Fortune Brands Home & Security Grows Sales and Profit in Q4 and Full Year 2012

Highlights:

  • Q4 2012 net sales increase 8 percent year-over-year to $948 million
  • Q4 2012 EPS $0.11, EPS before charges/gains increases 35 percent to $0.23
  • Company expects full year 2013 net sales to increase at a high-single-digit rate
  • Company expects full year 2013 EPS before charges and gains in range of $1.13 - $1.23

DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 31, 2013--Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced 2012 fourth quarter and full-year results.

Fourth quarter 2012

For the fourth quarter of 2012, net sales were $948 million, an increase of 8 percent over the fourth quarter of 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $0.11, compared to a loss of $0.46 in the prior year. Diluted EPS before charges/gains was $0.23, a 35 percent increase over the prior year.

Operating income was $7.5 million, compared to a loss of $109.4 million in the prior year. Operating income before charges/gains was $61.2 million, up 39 percent over the prior year.

“We grew both sales and profit slightly more than expected this quarter,” said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands Home & Security. “And we again outperformed our market, which was driven by double-digit growth in new housing construction and moderate growth for home repairs and remodeling, despite a continued lag in purchases of large ticket items, such as cabinets and windows.”

For each segment in the fourth quarter 2012, compared to the prior-year quarter:

  • Kitchen & Bath Cabinetry net sales were up 12 percent, with operating income before charges/gains of $12.3 million vs. a loss of $3.1 million. Growth and share gains were driven by product line expansion and overall market improvement, particularly in new construction, with increases in all channels.
  • Plumbing & Accessories net sales were up 15 percent, with increases in all channels. Strong gains continued in U.S. wholesale from new construction and international markets, especially China. New product introductions drove retail channel increases.
  • Advanced Material Windows & Door Systems net sales were up 1 percent, with Door sales increasing 5 percent and Windows declining 2 percent.
  • Security & Storage net sales were down 4 percent. Excluding the impact of a 53rd week in 2011, segment sales were flat, with Security sales increasing 4 percent and Storage sales declining 5 percent.

“We had a strong fourth quarter and full year 2012, doing just what we said we would. Our business teams continue to deliver results that are meeting or exceeding our expectations as we outperform the market for our products and continue to drive profitable growth,” Klein said.

Full year 2012

For the full year 2012, net sales were $3.6 billion, an increase of 8 percent over 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $0.71, compared to a loss per share of $0.23 in the prior year, and diluted EPS before charges/gains was $0.89 vs. $0.60 last year, an increase of 48 percent.

Full-year operating income was $162 million, an increase of $177 million from the prior year, and full-year operating income before charges/gains was $228 million, an increase of 40 percent.

“Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 became even stronger, with $336 million in cash, gross debt of $326 million and nothing outstanding on our $650 million revolving credit facility. Our net debt-to-EBITDA before charges/gains ratio is zero,” said Lee Wyatt, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “We are solidly positioned with several options to drive significant incremental shareholder value.”

Outlook for 2013

For the full year 2013, the Company’s assumption for the growth of the U.S. market for its home products is 6 to 8 percent versus 2012. Based on this planning assumption and other factors, and the Company’s expectation to continue outperforming this market, the Company expects full year 2013 net sales to increase at a high-single-digit rate. The Company expects diluted EPS before charges/gains to be in the range of $1.13 to $1.23. This targeted range compares to 2012 diluted EPS before charges and gains of $0.89, as stated above.

The Company expects free cash flow for 2013 to be at least $200 million, net of capital expenditures of approximately $100 million.

“In 2013, we expect the home products market to improve much like 2012, and I am confident that we should outperform our market in similar form, delivering solid sales and profit growth. We believe our strong brands, compelling product innovation and operational excellence, along with our solid capital structure, position us to continue to outperform now and well into the future,” Klein said.

(a) Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is operating income (loss) derived in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including estimated incremental standalone corporate expenses for 2011 periods prior to the spin-off of the Company from Fortune Brands, Inc. (the "Separation"), and excluding restructuring and other charges, business separation costs, asset impairment charges, income from a contingent acquisition consideration adjustment, and the impact of income and expense from actuarial gains or losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to determine the returns generated by FBHS and to evaluate and identify cost-reduction initiatives. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation to operating income, the most comparable GAAP measure, is included in subsequent tables.
 
(b) Diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income (loss) calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding restructuring and other charges, income from a contingent acquisition consideration adjustment, asset impairment charges, income tax gains pertaining to the favorable resolution of tax audits, and the impact of income and expense from actuarial gains or losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Diluted EPS before charges/gains for the three months ended December 31, 2011 have also been adjusted to reflect an adjusted pro forma effective tax rate of 35%. Diluted EPS before charges/gains for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 have also been adjusted to reflect an adjusted pro forma effective tax rate of 35%, capital structure changes that reflect the borrowing arrangements and debt level of the Company as of October 4, 2011, the 1:1 share distribution resulting from the Separation, estimated incremental standalone corporate expenses for 2011 periods prior to the Separation, and business separation costs. Diluted EPS before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of the Company and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation to diluted EPS, the most closely comparable GAAP measure, is included in subsequent tables.
 
