Management Commentary

“We started the year off strong with a second consecutive quarter of record results as we continued to make significant progress with our turnaround strategy,” said Chris Hutter, president and CEO of Synalloy. “The pricing environment remained strong for both business segments and we excelled at expanding our sales funnel and integrating operations of our chemicals segment. The improvements we’re in the process of making create a more efficient operating structure, allowing us to better capitalize on the dynamics within our end markets.

“Looking at the balance of the year, we are in a strong position to continue executing on the priorities we’ve laid out. While the macro-environment remains dynamic, we have confidence in the steps we’ve taken to operate more efficiently and achieve our goal of maintaining competitiveness throughout all environments. We remain committed to driving long-term shareholder value and are pleased that our strong results position us well to continue to build a robust and valuable platform.”

1 The first quarter of 2022 included $7.5 million in net sales, $0.2 million in net income and $0.8 million in adjusted EBITDA from the acquisition of DanChem, which closed on October 22, 2021.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Net sales increased 67% to $116.2 million compared to $69.8 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by continued strong demand from end-markets across both business segments leading to higher average selling prices.

Gross profit increased significantly to $22.5 million, or 19.4% of net sales, compared to $8.7 million, or 12.5% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2021. Gross profit and gross margin continued to benefit from increased customer demand of higher margin products and a favorable surcharge market environment, offset by increased raw material and freight costs.

Net income increased significantly to $10.3 million, or $0.99 diluted earnings per share, compared to a net income of $1.1 million, or $0.12 diluted earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily a result of the continued strong net sales and commensurate gross profit performance.

Adjusted EBITDA increased significantly to $17.0 million compared to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin also improved 760 basis points to 14.6% compared to 7.0% in the prior year period.

Segment Results

MetalsNet sales in the first quarter of 2022 increased 60% to $88.5 million compared to $55.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. Operating income in the first quarter increased significantly to $14.5 million compared to $2.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter increased significantly to $16.4 million compared to $4.9 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of segment net sales, adjusted EBITDA improved 970 basis points to 18.5% compared to 8.8% in the first quarter of 2021.

Specialty ChemicalsNet sales in the first quarter of 2022 increased 90% to $27.7 million compared to $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. Operating income in the first quarter increased significantly to $2.4 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter increased significantly to $3.4 million compared to $1.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 210 basis points to 12.2% compared to 10.1% in the first quarter of 2021.

Forward looking statements can be identified through the use of words such as "estimate," "project," "intend," "expect," "believe," "should," "anticipate," "hope," "optimistic," "plan," "outlook," "should," "could," "may" and similar expressions. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those identified below, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated: adverse economic conditions, including risks relating to the impact and spread of and the government’s response to COVID-19; inability to weather an economic downturn; the impact of competitive products and pricing; product demand and acceptance risks; raw material and other increased costs; raw material availability; financial stability of the Company’s customers; customer delays or difficulties in the production of products; loss of consumer or investor confidence; employee relations; ability to maintain workforce by hiring trained employees; labor efficiencies; risks associated with acquisitions; environmental issues; negative or unexpected results from tax law changes; inability to comply with covenants and ratios required by the Company’s debt financing arrangements; and other risks detailed from time-to-time in Synalloy Corporation's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which filings are available from the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Financial statement information included in this earnings release includes non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is useful to investors in evaluating its results to determine the value of a company. An item is excluded in the measure if its periodic value is inconsistent and sufficiently material that not identifying the item would render period comparability less meaningful to the reader or if including the item provides a clearer representation of normalized periodic earnings. The Company excludes in Adjusted EBITDA two categories of items: 1) Base EBITDA components, including: interest expense (including change in fair value of interest rate swap), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and 2) Material transaction costs including: goodwill impairment, asset impairment, gain on lease modification, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease cost, acquisition costs and other fees, proxy contest costs and recoveries, loss on extinguishment of debt, earn-out adjustments, realized and unrealized (gains) and losses on investments in equity securities and other investments, retention costs and restructuring & severance costs from net income.

Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional useful information to allow readers to compare the financial results between periods. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

1 The term Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes is useful to investors in evaluating its results to determine the value of a company. An item is excluded in the measure if its periodic value is inconsistent and sufficiently material that not identifying the item would render period comparability less meaningful to the reader or if including the item provides a clearer representation of normalized periodic earnings. The Company excludes in Adjusted EBITDA two categories of items: 1) Base EBITDA components, including: interest expense (including change in fair value of interest rate swap), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and 2) Material transaction costs including: goodwill impairment, asset impairment, gain on lease modification, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease cost, acquisition costs and other fees, proxy contest costs and recoveries, loss on extinguishment of debt, earn-out adjustments, realized and unrealized (gains) and losses on investments in equity securities and other investments, retention costs and restructuring & severance costs from net income. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent, refer to the Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.
