Fortune Brands’ Results Solidly Ahead of Expectations Amid an Anticipated Challenging Macro Environment; Increases Full-Year 2023 EPS Guidance

Highlights:

  • Q1 2023 sales were $1.0 billion, a decrease of 9 percent versus Q1 2022
  • Q1 2023 earnings per share (EPS) were $0.67, a decrease of 29 percent versus a year ago; EPS before charges / gains were $0.69, a decrease of 24 percent versus Q1 2022
  • Full-year EPS range adjusted upward to reflect operating outperformance and share repurchases

Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE: FBIN or “Fortune Brands” or the “Company”), an industry-leading home, security and commercial building products company, today announced first quarter 2023 results.

“Our solid results for our first full quarter as Fortune Brands Innovations speak to the true potential of our new Company,” said Fortune Brands Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Fink. “We took proactive steps to prepare for an expected challenging 2023, while also focusing on long-term growth. By leveraging our Fortune Brands Advantage capabilities and focusing on building leading brands, driving meaningful innovation, and collaborating with our channel partners, we will continue to position the Company for outperformance in any environment.”

Fink continued, “Looking forward, we remain confident in the mid- to long-term strength of the housing market. Our leading products play in the most attractive, highest growth areas of our markets, and our more balanced exposure to new construction and smaller-ticket repair and remodel should position us to capture exceptional opportunities as the housing market returns to growth.”

First Quarter 2023 Results

For the first quarter of 2023, sales were $1.0 billion, a decrease of 9 percent over the first quarter of 2022. Operating income was $131.8 million, compared to $179.8 million in the prior-year quarter, a decrease of 27 percent. Operating income before charges / gains was $136.7 million versus $176.0 million in 2022. Operating margin was 12.7 percent, compared to 15.8 percent in the first quarter of 2022. Operating margin before charges / gains was 13.1 percent, compared to 15.4 percent in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of 230 basis points.

For each segment in the first quarter of 2023, compared to the prior-year quarter:

  • Water Innovations sales decreased 8 percent, primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by price. Excluding the impact of FX and the Aqualisa acquisition, net sales also decreased 8 percent. Operating margin before charges / gains was 21.6 percent.
  • Outdoors sales decreased 16 percent, driven by lower sales volume in part due to channel inventory reductions and a return to normal seasonality across the segment, partially offset by price. Operating margin before charges / gains was 5.2 percent.
  • Security sales increased 2 percent, driven by price and continued growth in the commercial safety business. Operating margin before charges / gains was 14.0 percent.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At the end of the quarter, net debt was $2.1 billion and net debt to EBITDA was 2.3x. The Company had $539 million in cash and full availability under its $1.25 billion revolving credit facility. The Company repurchased approximately $100 million in common stock in the quarter. Free cash flow was positive for the quarter, reflecting the favorable impact of the Company’s working capital and inventory reduction efforts.

Annual Outlook

The Company is increasing the midpoint of full-year EPS before charges / gains guidance by $0.05 to a range of $3.65 to $3.85, reflecting the Company’s operational outperformance amid an external environment that is expected to remain challenging and the impact of share repurchases. The Company continues to expect a global housing market decline of 6.5 percent to 8.5 percent with full-year net sales down in the range of 5 percent to 7 percent, operating margins between 16 percent and 17 percent, EBITDA margins before charges / gains of between 19 percent and 20 percent and free cash flow of approximately $475 million.

“We delivered solid sales and financial performance in an external operating environment that we expect will continue to be volatile,” said Fortune Brands Chief Financial Officer David Barry. “Our financial position is strong, and our teams remain agile in the face of macro headwinds. We will continue to position the Company for success by prioritizing above-market sales growth, margin preservation and enhancement and cash generation.”

