FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JULY 29, 2019

LEGGETT & PLATT REPORTS 2Q RESULTS

Carthage, MO, July 29, 2019 —

 

   

2Q sales grew 10%, to $1.21 billion

 

   

2Q EPS was $.64, an increase of $.01 vs 2Q18

 

   

2Q cash flow from operations was a strong $172 million

 

   

2019 guidance lowered: sales of $4.7-$4.85 billion; EPS of $2.30-$2.50; adjusted EPS of $2.40-$2.60

Diversified manufacturer Leggett & Platt reported second quarter 2019 sales of $1.21 billion, a 10% increase versus second quarter last year.

 

   

Acquisitions added 16% to sales growth (ECS and other smaller acquisitions)

 

   

Organic sales were down 6%:

 

   

Volume down 6%, 3% from exited business

 

   

Currency impact -2%

 

   

Raw material-related selling price increases +2%

Second quarter EBIT was $136 million, up $15 million or 12% from second quarter last year.

 

   

EBIT included $12 million of amortization expense from the ECS acquisition

 

   

EBIT margin was 11.2%, up from 11.0% in the second quarter of 2018

Second quarter EPS was $.64, an increase of $.01 versus 2018. The increase reflects higher EBIT mostly offset by higher interest expense ($.05/share) and a higher tax rate ($.03/share).

Restructuring:

 

   

There were no significant restructuring-related charges in the second quarter

 

   

Full year restructuring-related charges are expected to be approximately $17 million ($.10/share)

 

   

$6 million cash and $11 million non-cash

CEO Comments

President and CEO Karl G. Glassman commented, “Sales grew 10% in the second quarter, primarily from the ECS acquisition. Sales also increased from continued market share and content gains in U.S. Spring, which was up 4% in the quarter, but this improvement was more than offset by lower volume from business exited in our Furniture Products segment, weak trade demand in the Industrial Products segment, and softer demand in Automotive.

“Second quarter EBIT increased a notable $15 million over second quarter last year, primarily from lower raw material costs (including LIFO benefit), and the ECS acquisition. However, these increases were partially offset by lower volume in several businesses and other smaller items.

“For the full year, sales growth will benefit significantly from the ECS acquisition. In addition, we continue to expect sales growth in Automotive, U.S. Spring, Aerospace, Hydraulic Cylinders, and Work Furniture, more than offset by the exit of both Fashion Bed and lower margin business in Home Furniture. We anticipate improved EBIT from higher sales and decreasing steel costs (including LIFO benefit).

“Demand for our Bedding products remains strong and will benefit from the preliminary dumping duties on Chinese mattresses that were recently imposed by the Department of Commerce. These rates range from 69% to 1,732% and should allow domestic mattress producers to compete on a more level playing field. We anticipate a final determination in the matter by the end of the year.

“We are pleased with the progress of the restructuring activity we initiated in the fourth quarter of 2018 in our Home Furniture and Fashion Bed businesses. The most significant elements of both plans are behind us and we expect to be substantially complete by the end of the third quarter.”

Debt and Cash Flow

 

   

Debt was 3.45x trailing 12-month pro forma adjusted1 EBITDA; we expect to be at our target level of debt to trailing 12-months adjusted EBITDA of approximately 2.5x by end of 2020

 

   

At the end of the second quarter, $866 million was available under the commercial paper program

 

   

Operating cash flow was $172 million in the second quarter, an increase of $92 million versus second quarter last year

Dividends

   

Leggett & Platt’s Board of Directors declared a $.40 second quarter dividend, two cents higher than last year

Stock Repurchases

 

   

Consistent with our commitment to delever, we repurchased a de minimis number of shares surrendered for employee benefit plans

 

   

Issued .2 million shares through employee benefit plans and option exercises

 

   

Shares outstanding at the end of the second quarter were 131.4 million

2019 Guidance

 

   

Full year 2019 sales and EPS guidance lowered

 

   

Sales are expected to be $4.7-$4.85 billion, an increase of 10-14% versus 2018

 

   

Organic sales are expected to decline -1% to -5%, including -3% from exited business

 

   

Acquisitions should add 15% to sales; including approximately $600 million from ECS (commencing from the January 16th acquisition date)

 

   

EPS is expected to be $2.30-$2.50, including approximately $.10 per share of restructuring-related costs

 

   

Versus 2018, EPS reflects decreasing steel costs (including LIFO benefit), partially offset by lower organic sales and a higher tax rate

 

   

Adjusted EPS is expected to be $2.40-$2.60

 

   

ECS is expected to be neutral to EPS in 2019

 

   

Based on this guidance range, EBIT margin should be 10.7-11.1%; adjusted EBIT margin should be11.1-11.4%

 

   

Operating cash flow should approximate $550 million

 

   

Prior Guidance:

 

   

Sales: $4.95-$5.1 billion

 

   

EPS: $2.35-$2.55; adjusted EPS: $2.45-$2.65

LIFO

 

   

In the second quarter of 2019, lower steel costs resulted in a LIFO benefit of $10.4 million (pretax)

 

   

In the second quarter of 2018, increasing steel costs resulted in LIFO expense of $12.8 million (pretax)

The non-GAAP adjustments affected various line items on the income statement. Details by quarter: 4Q 2018: $4.4 million COGS, $19.6 million SG&A, $11.9 million other expense, $3.2 million interest expense. 1Q 2019: $2.4 million COGS, $0.9 million SG&A, $3.9 million other expense.

8 

4Q 2018 excludes $3.2 million of financing-related charges recognized in interest expense.

9 

Management and investors use this ratio as supplemental information to assess ability to pay off debt. These ratios are calculated differently than the Company’s credit facility covenant ratio.

10 

The Leggett and ECS pro forma adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019 is presented in the table below. Because the increase in total debt from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019 was directly attributable to the ECS acquisition, we believe it is more meaningful to investors to include ECS’s pre-acquisition adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 months ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019 in the total debt / 12-month adjusted EBITDA calculation.
