MIDDLETON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 28, 2016-- Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB), a global consumer products company offering an expanding portfolio of leading brands providing superior value to consumers and customers every day, today reported record performance for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 ended April 3, 2016 and reiterated expectations for a seventh consecutive year of record results for fiscal 2016.

Fiscal 2016 Second Quarter Highlights:

Net sales of $1.21 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 13.4 percent compared to $1.07 billion last year. Excluding the negative impact of $32.1 million of foreign exchange and acquisition sales of $122.8 million, organic sales increased 4.9 percent from the prior year.
Net income of $75.2 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.26 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to net income of $27.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.52 in fiscal 2015.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, of $1.16 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 increased compared to $0.69 last year predominantly due to the impact of the GAC acquisition and improved mix, partially offset by higher interest expense and common shares outstanding. See Table 4 for a reconciliation to GAAP earnings per share.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $229.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 44.3 percent compared to $159.1 million in fiscal 2015. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange of $17.7 million, as well as acquisition EBITDA of $49.1 million, organic adjusted EBITDA of $198.2 million increased 24.6 percent versus the prior year’s quarter. See Table 5 for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.
Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 improved to 19.0 percent compared to 14.9 percent in the year-ago quarter primarily due to the GAC acquisition, improved mix and operating expense leverage. See Table 5 for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.
Fiscal 2016 net cash provided from operating activities after purchases of property, plant and equipment (free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure) is expected to grow to approximately $505-$515 million versus $454 million in fiscal 2015 and $359 million in fiscal 2014. See Table 6 for a reconciliation to Forecasted GAAP Cash Flow from Operating Activities.

“Our solid second quarter results, together with our strong first quarter, gives us an excellent first half and momentum to deliver a 7^th consecutive year of record performance in fiscal 2016,” said Andreas Rouvé, Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands Holdings. “Home and Garden and HHI delivered record results and, regionally, there were solid performances in the U.S. as well as in Europe and Latin America on a currency neutral basis.

“We are pleased with our organic sales growth of 4.9% in the second quarter, as virtually all of businesses globally contributed to the increase,” he said. “Organic adjusted EBITDA grew at a faster rate as every business improved. Margin expansion reflected the leverage we are achieving from our global infrastructure and shared services platform, favorable mix, tight expense controls, and a healthy level of continuous improvement savings.

“At the same time, we are selectively investing more in R&D, marketing and other growth initiatives and building out sales teams to help push our ‘more, more, more’ organic strategy to enter more countries, serve more channels, and launch more categories through leveraging our strong retailer relationships,” Mr. Rouvé said.

“Global Auto Care delivered a good quarter and excellent margin and is positioned for the seasonally strong spring and summer months if favorable weather and solid POS materialize,” he said. “The GAC integration continues on a fast and smooth timetable with realization of expected synergies. The business is pivoting from first-year integration to executing its international growth strategy, working closely with our commercial teams around the world.

“Looking to the balance of the year, the second half should again be larger than the first half, given the seasonal nature of some of our businesses,” Mr. Rouvé said. “We see healthy top- and bottom-line improvement driven by distribution gains, innovation and continuous improvement savings. However, we are still working to deliver better performances from our North American battery business and our global appliances division, which is facing intense competition. We plan significant debt reduction and deleveraging and are on track to grow our free cash flow this year by more than 10 percent.

“Our focus is managing the business for long-term, sustainable organic growth, increasing our adjusted EBITDA and maximizing free cash flow,” Mr. Rouvé said.

Fiscal 2016 Second Quarter Consolidated Financial Results

Net sales of $1.21 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 13.4 percent compared to $1.07 billion in fiscal 2015. Excluding the negative impact of $32.1 million of foreign exchange, as well as acquisition sales of $122.8 million, organic sales increased 4.9 percent.

Gross profit and gross profit margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 were $462.8 million and 38.3 percent, respectively, compared to $374.7 million and 35.1 percent, respectively, last year. The gross profit margin percentage increase was primarily due to the impact of the GAC acquisition and favorable mix, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange.

Operating expenses of $314.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $286.3 million in the prior year. The increase was predominantly due to the GAC acquisition and higher stock-based compensation expense.

