KATY,
Texas, April 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Silica
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SLCA), a diversified industrial minerals
company and the leading last-mile logistics provider to the oil and
gas industry (the "Company"), today announced a net loss of
$8.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2022. The first
quarter results were negatively impacted by $9.4 million pre-tax, or $0.09 per diluted share after-tax, of charges
primarily related to a supplier contract termination and merger and
acquisition related expense, resulting in an adjusted loss of
$0.02 per diluted share.
These results compared with a net loss of $19.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter
of 2021, which were negatively impacted by $3.5 million pre-tax, or $0.03 per diluted share after-tax, of charges
primarily related to merger and acquisition related expense and
other adjustments, resulting in an adjusted loss of $0.22 per basic and diluted share.
Bryan Shinn, Chief Executive
Officer, commented, "We started 2022 with a very strong quarter,
delivering sequential improvements of 7% in total revenue and 26%
in adjusted EBITDA. Macros were very favorable, with continued
robust customer demand, and we delivered meaningful price increases
across both business units in the quarter. I am pleased to report
that the positive market conditions are continuing, and we expect
to deliver even stronger financial results in the second quarter,
and 2022 overall is shaping up to be a very strong year for profits
and cash generation.
"In our Oil & Gas segment, sand and logistics remained
effectively sold out due to strong well completion demand,
particularly in West Texas. Our
teams worked diligently with customers to minimize disruptions and
well site downtime given the overwhelming market demand. The supply
and demand balance in the sand and last mile logistics market
remains very tight, and we have experienced increased operating
costs to serve customers. As a result, sand and SandBox sales
prices and margins have risen substantially and we continue to sign
attractive new contracts.
"In our Industrial & Specialty Products segment, demand
remained strong across end uses and market segments. As we
mentioned on last quarter's call, strong winter storms negatively
impacted a few of our operations during the quarter resulting in
higher costs, delayed shipments and less favorable product sales
mix. These were transitory issues and we expect a very strong
rebound in the second quarter. In addition, we are proactively
offsetting West Coast shipping challenges by utilizing alternate
ports across the U.S. and anticipate an improved product mix
coupled with the phase-in of additional price increases in the
second quarter. Given these actions, we expect the second quarter
to be one of the strongest quarters on record for our Industrial
segment and we believe that first half 2022 Industrial &
Specialty Products profitability will be on or slightly ahead of
plan."

Outlook and Guidance
Looking forward to the second quarter and second half of 2022,
the Company's two business segments remain well positioned for
contribution margin expansion and growth in their respective
markets. The Company has a strong portfolio of industrial and
specialty products that serve numerous essential, high growth and
attractive end markets, supported by a robust pipeline of new
products under development as well as pricing increases and
surcharges.
The oil and gas industry is progressing through what is
anticipated to be a multi-year growth cycle. Strength in commodity
prices, both WTI crude oil and natural gas prices, along with
forecasted increases in customer spending, are promising for an
active well completions environment throughout 2022.
The Company remains focused on free cash flow and de-levering
the balance sheet and intends on being operating cash flow positive
in 2022, keeping an estimated $40-$60 million of
capital expenditures within operating cash flow.

Forward-looking Statements
This first quarter 2022 earnings release, as well as other
statements we make, contain "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the federal securities laws - that is, statements about
the future, not about past events. Forward-looking statements give
our current expectations and projections relating to our financial
condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future
performance and business. These statements may include words such
as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "intend,"
"believe," "may," "will," "should," "could," "can have," "likely"
and other words and terms of similar meaning. Forward-looking
statements made include any statement that does not directly relate

