BROOMFIELD, Colo., Oct. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2020.Consolidated sales were $55.3 million, up 28% sequentially and down 45% versus the third quarter of 2019. The sequential increase reflects improved demand in North America for integrated perforating systems from DynaEnergetics, DMC’s oilfield products business. North American sales improved 122% sequentially, and were partially offset by a 27% sequential decline in international sales, which can fluctuate based on order timing. Consolidated third quarter sales also reflect an 8% sequential improvement at NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business. The sales decline versus last year’s third quarter reflects the collapse in global oil and gas demand as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.Gross margin for the third quarter was 25% versus 15% in the 2020 second quarter and 36% in the 2019 third quarter.Third quarter operating income was $1.5 million, down from $12.8 million in last year’s third quarter. Net income was $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, versus net income of $6.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in last year’s third quarter. Adjusted net income was $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $6.0 million versus a negative $1.8 million in the 2020 second quarter, and a positive $23.2 million in the 2019 third quarter.Net cash (total cash and cash equivalents less total debt) at September 30, 2020, was $12.6 million, up from net cash of $4.5 million at June 30, 2020.  DynaEnergetics
Third quarter sales at DynaEnergetics were $34.2 million, up 45% sequentially and down 56% from the 2019 third quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.2 million versus $23.2 million in last year’s third quarter.
NobelClad

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million versus $3.1 million in last year’s third quarter.
NobelClad’s trailing 12-month book-to-bill ratio at the end of the third quarter was 1.09, and its rolling 12-month bookings were $90 million versus $89 million at June 30, 2020. Order backlog was $42.6 million versus $42.9 million at the end of the second quarter.Nine-month results

Management Commentary
President and CEO Kevin Longe said, “The third quarter brought a stronger-than-expected upturn in North American well completion activity, and DynaEnergetics’ customers were able to quickly accelerate operations, in part by deploying our Factory-Assembled, Performance-Assured™ DS perforating systems, which are delivered just-in-time to the wellsite. In addition, NobelClad reported better-than-expected order shipments. These factors led to third quarter financial results that exceeded publicly issued guidance.
“Despite the recent improvement in well completion activity, the environment for North America’s unconventional oil and gas industry remains challenging, and most operators and service companies are actively streamlining operations and reducing costs. Many also are adopting new well-completion technologies, including DynaEnergetics’ integrated DS perforating systems, which require fewer people and less time to arm and deploy, and significantly enhance the safety, performance and reliability of our customers’ well-completion programs.“DynaEnergetics made several additions to its product portfolio during the third quarter, including the DS MicroSet™, a compact, disposable setting tool used to install the plug at the end of each stage in an unconventional oil or gas well. The factory-assembled tool has performed extremely well in field trials with multiple customers. It works seamlessly with our DS perforating systems, and is fully disposable, eliminating the dangerous redressing processes required with most setting tools. DS MicroSet and the new DS Liberator™ ballistic release tool will be commercially available next month.“DynaEnergetics anticipates fourth quarter demand from North America’s unconventional market will be consistent with the third quarter.  However, it also expects a seasonal decline in international order volume, which is expected to accelerate again in the first half of 2021.”Longe continued, “During the third quarter, NobelClad booked several orders in the petrochemical sector, as well as the upstream and downstream energy industries. In addition, shipments began on the first major order from the engineered wood industry, which NobelClad expects could become a long-term end market.“We continue to enhance our financial position, and ended the third quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $24.6 million, and net cash of $12.6 million.“Our third quarter performance was achieved in the midst of difficult market conditions that were made more challenging by the global pandemic. I am extremely proud of our employees around the world for their efforts to keep themselves and their co-workers safe, while also delivering on our commitments to our customers.”Guidance
Michael Kuta, CFO, said fourth quarter 2020 sales are expected in a range of $50 million to $55 million versus the $55.3 million reported in the 2020 third quarter. At the business level, DynaEnergetics is expected to report sales in a range of $30 million to $33 million versus the $34.2 million reported in 2020 third quarter, while NobelClad’s sales are expected in a range of $20 million to $22 million versus the $21.1 million reported in the 2020 third quarter.
Consolidated gross margin is expected in a range of 20% to 23% versus 25% in the 2020 third quarter. The anticipated sequential decline reflects an expected seasonal drop in higher-margin international sales at DynaEnergetics, and a less favorable project mix at NobelClad.Third quarter selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense is expected to be approximately $12 million versus the $11.6 million reported in the 2020 third quarter, while amortization expense is expected to be approximately $370,000. Interest expense is expected in a range of $150,000 to $200,000.Adjusted EBITDA is expected in a range of $2 million to $4 million versus the $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2020.Fourth quarter capital expenditures are expected in a range of $2 million to $3 million.Conference call information

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), and net cash are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures used by management to measure operating performance and liquidity. Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of DMC’s financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided within the schedules attached to this release.
EBITDA is defined as net income plus or minus net interest plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). Adjusted operating income (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance. Net cash is defined as cash and cash equivalents less total debt. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its operational and financial decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance. As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews feature adjusted EBITDA measures. Management believes that investors may find this non-GAAP financial measure useful for similar reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. In addition, management incentive awards are based, in part, on the amount of adjusted EBITDA achieved during relevant periods. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are also used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess operating performance. For example, a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA is required by the lenders under DMC’s credit facility.Net cash is used by management to supplement GAAP financial information and evaluate DMC’s performance, and management believes this information may be similarly useful to investors. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) are presented because management believes these measures are useful to understand the effects of restructuring and impairment charges on DMC’s operating income (loss) and net income (loss), respectively.Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance.All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles and stock-based compensation) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing DMC’s operating performance (e.g., income taxes, restructuring and impairment charges). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the company’s operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect DMC’s ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business. For example, by adjusting for depreciation and amortization in computing EBITDA, users can compare operating performance without regard to different accounting determinations such as useful life. In the case of the other items, management believes that investors can better assess operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.About DMC
