2024 Second Quarter Highlights:

Generated net sales of ~$329 million and a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $15.8 million
Delivered $25.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA, an $8.3 million increase over Q2 2023
Achieved increased EBITDA over Q2 2023 in Composite Fibers and Spunlace by $4.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively, offset by lower EBITDA in Airlaid Materials by $2.3 million

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glatfelter Corporation (NYSE:GLT), a leading global supplier of engineered materials, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2024 and provided an update on progress of its proposed merger with the majority of Berry's Global Health, Hygiene and Specialties segment to include its Global Nonwovens and Films ("HHNF") business.

"During the second quarter we grew EBITDA by over $8 million compared to the prior-year quarter and delivered strong year-over-year gains for our Spunlace and Composite Fiber segments," said Thomas Fahnemann, President & CEO of Glatfelter. "In Spunlace, we continued to build upon our recent quarterly earnings momentum, generating $5.6 million in EBITDA during the second quarter, an increase of $3.4 million compared to prior year Q2. We have now repositioned this segment for continued growth and I am confident our turnaround efforts have created sustainable earnings that will allow Spunlace to contribute to the new organization post-merger."

"The European markets and consumer demand still pose a challenge to our business. Composite Fibers delivered ~$5 million of EBITDA growth over the prior year and this segment is poised to benefit from recent pricing actions aimed at offsetting continued inflation. In Airlaid Materials, although earnings were lower year-over-year, we remain focused on optimizing product mix and improving price-cost gap to effectively manage the segment's ongoing profitability."

"Overall, our results are trending in the right direction relative to twelve months ago. Despite continued volatile market conditions, I remain confident in our ability to deliver on our earnings growth for the year. As we advance the work to complete our merger with Berry's HHNF business, we remain focused on serving our customers and leveraging the benefits from the investments we made throughout our business over the past 18 months to create value for all Glatfelter stakeholders."

Update on Merger with Berry's HHNF Business

As previously announced on February 7, 2024, we entered into certain definitive agreements with Berry Global Group, Inc. ("Berry") for Berry to spin-off and merge the HHNF business with Glatfelter in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction that will create Magnera, a leading, publicly-traded company in the specialty materials industry. In June, the Company reported the achievement of all required approvals and clearances under competition and foreign direct investment laws. Also, Berry received a favorable private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regarding the qualification of the spin-off and the merger as tax-free transactions under the Internal Revenue Code. The transaction is subject to additional customary closing conditions, including approval by Glatfelter shareholders. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024.

Favorable Settlement of Legal Dispute Related to Former Specialty Papers Business

In August 2024, we reached a settlement in principle of a legal dispute with a manufacturer for equipment supplied and installed at our former Specialty Papers business. Under the terms of the sale agreement of our Specialty Papers business in 2018, we retained the right to any recoveries from the resolution of this matter. Under the terms of this settlement, we will be paid $6.5 million in monthly installments of approximately $1.1 million beginning in September 2024. We expect to recognize a $6.5 million gain, less applicable legal fees, in the quarter ended September 30, 2024, which will be included in discontinued operations.

Airlaid Materials

	Three months ended June 30,
Dollars in thousands	2024			2023			Change

Tons shipped (metric)		37,795			39,246			(1,451	)	(3.7	)%
Net sales	$	130,584		$	152,511		$	(21,927	)	(14.4	)%
Operating income		7,505			9,726			(2,221	)	(22.8	)%
EBITDA		15,107			17,363			(2,256	)	(13.0	)%
EBITDA %		11.6	%		11.4	%

Airlaid Materials' second quarter net sales decreased $21.9 million in the year-over-year comparison mainly driven by lower selling prices from cost pass-through arrangements and lower energy surcharges in Europe as both raw materials and energy input costs declined compared to last year. Shipments were 3.7% lower driven by declines in the hygiene categories primarily due to pricing actions taken in 2023 to retain margins as well as lower volumes in the wipes category related to shipment timing. Currency translation was unfavorable by $0.7 million.

Airlaid Materials' second quarter EBITDA of $15.1 million was $2.3 million lower when compared to the second quarter of 2023. Selling price decreases for pass-through contracts and lower energy surcharges were a combined $13.0 million, but were more than fully offset by lower raw material and energy costs of $14.2 million. Lower shipments primarily in the hygiene and wipes categories negatively impacted results by approximately $0.8 million. Operations were unfavorable by $2.2 million mainly due to lower production of approximately 3,800 metric tons to manage inventory levels. Currency and related hedging negatively impacted earnings by $0.5 million.

