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 ended September 30, 2022.

“Our latest financial results for the fourth quarter complete a challenging year for our business where we faced high input cost inflation, supply chain disruptions, and cost headwinds related to currency changes. We were further challenged by retailers' focus on reducing high inventory levels, which led to reduced replenishment orders. Reported net sales declined 1.1% or 7.3% organically, excluding the impact of fx and acquisition. The results were also impacted by a stronger U.S. dollar that led to unfavorable translation impact both versus last year and compared to our expectations. The cost reduction actions we initiated during the previous quarter are continuing and are partly offsetting the impact of the sales decline. We are also implementing further price increases around the globe to help offset the additional pressure from the strengthening U.S. dollar,” said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.

Continuing, Mr. Maura commented, “The team and I are excited for fiscal 2023 as this year we will transform our capital structure, and grow profitability in all our business units. In light of the macro-economic trends I highlighted, we have shifted our focus towards maximizing free cash flow and deleveraging the balance sheet. We are seeing tangible benefits from this shift as we reduced inventory by over $100 million during the fourth quarter, including HHI. Although we expect the difficult macro-economic environment to continue in fiscal 2023, we have taken all the right actions to set ourselves up for success. We are targeting low-single digit net sales growth and low double-digit EBITDA growth for fiscal 2023. I am excited that the Company has already turned a corner on improving our working capital performance as we plan to further reduce our inventory by another $200 million plus during this fiscal year, including HHI. We will maintain our focus on reducing working capital, strengthening our balance sheet, generating cash and reducing our leverage as we prepare for a period of low demand growth and higher interest rates. With respect to our strategic transformation, we expect to win the DOJ lawsuit, close the HHI transaction and collect $4.3 billion of cash by no later than June 2023."

• Net sales decreased 1.1%. Excluding the impact of $41.1 million of unfavorable foreign exchange rates and acquisition sales of $88.1 million, organic net sales decreased 7.3%. Net sales were significantly impacted by lower replenishment orders due to higher retail inventory, softer demand, negative foreign currency impact in international markets, and unfavorable weather conditions.

• The gross profit and margin decrease of 210 basis points were attributable to sales volume decline, increased costs due to unfavorable foreign currency impact and continued higher short-term supply chain related costs, while price is offsetting commodity and freight inflation.

• Operating income increased due to the impact of cost reduction initiatives, lower project spend on integration and lower variable incentive and stock compensation compared to the prior year.

• Net income and diluted earnings per share decreased due to higher interest cost, foreign currency losses and higher income tax expense.

• Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.4 million, primarily driven by reduced sales volumes and unfavorable currency impact.

• Adjusted diluted EPS increased 26.3% due to increased operating income and a lower number of outstanding shares.

The increase in net sales was driven by Tristar business acquisition sales of $88.1 million. Net of acquisition and significant unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $24.8 million, organic net sales declined by $27.7 million, or 9.0%. The reduction was predominantly driven by the slowdown in replenishment orders due to higher retailer inventory and continued softer category POS for kitchen appliances and personal care. Sales in the garment care category grew due to strong category performance and market share gains.

Operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins increased with improved pricing that now largely offsets current inflationary costs, better product mix partially from the acquisition of the Tristar business, and cost reduction initiatives to lower overall operating spend that were initiated earlier in the year, with significant unfavorable foreign currency impact mitigating margin realization.

Global Pet Care (GPC)

		Three Month Periods Ended
(in millions, except %)		September 30, 2022				September 30, 2021				Variance
Net Sales		$	287.8			$	303.6			$	(15.8	)			(5.2	)%
Operating Income			26.2				28.1				(1.9	)			(6.8	)%
Operating Income Margin			9.1	%			9.3	%			(20	)		bps
Adjusted EBITDA		$	48.4			$	53.6			$	(5.2	)			(9.7	)%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin			16.8	%			17.7	%			(90	)		bps

Lower net sales were attributable to negative foreign currency trends in EMEA, high inventory levels at retail and pet specialty channels and slower aquatic equipment POS which was offset by price increases to address higher costs. Excluding unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $16.3 million, organic net sales increased 0.2%. The business gained share in the core category of chews and treats despite slowing category demand as fill rates continued to improve. While the aquatics equipment category declined, consumable aquatic products grew year over year.

The decrease in operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins was driven by lower sales volume and significant unfavorable foreign currency impact, predominantly in EMEA. Pricing now largely offsets freight and other input cost inflation in the quarter. The reduction in operating and adjusted EBITDA margins was partially mitigated by operating cost reductions including the benefit of fixed cost reduction initiatives during the third quarter.

Home & Garden (H&G)

		Three Month Periods Ended
(in millions, except %)		September 30, 2022				September 30, 2021				Variance
Net Sales		$	116.8			$	144.9			$	(28.1	)			(19.4	)%
Operating Income			6.4				12.5				(6.1	)			(48.8	)%
Operating Income Margin			5.5	%			8.6	%			(310	)		bps
Adjusted EBITDA		$	13.1			$	25.4			$	(12.3	)			(48.4	)%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin			11.2	%			17.5	%			(630	)		bps

The net sales decrease was primarily driven by slow category POS leading to higher retailer inventory and reduced replenishment orders. Excessive heat and drought conditions during the quarter reduced the demand for repellent products. Retailers also experienced lower foot traffic in home centers, which adversely impacted sales across all categories. Pricing adjustments to address inflationary input costs are mitigating the impact of lower volume on net sales.

Lower operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins were driven by lower volumes and related fixed cost absorption losses partially offset by the impact of cost-saving actions initiated during the previous quarter.

Liquidity and Debt

As of the end of the fiscal year, the Company had a cash balance of $244 million and approximately $3,194 million of debt outstanding, consisting of approximately $1,967 million of senior unsecured notes, $1,134 million of term loans and revolver draws and approximately $93 million of finance leases and other obligations.

