MIDDLETON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB; “Spectrum Brands” or the “Company”), a leading global branded consumer products and home essentials company focused on driving innovation and providing exceptional customer service, today reported results from continuing operations for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2020 ended September 30, 2020.

“Our Q4 and full year financial results reflect a better, faster and stronger Spectrum Brands, with net sales, operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth. During the quarter, our net sales accelerated as we grew 17.9%, with strong growth across all business units. These top line results reflect elevated demand levels, with strong POS and improved output. This is evidence of our quick recovery from COVID-19 related supply disruptions earlier in the year. Additionally, our incremental marketing and advertising investments are paying dividends by driving stronger organic top line growth. Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA growth was driven by strong volumes and improved gross margins. Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 2020 includes a change to our annual incentive compensation program converting to cash payment from a mix of equity and cash in order to better align with industry best practices and our peer group. This change negatively impacts comparability, with $17 million in incremental corporate expense in the quarter. If not for the change, we would have delivered $190 million in adjusted EBITDA this quarter and $597 million in the full year,” said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.

“We believe we are better positioned today than we have ever been to drive demand as a home essentials company with consumers needing our brands and products more than ever. Additionally, with the supply chain disruptions from COVID-19 earlier in 2020 largely behind us, momentum in the business remains strong, and with continued strong demand in October, fiscal 2021 is off to a great start,” said Mr. Maura.

• Net sales increased 17.9%. Excluding the impact of $4.2 million of favorable foreign exchange rates and acquisition sales of $3.8 million, organic net sales increased 17.1%, with growth across all four business units.
• Gross profit margin increased 240 basis points, driven by improved productivity from our Global Productivity Improvement Program (GPIP), favorable pricing and mix.
• Operating income growth compared to the prior year was driven by improved volumes and profit margins and lower restructuring spending, as well as no impairment charges in the current year period.
• Net income and diluted earnings per share increases were driven by the operating income growth and lower shares outstanding.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.2 million, primarily driven by volume growth, as well as productivity improvements and positive pricing. By business unit, the adjusted EBITDA growth was driven by HHI, GPC and Home & Garden. Adjusted EBITDA also increased despite a change to incentive compensation program, which resulted in a $17 million reduction of consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $17.0 million for FY 2020 and Q4 2020. This change will have a corresponding reduction in the Company’s annual equity compensation expense, resulting in a net neutral impact on the Company’s annual compensation expense.
• Adjusted diluted EPS increased 52.2% due to favorable volumes, improved productivity and positive product mix.
• Full year Cash Flow From Operations was $290.3 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $254.0 million.
• Increased the total gross savings target from the entirety of the Global Productivity Improvement Program (GPIP) to $150 million (previously at least $100 million).
• The Company sold 1.5 million shares of Energizer common stock during the quarter for proceeds of $67.4 million and ended the quarter with approximately 1.7 million shares.

Net sales were driven by growth across all categories during the quarter. Security sales growth was driven by strong consumer demand and stronger shipment of backlog orders. Builders hardware and plumbing category performance continued to be driven by elevated demand from the repair and remodel channel. Organic net sales increased 18.7% with slightly favorable foreign exchange impacts. Customer demand in security remains strong, and the Company expects continued benefit from backlog shipments for the upcoming quarter.

Higher operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins were primarily driven by positive volumes, as well as productivity improvements, favorable mix and pricing, partially offset by higher tariff and COVID-19 related costs.

Net sales were driven by growth in both small appliances and personal care. This included strong net sales growth in the U.S. from e-commerce and mass channels and small appliances category performance, with continued strength in convenience cooking including new product introductions from George Foreman grills. Excluding favorable foreign exchange impacts of $0.5 million, organic net sales grew 5.6%.

Improved operating income benefited from no impairment charges in the current year period. Operating income, as well as lower adjusted EBITDA and margins were driven by more than doubling our advertisement and promotional investments, as well as higher tariff and legal costs. This was partially offset by improved productivity and higher volumes.

