Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE: FBIN or “Fortune Brands” or the “Company”), an industry-leading innovation company focused on creating smarter, safer and more beautiful homes and improving lives, today announced second quarter 2024 results.

“Our teams continued to execute at a high level in a dynamic market. We delivered solid second quarter sales as our core U.S. products outperformed the market and we saw acceleration in our digital products,” said Fortune Brands Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Fink. “We also delivered strong operating margins, which are a tangible result of our organizational realignment and the other transformational actions we have taken over the past few years.”

Fink continued, “Finally, we announced several significant accelerants to our digital strategy, including with major insurance providers, municipalities and technology partners. I am proud of the continued investments and progress we have made, particularly in an uneven and dynamic external environment.”

Updated 2024 Market and Financial Guidance

“Amidst a dynamic market, we are now updating our full-year guidance to reflect our expectations for continued out-performance driven by our core businesses, with particular strength in our Outdoors segment and our Moen North America business, and our accelerating digital sales, which are offset by weaker China sales. Importantly, we are narrowing the range around our prior EPS before charges / gains mid-point due to expected growth in our core and digital businesses and strong margin performance,” said Fortune Brands Chief Financial Officer David Barry. “As we position Fortune Brands for long-term shareholder value creation, we will continue to prioritize above-market sales growth opportunities, margin expansion and cash generation, while continuing to effectively manage costs and invest in a strategic set of key priorities.”

For certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures (as used in this press release, operating margin before charges / gains on a full Company and segment basis, EPS before charges / gains and cash conversion), the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and / or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans, which are excluded from EPS before charges / gains and cash conversion, and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from operating margin before charges / gains, EPS before charges / gains and cash conversion. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.

Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical statements of fact and those regarding our intent, belief or expectations for our business, operations, financial performance or financial condition in addition to statements regarding our expectations for the markets in which we operate, general business strategies, the market potential of our brands, trends in the housing market, the potential impact of costs, including material and labor costs, the potential impact of inflation, expected capital spending, expected pension contributions, the expected impact of acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions, the anticipated impact of recently issued accounting standards on our financial statements, and other matters that are not historical in nature. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “outlook,” “positioned,” "confident," "opportunity" and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may,” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. 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 current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections of our management about our industry, business and future financial results, available at the time this press release is issued. 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, including but not limited to: (i) our reliance on the North American and Chinese home improvement, repair and remodel and new home construction activity levels, (ii) the housing market, downward changes in the general economy, unfavorable interest rates or other business conditions, (iii) the competitive nature of consumer and trade brand businesses, (iv) our ability to execute on our strategic plans and the effectiveness of our strategies in the face of business competition, (v) our reliance on key customers and suppliers, including wholesale distributors and dealers and retailers, (vi) risks relating to rapidly evolving technological change, (vii) risks associated with our ability to improve organizational productivity and global supply chain efficiency and flexibility, (viii) risks associated with global commodity and energy availability and price volatility, as well as the possibility of sustained inflation, (ix) delays or outages in our information technology systems or computer networks or breaches of our information technology systems or other cybersecurity incidents, (x) risks associated with doing business globally, including changes in trade-related tariffs and risks with uncertain trade environments, (xi) risks associated with the disruption of operations, (xii) our inability to obtain raw materials and finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner, (xiii) risks associated with strategic acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures, including difficulties integrating acquired companies and the inability to achieve the expected financial results and benefits of transactions, (xiv) impairments in the carrying value of goodwill or other acquired intangible assets, (xv) risks of increases in our defined benefit-related costs and funding requirements, (xvi) our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and other labor constraints, (xvii) the effect of climate change and the impact of related changes in government regulations and consumer preferences, (xviii) risks associated with environmental, social and governance matters, (xix) potential liabilities and costs from claims and litigation, (xx) changes in government and industry regulatory standards, (xxi) future tax law changes or the interpretation of existing tax laws, (xxii) our ability to secure and protect our intellectual property rights, and (xxiii) the impact of COVID-19 on the business. These and other factors are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023. We undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any such obligation to, update or clarify any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or changes to future results over time or otherwise, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), such as diluted earnings per share before charges / gains, operating income before charges / gains, operating margin before charges / gains, net debt, net debt to EBITDA before charges / gains, sales excluding the impact of acquisitions (organic sales), free cash flow and cash conversion. These non-GAAP 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. Reconciliations of these measures to the applicable most closely comparable GAAP measures, and reasons for the Company’s use of these measures, are presented in the attached pages.

** Free cash flow is cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") less capital expenditures. 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.

Restructuring charges, which include costs incurred for significant cost reduction initiatives and workforce reduction costs by segment, totaled $3.9 million and $6.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024, respectively, and $22.2 million and $25.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2023, respectively.

 

(2)

Other charges/gains represent costs that are directly related to restructuring initiatives but cannot be reported as restructuring costs under GAAP. These costs can include losses from disposing of inventories, trade receivables allowances from discontinued product lines, accelerated depreciation due to the closure of facilities, and gains or losses from selling previously closed facilities. During the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024, total other charges were $12.9 million and $22.0 million, respectively. For the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2023, total charges were $6.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

Operating margin is calculated as the operating income in accordance with GAAP, divided by the GAAP net sales. The before charges/gains operating margin is calculated as the operating income, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains, divided by the GAAP net sales. This before charges/gains operating margin is not a measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by the Company and its business segments. Management believes that this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's underlying performance from period to period. However, this measure may not be consistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net sales to organic net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions on net sales is net sales derived in accordance with GAAP excluding impact of the acquisitions of SpringWell and Emtek and Schaub in our Water segment and the acquisition of Yale and August in our Security segment on net sales. Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of its segments and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the segment from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

 
 

Definitions of Terms: Non-GAAP Measures

 

(a) Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is calculated as operating income derived in accordance with GAAP, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains. Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by the Company and its business segments. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

 

(b) Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations before charges/gains is calculated as income from continuing operations on a diluted per-share basis, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains. This measure is not in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's overall performance and believes it provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's underlying performance from period to period. However, this measure may not be consistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

 

(c) EBITDA before charges/gains is calculated as income from continuing operations, net of tax in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges/gains, interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to assess returns generated by the Company. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions and repay debt and related interest. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

 

(d) At Corporate, other charges also include expenditures of $2.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended December 30, 2023, $16.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2023, and $17.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2023, for external banking, legal, accounting, and other similar services directly related to our ASSA transaction.

 

(e) In Outdoors, other charges include charges for compensation arrangement with the former owner of Solar classified in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended December 30, 2023, $0.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 1,2023, and $1.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2023.

 

(f) For the twenty-six weeks ended December 30, 2023, the amortization of inventory step-up associated with the acquisition of the ASSA business was $3.5 million for the Water segment and $8.9 million for the Security segment.

 

(g) Asset impairment charges for the twenty-six weeks ended December 30, 2023 represent pre-tax impairment charges of $33.5 million related to indefinite-lived tradenames in our Outdoors segment.
 

Additional Information:

In January 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change to the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31 to a 52-or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest but not subsequent to December 31, effective as of the commencement of the Company’s fiscal year on January 1, 2023. This change was made in order to align the Company’s fiscal year with that of its operating businesses and to align the Company’s reporting calendar with how the Company evaluates its businesses. There was no material impact to any of our previously disclosed financial information.

 

For certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures (as used in this press release, operating margin before charges/gains, EPS before charges/gains and cash conversion), the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans, which are excluded from our diluted EPS before charges/gains and cash conversion, and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from our operating margin before charges/gains, diluted EPS before charges/gains and cash conversion. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.
