Spectrum Brands Holdings Reports Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Results

  • Net Sales Decreased 1.5% Driven by Lower Consumer Demand in Home Appliances, Aquatics Particularly in North America and the Impact of SKU Rationalizations, Offset by Strong POS in Controls Due to Favorable Weather Trends
  • Net Income From Continuing Operations of $49.9 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $112.3 Million Improved by $124.9 million and $61.3 million, Respectively
  • Excluding Investment Income of $17.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA was $95.3 million
  • Repurchased 1.2 million Shares in Q2 for $98 million
  • Repurchased 12.1 Million Shares Since the Close of HHI Through Today for $920 Million
  • Entered into New Long-Term Black & Decker License Agreement
  • Updating Fiscal 2024 Earnings Framework and Now Expect Net Sales to be Relatively Flat Compared to Prior Year and, Excluding Investment Income, Adjusted EBITDA to Grow Low Double-Digits

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 second quarter of fiscal 2024 ended March 31, 2024.

“We are pleased to report a strong second quarter of fiscal 24, building off the operating momentum we drove in our first quarter. Our sales performance improved sequentially and our operations produced a gross margin of 38.1%, an 870 basis point improvement over last year. Our net income increased $124.9 million and our Adjusted EBITDA, excluding investment income, more than doubled to $95.3 million. Net income margins increased to 6.9% and Adjusted EBITDA margins, excluding investment income, nearly doubled to 13.3%. Given our first half performance, and expectations for modest top-line growth in the second half of the year, we are raising our full year Earnings Framework and now expect net sales to be relatively flat and Adjusted EBITDA to grow in the low double-digits,“ said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.

Mr. Maura continued, "I am also happy to announce that we have entered into a new agreement with Stanley Black & Decker to license the Black & Decker name in the same categories and geographies as before through the end of calendar 2027, with two additional four year extensions, providing us with access to the Black & Decker brand name through the end of calendar 2035. This is a significant milestone for us, providing certainty on our future access to this important brand name. Given this and the continued improving financial performance in our Home and Personal Care business (“HPC”), we are continuing to pursue a strategic alternative for HPC via a sale, joint venture or spin later this year. To that end, our internal teams, along with outside advisors, have made significant progress in preparation to launch a multi-track process and we anticipate filing an initial Form 10 spin document this summer."

  • Net sales decreased 1.5% with a decrease in organic net sales of 1.6%, excluding the impact of $1.2 million of favorable foreign exchange rates. Net sales declined due to lower sales in home appliances, volume declines in Aquatics in North America, and the impact of SKU rationalizations, offset by stronger Controls sales.
  • Gross profit and gross profit margin increased from the sale of lower cost inventory, lower inventory-related expenses, favorable mix and cost improvements.
  • Operating income increased due to the recognition of a $65 million gain from representation and warranty insurance proceeds, reduced intangible asset impairments, distribution cost favorability, reduced spend on restructuring, optimization and strategic transaction activities and lower factoring charges, offset by increased investments in advertising and marketing.
  • Net income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share increased from the increase in operating income, higher investment income, lower interest costs, and lower share count.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 120.2% and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 860 basis points attributable to higher gross margins, lower operating expenses and higher investment income, partially offset by the reduction in sales volume.
  • Adjusted diluted EPS increased to $1.62 due to higher Adjusted EBITDA and a reduction in outstanding shares.

Net sales decreased 2.3%, with a decrease in organic net sales of 3.0%, excluding favorable foreign currency impacts of $2.2 million.

The decrease in net sales was driven by the exit of non-strategic and lower-profit SKUs, as well as demand softness in the aquatics category in North America. Global companion animal sales were relatively flat, despite the impact of exiting non-strategic and lower-profit SKUs. North American sales declined due to soft demand in aquatics and the SKU exits. Sales in EMEA increased due to growth in both the Companion Animal and Aquatics categories.

Segment net income, Adjusted EBITDA and margins increased due to lower cost inventory compared to the prior year, favorable product and channel mix, and savings from operational productivity investments. This was partially offset by lower volumes, increased investments in advertising and programming, and FX.

Net sales and organic net sales increased 4.8%. The net sales increase was primarily driven by higher sales in the Controls business, where favorable weather trends in key regions drove higher retail POS and acceleration of purchases by retailers, offset by declines in Household Insect Controls and Repellents. Sales in the Cleaning category also declined, as consumer demand for certain product lines within this category remain soft compared to COVID demand levels.

The improved segment net income, Adjusted EBITDA, and margins were driven by higher sales, manufacturing efficiencies, operational cost reductions from cost improvement initiatives, and favorable mix, offset by increased investments in innovation and advertising. Segment net income was also impacted by lower year-over-year impairment charges.

