FORTUNE BRANDS INNOVATIONS, INC. Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced second quarter 2017 results.
“The home products market continued to grow in the second quarter, with strong growth in new construction and continued growth in repair and remodel—particularly at entry and mid-price points. Our teams grew operating margin across all businesses, and delivered exceptional sales growth in plumbing,” said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands. “We remain on-track to achieve our 2017 outlook for sales and operating margin.”
Second Quarter 2017
For the second quarter of 2017, sales were $1.4 billion, an increase of 5 percent over the second quarter of 2016. Earnings per share were $0.90, compared to $0.80 in the prior-year quarter. EPS before charges/gains were $0.92, compared to $0.82 the same quarter last year. Operating income was $212.4 million, compared to $187.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income before charges/gains was $215.6 million, compared to $191.7 million the same quarter last year, up 12 percent.
“In the second quarter, sales increased 6 percent for our home products businesses, and 7 percent excluding foreign currency. Importantly, our teams focused on profitable growth and increased total company operating margin before charges/gains by 100 basis points to 15.8 percent,” Klein said.
For each segment in the second quarter of 2017, compared to the prior-year quarter:
- Plumbing sales increased 15 percent and high single digits organically, with growth in all businesses. Operating margin before charges/gains was 23.8 percent.
- Cabinet sales increased 1 percent against a strong 17 percent prior year comparison. Growth was driven by strength in new construction and in-stock cabinets and vanities, partly offset by softness in higher-end repair and remodel and in Canada. Segment operating margin before charges/gains increased 70 basis points to 13.6 percent.
- Door sales increased 4.5 percent driven by new construction and operating margin before charges/gains increased 160 basis points to 16.9 percent.
- Security sales decreased 2 percent due primarily to shifts in the timing of sales. Operating margin before charges/gains increased 160 basis points to 15.0 percent.
Annual Outlook for 2017
The Company’s 2017 annual outlook continues to be based on a U.S. home products market growth assumption of 6 to 7 percent and an assumption of 5 to 6 percent growth for our total global market. The Company expects full-year 2017 sales growth in the range of 6 to 8 percent.
The Company raised the midpoint of its full-year 2017 EPS outlook before charges/gains by two cents, with a new range of $3.04 to $3.12 versus the prior range of $3.00 to $3.12.
The Company also expects to generate free cash flow of approximately $450 million for the full year 2017.
“I am pleased with our teams’ performance in the second quarter and the demand for home products remains solid,” said Klein. “We remain focused on driving profitable growth in the second half of the year, and we continue to evaluate a healthy pipeline of potential acquisitions.”

The Company’s former senior vice president and chief financial officer, Lee Wyatt, was named executive vice president effective July 1, and will retire at the end of 2017.

| * 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 sale of assets including property, plant and equipment, and the 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. | |||||||||||||

RECONCILIATION OF FULL YEAR 2017 EARNINGS GUIDANCE TO GAAP | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company is targeting diluted EPS before charges/gains from continuing operations to be in the range of $3.04 to $3.12 per share. For the full year, on a GAAP basis, the Company is targeting diluted EPS from continuing operations to be in the range of $2.98 to $3.06 per share. Reconciliation of non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance to GAAP diluted EPS guidance cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from the diluted EPS before charges/gains. In addition, the Company's GAAP EPS range assumes the Company incurs no additional gains or losses associated with its defined benefit plans. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| (1) Corporate expenses as derived in accordance with GAAP 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" represent charges or gains directly related to restructuring initiatives that cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. Such costs 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 on the sale of previously closed facilities. For Corporate, other charges incurred represent external costs directly related to the acquisition of Norcraft and primarily include expenditures for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services. In addition, it includes estimated acquisition related inventory step-up expense in our Plumbing segment of $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (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: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
