LEGGETT & PLATT REPORTS 4Q AND FULL YEAR 2019 RESULTS

Carthage, MO, February 3, 2020 —

 

   

4Q sales grew 9%, to $1.14 billion

 

   

4Q EPS was $.64 and 4Q adjusted1 EPS was $.68, increases vs 4Q18

 

   

2019 sales increased 11%, to $4.75 billion

 

   

2019 EPS was $2.47 and 2019 adjusted1 EPS was $2.57, increases vs 2018

 

   

2019 cash flow from operations was a record $668 million

 

   

2020 guidance: EPS of $2.40–$2.60 on sales of $4.7–$4.9 billion

Diversified manufacturer Leggett & Platt reported fourth quarter 2019 sales of $1.14 billion, a 9% increase versus fourth quarter last year.

 

   

Acquisitions added 13% to sales growth (primarily ECS)

 

   

Organic sales were down 4%:

 

     

Volume up 2% absent declines from exited business (which reduced sales 3%)

 

     

Raw material-related selling price decreases and negative currency impact -3%

Fourth quarter EBIT was $135 million, up $51 million or 61% from fourth quarter last year, and adjusted1 EBIT was $140 million, a $20 million or 17% increase.

 

   

EBIT and adjusted1 EBIT benefited from:

 

     

ECS acquisition

 

     

Lower raw material costs (including LIFO benefit)

 

     

Improved earnings performance in Furniture Products

 

   

EBIT margin was 11.8%, up from 8.0% in the fourth quarter of 2018, and adjusted1 EBIT margin was 12.2%, up from 11.5%

Fourth quarter EPS was $.64, an increase of $.25 versus fourth quarter 2018. Adjusted1 EPS was $.68, an increase of $.06, and reflects higher adjusted1 EBIT partially offset by higher interest expense ($.04/share) and a higher tax rate ($.02/share).

Full-Year Results:

2019 sales of $4.75 billion, an 11% increase versus last year

 

   

Acquisitions added 14% to sales growth (ECS and other smaller acquisitions)

Fourth quarter included $5 million (pretax), or $.04 per share, of restructuring-related charges

 

     

$3 million cash and $2 million non-cash

 

   

Full-year adjustments included restructuring-related charges of $15 million (pretax) and ECS transaction costs of $1 million (pretax), or $.10 per share

 

     

$9 million cash and $7 million non-cash

CEO Comments

Chairman and CEO Karl G. Glassman commented, “In 2019, our employees achieved several milestones including the acquisition of ECS, the largest acquisition in Company history, record cash flow from operations, and our 48th consecutive annual dividend increase. We also announced organizational changes, including segment realignment, effective January 1, 2020, and key executive and board appointments.

“Portfolio management remains a strategic priority. Over the past several years we have enhanced our business portfolio and improved margins by growing our stronger businesses and exiting or restructuring businesses that consistently struggled to deliver acceptable margins and returns. During 2019 we acquired two businesses: ECS, which contributed meaningfully to EBIT and operating cash flow, and a small Geo Components operation. We also completed the restructuring of Home Furniture and the exit of Fashion Bed.

“During 2019, sales grew 11% primarily from the ECS acquisition. Sales were stronger in U.S. Spring, Automotive, Work Furniture and Aerospace but these improvements were more than offset by planned lower volume from business exited in Fashion Bed and Home Furniture and weak trade demand in the Industrial Products segment. Full year adjusted1 EBIT increased $56 million over 2018, primarily from the ECS acquisition, lower raw material costs including LIFO benefit, and improved earnings performance in Furniture Products.

“In 2020, we expect mid-single-digit volume growth from Automotive, U.S. Spring, ECS, Aerospace, Geo Components and Work Furniture, to be offset by further year-over-year sales declines from exited business in Fashion Bed and Home Furniture, continued weak trade demand for steel rod and wire and raw material-related selling price decreases which began in the second half of 2019. Prior year acquisitions should add 1% to sales growth. Earnings growth in Automotive, U.S Spring, ECS and several of our businesses is expected to be more than offset by increasing steel costs, including the non-recurrence of 2019’s LIFO benefit, and investments to support future growth.”

