MOD-PAC CORP. Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
- Total revenue for the second quarter was relatively unchanged at $13.5 million; Custom folding carton sales were up 2.8% to $11.1 million as demand from new customer expands
- Second quarter gross margin lower due to sales and customer mix
BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 1, 2012--MOD-PAC CORP. (NASDAQ: MPAC), a high value-added, on-demand print services firm that designs and manufactures custom and stock folding cartons, reported total revenue of $13.5 million for the second quarter of 2012, which ended June 30, 2012, compared with $13.4 million for the second quarter of 2011. The 1.0% increase in product revenue reflected higher custom folding carton sales partially offset by lower graphic service charges, stock packaging sales and waste paperboard sales.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was $120 thousand, or ($0.04) per diluted share, compared with net income of $479 thousand, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011. Despite consistent sales, sales mix, combined with soft waste paperboard sales and higher employee benefit costs had an adverse effect on margins.
Daniel G. Keane, President and CEO, commented, “We had solid sales for the quarter, but our margins were impacted by sales mix and cost pressures. We are advancing our sales & marketing activities and are focused on growing our core custom folding carton business. We believe the second half of 2012 will improve as we continue to manage paperboard costs and anticipate more product demand from our customers.”
Second quarter 2012 product sales up 1.0%
- Sales of custom folding cartons were up 2.8% to $11.1 million in the 2012 second quarter from $10.8 million in the prior-year second quarter driven by the sales ramp-up of a new customer, increased business from several large customers, partially offset by decreased business from existing customers. A soft waste paperboard market also negatively impacted revenue.
- Stock packaging sales decreased 6.3%, or $104 thousand, to $1.5 million in the second quarter primarily as a result of timing related to the Easter holiday period.
- Personalized print sales, which comprised 5.5% of Product sales, were $734,000 in the second quarter of 2012.
Margins impacted by weaker sales mix
Gross profit for the 2012 second quarter was $1.8 million, or 13.2% of total revenue, compared with gross profit of $2.7 million, or 20.2% of total revenue, in the prior year period. Margin compression resulted primarily from weaker sales mix and higher employee benefit costs.
David B. Lupp, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, added, “We believe our targeted marketing efforts are winning new customers that over time, as we gain scale, will help to offset the sensitivity our financial results have to changes in sales mix. Our on time delivery rate in the quarter was 99.8%, which we believe makes us highly competitive as we prospect for incremental business.
We were very much impacted in the quarter by sales mix which includes our existing customer sales mix, decline in art & plates revenue and decreased waste sales. While paperboard costs have settled, we are continually working other avenues to lower our costs. Our objective is to continue to find efficiencies in our operations as we work to build the top line in order to leverage our fixed cost structure.”
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was unchanged at $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the prior year period. SG&A as a percent of total revenue improved to 14.1% for the 2012 second quarter, compared with 14.5% for the second quarter of 2011.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash option expense (EBITDA) was $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared with $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2011. The Company believes that, when used in conjunction with GAAP measures, EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, helps in the understanding of operating performance. (See the Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to EBITDA in the attached table.)
The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 was 24.5% and 35.4%, respectively. The lower rate reflects the additional state tax expense.
First half 2012 review
Total product revenue for the first half of 2012 was $27.1 million, unchanged from the first six months of 2011. Sales of custom folding cartons were $21.5 million in the first half of 2012, up 0.9% compared with $21.3 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to increased business from a new customer transferring its print requirements to MOD-PAC as well as shifting demand among existing customers. Stock packaging sales remained flat at $4.3 million in the first six months of 2012. Personalized print sales were down 9.9% to $1.3 million on continued weakness in this market.
Gross profit in the first six months of 2012 was $3.6 million, down 28.0% from the $4.9 million in the prior-year period. The gross profit margin contracted to 13.0% in the first half of 2012 from 18.1% in the corresponding 2011 period. Margins were impacted by sales mix, lower paperboard waste sales, lower art & plate revenue, benefit costs and higher paperboard costs.
SG&A expense was relatively unchanged at $3.8 million in the first half of 2012 and 13.9% of total revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2012 was $1.5 million, compared with $3.0 million in the prior-year period. (See the Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to Adjusted EBITDA in the attached table.)
Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents were $0.3 million at June 30, 2012, down from the 2011 year-end balance of $3.9 million. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2012 were $3.4 million compared with $0.9 million last year. The increase in capital spending was due to $1.7 million associated with the purchase of previously-owned, seven-color print press and approximately $0.7 million for infrastructure improvements needed to reconnect to the public utility electric power grid. MOD-PAC expects capital expenditures in 2012 will be between $5.0 million to $5.2 million.
There were no shares repurchased by the Company during the second quarter of 2012. MOD-PAC has authorization to repurchase up to 200,000 shares.
The Company has a $3.0 million secured line of credit of which $0.2 million was in use through a standby letter of credit and there was no balance drawn on the line at the end of the quarter.

EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and option expense. EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, MOD-PAC believes that providing non-GAAP information such as EBITDA is important for investors and other readers of MOD-PAC's financial statements, as it is used as an analytical indicator by MOD-PAC's management. Because EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
