MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 12, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - KP Tissue Inc. ("KPT") (TSX: KPT) reports the Q3 2014 Financial and Operational Results of KPT and Kruger Products L.P. (KPLP):
- Revenue increased by 9.8% to $267.6 million in Q3 2014 compared to $243.8 million in Q3 2013
- EBITDA of $38.0 million in Q3 2014, up from $31.1 million in Q3 2013
- Maintained number one overall consumer market share in Canada
"We are pleased by our solid EBITDA performance of $38.0 million in the third quarter, an increase of over 22% compared to last year. The EBITDA increase primarily reflects higher sales volume in Canada and greater TAD Product contribution in the U.S.," said Mario Gosselin, CEO of KP Tissue and KPLP.
"The recent Metro Paper acquisition also improved the results in the Away-from-Home (AFH) segment. TAD Products contributed $6.5 million during the third quarter and we have updated the expected EBITDA contribution for fiscal 2014 to between $23 million to $25 million, raising the bottom end of the range.
"Our EBITDA outlook for the fourth quarter is for year-over-year improvement. Compared to Q3 2014, we expect that Q4 EBITDA will be reduced due to seasonally higher advertising expenditures and plant maintenance costs," Mr. Gosselin concluded.
KP Tissue Inc.
KPT currently holds a 16.5% interest in KPLP. The highlights, discussion
and analysis in this earnings release, unless identified specifically
as representing the financial results of only KPT, relates entirely to
the financial results of KPLP.
KPLP Q3 2014 Financial Results
Revenue in Q3 2014 was $267.6 million, compared to $243.8 in Q3 2013, an
increase of $23.8 million. Revenue increased across all segments and
geographies and was primarily due to the acquisition of Metro Paper on
June 3rd in the AFH segment. Revenue also increased as a result of higher sales
volume in the Consumer segment in Canada, an increase in TAD Product
sales in the U.S., and the favourable impact of foreign exchange on
U.S. dollar sales.
Cost of sales in Q3 2014 was $219.9 million, compared to $200.7 million in Q3 2013 due to increases in commodity prices, particularly pulp fibre and natural gas, the unfavourable impact of foreign exchange, and an increase in freight expenses related primarily to higher sales volume. These cost increases were offset somewhat by the favourable mix of products sold, cost reduction initiatives and timing of maintenance spending. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales were 82.2 percent in Q3 2014 compared to 82.4 percent in Q3 2013.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in Q3 2014 were $17.7 million, compared to $19.7 million in Q3 2013 due to lower advertising and promotion expenses, partially offset by the impact of a realized loss on foreign exchange.
EBITDA in Q3 2014 was $38.0 million compared to $31.1 million in Q3 2013, driven by favourable sales volume and mix resulting from increased sales in the Canadian Consumer business and in the U.S. for TAD Products and lower SG&A, as well as incremental EBITDA from the AFH Metro Paper acquisition. TAD Product EBITDA was $6.5 million in Q3 2014 compared to EBITDA of $1.8 million in Q3 2013.
Net income in Q3 2014 was $16.1 million, compared to $14.2 million in Q3 2013. The increase was primarily due to the increase in EBITDA of $6.9 million, partially offset by a change in the amortized cost of the Partnership unit liability of $1.1 million, an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $2.7 million and higher depreciation expense as a result of the TAD Project.
The cash balance as of September 28, 2014 was $36.3 million compared to $40.5 million as of June 29, 2014. Cash generated from operating activities resulting from EBITDA in Q3 2014 and a reduction in pension funding was more than offset by additional working capital requirements and interest and debt payments in the quarter.
KPT Q3 2014 Financial Results
- Net income of $0.6 million in Q3 2014
- Earnings per share of $0.08 in Q3 2014
Included in the net income of $0.6 million in Q3 2014 was $2.7 million representing KPT's share of KPLP's profit. The profit was offset somewhat by depreciation expense of $1.4 million related to adjustments to carrying amounts on acquisition, and income tax expense of $0.8 million.

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release uses certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios
which KPLP believes provide useful information to both management of
KPLP and the readers of the financial information in measuring the
financial performance and financial condition of KPLP. These measures
do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other
companies. An example of such measures is EBITDA. EBITDA is not a
measurement of operating performance computed in accordance with IFRS
and should not be considered as a substitute for operating income, net
income or cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance
with IFRS. "EBITDA" is calculated by KPLP as net income (loss) before
(i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation,
(iv) amortization, (v) impairment of non-financial assets, (vi) loss
(gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, (vii) unrealized
foreign exchange loss (gain), (viii) one-time costs related to
restructuring activities, and (ix) change in the amortized cost of the
Partnership unit liability. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the relevant
reported results can be found in the Management's Discussion and
Analysis ("MD&A") of KPT and KPLP for the third quarter ended September
28, 2014 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking information is
based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by KPT,
including expectations and assumptions concerning the impact of the TAD
Project on EBITDA. Although KPT believes that the expectations and
assumptions on which such forward-looking information is based are

Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements made herein. The forward-looking information contained herein is expressly qualified in its entirety by this cautionary statement.
