|
On July 7, 2015, the Company announced its intention to consolidate its domestic production for PE Films by restructuring the operations in its manufacturing facility in Lake Zurich, Illinois. Efforts to transition domestic production from the Lake Zurich manufacturing facility will require various machinery upgrades and equipment transfers to its other manufacturing facilities. Given PE Films’ focus on maintaining product quality and customer satisfaction, the Company anticipates that these activities will be completed in the middle of 2017. Total pre-tax cash expenditures associated with restructuring the Lake Zurich manufacturing facility are expected to be approximately $16-17 million over this period, and once complete, annual pre-tax cash cost savings are expected to be approximately $5-6 million.
The Company expects to recognize costs associated with the exit and disposal activities of approximately $5-6 million over the project period. Exit and disposal costs include severance charges and other employee-related expenses arising from the termination of employees of approximately $3-4 million and equipment transfers and other facility consolidation-related costs of approximately $2 million. During the same period of time, operating expenses will include the acceleration of approximately $3 million of non-cash depreciation expense for certain machinery and equipment at the Lake Zurich manufacturing facility. Total expenses associated with the North American facility consolidation project were $1.4 million and $2.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively ($0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, included in “Asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities” and $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, included in “Cost of goods sold” in the consolidated statement of income). Total expenses since the inception of the project were $4.7 million.
Total estimated cash expenditures of $16-17 million over the project period include the following:
| |
• | Cash outlays associated with previously discussed exit and disposal expenses of approximately $5 million, including additional operating expenses of approximately $1 million associated with customer product qualifications on upgraded and transferred production lines; |
| |
• | Capital expenditures associated with equipment upgrades at other PE Films manufacturing facilities in the U.S. of approximately $11 million; and |
| |
• | Cash incentives of approximately $1 million in connection with meeting safety and quality standards while production ramps down at the Lake Zurich manufacturing facility. |
Cash expenditures for the North American facility consolidation project were $3.6 million and $5.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively, which includes capital expenditures of $2.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Total cash expenditures since the inception of the project were $9.4 million, which includes $7.4 million for capital expenditures.

6. | In August 2007 and December 2008, the Company made an aggregate investment of $7.5 million in kaléo, a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to building innovative solutions for serious and life-threatening medical conditions. The mission of kaléo is to provide products that empower patients to confidently take control of their medical conditions. Tredegar’s ownership interest on a fully diluted basis was approximately 19% at June 30, 2016, and the investment is accounted for under the fair value method. At the time of the initial investment, the Company elected the fair value option over the equity method of accounting since its investment objectives were similar to those of venture capitalists, which typically do not have controlling financial interests. |
The estimated fair value of the investment in kaléo (also the carrying value, which is included in “Other assets and deferred charges” in the consolidated balance sheets) was $19.7 million at June 30, 2016 and $18.6 million at December 31, 2015. Unrealized gains of $0.3 million and $1.1 million were recognized in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively (no unrealized gain (loss) in the first six months of 2015). The change in the estimated fair value of the Company’s holding in kaléo in the second quarter of 2016 primarily related to favorable adjustments in the fair value for the passage of time. The change in the estimated fair value of the Company’s holding in kaléo in the first six months of 2016 was primarily attributed to favorable adjustments in the fair value for the passage of time and with the negotiated terms of the termination of Sanofi’s exclusive rights license for Auvi-Q and Allerject in North America and the return of such rights to kaléo.
Unrealized gains (losses) associated with this investment are included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income and separately stated in the segment operating profit table in Note 9. Subsequent to its most recent investment (December 15, 2008), and until the next round of financing, the Company believes fair value estimates are based upon Level 3 inputs since there is no secondary market for its ownership interest. Accordingly, until the next round of financing or any other significant financial transaction, value estimates will primarily be based on assumptions relating to achieving product development and commercialization milestones, cash flow projections (projections of sales, costs, expenses, capital expenditures and working capital investment) and discounting of these factors for their high degree of risk. If kaléo does not meet its development and commercialization milestones or there are indications that the amount or timing of its projected cash flows or related risks are unfavorable versus the most recent valuation, or a new round of financing or other significant financial transaction indicates a lower enterprise value, then the Company’s estimate of the fair value of its ownership interest in kaléo is likely to decline. Adjustments to the estimated fair value of this investment will be made in the period upon which such changes can be quantified.
In addition to the impact on valuation of the possible changes in assumptions, Level 3 inputs and projections from changes in business conditions, the fair market valuation of the Company’s interest in kaléo is sensitive to changes in the weighted average cost of capital used to discount cash flow projections for the high degree of risk associated with meeting development and commercialization milestones as anticipated. The weighted average cost of capital used in
the fair market valuation of Tredegar’s interest in kaléo was 45% at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. At June 30, 2016, the effect of a 500 basis point decrease in the weighted average cost of capital assumption would have increased the fair value of the Company’s interest in kaléo by approximately $6 million, and a 500 basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital assumption would have decreased the fair value of the Company’s interest by approximately $5 million.
Had the Company not elected to account for its investment under the fair value method, it would have been required to use the equity method of accounting. The condensed balance sheets for kaléo at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and condensed statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, as reported to the Company by kaléo, are provided below:

