ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2008--Spectrum Brands, Inc.
(NYSE: SPC) (the Company) announced today second quarter net sales of
$647.1 million and a net loss of $2.19 per share for the quarter ended
March 30, 2008. Excluding certain items which management believes are
not indicative of the Company's on-going normalized operations, the
Company generated an adjusted net loss per share of $0.14 on a fully
diluted basis, a non-GAAP number. These items, net of tax, include:
- A catch up in depreciation and amortization related to the
re-classification of the Home & Garden segment into continuing
operations of $10.7 million or $0.21 per share;
- A non-cash impairment charge of $8.3 million or $0.16 per
share, for the write-off of certain trade names used in the
Home & Garden business;
- restructuring and related charges of $3.5 million, or $0.07
per share, associated with company-wide cost reduction
initiatives;
- net tax adjustments of $83.0 million, or $1.63 per share, to
reflect an increase in the valuation allowance against net
deferred tax assets; and
- other items netting to a benefit of $0.9 million or $.02 per
share.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company reported a
net loss per fully diluted share of $4.77. Excluding a goodwill
impairment charge of $3.84 per share, refinancing charges of $0.43 per
share, restructuring and related charges of $0.25 per share, $0.05 per
share of transaction costs incurred in connection with the proposed
sale of the Company's Home and Garden business, an add back of $0.04
per share for depreciation and amortization that would have been
recorded if the Home & Garden business had been in continuing
operations, and other non-cash adjustments netting an add back of
$0.06 per share, the second quarter 2007 adjusted loss per fully
diluted share was $0.30.
Led by strong double digit growth in the Company's personal care
and companion pet supply product lines and favorable foreign exchange,
Spectrum Brands' net sales of $647.1 million represented a two percent
increase from the prior year, after excluding the Canadian division of
the Home and Garden business, which the Company sold in November 2007.
Favorable foreign currency contributed $27 million, or 4 percent to
net sales. Partially offsetting the positive trends were lower sales
in consumer batteries and men's electric shaving and grooming in North
America. Additionally, the Home & Garden division saw a later than
normal start to its peak selling season this year, delaying some
expected revenues into the third quarter.
The Company continued to see benefits from its 2007 global
realignment initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement which
the Company believes is a useful indicator of the operating health of
the business and its trajectory, was $66.2 million as compared with
$54.0 million in the second quarter of the prior year, a 23 percent
improvement. For the latest twelve months, adjusted EBITDA is $296.3
million and has increased 26 percent compared to one year ago.
"This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of double digit growth
in adjusted EBITDA. This level of performance reflects the very strong
focus and commitment our team has to drive profitable growth in this
business," said Kent Hussey, Chief Executive Officer. "I'm pleased
with the progress we're making. Despite a sluggish U.S. economy,
continuing tight inventory controls at retailers and rising input
costs, our teams have worked hard to make the necessary changes to
improve the efficiency and profitability of this business."
Gross profit and gross margin for the quarter were $234.6 million
and 36.3 percent, respectively, versus $223.8 million and 35.3 percent
for the same period last year. Within cost of sales, the Company
incurred restructuring and related charges of approximately $200
thousand this quarter related to headcount reductions taken as part of
its 2007 global realignment and $6.7 million in the second quarter of
2007. Also, within cost of sales this quarter was $4.7 million in
depreciation related to the Home & Garden segment that was not present
last year.
The current quarter's operating expenses were $222.9 million as
compared with $420.3 million in operating expenses in the same quarter
last year. Included in this year's operating expenses were $15.8
million of additional depreciation and amortization, $13.2 million for
a non-cash intangibles impairment related to trade names in the Home &
Garden segment and $5.2 million in restructuring and related charges.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, operating expenses included a
non-cash charge of $214 million for a goodwill impairment and $11.2
million in restructuring and related charges.
Spectrum generated second quarter operating income and operating
margin of $11.7 million and 1.8 percent, respectively, versus an
operating loss of $196.5 million in the same period last year. The
primary variance related to the non-cash impairment charges referenced
above.
Reporting Change
In view of current economic conditions and existing uncertainties
in financial markets, the Company's Board of Directors has determined
that it is unlikely at this time that the Company could complete a
sale of its lawn and garden and household insect control business (the
"Home and Garden Business") at a price and upon terms and conditions
that the Company would regard as acceptable. As a result, the Company
has determined not to pursue a sale of the Home and Garden Business at
this time. In addition, in accordance with applicable accounting
principles and in view of the difficulty in predicting the timing or
probability of a sale, the Home and Garden Business will be
reclassified and accounted for as an asset held and used in the
Company's continuing operations and accounted for as part of the
Company's continuing operations beginning in the second quarter of
fiscal 2008. The Company remains committed to exploring possible
strategic options, including divesting certain assets, in order to
sharpen the Company's focus on strategic growth businesses, reduce
outstanding indebtedness and maximize long-term shareholder value.
As a result of the reclassification of our Home and Garden
Business as continuing operations, in accordance with GAAP, we have
revised our financial results for all prior periods in which we
classified our Home and Garden Business as discontinued operations to
present the Home and Garden Business as continuing operations. Our
revised presentation excludes from continuing operations the results
of our Canadian division of our Home and Garden business, which we
sold in November 2007 and remains classified as discontinued
operations for such periods. See attached Tables 4, 5 and 6 that