opportunities, strategy, future financial results, forecasts,
projections, plans and capital expenditures, technological
innovations, the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company's operations,
and the commercial silica industry. Forward-looking statements are
based on our current expectations and assumptions, which may not
prove to be accurate. These statements are not guarantees and
are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances
that are difficult to predict. Many factors could cause
actual results to differ materially and adversely from these
forward-looking statements. Among these factors are global economic
conditions; the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on markets the
Company serves; supply chain and logistics constraints for our
company and our customers, fluctuations in demand for commercial
silica, diatomaceous earth, perlite, clay and cellulose;
fluctuations in demand for frac sand or the development of either
effective alternative proppants or new processes to replace
hydraulic fracturing; the entry of competitors into our
marketplace; changes in production spending by companies in the oil
and gas industry and changes in the level of oil and natural gas
exploration and development; changes in oil and gas inventories;
general economic, political and business conditions in key regions
of the world; pricing pressure; cost inflation; weather and
seasonal factors; the cyclical nature of our customers' business;
our inability to meet our financial and performance targets and
other forecasts or expectations; our substantial indebtedness and
pension obligations, including restrictions on our operations
imposed by our indebtedness; operational modifications, delays or
cancellations; prices for electricity, natural gas and diesel fuel;
our ability to maintain our transportation network; changes in
government regulations and regulatory requirements, including those
related to mining, explosives, chemicals, and oil and gas
production; silica-related health issues and corresponding
litigation; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in this
press release and our most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filed
with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize
(or the consequences of such a development changes), or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary
materially from those reflected in our forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date hereof, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to
update publicly or revise such statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Segment Contribution Margin
Segment contribution margin is a key metric that management uses
to evaluate our operating performance and to determine resource
allocation between segments. Segment contribution margin excludes
selling, general, and administrative costs, corporate costs, plant
capacity expenses, and facility closure costs.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net (loss)
income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to
segment contribution margin.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance or
liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative
to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance, cash
flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or any
other performance measure derived 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
consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax
payments and debt service requirements. Adjusted EBITDA contains
certain other limitations, including the failure to reflect our
cash expenditures, cash requirements for working capital needs and
cash costs to replace assets being depreciated and amortized, and
excludes certain charges that may recur in the future. Management
compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP
results and by using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. Our
measure of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other
similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential
inconsistencies in the methods of calculation.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income
(loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to
Adjusted EBITDA:

(1)
|
Reflects equity-based
and other equity-related compensation expense.
|
|
(2)
|
Includes net pension
cost and net post-retirement cost relating to pension and other
post-retirement benefit obligations during the applicable period,
but in each case excluding the service cost relating to benefits
earned during such period. Non-service net periodic benefit costs
are not considered reflective of our operating performance because
these costs do not exclusively originate from employee services
during the applicable period and may experience periodic
fluctuations as a result of changes in non-operating factors,
including changes in discount rates, changes in expected returns on
benefit plan assets, and other demographic actuarial
assumptions.
|
|
(3)
|
Merger and acquisition
related expenses include legal fees, professional fees, bank fees,
severance costs, and other employee related costs. While these
costs are not operational in nature and are not expected to
continue for any singular transaction on an ongoing basis, similar
types of costs, expenses and charges have occurred in prior periods
and may recur in the future as we continue to integrate prior
acquisitions and pursue any future acquisitions.
|
|
(4)
|
Plant capacity
expansion expenses include expenses that are not inventoriable or
capitalizable as related to plant expansion projects greater than
$5 million in capital expenditures or plant start up
projects. While these expenses are not operational in nature
and are not expected to continue for any singular project on an
ongoing basis, similar types of expenses have occurred in prior
periods and may recur in the future if we continue to pursue future
plant capacity expansion.
|
|
(5)
|
Reflects contract
termination expenses related to strategically exiting a supplier
service contract. While these expenses are not operational in
nature and are not expected to continue for any singular event on
an ongoing basis, similar types of expenses have occurred in prior
periods and may recur in the future as we continue to strategically
evaluate our contracts.
|
|
(6)
|
The three months ended
March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 reflect
impairment charges of zero, $0.2 million, and $38 thousand,
respectively.
|
|
(7)
|
Reflects costs incurred
related to business optimization projects within our corporate
center, which aim to measure and improve the efficiency,
productivity and performance of our organization. While these costs
are not operational in nature and are not expected to continue for
any singular project on an ongoing basis, similar types of expenses
may recur in the future.
|
|
(8)
|
Reflects costs incurred
related to idled sand facilities and closed corporate offices,
including severance costs and remaining contracted costs such as
office lease costs, maintenance, and utilities. While these costs
are not operational in nature and are not expected to continue for
any singular event on an ongoing basis, similar types of expenses
may recur in the future.
|
|
(9)
|
Reflects miscellaneous
adjustments permitted under the Credit Agreement, such as
recruiting fees and relocation costs. The three months ended March
31, 2022 also included costs related to weather events and supplier
and logistical issues of $0.8 million, severance restructuring of
$0.1 million, an adjustment to non-controlling interest of $0.1
million, partially offset by proceeds of the sale of assets of $0.5
million. The three months ended December 31,2021 also included $0.3
million related to severe winter storms during the first quarter,
$0.2 million of asset losses, $0.2 million of transload shortfalls
and exit fees, $0.1 million for an adjustment to non-controlling
interest and $0.1 million of severance. The three months ended
March 31, 2021 also included $0.8 million related to expenses
incurred with severe winter storms during the first quarter,
partially offset by $0.1 million for a measurement period
adjustment related to the Arrows Up bargain purchase.
