MATV Mativ Holdings Inc

Mativ Holdings, Inc. ("Mativ" or the "Company") (NYSE: MATV) reported earnings results for the three months ended September 30, 2024. On November 30, 2023, Mativ Holdings, Inc. (“Mativ” or the “Company”) completed the sale of its Engineered Papers business. 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 reflect prior period results revised to align with our new segment reporting structure. The Company previously also filed a separate Form 8-K on May 8, 2024, which includes comparable financial statements for all fiscal quarters of 2023 revised to align with the new segment reporting structure.

Mativ Third Quarter 2024 Highlights (Continuing Operations)

• Sales of $498.5 million increased 0.1% year over year, and 1.4% on an organic basis
• GAAP loss was $20.8 million in Q3 2024, an improvement of $443.5 million compared to $464.3 million in the prior year (which included a $401.0 million goodwill impairment charge), GAAP EPS was $(0.38); both included organizational realignment, impairment, divestiture and purchase accounting expenses
• Adjusted income was $11.0 million, Adjusted EPS was $0.21, and Adjusted EBITDA was $60.8 million (see non-GAAP reconciliations)
• Adjusted EBITDA was up 10% versus the prior year, primarily driven by improved manufacturing performance, lower SG&A and distribution expenses, partially offset by lower volumes in advanced films, and less favorable mix
• GAAP operating profit margin improved materially compared to the prior year (which included a $401.0 million goodwill impairment charge) and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 110 basis points

Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Julie Schertell commented, "We saw meaningful increases in volume and profitability in Filtration and our overall SAS segment during the third quarter, with SAS segment adjusted EBITDA increasing almost 20% year over year. This was somewhat offset by results in Advanced Films, which were impacted by automotive and construction end markets. As such, we have launched a turnaround effort specific to Advanced Films focused on demand generation, operational performance and increased customer and end market diversification. This turnaround effort will be similar to the approach we used for Healthcare throughout 2023, which year-to-date, resulted in above-market sales growth of more than 5% and materially improved profitability versus the same period in 2023.

Given the prevailing macro-economic conditions and the slow pace of demand recovery, we continue to prioritize those things that we can control and execute on actions to mitigate external market factors, such as the $20 million reduction in non-operating cost announced earlier this year. Additionally, we are increasing capacity in our growth categories of filtration, specialty tapes, release liners and medical films, while at the same time reducing cost and optimizing our supply chain by reducing our plant footprint from 48 sites at the time of the merger to 35 sites today and our warehousing footprint by more than 25%. These actions reduce cost and complexity, and support sustained margin improvements as demand returns.”

Filtration & Advanced Materials (FAM) segment sales, comprised primarily of filtration media and components, advanced films, coating and converting solutions, and extruded mesh products, were $189.6 million, down 3.2% versus the prior year period, as higher volumes in filtration & netting were more than offset by lower volumes in advanced films along with lower selling prices.

GAAP Operating Profit in 2024 included $0.8 million of restructuring and impairment expenses primarily related to organizational realignment and footprint rationalization. Adjusted EBITDA (see non-GAAP reconciliations) decreased 7% versus prior year as higher volumes in filtration & netting, lower selling and general expenses, and improved manufacturing efficiencies were more than offset by lower volumes in advanced films, and lower selling prices.

Sustainable & Adhesive Solutions (SAS) segment sales, comprised primarily of tapes, labels, liners, specialty paper, packaging and healthcare solutions, of $308.9 million were up 2.1%, and 4.4% on an organic basis, versus the prior year period, as higher volumes across all end-markets and higher selling prices were partially offset by sales associated with closed and divested plants.

GAAP Operating Profit in 2024 included $10.5 million in restructuring, restructuring related, and impairment expenses primarily related to organizational realignment and footprint rationalization and included $401 million in goodwill impairment in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA (see non-GAAP reconciliations) increased $6.8 million (or almost 20%) compared to the prior year period, driven by favorable manufacturing and distribution costs, favorable relative net selling price versus input cost performance, and higher volumes were partially offset by unfavorable mix and higher SG&A expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.3% increased 200 basis points versus the prior year.

Adjusted unallocated expenses (EBITDA) (see non-GAAP reconciliations) were in line with prior year. GAAP operating expenses in 2024 included $1.5 million in organizational realignment and integration costs, and $0.4 million of EP divestiture expenses.

Interest expense was $18.3 million versus $16.8 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher average interest rates and higher average balances on the floating portion of our outstanding debt in 2024.

Other expense, net was $12.7 million increased $12.4 million compared with the prior year $0.3 million primarily driven by foreign currency losses and other asset related charges.

Tax rate was 13.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The lower tax rate was driven by impact of one-time tax adjustments. Excluding the impact of these one-time tax adjustments, the Company's tax rate was 21.1%.