(c) EBITDA before charges/gains is net income (loss) derived in accordance with GAAP including estimated incremental standalone corporate expenses for 2011 periods prior to the Separation and excluding restructuring and other charges, income from a contingent acquisition consideration adjustment, business separation costs, asset impairment charges, the impact of income and expense from actuarial gains or losses associated with our defined benefit plans, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, related party interest expense, net, external interest expense, and income tax provision (benefit). EBITDA before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to assess returns generated by FBHS. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions and repay debt and related interest. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation from net income, the most closely comparable GAAP measure, is included in subsequent tables.

(a) Free cash flow is cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP less net capital expenditures (capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of assets including property, plant and equipment) plus proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Free cash flow does not reflect adjustments for certain non-discretionary cash flows such as mandatory debt repayments. Free cash flow is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that free cash flow provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and related interest, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

(a) For twelve months ended December 31, 2011, corporate expenses include allocations of certain Fortune Brands, Inc. general corporate expenses incurred directly by Fortune Brands, Inc. These allocated expenses include costs associated with legal, finance, treasury, accounting, internal audit and general management services. They also include the components of defined benefit plan expense other than service cost including actuarial gains and losses.
 
(b) Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is operating income (loss) derived in accordance with GAAP including estimated incremental standalone corporate expenses for 2011 periods prior to the Separation and excluding restructuring and other charges, business separation costs, asset impairment charges, income from a contingent acquisition consideration adjustment and the impact of income and expense from actuarial gains or losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to determine the returns generated by FBHS and to evaluate and identify cost-reduction initiatives. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
 
(c) Restructuring charges are costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and include workforce reduction costs; "other charges" represent charges directly related to restructuring initiatives that cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories, trade receivables allowances from exiting product lines and accelerated depreciation resulting from the closure of facilities and gains or losses associated with the sale of closed facilities.
 
(d) Represents gain attributable to reduction of estimated liability for contingent consideration associated with a business acquisition.
 
(e) The Company estimates that it would have incurred $13.8 million of incremental corporate expenses if it had functioned as an independent standalone public company for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.
 
(f) Business separation costs are costs related to non-cash non-recurring costs associated with the modification of share-based compensation awards as a result of the spin-off of FBHS from Fortune Brands, Inc.
 
(g) Represents actuarial losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Actuarial gains or losses in a period represent the difference between actual and actuarially assumed experience, principally related to liability discount rates and plan asset returns, as well as other actuarial assumptions including compensation rates, turnover rates, and health care cost trend rates. The Company recognizes actuarial gains or losses immediately in operating income to the extent they cumulatively exceed a “corridor.” The corridor is equal to the greater of 10% of the fair value of plan assets or 10% of a plan’s projected benefit obligation. Actuarial gains or losses are determined at required remeasurement dates which occur at least annually in the fourth quarter. Our Operating Income Before Charges/Gains reflects our expected rate of return on pension plan assets which in a given period may materially differ from our actual return on plan assets. Our liability discount rates and plan asset returns are based upon difficult to predict fluctuations in global bond and equity markets that are not directly related to the Company’s business. We believe that the exclusion of actuarial gains or losses from Operating Income Before Charges/Gains provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the business from period to period that may be considered in conjunction with our operating income as measured on a GAAP basis. We present this supplemental information because such actuarial gains or losses may create volatility in our operating income that does not necessarily have an immediate corresponding impact on operating cash flow or the actual compensation and benefits provided to our employees. The table below sets forth additional supplemental information on the Company’s historical actual and expected rate of return on plan assets, as well as discount rates used to value its defined benefit obligations:
 
(In millions) Year Ended Year Ended
December 31, 2012 December 31, 2011
% $ % $
Actual return on plan assets 14.5 % $ 63.7 (0.6 )% ($2.7 )
Expected return on plan assets 7.8 % 36.8 8.5 % 41.3
Discount rate at December 31:
Pension benefits 4.9 % 5.8 %
Postretirement benefits 4.6 % 5.3 %

       
 

DILUTED EPS BEFORE CHARGES/GAINS RECONCILIATION

Diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income (loss) calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding restructuring and other charges, income from a contingent acquisition consideration adjustment, asset impairment charges, income tax gains pertaining to the favorable resolution of tax audits, and the impact of income and expense from actuarial gains or losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Diluted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2011 have also been adjusted to reflect an adjusted pro forma effective tax rate of 35%. Diluted EPS before charges/gains for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 have also been adjusted to reflect an adjusted pro forma effective tax rate of 35%, capital structure changes that reflect the borrowing arrangements and debt level of the Company as of October 4, 2011, the 1:1 share distribution resulting from the Separation, estimated incremental standalone corporate expenses for the 2011 periods prior to the Separation, and business separation costs. Diluted EPS before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP.
