Discussion of Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results


GAAP net sales for 2Q FY 2016 and YTD 2016 were $429.4 million and $888.4 million vs GAAP net sales for 2Q FY2015 and YTD 2015 of $404.8 million and $798.9 million. 2Q FY 2016 and YTD 2016 include negative foreign exchange effects of $23.6 million and $58.0 million. Adjusted for acquisitions in fiscal 2015, net sales for 2Q 2016 were down $49.2 million vs. 2Q 2015. This decrease was due to several factors: the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rates, the anticipated and continuing decline in multi-media sales and reduced sales related to certain consumer product companies.


Gross margin for 2Q 2016 was 22.3%, up 200 basis points, vs. 20.3% for 2Q 2015. This increase reflects the Company's improved manufacturing efficiencies in our facilities, returns from our targeted capital spending programs, and $4.9 million of realized synergies from acquisitions, partially offset by restructuring charges for the Melrose Park facility closure. The Company expects to realize an additional $2.5 million in synergies related to acquisitions in the next two quarters.

GAAP net income (loss) attributable to MPS for 2Q FY 2016 and YTD 2016 were $(7.9) million and $5.1 million vs GAAP net income (loss) for 2Q FY 2015 and YTD 2015 of $(2.4) million and $4.6 million. 2Q FY 2016 and YTD 2016 include negative foreign exchange effects of $4.2 million and $10.6 million. During the quarter, besides the foreign exchange impacts noted, the Company recorded stock compensation costs associated with the Company's initial public offering of $26.9 million and debt extinguishment costs associated with the related early payment of term loans of $3.9 million, as well as restructuring charges. These charges were partially offset by $2.7 million of reduced income taxes associated with the enactment of "UK Finance (No.

2) Act 2015" on November 18, 2015.


Non GAAP net income attributable to MPS for 2Q FY 2016 and YTD 2016 were $18.9 million and $37.0 million vs non GAAP net income attributable to MPS for 2Q FY 2015 and YTD 2015 of $6.1 million and $12.8 million.


Non GAAP EBITDA for 2Q 2016 was $69.4 million, up $10.9 million, or 18.7%, vs. $58.5 million in 2Q 2015. Non GAAP EBITDA margin of 16.2% was driven by the Company's targeted capital spending programs, plant improvement initiatives, and purchasing and cost savings programs. Pro forma for acquisitions, non GAAP EBITDA increased $6.4 million, or 10.1%, vs. $63.0 million in 2Q 2015.


Cash balances as of December 31, 2015 were $59.0 million. There were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Total debt net of cash was $903.8 million including deferred debt discount of $15.1 million. At December 31, 2015, trailing twelve months pro forma adjusted EBITDA was $259.2 million, and the pro forma leverage ratio was 3.49x.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


The historical financial information included in this presentation includes financial information that is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), including Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in the analysis of financial and operating performance because they assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our business. Our use of the terms Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of others in our industry. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss), or any other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and should be considered in conjunction with, and not as substitutes for, our results as reported under GAAP. This presentation includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
