NEW BRITAIN, Conn., July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Stanley Black & Decker(NYSE: SWK) today announced second quarter 2017 financial results.

  • 2Q'17 Revenues Totaled $3.2 Billion, Up 10% Versus Prior Year, With Strong Organic Growth Of 7%
  • 2Q'17 Operating Margin Rate Was 14.7%; Excluding M&A Related Charges, Operating Margin Rate Was 15.7%
  • 2Q'17 Diluted GAAP EPS Was $1.82; Excluding M&A Related Charges, 2Q'17 Diluted EPS Was $2.01, Up 9% Versus Prior Year, Reflecting Strong Operational Performance
  • Raising 2017 Full Year Diluted GAAP EPS Guidance Range To $8.05 To $8.25 (From $7.95 To $8.15); Raising Adjusted EPS Guidance Range To $7.18 To $7.38 (From $7.08 To $7.28), Due To Higher Organic Growth Expectations, A 10% - 13% Expansion Versus Prior Year

2Q'17 Key Points:

  • Net sales for the quarter were $3.2 billion, up 10% versus prior year, as positive volume (+8%) and acquisitions (+7%) more than offset divestitures (-3%), price (-1%) and currency (-1%).
  • Gross margin rate for the quarter was 37.5%. Excluding charges, the gross margin rate was 38.3%, relatively flat to 2Q'16, as volume leverage and productivity were offset by price, currency and commodity inflation.
  • SG&A expenses were 22.9% of sales. Excluding charges, SG&A expenses were 22.6% of sales, relatively flat to 2Q'16, as continued tight cost management offset investments in SFS 2.0 growth initiatives.
  • Operating margin rate was 14.7%. Excluding charges, operating margin rate was 15.7%, compared to a post-merger record 15.8% rate in 2Q'16.
  • Restructuring charges for the quarter were $8.0 million. Excluding M&A related charges, restructuring charges for the quarter were $6.3 million compared to $10.2 million in 2Q'16.
  • Tax rate was 22.5%. Excluding charges, tax rate was 23.5% versus a rate of 25.0% in 2Q'16 due to the favorable settlement of certain income tax audits.
  • Average diluted shares outstanding for the quarter were 152.2 million versus 147.3 million a year ago, due primarily to share issuances in 4Q'16 associated with the Company's 2013 Equity Units.
  • Working capital turns for the quarter were 7.1, down 1.1 turns from prior year as a result of the recent acquisitions and divestitures. Excluding these acquisitions and divestitures, turns declined 0.3 turns versus prior year primarily due to increased working capital to support Tools & Storage outsized organic growth.

James M. Loree, President and CEO, commented, 'Stanley Black & Decker continued to generate impressive results in the second quarter. Each of our businesses contributed to 7% organic revenue growth and the Company posted a strong 15.7% operating margin rate. Of particular note was the performance of Tools and Storage and Engineered Fastening, which generated organic growth of 8% and 6%, respectively, as well as Security North America, which built on the positive momentum of last quarter to deliver 4% organic growth. Both of our smaller Industrial businesses, Hydraulic Tools and Oil & Gas, also contributed with double-digit organic growth.

'Supplementing the solid organic performance, our recent acquisitions added 7 points of revenue growth. The integrations of both Newell Tools and the Craftsman brand are in full swing and on target. I am pleased with our team's solid execution, and with our continued efforts to become known as a leading innovator, deliver top-quartile financial performance and elevate our commitment to social responsibility.'

  • Tools & Storage net sales increased 17% versus 2Q'16 as volume (+9%) and acquisitions (+11%) more than offset divestitures (-1%), price (-1%) and currency (-1%). Each region contributed to the 8% organic growth for the quarter with North America +9%, Europe +8%, and emerging markets +3%. Share gains in North America were aided by a healthy U.S. tool market, along with new products, including sales from the DEWALT FlexVolt system, and consistently strong commercial execution. Industrial channels within North America delivered high-single-digit growth reflecting improving market conditions and strength within MAC Tools. Europe once again delivered share gains, with another quarter of above-market organic growth enabled by new products and successful commercial actions. Organic growth within the emerging markets, led by Latin America, was driven by the continued success of our mid-price-point product releases, higher e-commerce volumes, and price. Overall Tools & Storage segment profit rate, excluding charges, was 18.1%, down from the record year ago rate of 18.8%, as benefits of volume leverage and productivity were more than offset by growth investments, price and commodity inflation.
  • Security net sales decreased 12% versus 2Q'16 as volume (+1%), price (+1%) and small, bolt-on electronic security acquisitions (+2%) were more than offset by the sale of the Mechanical Security business (-14%) and currency (-2%). North America organic growth accelerated to 4% on higher installation volumes within the commercial electronic security and automatic doors businesses. Europe was flat organically as strength within the Nordics and UK was offset by anticipated and continued weakness in France. Overall Security segment profit rate, excluding charges, was 11.1%, down from 12.6% last year, reflecting an approximately 120 basis point decline related to the sale of the Mechanical Security business, as well as impacts of mix and funding growth investments.
  • Industrial net sales increased 7% versus 2Q'16 as volume (+9%) more than offset currency (-2%). Engineered Fastening organic revenues increased 6% as strong automotive system shipments supporting new customer platforms and volume growth within general industrial markets more than offset declines within electronics. Infrastructure organic revenues were up 19% on expanded Hydraulic Tools volumes from successful commercial actions and improved market conditions, as well as higher Oil & Gas volumes from accelerated North American pipeline project and inspection activity. Overall Industrial segment profit rate was 19.4%, as volume leverage, productivity gains and cost control resulted in a 240 basis point expansion versus the 2Q'16 rate.

2017 Outlook

Management is raising its 2017 EPS outlook to $8.05 - $8.25 from $7.95 - $8.15 on a GAAP basis and to $7.18 - $7.38 from $7.08 - $7.28 on an adjusted basis, as it expects stronger full year results attributable primarily to higher organic growth expectations. The Company is also reiterating its free cash flow conversion estimate of approximately 100%.

Donald Allan Jr., Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, 'We are pleased to once again increase our 2017 guidance, which now contemplates 10% - 13% earnings per share growth. We continue to focus on operational excellence and leveraging investments to deliver strong organic growth, and successfully integrating our recent acquisitions. Strong day-to-day execution in alignment with our operating performance system, SFS 2.0, gives us confidence that we can continue to deliver top-quartile results consistent with our long-term financial objectives.

'Additionally, we remain committed to a strong investment-grade credit rating and expect that our robust free cash flow generation, along with our recent financing actions, position us to bring our credit metrics back in line by the end of 2017.'

Merger And Acquisition ('M&A') Related Charges

Total M&A related charges in 2Q'17 were $43.0 million, primarily related to restructuring, deal and integration costs, as well as non-cash inventory step-up charges. Gross margin included $26.1 million of these charges while SG&A included $8.7 million. Other, net and Restructuring included $5.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of these charges. In addition, an adjustment to the previously recognized gain on divestitures resulted in a $0.9 million charge within the quarter.

Organic sales growth is defined as total sales growth less the sales of companies acquired and divested in the past twelve months and any foreign currency impacts. Operating margin is defined as sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Management uses operating margin and its percentage of net sales as key measures to assess the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the related measures at the segment level. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company's common stock and business acquisitions, among other items. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by net income, excluding the gain on the sales of businesses. The normalized statement of operations and business segment information, as reconciled to GAAP on pages 12 and 13 for 2017, is considered relevant to aid analysis of the Company's margin and earnings results aside from the material impact of the acquisition-related charges and gain on sales of businesses.
