Axalta Releases Third Quarter 2016 Results
Third Quarter 2016 Highlights:
- Net sales of $1,023.4 million driven by volume and pricing growth of 4.4%, offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation
- Net loss attributable to Axalta of $10.7 million including refinancing charges of $81.9 million versus net income attributable to Axalta of $35.1 million in Q3 2015; Adjusted net income attributable to Axalta of $77.5 million for Q3 2016 versus $64.2 million in Q3 2015
- Adjusted EBITDA of $233.2 million versus $216.9 million in Q3 2015
- Debt refinancings will reduce annual cash interest expense by $20.6 million. USD term loan prepayment in October of $150 million will save an additional $5.6 million in annual cash interest expense
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (NYSE:AXTA) (“Axalta”), a leading global coatings company, announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
“Third quarter results demonstrated strong top line and Adjusted EBITDA performance thanks to ongoing base business development, recent acquisitions, and strong operating profitability, against a continued challenging macroeconomic backdrop. We continued to make good progress towards both our full year and longer term objectives of achieving consistent growth as well as improved productivity,” said Charles W. Shaver, Axalta’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our capital structure was also significantly improved this quarter with two successful debt refinancings and a subsequent prepayment in October. Rounding out the quarter, we closed our largest acquisition to date and launched several notable new products which are expected to contribute to our planned growth.”
Third Quarter Consolidated Financial Results
Net sales of $1,023.4 million for the third quarter of 2016 benefited from volume and pricing growth, offset in part by a 2.1% negative impact from foreign currency translation. Constant currency net sales increased 4.4% compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by 1.9% higher average selling prices. Acquisitions contributed 2.6 percentage points of growth in the quarter. The strongest regional contributors to net sales growth were Asia Pacific, North America and Latin America, which benefited from price adjustments to offset ongoing currency weakness.
We reported a net loss attributable to Axalta of $10.7 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared with net income attributable to Axalta of $35.1 million in Q3 2015. The net loss in Q3 2016 was primarily driven by an $81.9 million loss on the extinguishment of our indebtedness and refinancing charges coupled with severance charges. Adjusted net income attributable to Axalta of $77.5 million for the third quarter of 2016 increased from $64.2 million in Q3 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA of $233.2 million for the third quarter increased compared to $216.9 million in Q3 2015. This result benefitted from strong volume and acquisition growth in Asia Pacific and EMEA, pricing contributions and lower variable costs as well as savings from our operating enhancement initiatives. These factors were somewhat offset by negative foreign currency translation and operational expenditures to support planned growth.
Performance Coatings Results
Performance Coatings net sales were $619.3 million in Q3 2016, an increase of 3.1% year-over-year including a 2.7% unfavorable foreign currency translation impact. Constant currency net sales increased 5.8%, driven by a 2.9% increase in volumes and higher average selling prices of 2.9% in the period. Acquisitions added 3.4% to volume growth in the quarter. Refinish end-market net sales increased 1.8% to $434.5 million in Q3 2016 (increased 4.9% excluding foreign currency translation), while our Industrial end-market increased 6.4% to $184.8 million (increased 8.2% excluding foreign currency translation).
The Performance Coatings segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $148.5 million in the third quarter, a 6.8% year-over-year increase. Positive pricing contributions, coupled with variable cost savings, were partially offset by negative foreign currency translation and incremental operating expense to support growth initiatives. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.0% in Q3 2016 reflected a 90 basis point increase compared to the corresponding prior year quarter.
Transportation Coatings Results
The Transportation Coatings segment produced net sales of $404.1 million in the third quarter, an increase of 1.1% versus third quarter 2015, largely driven by volume and price increases partially offset by negative currency translation. Constant currency net sales increased by 2.3%, including a 1.8% increase in volume and a 0.5% positive contribution from price. Acquisitions added 1.3% to volume growth in the period. Unfavorable foreign currency translation impacted net sales by 1.2% in the quarter. Transportation Coatings Q3 2016 net sales included a rebound in Light Vehicle growth compared to Q3 2015, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, offset by ongoing weakness in Commercial Vehicle particularly in North and South America. Light Vehicle net sales increased 5.7% to $321.1 million year-over-year (increased 6.7% excluding foreign currency translation), driven principally by the improvement in Asia Pacific versus last year, slight growth in North America and modest declines in EMEA. Commercial Vehicle net sales decreased 13.5% to $83.0 million versus last year (decreased 11.9% excluding foreign currency translation), driven by a combination of continued slower heavy truck production and ongoing slower volumes from our other non-truck product customers.
