Second Quarter 2023 Consolidated Results

Second quarter of 2023 net sales were $495.4 million, an increase of 1% compared to $492.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to an increase in selling price and product mix of approximately 11%, partially offset by a 10% decrease in sales volumes. The increase in selling price and product mix was primarily attributable to increases in selling prices in all segments to offset the significant inflationary pressures on the business. The decline in sales volumes was primarily attributable to a continuation of softer market conditions and the impact of the war in Ukraine in the EMEA segment.

The Company reported net income in the second quarter of 2023 of $29.3 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, compared to net income of $14.3 million or $0.80 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022. Excluding non-recurring and non-core items in each period, the Company's non-GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share were $34.8 million and $1.93 respectively in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $23.7 million and $1.32 respectively in the prior year. The Company generated adjusted EBITDA of $80.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 37% compared to $58.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in net sales and an improvement in gross margins compared to the prior year.

Andy Tometich, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "In the second quarter, Quaker Houghton once again successfully managed through a very challenging operating environment and achieved strong results. Despite market conditions, we have made meaningful progress improving the profitability of our business through our margin initiatives and delivered double-digit year-over-year earnings growth and solid cash flow.

Looking ahead, we expect the current uneven end market environment will persist at least through the end of the year. We will continue to execute on what we can control, including investing to strengthen the business, delivering value to customers, advancing our strategic initiatives, and delivering strong year-over-year growth in earnings and cash flow. I am confident in our strategy and believe these actions best position Quaker Houghton to deliver on our profitable growth potential."

Second Quarter 2023 Segment Results

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reorganized its executive management team to align with its new business structure. The Company's new structure includes three reportable segments: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; and (iii) Asia/Pacific. Prior to the Company's reorganization, the Company's historical reportable segments were: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; (iii) Asia/Pacific; and (iv) Global Specialty Businesses. Prior period information has been recast to align with the Company's business structure as of January 1, 2023.

The Company's three and six months of June 30, 2023 operating performance of each of its three reportable segments, (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; and (iii) Asia/Pacific, are further described below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023	2022	2023	2022
Net Sales *
Americas	$ 253,219	$ 235,809	$ 504,632	$ 447,900
EMEA	143,533	145,535	295,982	292,354
Asia/Pacific	98,692	111,044	194,978	226,305

*	Refer to the Segment Measures and Reconciliations section below for additional information

Net sales in the Americas segment increased in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to an increase in selling price and product mix, partially offset by a decline in sales volumes. Net sales in the EMEA segment were similarly a result of an increase in selling price and product mix and a favorable impact from foreign currency translation, offset by a decline in sales volumes. Net sales in the Asia/Pacific segment declined compared to the prior year quarter as a decline in sales volumes and a headwind from foreign currency translation more than offset an increase in selling price and product mix. The increase in selling price and product mix was primarily related to our value-based pricing initiatives implemented across all segments. The decline in sales volumes was similar across all segments and primarily reflects softer market conditions and the impact of the ongoing war in Ukraine in the EMEA segment.

Compared to the first quarter of 2023, net sales increased in the Americas and Asia/Pacific segments but declined in the EMEA segment. Sales volumes in the Asia/Pacific segment increased, remained stable in the Americas and declined in EMEA. Selling price and product mix was consistent with the prior quarter in all segments.

Operating earnings increased in all three segments in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year, primarily driven by an improvement in operating margins in all segments. Operating margins increased in the Americas segment and were similar in the Asia/Pacific and EMEA segments in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Cash Flow and Liquidity Highlights

Net cash provided by operating activities was $116.1 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $8.4 million in the first six months of 2022. The improvement in net operating cash flow primarily reflects a stronger operating performance and working capital management in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company's total gross debt was $885.1 million, and its cash and cash equivalents was $189.4 million, which resulted in net debt of approximately $695.7 million. The Company's net debt divided by its trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA was approximately 2.3x.