Higher net sales were attributable to continued growth in both aquatic and companion animal categories. Companion animal performance was driven by strong consumables demand in the dollar, mass and e-commerce channels, while aquatics was driven by broad based demand across all aquatics categories, including significant demand for hard goods. Excluding favorable foreign exchange impacts of $3.2 million and acquisition sales of $3.8 million, organic net sales grew 18.5%.

Higher operating income and adjusted EBITDA were driven by volume growth, productivity improvements and positive pricing, partially offset by additional marketing investments and higher volume driven tariff costs. Operating income growth also benefited from the write-off of intangible assets realized in the prior year and lower restructuring costs.

Net sales grew across all three major categories - controls, household insecticides and repellents and benefited from strong point of sale and replenishment as retailers supported the extended selling season.

Higher operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins were driven by higher volumes, pricing, and productivity improvements, despite significantly higher marketing investments and higher manufacturing and distribution costs.

Liquidity and Debt

As of the end of the fiscal year, the Company had a cash balance of $531.6 million and approximately $579 million available on its $600 million Cash Flow Revolver.

The Company had approximately $2,512.8 million of debt outstanding, consisting of approximately $2,349.1 million of senior unsecured notes and approximately $163.7 million of finance leases and other obligations.

Net leverage improved to 3.4 times at the end of the fiscal fourth quarter from 3.95 times at the end of the previous quarter.

Fiscal 2021 Outlook

Spectrum Brands expects three to five percent reported net sales growth, with foreign exchange expected to have a slightly positive impact based upon current rates.

Fiscal 2021 adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase mid single-digits. Adjusted free cash flow is expected to be between $250 million and $270 million, with strategic investments in inventory levels and other working capital needs for the upcoming year.

Non-GAAP Measurements

Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in providing additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. Management believes that organic net sales provide for a more complete understanding of underlying business trends of regional and segment performance by excluding the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations and the impact of acquisitions. In addition, within this release, including the supplemental information attached hereto, reference is made to adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to evaluate segment performance and frequently used by the financial community which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA also is one of the measures used for determining compliance with the Company’s debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales of the Company. The Company’s management uses adjusted diluted EPS as one means of analyzing the Company’s current and future financial performance and identifying trends in its financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that adjusted diluted EPS is a useful measure for providing further insight into our operating performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. An income tax adjustment is included in adjusted diluted EPS to exclude the impact of the valuation allowance against deferred taxes and other tax-related items in order to reflect a normalized ongoing effective tax rate. The Company provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While the Company’s management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results. Other Supplemental Information has been provided to demonstrate reconciliation of non-GAAP measurements discussed above to most relevant GAAP financial measurements.

ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS

We define adjusted diluted EPS as reported diluted EPS excluding the effect of one-time, non-recurring activity and volatility associated with our income tax expense. The Company believes that adjusted diluted EPS provides further insight and comparability in operating performance as it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. Adjustments to diluted EPS include the following:

• Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with the restructuring initiatives across the Company's segments;
• Transaction related charges that consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, including development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of transition service arrangements (TSAs) and reverse TSAs;
• Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock, acquired as part of consideration received from the Company’s sale and divestiture of GAC during the year ended September 30, 2019;
• Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable);
• Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);
• Foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans for the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company and the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestitures during the year ended September 30, 2019. The Company has entered into various hedging arrangements to mitigate the volatility of foreign exchange risk associated with such loans;
• Legal and litigation costs associated with Salus during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company, but continue to be consolidated by the Company until the Salus operations can be wholly dissolved and/or deconsolidated;
• Incremental interest costs recognized for the extinguishment of the 6.625% Notes, including the cash payment of premium from early extinguishment and non-cash write-off of debt issuance costs during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2020;
• Gain on extinguishment of the Salus CLO debt due to the discharge of the obligation during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2020; and
• Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at Company facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019; (2) incremental costs for separation of a key executive during the twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019; (3) incremental costs associated with a safety recall in GPC during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2019; (4) operating margin on H&G sales to GAC discontinued operations during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2019; and (5) certain fines and penalties for delayed shipments following the completion of a GPC distribution center consolidation in EMEA during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2019.

