Clorox Reports Third-Quarter Results; Updates Fiscal 2011 Financial Outlook and Provides Initial Fiscal 2012 Outlook
OAKLAND, Calif., May 3, 2011 –The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) today reported 1 percent volume and sales growth for its fiscal third quarter, which ended March 31. The company also reported $1.02 diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations.
“Our 1.3 percent sales growth is a significant improvement over the 3 percent decrease in the first half of the fiscal year, and we expect to see growth in the fourth quarter as well,” said Chairman and CEO Don Knauss. “Still, we face a challenging economic environment, as evidenced by weak category performance in the U.S. and increasing commodity costs. We are controlling those factors we can control, and we’re confident we are taking the right actions to drive further efficiency, enable growth and maintain the long-term health of our brands. Clorox has great brands, great people and great capabilities. As we execute on our strategic plan, and the economy stabilizes and grows stronger, we anticipate achieving significantly improved results.”
All results in this press release are on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise stated. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below and the tables toward the end of this press release for more information and a reconciliation of key third-quarter results.
Fiscal Third-Quarter Results
Clorox reported third-quarter net earnings from continuing operations of $141 million, or $1.02 diluted EPS, versus $143 million, or $1.00 diluted EPS, in the year-ago quarter. Including earnings from discontinued operations, net earnings were $151 million, or $1.09 diluted EPS, compared with $165 million, or $1.16 diluted EPS, in the year-ago quarter.
Clorox reported third-quarter net earnings from continuing operations of $141 million, or $1.02 diluted EPS, versus $143 million, or $1.00 diluted EPS, in the year-ago quarter. Including earnings from discontinued operations, net earnings were $151 million, or $1.09 diluted EPS, compared with $165 million, or $1.16 diluted EPS, in the year-ago quarter.
Volume increased 1 percent, with growth in eight of 11 strategic business units. The largest gains were from Burt’s Bees® natural personal care products, the Away From Home institutional business and Home Care. Most of these gains were offset by volume losses on the Glad® business due to lower trade-promotion spending and higher competitive activity versus the year-ago period, and the Brita® business due to category softness. Overall sales grew 1 percent to $1.3 billion, primarily due to the higher volume.
Gross margin decreased about 50 basis points to 44.1 percent from 44.6 percent in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable commodity, manufacturing and logistics costs and slightly unfavorable product mix. These factors were partially offset by cost savings and price increases.
“As anticipated, we’re seeing higher commodity costs and other inflationary pressures in the second half of our fiscal year, but at a higher rate than we had anticipated,” said Chief Financial Officer Dan Heinrich. “The benefit of price increases and our successful cost saving initiatives helped mitigate this cost inflation.”
“Other (income) expense, net” was $9 million income, compared with $1 million expense in the year-ago quarter. The change was primarily related to income from transition services related to the 2010 sale of the Auto Care businesses and from hedging contracts.
Cash provided by continuing operations increased to $217 million from $210 million in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to favorable changes in working capital. For the full fiscal year, the company anticipates free cash flow will be about 9 percent of sales. The company defines free cash flow as cash provided by continuing operations less capital expenditures.
During the quarter, Clorox repurchased approximately 5 million shares of the company’s common stock at a cost of $338 million.
Key Segment Results
Following is a summary of key third-quarter results by reportable segment. All comparisons are with the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, unless otherwise stated.
Following is a summary of key third-quarter results by reportable segment. All comparisons are with the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, unless otherwise stated.
Cleaning
(Laundry, home care, away from home)
- 4% volume growth
- 3% sales growth
- 5% pretax earnings decrease
The segment’s volume growth was largely driven by higher shipments of disinfecting products to institutional customers and higher shipments of several home care products, including Clorox® disinfecting wipes, Pine-Sol® dilutable cleaners, Clorox® Clean-Up® cleaner and Clorox® bathroom cleaners. These factors were partially offset by lower shipments of Tilex® mold and mildew remover due to higher merchandising in the year-ago quarter and Clorox 2® stain fighter and color booster due to category softness. Pretax earnings reflected unfavorable product mix and increased commodity costs, partially offset by higher sales and cost savings.
Household
(Bags and wraps, charcoal, cat litter)
- 3% volume decrease
- 3% sales decrease
- 1% pretax earnings growth
The volume decrease was due primarily to a decrease in Glad® trash bags and Glad® food-storage products due to lower trade-promotion spending and higher competitive activity, partially offset by increased shipments of Kingsford® charcoal and Scoop Away® cat litter. Pretax earnings were primarily driven by cost savings, partially offset by lower sales and higher commodity costs.
