Gregory E. Poling, GCP’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased with our third quarter results, as GCP’s sales and earnings grew due to higher price and volumes as well as contributions from our bolt-on acquisitions and our cost reduction program."
Poling continued, “Our Specialty Building Materials business performed well with good project work and strong price capture, resulting in improved gross margin and segment operating income. This quarter, we made progress repositioning our Specialty Construction Chemicals business. We are increasing the penetration of VERIFI®, focusing on higher margin admixture markets and technologies, and reducing our overall cost structure.”
Third Quarter 2018:
- Net sales increased 4.9% and Net Sales, Constant Currency increased 7.2% due to growth in Specialty Construction Chemicals and Specialty Building Materials
- Gross margin of 37.3% decreased 60 basis points as an increase in SBM's gross margin was offset by a decline in SCC's gross margin
- Income from continuing operations attributable to GCP shareholders was $7.2 million compared to loss from continuing operations of $18.1 million in the third quarter of 2017. The change was primarily due to lower expenses as a result of a loss recognized during the prior-year quarter on the deconsolidation of our Venezuela operations, partially offset by higher income taxes.
- Adjusted EBIT of $39.7 million increased 9.7% primarily due to higher SBM segment operating income and lower corporate costs

Volumes increased despite being negatively impacted in September by wet weather and storm-related disruptions in North America and Asia Pacific, as well as planned exits from certain admixture markets.
- Gross margin declined 170 basis points as price increases were offset by raw material inflation, increases in logistics costs and volatile foreign exchange rates in certain emerging markets
- Segment operating margin decreased 240 basis points primarily due to lower gross margin

2018 Restructuring and Repositioning Plan (the "2018 Plan")
On August 1, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a business restructuring and repositioning plan. The 2018 Plan is designed to streamline operations and improve profitability primarily within the concrete admixtures product line of our Specialty Construction Chemicals segment by focusing on our core markets, rationalizing non-profitable geographies, reducing our global cost structure, and accelerating the integration of VERIFI® into our global admixtures business.
The Company expects to incur total pre-tax costs in connection with the 2018 Plan of approximately $30 million to $35 million, of which approximately $20 million to $25 million represents restructuring costs and approximately $10 million represents repositioning costs.
The Company expects to realize total annualized pre-tax cost savings associated with the 2018 Plan of approximately $25 million in 2019. The Company achieved pre-tax cost savings of approximately $2 million during the third quarter. Total expected revenue reduction is approximately 10% of annual SCC revenue as a result of exiting non-profitable geographic markets under the 2018 Plan. Such revenue reductions amounted to approximately $2 million during the third quarter. Substantially all of the restructuring actions under the 2018 Plan are expected to be completed by the end of 2019.
The 2018 Plan is separate and additional to the plan approved by the Company's Board of Directors on June 28, 2017 (the "2017 Plan"). The Company is on track to achieve the cost savings targets of the 2017 Plan.
Interest Expense and Related Financing Costs
Interest expense and related financing costs were $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared with $21.6 million for the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of the full repayment of the Term Loan principal balance previously outstanding under our Credit Agreement during the third quarter of 2017 and the debt refinancing transactions discussed below.
Debt Refinancing Transactions
On April 10, 2018, the Company announced the issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5% Senior Notes due 2026, an amendment to its Credit Agreement that, among other things, increased the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments available to $350.0 million, and the redemption of $525.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2023.
Income Taxes
The income tax expense (benefit) attributable to continuing operations during the third quarter and prior-year quarter was $7.6 million and ($14.5 million), respectively, representing effective tax rates of 51.0% and 44.6%, respectively. The difference between the provision for income taxes at the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and GCP’s overall income tax rate for the third quarter is primarily attributable to valuation allowances recorded of $3.6 million, the effect of tax rates in foreign jurisdictions of $0.2 million and permanent book to tax differences and other items of $0.7 million. The difference between the provision for income taxes at the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35.0% and GCP's overall income tax rate for the prior-year quarter was primarily due to $2.9 million of tax benefit on undistributed foreign earnings.

