Beam Reports Second Quarter Results

  • Beam Continues Market Outperformance, Driven by Innovations and Bourbon Brands
  • Company Delivers Solid Double-Digit Growth in Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations
  • Beam Raises Full-Year Earnings Growth Target to Low-Double-Digit Rate

DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 2, 2012--Beam Inc. (NYSE: BEAM), a leading global premium spirits company, today reported strong results for the second quarter of 2012 and increased its earnings target range for the full year.

Net sales increased 4% and were up 5% on a comparable basis despite a challenging comparison to results in the year-ago quarter. Strong growth in North America and demand for the company’s Bourbon brands and innovations across categories helped drive the sales increase.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.63, up 58% on a reported basis (GAAP). Excluding charges/gains, diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.58, up 16%, benefiting from volume growth, targeted price increases, and below-the-line items such as lower interest expense.

For the first half of 2012, net sales increased 8% on a comparable basis, with one-third of the increase driven by sales of new product innovations. On a reported basis, net sales grew 3% reflecting the adverse impact on comparisons of the initial sale of inventory in the first quarter of 2011 for the start-up of the company’s Australia distribution agreement. Diluted EPS before charges/gains from continuing operations is up 23% year to date, and is up 42% on a reported basis.


Growth Strategy Delivering Results Ahead of Expectations

“Beam continued its momentum with quarterly results that exceeded our expectations, even as we lapped a very strong year-ago quarter that was boosted by our 2011 new product launches,” said Matt Shattock, president and chief executive officer of Beam. “Our strong top-line results were driven by our Power Brands and Rising Stars – led by Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark and Skinnygirl – and record quarterly sales from new products that improved our product mix. Sales in North America were particularly strong, while the top line in our EMEA and APSA regions in the quarter was adversely impacted by the timing of sales. Beam’s profits grew faster than sales, and earnings per share grew at a solid double-digit rate.

“As we execute our successful growth strategy, we’re encouraged by several dynamics that benefited Beam in the quarter, including the strong sell-in for our innovations, impactful brand activation in markets around the world, and strong worldwide demand for Bourbon. The Pinnacle Vodka acquisition is also off to a good start.”

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter and Year to Date:

  • Income from continuing operations was $101.3 million for the second quarter, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $62.4 million, or $0.40 per share, for the second quarter of 2011.
    • For the first half, income from continuing operations was $179.7 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, up 42% from $0.79 in 2011.
  • Excluding charges and gains, diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.58 for the second quarter, up 16% from $0.50 in the year-ago quarter.
    • Diluted EPS before charges/gains was $1.11 for the first half, up 23% from $0.90.
  • Reported net sales for the second quarter were $595.5 million (excluding excise taxes), up 4%.
    • Reported net sales increased 3% for the first half of 2012.
  • On a comparable basis, which adjusts for foreign exchange and acquisitions/divestitures, net sales were up 5% for the second quarter and up 8% for the first half.
    • Comparable net sales by region: North America +8% in Q2 and +10% YTD; Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA) +1% in Q2 and +5% YTD; Asia Pacific/South America (APSA) down 1% in Q2 and +7% YTD.
  • Operating income for the second quarter was $125.7 million, up 5%.
    • Operating income for the first half increased 11%.
  • Operating income before charges/gains for the quarter was $151.6 million, up 9%.
    • For the first half of 2012, operating income before charges/gains increased 13%.
  • Return on invested capital before charges/gains (rolling 12 months) was 7% and was 23% excluding intangibles.

Raising 2012 Earnings Target While Accelerating Investment in Long-Term Growth

“Beam enters the back half of 2012 with confidence,” Shattock continued. “While we’ll face some tough comparisons, we expect the underlying strength of our core business, augmented by our acquisitions, will deliver continued marketplace outperformance. As a result, we’re raising our 2012 earnings target. We’re now targeting diluted earnings per share before charges/gains to grow at a low-double-digit rate, up from our previous target range of high-single digits.

“In addition, consistent with our focus on high-return organic growth opportunities, we intend to make stepped up investments in two key areas to fuel our momentum and further enhance our prospects for long-term profitable growth: First, we will upweight marketing investment in the second half behind our most exciting brands and innovations; And second, we are accelerating investment to lay down more aged spirits to support future worldwide demand for our Bourbon, Scotch and Cognac brands. These investments, which include expanding our distillation and warehouse capacity, come on top of our sustained investment in new-product innovation, including our new Global Innovation Center in Kentucky which we’ll open in the fourth quarter.

