Sales Growth Above Guidance, Normalized EPS at High End of Expectations ATLANTA, July 31, 2008
ATLANTA, July 31, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) today announced its second quarter 2008 financial results.
Net sales grew 7.8 percent to $1.83 billion in the second quarter, compared to $1.69 billion in the prior year. The acquisitions of Technical Concepts and Aprica contributed 4.6 percent. Internal sales growth, which excludes the effect of significant acquisitions, was 3.2 percent. Double-digit increases in the Rubbermaid Commercial, Rubbermaid Food and European and Asia Pacific Office Products businesses, as well as high single digit growth in the Baby & Parenting Essentials business, led the sales improvement, offsetting declines in the North American Office Products, Tools & Hardware and Decor businesses. Foreign currency contributed 2.9 percent.
"We were pleased to deliver second quarter results in line with expectations despite significant cost inflation and a challenging U.S. economy," said Mark Ketchum, president and chief executive officer of Newell Rubbermaid. "Looking forward, we are taking decisive action to strengthen our portfolio and protect the company's margins and profitability. These previously announced initiatives include aggressive pricing increases and the restructuring of our product portfolio to reduce exposure to commodity-like product lines. In addition, we will continue our strategy of investing in innovation and brand building. We are confident that these actions will position Newell Rubbermaid as a stronger, less volatile and more profitable company and will enhance long-term shareholder value."
Gross margin during the second quarter was 34.1 percent, down 160 basis points from last year, as higher productivity, savings from Project Acceleration and favorable pricing were more than offset by significant increases in cost inflation.
Excluding Project Acceleration restructuring costs and related impairment charges of $69.4 million in 2008 and $15.5 million in 2007, operating income was $230.3 million, compared to $248.3 million in the prior year, reflecting the impact of higher cost inflation and the company's continued investment in strategic brand building activities and corporate initiatives.
Normalized earnings, which exclude Project Acceleration restructuring costs and related impairment charges, were $0.49 per diluted share, consistent with the company's guidance and down 12 percent to last year's normalized EPS of $0.55. (A reconciliation of the results "as reported" to results "excluding charges" is included below.)
Income from continuing operations, as reported, was $92.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $143.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the prior year.
Operating cash flow was $1.9 million, compared to $158.3 million for the prior year. The difference was largely attributable to timing of cash payments and lower net income. Capital expenditures were $38.2 million in the second quarter, compared to $36.4 million for the prior year.
A reconciliation of the second quarter 2008 and last year's results is as follows:

  Q2 2008  Q2 2007
Diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations (as reported):   $0.33$0.51

Project Acceleration restructuring costs   $0.16$0.04

Diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations (excluding charges): $0.49$0.55

One-time event --

"Normalized" EPS:  $0.49$0.55

Six Months Results
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 grew 5.9 percent to $3.26 billion, compared to $3.08 billion in the prior year. The acquisitions of Technical Concepts and Aprica together contributed 2.5 percent of sales growth. Internal sales growth, which excludes the effect of significant acquisitions, was 3.4 percent for the six months. Double-digit increases in the Rubbermaid Commercial, Rubbermaid Food and European and Asia Pacific Office Products businesses and high single digit growth in the Home & Family segment led the sales improvement, offsetting declines in the North American Office Products and Decor businesses. Foreign currency contributed 3.1 percent.
Gross margin was 34.2 percent, a 90 basis point decline versus prior year results, primarily as a result of dramatically higher cost inflation.
Normalized earnings, which exclude Project Acceleration restructuring costs and related impairment charges and one-time tax benefits, were $0.76 per share, as compared with the prior year's result of $0.83 per share. (A reconciliation of the results "as reported" to results "excluding charges" is included below.)
Income from continuing operations, as reported, was $149.9 million, or $0.54 per share, compared to $208.3 million, or $0.75 per share, in the prior year.
Net cash used in operating activities was $121.3 million, compared to a source of $172.8 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures were $78.2 million, compared to $69.0 million for the prior year.
A reconciliation of the first six months 2008 and last year's results is as follows:

YTD Q2 2008  YTD Q2 2007
Diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations (as reported)$0.54$0.75

Project Acceleration restructuring costs   $0.22$0.09

Diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations (excluding charges)  $0.76$0.84

Tax benefits   -   ($0.01)

"Normalized" EPS:  $0.76$0.83


2008 Full Year Guidance
The company reiterated its guidance for net sales growth of between six and eight percent for the full year, including the impact of the Technical Concepts and Aprica acquisitions. Internal sales growth, which excludes the effect of significant acquisitions, continues to be projected at between two and four percent for the full year, in large part driven by stronger foreign currency in combination with internal sales growth in the Rubbermaid Commercial and Rubbermaid Food businesses and the Home & Family segment. The impact of recently announced pricing initiatives will be largely offset by anticipated volume declines related to the exiting of certain product lines.
Due to dramatic increases in raw material and sourced finished goods inflation, which are expected to more than offset pricing, ongoing productivity improvements and Project Acceleration savings, the company now anticipates gross margin will contract 100 to 175 basis points versus last year. The company remains committed to increasing its investment in strategic brand building and corporate initiatives.
Consistent with the guidance provided in its July 15 press release, the company expects normalized earnings of between $1.40 and $1.60 per diluted share.
As a result primarily of lower net income and the timing of certain working capital items, operating cash flow is now expected to be between $350 million and $400 million for the full year, compared to previous guidance of between $600 million and $650 million. This guidance reflects the company's expectation of a significant improvement in cash flow in the back half of the year compared with the first six months of 2008 due to seasonality of the business and planned actions to reduce working capital. The cash flow guidance provided assumes approximately $80 million in restructuring cash payments. Capital expenditures projections are unchanged at $160 to $180 million.
2008 Third Quarter Guidance
For the third quarter, the company anticipates net sales growth of between six and seven percent and internal sales growth of two to four percent, driven primarily by the impact of favorable foreign currency and continued strength in Rubbermaid Commercial, Rubbermaid Food, our international businesses and the Home & Family segment.
The company expects to generate normalized earnings in a range from $0.31 to $0.35 per diluted share, as compared with $0.52 last year. The expected decline is a result of higher cost inflation in raw materials and sourced products, and continued investment in strategic initiatives.
A reconciliation of the third quarter and full year 2008 earnings outlook is as follows:

   Q3 2008  FY 2008
Diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations (as reported):$0.11 - $0.15$0.78 - $0.91

Project Acceleration restructuring costs   $0.05 to $0.09   $0.46 to $0.59

Diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations (excluding charges):  $0.18 - $0.22$1.27 - $1.47

One-time event  $0.13   $0.13

"Normalized" EPS:   $0.31 - $0.35$1.40 - $1.60

"One-time event" reflects the net of tax impact of the company's third quarter purchase of a call option with respect to its $250 million of 6.35% Reset notes due 2028 for approximately $52 million. The call option holder had the right to remarket these notes in July 2008 and again in July 2018. The company utilized its commercial paper program to fund the purchase of the call option and the redemption of the notes in order to pursue more favorable financing terms.
