PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGFS, AGFSW) (“AgroFresh” or the “Company”), a global leader in produce freshness solutions, announced today financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. AgroFresh became a stand-alone company upon closing of a transaction with The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) on July 31, 2015 (the “Business Combination”).
Thomas Macphee, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We successfully launched AgroFresh as an independent public company on July 31st, making a seamless transition as we continued to execute on our strategy to drive profitable growth. Our performance in the third quarter reflected solid increased penetration of SmartFresh™ for apples and other crops. This is consistent with both our growth strategy and our strong position with customers globally. While the smaller size of this year’s Northern Hemisphere apple crop is a headwind, our continued very strong profit margins and cash flow reflect an excellent start for AgroFresh.”
Margaret Loebl, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our high margin structure and cash generation are key tenets of the AgroFresh business model and effective cost management has contributed most specifically to the EBITDA growth in year-to-date 2015. Our confidence in our strategy and commitment to enhancing shareholder value was also reflected in the warrant repurchase program that we announced and, subsequent to the end of the third quarter, completed.”
Certain of the financial measures presented in the highlights and the sections that follow are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the information and tables under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a description of these non-GAAP financial measures, and the tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP results.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, net sales declined 0.4% on a constant currency basis compared to the prior year period. Reported net sales were $61.8 million compared to $66.2 million in the prior year period. The change in net sales on a constant currency basis was primarily driven by increased penetration of SmartFresh™, offset by a smaller apple crop in North America, a late harvest in Europe, and a change in our distributor relationship in South Korea that caused revenue to be recognized earlier in the year, which impacted comparative sales in the Asia Pacific region.
In the three months ended September 30, 2015, cost of sales was $46.2 million. Excluding the amortization of inventory step-up adjustments of $38.7 million, cost of sales was $7.5 million, down from $10.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in improved gross profit.
SG&A expenses were $14.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $8.1 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by expenses associated with the Business Combination. These expenses included $3.6 million of non-recurring costs related to accounting, consulting, human resources and other professional services, $1.9 million of transaction costs, and the amortization of $1.1 million of a $5.0 million upfront payment made to Dow pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement entered into on July 31, 2015.
On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period. Reported Adjusted EBITDA was $44.5 million in the three months ended September 30,2015, compared to $43.7 million in the prior year period. A net loss of ($16.5) million was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to net income of $24.5 million in the prior year period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, earnings per share was ($0.33) and non-GAAP earnings per share was $0.35, versus non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.52 in the prior year period, assuming the same number of shares in the prior period as reported on September 30, 2015.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net sales grew 5.6% on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior year period. Reported net sales were $112.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $113.7 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales on a constant currency basis was primarily driven by increased penetration and larger apple crops in New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia. This increase was partially offset by smaller apple crops in Chile, Brazil and North America.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, cost of sales was $56.3 million. Excluding the amortization of inventory step-up adjustments of $38.7 million, cost of sales was $17.6 million, down from $19.4 million in the prior year period, resulting in improved gross profit.
SG&A expenses were $29.5 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $23.4 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by expenses associated with the Business Combination. These expenses included $3.6 million of non-recurring costs related to accounting, consulting, human resources and other professional services, $1.9 million of transaction costs, and the amortization of $1.1 million of a $5.0 million upfront payment made to Dow pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement entered into on July 31, 2015.
On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.4% for the nine months ended September, 30 2015, compared to the prior year period. Reported Adjusted EBITDA was $62.5 million, compared to $59.1 million in the prior year period. A net loss of ($28.1) million was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to net income of $11.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, earnings per share was ($0.56) and non-GAAP earnings per share was $0.16 versus non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.30 in the prior year period, assuming the same number of shares in the prior period as reported on September 30, 2015.
Corporate and Other
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a warrant repurchase program totaling $2.5 million. For the period from August 1, 2015 through September 30, 2015, the Company repurchased $0.9 million of warrants. The remaining $1.6 million under such authorization was used to repurchase additional warrants after the close of the third quarter, and the program is now complete.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The balance sheet on September 30, 2015 reflected the effects of the consummation of the Business Combination on July 31, 2015 as compared to the AgroFresh Business on a carve-out basis as of December 31, 2014. The principal differences are the addition of long-term debt of $407.2 million, short-term debt of $4.3 million, and cash of $28.8 million, reflecting the financing of the Business Combination.