The Transportation Coatings segment generated Adjusted EBITDA of $84.7 million in Q3 2016, an increase of 8.7% compared to the third quarter of 2015, with positive volume, price and variable cost contributions partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation and ongoing operating expense increases to support planned growth. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.0% in Q3 2016 represented a 150 basis point increase from 19.5% in the prior year quarter.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $528.3 million. Our debt, net of cash, was $2,954.0 million as of September 30, 2016, compared to $3,141.9 million as of September 30, 2015. During the quarter we completed two refinancing transactions totaling $500 million and €785 million with a weighted average coupon of 4.29%. The transactions reduced annual pre-tax cash interest by approximately $20.6 million, extended maturities from 2021 to 2024 and 2025, and replaced €450 million of secured debt with unsecured debt. We also extended the maturity of our Revolving Credit Facility from 2018 to 2021 and improved pricing and certain terms of the facility. Subsequent to quarter end, we continued our debt reduction efforts by prepaying $150 million of our USD term loan, which will generate additional annual pre-tax interest savings of $5.6 million.
Third quarter operating cash flow was $144.5 million versus $158.8 million in the corresponding quarter of 2015, reflecting slightly higher working capital use. Free cash flow, calculated as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, totaled $114.0 million based on capital expenditures of $30.5 million.
“We are very pleased that in the third quarter we were able to substantially lower our interest expense through the refinancings while also extending and improving other terms in our debt agreements. In addition, we also saw continued strong free cash flow in the quarter,” said Robert W. Bryant, Axalta’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Axalta also opened its new European headquarters in Switzerland in July which was done to achieve key operational and financial benefits, while also yielding a more favorable after-tax profit for the balance of 2016 and beyond.”

We are updating our outlook for the full year 2016 as follows:
- Flat net sales; lower end of 4-6% guidance on a constant currency basis, including acquisition contribution

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This release may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding Axalta and its subsidiaries including those relating to returns generated by acquisitions and our plans for excess cash as well as our 2016 full year outlook, including net sales growth, Adjusted EBITDA, interest expense, income tax rate, as adjusted, diluted shares outstanding, working capital, capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization. All of these statements are based on management’s expectations as well as estimates and assumptions prepared by management that, although they believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors outside of Axalta’s control that may cause its business, industry, strategy, financing activities or actual results to differ materially. Axalta undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The historical financial information included in this presentation includes financial information that is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including constant currency net sales growth, income tax rate, as adjusted, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and Adjusted Net Income. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in the analysis of our financial and operating performance because they assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for (i) non-cash items included within net income, (ii) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (iii) nonrecurring or infrequent items that the Company believes are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand our operating results and ability to analyze financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis. Adjusted Net Income shows the adjusted value of Net Income attributable to controlling interests after removing the items that are determined by management to be items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance or unusual or nonrecurring in nature. Our use of the terms constant currency net sales growth, income tax rate, as adjusted, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and Adjusted Net Income may differ from that of others in our industry. Constant currency net sales growth, income tax rate, as adjusted, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as alternatives to net sales, net income (loss), income (loss) before operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Constant currency net sales growth, income tax rate, as adjusted, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net debt and Adjusted Net Income have important limitations as analytical tools and should be considered in conjunction with, and not as substitutes for, our results as reported under GAAP. This presentation includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Axalta does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates for net income or income tax rate, as-reported, on a forward-looking basis because the information necessary to calculate a meaningful or accurate estimation of reconciling items is not available without unreasonable effort. For example, such reconciling items include the impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses, gains or losses that are unusual or nonrecurring in nature, as well as discrete taxable events. We cannot estimate or project these items and they may have a substantial and unpredictable impact on our US GAAP results.
Segment Financial Measures
The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA, which is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts, and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company’s core operating performance. As we do not measure segment operating performance based on Net Income, a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is not available.
