DMC Global Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third quarter sales were $67.2 million, up 3% sequentially versus the second quarter, and up 22% versus the third quarter of 2020. DynaEnergetics, DMC’s energy products business, reported a 19% sequential increase in unit sales of its fully integrated and factory-assembled DS perforating systems in North America. The increase outpaced the 6% sequential increase in U.S. onshore well completions, as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Higher DS unit sales were partially offset by supply chain bottlenecks and travel restrictions that impacted certain international orders at both DynaEnergetics and NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business.

Third quarter gross margin was 25% versus 26% in the 2021 second quarter and 25% in last year's third quarter. This year’s third quarter gross margin includes the effects of Employee Retention Credits related to the CARES Act, while last year’s third quarter benefitted from higher-margin international sales at DynaEnergetics that were $4.6 million greater than this year’s third quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) was $15.3 million, up from $14.0 million in the second quarter and $11.6 million in the year-ago third quarter. SG&A in this year’s third quarter included $2.3 million in litigation expense related to several patent infringement cases in which DynaEnergetics is the plaintiff. Litigation expense was $1.2 million in this year’s second quarter and $521,000 in the third quarter a year ago.

Third quarter operating income was $1.1 million versus $1.5 million in last year's third quarter. Net income was $403,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, versus net income of $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in last year’s third quarter.

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $5.8 million versus $7.5 million in the 2021 second quarter, and $6.0 million in the 2020 third quarter.

DMC ended the third quarter with cash and marketable securities of $182.0 million, up from $181.3 million at the end of the second quarter, and $53.9 million at December 31, 2020. During this year’s second quarter, the Company raised net proceeds of $123.5 million through a registered public equity offering.   

DynaEnergetics Third quarter sales at DynaEnergetics were $44.2 million, up 5% sequentially and 29% from the 2020 third quarter. Gross margin was 22%, down from 25% in the second quarter of 2021 and 24% in last year’s third quarter. The decline reflects the previously mentioned dip in higher-margin international sales. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.6 million versus $4.2 million in last year’s third quarter.

NobelClad Third quarter sales at NobelClad were $22.9 million, down 1% sequentially and up 9% versus the 2020 third quarter. Gross margin was 30%, up from 28% in the 2021 second quarter and 26% in last year's third quarter. The gross margin improvement reflects a more favorable project mix. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.6 million, up from $3.4 million in last year’s third quarter.

NobelClad’s trailing 12-month book-to-bill ratio at the end of the third quarter was 0.99, and its rolling 12-month bookings were $84.3 million. Order backlog was $42.9 million versus $45.1 million at the end of the second quarter.

Nine-month resultsConsolidated sales for the nine-month period were $188.3 million, up 9% versus the same period a year ago. Gross margin was 25% versus 26% in the 2020 nine-month period. Operating income was $3.1 million versus an operating loss of $178,000 in last year’s nine-month period. Net income for the period was $2.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $485,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA was $17.3 million versus $15.5 million in last year’s nine-month period.

DynaEnergeticsNine-month sales at DynaEnergetics were $124.7 million, up 12% from $111.1 million, in last year’s nine-month period. Operating income was $6.3 million versus $3.9 million in the comparable year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA was $12.4 million versus $12.2 million in last year’s nine-month period.

NobelCladNobelClad reported nine-month sales of $63.6 million, up 4% from $61.0 million at the nine-month mark last year. Operating income was $8.6 million versus $5.9 million in the comparable year-ago period, while adjusted EBITDA was $11.6 million versus $8.8 million in last year’s nine-month period.

Management Commentary Kevin Longe, president and CEO, said, “Supply chain disruptions and travel restrictions challenged the international operations of both DMC businesses during the third quarter. As a result, consolidated sales were below our expectations. DynaEnergetics’ international sales were down $2.8 million sequentially versus the $7.4 million reported in second quarter; and at NobelClad, disruptions in global metals supplies slowed activity at its U.S. and European manufacturing facilities.

“In North America, rising crude prices led to higher well completion activity, which drove a strong increase in unit sales of DynaEnergetics’ fully integrated and factory-assembled DS perforating systems. However, pricing for products and services remained weak. As market conditions continue to improve and operators implement their 2022 budgets, we believe pricing will begin to improve as well. We expect DynaEnergetics will be among the first to benefit from strengthening prices, as it offers a highly differentiated product line that delivers proven improvements in the safety, efficiency and reliability of its customers’ operations. Factory-assembled DS systems are delivered just in time to the wellsite, eliminating assembly operations and requiring fewer people on location. Our systems also lead to better performing wells for operators.”

Earlier this week, DynaEnergetics announced a 5% price increase that will go into effect November 22, 2021. The increase was implemented to offset higher labor and material costs, as well as the anticipated wind down of the CARES Act. DynaEnergetics expects to implement additional increases during 2022 as it seeks to return margins to levels that reflect the inherent value of its products.

“We continue to aggressively pursue legal action against several companies that have commercialized products we believe violate DynaEnergetics’ intellectual property,” Longe added. “We are steadfastly committed to our legal position and believe our strategy is critical to maintaining our competitive advantages and protecting our substantial investments in new technologies and products.

“I am encouraged by the progress NobelClad is making to strengthen its commercial organization and expand its addressable market. The sales team also is reporting growing customer interest in its new DetaPipe™ offering.”  

Longe concluded, “The economy continues to strengthen, and demand in our primary end markets is improving. DMC has a strong balance sheet, and our businesses are well positioned with the right people, products and infrastructure to address the growing demand.”

GuidanceMichael Kuta, CFO, said fourth quarter 2021 sales are expected in a range of $68 million to $74 million versus the $67.2 million reported in the 2021 third quarter. DynaEnergetics is expected to report fourth quarter sales in a range of $46 million to $50 million versus the $44.2 million reported in 2021 third quarter. The anticipated increase reflects an expected improvement in international sales following the Covid-related order delays in the third quarter. NobelClad’s sales are expected in a range of $22 million to $24 million versus the $22.9 million reported in the 2021 third quarter. NobelClad’s fourth quarter sales forecast includes $8.8 million related to a previously announced order from the chemical industry. Receipt of the raw materials required to produce the order has been delayed due to supply chain bottlenecks, and while NobelClad still expects to receive the materials and fulfil the order during the fourth quarter, there remains a risk that some, or all, of the shipment will occur after year end.   

Consolidated gross margin is expected in a range of 23% to 24% versus the 25% reported in the 2021 third quarter. The expected decline relates to a less favorable project mix at NobelClad.

Fourth quarter selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense is expected in a range of $15 million to $16 million versus the $15.3 million reported in the 2021 third quarter. Fourth quarter SG&A includes anticipated patent infringement litigation expenses of approximately $2.0 million at DynaEnergetics.

Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $200,000.  DMC’s full year tax-rate is expected in a range of 31% to 33%.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected in a range of $5 million to $6 million versus the $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. The fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA forecast includes litigation expenses of approximately $2.0 million and assumes the previously enacted CARES Act legislation remains in effect through year end.

Fourth quarter capital expenditures are expected in a range of $2 million to $4 million. For modeling purposes, fourth quarter weighted average shares outstanding will be approximately 18.7 million.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresAdjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), and net cash are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures used by management to measure operating performance and liquidity. Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of DMC’s financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided within the schedules attached to this release.

EBITDA is defined as net income plus or minus net interest plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). Adjusted operating income (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance. Net cash is defined as cash and cash equivalents less total debt. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its operational and financial decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance. As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews feature adjusted EBITDA measures. Management believes that investors may find this non-GAAP financial measure useful for similar reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. In addition, management incentive awards are based, in part, on the amount of adjusted EBITDA achieved during relevant periods. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are also used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess operating performance. For example, a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA is required by the lenders under DMC’s credit facility.

Net cash is used by management to supplement GAAP financial information and evaluate DMC’s performance, and management believes this information may be similarly useful to investors. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) are presented because management believes these measures are useful to understand the effects of restructuring and impairment charges on DMC’s operating income (loss) and net income (loss), respectively.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance.

All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles and stock-based compensation) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing DMC’s operating performance (e.g., income taxes, restructuring and impairment charges). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the company’s operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect DMC’s ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business. For example, by adjusting for depreciation and amortization in computing EBITDA, users can compare operating performance without regard to different accounting determinations such as useful life. In the case of the other items, management believes that investors can better assess operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.
