Exhibit 99.1
Spectrum Brands Announces a Strong Start to Fiscal 2010
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 9, 2010--Spectrum Brands (the “Company”) (OTC: SPEB) today announced strong financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2010. Consolidated net sales were $591.9 million, up 7.9 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Including an adjustment related to the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting as well as restructuring and related charges, professional fees and other items, the Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $60.2 million compared with a net loss of $112.6 million for the same period of fiscal 2009. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of profitability which the Company believes is a useful indicator of the operating health of the business and its trends, was $81.4 million, up $27.7 million, or 51.6 percent, over the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
“Spectrum Brands is off to a strong start for fiscal 2010,” said Kent Hussey, CEO of Spectrum Brands. “With expanding market share in many of our key product lines, we are seeing the initiatives we have implemented over the last several years, which were intended to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, deliver positive results as our businesses generated significantly improved adjusted EBITDA that was 51.6 percent above first quarter of fiscal 2009 levels. While we face significant competitive pressures in the quarters ahead and consumers remain cautious, this start to our year should allow us to achieve adjusted EBITDA in the range of $335 million to $345 million for the full year fiscal 2010.”
Fresh-Start Reporting
As a reminder to readers, in connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 on August 28, 2009 and in accordance with ASC Topic 852, “Reorganization,” the Company adopted fresh-start reporting on August 30, 2009. At that time, the recorded amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect their fair value. As a result, the reported historical financial statements of the “Predecessor Company”, which encompasses results of operations prior to August 30, 2009 are not comparable to those of the “Successor Company”, whose results encompass the results of operations on and after August 30, 2009. (See Note 2, “Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11”, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 for additional information on fresh-start reporting.)
First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Consolidated Financial Results
The Company reported consolidated net sales of $591.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared with $548.5 million for the same period last year. This increase was driven by solid growth in North American battery sales, strength in European shaving and grooming and in global companion animal sales, as well as the start of a recovery in Latin America. Consolidated net sales for the quarter were favorably impacted by $28.9 million of foreign exchange.
The Company reported a net loss of $60.2 million, or $2.01 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. As a result of the cancellation of the Company’s old common stock upon its emergence from bankruptcy on August 28, 2009 and because earnings per share calculations performed prior to that date would not reflect the Company’s new capital structure, the Company did not include a discussion of the comparison of the earnings per share to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 in this release.
Excluding certain items which management believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing normalized operations, the Company generated adjusted basic earnings per share of $0.16, a non-GAAP number. These excluded items, net of tax, include:
- An inventory write-up related to the valuation of the Company as a result of fresh-start reporting of $0.75 per share;
- Restructuring and related charges of $0.14 per share;
- Professional fees related to the Company’s voluntary filing and subsequent emergence from Chapter 11 of $0.08 per share;
- Net loss from discontinued operations of $0.09 per share related to the Company’s growing products portion of the Home and Garden business, whose shutdown was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2009;
- Net tax adjustments of $1.16 per share to exclude the effect of certain adjustments made to the valuation allowance against net deferred taxes and other tax related items; and
- Other items netting to a benefit of $0.05 per share.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $81.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $53.7 million for the same period of fiscal 2009. In addition to benefitting from increases in revenue, as well as numerous cost cutting, efficiency enhancing and SKU rationalization initiatives, foreign exchange positively impacted the quarter’s consolidated adjusted EBITDA results by $7.9 million.
Liquidity
The Company ended its first quarter of fiscal 2010 on January 3, 2010 with $63 million in cash. Approximately $1,334 million was drawn under the Company’s senior term credit facilities, and approximately $72 million was drawn on the Company’s $242 million ABL facility as of such date.
Segment Level Data
Global Batteries and Personal Care
The positive trends seen during recent quarters in the Company’s Global Batteries and Personal Care segment continued through the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company reported $428.6 million in net sales from the Global Batteries and Personal Care segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $389.3 million for the same period last year due primarily to market share growth in North America and $25.0 million of positive foreign exchange impacts versus the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
With continued strength in North America as well as some encouraging signs of a recovery in Latin America, global battery sales were $243.7 million for the first quarter compared with $220.7 million for the same period last year. Foreign exchange positively impacted these results by $14.2 million. North American battery sales were $97.4 million for the quarter, up $9.4 million over the same period of 2009. In Europe, the company continued to exit unprofitable or marginally profitable SKUs and accounts. European battery sales, which benefited from $10.3 million of foreign exchange impacts were $100.8 million for the quarter, compared with $94.8 million for the same period last year. And, in Latin America where, as mentioned, the Company is starting to see success with its new marketing programs, sales for the first quarter were $45.5 million, compared with $38.0 million for the same period last year. Foreign exchange positively impacted the Latin American results by $3.3 million for the quarter.
