ScottsMiracle-Gro Announces Third Quarter Results;
Outlines Steps to Improve Profitability and Operating Cash Flow in 2013
Quarterly dividend increased by 8% to $0.325 per share
MARYSVILLE, Ohio (August 9, 2012) – The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG), the world’s largest marketer of branded consumer lawn and garden products, today announced its results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Sales in the quarter were $1.06 billion, the same as a year ago. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $99.4 million, or $1.60 per share. That compares with adjusted income of $126.7 million, or $1.91 per share, for the same period a year ago.
The Company said consumer purchases of its products at its largest retail partners in the U.S. were up 1 percent on a year-to-date basis entering August after declining 5 percent in the third quarter.
“After a strong start to the season, consumer engagement clearly began to decline in May and June,” said Jim Hagedorn, chairman and chief executive officer. “We’re pleased to see strong year-over-year improvement in consumer purchases of mulch and controls, but our fertilizer and growing media categories are flat so far this year and have not delivered the results we expected.
“As we look ahead to fiscal 2013, it has become clear that the pace of near-term category growth is slower than we had expected. While our strategy to become a more consumer-centric business will not change, we are adjusting how we execute that strategy. We will move as quickly as we reasonably can to restore the level of profitability that our business reported just two years ago. In addition to planned price increases, we’re focusing on several other initiatives to improve the gross margin rate and we will reduce expenses in areas that have not delivered a reasonable rate of return. We are confident that an emphasis on gross margin improvement, cost productivity and working capital management will drive improved earnings and cash flow.”
Hagedorn said the Company’s near-term growth assumptions would require less operating cash be deployed for capital expenditures and acquisitions. The near-term bias, he stated, would be to focus over time on more shareholder-friendly actions.
“While we will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities, our near-term focus will be on restoring our current business to an appropriate level of profitability, not on integrating something new,” Hagedorn said.
Separately, the Company announced its Board of Directors has approved an 8 percent increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.325 per share. The fourth quarter dividend is payable September 10 to shareholders of record on August 27.

THIRD QUARTER DETAILS
Sales in the Company’s largest segment, Global Consumer, increased 1 percent from last year to $960.7 million. Sales in the U.S. business increased 6 percent while sales in the International business decreased 17 percent, or 12 percent excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates. Operating income for Global Consumer was $171.7 million, compared with $209.9 million for the same period a year ago, with the decline principally attributed to increased commodity costs and advertising.
Scotts LawnService (SLS) reported a 7 percent increase in revenue to $87.8 million, driven by increased customer counts, which were up 7 percent during the quarter. Operating income for SLS was $22.4 million, the same as a year ago.
For the third quarter, the company-wide adjusted gross margin rate was 34.5 percent, compared with 37.9 percent a year earlier. The decline was primarily due to higher commodity costs, freight associated with expediting shipments in the early weeks of the quarter to replenish strong March consumer demand, costs associated with innovation in the Ortho product line and unfavorable product mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the quarter were $197.5 million, compared with $192.4 million.
Adjusted income from continuing operations was $99.4 million, or $1.60 per share, compared with $126.7 million, or $1.91 per share, for the same period a year ago. Adjusted results exclude charges related to product registration and recall matters, including adjustments to reserves for potential fines and penalties. They also exclude impairment, restructuring and other charges. Reported income from continuing operations was $95.0 million, or $1.53 per share, compared with $111.7 million, or $1.69 per share last year.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $185.0 million in the third quarter, compared with $227.9 million a year ago.

YEAR-TO-DATE DETAILS
Company-wide net sales through the first nine months were $2.45 billion, an increase of 1 percent from a year ago. Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted sales growth by 70 basis points. Sales for Global Consumer were essentially flat at $2.2 billion and operating income was $377.4 million, compared with $453.8 million a year ago. Scotts LawnService revenue increased 6 percent to $161.3 million.
For the nine-month period, company-wide adjusted gross margin rate was 34.9 percent, compared with 37.8 percent in the same period last year. SG&A was $557.5 million, compared with $551.8 million a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first nine months was $338.0 million, versus $420.2 million in the comparable period last year.
Adjusted income from continuing operations for the first nine months – which excludes costs related to the product registration and recall matters as well as impairment, restructuring and other changes – was $160.5 million, or $2.59 per share, compared with $211.4 million, or $3.15 per share, a year earlier. Reported income from continuing operations was $148.3 million, or $2.39 per share, compared with $193.6 million, or $2.89 per share, for the same period last year.

THE SCOTTS MIRACLE-GRO COMPANY
Net Sales and Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes by Segment
(in millions)
(Unaudited)
The Company is divided into the following reportable segments: Global Consumer and Scotts LawnService®. This division of reportable segments is consistent with how the segments report to and are managed by the chief operating decision maker of the Company.
Segment performance is evaluated based on several factors, including income from continuing operations before amortization, product registration and recall costs, impairment, restructuring and other charges, which is not a generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure. Senior management of the Company uses this measure of operating profit to gauge segment performance because we believe this measure is the most indicative of performance trends and the overall earnings potential of each segment.
Corporate & Other consists of the Company’s professional seed business, revenues and expenses associated with the Company’s supply agreements with Israel Chemicals Ltd. and the amortization related to the Roundup® Marketing Agreement, as well as corporate, general and administrative expenses and certain other income/expense items not allocated to the business segments. Corporate & Other assets primarily include deferred financing and debt issuance costs and corporate intangible assets, as well as deferred tax assets.

THE SCOTTS MIRACLE-GRO COMPANY
Footnotes to Preceding Financial Statements
(1) | Basic income per common share amounts are calculated by dividing income from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations and net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. | |||||
(2) | Diluted income per common share amounts are calculated by dividing income from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations and net income by the weighted average number of common shares, plus all potential dilutive securities (common stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance units, restricted stock and restricted stock units) outstanding during the period. | |||||
(3) | On February 28, 2011, the Company completed the sale of a significant majority of the assets of its global professional business (excluding the non-European professional seed business, “Global Pro”). As a result of the then-pending sale, effective in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of Global Pro to assets and liabilities held for sale and included the results of operations of Global Pro in discontinued operations for all periods presented. | |||||
(4) | The Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosure Items includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted income per common share from continuing operations - These measures exclude charges or credits relating to refinancings, impairments, restructurings, product registration and recall matters, discontinued operations and other unusual items such as costs or gains related to discrete projects or transactions that are apart from, and not indicative of, the results of the operations of the business. | |||||
Adjusted EBITDA - This measure is calculated as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as certain other items such as the impact of the cumulative effect of changes in accounting, costs associated with debt refinancing and other non-recurring, non-cash items affecting net income. In addition, non-recurring cash items affecting net income or loss that are incurred between April 3, 2011 and June 30, 2012 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $40 million are also excluded from the determination of adjusted EBITDA. We believe this measure provides additional information for determining our ability to meet debt service requirements. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA herein is intended to be consistent with the calculation of that measure as required by our borrowing arrangements, and used to calculate a leverage ratio (maximum of 3.50 at June 30, 2012) and an interest coverage ratio (minimum of 3.50 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012). The Company was in compliance with the terms of all debt covenants at June 30, 2012. | ||||||
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparison between current results and results in prior operating periods. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are the most indicative of the Company's ongoing earnings capabilities and that disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures therefore provides useful information to investors and other users of its financial statements, such as lenders. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. | ||||||
