E-mailMONTREAL, QUEBEC and SARASOTA, FLORIDA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/13/17 -- Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (TSX: ITP) (the "Company") today released results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017. All amounts in this press release are denominated in US dollars unless otherwise indicated and all percentages are calculated on unrounded numbers. For more information, you may refer to the Company's management's discussion and analysis and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 ("Financial Statements").
Third Quarter 2017 Highlights (as compared to third quarter 2016):
-- Revenue increased 17.9% to $243.4 million primarily due to additional
revenue from the Cantech and Powerband Acquisitions(1), an increase in
average selling price, including the impact of product mix, and an
increase in sales volume from certain tape products.
-- Gross margin decreased to 20.9% from 21.7% primarily due to the dilutive
impact of the Cantech Acquisition resulting mainly from non-cash
purchase price accounting adjustments and certain manufacturing
production inefficiencies occurring mainly in older facilities.
-- Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased 31.3% to
$18.8 million primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation
driven primarily by the decrease in fair value of cash-settled awards.
-- Net earnings attributable to the Company shareholders ("IPG Net
Earnings") increased $13.0 million to $19.2 million, primarily due to
the decrease in SG&A, a decrease in manufacturing facility closures,
restructuring and other related charges mainly related to the South
Carolina Flood(2) in 2016, and an increase in gross profit. These
favourable impacts were partially offset by an increase in income tax
expense.
-- Adjusted EBITDA(3)(4) increased 15.9% to $32.4 million primarily due to
an increase in gross profit and additional adjusted EBITDA from the
Powerband and Cantech Acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in
variable compensation resulting from an improvement in expected
operating results.
-- Cash flows from operating activities increased $4.0 million to $24.1
million primarily due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset
by a decrease in cash flows from working capital items.
-- Free cash flows(4) decreased by $12.3 million to negative $4.7 million
primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures, partially offset
by an increase in cash flows from operating activities.
(1) "Powerband Acquisition" refers to the acquisition by the Company of 74%
of Powerband Industries Private Limited (doing business as "Powerband")
on September 16, 2016. "Cantech Acquisition" refers to the acquisition
by the Company of substantially all of the assets of Canadian Technical
Tape Ltd. (doing business as "Cantech"), which includes the shares of
Cantech Industries Inc., Cantech's US subsidiary, on July 1, 2017.
(2) "South Carolina Flood" refers to significant rainfall and subsequent
severe flooding on October 4, 2015 that resulted in considerable damage
to and the permanent closure of the Columbia, South Carolina
manufacturing facility eight to nine months in advance of the planned
shut down. "South Carolina Flood Insurance Proceeds" refers to insurance
claim settlement proceeds totalling $29.5 million, net of a $0.5 million
deductible, covering most of the claimed losses associated with the
South Carolina Flood. The Company recorded proceeds as a benefit in
manufacturing facility closures, restructuring and other related charges
totalling $5.0 million, $0.5 million and $9.3 million in the fourth
quarter of 2015, second and fourth quarters of 2016, respectively, and
as a benefit in cost of sales totalling $4.5 million, $8.1 million, and
$2.1 million in the second and fourth quarters of 2016 and the first
quarter of 2017, respectively.
(3) The Company has modified its definition of adjusted EBITDA to also
exclude advisory fees and other costs associated with mergers and
acquisitions activity, including due diligence, integration and certain
non-cash purchase price accounting adjustments ("M&A Costs"). Prior
period amounts have been conformed to the new definition of adjusted
EBITDA.
(4) Non-GAAP financial measure. For definitions and reconciliations of non-
GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
Other Highlights:
-- The Midland, North Carolina manufacturing facility began commissioning
production lines in the third quarter of 2017 and is ramping up to full
capacity in the fourth quarter of 2017 as planned. Capital expenditures
for this project since inception total $46.1 million as of September 30,
2017, which are within the Company's previous guidance of $44 to $49
million and are not expected to increase materially in the fourth
quarter of 2017. The Company continues to expect to achieve an after-tax
return of at least 15% on this project.
-- As a result of the success of the Midland project to date and the
Company's expectation of further demand growth in water-activated tapes,
the Company has also begun an initiative to further expand capacity at
the Midland, North Carolina manufacturing facility, which is expected to
be completed by the beginning of 2019 for an expected, additional
investment of $13.5 million.
-- As of November 10, 2017, the Company repurchased and cancelled 487,300
common shares under its normal course issuer bid for a total purchase
price of approximately $7 million.
-- On November 10, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.14 per common share payable on December 29, 2017 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on December 15, 2017.
These dividends will be designated by the Company as "eligible
dividends" as defined in Subsection 89(1) of the Income Tax Act
(Canada).
"We are pleased by our third quarter results with Adjusted EBITDA of $32.4 million and revenue growth of 18%. Our acquisitions proved to be important contributors to revenue growth, and their contribution to adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to gradually increase over the next few quarters," said Greg Yull, President and CEO.
"During the third quarter, we are happy to announce that we started commercial production of water-activated tapes at our new manufacturing facility in Midland, North Carolina. This major project of approximately $46 million will be substantially completed on time and on budget by the end of 2017. We are ramping up to target operating levels in the fourth quarter as planned. Given the success of this project to date and positive outlook in demand for the associated products, we are planning to further increase manufacturing capacity at this site in early 2019.
