TMS International Corp. Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

PITTSBURGH, PA, May 3, 2012 – TMS International Corp. (NYSE: TMS), the parent company of Tube City IMS Corporation, a leading provider of outsourced industrial services to steel mills globally, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

2012 First Quarter Highlights

 

   

Total revenue for the first quarter was $747.0 million, a 13% increase compared to $664.0 million in the first quarter of 2011.

 

   

Revenue After Raw Materials Costs1 in the quarter was $155.9 million, a 15% increase compared to $135.2 million in the first quarter of 2011.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the quarter was $36.8 million2, a 6% increase compared to $34.6 million in the first quarter of 2011.

 

   

Entered into a new seven-year $300 million senior secured term loan which the company expects will result in approximately $8.4 million of annual cash interest savings.

 

   

Won two new mill services contracts in the United States and Mexico totaling more than $179 million of cumulative total revenue over the life of the contracts at expected production levels.

2012 First Quarter Financial Results

Total Revenue for the first quarter was $747.0 million, an increase of 13% compared to $664.0 million for the same prior year quarter. Revenue After Raw Materials Costs, the company’s measurement of sales performance, was $155.9 million, an increase of 15% compared to $135.2 million in the first quarter of 2011.

“Revenue After Raw Materials Costs,” “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Discretionary Cash Flow” are non-GAAP financial measurements we believe are useful in measuring our operating performance. Descriptions and reconciliations of these measurements to GAAP are provided below.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2012 was $36.8 million2 compared to $34.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 6%. Net income attributable to common stock was $0.4 million for the first quarter, an increase of 28% compared to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.01 for the quarter. Excluding $12.3 million of debt extinguishment costs relating to the company’s refinancing, net income attributable to common stock would have been $8.4 million and earnings per share for the quarter would have been $0.22.

The company’s Adjusted EBITDA Margin3 for the first quarter of 2012 was 23.6% compared to 25.6% in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease was largely due to start-up costs incurred at sites where TMS has recently won new contracts.

Discretionary Cash Flow1,4, which the company uses to measure operating cash flow generation, was $29.0 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with $27.3 million in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 6%.

Joseph Curtin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of TMS International Corp., said with respect to the company’s first quarter 2012 results, “Despite the continued challenging global economic environment, TMS International delivered solid financial results. We continue to build on our market-leading positions by aggressively pursuing new contracts, expanding our global raw materials brokerage network, cross-selling our services and providing outstanding service to our customers.”

Outlook

The company reaffirmed its previous 2012 Adjusted EBITDA guidance in a range of $142 million to $148 million, representing a year-over-year growth rate of 6% to 10%.

DESCRIPTION AND GAAP RECONCILIATIONS OF

CERTAIN FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

Revenue After Raw Materials Costs

We measure our sales volume on the basis of Revenue After Raw Materials Costs, which we define as Total Revenue minus Cost of Raw Materials Shipments. Revenue After Raw Materials Costs is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP, but we believe it is useful in measuring our operating performance because it excludes the fluctuations in the market prices of the raw materials we procure for and sell to our customers. We subtract the Cost of Raw Materials Shipments from Total Revenue because market prices of the raw materials we procure for and generally concurrently sell to our customers are offset on our statement of operations. Further, in our raw materials procurement business, we generally engage in two alternative types of transactions that require different accounting treatments for Total Revenue. In the first type, we take no title to the materials being procured and we record only our commission as revenue; in the second type, we take title to the materials and sell it to a buyer, typically in a transaction where a buyer and seller are matched. By subtracting the Cost of Raw Materials Shipments, we isolate the margin that we make on our raw materials procurement and logistics services, and we are better able to evaluate our operating performance in terms of the volume of raw materials we procure for our customers and the margin we generate.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP, but we believe it is useful in measuring our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used internally to determine our incentive compensation levels, including under our management bonus plan, and it is required, with some additional adjustments, in certain covenant compliance calculations under our senior secured credit facilities. We also use Adjusted EBITDA to benchmark the performance of our business against expected results, to analyze year-over-year trends and to compare our operating performance to that of our competitors. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure because it excludes the impact of tax provisions and Depreciation and Amortization, which are difficult to compare across periods due to the impact of accounting for business combinations and the impact of tax net operating losses on cash taxes paid. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure of our operating segments in accordance with ASC Topic 280, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances our investors’ overall understanding of the financial performance of and prospects for our business.

Discretionary Cash Flow

Discretionary Cash Flow is calculated as our Adjusted EBITDA minus our Maintenance Capital Expenditures. We believe Discretionary Cash Flow is useful in measuring our liquidity. Discretionary Cash Flow is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry. Discretionary Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):
