November 12 , 2015 – IRVING, TEXAS – Darling Ingredients Inc. (NYSE: DAR), a global leader in converting edible and inedible bio-nutrient streams into a wide range of ingredients and specialty products for customers in the pharmaceutical, food, pet food, feed, technical, fuel, bioenergy, and fertilizer industries, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2015.

For the third quarter of 2015, the Company reported net sales of $853.8 million, as compared with net sales of $978.7 million for the third quarter of 2014. The $124.9 million decrease in net sales is attributable to lower finished product prices, primarily in the global competing ingredients prices and the foreign exchange rate impact of a weaker euro and Canadian dollar. Overall, global raw material volumes were stronger year over year.

Net loss attributable to Darling for the three months ended October 3, 2015, was $(9.1) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, compared to a net income of $14.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the three months ended September 27, 2014. This decrease is attributable to the impact of foreign exchange rates as a function of the strengthening U.S. dollar as compared mainly to the euro and Canadian dollar and the impact of tax expense, which includes discrete items that do not have a direct relationship with pre-tax earnings and a deferred tax asset write-down in a foreign jurisdiction, which were partially offset by improvements in operations. If extenders legislation is passed this year which is the same or similar to last year’s package including the Biofuel Tax Credit and the Look-Through Rule, we expect the effective tax rate for the year to be about the same as last year, which was 16%. The results for the three months ended October 3, 2015 and three months ended September 27, 2014, respectively, include the following after-tax costs:

Fiscal 2015

 

    $0.4 million ($0.00 per diluted share) associated with the integration of VION Ingredients and Rothsay and the implementation of internal controls over financial reporting per the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for VION Ingredients; and

Fiscal 2014

 

    $1.3 million ($0.01 per diluted share) associated with the acquisition and integration of Rothsay and VION Ingredients during the period.

Comments on Third Quarter 2015

“Despite a difficult pricing environment, we continued to execute in the third quarter on our long term strategy of building our global platform to create sustainable feed, food and fuel ingredients for a growing world population. Our Feed segment continues to perform well, with global rendering recording strong volumes and predictable earnings. Scheduled plant turnarounds at 3 gelatin factories during the quarter significantly impacted the Food segment earnings. The Fuel segment delivered as expected but was down sequentially due to the tough environment in the US bio-diesel industry. We remain confident that the reinstatement of the US Tax Extenders will retroactively deliver the blenders tax credit as expected,” said Randall Stuewe, Darling Ingredients Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“Operationally, our global team continues to find ways to improve our cost structure and maintain our margins. Targets for working capital improvement, operating cost reductions and SG&A improvement are all being met. From a balance sheet perspective, we remain focused on delivering and setting the stage for future growth,” concluded Mr. Stuewe.

Reconciliation of Net Income to (Non-GAAP) Adjusted EBITDA and (Non-GAAP) Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA

Darling Ingredients Inc. reports Adjusted EBITDA results, which is a Non-GAAP financial measure, as a complement to results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to investors. As the Company uses the term, Adjusted EBITDA, calculated below:

For the three months ended October 3, 2015, the Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $106.1 million, as compared to $117.2 million in the same period in fiscal 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower finished product prices attributable to lower global competing ingredients prices and the impact of foreign exchange rates as a function of the strengthening U.S. dollar as compared mainly to the euro and Canadian dollar, which were partially offset by an increase in raw material volumes. On a Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA basis, the Company would have generated $107.4 million in the three months ended October 3, 2015, as compared to a Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of $119.4 million in the same period in 2014. The decrease in the Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA is attributable to lower finished product prices, the impact of foreign exchange rates as a function of the strengthening U.S. dollar as compared mainly to the euro and Canadian dollar, lower acquisition and integration-related expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in raw material volumes.

As a result of the strengthened U.S. dollar, the above Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA results for the three months ended October 3, 2015 would have been $118.0 million when taking into consideration the change in average foreign exchange (FX) fluctuations of $10.6 million as compared to $119.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2014, a reduction of $1.4 million.

On a sequential basis, for the three months ended October 3, 2015, the Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $106.1 million, as compared to $105.5 million for the three months ended July 4, 2015. On a Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA basis, the Company would have generated $107.4 million in the three months ended October 3, 2015, as compared to a Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of $106.7 million in the three months ended July 4, 2015, an increase of approximately $0.7 million.

As a result of the strengthened U.S. dollar, the above Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA results for the three months ended October 3, 2015 would have been $107.6 million when taking into consideration the change in average foreign currency fluctuations of $0.2 million, as compared to the Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of $106.7 million for the three months ended July 4, 2015, an increase of $0.9 million.

Operational Update by Segment

 

    Feed Ingredients - Solid performance overall, with consistent sequential improvement and stable margins. Global rendering continues to have strong volumes and predictable earnings. Fat prices remain pressured in the USA, but are stabilizing in Europe. Protein felt some pressure worldwide as large grain supplies and strong slaughter resulted in market surpluses. Restaurant services continued to improve spreads, but pricing pressure continues. Bakery Feeds and Specialty Proteins continued strong performances. The new bakery feeds plant in Bryan, Texas is in operation. Two new pet food plants are now running and are well positioned for 2016.

 

    Food Ingredients - Scheduled extended downtime at three gelatin plants for expansion and modernization accounted for the majority of segment declines. Edible Fats performance improved as margins stabilized. CTH endured an Asian border closure, resulting in an inventory write down.

 

    Fuel Ingredients - Ecoson faced operational challenges during the quarter that have since been resolved. Canadian biofuels continue to operate at a loss without tax credits. Segment margins have normalized and adjusted. Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) are expected to be ratified in late November, while we anticipate that the biofuels tax credit will be awarded in December.

 

    Diamond Green Diesel Joint Venture - Continued strong operational performance in the third quarter, producing 41.5 million gallons of renewable diesel. The Company remains optimistic that the U.S. Biofuels Tax Extenders package will be reinstated, retroactively adding approximately $20.0 million to Darling’s share of income in the third quarter.

Segment operating income

   $ 35,619       $ 46,398   

EBITDA

   $ 76,465       $ 84,118   

 

    Feed Ingredients operating income for the three months ended October 3, 2015 was $35.6 million, a decrease of $10.8 million as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2014. Lower earnings for the Feed Ingredients segment were due to significant decline in proteins, fats and used cooking oil finished product prices as a result of the global record-setting grain production and increased volumes from the slaughter industry which increased supply above demand levels. In addition, the Company’s Feed Ingredients segment operating cash flow was negatively impacted by foreign exchange translation by approximately $4.4 million when using prior year average exchange rates.

 

    Feed Ingredients reported lower earnings and net sales year over year resulting primarily in the United States operations, related to lower finished product prices in proteins, fats and used cooking oil, particularly in the Company’s non-formula business. The $82.1 million decrease in net sales includes sales of proteins $(39.5) million, fats $(35.7) million, Used Cooking Oil $(0.1) million, Bakery $1.8 million and other sales of $(8.6) million as compared to three months ended September 27, 2014. Increased sales volumes in Bakery due to the Custom Blenders acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 contributed to Bakery’s increased net sales.

    Food Ingredients operating income was $11.6 million for the three months ended October 3, 2015, a decrease of $2.4 million as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2014. In addition, the Company’s Food Ingredients segment operating cash flow was negatively impacted by foreign exchange translation by approximately $5.8 million when using prior year average exchange rates.

 

    The gelatin business earnings improved as compared to the prior year due to the China operations profitability. European edible fats performance improved over the prior year due to improved margins. The Company’s casings business was down compared to the same period in the prior year, due primarily to margin pressure on meat by-product sales to Asian markets.

    Exclusive of the DGD Joint Venture, Fuel Ingredients operating income for the three months ended October 3, 2015 was $0.2 million, a decrease of $2.6 million as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2014. The Fuel Ingredients segment was negatively impacted by foreign exchange translation by approximately $1.8 million when using prior year average exchange rates and lower earnings at the Canadian biodiesel plant due to lower biodiesel margins. The European Fuel Ingredients segment (Ecoson and Rendac) earnings were comparable to the same period in fiscal 2014.

 

    Including the DGD Joint Venture results, the Fuel Ingredients segment loss for the three months ended October 3, 2015 was $12.1 million, as compared to segment income of $1.3 million in the same period of 2014. The reduction of $13.4 million is primarily related to a decrease in the income of the DGD Joint Venture due to a decrease in petroleum prices, which was not offset by an increase in Renewable Identification Number (“RIN”) values and the uncertain regulatory environment with respect to the U.S. mandated Renewable Volume Obligation (“RVO”) requirements within the Renewable Fuel Standard Program (“RFS2”) for 2015.

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended October 3, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 27, 2014

Net loss attributable to Darling for the first nine months ended October 3, 2015, was $(5.9) million, or $(.04) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $(5.7) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. The decrease is attributable to lower finished product prices, lower equity income in unconsolidated subsidiaries and the impact of foreign exchange rates as a function of the strengthening U.S. dollar as compared mainly to the euro and Canadian

    $21.1 million ($0.13 per diluted share) related to a non-cash inventory step-up associated with the required purchase accounting for the VION Acquisition related to the portion of acquired inventory sold during the period;

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Adjusted EBITDA is presented here not as an alternative to net income, but rather as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and is not intended to be a presentation in accordance with GAAP. Since EBITDA (generally, net income plus interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not calculated identically by all companies, this presentation may not be comparable to EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA presentations disclosed by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in this presentation and represents, for any relevant period, net income/(loss) plus depreciation and amortization, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, interest expense, (income)/loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, income tax provision, other income/(expense) and equity in net loss of unconsolidated subsidiary. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing income taxes and certain non-cash and other items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

As a result, the Company’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure to evaluate performance and for other discretionary purposes. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating results or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, and is not intended to be a presentation in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the foregoing, management also uses or will use Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain financial covenants under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 5.375% Notes and 4.75% Notes that were outstanding at October 3, 2015. However, the amounts shown in this presentation for Adjusted EBITDA differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 5.375% Notes and 4.75% Notes, as those definitions permit further adjustments to reflect certain other non-recurring costs and non-cash charges.

In addition, the Company’s management used adjusted diluted earnings per share as a measure of earnings due to the significant merger and acquisition activity of the Company. However, an adjusted earnings per share is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per share presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income attributable to Darling divided by the weighted average shares of diluted common stock. Adjusted net income attributable to Darling is defined as a reconciliation of net income attributable to Darling, net of tax (i) adjusted for net of tax acquisition and integration costs related to merger and acquisitions, (ii) net of tax amortization of acquisition related intangibles and (iii) net of tax certain non-recurring items that are not part of normal operations. This measure is solely for the purpose of calculating adjusted diluted earnings per share and is not intended to be a substitute of presentation in accordance with GAAP.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information:

{This media release contains “forward-looking” statements regarding the business operations and prospects of Darling Ingredients Inc. and industry factors affecting it. These statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “planned,” “potential,” “continue,” “momentum,” and other words referring to events that may occur in the future. These statements reflect Darling Ingredient’s current view of future events and are based on its assessment of, and are subject to, a variety of risks and uncertainties beyond its control, each of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, existing and unknown future limitations on the ability of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries to make their cash flow available to the Company for payments on the Company’s indebtedness or other purposes; unanticipated costs or operating problems related to the acquisition and integration of Rothsay and Darling Ingredients International (including transactional costs and integration of the new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system); global demands for bio-fuels and grain and oilseed commodities, which have exhibited volatility, and can impact the cost of feed for cattle, hogs and poultry, thus affecting available rendering feedstock and selling prices for the Company’s products; reductions in raw material volumes available to the Company due to weak margins in the meat production industry as a result of higher feed costs, reduced consumer demand or other factors, reduced volume from food service establishments, reduced demand for animal feed, or otherwise; reduced finished product prices; continued decline in fat and used cooking oil finished product prices; changes to worldwide government policies relating to renewable fuels and greenhouse gas emissions that adversely affect programs like the Renewable Fuel Standards Program (RFS2) and tax credits for biofuels both in the Unites States and abroad; possible product recall resulting from developments relating to the discovery of unauthorized adulterations to food or food additives; the occurrence of Bird Flu including, but not limited to H5N1 flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (or “BSE”), porcine epidemic diarrhea (“PED”) or other diseases associated with animal origin in the United States or elsewhere; unanticipated costs and/or reductions in raw material volumes related to the Company’s compliance with the existing or unforeseen new U.S. or foreign regulations (including, without limitation, China) affecting the industries in which the Company operates or its value added products (including new or modified animal feed, Bird Flu, PED or BSE or similar or unanticipated regulations); risks associated with the renewable diesel plant in Norco, Louisiana owned and operated by a joint venture between Darling Ingredients and Valero Energy Corporation, including possible unanticipated operating disruptions; risks relating to possible third party claims of intellectual property infringement; increased contributions to the Company’s pension and benefit plans, including multiemployer and employer-sponsored defined benefit pension plans as required by legislation, regulation or other applicable U.S. or foreign law or resulting from a U.S. mass withdrawal event; bad debt write-offs; loss of or failure to obtain necessary permits and registrations; continued or escalated conflict in the Middle East, North Korea, Ukraine or elsewhere; and/or unfavorable export or import markets. These factors, coupled with volatile prices for natural gas and diesel fuel, climate conditions, currency exchange fluctuations, general performance of the U.S. and global economies, disturbances in world financial, credit, commodities and stock markets, and any decline in consumer confidence and discretionary spending, including the inability of consumers and companies to obtain credit due to lack of liquidity in the financial markets, among others, could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations. Among other things, future profitability may be affected by the Company’s ability to grow its business, which faces competition from companies that may have substantially greater resources than the Company. The Company’s announced share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and purchases of shares under the program are subject to market conditions and other factors, which are likely to change from time to time. Other risks and uncertainties regarding Darling Ingredients Inc., its business and the industries in which it operates are referenced from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Darling Ingredients Inc. is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.}

These statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “planned,” “potential,” “continue,” “momentum,” and other words referring to events that may occur in the future. These statements reflect Darling Ingredient’s current view of future events and are based on its assessment of, and are subject to, a variety of risks and uncertainties beyond its control, each of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, existing and unknown future limitations on the ability of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries to make their cash flow available to the Company for payments on the Company’s indebtedness or other purposes; unanticipated costs or operating problems related to the acquisition and integration of Rothsay and Darling Ingredients International (including transactional costs and integration of the new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system); global demands for bio-fuels and grain and oilseed commodities, which have exhibited volatility, and can impact the cost of feed for cattle, hogs and poultry, thus affecting available rendering feedstock and selling prices for the Company’s products; reductions in raw material volumes available to the Company due to weak margins in the meat production industry as a result of higher feed costs, reduced consumer demand or other factors, reduced volume from food service establishments, reduced demand for animal feed, or otherwise; reduced finished product prices; continued decline in fat and used cooking oil finished product prices; changes to worldwide government policies relating to renewable fuels and greenhouse gas emissions that adversely affect programs like the Renewable Fuel Standards Program (RFS2) and tax credits for biofuels both in the United States and abroad; possible product recall resulting from developments relating to the discovery of unauthorized adulterations to food or food additives; the occurrence of Bird Flu including, but not limited to H5N1 flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (or “BSE”), porcine epidemic diarrhea (“PED”) or other diseases associated with animal origin in the United States or elsewhere; unanticipated costs and/or reductions in raw material volumes related to the Company’s compliance with the existing or unforeseen new U.S. or foreign regulations (including, without limitation, China) affecting the industries in which the Company operates or its value added products (including new or modified animal feed, Bird Flu, PED or BSE or similar or unanticipated regulations); risks associated with the renewable diesel plant in Norco, Louisiana owned and operated by a joint venture between Darling Ingredients and Valero Energy Corporation, including possible unanticipated operating disruptions; risks relating to possible third party claims of intellectual property infringement; increased contributions to the Company’s pension and benefit plans, including multiemployer and employer-sponsored defined benefit pension plans as required by legislation, regulation or other applicable U.S. or foreign law or resulting from a U.S. mass withdrawal event; bad debt write-offs; loss of or failure to obtain necessary permits and registrations; continued or escalated conflict in the Middle East, North Korea, Ukraine or elsewhere; and/or unfavorable export or import markets. These factors, coupled with volatile prices for natural gas and diesel fuel, climate conditions, currency exchange fluctuations, general performance of the U.S. and global economies, disturbances in world financial, credit, commodities and stock markets, and any decline in consumer confidence and discretionary spending, including the inability of consumers and companies to obtain credit due to lack of liquidity in the financial markets, among others, could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations.

