ScottsMiracle-Gro Announces Second Quarter Results; Strong Start to Lawn & Garden Season Leads to Sales of $1.17 Billion
- Consumer purchases up 8% year-to-date entering May; up 20% in Q2
- Scotts LawnService reports Q2 revenue increase of 10%
- Company reiterates full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.65 to $2.85
MARYSVILLE, Ohio, May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG), the world's largest marketer of branded consumer lawn and garden products, announced today that a record level of consumer purchases in March led to a 4 percent improvement in company-wide sales in the second quarter to $1.17 billion. Adjusted net income from continuing operations in the quarter was $133.2 million, or $2.15 per share.
Entering May, consumer purchases of the Company's products at its largest retail partners in the U.S. were up 8 percent, with growth in 45 states, all major retail channels and nearly all product categories.
"We are well positioned as we conclude the peak weeks of the lawn fertilizer season and move into the peak of gardening activity," said Jim Hagedorn, chairman and chief executive officer. "We have seen strong consumer engagement across the U.S. whenever the weather has cooperated as evidenced by the 20 percent increase in consumer purchases for the second quarter. Entering May, consumer purchases are up 8 percent, an outstanding result with growth and market share gains in nearly every category and region.
"I'm pleased that we are on track to deliver on the goals we set forth at the beginning of the year – to grow the industry and gain market share by leveraging the strengths of our industry-leading brands and in-store sales force, as well as our world-class supply chain. We remain confident in our guidance for full year sales growth of 6 to 8 percent and earnings per share of $2.65 to $2.85."
SECOND QUARTER DETAILS
Sales in the Company's largest segment, Global Consumer, increased 3 percent from last year to $1.12 billion. Sales in the U.S. business increased 3 percent while sales in the International business increased 5 percent, or 8 percent excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates. Due to planned increases in advertising spending, as well as lower gross margin rates, principally related to higher product costs, operating income for Global Consumer was $275.2 million, compared with $299.0 million for the same period a year ago.
Scotts LawnService reported a 10 percent increase in sales to $35.9 million. The operating loss in the quarter was $12.9 million, a 15 percent improvement from a year earlier. Scotts LawnService historically earns all of its profits in the second half of the fiscal year.
For the quarter, company-wide adjusted gross margin rate was 39.5 percent compared with 41.1 percent a year earlier. The decline was expected due to higher product costs and negative mix, both of which were partially offset by pricing of less than 1 percent.
"While the gross margin rate in the quarter was consistent with our expectations, we are closely monitoring recent trends in material and distribution costs, product mix and trade promotions," said Dave Evans, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "Continued negative trends in any of these areas increase the likelihood that gross margin rate could fall below the low end of the range that we outlined earlier this year."
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the quarter were $237.0 million, compared with $216.2 million, with the increase related to advertising spending.
Adjusted income from continuing operations was $133.2 million, or $2.15 per share, compared with $150.3 million, or $2.22 per share for the same period a year ago. Those results exclude the Company's Global Professional business, the sale of which was completed during the second quarter of 2011 and which is reflected in discontinued operations. Adjusted results also exclude charges related to product registration and recall matters, including adjustments to reserves for potential fines and penalties. They also exclude impairment, restructuring and other charges, incurred primarily as a result of issues related to the commercialization of products including the active ingredient MAT 28. These were non-cash charges. Including those items, reported income from continuing operations was $127.2 million, or $2.05 per share, compared with $148.6 million, or $2.20 per share last year.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $236.7 million, compared with $267.3 million a year ago.
YEAR-TO-DATE DETAILS
Company-wide net sales through the first six months were $1.38 billion, a 2 percent increase from a year ago. Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted sales growth by 50 basis points. Sales for Global Consumer were essentially flat at $1.27 billion and operating income was $205.8 million, compared with $243.9 million. Scotts LawnService sales increased 5 percent to $73.5 million. The operating loss for the segment was $17.5 million, an improvement of 11 percent from a loss of $19.7 million a year earlier.
For the first six months, company-wide adjusted gross margin rate was 35.2 percent compared with 37.8 percent in the same period last year. SG&A was flat at $360.0 million.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first six months was $152.1 million versus $192.3 million in the comparable period last year.
Adjusted income from continuing operations for the first six months – which excludes costs related to the product registration and recall matters as well as impairment, restructuring and other changes – was $61.1 million, or $0.99 per share, compared with $84.7 million, or $1.25 per share, a year earlier. Reported income from continuing operations was $53.3 million, or $0.86 per share, compared with $81.9 million, or $1.21 per share, for the same period last year.

The Company is divided into the following reportable segments: Global Consumer and Scotts LawnService®. This division of reportable segments is consistent with how the segments report to and are managed by the chief operating decision maker of the Company.
| |||||||||||||
|
Segment performance is evaluated based on several factors, including income from continuing operations before amortization, product registration and recall costs, impairment, restructuring and other charges, which is not a generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure. Senior management of the Company uses this measure of operating profit to gauge segment performance because we believe this measure is the most indicative of performance trends and the overall earnings potential of each segment. | |||||||||||||
|
Corporate & Other consists of the Company's professional seed business, revenues and expenses associated with the Company's supply agreements with Israel Chemicals Ltd. and the amortization related to the Roundup® Marketing Agreement, as well as corporate, general and administrative expenses and certain other income/expense items not allocated to the business segments. Corporate & Other assets primarily include deferred financing and debt issuance costs and corporate intangible assets, as well as deferred tax assets. | |||||||||||||

On February 28, 2011, the Company completed the sale of a significant majority of the assets of its global professional business (excluding the non-European professional seed business, "Global Pro"). As a result of the then-pending sale, effective in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of Global Pro to assets and liabilities held for sale and included the results of operations of Global Pro in discontinued operations for all periods presented. | |||||

The Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosure Items includes the following non-GAAP financial measures:
Adjusted EBITDA - This measure is calculated as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as certain other items such as the impact of the cumulative effect of changes in accounting, costs associated with debt refinancing and other non-recurring, non-cash items affecting net income. In addition, non-recurring cash items affecting net income or loss that are incurred between April 3, 2011 and June 30, 2012 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $40 million are also excluded from the determination of adjusted EBITDA. We believe this measure provides additional information for determining our ability to meet debt service requirements. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA herein is intended to be consistent with the calculation of that measure as required by our borrowing arrangements, and used to calculate a leverage ratio (maximum of 3.50 at March 31, 2012) and an interest coverage ratio (minimum of 3.50 for the twelve moths ended March 31, 2012). The Company was in compliance with the terms of all debt covenants at March 31, 2012.
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are the most indicative of the Company's ongoing earnings capabilities and that disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures therefore provides useful information to investors and other users of its financial statements, such as lenders. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |||||
