Brunswick Reports First Quarter Results
Solid Revenue Growth and Improved Operating and Net Earnings
2013 Guidance: EPS from Continuing Operations, as Adjusted, Increased to $2.30 to $2.50
LAKE FOREST, Ill., April 25, 2013 -- Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) today reported results for the first quarter of 2013:
• | Net sales increased four percent versus first quarter 2012. |
• | Gross margin was 150 basis points higher versus prior year. |
• | Adjusted operating earnings increased 26 percent from first quarter 2012. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings up 19 percent. |
• | Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations, as adjusted, of $0.76; a $0.24 increase versus the same period of 2012. On a GAAP basis, $0.59 per diluted share, an $0.08 increase from prior year. |
“Our first quarter results reflected solid top-line growth combined with excellent improvements in operating and net earnings,” said Brunswick Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dustan E. McCoy. “Revenue growth in the quarter was led by U.S. outboard marine products, marine parts and accessories and fitness equipment, partially offset by declines in fiberglass sterndrive/inboard products and in our bowling businesses.
“Our first quarter gross margin of 26.3 percent reflected an increase of 150 basis points from the prior year, with the majority of the increase coming from the Marine Engine segment. Operating expenses increased by 2 percent, due to higher research and development and SG&A expenses
primarily associated with company-wide investments in growth initiatives, partially offset by a gain on the sale of real estate. Lower net interest expense and a reduced effective tax rate (excluding the impact of restructuring charges and special tax items) during the quarter contributed to our higher diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted,” McCoy said.
On Jan. 3, 2013, the Company announced its intention to exit its Hatteras and CABO boat businesses. As a result, these businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this release and all figures reflect continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the supplemental information sections of the consolidated financial statements accompanying this release.
First Quarter Results
For the first quarter of 2013, the Company reported net sales of $995.3 million, up from $959.6 million a year earlier. For the quarter, the Company reported operating earnings of $89.9 million, which included $5.6 million of restructuring, exit and impairment charges. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company had operating earnings of $75.3 million, which included $0.2 million of restructuring, exit and impairment charges.
For the first quarter of 2013, Brunswick reported net earnings from continuing operations of $54.9 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared with net earnings from continuing operations of $47.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012. The diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2013 included $0.05 per diluted share of restructuring, exit and impairment charges and a $0.12 per diluted share charge from special tax items. The diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2012 included a $0.01 per diluted share charge from special tax items.
Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash and marketable securities totaled $305.2 million at the end of the first quarter, down $123.5 million from year-end 2012 levels. This decrease primarily reflects net cash used for operating activities, including discontinued operations, of $108.2 million. Net cash used for operating activities was affected by changes in working capital during the quarter. These changes in working capital were largely the result of increases in accounts and notes receivable
and inventory to support the seasonal requirements of our marine customers, and decreases in accrued expenses, partially offset by increases in accounts payable.
Net debt (defined as total debt, less cash and marketable securities) at the end of the first quarter was $264.5 million, an increase of $121.4 million from year-end 2012 levels. The increase in net debt primarily reflects the seasonal decrease in total cash and marketable securities.
Marine Engine Segment
The Marine Engine segment, consisting of the Mercury Marine Group, including the marine parts and accessories businesses, reported net sales of $521.8 million in the first quarter of 2013, up 7 percent from $489.4 million in the first quarter of 2012. International sales, which represented 36 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, were flat compared to the prior year. For the quarter, the Marine Engine segment reported operating earnings of $71.5 million. This compares with operating earnings of $47.9 million in the first quarter of 2012, which included $1.7 million of restructuring charges.
Sales were higher in the segment's outboard and parts and accessories businesses, partially offset by global sales declines in the segment's sterndrive engine product category.
Higher sales, the absence of prior year inefficiencies that resulted from sterndrive production ramp-up related to the completion of plant consolidation activities, a gain on a sale of real estate, and a decrease in restructuring charges contributed to the increase in operating earnings in the first quarter of 2013. Partially offsetting these factors was the effect of increased investments for long-term growth.
