EDMUNDSTON, New Brunswick, Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acadian Timber Corp. (“Acadian” or the “Company”) (TSX:ADN) today reported financial and operating results¹ for the three months ended September 25, 2021 (the “third quarter”).

“Steady prices and strong demand for our sawlogs have enabled us to generate solid operating and financial performance for the third quarter. Acadian expects continued steady demand for its key products for the remainder of the year,” commented Adam Sheparski, President and CEO. “We are also very proud to report no recordable safety incidents among employees or contractors for three straight quarters. Health and safety remain a key focus for Acadian.”

During the quarter, both the New Brunswick and Maine operations completed a surveillance audit under the 2015-2019 standard of the Sustainable Forest Initiative® with no non-conformances.

Acadian generated $3.6 million of Free Cash Flow and declared dividends of $4.8 million to its shareholders during the third quarter. Acadian’s balance sheet remains solid with $23.0 million of net liquidity as at September 25, 2021, which includes funds available under our credit facilities.

________________________
¹ This news release makes reference to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow and Payout Ratio which are key performance measures in evaluating Acadian’s operations and are important in enhancing investors’ understanding of Acadian’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used to evaluate operational performance. Free Cash Flow is used to evaluate Acadian’s ability to generate sustainable cash flows from its operations while the Payout Ratio is used to evaluate Acadian’s ability to fund its distribution using Free Cash Flow. Acadian’s management defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, fair value adjustments, recovery of or impairment of land and roads, realized gain/loss on sale of other fixed assets, unrealized exchange gain/loss on debt, depreciation and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of its total revenue. Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less interest paid, current income tax expense, and capital expenditures plus net proceeds from the sale of fixed assets (selling price less gains or losses included in Adjusted EBITDA). Payout Ratio is defined as dividends declared divided by Free Cash Flow. As these performance measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. As a result, we have provided in this news release reconciliations of net income, as determined in accordance with IFRS, to Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.

During the third quarter, Acadian generated sales of $22.7 million, compared to $23.2 million in the prior year period. The weighted average selling price, excluding biomass, increased 8% year-over-year benefiting from increased sawlog pricing driven by favourable market dynamics. Sales volume, excluding biomass, decreased 9% due to lower softwood pulpwood sales. Biomass sales volume decreased 22% due to lower domestic sales.

Operating costs and expenses were $17.9 million during the third quarter, compared to $18.8 million during the prior year period. This year-over-year decrease reflects lower harvesting and timber services activity. Weighted average variable costs, excluding biomass, increased 1% reflecting higher fuel costs, partially offset by a stronger Canadian dollar.

Adjusted EBITDA was $5.1 million during the third quarter, compared to $4.5 million in the prior year period and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 23% compared to 19% in the prior year period. Free Cash Flow was $3.6 million compared to $3.1 million in the same period of 2020.

Net income for the third quarter totaled $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to $5.2 million, or $0.31 per share in the same period of 2020. The decrease in net income from the prior year period is mainly due to a non-cash unrealized foreign exchange loss on long-term debt of $3.1 million compared to a gain of $2.2 million in the prior year period.

During the first nine months of 2021, Acadian generated sales of $67.0 million compared to $66.1 million in the prior year period. A decrease in sales volume of 3% compared to the prior year period was more than offset by an increase of 2% in the weighted average selling price, excluding biomass. Operating costs and expenses of $51.7 million were $0.4 million lower than the prior year period. Lower softwood pulpwood volumes were offset by strong sawlog prices, increased timber services, and a $0.4 million gain on timberlands sales resulting in Adjusted EBITDA of $15.8 million compared to $14.2 million during the first nine months of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 24% from 21%.

For the nine months ended September 25, 2021, net income was $11.8 million, or $0.71 per share, which represents an increase of $5.0 million compared to the prior period, primarily as a result of a non-cash unrealized foreign exchange gain on long-term debt of $0.4 million this year compared to a loss of $2.9 million in 2020 combined with lower administrative costs and interest expense.

Sales for New Brunswick Timberlands were $17.5 million compared to $18.0 million during the prior year period. Sales volume, excluding biomass, decreased by 10% primarily due to lower softwood pulpwood sales. Softwood pulpwood demand remained weak due to high inventories and competition from sawmill residuals. The overall volume decrease was partially offset by a 15% increase in sales volume of hardwood sawlogs, driven by very strong demand. Biomass sales volume decreased 22% during the quarter due to lower domestic sales. The weighted average selling price, excluding biomass, for the third quarter was $68.40 per m³, or 9% higher than the prior year period, as a result of strong sawlog prices and a lower proportion of softwood pulpwood in the mix.

