FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Momentive Performance Materials Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2013 Results
WATERFORD, N.Y., (August 13, 2013) - Momentive Performance Materials Inc. (“Momentive Performance Materials” or the “Company”) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013. Results for the second quarter of 2013 include:
• | Net sales of $610 million compared to $627 million in the prior year period. |
• | Operating income of $10 million versus operating loss of $(24) million in the prior year period. Second quarter 2013 operating income improved versus second quarter 2012 due to improved gross margins, a $19 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, and a $11 million decrease in restructuring and other costs. |
• | Net loss of $(70) million compared to a net loss of $(88) million in the prior year period, which reflected the improved operating income partially offset by a $15 million increase in interest costs. |
• | Segment EBITDA of $63 million compared to $65 million in the prior year period. Segment EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined and reconciled to net loss later in this release. |
“Our results continue to reflect the slower-growth environment and global economic volatility we continue to experience,” said Craig O. Morrison, Chairman, President and CEO. “Second quarter 2013 Segment EBITDA also reflected $6 million in unplanned manufacturing issues. Second quarter 2013 silicones Segment EBITDA totaled $63 million compared to $59 million in the prior year period, a 7 percent increase, reflecting pricing actions, mix shift and our cost reduction initiatives. In addition, although our quartz business continued to reflect softer demand due to cyclicality in the second quarter of 2013, we remain the global leader in this attractive product line.”
“We also continue to aggressively focus on our cost reduction initiatives and anticipate fully realizing $15 million of total pro forma savings that are remaining from the Shared Services Agreement and the incremental restructuring actions over the next 15 months. The second quarter of 2013 also saw us continue our strategic global growth initiatives, including expansions at our Leverkusen, Germany, site and our technology center in Seoul, Korea, which will strengthen our long term market position in electronics.”
“Looking ahead, we are taking all necessary actions to drive improvement in our results during the second half of 2013. We are projecting that our silicones and quartz businesses will continue to gradually recover in the second half of 2013.”
Business Results
Following are net sales and Segment EBITDA by business for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Segment EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash and certain other income and expenses. Segment EBITDA is an important measure used by the Company's senior management and board of directors to evaluate operating results and allocate capital resources among businesses. Other primarily represents certain general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to the businesses. (Note: Segment EBITDA is defined and reconciled to net loss later in this release).

Refinancing Activities
In April 2013, the Company entered into two new secured revolving credit facilities: a $270 million asset-based revolving loan facility, which is subject to a borrowing base (the “ABL Facility”), and a $75 million revolving credit facility, which supplements the ABL Facility and is available subject to a utilization test based on borrowing availability under the ABL Facility (the “Cash Flow Facility”). The ABL Facility and Cash Flow Facility replaced the Company's prior senior secured credit facility.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $3.1 billion of long-term debt unchanged from December 31, 2012. In addition, at June 30, 2013, the Company had $324 million in liquidity, including $118 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (of which $104 million is maintained in foreign jurisdictions) and $206 million of borrowings available under its secured revolving credit facilities (without triggering the financial maintenance covenant under the ABL Facility).
On June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreements governing its secured revolving credit facilities and under the indentures governing the notes. Based on the Company's current assessment of its operating plan and the general economic outlook, the Company believes that its cash flow from operations and available cash and cash equivalents, including available borrowings under its new secured revolving credit facilities, will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

Covenants under our Secured Credit Facilities and the Notes
The instruments that govern the Company's indebtedness contain, among other provisions, restrictive covenants (and incurrence tests in certain cases) regarding indebtedness, dividends and distributions, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, affiliate transactions, capital expenditures and the maintenance of certain financial ratios (depending on certain conditions). Payment of borrowings under the Company's secured revolving credit facilities and notes may be accelerated if there is an event of default as determined under the governing debt instrument. Events of default under the credit agreements governing the secured revolving credit facilities include the failure to pay principal and interest when due, a material breach of a representation or warranty, most covenant defaults, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. Events of default under the indentures governing the notes include the failure to pay principal and interest, a failure to comply with covenants, subject to a 30-day grace period in certain instances, and certain events of bankruptcy.
The ABL Facility does not have any financial maintenance covenants other than a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 that would only apply if the Company's availability under the ABL Facility at any time is less than the greater of (a) 12.5% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the total ABL Facility commitments at such time and (b) $27 million. The fixed charge coverage ratio under the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility is generally defined as the ratio of (a) Adjusted EBITDA minus non-financed capital expenditures and cash taxes to (b) debt service plus cash interest expense plus certain restricted payments, each measured on a LTM basis. The Company does not currently meet such minimum ratio, and therefore the Company does not expect to allow availability under the ABL Facility to fall below such levels.
In addition, the financial maintenance covenant in the credit agreement governing the Cash Flow Facility provides that beginning in the third quarter of 2014, the first full quarter following the one year anniversary of our entry into the Cash Flow Facility, at any time that loans are outstanding under the facility, the Company will be required to maintain a specified net first-lien indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, referred to as the “Senior Secured Leverage Ratio.” Specifically, the ratio of our “Total Senior Secured Net Debt” (as defined in the credit agreement) to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA (as adjusted per the credit agreement) may not exceed 5.25 to 1 as of the last day of the applicable quarter (beginning with the last day of the third quarter of 2014). Although the Company was not required to meet such ratio requirement, as of June 30, 2013, the Company had a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of 4.39 to 1 under the Cash Flow Facility.
In addition to the financial maintenance covenants described above, the Company is also subject to certain incurrence tests under the credit agreements governing the secured revolving credit facilities and the indentures governing the notes that restrict the Company's ability to take certain actions if the Company is unable to meet specified ratios. For instance, the indentures governing the notes contain an incurrence test that restricts the Company's ability to incur indebtedness or make investments, among other actions, if the Company does not maintain an Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio (measured on a LTM basis) of at least 2.00 to 1.00. The Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio under the indentures is generally defined as the ratio of (a) Adjusted EBITDA to (b) net interest expense excluding the amortization or write-off of deferred financing costs, each measured on a LTM basis. The restrictions on the Company's ability to incur indebtedness or make investments under the indentures that apply as a result, however, are subject to exceptions, including exceptions that permit indebtedness under the secured revolving credit facilities. Based on its forecast, the Company believes that its cash flow from operations and available cash and cash equivalents, including
available borrowing capacity under the secured revolving credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund operations and pay liabilities as they come due in the normal course of business for at least the next 12 months.
On June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreements governing our secured revolving credit facilities and under the indentures governing the notes.
Reconciliation of Financial Measures that Supplement U.S. GAAP
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash and certain non-recurring items and other adjustments calculated on a pro-forma basis, including the expected future cost savings from business optimization or other programs and the expected future impact of acquisitions, in each case as determined under the governing debt instrument. As the Company is highly leveraged, the Company believes that including the supplemental adjustments that are made to calculate Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors about the Company's ability to comply with its financial covenants and to obtain additional debt in the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined term under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition, liquidity or profitability, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on the Company's indebtedness, depreciation and amortization expense (because the Company uses capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of the Company's costs and ability to generate revenue), working capital needs, tax payments (because the payment of taxes is part of the Company's operations, it is a necessary element of the Company's costs and ability to operate), non-recurring expenses and capital expenditures. Fixed Charges under the indentures should not be considered as an alternative to interest expense.
The following table reconciles net loss attributable to Momentive Performance Materials Inc. to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (as calculated under our credit agreements and as substantially calculated under the indentures) for the period presented:
