Spectrum Brands Holdings Reports Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Results

· Net Sales Increased 3.4% and Organic Sales Increased 4.1%

· GAAP Operating Income Increased 62.7%, Driven by Improved Gross Profit

· Adjusted EBITDA Increased 21.5%

· Proactive Steps to Improve Liquidity and Financial Flexibility

o Total Current Liquidity of Over $600 Million as of Today, which Includes Over $500 Million of Cash and an Incremental $90 Million Available Under the Company’s Revolver

· In Light of Uncertainty Surrounding COVID-19 Impacts, the Company is Withdrawing Fiscal 2020 Guidance

Middleton, WI, April 30, 2020 – Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB; “Spectrum Brands” or the “Company”), a leading global branded consumer products company focused on driving innovation and providing exceptional customer service, today reported results from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 ended March 29, 2020. 

“First and foremost, I want to say thank you to our Spectrum Brands family. With over 11,000 employees worldwide, I am proud of the amazing way in which we responded, collaborated and took proactive steps to protect our people and our Company and to serve our retail customers and consumers all around the world.  What we have learned during these unprecedented times, is that Spectrum Brands is a company whose products are essential and whose retail customers are essential and have so far predominantly remained open around the world.  I have never seen our people come together the way they have over the last six weeks and demonstrate so clearly our vision of having a team that is empowered and inspired. I believe that what has motivated our people during these challenging times is the realization that we are not just making goods and providing services, we are coming alongside our fellow citizens through this crisis by helping them cook meals in their kitchen, take care of and enjoy their pets, secure their homes and businesses, rid their yards of weeds, and protect their families and homes from insects. This is no more evident than our team in Blacksburg, VA pivoting to produce Cutter-branded hand sanitizer in a few short weeks. This accomplishment affirms that our people are our greatest asset. Again, a big thank you from the bottom of my heart,” said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands Holdings.

“Our second quarter results reflected strong top and bottom-line results, with net sales growth of 3%, organic growth of 4%, operating income growth of 62.7% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 21.5%. It is important to recognize that this growth was driven by strong results throughout the quarter. From a balance sheet perspective, we moved quickly to increase the amount of cash on hand to strengthen liquidity by drawing down on our $800 million revolver and ended the quarter with $458 million of cash on hand. Since the end of the quarter, we added a new $90 million tranche to our revolving credit facility. During the quarter, we also finalized the sale of the European dog and cat food manufacturing operations for cash proceeds of over $30 million, closed our Cambodia rawhide manufacturing facility and acquired Omega Sea to add to the Global Pet Care portfolio of aquatics brands. All of these accomplishments further demonstrate the importance of strong, consistent execution,” said Mr. Maura.

· Net sales increased 3.4%. Excluding the impact of $7.3 million of unfavorable foreign exchange and acquisition sales of $0.8 million, organic net sales increased 4.1%, with growth in Global Pet Care, Home & Personal Care and Home & Garden, offset by a slight decline in Hardware & Home Improvement.  In total, the Company estimates that the net COVID 19 impact to revenue in the quarter was a negative ($7.5) million.

· Gross profit margin increased 140 basis points as a cash benefit of $8.4 million from retrospective tariff exclusions, improved productivity and volume growth were partially offset by higher tariffs and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.

· Operating income was driven by the increase in sales and gross profit. In addition, there was recognition of a $7 million gain on the final disposition of the European dog and cat food manufacturing operations offsetting higher Global Productivity Improvement Plan (“GPIP”) restructuring costs.

Page 2/17

· Net loss and diluted loss per share were driven by a loss on the Company’s Energizer common stock holding despite an increase in operating income, lower interest expense and lower shares outstanding.  

· Adjusted EBITDA increased 21.5%. Growth in Hardware & Home Improvement, Global Pet Care and Home & Personal Care was offset by a slight decline in Home & Garden.  In total, the Company estimates that the net COVID-19 impact to operating income and adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was a negative ($3.6) million.

· Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 230 basis points driven primarily by improved gross profit and lower operating expenses.

· Adjusted diluted EPS increased 248.1% and was attributable to improved operating income, lower interest expense and lower shares outstanding.

· During the quarter, the Company repurchased 2.7 million shares of common stock for $149.2 million through open market repurchases and settled its Accelerated Share Repurchase Program (ASR) for an additional 0.3 million shares. In connection with the other steps we took to bolster our liquidity, we also temporary suspended our stock repurchase program.

· The Company currently does not expect to change its dividend policy, which issues a quarterly payout of 42 cents per share to shareholders.

Net sales were down slightly, with a slight decline in residential security, partially offset by growth from builders’ hardware. The sales growth in builder’s hardware was driven by new product introductions in the home center channel. Organic net sales decreased 0.6%. The net impact of COVID-19 in the quarter was nearly $3 million in revenue loss due to supply challenges, which more than offset orders customers pulled forward in to the second quarter.

Page 3/17

Significantly higher operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins were driven by a cash benefit of $8.4 million from retrospective tariff exclusions and productivity improvements, partially offset by tariff costs.

Home & Personal Care (HPC)

Net sales were driven by growth throughout the quarter, across all regions and by increases in both personal care and small appliances. Strong net sales growth in the U.S. was driven by mass and online channels despite declines from the impact of temporary store closures of many department store and specialty channels during the last few days of the quarter. Excluding unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $5.6 million, organic net sales grew 7.5%.

Reduced operating loss, and higher adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA margins were driven by higher volumes, lower operating expenses and productivity improvements, partially offset by foreign exchange headwinds and tariff costs.

Higher net sales were attributable to strong growth in both the companion animal and aquatics categories. Growth occurred throughout the quarter and accelerated at the end of the quarter. Excluding unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $1.6 million and acquisition sales of $0.8 million, organic net sales grew 10.6%.

Higher operating income, adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA margin growth were driven by volume growth, productivity improvements and positive pricing, partially offset by higher tariff costs. Operating income growth was also driven by a $7 million gain from disposition of the European dog and cat food manufacturing operations.

Home & Garden (H&G)

Adjusted EBITDA Margin		20.4%		21.3%		(90)	bps
n/m = not meaningful

Net sales were essentially flat with the prior year despite difficult year ago comparisons and COVID-19 related transportation shortages, as strong POS in the quarter generated early season orders. Net sales growth of our brands was offset by a decline in private label and captive brands sales.

Lower operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins were driven by the COVID-19 related revenue impact, timing of supplier rebates and tariff costs, which were partially offset by productivity improvements and mix favorability.

Liquidity and Debt

Spectrum Brands completed the quarter with a strong liquidity position, including a cash balance of $458 million.

As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company had approximately $3,042 million of debt outstanding, consisting of approximately $2,019 million of senior unsecured notes, $780 million of Revolver borrowings and approximately $243 million of capital leases and other obligations.

On April 3, 2020, as part of a series of precautionary measures in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company strengthened its liquidity by adding a $90 million dollar denominated tranche to its existing $800 million multi-currency Cash Flow Revolver. The Company believes that its strong balance sheet and ample flexibility on debt covenants provide it with meaningful financial flexibility.

Fiscal 2020 Outlook for Continuing Operations

Given the rapidly changing social and economic conditions around the globe as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has withdrawn its fiscal 2020 guidance.

While withdrawing our guidance, the Company believes that is well positioned to weather the COVID-19 pandemic because of the appeal that of brands and products in a stay at home environment and the positive results of its efforts in pursuing and executing its productivity improvement programs and the investments it has made in its products and brands. Equally, the Company believes that it is assisted by its strong liquidity position and its expected ability to access the debt and capital markets should the needs arise in the future.

Nonetheless, there can be no assurance regarding the future performance of the Company and there are a number of factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic that are negatively and materially impacting the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Such factors include, continued or future disruptions at its manufacturing facilities around the world, including further or continued disruptions in the places it is currently experiencing disruptions such as the Philippines, Mexico, the United States and China; the pandemic’s impact on the global economy and consumer behavior; and the future impact of the pandemic on the economy and financial markets generally. The full impact of these factors and other factor cannot be fully assessed at this time.

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.  Adjusted free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our ability to generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt principal, dividends and share repurchases and to meet working capital requirements.  Our definition of adjusted free cash flow takes into consideration capital investments required to maintain operations of our businesses and execute our strategy.  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.

ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS

We define adjusted diluted 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:

· Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives across the segments;

· Transaction related charges consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of TSAs;

· Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock, acquired as part of consideration received from the Company’s sale and divestiture of GAC to Energizer;

· Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);

· Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable);

· Foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company and the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestures during the year ended September 30, 2019.  The Company has entered into various hedging arrangements to mitigate the volatility of foreign exchange risk associated with such loans;

· Legal and litigation costs associated with Salus as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company, but continue to be consolidated until the Salus operations can be wholly dissolved and/or deconsolidated;and

· Incremental interest costs recognized for the extinguishment of the 6.625% Notes, including the cash payment of premium from early extinguishment and non-cash write-off of debt issuance costs during the six month period ended March 29, 2020;  

· Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at Company facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019; (2) incremental costs for separation of a key executive during the six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019; (3) incremental costs associated with a safety recall in GPC during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019; (4) operating margin on H&G sales to GAC discontinued operations during the three and six month period ended March 29, 2019; and (5) certain fines and penalties for delayed shipments following the completion of a GPC distribution center consolidation in EMEA during the six month period ended March 31, 2019.

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 29, 2020 and March 29, 2019 based upon enacted corporate tax rate in the United States.

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.

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/or 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 and other incentive compensation costs that consist of costs associated with long-term compensation arrangements and other equity based compensation based upon achievement of long-term performance metrics, and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation; including certain incentive bridge awards due to changes in the Company’s long-term compensation plans that allow for cash based payment upon employee election which have been included in the adjustment but would not qualify for shared-based compensation;

· Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives across the segments;

· Transaction related charges consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of TSAs;

· Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock, acquired as part of consideration received from the Company’s sale and divestiture of GAC to Energizer;

· Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations (when applicable);

· Non-cash purchase accounting inventory adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition (when applicable);

· Foreign currency gains and losses attributable to multicurrency loans that were entered into with foreign subsidiaries in exchange for receipt of divestiture proceeds by the parent company and the distribution of the respective foreign subsidiaries’ net assets as part of the GBL and GAC divestures during the year ended September 30, 2019.  The Company has entered into various hedging arrangements to mitigate the volatility of foreign exchange risk associated with such loans;

· Legal and litigation costs associated with Salus as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company, but continue to be consolidated until the Salus operations can be wholly dissolved and/or deconsolidated;and

· Other adjustments primarily consisting of costs attributable to (1) expenses and cost recovery for flood damage at Company facilities in Middleton, Wisconsin during the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019; (2) incremental costs for separation of a key executive during the six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019; (3) incremental costs associated with a safety recall in GPC during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019; (4) operating margin on H&G sales to GAC discontinued operations during the three and six month period ended March 29, 2019;  and (5) certain fines and penalties for delayed shipments following the completion of a GPC distribution center consolidation in EMEA during the six month period ended March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of reported net sales for the respective periods.