Lifestyle
(Dressings and sauces, water filtration, global natural personal care)
- 3% volume growth
- Flat sales
- 17% pretax earnings decrease
The segment’s volume growth was driven by higher shipments of Burt’s Bees® natural personal care products and Hidden Valley® salad dressings. These results were partially offset by lower shipments of Brita® water-filtration products due to category softness. The variance between changes in volume and sales was primarily driven by unfavorable product mix and increased trade-promotion spending. Pretax earnings reflected higher advertising expense, unfavorable product mix and higher commodity costs, partially offset by cost savings.
International
(Sales in all countries outside of the U.S., excluding natural personal care)
- Flat volume
- 8% sales growth
- 3% pretax earnings growth
The segment had flat volume, as higher shipments of Clorox® disinfecting wipes in Canada were offset by lower shipments in Latin America. The variance between changes in volume and sales was primarily driven by the benefit of price increases and favorable foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by increased trade-promotion spending. Pretax earnings reflected higher sales and cost savings. These factors were partially offset by higher selling and administrative expenses associated with investments in IT systems and process improvements and an increase in an equity-based tax in Colombia, as well as higher manufacturing and logistics costs and unfavorable commodity costs.

Clorox Updates Fiscal 2011 Financial Outlook
- Flat to 1 percent sales decrease
- 75-100 basis points gross margin decrease
- Diluted EPS from continuing operations in the range of $3.85-$3.95, excluding the previously communicated goodwill impairment charge on the Burt’s Bees® business
Clorox now anticipates the year-over-year change in sales to be in the range of flat to a 1 percent decrease for fiscal year 2011, due to continued category softness resulting from a challenging economic environment.
The company’s updated gross margin outlook is for a decrease of 75-100 basis points, reflecting increased commodity costs. To mitigate commodity cost pressure, Clorox plans to increase prices on Glad® trash bags 9.5 percent, effective May 2. The updated gross margin outlook assumes increased commodity costs of $80 million-$85 million versus the prior fiscal year, up from $65 million-$75 million in the company’s prior outlook. The company continues to anticipate cost savings of about $100 million for the fiscal year, unchanged from its previous outlook.
Net of all of these factors, Clorox now anticipates full-year diluted EPS from continuing operations in the range of $3.85-$3.95, excluding the previously communicated noncash goodwill impairment charge on the Burt’s Bees® business. This compares to diluted EPS from continuing operations of $3.69 in fiscal year 2010.
Clorox Provides Initial Fiscal 2012 Financial Outlook
- 1-3 percent sales growth
- 25-50 basis points gross margin decrease
- Diluted EPS from continuing operations in the range of $4.00-$4.10, including incremental IT systems and facility investments in the range of 18-20 cents diluted EPS (see below)
For fiscal year 2012, the company’s sales growth reflects the following assumptions:
- U.S. categories flat to slightly negative versus fiscal year 2011, and modest international category growth, resulting in overall categories about flat due to the challenging economic environment.
- At least 2 percentage points of growth from innovation.
- Price increases contributing about 4 percentage points to sales growth, largely offset by the sales impact of lower volume as consumers adjust to higher prices; pricing plans for international markets to be influenced by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
- Negative impact from foreign currency exchange rates of about 1 percentage point, primarily due to further currency decreases in Argentina and Venezuela, partially offset by other favorable foreign currencies.
Net of these factors, Clorox anticipates sales growth in the range of 1-3 percent and flat volume.
The company’s fiscal year 2012 gross margin outlook anticipates the following:
- Cost savings in the range of $90 million-$100 million.
- Favorable impact from the previously mentioned price increases.
- Commodity cost increases, including diesel, in the range of $160 million-$170 million, and other inflationary pressures, including manufacturing and logistics, in the range of $40 million-$50 million.
Net of these factors, the company anticipates gross margin to decrease in the range of 25-50 basis points.
Other assumptions in the company’s fiscal year 2012 outlook include:
- Advertising expenditures in the range of 9-10 percent of sales.
- Incremental fiscal year 2012 impact of the previously mentioned investments in international IT systems and infrastructure improvements and U.S. R&D facilities in the range of $36 million-$40 million. These investments will be reflected in selling and administrative expenses.
- Interest expense in the range of $113 million-$116 million.
- Effective tax rate of about 34 percent for the fiscal year, although there will be some variability by quarter.
Page 3 of 11
Net of all these factors, Clorox anticipates fiscal year 2012 diluted EPS from continuing operations in the range of $4.00-$4.10. Fiscal year 2012 diluted EPS from continuing operations benefits from the full year effect of share repurchases in fiscal year 2011.

| (4) | The decrease in corporate losses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, is primarily due to lower employee compensation costs, gains on low-income housing properties and lower interest expense, primarily due to a decline in average debt balances. These factors were partially offset by the incremental investments for information technology projects. |
