Recent Merger Announcement

On August 15, 2018, Cabot Microelectronics Corporation and KMG Chemicals, Inc. announced a definitive agreement under which Cabot Microelectronics will acquire KMG Chemicals in a cash and stock transaction with a total enterprise value of approximately $1.6 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, KMG shareholders will be entitled to receive, per KMG share, $55.65 in cash and 0.2000 of a share of Cabot Microelectronics common stock.

Due to the pending transaction with Cabot Microelectronics, KMG is not hosting a conference call in conjunction with its fourth quarter and full year 2018 earnings release and does not expect to do so for future quarters. Completion of the transaction is subject to approval by KMG’s shareholders and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the current calendar year.

“Fiscal 2018 was a year of progress, growth and continued strong performance for KMG,” said Chris Fraser, KMG chairman and CEO. “We again achieved record financial results, with fiscal 2018 sales exceeding the top end of our upwardly revised guidance range and fiscal 2018 adjusted EBITDA at the high end of our forecast. We also achieved record earnings per share of $4.29 on a GAAP basis. Throughout the year, we further strengthened our diverse and market-leading businesses and continued to enhance our efficiency across our global operations.”

Mr. Fraser concluded, “Over the past five years, KMG’s adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share have increased approximately fourfold, a period of sustained growth and progress that culminated in an outstanding fiscal 2018 year. I would like to thank our exceptional employees whose dedication, passion and teamwork have driven our growth and success for more than two decades. On behalf of our entire organization, I sincerely thank our investors for placing their confidence and trust in KMG.”

For the fourth fiscal quarter, the Performance Materials segment reported:

• Sales of $42.8 million, up 75% from $24.5 million in the same period a year ago. Sales growth reflected a full quarter of contribution from Flowchem as compared to a partial quarter in Q4 2017, as well as product volume growth in the pipeline performance and wood treating chemicals businesses.
• Operating income of $14.6 million, or 34.0% of sales, compared to $2.9 million, or 11.8% of sales, last year. The increase in operating income was due to a full quarter of contribution from Flowchem as compared to a partial quarter in Q4 2017, as well as product volume growth in the pipeline performance and wood treating chemicals businesses. Operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 was dampened due to the step-up in basis for acquired Flowchem inventories totaling $3.7 million, as well as a $2.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization related to the acquisitions of Sealweld and Flowchem.
• Adjusted EBITDA9 of $18.8 million compared to $10.1 million last year.

For the fiscal 2018 year, the Performance Materials segment reported:

• Sales of $163.5 million, up 188% from the prior year. The sales increase was driven by full-year contributions from Sealweld and Flowchem, as well as product volume growth in the pipeline performance and wood treating chemicals businesses.
• Operating income of $55.0 million, or 33.6% of sales, compared to $13.8 million, or 24.3% of sales, last year. Operating income improved due to higher sales and product volume growth in the pipeline performance and wood treating chemicals businesses. Operating income in fiscal 2017 was unfavorably impacted by a $3.7 million purchase price adjustment to acquired Flowchem inventories and a $2.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization.
• Adjusted EBITDA10 of $71.8 million compared to $22.3 million last year.

Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measuresKMG provides non-GAAP financial information to complement reported GAAP results. KMG believes that analysis of our financial performance would be enhanced by an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and our judgments about the likelihood that particular factors will repeat. We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring and realignment charges and other relevant items.

KMG intends to continue to provide certain non-GAAP financial information and the appropriate reconciliation to GAAP in its financial results. As required by SEC rules, the tables below present a reconciliation of our presented non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of performance.
