ST. LOUIS, May 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Energizer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ENR) today announced results for the second fiscal quarter, which ended March 31, 2020.  Net earnings from continuing operations were $13.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $62.3 million, or a $0.97 loss per diluted common share, in the prior year second quarter.  Adjusted Net earnings from continuing operations in the second quarter were $29.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share, compared to Adjusted Net earnings from continuing operations of $16.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2019.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights (Unaudited)

The following is a summary of key results for the second quarter of Fiscal 2020.  All comparisons are with the second quarter of Fiscal 2019 and represent continuing operations unless otherwise stated.

• Net sales were $587.0 million, an increase of 5.5%: (a)
• Organic Net sales increased $15.0 million, or 2.7%, primarily due to increased distribution in both segments and the net impact of COVID-19.
• The impact of one additional month of the Auto Care acquisition, which occurred on January 28, 2019, increased Net sales by $23.7 million, or 4.3%; and
• Unfavorable movement in foreign currencies, excluding Argentina, resulted in decreased sales of $7.4 million, or 1.4%.

• Gross margin percentage on a reported basis was 40.1%, versus 34.9% in the prior year. Excluding the current and prior year acquisition, integration and inventory step up costs, adjusted gross margin was 41.6%, up 100 basis points from the prior year, driven by realized synergies and improved material pricing partially offset by unfavorable channel and product mix, operational costs related to COVID-19 and foreign currency movements. (a)
  
  
• A&P was 3.9% of net sales, or $22.8 million, compared to 4.4% in the prior year, a decrease of $1.9 million due to the timing of spending for our broad portfolio as well as product and packaging innovation and promotional support for the auto care brands.
  
  
• SG&A, excluding acquisition and integration costs, was 18.4% of net sales, or $108.0 million, compared to prior year of 20.2% of net sales, a decrease of $4.2 million driven by synergy realization primarily due to transition service agreement (TSA) exits, lower mark to market expense on deferred compensation and reduced spending in the back half of the quarter due in part to COVID-19 impacts and restrictions. (a)
  
  
• Interest expense was $47.2 million compared to $77.2 million for the prior year comparative period. Excluding the prior year acquisition costs of $33.2 million, the current year Interest expense increased $3.2 million attributed to a higher average debt balance associated with the acquisitions. (a)
  
  
• Income tax rate on a year to date basis was 26.2% as compared to 46.9% in the prior year. The current year rate includes costs related to acquisition and integration in addition to the impact of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and provides, among other things, increased interest deduction limitations to companies which can decrease overall cash taxes paid. The prior year rate includes $1.5 million for the one-time impact of U.S. tax legislation passed in December 2017 and the impact of disallowed transaction costs resulting from the acquisitions, which drove a higher tax rate in the prior year. Excluding the impact of these Non-GAAP adjustments, the year to date tax rate was 22.6% as compared to 20.9% in the prior year. The increase in the rate versus prior year is due to the country mix of earnings which drove a higher foreign tax rate as well as the expiration of certain tax holidays in foreign jurisdictions. (a)
  
  
• Diluted net earnings from continuing operations per common share for the quarter was $0.14 and Adjusted Diluted net earnings from continuing operations per common share for the quarter was $0.37. (a)
  
  
• Net cash from operating activities from continuing operations on a year to date basis was $99.2 million and Adjusted Free cash flow from continuing operations on a year to date basis was $107.3 million, or 8.1% of net sales. (a)
  
  
• Dividend payments in the quarter were $21.0 million, or $0.30 per common share, and $4.1 million, or $1.875 per share of mandatory preferred convertible stock.
  
  
• Repurchased approximately 980,000 shares of common stock for $45.0 million.
  
  
• Discontinued operations reported a net loss of $131.4 million for the quarter. Included in these results is the net loss on the disposition of the Varta® consumer battery business to VARTA AG of $137.6 million. On January 2, 2020, the company completed the divestment of the Varta® consumer battery business to VARTA AG for an aggregate purchase price of €180 million, subject to purchase price adjustments. The cash proceeds received from VARTA AG and Spectrum, along with the related hedging arrangements, were approximately $346 million, which will be subject to a working capital settlement and other contractual adjustments which is expected to be completed in the third fiscal quarter. The Company utilized these proceeds to pay down term loan debt in the quarter.
  
  
• Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the company significantly increased financial flexibility through an add-on bond offering of $250.0 million to our 2026 Senior Notes and a credit agreement amendment which will lower our primary leverage covenant at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

• Channel and product mix in addition to trade investment reduced the organic increase by 0.8%.
• The Auto Care Acquisition, which occurred on January 28, 2019, contributed one additional month of Net sales of $23.7 million, or 4.3%.

