Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:
•Net sales were $234.1 million, an increase of 1.2% compared to the prior year quarter.

Optifolin+® is biologically active, which means that it is readily available for transport and use in the human body and tissues, making Optifolin+® an excellent choice to meet Vitamin B9 recommended requirements.

Balchem Corporation (NASDAQ:BCPC)

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2024:

The Human Nutrition & Health segment generated sales of $147.9 million, an increase of $12.3 million, or 9.0%, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales within the minerals and nutrients business. Record earnings from operations for this segment of $33.4 million increased $5.9 million, or 21.3%, compared to $27.5 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the aforementioned higher sales, a favorable mix, and certain lower manufacturing input costs, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Excluding the effect of non-cash expense associated with amortization of acquired intangible assets and other adjustments, adjusted earnings from operations(a) for this segment were $37.4 million, compared to $31.8 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 17.6%.
The Animal Nutrition & Health segment generated quarterly sales of $49.6 million, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 19.2%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was driven by lower sales in both the monogastric and ruminant species markets. Second quarter earnings from operations for this segment of $2.7 million decreased $5.0 million, or 64.9%, compared to $7.7 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the aforementioned lower sales, partially offset by certain lower manufacturing input costs. Excluding the effect of non-cash expense associated with amortization of acquired intangible assets and other adjustments, adjusted earnings from operations for this segment were $3.0 million compared to $7.6 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of 61.1%.

The Specialty Products segment generated quarterly sales of $35.1 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 7.2%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher sales in the performance gases business. Earnings from operations for this segment were a record $11.2 million, compared to $9.3 million in the prior year comparable quarter, an increase of $1.9 million, or 20.8%, primarily driven by the aforementioned higher sales and certain lower manufacturing input costs, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Excluding the effect of non-cash expense associated with amortization of acquired intangible assets and other adjustments, adjusted earnings from operations for this segment were $12.3 million, compared to $10.5 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 17.1%.
Record quarterly consolidated gross margin of $83.0 million increased by $5.6 million, or 7.3%, compared to $77.3 million for the prior year comparable period. Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 35.5% as compared to 33.4% in the prior year period, an increase of 210 basis points, primarily due to a favorable mix and decreases in certain manufacturing input costs. Operating expenses of $37.2 million for the quarter increased $2.7 million from the prior year comparable quarter, primarily due to the impact of favorable adjustments to transaction costs in the prior year and higher charges related to outside services, partially offset by the impact of restructuring-related impairment charges in the prior year. Excluding non-cash operating expenses associated with amortization of intangible assets of $4.6 million, operating expenses were $32.6 million, or 13.9% of sales.
Interest expense was $4.2 million and $5.2 million in the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower outstanding borrowings, partially offset by higher interest rates. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 22.2% and 21.6%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate was primarily due to lower tax benefits from stock-based compensation and certain higher state taxes, partially offset by certain lower foreign taxes.
Second quarter cash flows provided by operating activities were $45.0 million and free cash flow was $38.4 million. The $206.8 million of net working capital on June 30, 2024 included a cash balance of $63.7 million. Significant cash payments during the quarter included repayments on the revolving loan of $35.0 million, income taxes paid of $18.2 million, and capital expenditures and intangible assets acquired of $6.9 million.

Ted Harris said, “The Balchem team delivered solid second quarter financial results, once again highlighting the resilience of our business model. Two of our three reporting segments are performing very well, with both our Human Nutrition and Health segment and Specialty Products segment delivering record earnings from operations, which are more than offsetting the challenges we are experiencing in our Animal Nutrition and Health segment. We are well positioned in the markets we serve and remain confident in the long-term growth outlook for our company as we continue to focus on progressing our strategic growth initiatives in 2024 and beyond.”

(1) Inventory valuation adjustment: Business combination accounting principles require us to measure acquired inventory at fair value. The fair value of inventory reflects the acquired company's cost of manufacturing plus a portion of the expected profit margin. The non-GAAP adjustment to our cost of sales excludes the expected profit margin component that is recorded under business combination accounting principles. We believe the adjustment is useful to investors as an additional means to reflect cost of sales and gross margin trends of our business.
(2) Amortization of intangible assets and finance lease: Amortization of intangible assets and finance lease consists of amortization of customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, developed technology, regulatory registration costs, patents and trade secrets, capitalized loan issuance costs, other intangibles acquired primarily in connection with business combinations, an intangible asset in connection with a company-wide ERP system implementation, and one finance lease. We record expense relating to the amortization of these intangibles and finance lease in our GAAP financial statements. Amortization expenses for our intangible assets and finance lease are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of an acquisition. Consequently, our non-GAAP adjustments exclude these expenses to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
(3) Restructuring costs: Expenses related to a reorganization of the business.
(4) Transaction and integration costs: Transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions and divestitures are expensed in our GAAP financial statements. Management excludes these items for the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that excluding these items from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because these are items associated with transactions that are inconsistent in amount and frequency causing comparison of current and historical financial results to be difficult.
(5) Nonqualified deferred compensation plan (income) expense: Gains and losses on rabbi trust assets related to our nonqualified deferred compensation plan are recorded in other (income) expense while the offsetting increases or decreases to the deferred compensation liability are recorded within earnings from operations. The increases and decreases in the deferred compensation liability are driven by market volatility and are not a true reflection of company performance. We believe excluding these amounts from our non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because these items are inconsistent in amount based on market conditions causing comparison of current and historical financial results to be difficult. Adjustments have been made to the prior period presentation to conform with the current period presentation.
(6) Income tax adjustment: For purposes of calculating adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share, we adjust the provision for (benefit from) income taxes to tax effect the taxable and deductible non-GAAP adjustments described above as they have a significant impact on our income tax (benefit) provision. Additionally, the income tax adjustment is adjusted for the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” and uses our non-GAAP effective rate applied to both our GAAP earnings before income tax expense and non-GAAP adjustments described above. See Table 3 for the calculation of our non-GAAP effective tax rate.
(7) Impact of ASU 2016-09: The primary impact of ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), was the recognition during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, of excess tax benefits as a reduction to the provision for income taxes and the classification of these excess tax benefits in operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows instead of financing activities.
