NORTHBROOK, Ill., Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- KapStone Paper and Packaging Corporation (NYSE: KS) today reported preliminary results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.

As compared to 2015's fourth quarter, results for 2016's fourth quarter:

  • Net sales of $777 million, up $13 million, or 2 percent
  • Net income of $18 million, up $7 million, or 55 percent
  • Diluted EPS of $0.19, up $0.07 per share, or 58 percent

Non U.S. GAAP financial measures for 2016's fourth quarter as compared to 2015's fourth quarter:

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $92 million, up $10 million, or 13 percent
  • Adjusted net income of $23 million, up $7 million, or 43 percent
  • Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.24, up $0.07 per share, or 41 percent

As compared to the year ended December 31, 2015, results for the year ended December 31, 2016:

  • Net sales of $3,077 million, up $288 million, or 10 percent
  • Net income of $86 million, down $20 million, or 19 percent
  • Diluted EPS of $0.88, down $0.21 per share, or 19 percent

Non U.S. GAAP financial measures for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to 2015's year: 

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $384 million, down $20 million, or 5 percent
  • Adjusted net income of $107 million, down $30 million, or 22 percent
  • Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.10, down $0.31 per share, or 22 percent

Matthew Kaplan, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "During 2016, we made substantial progress in our initiatives to improve productivity and reduce costs.  These efforts helped to mitigate the negative impact of eroding pricing and a less favorable product mix.

"We've made good progress towards our goal to increase integration.  We achieved our goals at Victory while making several investments / acquisitions, the most recent being the purchase of Associated Packaging, Inc. on February 1, 2017, that will further increase integration levels. 

"Operating cash flow continues to be strong as we generated $282 million during 2016, up $20 million compared to 2015."

Randy Nebel, recently appointed Executive Vice President of KapStone's Integrated Packaging System, stated,  "2016 operating performance reflected a record production year for the Company's Longview and Roanoke Rapids mills, while progress continues on improving reliability and quality at our other mills. In addition, with the recent capital investments made at corrugated products plants, we expect that efficiency will be improved in 2017. In addition, in the fourth quarter we implemented a $40 per ton containerboard price increase and began raising prices for corrugated products.  Also, demand was stronger in a quarter when we normally see lower volumes.  Our results were negatively impacted by the impact of Hurricane Matthew which reduced pre-tax earnings by about $6 million."

Fourth Quarter Operating Highlights

Consolidated net sales of $777 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 were $13 million higher than 2015, reflecting  higher volumes in the paper and packaging segment as 724,000 tons of paper were shipped during the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 658,000 tons a year earlier. The Company's average mill selling price of $617 per ton in the fourth quarter of 2016 was lower by $29 per ton compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the combined impact of lower export and domestic containerboard selling prices and lower export kraft paper prices.  Average mill selling prices decreased $9 per ton from the third quarter of 2016, reflecting seasonal mix, partially offset by the impact from the October $40 per ton containerboard price increase. Distribution segment sales declined by $5 million due to lower volume and prices when compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.

Operating income of $38 million for the 2016 fourth quarter increased by $9 million, or 30 percent, compared to the 2015 fourth quarter. Financial performance in the current quarter improved mainly due to higher sales volumes, lower planned maintenance costs, lower compensation and benefit costs and a reduction in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the Victory Packaging acquisition. These factors were partially offset by lower selling prices, the impact of Hurricane Matthew and a non-cash charge for withdrawing from a multiemployer pension plan.

Interest expense was $10 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, up $1 million from a year ago, as a result of higher interest rates. At December 31, 2016, the average interest rate on our debt was 2.1 percent compared to 2.0 percent at the end of 2015.

The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 32.6 percent compared to 34.6 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Full Year Operating Highlights

Consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2016, were $3,077 million, an increase of 10 percent, compared to 2015 sales of $2,789 million.  The increase was due to twelve months of Victory Packaging results in 2016 compared to seven months in 2015, partially offset by lower selling prices and a less favorable product mix.

Operating income of $171 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 was lower than 2015's $199 million by 14%.  The decrease was due to lower selling prices, a less favorable product mix, higher depreciation charges, the impact of Hurricane Matthew and a non-cash charge for withdrawing from a multiemployer pension plan. These factors were partially offset by twelve months of operating results for Victory Packaging and related synergies with KapStone's mill and plant system, the cost associated with the 2015 Longview mill work stoppage, lower incentive compensation due to lower earnings and lower benefit costs.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $40 million, up $6 million from a year ago, mainly due to the full-year effect of borrowings relating to the Victory Packaging acquisition. Also, interest rates were higher in 2016 compared to 2015. The average interest rate was about 2.1 percent for 2016 compared to 1.9 percent for 2015.  Loss on debt extinguishment totaled $0.7 million in 2016 compared to $1.2 million in 2015, reflecting lower voluntary debt prepayments in 2016.

The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 32.7 percent compared to 34.2 percent for 2015.    

Cash Flow and Working Capital

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $20 million during the current quarter to $29 million at December 31, 2016. The Company generated $70 million of net cash from operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2016. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter were $28 million. The Company paid $10 million of dividends and reduced borrowings by $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. 

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $23 million during 2016 compared to December 31, 2015, reflecting cash provided by operating activities of $282 million, cash used for capital expenditures of $127 million and $27 million of strategic investments mainly to increase mill integration. Cash used by financing activities totaled $108 million reflecting $39 million of cash dividends paid to shareholders and a $65 million debt prepayment.   

At December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $428 million of working capital and $483 million of revolver borrowing capacity. 

Conclusion

In summary, Kaplan commented, "Our selling prices are increasing and we are generating more cash flow.   We have implemented the October containerboard price increase based on contractual agreements.  We anticipate improved performance in 2017."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted Net Income", and "Adjusted Diluted EPS" to measure our operating performance. Management uses these measures to focus on the on-going operations, and believes it is useful to investors because they enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors because they improve the comparability of the financial results between periods and provide for greater transparency to key measures used to evaluate the performance of the Company. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for evaluating the Company's performance against competitors and as a primary measure for employees' incentive programs. Reconciliations of Net Income to EBITDA, EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA, Net Income to Adjusted Net Income, and Diluted EPS to Adjusted Diluted EPS are included in the financial schedules contained in this press release. However, these measures should not be construed as an alternative to any other measure of performance determined in accordance with GAAP.
