ELGIN, Ill., July 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. (Nasdaq:HCCI), a leading provider of parts cleaning, used oil re-refining, and hazardous and non-hazardous waste services primarily focused on small and mid-sized customers, today announced results for the second quarter which ended June 17, 2017.
Second Quarter Review
Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $86.4 million compared to $80.6 million for the same quarter of 2016, an increase of 7.2%.
Operating margin increased to 22.9% from 19.3% in the second quarter of 2016 due to significant improvements in the spreads in our oil business segment, lower disposal costs, and lower expenses for workers’ compensation compared to the year-ago quarter. Our second quarter SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 13.2% from 15.3% in the second quarter of 2016 mainly due to significantly lower legal fees compared to the prior year.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter was $6.9 million compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.8 million in the year earlier quarter. Basic earnings per share was a record $0.31 in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to earnings per share of $0.08 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Earnings during the second quarter of 2017 include a $3.6 million pre-tax benefit due to a settlement received during the second quarter of 2017.
Segments
Our Environmental Services segment includes parts cleaning, containerized waste, vacuum services, antifreeze recycling, and field services. Environmental Services revenues were $55.1 million during the quarter compared to $52.4 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Environmental Services operating margin was 30.3%, our highest ever for a 12-week quarter, compared to 28.8% in 2016, primarily due to lower disposal costs and lower expenses for workers’ compensation.
President and CEO Brian Recatto commented, “As we continue to increase our revenue growth rate, we are working hard to better leverage our existing assets to mitigate the margin impact of additional costs to grow the business in this segment.”
Our Oil Business segment includes used oil collection activities, sales of recycled fuel oil, and re-refining activities. During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, Oil Business revenues increased 11.3% to $31.3 million compared to $28.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The revenue increase was mainly driven by higher pricing for our base oil products, partially offset by lower used oil collection charges. Oil Business segment operating margin was 9.9% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 1.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, with the improvement primarily due to higher spreads on our base oil products.
Brian Recatto commented, “We are pleased that improved base oil pricing has allowed us to achieve nearly double-digit operating margin in this segment for the first time since we began operating the re-refinery.”
Settlement Update
On March 8, 2017 we entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers of FCC Environmental pertaining to all matters in arbitration which were not covered by the partial arbitration award we received in the first quarter of 2017. Under the terms of this agreement the sellers of FCC Environmental agreed to pay us $8.6 million in two equal installments. The first installment of $4.3 million was received in the first quarter of 2017 and was used to reduce an existing receivable. We received the second installment of $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. A portion of the second installment was applied to a receivable and the remaining amount of approximately $3.6 million was recorded as a gain in the second quarter.

| (a) | EBITDA represents net income before provision for income taxes, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. We have presented EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors, our lenders and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management uses EBITDA as a measurement tool for evaluating our actual operating performance compared to budget and prior periods. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. EBITDA is not a measure of performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: | |||||||||||||||||
| EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; | ||||||||||||||||||
| EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; | ||||||||||||||||||
| EBITDA does not reflect tax expense or the cash requirements necessary to pay for tax obligations; and | ||||||||||||||||||
| Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. | ||||||||||||||||||
| We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA only as a supplement. | ||||||||||||||||||
| (b) | Legal fees incurred to resolve routine and non-routine matters stemming from the acquisition of FCC Environmental and International Petroleum Corp. | |||||||||||||||||
| (c) | Gain from partial award for claims made in our arbitration related to our acquisition of FCC Environmental and International Petroleum Corp. in 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
| (d) | Settlement of disputes related to the acquisition of FCC Environmental and International Petroleum Corp. of Delaware. | |||||||||||||||||
| (e) | Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash or infrequently occurring items such as: | |||||||||||||||||
| (1) Non-cash compensation expenses which are recorded in SG&A | ||||||||||||||||||
| (f) | The write down of inventory values resulted in lower carrying costs for certain types of inventories. Depending on various factors, it is possible that these lower inventory values may result in lower cost of sales in future periods and thereby positively impact profitability in future periods. | |||||||||||||||||
| We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe it may be used by analysts, investors, our lenders, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our performance. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||||||||||||||||||
| Adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share provide investors and management useful information about the earnings impact of the settlement received in the second fiscal quarter of 2017. | ||||||||||||||||||
