Fortune Brands Reports Strong Sales and EPS for Q4 and Full Year; Provides 2016 Annual Outlook with Continued Strong Performance
February 3, 2016 | By Business Wire News
DEERFIELD, Ill.
Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced fourth quarter 2015 results from continuing operations and provided its 2016 annual outlook for sales and earnings per share.
“We delivered strong results at the high end of our guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2015. We achieved strong sales growth as the home products market accelerated in the back half of the year, as we had anticipated. Our teams also delivered strong profit growth with efficiency gains in our recently expanded capacity and continued to focus on profitable growth in all channels,” said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands. “We have built on our momentum with another year of growth and market outperformance, and are well-positioned for continued strong performance going into 2016.”
Fourth Quarter 2015
For the fourth quarter of 2015, sales were $1.22 billion, an increase of 18 percent over the fourth quarter of 2014. Earnings per share were $0.54, compared to $0.35 in the prior-year quarter. EPS before charges/gains were $0.56, compared to $0.44 the same quarter last year. Operating income was $140.3 million, compared to $79.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income before charges/gains was $147.0 million, compared to $103.7 million the same quarter last year, up 42 percent.
“In the fourth quarter, sales increased 22 percent for the U.S. businesses. Operating margin before charges/gains for the total company grew significantly by 200 basis points to 12.0 percent, with solid performance across all operating segments,” Klein said.
For each segment in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to the prior-year quarter:
- Cabinet sales increased 33 percent from the prior year including the impact of the Norcraft acquisition as the dealer channel and in-stock cabinet/vanities channel grew double digits. Cabinet operating margin before charges/gains improved 220 basis points to 10.0 percent.
- Plumbing sales increased 7 percent, with growth across the U.S. wholesale and retail channels and China. Excluding the negative impact of currency, plumbing sales increased 10 percent.
- Door sales were up 5 percent with growth in both the wholesale and retail channels.
- Security sales increased 3 percent driven by U.S. retail and SentrySafe. Sales growth was partially offset by the negative impact of currency.
Full Year 2015
For the full year 2015, sales were $4.6 billion, an increase of 14 percent over 2014. Earnings per share were $1.88 compared to $1.64 in the prior year, and EPS before charges/gains were $2.07 versus $1.74 last year, an increase of 19 percent.
“Our balance sheet remained strong during 2015. We completed the Norcraft acquisition and placed a $900 million bond issue that enhances our flexibility to drive incremental growth. We also repurchased shares and increased our quarterly dividend again,” said Lee Wyatt, chief financial officer. “As of December 31, 2015, cash was $239 million and debt was $1.2 billion, resulting in net debt to EBITDA of 1.4 times and giving us substantial flexibility to continue to create incremental shareholder value.”
“We were accurate in estimating the pace of growth in our home products market and delivered sales and profit growth that was on plan for the year,” said Klein. “In 2015, our teams focused on profitable growth and manufacturing efficiencies which increased our operating margin 110 basis points to 11.8 percent. Additionally, the integrations of both Norcraft cabinetry and SentrySafe are proceeding as planned. Our strong execution in 2015 and the momentum we’ve built has us well-positioned to deliver similar growth in 2016.”
Annual Outlook for 2016
The Company’s 2016 annual outlook is based on a U.S. home products market growth assumption of 6 to 7 percent and an assumption of 5 to 6 percent growth for our total global market. Based on the Company’s expectation to continue outperforming the market and incremental sales from the Norcraft acquisition, the Company expects full-year 2016 sales growth in the range of 10 to 12 percent.
The Company expects EPS before charges/gains to be in the range of $2.42 to $2.52, which compares to 2015 EPS before charges/gains of $2.07.
“Entering 2016, our annual outlook calls for strong performance similar to 2015, based on solid execution and market growth much like 2015,” said Klein. “We believe we are well-positioned to continue to leverage our structural competitive advantages and drive profitable growth well into the future. Importantly, we also remain sharply focused on driving incremental shareholder value with our cash flow and balance sheet.”
The Company expects to generate free cash flow of approximately $350 – $375 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) plus proceeds from the exercise of stock options. It additionally excludes payments of transaction costs related to the Norcraft acquisition as well as payments of taxes and transaction costs on the discontinued operation of the Simonton window business. 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. |

| (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. | |
| (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: | |