(b) “Expenses and other, net” includes selling, general and administrative expense, research and development expense, gain on contract termination, interest expense and other income (expense), net. Excluding the gain on contract termination recognized in the first quarter of 2016, “Expenses and other, net” would have been a net deduction of $18.7 million and $35.7 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively. |
The Company’s investment in the Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“Harbinger Fund”) had a carrying value (included in “Other assets and deferred charges”) of $1.7 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The carrying value at June 30, 2016 reflected Tredegar’s cost basis in its investment in the Harbinger Fund, net of total withdrawal proceeds received and unrealized losses. No withdrawal proceeds were received in the first six months of 2016 or 2015. The timing and amount of future installments of withdrawal proceeds, which commenced in August 2010, were not known as of June 30, 2016. Gains on the Company’s investment in the Harbinger Fund will be recognized when the amounts expected to be collected from any withdrawal from the investment are known, which will likely be when cash in excess of the remaining carrying value is received. Losses will be recognized when management believes it is probable that future withdrawal proceeds will not exceed the remaining carrying value.

7. | Tredegar uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging margin exposure from fixed-price forward sales contracts in Aluminum Extrusions and currency exchange rate exposures that exist as part of ongoing business operations (primarily in PE Films). These derivative financial instruments are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative instruments recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are based upon Level 2 inputs. If individual derivative instruments with the same counterparty can be settled on a net basis, the Company records the corresponding derivative fair values as a net asset or net liability. |
In the normal course of business, Aluminum Extrusions enters into fixed-price forward sales contracts with certain customers for the future sale of fixed quantities of aluminum extrusions at scheduled intervals. In order to hedge
margin exposure created from the fixing of future sales prices relative to volatile raw material (aluminum) costs, Aluminum Extrusions enters into a combination of forward purchase commitments and futures contracts to acquire or hedge aluminum, based on the scheduled purchases for the firm sales commitments. The fixed-price firm sales commitments and related hedging instruments generally have durations of not more than 12 months, and the notional amount of aluminum futures contracts that hedged future purchases of aluminum to meet fixed-price forward sales contract obligations was $14.4 million (17.5 million pounds of aluminum) at June 30, 2016 and $16.6 million (18.9 million pounds of aluminum) at December 31, 2015.
The table below summarizes the location and gross amounts of aluminum futures contract fair values in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

In the event that a counterparty to an aluminum fixed-price forward sales contract chooses not to take delivery of its aluminum extrusions, the customer is contractually obligated to compensate Aluminum Extrusions for any losses on the related aluminum futures and/or forward contracts through the date of cancellation.
These derivative contracts involve elements of market risk that are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet, including the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts. The counterparties to any forward purchase commitments are major aluminum brokers and suppliers, and the counterparties to any aluminum futures contracts are major financial institutions. Fixed-price forward sales contracts are only made available to the best and most credit-worthy customers. The counterparties to our foreign currency futures and zero-cost collar contracts are major financial institutions.
The effect on net income and other comprehensive income (loss) of derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges and described in the previous paragraphs for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is summarized in the table below:

As of June 30, 2016, the Company expects $0.1 million of unrealized after-tax losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, net gains or losses realized, from previously unrealized net gains or losses on hedges that had been discontinued, were not material.
| |
8. | The Company sponsors noncontributory defined benefit (pension) plans covering most employees. The plans for salaried and hourly employees currently in effect are based on a formula using the participant’s years of service and compensation or using the participant’s years of service and a dollar amount. The plan was closed to new participants in 2006 and pay for active plan participants was frozen as of December 31, 2007. With the exception of plan participants at one of Tredegar’s U.S. manufacturing facilities, the plan no longer accrues benefits associated with crediting employees for service, thereby freezing future benefits under the plan. |

Pension and other post-retirement liabilities were $99.0 million and $101.0 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively ($0.6 million included in “Accrued expenses” at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, with the remainder included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets). The Company’s required contributions are expected to be approximately $6 million in 2016. There was a contribution to the pension plan in the amount of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. Tredegar funds its other post-retirement benefits (life insurance and health benefits) on a claims-made basis, which the Company anticipates will be consistent with amounts paid for the year ended December 31, 2015, or $0.3 million.

9. | The Company’s business segments are PE Films, Flexible Packaging and Aluminum Extrusions. Information by business segment is reported below. Tredegar had historically reported two business segments: Film Products and Aluminum Extrusions. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company divided Film Products into two separate reportable segments: PE Films and Flexible Packaging Films. All historical results for PE Films and Flexible Packaging Films have been separately presented to conform with the new presentation of segments. There are no accounting transactions between segments and no allocations to segments. Net sales (sales less freight) and operating profit from ongoing operations are the measures of sales and operating profit used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing performance. |
The following table presents net sales and operating profit by segment for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

10. | Tredegar recorded a tax expense of $4.5 million on pre-tax net income of $15.2 million in the first six months of 2016. The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2016 was 29.8%, compared to 35.2% in the first six months of 2015. The significant differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows: |

