Bemis Company Reports 2015 Second Quarter Results With Strong Margin Improvement and Cash Flow
July 23, 2015 | By Business Wire News
NEENAH, Wis.
Bemis Company, Inc. (NYSE:BMS) today reported second quarter 2015 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.67 per share, compared to $0.60 in the same quarter of 2014, an increase of 11.7 percent.
“I am pleased with our continued margin and cash flow improvements this quarter, as we build toward our long-term financial targets,” said William F. Austen, Bemis Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Consistent with our strategy, strong mix of products and operational excellence delivered margin improvement across our entire business. We saw continued overall unit volume growth in our Global Packaging business, offset by light volume in our U.S. Packaging business. As we enter the second half of the year, we remain intently focused on margins as we commercialize new products, deliver productivity improvements, and execute strong pricing discipline.”
BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
U.S. Packaging
U.S. Packaging net sales of $694.7 million for the second quarter of 2015 represented a decrease of 4.3 percent, compared to the same period of 2014, reflecting an approximate 5 percent decrease in unit volumes, partially offset by an increase in sales price and mix. Unit volumes declined primarily from the impact of the Company’s strategic pricing decisions.
U.S. Packaging operating profit increased to $102.9 million in the second quarter of 2015, or 14.8 percent of net sales, compared to $101.0 million, or 13.9 percent of net sales in the same period of 2014. This margin improvement primarily reflects continued operational improvements and sales mix benefits, partially offset by the impact of lower unit volumes.
Global Packaging
Global Packaging net sales for the second quarter of 2015 of $335.6 million represented a decrease of 9.7 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2014. Currency translation decreased net sales by 15.9 percent, primarily driven by currencies in Latin America. Excluding the impact of currency translation, net sales increased by 6.2 percent, reflecting an increase in unit volumes of approximately 5 percent, along with positive sales price and mix.
Global Packaging operating profit for the second quarter was $27.0 million, or 8.0 percent of net sales, compared to $26.6 million, or 7.2 percent of net sales, for the same period in 2014. The net effect of currency translation decreased operating profit during the second quarter of 2015 by $4.9 million, primarily driven by currencies in Latin America. Excluding the restructuring costs, segment adjusted operating profit would have been $27.3 million, or 8.1 percent of net sales. (See attached schedule: “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Operating Profit.”)
Margin improvement in the Global Packaging segment reflects strong operating performance and the overall favorable impact of increased sales of sophisticated, value-added packaging.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND CASH FLOW
Total company net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 2.2 times at June 30, 2015. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash, and adjusted EBITDA is defined as the last twelve months total company adjusted operating income plus depreciation and amortization.
Cash flow from operations for the first half of 2015 was $218.5 million, compared to $70.4 million for the first half of 2014. The second quarter contributed $133.3 million of operating cash flow, compared to $57.9 million for the prior second quarter. Strong cash flow was driven by disciplined management of working capital.
During the second quarter, Bemis repurchased 1.0 million shares, for a total of $45.9 million. At June 30, 2015, the remaining Board authorization for the repurchase of Bemis common stock was 4.9 million shares.
2015 OUTLOOK
Management expects full year adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.52 to $2.62, as compared to the previous range of $2.52 to $2.67.
Commenting on the remainder of the year, Austen stated, “Our updated EPS guidance reflects the impact of currency translation, partially offset by the benefits of cost discipline. We continue to execute our innovation pipeline to grow our business with the right mix of products. We have improved the timing of our capital projects that will support productivity improvements and future growth; I am confident in the results these investments will bring. We are keenly focused on continuing to deliver progress toward our long term margin targets.”
Management is raising its capital expenditures outlook for 2015 to be in the range of $200 million to $215 million, an increase from its previous outlook of $185 million to $200 million. This increase reflects the improved timing of executing planned projects to support growth and operational efficiency.
Management expects an effective income tax rate for the full year 2015 of slightly less than 34 percent.
