Spectrum Brands Holdings Reports Fiscal 2023 Second Quarter Results

  • Spectrum Brands has Resolved the Lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") Regarding ASSA ABLOY's Acquisition of HHI Segment
  • The Company Expects to Collect $4.3 Billion Upon Completion of the Sale of HHI, Anticipated to Close no Later Than the End of June 2023
  • Net Sales Decreased 9.7% Driven by Retailer Inventory Strategy Leading to Lower Replenishment Orders, Slower Category POS and Unfavorable Foreign Currency, Offset by Positive Pricing Adjustments
  • Net Loss from Continuing Operations of $75.0 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $51.0 Million
  • Inventory Reduction of $170 million in the Quarter, including HHI Business, Resulting in Positive Free Cash Flow
  • Updating Fiscal 2023 Earnings Framework and Now Expect Net Sales to Decline Mid Single-Digits to Prior Year and Adjusted EBITDA to be Down Low to Mid Single-Digits

Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB; “Spectrum Brands” or the “Company”), a leading global branded consumer products and home essentials company focused on driving innovation and providing exceptional customer service, today reported results from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 ended April 2, 2023.

"I am pleased to announce that with the settlement agreement with the DOJ, we have reached a critical milestone in the completion of the sale of our Hardware and Home Improvement business to ASSA ABLOY for $4.3 billion in cash. We remain confident that the transaction will close no later than June 30, 2023. We believe that HHI will be better positioned for growth and innovation under ASSA ABLOY's stewardship, and are excited for our HHI colleagues who have found an excellent home. This is a meaningful strategic pivot for Spectrum Brands, which will strengthen our balance sheet by making us a net debt free company, and allow us to devote all our resources to and prioritize the long-term growth of our remaining businesses. This transaction will also bring us closer to our long-term goal of becoming a faster growing, higher margin, pure play Global Pet Care and Home & Garden company,” said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.

Continuing, Mr. Maura commented, “On the operating front, while our Global Pet Care and Home and Personal Care businesses performed in line with or better than our expectations, we are disappointed with the results in our Home and Garden business for this quarter. We are facing some additional short-term headwinds as our key retail partners for the Home and Garden categories have continued to reduce inventory in the quarter compared to a typical seasonal build. Based upon the lower first half demand and this further inventory reduction by our retailers, we are lowering our expectations for the year. We now expect our sales in the year to be below consumer demand, which should normalize once we get past the current fiscal year. On the positive side, our renewed focus on profitability, working capital discipline, and cost management continues to pay off as we have reduced our inventory by over $340 million in the last nine months and generated positive free cash flow so far this fiscal year."

  • Net sales decreased 9.7% with a decrease in organic net sales of 10.1%, excluding the impact of $19.4 million of unfavorable foreign exchange rates and acquisition sales of $22.1 million. Net sales declined due to retailer inventory management strategies and slower category POS, offset by positive pricing adjustments.
  • Gross profit and gross profit margin declined from the reduction in sales volume, unfavorable mix and sales of higher cost inventory accumulated in the prior year, offset by positive pricing.
  • Operating loss increased with the recognition of an intangible asset impairment of $67 million offset by lower distribution costs, fixed cost reduction efforts, plus reduced project spend on restructuring, optimization and strategic transaction initiatives.
  • Net loss increase and diluted earnings per share decrease were primarily driven by the increase in operating loss and interest costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 35.4% and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 280 basis points attributable to the decrease in volume and unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.
  • Adjusted diluted EPS decreased to a loss of $0.14 per share due to lower Adjusted EBITDA.

Net sales improved in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter, which was pressured by customers' focus on inventory management leading to lower replenishment orders. The increase in net sales compared to last year was due to strong growth in companion animals, driven by chews in North America and Dog and Cat food in EMEA, partially offset by declines in other hard goods and aquatic environments as compared to prior year elevated levels. The sales were also helped by prior year price increases and new positive pricing adjustments in EMEA partially overcoming the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. Organic net sales increased 3.1%, excluding unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $7.6 million.

Operating income, Adjusted EBITDA and margin increased due to lower distribution costs compared to prior year disruptions, positive pricing adjustments, savings from prior year cost reduction initiatives, and additional cost reduction actions in the current year. This was partially offset by lower volumes and unfavorable foreign currency impact.

The net sales decrease was primarily driven by reduction in retailer inventory compared to a strong prior year inventory build ahead of the season. Adverse weather conditions late in the quarter also negatively impacted the pest controls category POS and resulted in lower replenishment orders. Cleaning products sales decreased as a slow start to the spring cleaning season contributed to a POS decline in the relevant categories.

The operating loss, lower Adjusted EBITDA and margins were driven by the impact of the sales decline offset by the benefits of fixed cost restructuring and operational cost reductions initiated during the second half of last year. Operating income was also impacted by impairment of intangible assets.

The decrease in net sales is primarily due to category decline from lower consumer demand, particularly in kitchen appliances, and continued retailer inventory management in North America. Sales in EMEA were also impacted by lower consumer demand. Organic net sales decreased 14.9%, excluding acquisition sales of $22.1 million and unfavorable foreign currency impact of $11.8 million.

The operating loss was driven by impairment of intangible assets and lower Adjusted EBITDA. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and margins is driven by lower volume, the sales of higher cost inventory accumulated in the prior year, and unfavorable foreign currency in EMEA, which were partially mitigated by cost savings from the reduction of operating expenses initiated in the prior year and additional actions undertaken during the second quarter of fiscal 23.

Liquidity and Debt

As of the end of the quarter, the Company had a cash balance of $328 million and $3,222 million of debt outstanding, consisting of $2,014 million of senior unsecured notes, $1,117 million of term loans and revolver draws and $91 million of finance leases.

Proforma net leverage at the end of the second quarter was 6.3 times, compared to 6.2 times at the end of the previous quarter. In the first quarter, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit agreement to temporarily increase the maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted from 6.0 to 1.0 to be no greater than 7.0 to 1.0 until the earliest of (i) September 29, 2023, or (ii) 10 business days after the closing of the HHI divestiture or the receipt of the related termination fee.

Fiscal 2023 Earnings Framework

Spectrum Brands now expects reported net sales to decline by mid single-digits in Fiscal 2023, with foreign exchange expected to have a negative impact based upon current rates. Fiscal 2023 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to decline by low to mid single-digits.

From a capital structure perspective, the Company is targeting a long-term net leverage ratio of 2.0 - 2.5 times after full deployment of HHI sale proceeds.

Non-GAAP Measurements

Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Within this document, including the tables that follow, reference is made to organic net sales, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS). Management believes that organic net sales provide for a more complete understanding of underlying business trends of regional and segment performance by excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations and the impact of acquisitions (when applicable) when there is no comparable sales in the prior period. Organic sales growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to net sales in the prior comparative period. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’s net sales using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative period. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to evaluate segment performance and frequently used by the financial community, which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, because interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure for determining the Company's debt covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Management uses adjusted diluted EPS as a useful measure for providing further insight into our operating performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. An income tax adjustment is included in adjusted diluted EPS to exclude the impact of the valuation allowance against deferred taxes and other tax-related items in order to reflect a normalized ongoing effective tax rate of 25.0%. The Company provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While the Company's management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company's GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results. Supplemental tables have been provided within the Appendix to this document to demonstrate reconciliation of non-GAAP measurements to the most comparable GAAP measure.

We define organic net sales as reported net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions. We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rate and acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to reported net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’s net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior period. The following is a reconciliation of reported sales to organic sales for the three and six month period ended April 2, 2023 compared to reported net sales for the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2022:

ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN

Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization) is a non-GAAP metric used by management that we believe provides useful information to investors because it reflects ongoing operating performance and trends of our segments excluding certain non-cash based expenses and non-recurring items during each of the comparable periods and facilitates comparisons between peer companies since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Further, adjusted EBITDA is a measure used for determining the Company’s debt covenant. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense from intangible assets from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the following:

  • Stock based compensation costs consist of costs associated with long-term incentive compensation arrangements that generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation;
  • Incremental amounts attributable to strategic transactions and business development initiatives including, but not limited to, the acquisition or divestitures of a business, costs to effect and facilitate a transaction, including such cost to integrate or separate the respective business. These amounts are excluded from our performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards business development activities, incremental costs attributable to such transactions and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
  • Incremental amounts realized towards restructuring and optimization projects including, but not limited to, costs towards the development and implementation of strategies to optimize operations and improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase revenues, increase or maintain our current profit margins, including recognition of one-time exit or disposal costs. These amounts are excluded from our ongoing performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards significant initiatives controlled by management, incremental costs directly attributable to such initiatives, indirect impact or disruption to operating performance during implementation, and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
  • Unallocated shared costs associated with discontinued operations from certain shared and center-led administrative functions the Company's business units excluded from income from discontinued operations as they are not a direct cost of the discontinued business but a result of indirect allocations, including but not limited to, information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, supply chain, and commercial operations. Amounts attributable to unallocated shared costs would be mitigated through subsequent strategic or restructuring initiatives, transition services agreements, elimination of extraneous costs, or re-allocations or absorption of existing continuing operations following the completed sale of the discontinued operations;
  • Non-cash purchase accounting adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition, including, but not limited to, the costs attributable to the step-up in inventory value and the incremental value in operating lease assets with below market rent, among others;
  • Non-cash gain from the reduction in the contingent consideration liability recognized during the six month period ended April 2, 2023 associated with the Tristar Business acquisition in the prior year on February 18, 2022;
  • Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations, including impairments from property, plant and equipment, operating and finance leases, and goodwill and other intangible assets;
  • Impact from the early settlement of foreign currency cash flow hedges in the prior year, resulting in subsequent assumed losses at the original stated maturities of foreign currency cash flow hedges in our EMEA region that were settled early in the prior year due to changes in the Company's legal entity organization structure and forecasted purchasing strategy of HPC finished goods inventory within the region, resulting in the recognition of excluded gains in the prior year intended to mitigate cost through the year ending September 30, 2023;
  • Incremental costs recognized by the HPC segment attributable to the realization of product recalls initiated by the Company in the prior year;
  • Incremental reserves for non-recurring litigation or environmental remediation activity including the proposed settlement on outstanding litigation matters at our H&G division attributable to significant and unusual nonrecurring claims with no previous history or precedent with remeasurements during the six month period ended April 3, 2022; and
  • Other adjustments are primarily attributable to (1) costs associated with Salus as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company; (2) key executive severance related costs; (3) insurable losses associated with hurricane damages at a key supplier of our Glofish business and loss realized from misapplied funds during the six month period ended April 2, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of reported net sales for the respective periods.

ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS

We define adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) as reported diluted EPS excluding the effect of one-time, non-recurring activity and volatility associated with our income tax expense. The Company believes that adjusted diluted EPS provides further insight and comparability in operating performance as it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. Adjustments to diluted EPS include the following:

  • Incremental amounts attributable to strategic transactions and business development initiatives including, but not limited to, the acquisition or divestitures of a business, costs to effect and facilitate a transaction, including such cost to integrate or separate the respective business. These amounts are excluded from our performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards business development activities, incremental costs attributable to such transactions and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
  • Incremental amounts realized towards restructuring and optimization projects including, but not limited to, costs towards the development and implementation of strategies to optimize operations and improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase revenues, increase or maintain our current profit margins, including recognition of one-time exit or disposal costs. These amounts are excluded from our ongoing performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards significant initiatives controlled by management, incremental costs directly attributable to such initiatives, indirect impact or disruption to operating performance during implementation, and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
  • Unallocated shared costs associated with discontinued operations from certain shared and center-led administrative functions the Company's business units excluded from income from discontinued operations as they are not a direct cost of the discontinued business but a result of indirect allocations, including but not limited to, information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, supply chain, and commercial operations. Amounts attributable to unallocated shared costs would be mitigated through subsequent strategic or restructuring initiatives, transition services agreements, elimination of extraneous costs, or re-allocations or absorption of existing continuing operations following the completed sale of the discontinued operations;
  • Non-cash purchase accounting adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition, including, but not limited to, the costs attributable to the step-up in inventory value and the incremental value in operating lease assets with below market rent, among others;
  • Non-cash gain from the reduction in the contingent consideration liability recognized during the six month period ended April 2, 2023 associated with the Tristar Business acquisition in the prior year on February 18, 2022;
  • Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations, including impairments from property, plant and equipment, operating and finance leases, and goodwill and other intangible assets;
  • Impact from the early settlement of foreign currency cash flow hedges in the prior year, resulting in subsequent assumed losses at the original stated maturities of foreign currency cash flow hedges in our EMEA region that were settled early in the prior year due to changes in the Company's legal entity organization structure and forecasted purchasing strategy of HPC finished goods inventory within the region, resulting in the recognition of excluded gains in the prior year intended to mitigate costs through the year ending September 30, 2023;
  • Incremental costs recognized by the HPC segment attributable to the realization of product recalls initiated by the Company in the prior year;
  • Incremental reserves for non-recurring litigation or environmental remediation activity including the proposed settlement on outstanding litigation matters at our H&G division attributable to significant and unusual nonrecurring claims with no previous history or precedent with remeasurements during the six month period ended April 3, 2022;
  • Incremental interest costs realized during the three month period ended January 1, 2023 for fees paid towards the amendment to the credit agreement to temporarily increase the maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted from 6.0 to 1.0 to be no greater than 7.0 to 1.0 until the earliest of (i) September 29, 2023, or (ii) 10 business days after the closing of the HHI divestiture or the receipt of the related termination fee;
  • Other adjustments are primarily attributable to (1) costs associated with Salus as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company; (2) key executive severance related costs; (3) insurable losses and cost recovery associated with hurricane damages at a key supplier of our Glofish business and loss realized from misapplied funds during the six month period ended April 2, 2023; and
  • Income tax adjustment to diluted EPS is to exclude the impact of adjusting the valuation allowance against deferred taxes and other tax related items in order to reflect a normalized ongoing effective tax rate of 25.0% for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 based upon enacted corporate tax rate in the United States.
