Phibro Animal Health Corporation (Nasdaq: PAHC) (“Phibro” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2023, and its updated financial guidance for the year ending June 30, 2024.
Highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2023 (compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022)
We have updated our fiscal year 2024 guidance, which includes:
COMMENTARY
“Our core Animal Health business demonstrated continued growth, with a 4% increase in net sales and a 6% increase in adjusted EBITDA. We have seen strong customer acceptance of poultry vaccines recently launched in Latin America, resulting in double-digit sales growth of our vaccines product group. Our nutritional specialty products for poultry also saw strong growth in the quarter, but challenging dairy fundamentals reduced overall growth in the product group,” said Jack Bendheim, Phibro’s Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.
Jack continued, “Our Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products businesses saw reduced sales in the quarter, in part because customers rationalized their inventory levels and in part due to timing. We expect these businesses to rebound later in the fiscal year. We continue to invest in our companion animal pipeline and see medium-term opportunities for commercial products. We are navigating the effects of the conflict in Israel and thanks to the resilience of our people, we continue to operate and supply our customers.”
QUARTERLY RESULTS
Net sales
Net sales of $231.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased $1.2 million, or 1%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Animal Health increased $5.7 million, while Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products decreased $3.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
Animal Health
Net sales of $160.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased $5.7 million, or 4%. Net sales of MFAs and other increased $1.3 million, or 1%, primarily driven by increased sales of processing aids used in the ethanol fermentation industry. Net sales of nutritional specialty products increased $1.2 million, or 3%, with increased volumes in poultry customers, primarily domestic. Net sales of vaccines increased $3.2 million, or 14%, due to poultry product introductions in Latin America and growth in the U.S. swine sector, partially offset by timing of deliveries in other international regions.
Mineral Nutrition
Net sales of $56.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased $3.6 million, or 6%, due to declines in the average selling prices and reduced volumes due to reduced demand.
Performance Products
Net sales of $14.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased $3.2 million, or 18%, as a result of lower demand for the ingredients used in personal care products.
Gross profit
Gross profit of $67.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased $0.9 million, or 1%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Gross margin decreased to 29.3% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 29.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Animal Health gross profit increased $2.4 million, primarily driven by higher sales volume. Mineral Nutrition gross profit decreased $2.3 million, driven by lower sales and higher costs. Performance Products gross profit decreased $1.1 million as a result of lower sales volumes of ingredients for personal care products, along with increased costs for these products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $68.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased $13.5 million, or 25%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. SG&A for the three months ended September 30, 2023, included $10.4 million of pension settlement cost and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation. Excluding these items, SG&A increased $3.0 million.
Animal Health SG&A increased $1.3 million, primarily due to an increase in employee and employee-related costs. Mineral Nutrition increased $0.2 million, while Performance Products decreased $0.1 million. Corporate costs increased by $1.6 million, due to strategic investments and employee-related costs.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net of $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased by $1.5 million, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of the increased debt with the issuance of 2023 Incremental Term Loan and the higher variable interest rates.
Foreign currency losses, net
Foreign currency losses, net for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were $6.7 million, as compared to $5.2 million of net losses for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Current period losses were driven by fluctuations in certain currencies related to the U.S. dollar, primarily in Argentina and Brazil.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes
The benefit for income taxes was $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the provision for income taxes of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The effective income tax rate was 33.1% and 28.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The benefit for income taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2023, included (i) a $1.2 million benefit related to the determination of whether a foreign tax is eligible for a U.S. foreign tax credit related to our fiscal year 2023, based on IRS guidance provided subsequent to our fiscal year-end and (ii) a $0.2 million expense from changes in uncertain tax positions related to prior years. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2022, included (i) a $0.9 million benefit related to exchange rate differences on intercompany dividends and (ii) a $0.2 million expense from changes in uncertain tax positions related to prior years. The effective income tax rate, without these items, would have been 24.8 % and 42.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Net (loss) income
Net loss of $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, represented a decrease of $11.9 million compared to net income of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Operating loss resulted in a decrease of $14.4 million, driven mostly by higher SG&A, which included the $10.4 million pension settlement cost. Interest expense, net increased $1.5 million due to the issuance of new debt and higher variable interest rates. Foreign currency losses, net also increased by $1.5 million. Income tax expense decreased by $5.5 million.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA of $18.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased $3.5 million, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Animal Health Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.5 million due to higher gross profit, partially offset by increased SG&A. Mineral Nutrition Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.4 million, due to lower sales. Performance Products Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.0 million due to lower sales and gross profit. Corporate expenses increased $1.6 million, due to increased strategic investments and employee-related costs.
Adjusted provision for income taxes
The adjusted effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, were 27.6% and 36.0%, respectively. The improvement in our adjusted effective income tax rate was driven by a favorable mix of international earnings and the benefit of recently implemented tax savings strategies.
Adjusted net income
Adjusted net income of $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased $2.8 million, or 33.0%, as compared to the prior year. The decrease was driven by lower gross profit, higher SG&A expenses and higher interest expense, partially offset by a lower tax provision. The lower gross profit results from lower sales. SG&A expenses increased due to strategic investments and increased employee-related costs.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share
Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.14 for the quarter, a decrease of $0.07, or 33.0% as compared to the adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.21 in the prior year.
BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOWS
FISCAL YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
Our updated fiscal year 2024 financial guidance is as shown in the table below. Year-over-year percentages are calculated using the midpoint of the guidance ranges.
The updated guidance reflects reduced expectations for the fiscal year, compared with our previous guidance, reflecting difficult fundamentals in certain parts of our business, including international beef feedlots, the U.S. and China dairy sectors and the pace of recovery in the Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products segments and the costs of manufacturing disruptions and inefficiencies due to the current conflict in Israel.

DISCLOSURE NOTICES
Forward-Looking Statements: This communication contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “projection,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “can,” “can have,” “likely,” the negatives thereof and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance or actions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if management’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Phibro expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A further list and description of risks, uncertainties and other matters can be found in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K, including in the sections thereof captioned “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” These filings and subsequent filings are available online at www.sec.gov, www.pahc.com, or on request from Phibro.
Non-GAAP Financial Information: We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow to assess and analyze our operational results and trends and to make financial and operational decisions. Management uses adjusted EBITDA as its primary operating measure. We report adjusted net income to portray the results of our operations prior to considering certain income statement elements. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors because they provide greater transparency regarding our operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this communication should not be considered alternatives to measurements required by GAAP, such as net income, operating income and earnings per share, and should not be considered measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this communication and/or our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We are not providing a reconciliation of forward-looking guidance of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, certain of the items required for a reconciliation; accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.
Internet Posting of Information: We routinely post information that may be important to investors in the “Investors” section of our website at www.pahc.com. We encourage investors and potential investors to consult our website regularly for important information about us.