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations

The information included in this press release includes non-GAAP (unaudited) financial information that includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they enhance a reader's understanding of the financial performance of the Company, are indicative of future operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a comparison among fiscal periods, as the non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not considered indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company's operations. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our definitions of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, as discussed and reconciled below to the most comparable respective GAAP measures, may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies

The Company presents EBITDA which is calculated as net income attributable to the Company before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies. The Company also presents adjusted EBITDA which is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus certain items that are not considered indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company's operations. In addition, the Company presents non-GAAP operating income which is calculated as operating income plus or minus certain items that are not considered indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company's operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP operating margin are calculated as the percentage of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating income to consolidated net sales, respectively. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by investors, analysts, and peers in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.

Additionally, the Company presents non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as additional performance measures. Non-GAAP net income is calculated as adjusted EBITDA, defined above, less depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies, in each case adjusted, as applicable, for any depreciation, amortization, interest or tax impacts resulting from the non-core items identified in the reconciliation of net income attributable to the Company to adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income per diluted share as accounted for under the "two-class share method." The Company believes that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by investors, analysts, and peers in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.

As it relates to future projections for the Company as well as other forward-looking information described further above, the Company has not provided guidance for comparable GAAP measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is unable to determine with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such measures without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, certain non-recurring or non-core items the Company may record that could materially impact net income, as well as the impact of COVID-19. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period.

The Company's reference to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA within this press release refers to the twelve month period ended June 30, 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $297.2 million, which includes (i) the six months ended June 30, 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $159.0 million, as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations below, and (ii) the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 adjusted EBITDA of $257.2 million, as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations included in the Company's fourth quarter and full year 2022 results press release dated February 23, 2023, less (iii) the six months ended June 30, 2022 adjusted EBITDA of $118.9 million, as presented in the non-GAAP reconciliations below.

Certain of the prior period non-GAAP financial measures presented in the following tables have been adjusted to conform with current period presentation. The following tables reconcile the Company's non-GAAP financial measures (unaudited) to their most directly comparable GAAP (unaudited) financial measures (dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts):

(a)	Combination, integration and other acquisition-related (credits) expenses in 2022 included certain legal, financial, and other advisory and consultant costs incurred in connection with the Combination integration activities. These amounts also include expense associated with the Company's other recent acquisitions, including certain legal, financial, and other advisory and consultant costs incurred in connection with due diligence. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.5 million of other income due to changes in an indemnification asset related to the Combination. Similarly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded expenses of $0.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of other expenses due to changes in a Combination-related indemnification asset.

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events, including statements regarding the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia and Ukraine conflict, inflation, bank failures, higher interest rate environment, global supply chain constraints on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition, our expectations that we will maintain sufficient liquidity, remain in compliance with the terms of the Company's credit facility, expectation about future demand and raw material costs, and statements regarding the impact of increased raw material costs and pricing initiatives. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance, and business, including but not limited to the potential benefits of the Combination and other acquisitions, the impacts on our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain constraints, and our current and future results and plans and statements that include the words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan" or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements. A major risk is that demand for the Company's products and services is largely derived from the demand for its customers' products, which subjects the Company to uncertainties related to downturns in a customer's business and unanticipated customer production slowdowns and shutdowns, including as is currently being experienced by many automotive industry companies as a result of supply chain disruptions. Other major risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the primary and secondary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including actions taken in response to the pandemic by various governments, which could exacerbate some or all of the other risks and uncertainties faced by the Company, as well as inflationary pressures, including the potential for significant increases in raw material costs, supply chain disruptions, customer financial instability, rising interest rates and the potential of economic recession, worldwide economic and political disruptions, including the impacts of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the economic and other sanctions imposed by other nations on Russia, suspensions of activities in Russia by many multinational companies and the potential expansion of military activity, foreign currency fluctuations, significant changes in applicable tax rates and regulations, future terrorist attacks and other acts of violence. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the same business cycles as those experienced by our customers in the steel, automobile, aircraft, industrial equipment, and durable goods industries. Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company and its operations that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond our control. These risks, uncertainties, and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. All forward-looking statements included in this press release, including expectations about business conditions during 2023 and future periods, are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this press release, which may change. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
