MIDDLETON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 15, 2024--
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB; “Spectrum Brands” or the “Company”), a leading global branded consumer products and home essentials company focused on driving innovation and providing exceptional customer service, today reported results from continuing operations for the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“The team and I are proud of our fourth quarter and fiscal 2024 results. We exceeded our annual operating plans on virtually every metric and all of our businesses returned to growth in the second half of the year, in spite of the challenging economic and geopolitical conditions that are impacting consumer demand. We achieved over 20% adjusted EBITDA growth for the year despite an incremental $62 million of investments into our brands, demonstrating the high quality of our earnings growth. We upgraded our capabilities in commercial operations, innovation, marketing and advertising. We restored operational momentum to our businesses with best-in class operational efficiency and fill rates in the mid 90% across each of our businesses. We have transformed from a difficult working capital position to a company with best-in-class working capital management capabilities and we have the strongest balance sheet in our peer group, ending fiscal 2024 with net leverage below 0.6 turns,” said David Maura, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Brands.
Continuing, Mr. Maura commented, “I am excited about the upcoming year. Our focus during fiscal 2025 will be to continue the momentum we built in fiscal 2024 by investing in our brands to drive long-term growth, in innovation to expand core and adjacent categories, and in our operations to drive further cost improvement, quality and safety. Despite the overall challenging macro-economic environment, we intend to make incremental investments in fiscal 2025 to drive top-line growth.”

Net sales increased 3.5% with an increase in organic net sales of 2.9% excluding a favorable foreign currency impact of $1.7 million. Higher net sales in Companion Animal were offset by softness in Aquatics. The sales increase was driven by higher volumes and favorable foreign currency. The volume increase was driven by an acceleration of sales into the quarter due to the S4/Hana ERP implementation.
Adjusted EBITDA and margins decreased due to a significant increase in brand-focused investments and trade programming, partially offset by higher sales and operational productivity improvements.

Net sales and organic net sales increased 7.7%. The net sales increase was primarily driven by higher volumes, with double-digit sales growth in Controls and Repellents and low single-digit growth in Household, partially offset by a decline in Cleaning. Demand in Controls was driven by favorable weather conditions, which extended the lawn and garden season. Sales in Repellents increased due to lower retail inventory levels compared to last year, favorable weather, and storms in the Southeast.
Lower adjusted EBITDA and margins were driven by increased brand-focused investments and shifts in variable operating costs, partially offset by higher sales, positive pricing and favorable mix.

