Spectrum Brands Holdings Reports Fiscal 2025 First Quarter Results

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 first quarter of fiscal 2025 ended December 29, 2024. "We are pleased with the start of the year. The brand-focused investments we started making in 2024, and are continuing to make in 2025, are driving innovation in our products and consumer demand. Our investments in e-commerce are helping us win in what is the fastest growing channel for most of our products. The momentum we built last year is carrying over into this year. Our Home and Personal Care business had a solid holiday season, and our Home and Garden business had one of its best first quarters in recent history. Global Pet Care's quarterly sales were negatively impacted by the acceleration of retailer purchases into last quarter ahead of the business' go-live on S/4Hana. GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share both increased, and our adjusted EBITDA was 26.9% higher than last year's adjusted EBITDA excluding investment income. Gross margins are also up 140 basis points over the first quarter of fiscal 24. Our operations are continuing to deliver cost improvements and we are staying lean," said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands. Mr. Maura continued, "Our operations and commercial teams are activating plans to minimize and mitigate the impact of the recent tariff actions, accelerating our plans to pivot our production out of China where practical and working with our suppliers and retailers to offset tariff headwinds. We are encouraged by the start of our year and intend to continue this momentum as the year progresses." Fiscal 2025 First Quarter Highlights Three Month Periods Ended (in millions, except per share and %) December 29, 2024 December 31, 2023 Variance Net sales $ 700.2 $ 692.2 $ 8.0 1.2 % Gross profit 257.8 244.9 12.9 5.3 % Gross profit margin 36.8 % 35.4 % 140 bps Operating income 44.7 25.0 19.7 78.8 % Net income from continuing operations 24.6 17.5 7.1 40.6 % Net income from continuing operations margin 3.5 % 2.5 % 100 bps Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations $ 0.87 $ 0.51 $ 0.36 70.6 % Non-GAAP Operating Metrics Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations $ 77.8 $ 84.3 (6.5 ) (7.7 )% Adjusted EBITDA margin 11.1 % 12.2 % (110 ) bps Adjusted EPS from continuing operations $ 1.02 $ 0.63 $ 0.39 61.9 % Net sales increased 1.2% with an increase in organic net sales of 1.9%, excluding the impact of $5.1 million of unfavorable foreign exchange rates. Net sales also increased due to an extended fall season and accelerated pre-season sales in H&G and strong e-commerce sales in HPC partially offset by a sales decline in GPC primarily due to a strategic acceleration of orders into the prior year related to the S/4Hana ERP implementation. Gross profit and margin increased from higher sales, cost improvement actions and favorable foreign currency partially offset by ocean freight inflation and higher tariffs due to the expiration of tariff exemptions for certain product lines. Operating income increased due to improved gross profit and cost savings initiatives offset by higher marketing and advertising spend. Net income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share increased from the increase in operating income, lower interest costs, and lower share count partially offset by lower investment income. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7.7% and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 110 basis points attributable to lower investment income and increased brand-building investments partially offset by increased gross profit. Adjusted diluted EPS increased to $1.02 due to lower interest expense and a reduction in outstanding shares partially offset by lower adjusted EBITDA. Fiscal 2025 First Quarter Segment Level Data Global Pet Care (GPC) Three Month Periods Ended (in millions, except %) December 29, 2024 December 31, 2023 Variance Net sales $ 260.0 $ 276.9 $ (16.9 ) (6.1 )% Adjusted EBITDA 51.5 52.7 (1.2 ) (2.3 )% Adjusted EBITDA margin 19.8 % 19.0 % 80 bps Net sales decreased 6.1%, with a decrease in organic net sales of 6.4%. North American sales were impacted by the pullforward of approximately $10 million of sales from the quarter into Q4 FY24 in advance of the S/4Hana ERP implementation. EMEA Companion Animal sales increased mid-single digits from the continued expansion of the Good Boy brand throughout Europe and strong demand in Dog and Cat Food. Category softness in global Aquatics negatively impacted sales in each region. Adjusted EBITDA decreased due to lower sales volume, inflation, and increased brand-focused investments, offset by cost improvements and other favorable variances. Home & Garden (H&G) Three Month Periods Ended (in millions, except %) December 29, 2024 December 31, 2023 Variance Net sales $ 92.1 $ 72.0 $ 20.1 27.9 % Adjusted EBITDA 9.3 (0.7 ) 10.0 n/m Adjusted EBITDA margin 10.1 % (1.0 )% 1,110 bps n/m = not meaningful Net sales increased 27.9% due to the timing of seasonal inventory build at certain retailers and an extended fall selling season due to warmer weather conditions. Net sales were also impacted by the pullforward of sales into the quarter due to H&G's Q2 go-live on S/4Hana. Sales increased in all categories other than Cleaning. Adjusted EBITDA increased due to higher sales volume, cost improvements and favorable trade variances, offset by inflation and increased brand-focused investments in the period. Home & Personal Care (HPC) Three Month Periods Ended (in millions, except %) December 29, 2024 December 31, 2023 Variance Net sales $ 348.1 $ 343.3 $ 4.8 1.4 % Adjusted EBITDA 26.7 26.7 — — % Adjusted EBITDA margin 7.7 % 7.8 % (10 ) bps Net sales increased 1.4%. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $5.9 million, organic net sales increased 3.1%. Organic sales growth in Personal Care was offset by declines in Home Appliances. Growth in e-commerce sales outpaced traditional retail sales growth globally. Personal Care sales grew in each region, while Home Appliance sales growth in EMEA was offset by declines in North America and other regions. Adjusted EBITDA was flat to last year, with higher sales volumes and the benefit of cost improvements offset by inflation, higher tariffs from the expiration of exclusions on certain product lines, and increased brand focused investments. Liquidity and Debt As of the end of the quarter, the Company had a cash balance of $180 million and total liquidity of $670.7 million, including undrawn capacity on its cash flow revolver of $490.8 million. The Company also had $575.1 million of debt outstanding, consisting of $496.1 million of senior unsecured notes and $79.0 million of finance leases, and ended the quarter with net debt of approximately $395.2 million. Fiscal 2025 Earnings Framework Spectrum Brands continues to expect low single-digit growth in reported net sales in fiscal 2025. Fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase by mid to high single-digits. Adjusted free cash flow is expected to be approximately 50% of adjusted EBITDA. The Company continues to target a long-term net leverage ratio of 2.0 - 2.5 times. Conference Call/Webcast Scheduled for 9:00 A.M.

