Rhea-AI Summary
Phibro Animal Health Corporation (PAHC) announced its Q2 financial results, showing a 2% increase in net sales to $249.9 million and a 5% decrease in adjusted EBITDA to $29.5 million. The company affirmed its fiscal year 2024 guidance for net sales and adjusted EBITDA, but updated its guidance for net income and diluted EPS, reflecting recent developments such as expenses for Brazil employment taxes and foreign currency losses.
Positive
  • Net sales increased by 2% to $249.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 5% to $29.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
  • The company affirmed its fiscal year 2024 guidance for net sales and adjusted EBITDA.
  • The company updated its fiscal year 2024 guidance for net income and diluted EPS, reflecting recent developments such as expenses for Brazil employment taxes and foreign currency losses.
Negative
  • Net income decreased by 55% to $12 million to $17 million for fiscal year 2024.
  • Diluted EPS decreased by 56% to $0.30 to $0.42 for fiscal year 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 3% to $106 million to $112 million for fiscal year 2024.

The recent financial results and updated guidance from Phibro Animal Health Corporation suggest a mixed performance with some positive growth in net sales but a notable decrease in net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS). The growth in net sales, particularly in the Animal Health segment, is a positive indicator of demand resilience and successful product introductions in the market. However, the decline in net income and diluted EPS, including a significant decrease in forecasted net income and diluted EPS for fiscal year 2024, could be concerning for investors. The updated guidance indicating a 55% decline in net income and a 56% decline in diluted EPS year-over-year is particularly stark.

These financial metrics are crucial for evaluating the company's profitability and operational efficiency. The higher variable interest rates and increased debt levels that led to a rise in net interest expense reflect broader economic conditions that may affect other companies in the sector. Furthermore, the foreign currency losses, notably from Argentina, highlight the risks associated with international operations and currency volatility. The adjusted EBITDA decrease, though modest, suggests some pressure on operational efficiency. In the longer term, strategic investments and new product introductions may enhance the company's competitive position, but the immediate impact on profitability and the stock price could be negative.

Analyzing the performance of Phibro's different segments provides insight into the company's strategic positioning. The Animal Health segment's net sales growth of 6% is promising, driven by international demand and new vaccine product introductions in Latin America. This indicates a successful expansion in emerging markets and a potential for future growth. However, the decrease in nutritional specialty products sales due to lower domestic dairy demand could be a sign of market saturation or competitive pressure in the U.S.

The decline in the Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products segments, both in net sales and gross profit, reflects challenges such as unfavorable product mix and raw material cost increases. This suggests potential supply chain inefficiencies or pricing pressures that could impact the company's market share and profitability in these areas. The company's ability to navigate these challenges and improve performance in the second half of the year, as indicated in the commentary, will be critical for investor confidence.

The $4.2 million cost from an unfavorable litigation result related to Brazil employment taxes is a significant one-time expense that adversely affected the company's financials. This highlights the legal and regulatory risks associated with international business operations. The litigation cost, while non-recurring, may raise concerns about the company's risk management practices and the potential for similar issues in other jurisdictions. Additionally, the increase in the effective income tax rate due to an unfavorable mix of pre-tax income and related tax provisions illustrates the complexity of tax management in a multinational corporation. The improvement in the adjusted effective income tax rate, however, suggests that recent global tax structuring efforts may yield benefits in tax efficiency going forward.

TEANECK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Phibro Animal Health Corporation (Nasdaq: PAHC) (“Phibro” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended December 31, 2023 and its updated financial guidance for the year ending June 30, 2024.

COMMENTARY

“I am pleased that we once again have delivered very strong top line growth in our core Animal Health segment, with 6% net sales growth as compared to the same quarter last year. Equally important, our Adjusted EBITDA growth in this segment grew at a similar pace, as we were led by the growth of high value new product introductions in our vaccine product line,” said Jack Bendheim, Phibro’s Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

Jack continued, “We expect continuing growth in our Animal Health business in the second half of the year. We also expect to see significant improvement in our Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products segments in the second half of the year, as we work through inventory imbalances and as we see a rebound in demand.”

Jack added, “I am very excited to welcome Glenn David to Phibro as Chief Financial Officer, as we recently announced. Glenn brings over 30 years of experience in commercial and financial leadership roles, including a wealth of knowledge in the animal health industry. He brings the capabilities needed to play a key role in Phibro’s future success and to bring value to our shareholders.”

QUARTERLY RESULTS

Net sales

Net sales of $249.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased $5.3 million, or 2%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. Animal Health increased $9.3 million. Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products decreased $0.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Animal Health

Net sales of $173.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased $9.3 million, or 6%. Net sales of MFAs and other increased $4.8 million, or 5%, due to increased demand for our MFAs in international regions and for our processing aids used in the ethanol fermentation industry. Net sales of nutritional specialty products decreased $2.4 million, or 6%, mostly due to lower domestic dairy demand. Net sales of vaccines increased $7.0 million, or 31%, primarily due to poultry product introductions in Latin America, plus an increase in domestic demand.

