- Segment EBITDA margin of 16.1%, a 360bp increase year-over-year

WATERFORD, N.Y.--Aug. 14, 2018-- MPM Holdings Inc. (“Momentive” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: MPMQ) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
“Our second quarter results demonstrate progress against our clearly defined competitive strategy to drive segment EBITDA growth and margin improvement, as well as market uplift from our Formulated and Basic Silicones segment,” said Jack Boss, Chief Executive Officer and President. “We continue to see tremendous growth in our basics products driven by continued optimization and favorable market dynamics, as well as growth in our specialty applications, driven by end-market pull and prior capital investment.”
“In addition, we recently completed the commissioning process for our NXT* capacity expansion, and production is expected to ramp up in the second half of 2018. This will reinforce our leadership position in automotive tire applications and enable new product offerings.”
Mr. Boss concluded, “As we look out into the remainder of 2018, we expect strong demand, solid industry fundamentals, pricing tailwinds from realization of previously implemented increases, and continued margin improvement from increased specialty sales, cost optimization and favorable trends in basics products.”
Second Quarter 2018 Results
Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $704 million, an increase of 19% compared with $594 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by improved market dynamics in our basics end markets and volume gains across nearly all of Momentive’s segments, which reflected the benefits of our strategic growth investments and increased demand in the automotive, agriculture, personal care, electronic, and industrial end markets.
Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $39 million compared with net income of $19 million in the prior year period.
Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $113 million, an increase of 53% compared with $74 million in the prior year period. The increase in Segment EBITDA was driven by significantly improved market dynamics in our basics end markets and the benefits of prior strategic investments in our specialty capabilities, partially offset by one-time production issues relating to silanes and headwinds in the urethane additives end market.
Segment Results
The following tables reflect net sales and Segment EBITDA by reportable segment for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Global Restructuring Program and Siloxane Production Transformation
In March 2018, the Company announced a restructuring initiative totaling $15 million in estimated annual run rate cost reductions with approximately $8 million to be realized in 2018. The initiative targeted primarily selling, general, and administrative cost reductions.
Liquidity and Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2018, Momentive had net debt, which is total debt less cash and cash equivalents, of approximately $1.1 billion. In addition, at June 30, 2018, Momentive had $448 million in liquidity, including $201 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and $247 million of availability under its senior secured asset-based revolving loan facility (the “ABL Facility”) (undrawn, with $53 million letters of credit outstanding). Momentive expects to have adequate liquidity to fund its operations for the foreseeable future from cash on its balance sheet, cash flows provided by operating activities, and amounts available for borrowings under the ABL Facility.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
Segment EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted for certain non-cash and certain other income and expenses. Segment EBITDA is an important measure used by the Company's senior management and board of directors to evaluate operating results and allocate capital resources among segments. Segment EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) or other results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See Schedule 4 to this release for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Segment EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash and certain non-recurring items and other adjustments calculated on a pro-forma basis, including the expected future cost savings from business optimization or other programs and the expected future impact of acquisitions, in each case as determined under the governing debt instrument. The Company believes that including the supplemental adjustments that are made to calculate Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors about the Company’s ability to comply with its financial covenants and to obtain additional debt in the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined term under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition, liquidity or profitability, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not take into account certain items such as interest and principal payments on the Company’s indebtedness, depreciation and amortization expense (because the Company uses capital assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of the Company’s costs and ability to generate revenue), working capital needs, tax payments (because the payment of taxes is part of the Company’s operations, it is a necessary element of the Company’s costs and ability to operate), non-recurring expenses and capital expenditures. Fixed Charges under the indentures should not be considered as an alternative to interest expense. See Schedule 5 to this release for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and the calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges ratio.
Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements related to our transformation and restructuring activities, growth and productivity initiatives, anticipated cost savings, growth, and market recovery, the impact of work stoppage and other incidents on our operations and competitiveness. In addition, our management may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “seek” or “intend” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future events and conditions and are based on currently available financial, economic and competitive data and our current business plans.

While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements as it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: a weakening of global economic and financial conditions, interruptions in the supply of or increased cost of raw materials, the impact of work stoppage and other incidents on our operations, changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof and related compliance and litigation costs, adverse rulings in litigation, difficulties with the realization of our cost savings in connection with transformation and strategic initiatives, including transactions with our affiliate, Hexion Inc., pricing actions by our competitors that could affect our operating margins, the impact of our growth and productivity investments, our ability to realize the benefits there from, and the timing thereof, our ability to obtain additional financing, and the other factors listed in the Risk Factors section of our SEC filings. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. The forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time.
