COTT REPORTS FISCAL YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

TORONTO, ON and TAMPA, FL — February 17, 2012 — Cott Corporation (NYSE:COT; TSX:BCB) today announced its results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.

(All information in U.S. dollars; all fiscal year 2011 comparisons are relative to the fiscal year 2010; all fourth quarter 2011 comparisons are relative to the fourth quarter of 2010. Certain terms used in this press release are defined below.)

Fiscal Year 2011

 

   

Revenue increased 29% to $2,335 million compared to $1,803 million. Excluding the impact of the Cliffstar acquisition and foreign exchange, revenue increased 7%. The Cliffstar business, which was acquired during the third quarter of 2010, contributed $386 million of the increase in revenue.

 

   

Operating income was $101 million compared to $99 million. Adjusted operating income was $123 million compared to $124 million.

 

   

Net income and earnings per diluted share were $38 million and $0.40, respectively, compared to $55 million and $0.63, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share were $54 million and $0.57, respectively, compared to $58 million and $0.68, respectively.

 

   

EBITDA was $193 million compared to $189 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $199 million compared to $189 million.

 

   

Free cash flow was $115 million off of net cash provided by operating activities of $164 million.

Fourth Quarter 2011

 

   

Revenue increased 4% to $549 million compared to $529 million.

 

   

Operating income was $4 million compared to $15 million. Adjusted operating income was $14 million compared to $26 million.

 

   

Net loss and loss per diluted share were $12 million and $0.12, respectively, compared to net income and earnings per diluted share of $15 million and $0.16, respectively. Adjusted net loss and adjusted loss per diluted share were $5 million and $0.05, respectively, compared to adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $8 million and $0.08, respectively.

EBITDA was $27 million compared to $59 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $32 million compared to $46 million.

“2011 saw us experience a solid increase in volume and revenue as well as deliver another year of significant cash generation,” commented Jerry Fowden, Cott’s Chief Executive Officer. “Margins were lower primarily due to significantly higher commodity costs, especially resin,” continued Mr. Fowden.

FISCAL YEAR 2011 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

 

Filled beverage case volume increased 15% (5% excluding Cliffstar) driven by higher volumes in North America, the United Kingdom / Europe (“U.K.”) and Mexico.

 

 

Revenue increased 29% (7% excluding Cliffstar and the impact of foreign exchange). Increased revenues were driven by a combination of higher volumes and higher pricing in North America and the U.K. The U.K. also benefited from continued favorable product mix.

 

 

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 11.8% compared to 14.8%. The decline in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was attributable primarily to the adverse impact of higher commodity costs such as resin, and to a lesser degree unfavorable product mix in North America.

 

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $173 million (7% as a percentage of revenue) compared to $167 million (9% as a percentage of revenue). The increase in SG&A was driven by the full year inclusion of Cliffstar.

 

 

Operating income was $101 million compared to $99 million. Adjusted operating income was $123 million compared to $124 million.

 

 

EBITDA was $193 million compared to $189 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $199 million compared to $189 million.

 

 

Free cash flow was $115 million off of net cash provided by operating activities of $164 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

Cott supplements its reporting of revenue determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding the impact of foreign exchange to separate the impact of currency exchange rate changes from Cott’s results of operations and, in some cases, by excluding the impact of the Cliffstar acquisition. Cott supplements its reporting of net income, operating income and earnings per diluted share in accordance with GAAP and its reporting of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by excluding Cliffstar purchase accounting adjustments, integration expenses, restructuring and asset impairments to separate the impact of these items from the underlying business. Because Cott uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business and to understand business performance independent of the Cliffstar acquisition, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Cott’s underlying business performance and the performance of its management. Additionally, Cott supplements its reporting of net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding capital expenditures, which management believes provides useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening the balance sheet. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Cott’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement reflect management’s judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