Operating costs and expenses were $13.4 million during the third quarter, compared to $13.8 million in the prior year period due to reduced harvesting and timber services activity combined with lower land management costs. Weighted average variable costs, excluding biomass, increased 8% reflecting higher fuel costs compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million during the third quarter was consistent with the prior year period and Adjusted EBITDA margin was flat year-over-year at 24%.

During the first nine months of 2021, New Brunswick Timberlands’ sales of $50.7 million was 3% higher than the prior year period. Sales volume, excluding biomass, decreased 5% due to a weak demand for softwood pulpwood relative to the first nine months of 2020. The weighted average selling price, excluding biomass, increased 5% due to strong sawlog prices and a favourable product mix. Operating costs and expenses of $37.7 million during the first nine months of 2021 were $0.3 million higher than the prior year period due to additional timber services activity. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.1 million compared to $11.9 million during the first nine months of 2020 and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 2%.

There were no recordable safety incidents amongst employees or contractors during the third quarter of 2021.

Sales for Maine Timberlands during the third quarter totaled $5.2 million, flat with the prior year period. Sales volume, excluding biomass, decreased by 6% due to lower hardwood pulpwood deliveries partially offset by stronger softwood sawlog sales.

The weighted average selling price, excluding biomass, in Canadian dollar terms was $80.87 per m³, compared to $77.27 per m³ during the same period of 2020. In U.S dollar terms, the weighted average selling price, excluding biomass, was $64.30 per m³, compared to $57.95 per m³ in 2020 with higher sawlog prices benefiting from favourable market dynamics. The 11 % price increase in U.S. dollar terms was partially offset by a stronger Canadian dollar.

Operating costs and expenses for the third quarter were $4.2 million, compared to $4.4 million during the same period in 2020, primarily due to lower harvest activity and a lower cost product mix. Weighted average variable costs, excluding biomass, decreased 11% as a result of a higher proportion of softwood with lower average costing compared to hardwood, combined with a stronger Canadian dollar.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $1.3 million compared to $0.8 million during the prior year period and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 26% compared to 15% in the prior year period. The third quarter results include $0.3 million of gains recorded on timberlands sales compared to no timberland sales during the same quarter in 2020.

During the first nine months of 2021, Maine Timberlands’ sales were $16.3 million compared to $16.9 million in the prior year period.

Market Outlook

The following contains forward-looking information about Acadian Timber Corp.’s market outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2021. Reference should be made to the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Statements” section of this news release. For a description of material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in the following, please see the Risk Factors section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Acadian’s most recent Annual Report and Annual Information Form available on our website at www.acadiantimber.com or filed with SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Acadian expects North American softwood lumber demand to remain steady as we progress through the remainder of 2021 supported by the sustained positive outlooks for US home construction and improvements. Housing fundamentals continue to be supported by low interest rates, income and job growth, ageing and underbuilt housing stock, and favorable home buyer demographics. Consensus forecast for U.S. housing starts is 1.57 million for 2021 and 1.53 million for 2022.

The dynamics of the softwood lumber market are expected to support steady demand for our softwood sawlogs as our sawmill customers are investing in their facilities and operating at steady levels. However, the strong regional production of lumber is expected to challenge the softwood pulpwood market, as residuals will continue to be abundant in the region.

Demand for hardwood sawlogs continues to be strong as both appearance grade and industrial grade lumber is in high demand and roundwood inventories at hardwood sawmills are low. Acadian expects strong demand and pricing for its hardwood sawlogs for the remainder of this year and into 2022. Regional hardwood pulpwood demand is expected to remain stable as the economy improves.

Demand for biomass from Acadian’s New Brunswick operation is expected to remain stable through the remainder of the year and into 2022, with steady demand from the regional market supplemented by the return of export markets.

Quarterly Dividend

Acadian is pleased to announce a dividend of $0.29 per share, payable on January 14, 2022 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2021.

Acadian Timber Corp. (“Acadian”, the “Company” or “we”) is one of the largest timberland owners in Eastern Canada and the Northeastern U.S. and has a total of approximately 2.4 million acres of land under management.

Acadian’s products include softwood and hardwood sawlogs, pulpwood and biomass by-products, sold to approximately 90 regional customers.
