Spectrum Brands, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2005 Financial Results
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 2005--Spectrum Brands, Inc. (NYSE:SPC) announced a fiscal 2005 fourth quarter diluted net loss per share of six cents and pro forma diluted earnings per share of thirteen cents, in line with analyst expectations as reported by First Call. These results compare to diluted earnings per share of 52 cents and pro forma diluted earnings per share of 60 cents for the comparable prior year period.
"We delivered results in line with revised expectations despite facing a number of challenges during the fourth quarter," said Spectrum Brands Chairman and CEO Dave Jones. "We were pleased to see strong sales growth in certain parts of our business - namely, 31 percent growth in Latin America and seven percent growth in our North American lawn and garden business. However, these positive results were more than offset by declines in battery sales in North America and Europe." The company cited weakness in consumer spending in Europe, the impact of its battery marketing strategy transition and high battery inventory levels at retail in North America as the primary reasons for the decline.
"Our fourth quarter results were also negatively impacted by increased raw materials and fuel and transportation costs," Jones continued. "We expect to relieve a portion of these cost pressures in fiscal 2006 through the implementation of pricing increases across a number of product categories. Furthermore, we are taking actions to accelerate the timing and amount of cost savings resulting from the integration of the United Industries and Tetra acquisitions, and we are instituting incremental cost cutting measures company-wide to further strengthen our competitive position and to protect margins and cash flow. However, given the recent challenges in our battery business, concerns about consumer spending trends and our expectations for continuing cost pressures we believe it prudent to revise our guidance for fiscal 2006 pro forma earnings to a range of $2.10 to $2.20."
Fourth Quarter Results
(Financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 include results from United Industries, acquired on February 7, 2005, and Tetra Holding GmbH, acquired on April 29, 2005. Financial results for periods prior to the acquisition dates exclude United and Tetra. Pro forma diluted EPS and other pro forma numbers referenced in this release exclude the impact of certain items detailed in the attached Table 3, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro Forma Financial Data" and Table 6, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Pro Forma EPS Guidance.")
Spectrum Brands' fourth quarter net sales were $603.7 million, as compared to $377.0 million for the same period last year. United's fourth quarter sales were $204.5 million and Tetra contributed sales of $55.8 million. Favorable currency translation contributed $7.6 million.
Gross profit for the quarter was $219.3 million versus $155.5 million for the same period last year. Cost of goods sold during the quarter included $2.7 million in restructuring and related costs incurred in connection with the closing of a zinc carbon manufacturing facility in Breitenbach, France and $2.6 million in inventory valuation charges associated with acquisitions. (In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, inventory acquired in an acquisition is revalued as part of the purchase price allocation. During the current quarter $2.6 million was recognized in cost of goods sold. The inventory valuation has no cash impact.) In fiscal 2004, cost of goods sold included $0.4 million in restructuring and related costs associated with the integration of the Remington acquisition. Excluding these charges, gross profit for the fourth quarter was $224.6 million, representing a gross margin of 37.2 percent versus 41.4 percent for the same period last year. The decline in gross margin percentage resulted from costs associated with the transition of the company's battery marketing strategy in North America, the inclusion of the lower margin United business and increased raw material, fuel and transportation costs.
Operating income was $34.1 million versus fiscal 2004's fourth quarter operating income of $46.5 million. Operating expenses in 2005 included restructuring and related charges of $8.3 million primarily related to the integration of United. In 2004 operating expenses included $4.5 million in restructuring and related charges associated with the Remington acquisition. Pro forma operating income for the fourth quarter was $47.7 million, or 7.9 percent of sales, compared to $51.4 million, or 13.6 percent of sales last year.
During the fourth quarter the company reduced its full-year effective tax rate to approximately 34.5 percent based on implementation of tax reduction strategies afforded the company as a result of recent acquisitions.
Fourth Quarter Segment Results
North American net sales were $133.4 million as compared with $169.4 million reported last year, as strong growth in sales of Remington branded products was more than offset by a decline in battery sales and a six percent reduction in selling days during the quarter. North American segment profits were $18.4 million versus $45.1 million reported last year. As previously announced by the company, fiscal 2005 battery sales and gross margins were negatively impacted by the transition from Rayovac's "50% More" battery marketing campaign to a new performance-based marketing strategy and by high retail inventory levels during the quarter. At the retail level, Rayovac branded alkaline batteries market share was unchanged while the category declined by approximately six percent.
European/ROW net sales were $153.8 million versus the $164.6 million reported last year, with no significant impact from foreign exchange translation. Segment profitability for the quarter was $21.2 million compared with $22.0 million last year. The overall stagnant economic and consumer spending environment in Europe and a resulting product mix shift to private label from branded batteries were the primary drivers of quarterly sales results.
In Latin America, net sales increased to $56.2 million as compared to $43.0 million in the fourth quarter last year. Favorable currency translation accounted for $6.4 million of the increase. Strong growth in battery sales largely driven by improved economic conditions and the impact of the Remington branded products introduction in this region were the principal drivers of sales growth in the quarter. Latin American segment profitability of $5.4 million compares to last year's $2.8 million.
United contributed net sales of $204.5 million and segment profits of $10.6 million during the fourth quarter. United generated revenues of $199.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 prior to its acquisition by Spectrum Brands. The North American lawn and garden business reported a seven percent increase in sales, largely driven by strong growth in fertilizer and growing media. Consumer purchases of Spectrum Brands products at retail showed even stronger growth during the quarter, with double-digit increases in every major category resulting in an overall growth of approximately 14 percent in consumer takeaway over the same period last year.
Tetra net sales in the fourth quarter were $55.8 million and segment profitability was $7.0 million. Excluding the Tetra inventory valuation charge of $2.3 million, pro forma segment profitability was $9.3 million. Tetra generated revenues of $58.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 prior to its acquisition by Spectrum Brands. Sales of aquatic equipment and supplies declined as a result of weak consumer spending in this product category during the fourth quarter.
Corporate expenses were $17.5 million, or 2.9 percent of net sales, as compared to $18.5 million, or 4.9 percent of net sales, in the prior year period. Increases in research and development spending and increased professional fees in support of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and ongoing legal activity were more than offset by adjustments to incentive compensation accruals.
Interest expense increased to $39.5 million in the quarter as compared to $16.7 million last year. The increase is the result of higher debt levels associated with the United and Tetra acquisitions.
Fiscal 2005 Results
Net sales for the 2005 fiscal year were $2.359 billion, compared with $1.417 billion for the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of results from the United, Tetra, Microlite and Ningbo acquisitions, which contributed, respectively, net sales of $787.0 million, $95.9 million, $39.4 million (for the eight months not included in the comparable period last year), and $10.6 million (for the six months not included in the comparable period last year). Favorable foreign exchange rates contributed $45.9 million.
Gross profit in 2005 was $883.9 million compared with $606.1 million last year. The 2005 results included $37.5 million in inventory valuation charges related to acquisitions and $10.5 million in restructuring and related charges associated with the closure of a manufacturing facility in France. Fiscal 2004 gross profit included a net $0.8 million benefit from an adjustment to restructuring and related charges associated with the Remington acquisition. Excluding these charges, year to date pro forma gross margin was 39.5 percent in 2005 and 42.7 percent in 2004. The decline in gross margin percentage was primarily due to the impact of our marketing transition in the North American battery business, the inclusion of United's lower margin business, higher raw materials and transportation costs and unfavorable product mix changes.
Operating expenses were $679.4 million, compared with $449.9 million reported last year. In 2005 and 2004, operating expenses included a net $15.4 million and $12.2 million, respectively, in restructuring and related and other charges. Excluding restructuring and related costs in both years, operating expense as a percentage of sales improved to 28 percent in 2005 compared with 31 percent of sales in 2004. Pro forma operating income in 2005 was $267.9 million, or 11.4 percent of sales, versus $167.6 million, or 11.8 percent of sales last year.
During the fourth quarter the company reduced its full year effective tax rate from an estimated 36 percent to approximately 34.5 percent. The full year effective tax rate for fiscal 2004 was 38 percent.
Net income for fiscal 2005 was $46.8 million compared with $55.8 million in the prior year. Pro forma net income was $96.3 million versus $63.3 million reported last year. Pro forma diluted earnings per share were $2.11 compared to pro forma diluted earnings per share of $1.83 in fiscal 2004.
Fiscal 2005 Segment Results
North American net sales were $610.8 million, compared with $654.0 million reported last year, primarily due to a decline in battery sales during the fourth quarter. North American segment profitability was $113.2 million versus $130.7 million reported last year, primarily as a result of the impact of the marketing transition in the battery business and increased raw materials and fuel and transportation costs.
European/ROW net sales were $657.7 million, an increase of 6.4 percent versus $618.0 million last year. Favorable foreign exchange rates accounted for $30.2 million of the increase. Strong sales growth from Remington branded products contributed as well. The acquisition of Ningbo Baowang contributed $10.6 million in incremental net sales for the six months of the current year for which results were not included in the prior year. European segment profits were $94.6 million versus $96.2 million in the prior year. The battery business in Europe has been negatively impacted by a stagnant economy and a continuing shift from branded product sales to private label, which has pressured net sales and gross margins.
In Latin America, net sales increased to $208.1 million from $145.2 million in the prior year as a result of strong sales growth across the region and a $39.4 million contribution from the Microlite acquisition during the eight months not included in prior year results. Favorable foreign exchange rates contributed $12.6 million. Latin American segment profitability was $19.0 million compared to $11.7 million last year.
United generated net sales of $787.0 million and segment profits of $79.0 million during the eight-month period it was included in fiscal 2005 results. Excluding inventory valuation charges totaling $29.3 million, United's pro forma segment profits were $108.3 million.
For the five month period subsequent to its acquisition, Tetra contributed net sales of $95.9 million and segment profits of $9.7 million. Excluding the inventory valuation charge of $7.9 million, Tetra pro forma segment profits were $17.6 million.
Corporate expenses were $84.7 million, or 3.6 percent of sales, as compared to $71.0 million, or 5.0 percent of sales for the same period last year. The increase was due primarily to higher levels of research and development spending, increased costs of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and higher legal costs.
Interest expense for the year increased to $134.1 million reflecting increased debt levels incurred to fund the current year acquisitions.
Financial Outlook
The company currently expects fiscal year 2006 net sales of approximately $2.8 billion and pro forma fully diluted earnings per share of between $2.10 and $2.20. In the first quarter of 2006, pro forma earnings per share of between 20 and 25 cents are projected. The company believes its new earnings guidance more appropriately reflects its outlook for (1) modest net sales growth as a result of a stagnant West European economy and moderate consumer spending growth and (2) continuing margin pressure from increased raw materials and energy and transportation costs.