Among other things, future profitability may be affected by the Company’s ability to grow its business, which faces competition from companies that may have substantially greater resources than the Company. The Company’s announced share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and purchases of shares under the program are subject to market conditions and other factors, which are likely to change from time to time. Other risks and uncertainties regarding Darling Ingredients Inc., its business and the industries in which it operates are referenced from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Darling Ingredients Inc. is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Foreign Currency Impact

The U.S. dollar has strengthened against most of the functional currencies used by the

Company’s non-domestic operations.

Using actual results for fiscal year 2014 and comparing the yearly average rates to the average rates for the first nine months of 2015, the impact of the strengthened dollar would result in an annual decrease in net sales and operating cash flow of approximately $315.8 million and approximately $37.7 million, respectively if the same amount of non-domestic operations were attained in fiscal 2015.

The U.S. dollar continues to strengthen at the time of this filing. The impact is mainly affected by the drop in the Euro in comparison to the U.S. dollar.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is presented here not as an alternative to net income, but rather as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and is not intended to be a presentation in accordance with GAAP. Since EBITDA (generally, net income plus interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not calculated identically by all companies, this presentation may not be comparable to EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA presentations disclosed by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in this presentation and represents, for any relevant period, net income/(loss) plus depreciation and amortization, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, interest expense, (income)/loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, income tax provision, other income/(expense) and equity in net loss of unconsolidated subsidiary. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry because the calculation of

Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing income taxes and certain non-cash and other items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

As a result, the Company’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure to evaluate performance and for other discretionary purposes. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating results or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, and is not intended to be a presentation in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the foregoing, management also uses or will use Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain financial covenants under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 5.375% Notes and 4.75% Notes that were outstanding at October 3, 2015. However, the amounts shown in this presentation for Adjusted EBITDA differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 5.375% Notes and 4.75%

Notes, as those definitions permit further adjustments to reflect certain other non-recurring costs and non-cash charges.

In addition, the Company’s management used adjusted diluted earnings per share as a measure of earnings due to the significant merger and acquisition activity of the Company. However, adjusted earnings per share is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per share presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income attributable to Darling divided by the weighted average shares of diluted common stock. Adjusted net income attributable to Darling is defined as a reconciliation of net income attributable to Darling, net of tax (i) adjusted for net of tax acquisition and integration costs related to merger and acquisitions, (ii) net of tax amortization of acquisition related intangibles and (iii) net of tax certain non-recurring items that are not part of normal operations. This measure is solely for the purpose of calculating adjusted diluted earnings per share and is not intended to be a substitute of presentation in accordance with GAAP.