Net sales decreased 4.0%, with a decrease in organic net sales of 3.7%, excluding unfavorable foreign currency impact of $1.0 million. The decrease in net sales is primarily due to sales declines in small Kitchen Appliances, offset by growth in Personal Care. Sales in EMEA increased, with growth in Personal Care offsetting sales declines in small Kitchen Appliances. Sales in LATAM grew across both Personal Care and small Kitchen Appliances categories.

The increase in segment net income, Adjusted EBITDA and margins were driven by lower cost inventory compared to the prior year, lower inventory related expenses and cost improvement initiatives, including reduction of operating expenses initiated in the prior year, and pricing, offset by lower volumes, increased investments and negative mix. Segment net income was increased by a $65 million insurance settlement for claims under a representations and warranty insurance policy related to the Tristar acquisition and intangible impairment charges in the prior year.

Liquidity and Debt

As of the end of the quarter, the Company had a cash balance of $746 million plus $500 million of short-term investments consisting of term deposits with a maturity greater than 3 months but less than 12 months, and $1,401 million of debt outstanding, consisting of $1,317 million of senior unsecured notes and $84 million of finance leases. The Company ended the quarter with net debt of approximately $155 million.

Fiscal 2024 Earnings Framework

Spectrum Brands now expects reported net sales to be relatively flat to Fiscal 2023. Fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA, excluding investment income, is expected to increase by low double-digits.

The Company continues to target 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 certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Within this document, including the tables that follow, reference is made to organic net sales, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS). 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 foreign currency exchange fluctuations and the impact of acquisitions (when applicable) when there is no comparable sales in the prior period. Organic sales growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to net sales in the prior comparative period. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’s net sales using the foreign currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative period. 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, because interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure for determining the Company's debt covenant compliance. 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. Management uses adjusted diluted EPS as 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 of 25.0%. 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. Supplemental tables have been provided within the Appendix to this document to demonstrate reconciliation of non-GAAP measurements to the most comparable GAAP measure.

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 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 current period 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 six month period ended March 31, 2024 compared to reported net sales for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2023:

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:

  • Share based compensation costs consist of costs associated with long-term incentive compensation arrangements that generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation;
  • Incremental project costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization 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, development and implementation of strategies to optimize operations, reduce costs, increase revenues, improve profit margins, including recognition of one-time exit or disposal costs. These amounts are excluded from our performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards strategic initiatives and business development activities, incremental costs directly attributable to such initiatives and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
  • 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 During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023, the Company recognized non-cash expense due to the incremental value recognized as part of the Tristar Business acquisition on right of use operating leases with below market rent;
  • Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations, including impairments from property, plant and equipment, operating and finance leases, and goodwill and other intangible assets, when applicable. During the three and six month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized impairments of its Rejuvenate® and a non-core HPC tradename indefinite lived intangible assets, along with an impairment charge on a right of use operating lease asset associated with an HPC facility that was exited prior to end of its term. During the three and six month period ended April 2, 2023, the Company recognized impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets for its Rejuvenate® and PowerXL® indefinite lived tradenames, along with an impairment on idle equipment associated with the early exit of a GPC warehouse lease and impairments on right of use operating lease assets associated with GPC and HPC facilities that were exited prior to the end of their term;
  • Gain realized from proceeds received on the representation and warranties insurance policies associated with the Tristar Business acquisition;
  • Incremental reserves for non-recurring litigation or environmental remediation activity attributable to significant and unusual nonrecurring matters with no previous history or precedent. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2024, such costs were directly attributable to legal costs incurred for the proceeds received from the representation and warranties insurance policies associated with the Tristar Business acquisition;
  • Non-cash gain realized from the repurchase of debt obligations at a discount, net deferred financing costs, during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2024;
  • Incremental costs associated with the recognition of product recall costs incurred by the HPC segment in collaboration with the CPSC, initiated at the end of the year ended September 30 2022 and during the year ending September 30, 2023, resulting in the accrual and recognition of incremental costs for the recall, product returns from customers, write-off of inventory on hand, and other costs such as notification, shipping and handling, rework and destruction of affected products, and consumer refunds, as needed. Such costs are not recurring and directly attributable to the recall event, excluding all other costs associated with product warranty and returns. During the three and six month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company was required by the CPSC to reissue a previously issued recall to provide a cash refund to customers, resulting in the recognition of incremental costs and reserves;
  • Unallocated shared costs reflect the costs associated with certain shared and center-led administrative functions such as information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, supply chain and commercial operations, supporting the HHI business during the period the Company owned and operated the business through the close of the HHI divestiture on June 20, 2023. Such costs are excluded from income from discontinued operations as they are not a direct cost of the discontinued business but a result of indirect allocations in accordance of US GAAP, but reflected as part of income from continuing operations for all periods presented, and requiring retroactive adjustment for all periods presented. HHI was previously a segment of the consolidated group and was excluded from the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA since being recognized as discontinued operations. As a result, for all periods in which HHI was owned and operated by the Company, including comparable periods requiring retroactive adjustment, the adjustment is recognized to reconcile net income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA of the remaining segments of the consolidated group. With the close of the HHI divestiture on June 20, 2023, there is no adjustment recognized as such shared costs are mitigated through income from TSAs during the transition period post-separation, with subsequent restructuring initiatives to rightsize extraneous costs;
  • Non-cash gain from the remeasurement in the contingent consideration liability associated with the Tristar Business acquisition during the six month period ended April 2, 2023;
  • For the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2023, the impact from the early settlement of foreign currency cash flow hedges during the year ended September 30, 2022, resulting in assumed losses at the original stated maturities of foreign currency cash flow hedges in our EMEA region that were settled early 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 excluded gains intended to mitigate costs during the year ending September 30, 2023; and
  • Other adjustments are attributable to: (1) key executive severance and other one-time compensatory costs; and (2) non-recurring unusual insurable losses, including any the receipt of insurance proceeds or recovery realized.

