Intertape Polymer Reports Third Quarter Net Earnings of $4.2 Million

• Sales improve for third consecutive quarter

• ECP Division sales and gross profits increase quarter-over-quarter

• Company on solid financial footing


Montréal, Québec and Bradenton, Florida – November 10, 2008 – Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (TSX: ITP; NYSE: ITP) (“Intertape” or the “Company”) today released improved results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. All dollar amounts are US denominated unless otherwise indicated.


Intertape Executive Director, Melbourne F. Yull stated: “The third quarter has seen significant improvement over the second quarter in terms of sales, gross profits and gross margins. This is a noteworthy achievement, given the economic headwinds as well as rapid increases in input costs through much of the quarter. The Company continued to recover cost increases for resin-based raw materials though higher selling prices. The Engineered Coated Products (“ECP”) Division substantially increased third quarter sales and gross profits over those for the second quarter.  A number of new products introduced during the last twelve months further penetrated existing markets and are creating opportunities in new areas.”


Earnings

Net earnings for the third quarter were $4.2 million or $0.07 per share compared to $1.0 million or $0.02 per share for the corresponding quarter a year ago.  Third quarter earnings include a $1.2 million tax asset valuation allowance reversal.


Nine month net earnings totaled $7.0 million or $0.12 per share versus a net loss of $7.7 million or $0.19 per share for the same period in 2007.  Year-to-date earnings reflect the first quarter’s non cash write-off of debt issue expenses of $3.1 million and the cash settlement of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement for $2.9 million in connection with its refinancing of its Senior Secured Credit Facility. This amounted to a reduction in earnings of $0.06 per share after tax during the first quarter. All share amounts are both basic and diluted.


Sales

Sales for the third quarter were $202.0 million compared to the $201.9 million posted for the third quarter a year ago and $197.5 million recorded during the second quarter this year. Unit volumes decreased 7.6% and 2.2% from the third quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2008 respectively. The year-over-year unit volume difference is comprised of a 4.9% decrease in the Tapes and Films Division and a 17.3% decrease in the ECP Division.  The ECP decline is primarily attributable to lower unit volumes of lumber wrap film sold into the housing industry.


Sales for the nine months increased to $584.0 million from $575.8 million. Year-to-date unit volumes decreased 5.6%. The Company continued to improve its product mix by adding products of higher value.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit for the third quarter totaled $29.2 million at a gross margin of 14.5%, compared to gross profit of $31.2 million at a gross margin of 15.4% a year ago.  The year-over-year margin decline is due to rising raw material costs and lower sales unit volumes.


Sequentially, third quarter gross profit rose 10.8% and gross margin increased 1.2% compared to 2008 second quarter gross profit of $26.4 million at a gross margin of 13.3%.  The improvement stems from higher gross margins due to the selling price increases achieved and improved product mix.


Gross profit and gross margin for the first nine months were $83.7 million and 14.3% respectively, compared to $87.9 million and 15.3% for the first nine months of 2007.  


SG&A expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $17.5 million (8.7% of sales) for the third quarter, which are the same levels as they were for the third quarter last year.  Nine month SG&A expenses were $52.3 million (9% of sales) compared to $52.5 million (9.1% of sales) for the same period in 2007.  


EBITDA

EBITDA in the third quarter totaled $18.8 million compared to $19.7 million for the same quarter a year ago and for the nine months was $52.4 million versus $48.6 million last year.


Segmented Information

Tapes & Films Division

Sales for the Tapes and Films (“T&F”) Division for the third quarter were $161.4 million, up 3.1% from $156.6 million for the third quarter of 2007.  Year-over-year unit volumes decreased 4.9% during the third quarter.  Sales for the third quarter increased 1.2% over the second quarter of 2008, despite a unit volume decrease of 3.1%.  This was due to the T&F Division’s success in achieving meaningful selling price increases.


Nine month sales rose 3.3% to $469.6 million compared to $454.7 million for the first nine months of 2007.  The current economic weakness in the U.S. resulted in a unit volume decrease of 3.8% compared to the first nine months of 2007.  


Gross profits for the third quarter were $23.6 million at a gross margin of 14.6% compared to $25.1 million at a gross margin of 16.0% for the third quarter of 2007.  These declines were due in part to rising costs in a number of areas, including resin-based raw materials, transportation and energy.  While many of these increases were recovered through higher selling prices, it was not always possible to recover the additional margin on these higher costs on a timely basis.  Finished goods inventories also increased during the third quarter, compared to this year’s second quarter levels.


Gross profits and gross margins for the nine months compared to the same period a year ago were $70.2 million at 15.0% and $74.6 million 16.4%, respectively.  The decreases are primarily due to the decline in unit volume.

EBITDA for the third quarter was $15.8 million compared to $17.9 million for the third quarter of 2007.  Nine month EBITDA was $47.1 million in 2008 and $52.4 million in 2007 respectively.  The 2008 declines are attributable to the lower gross profits.

