Beam Reports 2012 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

  • Power Brands and Rising Stars Lead Continued Market Outperformance in Fourth Quarter and Full Year
  • Earnings Growth Exceeds 2012 Target
  • Targeting High-Single-Digit Growth in EPS Before Charges/Gains in 2013

DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 1, 2013--Beam Inc. (NYSE: BEAM), a leading global premium spirits company, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012.

For the full year 2012, reported net sales increased 7% to a record $2.5 billion. Sales for the year were up 6% on a comparable basis, significantly outperforming the company’s global market. Growth of the company’s premium global Power Brands and broad-based growth across geographies fueled the full-year comparable sales performance. New product innovations, higher pricing in select categories, and trading up by consumers contributed to favorable price/mix and margin enhancement. On a reported basis (GAAP), full-year diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $2.48 versus $0.85 in 2011. Full-year diluted EPS before charges/gains was $2.40, up 13%, exceeding the company’s 2012 target for low-double-digit growth and ahead of the company’s long-term target of high-single-digit growth. Reported earnings comparisons largely reflect the impact of costs in 2011 associated with the separation of Fortune Brands’ businesses.

For the fourth quarter, reported net sales increased 11% and net sales were up 5% on a comparable basis. Comparable sales growth reflected strong results in the core markets of the United States, Australia and Germany. Diluted EPS before charges/gains for the quarter was $0.67, down 3%, reflecting the company’s previously projected 20% increase in brand-building investment. Diluted EPS from continuing operations for the quarter was up 36% on a reported basis.


Bourbon, Premium Innovations and Pricing Benefit Q4 Results

“We closed the year with another strong sales quarter as we continued to outperform our market,” said Matt Shattock, president and chief executive officer of Beam. “We exceeded our expectations with better-than-anticipated global sales of Bourbon and higher-than-expected accretion from the Pinnacle acquisition. We also benefited from premium innovations across categories that improved product mix, as well as higher pricing in select categories. As we called out three months ago, Q4 EPS before charges/gains was modestly lower due to our substantial increase in brand investment in the quarter to support long-term growth.”

Excellent Results in First Full Year as Beam

“Beam continued to deliver excellent results in its first full year as a focused pure-play spirits company,” Shattock continued. “We created value through the long-term growth algorithm we outlined a year ago: growing sales faster than our market, operating income faster than sales, and EPS faster still. In 2012, we exceeded our expectations at both the top and bottom lines as we increased comparable sales at roughly twice the rate of our global market, and grew EPS before charges/gains ahead of our target for the year. Full-year sales growth was balanced across our three regional segments, fueled by double-digit global growth for our Power Brands and Rising Stars, and we improved margins with premium innovations and higher pricing.

“We are particularly pleased that we outperformed in 2012 even as we increased investment in the competitive position and long-term growth of our business. These investments included a double-digit increase in brand-building investment, as well as higher capital expenditures to produce more aged spirits to meet future demand. In 2012, we further strengthened our core equities with impactful brand communication on television and in digital media; we accelerated our growth with innovative new products while also opening our new Global Innovation Center; we continued to strengthen our premium portfolio by adding a Power Brand in vodka and entering Irish Whiskey; and we enhanced our routes to market across fast-growing economies like China as well as in developed markets such as Japan.

“Beam generated higher-than-expected free cash flow of $337 million, and we ended the year with a net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.8 times, better than we had targeted. We’re also pleased that our 2012 acquisitions were five cents per share accretive to our full year results,” Shattock said. “We believe our investments and stronger balance sheet enhance Beam’s prospects to deliver sustainable, profitable long-term growth.”

  • Income from continuing operations was $398.2 million, or $2.48 per diluted share, versus $0.85 per diluted share in 2011.

Establishing 2013 Earnings Growth Target

The company announced that it is targeting to deliver high-single-digit growth in diluted earnings per share before charges/gains for 2013 against its 2012 base of $2.40 per share.

