Fourth Quarter 2009 Results:
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $24.6 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, versus a loss of $42.4 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in last year’s fourth quarter. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 included non-cash asset impairment charges of $54.0 million, or $1.12 per diluted share. After adjusting for the non-cash impairment charges, fourth quarter 2008 net income was $11.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $341.6 million, down 2.5 percent versus the fourth quarter of 2008. Foreign currency translation and acquisitions positively impacted net revenue growth by 1.8 and 0.6 percentage points, respectively. Lower volume and lower average selling prices reduced net revenue growth by 4.5 and 0.4 percentage points, respectively. Gross margin was up more than 600 basis points versus the fourth quarter of 2008, primarily due to significantly lower raw material costs. Investments for growth continued in the fourth quarter. These investments, together with higher variable compensation expense, largely led to the increase in SG&A expense versus the prior year. Overall, EBITDA margin2 for the fourth quarter increased 400 basis points year-over-year to 14.1 percent.
On a sequential basis, net revenue increased 8 percent compared to the third quarter, supported by generally more favorable end-market conditions together with new business wins. Gross margin was relatively flat versus the third quarter. Although raw material costs increased and pricing declined slightly, reformulation efforts and higher volumes mitigated a large portion of the impact. SG&A expense increased approximately 5 percent versus the third quarter, driven primarily by additional investments in talent made in the fourth quarter. Overall, EBITDA margin2 improved 40 basis points versus the third quarter.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2009 total cash was $100 million and total debt was $214 million, compared to third quarter levels of $180 million and $244 million, respectively. Consequently, net debt increased $50 million on a sequential basis. The increase in net debt was primarily attributable to pension contributions made during the fourth quarter. Cash flow from operations, before pension contributions, was $79 million in the fourth quarter compared to $8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. This year’s fourth quarter cash flow from operations includes the impact from the $18.8 million settlement received from the lawsuit against the former owners of the Roanoke Companies Group.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company made pension contributions into both its U.S. and German pension plans. In total, $125 million was contributed, $75 million into the U.S. plan and $50 million into the German plan. These contributions were funded through cash on hand and additional borrowing under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The contributions were designed to bring each plan up to a fully funded status at fiscal year-end. Including the $10 million pension contribution made into the U.S. plan in the third quarter, total contributions into these plans were $135 million for the year.
Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Company agreed to issue $150 million in senior unsecured notes in the U.S. private placement market. The proceeds from the offering will be used to pay down the Company’s revolving credit facility, leaving this facility largely unutilized.
Fiscal Year 2009:
“We are very pleased with our performance in 2009 and the steady, incremental improvements we made throughout the year. Despite persistent weak end-market demand conditions, we remained focused and determined in executing our long-term growth strategy,” said Michele Volpi, H.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer. “In 2009, we executed on a number of fronts and made H.B. Fuller a stronger company. We invested in several key talent additions throughout the organization and we built up the customer facing sides of our business through numerous investments in sales, marketing, and technical service. In addition, we acquired new value-added technologies through the acquisition of Nordic Adhesives and we directly invested for geographic expansion in both Asia Pacific and the Middle East through the addition of new manufacturing capacity in China and Egypt. We are proud of our team’s ability to execute on multiple fronts and to advance our strategy, while remaining focused on delivering improved financial performance and outperforming the market in a challenging year.”
Net income for fiscal year 2009 was $83.7 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, versus $18.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in 2008. This year’s net income included both a non-cash “true-up” for the estimated goodwill impairment charge taken at the end of fiscal year 2008 and a gain related to the settlement of a lawsuit against the former owners of the Roanoke Companies Group. The “true-up” charge reduced net income by $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, and the settlement increased net income by $11.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. Excluding these items, net income for the full year would have been $1.47 per diluted share versus the reported results of $1.70 per diluted share. In addition, last year’s net income included non-cash asset impairment charges of $54.3 million, or $1.06 per diluted share. Excluding these impairment charges, fiscal year 2008 net income was $73.2 million, or $1.41 per diluted share. Therefore, on an adjusted (comparable) basis, diluted EPS increased 4 percent in 2009 relative to the prior year.

Net revenue for fiscal year 2009 was $1.235 billion, down 11.3 percent versus fiscal year 2008. Higher average selling prices and acquisitions positively impacted net revenue growth by 3.3 and 0.6 percentage points, respectively. Lower volume and unfavorable foreign currency translation adversely impacted net revenue growth by 11.7 and 3.5 percentage points, respectively. Consequently, organic sales declined by 8.4 percent year-over-year in 2009.
Fiscal 2010 Outlook:
“As we begin 2010, much remains uncertain,” said Volpi. “However, we are confident that regardless of the end-user demand environment, we will continue to outperform the market with respect to revenue growth. In 2009, we successfully expanded customer relationships and landed sizable new business. We fully expect this trend to continue. With respect to gross margin, we will strive to maintain profitability around current levels, but we do expect to face low-to-mid single-digit raw material cost inflation in 2010. We will utilize our reformulation capabilities and pricing to mitigate the impact of this uncertain inflationary raw material environment. Regarding SG&A expense, we will accelerate our investments in the business to further support and drive consistent profitable growth. Resources to all the customer-centric functions of the business will be enhanced.”
The following highlights the Company’s expectations for several key metrics in its 2010 financial outlook:
| | • | | Total pension expense globally (including post-retirement health obligations in the U.S.) is planned to be $5.5 million in 2010, about $4.5 million higher than in 2009; |
| | • | | Interest expense in 2010 will increase by about $4 million relative to 2009 due to an overall increase in rates and a higher proportion of fixed rate debt in 2010 relative to 2009; |
| | • | | Capital expenditures in 2010 are expected to be approximately $25 million; |
| | • | | The Company’s effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, is expected to be 34 percent in 2010, in-line with fiscal year 2009 on the same basis. |
Conference Call:
The Company will host an investor conference call to discuss fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009 results on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. central time (10:30 a.m. eastern time).

Fourth quarter and full-year 2008 adjusted diluted EPS exclude after-tax impairment charges of $54.0 million ($1.12 per diluted share) and $54.3 million ($1.06 per diluted share), respectively. Fiscal year 2009 excludes an after-tax “true-up” for the estimated goodwill impairment charge taken at the end of 2008 of $0.5 million and an after-tax gain from the settlement received from the former owners of the Roanoke Companies Group of $11.8 million; in total these items netted to a benefit of $11.3 million ($0.23 per diluted share). Full reconciliations for each period are provided in the tables above. |
