“Lydall delivered solid financial performance and exceptional cash flow in a challenging quarter. The Company demonstrated its continued ability to execute by delivering profitable growth in specialty filtration, announcing  restructuring projects which simplify and focus the portfolio, and generating healthy free cash flow of over $29 million,” Sara A. Greenstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, said.

“Robust demand for specialty filtration products continued, with sales in Performance Materials’ (‘PM’) Filtration sub-segment up 38% compared to prior year, driving an adjusted EBITDA margin of almost 21% in the segment. Our global meltblown assets are at full capacity, and we are on schedule to be fully operational early next year on the first of two new domestic meltblown assets. This is expected to be a strong and immediate contributor to 2021 EBITDA as its capacity has been fully committed under long term contracts. Furthermore, we announced additional capital investment in fine fiber meltblown capability in our Saint-Rivalain, France facility to serve the indoor air quality and PPE markets in Europe. This investment will be supported by up to 30% co-funding from France’s Ministry of Economy and Finance.”

“Global auto demand rebounded sharply in the third quarter driving a surge in our Thermal Acoustical Solutions (“TAS”) business, which more than doubled sales from the second quarter. Volumes in North America were up over 150% sequentially as a result of Lydall’s exposure to light truck and SUV platforms. At the same time, the Company began to experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, particularly at its North American operation, resulting in workforce shortages and other operational inefficiencies causing higher overtime, outsourcing costs, and logistics costs, some of which will continue through the fourth quarter,” said Ms. Greenstein. “We continue to be vigilant in protecting the health, safety and well-being of our entire workforce while balancing the increasing demands of our automotive customers.”

Ms. Greenstein concluded, “In addition, we took decisive action to rationalize the manufacturing footprint in our Performance Materials business by announcing the closure of two underperforming facilities in Europe and eliminating an unprofitable domestic product line. These initiatives should not only result in accretive margins going forward but also help Lydall focus critical resources on higher return opportunities.”

Q3 2020 Consolidated Results

Net sales of $207.1 million increased by $1.8 million, or 0.9% compared to the third quarter of 2019. Organically, sales were up 0.3%, led by 11.4% organic growth in PM, offset by softer demand in the Technical Nonwovens (“TNW”) segment and a modest year over year decline in TAS. Gross margin of 18.3% in the quarter grew by 50 basis points year-over-year. Randall B. Gonzales, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Continued strong demand for specialty filtration added $8.5 million of sales, and combined with favorable pricing and productivity, PM results expanded consolidated gross margin by 330 basis points. As noted, while sales in TAS more than doubled sequentially, the COVID-19 related labor shortages increased costs in the TAS segment negatively impacting consolidated gross margin by approximately 160 basis points.”

Operating loss of $9.3 million included $15.0 million of one-time charges related to restructuring actions in the PM segment. These actions included non-cash asset write-offs of $5.5 million to exit under-performing product lines and rationalizing the manufacturing footprint of the segment. Adjusted for these charges, consolidated operating income was $5.7 million.

Adjusted EBITDA margin in PM was 20.5%, up 880 basis points from prior year and 100 basis points from second quarter on favorable mix of high margin specialty filtration products. EBITDA margin of 14.2% in the TNW segment was down 230 basis points on lower volumes and absorption. Finally, EBITDA margin of 4.8% in TAS was unfavorably impacted by COVID-19 related costs, but the business improved significantly from second quarter, which was in a net loss position. Mr. Gonzales commented, “PM continues to provide strong tailwinds to our earnings, and despite the current disruptions in TAS, we feel the business is well positioned to succeed as automotive volumes stabilize in 2021.”

Liquidity

Net cash provided by operations in the third quarter of 2020 was $34.2 million driven by continued working capital management initiatives, accounts receivable factoring, and payroll tax deferral under the CARES Act. Mr. Gonzales concluded, “Our operating results and disciplined approach to working capital management continue to drive strong cash flow to fund our strategic investments in fine fiber meltblown capacity to address the specialty filtration market, while providing a strong liquidity position.” The Company’s cash balance was $122.0 million as of September 30, 2020, compared to $92.5 million at June 30, 2020. Debt balance at September 30, 2020 was $283.0 million, and the Company’s net leverage ratio was 3.4.

Outlook 

Ms. Greenstein commented, “As we approach the end of 2020 and look forward to 2021, we continue to see sustaining, long-term demand for specialty filtration media. Beyond the opportunities created by the push from governments around the world to localize critical PPE supply chains and the long-term contracts and government support Lydall has secured in support of this effort, we are at the forefront of the structural shift in the market for higher efficiency filtration for indoor air quality applications. We are expanding our innovation capabilities and talent by investing in our Specialty Filtration Center of Excellence, co-located at our Rochester, NH production facility to rapidly develop high performance filtration media to serve the new filtration standards for indoor air quality worldwide. We are partnering with our largest customers to develop these innovative next generation filtration solutions.

“Lydall is at the beginning of a transformational journey. We have sharpened our focus by taking deliberate actions to reshape our portfolio that drive higher returns for our shareholders. These actions marked the start of a disciplined process which will include optimization of current product lines and re-alignment of resources to focus on strategic growth opportunities like specialty filtration where our product expertise and innovation provide clear competitive advantages.” Ms. Greenstein concluded, “We look forward to discussing the value creation roadmap at our upcoming Investor Day in December, showing how we will enhance margins, further increase our healthy cash flow, and intentionally direct capital towards high margin engineered materials and solutions that promote a cleaner, quieter, safer world.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including organic sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted earnings per share, consolidated and segment EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The attached financial tables address the non-GAAP measures used in this press release and reconcile non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP measures helps investors gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts. Adjusted segment EBITDA is used as a basis to internally evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s segments because the Company believes it reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment's ability to generate cash. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the corresponding GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

This press release provides information regarding organic sales change, defined as net sales change excluding (1) sales from acquired and divested businesses (2) the impact of foreign currency translation and (3) tooling sales. Management believes that the presentation of organic sales change is useful to investors because it enables them to assess, on a consistent basis, sales trends related to the Company selling products to customers, without the impact of foreign currency rate changes that are not under management’s control and do not reflect the performance of the Company and management. Tooling sales are excluded because tooling revenue is not generated from selling the Company’s products to customers, but rather is reimbursement from our customers for the design and production of tools used by the Company in our manufacturing processes. Tooling sales can be sporadic and may mask underlying business conditions and obscure business trends.
