Trecora Resources Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Results

Conference Call at 10:00 am ET Tomorrow, March 7, 2019

SUGAR LAND, Texas, March 6, 2019 – Trecora Resources ("Trecora" or the "Company") (NYSE: TREC), a leading provider of high purity specialty hydrocarbons and waxes, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018.

Net loss for the year was $2.3 million, or $(0.10) per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $18 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in 2017. Revenues increased by about 17% to $288 million from 2017.

“Trecora’s results in 2018, including the fourth quarter, were unacceptable. We have taken important steps to meaningfully improve our performance, and some of those steps have already begun to show results. We are prioritizing outcomes that most immediately impact our financial performance while building a foundation for the future,” said Pat Quarles, Trecora’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “As a manufacturing company, first and foremost, our transformation begins at our plants. Dick Townsend joined the Company in June of last year as Chief Manufacturing Officer and immediately began implementing his plan focused on safe and reliable operations while providing quality products to our customers. I am pleased to report that we have worked injury free throughout our Company since October of last year, both a fundamental in manufacturing and a key leading indicator for reliable, low-cost operations.”

“At the end of 2018 we executed a reorganization at our specialty petrochemicals facility in Silsbee, Texas lowering the operating costs at that facility by approximately $2.5 million per year. We have started to see the benefits from this action in January. We also returned the Advanced Reformer unit to operation in the first week of January, and it has continued to operate reliably.

“Our focus extends beyond manufacturing. We are pleased to welcome Joe Tanner as Senior Vice President of Commercial. Joe brings more than 30 years of experience in the chemicals industry to lead our commercial activities.

“Looking ahead, while demand for specialty petrochemicals in the oil sands market is comparably weaker, we see favorable demand dynamics across the balance of our core markets. We expect that our productivity efforts and the higher reliability of our assets will result in improved profitability in 2019,” Mr. Quarles noted.

“Fourth quarter profitability was impacted by our inability to upgrade byproducts due to the catalyst replacement outage of the Advanced Reformer unit, the exiting of a custom processing relationship and higher operating costs. Overall, operational inefficiencies and associated costs largely drove poor fourth quarter and full year 2018 performance,” commented Sami Ahmad, Trecora’s Chief Financial Officer. “We recently completed a multi-year capital program. Going forward, our annual capex should be approximately $10 million. Free cash flow will be used mainly for debt reduction.”

Mr. Quarles concluded, “We are actively making the operational and commercial changes necessary to drive more robust results going forward. We remain committed to monetizing AMAK, having recently entered into discussions with a leading global investment bank with strong mining expertise. We are committed to the safety of our employees, the reliability of our assets, the high quality of our products and the overall competitiveness of our Company. By prioritizing the most meaningful outcomes and implementing needed changes, we believe we will return Trecora to a higher and more sustainable level of financial performance.”

Fourth Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Total revenue in the fourth quarter was $74.7 million compared with $66.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of 13.2%. The increase in reported revenue was driven by a 9.8% increase in petrochemical sales volume and a 4.6% increase in the average sales price of specialty petrochemical products, in each case, compared with the fourth quarter of 2017.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter was $2.7 million, or 3.6% of total revenues, compared with $10.0 million, or 15.1% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2017. Operating loss for the fourth quarter was $5.0 million compared with operating income of $4.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. The decline in gross profit margin is primarily driven by the inability to upgrade the Company’s byproducts due to the catalyst replacement outage of the Advanced Reformer unit, the exit of a custom processing relationship and higher operating costs.

Adjusted net loss for the quarter was $3.3 million, or $(0.13) per share. Net loss for the fourth quarter was $5.3 million, or $(0.22) per diluted share, compared with a net income of $14.0 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017. Reported net loss in the fourth quarter of 2018 includes the impact of equity in losses from AMAK of $0.2 million and restructuring and severance expenses of approximately $2.3 million. The effect of these impacts was approximately $0.08 per diluted share on an after-tax basis. In 2017, equity in earnings of AMAK of $0.9 million along with a tax benefit from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of approximately $10.3 million had an estimated combined total impact of $0.44 per diluted share.

