PRESS RELEASE


OM GROUP ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Debt-free balance sheet; Strong cash flows; Higher cost-reduction benefits

CLEVELAND - November 1, 2013 - OM Group, Inc. (NYSE: OMG) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company reported adjusted EBITDA of $32 million, excluding $2 million of charges related to cost-reduction initiatives and the results of its divested Advanced Materials cobalt business. The Company also reported income from continuing operations of $0.39 per diluted share, or $0.47 per diluted share excluding the special charges and the divested business. The Company achieved $6 million of cost savings in the quarter, and cash flows from operating activities of $36 million.

"Our third quarter performance highlights our ability to deliver solid results despite continued soft economic conditions in many of our key markets,” said Joe Scaminace, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OM Group, Inc. “Our portfolio of value-added businesses is more predictable, and we have more levers we can pull to create value. Throughout this year, we have developed and executed cost-reduction initiatives to improve productivity and increase profits, returns and cash flow.”

The Company ended the quarter with $116 million of cash and no debt outstanding. There were no borrowings under the Company's new $350 million revolving credit facility at September 30, 2013.

Third quarter 2013 sales were $266 million. Excluding the Advanced Materials business and the effects of rare earth pricing in the Magnetic Technologies business, net sales were $244 million, up 2% quarter-over-quarter versus the comparable figure a year ago that included a $26 million higher rare earth pass-through pricing effect. Excluding the rare earth pricing effects, Magnetic Technologies sales were higher due to the stronger Euro in the current year period and increased volumes. As expected, sales in Battery Technologies were lower due to timing after record sales levels in the first half of 2013. Specialty Chemicals sales were slightly higher due primarily to stronger sales volumes in electronic chemicals, driven by increased demand for consumer electronics.






At the beginning of the year, the Company announced a broad range of cost-reduction initiatives to improve financial performance and optimize its cost structure. These initiatives are now expected to contribute $15-20 million of savings in 2013, and will better position the Company for expanded profitability as macroeconomic conditions improve. Through the first nine months of 2013, the Company realized savings of $11 million and incurred charges of $8 million related to these initiatives, with $6 million of savings and $2 million of charges in the third quarter.

The Company continues to expect 2013 adjusted EBITDA levels at the lower end of its original forecast of $120-140 million, primarily due to the second quarter divestiture of its UPC product lines, which were expected to contribute approximately $10 million of EBITDA in 2013. The divestiture resulted in the business being treated as a discontinued operation for the full year. The Company's forecast excludes Advanced Materials, UPC and charges related to divestitures and cost-reduction initiatives.

Mr. Scaminace concluded, “With a strong, debt-free balance sheet and new credit agreement in place, we are well-positioned to execute our strategy of organic and strategic growth. We remain focused on operating execution and cost reductions to deliver higher profits, while continuing to pursue synergistic acquisitions to build out our business platforms. We are confident in our ability to deliver growth, increasing margins and higher returns for our shareholders.”

In order to assist readers of our financial statements in understanding the operating results that the Company's management uses to evaluate the business, we are providing adjusted operating profit and adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company's management believes that these are important metrics in evaluating the performance of the Company's business, providing a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating results and isolating the impact of certain items on our results. The table above presents a reconciliation of the Company's U.S. GAAP operating profit - as reported to adjusted operating profit and adjusted EBITDA. The non-U.S. GAAP financial information set forth in the table above should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(a) For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, because the reported loss from continuing operations is income on an adjusted basis, we used diluted shares to calculate EPS.





In order to assist readers of our financial statements in understanding the operating results that the Company's management uses to evaluate the business, we are providing adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders and adjusted earnings per common share attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders - assuming dilution, both of which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. We are also providing the amounts as pro forma adjusted to exclude the results of the divested Advanced Materials business. The Company's management believes that these are important metrics in evaluating the performance of the Company's business, providing a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating results and isolating the impact of certain items on our results. The table above presents a reconciliation of the Company's U.S. GAAP income from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders - as reported to adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders and earnings per common share attributable to OM Group, Inc. common stockholders - assuming dilution, adjusted for both special items as identified in the table and to exclude the results of the divested Advanced Materials business. The non-U.S. GAAP financial information set forth in the table above should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
