FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., Feb. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (NASDAQ:KALU), a leading producer of semi-fabricated specialty aluminum products, serving customers worldwide with highly-engineered solutions for aerospace and high-strength, packaging, general engineering, custom automotive and other industrial applications, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2021 results.
“This past year was transformational for the company, although one with a unique set of operational challenges,” said Keith A. Harvey, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we look ahead, we are confident in the processes and countermeasures we have put in place to address the significant challenges experienced in 2021, setting the stage for stronger performance in 2022. We also achieved a number of major milestones that served to strengthen the strategic positioning of our company as we continue to manage our business for long-term growth and profitability, including our strategic acquisition of the Warrick rolling mill, providing non-cyclic end market diversification of our portfolio and re-entry into the resurging North American aluminum packaging market. With confidence in the continued strength of our markets and the expected long-term growth in our businesses, along with our commitment to continue creating value for our shareholders, in early 2022 we increased our quarterly dividend 7.0% to $0.77 per share, an incremental increase from the 7.5% increase in early 2021.”
2021 Management Summary
Demand across the company’s end markets was mixed creating inefficiencies as the company adjusted to changing market conditions. While demand for general engineering and packaging applications remained strong, demand for automotive applications was muted throughout the year due to continued semiconductor chip shortages that significantly limited North American auto production. Recovery in demand for commercial aerospace applications continued to progress as anticipated but remained pressured, while demand for business jet and defense related applications remained strong. The company’s financial results for the full year 2021 reflected the impact of the demand environment, combined with rapidly rising costs, significant supply chain issues, labor constraints, continued market disruptions related to COVID-19, the declaration of force majeure by one of the company’s largest magnesium suppliers, and the complex integration of the Warrick acquisition.
The company’s commercial teams have been successful passing through price increases and instituting contained metals and commodity surcharges to offset the majority of higher materials costs. Operating efficiencies across all facilities have begun to improve and the supply chain issues experienced during most of the year have either been mitigated, resolved or addressed, with the exception of challenges the company continues to work through with its major magnesium supplier and metal supply to its Warrick facility.
2022 Outlook
The company is well-positioned for continued long-term growth with a diversified portfolio and strong secular growth trends in each of its served end markets. Notwithstanding near-term challenges, the fundamentals of aerospace, automotive and general engineering end markets are solid, and the company expects to deliver significant margin expansion to further enhance long-term profitability for the packaging business. The company remains confident around the timing of the recovery in commercial aerospace, and is optimistic that as semiconductor chip shortages are alleviated, automotive production will ramp back up and program launches will resume. The company also expects costs and operating efficiencies will continue to improve as its magnesium supply chain challenges and Warrick’s metal supply issues are resolved.
For the full year 2022, the company anticipates total value added revenue to be up 20% to 25% year-over-year due to further strengthening in demand for its products across all major markets and the benefit of a full year of the packaging operations. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to improve to 17% to 20% for the full year 2022, strengthening through the year, as supply chain issues are resolved, operations and efficiencies improve, costs normalize and the Warrick integration process is completed.
The company’s capital investment plans remain focused on supporting demand growth through capacity expansion, sustaining its operations, enhancing product quality and increasing operating efficiencies. The company anticipates total capital investment in 2022 will be approximately $200 million, of which approximately 60% is focused on growth initiatives, primarily reflecting investment in the new roll coat line at the Warrick facility.

Value added revenue for the full year 2021 increased 59% to $1.1 billion from $697 million in the prior year period, of which $389 million was related to the packaging business acquired at the end of the first quarter 2021, in addition to the continued improvement in the company’s general engineering and automotive applications. Value added revenue for the company’s aerospace/high strength applications decreased 15% to $315 million on a 7% decrease in shipments reflecting the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on commercial aerospace demand, while demand for business jet and defense applications remained strong. Value added revenue for automotive extrusions increased 16% to $97 million, reflecting a 12% increase in shipments primarily reflecting recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic related automotive supply chain shut downs during the second quarter 2020. Value added revenue for general engineering applications increased approximately 25% to $297 million on a 27% increase in shipments reflecting solid underlying demand, service center restocking and reshoring.
Adjusted EBITDA of $193 million in the full year 2021 increased $39 million compared to the prior year period, which reflected results from a record first quarter 2020 and the benefit of the additional $15 million related to modifications to 2020 customer declarations under multi-year contracts. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2021 reflected the benefit of the acquired packaging business in addition to improvement in the company’s automotive and general engineering applications, partially offset by $27 million of higher costs related to supply chain issues, labor and training, inflation and integration costs. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of value added revenue was 17.3% for the full year 2021, as compared to 22.1% in the prior year period.
Reported operating income for full year 2021 was approximately $64 million. Adjusting for approximately $37 million of non-run-rate charges, including $17 million of Warrick related integration costs and $5 million of non-cash benefits predominately associated with one-time purchase accounting adjustments related to hedging and LIFO inventory adjustments, operating income for the full year 2021 was approximately $101 million, compared to $102 million in the prior year period.