Boat Segment
The Boat segment is comprised of the Brunswick Boat Group, and includes 15 boat brands. The Boat segment reported net sales of $289.7 million for the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of one percent compared with $291.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. International sales, which represented 34 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, decreased by 13 percent during the period. For the first quarter of 2013, the Boat segment reported operating earnings of $2.4 million, including restructuring charges of $4.9 million. This compares with operating earnings of $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, including a gain of $1.5 million from restructuring activities.
Boat segment wholesale unit shipments increased slightly during the quarter, compared with the first quarter of 2012, as increases in outboard aluminum boats were mostly offset by lower sales of fiberglass sterndrive/inboard boats. The resulting impact on margins from this change in sales mix, along with higher restructuring, exit and impairment charges and investments for long-term growth, had a negative effect on the segment's quarterly results. Partially offsetting these factors were the benefits from successful cost reduction activities.
Fitness Segment
The Fitness segment is comprised of the Life Fitness Division, which designs, manufactures, and sells Life Fitness and Hammer Strength fitness equipment. Fitness segment sales in the first quarter of 2013 totaled $166.2 million, up 6 percent from $157.1 million in the first quarter of 2012. International sales, which represented 50 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, increased by 11 percent. For the quarter, the Fitness segment reported operating earnings of $24.5 million. This compares with operating earnings of $23.7 million in the first quarter of 2012.
The increase in sales reflected gains in international markets and growth to U.S. health club customers. Operating earnings increased by 3 percent in the first quarter of 2013, when compared with 2012, as a result of higher sales combined with a favorable insurance settlement, partially offset by investments in growth initiatives.
Bowling & Billiards Segment
The Bowling & Billiards segment is comprised of Brunswick retail bowling centers, bowling equipment and products, and billiards tables and accessories. Segment sales in the first quarter of 2013 totaled $85.2 million, down 5 percent compared with $89.9 million in the year-ago quarter. International sales, which represented 19 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, decreased by 4 percent. For the quarter, the segment reported operating earnings of $14.9 million, compared with operating earnings of $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2012.
Sales decreased in the quarter as a result of lower bowling products sales and a reduced retail center count. Partially offsetting the decline was an increase in U.S. equivalent retail center sales. The increase in operating earnings in the first quarter of 2013, when compared with 2012, reflects improved operating efficiencies, partially offset by lower sales in bowling products.
2013 Outlook
“As a result of our solid performance in the first quarter and a more favorable anticipated tax rate, we are increasing our 2013 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, as adjusted, expectation to a range of $2.30 to $2.50 per diluted share,” McCoy said.
"Although very early in the selling season, first quarter U.S. marine retail demand was below our expectations as a result of weather conditions in important boating markets and perhaps other economic factors. Our operating plans for the remainder of the year remain consistent with the planning assumptions we communicated at the outset of the year, which reflected global economic conditions generally comparable to 2012, with weakness continuing in Europe.
“We expect to continue to experience an uneven recovery in the U.S. powerboat market, with our outboard boat and engine products and global parts and accessories businesses generating solid growth. Our assumptions continue to reflect weak market conditions challenging the large fiberglass boat category, which will affect both fiberglass boat and sterndrive engine sales and production.
“Positive health and wellness trends, combined with exciting new products, have positioned our fitness business to deliver excellent results again in 2013, and our bowling business should further leverage its competitive advantages with improving top- line performance expected in the second half of the year.
“Against this backdrop, we continue to target 3 percent to 5 percent growth in overall revenue in 2013. Our current plan reflects a modest improvement in gross margin levels, as the strong increase experienced in the first quarter is expected to moderate over the remainder of the year. Our organic growth platform will benefit from increased 2013 investments in capital projects and research and development programs, along with the SG&A to support them. As a result of these initiatives, full-year operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, are expected to be comparable to 2012 levels.
“For the full-year, we expect to generate positive free cash flow and execute against our ongoing strategic financial objective of further lowering debt levels, thereby reducing interest expense,” McCoy concluded.
