November 1, 2018

Highlights:

Sales Increase 9 Percent to $464.1 Million
Earnings Per Share, Excluding Special Items, Up 7 Percent
Sequential Operating Margin Improvement Across All Segments

Debt Reduction of $30 Million in the Third Quarter

NEW YORK, Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) (“MTI” or “the Company”) today reported diluted earnings per share of $1.27, excluding special items, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared with earnings per share of $1.19 in the prior year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $1.18 compared with $1.17 in the prior year.

“We had a solid third quarter, executing on a number of fronts to position MTI for continued profitable growth,” said Douglas T. Dietrich, Chief Executive Officer. “We drove margins higher sequentially across all of our businesses, as we mitigated the impact of inflationary cost increases through pricing actions and strong operating performance. Additionally, we made progress on several growth initiatives, successfully integrated Sivomatic and further strengthened our balance sheet.”

Worldwide net sales increased 9 percent to $464.1 million. Operating income, as reported, was $68.2 million and represented 14.7 percent of sales. Operating income, excluding special items, was $68.8 million and represented 14.8 percent of sales, up from 13.9 percent in the second quarter.

Segment Information

Performance Materials and Specialty Minerals
Sales in the Minerals businesses, which include the Performance Materials and Specialty Minerals segments, grew 9 percent in the third quarter to $365.8 million. Operating income for the Minerals businesses was $56.8 million and represented 15.5 percent of sales.

Performance Materials segment sales increased 16 percent to $219.5 million. Metalcasting sales rose 6 percent due to higher volumes. Household, Personal Care & Specialty Products sales increased 69 percent, primarily driven by higher pet care revenue, including $23.3 million from the acquisition of Sivomatic, and increased European fabric care sales. Environmental Products sales rose 22 percent due to several large projects. These sales increases were partially offset by a 10 percent decrease in Building Materials and an 18 percent decrease in Basic Minerals. Operating income for the segment increased to $31.8 million primarily due to increased selling prices and higher volume, partially offset by higher raw material, logistics and energy costs. Sequentially, operating margins improved 50 basis points (BPS) to 14.5 percent of sales through price increases and operating efficiencies. The Performance Materials segment provides a wide range of bentonite-based and synthetic materials for industrial and consumer markets and for non-residential construction, environmental remediation and infrastructure projects worldwide.

Specialty Minerals segment sales, which consist of the Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) and Processed Minerals product lines, decreased 1 percent to $146.3 million, primarily due to lower Paper PCC sales. Operating income decreased to $25.0 million primarily due to previously announced paper machine shutdowns in North America, and higher logistics and energy costs. Contractual selling price increases in PCC and other price increases were implemented in the third quarter and will continue into 2019 to partially offset rising costs. Sequentially, operating margins improved 50 BPS to 17.1 percent of sales.

Worldwide sales of PCC, which is used mainly in the manufacturing processes of the paper industry, decreased 2 percent to $110.0 million. Higher sales in Asia were partially offset by reduced sales in North America due to customer paper machine closures in late 2017 and early 2018.

Sales of Processed Minerals products increased 4 percent to $36.3 million. Ground Calcium Carbonate sales grew 3 percent, driven by higher volumes in the construction market. Talc sales increased 5 percent due to higher volumes in the automotive and construction markets. Processed Minerals products are used in the building materials, polymers, ceramics, consumer products, paints and coatings, glass and other manufacturing industries.

Refractories and Energy Services
Sales in the Service businesses, which include the Refractories and Energy Services segments, grew 12 percent in the third quarter to $98.3 million. Operating income for the Service businesses was $12.6 million, and represented 12.8 percent of sales. Operating income, excluding special items, was $12.9 million and represented 13.1 percent of sales.

Refractories segment sales increased 15 percent to $79.1 million, driven by higher sales of refractory products. The Refractories segment operating income increased to $11.5 million and was 14.5 percent of sales, driven by higher prices from the recapture of increased raw material costs and higher refractory volume. The Refractories segment provides products and services primarily to the worldwide steel industry.

Energy Services segment sales increased 1 percent to $19.2 million, primarily driven by higher filtration activity. Operating income, excluding special items, decreased slightly to $1.4 million and was 7.3 percent of sales. Energy Services offers a range of patented technologies, products and services for off-shore filtration and well testing to the worldwide oil and gas industry.

	NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME


1)	For comparative purposes, the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2018, July 1, 2018 and October 1, 2017 each consisted of 91 days. The nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 consisted of 273 days and 274 days, respectively.

2)	To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items, for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2018, July 1, 2018 and October 1, 2017 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 and a reconciliation to reported earnings per share for such periods. The Company's management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.

3)	Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures. The following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2018, July 1, 2018 and October 1, 2017 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods. The Company's management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends and fund future business opportunities. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure. The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP operating income, excluding special items (acquisition-related transaction costs set forth in the above table), for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2018, July 1, 2018 and October 1, 2017, and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 constituting a reconciliation to GAAP operating income set forth above. The Company's management believe these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.
