Fortune Brands Delivers Strong Operating Margin and Profit Results; Company Updates Guidance to Reflect Softening Market Environment; Separation Into Two World-class Companies Progressing Well Ahead of Schedule

Business and Operations Highlights:

  • 3Q 2022 sales of $2.1 billion, an increase of 3 percent versus a year ago
  • 3Q 2022 earnings per share (EPS) of $1.57, an increase of 8 percent versus a year ago; EPS before charges / gains of $1.79, an increase of 20 percent versus a year ago
  • Full-year guidance updated to reflect a softening market environment
  • Separation into two world-class companies progressing well ahead of schedule

Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS, the “Company”, or “Fortune Brands”), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced third quarter 2022 results.

“Our team delivered impressive third quarter results, including 20 percent EPS growth and margin improvement across all of our segments,” said Nicholas Fink, Chief Executive Officer, Fortune Brands. “Our sales grew 3 percent over an exceptionally strong 3Q 2021, reflecting the power of our brands. As anticipated, U.S. demand for housing softened in the quarter as housing affordability weighed on the consumer. The Company’s strong results demonstrate our ability to outgrow the market, achieve margin progress and invest for the future in a focused manner while facing a challenging environment.”

Fink continued, “We are taking proactive measures to drive market outperformance and profitability as we finish 2022 and begin 2023, while maintaining investment in our highest priority strategic initiatives. We have consistently distinguished ourselves by making the right moves during challenging times. Today’s environment is no different. We remain confident in the long-term fundamental demand for housing and will be primed to capture opportunities for value creation. Finally, I am pleased to report that our progress toward separating into two public companies is continuing well ahead of schedule. Our teams are working hard to complete the transaction this year.”

Third Quarter 2022

For the third quarter of 2022, sales were $2.1 billion, an increase of 3 percent over the third quarter of 2021. Earnings per share were $1.57, compared to $1.45 in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 8 percent. EPS before charges / gains were $1.79, compared to $1.49 the same quarter last year, an increase of 20 percent. Operating income was $281.2 million, compared to $286.6 million in the prior-year quarter, a decrease of 2 percent. Operating income before charges / gains was $334.9 million, compared to $293.3 million the same quarter last year, up 14 percent. Operating margin was 13.7 percent, compared to 14.4 percent in the third quarter of 2021. Operating margin before charges / gains was 16.3 percent, compared to 14.8 percent in the third quarter of 2021.

For each segment in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the prior-year quarter:

  • Water Innovations sales decreased 14 percent and also decreased 14 percent adjusting for FX and acquisitions. Results were impacted by continued inventory destocking and softness in China. Importantly, U.S. point-of-sale grew approximately 5 percent in the quarter. Operating margin before charges / gains was 24.7 percent, up 210 basis points in the period over last year.
  • Outdoors & Security sales increased 6 percent, or 5 percent adjusting for FX and acquisitions driven by price across all product categories. Operating margin before charges / gains was 16.1 percent, up 50 basis points in the period over last year.
  • Cabinet sales increased 20 percent, driven by price across all product categories. Operating margin before charges / gains was 13.8 percent, up 410 basis points in the period over last year.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At the end of the quarter, net debt was $3.0 billion and net debt to EBITDA was 2.2x. The Company had $345 million in cash and $537 million of availability under its revolving credit facility.

The Company has repurchased approximately $75 million in common stock since the end of the second quarter, including approximately $36 million during the third quarter. Year-to-date, the Company has purchased approximately $580 million in common stock.

Annual Outlook Update

The Company now anticipates delivering 2022 full-year sales growth in the range of 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent relative to a global home products market growing at 2 percent to 4 percent and a U.S. home products market growing at 3 percent to 5 percent.

The Company now expects EPS before charges / gains for the full year to be in the range of $6.20 to $6.30.

The Company now expects to generate free cash flow of approximately $400 million to $450 million.

