CAMP HILL, Pa., Aug. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harsco Corporation (NYSE: HSC) today reported second quarter 2021 results. On a U.S. GAAP ("GAAP") basis, second quarter of 2021 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.18 including certain strategic costs. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2021 were $0.28. These figures compare with a second quarter of 2020 GAAP diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.14 and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.13.
GAAP operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2021 was $36 million. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $78 million in the quarter, compared to the Company's previously provided guidance range of $73 million to $79 million.
“Harsco continued to experience strong growth and operational momentum during the second quarter in each of our businesses," said Chairman and CEO Nick Grasberger. “The underlying business strength has broadened to include certain businesses that had lagged earlier in the economic recovery, and was supported by our ongoing operational improvements and key initiatives. We have also continued to make good progress on our integration with Clean Earth, which remains one of our near term priorities along with the ongoing efforts to strengthening our financial position. I am confident that Harsco is well-positioned to benefit as the global economy strengthens further, and we expect to create additional shareholder value in the future through our ongoing business transformation.”

Consolidated Second Quarter Operating Results
Consolidated total revenues from continuing operations were $570 million, an increase of 27 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. Each business segment realized meaningful revenue growth versus the comparable 2020 quarter. Foreign currency translation positively impacted second quarter 2021 revenues by approximately $16 million compared with the prior-year period, translating to an organic growth rate of 24 percent.GAAP operating income from continuing operations was $36 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $2 million in the same quarter of last year. Meanwhile, adjusted EBITDA totaled $78 million in the second quarter of 2021 versus $59 million in the second quarter of 2020. This adjusted EBITDA increase is attributable to improved performance in each of the Company's business segments as a result of strengthening economic conditions, internal improvement actions and growth initiatives.
Second Quarter Business Review
Environmental
($ in millions) Q2 2021 Q2 2020 Q1 2021 Revenues $ 273 $ 204 $ 258 Operating income - GAAP $ 30 $ 14 $ 26 Adjusted EBITDA - excluding unusual items $ 58 $ 40 $ 54 Adjusted EBITDA margin - excluding unusual items 21.2 % 19.7 % 20.8 % Environmental revenues totaled $273 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 34 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. This increase is principally attributable to improved demand for environmental services and applied products as well as favorable foreign exchange movements. The segment's GAAP operating income and adjusted EBITDA totaled $30 million and $58 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021. These figures compare with GAAP operating income of $14 million and adjusted EBITDA of $40 million in the prior-year period. The year-on-year improvement in adjusted earnings is attributable to increased services and products demand, as noted above.
Clean Earth
($ in millions) Q2 2021 Q2 2020 Q1 2021 Revenues $ 196 $ 162 $ 189 Operating income - GAAP $ 7 $ — $ 3 Adjusted EBITDA - excluding unusual items $ 18 $ 11 $ 15 Adjusted EBITDA margin - excluding unusual items 9.4 % 7.0 % 7.7 % Note: The 2020 financial information provided above and discussed below for Clean Earth does not include a corporate cost allocation for ESOL.
Clean Earth revenues totaled $196 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 21 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. The revenue increase is attributable to increased environmental services demand within both the hazardous waste and contaminated-dredge materials lines of business. Segment operating income was $7 million and adjusted EBITDA totaled $18 million in the second quarter of 2021. These figures compare with zero operating income and adjusted EBITDA of $11 million, respectively, in the prior-year period. The improvement in adjusted earnings is attributable to the above factors as well as integration improvement benefits. These factors were partially offset by personnel investments to support the Clean Earth platform and certain other expenditures, including IT and rebranding related expenses, which will not occur beyond 2021. Lastly, Clean Earth's adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 9.4 percent in the second quarter of 2021 versus 7.0 percent in the comparable-quarter of 2020.
Rail
($ in millions) Q2 2021 Q2 2020 Q1 2021 Revenues $ 101 $ 82 $ 82 Operating income (loss) - GAAP $ 9 $ 9 $ 5 Adjusted EBITDA - excluding unusual items $ 10 $ 10 $ 6 Adjusted EBITDA margin - excluding unusual items 10.1 % 12.2 % 7.3 % Rail revenues increased 24 percent compared with the prior-year quarter to $101 million. This increase principally reflects higher global equipment revenues, including those under various long-term supply contracts. The segment's operating income and adjusted EBITDA totaled $9 million and $10 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021, and these figures are similar to results realized in the prior-year quarter. EBITDA performance year-on-year reflects higher equipment contributions, offset by a less favorable sales mix across other business-lines and higher SG&A costs.
Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $37 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $33 million in the prior-year period. Free cash flow was $6 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared with $18 million in the prior-year period. The change in free cash flow compared with the prior-year quarter is principally related to higher capital expenditures, some of which were deferred from 2020, as well as the timing of working capital items.2021 Outlook
The Company's 2021 guidance is unchanged relative to the outlook provided with the Company's first quarter 2021 results. Comments by business segments are as follows:Environmental. For the year, the primary drivers for an increase in adjusted EBITDA compared with 2020 are expected to be favorable demand for underlying services and products as well as higher commodity prices.
Clean Earth. For the year, adjusted EBITDA is projected to increase due to the full-year impact of ESOL ownership, underlying organic growth for hazardous material services and integration benefits, partially offset by an additional allocation of Corporate costs and investments which include various non-recurring expenditures.
Rail. For the year, the primary drivers for an increase in adjusted EBITDA versus 2020 remain higher anticipated demand for equipment and technology products, as well as higher contract services contributions.
Lastly, adjusted Corporate spending is still expected to range from $36 million to $37 million for the year.
Summary Outlook highlights are as follows:
2021 Full Year Outlook GAAP Operating Income $118 - $133 million Adjusted EBITDA $295 - $310 million GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.42 - 0.57 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.82 - 0.96 Free Cash Flow Before Growth Capital $95 - $115 million Free Cash Flow $35 - $55 million Net Interest Expense $62 - $63 million Net Capital Expenditures $150 - $170 million Effective Tax Rate, Excluding Any Unusual Items 34 - 36% Q3 2021 Outlook GAAP Operating Income $31 - $37 million Adjusted EBITDA $75 - $81 million GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.15 - 0.21 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.23 - 0.29 Conference Call

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.
