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 third quarter of fiscal 2022 ended July 3, 2022.

"On the strategic side, we continue to execute on our objective to close the $4.3 billion sale of our HHI business to ASSA ABLOY as both parties remain confident and committed to closing this transaction. We have also accelerated integration of Tristar into our Home and Personal Care Appliances business, renamed that business "Empower Brands" and recently completed the carve out work necessary to separate this business. These actions further our strategic objectives of recasting our company into a pure play Global Pet Care and Home and Garden company. On the operations side, we delivered top-line growth this quarter despite some challenging customer dynamics. We entered the third quarter with optimism after implementing the necessary pricing actions to restore our margin structure. However, during the quarter our retail partners experienced rapidly changing consumer behavior as well as reduced foot traffic in home center channels while their inventory levels were 30-40 percent higher than a year ago levels. Additionally, we continued to experience challenging weather conditions in our Home & Garden business, which negatively impacted consumer demand and retailer replenishment. The unprecedented negative demand shocks and the unfavorable weather conditions materially reduced our planned sales for the quarter and led to our own inventory levels being higher than expected. This in turn led to higher demurrage, detention and storage costs in the short-term that further pressured our margins in the quarter," said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.

"Given these drastic changes in the operating environment, we pivoted our operating strategy to reduce our own inventory levels and run the operations to maximize cash flow over earnings, despite the negative impact it has on margins in the short term. We have also taken swift actions to eliminate 17% of our global salaried positions during the quarter that will drive over $30 million in annualized savings. Given our third quarter results and our short term focus on maximizing cash flow over earnings, we are updating our 2022 earnings framework. We are now expecting mid-single digits sales growth with mid-twenties EBITDA decline for the full year of fiscal 22. Despite these near-term HEADWINDS, our businesses remain competitively positioned and we continue to believe that the Company has an earnings power of over $400 million of Adjusted EBITDA for our continuing operations," said Mr. Maura.

• Net sales increased 10.0%. Excluding the impact of $29.5 million of unfavorable foreign exchange rates and acquisition sales of $71.3 million, organic net sales increased 4.4% from pricing actions related to inflationary costs and improved fulfillment despite reduced consumer POS, high retail inventory levels and replenishment order headwinds.

• Gross profit margin declined 160 basis points from a year ago as pricing now exceeds inflation dollars but not covering margin percent, as well as increased supply chain costs from higher inventory and continued supply chain challenges.

• Operating income increased from a $25.0 million gain on contingent consideration liability associated with the Tristar Business acquisition offset by the gross profit margin decline, higher distribution costs, and increased investment in restructuring, optimization and strategic transaction initiatives.

• Net income and diluted earnings per share increases were primarily driven by the increase in operating income.

• Adjusted EBITDA decreased 19.4% and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 360 basis points attributable to the decrease in volume and higher supply chain costs.

• Adjusted diluted EPS decreased to $0.54 per share due to lower Adjusted EBITDA.

The increase in net sales was primarily driven by acquisition sales from the home appliances and cookware business from Tristar Products, Inc. (the "Tristar Business") of $65.8 million with significant unfavorable foreign currency impact of $17.8 million. Excluding acquisition sales and unfavorable exchange impacts, organic net sales increased 2.5% mainly driven by favorable impact of price increases. Continued momentum resulting in double digit growth in garment care and growth in personal care appliances categories more than offset the decline in small kitchen appliances categories.

The increase in operating income and margin was driven by the recognition of a $25.0 million gain for the contingent consideration liability associated with the Tristar Business acquisition offset by incremental restructuring and integration related costs. The reduction in adjusted EBITDA and margins was driven by unfavorable foreign currency and incremental distribution and inventory management costs due to continued supply chain challenges.

Global Pet Care (GPC)

		Three Month Periods Ended
(in millions, except %)		July 3, 2022				July 4, 2021				Variance
Net sales		$	290.2			$	257.3			$	32.9			12.8	%
Operating income			19.9				27.8				(7.9	)		(28.4	) %
Operating income margin			6.9	%			10.8	%			(390	)	bps
Adjusted EBITDA		$	40.9			$	49.2			$	(8.3	)		(16.9	) %
Adjusted EBITDA margin			14.1	%			19.1	%			(500	)	bps

The increase in net sales was driven by positive pricing adjustments on inflationary costs as well as improving product availability and fulfillment compared to prior year supply chain challenges. Strong performance in companion animal consumables was offset by softness in aquatics systems and equipment. European sales were adversely impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange rates. Adjusted for unfavorable foreign currency, European sales were flat to prior year despite pressure on consumers from high inflation and impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Overall, organic net sales increased 17.3%, excluding unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $11.7 million.

