MIDDLETON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2021-- Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB; “Spectrum Brands” or the “Company”), a leading global branded consumer products and home essentials company focused on driving innovation and providing exceptional customer service, today reported results from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 ended April 4, 2021.

“Our latest financial results for second quarter reflect another quarter of exceptional top line growth and operating leverage, with net sales growth of 23%, net income from continuing operations increased $96 million with adjusted EBITDA up 29% to $181 million. Our operating leverage also improved despite higher inflation and incremental investments in marketing and advertising. Higher re-investments continue to reignite the fly wheel of new product launches, improving our top line growth, expanding our margins and driving greater profitability and cash flow generation,” said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.

“Our balance sheet this quarter also improved sequentially, ending the quarter with net leverage of 3.2 times and over $860 million in total liquidity. Going forward, we will continue to focus on disciplined execution of our winning playbook. Our stellar first half financial performance and continued organic growth give us confidence in again raising our earnings framework to reflect mid-teens net sales and adjusted EBITDA growth, as well as adjusted free cash flow of $260 million to $280 million. We are also raising our total gross savings target from our Global Productivity Improvement Program to $200 million by the end of fiscal 2022" said Mr. Maura.

  • Net sales increased 22.6%. Excluding the impact of $18.0 million of favorable foreign exchange rates and acquisition sales of $26.8 million, organic net sales increased 17.8%, with growth across all four business units.
  • Gross profit margin was in-line with a year ago with higher volumes in all business units, improved efficiencies from our Global Productivity Improvement Program (GPIP) and favorable mix, offset by higher freight and input cost inflation and last year's retrospective tariff exclusion benefits.
  • Operating income growth was driven by higher volumes, improved productivity and lower restructuring costs, partially offset by higher freight and input cost inflation and marketing and advertising investments.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 28.8% and adjusted EBITDA margins increased 70 basis points.

Security sales reflected growth across retail, e-commerce and new build channels. Organic net sales increased 17.4% excluding slightly favorable foreign exchange impacts.

Higher operating income and adjusted EBITDA were driven by positive volumes and productivity improvements, partially offset by last year's benefit from retrospective tariff exclusions, higher freight and input cost inflation, distribution costs, COVID-19 related costs and higher marketing investments.

Higher net sales were attributable to continued growth in the aquatics and companion animal categories, with broad-based demand across sub-categories and channel partners. Excluding favorable foreign exchange impacts of $6.1 million and acquisition sales of $26.8 million, organic net sales grew 10.0%.

Higher operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and improved margins were driven by existing and acquired volume growth and productivity improvements, partially offset by higher freight and input cost inflation and distribution costs, as well as advertisement and marketing investments. Operating income growth was also impacted by lower restructuring costs.

Net sales grew across all three categories - controls, household insecticides, and repellents. Performance was driven by strong early season orders across channels.

Improved operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and margins were driven by volume growth, favorable mix and productivity improvements, partially offset by advertisement and marketing investments and higher distribution expenses.

Liquidity and Debt

As of the end of the quarter, the Company had a cash balance of $290 million and approximately $2,610 million of debt outstanding, consisting of approximately $2,051 million of senior unsecured notes, $400 million of term loans and approximately $159 million of capital leases and other obligations.

Net leverage at the end of the second quarter was 3.2 times, compared to 3.4 times at the end of the previous quarter.

Fiscal 2021 Earnings Framework

Spectrum Brands now expects mid-teens reported net sales growth (previously high single-digit growth), with foreign exchange expected to have a positive impact based upon current rates.

Adjusted EBITDA is also expected to increase mid-teens (previously high single-digit growth) with the backdrop of continued transportation and commodity related inflation. Adjusted free cash flow is now expected to be between $260 million and $280 million (previously $250 million-$270 million), with plans for incremental investments in inventory levels.

Non-GAAP Measurements

Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in providing additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. Management believes that organic net sales provide for a more complete understanding of underlying business trends of regional and segment performance by excluding the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations and the impact of acquisitions. In addition, within this release, including the supplemental information attached hereto, reference is made to adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to evaluate segment performance and frequently used by the financial community which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA also is one of the measures used for determining compliance with the Company’s debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales of the Company. The Company’s management uses adjusted diluted EPS as one means of analyzing the Company’s current and future financial performance and identifying trends in its financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that adjusted diluted EPS is a useful measure for providing further insight into our operating performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. An income tax adjustment is included in adjusted diluted EPS to exclude the impact of the valuation allowance against deferred taxes and other tax-related items in order to reflect a normalized ongoing effective tax rate. Adjusted free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our ability to generate cash flow from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt principal, dividends and share repurchases and meet its working capital requirements. Our definition of adjusted free cash flow takes into consideration capital investments required to maintain operations of our businesses and execute our strategy. The Company provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While the Company’s management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results. Other Supplemental Information has been provided to demonstrate reconciliation of non-GAAP measurements discussed above to most relevant GAAP financial measurements.

ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS

We define adjusted diluted EPS as reported diluted EPS excluding the effect of one-time, non-recurring activity and volatility associated with our income tax expense. The Company believes that adjusted diluted EPS provides further insight and comparability in operating performance as it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. Adjustments to diluted EPS include the following:

  • Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with the restructuring initiatives across the Company's segments;
  • Transaction related charges that consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, including development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of transition service arrangements (TSAs) and reverse TSAs;
  • Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock;
  • Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable);
  • Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);
  • Incremental interest costs recognized for the early extinguishment debt, including the cash payment of premium from early extinguishment and non-cash write-off of debt issuance costs during the three and six month periods ended April 4, 2021 and six month period ended March 29, 2020;
  • Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) proposed settlement on outstanding litigation matters at our H&G division attributable to significant and unusual non-recurring claims with no previous history or precedent realized during the six month period ended April 4, 2021, (2) legal and litigation costs associated with Salus during the three and six month period ended March 29, 2020 as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company, (3) foreign currency attributable to multicurrency loans for the three and six month period ended March 29, 2020, that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company and the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestitures, (4) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at Company facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin during the three and six month period ended March 29, 2020 and (5) incremental costs for separation of a key executive during the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020.

Income tax adjustment to diluted EPS is to exclude the impact of adjusting the valuation allowance against deferred taxes and other tax related items in order to reflect a normalized ongoing effective tax rate of 25.0% for the three and six month periods ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020 based upon enacted corporate tax rate in the United States.

We define organic net sales as reported net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions. We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rate and/or acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to reported net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’s net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior period. The following is a reconciliation of reported sales to organic sales for the three and six month period ended April 4, 2021 compared to reported net sales for the three and six month period ended March 29, 2020:

ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN

Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization) is a non-GAAP metric used by management that we believe provides useful information to investors because it reflects ongoing operating performance and trends of our segments excluding certain non-cash based expenses and/or non-recurring items during each of the comparable periods and facilitates comparisons between peer companies since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Further, adjusted EBITDA is a measure used for determining the Company’s debt covenant. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the following:

  • Stock based and other incentive compensation costs that consist of costs associated with long-term compensation arrangements and other equity based compensation based upon achievement of long-term performance metrics; and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the six month periods ended April 4, 2021 and three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020, other incentive compensation includes certain incentive bridge awards issued due to changes in the Company’s LTIP that allow for cash based payment upon employee election but do not qualify for shared-based compensation. All bridge awards fully vested in November 2020;
  • Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with the restructuring initiatives across the Company's segments;
  • Transaction related charges that consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, including development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of transition service arrangements (TSAs) and reverse TSAs;
  • Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock;
  • Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable);
  • Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);
  • Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) proposed settlement on outstanding litigation matters at our H&G division attributable to significant and unusual non-recurring claims with no previous history or precedent realized during the six month period ended April 4, 2021, (2) legal costs associated with Salus during the three and six month periods ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020 as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company, (3) foreign currency attributable to multicurrency loans for the three and six month period ended March 29, 2020, that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company and the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestitures, (4) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at Company facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin during the three and six month period ended March 29, 2020 and (5) incremental costs for separation of a key executive during the three and six month period ended March 29, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of reported net sales for the respective periods.

Compensation Program Change

During the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company made a change to its annual management incentive plans ("MIP") payout that previously provided for the issuance of stock for a designated pool of recipients in lieu of cash. The annual MIP payout was fully funded through cash distributions with no stock issuance. Our operating performance metric of Adjusted EBITDA excludes any consideration for stock-based compensation expense. Additionally, the Company had historically recognized all stock based compensation costs in the prior periods.

The program change continued into fiscal 2021 and beyond. Any MIP payouts will be paid in cash and reflected as a reduction to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Beginning in fiscal 2021, the Company has recognized a portion of the MIP compensation as a component of the segment EBITDA which may impact comparability of segment results with the three and six month period ended March 29, 2020. Although not expected to be material to operating results, we have included proforma financial information below to reflect the compensation charge related to the compensation program change as if it were not considered stock compensation at the beginning of 2020 fiscal year and have allocated it to the segment EBITDA for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 for comparability.