The Brazilian federal statutory income tax rate is a composite of 34.0% (25.0% of income tax and 9.0% of social contribution on income). Terphane Holdings LLC’s (“Terphane”) manufacturing facility in Brazil is the beneficiary of certain income tax incentives that allow for a reduction in the statutory Brazilian federal income tax rate to 15.25% levied on the operating profit on certain of its products. The incentives have been granted for a 10-year period, which has a retroactive commencement date of January 1, 2015. No benefit was recognized from these tax incentives in the first six months of 2016 or 2015.
In connection with its capacity expansion project in Brazil, the Company paid certain social taxes associated with the purchase of machinery and equipment and construction of buildings and other long-term assets. Payments of these taxes in Brazil were included in “Net cash used in investing activities” given the nature of the underlying use of cash (e.g. the purchase of property, plant and equipment). The Company can recover tax credits associated with the purchase of machinery and equipment at different points over a period up to 24 months. Once the machinery and equipment was placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company started applying these tax credits against various other taxes due in Brazil, with their recovery being reflected as cash received from investing activities, consistent with the classification of the original payments.
Tredegar accrues U.S. federal income taxes on unremitted earnings of all foreign subsidiaries. Prior to the second quarter of 2016, deferred U.S. federal income taxes had not been recorded for the undistributed earnings for Terphane Ltda. because the Company had intended to permanently reinvest these earnings. Due to concerns about the current political and economic conditions in Brazil, Terphane Ltda. has begun making cash distributions to the Company. During the second quarter of 2016, Terphane Ltda. paid a dividend of $10.7 million to the Company. Because of the
accumulation of significant losses related to foreign currency translations at Terphane Ltda., there were no unrecorded deferred tax liabilities associated with the U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on Terphane Ltda.’s undistributed earnings as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Income taxes in 2016 included a partial reversal of a valuation allowance of $0.1 million related to the expected limitations on the utilization of assumed capital losses on certain investments that were recognized in prior years. Income taxes in 2015 included the partial reversal of a valuation allowance of $0.3 million related to the expected limitations on the utilization of assumed capital losses on certain investments. The Company had a valuation allowance for excess capital losses from investments and other related items of $10.8 million at June 30, 2016. Tredegar continues to evaluate opportunities to utilize these loss carryforwards prior to their expiration at various dates in the future. As events and circumstances warrant, allowances will be reversed when it is more likely than not that future taxable income will exceed deductible amounts, thereby resulting in the realization of deferred tax assets.
Tredegar and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S., various states and jurisdictions outside the U.S. With few exceptions, Tredegar and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.

11. | On March 1, 2016, Tredegar entered into a $400 million five-year, secured revolving credit facility (“Credit Agreement”), with an option to increase that amount by $50 million. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s previous $350 million five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility that was due to expire on April 17, 2017. In connection with the refinancing, the Company borrowed $107 million under the Credit Agreement, which was used, together with available cash on hand, to repay all indebtedness under the previous revolving credit facility. |
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread and commitment fees charged on the unused amount under the Credit Agreement at various indebtedness-to-adjusted EBITDA levels as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
Pricing Under Credit Revolving Agreement (Basis Points) |
Indebtedness-to-Adjusted EBITDA Ratio | Credit Spread Over LIBOR | | Commitment Fee |
> 3.5x but <= 4.0x | 250 |
| | 45 |
|
> 3.0x but <= 3.5x | 225 |
| | 40 |
|
> 2.0x but <= 3.0x | 200 |
| | 35 |
|
> 1.0x but <= 2.0x | 175 |
| | 30 |
|
<= 1.0x | 150 |
| | 25 |
|
At June 30, 2016, the interest cost on debt borrowed under the Credit Agreement was priced at one-month LIBOR plus the applicable credit spread of 175 basis points.
The most restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement include:
| |
• | Maximum indebtedness-to-adjusted EBITDA (“Leverage Ratio:) of 4.00x; |
| |
• | Minimum adjusted EBIT-to-interest expense of 2.50x; and |
| |
• | Maximum aggregate distributions to shareholders over the term of the Credit Agreement of $100,000 plus, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, 50% of net income and, at a Leverage Ratio of equal to or greater than 3.00x, a limitation on such payments for the succeeding quarter at the greater of (i) $4 million and (ii) 50% of consolidated net income for the most recent fiscal quarter, and, at a Leverage Ratio of equal to or greater than 3.50x, the prevention of such payments for the succeeding quarter unless the fixed charge coverage ratio is equal to or greater than 1.20x. |
The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2016, Tredegar was in compliance with all financial covenants outlined in the Credit Agreement.

12. | In 2011, Tredegar was notified by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) that certain film products exported by Terphane to the U.S. since November 6, 2008 could be subject to duties associated with an antidumping duty order on imported PET films from Brazil. The Company contested the applicability of these antidumping duties to the films exported by Terphane, and it filed a request with the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) for clarification about whether the film products at issue are within the scope of the antidumping duty order. On January 8, 2013, Commerce issued a scope ruling confirming that the films are not subject to the order, provided that Terphane can establish to the satisfaction of U.S. Customs that the performance enhancing layer on those films is greater than 0.00001 inches thick. The films at issue are manufactured to specifications that exceed that threshold. On February 6, 2013, certain U.S. producers of PET film filed a summons with the U.S. Court of International Trade to appeal the scope ruling from Commerce. If U.S. Customs ultimately were to require the collection of anti-dumping duties because Commerce’s scope ruling was overturned on appeal, or otherwise, indemnifications for related liabilities are specifically provided for under the purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired Terphane. In December 2014, the U.S. International Trade Commission voted to revoke the anti-dumping duty order on imported PET films from Brazil. The revocation, as a result of the vote by the U.S. International Trade Commission, was effective as of November 2013. On February 20, 2015, certain U.S. producers of PET films filed a summons with the U.S. Court of International Trade to appeal the determination by the U.S. International Trade Commission. |

13. | In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued their converged standard on revenue recognition. The revised revenue standard contains principles that an entity will apply to direct the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that the recognition of revenue should depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve that core principle, an entity will utilize a principle-based five-step approach model. The converged standard also includes more robust disclosure requirements which will require entities to provide sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In March 2016, amended guidance was issued regarding clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and in April 2016, clarifying guidance was issued relating to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. The effective date of this revised standard is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that annual reporting period. The converged standard can be adopted either retrospectively or through the use of a practical expedient. The Company is still assessing the impact of this new guidance. |
In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance for the measurement of inventories. Inventories within the scope of the revised guidance should be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The previous guidance dictated that inventory should be measured at the lower of cost or market, with market being either replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less an approximation of normal profit margin. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventories measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016, including the interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still assessing the impact of this new guidance.
In January 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance associated with accounting for equity investments measured at fair value. The amended guidance requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amended guidance also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this update eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, including the interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of the update. Early adoption is permitted under limited, specific circumstances. The Company is still assessing the impact of this amended guidance.
In February 2016, the FASB issued a revised standard on lease accounting. Lessees will need to recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet, by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability. The revised standard requires additional analysis of the components of a transaction to determine if a right-to-use asset is embedded in the transaction that needs to be treated as a lease. Substantial additional disclosures are also required by the revised standard. The revised standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018, including the interim periods within those fiscal years. The revised standard should be applied on a modified retrospective approach or through the use of a practical expedient, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still assessing the impact of this revised standard.
In March 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016, including the interim periods within those fiscal years. The updated standard can be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is not expecting to be materially impacted by this amended guidance.

Executive Summary
Tredegar is a manufacturer of polyethylene plastic films through its PE Films segment, polyester films through its Flexible Packaging segment and aluminum extrusions through its Aluminum Extrusions segment. PE Films is comprised of personal care materials, surface protection films, polyethylene overwrap films and films for other markets. Flexible Packaging Films produces polyester-based films for use in packaging applications that have specialized properties, such as heat resistance, strength, barrier protection and the ability to accept high-quality print graphics. Aluminum Extrusions produces high-quality, soft-alloy and medium-strength aluminum extrusions primarily for building and construction, automotive, consumer durables, machinery and equipment, electrical and distribution markets.
Tredegar had historically reported two business segments: Film Products and Aluminum Extrusions. In 2015, the Company divided Film Products into two separate reportable segments: PE Films and Flexible Packaging Films. All historical results for PE Films and Flexible Packaging Films have been separately presented to conform with the new presentation of segments.
Second-quarter 2016 net income was $3.4 million ($0.10 per share) compared with net income of $0.6 million ($0.02 per share) in the second quarter of 2015. Net income was $10.7 million ($0.33 per share) in first six months of 2016 and $10.5 million ($0.32 per share) in the first six months of 2015. Losses related to plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items are described in Note 2 on page 7. Net sales (sales less freight) and operating profit from ongoing operations are the measures of sales and operating profit used by the chief operating decision maker of each segment for purposes of
assessing performance. See the table in Note 9 on page 17 for a presentation of Tredegar’s net sales and operating profit by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Second-Quarter Results vs. Prior Year Second Quarter Results
Net sales (sales less freight) in the second quarter of 2016 decreased by $11.1 million versus 2015 primarily due to:
| |
• | The loss of business with PE Films’ largest customer related to various product transitions in personal care materials ($4.9 million); |
| |
• | Additional loss of business for the remaining portion of personal care materials and within polyethylene overwrap films ($1.6 million); |
| |
• | A decline in volume in surface protection films ($3.8 million) that is believed to be primarily the result of lower consumer demand for products with flat panel displays, resulting in lower capacity utilization by component manufacturers in the supply chain; and |
| |
• | The unfavorable impact from the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside of the U.S. ($1.1 million). |
As noted above, current year sales volume has declined in part due to the wind down of shipments for certain personal care materials related to various previously announced known product transitions and business lost, primarily with PE Films’ largest customer. In addition, efforts to consolidate domestic manufacturing facilities in PE Films commenced in the third quarter of 2015 (“North American facility consolidation”). This restructuring project is not expected to be completed until the middle of 2017, and once complete, annual pre-tax cash cost savings are expected to be approximately $5-6 million on cash-related expenditures. Exit costs are expected to be approximately $17 million. The table below summarizes the pro forma operating profit from ongoing operations for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, had the impact of the events noted above been fully realized:

|
Net sales associated with known lost business and product transitions that have yet to be fully eliminated were $2.9 million and $9.3 million in the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Net of the impact of known lost business and product transitions, pro forma estimated operating profit from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2016 decreased by $3.4 million versus the second quarter of 2015. The change can be primarily attributed to:
| |
• | Lower contribution to profits from surface protection films of $2.8 million, primarily due to lower volume, sales mix changes and lower productivity (see additional commentary below); |
| |
• | The unfavorable impact of the lower volume from the remaining portion of personal care materials and within polyethylene overwrap films of $0.8 million; |
| |
• | Higher research and development (“R&D”) expenses to support new product opportunities partially offset by lower general, sales and administrative expenses ($0.8 million); and |
| |
• | The favorable lag in the pass-through of average resin costs in the second quarter of 2016 versus 2015 of $1.0 million; |
The surface protection operating segment of the PE Films reporting segment supports manufacturers of optical and other specialty substrates used in flat panel display products. These films are primarily used by customers to protect components of displays in the manufacturing and transportation process and then discarded. In the first half of 2016, the Company believes that the decline in sales volume for surface protection films was largely due to a decline in consumer demand for products using displays, including LCD TVs, notebooks, tablets and smartphones, which we expect to continue to the end of this year.
The Company believes that, over the next few years, there is an increased risk that a portion of its film used in surface protection applications will be made obsolete by possible future customer product transitions to less costly alternative processes or materials. The Company estimates on a preliminary basis that the annual adverse impact on ongoing operating profit from customer shifts to alternative processes or materials in surface protection is in the range of up to $5 to $10 million. Given the technological and commercial complexity involved in bringing these alternative processes and materials to market, the Company is very uncertain as to the timing and ultimate amount of the possible transitions, although the Company expects to see certain impacts in the second half of this year. In response, the Company is aggressively pursuing new surface protection products, applications and customers.
The Company’s previously announced anticipated product transition in its personal care business, which was expected to occur after 2017, is now projected to occur after 2018. The estimated annual adverse impact on ongoing operating profit from this additional product transition remains unchanged at $10 million.
Amounts estimated for the expected impact on future profits of lost business and product transitions are provided on a stand-alone basis and do not include any potential offsets such as sales growth and cost reductions.
The Company expects to increase R&D spending in 2016 in PE Films by approximately $5 million compared with 2015, with a focus on developing materials that improve cost and performance for customers.
Year-To-Date Results vs. Prior Year Year-To-Date Results
Net sales in the first six months of 2016 decreased by $29.0 million versus 2015 primarily due to:
| |
• | The loss of business with PE Films’ largest customer related to various product transitions in personal care materials ($10.9 million); |
| |
• | Additional loss of business for the remaining portion of personal care materials and within polyethylene overwrap films ($5.2 million); |
| |
• | A decline in volume in surface protection films ($6.4 million) that is believed to be the result of lower consumer demand for products with flat panel display screens in comparison to strong demand in the first six months of 2015, resulting in lower capacity utilization and inventory corrections by manufacturers in the supply chain; and |
| |
• | The unfavorable impact from the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside of the U.S. ($3.8 million). |
Consistent with the pro forma information provided for second quarter operating results, the table below summarizes the pro forma operating results for the first six months of 2016 and 2015 had the impact of various known product transitions and lost business and efforts to consolidate domestic PE Films manufacturing facilities been fully realized:

Net of the impact of known lost business and product transitions, pro forma estimated operating profit from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2016 decreased by $6.5 million versus the first six months of 2015. The decrease can be primarily attributed to:
| |
• | Lower contribution to profits from surface protection films of $4.0 million, primarily due to lower volume and sales mix changes; |
| |
• | The unfavorable impact of the lower volume from the remainder of personal care materials and within polyethylene overwrap films of $0.7 million; |
| |
• | The unfavorable lag in the pass-through of average resin costs in the first six months of 2016 versus 2015 of $1.1 million; and |
| |
• | Higher research and development expenses of $2.4 million to support new product opportunities offset by lower general, sales and administrative expenses of $1.4 million. |
Restructuring
On July 7, 2015, the Company announced its intention to consolidate its domestic production for PE Films by restructuring the operations in its manufacturing facility in Lake Zurich, Illinois. Efforts to transition domestic production from the Lake Zurich manufacturing facility will require various machinery upgrades and equipment transfers to its other manufacturing facilities. Given PE Films’ focus on maintaining product quality and customer satisfaction, the Company anticipates that these activities will be completed in the middle of 2017. Total pre-tax cash expenditures associated with restructuring the Lake Zurich manufacturing facility are expected to be approximately $16-17 million over this period, and once complete, annual pre-tax cash cost savings are expected to be approximately $5-6 million.
The Company expects to recognize costs associated with the exit and disposal activities of approximately $5-6 million over the project period. Exit and disposal costs include severance charges and other employee-related expenses arising from the termination of employees of approximately $3-4 million and equipment transfers and other facility consolidation-related costs of approximately $2 million. During the same period of time, operating expenses will include the acceleration of approximately $3 million of non-cash depreciation expense for certain machinery and equipment at the Lake Zurich manufacturing facility. Total expenses associated with the North American facility consolidation project were $1.4 million and $2.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively ($0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, included in “Asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities” and $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, included in “Cost of goods sold” in the consolidated statement of income). Total expenses since the inception of the project were $4.7 million.
Total estimated cash expenditures of $16-17 million over the project period include the following:
| |
• | Cash outlays associated with previously discussed exit and disposal expenses of approximately $5 million, including additional operating expenses of approximately $1 million associated with customer product qualifications on upgraded and transferred production lines; |
| |
• | Capital expenditures associated with equipment upgrades at other PE Films manufacturing facilities in the U.S. of approximately $11 million; and |
| |
• | Cash incentives of approximately $1 million in connection with meeting safety and quality standards while production ramps down at the Lake Zurich manufacturing facility. |
Cash expenditures for the North American facility consolidation project were $3.6 million and $5.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, which includes $2.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. Total cash expenditures since the inception of the project were $9.4 million, which includes $7.4 million for capital expenditures.
Capital Expenditures, Depreciation & Amortization
Capital expenditures in PE Films were $13.9 million in the first six months of 2016 compared to $7.7 million in the first six months of 2015. PE Films currently estimates that total capital expenditures in 2016 will be $30 million, including approximately $10 million for routine capital expenditures required to support operations. Capital spending for strategic projects in 2016 includes expansion of elastics capacity in Europe, expansion of surface protection films capacity in China, the North American facility consolidation and added capacity for the production of a new topsheet for feminine hygiene products. Depreciation expense was $6.6 million in the first six months of 2016 and $7.8 million in the first six months of 2015. Depreciation expense is projected to be $14 million in 2016. Amortization expense was $57,000 in the first six months of 2016 and $69,000 in the first six months of 2015, and is projected to be $0.1 million in 2016.
Flexible Packaging Films
The operations of Flexible Packaging Films, which is also referred to as Terphane, continue to be adversely impacted by competitive pressures that are primarily related to ongoing unfavorable economic conditions in its primary market of Brazil and excess global capacity in the industry. The Company believes that these conditions have shifted the competitive environment from a regional to a global landscape and have driven price convergence and lower product margins for Terphane in Brazil. While recent favorable anti-dumping rulings have been issued against China, Egypt and India, authorities in Brazil have initiated new investigations of dumping against Peru and Bahrain.