Proforma net leverage at the end of the fourth quarter was 5.4 times, consistent with the previous quarter. The Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement to temporarily increase the maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted from 6.0 to 1.0 to be no greater than 7.0 to 1.0 until the earliest of (i) September 29, 2023, or (ii) 10 business days after the closing of the HHI divestiture or the receipt of the related termination fee.

Fiscal 2023 Earnings Framework

Spectrum Brands expects low single-digit reported net sales growth in Fiscal 2023, with foreign exchange expected to have a negative impact based upon current rates. Fiscal 2023 adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase by low double-digits.

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 sale 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.

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 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, 2022 compared to reported net sales for the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2021.

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:

• Share based compensation costs consist of costs associated with long-term incentive compensation arrangements that generally consist of non-cash, share-based compensation. During the twelve month period ended September 30, 2021, compensation costs included incentive bridge awards previously issued due to changes in the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan that allowed for cash based payment upon employee election but do not qualify for shared-based compensation, which were fully vested in November 2020;

• Incremental amounts attributable to strategic transactions and business development initiatives including, but not limited to, the acquisition or divestitures of a business, costs to effect and facilitate a transaction, including such cost to integrate or separate the respective business. These amounts are excluded from our performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards business development activities, incremental costs attributable to such transactions and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;

• Incremental amounts realized towards restructuring and optimization projects including, but not limited to, costs towards the development and implementation of strategies to optimize operations and improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase revenues, increase or maintain our current profit margins, including recognition of one-time exit or disposal costs. These amounts are excluded from our ongoing performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards significant initiatives controlled by management, incremental costs directly attributable to such initiatives, indirect impact or disruption to operating performance during implementation, and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;

• Unallocated shared costs associated with discontinued operations from certain shared and center-led administrative functions 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, transition services agreements, elimination of extraneous costs, or re-allocations or absorption of existing continuing operations following the completed sale of the discontinued operations;

• Non-cash purchase accounting adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition, including, but not limited to, the costs attributable to the step-up in inventory value and the incremental value in operating lease assets with below market rent, among others;

• Non-cash gain from the remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability recognized during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2022 associated with the Tristar Business acquisition;

• Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations;

• Gains attributable to the Company's investment in Energizer common stock during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2021 with such remaining shares sold in January 2021;

• Incremental reserves for non-recurring litigation or environmental remediation activity including the 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 three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021;

• Early settlement on certain foreign currency cash flow hedges in our EMEA region prior to their stated maturity due to changes in the Company's legal entity organizational structure and forecasted purchasing strategy of HPC finished goods within the region, resulting in the recognition of realized gains during the third quarter ended July 3, 2022, plus the pro forma effect of assumed losses following the early settlement date for the subsequent settlement periods through the original stated maturities;

• Incremental costs recognized by the HPC segment attributable to the realization of product recalls initiated by the Company during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2022; and

• Other adjustments are primarily attributable to (1) costs associated with Salus as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company and (2) other key executive severance related costs, (3) asset write-off for exit of certain GPC brands within China during the three and twelve month period ended September 30, 2022, and (4) write-off of cost based investment previously held by the GPC segment during the three and twelve month period ended September 30, 2022.

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

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 amounts attributable to strategic transactions and business development initiatives including, but not limited to, the acquisition or divestitures of a business, costs to effect and facilitate a transaction, including such cost to integrate or separate the respective business. These amounts are excluded from our performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards business development activities, incremental costs attributable to such transactions and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;

• Incremental amounts realized towards restructuring and optimization projects including, but not limited to, costs towards the development and implementation of strategies to optimize operations and improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase revenues, increase or maintain our current profit margins, including recognition of one-time exit or disposal costs. These amounts are excluded from our ongoing performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards significant initiatives controlled by management, incremental costs directly attributable to such initiatives, indirect impact or disruption to operating performance during implementation, and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;

• Unallocated shared costs associated with discontinued operations from certain shared and center-led administrative functions 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, transition services agreements, elimination of extraneous costs, or re-allocations or absorption of existing continuing operations following the completed sale of the discontinued operations;

• Non-cash purchase accounting adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition, including, but not limited to, the costs attributable to the step-up in inventory value and the incremental value in operating lease assets with below market rent, among others;

• Non-cash gain from the remeasurement of the contingent consideration liability recognized during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2022 associated with the Tristar Business acquisition;

• Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations;

• Gains attributable to the Company's investment in Energizer common stock during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2021 with such remaining shares sold in January 2021;

• Incremental reserves for non-recurring litigation or environmental remediation activity including the 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 three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021;

• Early settlement on certain foreign currency cash flow hedges in our EMEA region prior to their stated maturity due to changes in the Company's legal entity organizational structure and forecasted purchasing strategy of HPC finished goods inventory within the region, resulting in the recognition of realized gains during the third quarter ended July 3, 2022, plus the pro forma effect of assumed losses following the early settlement date for the subsequent settlement periods through the original stated maturities;

• Incremental costs recognized by the HPC segment attributable to the realization of product recalls initiated by the Company during the three and twelve month periods ended September 30, 2022;

• Incremental interest costs recognized for the extinguishment of the 6.625% Notes, including the cash payment for premium from early extinguishment and non-cash write-off of debt issuance costs during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2021;

• Other adjustments are primarily attributable to (1) costs associated with Salus as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company and (2) other key executive severance related costs, (3) asset write-off for exit of certain GPC brands within China during the three and twelve month period ended September 30, 2022, and (4) write-off of cost based investment previously held by the GPC segment during the three and twelve month period ended September 30, 2022; and

• 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, 2022 and September 30, 2021 based upon enacted corporate tax rate in the United States.
