“While our organization was not immune to the effects of the global pandemic in 2020, recovery momentum accelerated over the course of the year and culminated in strong fourth quarter top-line growth of 8% on an organic basis and 18% including our recent acquisition,” said Mike McGaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of Myers Industries. “We are executing against our long-term strategic plan and completed the acquisition of Elkhart Plastics during the quarter. We’ve already begun to integrate the Elkhart team into the Myers organization and believe our combination will bring new opportunities in the rotational molding industry.”

Mr. McGaugh continued, “We enter 2021 with strong top-line momentum, and a clear long-term vision to transform Myers into a high-growth, customer-centric innovator of engineered plastic solutions. Our ‘One Myers’ strategy remains focused on our four strategic pillars. These include: 1) driving organic growth through sales and commercial excellence, innovation, and eCommerce; 2) complementing our organic growth through bolt-on acquisitions within existing plastics technologies that can expand our opportunities in current and adjacent markets; 3) committing to operational excellence through additional self-help initiatives in purchasing, pricing and SG&A optimization; and 4) developing a high-performance mindset and culture. We have just begun our journey and we believe we have the right strategy to drive long-term value for all of our stakeholders.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Summary

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020, which included $11.8 million of incremental sales from the Elkhart acquisition, were $137.5 million, an increase of $20.7 million, or 17.7%, compared with $116.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was the result of higher sales in both the Material Handling and Distribution Segments. Gross profit increased $0.6 million to $39.8 million, compared with $39.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Gross profit margin decreased to 29.0% compared with 33.6% last year. The gross margin decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable price to cost relationship, higher repairs and maintenance costs, higher employee benefit costs and an unfavorable product mix. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $35.0 million, compared with $30.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily due to the acquisition of Elkhart Plastics and higher employee compensation and benefit costs, which was partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense. GAAP income per diluted share from continuing operations was $0.08, compared with $0.16 for the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted income per diluted share from continuing operations was $0.11, compared with $0.12 for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Net sales in the Material Handling Segment (consumer, food and beverage, industrial and vehicle end markets) for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $92.2 million, an increase of $18.8 million or 25.5%, compared with $73.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The sales increase was due to higher sales volumes across all end markets, which included $11.8 million of incremental sales from the Elkhart Plastics acquisition. For the fourth quarter of 2020, operating income for this segment decreased 5.0% to $8.5 million, compared with $9.0 million in 2019. Adjusted operating income increased 1.2% to $9.1 million, compared with $9.0 million in 2019. The increase was due primarily to higher sales volume, mostly offset by an unfavorable price to cost relationship, higher repairs and maintenance costs, higher employee benefit costs and an unfavorable product mix. As a result, the Material Handling Segment’s adjusted operating income margin was 9.8%, compared with 12.2% for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Net sales in the Distribution Segment (auto aftermarket end market) for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $45.3 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 4.4%, compared with $43.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Fourth quarter operating income for this segment increased 13.5% to $3.6 million, compared with $3.2 million in 2019. Adjusted operating income increased 12.9% to $3.6 million, compared with $3.2 million in 2019, primarily due to higher sales volume and reduced costs. The Distribution Segment’s adjusted operating income margin was 7.9%, compared with 7.3% for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Full Year 2020 Financial Summary

Net sales for the full year of 2020, which included $11.8 million of incremental sales from the Elkhart acquisition, were $510.4 million, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 1.0%, compared with $515.7 million for the full year of 2019. The decrease was the result of lower sales in the Material Handling Segment, partially offset by higher sales in the Distribution Segment. Gross profit margin increased to 33.7%, compared with 33.2% last year. The increase was primarily due to a favorable price to cost relationship. Additionally, full year 2019 gross profit included a $3.5 million charge for estimated product replacement costs. SG&A expenses decreased to $130.3 million, compared with $133.1 million for the full year of 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by savings from the transformation plan executed in the Distribution segment, lower depreciation and amortization expense, and lower travel expenses, partially offset by incremental SG&A from the acquisitions of Tuffy Manufacturing in August 2019 and Elkhart Plastics in November 2020. GAAP income per diluted share from continuing operations was $1.02, compared with $0.68 for the full year of 2019. Adjusted income per diluted share from continuing operations was $0.85, compared with $0.78 for the full year of 2019.

Net sales in the Material Handling Segment (consumer, food and beverage, industrial and vehicle end markets) for the full year of 2020 were $343.9 million, a decrease of $12.5 million or 3.5%, compared with $356.4 million for the full year of 2019. The sales decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes from the impacts of COVID-19 in the vehicle, food and beverage, and industrial end markets, which was partially offset by higher sales volume in the consumer end market driven by heightened storm activity. This decrease was also partially offset by $11.8 million of incremental sales due to the Elkhart Plastics acquisition on November 10, 2020. For the full year of 2020, operating income for this segment increased 3.6% to $55.1 million, compared with $53.1 million in 2019. Adjusted operating income increased 4.2% to $56.5 million, compared with $54.2 million in 2019. The increase was primarily due to a favorable price to cost relationship and lower depreciation and amortization. Additionally, full year 2019 operating income included a $3.5 million charge for estimated product replacement costs. As a result, the Material Handling Segment’s adjusted operating income margin increased to 16.4%, compared with 15.2% for the full year of 2019.

Net sales in the Distribution Segment (auto aftermarket end market) for the full year of 2020 were $166.5 million, an increase of $7.2 million, or 4.5%, compared with $159.3 million for the full year of 2019. Incremental sales of $12.9 million from the Tuffy acquisition completed in August 2019 more than offset lower sales volumes that primarily occurred in the first half of the year due to impacts from COVID-19. Full year operating income for this segment increased 20.7% to $12.2 million, compared with $10.1 million in 2019. Adjusted operating income increased 8.6% to $12.2 million, compared with $11.2 million in 2019, primarily due to higher sales volume and savings from the segment’s transformation plan, partially offset by an unfavorable product mix. The Distribution Segment’s adjusted operating income margin was 7.3%, compared with 7.0% for the full year of 2019.

2021 Outlook

Based on current exchange rates, market outlook and business forecast, Myers Industries offered the following business outlook for fiscal 2021:

  • Net sales growth in the mid to high 20% range, including impact of the Elkhart acquisition
  • Diluted EPS in the range of $0.88 to $1.03; adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $0.90 to $1.05
  • Capital expenditures to approximately be $15 million
  • Effective tax rate to approximately be 26%

Mr. McGaugh concluded, “We have seen significant increases in raw material costs as a result of the tightening supply on the Gulf coast. At the same time, demand has increased for these critical raw materials within our industry and others. As a result, we announced an 8% price increase effective March 1, 2021, across a broad portfolio of our products.”
