TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 2023 / CCL Industries Inc. (TSX:CCL.A)(TSX:CCL.B) ("the Company"), a world leader in specialty label, security and packaging solutions for global corporations, government institutions, small businesses and consumers, today reported 2023 second quarter results.

Sales for the second quarter of 2023 increased 1.8% to $1,644.5 million, compared to $1,615.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, with an organic decline of 4.5% offset by acquisition-related growth of 1.0% and a 5.3% positive impact from foreign currency translation.

Operating income (1) for the second quarter of 2023 was $242.0 million compared to $247.8 million for the comparable quarter of 2022. Operating income for the 2022 second quarter included a $3.5 million non-cash acquisition accounting adjustment related to the acquired inventory from the Adelbras acquisition that was expensed in the Company's cost of sales in the period. Foreign currency translation had a 5.8% positive impact on operating income for the comparable quarters.

The Company recorded an expense for restructuring and other items of $2.9 million, primarily attributable to reorganization charges at CCL Design and transaction costs associated with acquisitions completed in the current year compared to $3.2 million for reorganization costs in the 2022 second quarter.

Tax expense for the second quarter of 2023 was $47.7 million compared to $51.7 million in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the 2023 second quarter was 24.0%, lower than the 24.4% for the 2022 second quarter due to a higher portion of the Company's taxable income earned in lower tax jurisdictions.

Net earnings decreased 4.6% to $155.9 million for the 2023 second quarter compared to $163.4 million for the 2022 second quarter. Basic and adjusted basic earnings per Class B share (3) for the 2023 second quarter were $0.88 and $0.90, respectively, compared to basic and adjusted basic earnings per Class B share (3) of $0.91 and $0.94, respectively, in the prior year second quarter. Foreign currency translation had a positive $0.05 per share impact on earnings.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, sales, operating income (1) and net earnings improved 5.1%, 4.9% and 2.8% to $3.3 billion, $499.7 million and $322.3 million, respectively, compared to the same six-month period in 2022. Results for the 2022 six-month period included a $3.5 million non-cash acquisition accounting adjustment to the acquired finished goods inventory from the Adelbras acquisition expensed through cost of sales in the period. The 2023 six-month period included results from six acquisitions completed since January 1, 2022, delivering acquisition-related sales growth of 1.9%. Foreign currency translation had a positive 4.9% impact, partially offset by an organic sales decline of 1.7%. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, basic and adjusted basic earnings per Class B share (3) were $1.82 and $1.84, respectively, compared to basic and adjusted basic earnings per Class B share (3) of $1.75 and $1.79, respectively, in the prior year six-month period. Foreign currency translation had a positive $0.10 per share impact on earnings.

Geoffrey T. Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Solid second quarter results were held by slowing demand in parts of the economy as higher interest rates took hold impacting consumer spending patterns. Avery and Checkpoint both continued to post organic growth, but more than offset by a modest decline in the CCL Segment and the pass through of energy, freight and raw materials deflation at Innovia. All-in, the Company posted $0.90 adjusted basic earnings per Class B share (3) compared to $0.94 in the 2022 second quarter."

Mr. Martin continued, "Sales declined 3.0% organically in the CCL Segment as certain end markets softened compared to the exceptional double digit growth recorded in the second quarter of 2022. Home and Personal Care results were stable as strong markets in Latin America and robust performance at CCL Container offset significantly lower demand for labels and tubes in North America, while profitability declined in Asia and Europe. Healthcare & Specialty profitability declined on soft results in AgChem markets globally and start-up costs for new plants across the sector, partly offset by sales growth in Healthcare. Food & Beverage profitability was flat as moving costs to a major new sleeve facility in Austria offset foreign exchange gains. Weak global electronics markets eclipsed solid automotive performance, especially internationally, at CCL Design. High levels of banknote inventory built during the pandemic impacted reorder timing at CCL Secure only partly offset by strength in passport components boosted by robust travel demand. Avery delivered solid organic growth, as normalization of back-to-school shipments to the third quarter of 2023 did not occur as expected while direct-to-consumer channels delivered solid sales and profitability gains. Checkpoint MAS results improved in all regions compared to a soft prior year, while apparel label sales moderated as retailers managed inventories, although profitability improved on strong RFID demand and foreign exchange gains. Lower resin, freight and energy costs drove solid sequential profit gains at Innovia with comparative progress held by the impact of continued weak volume conditions in the pressure sensitive label materials industry in North America and Europe. The new EcoFloat facility in Poland reached breakeven for the quarter as these films gained sustainability traction with customers."

Mr. Martin added, "Foreign currency translation had a positive $0.05 impact on earnings per Class B share for the second quarter of 2023. At today's Canadian dollar exchange rates, currency translation would be a tailwind, if sustained, for the third quarter of 2023."

Mr. Martin concluded, "The Company finished the quarter with a strong balance sheet and robust liquidity. The Company's consolidated leverage ratio (5) of 1.24 times Adjusted EBITDA (2) , $737.8 million of cash-on-hand and US$0.9 billion undrawn capacity on its syndicated revolving credit facility leave us well placed to fund global expansion initiatives. The Board of Directors declared the quarterly dividend at $0.2650 per Class B non-voting share and $0.2625 per Class A voting share, payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2023, to be paid on September 29, 2023."

Non-IFRS Measures

(1) Operating income and operating income margin are key non-IFRS financial measures used to assist in understanding the profitability of the Company's business units. Operating income is defined as earnings before corporate expenses, net finance cost, goodwill impairment loss, earnings in equity accounted investments, restructuring and other items, and taxes. Operating income margin, also known as return on sales, is defined as operating income over sales.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a critical non-IFRS financial measure used extensively in the packaging industry and other industries to assist in understanding and measuring operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is also considered as a proxy for cash flow and a facilitator for business valuations. This non-IFRS financial measure is defined as earnings before net finance cost, taxes, depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment loss, non-cash acquisition accounting adjustments to inventory, earnings in equity accounted investments and restructuring and other items. Calculations are provided below to reconcile operating income to Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that this is an important measure as it allows management to assess the ongoing business without the impact of net finance cost, depreciation and amortization and income tax expenses, as well as non-operating factors and one-time items. As a proxy for cash flow, it is intended to indicate the Company's ability to incur or service debt and to invest in property, plant and equipment, and it allows management to compare the business to those of the Company's peers and competitors that may have different capital or organizational structures. Adjusted EBITDA is tracked by financial analysts and investors to evaluate financial performance and is a key metric in business valuations. It is considered an important measure by lenders to the Company and is included in the financial covenants included in the senior notes and bank lines of credit.

(3) Adjusted basic earnings per Class B share is an important non-IFRS measure to assist in understanding the ongoing earnings performance of the Company excluding items of a one-time or non-recurring nature. It is not considered a substitute for basic net earnings per Class B share but it does provide additional insight into the ongoing financial results of the Company. This non-IFRS financial measure is defined as basic net earnings per Class B share excluding gains on business dispositions, goodwill impairment loss, non-cash acquisition accounting adjustments to inventory, restructuring and other items, and tax adjustments.