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 the third quarter 2024 results were as follows:

• $0.22 per share of purchase accounting expenses (purchase accounting expenses reflect primarily ongoing non-cash intangible asset amortizations associated with mergers and acquisitions)
• $0.20 per share of restructuring, restructuring related, impairment, and other expenses

Cash Flow & Debt

Year-to-date 2024 cash provided by operating activities was $70.7 million. Capital spending and software costs totaled $35.6 million. Working capital was a $0.8 million source of cash due to an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and an increase in inventories.

Total debt was $1,143.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and total cash was $162.2 million resulting in net debt of $981.2 million. Total liquidity was approximately $463 million, consisting of $162 million of cash and $301 million of revolver availability. The Company's debt matures on a staggered basis between 2027 and 2029. The Company redeemed the 2026 senior unsecured notes on October 7, 2024 and issued $400 million senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2029.

Dividend & Share Repurchases

On November 6, 2024 the Company announced its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable on December 20, 2024 to stockholders of record as of November 29, 2024.

During the third quarter, the company did not repurchase shares. The Company intends to repurchase shares periodically and opportunistically to offset dilution due to stock compensation.

These forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and on numerous assumptions regarding the business strategies and the environment in which Mativ will operate in the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and persons reading this presentation are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this press release. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations as of the date of this release. These risks include, among other things, the following factors:

• Risks associated with the implementation of our strategic growth initiatives, including diversification, and the Company's understanding of, and entry into, new industries and technologies;

• Supply chain disruptions, including the failure of one or more material suppliers, including energy, resin, fiber, and chemical suppliers, to supply materials as needed to maintain our product plans and cost structure;
• Increases in operating costs due to inflation and continuing increases in the inflation rate or otherwise, such as labor expense, compensation and benefits costs;
• Our ability to attract and retain key personnel, labor shortages, labor strikes, stoppages or other disruptions;
• Changes in general economic, financial and credit conditions in the U.S., Europe, China and elsewhere, including the impact thereof on currency exchange rates (including any weakening of the Euro) and on interest rates;
• A failure in our risk management and/or currency or interest rate swaps and hedging programs, including the failures of any insurance company or counterparty;

• Changes in employment, wage and hour laws and regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere, including the unionization rules and regulations by the National Labor Relations Board, equal pay initiatives, additional anti-discrimination rules or tests and different interpretations of exemptions from overtime laws;
• The impact of tariffs, and the imposition of any future additional tariffs and other trade barriers, and the effects of retaliatory trade measures;
• Existing and future governmental regulation and the enforcement thereof that may materially restrict or adversely affect how we conduct business and our financial results;
• Weather conditions, including potential impacts, if any, from climate change, known and unknown, and natural disasters or unusual weather events;
• International conflicts and disputes, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the war between Israel and Hamas and the broader regional conflict in the Middle East, which restrict our ability to supply products into affected regions, due to the corresponding effects on demand, the application of international sanctions, or practical consequences on transportation, banking transactions, and other commercial activities in troubled regions;
• Compliance with the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws or trade control laws, as well as other laws governing our operations;
• Risks associated with pandemics and other public health emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic and its variant strains;

• Failure by us to comply with any privacy or data security laws or to protect against theft of customer, employee and corporate sensitive information;
• The impact of cybersecurity risks related to breaches of security pertaining to sensitive Company, customer or vendor information, as well as breaches in the technology that manages operations and other business processes; and
• Other factors described elsewhere in this document and from time to time in documents that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

All forward-looking statements made in this document are qualified by these cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements herein are made only as of the date of this document, and Mativ undertakes no obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, or changes in future operating results over time or otherwise.

The discussion of these risks is specifically incorporated by reference into this release. 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 prior acquisitions, organizational realignment and integration costs, divestiture costs, interest expense, stock compensation expense, inventory step-up expense, the effect of income tax provisions and other tax impacts, capital spending, capitalized software costs, cloud-based 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.

BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

(in millions)

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE REGARDING SEGMENT REPORTING AND COMPARABILITY

 

The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K/A on December 6, 2023 to reflect the impact of the Engineered Papers (“EP”) Divestiture as discontinued operations and to present certain Non-GAAP financial measures quarterly on a comparable basis beginning with the first quarter of 2022 (the "EP Supplemental Financial Information"). The Company filed a Current Report in form 8-K on May 8, 2024 to update the presentation of such Non-GAAP financial measures previously disclosed in the EP Supplemental Financial Information in order to reflect the changes to the Company's reportable segments discussed below and enhance the Company's shareholders' ability to evaluate Company operating performance. The EP business is presented as a discontinued operation for all periods and certain prior period amounts were retrospectively revised to reflect these changes.

 

As part of the organizational realignment effective during the first quarter of 2024, we have reorganized into two new reportable segments: (1) Filtration & Advanced Materials ("FAM") focused primarily on filtration media and components, advanced films, coating and converting solutions, and extruded mesh products, and (2) Sustainable & Adhesive Solutions ("SAS"), focused primarily on tapes, labels, liners, specialty paper, packaging and healthcare solutions. The change in reportable segments reflects the realignment of segment level management and the related internal review of our operating segments. The prior period segment results have been revised to align with our current segment reporting structure and is presented on a continuing operations basis.
