Mativ Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results


ALPHARETTA, GA, November 8, 2023 -– Mativ Holdings, Inc. ("Mativ" or the "Company") (NYSE: MATV) reported earnings results for the three months ended September 30, 2023. On July 6, 2022, Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. ("SWM") and Neenah, Inc. ("Neenah") completed a merger of equals ("the merger"). Financial results for periods prior to the July 6, 2022 merger reflect only the continuing operations of legacy SWM results. On August 1, 2023, Mativ Holdings, Inc. (“Mativ” or the “Company”) announced the planned sale of its Engineered Papers business, which is now presented as discontinued operations. Financial results for continuing operations exclude Engineered Papers in all periods.

Adjusted measures are reconciled to GAAP at the end of this release. Financial comparisons are versus the prior year period unless stated otherwise. Figures may not sum to total due to rounding. "Comparable" non-GAAP measures used to compare current period Mativ results with the combined reported results for legacy Neenah and SWM operations, adjusted for certain reclassifications and other reporting conformations in the periods prior to the close of the merger. The Company's December 22, 2022 Form 8-K includes reconciliations of periods prior to the merger.

Mativ Third Quarter 2023 Highlights (Continuing Operations)

•Sales decreased 9.7% to $498.2 million, reflecting lower volume partly offset by higher selling prices and currency translation
•GAAP loss was $464.3 million, GAAP EPS was $(8.50). Results included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $401.0 million ($7.30 per share) and $24.3 million ($0.40 per share) related to asset write-downs and the planned divestiture of Engineered Papers
•Adjusted income was $11.2 million, Adjusted EPS was $0.21, and Adjusted EBITDA was $55.4 million (see non-GAAP reconciliations). Adjusted EBITDA was down 20% versus the prior year, as impacts from lower volumes more than offset net benefits of price/input costs and synergies
Non-Cash Goodwill Impairment Charge
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023 the Company performed a goodwill impairment analysis which resulted in recording $401.0 million of pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment. The impairment was attributable to certain acquisitions and the sustained weakening of macroeconomic conditions, as well as the Company’s market valuation evolution since the merger.

Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Julie Schertell commented, "As we mark the start of our second year as Mativ, despite the current challenging environment, I am encouraged by what we have accomplished and where we are headed. During the past year we brought two great companies together, established a can-do culture, and quickly identified and began realizing significant synergies. Additionally, we completed a rigorous assessment of our business portfolio, leading to the decision to divest Engineered Papers (EP). As we move forward, in addition to targeted volume and growth initiatives, our teams are focused on increasing operating and capital efficiencies to further enhance cash flows, and multiple actions are underway to reduce spending, optimize our footprint, and continue to deliver working capital efficiencies."

"Our actions are especially appropriate in today’s uncertain economic and geopolitical environment. Third quarter results reflect the continued impact of weak customer demand and destocking in this environment, as well as normal seasonal slowing in the second half of the year. With volume the biggest near-term challenge in both segments, we are working very closely with our customers, aggressively managing costs, and continuing to deliver positive price/input cost performance."

Ms. Schertell concluded, "Following the EP sale, Advanced Technical Materials will represent 80 percent of Mativ. Our ATM businesses are well-positioned in large, fast-growing markets where we provide unique, defensible solutions and deliver attractive mid-teen EBITDA margins. As volumes recover throughout the next year, we expect to increase margins across both segments and reach our stated quarterly EBITDA target of $70 million and grow from there. Our teams are prioritizing actions to actively address short-term challenges, while continuing to execute


against a clear long-term strategy, part of which is a continued commitment to de-lever, as exemplified by our previously communicated intent to use net proceeds from the EP sale to reduce our debt by more than one third. I’m confident these efforts, in tandem, will accelerate our growth, strengthen our financial position, and deliver added value to our shareholders."
Mativ Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results from Continuing Operations

Note: The Reported Results below reflect consolidated Mativ results in the current and prior period. See the supplemental tables titled Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Continuing Operations for additional financial information regarding the combined company’s financial information.

