AURORA, Ill., Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CMC Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCMP), a leading global supplier of consumable materials primarily to semiconductor manufacturers, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2021, which ended September 30, 2021.
“Today, CMC Materials reported results for fiscal 2021, our fifth consecutive year of record revenue, driven by strong growth in our Electronic Materials segment,” said David Li, President and CEO of CMC Materials. “Our team showed resilience while navigating a challenging operating environment, especially during the second half of our fiscal year.”
“Our CMP slurries business delivered strong performance, with 14% growth over last year, advancing ahead of the market. As previously discussed, we experienced some order pattern variation in China in the third and fourth quarters which we believe has now normalized. In this important region, our slurries business increased nearly 40% in fiscal year 2021, and we continue to expect our business to grow as our participation and customer base expands,” said Mr. Li. “We are well positioned to win new opportunities and support our customers as they expand capacity and transition to the most advanced nodes.”
Global Price Increases and Strategic Cost Optimization Program
To counter the impact of rapidly rising raw materials, freight and logistics costs, the company implemented global price increases, which took effect during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, and is prepared to implement further pricing actions if needed to offset additional inflationary headwinds.
The company also has initiated a strategic cost optimization program named “Future Forward.” The program is designed to implement structural changes to enhance operational efficiencies, while maintaining strong focus on technology innovation and customer partnerships. “Future Forward” includes targeted position eliminations, footprint optimization and other actions to reduce expenses. This program is targeted to drive savings of approximately $15 million in fiscal year 2022, which should be a direct benefit to the company’s Adjusted EBITDA, and ongoing annualized savings in the range of $20 million-$25 million by approximately the end of fiscal year 2023.
“We are excited about CMC Materials’ future growth opportunities, especially given our advantaged positions and customers’ significant expected additions to semiconductor capacity. We believe the initiatives announced today will position us for critical growth opportunities and contribute to our long track record of financial strength,” said Mr. Li.
Key Financial Highlights
The company’s record quarterly revenue of $311.9 million reflects an increase of 13.8% compared to the same quarter last year, and was driven by continued growth in all businesses in the Electronic Materials segment, which represents more than 80% of the company’s revenue. This strong performance is reflective of the company’s differentiators, including a highly formulated and broad product portfolio, commitment to technological innovation, close customer partnerships, global infrastructure and ability to manage complex requirements across global supply chains.
In the Performance Materials segment, the wood treatment and QED businesses reported strong revenue growth year-over-year. The pipeline and industrial materials (PIM) business increased modestly compared to the same quarter last year but underperformed expectations as the ongoing effects and related factors of the COVID-19 Pandemic (“Pandemic”), logistics constraints and slower than expected ramps of new customer positions negatively impacted the business.
Net income was $16.1 million compared to $36.9 million in the prior year. In the quarter, the company recorded an $11.7 million impairment charge for the wood treatment business related to the previously announced strategic decision to exit this business. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $86.0 million, compared to $84.0 million in the prior year. The company repurchased 822,251 shares of common stock for $104.9 million during the quarter.
Revenue for the company’s fiscal year 2021 was a record $1,199.8 million, an increase of 7.5% compared to the prior year, as 11.5% growth in the company’s Electronic Materials segment was partially offset by a 7.9% decline in the Performance Materials segment. Net loss was $68.6 million compared to net income of $142.8 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $358.3 million, compared to $357.8 million in the prior year. During the year, the company generated $270.6 million in cash flow from operations. The company had $186.0 million of cash on hand and $916.3 million in total debt as of the end of the fiscal year.
Key Financial Information for the Fourth Quarter
- Revenue was $311.9 million, 13.8% higher than the same quarter last year due to growth in both the company’s segments. Revenue was up 0.8% sequentially.
- Net income was $16.1 million compared to $36.9 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted net income1 was $47.3 million, 18.4% lower compared to the prior year, as higher revenue was more than offset primarily by higher raw materials, freight, and logistics costs.
- Diluted EPS was $0.55 compared to $1.25 in the same quarter last year. Adjusted diluted EPS1 was $1.62, 17.3% lower compared to the same quarter last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 was $86.0 million, up 2.3% compared to the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 for the quarter was 27.6%, compared to adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.6% in the same quarter last year.

Electronic Materials – Revenue was $254.3 million, 14.1% higher than revenue in the same quarter last year due to growth across all businesses. Revenue was 1.3% higher sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA was $79.2 million, or 31.2% of revenue.
Performance Materials – Revenue was $57.6 million for the quarter, 12.2% higher than revenue in the same quarter last year, driven primarily by strength in the QED and wood treatment businesses. Revenue was 1.4% lower sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA was $20.8 million, or 36.0% of revenue.
Key Financial Information for the Full Fiscal Year 2021
- Revenue was $1,199.8 million, 7.5% higher than last year due to growth in both the company’s segments.
- Net loss was $68.6 million compared to net income of $142.8 million last year. In fiscal year 2021, the company recorded $230.4 million in impairment charges for the PIM and wood treatment businesses. Adjusted net income1 was $210.1 million, 4.9% lower compared to the prior year, as higher revenue and lower interest expense were offset by higher costs.
- Diluted loss per share was $2.35 compared to diluted earnings per share of $4.83 last year. Adjusted diluted EPS1 was $7.11, 4.8% lower compared to last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA1 was $358.3 million, up 0.1% compared to last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 for the year was 29.9%, compared to adjusted EBITDA margin of 32.1% last year.

Current Financial Guidance
Sequentially, the company currently expects total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 to be up low to mid single digits compared to revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Electronic Materials revenue is expected to be up low to mid single digits. Primarily because the company is beginning the previously announced exit of the wood treatment business, Performance Materials revenue is expected to be down approximately 10% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
The company currently expects full fiscal year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $355 million to $385 million.
Factored in the company’s outlook is the exit of the wood treatment business by the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2022, which is expected to negatively impact Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $37 million compared to fiscal year 2021. The company expects to generally offset this impact with organic growth and the initial benefits from the “Future Forward” strategic cost optimization program. Price increases are targeted to offset increased costs for raw materials, freight and logistics.
With respect to this guidance, and additional current expectations provided in the company’s related slide presentation and prepared commentary, the company notes the continued uncertainty as to the ongoing macroeconomic environment and the impact of the Pandemic on the industries in which the company participates.

USE OF CERTAIN GAAP AND NON-GAAP ADJUSTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The company’s financial results are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, the Company presents the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, and net debt. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excludes certain items that affect comparability from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
The non-GAAP financial measures provided in this press release are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, the company’s financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the investor's understanding about the company's ongoing operations. Specifically, the company believes the impact of the adjustments related to impairment charges, acquisitions, such as expenses incurred to complete an acquisition and related integration and acquisition-related amortization expenses, costs of restructuring related to the wood treatment business, costs incurred related to the COVID-19 pandemic (“Pandemic”) net of grants received, costs related to the KMG-Bernuth warehouse fire net of insurance recoveries, a charge for an environmental accrual and the effects of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 in the United States (“Tax Act”) and the issued final regulations related to the Tax Act, are not indicative of its core operating results and thus presents these certain measures excluding these effects. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures are included in the financial statements portion of this press release.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Electronic Materials and Performance Materials segments is presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting. This measure is reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For these reasons, this measure is excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.