The Company reported GAAP net income of $75.2 million, or $1.26 diluted income per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 on average diluted shares and common stock equivalents outstanding of 59.5 million. In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, GAAP net income was $27.8 million, or $0.52 diluted income per share, on average diluted shares and common stock equivalents outstanding of 53.3 million. Adjusted for certain items in both fiscal years, which are presented in Table 4 of this press release and which management believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing normalized operations, the Company generated adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, of $1.16 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, an increase of 68.1 percent compared to $0.69 in fiscal 2015 primarily due to the GAC acquisition and favorable mix, partially offset by higher interest expense and common shares outstanding.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $229.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 44.3 percent compared to $159.1 million in fiscal 2015. Excluding the negative impact of $17.7 million of foreign exchange, as well as acquisition-related EBITDA of $49.1 million, organic adjusted EBITDA of $198.2 increased 24.6 percent versus the second quarter of 2015. All of the Company’s businesses delivered improved adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.0 percent increased from 14.9 percent last year. See Table 5 for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Fiscal 2016 First Half Consolidated Financial Results

Net sales of $2.43 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2016 increased 13.8 percent compared to $2.13 billion for the same period in fiscal 2015. Excluding the negative impact of $93.6 million of foreign exchange, as well as acquisition sales of $267.8 million, organic sales of $2.25 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2016 increased 5.6 percent from the prior year.

The Company reported GAAP net income of $148.8 million, or $2.50 diluted income per share, in the first six months of fiscal 2016 on average shares and common stock equivalents outstanding of 59.4 million. In the first half of fiscal 2015, the Company reported GAAP net income of $77.6 million, or $1.46 diluted income per share, on average shares and common stock equivalents outstanding of 53.1 million. Adjusted for certain items in both years’ first six months, which are presented in Table 4 of this press release and which management believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing normalized operations, the Company generated adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, of $2.16 in the first half of fiscal 2016 compared to $1.75 last year.

Fiscal 2016 first half adjusted EBITDA of $436.7 million compared to adjusted EBITDA in the first half of fiscal 2015 of $334.9 million. Excluding the negative impact of $51.0 million of foreign exchange, as well as acquisition EBITDA of $78.6 million, adjusted EBITDA of $409.1 million increased 22.2 percent versus last year. The reported adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.0 percent in the first half of fiscal 2016 compared to 15.7 percent in fiscal 2015. See Table 5 for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Fiscal 2016 Second Quarter Segment Level Data

Global Batteries & Appliances

The Global Batteries & Appliances segment reported fiscal 2016 second quarter net sales of $424.9 million versus $443.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Excluding the negative impact of $24.1 million of foreign exchange, fiscal 2016 second quarter net sales increased 1.1 percent. On a constant currency basis, higher net sales for the battery and personal care categories more than offset lower small appliance category revenues.

Global battery net sales of $178.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 decreased 2.0 percent compared to $181.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding negative foreign exchange impacts of $10.8 million, fiscal 2016 second quarter net sales improved 4.0 percent. Lower North American battery sales resulted primarily from the timing of retailer promotions and an exit from certain private label programs. In Europe, VARTA® battery net sales growth was primarily attributable to new customers and promotions. A double-digit increase in Latin American battery revenues on a currency neutral basis was driven by growth in alkaline and specialty batteries.

Net sales for the global personal care product category of $108.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $110.5 million last year. Excluding negative foreign exchange impacts of $5.3 million, fiscal 2016 second quarter net sales increased 2.9 percent. Double-digit net sales growth on a constant currency basis in Europe primarily from hair care and in Latin America from new listings and distribution gains more than offset lower North American revenues due predominantly to category softness, tighter retailer inventory levels, and the timing of retailer new product placements.

Net sales of $138.3 million in the global small appliances product category in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $151.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Excluding negative foreign exchange impacts of $8.0 million, fiscal 2016 second quarter net sales decreased 3.5 percent. The decline was mainly attributable to competitor discounting and softer category performance in North America and primarily the exit of unprofitable business in Latin America. European revenues were unchanged on a currency neutral basis.

Global Batteries & Appliances reported segment net income was $39.1 million versus $37.9 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of $58.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $57.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Excluding negative foreign exchange impacts of $15.6 million, organic adjusted EBITDA of $73.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 grew 29.4 percent versus the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.7 percent compared to 12.9 percent last year. See Table 5 for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Hardware & Home Improvement

The Hardware & Home Improvement (HHI) segment delivered record second quarter results. Net sales of $301.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 4.3 percent compared to $289.4 million in the prior year’s quarter. The improvement was driven by growth in the core U.S. residential security and plumbing categories. The planned exit of unprofitable businesses and expiration of a customer tolling agreement adversely impacted sales growth by 3.3 percent. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange of $5.4 million, net sales increased 6.1 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Segment reported net income of $39.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $32.4 million in the prior year’s second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $53.6 million, a record second quarter level, increased 17.3 percent versus $45.7 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.8 percent compared to 15.8 percent in the prior year. See Table 5 for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Global Pet Supplies

The Global Pet Supplies segment reported net sales of $208.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $209.8 million last year. Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange of $2.6 million and acquisition revenues of $3.3 million, fiscal 2016 second quarter organic sales of $207.8 million fell by 1.0 percent compared to the prior year. Higher companion animal revenues in North America were offset by lower aquatics net sales in Europe and the U.S., primarily due to the exit of an unprofitable aquarium promotion last year.

Segment reported net income was $18.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 versus $12.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $31.4 million compared to $30.9 million in fiscal 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 40 basis points to 15.1 percent compared to 14.7 percent in the prior year. See Table 5 for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Home and Garden

The Home and Garden segment reported record second quarter results. Fiscal 2016 second quarter net sales of $155.0 million increased 25.1 percent compared to $123.9 million in last year’s second quarter. Strong growth in the repellent and household controls categories, as well as increased sales in the lawn and garden controls category, resulted from favorable weather, the impact of the Zika virus, strong early season retailer orders and market share gains.

Segment second quarter reported net income was $39.8 million versus $28.0 million a year ago. Record second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $44.2 million increased 40.3 percent versus $31.5 million a year ago. The adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.5 percent increased 310 basis points from 25.4 percent last year. See Table 5 for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Global Auto Care

The Global Auto Care (GAC) segment reported net sales of $119.5 million, net income of $39.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $48.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. U.S. appearance and performance category consumption was solid, driven by favorable early spring weather across the U.S. and solid retailer orders. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 40.7 percent. See Table 5 for a reconciliation to GAAP net income.

Liquidity and Debt

Spectrum Brands completed its fiscal 2016 second quarter with a solid liquidity position, including a cash balance of approximately $133 million and approximately $300 million available, net of letters of credit, on its $500 million Cash Flow Revolver.

As of the end of the quarter, the Company had approximately $4,173 million of debt outstanding, excluding discounts and deferred financing fees, consisting of $175 million outstanding on its Cash Flow Revolver, a series of secured Term Loans in the aggregate amount of $1,536 million, $520 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes, $570 million of 6.625% senior unsecured notes, $250 million of 6.125% senior unsecured notes, $1 billion of 5.75% senior unsecured notes, and approximately $122 million of capital leases and other obligations.

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

Spectrum Brands expects fiscal 2016 net sales, as reported, to increase in the high-single digit range compared to fiscal 2015 reported net sales of $4.69 billion, including the positive impacts of the acquisitions of the European pet food business on December 31, 2014, Salix Animal Health on January 16, 2015 and Armored Auto Group on May 21, 2015, along with an anticipated negative impact from foreign exchange of approximately 330 to 350 basis points based on current spot rates.

Fiscal 2016 free cash flow is projected to be approximately $505-$515 million compared to $454 million in fiscal 2015. See Table 6 for a reconciliation to Forecasted GAAP Cash Flow from Operating Activities. Capital expenditures, which were $89.1 million in fiscal 2015, are expected to be in the range of $110 million to $120 million. These incremental investments include the impact of full-year expenditures supporting recent acquisitions, a major aerosol capacity expansion, and support of technology and innovation.

Non-GAAP Measurements

Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Excluding the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations may provide additional meaningful information about underlying business trends. In addition, within this release, including the tables attached hereto, reference is made to adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). See attached Table 4, “Reconciliation of GAAP Diluted Income Per Share to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share,” for a complete reconciliation of diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis to adjusted diluted earnings per share, and see attached Table 5, “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA,” for a reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the three months and six months ended April 3, 2016 versus the three months and six months ended March 29, 2015. See attached Table 6, “Reconciliation of Forecasted Cash Flow from Operating Activities to Forecasted Free Cash Flow,” for a reconciliation of Net Cash provided from Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow for the twelve months ending September 30, 2016. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management 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 can be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining the Company’s debt covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period. In addition, the Company’s management uses adjusted diluted earnings per share 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 earnings per share 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. The Company’s management believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt and meet its working capital requirements. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for pretax income (loss), net income (loss), cash provided by (used in) operating activities or other statement of operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and therefore, does not reflect funds available for investment or discretionary uses. 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.