Advanced Technical Materials (ATM)
Three Months Ended September 30,
(in millions; unaudited)20232022Change20232022
Net Sales $393.8 $426.1 $(32.3)
GAAP Operating Profit & Margin %$(378.8)$31.5 $(410.3)(96.2)%7.4 %
Adjusted EBITDA & Margin %$58.7 $62.2 $(3.5)14.9 %14.6 %

Advanced Technical Materials (ATM) segment sales of $393.8 million were down 7.6% versus the prior year period, reflecting lower volume partly offset by higher selling prices and favorable currency translation. Lower volume across the segment reflect increased customer caution in the current uncertain economic environment, as well as impacts of seasonal slowing, particularly in Europe. Healthcare was a top performer, with double-digit growth for the quarter.

GAAP Operating Profit in 2023 included the goodwill impairment charge of $401.0 million as well as $8.7 million in other expenses related to footprint rationalization. Adjusted EBITDA (see non-GAAP reconciliations) decreased 6% compared to the prior year period, with lower volumes offsetting favorable impacts of net selling price/input cost increases, and currency translation. Margins were sustained at mid-teen levels and increased 30 basis points versus the prior year, in part due to merger synergies and more profitable mix of products sold.

Fiber-Based Solutions (FBS)
Three Months Ended September 30,
(in millions; unaudited)20232022Change20232022
Net Sales $104.4 $125.4 $(21.0)
GAAP Operating Profit & Margin %
$(4.4)$10.3 $(14.7)(4.2)%8.2 %
Adjusted EBITDA & Margin %$14.8 $25.8 $(11.0)14.2 %20.6 %

Fiber-Based Solutions (FBS) segment sales, now comprised solely of Packaging and Specialty Papers, were $104.4 million, down 16.7% versus a very strong prior year period. Volume was lower compared to the prior year when significant industry-wide customer inventory builds occurred. Lower demand for premium business papers and packaging, along with continued customer destocking, offset benefits from increased sales of consumer papers and higher selling prices.

GAAP Operating Profit in 2023 included $10.4 million of other expenses primarily related to fixed asset write-downs. Adjusted EBITDA (see non-GAAP reconciliations) decreased 43% versus prior year as favorable net selling price/input costs and cost reduction initiatives were more than offset by lower volumes and associated fixed cost absorption. In addition, manufacturing costs in 2022 benefited from a significant one-time positive impact following the merger and harmonization of inventory costing systems.

UnallocatedThree Months Ended September 30,
(in millions; unaudited)20232022Change20232022
GAAP Operating Expense & % of Sales$(36.7)$(73.4)$36.7 (7.4)%(13.3)%
Adjusted EBITDA & % of Sales
$(18.1)$(18.4)$0.3 (3.6)%(3.3)%

Adjusted unallocated expenses (EBITDA) (see non-GAAP reconciliations) were in line with prior year. GAAP operating expenses included $5.2 million of EP divestiture expenses.

Interest expense was $16.8 million versus $14.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates on floating rate debt in 2023.



Other income (expense), net of $(0.3) million decreased $1.7 million compared with the prior year income of $1.4 million. The decrease in 2023 was primarily due to losses on foreign exchange contracts.

Tax rate was (6.2)% during 3Q:23.The unusually low tax rate was driven by a goodwill impairment that was not deductible for tax purposes and a $31.7 million tax expense related to a valuation allowance that reduced the carrying value of a long-term tax asset, as that asset is not expected to be fully realized in the future. Excluding the impact of that valuation allowance and other non-GAAP adjustments, the Company's tax rate was 17.1%.

Non-GAAP Adjustments reflect items included in GAAP operating profit, income, and EPS, but excluded from adjusted results (see non-GAAP reconciliation tables for additional details). The most significant adjustments to third quarter 2023 results were as follows:

•$7.30 per share of goodwill impairment expenses related to our ATM segments
•$0.72 per share of expenses related to discrete tax items, including tax valuation allowances
•$0.28 per share of costs to write down assets
•$0.23 per share of purchase accounting expenses (purchase accounting expenses reflect primarily ongoing non-cash intangible asset amortizations associated with mergers and acquisitions)
•$0.14 per share of expenses related to the Merger, which included integration and severance expenses
•$0.08 per share of expenses related to the pending sale of our Engineered Papers business


Cash Flow & Debt

Year-to-date 2023 cash provided by operating activities was $37.8 million. Capital spending and software costs totaled $49.9 million. Working capital was a $13.4 million use of cash.

