MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 12, 2015) - KP Tissue Inc. ("KPT") (TSX:KPT) reports the Q2 2015 Financial and Operational Results of KPT and Kruger Products L.P. (KPLP):
- Revenue increased by 5.3% to $279.3 million in Q2 2015 compared to $265.3 million in Q2 2014
- EBITDA increased by 4.1% to $30.2 million in Q2 2015 from $29.0 million in Q2 2014
- Maintained number one overall consumer market share in Canada
- Achieved TAD Product EBITDA contribution of $11.2 million in Q2 2015 compared to $7.8 million in Q2 2014
"We are pleased with EBITDA of $30.2 million for the quarter, considering the persistent negative impact of foreign exchange, high commodity prices and the competitive environment in the North American tissue market. Despite these challenges, we remained the clear overall market leader in the Canadian Consumer tissue market. We achieved higher EBITDA contribution from our TAD products, and from the Away-From-Home segment with the integration of the Metro Paper acquisition. Further, our incremental cost reduction initiatives are partially offsetting the impact of the adverse market conditions," said Mario Gosselin, CEO of KP Tissue and KPLP.
"The EBITDA outlook for the third quarter is for a slight improvement over the second quarter of 2015. When compared with Q3 last year, we expect that Q3 2015 EBITDA will be lower primarily due to the negative impact of foreign exchange," concluded Mr. Gosselin.
KP Tissue Inc.
KPT currently holds a 16.4% interest in KPLP. The highlights, discussion and analysis in this earnings release, unless identified specifically as representing the financial results of only KPT, relates entirely to the financial results of KPLP.
KPLP Q2 2015 Financial Results
Revenue in Q2 2015 was $279.3 million, compared to $265.3 million in Q2 2014, an increase of $14.0 million or 5.3%. The increase in revenue was due to additional sales volume in the Consumer segment in Canada and Mexico, and a significant increase in AFH segment revenue resulting from the acquisition of Metro Paper. In the Consumer U.S. business, sales volume declined due to comparatively higher promotional activities in Q2 2014, which was partially offset by the favourable impact of foreign exchange on U.S. dollar sales.
Cost of sales in Q2 2015 was $240.4 million, compared to $226.3 million in Q2 2014 primarily due to the negative impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Pulp market prices (NBSK) decreased while Eucalyptus (BEK) was up compared to the same period in 2014. Cost of sales was also negatively impacted in the quarter by a $3.4 million pension revaluation for past service costs. Cost reduction initiatives and lower natural gas prices and freight costs partially offset the above increases in cost of sales. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales was 86.1% in Q2 2015 compared to 85.3% in Q2 2014.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in Q2 2015 were $21.3 million, compared to $19.9 million in Q2 2014 primarily due to higher selling expenses as a result of increased sales volume and the unfavourable impact of foreign exchange. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 7.6% in Q2 2015 compared to 7.5% in Q2 2014.
EBITDA in Q2 2015 was $30.2 million compared to $29.0 million in Q2 2014 as the positive impact of increased sales was partially offset by higher SG&A and the net negative impact of foreign exchange in Q2 2015 compared to Q2 2014. TAD Product EBITDA increased to $11.2 million in Q2 2015 from $7.8 million in Q2 2014 due to improved sales mix, favourable foreign exchange on U.S. sales and the continued ramp-up in manufacturing operational efficiencies.
Net income in Q2 2015 was $3.2 million compared to $8.1 million in Q2 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a pension revaluation related to past service costs of $3.4 million, a change in the tax expense of $1.1 million, an increase in interest expense of $1.1 million and a decrease in the unrealized foreign exchange gain of $0.7 million, partially offset by higher EBITDA of $1.2 million.
The cash balance as of June 28, 2015 was $35.3 million compared to $32.0 million as of March 29, 2015. Cash generated from operating activities resulting from EBITDA in Q2 2015, was partially offset by higher working capital requirements, as well as capital spending and interest payments in the quarter.
KPT Q2 2015 Financial Results
KPT incurred a net loss of $0.9 million in Q2 2015. Included in the net loss was $0.5 million representing KPT's share of KPLP's income. The income was reduced by the net of depreciation expense of $1.4 million related to adjustments to carrying amounts on acquisition, and an income tax expense of $0.1 million.

KPLP will pay a distribution of $0.18 per KPLP unit to its partners on or prior to October 15, 2015.

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release uses certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios which KPLP believes provide useful information to both management of KPLP and the readers of the financial information in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of KPLP. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. An example of such measures is EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measurement of operating performance computed in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as a substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance with IFRS. "EBITDA" is calculated by KPLP as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, (iv) amortization, (v) impairment of non-financial assets, (vi) loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, (vii) unrealized foreign exchange loss (gain), (viii) one-time costs related to restructuring activities, (ix) change in the amortized cost of the Partnership unit liability, and (x) one-time costs due to pension revaluations related to past service. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the relevant reported results can be found in the Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of KPT and KPLP for the second quarter ended June 28, 2015 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