Analysis of Operations
The Company has set forth in the tables below GCP's key operating statistics with percentage changes for the third quarter compared with the corresponding prior-year periods. In the table, the Company presents financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures, which it describes below in further detail. GCP believes that the non-GAAP financial information supplements its discussions about the performance of its businesses, improves period-to-period comparability and provides insight to the information that management uses to evaluate the performance of its businesses. Management uses non-GAAP measures in financial and operational decision-making processes, for internal reporting, and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes, as these measures provide additional transparency to GCP's core operations.
In the table, the Company has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered substitutes for financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results that the Company calculates and presents in the table in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as well as the corresponding reconciliations from those results, should be carefully evaluated.
Constant currency means current period revenue in local currency translated using prior period exchange rates. GCP uses constant currency in assessing trends in sales excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company defines Adjusted EBIT (a non-GAAP financial measure) to be net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to GCP shareholders adjusted for: (i) gains and losses on sales of businesses, product lines and certain other investments; (ii) currency and other financial losses in Venezuela; (iii) costs related to legacy product, environmental and other claims; (iv) restructuring expenses, repositioning and asset impairments; (v) defined benefit plan costs other than service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets and amortization of prior service costs/credits; (vi) third-party and other acquisition-related costs; (vii) other financing costs associated with the modification or extinguishment of debt; (viii) amortization of acquired inventory fair value adjustments; (ix) tax indemnification adjustments; (x) interest income, interest expense and related financing costs; (xi) income taxes; and (xii) and certain other items that are not representative of underlying trends. GCP uses Adjusted EBIT to assess and measure its operating performance and in determining performance-based compensation. GCP uses Adjusted EBIT as a performance measure because it provides improved quarter-to-quarter and year-over-year comparability for decision-making and compensation purposes and because it allows management to measure the ongoing earnings results of the Company's strategic and operating decisions.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) to be Adjusted EBIT adjusted for depreciation and amortization. GCP uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure in making significant business decisions.
The Company defines Adjusted Earnings Per Share (a non-GAAP financial measure) to be earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations on a diluted basis adjusted for costs related to: (i) gains and losses on sales of businesses, product lines and certain other investments; (ii) currency and other financial losses in Venezuela; (iii) legacy product, environmental and other claims; (iv) restructuring and repositioning expenses and asset impairments; (v) defined benefit plan costs other than service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets and amortization of prior service costs/credits; (vi) third-party and other acquisition-related costs; (vii) other financing costs associated with the modification or extinguishment of debt; (viii) amortization of acquired inventory fair value adjustments; (ix) tax indemnification adjustments; (x) certain other items that are not representative of underlying trends; and (xi) and certain discrete tax items. GCP uses Adjusted EPS as a performance measure to review its diluted earnings per share results on a consistent basis.
The Company defines Adjusted Gross Profit (a non-GAAP financial measure) to be gross profit adjusted for: (i) corporate and pension-related costs included in cost of goods sold; (ii) loss in Venezuela included in cost of goods sold; and (iii) amortization of acquired inventory fair value adjustment. Adjusted Gross Margin means Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net sales. Management uses this performance measure to understand trends and changes and to make business decisions regarding core operations.
The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) to be net cash provided by or used for operating activities minus capital expenditures plus cash paid for restructuring and repositioning; capital expenditures related to repositioning; cash paid for third-party and other acquisition-related costs; cash taxes paid for repositioning, restructuring, third-party and other acquisition-related costs; accelerated payments under defined benefit pension arrangements; and expenditures for legacy items. GCP uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a liquidity measure to evaluate its ability to generate cash to support its ongoing business operations, to invest in its businesses, to provide a return of capital to shareholders and to determine payments of performance-based compensation.
The Company defines Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital (a non-GAAP financial measure) to be Adjusted EBIT (on a trailing four quarters basis) divided by the sum of net working capital, properties and equipment and certain other assets and liabilities. Management uses Adjusted EBIT Return On Invested Capital as a performance measure to review investments and to make capital allocation decisions.
Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted EBIT Return on Invested Capital do not purport to represent income measures as defined under U.S. GAAP. These measures are provided to improve the period-to-period comparability and peer-to-peer comparability of GCP's financial results and to ensure that investors understand the information GCP uses to evaluate the performance of its businesses.
Adjusted EBIT has material limitations as an operating performance measure because it excludes costs related to income and expenses from restructuring and repositioning activities, which historically has been a material component of our net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA also has material limitations as an operating performance measure because it excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization expense. GCP's business is substantially dependent on the successful deployment of capital, and depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of its costs. GCP compensates for the limitations of these measurements by using these indicators together with net income (loss) as measured under GAAP to present a complete analysis of its results of operations. Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated together with net income (loss) measured under GAAP for a complete understanding of GCP's results of operations.
The Company does not provide GAAP earnings on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to estimate with reasonable certainty unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

___________________________________
Amounts may not add due to rounding.
(A) GCP's segment operating income includes only GCP's share of income of consolidated joint ventures.
(B) Management allocates corporate costs to each segment to the extent such costs are directly attributable to the segments. Corporate costs include approximately $5.4 million of allocated costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 that were previously reported within the Darex operating segment since such costs did not meet the criteria to be reclassified to discontinued operations. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, the Company began allocating these costs to its remaining operating segments.
(C) Certain pension costs include only ongoing costs recognized quarterly, which include service and interest costs, expected returns on plan assets, and amortization of prior service costs/credits. SCC and SBM segment operating income and corporate costs do not include any amounts for pension expense. Other pension related costs including annual mark-to-market adjustments, actuarial gains and losses, gains or losses from curtailments and terminations, and other related costs are excluded from Adjusted EBIT. These amounts are not used by management to evaluate the performance of the GCP businesses and significantly affect the peer-to-peer and quarter-to-quarter comparability of our financial results. Mark-to-market adjustments, actuarial gains and losses, and other related costs relate primarily to changes in financial market values and actuarial assumptions and are not directly related to the operation of the GCP businesses.
