Interfor Reports Q1'16 Results

Higher Commodity Lumber Prices and Volumes in Q1'16 vs. Q4'15


/EINPresswire.com/ -- VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/28/16 -- INTERFOR CORPORATION ("Interfor" or the "Company") (TSX: IFP) recorded Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $33.4 million on sales of $433.9 million in Q1'16 versus Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $35.8 million on sales of $411.4 million in Q4'15.

Adjusted net earnings(1) in Q1'16 were $2.6 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to $5.5 million, or $0.08 per share, in Q4'15. Net earnings were $0.8 million, or $0.01 per share, compared with net losses of $3.5 million, or $0.05 per share, in Q4'15.

Highlights for the quarter include:


--  Higher Lumber Prices
    --  Product prices were higher in Q1'16 versus Q4'15, with the Western
        SPF Composite and the Southern Pine ("SP") Composite up over the
        prior quarter by US$6 and US$20 per mfbm, respectively.

--  Weaker Canadian Dollar
    --  The Canadian Dollar was weaker on average against the U.S. Dollar as
        compared to the prior quarter, averaging 1.3732 in Q1'16 versus
        1.3354 in Q4'15. However, the Canadian Dollar strengthened
        significantly against the U.S. Dollar in the latter half of Q1'16 to
        close the period up 6.3% over the rate at December 31, 2015.

--  Higher Lumber Production
    --  The Company produced an additional 50 million board feet in Q1'16
        versus Q4'15. The production increase is a result of: (i) the return
        to a normal operating schedule at the Castlegar mill in Q1'16 versus
        the mill restart during Q4'15; (ii) the improvement in weather
        conditions near the Georgetown mill that negatively impacted
        operations in Q4'15; and (iii) incremental operating days in Q1'16
        versus the holiday-impacted schedule in Q4'15.

--  Free Cash Flow Generation
    --  Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by: (i) reduced profitability in the
        B.C. Coastal business due to seasonally lower log production, an
        increase in the percentage of helicopter logging, and lumber product
        mix changes; and (ii) variances in quarter end log and lumber
        inventory reserve adjustments.
    --  Interfor generated $31.0 million of cash from operations before
        working capital changes. In the quarter, working capital increased
        by $11.0 million, primarily as a result of reductions in payables
        outstanding. Capital spending amounted to $17.8 million during the
        quarter.
    --  The Company's net debt decreased by $24.2 million during the quarter
        to $428.1 million, or 37.8% of invested capital, providing the
        Company with $148.2 million of available liquidity as at March 31,
        2016.

--  Tacoma Sawmill Monetization
    --  The monetization process for the Tacoma sawmill property is
        proceeding on track, with the sale expected to close in the second
        half of 2016.

--  Business Optimization Initiative
    --  Over the past several years, Interfor has completed a series of
        growth initiatives, including five acquisitions and two major
        capital projects.
    --  The expanded platform has created a significant number of additional
        margin expansion opportunities.
    --  The Company is focused on capturing these opportunities and has
        taken a number of steps to advance this initiative over the past
        several months.

Production

Lumber production in Q1'16 was 618 million board feet versus 568 million board feet in Q4'15.

Production from the Company's nine U.S. South sawmills totaled 265 million board feet, up 22 million board feet compared to Q4'15. In addition to the increase in operating days in Q1'16, the production at the Georgetown sawmill increased by 9 million board feet following the impact of severe weather events in Q4'15.

Production from Canadian operations totaled 210 million board feet in Q1'16, up 24 million board feet compared to Q4'15. Production increased most significantly at Castlegar, which produced an additional 12 million board feet as the sawmill resumed more normal operations following the start-up curve in Q4'15. In Q1'16, Interfor shipped approximately 105 million board feet of lumber to U.S. markets from its B.C. sawmills, which represents approximately 17% of Interfor's total current quarterly production. The 12-month standstill period of the Softwood Lumber Agreement, which precludes trade action by the U.S., continues through October 11, 2016. Preliminary discussions on lumber trade between the Canadian and U.S. governments have been held, however uncertainty remains regarding resolution of the matter.

Production from Northwest operations totaled 143 million board feet in Q1'16, an increase of 4 million board feet over the preceding quarter driven by improved productivity at the Company's three stud mills in the region.

Lumber Markets and Pricing

Beginning this quarter, Interfor changed its references to market benchmark prices for Western SPF and SYP from 2x4's to the respective Composites. The change is due to 2x4 references being for a specific product, whereas the Composites include a mix of dimensions and grades that better reflect our product mix, particularly for Southern Yellow Pine.

The Western SPF Composite improved over the course of the first quarter of 2016 as dealers expanded inventories for the spring building season following a mild winter. The Western SPF Composite benchmark took a step down to US$251 per mfbm in January before rebounding to US$281 per mfbm in March. The SP Composite also improved during Q1'16, increasing to US$374 per mfbm in March compared to US$353 per mfbm in December 2015.

Interfor expects demand for lumber to continue to grow over the mid-term as the U.S. housing market recovers and market promotion efforts in North America and offshore take full effect.

Interfor's strategy of maintaining a diversified portfolio of lumber operations allows the Company to both reduce risk and maximize returns on invested capital over the business cycle. Interfor will continue its disciplined approach to production, cost control, inventory management and capital spending. At the same time, Interfor will remain alert to growth opportunities to position the Company for long term success.

Balance Sheet

Net debt at March 31, 2016 was $428.1 million, or 37.8% of invested capital, representing an increase of $58.4 million from March 31, 2015 and a decrease of $24.2 million from December 31, 2015. A 6.3% strengthening of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar contributed $29.5 million to the net debt reduction in Q1'16 as the majority of debt is denominated in U.S. Dollars.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had commitments for capital expenditures totaling $4.6 million, related to both maintenance and discretionary capital projects.

Interfor continues to maintain its disciplined focus on monitoring discretionary capital expenditures, optimizing inventory levels and matching production with offshore and domestic demand.

As at March 31, 2016, the Company had net working capital of $170.2 million and available capacity on operating and term facilities of $137.0 million. These resources, in addition to cash generated from operations, will be used to support working capital requirements, debt servicing commitments and capital expenditures. We believe that Interfor will have sufficient liquidity to fund operating and capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Non-GAAP Measures

This MD&A makes reference to the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted net earnings (loss), Adjusted net earnings (loss) per share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pre-tax return on total assets and Net debt to invested capital, which are used by the Company and certain investors to evaluate operating performance and financial position. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The following table provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to figures as reported in the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS:
