Spectrum Brands, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Financial Results
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2006--Spectrum Brands, Inc. (NYSE: SPC), a global consumer products company with a diverse portfolio of world-class brands, announced diluted earnings per share of one cent and pro forma diluted earnings per share of three cents for its fiscal second quarter ended April 2, 2006, in line with analysts' mean estimates as reported by First Call.
For comparison purposes, the company estimates that the prior year's pro forma diluted earnings per share would have been 42 cents when adjusted to include the impact of all 2005 and 2006 acquisitions and divestitures for the full fiscal year. See Table 4, "Reconciliation of GAAP to As Adjusted Financial Data," for further detail.
"We are disappointed by the results from our North American and European battery businesses this quarter, where a decrease in sales volume and high raw material costs, particularly zinc, resulted in significant underperformance to our expectations," said Spectrum Brands Chairman and CEO Dave Jones. "However, we are encouraged by this quarter's good performance from our specialty pet and Remington product portfolios. Our lawn and garden business is poised for a solid performance in the upcoming selling season with consumer purchases at retail up ten percent, although inventory management initiatives by some of our largest retail customers had a negative impact on Q2 lawn and garden sales."
"With a challenging second quarter behind us, we are now moving forward with a renewed focus on organic sales growth, aggressive cost management and debt reduction. Through the various restructuring activities we have previously announced, we are committed to aggressively pursuing cost management initiatives throughout our organization designed to achieve $150 million in annual cost savings by the end of fiscal 2007. At the same time, we are increasing our focus on sales growth and investing in our brands through new product development and increased advertising."
Financial results for the quarter ended April 2, 2006 include results from United Industries, acquired on February 7, 2005, Tetra Holding GmbH, acquired on April 29, 2005, and Jungle Labs, acquired on September 1, 2005. Financial results for periods prior to the acquisition dates exclude United, Tetra and Jungle. On January 25, 2006 Spectrum Brands divested its Canadian fertilizer technology and professional products businesses. As a result of this sale the company has reported the second quarter results of these businesses as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for both 2006 and 2005.
Pro forma diluted EPS and other pro forma results referenced in this release exclude the impact of certain items detailed in the attached Table 3, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro Forma Financial Data," and Table 5, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro Forma EPS Guidance." In addition, the company has provided certain information to assist investors in better understanding the seasonality of its ongoing business. This information, a representation of fiscal 2005 quarterly results adjusted to include the acquisitions of United, Tetra and Jungle Labs, and the divestiture of the Canadian fertilizer technology and professional products businesses, can be found on the company's website. A summary of this information for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 is provided in the attached Table 4, "Reconciliation of GAAP to As Adjusted Financial Data."
Second Quarter Results
Spectrum Brands' second quarter net sales were $625.1 million, as compared to $521.0 million for the same period last year. Revenue contribution from acquisitions was $118.6 million. Unfavorable currency translation impacted sales by a net $6.9 million. When compared to management's estimates of fiscal year 2005 revenue adjusted to include all acquisitions and dispositions for the full period, net sales declined by four percentage points.
Gross profit for the quarter was $233.7 million versus $185.6 million for the same period last year. Cost of goods sold during the quarter included $0.4 million in restructuring and related charges, and 2005 second quarter results included a $27.7 million inventory valuation charge associated with the United acquisition. Excluding these charges, gross profit margin for the second quarter was 37.5 percent versus 40.9 percent for the same period last year. The decline in gross margin percentage resulted primarily from lower sales in the global battery business and increased raw material costs. Management's estimate of gross profit in fiscal year 2005's second quarter, when adjusted to include all acquisitions and dispositions, is $269.9, or 41.4 percent of net sales.
Operating income was $38.7 million versus fiscal 2005's second quarter operating income of $33.1 million. Operating expenses in 2006 included restructuring and related charges of $6.1 million primarily related to the integration of United and rationalization of the company's European sales and marketing organization. In 2005 operating expenses included $0.2 million in restructuring and related charges resulting from the United acquisition. Pro forma operating income for the second quarter was $44.9 million, or 7.2 percent of sales, compared to $61.0 million, or 11.7 percent of sales last year. Management's estimate of operating income in fiscal year 2005's second quarter, when adjusted to include all acquisitions and dispositions, is $70.1, or 10.7 percent of net sales.
Second quarter interest expense was $42.9 million as compared to $39.0 million last year. Total debt at April 2, 2006 was $2.3 billion. The company generated approximately $100 million in cash proceeds during the quarter from the divestiture of the Canadian fertilizer technology and professional products businesses and sale of other assets.