Net sales increased 4.1% with an increase in organic net sales of 5.4% excluding an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $4.4 million. The increase in organic net sales was driven by mid-single digit growth in both the Home and Personal Care categories. Sales volumes in each category were aided by heightened promotional activity.
The decrease in adjusted EBITDA and margins was driven by increased brand-focused investments, higher freight costs and unfavorable mix, partially offset by higher sales volumes and cost improvement initiatives.
Liquidity and Debt
As of the end of the fiscal year, the Company had a cash balance of $369 million and total liquidity of $860 million, including undrawn capacity on its cash flow revolver. The Company also had $578 million of debt outstanding, consisting of $496 million of senior unsecured notes and approximately $82 million of finance lease obligations, and ended the year with net debt of approximately $209 million.
Fiscal 2025 Earnings Framework
Spectrum Brands expects low single-digit growth in reported net sales in fiscal 2025. Fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase by mid to high single-digits. Adjusted free cash flow is expected to be approximately 50% of adjusted EBITDA.
The Company continues to target a long-term net leverage ratio of 2.0 - 2.5 times.
Change to Non-GAAP Metrics
In addition to its GAAP results, the Company has provided and will continue to provide certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS, as supplementary information to investors in understanding the Company’s underlying operating performance. In response to recent commentary and review, we have updated certain adjustments within our consolidated adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS performance metrics for fiscal 2023 including certain compensation related costs included within our adjustments and most substantially, the unallocated shared service costs associated with our discontinued operations. The unallocated shared service costs reflected indirect costs provided to our HHI discontinued operations during the period of ownership, leading up to the successful completion of the HHI divestiture in June 2023. During the period of ownership, the HHI business had been reported as discontinued operations and centrally allocated operating costs, not directly attributable to the net assets of the divested business, continued to remain in the reporting of our continuing operations. We had previously excluded such unallocated shared costs when reconciling our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS which have been subsequently determined to be costs of the consolidated group during such period and should not be excluded from our adjusted metrics in accordance with the applicable non-GAAP guidance and interpretations. Following the completion of the HHI divestiture in June 2023, such costs are offset by income received from Transition Service Agreements associated with the transaction. As a result of these changes, our adjusted EBITDA metrics decreased by $2.2 million for the three month period and $27.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2023, respectively. There is no impact to previously reported adjusted EBITDA for interim periods within the year ended September 30, 2024. There is no impact to previously reported segment adjusted EBITDA.
Additionally, we have adjusted our approach towards income tax provision adjustments within our adjusted EPS metric. Previously, we had applied a normalized 25% rate to the adjusted pre-tax income in determining the adjusted net income to determine adjusted EPS. We have changed the determination of our metric to reflect the change in reported GAAP income tax provision in consideration of the adjustments being made in accordance with the applicable non-GAAP guidance and interpretations. The changes will be reflected in the current periods along with any comparative periods previously presented. As a result of changes in our adjustments discussed above and the change in income tax provision within our adjusted EPS calculation, our adjusted EPS decreased $0.24 for the three month period and $0.89 for the year ended September 30, 2023, respectively. We will recast adjusted EPS in consideration of the change in income tax provision for previous interim periods within the year ended September 30, 2024 as part of our subsequent reporting of results during the year ended September 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Measurements
Our consolidated results contain non-GAAP metrics such as organic net sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS and adjusted Free Cash Flow. While we believe organic net sales and adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our financial results in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
Organic Net Sales - We define organic net sales as net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and/or impact from acquisitions (where applicable). 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 rates and 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 net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the current period net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative 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 and adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP metrics used by management, which we believe are useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business. These metrics provide investors additional information about our operating profitability for certain non-cash items, non-routine items we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items not core to our continuing operations. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives, as securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance and debt service capabilities, and they are regularly used by management and our board of directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. They facilitate 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 is also used for determining compliance with the Company’s debt covenants. 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 also excludes certain non-cash adjustments including share based compensation; impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, operating and finance lease assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets; gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt through the repurchase or early redemption of outstanding debt; and purchase accounting adjustments recognized in income subsequent an acquisition attributable to the step value on assets acquired, including, but not limited to, inventory or operating lease assets. Additionally, the Company will further recognize adjustments from adjusted EBITDA for other costs, gains and losses that are considered significant, non-recurring, or otherwise not supporting the continuing operations and revenue generating activity of the segment or Company, including but not limited to, exit and disposal activities, or incremental costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business, related integration or separation costs, or the development and implementation of strategies to optimize or restructure the Company and its operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of reported net sales.
Adjusted EPS - Management uses adjusted 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 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. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives, as securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance, and they are regularly used by management and our board of directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. Adjusted EPS is calculated by excluding the effect of certain adjustments from diluted EPS, including non-cash adjustments including impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, operating and finance lease assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets; gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt through the repurchase or early redemption of outstanding debt; and purchase accounting adjustments recognized in income subsequent an acquisition attributable to the step value on assets acquired, including, but not limited to, inventory or operating lease assets. Additionally, the Company will further recognize adjustments from diluted EPS for other costs, gains and losses that are considered significant, non-recurring, or otherwise not supporting the continuing operations and revenue generating activity of the segment or Company, including but not limited to, exit and disposal activities, or incremental costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business, related integration or separation costs, or the development and implementation of strategies to optimize or restructure the Company and its operations. Adjusted EPS is further impacted by the effect on the income tax provision from adjustments made to reported diluted EPS.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow - Management uses adjusted free cash flow as a means of analyzing the Company's operating results and evaluating cash flow generation from its revenue generating activities, excluding certain cash flow activity associated with strategic transactions and other costs and receipts attributable to non-recurring events. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure in understanding cash flow conversion associated with the Company's operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments, service of debt, dividends and share repurchases and meetings its working capital requirements. By providing these measures, together with a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are generating cash flow from operations, as securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of financial performance, and they are regularly used by management and our board of directors for internal purposes in evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures. Free cash flow is calculated by excluding capital expenditures from cash flow provided (used) by operating activities and further adjusted for non-operating strategic transaction costs and other non-recurring or unusual cash flow activity that would otherwise be considered operating cash flow under US GAAP. Cash flow conversion is adjusted Free Cash Flow as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA.
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.
