AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. ("AgroFresh" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AGFS), a global leader in produce freshness solutions, announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016. AgroFresh is in the business of preserving and enhancing the quality and freshness of food, reducing food waste and improving productivity.
Jordi Ferre, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our SmartFresh™ Quality System is a strong franchise and remains the market’s overwhelmingly preferred solution to provide ‘peace of mind’ to apple and other fruit growers who need a partner they can trust with their storage decisions. We’ve earned this reputation over the past 15 years by always delivering to our 3,000 customers around the world.
In 2016, we were able to respond to competition and stabilize our North American business while holding market share. We achieved sales growth in new geographies, one of our strategic initiatives. We also maintained 81 percent operational gross margins, and continued to generate very strong cash flow, adding $20 million to our cash position over the past twelve months.”
______________________________________
(1) Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the information under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a description of Adjusted EBITDA, and the tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP results.
Financial Highlights for the Year
Net sales for the full year 2016 were $160 million, down 2.5 percent from $164 million in the prior year. Full year 2016 revenues reflect a 54 percent growth in Harvista™ sales offset primarily by a slight decrease in SmartFresh sales due mainly to increased competition in North America.
Cost of sales for the full year 2016 was $60.3 million, compared to $102.4 million for the full year 2015. Included in these costs were $30.4 million in 2016 and $73.1 million in 2015 of amortization of inventory step up. If the amortization of inventory step-up is excluded, gross profit margin was 81 percent in 2016, down slightly from 82 percent in 2015.
Research and development expenses for the full year 2016 were $14.8 million, down from $16.9 million in 2015 driven by the discontinuation of certain projects following the Company’s separation from The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) on July 31, 2015.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the full year 2016 were $61.8 million versus $48.1 million for the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to a full year of public company expenses in 2016 versus only 5 months of public company expenses in 2015. There were also additional severance and litigation costs in 2016.
Net loss for the full year 2016 was $111.8 million compared with a net loss of $28.5 million for the full year 2015. The increase in net loss is attributable to impairments and other non cash charges, higher interest expense and SG&A associated with having debt and being a public company for the full year in 2016, partially offset by lower inventory step-up amortization and higher gains on contingent consideration.
EBITDA was $31.1 million for the full year 2016, down significantly versus $96.2 million of EBITDA in 2015 driven by impairments and other non-cash charges along with higher SG&A, partially offset by higher gains on contingent consideration.
Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $52 million, compared to $51 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Cost of sales for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $11.8 million versus $46.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Cost of sales in the prior year period included $34.4 million of amortization of inventory step up. If the amortization of inventory step-up is excluded, gross profit margin was 77 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016 versus 77 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $3.5 million versus $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $12.4 million, down significantly from $18.6 million in the same period in the prior year primarily due to a substantial reduction in administrative costs as part of the Company’s efficiency and productivity initiatives.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $68.9 million compared to net loss of $0.4 million in the same quarter of 2015. The higher net loss is attributable to impairments and other non-cash charges, partially offset by lower inventory step-up amortization, higher gains on contingent consideration, and lower SG&A costs.
EBITDA was $(4.3) million for the fourth quarter of 2016 versus $44.6 million in the same quarter of 2015. The period-over-period change in EBITDA is mainly attributable to impairments and other non-cash charges, partially offset by higher gains on contingent consideration and lower SG&A costs.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 reflects long-term debt of $393 million and short-term debt of $15.3 million associated with the financing of the transaction with Dow that resulted in AgroFresh becoming a stand-alone company on July 31, 2015 (the “Business Combination”) At December 31, 2016, the Company’s cash position was $77.3 million.
The Company generated $30.4 million of cash from operating activities in 2016, an increase of more than 100 percent from $13.2 million in 2015.

Basis for Presentation
As a result of the Business Combination, the Company was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the AgroFresh Business, which is the business conducted by Dow prior to the closing of the Business Combination, through a combination of wholly-owned subsidiaries and operations of Dow, including through AgroFresh Inc. in the United States, is the acquiree and accounting Predecessor for periods prior to July 31, 2015 (the "Closing Date"). Where we discuss results for the period ended December 31, 2015, we are referring to the combined results of the Predecessor for the seven month period from January 1, 2015 through the Closing Date and Successor for the period from August 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. On the Closing Date, the Company, which was formerly named Boulevard Acquisition Corp., was re-named AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. and is the "Successor" for periods after the Closing Date, which includes consolidation of the AgroFresh Business subsequent to the Closing Date. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of net assets acquired. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the effective time of the Business Combination, the financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on different bases. The historical financial information of Boulevard Acquisition Corp. prior to the Business Combination has not been reflected in the Predecessor period financial statements as those amounts are not considered to be material.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures, in particular EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they are used by the Company's management to evaluate the Company's performance. Management believes that these measures enhance a reader's understanding of the financial performance of the Company, are more indicative of operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a better comparison between fiscal periods, as the non-GAAP measures exclude items that are not considered core to the Company's operations.
In particular, EBITDA is a key measure used by the Company to evaluate its earnings performance. Previously, the Company used Adjusted EBITDA as its key earnings measure, consistent with the definition of Consolidated EBITDA in the Company's Credit Agreement. While the Company has provided Adjusted EBITDA numbers in this release covering the period through year-end 2016, beginning with financial periods in 2017 it plans to discontinue reporting Adjusted EBITDA results. The Company believes this change will improve the transparency of the business and increase the comparability of the Company's results.
The Company does not intend for any of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release to be a substitute for any GAAP financial information. Readers of this press release should use these non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided in the table at the end of this press release.
