TORONTO, ON and TAMPA, FL -- (Marketwired - October 28, 2015) - Cott Corporation (NYSE: COT) (TSX: BCB) today announced its results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2015.
THIRD QUARTER 2015 HIGHLIGHTS
- Revenue increased 41% to $756 million ($776 million excluding the impact of foreign exchange) compared to $535 million.
- Gross profit increased 234% to $233 million compared to $70 million, which resulted in gross profit as a percentage of revenue of 30.8% compared to 13.0%.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 103% to $95 million ($98 million excluding the impact of foreign exchange) compared to $47 million. Reported EBITDA increased 114% to $86 million compared to $40 million.
- Reported free cash flow increased 28% to $64 million, reflecting $92 million of net cash provided by operating activities less $28 million of capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow increased 29%.
- Cott continued to focus on its strategic priorities designed to build long-term shareowner value with:
- Over $2 million of DS Services synergies were realized during the third quarter for a total of $6 million of synergies realized to date.
- DS Services completed the acquisitions of two home and office delivery ("HOD") water businesses towards the end of the quarter, which together are expected to generate approximately $9 million in annual revenues. Three additional Asset Purchase Agreements have been signed for the acquisition of small HOD businesses with expected combined revenues of over $1 million per year. The acquisitions, which are subject to customary closing conditions, are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015 or first quarter of 2016.
- Volume stabilization within the Cott North America business unit continued as contract manufacturing and sparkling and flavored water grew by approximately 50% and 9%, respectively, offsetting the general market declines in carbonated soft drinks ("CSDs") and private label shelf stable juices ("SSJs"). Gross margins increased 130 basis points from 11.5% to 12.8% as a result of stable volumes.
- Over $2 million of DS Services synergies were realized during the third quarter for a total of $6 million of synergies realized to date.
"I am pleased with the progress made in diversifying our business via our organic growth in contract manufacturing and sparkling and flavored waters alongside the continued growth from DS Services," commented Jerry Fowden, Cott's Chief Executive Officer. "I believe with the platform we now have and the attractive opportunity to undertake value creative acquisitions within the HOD market, we are well positioned to continue our diversification, support higher gross margins and grow both EBITDA and free cash flow," continued Mr. Fowden.
THIRD QUARTER 2015 GLOBAL PERFORMANCE
- Revenue increased 41% to $756 million ($776 million excluding the impact of foreign exchange) compared to $535 million.
- Gross profit increased 234% to $233 million, with gross margin of 30.8% compared to 13.0%. Excluding DS Services, gross margin increased by 110 basis points to 14.1% from 13.0% driven primarily by stable volumes in our Cott North America business unit, offset in part by the impact of foreign exchange and the competitive environment in our U.K./Europe business unit.
- Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $196 million compared to $50 million. The increase in SG&A expenses included $142 million in expenses associated with the addition of the DS Services business.
- Interest expense increased to $27 million compared to $9 million due primarily to the additional debt incurred in connection with the DS Services acquisition.
- Other expense was $1 million compared to $5 million (which included $4 million in costs associated with the redemption of $79 million of our 8.125% senior notes due in 2018 in a cash tender offer).
- Income tax benefit was $6 million compared to expense of $2 million.
- Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share were $10 million and $0.09, respectively, compared to adjusted net income of $8 million and adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.08. Reported net income and net income per diluted share were $5 million and $0.04, respectively, compared to reported net income and net income per diluted share of $1 million and $0.01, respectively.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 103% to $95 million ($98 million excluding the impact of foreign exchange) due primarily to the addition of the DS Services business and stable volumes within our North America business unit, offset in part by the competitive environment in our U.K./Europe business unit.
- Reported free cash flow increased by 28% to $64 million, reflecting $92 million of net cash provided by operating activities less $28 million of capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow increased 29%. Through the first nine months of the fiscal year, adjusted free cash flow increased 127% to $62 million. Reported free cash flow was $81 million through the first nine months of the fiscal year, reflecting $166 million of net cash provided by operating activities less $85 million of capital expenditures.
THIRD QUARTER 2015 REPORTING SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
- Cott North America volume was broadly flat in actual cases and servings driven by increases in contract manufacturing and other growth areas such as sparkling waters and mixers, offset by a general market decline in CSDs and private label SSJs. Revenue was lower by 4% (lower by 2% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) at $339 million due primarily to an overall product mix shift into contract manufacturing and across other private label categories.
- DS Services revenue increased 3.2% to $268 million due primarily to growth in HOD water, single cup coffee delivery, and retail sales, offset in part by a declining energy surcharge as a result of lower diesel fuel prices and reduced sales in traditional brew basket coffee. Revenue on an adjusted basis increased 4%.
- U.K./Europe volume decreased 6% in servings due to poor weather, general market decline, and the competitive environment within the United Kingdom. Revenue decreased 19% (decreased 12% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) to $140 million due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates, lower volumes and adverse mix.
- All Other revenue excluding the impact of foreign exchange was flat at $17 million.
DECLARATION OF DIVIDEND
Our Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.06 per share on common shares, payable in cash on December 10, 2015 to shareowners of record at the close of business on December 1, 2015.

In addition, Cott is now a national direct-to-consumer provider of bottled water, office coffee and water filtration services offering a comprehensive portfolio of beverage products, equipment and supplies to approximately 1.5 million customer locations through its network of over 180 warehouse, branch and distribution facilities and daily operation of over 2,200 routes.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, Cott utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Cott excludes from GAAP revenue the impact of foreign exchange, the impact of energy surcharges, and, in some cases, the impact of DS Services, to separate the impact of currency exchange rate changes, energy surcharges and recent acquisitions from Cott's results of operations. Cott utilizes adjusted gross margin (on a global, and in some cases, business unit basis), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (on a global, and in some cases, business unit, basis) to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business. Because Cott uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Cott's underlying business performance and the performance of its management. Additionally, Cott supplements its reporting of net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding capital expenditures to present free cash flow, and by excluding bond redemption cash costs, DSS integration capital expenditures and acquisition/integration cash costs to present adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, and strengthening the balance sheet. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Cott's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
