Fortune Brands Reports Third Quarter Sales and EPS Growth; Confirms 2016 Annual EPS Outlook

Highlights from continuing operations:

  • Q3 2016 sales increased 3 percent year-over-year to $1.28 billion
  • EPS $0.77; EPS before charges/gains increased 25 percent to $0.80, reflecting stronger business performance and lower tax rate
  • Company narrows outlook for full-year 2016 EPS before charges/gains to $2.72 - $2.76 on sales growth of 9 - 10 percent

DEERFIELD, Ill.--()--Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced third quarter 2016 results from continuing operations and confirmed its 2016 annual outlook for earnings per share.

“In the third quarter, sales grew across our company despite softer repair and remodel activity, challenging prior year comparisons, and select channel inventory reductions,” said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands. “Importantly, our teams delivered strong profit performance across all segments. Since late September and through October we have seen order patterns improve. Based on the current pace of market growth and our solid execution, we continue to expect to deliver strong full-year results.”

Third Quarter 2016

For the third quarter of 2016, sales were $1.28 billion, an increase of 3 percent over the third quarter of 2015. Earnings per share were $0.77, compared to $0.61 in the prior-year quarter. EPS before charges/gains were $0.80, compared to $0.64 the same quarter last year. Operating income was $183.1 million, compared to $160.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income before charges/gains was $188.7 million, compared to $167.7 million the same quarter last year, up 13 percent.

“Operating margin before charges/gains for the total company grew by 130 basis points to 14.8 percent, with total operating leverage of more than 50 percent and solid performance across all operating segments,” said Lee Wyatt, chief financial officer, Fortune Brands. “We are ahead of plan and squarely on track to hit our long-term operating margin targets as we continue our disciplined focus on profitable growth.”

For each segment in the third quarter of 2016, compared to the prior-year quarter:

  • Cabinet sales were flat from the prior year. Excluding a significant new program launch and promotional timing in the in-stock vanity business in the third quarter of 2015, cabinet sales grew mid-single digits. Segment operating margin before charges/gains increased 180 basis points to 12.4 percent.
  • Plumbing sales increased 7 percent. Plumbing sales growth included the benefit of acquisitions and were negatively impacted by select channel inventory reductions. Operating margin before charges/gains was 21.7 percent.
  • Door sales were up 4 percent driven by the wholesale and retail channels, and operating margin before charges/gains increased 380 basis points to 17.3 percent.
  • Security sales increased 6 percent and were strong across multiple channels. Operating margin before charges/gains was 17 percent.

During the quarter the Company announced the creation of the Global Plumbing Group (GPG), a strategic step to accelerate growth opportunities and transform its plumbing business. The Company completed its first acquisition under the GPG last quarter by acquiring Riobel, a Canadian premium showroom brand with approximately $40 million in annual sales. Late in this quarter the Company also closed on the previously announced acquisition of ROHL, a California-based luxury brand with around $70 million in annual sales which includes the ROHL and Perrin & Rowe brands.

"The creation of the GPG platform establishes the foundation to accelerate growth in our plumbing segment beyond our powerful Moen brand, providing the critical infrastructure to support a multi-brand, -channel and -geography plumbing business," said Klein. "The GPG platform should better position us to capture future growth opportunities as we look to grow plumbing sales organically and through acquisitions to a total of $2.5 billion by 2020."

Annual Outlook for 2016

The Company’s 2016 annual outlook is based on a revised U.S. home products market growth assumption of 6 percent and 5 percent growth for the total global market. Due to slower summer repair and remodel activity, partly offset by incremental sales growth in the GPG, the Company’s full-year 2016 sales growth outlook was revised to 9 - 10 percent.

With 2016 year-to-date EPS before charges/gains of $2.05, the Company maintained the mid-point for expected full year EPS before charges/gains and narrowed the range to $2.72 - $2.76, which compares to 2015 EPS before charges/gains of $2.07.

“Despite slower summer repair and remodel activity, late September and October trends have improved and we are set up for a solid fourth quarter,” said Klein. “While short term labor challenges persist for builders and remodelers, long-term demand fundamentals for both new construction and repair and remodel remain strong. Our teams continue to perform well and we are positioned for continued growth in 2017.”

The Company expects to generate free cash flow of approximately $400 million for the full year 2016.

* Free cash flow is cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") less net capital expenditures (capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of assets including property, plant and equipment, and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options). In 2015, it additionally excludes payments of transaction costs related to the Norcraft acquisition. Free cash flow does not include adjustments for certain non-discretionary cash flows such as mandatory debt repayments. Free cash flow is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that free cash flow provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and related interest, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

RECONCILIATION OF FULL YEAR 2016 EARNINGS GUIDANCE TO GAAP

 

For the full year, on a GAAP basis, the Company is targeting diluted EPS from continuing operations to be in the range of $2.62 to $2.66 per share. The Company is targeting diluted EPS before charges/gains from continuing operations to be in the range of $2.72 to $2.76 per share. In addition, on a GAAP basis based on current relevant interest rate benchmarks and year-to-date pension asset returns, the Company may incur additional defined benefit plan actuarial losses in the range of $0.15 to $0.25 per share in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to declining discount rates since December 31, 2015, the last remeasurement date. Any actuarial loss incurred in the fourth quarter will be based upon spot discount rates as of December 31, 2016 and our full year 2016 pension asset returns and may differ materially from this estimate. A 25 basis point change in our discount rate impacts our defined benefit plan liabilities by approximately $25 million. Reconciliation of non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance to GAAP diluted EPS guidance cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from the diluted EPS before charges/gains.

(1) Corporate expenses as derived in accordance with GAAP include the components of defined benefit plan expense other than service cost including actuarial gains and losses.
 
(2) Restructuring charges are costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and include workforce reduction costs.
 
(3) "Other charges" represent charges or gains directly related to restructuring initiatives that cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories, trade receivables allowances from exiting product lines, accelerated depreciation resulting from the closure of facilities, and gains or losses on the sale of previously closed facilities. In addition, it includes $0.5 million of estimated acquisition related inventory step-up expense in our Plumbing segment.
 
(4) Represents actuarial gains or losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Actuarial gains or losses in a period represent the difference between actual and actuarially assumed experience, principally related to liability discount rates and plan asset returns, as well as other actuarial assumptions including compensation rates, turnover rates, and health care cost trend rates. The Company recognizes actuarial gains or losses immediately in operating income to the extent they cumulatively exceed a “corridor.” The corridor is equal to the greater of 10% of the fair value of plan assets or 10% of a plan’s projected benefit obligation. Actuarial gains or losses are determined at required remeasurement dates which occur at least annually in the fourth quarter. Remeasurements due to plan amendments and settlements may also occur in interim periods during the year. Our operating income before charges/gains reflects our expected rate of return on pension plan assets which in a given period may materially differ from our actual return on plan assets. Our liability discount rates and plan asset returns are based upon difficult to predict fluctuations in global bond and equity markets that are not directly related to the Company’s business. We believe that the exclusion of actuarial gains or losses from operating income before charges/gains provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the business from period to period that may be considered in conjunction with our operating income as measured on a GAAP basis. We present this supplemental information because such actuarial gains or losses may create volatility in our operating income that does not necessarily have an immediate corresponding impact on operating cash flow or the actual compensation and benefits provided to our employees. The table below sets forth additional supplemental information on the Company’s historical actual and expected rate of return on plan assets, as well as discount rates used to value its defined benefit obligations:
