Fortune Brands Reports First Quarter Results; Reaffirms 2015 Annual EPS Outlook
April 30, 2015 | By Business Wire News
DEERFIELD, Ill.
Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced first quarter 2015 results from continuing operations and reaffirmed its 2015 annual outlook for earnings per share, while slightly adjusting its outlook for sales.
“As we expected, the 2015 home products market growth was moderate in the first quarter. Regardless, our teams delivered profit growth that was right on plan,” said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands. “We continue to anticipate accelerating new construction activity in the second half of the year. Based on that market assumption and solid execution of our plan in the first quarter, we are maintaining our full year profit outlook, while reducing the high end of our sales outlook due to the impact of currency.”
First Quarter 2015
For the first quarter of 2015, sales were $951 million, an increase of 7 percent over the first quarter of 2014. Earnings per share were $0.25, compared to $0.27 in the prior-year quarter. EPS before charges/gains were $0.28, compared to $0.27 the same quarter last year. Operating income was $67.3 million, compared to $69.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income before charges/gains was $73.2 million, compared to $70.1 million the same quarter last year.
For each segment in the first quarter of 2015, compared to the prior-year quarter:
- Cabinet sales were even with the prior year, with the key dealer channel growing 8 percent offset by the timing of in-stock cabinet and vanities shipments and the impact of currency.
- Plumbing sales increased 8 percent, with growth across the U.S. wholesale and retail channels, and Canada.
- Door sales were up 5 percent with growth in both the wholesale and retail channels.
- Security sales increased 39 percent driven by the SentrySafe acquisition.
“The completion of capacity investments and the pending Norcraft acquisition position our cabinets segment well to leverage the improving housing market,” said Lee Wyatt, chief financial officer. “These actions also reflect our focus on driving incremental growth and shareholder value with our cash flow and balance sheet.”
Agreement to Acquire Norcraft
As previously announced, the Company has signed an agreement to acquire Norcraft, a leading, publicly-owned manufacturer of kitchen and bathroom cabinetry.
“Our disciplined growth strategy for our cabinets business includes being the best in North America by excelling in the most attractive areas of the cabinet market. Norcraft can help to build on our existing strengths and we see tremendous opportunity for accelerated growth by bringing these businesses together,” said Klein. “Norcraft has proven capabilities and great relationships in the dealer channel with strong operating management throughout their business. We intend to replicate the success we have had selling multiple product lines to dealers into the Norcraft relationships, as well as leverage Norcraft products into our existing relationships. In a few years this business could add more than $450 million in revenue and 20 cents of EPS annually.”
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is on track to close in the second quarter of 2015. Upon completion of the recently launched tender offer, Norcraft will be merged into Fortune Brands’ cabinets business.
Annual Outlook for 2015
The Company’s 2015 annual outlook is based on a U.S. home products market growth assumption of 6 to 8 percent. Based on the Company’s expectation to continue outperforming the market, the Company reduced full-year 2015 net sales growth from a range of 9 to 11 percent to a range of 9 to 10.5 percent to reflect the impact of currency.
The Company reaffirmed its expectations for EPS before charges/gains to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.10, which compares to 2014 EPS before charges/gains of $1.74.
“The first quarter home products market performed as we expected. We plan for some improvement in the second quarter,” said Klein. “Due to the positive signs we are seeing in April and the natural lag for our businesses, we continue to look for the strongest market growth in the second half of the year.”
The Company’s outlook includes the impact of the 2014 acquisition of SentrySafe. The outlook does not include any potential impact from the pending Norcraft acquisition.
The Company expects to generate free cash flow of approximately $250 million for the full year 2015. The expected free cash flow is net of anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $130 million, as the Company invests in incremental capacity and infrastructure to support multi-year growth.

* 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) plus proceeds from the exercise of stock options. It additionally does not include any potential impact from the pending 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. |

For the full year, the Company is targeting diluted EPS before charges/gains from continuing operations to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.10 per share.

The outlook does not include any potential impact from the pending Norcraft acquisition. On a GAAP basis, the Company is targeting diluted EPS from continuing operations to be in the range of $1.97 to $2.07 per share.

| (1) Corporate expenses 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 charges or gains may include losses on disposal of inventories, trade receivables allowances from exiting product lines, accelerated depreciation resulting from the closure of facilities, and gains and losses on the sale of previously closed facilities. In addition, other charges include expenses related to the pending Norcraft transaction. |
| (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: |
