“Our fourth quarter capped off the most profitable year in our company's history," stated Mark Behrman, LSB’s President and CEO. “Our strategic commercial initiatives, optimizing our sales mix to maximize margins, combined with favorable positioning across our end markets, enabled us to capitalize on the robust pricing environment as evidenced by our selling prices in the fourth quarter. As a result, we delivered strong top and bottom-line growth for the quarter and full year. Additionally, we generated significant cash flow and further enhanced our liquidity and net leverage position, providing greater financial flexibility to pursue our multi-year growth plan.”

“LSB's transformation continued in 2022. In addition to $175 million in accretive share repurchases, we executed two secondary offerings for our largest shareholder, which allowed us to broaden our shareholder base, create more liquidity in our common stock and increase our profile with the investment community. We continued to invest significantly in our manufacturing assets, completing major turnarounds at both our El Dorado and Pryor facilities and have already seen the benefits from those investments. Lastly, with respect to our sustainability efforts, we launched our clean energy strategy, announcing a low carbon 'blue' ammonia project at our El Dorado facility and a zero carbon 'green' ammonia project at our Pryor facility."

Mr. Behrman continued, "We are excited about our opportunities in the coming year. While moderating from 2022 peak levels, selling prices for our products remain above historical averages and we expect to see an increase in corn and wheat acres planted this spring. As such, we expect another year of strong profitability and cash flow. We expect to make additional investments in our facilities as we progress towards our zero-safety incident and 95% on-stream rate goals and will continue to review using our cash to either reduce our debt or to repurchase additional stock. We also expect to formalize and announce plans to commence debottlenecking projects at one or more of our facilities, increasing our production capacity and enhancing margins in the coming years. Finally, we anticipate taking meaningful steps in our blue and green ammonia projects that will move us closer to our CO2 emission reduction goals, while at the same time, providing us with incremental profitability."

Mr. Behrman concluded, "We are highly enthusiastic about both our near-term and multi-year prospects for driving shareholder value through a variety of company-specific initiatives that are largely independent of commodity market pricing trends."

Comparison of 2022 to 2021 quarterly periods:

  • Net sales increased during the quarter driven by stronger pricing for all of our products. The benefit of stronger pricing was partially offset by lower sales volumes related to the turnaround at our Pryor facility and the impact of extremely cold weather that caused the Cherokee facility to shut down during the final week of the quarter.
  • The year-over-year improvement in operating income and adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from higher selling prices, partially offset by higher natural gas feedstock prices and lower sales volumes.

Financial Position and Capital Expenditures

As of December 31, 2022, our total liquidity was approximately $460 million, including $394 million in cash and short-term investments and approximately $64 million of availability under our Working Capital Revolver. Total long-term debt, including the $10 million current portion, was $712 million on December 31, 2022 compared to $528 million on December 31, 2021.

Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $12 million, in-line with the fourth quarter of 2021.

During the fourth quarter we repurchased approximately 5.6 million shares of the Company’s stock at an average price of approximately $13 per share. Shares were repurchased under the Company's stock repurchase plan which was approved by our Board of Directors in May 2022 at $50 million, expanded by the Board to $100 million in August 2022 and to $175 million in October 2022. We completed the full amount of the repurchase plan over the course of 2022.

Capital expenditures were approximately $13 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year 2023, total capital expenditures are expected to be between $60 million to $80 million which includes maintenance and margin enhancement investments.

Market Outlook

Nitrogen fertilizer prices moderated in recent months, largely reflecting a decline in European production costs coupled with the seasonal pause in demand that typically precedes the start of the spring planting season. Despite these factors, nitrogen pricing remains significantly above 10-year averages and appears likely to remain above these averages for 2023 due to the following:

U.S. corn stock/use ratios are at their lowest levels in a decade. Key factors include the impact on global corn supplies of dry conditions in South America, the Western U.S. and parts of Europe during 2022. As a result, corn prices remain near 10-year highs suggesting that farmers will likely be incentivized to plant additional acres and maximize yield through the coming planting season in order to capitalize on the favorable economics. Subject to supportive weather we expect this to translate into strong demand and above historic average pricing for nitrogen fertilizers in the coming planting season.

Additionally, natural gas prices in Europe have dropped in recent months due to a reduction in demand primarily related to warmer than expected temperatures throughout the continent this winter and a reduction in industrial production. The drop in feedstock costs has enabled numerous European ammonia facilities to resume operations. Despite lower gas costs, natural gas costs in Europe remain significantly higher than those in the U.S. and European operators remain the marginal producers, with production costs substantially higher than those in the U.S.

With respect to industrial markets, demand remains generally stable with domestic end-use markets continuing to be stronger than those in Europe and Asia. Inflation and other economic pressures are impacting some parts of the chemical manufacturing industry, while mining activity remains strong. Additionally, recent announcements from automotive manufacturers and suppliers indicate that some degree of improvement in auto production could unfold during 2023, which would be beneficial to demand for nitric acid.

Sales Volume Outlook

Estimated sales volumes for the full year 2023 are as follows:

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

This news release includes certain “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Regulation G. These non-GAAP measures are calculated using GAAP amounts in our consolidated financial statements.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, less gain on extinguishment of debt, plus depreciation and amortization (D&A) (which includes D&A of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible and other assets), plus provision (benefit) for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is reported to show the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, one time/non-cash or non-operating items-such as, one-time income or fees, loss (gain) on sale of a business and/or other property and equipment, certain fair market value (FMV) adjustments, and consulting costs associated with reliability and purchasing initiatives (Initiatives). We historically have performed turnaround activities on an annual basis; however, we have moved towards extending turnarounds to a two or three-year cycle. Rather than being capitalized and amortized over the period of benefit, our accounting policy is to recognize the costs as incurred. Given these turnarounds are essentially investments that provide benefits over multiple years, they are not reflective of our operating performance in a given year.

We believe that certain investors consider EBITDA a useful means of measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations and evaluating our financial performance. In addition, we believe that certain investors consider adjusted EBITDA as more meaningful to further assess our performance. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain items.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by taking adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Sales.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
