Innophos Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2010 Results


CRANBURY, N.J., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Innophos Holdings, Inc. , a leading specialty phosphates producer in North America, today announced its financial results for the first quarter 2010.

First Quarter Results -- Net sales for the first quarter 2010 were $169 million, a 15% increase over fourth quarter 2009. In comparison to first quarter 2009, sales were 11% lower on lower pricing offset by a 12% increase in volumes. -- Specialty Phosphates (excluding GTSP&Other) first quarter 2010 sales increased 8% sequentially on strong results in US/Canada and Mexico. Prices were 4% lower than fourth quarter 2009, well within the expected level of a 6% decline. Volumes were up 12% sequentially and up 19% on first quarter 2009. -- Operating income for the first quarter 2010 was $22 million, 15% higher than fourth quarter 2009 (excluding rock contract arbitration settlement costs) and the first sequential operating income improvement since the third quarter 2008. Lower selling prices partly offset by higher volumes versus the first quarter 2009 caused a $33 million year over year decline. -- Net income for the first quarter 2010 was $10 million or $0.47 per share (diluted), compared to $30 million or $1.39 per share (diluted) for the same period in 2009. -- Net debt increased as expected by $17 million to $130 million on higher working capital to support higher operating rates in Mexico. Following the close of the period, on April 15, 2010 Innophos Holdings, Inc. redeemed at par its remaining $56 million of outstanding notes due 2012 with on hand cash.

Randy Gress, CEO of Innophos, commented on the results, "I am pleased to report strong sequential earnings improvement in the quarter, arising primarily from encouraging ongoing volume growth. Results in US/Canada were particularly strong, with volumes up 12% sequentially. Mexico returned to profitability, and although its results were slightly below expectations, the business continued to make good progress in restoring its market position, with Mexico specialty phosphates sales up 12% sequentially. Overall, specialty phosphate volumes were up 19% year over year, and total company volumes were up 12%, the first year over year volume improvement the Company has achieved since 2007. Pricing also declined less than expected at 4% sequentially and we expect pricing to move up moderately in the second quarter. Finally, we made progress during the quarter toward diversifying phosphate rock sources for Mexico, including signing a new contract today with our first new strategic supplier."

Segment Results Reporting

Beginning with its second quarter 2010 Form 10-Q report, Innophos plans to change operating segments, reporting GTSP&Other separately to give better visibility for the Company's core specialty phosphates business in US/Canada and Mexico. Additional disclosure is included in this release for GTSP&Other. GTSP (granulated triple super phosphate) is a fertilizer produced as a co-product of the Mexico facility's acid purification process. Other products included in this classification include miscellaneous non-core product sales arising primarily in Mexico.

United States -- Volumes increased 21% year over year and 12% sequentially on strong demand for Specialty Salts&Specialty Acids. Selling prices decreased 28% year over year and 4% sequentially. First quarter 2010 net sales decreased 7% overall versus first quarter 2009 due to the noted volume and price variances. -- First quarter 2010 operating income, at $18 million, was flat sequentially and $23 million below the first quarter 2009 when selling prices reached their peak. Mexico -- Net sales increased 38% sequentially (8% for specialty phosphates) on higher volumes but decreased 22% in the first quarter 2010 versus the prior year period on lower selling prices. -- GTSP&Other sales increased to $12 million on higher prices and improved volume versus the $2 million recorded in the fourth quarter 2009, although this was still 30% below sales for the same period in 2009. -- Mexico returned to profitability from a fourth quarter 2009 loss, recording $2 million of operating income in the first quarter 2010 compared to $8 million for the first quarter 2009. Although volume improvement continued, profitability fell short of earlier forecasts due to several factors including a delay in GTSP shipments to the second quarter 2010 and higher costs from an earlier than anticipated restart of idled operating equipment. -- GTSP&Other operating income for the first quarter 2010 was break-even compared to a loss of $2 million for the same period in 2009. Canada -- Volumes increased 21% year over year and 12% sequentially on strong demand for Specialty Salts&Specialty Acids. Selling prices decreased 4% sequentially and 25% year over year which led to a 4% overall sales decrease for first quarter 2010 versus first quarter 2009. -- First quarter 2010 operating income of $2 million showed a slight improvement sequentially but represented a $5 million decline versus first quarter 2009 peak selling prices. Recent Trends and Outlook

First quarter 2010 results confirmed the encouraging volume trend seen in the second half of 2009. Specialty phosphates sequential volumes were up 12% in both US/Canada and in Mexico as that operation regained market position. Overall, the 12% specialty phosphate volume increase represented the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential volume improvement. Selling prices declined only 4% sequentially, and management expects to see overall average specialty phosphates pricing to improve slightly from this point.

Specialty phosphate volume is expected to continue to grow for the 2010 second quarter at a rate of 5% to 10% versus the first quarter 2010, with Mexico expected to continue showing strong improvement.

