Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ: BOOM) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Fourth quarter sales were $41.9 million, up 6% sequentially from the 2015 third quarter and down 20% from $52.0 million in the 2014 fourth quarter. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency exchange translation, sales declined 15% versus last year's fourth quarter. The sales results were above the Company's forecast, which anticipated a decline of 25% to 30% versus the 2014 fourth quarter. The top-line results reflect better-than-expected sales at DynaEnergetics, DMC's oilfield products business.

Gross margin was 23%, excluding the impact of the previously announced reserve for potential anti-dumping duties at DynaEnergetics and a $1.3 million reserve adjustment at DynaEnergetics for slow moving inventory. Gross margin was down from 26% in the third quarter and 32% in last year's fourth quarter, which excludes a $932,000 reserve adjustment for slow moving inventory. The sequential and year-over-year declines are primarily attributable to widespread pricing pressure in DynaEnergetics' end markets and less favorable project mix at the Company's NobelClad business. As reported, fourth quarter gross margin was 5%.

Fourth quarter income from operations was $189,000, excluding $19.6 million in pre-tax "special items"*, which include the previously mentioned accrued anti-dumping duties and inventory reserve adjustment, as well as an $11.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, and restructuring charges of $666,000. In the 2014 fourth quarter, operating income was $4.1 million, excluding $6.8 million in restructuring charges and inventory reserves in DynaEnergetics. As reported, fourth quarter 2015 operating loss was $19.4 million.

The previously mentioned $11.5 million non-cash charge was recorded to write off the goodwill balance at DynaEnergetics in light of the accelerated downturn of the oil and gas industry during the 2015 fourth quarter. The $666,000 fourth quarter restructuring expense relates principally to staff reductions at DynaEnergetics' German operations, as well as the closure of multiple DynaEnergetics distributions centers in the United States.

Fourth quarter after-tax loss from continuing operations was $3.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, excluding after-tax special items of $12.9 million. For the 2014 fourth quarter, after-tax income from continuing operations, excluding restructuring charges and inventory reserves, was $1.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. As reported, 2015 fourth quarter after-tax loss from continuing operations was $16.0 million, or $1.15 per diluted share.

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA* was $3.3 million versus $8.1 million in the 2014 fourth quarter. 

NobelClad
NobelClad reported sales of $23.3 million, up 9% sequentially versus the 2015 third quarter, and a 3% increase from the fourth quarter of 2014. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency exchange translation, sales increased 8% versus last year's fourth quarter. Operating income was $1.3 million, including restructuring charges of $144,000. In the 2014 fourth quarter, NobelClad reported a loss from operations of $4.2 million, which included a $6.8 million restructuring charge related to the consolidation of its European operations. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.5 million versus $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. NobelClad ended the quarter with an order backlog of $41.8 million versus $41.7 million at the end of this year's third quarter and $41.2 million at the end of the 2014 fourth quarter.

DynaEnergetics
Sales at DynaEnergetics were $18.6 million, a 2% sequential improvement from the 2015 third quarter, and a 37% decline from last year's fourth quarter. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency exchange translation, sales declined 33% versus last year's fourth quarter. The sequential sales improvement reflects continued customer adoption of new perforating products and technologies, and was achieved despite a 17% sequential decline in the U.S. rig count and a 24% drop in the price of crude during the fourth quarter. Loss from operations was $19.0 million, including $19.4 million in special items. Fourth quarter 2014 operating income was $3.4 million, including the inventory reserve adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA in the 2015 fourth quarter was $1.9 million versus $6.1 million in the comparable 2014 quarter. 

Full-Year Results
Consolidated sales in 2015 were $166.9 million, down 18% from $202.6 million in 2014. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency exchange translation, sales declined 11% versus 2014. Gross margin, excluding reserves for potential anti-dumping duties and inventory reserve adjustments, was 26%. Gross margin in 2014 was 31%, excluding a $1.3 million inventory reserve adjustment. Full-year 2015 gross margin was 21%, including anti-dumping reserves and the inventory reserve adjustment.

Full-year loss from operations was $23,000, excluding special items of $23.7 million. Operating income in 2014 was $14.7 million, excluding $6.8 million in restructuring charges and inventory reserve adjustments. As reported, full-year 2015 operating loss was $23.7 million.

After-tax loss from continuing operations was $8.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, excluding special items of $15.9 million, versus 2014 after-tax income from continuing operations of $7.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, excluding restructuring and inventory reserve adjustments. As reported, 2015 full-year after-tax loss from continuing operations was $24.0 million, or $1.72 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA in 2015 was $13.1 million versus $31.5 million in 2014. 

NobelClad
NobelClad reported full-year sales of $90.0 million, down 7% from $97.1 million in 2014. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency exchange translation, sales increased 1% versus 2014. Operating income was $5.8 million, including restructuring charges of $750,000, versus 2014 operating income of $2.2 million, which included $6.8 million in restructuring charges. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.7 million versus $15.4 million in 2014. 

