ACCO BRANDS CORPORATION LAKE ZURICH, Ill., July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ACCO), a world leader in branded school and office products, today reported its second quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2014.
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20130114/CG41611LOGO-b
"I am pleased with our overall performance in the second quarter, especially our expanded placements in back-to-school categories in North America, as well as our disciplined expense management and a continued focus on productivity initiatives," said Boris Elisman, president and chief executive officer. "We remain on target to meet our revenue, adjusted earnings and cash flow guidance for the full year."
Second Quarter Results
Net sales decreased 3% to $427.7 million, compared to $440.2 million in the prior-year quarter. On a constant currency basis sales declined 2%. Net income was $21.3 million, or $0.18 per share. This compared to net income of $9.5 million, or $0.08 per share, in the prior-year quarter, including debt refinancing, restructuring and IT integration costs. Adjusted income increased 4% to $22.6 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $21.8 million, or $0.19 per share, in the prior-year quarter. The improvement was the result of lower operating and interest expenses.
Business Segment Highlights
ACCO Brands North America - Sales decreased 1% to $283.7 million from $286.9 million in the prior-year quarter, largely due to currency. On a constant currency basis, sales were roughly flat as share gains and price increases were offset by sales declines with a large customer that recently merged. North America operating income was $49.0 million compared to $33.7 million in the prior-year quarter, which included restructuring and IT integration costs. North America adjusted operating income increased 21% to $49.2 million, from $40.8 million in the prior-year quarter, due to cost savings and productivity improvements.
ACCO Brands International - Sales decreased 4% to $111.3 million from $116.1 million in the prior-year quarter. On a constant currency basis, sales decreased 3% primarily due to a decline in Europe. International operating income was $5.2 million compared to $10.5 million in the prior-year quarter. International adjusted operating income decreased 50% to $5.2 million, compared to $10.3 million in the prior-year quarter, due to the non-repeat of a gain on the sale of a building in 2013, lower volume and increased investments in go-to-market activities in emerging markets.
Computer Products - Sales decreased 12% to $32.7 million, from $37.2 million in the prior-year quarter, due to lower tablet accessory sales. Operating income decreased to $0.4 million from $2.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating income was $0.4 million, compared to $3.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was due to lower sales and a write-down of tablet accessory inventory.
Six Month Results
Net sales decreased 4.4% to $757.1 million, compared to $792.2 million in the prior-year six-month period. On a constant currency basis sales decreased 2.5%. Net income was $13.5 million, or $0.12 per share, including restructuring costs. This compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.00 per share, in the prior-year period, including restructuring, debt refinancing and IT integration costs. Adjusted net income increased 19% to $16.4 million, or $0.14 per share, from $13.8 million, or $0.12 per share, in the prior year period. The improvement was the result of lower operating and interest expenses.
Business Outlook
The company reiterates its expectations for 2014 sales to decline in the mid-single digits and adjusted earnings per share of $0.70-$0.76. The company continues to expect free cash flow of approximately $140 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis in this earnings release, we provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "adjusted" financial measures, earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITDA"), and free cash flow. See our Reconciliations of Adjusted Results, Reconciliations of Operating Income to Adjusted Supplemental EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Reconciliations of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow and our Reported Supplemental Business Segment Information and Reconciliation, for a description of each of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for each of the periods presented herein. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future, as well as to facilitate comparisons with our historical operating results. Adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of our underlying operational results and trends. For example, the non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside our core operating results. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods.
There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results; certain items could include unusual tax items, restructuring and integration charges, goodwill or other intangible asset impairment charges, among other things. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Investors should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements which may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, are made as of the date hereof and we undertake no obligation to update them. In particular, our business outlook is based on certain assumptions which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These include, without limitation, assumptions regarding changes in the macro environment, fluctuations in foreign currency rates, changes in the competitive landscape and consumer behavior and the effect of consolidation in the office products industry, as well as other factors described below.
Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Because actual results may differ from those predicted by such forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on them when deciding whether to buy, sell or hold the Company's securities.
Among the factors that could affect our results or cause our plans, actions and results to differ materially from current expectations are: the concentration of our business with a relatively limited number of large and sophisticated customers, and the impact of the loss or bankruptcy of a major customer or a substantial reduction in business from a major customer due to their loss of market share or otherwise; the consolidation of our customers, including the merger of Office Depot and OfficeMax in late 2013; challenges related to the highly competitive business segments in which we operate, including, without limitation, decisions made by our major customers to expand the sourcing of their own private label products or otherwise change product assortments, decisions by our competitors to take advantage of low entry barriers to expand their production or lower prices, and decisions made by end-users of our products to purchase lowered-priced, substitute or alternative products; our ability to anticipate the changing needs of our customers and end-users in a market where many of our product categories are affected by continuous improvements in technology and shortened product life cycles and others are experiencing secular declines; our ability to meet the competitive challenges faced by our Computer Products business which is characterized by rapid change, including changes in technology, short product life cycles and a dependency on the introduction by third party manufacturers of new equipment to drive demand for the accessories it sells; commercial and consumer spending decisions during periods of economic uncertainty or weakness; our ability to realize the sales synergies, growth opportunities and other potential benefits of the acquisition of the Mead Consumer and Office Products business; our ability to successfully expand our business in new, developing and emerging markets and sales channels which could create exposure to unstable political conditions, civil unrest or economic uncertainty; any material failure, inadequacy or interruption in our information technology systems; our failure to remediate the material weakness in our information technology general controls; regulatory requirements, litigation, regulatory actions or other legal proceedings; the risks associated with outsourcing production of certain of our products to suppliers in China and other Asia-Pacific countries; the decline in the use of paper-based dated time management and productivity tools; material disruptions at one of our or our suppliers' major manufacturing or distribution facilities; risks associated with our substantial indebtedness, including our limitations imposed by restrictive covenants and our ability to comply with financial ratios and tests; risks associated with seasonality, and foreign currency, interest rate and raw material and labor cost fluctuations; the impact of pension costs; any impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets; our ability to secure, protect and maintain our intellectual property rights; our ability to retain key employees; and other risks and uncertainties described in "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and in other reports we file with the SEC.

Results
A. "Adjusted" results
exclude all

charges, in order
to provide a
comparison of
underlying
results of
operations; in
addition, taxes
have been
recalculated at a
normalized tax
rate.
1. Represents integration charges.
2. Represents restructuring costs.
3. Primarily represents the adjustments
related to accelerated amortization
of debt origination costs resulting
from bank debt repayments.
4. Represents the reversal of the loss
on debt extinguishment and other
costs associated with the Company's
refinancing in Q2 of 2013.
5. Adjustment primarily reflects the
tax effect of the adjustments
outlined in items A.1.-4. above.
In addition the company had
incurred significant operating
losses in several jurisdictions in
prior periods. As a result, the
operating results in these
locations reflected no tax benefit
or expense, which results in a high
effective tax rate for the prior-
year period. The Company's
principal remaining tax valuation
allowance for the Netherlands was
reversed during the first quarter
of 2013. Excluding these impacts,
the Company's effective tax rate
would approximate 35%. The
Company's estimated long-term rate
remains subject to variations from
the mix of earnings across the
Company's operating jurisdictions.
