Newell Rubbermaid Announces Solid Third Quarter 2013 Results and Approval of $350 Million Accelerated Share Repurchase Plan
»    Core Sales Growth of 3.3% and Normalized EPS of $0.52
»    Reported Sales Growth of 2.1% and Reported EPS of $0.66
ATLANTA, October 25, 2013 – Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) today announced its third quarter 2013 financial results.
“Our third quarter results represent an important inflection point in our progress advancing the Growth Game Plan,” said Michael Polk, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Core sales grew 3.3 percent and normalized EPS grew 10.6 percent to $0.52. The sequential improvement in our growth rate versus our first half results was driven by core sales growth of over 4 percent in North America and 35 percent in Latin America. Successful new product launches, expanded distribution and stronger marketing initiatives delivered market share gains in Baby & Parenting, Home Solutions and Tools. Our growth was supported by increased advertising and promotion spending funded by Project Renewal savings and disciplined discretionary cost management. This is the power of the Growth Game Plan in action.
“Concurrent with our third quarter earnings announcement, our Board has authorized a $350 million accelerated share repurchase plan. This plan reflects confidence in the future prospects for Newell Rubbermaid and is an efficient use of divestiture proceeds and current year cash flow. Our company is growing stronger each quarter and, as a result, we can deliver increased value to shareholders through the accelerated purchase of the company’s shares while simultaneously investing to drive the Growth Game Plan into action,” concluded Polk.
Third Quarter Executive Summary
»		Net sales were $1.49 billion, a 2.1 percent increase versus prior year results.
»		Core sales, which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency, grew 3.3 percent.

Third Quarter 2013 Operating Results

Net sales in the third quarter were $1.49 billion, compared with $1.46 billion in the prior year. Core sales, which exclude 120 basis points of negative foreign currency, grew 3.3 percent.

Normalized gross margin of 38.1 percent declined 30 basis points versus prior year, as improved productivity and pricing were more than offset by less favorable mix and inflation. Reported gross margin declined 40 basis points.

Third quarter reported operating margin was 12.0 percent compared with 12.8 percent in the prior year. Reported operating income was $178.6 million versus $187.0 million.

Normalized operating margin was 14.6 percent, compared with 14.3 percent in the prior year. The improvement was primarily attributable to Project Renewal fixed cost savings in strategic and structural SG&A and better leverage of the cost structure with the increase in net sales, partially offset by increased brand support as a percentage of net sales.

Normalized operating income was $216.7 million compared with $207.9 million in the prior year period. Third quarter 2013 normalized operating income excludes restructuring and restructuring-related costs of $38.1 million, while in 2012 normalized operating income excludes $20.9 million of restructuring and restructuring-related costs.

The reported tax rate for the quarter was 24.6 percent compared with 35.0 percent in the prior year. The normalized tax rate was 24.3 percent compared with 28.6 percent in the prior year, primarily a reflection of the geographic mix of earnings and resolution of certain tax matters.

Reported net income was $193.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared with $108.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the prior year. The increase was largely due to a gain on the sale of the company’s Hardware business.

Normalized net income was $151.6 million, compared with $136.5 million in the prior year. Normalized diluted earnings per share of $0.52 increased 10.6 percent versus the prior year’s $0.47, primarily due to improved operating income, lower interest expense and a lower tax rate.

For the third quarter 2013, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.11 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with Project Renewal, $0.01 per diluted share of net tax benefits related to the expiration of statutes of limitation and nonrecurring discrete items, and a net gain from discontinued operations of $0.24 per diluted share. For the third quarter 2012, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.06 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with Project Renewal and the European Transformation Plan, $0.01 per diluted share due to a loss on the extinguishment of debt, $0.01 per diluted share of net income associated with discontinued operations and $0.03 per diluted share related to non-recurring tax charges resulting from

incremental tax contingencies. (A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

The company generated $360.8 million in operating cash flow during the third quarter compared with $301.5 million last year. The increase is in large part due to a decrease in working capital. Capital expenditures were $28.7 million compared with $45.2 million in the prior year.

A reconciliation of the third quarter 2013 and 2012 results is as follows:

 

		Q3 2013*		Q3 2012*
Diluted earnings per share (as reported)		$0.66		$0.37
Restructuring and restructuring-related costs		0.11		0.06

Third Quarter 2013 Operating Segment Results

Writing net sales for the third quarter were $454.7 million, a 0.9 percent decline compared to prior year. Core sales increased 0.2 percent, reflecting strong growth in North America in customers outside the office superstore channel and continued momentum in Latin America, largely offset by weakness in the North American office superstore channel and in EMEA. Normalized operating income was $109.1 million, or 24.0 percent of sales, compared with $84.8 million, or 18.5 percent of sales, in the prior year. The increase in operating margin was largely driven by strong productivity, pricing in Latin America and Project Renewal cost savings.

Home Solutions net sales were $431.4 million, a 6.8 percent increase compared to prior year. Core sales increased 7.2 percent, reflecting strong customer programming on Rubbermaid^®, new Levolor^® product launches and increased distribution of Calphalon^®. Home Solutions operating income was $66.3 million, or 15.4 percent of sales, compared with $66.0 million, or 16.3 percent of sales, in the prior year. The decrease in operating margin was driven by increased advertising and promotions expense and negative mix associated with strong Rubbermaid and Levolor growth, offset in part by Project Renewal cost savings.

Tools net sales were $210.6 million, a 3.4 percent increase compared to prior year. Core sales increased 5.7 percent, driven by National Tradesman Day marketing activity in North America and new product launches in Latin America. Operating income in the Tools segment was $12.3 million, or 5.8 percent of sales, compared with $26.8 million, or 13.2 percent of sales, in the prior year. The decrease in operating

margin was due to adverse foreign exchange impacts on gross margin and planned incremental advertising and promotion spend, partially offset by pricing and Project Renewal cost savings.