Mineral Nutrition

Net sales of $61.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, decreased $0.3 million, or less than 1%, primarily due to declines in average selling prices and some reduction in sales volume.

Performance Products

Net sales of $15.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, decreased $3.7 million, or 19%, driven by decreased demand for personal care product ingredients and industrial chemicals.

Gross profit

Gross profit of $78.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased $1.2 million, or 2%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. Gross margin decreased 10 basis points to 31.5% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to 31.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, due to decreased sales and unfavorable product mix in Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products.

Animal Health gross profit increased $4.1 million, primarily driven by higher sales volume and favorable product mix. Mineral Nutrition gross profit decreased $1.0 million, driven by lower sales volume and an increase in raw material costs. Performance Products gross profit decreased $1.6 million as a result of lower product demand and an increase in raw material costs. Acquisition-related cost of goods sold reduced gross profit by $0.3 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $62.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased $1.4 million, or 2%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. SG&A for the three months ended December 31, 2023, included a $4.2 million cost for an unfavorable litigation result related to Brazil employment taxes paid from January 2013 through December 2015, an additional $0.3 million true-up to the pension settlement cost and $0.1 million for stock-based compensation. SG&A for the three months ended December 31, 2022, included $6.6 million of environmental remediation costs. Excluding these items, SG&A increased $3.4 million, or 6%.

Animal Health SG&A increased $2.3 million, primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs to support increased demand in Latin America and Asia Pacific. Mineral Nutrition and Performance Products SG&A was comparable to the prior year. Corporate costs increased by $1.4 million, driven by the planned increase in strategic investments.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net of $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased by $0.8 million, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, as a result of higher variable interest rates and slightly increased debt levels.

Foreign currency losses (gains), net

Foreign currency losses, net for the three months ended December 31, 2023, were $7.5 million, as compared to $(0.1) million of net gains for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Current period losses were driven by fluctuations in certain currencies related to the U.S. dollar, including a major devaluation in Argentina.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes was $2.3 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rates were 64.3% and 40.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased due to an unfavorable mix of pre-tax income and related tax provisions in the various jurisdictions where we have operations and the relatively greater effect of certain items such as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income on reduced pre-tax income.

Net income

Net income of $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, decreased $5.9 million, as compared to net income of $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Operating income decreased $0.1 million, driven by higher SG&A, offset by favorable gross profit. Gross profit increased as a result of higher product demand in the Animal Health segment. SG&A included a $4.2 million cost for an unfavorable litigation result related to Brazil employment taxes paid from January 2013 through December 2015. Interest expense, net increased $0.8 million and foreign currency exchange resulted in increased losses of $7.6 million. Income tax expense increased by $2.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA of $29.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, decreased $1.5 million, or 5%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. Animal Health Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.2 million due to gross profit from increased sales, partially offset by higher SG&A. Mineral Nutrition Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.9 million, driven by lower gross profit. Performance Products Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.5 million due to lower product demand and unfavorable product mix. Corporate expenses increased $1.3 million, driven by increased strategic investments.

Adjusted provision for income taxes

The adjusted provision for income taxes was $4.9 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The adjusted effective income tax rates were 26.7% and 34.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The improvement in our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was driven by a favorable mix of pre-tax income and the benefit of recently implemented global tax structuring.

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income of $13.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, decreased $0.3 million, or 2%, as compared to the prior year. Increased adjusted gross profit, driven by sales growth, was offset by higher adjusted SG&A and higher adjusted interest expense, net, with a partial benefit from a reduced adjusted provision for income taxes. Adjusted SG&A increased due to strategic investments and increased employee-related costs and adjusted interest expense, net, increased due to higher variable interest rates.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share

Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.33 for the quarter, a decrease of $0.01, or 2% as compared to the adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.34 in the prior year.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOWS

  • Free cash flow was $37.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023
  • 4.4x gross leverage ratio as of December 31, 2023

FISCAL YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Our affirmed or updated fiscal year 2024 financial guidance is as shown in the table below. Comparisons are to the prior fiscal year and year-over-year percentages are calculated using the midpoint of the guidance ranges.

  • Net sales of $980 million to $1.020 billion, growth of 2%, affirmed

Non-GAAP Financial Information: We use non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow to assess and analyze our operational results and trends and to make financial and operational decisions. Management uses adjusted EBITDA as its primary operating measure. We report adjusted net income to portray the results of our operations prior to considering certain income statement elements. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors because they provide greater transparency regarding our operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this communication should not be considered alternatives to measurements required by GAAP, such as net income, operating income and earnings per share, and should not be considered measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this communication and/or our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We are not providing a reconciliation of forward-looking guidance of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, certain of the items required for a reconciliation; accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Internet Posting of Information: We routinely post information that may be important to investors in the “Investors” section of our website at www.pahc.com. We encourage investors and potential investors to consult our website regularly for important information about us.