Income tax adjustment to diluted EPS is to exclude the impact of adjusting the valuation allowance against deferred taxes and other tax related items in order to reflect a normalized ongoing effective tax rate of 25.0% for the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 based upon enacted corporate tax rate in the United States.

We define organic net sales as reported net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and acquisitions. We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rate and/or acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to reported net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’s net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior period. The following is a reconciliation of reported sales to organic sales for the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 compared to reported net sales for the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2019:

ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN

Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization) is a non-GAAP metric used by management that we believe provides useful information to investors because it reflects ongoing operating performance and trends of our segments excluding certain non-cash based expenses and/or non-recurring items during each of the comparable periods and facilitates comparisons between peer companies since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Further, adjusted EBITDA is a measure used for determining the Company’s debt covenant. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the following:

• Stock based and other incentive compensation costs that consist of costs associated with long-term compensation arrangements and other equity based compensation based upon achievement of long-term performance metrics; and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the year ending September 30, 2019, the Company issued certain incentive bridge awards due to changes in the Company’s long-term compensation plans that allow for cash based payment upon employee election which have been included in the adjustment but do not qualify for shared-based compensation;
• Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with the restructuring initiatives across the Company's segments;
• Transaction related charges that consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, including development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of transition service arrangements (TSAs) and reverse TSAs;
• Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock, acquired as part of consideration received from the Company’s sale and divestiture of GAC during the year ended September 30, 2019;
• Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable);
• Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);
• Foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans for the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company and the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestitures during the year ended September 30, 2019. The Company has entered into various hedging arrangements to mitigate the volatility of foreign exchange risk associated with such loans;
• Legal and litigation costs associated with Salus during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company, but continue to be consolidated by the Company until the Salus operations can be wholly dissolved and/or deconsolidated;
• Gain on extinguishment of the Salus CLO debt due to the discharge of the obligation during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2020; and
• Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at Company facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019; (2) incremental costs for separation of a key executive during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019; (3) incremental costs associated with a safety recall in GPC during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2019; (4) operating margin on H&G sales to GAC discontinued operations during the three and twelve month period ended September 30, 2019; and (5) certain fines and penalties for delayed shipments following the completion of a GPC distribution center consolidation in EMEA during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of reported net sales for the respective periods.

Compensation Program Change

During the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company made a change to its annual management incentive plans ("MIP") payout that previously provided for the issuance of stock for a designated pool of recipients in lieu of cash. The annual MIP payout will instead be fully funded through cash distributions with no stock issuance. Our operating performance metric of Adjusted EBITDA excludes any consideration for stock-based compensation expense. Due to the change in the form of payout, there was a reduction to our stock-based compensation and adjusted EBITDA for the three month and fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 of $17.0 million. For comparative purposes for the three month period and year ended September 30, 2020 respective of the prior period, we have included the following pro forma adjusted EBITDA results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended September 30, 2020. The following table reflects the pro forma compensation program change as if the $17.0 million was paid in stock and excluded from Adjusted EBITDA consistent to the prior period.

The Company has historically recognized all stock based compensation as a corporate cost and continued to do so for purposes of reporting adjusted EBITDA within the consolidated group. With the compensation program change described above, the Company maintained the compensation expense as a component of Corporate within the quarter and did not reflect the incremental change in the Segment EBITDA above.

Compensation Program Change (continued)

The program change is expected to continue into fiscal 2021 and beyond. Any MIP payouts in future periods are expected to be paid in cash and reflected as a reduction to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Beginning in fiscal 2021, the Company will recognize a portion of the MIP compensation as a component of the segment EBITDA which may impact comparability of segment results in subsequent quarterly results during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021.
