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 2021 ended September 30, 2021.

“We again delivered top- and bottom-line growth this quarter. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange and acquisitions, organic sales decreased 3.4% as we compare results to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, which was an exceptionally high sales quarter due to recovery from COVID-driven supply disruptions in Q3 FY20. And as a reminder, we had 6 fewer shipping days in the fourth quarter vs. the same period a year ago. The decrease in shipping days as well as the ongoing pandemic related global supply chain disruptions adversely impacted our sales in the quarter. However, compared to the more normal operating environment of our fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, these results actually represent double digit organic sales growth,” said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.

“Combined results for total Spectrum Brands including HHI on a comparable basis to last year saw net income increase by $91.1 million from $98.5 million to $189.6 million. Combined results including HHI consistent with our Fiscal 2021 Earnings Framework were in line with our earnings framework of mid-teen top line growth with revenue accelerating 16.4%, and we delivered total Adjusted EBITDA growth in the high teens at 18.8%. We also delivered adjusted free cash flow of $273 million as compared to our earnings framework of $260 million to $280 million. We are extremely pleased to report that we grew revenue by $650 million this fiscal year and grew our Adjusted EBITDA by $109 million, delivering on the Earnings Framework we communicated to our shareholders in a very challenging operating environment, and are proud of our global team for making it happen. Also, from a capital allocation perspective, we repurchased 1.6 million shares of our common stock for $125.8 million,” stated Mr. Maura.

Continuing, Mr. Maura commented, “Fiscal 2021 has also been a transformative year for the Company as we have completed a number of strategic transactions. In addition to tuck-in acquisitions in our Global Pet Care and our Home & Garden businesses, as we have previously disclosed, we have entered into an agreement to sell our HHI business for $4.3 billion to ASSA ABLOY. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals in the US and abroad, all of which are advancing along nicely. Moving to our high level fiscal 2022 earnings framework, we will continue to focus on executing our winning playbook and expect to grow the top-line in the mid to high single digits and adjusted EBITDA in the low single digits. This is after absorbing an expected additional level of inflation of around $230 to $250 million. We expect the current step up in inflationary pressures to continue into FY22 and that the year-over-year impact will be more acute in the first half of the year. We have implemented price increases in fiscal 2021 and have put in place further price actions in the first half of this year to counter these headwinds.”

• Net sales increased 2.8%. Excluding the impact of $5.1 million of favorable foreign exchange rates and acquisition sales of $41.2 million, organic net sales decreased 3.4%, as Q4 FY20 was an exceptionally high sales quarter for both Global Pet Care (GPC) and Home & Garden (H&G) due to recovery after COVID driven supply disruption in Q3 FY20. HPC registered another quarter of growth. We also had 6 fewer shipping days in Q4 FY21 compared to Q4 FY20.
• Gross profit margin decreased 40.0 basis points from commodity and freight inflation partially offset by favorable pricing, mix and improved productivity from the Company’s Global Productivity Improvement Program (GPIP).
• Operating income decline compared to the prior year was driven by higher restructuring and transaction related expenses.
• Net income and diluted earnings per share increased due to a tax benefit driven primarily by the release of certain valuation allowances.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased $6.2 million, primarily driven by volume growth from acquisitions, as well as productivity improvements and positive pricing partially offsetting margin pressure from commodity and freight inflation.
• Adjusted diluted EPS decreased 2.6% due to lower operating income.
• Full year operating cash flow was $288 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $273 million.
• During the quarter, the Company repurchased 747,500 shares for $70.2 million. The Company also entered into a $150 million 10b5-1 share repurchase contract, of which $16 million was executed in the quarter.

Net sales were driven by a continued recovery in hair and garment appliances offsetting decline in small kitchen appliances, primarily due to global supply chain delays. The U.S. markets were most acutely impacted by transportation delays, but this was offset by strong growth in EMEA and Latin America. Excluding favorable foreign exchange impacts of $3.7 million, organic net sales grew 1.1%.

Operating income was adversely impacted by accelerated amortization in the current year period related to the exit of a non-strategic personal care product line. Lower operating income, as well as lower adjusted EBITDA and margins, were driven by increased freight expense, investments in marketing and advertising, and input cost inflation. This was partially offset by pricing actions, higher volumes and productivity improvements.

Global Pet Care (GPC)

		Three Month Periods Ended
(in millions, except %)		September 30, 2021				September 30, 2020				Variance
Net Sales		$	303.6			$	278.3			$	25.3				9.1	%

Adjusted EBITDA Margin		17.7		%		17.9		%		(20		)		bps

Higher net sales were attributable to continued growth in the companion animal category from the impact of acquisition. Companion animal performance was driven by strong consumables demand across multiple channels. Excluding favorable foreign exchange impacts of $1.4 million and acquisition sales of $26.0 million, organic net sales declined 0.8% mainly due to reduction in equipment sales in the aquatics category. Aquatics consumables demand continues to be strong.

Operating income was adversely impacted by higher restructuring costs related to US distribution center transition and integration costs related to acquired businesses. Higher adjusted EBITDA was driven by volume growth from acquisition, productivity improvements and positive pricing, partially offset by freight and commodity inflation.