“Our confidence in boosting our level of investment is reinforced by the effectiveness of our growth strategy and the resilience of our global spirits market. Given the strength we’ve seen in the first half, we now expect our market will grow value in 2012 slightly above our previous estimate of 3%. Our expectation reflects uncertainty in international economies that is being offset by strength in our heartland U.S. spirits market.

“Looking to the balance of the year, we expect that EPS growth will moderate in the second half versus the first half reflecting our accelerated investments, and as we’ve previously indicated, third-quarter EPS growth will also be tempered by an unfavorable comparison due to replenishment of customer inventories for Skinnygirl in the prior-year quarter. At the same time, we now expect our 2012 acquisitions to be a few cents accretive to this year’s earnings per share, rather than neutral,” Shattock said.

The company also noted that it expects the deployment of free cash to barrel more aged spirits will result in an earnings-to-free-cash-conversion rate for 2012 of approximately 80% versus its long-term target in the 90% range.

Beam Inc.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
 

Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this release provide investors with important perspectives into the Company’s ongoing business performance by excluding certain items, referred to as “charges / gains,” that management believes are not indicative of the Company's underlying results for purposes of analyzing the Company's performance on a year-over-year basis. The Company’s definition of charges / gains includes restructuring charges, other charges related to restructuring initiatives that cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP, acquisition and integration related costs, dividend distribution gains from the wind down of our former Maxxium investment, costs associated with the sale of the Company's golf business and spin-off of the Company's home and security business (the "Separation"), the one-time sales and margin impact of transitioning to our long-term distribution agreement in Australia, tax indemnification payments received from the seller of a business and other unusual income tax matters. In addition, the 2011 period includes adjustments to reflect Beam as a standalone company at January 1, 2011, including adjustments to interest expense (reflecting the debt reduction related to the Separation at January 1, 2011), an estimated standalone company effective tax rate and an estimated standalone company corporate cost structure, as described in more detail in the Company's fourth quarter 2011 earnings release.

 

Non-GAAP measures included in this release are identified as “before charges / gains,” “comparable,” “adjusted” and “constant currency.” The Company does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures are included on the following pages.

(a) Adjustment to eliminate restructuring and other charges (and credits) primarily related to facility consolidations, supply chain and distribution and other organizational streamlining initiatives.
 
(b) Adjustment related to the acquisition and integration of the Pinnacle and Calico Jack assets ("Pinnacle"), primarily consisting of transaction-related fees (investment bank, professional advisory, consulting and other transaction and integration-related fees) of $4.7 million and contract termination fees of $6.6 million, which the Company incurred to align the distribution of the acquired brands with the Company's existing distribution structure. Contract termination fees are primarily based on actual settlement agreements, but where a settlement agreement has not been reached the Company recorded an estimated liability.
 
(c) Adjustment to eliminate external costs directly related to implementing the Separation in 2011. The separation costs in the second quarter of 2012 include a $15.1 million pension settlement charge associated with a required $29 million lump sum distribution paid to former Fortune Brands executives in July 2012. The settlement charge primarily consists of the recognition of pension losses previously deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and the $29 million distribution was the amount of the executives' unfunded pension benefit. The pension settlement charge was partially offset by reversal of Separation-related reserves that were determined to be no longer necessary.
 
(d) Nontaxable reimbursement received from seller of a business for resolution of certain tax matters for years prior to our ownership.
 
(e) The adjustment in the 2012 period is to eliminate income tax matters related to the resolution of foreign tax audit examinations. The adjustment in the 2011 period is the amount required to adjust income tax expense to Beam's estimated effective tax rate as a standalone Spirits business.
 
(f)

Adjustments to reflect estimated expenses as a standalone Spirits business, including: (1) $10.2 million operating expense adjustment to reflect a lower corporate cost structure, and (2) $1.9 million interest expense adjustment to assume the Separation-related debt reduction had been completed as of January 1, 2011. The Company estimated its lower corporate cost structure based on analysis and projections of costs expected to be incurred by the Company had the Separation occurred January 1, 2011.

(a) Adjustment to eliminate restructuring and other charges (and credits) primarily related to facility consolidations, supply chain and distribution and other organizational streamlining initiatives.
 
