Exhibit 99.1

 

LSB INDUSTRIES, INC. REPORTS RECORD OPERATING RESULTS

FOR THE 2022 SECOND QUARTER

Achieves All-Time Highest Quarterly EBITDA in Company History

 

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma…July 27, 2022…LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE: LXU) (“LSB” or the “Company”) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

 

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

 

Net sales of $284.8 million compared to $140.7 million in the second quarter of 2021

 

Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $158.1 million compared to $46.0 million in the second quarter of 2021

 

Adjusted EBITDA(1) margin of 55.5% compared to 32.7% in the second quarter of 2021

 

Adjusted EPS(1) of $1.22 in the second quarter of 2022

 

Cash Flow from Operations of $135.3 million and Capital Expenditures of $8.2 million

 

Total liquidity of over $500 million as of June 30, 2022

 

Authorized and commenced share repurchases under a $50 million buyback program

 

Announced feasibility study for a green ammonia project at Pryor Facility

 

“We had another quarter of record results with significant year-over-year growth in net sales, adjusted EBITDA and EPS,” stated Mark Behrman, LSB’s President and CEO. “We benefitted from higher selling prices compared to last year, and our strategic commercial initiatives enabled us to optimize our sales mix in the face of a dynamic market environment.  Nitrogen pricing declined through the second quarter from April’s peak levels.  This decline was largely due to a combination of wet weather throughout the corn belt, which delayed the fertilizer application season, along with the typical drop in fertilizer demand headed into the summer season.  Even so, pricing remains well above year ago levels and there are multiple supply and demand factors currently at play that we expect will support strong pricing for the remainder of 2022 and for 2023, if not longer, even in the event of a recession.”  

 

Mr. Behrman continued, “Our robust second quarter cash flow further enhanced our balance sheet, putting us in a financial position that we expect will enable us to pursue growth opportunities while at the same time, weather a potential economic downturn.  In May our Board authorized a $50 million stock repurchase program to return capital to shareholders by taking advantage of the value opportunity they believe currently exists with our shares.  Over the longer term, we believe we have an opportunity to drive shareholder value through debottlenecking projects that we are evaluating.  These projects can materially increase the production capacities of our facilities, enhancing our profit margins as we capitalize on the operating leverage inherent in our business model.  We expect to formalize our debottlenecking plans by

the end of this year and anticipate moving forward on one or more of these projects in early 2023.  In addition, we continue to advance our decarbonization activities.   Following our late-April announcement of our CO2 capture and sequestration or ‘blue’ ammonia project at our El Dorado facility, in late May we announced a feasibility study for a zero-carbon or ‘green’ ammonia project at our Pryor facility.  We look forward to providing updates on both of these exciting industry-leading initiatives as we make progress towards initial production of low and no carbon ammonia that we expect will be in high demand for use in a variety of critical applications in the years to come.”

Comparison of 2022 to 2021 quarterly periods:

 

Net sales increased during the quarter driven by stronger pricing for all of our products for sales made at both spot pricing as well as those related to a rise in the Tampa ammonia benchmark price, to which many of our contracts are tied.  The benefit of stronger pricing was partially offset by lower sales volumes due, in part, to the impact of wet weather in certain areas of the U.S., and dry conditions in other areas, on fertilizer purchases by farmers.  

 

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 June 30, 2022, our total liquidity was over $500 million, including $450.8 million in cash and short-term investments and approximately $63.4 million of borrowing availability under our Working Capital Revolver. Total long-term debt, including the $11.0 million current portion, was $715.4 million on June 30, 2022 compared to $527.6 million on December 31, 2021.  

 

Interest expense for the both the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 was $12.3 million.  

 

During the second quarter we repurchased approximately $13 million of the Company’s stock at an average price of approximately $18 per share under the $50 million share repurchase plan authorized by our Board of Directors on May 16, 2022.

 

Capital expenditures were approximately $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2022.  For the full year 2022, total capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $65 million. 

 

Outlook

 

A variety of factors suggest that demand for fertilizers should continue to be robust, and fertilizer pricing should remain above historical averages for the rest of 2022, and full year 2023.  The U.S. corn belt had a very wet spring, causing farmers to forego their typical pre-planting fertilizer application and contributing to a near all-time high spike in corn prices during April and May.  As growing weather improved during June, corn prices retreated from peak levels, but continue to sit well above historical averages.  As a result, farmer income is likely to continue to be healthy, encouraging investment in fertilizers in order to maximize yield to capitalize on strong corn pricing.  The elevated corn price environment appears to have the underpinnings to persist given high levels of U.S. ethanol demand and the impact of dry conditions in South America and the Western U.S. on global corn supplies. Demand for corn from China for use as animal feed remains high as well.  While the third quarter is typically marked by limited fertilizer activity as planted corn matures, demand for agricultural ammonia could be strong in the fourth quarter, after the harvest, as farmers seek to replenish the nutrients in their soil in advance of the spring 2023 planting season, particularly given the diminished pre-plant application earlier this year.

 

Domestic natural gas prices are well above where they were at this time a year ago.  However, selling prices for our products have increased by a significant multiple of the increase in gas cost over the same period.  We expect this to translate into continued strong margins over the course of 2022 and likely

throughout 2023.    Natural gas costs in Europe have rebounded to near the peak levels reached this past March causing ammonia production at some European facilities to shut down again in the face of prohibitively high feedstock costs.  As such, U.S. producers remain at a significant production cost advantage and the global ammonia supply constraint should serve as the foundation for continued elevated nitrogen pricing.

 

Significantly exacerbating the aforementioned factors contributing to increased corn and fertilizer prices is the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Ukraine is one of the world’s largest exporters of corn while Russia is among the world’s largest exporters of wheat and ammonia.  The current unstable geopolitical situation in that region could potentially disrupt the global supply of these products for the balance of 2022 and 2023.

 

Sales volumes for our industrial business have remained stable despite weakening forecasts for economic growth.  Demand for nitric acid, a product with a broad range of applications, continues to be strong and our large long-term nitric acid contract helps protect us on the downside in the event that some end markets are impacted by a potential recession.  Pricing for our industrial sales remains well above year ago levels, reflecting competition from fertilizer demand and other nitrogen demand and the continued strength in the Tampa ammonia price to which a number of our industrial product contracts are indexed.  With respect to U.S. natural gas feedstock price volatility, many of our industrial product contracts are cost-plus in nature enabling us to pass through increases in gas costs.

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 (loss) 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

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share have been adjusted for the impact of the closing of the Exchange Transaction on September 27, 2021 as well as the one time/non-cash or non-operating items referred to in the above section relating to Adjusted EBITDA.