Home & Garden (H&G)

		Three Month Periods Ended
(in millions, except %)		September 30, 2021				September 30, 2020				Variance
Net Sales		$	144.9			$	156.3			$	(11.4	)			(7.3	)%

Adjusted EBITDA Margin		17.5		%		20.2		%		(270		)		bps

Net sales declined across controls, household insecticides and repellents as the prior year was historically high driven by recovery after COVID-19 driven supply disruption in Q3 FY20. This was compounded by 6 fewer shipping days in Q4 FY21. Sales from the Rejuvenate acquisition offset a portion of the sales decline. Excluding the impact of acquisition sales of $15.2 million, organic net sales declined 17.0%. Sales are 27.8% ahead of a more normal Q4 FY19 driven by organic growth from strong consumer demand.

Lower operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins were driven by lower volumes and higher manufacturing and distribution costs partially offset by pricing and productivity improvements.

Liquidity and Debt

As of the end of the fiscal year, the Company had a cash balance of $187.9 million and approximately $575 million available on its $600 million Cash Flow Revolver.

The Company had approximately $2,542.8 million of debt outstanding, consisting of approximately $398.0 million of Term Loan Facility, $2,042.9 million of senior unsecured notes and approximately $101.9 million of finance leases and other obligations.

Net leverage improved to 3.5 times at the end of the fiscal fourth quarter from 3.6 times at the end of the previous quarter.

Fiscal 2022 Earnings Framework

Spectrum Brands expects mid to high single-digit reported net sales growth in Fiscal 2022, with foreign exchange expected to have a slightly positive impact based upon current rates.

Fiscal 2022 adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase low-single digits. Spectrum Brands expects $230-$250 million of additional inflation during Fiscal 2022.

From a capital structure perspective, the Company is targeting a long-term net leverage ratio of 2.0 - 2.5 times after full deployment of HHI proceeds.

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:

• 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, 2021;
• 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 acquisitions or subsequent project costs directly associated with integration of an acquired business with the consolidated group; and (2) transaction costs from divestitures and subsequent project costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, including development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred, and exiting of transition service arrangements (TSAs) and reverse TSAs;
• Unallocated shared costs associated with discontinued operations from certain shared and center-led administrative functions supporting the Company's business units excluded from income from discontinued operations as they are not a direct cost of the discontinued business but a result of indirect allocations, including but not limited to, information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, supply chain, and commercial operations. Amounts attributable to unallocated shared costs would be mitigated through subsequent strategic or restructuring initiatives, TSAs, elimination of extraneous costs or re-allocation or absorption by existing continuing operations following the completed sale of the discontinued operations;
• Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold its remaining shares in Energizer common stock;
• Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations;
• Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition;
• Incremental reserves for non-recurring litigation or environmental remediation activity including proposed settlement on outstanding litigation matters at our H&G division attributable to significant and unusual nonrecurring claims with no previous history or precedent recognized during the year ended September 30, 2021;
• Incremental costs realized under a three-year tolling agreement entered into with the buyer in consideration with the divestiture of Coevorden Operations on March 29, 2020, for the continued production of dog and cat food products purchased to support GPC commercial operations and distribution in Europe;
• Gain on extinguishment of the Salus CLO debt due to the discharge of the obligation during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2020;
• Foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans for the year ended September 30, 2020 that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for the 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; and
• Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) incremental fines and penalties realized for delayed shipments following the transition of a third-party logistics service provider in GPC during the year ended September 30, 2021; (2) costs associated with Salus during the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 as they are not considered a component of continuing commercial products company; (3) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at the Company's facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin recognized during the year ended September 30, 2020; (4) incremental costs for separation of a key executives during the year ended September 30, 2020.

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, 2021 and September 30, 2020 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, 2021 compared to reported net sales for the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2020:

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 under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"); and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 other incentive compensation also includes incentive bridge awards issued due to changes in the Company's LTIP that allowed for cash based payment upon employee election but does not qualify for share-based compensation. All bridge awards fully vested in November 2020;
• 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 acquisitions or subsequent project costs directly associated with integration of an acquired business with the consolidated group; and (2) transaction costs from divestitures and subsequent project costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, including development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred, and exiting of transition service arrangements (TSAs) and reverse TSAs;
• Unallocated shared costs associated with discontinued operations from certain shared and center-led administrative functions supporting the Company's business units excluded from income from discontinued operations as they are not a direct cost of the discontinued business but a result of indirect allocations, including but not limited to, information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, supply chain, and commercial operations. Amounts attributable to unallocated shared costs would be mitigated through subsequent strategic or restructuring initiatives, TSAs, elimination of extraneous costs or re-allocation or absorption by existing continuing operations following the completed sale of the discontinued operations;
• Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold its remaining shares in Energizer common stock;
• Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations;
• Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition;
• Incremental reserves for non-recurring litigation or environmental remediation activity including proposed settlement on outstanding litigation matters at our H&G division attributable to significant and unusual nonrecurring claims with no previous history or precedent recognized during the year ended September 30, 2021;
• Incremental costs realized under a three-year tolling agreement entered into with the buyer in consideration with the divestiture of Coevorden Operations on March 29, 2020, for the continued production of dog and cat food products purchased to support GPC commercial operations and distribution in Europe;
• Gain on extinguishment of the Salus CLO debt due to the discharge of the obligation during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2020;
• Foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans for the year ended September 30, 2020 that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for the 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; and
• Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) incremental fines and penalties realized for delayed shipments following the transition of a third-party logistics service provider in GPC during the year ended September 30, 2021; (2) costs associated with Salus during the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 as they are not considered a component of continuing commercial products company; (3) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at the Company's facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin recognized during the year ended September 30, 2020; (4) incremental costs for separation of a key executives during the year ended September 30, 2020.

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