Global sales of Remington branded products were $162.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 versus $144.9 million for the same period last year. Foreign exchange positively impacted these results by $9.7 million.
With the completion of numerous cost cutting measures as well as SKU reduction initiatives, the improvement in the top line within the Global Batteries and Personal Care segment resulted in a significant increase in adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter, this segment delivered $70.2 million of adjusted EBITDA, compared with $53.2 million for the same period last year, an improvement of 32.0 percent. Foreign exchange positively impacted these results by $7.3 million.
Global Pet Supplies
Strong sales of Dingo, Nature’s Miracle and consumable aquatics products were the major drivers of growth in the Global Pet Supplies segment. Net sales were $137.0 million, compared to $132.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Foreign exchange positively impacted sales in Global Pet Supplies by $3.8 million.
Benefiting from operating expense reductions and pricing initiatives primarily implemented in the second quarter of last year, the Company reported adjusted EBITDA for the Global Pet Supplies Segment of $22.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared with $17.6 million for the same period of fiscal 2009, a 25.7 percent increase. Foreign exchange did not significantly impact these results.
Home and Garden
During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which is typically a period of internal inventory building in advance of the selling season for the Home and Garden segment, the Company reported net sales from this segment of $26.3 million, essentially unchanged from the $26.8 million reported for the same period last year.
Benefiting from SKU reduction and cost cutting initiatives, the Company’s Home and Garden segment improved its adjusted EBITDA from a loss of $8.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to a loss of $4.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
Outlook
Although consolidated results for the fiscal first quarter of 2010 were strong, the Company expects that a cautious consumer and stepped-up competition in several business segments will continue to be challenges. Incorporating first quarter results with the latest forecast for the balance of the year, the Company now projects fiscal 2010 net sales growth of 3 to 5 percent over fiscal 2009 and adjusted EBITDA of between $335 million and $345 million for the full year fiscal 2010, which compares with $332 million of projected adjusted EBITDA provided in an 8-K on June 15, 2009 in association with the Company’s Chapter 11 proceedings. Free cash flow, which is defined as Cash from Operations less capital expenditures, is currently projected to be between $25 million to $35 million, net of cash payments related to the Company’s Chapter 11 filing and subsequent emergence including $45 million for professional fees, $21 million for prepetition payables coupled with $20 million in cash payments related to restructuring initiatives implemented prior to fiscal 2010.

Non-GAAP Measurements
Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Excluding the impact of current exchange rate fluctuations may provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying business trends. In addition, within this release, including the tables attached hereto, reference is made to adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and free cash flow. See attached Table 3, “Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share,” for a complete reconciliation of diluted loss per share on a GAAP basis to adjusted earnings per share, see attached Table 4, “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA,” for a reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended January 3, 2010 versus the three months ended December 28, 2008 on a consolidated basis and for each of the Company’s business segment, and Table 5, “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA” for reconciliation of projected GAAP Net Loss to adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ending September 30, 2010 on a consolidated basis and “Reconciliation of GAAP Cash Flow from Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow” for a reconciliation of GAAP cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow for the 12 months ending September 30, 2010. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community which provides insight into an organization’s operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company’s ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining the Company’s debt covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period. In addition, the Company’s management uses adjusted diluted earnings per share as one means of analyzing the Company’s current and future financial performance and identifying trends in its financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that adjusted diluted earnings per share is a useful measure for providing further insight into our operating performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. Also, management believes that free cash flow is useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt and meet its working capital requirements. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for pretax income (loss), net income (loss), cash provided by (used in) operating activities or other statement of operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and therefore, does not reflect funds available for investment or discretionary uses. The Company provides this information to investors to assist in comparisons of past, present and future operating results and to assist in highlighting the results of on-going operations. While the Company’s management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