Spectrum Brands – A Home Essentials Company™ Non-GAAP Measurements Our consolidated results contain non-GAAP metrics such as organic net sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS and adjusted Free Cash Flow. While we believe organic net sales and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS and adjusted Free Cash Flow are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our financial results in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results. Organic Net Sales - We define organic net sales as net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and/or impact from acquisitions (where applicable). 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 rates 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 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 comparative 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. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin - adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP metrics used by management, which we believe are useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business. These metrics provide investors additional information about our operating profitability for certain non-cash items, non-routine items we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items not core to our continuing operations. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives, as securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities, and they are regularly used by management and our board of directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. They facilitate 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 is also used for determining compliance with the Company’s debt covenants. 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 also excludes certain non-cash adjustments including share based compensation; impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, operating and finance lease assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets; gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt through the repurchase or early redemption of outstanding debt; and purchase accounting adjustments recognized in income subsequent to an acquisition attributable to the step value on assets acquired, including, but not limited to, inventory or operating lease assets. Additionally, the Company will further recognize adjustments from adjusted EBITDA for other costs, gains and losses that are considered significant, non-recurring, or otherwise not supporting the continuing operations and revenue generating activity of the segment or Company, including but not limited to, exit and disposal activities, or incremental costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business, related integration or separation costs, or the development and implementation of strategies to optimize or restructure the Company and its operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of reported net sales. Adjusted EPS - Management uses adjusted 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 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. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives, as securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance, and they are regularly used by management and our board of directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. Adjusted EPS is calculated by excluding the effect of certain adjustments from diluted EPS, including non-cash adjustments including impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, operating and finance lease assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets; gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt through the repurchase or early redemption of outstanding debt; and purchase accounting adjustments recognized in income subsequent to an acquisition attributable to the step value on assets acquired, including, but not limited to, inventory or operating lease assets. Additionally, the Company will further recognize adjustments from diluted EPS for other costs, gains and losses that are considered significant, non-recurring, or otherwise not supporting the continuing operations and revenue generating activity of the segment or Company, including but not limited to, exit and disposal activities, or incremental costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business, related integration or separation costs, or the development and implementation of strategies to optimize or restructure the Company and its operations. Adjusted EPS is further impacted by the effect on the income tax provision from adjustments made to reported diluted EPS. Adjusted Free Cash Flow - Management uses adjusted free cash flow as a means of analyzing the Company's operating results and evaluating cash flow generation from its revenue generating activities, excluding certain cash flow activity associated with strategic transactions and other costs and receipts attributable to non-recurring events. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure in understanding cash flow conversion associated with the Company's operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt, dividends and share repurchases and meetings its working capital requirements. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are generating cash flow from operations, as securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance, and they are regularly used by management and our board of directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. Free cash flow is calculated by excluding capital expenditures from cash flow provided (used) by operating activities and further adjusted for non-operating strategic transaction costs and other non-recurring or unusual cash flow activity that would otherwise be considered operating cash flow under US GAAP. Cash flow conversion is adjusted Free Cash Flow as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA. 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.
