DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – August 1, 2018 – Univar Inc. (NYSE: UNVR) (“Univar”), a global chemical and ingredients distributor and provider of value-added services, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Univar reported net income of $56.1 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to net income of $31.3 million, or $0.22 per share, in the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted earnings per share increased 17.5 percent to $0.47 per share from $0.40 per share in the prior year second quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA grew 9.2 percent to $173.1 million from $158.5 million in the second quarter last year and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 20 basis points to 7.3 percent reflecting higher gross margin, effective cost management and operating leverage.

Consolidated sales increased 5.6 percent while gross profit grew 7.3 percent to $500.5 million largely due to improvements in the Company's sales force effectiveness and favorable change in product and market mix. Gross profit grew across all segments.

“Our strategy is working, our global execution is improving,” said David Jukes, president and chief executive officer. "The investment in our sales force effectiveness is showing improved results across all of our regions during the second quarter and we continue to receive more product authorizations from our supplier partners, both of which position us well for future growth. We delivered strong growth in both the EMEA and Latin America regions, and the pace of our USA transformation continues to accelerate. Our entire company is energized to maintain our momentum as we enter the second half of the year."

"Disciplined cost management and productivity gains enabled us to lower our operating expenses as a percentage of sales in the second quarter, while making targeted investments in our business for growth,” added Carl Lukach, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Strong organizational focus on managing our cash flow allowed us to pay down additional debt and further strengthen our balance sheet."

Company Performance

The results of Univar's operating performance are described below and, unless otherwise indicated, are a comparison of second quarter 2018 results with second quarter 2017 results, including Adjusted EBITDA, which is reconciled to reported net income in the accompanying supplemental financial information.

Segment Highlights

USA – Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.9 percent to $97.2 million, the sixth consecutive quarter of growth, reflecting strong operating leverage. USA segment sales grew 10.0 percent as a result of improved sales force execution, chemical price inflation and higher volumes. Gross profit grew 5.5 percent on slightly lower margins, reflecting strong industrial demand in bulk commodity chemicals which resulted in a higher mix of bulk commodity chemical sales compared to last year.

Canada – Strong double digit growth in Industrial Chemicals Adjusted EBITDA was offset by soft agriculture demand due to weather impacts resulting in Adjusted EBITDA of $34.6 million. Gross margin increased 160 basis points to 15.3 percent while Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 30 basis points to 7.7 percent, reflecting strength in key growth markets such as coatings and personal care, and improving sales force execution in Industrial Chemicals.

EMEA – Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.3 percent to $40.1 million due to double digit growth in Focused Industries, favorable mix and improved sales force execution. Gross margin increased 50 basis points to 23.1 percent and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 40 basis points to 7.8 percent, driven by mix improvement and strong cost management.

Rest of World – Adjusted EBITDA grew $4.2 million, or 85.7 percent to $9.1 million driven by strong performance in both Brazil and Mexico along with increasing profitability in Asia Pacific. Higher margins and an improved geographical mix in Latin America, along with contributions from the Tagma acquisition, led to an increase in profitability. Gross margin increased 410 basis points to 22.6 percent and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 420 basis points to 9.1 percent.

Outlook

The Company continues to make progress against its strategic growth plan and 2021 financial targets. For the full year 2018, Univar remains on track to deliver low double digit growth in Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted earnings per share in the range of $1.65 and $1.85.

For the third quarter of 2018, Univar expects low double digit Adjusted EBITDA growth.

Univar to Host Webcast on August 1, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. EDT

The Company will host a webcast with investors to discuss the second quarter results at 9:00 a.m. ET on August 1, 2018, which can be accessed on the Investor Relations section of its website at http://investor.univar.com. Following the event, an archived version of the webcast and supporting materials will be available on the same website.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted earnings per share

The Company monitors the results of its operating segments separately for the purposes of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. The Company evaluates performance on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA, which it defines as its consolidated net income (loss), plus the sum of interest expense, net of interest income, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization, other operating expenses, net (which primarily consists of employee stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, other employee termination costs, business optimization, acquisition and integration related expenses, and other unusual or non-recurring expenses), loss on extinguishment of debt and other (expense) income, net (which consists of gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and undesignated derivative instruments, debt amendment costs, non-operating retirement benefits, and other non-operating activity). Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA conversion ratio is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Gross Profit. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of operating performance because:


•	The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA to its lenders as required under the covenants of its credit agreements;


•	The Company considers gains (losses) on the acquisition, disposal and impairment of assets as resulting from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations;


•	Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization expenses and therefore more closely measures our operational performance;


•	The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets in order to align performance measurement with operational performance; and


•	Other significant items, while periodically affecting the Company’s results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of its results.

The Company has incorporated an Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share metric as a complementary metric to GAAP earnings per share to provide additional transparency to ongoing performance. Adjusted net income excludes the same items as Adjusted EBITDA, except for stock-based compensation expense and non-operating retirement benefits.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company’s management believes that certain financial measures that do not comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) provide relevant and meaningful information concerning the ongoing operating results of the Company. Such non-GAAP financial measures are used from time to time herein but should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures of performance. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP are provided in Schedules A and D.

(1)	Calculation based on dilutive share count.


(2)	The quarter-to-date period is calculated so the sum of quarterly amounts equals the year-to-date period. Immaterial differences may exist due to rounding.


(3)	Reconciling items represent items disclosed in Schedule B and Schedule C included in this document, excluding stock-based compensation and non-operating retirement benefits.


(4)	Total benefit from income taxes reconciles to the amount reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for each respective period. Tax on reconciling items is calculated using the effective tax rate adjusted for significant non-recurring tax items.


(5)	Includes the non-operating retirement benefit items currently disclosed in Schedule C. These items were previously reported in warehouse, selling and administrative (operating expenses) that have moved to other income (expense), net as part of the adoption of the FASB retirement benefits accounting pronouncement.

(6)

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using net income (loss) or adjusted net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding during each period, which includes unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potential dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.
