Exhibit 99.1
Fortune Brands Reports First Quarter Results
DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2009--Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE: FO):
- Stability of Spirits Business and Lower Cost Structures Temper Impact of Challenging Economic Conditions
- All Three Businesses Performed At or Above Company’s Expectations
- First Quarter Results and Ongoing Initiatives Reinforce Company’s Confidence in Achieving Full-Year EPS Target
Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE: FO), the company behind leading consumer brands including Jim Beam, Titleist and Moen, today reported results for the first quarter of 2009. Reflecting the impact of the challenging economic environment and adverse foreign exchange, net sales were $1.44 billion, down 20%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.05, impacted by factors including the lower sales, adverse foreign exchange, negative operating leverage in the seasonally smallest quarter for home products, and charges for supply-chain initiatives. Excluding one-time items, EPS before charges/gains was $0.30 as higher operating income before charges in the spirits business and lower cost structures tempered the impact of the sustained U.S. housing downturn and the global recession.
“Against the headwinds of the global recession, the severe U.S. housing downturn and reduced consumer discretionary spending, each of Fortune Brands’ businesses performed at or above our expectations in the first quarter,” said Bruce Carbonari, chairman and chief executive officer of Fortune Brands.
“Fortune Brands continued to pursue initiatives to succeed in the marketplace, significantly reduce costs and enhance our free cash flow,” Carbonari continued. “Profits in our spirits business benefited from stable consumer demand, higher pricing and favorable year-over-year U.S. inventory movements, largely offset by soft results internationally, including the ongoing impact of the Australia RTD tax increase and unfavorable foreign exchange. To combat negative operating leverage in our home products business driven by lower demand and unfavorable product mix, we further reduced the manufacturing footprint for home products, including the announced closure in the quarter of three additional plants and the sale of a non-core product line. And in our golf business, new products, international sales growth in constant currency, and lower costs partly offset the impact of reduced consumer discretionary spending, lower corporate custom golf ball orders and adverse foreign exchange.”
For the first quarter of 2009:
- Net income was $7.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $0.69 from continuing operations in the year-ago quarter.
- Comparisons were impacted by a $0.25 per share charge from one-time items principally related to supply-chain and cost reduction initiatives in the home products and golf businesses.
- Excluding one-time items in both the current and prior-year periods, diluted EPS before charges/gains was $0.30 compared to $0.75 in the year-ago quarter.
- Net sales were $1.44 billion, down 20%.
- On a comparable basis, excluding excise taxes, foreign exchange and acquisitions/divestitures, total net sales would have been down 17%.
- Comparable net sales by business unit were: spirits down 3%; golf down 5%; home & hardware down 30%.
- Operating income was $60.5 million.
- Operating income before charges/gains was $120.7 million.
- Return on equity before charges/gains was 9%.
- Return on invested capital before charges/gains was 6%.
Outlook: Reaffirming Earnings Target for 2009
“As the year progresses, comparisons will ease, a number of adverse factors will annualize, and we’ll realize the benefits of our market-share and cost initiatives, so we believe we have the most challenging quarter of the year behind us,” Carbonari said. “Looking ahead, we anticipate consumers will remain cautious when it comes to discretionary spending and that the home products market will continue to be very challenging. We’ll also continue to face the impact of adverse foreign exchange. That said, we remain focused on outperforming our categories in the current environment and positioning Fortune Brands to emerge from the downturn an even stronger company.
“Fortune Brands will benefit from our position in the relatively stable distilled spirits category, our company-wide brand-building initiatives, and our strength up and down the price ladder across our businesses,” Carbonari continued. “Specifically in spirits, we’ll benefit in the marketplace from our new international distribution alliance that began in April and our dedicated sales organization in the U.S. The impact of the Australia tax increase on ready-to-drink spirits products will annualize later this month, as well. In golf, our strong lineup of new products and successful investments in international growth support our leadership in a challenging industry environment. And in home products, we’ll continue to leverage our lower cost base, excellent customer service and strong brands as we seek to gain share in a difficult market.
“Supported by these advantages, combined with our first quarter results, we have this week reaffirmed our full-year earnings target for diluted EPS before charges/gains to be in the range of $2.00-2.50. This full-year target reflects our continued expectation for lower results in our home products and golf segments due to very challenging conditions in those markets, partly offset by underlying growth in spirits,” Carbonari concluded.
As announced earlier this week, the company has also raised its 2009 target for free cash flow to the range of $400 million after dividends and net capital expenditures. The higher target is the result of a series of cash-management initiatives and a reduction in the dividend rate.
