Myers Industries Reports 2021 Q2 Results

Net sales increased $69 million, or 58.3% to $187.4 million.

Myers Industries has announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Net sales increased $69 million, or 58.3% to $187.4 million, including $30.9 million, or 26.1% from the Elkhart Plastics acquisition, compared with $118.4 million for the second quarter of 2020;
  • Net income per diluted share was $0.30, compared with $0.23 for the second quarter of 2020;
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.29, compared with $0.23 for the second quarter of 2020; and
  • Cash flow from operations was $14.7 million and free cash flow was $11.7 million, compared with $6.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020.

Myers Industries’ President and CEO, Mike McGaugh, said, “The team’s ability to strategically manage the dynamic macro environment over the past few months is indicative of our overall strong operational performance during the first half of 2021. We continued to see increased demand from our core end-markets, which led to higher volumes across our business. Despite strong volume growth, our second quarter results were impacted by continued raw material inflation, which did outpace our price increases. We’ve continued to take incremental pricing actions to offset these unprecedented increases in raw material costs.”

McGaugh added, “Additionally, we continue to make progress in achieving our ‘One Myers’ strategic vision. Earlier this week, we announced the acquisition of Trilogy Plastics which comes after the successful integration of the Elkhart business over the last nine months. We are very excited to welcome the Trilogy team to the Myers family and are eager to move forward together as a leading producer of high-quality molded plastic products. We believe this combination will bring additional opportunities in the rotational molding industry and allow us to continue to raise the standard of commercial excellence and customer service within our industry.”

McGaugh concluded, “We also recently unveiled our updated corporate brand identity. This new visual identity is another important step in our strategic transformation. We look forward to continuing to advance our culture towards our ‘One Myers’ initiative while further driving our values of integrity, optimism, customer focus and can-do spirit throughout our operations.”

Net sales for the second quarter of 2021 were $187.4 million, an increase of $69.0 million, or 58.3%, compared with $118.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, driven by increases in both the Material Handling and Distribution segments. Excluding the $30.9 million net sales impact from the Elkhart acquisition, organic net sales increased 26% due to higher volume/mix, 5% due to favorable price and 1% due to foreign currency exchange.

Gross profit increased $12.4 million, or 29.2% to $55 million, primarily due to the increased contribution from volume/mix and the Elkhart Plastics acquisition. Partially offsetting these contributions were higher raw material costs, primarily resin, which were not fully recovered by pricing actions and led to an unfavorable price-to-cost relationship for the quarter. As a result, gross margin was 29.4% compared with 36.0% for the second quarter of 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9.8 million, or 32.3% to $40.1 million, reflecting the Elkhart Plastics acquisition, higher salaries and incentive compensation and an increase in legal fees, partially offset by lower amortization expense. SG&A as a percentage of sales declined to 21.4% in the second quarter, compared with 25.6% in the same period last year. Net income per diluted share was $0.30, compared with $0.23 for the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.29, compared with $0.23 for the second quarter of 2020.

2021 Outlook

The Company updated its outlook for fiscal 2021, and currently forecasts:

  • Net sales growth in the mid 40% range, with approximately half due to the Elkhart and Trilogy acquisitions;
  • Diluted EPS in the range of $0.86 to $1.01; adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $0.90 to $1.05;
  • Capital expenditures to approximate $15 to $18 million; and
  • Effective tax rate to approximate 26%.