(b)

Adjustment related to the acquisition and integration of Pinnacle and Cooley as well as 2012 tax on earnings distributed within certain of Beam's foreign tax jurisdictions incurred in connection with funding a portion of the capital requirement for the Cooley acquisition. Acquisition related charges primarily include transaction-related expenses of $5.6 million and contract termination expenses of $9.5 million.

 
(c) Adjustment to eliminate external costs directly related to implementing the Separation in 2011. The 2012 period includes a $15.1 million pension settlement charge related to former Fortune Brands executives as further described in the explanation of adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2012 on the preceding page.
 
(d) Adjustment to eliminate a gain related to a dividend distribution received in connection with the wind down of our former Maxxium investment.
 
(e) Nontaxable reimbursement received from seller of a business for resolution of certain tax matters for years prior to our ownership.
 
(f) The adjustment in the 2012 period is to eliminate income tax matters related to the resolution of foreign tax audit examinations. The adjustment in the 2011 period is the combined amount required to eliminate income tax matters related to the resolution of foreign tax audit examinations and to adjust income tax expense to Beam's estimated effective tax rate as a standalone Spirits business.
 
(g) Adjustment to eliminate the one-time sales and margin impact associated with transition to a new long-term distribution agreement in Australia in 2011.
 
(h) Adjustments to reflect estimated expenses as a standalone Spirits business, including: (1) $24.6 million operating expense adjustment to reflect a lower corporate cost structure, and (2) $2.0 million interest expense adjustment to assume the Separation-related debt reduction had been completed as of January 1, 2011. See the preceding page for additional information related to estimated standalone costs.

Comparable net sales growth rate represents the percentage increase or decrease in reported net sales in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for certain items. The Company believes Comparable Net Sales Growth is useful in evaluating the Company's sales growth on a year-over-year basis exclusive of items that are not indicative of the brands' performance such as foreign exchange impacts, acquisitions/divestitures, the one-time impact on net sales of transitioning to the new Australia distribution agreement as well as the related impact on margin structure.

Reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited) (a)

June 30, 2012
GAAP debt / operating cash flow 5.3
Impact of using net debt rather than GAAP total debt (a) (0.2 )
Impact of using adjusted EBITDA rather than GAAP operating cash flow (1.5 )
Net debt / EBITDA before charges/gains 3.6  
 

(a) Net debt equals total debt less cash as of June 30, 2012. GAAP operating cash flow and EBITDA are based on twelve-month period ended June 30, 2012. GAAP operating cash flow includes discontinued operations. See above for the Company's definition of EBITDA before charges/gains.

 

Reconciliation of Full Year 2012 Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations Growth Target to GAAP Target

For the full year 2012, the Company is targeting low-double-digit growth in diluted EPS from continuing operations before charges/gains as compared to its full year 2011 adjusted EPS from continuing operations ($2.12). Given the nature of special charges/gains, the Company cannot predict such items and, therefore, the Company's 2012 targeted diluted EPS from continuing operations used to determine the year-over-year growth rate in diluted EPS excludes any such items.

 

Comparing targeted 2012 diluted EPS from continuing operations before charges/gains to the Company's 2011 GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations ($0.85 per share) results in a year-over-year growth rate in excess of 100% due to the significant number of Separation-related charges included in GAAP 2011 income from continuing operations. For further information related to 2011 adjusted EPS from continuing operations, which includes adjustments for restructuring and other charges / gains as well as adjustments to reflect Beam's cost structure as a standalone spirits company, see the Company's fourth quarter 2011 earnings release.

 

Reconciliation of Full Year 2012 Earnings-to-Free-Cash-Flow Conversion Rate Target

Adjusted Earnings to Free Cash Flow Conversion Rate is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is cash from operations less net capital expenditures plus operating cash outflows related to discontinued operations. Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations is adjusted for "charges/gains" (as previously defined). This is a non-GAAP measure. For the full year 2012, the Company expects an Adjusted Earnings to Free Cash Flow Conversion Rate of approximately 80%. However, given uncertainty with respect to potential nonrecurring items that may impact earnings and/or free cash flow, the Company cannot estimate a full-year GAAP Earnings to Free Cash Flow Conversion Rate; therefore, a GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation is not included.