“We enter 2013 with an assumption that our global spirits market will grow value approximately 3%, consistent with what we saw in 2012,” Shattock said. “We’ll face headwinds including higher raw materials costs and challenging comparisons in India as we reposition our business there, and we’re not currently assuming material new pricing in 2013. At the same time, we anticipate benefiting from several favorable dynamics: the strength of the bourbon category, our innovations and brand-building initiatives, strong growth in emerging markets, our efficiency and effectiveness agenda, and an additional five cents per share of accretion from our 2012 acquisitions. Incorporating these factors, we’re targeting for 2013 to outperform our market at the top line and deliver growth in diluted EPS before charges/gains at a high-single-digit rate. With regard to phasing, we will face our most challenging comparison of the year in the first quarter as we cycle against new-product launches and route-to-market changes that helped drive comparable sales up 13% in Q1 of 2012.

“We believe that Beam is well positioned to deliver sustainable, profitable long-term growth as we continue to invest in fast-growing categories, fast-growing new products, and fast-growing markets. We feel good about our prospects for continued outperformance in 2013.”

The company expects to generate free cash flow for 2013 in the range of $300-350 million, which incorporates continued investment to increase distillation capacity and produce more aged spirits to support long-term growth.

“While we have sustained investments in long-term value creation, we’ve also continued our track record of delivering immediate value to shareholders with the 10% increase in our dividend we announced recently,” Shattock concluded.

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 asset impairment charges, 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 (together, 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 an acquired business and unusual tax matters that management does not consider indicative of ongoing operations. Charges/gains excluded from GAAP results also include other items which management believes are not indicative of the Company's underlying operating performance for purposes of evaluating past and future performance; such items are excluded from GAAP results to improve comparability between periods. 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.

 

Additional non-GAAP measures included in this release are identified as “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 non-GAAP measures to the most closely comparable GAAP measures, together with a further explanation as to why management believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information, are included on the following pages.

(a)

The 2012 restructuring credit of $0.5 million represents the reversal of restructuring accruals that were determined to be no longer required, while the $2 million of restructuring charges in 2011 relates to organizational streamlining projects.  In 2012, other SG&A charges include $3.6 million of legal, forensic accounting and other fees related to our internal investigation with respect to our India operations.  Other cost of goods sold for 2012 includes a $0.5 million gain on the sale of assets in connection with our 2011 project to centralize bottling operations in Kentucky.  In 2011, the cost of goods sold adjustment includes $4.5 million of charges primarily associated with the streamlining of our bottling operations in Kentucky and $2.6 million of charges related to the impact of certain non-income tax matters.  In 2011, the SG&A expense adjustment includes $3.8 million of credits related to certain non-income tax related matters, partially offset by $1.9 million of organizational streamlining charges.

 
(b) The 2012 adjustments relate to the acquisition and integration of the Pinnacle and Calico Jack assets ("Pinnacle") and Cooley business, consisting primarily of expenses incurred in connection with integrating these businesses into the Company's existing operational structure (e.g., distributor termination fees, accelerated depreciation, employee retention, and other organizational streamlining expenses).
 
(c)

The adjustments in 2012 and 2011 relate to the non-cash impairment of tradenames in Spain.

 
(d) The income tax adjustments in the 2012 period primarily related to a $22 million foreign tax credit related to the repatriation of foreign earnings and a $9 million net benefit related to the resolution of U.S. and foreign tax audit examinations for certain years. The adjustment in the 2011 period is to eliminate income tax related matters (related to resolution of routine foreign and US income tax audit examinations) and to adjust income tax expense to Beam's estimated effective tax rate as a standalone Spirits business.
 
(e)

Adjustment relates to the reversal of Separation-related accruals that were determined to be no longer required.

 
(f) Adjustment to the Company's interest expense to assume that the Separation-related debt extinguishments had occurred on January 1, 2011.
 
(g)

Adjustment to eliminate loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the Separation.

 
(h) Adjustment to eliminate a gain related to a dividend distribution received in connection with the wind down of our former Maxxium investment.

(a)

Restructuring charges of $1 million and $7.7 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, primarily relate to facility consolidations, supply chain and distribution and other organizational streamlining activities.  In 2012, other SG&A charges primarily include $3.6 million of charges associated with our internal investigation with respect to our India operations.  In 2011, the other charges include adjustments primarily related to facility consolidations, supply chain and distribution and other organizational streamlining initiatives.