reflect selected financial data for fiscal 2007 by quarter and the 1st
and 2nd quarters of fiscal 2008 as described above (the "Home and
Garden Reconciliation Spreadsheets").
Second Quarter Segment Results
The Global Batteries and Personal Care segment reported net sales
of $307.6 million compared with $297.2 million reported last year, an
increase of 3.5 percent, primarily as a result of favorable foreign
exchange of $22 million. Global battery sales were down 1.4 percent
compared with the prior year. The primary driver of this decline was
lower North American battery sales, which declined 15.9 percent as
compared with the prior year, due to the sluggish US economy, lower
category consumption and inventory reductions among certain key
retailers. European battery sales increased 3.3 percent from the prior
year benefiting from favorable foreign exchange, offset by slower
sales in Western Europe due to the Company's planned exit from
unprofitable or marginally profitable private label businesses. Latin
American battery sales generated year over year growth of 7.3 percent.
Global sales of Remington branded products increased 18.1 percent
during the quarter with positive sales growth in each major geographic
region and double digit increases in hair care products. Increased
distribution and market share gains in Europe and Latin America
generated double digit sales growth in those areas. North America
experienced single digit growth as a result of lower sales in
batteries and men's electric shaving and grooming products.
Segment profitability for Global Batteries & Personal Care was
$24.7 million for the quarter, up 11.8 percent over last year's $22.1
million. The profit improvement was primarily due to the cost savings
generated from 2007's global realignment initiatives as well as a 40
basis point improvement in gross margin related to cost savings
generated from more efficient operation of the Company's manufacturing
facilities.
Global Pet Supplies net sales were $148.4 million, a 4.1 percent
increase compared with the prior year. Companion animal product net
sales grew 10.3 percent, while global aquatics net sales increased 1.5
percent from the prior year. North American aquatic sales declined 8
percent, continuing the trend experienced over the past year. Sales in
Europe and the Pacific Rim were up 19.5 percent and 18.7 percent,
respectively, as a result of new product rollouts, new marketing
programs and favorable currency.
Segment profitability for Global Pet Supplies for the quarter was
$15.3 million compared to $16.4 million last year, down 6.7 percent
due to increased input costs and foreign exchange effects. The Company
has implemented price increases, which should benefit results in the
second half of fiscal 2008.
Spectrum's Home & Garden segment's net sales from continuing
operations were $191.1 million, a 1.9 percent decline for the quarter.
The Company experienced stringent inventory controls by certain
retailers and a potential projected shift of some revenues to the
third quarter due to a late breaking lawn and garden season. Weather
conditions improved in April, leading to a double digit point of sale
improvement over last year, improving the outlook for Home & Garden
for the balance of fiscal 2008.
Due to the cumulative depreciation and amortization catch-up of
$17.1 million plus normal depreciation and amortization of $3.4
million recorded this quarter which were not included in last year's
results, the Home & Garden segment generated a loss of $500 thousand
as compared with profits of $14.8 million last year.
Corporate expenses were $9.2 million for the quarter as compared
with $17.9 million last year. 2007 corporate expenses included a
non-recurring $4 million charge related to the write-off in the second
quarter of 2007 of professional fees incurred in connection with the
attempt to sell the Home & Garden business. The remainder of the
variance is due to lower executive compensation expense and other
corporate overhead expense reductions.
Interest expense was $58.3 million compared to $85.2 million in
the same period last year. 2007 interest expense included a prepayment
premium of $11.6 million associated with the refinancing of the
Company's senior credit facility and the write-off of debt issuance
costs of $24.6 million, accounting for the variance from this
quarter's interest expense.
Tax expense recorded during the quarter was $66.3 million versus a
tax benefit of $45.9 million in the same period last year. Included in
this is a $51.9 million expense related to increasing the Company's
valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset of its Home &
Garden segment necessitated as a result of the reclassification of the
segment from discontinued operations to continuing operations. In
addition, similar to the first quarter of 2008, the Company recorded
an expense in the quarter to increase its valuation allowance against
its U.S. federal net deferred tax asset of its remaining business
segments to reserve for the possibility that the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. As a result, fiscal 2008 operating losses in the
U.S. no longer create U.S. tax benefits. This accounting treatment is
not expected to have any impact on the Company's ability to utilize
net operating losses if and when the Company recognizes future taxable
income within the U.S. The result of not recording a tax benefit in
the U.S. combined with recording a tax provision on taxable income
generated by foreign subsidiaries results in an effective tax rate
significantly higher than that experienced in prior years. This
increased tax rate has no cash impact on the Company.
Webcast Information
Spectrum Brands will hold a conference call at 8:30 a.m. EDT on
May 6 to further discuss its second quarter results. The call will be
accessible via webcast through the Company's website,
www.spectrumbrands.com, and will be archived online until May 20.
Non-GAAP Measurements
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 3, "Reconciliation of Diluted Earnings
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 Table 6, "GAAP Net Loss to
Adjusted EBITDA," for a reconciliation of net income to adjusted
EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and the second quarter of
fiscal 2007 and for the last twelve months as of the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 2008 and the second quarter of fiscal 2007. 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. In addition, Spectrum Brands'
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. 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 adjusted diluted
earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA 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.

