MATERION CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS
AND REVISES OUTLOOK FOR 2015


MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio - July 30, 2015 - Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) today reported second quarter 2015 financial results.

▪
Second quarter 2015 GAAP earnings were $0.43 per share, diluted. This compares to second quarter 2014 GAAP earnings of $0.47 per share, diluted, and represents a 19% improvement over the second quarter 2014 adjusted earnings of $0.36 per share, diluted.

▪
Second quarter 2015 results reflect the fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year value-added sales and adjusted operating profit growth.

▪
Net sales for the second quarter of 2015 were $276.9 million. Value-added sales were $162.4 million, up 4% compared to value-added sales in the prior-year period, excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange rates.

▪
Operating profit for the second quarter 2015 was $12.8 million, an increase of 20% over the $10.7 million of adjusted operating profit recorded in the prior-year second quarter.

▪
Based on increasingly more volatile markets and slowing economic conditions, especially in China, the Company is revising its previously announced annual 2015 adjusted earnings forecast range to $1.65 to $1.85 per share from $1.80 to $2.00 per share, diluted.

SECOND QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Net sales for the second quarter were $276.9 million, compared to net sales of $288.0 million for the second quarter of 2014. Value-added sales grew 2% to $162.4 million compared to value-added sales of $159.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the negative year-over-year impact from foreign exchange rates, value-added sales grew 4% over the second quarter of 2014.

The growth in value-added sales in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period of last year was due primarily to stronger demand from customers in the defense, industrial components, automotive electronics and telecommunications infrastructure markets. New product value-added sales grew 44% over the prior year comparable period and represented 11% of total second quarter 2015 value-added sales.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $12.8 million, a 20% increase over the prior-year second quarter adjusted operating profit of $10.7 million. Adjusted operating profit margin, expressed as a percent of value-added sales, expanded by 120 basis points to 7.9% from the 2014 second quarter level. The margin improvement is a result of leveraging the higher sales volume and an improved product mix.


1


Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $8.9 million, or $0.43 per share, diluted. This compares to net income of $10.0 million, or $0.47 per share, diluted, for the second quarter of the prior year. Excluding the net insurance settlement benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2014, earnings were up 19% compared to the second quarter 2014 adjusted earnings of $0.36 per share, diluted.

For the first six months of 2015, net sales were $566.9 million compared to net sales of $546.9 million for the same period of last year. Value-added sales for the first six months of 2015 were $325.0 million, up 7% compared to $304.5 million for the same period last year. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange rates, first half 2015 value-added sales grew 9% over the first half of 2014. Year-to-date net income was $18.5 million as compared to $17.3 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Excluding special items in both periods, adjusted earnings grew 31% year over year, from $0.64 per share, diluted, in the first half of 2014, to $0.84 per share, diluted, in the first half of 2015.

CHAIRMAN’S COMMENTS
    
Richard J. Hipple, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am pleased with the quarter and our team’s ability to deliver the fifth consecutive quarter of meaningful year-over-year value-added sales and earnings growth. Our strategy of pursuing organic growth through new product introductions and solving our customers’ challenges with advanced materials is working. Despite our successes over the past several quarters, we are cautious about the current volatility in the global market, particularly the continued strength of the U.S. dollar, the greater than expected drop in oil and gas exploration, the recent slowdown in the telecommunications infrastructure 4G build out in China, and what the unknown impact may be of ongoing economic weakness in China. We are revising our annual earnings estimate to reflect these changing market and economic conditions. We remain committed to strategies to deliver greater than GDP organic value-added sales growth and margin expansion and remain confident in our long-term earnings growth outlook.”

BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING

Performance Alloys and Composites

Net sales for Performance Alloys and Composites in the second quarter of 2015 were $107.7 million compared to net sales of $109.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. Value-added sales were $91.5 million in the second quarter of 2015, up $1.6 million, or 2%, compared to $89.9 million in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, value-added sales increased 5% in the second quarter of 2015 over the prior-year period. Stronger value-added sales in the defense and industrial components end markets offset the declines in the energy and medical end markets.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $9.3 million, up 48% over the prior-year operating profit of $6.3 million. Expressed as a percentage of value-added sales, operating profit margins expanded 320 basis points over the prior year to 10.2% in the second quarter of 2015. The margin expansion was driven by successes with our value-added growth strategy, improved product mix and our lean six-sigma program.
    
Advanced Materials


2


Advanced Materials’ net sales for the second quarter of 2015 were $131.4 million, which compares to second quarter of 2014 net sales of $145.0 million. Value-added sales for the second quarter of 2015 were $46.7 million, up 4% compared to the second quarter 2014 value-added sales of $45.0 million. The improvement in the second quarter value-added sales compared to the same period last year was driven primarily by strength from customers serving the energy markets, particularly the solar market, the medical and telecommunications infrastructure end markets.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $7.4 million, up 4% over an adjusted operating profit of $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2014. Operating profit as a percent of value-added sales for the second quarter of 2015 was 15.8%, comparable to the prior-year period.

Other

The Other segment includes the operating results of the Precision Coatings group and unallocated corporate costs.

Within the Other segment, Precision Coatings’ net sales for the second quarter of 2015 were $38.3 million, which compares to net sales of $34.1 million for the second quarter of 2014. Value-added sales for the second quarter of 2015 were $25.2 million, compared to value-added sales of $24.9 million for the same period of 2014. Stronger sales to customers serving the medical and defense markets was offset in part by weaker demand in the consumer electronics end market, particularly the projector display market.     

Precision Coatings’ operating profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $0.6 million, or 2.4% of value-added sales, which is comparable to the second quarter of 2014 adjusted operating profit.

OUTLOOK

Despite the solid sales and earnings performance in the second quarter of 2015 and the solid five quarters of growth momentum we have delivered, global market and economic conditions are changing. China demand is clearly slowing, particularly in the telecommunications infrastructure 4G build out. Based on this change, coupled with the greater than previously expected drop-off in the oil and gas market and the continued strength of the U.S. dollar, the Company is revising its 2015 adjusted earnings forecast range to $1.65 to 1.85 per share. This represents a range that is flat to 12% above 2014 adjusted earnings of $1.65 per share, diluted.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium and copper is passed through to customers and therefore the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs and their costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales.

The Company’s pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company’s results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company’s intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals.

In addition to presenting financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains financial measures, including gross margin, operating profit, net income and earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis. As detailed in the above reconciliation, we have adjusted out the cost (benefit) impact of facility closure and reorganization costs, the net recovery from insurance and other litigation claims, and certain income tax items from the applicable GAAP measure. Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in order to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.
