H.B. Fuller Reports First Quarter 2014 Results

First Quarter Adjusted Diluted EPS $0.49¹;

First Quarter Diluted EPS $0.28

ST. PAUL, Minn. – H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL) today reported financial results for the first quarter that ended March 1, 2014.

Items of Note for the First Quarter of 2014:

• Organic revenue increased by 2 percent compared to the prior year;

• Organic revenue increased 17 percent in Construction Products and 11 percent in Asia Pacific compared to prior year;

• Adjusted segment operating income¹ increased 5 percent versus prior year;

• Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses were tightly controlled, about 1 percent, or 40 basis points as a percentage of net revenue, lower than the prior year’s first quarter;

• Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.49¹ was unchanged versus last year;

• On track to substantially complete business integration by the end of the third quarter 2014;

• Project ONE remains on time and on budget.

First Quarter 2014 Results:

Net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $14.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, versus net income of $20.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in last year’s first quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2014 were $0.49¹, unchanged versus the prior year’s adjusted result of $0.49¹.

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was $486.0 million, up 1.3 percent versus the first quarter of 2013. Higher volume positively impacted net revenue growth by 2.0 percentage points, while foreign currency translation negatively impacted net revenue growth by 0.7 percentage points. Organic revenue grew by 2.0 percent year-over-year.

Adjusted gross profit margin¹ was essentially unchanged versus the prior year’s result. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense was down by 1 percent, or 40 basis points as a percentage of net revenue, versus the prior year’s first quarter.

“During the first quarter, we hit a number of key milestones on our transformation programs and we remain on track toward hitting our goal of 15 percent EBITDA margin in 2015, while still delivering the expected level of EPS during this quarter,” said Jim Owens, H.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer. “Organic revenue growth of 2 percent was below last quarter’s results with strong revenue in Asia and Construction Products offset by weak revenue in Europe and slower than expected organic sales growth in the Americas through December, January and February. We are pleased with our ability to adapt and deliver bottom line results in the quarter as we manage significant internal projects and numerous external factors.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:

At the end of the first quarter of 2014, the Company had cash totaling $113 million and total debt of $534 million. This compares to fourth quarter 2013 levels of $155 million and $493 million, respectively. Sequentially, net debt was up by $83 million primarily due to normal seasonal cash flow requirements and the business integration project outlays. Cash flow from operations was negative $17 million in the first quarter, inline with normal seasonal patterns. Capital expenditures were $51 million in the first quarter, with the bulk of this spending related to the Company’s ongoing business integration activities and to support Project ONE.

Business Integration and Special Charges:

We have been working on a comprehensive business integration project since March of 2012 to fully assimilate the Forbo industrial adhesives business and to improve the operating performance of our legacy EIMEA operating segment. At the inception of the project we estimated the total costs associated with this project to be $125² million. We currently expect our total project costs will exceed the estimates by an immaterial amount, primarily due to delays in completing the European portion of the project. The summary below lays out the estimated project costs, the costs expensed in the current quarter and the total costs incurred to date.

¹  Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes the following items. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a negative impact on the gross profit margin line of the income statement as the result of business integration costs not classified as special charges. On a pre-tax basis, these costs amounted to $1.3 million ($0.02 per diluted share). First quarters of 2014 and 2013 exclude special charges associated with two previously announced events: the EIMEA business transformation project and the expenses associated with the Forbo acquisition integration project, which have been combined and are now referred to as the “business integration”. Special charges, net amounted to $11.7 million and $5.3 million on a pre-tax basis ($0.18 and $0.08 per diluted share) in Q1 2014 and Q1 2013, respectively.

²  The original cost estimate for special charges was $121 million. During the third and fourth quarters of 2013, the Company revised the estimate upward to $125 million to reflect higher non-cash items and a revision of the total spend in each of the categories.

³ Segment operating income is defined as gross profit less SG&A expense. Items that are reported on the special charges line of the income statement are excluded from the segment operating income calculation. In Q1 2014 and Q1 2013, special charges, net totaled $11.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

⁴ EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined on a consolidated basis as gross profit, less SG&A expense, plus depreciation expense, plus amortization expense. On a segment basis it is defined as operating income, plus depreciation expense, plus amortization expense. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by net revenue.

⁵ Segment operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as gross profit, less SG&A expense, divided by net revenue.