Segment profit - FY'20		$	142.2			13.7	%		$	323.6			9.4	%

 

Total Segment profit in the second fiscal quarter increased $17.1 million, or 13.7%.  The organic increase of $14.7 million, or 11.8%, was driven by top-line organic growth, realized synergies and improved material pricing, lower A&P spending and favorable SG&A due to reduced spending driven in part by COVID-19 impacts and restrictions.  The impact of our Auto Care Acquisition was also favorable by $7.0 million, or 5.6%. Offsetting this favorable impact was our Argentina operations which had an unfavorable impact on segment profit of $0.3 million, or 0.2%, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $4.3 million, or 3.5%.

Financial Outlook for Fiscal 2020

The company has been able to operate effectively thus far in the environment relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to move forward with its integration efforts for the acquired battery and auto care businesses, with expected synergy realization remaining unchanged.

ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures
For the Quarter and Six Months Ended March 31, 2020

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP").  However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful comparisons to the corresponding historical or future period. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not reflective of the Company's on-going operating performance, such as acquisition and integration costs and related items, settlement loss on pension plan terminations, loss on extinguishment of debt, and the one-time impact of the CARES Act and the new U.S. tax legislation (December 2017).  In addition, these measures help investors to analyze year over year comparability when excluding currency fluctuations, acquisition activity as well as other company initiatives that are not on-going.  We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are an enhancement to assist investors in understanding our business and in performing analysis consistent with financial models developed by research analysts. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures.  In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted.

We provide the following non-GAAP measures and calculations, as well as the corresponding reconciliation to the closest GAAP measure in the following supplemental schedules:

Segment Profit.  This amount represents the operations of our two reportable segments including allocations for shared support functions.  General corporate and other expenses, global marketing expenses, R&D expenses, amortization expense, interest expense, other items, net, and the charges related to acquisition and integration costs have all been excluded from segment profit.

Adjusted Net Earnings From Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share - Continuing Operations (EPS).  These measures exclude the impact of the costs related to acquisition and integration, the loss on extinguishment of debt and the one-time impact of the new U.S. income tax legislation.

Non-GAAP Tax Rate. This is the tax rate when excluding the pre-tax impact of acquisition and integration costs and the loss on extinguishment of debt, as well as the related tax impact for these items, calculated utilizing the statutory rate for where the impact was incurred, as well as the one-time impact of the CARES Act and the U.S. tax legislation (December 2017).

Organic.  This is the non-GAAP financial measurement of the change in revenue or segment profit that excludes or otherwise adjusts for the impact of acquisitions, change in Argentina operations and impact of currency from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates as defined below:

Impact of acquisitions. Energizer completed the Auto Care Acquisition on January 28, 2019 and the Battery Acquisition on January 2, 2019. These adjustments include the impact of the acquisitions' ongoing operations contributed to each respective income statement caption for the first year's operations directly after the acquisition date. This does not include the impact of acquisition and integration costs associated with any acquisition.

Change in Argentina Operations. The Company is presenting separately all changes in sales and segment profit from our Argentina affiliate due to the designation of the economy as highly inflationary as of July 1, 2018.

Impact of currency. The Company evaluates the operating performance of our Company on a currency neutral basis.  The impact of currency is the difference between the value of current year foreign operations at the current period ending USD exchange rate, compared to the value of the current year foreign operations at the prior period ending USD exchange rate.

Adjusted Comparisons.  Detail for adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted SG&A as percent of sales, adjusted R&D, adjusted interest expense and adjusted Other items, net are also supplemental non-GAAP measure disclosures. These measures exclude the impact of costs related to acquisition and integration and the loss on extinguishment of debt.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by capital expenditures, net of the proceeds from asset sales. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Free Cash Flow excluding the cash payments for acquisition and integration expenses and integration capital expenditures. The expense cash payments are net of the statutory tax benefit associated with the payment.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net earnings before income tax provision, interest and depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the impact of the costs related to acquisition and integration, settlement loss on pension plan termination and share based payments.

Supplemental Schedules - Segment Information and Supplemental Sales Data
For the Quarter and Six Months Ended March 31, 2020 (In millions - Unaudited)

Operations for Energizer are managed via two major geographic reportable segments: Americas and International. Energizer's operating model includes a combination of standalone and shared business functions between the geographic segments, varying by country and region of the world.  Energizer applies a fully allocated cost basis, in which shared business functions are allocated between segments. Such allocations are estimates, and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a standalone basis.  Segment sales and profitability, as well as the reconciliation to earnings before tax, for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are presented below:
