Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced third quarter 2014 results from continuing operations and updated its 2014 annual outlook for sales and earnings per share.

“Our teams delivered solid growth in the third quarter despite the comparison to the prior year quarter where sales increased 24 percent and a market that is currently running at the low end of our planning assumption,” said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands. “Importantly, our mix continues to improve and we continue to gain share. At the same time, we are strengthening our portfolio and have invested in capacity to deliver higher growth in 2015 and beyond.”

Third Quarter 2014

For the third quarter of 2014, sales were $1.1 billion, an increase of 5 percent over the third quarter of 2013. Earnings per share were $0.54, compared to $0.37 in the prior-year quarter. EPS before charges/gains were $0.55, compared to $0.46 the same quarter last year. Operating income was $136.4 million, compared to $97.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income before charges/gains was $138.2 million, compared to $120.5 million the same quarter last year. Window business results have now been reflected as a discontinued operation in all periods and are therefore excluded from these results.

“Sales increased 5 percent for the total company and importantly, earnings per share before charges/gains increased 20 percent,” Klein said.

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

  • Cabinet sales were up 1 percent. Excluding the impact of both exiting builder direct business in the west and the comparison to a large bath vanity product launch in the third quarter of 2013, core cabinet sales increased 10 percent with mid-teens growth in the dealer channel and high-single digits gains in retail.
  • Plumbing sales increased 2 percent, led by growth in the U.S. wholesale channel and retail, up 5 percent and 8 percent respectively, and offset partially by softer international sales.
  • Door sales were up 13 percent with growth in both the wholesale and retail channels.
  • Security & Storage sales increased 17 percent. Sales from the SentrySafe acquisition added significantly to the growth while organic security sales increased 4 percent and tool storage sales decreased 3 percent.

“Our core business performance remained solid and we continue to invest in incremental capacity to support future sales growth,” said Lee Wyatt, chief financial officer. “While these capacity investments, combined with slower market growth, pressure profitability in the short run, they should enhance future profit growth. We are also taking steps to refine our portfolio with the acquisition of SentrySafe and the sale of Simonton windows in the third quarter and by separating the tool storage business from our larger and growing security business in the fourth quarter. All of these actions should position us well to deliver even higher growth in 2015 and beyond.”

Company Updates Annual Outlook for 2014

The Company’s 2014 annual outlook is based on a slower U.S. home products market growth assumption of 4 to 5 percent for the fourth quarter. Based on the Company’s expectation to continue outperforming the market, the Company expects full-year 2014 net sales to increase approximately 8 percent.

The Company expects diluted EPS before charges/gains to be in the range of $1.84 to $1.86, which compares to 2013 diluted EPS before charges/gains of $1.50 and assumes that tool storage profits are even with the prior year.

The Company’s outlook includes the impact of third quarter actions, including the acquisition of SentrySafe, the sale of Simonton windows, and share repurchases.

The Company continues to expect to generate free cash flow approaching $200 million for the full year 2014. The expected free cash flow is net of anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $120 million, as the Company invests in incremental capacity and infrastructure to support multi-year growth.

“Although we are seeing growth in both new construction and consumer spending on remodel projects, that growth is at the low end of our last estimates,” said Klein. “Regardless, we continue to gain share, our core businesses are performing well and we are well-positioned for higher growth in 2015. Importantly, we also remain sharply focused on driving incremental shareholder value with our cash flow and balance sheet.”

Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management. Although we believe that these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those indicated in such statements.

These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP and may also be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

* 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. It additionally excludes payments of taxes and transaction costs on the discontinued sale of the Simonton window business. 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) Other charges which were recorded in cost of products sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, 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.
 
(4) 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:
