A. Schulman, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: SHLM) announced today earnings for the fiscal fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended August 31, 2014.
Joseph M. Gingo, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I want to thank our global teams in helping us to achieve a record year in fiscal 2014. Our successful acquisitions and organic growth strategy, combined with our ongoing focus on improving operational performance and efficiency, enabled us to deliver strong double-digit sales and income growth in 2014. While we are very pleased with these results, our focus is on the future. Despite anticipated slow growth globally, I am very confident that our seasoned team, which has weathered many challenging conditions in Europe and other parts of the world in the recent past, will take the proactive steps necessary to drive double-digit adjusted earnings-per-share growth in fiscal 2015. I am also encouraged that our recent acquisitions over the past year in the U.S. are performing well and are helping us offset global economic slowdowns. Through successful execution of our strategy, we are improving our position in target markets, diversifying our product mix and increasing our prospects for sustainable and profitable growth."
Bernard Rzepka, Chief Operating Officer, stated, "Net sales and operating income increased for the full year in each of our operating regions, as our recent acquisitions and organic growth contributed to our improved results in all three regions. Our team is highly focused and executing on our safety, smart sales, smart savings initiatives and our 2014 results demonstrate what we can achieve. Our acquisition of Compco in September and the recently announced restructuring program in Europe are examples of the proactive actions we are taking to drive profitable growth."
Fiscal Fourth-Quarter Results
Net sales for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter were $627.4 million, an increase of 16.8% compared with $537.3 million in the prior-year quarter.
Net sales in the EMEA segment were $388.6 million, an increase of 11.2% or $39.2 million in the fourth quarter compared with the same period last year. Volume increased 7.7% or 22.6 million pounds for the quarter to 314.8 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2014. During the quarter, the incremental contribution of the two acquisitions in the EMEA segment was $26.6 million and 17.4 million pounds in net sales and volume, respectively. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted the segment's net sales by $9.6 million. EMEA gross profit was $50.0 million for the quarter, an increase of $4.5 million or 9.9% compared with the same three-month period last year. Foreign currency translation positively impacted EMEA gross profit by $1.2 million.
Net sales for the Americas were $188.3 million, an increase of 21.9% or $33.8 million in the fourth quarter compared with the prior-year period. Volume increased 3.8% or 6.7 million pounds during the quarter. During the quarter, the incremental net sales and volume contribution of the three acquisitions in the Americas segment was $32.9 million and 21.2 million pounds, respectively. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted the segment's net sales by $2.3 million. Gross profit for the Americas was $28.6 million in the quarter, an increase of $7.4 million or 35.1% compared with the same period last year.
Net sales for APAC were $50.4 million, an increase of 50.8% or $17.0 million in the fourth quarter compared with the prior-year period. Volume increased 52.6% or 13.8 million pounds during the quarter. The contribution of the Perrite acquisition in APAC was $14.9 million and 11.1 million pounds in net sales and volume, respectively. Gross profit for APAC for the quarter increased $0.4 million or 6.5% compared with the prior-year period.
Fiscal 2014 Results
Net sales for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, were approximately $2.5 billion, an increase of $313.6 million or 14.7% compared with fiscal 2013. Volume increased 8.7% or 167.4 million pounds during the year. Incremental net sales and volume from the Company's recent acquisitions contributed $217.0 million and 147.8 million pounds, respectively, in fiscal 2014. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, net sales were positively affected by a 3.5% increase in price per pound and a 1% increase in volume. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted net sales by $38.1 million.
The Company's SG&A expenses, excluding certain items, increased $32.7 million compared with the prior year, to $232.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental SG&A expense of $12.1 million from recent acquisitions, higher variable incentive compensation expense of $11.5 million attributable to the Company's fiscal performance and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3.0 million. SG&A expense, excluding certain items, was 9.5% of net sales for fiscal 2014. Operating income increased $19.2 million for fiscal 2014 compared with the prior year. Total operating income, before certain items, was $99.9 million, an increase of $17.0 million or 20.5% compared with fiscal 2013.
Working Capital/Cash Flow From Operations
Cash provided from operations was $113.1 million in fiscal 2014 compared with $83.7 million in fiscal 2013. Working capital was 57 days at the end of fiscal 2014 compared with 58 days at the end of fiscal 2013.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2014 were $35.1 million compared with $26.6 million for the prior year, and were primarily related to the regular and ongoing investment in the Company's global manufacturing facilities.
During the fourth quarter and full year ended August 31, 2014, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.20 and $0.80 per common share, respectively. The total amount of these dividends was $5.9 million for the fourth quarter and $23.7 million for the full year.
Business Outlook
Rzepka said, "With 10 acquisitions in the past four years and our numerous value-added organic growth initiatives, we continue to aggressively drive profits. We are actively focusing on pricing, cross-selling, attractive markets and driving profitable new products. Through our acquisition strategy, we will continue to expand our footprint, engage new customers and strengthen our ability to serve local and global customers. In combination, we believe we can be successful despite weak macroeconomic conditions especially in Europe. As we continue to focus on execution, we expect this progress to continue in fiscal 2015."
Rzepka continued, "Our goal remains to control what we can control, manage our operational footprint proactively and efficiently, execute on our acquisition strategy, support sales and marketing initiatives, and drive year-over-year growth in adjusted earnings per diluted share. As a result, we anticipate that our fiscal 2015 adjusted net income will increase to a range of $2.60 to $2.65 per diluted share."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include segment gross profit, SG&A expenses excluding certain items, operating income excluding certain items, net income excluding certain items and net income per diluted share excluding certain items, as discussed further in the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures below. These non-GAAP financial measures are considered relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the Company's results and business trends. However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures, and tables included in this release reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for these purposes are gross profit, SG&A expenses, operating income, net income and net income per diluted share. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
While the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are very significant limitations associated with their use. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company's competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.
Cautionary Statements
A number of the matters discussed in this document that are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances and developments and may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements contain such words as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which management is unable to predict or control, that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements, and that could adversely affect the Company's future financial performance, include, but are not limited to, the following:
-- worldwide and regional economic, business and political conditions,
including continuing economic uncertainties in some or all of the
Company's major product markets or countries where the Company has
operations;
-- the effectiveness of the Company's efforts to improve operating margins
through sales growth, price increases, productivity gains, and improved
purchasing techniques;
-- competitive factors, including intense price competition;
-- fluctuations in the value of currencies in major areas where the Company
operates;
-- volatility of prices and availability of the supply of energy and raw
materials that are critical to the manufacture of the Company's
products, particularly plastic resins derived from oil and natural gas;
-- changes in customer demand and requirements;
-- effectiveness of the Company to achieve the level of cost savings,
productivity improvements, growth and other benefits anticipated from
acquisitions, joint ventures and restructuring initiatives;
-- escalation in the cost of providing employee health care;
-- uncertainties regarding the resolution of pending and future litigation
and other claims;
-- the performance of the global automotive market as well as other markets
served;
-- further adverse changes in economic or industry conditions, including
global supply and demand conditions and prices for products; and
-- operating problems with our information systems as a result of system
security failures such as viruses, computer "hackers" or other causes.
The risks and uncertainties identified above are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risk factors that could affect the Company's performance are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014. In addition, risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it believes to be immaterial also may adversely affect the Company. Should any known or unknown risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, or underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, these developments could have material adverse effects on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
