NEW BRITAIN, Conn., Aug. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK), a worldwide leader in tools and outdoor, today announced second quarter 2023 financial results.  

  • Second Quarter Revenues of $4.2 Billion, Down Versus Prior Year Due to Lower Consumer Outdoor and DIY Volume as well as the Oil & Gas Business Divestiture
  • Second Quarter Diluted GAAP EPS Was $1.18; Excluding Charges and Timing of Certain Tax Benefits, Second Quarter Adjusted Diluted EPS* Was ($0.11), as the Company Continues Prioritizing Inventory Reduction and Cash Generation
  • Free Cash Flow* in the Second Quarter was Approximately $200 Million Primarily Driven by Inventory Reduction
  • Narrowing 2023 Guidance Ranges With Full Year Diluted GAAP EPS of ($1.25) to ($0.50) (From ($1.65) to $0.60), Adjusted Diluted EPS* of $0.70 to $1.30 (From $0.00 to $2.00) and Free Cash Flow* to Approximate $0.6 Billion to $0.9 Billion (From $0.5 Billion to $1.0 Billion)

Donald Allan, Jr., Stanley Black & Decker's President & CEO, commented, "We continued to make significant progress against our strategic business transformation in the second quarter highlighted by strong execution against our cost savings program, continued inventory reduction, sequential gross margin improvement and numerous advances in our supply chain optimization initiative. While the operating backdrop remains dynamic with some underlying consumer softness, we continue to see strong demand in the professional construction, automotive and aerospace markets as well as further stabilization across global supply chains. 

"As we've transformed Stanley Black & Decker into a more streamlined business, we are operating with more focus and core market leadership positions in Tools & Outdoor and Industrial, built on the strength of our people and culture. The compelling long-term opportunities in the markets we serve along with the progress we've made transforming our business, including our improved cost position, gives us the confidence to pursue growth investments in the second half of this year. We believe these investments will help capture the market opportunity and accelerate our growth and margin expansion. We are proud of our progress to date, and I am confident that by executing our strategy we are positioning Stanley Black & Decker for strong long-term growth, cash flow generation, profitability, and shareholder return."

The Company's primary areas of strategic focus are:

  • Advancing innovation, electrification, and global market penetration to achieve organic revenue growth of 2 to 3x the market
  • Streamlining and simplifying the organization, and investing in initiatives that more directly impact our customers and end users
  • Returning adjusted gross margins* to historical 35%+ levels by accelerating the operations and supply chain transformation to improve fill rates and better match inventory with customer demand
  • Prioritizing cash flow generation and inventory optimization

2Q'23 Key Points:

  • Net sales for the quarter were $4.2 billion, down 5% versus prior year as price realization (+1%) was more than offset by lower volume (-5%) and the Oil & Gas divestiture (-1%).

  • Inventory at the end of the quarter was $5.3 billion, down approximately $375 million from the prior quarter and $1.4 billion over the last twelve months as the Company continued benefiting from improving supply chain conditions and planned production curtailments.

  • Gross margin for the quarter was 22.4%. Adjusted gross margin* was 23.6%, up 50 basis points sequentially from first quarter 2023. Adjusted gross margin* was down versus the prior year rate of 27.9% as price realization was more than offset by a 4 to 5 point impact from production curtailments, selling through high-cost inventory and lower volumes.

  • SG&A expenses were 20.1% of sales for the quarter. Excluding charges, second quarter adjusted SG&A expenses* were $812 million or 19.5% of sales. Adjusted SG&A expenses* were down on an absolute basis versus the prior year reflecting cost control actions but up versus the prior year rate of 18.7% due to lower sales.

  • Tools & Outdoor net sales were down 5% versus second quarter 2022 as price realization (+1%) was more than offset by volume (-6%). The overall organic* decline (-5%) was a result of lower consumer outdoor and DIY market demand and modestly reduced channel inventory. Regional year-over-year organic* revenue included: North America (-6%), Europe (-1%) and Emerging markets (-3%). Second quarter U.S. retail point-of-sale demand was above pre-pandemic 2019 levels, supported by strength in professional demand and price. The Tools & Outdoor segment profit rate*, excluding charges, was 4.5%. The segment profit rate*, excluding charges, declined from 10.8% in second quarter 2022 as price realization was more than offset by selling through high-cost inventory, production curtailment costs and lower volume.