 
(b) The 2012 adjustments relate 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. The 2012 acquisition related adjustments impacting SG&A expense consist of: transaction-related expenses of $5 million, contract termination expenses of $10 million and integration related expenses of $2 million. In addition, acquisition related adjustments include amounts charged to costs of goods sold and restructuring charges that primarily relate to accelerated depreciation and employee retention. The 2011 adjustment relates to acquisition related contingent consideration accrued in September 2011.
 
(c) The adjustment in 2012 primarily relates to 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, partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities for estimated costs to complete the Separation. The adjustment in the 2011 period is to eliminate nonrecurring business separation costs incurred to implement the Separation, principally transaction and professional advisory fees, severance and other employee related costs and certain other costs incurred in connection with the Separation.
 
(d)

The adjustments in 2012 and 2011 relate to the non-cash impairment of tradenames in Spain.

 
(e) Adjustment to eliminate a gain related to a dividend distribution received in connection with the wind down of our former Maxxium investment.
 
(f) Nontaxable reimbursement received from seller of an acquired business for resolution of certain tax matters for years prior to our ownership.
 
(g)

In 2012, the income tax adjustments primarily include a $22 million foreign tax credit related to the repatriation of foreign earnings, a $17 million net benefit arising from the resolution of certain foreign and US federal and state tax return matters, and $6 million of expense related to our annual reconciliation of the 2011 income tax filing to the 2011 provision for income taxes. The adjustment in the 2011 period is the combined amount required to eliminate income tax matters related to the resolution of foreign and US income tax audit examinations and to adjust income tax expense to Beam's estimated effective tax rate as a standalone Spirits business.

 
(h)

Adjustment to eliminate the one-time net sales and related cost of goods sold impact associated with transition to a new long-term distribution agreement in Australia in 2011.

 
(i) Adjustments to reflect estimated expenses as a standalone Spirits business, including: (1) $36.0 million operating expense adjustment to reflect a lower corporate cost structure, and (2) $2.5 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 at January 1, 2011.
 
(j)

Adjustment to eliminate loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the Separation.

(a) Free cash flow is defined as GAAP cash flow from operations less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment additions (net of disposition proceeds), adjusted for operating cash flow related to discontinued operations. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for dividends, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long term value creation. Management uses free cash flow to assess business performance and overall liquidity.
 
(b) Free cash flow for the 2011 periods is not intended to be a measure of Beam Inc. "adjusted pro forma free cash flow" that would reflect the free cash flow generated by Beam as if it were a standalone company for the periods presented.

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. See the page entitled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" for additional information related to the use of Non-GAAP measures.

Impact of using net debt rather than GAAP total debt (a) (1.0 )
Impact of using adjusted EBITDA rather than GAAP operating cash flow (2.8 )
Net debt / EBITDA before charges/gains 2.8  
(a) Net debt equals total debt less cash as of December 31, 2012. GAAP operating cash flow and EBITDA before charges /gains are based on the year ended December 31, 2012. GAAP operating cash flow includes discontinued operations. See the Reconciliation of Income from Continuing Operations to EBITDA (above) for the Company's definition of EBITDA before charges/gains.
 
 

Reconciliation of Full Year 2013 Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations Growth Target to GAAP Target

For the full year 2013, the Company is targeting high-single-digit growth in diluted EPS from continuing operations before charges/gains as compared to its full year 2012 diluted EPS from continuing operations before charges/gains ($2.40). Given the nature of special charges/gains, the Company cannot predict such items and, therefore, the Company's 2013 targeted diluted EPS from continuing operations used to determine the year-over-year growth rate in diluted EPS excludes any such items.

 

Comparing targeted 2013 diluted EPS from continuing operations before charges/gains to the Company's 2012 GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations ($2.48) results in mid-single-digit growth in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. The lower growth rate, as compared to year-over-year growth on a before charges/gains basis, is attributable to the 2012 charges/gains described above.

 

Full Year 2013 Free-Cash-Flow Target

For the full year 2013, the Company is targeting free cash flow in the range of $300 million to $350 million. Free cash flow is defined as GAAP cash flow from operations less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment additions (net of disposition proceeds), adjusted for operating cash flow related to discontinued operations.

 

Management believes that the measure of free cash flow provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt, pay dividends, and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