Composite Fibers

	Three months ended June 30,
Dollars in thousands	2024			2023			Change

Tons shipped (metric)		25,735			24,966			769		3.1	%
Net sales	$	117,215		$	125,725		$	(8,510	)	(6.8	)%
Operating income		6,031			898			5,133		571.6	%
EBITDA		9,695			4,795			4,900		102.2	%
EBITDA %		8.3	%		3.8	%

Composite Fibers' net sales were $8.5 million lower in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the year-ago quarter due to lower selling prices of $7.5 million. Shipments were higher 3.1% largely driven by the composite laminates and food and beverage categories. Currency translation was unfavorable by $1.3 million.

Composite Fibers had EBITDA for the second quarter of $9.7 million compared with $4.8 million EBITDA in the second quarter of 2023. Price-cost gap continued to trend positive this quarter as the decrease in input prices paid for raw materials, energy, freight, and packaging were more favorable than selling price declines, resulting in earnings improvement of $0.9 million. Shipments were higher primarily in the food and beverage and composite laminate categories and overall improved income by $2.2 million. Operations were favorable by $1.7 million, mainly driven by higher inclined wire production. The impact of currency and related hedging positively impacted earnings by $0.1 million.

Spunlace

	Three months ended June 30,
Dollars in thousands	2024			2023			Change

Tons shipped (metric)		15,937			15,191			746	4.9	%
Net sales	$	82,197		$	79,420		$	2,777	3.5	%

EBITDA		5,587			2,162			3,425	158.4	%
EBITDA %		6.8	%		2.7	%

Spunlace's net sales were $2.8 million higher in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the year-ago quarter, mainly driven by higher year-over-year shipments of 4.9%, but partially offset by lower selling prices of $2.2 million due to cost pass-through arrangements. Currency translation was slightly unfavorable by $0.3 million.

Spunlace EBITDA was higher by $3.4 million compared to the same period last year. Lower selling prices and energy surcharges were more than offset by lower raw material and energy costs, resulting in earnings improvement of $1.9 million. Higher shipments improved operating income by approximately $0.8 million. Operations were favorable by $1.1 million mainly driven by higher production to meet customer demand. Currency negatively impacted earnings by $0.4 million.

Other Financial Information

The amount of operating expense not allocated to a reporting segment in the Segment Financial Information totaled $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared with $19.8 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding the items identified to present "adjusted earnings," unallocated expenses for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $1.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2023 mainly driven by a loss recovery settlement with a supplier for faulty material supplied to Glatfelter in 2022.

In the second quarter of 2024, our U.S. GAAP pre-tax loss from continuing operations totaled $12.8 million and we recorded an income tax provision of $3.0 million, which primarily related to the tax provision for foreign jurisdictions, reserves for uncertain tax positions, and valuation allowances for domestic and foreign jurisdiction losses for which no tax benefit could be recognized. The comparable amounts in the same quarter of 2023 were a pre-tax loss of $30.2 million and an income tax provision of $6.4 million.

Balance Sheet and Other Information

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes measures of earnings before the effects of certain specifically identified items, which are referred to as adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP measures. The Company uses non-GAAP adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA to supplement the understanding of its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings is meant to present the financial performance of the Company's core operations, which consist of the production and sale of engineered materials. EBITDA is a measure used by management to assess our operating performance and is calculated using income (loss) from continuing operations and excludes interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated using EBITDA and further excludes certain items management considers to be unrelated to the Company's core operations. Management and the Company's Board of Directors use non-GAAP adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of the Company's fundamental business in relation to prior periods and established business plans. For purposes of determining adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, the following items are excluded:

Strategic initiatives. These adjustments primarily reflect professional and legal fees and other costs incurred which are directly related to evaluating and executing certain strategic initiatives including costs associated with the Berry HHNF merger.
Turnaround Strategy costs. This adjustment reflects costs incurred in connection with the Company's Turnaround Strategy initiated in 2022 under its new chief executive officer to drive operational and financial improvement. These costs are primarily related to professional services fees and employee separation costs.
Ober-Schmitten divestiture. This adjustment reflects employee separation costs and professional and other costs directly associated with the closure of the Ober-Schmitten, Germany facility.
COVID-19 ERC recovery. This adjustment reflects the benefit recognized from employee retention credits claimed under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES") Act and the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and professional services fees directly associated with claiming this benefit.

Unlike net income determined in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect all charges and gains recorded by the Company for the applicable period and, therefore, does not present a complete picture of the Company's results of operations for the respective period. However, non-GAAP adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA provide a measure of how the Company's core operations are performing, which management believes is useful to investors because it allows comparison of such operations from period to period. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA % is the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

Although the Company provides guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, it is not able to provide guidance for net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of the composition of net income, including income tax expense, are not predictable, making it impractical for us to provide guidance on net income or to reconcile our Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information regarding net income, which could be material to future results.
