Materion Corporation Reports Record Third Quarter Results and
Updates Full Year 2022 Outlook
MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio – November 2, 2022 - Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN), a world leader in high performance advanced materials, today reported record third quarter financial results, updated 2022 earnings guidance and shared an update on key strategic initiatives.
Third Quarter 2022 Highlights
Net sales were $428.2 million; value-added sales increased 35% year over year to a record $290.4 million
Operating profit was $29.1 million; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization (EBITDA) was a record $48.8 million
Net income of $0.96 per diluted share; adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.31, an all-time record for the company

“I am extremely proud of our global team for making substantial progress on our many organic growth initiatives and for leading Materion to another record quarter of sales and earnings,” Jugal Vijayvargiya, Materion President and CEO said. “Although our bottom-line results fell short of our expectations due to some short-term headwinds and operational challenges, we are headed into the fourth quarter with good momentum. I remain confident that the benefit of our organic outgrowth efforts coupled with continued solid end market demand, will deliver even stronger results in the fourth quarter and position us well for 2023.”
THIRD QUARTER 2022 RESULTS
Net sales for the third quarter of 2022 were $428.2 million, compared to $388.0 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales of $290.4 million were a quarterly record, up 35% from the prior year. In addition to the benefit of the HCS-Electronic Materials acquisition, value-added sales were up 15% organically, excluding the impact of currency, driven by strong performance across several major end markets including semiconductor, industrial, aerospace and energy.
Operating profit for the third quarter was $29.1 million and net income was $20.0 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $21.2 million and net income of $18.2 million, or $0.88 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Excluding special items, detailed in the attached tables, adjusted EBITDA was $48.8 million in the third quarter, another quarterly record for the company, compared to $41.2 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher volume and favorable pricing, partially offset by short term unmitigated tantalum costs, a weaker mix within semiconductor, and lower yields from a large Performance Materials facility.
Adjusted net income was $27.3 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $1.31 per diluted share, an increase of 14% compared to $1.15 per share in the prior year period.
OUTLOOK
While we continue to expect strong end market demand and growth from our strategic initiatives, we are updating the 2022 adjusted earnings per share guidance to the range of $5.15 to $5.25 to adjust for the impact of the aforementioned headwinds. This updated range represents a ~30% increase from the prior year at the midpoint.
ADJUSTED EARNINGS GUIDANCE
It is not possible for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with potential insurance and litigation claims, legacy environmental costs, acquisition and integration costs, certain income tax items, or other non-routine costs that the Company adjusts in the presentation of adjusted earnings guidance. These items are dependent on future events that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the forecasted range of adjusted earnings guidance for the full year to a comparable GAAP range. However, items excluded from the Company's adjusted earnings guidance include the historical adjustments noted in Attachments 4 through 7 to this press release.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and osmium is passed through to customers and, therefore, the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through market metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs, and these costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales.

The Company’s pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company’s results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company’s intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals.

In addition to presenting financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains financial measures, including operating profit, segment operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), net income, and earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis. As detailed in the above reconciliation and Attachment 6, we have adjusted the results for certain special items such as restructuring and cost reductions, additional start up resources and scrap and merger and acquisition costs. Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in order to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.
