    Glatfelter Announces First Quarter Results

    Airlaid segment’s operating income up 24.5%.

    05.03.16
    Glatfelter reported first quarter 2016 net income of $16.2 million compared with $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted earnings for the first quarter of 2016 were $16.3 million, a 23% increase compared with $13.4 million for the same period a year ago.

    Consolidated net sales totaled $402.2 million and $417.5 million in the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Currency translation adjustments unfavorably impacted the year-over-year comparison by $5.2 million.

    “Glatfelter is off to a solid start in 2016 as a result of our focus on operational excellence and leadership positions in key markets,” says Dante C. Parrini, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our Advanced Airlaid Materials and Specialty Papers businesses reported operating income increases of 25% and 58%, respectively, compared with the first quarter of 2015, with improved operations and increased shipping volumes. The strong performance of these two businesses was partially offset by lower operating income in the Composite Fibers business, which was impacted by softer demand during the quarter for food and beverage products after a strong 2015.”

    Parrini adds, “Glatfelter is fully committed to building upon our market leadership positions across all of our business units. To accelerate our growth as a leading global engineered materials company, we have been making select, strategic investments – including a new, state-of-the-art Advanced Airlaid Materials production facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas, which is expected to be completed in late 2017. Our airlaid business continues to grow with key customers in the feminine hygiene, adult incontinence and specialty wipes markets.”

    Advanced Airlaid Materials’ net sales decreased $1.5 million in the year-over-year comparison as $3.8 million of lower selling prices from the pass through of lower raw material costs more than offset higher shipping volumes. Shipping volumes increased 2% primarily due to higher shipments of adult incontinence and wipes products.

    Airlaid’s first quarter 2016 operating income totaled $6.6 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 24.5% compared to the same quarter a year ago and the operating margin widened 240 basis points. Operating income includes $3.6 million of lower raw material and energy costs and improved operations offset by lower selling prices reflecting the impact of cost pass through arrangements.  Foreign currency translation favorably impacted the comparison by $0.9 million.