Second-Quarter Results vs. Prior Year Second Quarter Results
Net sales in the second quarter of 2016 decreased versus 2015 primarily due to a decrease in average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volume. Higher sales volume, primarily in the nonresidential building and construction and automotive markets, had a favorable impact of $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2016 versus the second quarter of 2015. Lower average selling prices, which had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $8.1 million, can be primarily attributed to a decrease in aluminum market prices, which dropped from an average of $0.98/lb during the second quarter of 2015 to $0.79/lb in the second quarter of 2016.
Operating profit from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2016 increased in comparison to the second quarter of 2015 by $2.6 million as a result of the following:
| |
• | The favorable impact of higher volume ($0.8 million) and higher marginal pricing (selling price increase excluding the effect of the drop in aluminum market prices) ($1.1 million); |
| |
• | Lower freight and utilities costs of $0.7 million in 2016 driven by a decline in energy prices and operational efficiencies of $0.3 million, offset by inflationary cost increases to supplies and wages ($0.5 million); and |
| |
• | Lower project expenses versus second quarter of 2015 related to anodizing capacity expansion ($0.2 million). |
Year-To-Date Results vs. Prior Year Year-To-Date Results
Net sales in the first six months of 2016 decreased versus 2015 primarily due to a decrease in average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volume. Higher sales volume, primarily in the nonresidential building and construction and automotive markets, had a favorable impact of $7.6 million in the first six months of 2016 versus the first six months of 2015. Lower average selling prices, which had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $20.1 million, can be primarily attributed to a decrease in average aluminum market prices.
Operating profit from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2016 increased in comparison to the first six months of 2015 by $4.8 million as a result of the following:
| |
• | The favorable impact of higher volume ($1.4 million) and higher marginal pricing (selling price increase excluding the effect of the drop in aluminum market prices) ($1.0 million); |
| |
• | Lower freight and utilities costs of $1.5 million in 2016 driven by a decline in energy prices; and |
| |
• | Lower project expenses versus first six months of 2015 related to anodizing capacity expansion ($0.7 million). |
Cast House Explosion
On June 29, 2016, the Bonnell Aluminum plant in Newnan, Georgia suffered an explosion in the casting department resulting in injuries to five employees, one seriously. The explosion caused significant damage to the cast house and equipment. After assuring the health and safety of employees, production in the extrusion and finishing areas of the plant resumed on June 30, 2016. The cause of the incident is still under investigation. The Company is evaluating various options for the repairs and/or replacement of the building and casting equipment and the timing for that work. The Newnan plant is now sourcing raw materials for its extrusion process from other Bonnell plants and from third party vendors.
Bonnell Aluminum has various forms of insurance to cover losses in the event of such incidents. These policies cover damage to buildings and equipment, third party claims as well as business interruption and additional expenses incurred as a result of the explosion. The Company is currently assessing the potential future liability related to this incident but, due to the timing of the incident at the end of the second quarter of 2016, uncertainties remain regarding the impairment of assets and future liabilities. The Company assessed the range of possible future liabilities and recorded its current best estimate. No receivable has been recorded for insurance recoveries and no asset impairments have been recorded, but an accrual of $0.6 million was recorded as of June 30, 2016 (included in “Asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities, net of adjustments”).
Capital Expenditures, Depreciation & Amortization
Capital expenditures for Aluminum Extrusions were $3.6 million in the first six months of 2016 compared to $5.3 million in the first six months of 2015. Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $22 million in 2016, which includes approximately $5 million for routine capital expenditures required to support operations and $14 million of a total $18 million projected to add extrusions capacity at the Niles, Michigan facility. Depreciation expense was $4.1 million in the first six months of 2016 compared to $4.3 million in the first six months of 2015, and is projected to be approximately $8 million in 2016. Amortization expense was $0.5 million in the first six months of 2016 and $0.5 million in the first six months of 2015, and is projected to be approximately $1 million in 2016.
Corporate Expenses, Interest and Taxes
Pension expense was $5.7 million in the first six months of 2016, a favorable change of $0.5 million from the first six months of 2015. Most of the impact on earnings from pension expense is reflected in “Corporate expenses, net” in the Net Sales and Operating Profit by Segment table. Pension expense is projected to be approximately $11.3 million in 2016. Corporate expenses, net, decreased in 2016 versus 2015. Expenses in the prior year included severance and other employee-related charges of $3.9 million associated with the resignations of the Company’s former chief executive and chief financial officers in the second quarter of 2015. Higher business development costs of $0.4 million in 2016 were offset by the lower pension expense.
Interest expense was $2.0 million in the first six months of 2016 in comparison to $1.8 million in the first six months of 2015. Interest expense in 2016 included the write off of $0.2 million in unamortized loan fees from the credit facility that was refinanced in the first quarter of 2016.
The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes in the first six months of 2016 was 29.8% compared to 35.2% in the first six months of 2015. The significant differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the first six months is shown in the table provided in Note 10 on page 18.
Net capitalization and other credit measures are provided in Liquidity and Capital Resources beginning on page 31.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments described in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” of the 2015 Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so Tredegar considers these to be its critical accounting policies. These policies include accounting for impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, investment accounted for under the fair value method, pension benefits and income taxes. These policies require management to exercise judgments that are often difficult, subjective and complex due to the necessity of estimating the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes the consistent application of these policies enables it to provide readers of the financial statements with useful and reliable information about our operating results and financial condition. Since December 31, 2015, there have been no changes in these policies that have had a material impact on results of operations or financial position. For more information on new accounting pronouncements, see Note 13 on page 20 for additional detail.
Results of Operations
Second Quarter of 2016 Compared with the Second Quarter of 2015
Overall, sales in the second quarter of 2016 decreased by 5.7% compared with the second quarter of 2015. Net sales decreased 12.1% in PE Films primarily due to lower volume primarily related to lost business, a decline in market demand for surface protection films and the unfavorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. Net sales in Flexible Packaging Films increased 16.6% due to higher volume driven by improved market conditions, partially offset by lower average selling prices as a result of the pass-through to customers of lower market-driven raw material costs and an unfavorable mix. Net sales decreased 4.8% in Aluminum Extrusions primarily due to lower average selling prices as a result of the pass-through to customers of lower market-driven raw material costs, partially offset by higher sales volume. For more information on net sales and volume, see the Executive Summary beginning on page 22.
Consolidated gross profit (sales minus cost of goods sold and freight) as a percentage of sales was 15.2% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 13.4% in the second quarter of 2015. The gross profit margin in PE Films decreased due to lower volume and the unfavorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. The gross profit margin in Flexible Packaging Films increased due to higher volume and operating efficiencies, partially offset by lower pricing driven by lower material prices and foreign currency transactional losses. The gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions increased primarily as a result of higher volume, improved mix, price increases, and lower utility and freight costs, partially offset by inflationary cost increases to supplies and wages.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) and R&D expenses were 11.9% in the second quarter of 2016, compared with 11.8% in the second quarter of last year. SG&A expenses decreased in 2016 due to lower compensation costs; 2015 included compensation accruals related to the departure of Tredegar’s former CEO and CFO. R&D expenses at PE Films were significantly higher in 2016 as the competitive dynamics of this industry require continuous development of new materials through R&D to improve cost and performance for customers. The Company expects spending by PE Films for R&D in 2016 to be higher than 2015 by approximately $5 million.
Plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items in the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 are shown in the segment operating profit table in Note 9 and are described in detail in Note 2. A discussion of unrealized gains and losses on investments can also be found in Note 6.

