“Congratulations to the team on our first quarter results. It is not just the strong Q1 adjusted EBITDA of $85.3 million, there were several key indicators behind the headlines. Specialty gross profit margins increased $167 per ton sequentially, to a level well above second half last year, and more in line with normal margin levels, we are also seeing volumes strengthening. Rubber gross profit margins of $435 per ton were well above last year’s average of $409 per ton. Prior to 2022, our Rubber gross profit margins typically ran in the $200 to $300 per ton range. These results clearly show that our key markets continue to restructure and this is the new normal from which we can build. In the first quarter alone, three new tire plants were announced in North America and Europe,” said Corning Painter, Orion’s chief executive officer. “Looking forward, we celebrated the groundbreaking for our acetylene-based conductive additives facility in La Porte, Texas which, when commissioned in 2025, will produce essential materials to support the global shift to electrification. We expect to deliver another year of growth in 2024, as well as meaningful progress towards our financial and operational goals,” said Mr. Painter.

Jeff Glajch, Orion’s chief financial officer added, “As Corning mentioned, we reported much improved sequential results. While year over year results were lower, please recall that we reported and discussed non-repeating favorable items in the first quarter of 2023. Our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio at the end of the first quarter stands at 2.44 times, within our stated range of 2.0 to 2.5 times. Looking forward, we will take a balanced approach to capital allocation, with a focus on continuing to invest in higher-return growth and operating improvements, returning cash to shareholders with share repurchase as well as further reduction of our debt.”

(1)	The reconciliations of Non-U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) measures to the respective most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the section titled Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Volume increased by 14.9 kmt, year over year primarily due to higher volume in both segments. Specialty volume recovery was across all regions and end markets.

Net sales increased by $2.2 million, or 0.4%, year over year, driven primarily by higher volume in both segments. Those were partially offset by the pass-through effect of declining oil prices in both segments and lower cogeneration price due to European electricity prices.

Gross profit decreased by $14.2 million, or 10.4%, to $122.2 million, year over year. The decrease was primarily driven by favorable timing items in the prior year, North American rubber volume, higher fixed costs and lower cogeneration pricing in Europe. Those were partially offset by higher volume in both segments.

Income from operations decreased by $20.7 million, or 28.2%, to $52.8 million, year over year. The decrease was primarily driven by favorable timing items in the prior year, North American rubber volume, higher fixed costs and lower cogeneration pricing in Europe. Those factors were partially offset by higher volume in both segments.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $15.8 million, or 15.6%, to $85.3 million, year over year, impacted by the same factors as income from operations.

Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 150 basis points to 17.3%.

Debt

As of March 31, 2024, the company’s net debt was $773.1 million, down $8 million from the end of 2023 and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 2.44 times.

Outlook

“We are reiterating our 2024 guidance for the year of an Adjusted EBITDA range of $340 million to $360 million, up over five percent at the midpoint, compared with 2023. We are also continuing to project full year 2024 Adjusted Diluted EPS of $2.05 per share to $2.20 per share, up over eleven percent at the midpoint. Free cash flow should be $45 million to $65 million this year. For planning purposes, we are assuming the current soft economic growth conditions continue throughout 2024,” Mr. Painter concluded.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP or the accounting standards of any other jurisdiction and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures, see section Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

These non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, Gross profit per metric ton, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Working Capital, Capital Expenditures, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin (in percentage), Net debt and Net leverage.

We define Gross profit per metric ton as Gross profit divided by volume measured in metric tons. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-recurring items (such as, restructuring expenses, legal settlement gain, etc.) plus Earnings in affiliated companies, net of tax. We definite Net Working Capital as Inventories, net plus Accounts receivable, net minus Accounts payable. We define Capital Expenditures as Cash paid for the acquisition of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin (in percentage) as Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenue. We define Net debt as Total debt per Consolidated Balance Sheets plus Deferred debt issuance cost - Term loans minus Cash and cash equivalents. We define Net leverage as Net debt divided by trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate our operating performance and to make decisions regarding allocation of capital, because it excludes the effects of items that have less bearing on the performance of our underlying core business. We use this measure, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing our business. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization, historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures and taxation positions or regimes, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful additional basis for evaluating and comparing the current performance of the underlying operations.

We believe our non-GAAP measures are useful measures of financial performance in addition to Net income, Income from operations and other profitability measures under GAAP, because they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. In addition, we believe these non-GAAP measures aid investors by providing additional insight into our operational performance and help clarify trends affecting our business.

Other companies and analysts may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, so making comparisons among companies on this basis should be done carefully. Non-GAAP measures are not performance measures under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for Net sales, Net income, Income from operations, Gross profit and other GAAP measures as an indicator of our operations in accordance with GAAP.

With respect to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS outlook for 2024, we are not able to reconcile the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the closest corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items. These items include, but are not limited to, significant legal settlements, tax and regulatory reserve changes, restructuring costs and acquisition and financing related impacts.