Commercial Products net sales were $196.3 million, a 4.5 percent decrease compared to prior year. Core sales declined 4.3 percent against a difficult year ago comparison of 8.4 percent growth. Softness in Rubbermaid Healthcare was the primary driver of the decline, attributed to uncertainty in the U.S. healthcare market. Operating income was $23.5 million, or 12.0 percent of sales, compared with $31.2 million, or 15.2 percent of sales, in the prior year. The decrease in operating margin was driven by increased investments in customer programming, advertising and promotion, selling and product marketing expense, partially offset by Project Renewal cost savings.

Baby & Parenting net sales were $194.2 million, a 4.8 percent increase compared to prior year. Core sales increased 7.9 percent, driven by strengthened distribution and successful new innovation. Normalized operating income was $24.7 million, or 12.7 percent of sales, compared with $18.3 million, or 9.9 percent of sales, in the prior year. The increase in operating margin was due primarily to pricing, Project Renewal cost savings, and fixed cost leverage associated with strong growth.

Accelerated Share Repurchase Plan

The Newell Rubbermaid Board of Directors has approved an accelerated share repurchase plan to repurchase $350 million of the company’s common shares. The company expects to enter into the plan during the fourth quarter. This $350 million is incremental to the current $300 million repurchase plan which was authorized in 2011. The company has used $257 million of the current repurchase authorization through the end of the third quarter of 2013.

Nine Month Results

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 1.7 percent to $4.20 billion, compared with $4.13 billion in the prior year. Core sales increased 2.8 percent. Foreign currency adversely impacted net sales by 1.1 percent.

Gross margin was 38.6 percent, compared with 38.7 percent in the prior year, as productivity gains were offset by the effect of input cost inflation, less favorable mix and increased investment in customer programs.

Normalized operating margin of 13.7 percent was an increase of 40 basis points compared with 13.3 percent in the prior year. Reported operating margin declined 80 basis points due to higher Project Renewal restructuring and restructuring-related costs.

Normalized earnings were $1.37 per diluted share compared with $1.24 per diluted share in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.34 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs associated with Project Renewal, $0.02 per diluted share resulting from the currency devaluation in Venezuela, $0.03 per diluted share of income tax benefits attributable to the resolution of tax contingencies and a net gain from discontinued operations of $0.19 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, normalized diluted earnings per share exclude $0.17 per diluted share for restructuring and restructuring-related costs, $0.07 per diluted share associated with certain nonrecurring tax charges resulting from incremental tax contingencies, $0.01 per diluted share due to a loss on extinguishment of debt, as well as the impact on net income from discontinued operations of $0.03 per diluted share. (A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included below.)

Net income, as reported, was $357.3 million, or $1.22 per diluted share. This compares with $299.4 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, in the prior year.

The company generated $301.0 million in operating cash flow during the first nine months of 2013 compared with $357.2 million in the prior year. The difference was largely due to an incremental voluntary pension contribution of $50 million in 2013. Capital expenditures were $85.7 million compared with $130.2 million in the prior year.

 

A reconciliation of the nine month 2013 and 2012 results is as follows:

 

		YTD Q3 2013*		YTD Q3 2012*
Diluted earnings per share (as reported)		$1.22		$1.02
Restructuring and restructuring-related costs		0.34		0.17

2013 normalized EPS guidance excludes between $120 and $130 million of Project Renewal restructuring and restructuring-related costs. (A reconciliation of expected reported results to “normalized” results is included below.)

The company is on track to realize cumulative annualized cost savings of $270 to $325 million by the second quarter of 2015 related to Project Renewal. The majority of these savings will be reinvested in the business to strengthen brand building and selling capabilities and accelerate growth.

Operating cash flow guidance assumes $90 to $110 million in restructuring and restructuring-related cash payments. Capital expenditures are projected at $125 to $150 million.

A reconciliation of the 2013 earnings outlook is as follows:

 

		FY 2013
Diluted earnings per share		$1.61 to $1.65
Restructuring and restructuring-related costs		$0.38 to $0.40
Currency devaluation - Venezuela		$0.02
Income tax item		($0.03)
Income from discontinued operations		($0.19)
Normalized EPS		$1.80 to $1.84

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The company uses certain financial measures that are included in this press release and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to stockholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The company’s management believes that these measures - including those that are “non-GAAP financial measures” - and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the company’s past performance, reportable

business segments and prospects for future performance and (b) determine certain elements of management’s incentive compensation.

The company’s management believes that core sales, as reflected in the Currency Analysis, is useful to investors because it demonstrates the effect of foreign currency on reported sales. The effect of foreign currency on reported sales is determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the 12-month average in 2012, to the current and prior year local currency sales amounts, with the difference in these two amounts being the change in core sales and the difference between the change in as reported sales and the change in core sales reported as the currency impact. The company’s management believes that “normalized” gross margin, “normalized” SG&A expense, “normalized” operating income and “normalized” tax rates are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the company’s core ongoing operations. The company’s management believes that “normalized” earnings per share, which excludes restructuring and restructuring-related charges and one-time events such as losses related to the extinguishments of debt, tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, discontinued operations and certain other items, is useful to investors because it permits investors to better understand year-over-year changes in underlying operating performance. The company uses both core sales and normalized earnings per share as two of the three performance criteria in its management cash bonus plan.

The company determines the tax effect of the items excluded from normalized diluted earnings per share by applying the estimated effective rate for the applicable jurisdiction in which the pre-tax items were incurred, and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit, if any, is expected.

While the company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company’s performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.