Debt and Cash Flow

 

   

Debt was 2.9x trailing 12-months pro forma adjusted1 EBITDA; we expect to be at debt to trailing 12-months adjusted EBITDA of approximately 2.5x by the end of 2020

 

   

Operating cash flow was a record $668 million during 2019, an increase of $228 million versus last year

 

2 of 8


2020 Guidance

 

   

Sales are expected to be $4.7–$4.9 billion, -1% to +3% versus 2019

 

     

Organic sales are expected to be -2% to +2%

 

   

Volume expected to be -1% to +3%, including -1% from exited business

 

   

Raw material-related selling price decreases should reduce sales by 1%

 

     

Prior year acquisitions should add 1% to sales growth

 

   

EPS is expected to be $2.40–$2.60

 

   

Based on this guidance range, EBIT margin should be 10.7%–11.0%

 

   

Additional guidance expectations:

 

     

Depreciation and amortization $200 million

 

     

Net interest expense $80 million

 

     

Effective tax rate 23%

 

     

Fully diluted shares of 136 million

 

     

Operating cash flow $550 million

 

     

Capital expenditures $160 million

LIFO

 

   

In 2019, lower steel costs resulted in a LIFO benefit of $32 million (pretax)

 

   

In 2018, increasing steel costs resulted in LIFO expense of $31 million (pretax)

SEGMENT RESULTS – Fourth Quarter 2019 (versus 4Q 2018)

Residential Products

 

   

Total sales grew 32%; acquisitions added 33%

 

   

Organic sales decreased 1%

 

     

Volume was up 2%, primarily from continued market share and content gains in U.S. Spring

 

     

Raw material-related price decreases reduced sales 3%

 

   

EBIT increased $26 million, primarily from the non-recurrence of a $16 million non-cash impairment charge related to a note receivable and $4 million in costs incurred with the ECS acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2018. EBIT also benefited from ECS acquisition earnings (after $12 million of amortization expense).

Industrial Products

 

   

Total sales decreased 24%

 

     

Volume was down 14% from weak trade demand for steel rod and wire

 

     

Raw material-related selling price decreases reduced sales 10%

 

   

EBIT increased $1 million, primarily from lower raw material costs (including LIFO benefit) largely offset by lower metal margin and lower trade steel rod and wire volume

Furniture Products

 

   

Total sales were down 5%

 

   

Volume decreased 4%, primarily from our decision to exit Fashion Bed and planned declines in Home Furniture, partially offset by growth in Adjustable Bed

 

   

Currency impact and raw material-related selling price decreases reduced sales 1%

 

   

EBIT increased $20 million, primarily from lower restructuring-related charges ($3 million in 4Q 2019 versus $15 million in 4Q 2018) as well as lower raw material costs (including LIFO benefit) and lower fixed costs attributable to restructuring activity

Raw material-related selling price increases were offset by a negative currency impact

 

   

EBIT increased $24 million, primarily from improved pricing and lower fixed costs attributable to restructuring activity and lower restructuring-related charges ($10 million in 2019 versus $15 million in 2018)

Specialized Products

 

   

Total sales were up 1% from the PHC acquisition in early 2018; organic sales were flat

 

   

Volume was up 2%, from growth in Automotive and Aerospace

 

   

Currency impact, net of raw material-related price increases in Hydraulic Cylinders, decreased sales 2%

 

   

EBIT decreased $18 million, with earnings from higher volume offset by higher operating costs in Aerospace and Hydraulic Cylinders, negative currency impact, and investments to support future growth in Automotive

Management and investors use these measures as supplemental information to assess operational performance.

The non-GAAP adjustments affected various line items on the income statement. Details by quarter: 4Q 2018: $4.4 million COGS, $19.6 million SG&A, $11.9 million other expense, $3.2 million interest expense. 1Q 2019: $2.4 million COGS, $0.9 million SG&A, $3.9 million other expense. 3Q 2019: ($0.9) million COGS, $4.7 million other expense. 4Q 2019: $4.9 million other expense.

8 

4Q 2018 excludes $3.2 million of financing-related charges recognized in interest expense.

9 

Management and investors use this ratio as supplemental information to assess ability to pay off debt. These ratios are calculated differently than the Company’s credit facility covenant ratio.

10 

The Leggett and ECS pro forma adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2019 is presented in the table below. Because the increase in total debt from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019 was directly attributable to the ECS acquisition, we believe it is more meaningful to investors to include ECS’s pre-acquisition adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 months ended March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2019 in the total debt / 12-month adjusted EBITDA calculation.
