Sales of $449 Million

Debt Repayment of $32 Million; Share Repurchases of $11 Million
Restructuring Program On Track to Deliver $12 Million of Annualized Savings
Signed PCC Agreement with a European Papermaker to Support Premium Packaging Application
NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) (“MTI” or “the Company”) today reported diluted earnings per share of $1.06, excluding special items, for the third quarter ended September 29, 2019. Reported diluted earnings per share were $1.08.
Worldwide net sales were $449.3 million. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of 1 percentage point of growth. Operating income was $53.5 million and represented 11.9 percent of sales. Operating income excluding special items was $59.1 million and represented 13.2 percent of sales.
“We delivered a solid third quarter highlighted by strong execution on a number of fronts – cost control, productivity improvements and progress on our restructuring initiatives – despite continued weakness in some of the markets we serve,” said Douglas T. Dietrich, Chief Executive Officer. “We captured opportunities to improve efficiencies across our operations, adjusted our costs to the current market environment, and continued to drive strong operating cash flow.”
Mr. Dietrich continued, “We also executed on several strategic initiatives, highlighted by a new PCC agreement for a premium packaging application, volume growth in Asia through continued Paper PCC and Metalcasting penetration, and sales and margin improvement in Environmental Products and Pet Care.”
Segment Information
Performance Materials and Specialty Minerals Sales in the Minerals businesses, which include the Performance Materials and Specialty Minerals segments, were $350.4 million. Operating income for the Minerals businesses was $48.6 million and represented 13.9 percent of sales.
Performance Materials segment sales decreased 6 percent to $207.3 million.
Metalcasting sales decreased 11 percent primarily due to weaker demand in automotive, heavy truck and agricultural equipment in the U.S. and parts of Asia; however, Metalcasting sales increased in China and Thailand, reflecting continued market penetration. Household, Personal Care & Specialty Products declined 3 percent, as growth in our pet litter products globally was offset by lower sales in fabric care, personal care and specialty products. Environmental Products sales increased 3 percent driven by higher volumes of our geosynthetic clay liners and specialty liners, including our higher value RESISTEX® products. Building Materials sales decreased 5 percent primarily due to lower North American construction activity.
Operating income for the segment was $26.9 million and represented 13.0 percent of sales. Operating income and margins were affected by the lower Metalcasting sales and overall product mix.
The Performance Materials segment provides a wide range of bentonite-based and synthetic materials for industrial and consumer markets and for non-residential construction, environmental remediation and infrastructure projects worldwide.
Specialty Minerals segment sales, which consist of the Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) and Processed Minerals product lines, decreased 2 percent to $143.1 million.
Worldwide sales of PCC, which is used mainly in the manufacturing processes of the paper industry, decreased 2 percent to $107.9 million largely due to previously announced customer paper machine shutdowns in North America, including the closure of a U.S. paper mill in the first quarter of 2019. Paper PCC sales in Asia grew 11 percent, driven by the ramp up of a new satellite and capacity additions. Specialty PCC products increased 5 percent, primarily due to demand-driven expansions.
Processed Minerals sales decreased 3 percent to $35.2 million, primarily due to lower sales into the automotive and construction markets. Processed Minerals products are used in the building materials, polymers, ceramics, consumer products, paints and coatings, glass and other manufacturing industries.
Segment operating income was $21.7 million and represented 15.2 percent of sales. The decrease in operating income was driven by the paper mill shutdowns in North America and lower volumes in Europe, which was partially offset by higher pricing.
Refractories and Energy Services Sales in the Service businesses, which include the Refractories and Energy Services segments, increased 1 percent to $98.9 million. Operating income for the Service businesses was $12.2 million and represented 12.3 percent of sales.
Refractories segment sales decreased 7 percent to $73.4 million, primarily due to lower sales in Europe and North America. The Refractories segment operating income was $10.2 million and represented 13.9 percent of sales. The Refractories segment provides products and services primarily to the worldwide steel industry.
Energy Services segment sales rose 33 percent to $25.5 million, primarily driven by higher well testing and filtration activity in the Gulf of Mexico and increased equipment sales and filtration activity in the Asia Pacific region. Operating income increased to $2.0 million and represented 7.8 percent of sales. Energy Services offers a range of patented technologies, products and services for off-shore filtration and well testing to the worldwide oil and gas industry.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items, for the quarterly periods ended September 29, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, and the nine month periods ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and a reconciliation to reported earnings per share for such periods. The Company's management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures. The following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended September 29, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and the nine month periods ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods. The Company's management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends and fund future business opportunities. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure. The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP operating income, excluding special items (acquisition-related transaction costs set forth in the above table), for the quarterly periods ended September 29, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, and the nine month periods ended September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018 constituting a reconciliation to GAAP operating income set forth above. The Company's management believe these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.
