Second Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights

Net Sales

 

   

Consolidated net sales in second quarter 2012 of $46.5 million decreased $3.5 million, or 7.0% from the second quarter of 2011, which consists of $39.4 million of sales reported by the AGY US business segment (“AGY US”) and $7.2 million of sales reported by the AGY Asia business segment (“AGY Asia”). AGY US net sales in the second quarter of 2012 decreased $2.8 million, or 6.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2011. AGY Asia’s contribution to consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2012 decreased $0.6 million, or 7.7% compared to the second quarter of 2011 level (after accounting for the elimination of intercompany sales).

 

   

The decrease in AGY US net sales was primarily driven by lower sales volumes offset by continued favorable mix gains. The weaker demand affected primarily the Construction market due to product rationalization and mix enrichment actions and the Electronics market, which remained depressed and subject to competitive pressure. Additionally sales to this market had benefited in the second quarter of 2011 from filling product shortages at a price premium associated with the 2011 Japanese natural disaster. Sales into the defense market showed the largest year-over-year percentage growth due to the scale-up of some international structural armor programs. The aerospace market remained robust, with an on-going bias toward lighter-weight interior materials. Demand for CFM heavy truck and for industrial applications such as fire retardant mattresses remained robust and helped partially offset volume declines.

 

   

The decrease in AGY Asia net sales was primarily driven by lower sales volumes and average selling price due to the softer Asian electronic market in 2012.

Operating Results

 

   

Consolidated income from operations was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to a loss of $0.3 million for the same period in 2011, or an improvement of $1.4 million. Adjusting for the impact of restructuring charges of $2.1 million and $0.6 million, AGY US and AGY Asia operating results increased by $3.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.

 

   

Quarterly operating results for AGY US improved year-over-year primarily due to decreased manufacturing costs from the execution of operational efficiency improvement projects and cost control initiatives in a stable manufacturing environment. Additionally, results were positively impacted by lower metal operating losses due to the timing of metal recoveries and a decrease in cost of goods sold as a result of higher overhead absorption in 2012. These gains were partially reduced by the lower sales margin as noted above and by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses resulting primarily from accrued compensation expenses.

 

   

Quarterly AGY Asia operating results improved year-over-year primarily due to lower depreciation expense resulting from a lower carrying value after the impairment charge recorded against the AGY Asia long-lived assets last year. Partially offsetting this gain was lower margin from sales, inflation in labor and energy costs at the Chinese operations.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA attributable to AGY Holding Corp. (which excludes the portion of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the 30% non-controlling interest in AGY Asia) was $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $5.5 million in the second quarter 2011. AGY US second quarter 2012 Adjusted EBITDA of $6.2 million increased $2.2 million as compared to second quarter 2011 and AGY Asia second quarter 2012 Adjusted EBITDA attributable to AGY Holding Corp. of $1.2 million decreased $0.3 million as compared to the same period in 2011.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

 

   

As of June 30, 2012, AGY US cash balance and total debt, net of cash, were $0.6 million and $199.7 million, respectively. Compared to December 31, 2011, the $2.6 million increase in net debt was primarily attributable to $3.0 million in debt issuance costs and in restricted cash to provide collateral support for equipment leases in conjunction with the recent amendment of AGY US Amended Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2012, AGY US had total liquidity of approximately $18.7 million.

 

   

As of June 30, 2012, AGY Asia cash balance and total debt, net of cash were $2.6 million and $39.2 million, respectively, or a $2.0 million decrease compared to December 31, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, AGY Asia had total liquidity of approximately $2.6 million, consisting only of unrestricted cash as the AGY Asia lender terminated access to undrawn borrowing availability under the AGY Asia financing agreements. The lender agreed to amend the term loan amortization to defer the April 2012 $5.1 million required principal payment to October 2012, provided that substantial progress, as determined by the lender, on an AGY Asia refinancing, recapitalization or change in control transaction continues to be made by such date.

Other Highlights

 

   

As detailed recently in our reports on Form 8-K, in late July 2012, AGY US entered into an amended and restated master lease agreement (“the A&R Master Lease” ) with DB Energy Trading LLC, providing for leases of precious metals used in the operations of the continuous filament mat business and the glassfiber yarns business of AGY US. This amendment, among other things, extended the scheduled termination date of the agreement to May 31, 2013, increased rent margins and added subsidiary guarantees and a minimum quarterly Fully Adjusted EBITDA financial covenant, as defined in the agreement. Had the A&R Master Lease been in effect as of June 30, 2012, the Company would have been in compliance with this financial covenant as of June 30, 2012.

 

   

As detailed in the same report on Form 8-K, on the same date, AGY US also entered into a first amendment (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2012, among KAGY Holdings, AGY Holdings, the Guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as Administrative Agent (the “Loan Agreement”). The Amended Loan Agreement modified the Loan Agreement to, among other things, permit the A&R Master Lease, to require delivery of certain additional reports and to add the same minimum EBITDA financial covenant as defined in the A&R Master Lease. The Loan Agreement that was consummated in June 2012 provided a net $11.6 million increase in borrowing availability, calculated as of June 30, 2012, including the additional $6 million that became available in July 2012 concurrently with the extension of the A&R Master Lease.

 

   

AGY recently announced its decision to initiate a process to sell its CFM business, including the wound products and conductive roving business located in its Huntingdon Pennsylvania facilities. The re-alignment of its product portfolio will allow AGY to return to its core capabilities and focus on its specialty materials products.

As previously disclosed in April 2012, AGY retained an advisory firm to provide certain investment banking services to evaluate and assist with a possible combination of AGY Asia with another party, a recapitalization of a significant portion of AGY Asia’s indebtedness or a change of control of AGY Asia in a transaction involving the primary lender for the Asian operation. In connection with these potential transactions, several potential buyers have submitted non-binding offers and are currently conducting their due diligence analysis, before submitting their final offers, which are expected during the third quarter of 2012.

Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(Dollars in thousands)

The Company’s management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to measure operating performance.

The most directly comparable financial measure determined under GAAP is net income (loss), the calculation of which for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is set forth in Appendix B.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (which are defined below) are reconciled from net income (loss) determined under GAAP as follows:

EBITDA is generally defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure used by management to measure operating performance. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative (a) to net income as a measure of operating performance or (b) to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, capital expenditures and debt service requirements. Management believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. In addition, management believes that EBITDA provides more comparability between our historical results and our recent results that reflect purchase accounting and changes in our capital structure. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance and calculated in the same manner as “Consolidated Cash Flow” under the indenture governing our Notes, which is used by management in calculating our fixed charge coverage ratio under the indenture governing our Notes. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors.
