Sales of
$424.1 million
in the quarter increased approximately 25% versus the prior year. Market-based pricing was favorable by 25% compared to the prior year driven by higher pricing across our ammonium sulfate and nylon product lines. Raw material pass-through pricing was favorable by 12% following a net cost increase in benzene and propylene (inputs to cumene which is a key feedstock to our products). Sales volume in the quarter decreased approximately 12% driven primarily by the impact of the planned plant turnaround in the fourth quarter of 2021 as well as robust operational performance in the prior year period.

EBITDA of
$49.3 million
in the quarter increased
$0.8 million
versus the prior year primarily due to higher market-based pricing, net of increased raw material costs, partially offset by approximately
$16 million
net unfavorable impact of planned plant turnarounds year-over-year and lower production volume.
Earnings per share of
$0.80
decreased
$0.14
versus the prior year driven by a higher effective tax rate in the quarter versus the prior year primarily due to an approximately
$3.8 million
energy tax credit associated with our natural gas boilers investment in the prior year period, which more than offset the factors discussed above.
Cash flow from operations of
$33.3 million
in the quarter decreased
$14.4 million
versus the prior year primarily due to the unfavorable impact of changes in working capital and lower net income. This includes the strategic absence of our typical ammonium sulfate pre-buy cash advances in the fourth quarter of 2021 reflecting the dynamic raw material and end market environment. Capital expenditures of
$19.3 million
in the quarter increased
$4.0 million
versus the prior year.
Dividend
The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.125
per share on the Company's common stock, payable on March 15, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2022.
Agreement to Acquire U.S. Amines
According to the terms of the agreement, the Company will acquire U.S. Amines in an all-cash transaction for an estimated net purchase price of approximately
$100 million
. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to be accretive to 2022 earnings.
Aligned to our M&A framework, our strategic rationale to acquire U.S. Amines includes:
- Value chain integration - enhances advantaged position through internal supply of products and raw materials
- Platform for broader expansion - unique platform in agrochemicals space and supports further penetration into high-value applications (electronics, pharmaceuticals, water treatment)
- Leverages AdvanSix core strengths - complementary business model with long-tenured customer relationships and formula pricing mechanisms; Operational excellence to enable sales synergies and unlock incremental value
- Strengthens North America position - adjacent to both our ammonium sulfate adjuvant and solvent businesses with ability to leverage regional scale
- Bolt-on, robust cash and margin profile - strong free cash flow conversion and margins accretive to Intermediates portfolio
"U.S. Amines is a complementary and cohesive fit with our existing portfolio and supports further penetration in high-value end markets and applications. We will leverage our core strengths across its unique manufacturing capabilities to enable sales synergies and unlock incremental value. We see robust opportunities for incremental growth through increased utilization of assets, new market opportunities and high-return organic investments," said Kane.
"The transaction will have minimal impact to our debt leverage and we are confident in our ability to attain strong returns. Today's announcement marks another step as we evolve and enhance our capital allocation strategy to support sustainable and robust shareholder returns over the long-term. We are eager to welcome the U.S. Amines team to AdvanSix and look forward to their contributions to our continued growth," added Kane.
U.S. Amines employs approximately 50 people in the United States at manufacturing locations in Bucks, AL and Portsmouth, VA. Estimated 2022 revenue for the business is approximately
$70 million
.
Outlook
- Targeting significant earnings growth in 2022 supported by expected strong execution and robust ammonium sulfate fertilizer performance
- Expect strong North America demand for nylon and chemical intermediates to continue
- Successful integration of U.S. Amines expected to deliver year one earnings accretion
- Continue to expect Capital Expenditures to be
$95
to
$105 million
in 2022 reflecting scope of planned plant turnarounds and timing of project execution
- Expect pre-tax income impact of planned plant turnarounds to be approximately
$33
to
$38 million
in 2022
"2022 is shaping up to be another exciting year for AdvanSix. We are targeting significant earnings growth as we continue to execute on our strategic priorities including superior operational excellence, differentiated product growth and being strong and disciplined stewards of capital. Demand is expected to remain strong across our nylon and chemical intermediates product lines and we are in the midst of the strongest fertilizer environment that we've seen in over a decade. We are gaining momentum for our next chapter and remain confident that AdvanSix is well positioned to deliver robust performance and returns over the long-term,” concluded Kane.

The Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release provide meaningful supplemental information as they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, enhance a reader’s understanding of the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate a better comparison among fiscal periods and performance relative to its competitors, as these non-GAAP measures exclude items that are not considered core to the Company’s operations.
