DEERFIELD, Ill.--()--Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced second quarter 2014 results and updated its 2014 annual outlook for sales and earnings per share. The Company also announced value-enhancing activities that include an acquisition and year-to-date share repurchases.

“Our teams executed well, delivering a solid second quarter as consumer traffic is increasing and demand gradually improved from the soft start to the year,” said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands. “We continue to gain share and remain on track to deliver strong growth this year.”

Second Quarter 2014

For the second quarter of 2014, sales were $1.14 billion, an increase of 10 percent over the second quarter of 2013. Earnings per share were $0.55, compared to $0.37 in the prior-year quarter. EPS before charges/gains were $0.55, compared to $0.41 the same quarter last year. Operating income was $136.6 million, compared to $106.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income before charges/gains was $136.8 million, compared to $107.2 million the same quarter last year.

“Sales increased 10 percent for the total company and 12 percent for our combined home segments in the second quarter. Importantly, total company operating income before charges/gains increased 28 percent,” Klein said.

For each segment in the second quarter of 2014, compared to the prior-year quarter:

  • Kitchen & Bath Cabinetry sales were up 19 percent. Sales included strong increases in the dealer channel from continued share gains and strength in repair and remodel volume and mix. Operating income before charges/gains increased 31 percent to $46 million.
  • Plumbing & Accessories sales increased 5 percent, led by growth in the U.S. wholesale channel and international. Operating income before charges/gains increased 26 percent.
  • Advanced Material Windows & Door Systems sales were up 9 percent. Entry doors sales were up 11 percent and windows sales were up 7 percent to the prior year. Operating income before charges/gains for the segment increased 53 percent.
  • Security & Storage sales decreased 5 percent. Within the segment, security sales increased 1 percent and tool storage sales decreased 21 percent, which resulted in lower operating income before charges/gains.

“We also continued to invest in incremental capacity to support sales growth to approximately $6 billion over the next 3+ years,” said Lee Wyatt, chief financial officer. “In the second quarter of 2014, we made investments of 2 cents primarily for expenses related to planning, designing and the early stages of implementing incremental capacity in the cabinetry and plumbing segments.”

Value Enhancing Actions

The Company reinforced its commitment to maximize shareholder value by deploying free cash flow and adding debt leverage to drive incremental growth.

The Company announced today that it has acquired Sentry Safe, the leading manufacturer of personal safes with estimated annual sales of $150 million. The transaction closed on July 29, 2014 for $117.5 million and was funded from the Company's existing credit facilities. Sentry Safe will become part of Master Lock.

“Sentry Safe’s global brand strength in the adjacent personal safe market enables Master Lock to broaden its product offerings and leverage its iconic brand worldwide," said Klein. “Both companies hold similar competitive advantages in their markets and produce products that protect people’s most valuable assets. I am excited about the growth opportunities we will now have together to drive innovation, leverage global distribution and expand channels.”

Master Lock and Sentry Safe have leading market positions and strong consumer brands. Master Lock is the number one padlock brand in North America. Sentry Safe is the leading North American brand of security safes and other protective containers for residential and light commercial markets. Sentry Safe is headquartered in Rochester, New York and has approximately 500 associates, with manufacturing facilities in Rochester, New York and Cannelton, Indiana.

Additionally, the Company also disclosed that share repurchases in 2014 now total approximately $375 million, leaving approximately $112 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

“In addition to continuing our organic growth, we are sharply focused on driving incremental shareholder value with our cash flow and balance sheet,” said Lee Wyatt, chief financial officer. “Our dividend reflects our confidence in ongoing cash flows, the increased pace of opportunistic share repurchases demonstrates our commitment to be efficient with cash in value-creating ways, and we believe the acquisition of Sentry Safe will position us to further increase operating results in 2015.”

Company Updates Annual Outlook for 2014

The Company’s 2014 annual outlook is based on a U.S. home products market growth assumption of 6 to 8 percent. Based on the Company’s expectation to continue outperforming the market and the benefit from the Sentry Safe acquisition, the Company expects full-year 2014 net sales to increase 9 to 11 percent.

The Company expects diluted EPS before charges/gains to be in the range of $1.88 to $1.96. This targeted range compares to 2013 diluted EPS before charges/gains of $1.50.

The Company’s annual outlook includes both the impact of its recent acquisition of Sentry Safe and the impact of share repurchases.

“We have seen a gradual improvement in the pace of new construction and consumer spending,” said Klein. “However, our updated 2014 annual outlook for the home products market now reflects less growth in the second half of 2014 than we last estimated. Still, we remain on track to deliver strong growth this year and are well-positioned for accelerating growth in 2015.”

The Company continues to expect to generate $225 million to $250 million in free cash flow in 2014. The expected free cash flow is net of anticipated capital expenditures of $130 million to $140 million, as the Company invests in incremental capacity and infrastructure to support multi-year growth.

* Free cash flow is cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP less net capital expenditures (capital expenditures less proceeds from the sale of assets including property, plant and equipment) plus proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Free cash flow does not include adjustments for certain non-discretionary cash flows such as mandatory debt repayments. Free cash flow is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that free cash flow provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and related interest, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

(1) Corporate expenses include the components of defined benefit plan expense other than service cost including actuarial gains and losses.
 
(2) Restructuring charges are costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and include workforce reduction costs.
 
(3) Represents actuarial gains or losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Actuarial gains or losses in a period represent the difference between actual and actuarially assumed experience, principally related to liability discount rates and plan asset returns, as well as other actuarial assumptions including compensation rates, turnover rates, and health care cost trend rates. The Company recognizes actuarial gains or losses immediately in operating income to the extent they cumulatively exceed a “corridor.” The corridor is equal to the greater of 10% of the fair value of plan assets or 10% of a plan’s projected benefit obligation. Actuarial gains or losses are determined at required remeasurement dates which occur at least annually in the fourth quarter. Remeasurements due to plan amendments and settlements may also occur in interim periods during the year. Our operating income before charges/gains reflects our expected rate of return on pension plan assets which in a given period may materially differ from our actual return on plan assets. Our liability discount rates and plan asset returns are based upon difficult to predict fluctuations in global bond and equity markets that are not directly related to the Company’s business. We believe that the exclusion of actuarial gains or losses from operating income before charges/gains provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the business from period to period that may be considered in conjunction with our operating income as measured on a GAAP basis. We present this supplemental information because such actuarial gains or losses may create volatility in our operating income that does not necessarily have an immediate corresponding impact on operating cash flow or the actual compensation and benefits provided to our employees. The table below sets forth additional supplemental information on the Company’s historical actual and expected rate of return on plan assets, as well as discount rates used to value its defined benefit obligations:

(4) Other charges which were recorded in cost of products sold represent charges or gains directly related to restructuring initiatives that cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. Such charges or gains may include losses on disposal of inventories, trade receivables allowances from exiting product lines, accelerated depreciation resulting from the closure of facilities and gains or losses associated with the sale of closed facilities.