Anticipated future payments to Dow under the tax receivables agreement and the earn-out provisions contained in the stock purchase agreement that were entered into with Dow in connection with the Business Combination are reflected as other noncurrent liabilities on the September 30, 2015 balance sheet. The effects of acquisition accounting adjustments are reflected in goodwill of $41.6 million versus year-end goodwill of $156.0 million and intangibles of $829.2 million versus year-end intangibles of $97.0 million.
Inventories include a step up of $111.4 million as a result of purchase accounting, of which $38.7 million was amortized into cost of goods sold in the two months ended September 30, 2015. Inventory and accounts receivable at September 30, 2015, during the peak of the Company’s selling season, were higher than the year-end of 2014. Inventories, netting out the purchase accounting effects, were $16.8 million at September 30, 2015 versus $12.2 million at December 31, 2014. Accounts receivable were $84.1 million at September 30, 2015 versus $64.4 million at December 31, 2014.
In the statement of cash flows for the combined nine months through September 30, 2015, the Company generated cash from operating activities (excluding changes in the income taxes payable, while part of Dow) of $13.3 million as compared to $10.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The cash portion of the purchase price for the AgroFresh Business under the Business Combination of $625.5 million is reflected as investing activities, with the respective sources of financing consisting of, the existing restricted cash from the Company’s initial public offering, long-term debt raised of $425 million, before debt issuance costs of $12.9 million, and $50 million raised through private equity investments. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company made a $1.1 million debt amortization payment on its term loan, financed its insurance premium and repurchased $0.9 million of public warrants. The ending cash position for the Company at September 30, 2015 was $28.8 million.

The call will also be available as a live webcast with an accompanying slide presentation, which can be accessed on the “Events & Presentation” tab of the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website, www.agrofresh.com. All participants should call or access the website approximately 10 minutes before the conference begins. The webcast will be available for replay for at least 90 days.
A telephonic replay of this conference call will also be available by dialing (800) 585-8367 (US) and (404) 537-3406 (International) from 7:00 pm ET on November 16, 2015 until 11:59 pm ET on November 30, 2015.
Basis for Presentation
As a result of the Business Combination, the Company was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the AgroFresh Business, which is the business conducted prior to the closing of the Business Combination by Dow through a combination of wholly-owned subsidiaries and operations of Dow, including through AgroFresh Inc. in the United States, is the acquiree and accounting Predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation reflects the AgroFresh Business as the “Predecessor” for periods through July 31, 2015 (the “Closing Date”). Where we discuss results for the period ended September 30, 2015, we are referring to the combined results of the Predecessor for the month ending July 31, 2015 and the Successor for the two months ending September 30, 2015. On the Closing Date, the Company, which was formerly named Boulevard Acquisition Corp., was re-named AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. and is the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date, which includes consolidation of the AgroFresh Business subsequent to the Closing Date. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of net assets acquired. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the effective time of the Business Combination, the financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on different bases. The historical financial information of Boulevard Acquisition Corp. prior to the Business Combination has not been reflected in the Predecessor period financial statements as those amounts are not considered to be material.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures, in particular non-GAAP earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA and Constant Currency Net Sales that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are being presented because the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate the Company’s performance, seen as likely to enhance a reader’s understanding of the financial performance of the Company, are more indicative of operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a better comparison among fiscal periods, as the non-GAAP measures exclude items that are not considered core to the Company’s operations. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by the Company to evaluate its performance, and is calculated by the Company in a manner consistent with the definition of Consolidated EBITDA in the Company’s Credit Agreement.
The Company also reports sales performance using the non-GAAP financial measure of "constant currency" net sales. This measure provides information on the change in net sales assuming that foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior and current period. Likewise, the Company presents both Adjusted EBITDA and constant currency Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP measures. In discussing the Company’s operating results, the term currency exchange rates refers to the currency exchange rates the Company uses to convert into U.S. dollars the operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. The Company calculates the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the current period's currency exchange rates, and the comparable prior year period's currency exchange rates. When the Company refers to constant currency operating results, this means operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations. The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to understand better the Company’s underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations. The comparisons presented as constant currency rates reflect comparative local currency sales at the prior year's foreign exchange rates. The Company routinely evaluates its net sales performance at constant currency so that sales results can be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating a period-to-period comparison of the Company’s operational activities, and the Company believe that this presentation also provides useful information to investors for the same reason.
The Company does not intend for any of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release to be a substitute for any GAAP financial information. Readers of this press release should use these non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables at the end of this press release.