GTSP&Other volume increased significantly in the 2010 first quarter compared to the fourth quarter 2009 primarily as greater production of purified phosphoric acid resulted in higher co-product production. Selling prices rose consistent with market increases for phosphate fertilizers, leading to break-even operating income in the first quarter 2010 compared to a loss of $2 million in the same period 2009. Volume increases are expected to continue for the balance of the year, although timing of large orders will lead to variability in any individual quarter's results. Prices are expected to moderate from levels at the end of the 2010 first quarter, though average pricing for the second quarter should be favorable versus the first.

A portion of U.S. raw material costs reset down in January 2010 as previously disclosed, reflecting market conditions at the beginning of the year. The $8 million per quarter benefit from this reset will affect gross profit from the second quarter onward. Since the beginning of the year, commodity fertilizer and related raw material prices such as sulfur and ammonia have increased, and Innophos has responded with price increases in March that are expected to offset these increased raw material costs.

The lagged nature of some of Innophos' supply contracts means that a portion of Innophos costs towards the end of the first quarter and into the second quarter are advantaged versus current market raw material prices. Some moderation in market prices is expected to occur before Innophos' contracts reset for 2011. Based on these expectations, management currently estimates that an approximate $5 million per quarter cost increase from higher contract raw material prices will phase in beginning with the fourth quarter 2010 and take full effect in the second quarter 2011.

Significant progress was made on arrangements for future multi-sourced rock supply to the Mexican facility with a contract signed with one new strategic supplier and a trial shipment received from a second new supplier. Discussions are continuing with other potential strategic suppliers.

Capital expenditures for 2010 are expected to be at the upper end of the of the previously announced $30 to $35 million range. Major items of expenditure are anticipated to include: the Mexican food grade acid expansion (completed during the first quarter); incremental improvements to existing Mexican food grade salts capability; completion of the ERP project; additional debottlenecking and expansion of food grade salts capability in Canada and various U.S. locations; and finally, investment to enhance Mexico's capability to store, handle and process multiple grades of rock consistent with the Company's supply chain diversification strategy as well as limited investment in evaluating our Mexican phosphate rock concessions.

Although net debt increased in the first quarter on higher working capital requirements, recent strong cashflow generation is expected to continue overall for the year. This will allow management to continue with its previously stated objectives of maintaining the dividend, pursuing several bolt-on acquisition projects and continuing to seek opportunities to optimize the cost and profile of remaining debt facilities.

CRANBURY, N.J., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Innophos Holdings, Inc. , a leading North American specialty phosphates producer, today announced plans for the expansion of its Nashville, Tennessee facility for the production of its specialty leavening acid CAL-RISE®. This expansion, which is due to be completed by mid-year 2011, doubles the current capacity for this specialty product. The project also further reinforces Innophos' commitment to the Nashville Plant as one of its key manufacturing sites.

"Changes in marketing trends, specifically those resulting from sodium reduction throughout the food industry, have contributed to increased demand for Innophos' calcium based leavening products. CAL-RISE® is a unique leavening acid which allows manufacturers of baked goods to reach up to a 25% reduction in sodium levels and at the same time, add much needed calcium, in a cost effective manner," commented Joseph Golowski, VP - Specialty Phosphates Business.

This $4.5 million project reflects Innophos' commitment to growth and continued success in developing new products through research and development targeted at emerging market demands.

CRANBURY, N.J., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Innophos Holdings, Inc. announced it had learned that the Mexican Supreme Court affirmed an appellate court ruling upholding resolutions of the Mexican National Waters Commission, or CNA, requiring the Company's Mexican subsidiary, Innophos Fosfatados S.A. de C.V., to pay higher water duties for the 1998-2002 period. Innophos said the liability, net of income taxes, amounted to approximately $20 million at current exchange rates and reiterated that it was fully indemnified for it by Rhodia, S.A. and affiliates under agreements by which Innophos purchased its business from those parties in 2004. Rhodia's indemnity obligation was previously confirmed by New York's highest court. Innophos stated it intended to record the liability and an off-setting receivable for the indemnity, resulting in no net charge.

Innophos said the next step in the 1998-2002 case would be for the CNA to issue new resolutions consistent with the court ruling, and, once those resolutions became effective, to make payment. Innophos said its representatives were working with Rhodia representatives to coordinate required payments in a timely manner.

The Company also announced that, as a result of the latest court decision, it was taking an earnings charge in the 2010 third quarter, net of taxes, of $12 million for a related, previously disclosed contingent liability for higher water duties for the period 2005 to present. That contingent liability is already the subject of an indemnity claim in pending New York State Supreme Court proceedings being pursued by Innophos against Rhodia for related losses.

Finally, Innophos added that, if future rates were set at the levels upheld in the court decision, annual pre-tax expenses for water at its Coatzacoalcos, Mexico facility could increase by approximately $1-2 million at current exchange rates, depending on capacity utilization.