  • Industrial net sales were down 5% versus second quarter 2022 as price (+4%) was more than offset by volume (-1%), currency (-1%) and the Oil & Gas divestiture (-7%). Engineered Fastening organic* revenues were up 8%, with double digit growth in aerospace and automotive, which was partially offset by softer industrial markets. Attachment Tools organic* revenues were down 14% due to customer destocking. The Industrial segment profit rate*, excluding charges, was 13.0%, up 370 basis points versus prior year, due to price realization and cost control.

Global Cost Reduction Program Update

The Company continued executing a series of initiatives to generate cost savings and reduce inventory, with the ultimate objective of driving long-term growth, improving profitability, and generating strong cash flow.  The Global Cost Reduction Program is expected to optimize the Company's cost base and generate savings to fund investments that accelerate growth in the core businesses. These initiatives remain on track to generate run-rate cost savings of approximately $1 billion by the end of 2023, growing to approximately $2 billion by 2025. 

Year-to-date, the Company is ahead of plan and achieved $460 million of pre-tax run-rate savings from lower headcount, indirect spend reductions and the supply chain transformation. The Company also reduced inventory by approximately $575 million versus fourth quarter 2022 ending balances and is on track to deliver $700 million to $900 million of inventory reductions in 2023 to support free cash flow generation. Since inception, the Global Cost Reduction Program generated $660 million in pre-tax run-rate savings and the Company has reduced inventory by $1.4 billion.

2023 Outlook 

Patrick D. Hallinan, Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, "In the first half, we reduced inventory by $575 million and generated $460 million of pre-tax run rate cost savings, both modestly ahead of our plan. The progress we've made sets the business up for continued gross margin improvement in the second half of 2023.  Looking forward, as we continue to plan around a range of 2023 demand outcomes, we are executing our transformation to deliver the cost savings that are largely within our control and create flexibility to fund growth investments. Cash generation, gross margin improvement and balance sheet strength remain our top priorities as we continue positioning the Company for long-term growth and value creation."

Management is narrowing its guidance ranges and expects 2023 GAAP EPS to be in the range of ($1.25) to ($0.50) (From ($1.65) to $0.60).  Adjusted EPS* is expected to be between $0.70 to $1.30, (From $0.00 to $2.00). Free cash flow* is expected to be approximately $0.6 billion to $0.9 billion (from $0.5 billion to $1.0 billion), significantly ahead of net income, as the Company focuses on serving its customers and executing its transformation while leveraging the SBD Operating Model to drive working capital efficiency. The Company continues to prioritize free cash flow generation and intends to make investments to support faster organic growth. Management's guidance reflects a range of demand for the balance of 2023, that will be discussed in more detail on today's earnings call.

The difference between 2023 GAAP and adjusted EPS* guidance is approximately $1.80 to $1.95, consisting of other charges primarily due to the supply chain transformation under the Global Cost Reduction Program and integration-related charges.

Gross profit included $51.4 million of these charges while SG&A included $25.4 million. Other, net included a net benefit of $10.3 million and Restructuring included $4.6 million of charges.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Organic sales growth, or organic growth, is defined as the difference between total current and prior year sales less the impact of companies acquired and divested in the past twelve months and any foreign currency impacts divided by prior year sales. Operating profit is defined as sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating margin is operating profit as a percentage of sales. Operating profit and operating margin are shown both inclusive and exclusive of acquisition-related and other charges. Management uses operating profit and operating margin as key measures to assess the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the related measures at the segment level. Diluted EPS, excluding charges, or adjusted EPS, is diluted GAAP EPS excluding the impacts of acquisition-related and other charges. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners and is useful information for investors. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company's common and preferred stock and business acquisitions, among other items.  Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by net income. The Non-GAAP statement of operations and business segment information is reconciled to GAAP on pages 12 through 15 and in the appendix to the earnings conference call slides available at http://www.stanleyblackanddecker.com/investors. The Company considers the use of the Non-GAAP financial measures above relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the Company's results, business trends and outlook measures aside from the material impact of acquisition-related and other charges and ensures appropriate comparability to operating results of prior periods.

The Company also provides expectations for the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EPS, presented on a basis excluding acquisition-related and other charges, as well as free cash flow. Forecasted adjusted EPS is reconciled to GAAP on page 4. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash flow from operations, a reconciliation of forecasted free cash flow to its most directly comparable GAAP estimate has been omitted. The Company believes such a reconciliation would also imply a degree of precision that is inappropriate for this forward-looking measure.
