FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


HARSCO CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2020 RESULTS


Second Quarter GAAP Loss of $10 Million or $0.14 Per Share Including Anticipated Acquisition, Integration and Financing Costs; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.13

Adjusted EBITDA Totaled $59 Million, Highlighting Positive Operational and Cost Performance While Facing COVID-19 Headwinds, as Well as Timing of Expenditures and Acquisition Contributions

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $33 Million in Q2; Free Cash Flow Totaled $18 Million Driven by Actions to Lower Capital Spending as Well as Working Capital Initiatives

Company Net Leverage Ratio of 3.9x and Liquidity Position Exceeded $390 Million at Quarter-End

Business Continuity Actions In Response to COVID-19 Driving Significant Cost Reductions; Company Remains Committed to Lower Capital Spending and Positive Free Cash Flow


CAMP HILL, PA (August 5, 2020) - Harsco Corporation (NYSE: HSC) today reported second quarter 2020 results. On a U.S. GAAP ("GAAP") basis, second quarter of 2020 diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.14, which included acquisition and integration costs as well as expenses incurred to amend the Company's credit facilities. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020 were $0.13. These figures compare with second quarter of 2019 GAAP diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.04 and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.23.

GAAP operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2020 was $2 million, while adjusted EBITDA excluding unusual items totaled $59 million in the quarter.

“Against a challenging operating environment in the second quarter, we took further action to control costs, optimize spending and enhance our overall financial flexibility,” said Chairman and CEO Nick Grasberger. “Working together, we are controlling what we can control and moving the company forward with a focus on safety, cost management, and the flawless execution of operational initiatives.”

“Despite persistent headwinds, we made significant progress in the quarter on a number of key strategic and operational initiatives. Our transformation into a pure-play environmental solutions company continued as we began the integration of ESOL with Clean Earth, and reached our first 100-days of ownership. ESOL represents a tremendous value-creating opportunity and the integration process has been running smoothly, with a focus on instilling greater process discipline within the organization and strengthening its operational and commercial effectiveness. In addition, Rail’s SCOR program remains on pace to achieve its objectives.

"While we are cautiously optimistic that business activity in our end markets troughed in the second quarter, we expect the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and market volatility to persist. We continue to believe that our ongoing transformation efforts position Harsco to be a stronger, more resilient company, poised to capitalize on growth opportunities. I am confident that our continued focus on costs, cash flow, debt reduction and serving our customers will continue to help us navigate these uncertain times and guide us as the global economy recovers.”

Note: Income statement details above and commentary below reflect that the prior Industrial segment was reclassified as Discontinued Operations in 2019. Also, 2020 details include ESOL from the date the business was acquired on April 6, 2020 and ESOL results are reported within the Clean Earth segment. Adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA details presented throughout this release are adjusted for unusual items; in addition, adjusted earnings per share details are also adjusted for acquisition-related amortization expense.

Consolidated Second Quarter Operating Results

Consolidated total revenues from continuing operations were $447 million, an increase of 27 percent compared with the prior-year quarter due to acquisitions (Clean Earth and ESOL) since mid-2019. The revenue contributions from the acquired businesses were partially offset by lower demand for products and services as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and FX impacts. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted second quarter 2020 revenues by approximately $13 million compared with the prior-year period.

GAAP operating income from continuing operations was $2 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared with $18 million in the same quarter of last year. Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA totaled $59 million in the second quarter of 2020 versus $63 million in the second quarter of 2019. This change is

attributable to lower profitability in the Harsco Environmental and Rail segments due to COVID-19, partially offset by acquisition contributions and lower adjusted Corporate spending.

Operating income - GAAP$14  $28  (51)%
Adjusted EBITDA - excluding unusual items$40  $58  (30)%
Adjusted EBITDA margin - excluding unusual items19.7 %21.4 %

Environmental revenues totaled $204 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with $269 million in the prior-year quarter. This change is principally attributable to lower demand for environmental services and applied products as a result of COVID-19 and foreign currency translation impacts. The segment's GAAP operating income and adjusted EBITDA totaled $14 million and $40 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2020. These figures compare with GAAP operating income of $28 million and adjusted EBITDA of $58 million in the prior-year period. The change in the segment's adjusted EBITDA relative to the prior-year quarter is attributable to the above factors, partially offset by lower SG&A and operating costs resulting from Company actions to mitigate the COVID-19 economic headwinds. Environmental's adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.7 percent in the second quarter of 2020.

Note: The 2019 financial information provided above and discussed below for Clean Earth is not incorporated within Harsco's consolidated results and is provided only for comparison purposes. Also, these prior-year figures do not include a corporate cost allocation and do not include ESOL.

Clean Earth revenues totaled $162 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with $69 million in the prior-year quarter. Segment operating income was nominal and adjusted EBITDA totaled $11 million in the second quarter of 2020. These figures compare with $4 million and $11 million, respectively, in the prior-year period. The increase in revenues is attributable to the ESOL acquisition in April 2020, while the EBITDA comparison for the periods reflects that the positive acquisition contributions were offset by lower demand for hazardous and non-hazardous materials services as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.