Lower operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and margins were driven by unfavorable foreign currency and product mix. There were also increased distribution center investments as the distribution footprint was expanded to support higher inventory to continue to drive customer fill rates. Pricing is now nearly offsetting increased freight and input cost inflation, which was in line with expectation. All planned price increases were implemented by the middle of the third quarter. At this point, price is covering against all current inflationary cost increases and these costs are expected to stabilize.

Home & Garden (H&G)

		Three Month Periods Ended
(in millions, except %)		July 3, 2022				July 4, 2021				Variance
Net sales		$	198.5			$	212.1			$	(13.6	)		(6.4	) %
Operating income			36.2				41.7				(5.5	)		(13.2	) %
Operating income margin			18.2	%			19.7	%			(150	)	bps
Adjusted EBITDA		$	42.8			$	53.4			$	(10.6	)		(19.9	) %
Adjusted EBITDA margin			21.6	%			25.2	%			(360	)	bps

The net sales decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable weather conditions across the U.S. with a cold, wet start to the quarter and drought conditions during late quarter. Adverse weather conditions drove reduction in category POS and reduced retailer replenishment, most significantly with the repellent product category. The volume decline was partially offset by positive price increases and Rejuvenate acquisition sales of $5.5 million. Organic net sales decreased 9.0% excluding the impact of acquisition sales.

Operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins decreases were driven by the reduced volumes, related absorption loses and unfavorable product mix. Higher freight and input cost inflation was in line with expectations and were more than offset by the impact of pricing actions in place by the end of the second quarter.

Liquidity and Debt

As of the end of the quarter, the Company had a cash balance of $248 million and approximately $3,261 million of debt outstanding, consisting of approximately $1,996 million of senior unsecured notes, $1,170 million of term loans and revolver draws and approximately $95 million of capital leases and other obligations.

Proforma net leverage at the end of the third quarter was 5.4 times, compared to 5.2 times at the end of the previous quarter.

Fiscal 2022 Earnings Framework

Although the business sales mix is expected to shift sequentially, in aggregate the fourth quarter EBITDA is expected to remain relatively flat to third quarter and prior year fourth quarter EBITDA. The fourth quarter top line is now expected to grow mid-single digit over prior year. This implies mid-single digit top line growth with mid-twenties EBITDA decline for the fiscal year 22.

From a capital structure perspective, the Company is reiterating a long-term net leverage target 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.

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 nine month period ended July 3, 2022 compared to reported net sales for the three and nine month periods ended July 4, 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 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 compensation costs consist of costs associated with long-term incentive compensation arrangements that generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the nine month period ended July 4, 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 reduction in the contingent consideration liability recognized during the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 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 nine month period ended July 4, 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 nine month period ended July 4, 2021 and the subsequent remeasurement during the nine month period ended July 3, 2022;

• Proforma adjustment for operating losses of the Company's in-country Russia operations that were directly attributable to the Company's closing initiatives in Russia and constraints applied to the in-country commercial operations resulting in a substantial decrease to in-country sales and incremental operating losses being realized;

• Realized gain from early settlement on certain cash flow hedges in our EMEA region prior to their stated maturity during the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2022 due to change in the Company's legal entity organizational structure and forecasted purchasing strategy of HPC finished goods inventory within the region; 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.

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 earnings per share (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 reduction in the contingent consideration liability recognized during the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 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 nine month period ended July 4, 2021 with such remaining shares sold in January 2021;

• Proforma adjustment for operating losses of the Company's in-country Russia operations that were directly attributable to the Company's closing initiatives in Russia and constraints applied to the in-country commercial operations resulting in a substantial decrease to in-country sales and incremental operating losses being realized;

• Realized gain from early settlement on certain cash flow hedges in our EMEA region prior to their stated maturity during the three and nine month periods ended July 3, 2022 due to change in the Company's legal entity organizational structure and forecasted purchasing strategy of HPC finished goods inventory within the region;

• 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 nine month period ended July 4, 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; 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 nine month periods ended July 3, 2022 and July 4, 2021 based upon enacted corporate tax rate in the United States.