“Our teams continue to execute in a challenging environment, as demonstrated by our progress on margin and on strategic priorities,” said Patrick Hallinan, Chief Financial Officer, Fortune Brands. “We are facing increasing headwinds in response to slowing new construction and R&R activity coupled with greater than expected channel inventory reductions. In response, we are taking actions across the business to adjust to current market conditions. We remain committed to our long-term margin journey. We are already taking actions to prioritize margins and cash generation in anticipation of a softer market in 2023, while continuing to pursue our highest priority strategic initiatives. Our balance sheet is strong, and our focus will be on maintaining this strength. We fully maintain our confidence in the long-term fundamental opportunity of housing.”

** Free cash flow is cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") less net capital expenditures (capital expenditures less proceeds from the disposition of assets including property, plant and equipment, and 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.

Operating margin is calculated as operating income derived in accordance with GAAP, divided by GAAP net sales. Before charges/gains operating margin is operating income derived in accordance with GAAP, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains, divided by GAAP net sales. Before charges/gains operating margin is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by FBHS and its business segments. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $28.1 million ($22.9 million after tax or $0.17 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges/gains, including costs for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services directly related to the separation of FBHS and its Cabinets business and $2.2 million of mark-to-market expense classified in the other expense, net associated with the acquisition of the remaining outstanding shares of Flo, which occurred in January 2022, loss on equity investments of $4.5 million ($3.4 million net of tax or $0.02 per diluted share), the impact from actuarial losses associated with our defined benefit plans of $1.0 million ($0.7 million net of tax) and a net tax expense of $0.2 million. In addition, we have excluded from this reconciliation the one-time external costs that are contingent on the separation between FBHS and its Cabinets business occurring, for which the timing is unknown. We estimate that these expenses will be in the range of $0.28 to $0.32 per diluted share and will be excluded from our diluted EPS before charges and gains.

In the first quarter of 2022, our Plumbing segment was renamed “Water Innovations” in order to better align with our key brands and organizational purpose. The Plumbing segment name change is to the name only and had no impact on the Company’s historical financial position, results of operations, cash flow or segment level results previously reported.
 
In 2018, our Water Innovations segment entered into a strategic partnership with, and acquired non-controlling equity interests in, Flo Technologies, Inc. ("Flo"), a U.S. manufacturer of comprehensive water monitoring and shut-off systems with leak detection technologies. In January 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Flo in a multi-phase transaction. As part of this agreement, we acquired a majority of Flo’s outstanding shares during 2020 and entered into a forward contract to purchase all remaining shares of Flo during the first quarter of 2022 for a price based on a multiple of Flo’s 2021 sales and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes. On January 30, 2022, we made a final cash payment of $16.7 million to the legacy minority shareholders to acquire such shares which is reflected within Other financing, net in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
In January 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Solar a leading producer of wide-opening exterior door systems and outdoor enclosures, for a purchase price of $61.6 million, net of cash acquired. The purchase price is subject to a final post-closing working capital adjustment. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The results of Solar are reported as part of the Outdoors & Security segment. Its complementary product offerings support the segment’s outdoor living strategy. Solar's net sales and operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were not material to the Company. We have not included pro forma financial information as the transaction is immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 31, 2022 was $61.6 million, which includes $21.0 million of goodwill. Goodwill includes expected sales and cost synergies and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

On April 28, 2022, the Company stated it expected the Spin-Off to be completed approximately twelve months from the announcement date, subject to a number of conditions including the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 to be filed with the SEC.
 
In July 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Aqualisa, a leading U.K. manufacturer of shower products known for premium, innovative, smart digital shower systems, for a purchase price of $156.0 million, net of cash acquired of $4.8 million. The results of Aqualisa are reported as part of the Water Innovations segment. Its product offerings will enable us to continue to leverage growing trends in water management and connected products. We financed the transaction with borrowings under our existing credit facilities.