Second Quarter Segment Results
North American net sales were $315.8 million compared with $280.6 million reported last year. When 2005 results are adjusted to include all acquisitions and divestitures for the full year, net sales show a year over year decline of three percent. Battery and lighting sales declined 20 percent as recovery of alkaline battery sales under the company's new "Performance Guaranteed" marketing program was slower than anticipated and retail inventory reductions on the part of several large customers negatively impacted sales. Remington branded product sales improved by 23%, as the company grew market share in all categories, including men's and women's shaving and grooming and personal care. Although consumer purchases of Spectrum Brands lawn and garden products at retail showed positive growth of ten percent during the second quarter, reported lawn and garden sales declined one percent versus year ago standalone results for United Industries as a result of retail customers' inventory reduction programs. North American segment profits were $39.4 million versus $33.7 million reported last year.
European/ROW net sales were $117.2 million versus $144.3 million reported last year, including $9.8 million of negative currency impact. An unfavorable product mix shift from branded to private label battery sales and from higher margin specialty retail distribution channels to lower margin food and mass channels was the primary driver of a 17 percent local currency sales decline in batteries and lighting. Sales of Remington products grew by 13 percent in local currency, a result of strong penetration gains in continental Europe. Segment profitability for the quarter was $6.6 million compared with $19.4 million last year, primarily attributable to lower sales volume and higher raw material costs.
In Latin America, net sales increased to $54.3 million as compared to $49.6 million in the second quarter last year. Sales growth was driven by favorable currency of $3.4 million, combined with the successful introduction of Remington branded products in this region and modest growth in battery sales. Latin American segment profitability of $3.3 million compares to last year's $3.6 million, attributable to rising commodity prices and higher selling and marketing expenses.
In 2006, Spectrum Brands created the Global Pet segment, a new business segment for reporting purposes, comprising United Pet Group, Tetra and Jungle Labs, all of which were acquired during 2005. The Global Pet segment contributed net sales of $137.8 million and segment profits of $21.6 million during the second quarter. This compares to segment revenues of $132.8 million and segment profits of $20.6 million in the second fiscal quarter of last year when adjusted to include acquisitions for the full quarter. Excluding unfavorable currency translation of $2.5 million, Global Pet revenues increased six percent compared with last year's standalone adjusted results as the company continued to generate strong growth in companion pet sales and saw a return to growth in its aquatics business.
Corporate expenses were $25.7 million, or 4.1 percent of net sales, as compared to $23.3 million, or 4.5 percent of net sales, in the prior year period. Increased research and development expense and expansion of the Asian global operations support infrastructure were partially offset by lower corporate compensation expense.
Based on its second quarter results, Spectrum Brands has notified its lenders that the company is not in compliance with certain debt covenants required under its senior credit facility, and has entered into discussions with its lenders to address possible remedies. The company anticipates no problems with liquidity or ongoing cash generation and will update investors when discussions are completed.
Financial Outlook
Looking to the second half of fiscal 2006, the company expects continuing challenges in the European battery market, gradually improving battery results in North America, and low to mid single digit sales growth from its shaving, grooming, personal care, lawn and garden and specialty pet categories. Commodity costs are projected to remain at current high levels for the balance of the year. Taking into account these and other assumptions, the company's latest forecast for fiscal year 2006 results indicates net sales of approximately $2.6 billion and pro forma fully diluted earnings per share of between $0.90 and $1.00. See Table 5, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro Forma Earnings Guidance."
Webcast Information
Spectrum Brands management will discuss second quarter financial results in a live webcast on Tuesday, May 2, at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Interested investors and others can access this webcast through the company's website, www.spectrumbrands.com.
Non-GAAP Measurements
Throughout this release, references are made to pro forma gross profit, pro forma operating income, pro forma net income and pro forma diluted EPS. See attached Table 3, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro Forma Financial Data," for a complete reconciliation of gross profit, operating income, net income and diluted EPS on a GAAP basis to pro forma gross profit, pro forma operating income, pro forma net income and pro forma diluted EPS. The company also maintains a reconciliation of GAAP financial reporting to pro forma results in the Investor Relations section of its website, which may be found at www.spectrumbrands.com.
Spectrum Brands management and some investors use pro forma results of operations as one means of analyzing the company's current and future financial performance and identifying trends in its financial condition and results of operations. Spectrum Brands provides pro forma information to investors to assist in meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going core operations. While management believes these pro forma results provide useful supplemental information, pro forma results are not intended to replace the company's GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