(a) For the three months ended March 30, 2008, reflects $3.5

$1.0 million for the integration of United and Tetra and $2.5 million
for the Global restructuring announced January 10, 2007.
(b) For the three months ended April 1, 2007, reflects $12.5
million, net of tax, of restructuring and related charges as follows:
(i) $8.6 million for the integration of United and Tetra; (ii) $2.6
million for a series of actions in Europe and Latin America to reduce
operating costs and rationalize operating structure; (iii) $1.3

(c) For the six months ended March 30, 2008, reflects $6.8
million, net of tax, of restructuring and related charges as follows:
$2.0 million for the integration of United and Tetra and $4.8 million

(d) For the six months ended April 1, 2007, reflects $18.6
million, net of tax, of restructuring and related charges as follows:
(i) $12.5 million for the integration of United and Tetra; (ii) $4.8
million for a series of actions in Europe and Latin America to reduce

million for the Global restructuring announced January 10, 2007.
(e) For the three and six months ended March 30, 2008, reflects an
impairment charge of $8.3 million, net of tax, for the write-off of
trade names of our Home & Garden business as a result of an impairment
evaluation in accordance with SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets."
(f) For the three and six months ended April 1, 2007, reflects an
impairment charge of $191.2 million, net of tax, for the write-off of
goodwill of our North America batteries and personal care business
(which is included in our Global Batteries and Personal care business
segment) as a result of an impairment evaluation in accordance with
SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
(g) Effective December 31, 2007, the Company discontinued the
active marketing of the Home and Garden business for sale and,
accordingly, reclassified the Home and Garden business, which had been
designated as a discontinued operation since October 1, 2006, as an
asset held and used in continuing operations. Going forward the
Company will account for the Home and Garden business as continuing
operations. Inasmuch as depreciation and amortization expense is not
recorded for assets designated as discontinued operations, this
adjustment reflects the impact of depreciation and amortization
expense as if the Home and Garden business was designated as a
continuing operation for all periods presented.
(h) For the three and six months ended March 30, 2008 general and
administrative expenses included $1.0 million, net of tax, of

ended April 1, 2007 general and administrative expenses include $2.3
million, net of tax, representing professional fees incurred in
connection with the proposed sale of the Company's Home & Garden
business.
(i) For the three and six months ended April 1, 2007 reflects
$21.1 million, net of tax, of charges associated with a refinancing of
the Company's debt as follows: (i) $14.3 million write-off of deferred
financing fees associated with the then existing Senior term debt and
the $350 8 1/2% Senior subordinated notes; (ii) $6.8 million
pre-payment penalty associated with the then existing Senior term
debt.
(j) For the three months ended April 1, 2007, reflects income from
discontinued operations, net of tax of $0.6 million of the Company's
Canadian Home & Garden business, discontinued effective October 1,
2006. For the six months ended March 30, 2008 reflects the loss on
discontinued operations, net of tax of $1.2 million of the Company's
Canadian Home & Garden business sold on November 1, 2007. Such loss
includes a loss on disposal of $1.1 million, net of tax benefit. For
the six months ended April 1, 2007 reflects loss on discontinued
operations, net of tax of $0.7 million of the Company's Canadian Home
& Garden business, discontinued effective October 1, 2006.
(k) For the three and six months ended March 30, 2008, reflects

Note: Amounts calculated prior to rounding
(a) adjustment reflects restricted stock amortization which is
associated with and included in restructuring and related charges. As
such amounts are also included in Table 2 to the Company's earning
release for the respective quarter, "Supplemental Cash Flow Data -
Depreciation and amortization excluding amortization of debt issuance
costs," the adjustment negates the impact of reflecting this expense
twice.
(b) the reconciliation of last twelve months (LTM) adjusted EBITDA as
of the end of the 2nd quarter of Fiscal 2007 to the LTM adjusted
EBITDA as of the end of 2nd quarter of Fiscal 2008 is as follows:
