On June 2, 2023, the Board of Directors of Ascent made the decision to permanently cease operations at the Company’s welded pipe and tube facility located in Munhall, PA (“Munhall”) effective on August 31, 2023. On December 22, 2023, the Company closed on a transaction to sell substantially all of the assets of Specialty Pipe & Tube (“SPT”). As a result, financial results from Munhall & SPT have been categorized into discontinued operations.

 

Management Commentary

“The Ascent team made notable progress towards our long-term strategic goals in 2023, despite continued market headwinds,” said Ascent CEO Bryan Kitchen. “This progress was driven by meaningful initiatives to onboard new customers and unlock operational efficiencies that we expect to bear fruit next year. However, our momentum in the fourth quarter was not sufficient to fully mitigate the adverse effects of industry-wide destocking trends that impacted both business segments. Prior to year-end, Ascent closed on a sale of substantially all of the assets of Specialty Pipe and Tube, generating $55 million in an all-cash transaction. These proceeds were utilized to clear remaining debt, positioning the Company favorably as it entered 2024.

“We moved into 2024 with a healthy financial position and a commitment to driving sustainable earnings-growth across the enterprise. This commitment is underscored by purposeful initiatives to recapitalize talent and capabilities, aimed to maximize the value derived from the unique strengths within our tubular segment while simultaneously investing in the growth potential of the specialty chemicals segment. We believe our newly-assembled management team has already begun to make progress towards our long-term goals focused on creating durable shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Net sales from continuing operations were $41.2 million compared to $54.2 million in the prior year period, primarily attributable to decreased end-market demand and de-stocking trends across both segments.

Gross profit from continuing operations was $(2.1) million, or (5.2%) of net sales, compared to $4.9 million, or 9.0% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to elevated costs and unfavorable product mix.

Net loss from continuing operations was $7.5 million, or $(0.73) diluted loss per share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $4.5 million, or $0.43 diluted earnings per share, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the aforementioned lower net sales, along with an increase in administrative expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(5.9) million compared to $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin was (14.4)% compared to 3.0% in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to the aforementioned lower net sales.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Net sales from continuing operations were $193.2 million compared to $262.0 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in volume throughout the year as a result of industry-wide de-stocking trends and challenging end market fundamentals.

Gross profit from continuing operations was $1.5 million, or 0.8% of net sales, compared to $43.3 million or 16.5% of net sales in 2022. The decrease was primary attributable to the aforementioned decline in net sales across both segments, along with unfavorable product mix over the prior year.

Net loss from continuing operations was $34.2 million, or $(3.37) diluted loss per share, compared to $17.6 million, or $1.69 diluted earnings per share in 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the aforementioned decline in net sales and gross margin.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(15.9) million compared to $25.6 million in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was (8.2)% compared to 9.8% in the prior year. The decline is primarily attributable to lower operating margins across both segments compared to the prior year.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other applicable federal securities laws. All statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements can be identified through the use of words such as "estimate," "project," "intend," "expect," "believe," "should," "anticipate," "hope," "optimistic," "plan," "outlook," "should," "could," "may" and similar expressions. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and to review the risks as set forth in more detail in Ascent Industries Co.’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which filings are available from the SEC or on our website. Ascent Industries Co. assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information included in this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Financial statement information included in this earnings release includes non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is useful to investors in evaluating its results to determine the value of a company. An item is excluded in the measure if its periodic value is inconsistent and sufficiently material that not identifying the item would render period comparability less meaningful to the reader or if including the item provides a clearer representation of normalized periodic earnings. The Company excludes in Adjusted EBITDA two categories of items: 1) Base EBITDA components, including: interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and 2) Material transaction costs including: goodwill impairment, asset impairment, gain on lease modification, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease cost, acquisition costs and other fees, , shelf registration costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, earn-out adjustments, , retention costs and restructuring & severance costs from net income.

Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they are key measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions as well as allow readers to compare the financial results between periods. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

The term Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is useful to investors in evaluating its results to determine the value of a company. An item is excluded in the measure if its periodic value is inconsistent and sufficiently material that not identifying the item would render period comparability less meaningful to the reader or if including the item provides a clearer representation of normalized periodic earnings. The Company excludes in Adjusted EBITDA two categories of items: 1) Base EBITDA components, including: interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and 2) Material transaction costs including: goodwill impairment, asset impairment, gain on lease modification, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease cost, acquisition costs and other fees, loss on extinguishment of debt, earn-out adjustments, retention costs and restructuring & severance costs from net income. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent, refer to the Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.
