Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ: BOOM) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Third quarter sales were $36.6 million, down 7% from the third quarter of 2015, and a decline of 12% versus the 2016-second quarter. Sales were 2% below management's forecast due to delivery delays by a subcontractor to DMC's NobelClad business. The delays pushed $2.1 million in NobelClad shipments out of the third quarter. The shortfall was partially offset by a large recurring order from India for oilfield products from DMC's DynaEnergetics business. In 2015, the order was shipped during the second quarter. 

Third quarter gross margin was 23%, down from 26% in last year's third quarter and 24% in the second quarter. The decline was largely due to widespread pricing pressure within DynaEnergetics' oil and gas end markets. Gross margin was above management's forecasted range of 20% to 22%, reflecting the impact of record sales volumes of the DynaSelect integrated switch detonator, a high-value initiation system from DynaEnergetics.

Loss from operations was $2.4 million versus an operating loss of $941,000 in the year-ago third quarter. This year's operating loss included restructuring expense of approximately $373,000, which is primarily related to the termination of a lease for DynaEnergetics' former offices in Austin, Texas. Restructuring charges in the 2015-third quarter were $285,000.

Third quarter net loss was $3.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the year-ago third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA* was $1.2 million versus $2.5 million in last year's third quarter.

DynaEnergetics
Sales at DynaEnergetics were $19.6 million, up 8% from last year's third quarter and up 32% sequentially. Excluding the impact of the recurring India order, sales were down 12% versus the 2015 third quarter and up 8% sequentially. Operating loss was $1.0 million versus operating loss of $655,000 in the comparable year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 million versus $1.1 million in the comparable 2015 quarter.

NobelClad
NobelClad reported third quarter sales of $16.9 million, down 21% versus last year's third quarter and a 36% decline versus the second quarter. Operating income was $701,000 versus $1.7 million in the 2015 third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million versus $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2015. NobelClad ended the quarter with an order backlog of $32.9 million versus $34.5 million at the end of the second quarter.

Nine-Month Results
Consolidated sales for the nine-month period were $118.4 million, down 5% from $125.1 million in the 2015 nine-month period. Gross margin was 24% versus 27% in the same period a year ago. The decline reflects widespread pricing pressure in DynaEnergetics' oil and gas end markets. Operating loss was $3.3 million, which included approximately $1.2 million in restructuring expense, versus a loss from operations of $4.2 million in the comparable year-ago period, which included $3.4 million in restructuring expense. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.5 million versus $9.1 million in last year's nine-month period.

DynaEnergetics
Nine-month sales at DynaEnergetics were $50.0 million, down 14% from $58.4 million, in last year's nine-month period. Operating loss was $3.0 million versus an operating loss of $201,000 in the comparable year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.2 million versus $5.6 million in last year's nine-month period.

NobelClad
NobelClad reported nine-month sales of $68.4 million, up 3% from $66.7 million at the nine-month mark last year. Operating income was $6.3 million, up from $4.5 million in the comparable year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA was $9.3 million versus $8.2 million.

Management Commentary
"After nearly two years of declining well completion activity, the third quarter brought signs of improving demand from customers in DynaEnergetics' North American and international oil and gas markets," said Kevin Longe, president and CEO. "Demand during the quarter was particularly strong for the newest generation of the DynaSelect integrated switch detonator, an intrinsically safe initiating system that is improving customers' well-completion efficiencies and lowering their overall cost of operations. DynaSelect unit sales reached a quarterly record during the third period, increasing 34% sequentially and 19% versus the third quarter of 2015. 

"DynaEnergetics also saw increased adoption of its DynaStage factory-assembled perforating system. Six wireline companies in the United States and Canada are using DynaStage -- up from four customers at the end of the second quarter -- and several additional service companies are evaluating the system. DynaStage is built around the DynaSelect detonator, which means the factory-assembled perforating system incorporates the same safety and reliability benefits inherent in the initiating system. Additionally, since DynaStage is delivered to the well site pre-assembled, it reduces our customers' reliance on field assembly crews. As the market recovery takes hold, we believe DynaStage will enable wireline companies to quickly address customer demand without having to hire and train full teams of perforating personnel."

Longe said despite the upturn in oilfield services activity, pricing remains a challenge across the industry. "We believe the current pricing environment will begin to improve during the first half of 2017, provided the recent recovery in crude oil prices is sustainable and demand for well completion services and products continues to improve. As pricing pressures ease and our new technologies are more broadly adopted, we believe DynaEnergetics is positioned to deliver much improved operating income."

Longe continued, "While a recovery in NobelClad's industrial infrastructure markets has yet to take hold, the business continued to advance its global sales and marketing initiatives during the quarter. The improvement in quoting activity we discussed in July continued during the third quarter, but the release of projects by end users has remained sluggish. Many of the recent inquiries relate to projects in the chemical and aluminum markets. We believe NobelClad is well positioned to capture a meaningful share of these prospective orders when they are ultimately released for construction.

"We have remained focused on strengthening DMC's balance sheet and positioning the Company for improved free cash flow generation. During the third quarter, we reduced our net debt position (lines of credit less cash and cash equivalents) by 47% sequentially, and by 65% versus the end of 2015. 

"Despite a very challenging environment, we have made significant progress on our primary strategic objectives, which include strengthening our financial position, increasing our market share, and investing aggressively in new products, technologies and market development initiatives that will improve our profitability and competitive strength over the long term."

Guidance
Michael Kuta, chief financial officer, said, "We are forecasting that 2016 full-year sales will be down 7% to 9% versus the $166.9 million we reported in 2015. Our prior forecast was for a decline of 5% to 7%. The revision relates to expected weaker sales at NobelClad, and anticipated slower than normal customer activity during the holiday season at DynaEnergetics. Expectations for full-year gross margin are unchanged at 22% to 24% versus the 25% reported in 2015."

"Fourth quarter sales are expected to be down approximately 15% from the 2015 fourth quarter. Gross margin is expected in a range of 20% to 22% versus the 23% we reported in last year's fourth quarter. The $9.5 million in selling, general and administrative expense we reported in the third quarter was above our $9.0 million forecast, due primarily to higher outside legal fees. During the fourth quarter, SG&A is expected to total approximately $9.5 million, while amortization expense is anticipated to be approximately $1.0 million."

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure 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). 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.