"On a less pleasing note, the major storms that hit the southern United States in the quarter have disrupted the supply chain of some key raw materials and caused sharp increases in prices. To offset the rise in input costs, we have announced price increases to our customers. At this time, we don't expect any material impact on 2017 results. Our hearts go out to the people and businesses negatively affected by these storms and we wish to thank all of our customers, suppliers and employees for mitigating the potentially negative impacts on the Company.
"We have revised our 2017 adjusted EBITDA outlook to reflect changes in the calculation to exclude the impact of M&A Costs, a common practice for many public companies. As we accelerate our acquisition program and as a result of completing several transactions in 2017, the associated expenses increased significantly and have exceeded $5 million in the first nine months of 2017. Consequently, the revised adjusted EBITDA range of $126 to $130 million has increased from the previous range of $120 to $127 million," concluded Mr. Yull.
Outlook
The Company's expectations for the fiscal year and fourth quarter of 2017 are as follows:
-- Fiscal year 2017 gross margin is now expected to be between 22% to
22.5%, which is lower than the previously stated range of 22.5% to 23%,
due primarily to the impact of non-cash purchase price accounting
adjustments related to the Cantech Acquisition.
-- Fiscal year 2017 adjusted EBITDA has been revised to be between $126 to
$130 million from the previously stated range of $120 to $127 million,
to reflect the new definition of adjusted EBITDA which excludes M&A
Costs. These M&A Costs totalled $5.3 million in the first nine months of
2017.
-- As a result of strong year-to-date performance in the Company's
manufacturing cost reduction program, fiscal year 2017 manufacturing
cost reductions are now expected to exceed the previously stated range
of $10 to $12 million.
-- Due primarily to the progress on the Capstone Greenfield Project(1),
fiscal year 2017 capital expenditures are now expected to be between $85
and $90 million, an increase from the previously stated range of $75 to
$85 million.
-- The effective tax rate for 2017 is still expected to be 25% to 30%,
however, given the current mix of earnings between jurisdictions, cash
taxes paid in 2017 are now expected to be approximately a third of the
income tax expense in 2017 (previously expected to be approximately
half), excluding the potential impact of any significant tax reform
legislation and further changes in the mix of earnings between
jurisdictions.
-- Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2017 is expected to be greater than in
the fourth quarter of 2016.
-- Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2017 is expected to be greater
than in the fourth quarter of 2016, excluding the positive impact of the
South Carolina Flood Insurance Proceeds in the fourth quarter of 2016.
-- Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2017 is expected to be greater
than in the fourth quarter of 2016, excluding the positive impact of the
South Carolina Flood Insurance Proceeds in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2016 has been revised to $35.6
million, to reflect the new definition of adjusted EBITDA which excludes
M&A costs. These M&A Costs totalled $0.3 million in the fourth quarter
of 2016.
(1) "Capstone Greenfield Project" refers to the construction of a greenfield
manufacturing facility as part of the Company's investment in Capstone
Polyweave Private Limited, a newly-formed enterprise in India.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under applicable securities legislation, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flows. In determining these measures, the Company excludes certain items which are otherwise included in determining the comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company believes such non-GAAP financial measures improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company's results and provide investors with more insight into, and an additional tool to understand and assess, the performance of the Company's ongoing core business operations. As required by applicable securities legislation, the Company has provided definitions of those measures and reconciliations of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures set forth below and should consider non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
A reconciliation of the Company's EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net earnings (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set out in the EBITDA reconciliation table below. EBITDA should not be construed as earnings (loss) before income taxes, net earnings (loss) or cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP. The Company defines EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before (i) interest and other finance costs; (ii) income tax expense (benefit); (iii) amortization of intangible assets; and (iv) depreciation of property, plant and equipment. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before (i) manufacturing facility closures, restructuring and other related charges (recoveries); (ii) advisory fees and other costs associated with mergers and acquisitions activity, including due diligence, integration and certain non-cash purchase price accounting adjustments ("M&A Costs"); (iii) share-based compensation expense (benefit); (iv) impairment of goodwill; (v) impairment (reversal of impairment) of long-lived assets and other assets; (vi) write-down on assets classified as held-for-sale; (vii) (gain) loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment; and (viii) other discrete items as shown in the table below. The terms "EBITDA" and "adjusted EBITDA" do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities or as alternatives to net earnings (loss) as indicators of the Company's operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they allow investors to make a more meaningful comparison between periods of the Company's performance, underlying business trends and the Company's ongoing operations. The Company further believes these measures may be useful in comparing its operating performance with the performance of other companies that may have different financing and capital structures, and tax rates. Adjusted EBITDA excludes costs that are not considered by management to be representative of the Company's underlying core operating performance, including certain non-operating expenses, non-cash expenses and non-recurring expenses. In addition, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used by management to set targets and are metrics that, among others, can be used by the Company's Compensation Committee to establish performance bonus metrics and payout, and by the Company's lenders and investors to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to service its debt, finance capital expenditures and acquisitions, and provide for the payment of dividends to shareholders.

Free Cash Flows
Free cash flows is defined by the Company as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment.
The Company is reporting free cash flows, a non-GAAP financial measure, because it is used by management and investors in evaluating the Company's performance and liquidity. Free cash flows does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Free cash flows should not be interpreted to represent the total cash movement for the period as described in the Company's Financial Statements, or to represent residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, as it excludes other mandatory expenditures such as debt service.
A reconciliation of free cash flows to cash flows from operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth below.
