Reported loss per share was $0.59.

“We delivered record sales and operating income in the third quarter. Each of our segments expanded margins both sequentially and year-over-year as we continue to drive higher levels of profitability and cash flow generation. Our new segments and organizational structure are aligned and delivering towards our long-term targets,” said Douglas T. Dietrich, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, the action recently taken by BMI to file for Chapter 11 protection was an important step towards comprehensively resolving its talc liabilities, and will provide the best outcome for the business, claimants, employees, customers, and shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2023

Worldwide net sales were $548 million, up 1 percent from the prior year. The Company reported an operating loss of $8 million due to a $72 million non-cash impairment of BMI’s fixed assets and $13 million of litigation costs associated with BMI’s Chapter 11 filing.

Operating income excluding special items was $77 million, up 9 percent sequentially and 15 percent above the prior year. Operating margin excluding special items was 14.1 percent, a 130 basis point improvement sequentially and a 170 basis point improvement year-over-year.

Consumer & Specialties segment sales were $291 million in the third quarter, up 2 percent over the prior year.

Household & Personal Care sales were $129 million, up 3 percent sequentially and up 9 percent from the prior year driven by our pricing actions and continued strong demand for our pet litter products. Specialty Additives sales were $162 million, down 2 percent sequentially and 2 percent below the prior year.

Segment operating income was $38 million excluding special items, up 13 percent sequentially and 23 percent over the prior year. Operating margin excluding special items was 13.2 percent, up 150 basis points sequentially and 230 basis points above prior year as the Company continues to execute on its margin improvement plan. Reported segment operating loss was $46.6 million due to special items related to BMI.

The Consumer & Specialties segment provides technologically enhanced products to consumer-driven end markets, including mineral-to-market household products, as well as specialty additives that become functional components in a variety of consumer and industrial goods. This segment includes two product lines: Household & Personal Care and Specialty Additives.

High-Temperature Technologies sales were $177 million, a decrease of 3 percent sequentially and up 1 percent from the prior year. Environmental & Infrastructure sales were $79 million, 1 percent higher sequentially but 2 percent lower than the prior year due to the weak commercial construction market conditions in North America.

Segment operating income was $41 million, 12 percent up from the prior year driven by strong operating performance and continued focus upon margin improvement. Operating margins represented 15.8 percent of sales, up 110 basis points sequentially and 160 basis points over last year.

The Engineered Solutions segment provides advanced process technologies and solutions that are designed to improve our customers’ manufacturing processes and projects. This segment includes two product lines: High-Temperature Technologies and Environmental & Infrastructure.  

Dividend Increase and Share Repurchase Program

This is an increase of $0.05 per share compared to the prior quarterly dividend. The dividend is payable on December 7, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2023.

In addition, the Board of Directors for MTI has authorized a new, one-year $75 million share repurchase program, effective immediately.

		MINERALS TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
		NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
1)		For comparative purposes, the quarterly periods ended October 1, 2023, July 2, 2023, and October 2, 2022 each consisted of 91 days. The nine month periods ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022 consisted of 274 days and 275 days, respectively.
2)		On a regular basis the Company reviews its segments and the approach used by the chief decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. Accordingly, in Q1 2023, the Company realigned its business reporting structure into two segments, Consumer & Specialties and Engineered Solutions.
		The Consumer & Specialties segment provides technologically enhanced products to consumer-driven end markets, including mineral-to-shelf household products, as well as specialty additives that become functional components in a variety of consumer and industrial goods. This segment includes two product lines: Household & Personal Care and Specialty Additives. The Engineered Solutions segment provides advanced process technologies and solutions that are designed to improve our customers’ manufacturing processes and projects. This segment includes two product lines: High-Temperature Technologies and Environmental & Infrastructure.
		We believe the new structure better aligns our businesses and technologies with our customers and end markets and creates a more efficient and effective management structure that reflects the way performance is evaluated and resources are allocated.
		For historical consolidated financial information based upon the new segment reporting structure, please see the Company's Form 8-K filed on March 15, 2023.
3)		To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items, for the quarterly periods ended October 1, 2023, July 2, 2023, and October 2, 2022, and the nine month periods ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022 and a reconciliation to reported earnings per share for such periods. The Company's management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.

		In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment of assets charge of $71.7 million associated with the Chapter 11 filing of Barretts Minerals Inc. within the Consumer & Specialties segment.
		In the second quarter of 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring and cost savings program to further streamline our cost structure as a result of organizational efficiencies gained through our recent resegmentation. Accordingly, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $6.6 million related to severance and other costs.
		In the second and third quarters of 2023, the Company recorded incremental litigation costs of $13.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively, incurred to defend against, opportunistically settle, and restore our reserve for claims associated with certain talc products from our Barretts Minerals Inc. subsidiary. Included in litigation costs for the three month and nine month periods ended October 2, 2022 are costs of $31.1 million and $32.6 million, respectively, incurred to defend against, opportunistically settle, and establish a reserve for claims associated with certain talc products from our Barretts Minerals Inc. subsidiary.
4)		Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. The following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended October 1, 2023, July 2, 2023, and October 2, 2022, and the nine month periods ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022 and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods. The Company's management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends and fund future business opportunities. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure. The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