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 project costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization 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, development and implementation of strategies to optimize operations, reduce costs, increase revenues, improve profit margins, including recognition of one-time exit or disposal costs. These amounts are excluded from our performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards strategic initiatives and business development activities, incremental costs directly attributable to such initiatives and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
  • 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 During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023, the Company recognized non-cash expense due to the incremental value recognized as part of the Tristar Business acquisition on right of use operating leases with below market rent;
  • Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations, including impairments from property, plant and equipment, operating and finance leases, and goodwill and other intangible assets, when applicable. During the three and six month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized impairments of its Rejuvenate® and a non-core HPC tradename indefinite lived intangible assets, along with an impairment charge on a right of use operating lease asset associated with an HPC facility that was exited prior to end of its term. During the three and six month period ended April 2, 2023, the Company recognized impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets for its Rejuvenate® and PowerXL® indefinite lived tradenames, along with an impairment on idle equipment associated with the early exit of a GPC warehouse lease and impairments on right of use operating lease assets associated with GPC and HPC facilities that were exited prior to the end of their term;
  • Gain realized from proceeds received on the representation and warranties insurance policies associated with the Tristar Business acquisition;
  • Incremental reserves for non-recurring litigation or environmental remediation activity attributable to significant and unusual nonrecurring matters with no previous history or precedent. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2024, such costs were directly attributable to legal costs incurred for the proceeds received from the representation and warranties insurance policies associated with the Tristar Business acquisition;
  • Non-cash gain realized from the repurchase of debt obligations at a discount, net deferred financing costs, during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2024;
  • Incremental costs associated with the recognition of product recall costs incurred by the HPC segment in collaboration with the CPSC, initiated at the end of the year ended September 30 2022 and during the year ending September 30, 2023, resulting in the accrual and recognition of incremental costs for the recall, product returns from customers, write-off of inventory on hand, and other costs such as notification, shipping and handling, rework and destruction of affected products, and consumer refunds, as needed. Such costs are not recurring and directly attributable to the recall event, excluding all other costs associated with product warranty and returns. During the three and six month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company was required by the CPSC to reissue a previously issued recall to provide a cash refund to customers, resulting in the recognition of incremental costs and reserves;
  • Unallocated shared costs reflect the costs associated with certain shared and center-led administrative functions such as information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, supply chain and commercial operations, supporting the HHI business during the period the Company owned and operated the business through the close of the HHI divestiture on June 20, 2023. Such costs are excluded from income from discontinued operations as they are not a direct cost of the discontinued business but a result of indirect allocations in accordance of US GAAP, but reflected as part of income from continuing operations for all periods presented, and requiring retroactive adjustment for all periods presented. HHI was previously a segment of the consolidated group and was excluded from the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA since being recognized as discontinued operations. As a result, for all periods in which HHI was owned and operated by the Company, including comparable periods requiring retroactive adjustment, the adjustment is recognized to reconcile net income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA of the remaining segments of the consolidated group. With the close of the HHI divestiture on June 20, 2023, there is no adjustment recognized as such shared costs are mitigated through income from TSAs during the transition period post-separation, with subsequent restructuring initiatives to rightsize extraneous costs;
  • Non-cash gain from the remeasurement in the contingent consideration liability associated with the Tristar Business acquisition during the six month period ended April 2, 2023;
  • For the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2023, the impact from the early settlement of foreign currency cash flow hedges during the year ended September 30, 2022, resulting in assumed losses at the original stated maturities of foreign currency cash flow hedges in our EMEA region that were settled early 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 excluded gains intended to mitigate costs during the year ending September 30, 2023;
  • Other adjustments are attributable to: (1) key executive severance and other one-time compensatory costs; and (2) non-recurring unusual insurable losses, including any the receipt of insurance proceeds or recovery realized; 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 six month periods ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023 based upon enacted corporate tax rate in the United States.