Engineered Coated Products Division

Third quarter sales for the Engineered Coated Products (“ECP”) Division were $40.6 million, compared to $45.3 million for the third quarter of 2007.  Unit volumes were down 17.3% for the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2007, however, the unit decline was mitigated by selling price increases and product mix changes.  Compared to the second quarter of 2008, third quarter sales rose 6.8% from $38 million and unit volumes were up 1.4%.


Nine month sales decreased 5.5% to $114.4 million compared to $121.1 million for the first nine months of 2007.  Sales volumes for the same period declined 12.9% compared to the first nine months a year ago due to the decline in sales of products to the housing market.


Gross profits for the third quarter totalled $5.6 million at a gross margin of 13.8% compared to $6.1 million at a gross margin of 13.5% for the third quarter of 2007.  Quarter-over-quarter, the gross profit and gross margin improved substantially from the 2008 second quarter gross profit and gross margin of $3.5 million at 9.2%. This resulted partially from the increase in unit volumes but most significantly from improved product mix as the ECP Division has introduced several new high value products in recent quarters.


Gross profits and gross margins for the nine months were $13.5 million at 11.8% and $13.3 million at 11.0%, respectively in 2008 and 2007.  The 2008 improvement resulted from increased selling prices and improved product mix.  Results for all periods reported reflect the continued softness in the construction market.  


EBITDA for the third quarter was $3.8 million compared to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2007 and $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2008. The sequential EBITDA improvement was due to higher gross profits.


EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $7.5 million, the same as the EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  Increased selling prices and improved product mix sustained EBITDA this year despite a 12.9% decrease in unit volumes.

During the quarter Intertape acquired the exclusive North American rights to a patent pending automatic wrapping system. The technology targets industries such as wood products, which are traditionally manually wrapped. Along with the distribution rights, the Company acquired wrapping machines and existing customer contracts for both film and monthly charges for a total consideration of $5.5 million.  This complements the Division’s product offerings and customer base.

Cash flow from operations

Reflecting improved profitability, third quarter cash flows from operations before changes in non-cash working capital items was $14.8 million, compared to $14.4 million for the third quarter last year. Changes in non-cash working capital items used $5.6 million in cash flows for the most recent three months compared to using $6.8 million during the same period in 2007. This year’s reduced use of cash flows stems from increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by increased inventories. As a result, cash flows from operating activities provided cash of $9.2 million in the third quarter, compared to $7.6 million a year earlier.


For the first nine months, cash flows from operations before changes in non-cash working capital items was $36.5 million compared to $30.0 million a year prior.  Changes in non-cash working capital items used $27.9 million in cash flows compared to using $8.3 million in cash in 2007. As a result, cash flows from operating activities in the first nine months stood at $8.6 million, versus $21.7 million for the same period in 2007.


Income taxes

Due to the improved financial performance of the ECP Division in Truro, Nova Scotia, the Company expects to benefit from the retention of a portion of the value of the expiring tax losses.  An initial $2.0 million reduction in the Company’s income tax asset valuation allowance was included in earnings for the second quarter of 2008 and an additional $1.2 million reduction is included in earnings for the third quarter of 2008.


Outlook

“Global conditions remain uncertain. The cost of resin-based raw materials is expected to decrease materially through the balance of the year. Historically, this has dampened short-term demand for products as distributors reduce their inventories in a declining price environment.  Additionally, the fourth quarter is traditionally a slower sales quarter for the Company. As such, fourth quarter sales are expected to decline from third quarter levels,” commented Mr. Yull.

Intertape is well positioned to weather the global financial crisis. In the past year, Intertape has successfully refinanced its existing Senior Secured Credit Facility and significantly reduced debt. We are focused on maintaining our solid cash and liquidity position, strengthening our product offerings and achieving lowest cost operations to be well positioned for profitable growth when the economy recovers” concluded Mr. Yull.



Non-GAAP information

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes the inclusion of such non-GAAP financial measures improve the transparency of the Company's disclosure, provide a meaningful presentation of the Company's results from its core business operations by excluding the impact of items not related to the Company's ongoing core business operations, improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company's results from its core business operations, and are used by management and the Company's investors in evaluating the financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.


A reconciliation of the Company’s EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP financial measures, to GAAP net earnings (loss) is set out in the EBITDA reconciliation table below.  EBITDA should not be construed as earnings (loss) before income taxes, net earnings (loss) or cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP.  The Company defines EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before (i) income taxes (recovery); (ii) financial expenses, net of amortization; (iii) refinancing expense, net of amortization; (iv) amortization of other intangibles and capitalized software costs; and (v) depreciation.  The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before manufacturing facility closures, restructuring, strategic alternatives and other charges.  Other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does.


EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities or as alternatives to net earnings (loss) as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures because they permit investors to make a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s performance between the periods presented. In addition, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used by management in evaluating the Company’s performance.
