Highlights from operations:

  • 3Q 2021 sales increased 20 percent year-over-year and approached $2.0 billion
  • 3Q 2021 earnings per share (EPS) increased 24 percent to $1.45 per share versus the prior-year-quarter; EPS before charges / gains increased 25 percent year-over-year to $1.49
  • Company on track to deliver both record performance in 2021 and long-term growth and margin targets
  • Company revising 2021 full year financial outlook to reflect near-term supply chain and labor availability challenges

Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS, the “Company”, or “Fortune Brands”), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced third quarter 2021 results.

“Our teams produced very strong results in an extremely challenging environment,” said Nicholas Fink, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands. “Demand remains strong across our portfolio and our investments in innovation, capacity, and digital transformation continue to accelerate the value proposition behind our world-class brands. While supply chain and labor availability headwinds have increased, we are addressing these challenges head-on. We continue to develop and deploy our Fortune Brands Advantage capabilities to further reduce complexity and increase our efficiencies in global sourcing. These actions will help offset these near-term headwinds while also increasing our ability to invest further. The steps we are taking position the Company for continued outperformance and will contribute to achieving our long-term goals in this elongating and expanding housing market.”

Third Quarter 2021

For the third quarter of 2021, sales approached $2.0 billion, an increase of 20 percent over the third quarter of 2020. Earnings per share were $1.45, compared to $1.17 in the prior-year quarter. EPS before charges / gains were $1.49, compared to $1.19 in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 25 percent. Operating income was $286.6 million, compared to $240.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income before charges / gains was $293.3 million, compared to $244.2 million in the prior-year quarter, up 20 percent. Operating margin was 14.4 percent, compared to 14.5 percent in the third quarter of 2020. Operating margin before charges / gains was 14.8 percent, even versus the third quarter of 2020.

For each segment in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the prior-year quarter:

  • Plumbing sales increased approximately 26 percent, or 23 percent excluding FX, the result of strong performance across the business. Operating margin before charges / gains was 22.6 percent.
  • Outdoors & Security sales increased approximately 30 percent, driven by the addition of LARSON and organic growth of 6 percent. Operating margin before charges / gains was 15.6 percent.
  • Cabinets sales increased by over 9 percent, driven by strong growth across all price points. Operating margin before charges / gains was 9.7 percent.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Share Repurchase Authorization

At the end of the quarter, net debt was $2.2 billion and net debt to EBITDA was 1.7x. The Company had $461 million in cash and $410 million of availability under its revolving credit facility.

During the third quarter, the Company repurchased $114 million in common stock and as of October 26, 2021, has repurchased over $380 million in common stock during 2021.

Update to Annual Outlook for 2021

The Company expects to continue outperforming a fundamentally strong housing market. The Company now anticipates delivering full-year sales growth in the range of 24.5 percent to 25.5 percent, or 17.5 percent to 18.5 percent excluding the LARSON acquisition. This reflects the Company’s revised assumptions of a global home products market now expanding by approximately 11 percent to 12 percent, including growth in the U.S. home products market of approximately 12 percent to 13 percent.

The Company now expects EPS before charges / gains for the full year to be in the range of $5.63 to $5.73, representing an increase at the midpoint of 36 percent versus a year ago.

For 2021, the Company expects to generate free cash flow of approximately $625 to $675 million.

“Our business remains well positioned to achieve our long-term goals,” said Patrick Hallinan, chief financial officer, Fortune Brands. “While the near-term backdrop has become increasingly dynamic, we have the talent and capabilities to overcome these challenges. We continue to see high consumer demand and multiple pathways for earnings growth. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we have the ability to deploy capital to pursue the best returns for our shareholders.”

*** 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 disposition of assets including property, plant and equipment, and 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.

(1) Restructuring charges are costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and include workforce reduction costs.
 
(2) "Other charges" represent charges 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. In total, we recognized charges of $1.7 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $2.4 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. In addition, in our Outdoors & Security segment, other charges also include an acquisition-related inventory step-up expense (LARSON) of $3.4 million classified in cost of products sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



At Corporate, other charges include $1.4 million of external costs directly related to evaluation of acquisition targets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The costs include expenditures for accounting, tax and other similar services. Also, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, other charges include $0.3 million for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services directly related to the acquisition of LARSON classified in selling, general and administrative expenses and a pre-tax charge of $0.2 million for a loss on sale of a Corporate asset.

Operating margin is calculated as operating income derived in accordance with GAAP divided by GAAP net sales. Before charges/gains operating margin is operating income derived in accordance with GAAP, excluding restructuring and other charges, divided by GAAP net sales. Before charges/gains operating margin is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by FBHS 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.