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 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 including the expected benefits and costs of the separation (the “Separation”) of MasterBrand, Inc. (“MasterBrand”) and the tax-free nature of the Separation, 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” 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 associated with our ability to improve organizational productivity and global supply chain efficiency and flexibility, (vii) risks associated with global commodity and energy availability and price volatility, as well as the possibility of sustained inflation, (viii) delays or outages in our information technology systems or computer networks, (ix) risks associated with doing business globally, including changes in trade-related tariffs and risks with uncertain trade environments, (x) risks associated with the disruption of operations, (xi) our inability to obtain raw materials and finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner, (xii) risks associated with entering into potential strategic acquisitions and joint ventures and related integration activities, (xiii) impairments in the carrying value of goodwill or other acquired intangible assets, (xiv) risk of increases in our defined benefit-related costs and funding requirements, (xv) the uncertainties relating to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, financial performance and operating results, (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) changes in government and industry regulatory standards, (xx) future tax law changes or the interpretation of existing tax laws, (xxi) our ability to secure and protect our intellectual property rights, (xxii) potential liabilities and costs from claims and litigation, (xxiii) our ability to achieve the expected benefits of the Separation of MasterBrand, (xxiv) the risk that we may be required to indemnify MasterBrand in connection with the Separation or that MasterBrand’s indemnities to us may not be sufficient to hold us harmless for the full amount of liabilities for which MasterBrand has been allocated responsibility and (xxv) the potential that the Separation fails to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 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 31, 2022. 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.

Restricted cash of $1.3 million and $3.0 million is included in Other current assets and Other assets, respectively, as of March 31, 2022. Note that our net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2022 represents the combined cash flows of both our continuing and discontinued operations.
 
** 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.

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.

Additional Information:
 
On January 19, 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.
 
In February 2023, we publicly announced an internal reorganization to separate our Outdoors & Security segment under separate leadership to drive innovation, accelerate product development, and enhance investments and business processes. In conjunction with the reorganization, we changed how our chief operating decision maker evaluates and allocates the resources for the combined business. Separate reporting for the new Outdoors and Security segments began in the first quarter of 2023 and historical financial segment information has been restated to conform to the new segment presentation.
 
In the first quarter of 2022, our Plumbing segment was renamed Water Innovations in order to better align with our key brands and organizational purpose. The Plumbing segment name change is to the name only and had no impact on the Company’s historical financial position, results of operations, cash flow or segment level results previously reported.
 
In 2018, our Water Innovations segment entered into a strategic partnership with, and acquired non-controlling equity interests in, Flo, a U.S. manufacturer of comprehensive water monitoring and shut-off systems with leak detection technologies. In January 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Flo in a multi-phase transaction. As part of this agreement, we acquired a majority of Flo’s outstanding shares during 2020 and entered into a forward contract to purchase all remaining shares of Flo during the first quarter of 2022 for a price based on a multiple of Flo’s 2021 sales and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes. On January 30, 2022, we made a final cash payment of $16.7 million to the legacy minority shareholders to acquire such shares which is reflected within Other financing, net in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
In January 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Solar Innovations, a leading producer of wide-opening exterior door systems and outdoor enclosures, for a purchase price of $61.6 million, net of cash acquired of $4.8 million. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The results of Solar are reported as part of the Outdoors segment. Its complementary product offerings support the segment’s outdoor living strategy.
 
 
In July 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Aqualisa, a leading U.K. manufacturer of shower products known for premium, innovative, smart digital shower systems, for a purchase price of $156.0 million, net of cash acquired of $4.8 million. The results of Aqualisa are reported as part of the Water Innovations segment. Its product offerings will enable us to continue to leverage growing trends in water management and connected products. We financed the transaction with borrowings under our existing credit facilities. We have not included pro forma financial information as it is immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 29, 2022, was $156.0 million.
 
On December 14, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced spin-off of its Cabinets business, MasterBrand, Inc. ("MasterBrand") (the "Spin-off"), in a tax-free transaction to the Company and our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, creating two independent, publicly traded companies. In addition, the Company's name changed from "Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc." to "Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc." and its stock ticker changed from "FBHS" to "FBIN" each of which became effective subsequent to the completion of the Spin-off. The operating results of the Cabinets business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