DynaEnergetics
DynaEnergetics reported full-year sales of $76.9 million, down 27% from $105.5 million in 2014. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency exchange translation, sales declined 21% year over year. Loss from operations was $19.2 million, including $21.3 million in special items. In 2014, operating income was $14.5 million, including the inventory reserve adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA was $8.1 million in 2015, down from $22.4 million in 2014.

Management Commentary
"The fourth quarter sequential sales improvement at NobelClad and DynaEnergetics was achieved despite very weak conditions in the global oil and gas industry, which is the primary end market of both businesses," said Kevin Longe, CEO.

"While consolidated sales exceeded our forecast, gross margin was below expectations. Excluding the reserve for potential import duties, the gross margin shortfall was largely due to the aggressive stance we have taken toward slow moving inventory at DynaEnergetics. The industry-wide decline in capital spending during the fourth quarter resulted in a greater portion of our inventory falling under this policy, which led to the reserve adjustment. Margin was also compressed by pricing pressure impacting the global oilfield services sector, and a less profitable project mix at NobelClad.

"DynaEnergetics improved its customer penetration in North America during the quarter. Demand for the DynaSelect integrated switch detonator continues to grow, as operators and service providers are leveraging the reliability, efficiency and safety of this industry-leading product.

"DynaStage, our factory-assembled perforating system, is being deployed across a growing number of U.S. oil and gas basins by our principal partner. While the ramp up in DynaStage sales is taking longer than expected due to the downturn, we are encouraged by the interest the system has generated at several major exploration and production companies. Our efforts to educate end users about the efficiency and safety benefits of DynaStage have led multiple operators to request the system from their service providers.

"In Tyumen, Siberia, DynaEnergetics has obtained all the permits necessary to manufacture industrial explosives at its new shaped charge plant. Test runs of the manufacturing line will commence in the coming days, and after passing internal quality checks, the charges will be tested in several Russian oil fields to ensure design performance. This process should be complete by the middle of the second quarter, at which point we expect to begin supplying Russia and the broader CIS region with high-performance charges and guns."

Subsequent to the close of 2015, NobelClad was awarded an approximately $6.3 million order for specialized explosion clad plates to be used in the fabrication of equipment for a semiconductor-material production facility in East Asia. The order was received directly from the end user, to which NobelClad provided technical support on a range of production and engineering issues. The order, which is expected to ship primarily during the 2016 second quarter, will be reflected in NobelClad's first-quarter order backlog and is incorporated in the Company's full year financial guidance.

"These plates will be manufactured at NobelClad's plant in Liebenscheid, Germany, which is close to the metal suppliers," Longe said. "Moreover, producing this order in Europe instead of Pennsylvania allows NobelClad to capitalize on the weakness of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar."

NobelClad's European sales team currently is bidding on several additional international order opportunities in a variety of end markets, including power generation, oil and gas, chemical and transportation.

In commenting on the U.S. Commerce Department's recent anti-dumping ruling, Longe noted, "We are disappointed by the Department's recent decision related to prior imports of mechanical steel tubing at DynaEnergetics, and we intend to appeal the ruling. In the meantime, we have recorded a reserve for potential anti-dumping duties and associated interest accrued in the event we are unsuccessful in our appeal."

He added, "Our restructuring of both NobelClad and DynaEnergetics during the past two years has significantly enhanced operating efficiencies and positioned both businesses to generate improved cash flow during 2016 and beyond. At the Company level, DMC has entered the year with a stronger balance sheet, and we will continue our aggressive efforts to reduce and ultimately eliminate our debt. I am encouraged by the fundamental improvements we made throughout the Company during 2015, and believe DMC is well positioned to capitalize on the eventual rebound in our markets."

Guidance
Michael Kuta, chief financial officer, said, "Full-year 2016 sales are expected to be flat versus the $166.9 million reported in 2015. Full-year gross margin is expected in a range of 24% to 26% versus the 25% reported in 2015.

For the first quarter, Kuta said sales are expected to be down 8% to 12% versus the $40.8 million reported in the 2015 first quarter. The anticipated decline relates to the much lower capital spending budgets being announced by most exploration and production companies, particularly in North America. Gross margin is expected to be in a range of 22% to 24% versus the 31% reported in last year's first quarter. Selling, general and administrative expense is expected to total approximately $9.0 million for the first quarter, while amortization expense is anticipated to be approximately $1.0 million.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, as well as income measures that exclude restructuring expenses (ex-items), are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures used by management to measure operating performance. 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). 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 these non-GAAP measures 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 the adjusted EBITDA. In addition, during 2014 DMC management incentive awards were based, in part, on the amount of adjusted EBITDA achieved during the year. Management also believes that investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are also used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess operating performance. For example, a measure similar to EBITDA is required by the lenders under DMC's credit facility.

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 and gain on sale of assets). 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.

We have also presented certain financial measures excluding certain one-time, non-recurring "special items," including our accrued anti-dumping duties, inventory reserve adjustment, the non-cash goodwill impairment charge and restructuring charges. These are non-GAAP financial measures when the special items are excluded. We believe these are important supplemental measures because they eliminate one-time, non-recurring items that have less bearing on our operating performance and so highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. We have quantified those special items earlier in this release, or immediately following, the financial measures that excluded the special items, to allow readers to measure their impact.