Rail
($ in millions)Q2 2020Q2 2019%Change
Revenues$82  $82  — %
Operating income - GAAP$8.6  $9.4  (9)%
Adjusted EBITDA - excluding unusual items$10  $12  (16)%
Adjusted EBITDA margin - excluding unusual items12.2 %14.5 %

Rail revenues were essentially unchanged at $82 million. The segment's operating income and adjusted EBITDA totaled $9 million and $10 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2020. These figures compare with operating income of $9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $12 million in the prior-year quarter. The EBITDA change year-on-year is attributable to a less favorable product mix and lower aftermarket parts and technology product volumes, partially offset by higher contracting contributions and lower administrative expenses. Rail's adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.2 percent in the second quarter of 2020.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $33 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with net cash used by operating activities of $9 million in the prior-year period. Free cash flow was $18 million (before transaction expenses) in the second quarter of 2020, compared with $(45) million in the prior-year period. The improvement in free cash flow compared with the prior-year quarter is attributable to changes in net cash from operating activities, including cash generated from working capital, and lower capital expenditures.

COVID-19 Update / Outlook

The Company believes that underlying business volumes stabilized early in the second quarter. However, business conditions remain dynamic and uneven across various markets, and the pace of the recovery remains slow. In this context, Harsco continues to take the necessary steps to minimize the operational and financial impacts of the pandemic on the business, while providing critical services and products to its customers and adhering to its Global Principles, which set operating standards for current business needs as well as workplace safety and flexibility measures.

Capital expenditures will remain tightly controlled for the foreseeable future and Harsco continues to defer certain tax and pension payments. These efforts will strengthen the Company's free cash flow and preserve its financial flexibility. The Company is also taking more aggressive actions to further flex its cost structure. In this regard, the Company is now targeting cost savings of $20 million for the year, versus $15 million previously.

As previously announced, Harsco will not be providing detailed guidance given the uncertainty around the pandemic and its evolving impact on relevant markets. The Company's forward-looking guidance is limited to directional comments about the third quarter of 2020. Based on recent and current market conditions and the Company's performance, Harsco anticipates that its revenues in the third quarter will increase relative to the second quarter of 2020. However, the Company believes that its third quarter adjusted EBITDA will be slightly below second quarter 2020 results. This outlook contemplates some modest improvement in end-markets during the third quarter, with this positive impact offset by the timing of certain expenditures which were less impactful on the Company's second quarter 2020 results.
2019 - 2020 ESG Report

Harsco released its 2019-2020 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, which highlights the company’s sustainability accomplishments throughout the 2019 fiscal year and the first half of 2020. Harsco’s most comprehensive sustainability report to date provides a detailed look at the company’s vision, strategy, governance and key focus areas where Harsco delivers value for its business and positive outcomes for stakeholders – Innovative Solutions, Safe Workplaces, Inspired People and Thriving Environment.

The conference call will be broadcast live through the Harsco Corporation website at www.harsco.com. The Company will refer to a slide presentation that accompanies its formal remarks.

(b)Harsco Environmental Segment severance costs (six months 2020 $5.2 million pre-tax).
(c)Costs at Corporate associated with amending the Company's existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities to increase the net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio covenant (Q2 2020 $1.4 million pre-tax; six months 2020 $1.9 million pre-tax) and costs at Corporate related to the unused bridge financing commitment and Term Loan B amendment (Q2 and six months 2019 $7.4 million pre-tax).

(f)Fair value adjustment to contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of Altek (Q2 2019 $3.9 million pretax; six months $3.5 million pre-tax). The Company adjusts operating income and Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to exclude the impact of the change in fair value to the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability for the Altek acquisition because it believes that the adjustment for this item more closely correlates the reported financial measures with the ordinary and ongoing course of the Company's operations.
(g)Harsco Environmental Segment gain related to the liquidation of cumulated translation adjustment related to an exited country (six months 2019 $2.3 million pre-tax).
(h)Unusual items are tax-effected at the global effective tax rate, before discrete items, in effect at the time the unusual item is recorded, except for unusual items from countries where no tax benefit can be realized, in which case a zero percent tax rate is used.
(i)Acquisition amortization expense was $8.4 million pre-tax and $14.3 million pre-tax for Q2 and six months 2020, respectively; and $1.9 million pre-tax and $3.8 million pre-tax for Q2 and six months 2019, respectively.
(j)Does not total due to rounding.
The Company’s management believes Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful to investors because it provides an overall understanding of the Company’s historical and future prospects. Exclusion of unusual items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the Company’s core business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the Company’s performance. Exclusion of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense, the amount of which can vary by the timing, size and nature of the Company’s acquisitions, facilitates more consistent internal comparisons of operating results over time between the Company’s newly acquired and long-held businesses, and comparisons with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. It is important to note that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. This measure should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, other information provided in accordance with GAAP.

(a) The Company's acquisition of ESOL closed on April 6, 2020 and the Company's acquisition of Clean Earth closed on June 28, 2019.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and consists of income from continuing operations adjusted to add back income tax expense; equity income of unconsolidated entities, net; net interest; defined benefit pension income (expense); unused debt commitment and amendment fees; and depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs); and excludes unusual items. Segment Adjusted EBITDA consists of operating income from continuing operations adjusted to exclude unusual items and add back depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs).  The sum of the Segments’ Adjusted EBITDA equals consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. The Company‘s management believes Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to investors because management reviews Adjusted EBITDA in assessing and evaluating performance. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for net income from continuing operations, operating income from continuing operations and other information provided in accordance with GAAP. The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from methods used by other companies and, as a result, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies.

The Company's management believes that Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations less capital expenditures net of asset sales proceeds and transaction-related expenditures for planning and performance evaluation purposes. It is important to note that free cash flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements and settlements of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, are not deducted from this measure. This measure should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, other information provided in accordance with GAAP.