The Company received $5.3 million in cash from AMAK’s partial repurchase of its outstanding shares from its existing shareholders. The Company’s ownership in AMAK remains at 33.4%.
 
Specialty Petrochemicals
Specialty petrochemical volume in the fourth quarter was 25.1 million gallons compared with 21.6 million gallons in the third quarter of 2018, and 22.8 million gallons in the fourth quarter of 2017. Prime product volume in the fourth quarter was 18.7 million gallons compared with 17.0 million gallons in the third quarter of 2018, and 17.1 million gallons in the fourth quarter of 2017. Byproduct volume increased 39.5% sequentially and 12.2% year-over-year, to 6.4 million gallons. During the Advanced Reformer unit outage for catalyst replacement in the fourth quarter, sales of byproducts were at prices much below the cost of feed resulting in significantly lower byproduct margins compared to third quarter 2018 and fourth quarter of 2017. Additionally, the fourth quarter was impacted by the exit from a custom processing relationship and higher operating costs. Net income declined to a loss of $2.4 million as compared to income of $2.5 million in the third quarter and $17.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $2.0 million as compared to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2018 and $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Al Masane Al Kobra Mining Company (“AMAK”)
Trecora reported equity in losses of AMAK of approximately $0.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company received $5.3 million in cash from AMAK’s partial repurchase of its outstanding shares from its existing shareholders. The Company’s ownership in AMAK was not impacted and remains at 33.4%.

2018 Full Year Results
For the year, Trecora generated total revenue of $287.9 million compared with revenue of $245.1 million in the prior year.

Gross profit for 2018 was $27.8 million compared with $41.6 million in 2017. The gross profit margin for the year was 9.7% compared with 17.0% in 2017.

Net loss for the full year of 2018 was $2.3 million compared with net income of $18.0 million in 2017. Diluted EPS was $(0.10) compared with $0.72 in 2017. Net loss in 2018 was negatively affected by equity in losses of AMAK of $0.9 million as well as restructuring and severance expenses of $2.3 million for an estimated combined impact of $(0.10) per diluted share on an after-tax basis. In 2017, net income was negatively affected by equity in losses of AMAK of $4.3 million but positively impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by $10.3 million for an estimated combined benefit of $0.28 per diluted share on an after-tax basis.

Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2018 was $20.3 million compared with $31.7 million in 2017. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.1% in 2018 compared with 12.9% in 2017. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily driven by operating issues with the Advanced Reformer unit and higher operating costs including higher logistics. Adjusted EBITDA, among other things, excludes restructuring and severance expenses of $2.3 million.

Specialty Petrochemicals
Overall, the Company’s worldwide specialty petrochemical demand increased during 2018 compared to 2017. Product sales revenue increased 19.3% driven primarily by volume growth of 7.6%. Generally, product prices also increased compared to 2017 primarily due to higher feedstock costs in 2018. The Company continued to emphasize its competitive advantages achieved through its high-quality products and outstanding customer service and responsiveness.

Specialty petrochemical volume in 2018 was 89.6 million gallons compared with 83.3 million gallons in 2017. Prime product volume in 2018 was 69.4 million gallons compared with 64.0 million gallons in 2017. Byproduct volume, which is sold at lower margins, increased 4.7% year-over-year to 20.2 million gallons.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes the use of both U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes certain financial measures, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income, which are non-GAAP measures, provide users of our financial statements with supplemental information that may be useful in evaluating our operating performance. The Company believes that such non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our operating results presented under GAAP, can be used to better assess our performance from period to period and relative to performance of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure. These measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, analysis of our results under GAAP.

These non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the tables below entitled Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense (benefit) including derivative gains and losses, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus share-based compensation, plus restructuring and severance expenses, plus losses on extinguishment of debt, plus or minus equity in AMAK's earnings and losses or gains from equity issuances, and plus or minus gains or losses on acquisitions. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss): We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) plus or minus tax effected equity in AMAK's earnings and losses, minus tax effected restructuring and severance expenses, and adjustments for tax law changes in 2017.

Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements and information contained in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of the Company's management for future operations and other statements that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements.