First Six Months of 2016 Compared with the First Six Months of 2015
Overall, sales in the first six months of 2016 decreased by 8.7% compared with the first six months of 2015. Net sales decreased 14.6% in PE Films primarily due to lower volume primarily related to lost business, a decline in market demand for surface protection films and the unfavorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. Net sales in Flexible Packaging Films increased 6.8% due to higher volume driven by improved market conditions, partially offset by lower average selling prices as a result of the pass-through to customers of lower market-driven raw material costs and an unfavorable mix. Net sales decreased 6.7% in Aluminum Extrusions primarily due to lower average selling prices as a result of the pass-through to customers of lower market-driven raw material costs, partially offset by higher sales volume.
Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 16.6% in the first six months of 2016 compared to 14.7% in the first six months of 2015. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was positively impacted by lower pension expenses in the first six months of 2016 compared to the first six months of 2015. As previously noted, most of the impact of pension expense is not allocated to the Company’s operating segments. The gross profit margin in PE Films decreased due to lower volume and the unfavorable impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. The gross profit margin in Flexible Packaging Films increased due to higher volume and operating efficiencies, partially offset by lower pricing driven by competitive pressures and lower material prices, and foreign currency transactional losses. The gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions increased primarily as a result of higher volume, lower utility and freight costs.
As a percentage of sales, SG&A and R&D expenses were 11.9% in the first six months of 2016, compared with 10.3% in the first six months of last year. R&D expenses at PE Films were higher in the 2016 as the competitive dynamics of this industry require continuous development of new materials through R&D to improve cost and performance for customers, partially offset by 2015 compensation accruals related to the departure of Tredegar’s former CEO and CFO.
Plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items in the first six months of 2016 and 2015 are shown in the segment operating profit table in Note 9 and are described in detail in Note 2. A discussion of unrealized gains and losses on investments can also be found in Note 6.
Interest expense increased from $1.8 million in the first six months of 2015 to $2.0 million in the first six months of 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Tredegar’s management continues to focus on improving working capital management, and measures such as days sales outstanding (“DSO”), days inventory outstanding (“DIO”) and days payables outstanding (“DPO”) are used to evaluate changes in working capital. Changes in operating assets and liabilities from December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2016 are summarized as follows:
| |
• | Accounts and other receivables increased $7.7 million (8.1%). |
| |
• | Accounts receivable in PE Films increased by $4.2 million primarily due to the impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. and the timing of cash receipts. DSO (represents trailing 12 months net sales divided by a rolling 12-month average of accounts and other receivables balances) was approximately 42.8 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016 and 42.7 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2015. |
| |
• | Accounts receivable in Flexible Packaging Films decreased by $0.5 million primarily due to the impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. DSO was approximately 58.9 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016 and 68.9 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2015. |

| |
• | Inventories increased $1.4 million (2.1%). |
| |
• | Inventories in PE Films increased by approximately $2.5 million primarily due to the impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. and the timing of purchases. DIO (represents trailing 12 months costs of goods sold calculated on a first-in, first-out basis divided by a rolling 12-month average of inventory balances calculated on the first-in, first-out basis) was approximately 48.6 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016 and 48.3 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2015. |
| |
• | Inventories in Flexible Packaging Films increased by approximately $1.6 million primarily due to the impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value of currencies for operations outside the U.S. DIO was approximately 78.6 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016 and 81.6 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2015. |
| |
• | Inventories in Aluminum Extrusions decreased by $2.7 million due to the lower average aluminum prices and the timing of purchases. DIO was approximately 28.1 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016 and 29.8 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2015. |
| |
• | Net property, plant and equipment increased $21.0 million (9.1%) primarily due to capital expenditures of $19.0 million and a change in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies ($16.3 million increase), partially offset by depreciation expenses of $13.8 million. |
| |
• | Accounts payable decreased $1.8 million (2.2%). |
| |
• | Accounts payable in PE Films increased $0.2 million due to the normal volatility associated with the timing of payments. DPO (represents trailing 12 months costs of goods sold calculated on a first-in, first-out basis divided by a rolling 12-month average of accounts payable balances) was approximately 38.7 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016 and 39.0 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2015. |
| |
• | Accounts payable in Flexible Packaging Films increased $1.5 million due to the normal volatility associated with the timing of payments. DPO was approximately 35.3 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016 and 34.2 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2015. |
| |
• | Accounts payable in Aluminum Extrusions decreased by $3.7 million primarily due to lower raw material prices, lower inventory balances and the normal volatility associated with the timing of inventory purchases. DPO was approximately 44.4 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016 and 48.0 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2015. |
Cash provided by operating activities was $18.1 million in the first six months of 2016 compared with $19.4 million in the first six months of 2015. The change is primarily related to normal volatility of working capital components.
Cash used in investing activities was $17.9 million in the first six months of 2016 compared with $13.8 million in the first six months of 2015. Cash used in investing activities primarily represents capital expenditures, which were $19.0 million and $14.4 million in the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Cash used in financing activities was $19.7 million in the first six months of 2016 and was primarily related to the payment of regular quarterly dividends of $7.2 million (22 cents per share) and net repayments of debt of $10.0 million.
