Spectrum Brands Announces Strong Fiscal 2009 Results; Investor Call Planned for January 6, 2010
"2009 was a watershed year for Spectrum Brands," said Kent Hussey, CEO of Spectrum Brands. "We successfully completed a major financial restructuring in which we eliminated more than $800 million of debt and emerged a stronger competitor and a financially healthier business. Additionally, despite the tough economy, our product lines, many of which benefited from our value positioning, continued to perform very well and delivered improved adjusted EBITDA over fiscal 2008."
Fresh Start Reporting
In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy on August 28, 2009 and the application of fresh-start reporting on August 30, 2009, in accordance with ASC Topic 852, "Reorganizations," formerly the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code, the post emergence results for the Company's one month period ended September 30, 2009 (references to the Company for such period, the "Successor Company") and the results for the eleven month period ended August 30, 2009 (references to the Company for such period and for prior periods, the "Predecessor Company") are presented separately. For illustrative purposes in this earnings release, the Company has combined the separate Successor Company and Predecessor Company results to derive combined results for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2009. However, because of various adjustments to our financial statements in connection with the adoption of fresh-start reporting, including asset valuation adjustments, adjustments to liabilities and recognition of cancellation of indebtedness income, the results of operations for the Successor Company are not comparable to those of the Predecessor Company. (See Note 2, "Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11", of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 for additional information on fresh-start reporting.)
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2009 Consolidated Financial Results
The Company reported Net Income of $1,152.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 and $943.2 million for the full year fiscal 2009. With only one month of history for the common stock that was issued upon the Company's emergence from Chapter 11, the Company did not include a table or discussion on the earnings per share calculation within this release for that one month, as prior periods do not reflect the Company's new capital structure.
The Company reported consolidated net sales of $589.4 million and $2,230.5 million for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2009, respectively. These numbers compare to $668.0 million and $2,426.6 million for the same periods, respectively, in fiscal 2008. In addition to timing differences for the fourth quarter, results were impacted by inventory de-stocking at retailers and internal SKU rationalization initiatives. Also negatively impacting sales were unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $20.3 million for the fourth quarter and $129.4 million for the full year fiscal 2009 versus fiscal 2008 results.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement which the Company believes is a useful indicator of the operating health of the business and its trends, was $91.4 million and $309.9 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2009. This compares to $98.2 million and $296.9 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2008. The Company implemented numerous cost cutting and SKU rationalization initiatives throughout its business units to help drive improved adjusted EBITDA for the year. In addition, foreign exchange had negative impacts versus fiscal 2008 on consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million for the fourth quarter and $23.9 million for the full year.
Liquidity
The Company ended fiscal 2009 on September 30, 2009 with $97.8 million in cash. Approximately $1,345 million was drawn under the Company's senior term credit facilities, and $78.2 million was drawn on the Company's $242 million ABL facility as of such date.
Segment Level Data
Global Battery and Personal Care
The Company's Global Battery and Personal Care segment delivered improved adjusted EBITDA over fiscal 2008 in spite of lower sales. The Company reported $361.4 million in net sales from the Global Battery and Personal Care segment for the fourth quarter compared with $423.6 million for the same period last year due to later holiday orders from certain retailers and negative foreign exchange impacts of $19.8 million versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company anticipates its first quarter sales of fiscal 2010 to be positively impacted versus its historical results due to the delay of retailer orders for product shipments for the holidays. For the full year, net sales were $1,335.0 million for fiscal 2009, down from $1,493.7 million the previous year as sales growth in North America was offset by negative foreign exchange impacts versus fiscal 2008 of $118.3 million, declines overseas driven by weak macroeconomic environments, and as discussed above, the delay of certain retailer orders of 2009 holiday product shipments.
The Company's North American battery business gained market share during fiscal 2009. However, these gains were offset by weak economic factors overseas and negative foreign exchange impacts. Global battery sales were $228.6 million and $818.6 million for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2009, respectively. In comparison, global battery sales were $261.5 million and $916.2 million for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2008, respectively. Negative foreign exchange impacts of $11.9 million for the fourth quarter and $70.2 million for the full year versus fiscal 2008 tempered the top line results for fiscal 2009 global battery sales.
