Q1 2016 Reported EPS of ($0.06); Adjusted (1) EPS of $0.28 Compares Favorably to Prior Year of $0.03; Company Reaffirms 2016 Adjusted EPS Guidance of $1.85 to $2.10

PITTSBURGH, PA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/06/16 --  Koppers Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KOP), an integrated global provider of treated wood products, wood treatment chemicals and carbon compounds, today reported consolidated sales of $346.8 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of 12.8 percent, or $51 million, from sales of $397.8 million in the prior year quarter. The sales decline was primarily related to Carbon Materials and Chemicals (CMC), driven by lower sales volumes for carbon pitch and carbon black feedstock, combined with lower sales prices for carbon black feedstock and naphthalene. The sales volume reductions for CMC were mainly in North America as a result of reductions in aluminum capacity in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Net loss attributable to Koppers for the quarter was $1.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share compared to a loss of $3.4 million, or $0.16 per share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $5.9 million and $0.28 per share for the first quarter of 2016 compared to adjusted net income of $0.6 million and $0.03 per share in the prior year quarter.

Adjustments to pre-tax income for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $11.6 million and consisted primarily of restructuring expenses. For the prior year quarter, adjustments to pre-tax income amounted to $4.4 million and were mainly due to restructuring expenses, partially offset by a gain on the sale of a non-core business.

The Performance Chemicals (PC) business reported strong operating profitability as the trends for residential remodeling and existing home sales have continued to be positive, as well as higher construction activities due to favorable weather conditions. The results for the Railroad and Utility Products and Services (RUPS) business slightly declined due to a combination of lower demand in our rail joint product line caused by reductions in capital budgets for most North American Class I railroads, and the discontinuance of toll treating services provided to the acquirer of our U.S. utility pole business during 2015. CMC operating profitability, on an adjusted basis, was relatively flat compared to the prior year quarter as decreased volumes and lower selling prices of certain products were almost entirely offset by cost savings recognized through restructuring efforts and lower raw material costs.

Commenting on the quarter, Leroy Ball, president and CEO of Koppers, said, "I am pleased that we delivered solid results in the first quarter considering the persistent headwinds that we continue to face. Performance Chemicals had a tremendous quarter due to unseasonably higher demand and while I anticipate continued strong performance from this segment in 2016, I do not expect a continuation of the rate of year-over-year outperformance that we saw in the first quarter. It was nice to see that core crosstie volumes in the first quarter were in line with last year, but we are now expecting a modest drop in demand in the remainder of the year as the Class I railroads have tightened their spending programs for 2016. We continue to make progress on our restructuring efforts in CMC as evidenced by our ability to generate relatively flat EBITDA despite sustaining a 32 percent drop in sales. I expect an acceleration in earnings to begin in CMC during the second half of the year when we will be further along with our cost saving initiatives."

Mr. Ball added, "Another positive development is our recent credit facility amendment that provides for additional room in our financial covenants. While this provides us with more financial flexibility, we remain intensely focused on delivering on our commitment to improve our balance sheet through the reduction of debt. Keeping our total debt level in the first quarter flat with year-end 2015 was a considerable accomplishment considering the typical demands on working capital early in the year and was in line with our expectations."

Summary of First-Quarter Financial Performance:

• Sales for PC of $88.0 million increased by $6.5 million, or 8 percent, compared to sales of $81.5 million in the prior year quarter. This sales growth was due to higher demand in the U.S., driven primarily by favorable market trends in residential remodeling and existing home sales, as well as warmer weather conditions allowing for more construction activities. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.3 percent for the first quarter significantly exceeded 14.2 percent in the prior year quarter, due mainly to higher sales volumes that led to greater absorption of fixed costs and lower raw material costs.
• Sales for RUPS of $151.4 million decreased by $6.7 million, or 4 percent, compared to sales of $158.1 million in the prior year quarter. The lower sales volumes were due to a combination of reduced demand in rail joints, softness in the utility pole business in Australia, the discontinuance of toll treating services provided to the acquirer of our U.S. utility business during 2015, and foreign exchange translation. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter was 12.3 percent compared to 13.0 percent in the prior year period.
• Sales for CMC totaling $107.4 million decreased by 32.1 percent, or $50.8 million, compared to sales of $158.2 million in the prior year quarter. The sales decline reflects lower volumes for carbon pitch in North America and China, combined with lower sales prices for carbon pitch, carbon black feedstock and naphthalene which have been affected by lower oil prices, partially offset by increased sales volumes of phthalic anhydride. CMC sales also included a negative impact of approximately $2.4 million from foreign currency translation. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the first quarter was negative 2.6 percent compared with negative 1.6 percent in the prior year quarter.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $33.3 million compared to $26.9 million in the first quarter of 2015, due mainly to higher profitability from the PC business, which more than offset the lower earnings from CMC and RUPS.
• Items excluded from adjusted EBITDA consisted of $8.5 million of pre-tax charges, and adjusted net income and adjusted EPS for the quarter excluded $11.6 million of pre-tax charges, both of which related primarily to restructuring expenses.

2016 Outlook

The company is reaffirming its outlook and expects to generate sales of approximately $1.5 billion for 2016. Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be in the range of $160 to $168 million, compared with a prior forecast of $158 to $168 million. Adjusted EPS is projected to be between $1.85 and $2.10, compared with the previous range of $1.80 to $2.10 as stronger performance from Performance Chemicals is expected to continue and offset a projected softening in treated crosstie volumes. This forecast is based on an underlying assumption that crude oil prices will average approximately $35 per barrel.

Additionally, the company continues to expect capital expenditures to be $40 to $45 million in 2016. Regarding debt reduction, the company maintains its targeted range of $85 to $110 million debt reduction in 2016, which is consistent with its goal of paying down debt by $200 to $225 million over the 2015-2016 period.

For the company's 2016 guidance, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS excludes restructuring, impairment, non-cash LIFO charges, and non-cash mark-to-market commodity hedging. The forecasted amounts for these items are not determinable, but may be significant. For that reason, the company is unable to provide GAAP earnings estimates at this time; however, definitions and reconciliations for historical non-GAAP measures presented herein are provided per footnote 1 below.

Agreement to Sell U.K. Properties and Assets

Koppers has executed a definitive agreement for the sale of its tar distillation properties and assets in the United Kingdom. The company expects the sale to close sometime during the second quarter of 2016, subject to certain closing conditions.

During the first quarter, the company announced the closure of its Port Clarence and Scunthorpe tar distillation facilities in the U.K., and as part of further streamlining the CMC operating footprint, the related real property at these locations are being sold to U.K.-based Industrial Chemicals Group Limited (ICGL).

The terms of the agreement provide for the transfer of essentially all assets at the two sites to ICGL in exchange for ICGL assuming all historical environmental-related liabilities at both sites. In addition, Koppers is making a modest cash contribution towards the environmental remediation that will be ratably released from escrow over the next three years. Closing of the sale is subject to certain closing conditions, including the transfer of environmental permits to ICGL which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2016.

As part of the transaction, in order to enable Koppers to continue to meet its customer obligations, ICGL has agreed to provide terminal services to Koppers U.K. Limited for the storage and shipping of coal tar, as well as production services to Koppers Specialty Chemicals.

Commenting on the agreement Mr. Ball said, "This is a transaction that makes perfect sense for us as it caps our exposure to the potential costs of closing the two facilities while allowing us to sharpen our focus towards the other major components of our CMC restructuring plan."

Koppers believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share provide information useful to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance of the company, its business and performance trends and facilitates comparisons between periods and with other corporations in similar industries. The exclusion of certain items permits evaluation and a comparison of results for ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that Koppers management internally assesses the company's performance.

Although Koppers believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP basis financial measures.
