"I am proud of our global team for delivering another record year, despite the significant headwinds facing our largest end market," Materion President and CEO Jugal Vijayvargiya said. "Our strong performance reflects the power of our diverse megatrend aligned portfolio, which continues to open new pathways for growth, and the importance of our relentless focus on driving operational excellence."
"We have made remarkable progress expanding our margins, despite market softness," Vijayvargiya said. "These efforts, combined with the continued strength of our organic pipeline, leave us well-positioned to take advantage of the market recoveries as they develop."
FOURTH QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
Net sales for the quarter were $421.0 million, compared to $434.6 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales were $289.7 million for the quarter, down 4% from prior year due to significant semiconductor market weakness, partially offset by strength in aerospace & defense.
Operating profit for the quarter was $27.6 million and net income was $19.5 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $39.2 million and net income of $28.8 million, or $1.38 per share, in the prior year period.
Excluding special items3 primarily related to targeted cost improvement initiatives and precision clad strip start-up costs, adjusted EBITDA was $53.3 million in the quarter, compared to $55.6 million in the prior year period. The strong performance was driven mainly by focused operational execution and improved mix, despite softer volume.
Adjusted net income was $29.6 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $1.41 per diluted share, compared to $1.49 per share in the prior year period.
FULL-YEAR 2023 RESULTS
Net sales for the year were $1.67 billion, compared to $1.76 billion in the prior year. Value-added sales were $1.13 billion for the year, up 1% from prior year due to strength in aerospace & defense and precision clad strip, offset by softness in several key end markets.
Operating profit for the year was $136.4 million and net income was $95.7 million, or $4.58 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $119.8 million and net income of $86.0 million, or $4.14 per diluted share, in the prior year.
Excluding special items, adjusted EBITDA for the year was $217.7 million, compared to $196.0 million in the prior year. The increase was driven mainly by strong operational performance, including the targeted cost improvement initiatives, and improved mix driven by new business.
Adjusted net income was $118.0 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $5.64 per diluted share, an increase of 7% compared to $5.27 per diluted share in the prior year.
OUTLOOK
While we expect some of our key end markets to remain challenged in the near term due to macroeconomic conditions, we expect another year of record results driven by our organic pipeline and close customer partnerships. We believe these growth drivers, along with continued operational excellence and targeted cost improvement initiatives, will help drive earnings growth. With this, we are guiding to the range of $6.10 to $6.50 for full year 2024 adjusted earnings per share, an increase of 12% from prior year at the midpoint.
ADJUSTED EARNINGS GUIDANCE
It is not possible for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with potential insurance and litigation claims, legacy environmental costs, acquisition and integration costs, certain income tax items, or other non-routine costs that the Company adjusts in the presentation of adjusted earnings guidance. These items are dependent on future events that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the forecasted range of adjusted earnings guidance for the full year to a comparable GAAP range. However, items excluded from the Company's adjusted earnings guidance include the historical adjustments noted in Attachments 4 through 8 to this press release.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and osmium is passed through to customers and, therefore, the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through market metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs, and these costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales. | |||||||||||||||
The Company's pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company's results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company's intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals. | |||||||||||||||

In addition to presenting financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains financial measures, including operating profit, segment operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), net income, and earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis. As detailed in the above reconciliation and Attachment 6, we have adjusted the results for certain special items such as restructuring and cost reductions (which includes costs associated with temporarily idled facilities as a result of decreased demand), additional start up resources and scrap and merger and acquisition costs. Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in order to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
