BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“All three of our businesses delivered on key financial and operational objectives during the second quarter,” said Michael Kuta, president and CEO. “These accomplishments led to consolidated sales and adjusted EBITDA that were above the high end of our guidance.”

“We made significant progress at Arcadia, our architectural building products business,” Kuta added. “While construction spending across its key markets remains weak, Arcadia’s sales of $69.7 million were better than anticipated, reflecting solid execution by the entire Arcadia organization.

“Arcadia’s sales results, combined with ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiencies and streamline its cost structure, helped fuel a significant rebound in margins. Second quarter gross margin of 33.2% was up 600-basis-points versus the first quarter and approached the 34.7% reported in last year’s second quarter, when Arcadia delivered its strongest gross margin since its December 2021 acquisition by DMC. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.8% as compared with 9.5% in the first quarter, and 20.8% in the year-ago second quarter.”

Second quarter sales at DynaEnergetics, DMC’s energy products business, were $76.2 million, down 2% sequentially and down 10% versus last year’s second quarter. The declines reflect softer demand in Dyna’s core U.S. onshore market, where well completions fell 4% sequentially following a 7% sequential drop in the first quarter, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Adjusted EBITDA margins were 11.5% versus 13.5% in the first quarter and 23.0% in the year-ago second quarter.

“We expect well completions will remain soft during the second half of 2024, and Dyna has adjusted its cost structure to align with anticipated activity levels,” Kuta said. “These adjustments, coupled with automation initiatives and product enhancements, are expected to drive improved EBITDA margins during the back half of the year.

“NobelClad, our composite metals business, reported sales of $25.2 million, up 2% versus last year’s second quarter, and down 6% sequentially. A favorable project mix led to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.7%, up from 21.9% in the first quarter and 21.8% in the year-ago second quarter. NobelClad’s order backlog increased to $64 million from $52 million at the end of the first quarter, reflecting the impact of a record order from the petrochemical industry. NobelClad is pursuing additional large order opportunities and is reporting continued strong demand for its Cylindra™ cryogenic transition joints.

“I am encouraged by the accomplishments at each of our businesses during the second quarter,” Kuta continued. “Arcadia’s execution is driving improved lead times and customer service, which is helping mitigate the impact of a weak market. Dyna remains the technology leader in the well perforating sector, and its operational excellence initiatives are expected to improve its profitability in the coming quarters. Meanwhile, NobelClad continues to extend its position as a leader in the global composite-metal manufacturing industry.”

Kuta added, “Our focus remains on evaluating options to drive improved value for DMC’s stockholders, and we look forward to providing an update on our efforts when appropriate.”

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures that we use in operational and financial decision making. Non-GAAP financial measures include the following:

• EBITDA: defined as net income (loss) plus net interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
• Adjusted EBITDA: excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the tables below).
• Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC Global Inc.: excludes the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the 40% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Arcadia Products.
• Adjusted EBITDA for DMC business segments: defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation, amortization, allocated stock-based compensation (if applicable), restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing operating performance.
• Adjusted net income (loss): defined as net income (loss) attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders prior to the adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share: defined as diluted earnings per share attributable to DMC Global Inc. stockholders (exclusive of adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest) plus restructuring expenses and asset impairment charges (if applicable) and, when appropriate, nonrecurring items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance.
• Net debt: defined as total debt less total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
• Free-cash flow: defined as cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities less net acquisitions of property, plant and equipment.

Management believes providing these additional financial measures is useful to investors in understanding the Company’s operating performance, including the effects of restructuring, impairment, and other nonrecurring charges, as well as its liquidity. Management typically monitors the business utilizing the above non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP results, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and certain management incentive awards are based, in part, on these measures. The presence of non-GAAP financial measures in this report is not intended to suggest that such measures be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, DMC’s GAAP information, and investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance.
