Calgon Carbon Announces Fourth Quarter and 2013 Results

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 19, 2014--Calgon Carbon Corporation (NYSE: CCC) announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013.

Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $15.8 million versus $14.7 million for the comparable period in 2012, reflecting the Company’s comprehensive profit improvement program. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $11.0 million or $0.20 per common share on a fully diluted basis, versus $9.1 million, or $0.16 per common share on a fully diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $133.1 million, as compared to sales of $141.8 million, a 6.1% decrease primarily driven by lower sales of activated carbon in Asia, including Japan, and lower demand for mercury removal carbon in the U.S. This is discussed below in the Activated Carbon and Service segment. Currency translation had a $1.6 million negative impact on sales for the fourth quarter due to the stronger U.S. dollar.

For the fourth quarter of 2013, sales for the Company’s Activated Carbon and Service segment were $116.3 million versus $127.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, an 8.6% decrease. Lower demand for granular activated carbon (GAC) for drinking water in Asia; earlier than expected deliveries of GAC in Japan; and lower pricing for powdered activated carbon for mercury removal were partially offset by increased demand for activated carbon products and services in the environmental water treatment market.

Equipment sales increased by 12.4% in the fourth quarter of 2013 versus the comparable quarter of 2012, principally due to higher revenue from carbon adsorption equipment.

For the fourth quarter of 2013, Consumer segment sales decreased $0.7 million, or 25.1%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.

Net sales less the cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 34.3%, versus 31.2% for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase was attributable to improved virgin carbon manufacturing plant maintenance costs and performance, as well as a favorable product mix in the fourth quarter of 2013. Higher pricing on certain activated carbon products and services also contributed to the increase.

Selling, administrative and research expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $22.2 million versus $20.5 million for the comparable period of 2012. The 8.4% increase was primarily the result of higher employee-related expenses.

Results for the fourth quarter of 2012 included restructuring charges of $2.3 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2013 the Company initiated an open market stock repurchase program that concluded on February 12, 2014. Under this program the Company purchased 928,700 shares of Calgon Carbon stock at an average price of $20.39.

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013, were $547.9 million, a 2.5% decrease over the comparable period in 2012, principally due to lower revenue recognition on ballast water treatment systems and lower sales of activated carbon for mercury removal. In addition, foreign currency translation had an $11.6 million negative impact on sales due to the stronger U.S. dollar.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company reported income from operations of $68.9 million versus $39.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $45.7 million versus $23.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Results for the year ended December 2012 included a $10.2 million restructuring charge. Earnings per common share on a fully diluted basis were $0.84 for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $0.41 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Commenting on the results, Randy Dearth, Calgon Carbon’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am pleased with our accomplishments in the fourth quarter as they represent continuing progress in our efforts to grow shareholder value. We achieved significant improvement in profitability despite a challenging sales environment in certain markets and the negative impact of a strong U.S. dollar. We also utilized our balance sheet to increase value by conducting an open market share repurchase program. In addition, our Board approved $85 million for 2014 capital spending that should increase carbon production capacity and reduce costs.

“Going forward we intend to build on this success. We will continue our cost improvement initiatives as we prepare to capitalize on opportunities for top-line growth from environmental regulations for mercury removal from coal-fired power plants and for ballast water treatment.”