Full year North American battery sales increased 12.3 percent over last year to $327.6 million, including negative foreign exchange impacts of $2.4 million. European battery sales were down 15.2 percent for the year to $331.2 million as the Company chose to exit unprofitable SKUs and accounts coupled with the significant slowdown in certain of the local economies. Also, European battery sales were negatively impacted by foreign exchange of $44.4 million. Latin American battery sales, where the Company saw the most dramatic effects of the weak macro-economic trends as well as retailer inventory de-stocking in Brazil, reported a sales decrease of 31.7 percent for fiscal 2009, resulting in full year battery sales of $159.8 million including a negative foreign exchange impact of $23.4 million.
Global full year sales of Remington branded products were roughly flat year-over-year after adjusting for the negative effects of foreign exchange. For the quarter, later timing of holiday orders resulted in sales for the fourth quarter of 2009 of $112.3 million compared with $132.2 million for the same period of fiscal 2008. Again, the Company expects first quarter fiscal 2010 sales of Remington products to benefit from the delay in holiday shipments in the fourth quarter of 2009. Foreign exchange negatively impacted the fourth quarter Remington sales by $7.0 million versus the same quarter of fiscal 2008. For the full year, including $42.8 million of negative foreign exchange impacts, Remington reported sales of $436.4 million for fiscal 2009 versus $477.8 million for fiscal 2008.
Despite significant foreign exchange pressures, the Global Battery and Personal Care segment delivered improved full year adjusted EBITDA over fiscal 2008. The segment reported adjusted EBITDA of $59.8 million and $192.8 million for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2009, respectively. During fiscal 2008, the Global Battery and Personal Care segment reported adjusted EBITDA of $63.1 million for the fourth quarter and $185.2 million for the full year. Foreign exchange negatively impacted the segment's fiscal 2009 adjusted EBITDA results by $5.7 million for the fourth quarter and $32.0 million for the full year.
Global Pet Supplies
The Global Pet Supplies segment reported net sales of $154.8 million for the quarter, down from $159.2 million for the same period last year. Foreign exchange had a minimal negative impact of $0.5 million on the quarter for Global Pet Supplies. For the full year fiscal 2009, Global Pet Supplies reported net sales of $573.9 million compared with $598.6 million for fiscal 2008. Foreign exchange had a negative impact of $11.0 million on the full year fiscal 2009 net sales for the Global Pet Supplies segment. Despite holding its market share in the space, the entire aquatics category, particularly in the sale of equipment, was down year-over-year resulting in decreased sales. This trend, along with inventory de-stocking at certain retailers, was partially offset by notable strength in the Company's sales of its Dingo and Nature's Miracle branded products within its companion animal category.
Benefiting from aggressive operating expense reductions and pricing initiatives, the Company reported adjusted EBITDA for the Global Pet Supplies Segment of $30.4 million for the fourth quarter 2009 and $93.2 million for the full year fiscal 2009, compared with $26.8 million and $92.1 million for the same periods of fiscal 2008, respectively. This improvement in profitability for the segment was partially offset by increases in certain product input costs which preceded pricing initiatives.
Home and Garden
The Company reported net sales from its Home and Garden segment, consisting of the Company's controls products, of $73.2 million for the fourth quarter and $321.6 million for the full year, compared with $85.0 million and $334.1 million for the same periods of 2008, respectively. While the Company's products held their share positions in their respective categories during 2009, this decrease in revenues was driven primarily by the business unit's decision to decrease its SKUs by 30 percent during the year in order to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, as well as tighter inventory controls at retailers.
The Company's Home and Garden segment delivered adjusted EBITDA of $9.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and improved full year adjusted EBITDA over last year by $1.3 million to $53.9 million. For fiscal 2008, this segment delivered adjusted EBITDA of $18.7 million for the fourth quarter as lower revenues, coupled with increased customer offers, rebates and close-out activity created a large quarter-over-quarter variance and $52.6 million for the full year fiscal 2008.
Investor Update Call Scheduled for January 6, 2010
The Company anticipates resuming the practice of hosting quarterly earnings calls beginning on January 6, 2010 at 4 PM, EST with the discussion of the fiscal 2009 results, included in this press release.

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 current exchange rate fluctuations may provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying business trends.In addition, within this release, including the tables attached hereto, reference is made to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).See attached Table 3, "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA," for a reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the one month, three months and twelve months ended September 30, 2009 versus the three months and twelve months ended September 30, 2008 on a consolidated basis and for each of the Company's business segments.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 can also 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.Spectrum Brands 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 Spectrum Brands' 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.