Total debt was $1,738.5 million as of September 30, 2023 and total cash was $84.7 million resulting in net debt of $1,653.8 million. Total liquidity was approximately $414 million, consisting of $85 million of cash and $329 million of revolver availability. The Company's debt matures on a staggered basis between 2026 and 2028.

Discontinued Operations

Sales related to the Company's discontinued operations were $127.2 million in the third quarter and GAAP earnings were $9.3 million, or $0.17 per share.

Dividend & Share Repurchases

On August 1, 2023, the Company announced capital allocation changes, including plans to modify the quarterly dividend from $0.40 to $0.10 per share. The first dividend payment of $5.5 million at this new rate was paid in the third quarter. The Company announced its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable on December 15, 2023 to stockholders of record as of November 24, 2023.

During the third quarter, the company used $4.4 million to repurchase shares. The Company intends to repurchase shares periodically and opportunistically to offset dilution due to stock compensation.

For a more detailed discussion of these factors, also see the information under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Mativ's most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and any material updates to these factors contained in any of Mativ’s future filings with the SEC. The discussion of these risks is specifically incorporated by reference into this release. The financial results reported in this release are unaudited.

Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance unless expressed as such and should only be viewed as historical data. The financial results reported in this release are unaudited.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial measures and comments contained in this press release exclude restructuring and impairment expenses, certain purchase accounting adjustments related to ATM and FBS segment acquisitions, acquisition/merger and integration related costs, interest expense, the effect of income tax provisions and other tax impacts, capital spending, capitalized software costs, and depreciation and amortization. This press release also provides certain information regarding the Company's financial results excluding currency impacts. This information


estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of the Company's current financial results as compared to the applicable comparable period and is derived by translating the current local currency results into U.S. Dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable period. Financial measures which exclude or include these items have not been determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and are therefore "non-GAAP" financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely analogous measure determined in accordance with GAAP are included in the financial schedules attached to this release.

The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency on the information used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company’s financial and operational performance in the same way that management evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that providing this information enables investors to better understand the Company’s operating performance and financial condition. These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with, and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as alternatives or substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this release may be different from the measures used by other companies.

Combined Legacy Financial Information

Due to the significance of the merger and the resulting change in our reportable segments, Mativ is providing the supplemental combined legacy financial information set forth in the tables below under the captions “Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Combined Legacy Neenah and SWM Operating Profit for Comparability” and “Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Organic Net Sales Growth” to enhance its investors’ ability to evaluate and compare the Company's operating performance on a combined basis with Neenah. The purpose of the supplemental legacy combined financial information is to reflect changes to our reportable segments and to present certain non-GAAP financial measures on a combined company basis.

The supplemental combined legacy financial information in the attached schedules is not necessarily indicative of the operating results of the combined companies had the merger been completed at the beginning of or prior to the periods presented or of the operating results of the combined company in the future. The supplemental combined legacy financial information for periods prior to the date of the merger does not reflect cost savings or other synergies anticipated as a result of the merger. The supplemental combined legacy financial information is not pro forma information prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the SEC, and the preparation of information in accordance with Article 11 would result in a different presentation.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
(in millions)
(Unaudited)

NOTE REGARDING SEGMENT REPORTING AND COMPARABILITY
On August 1, 2023, Mativ Holdings, Inc. (“Mativ” or the “Company”) announced the planned sale of its Engineered Papers business, which is now presented as discontinued operations.

Effective July 6, 2022, in connection with the close of the merger, Mativ has two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Advanced Technical Materials ("ATM") and Fiber-Based Solutions ("FBS"). ATM is comprised of the legacy SWM Advanced Materials & Structures segment and the legacy Neenah Technical Products segment. FBS is comprised of the legacy SWM Engineered Papers segment and the legacy Neenah Fine Paper and Packaging segment. For accounting purposes, SWM was the surviving entity, thus periods subsequent to the September 2022 quarter results reflect the merged company's financials while all prior periods reflect only previously reported SWM consolidated and segment results.
