For the Quarter, EPS of $0.20 vs. $0.17; Net Income Up 16%; $23 million of Debt Pay Down
IRVINGTON, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. today announced results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2010, which ended on September 30, 2009.
Net revenues from continuing operations for the second fiscal quarter were $84.2 million, 2% below the prior year's comparable quarter net revenues from continuing operations of $85.5 million. The reported results reflect the recent divestitures of Denorex(R), Prell(R) and Zincon(R) shampoo brands from the Company's Personal Care segment, which the Company announced on October 28, 2009. The revenues and results from these three brands are classified as discontinued operations. The results of the second quarter reflect revenue increases for the Over-the-Counter Healthcare segment and the Personal Care segment, offset by revenue declines in the Household Cleaning Products segment.
Operating income from continuing operations for the second fiscal quarter was $21.2 million, $1.3 million greater than year ago operating income from continuing operations of $19.9 million. The increase in operating income from continuing operations was a result of a 28% decrease in advertising and promotional (A&P) expenditures compared to the last fiscal year, primarily due to decreased spending on Allergen Block products compared to introductory spending levels last year. Partially offsetting the decrease in A&P expenditures was a 12% increase in G&A expenses which was due to $2.5 million of expenses related to a reduction in force and the organizational changes. The Company currently anticipates annualized savings of approximately $2 million as a result of the reduction in force.
Income from continuing operations for the second fiscal quarter was $9.7 million, or 19% higher than the prior year comparable period's results.
Total net income for the second quarter, including that related to the discontinued operations, was $9.9 million, $1.4 million or 16% greater than the prior year comparable period results of $8.5 million.
Earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.20 compared to $0.17 in the prior fiscal year.
Commentary
"Overall we are pleased with the results of the second quarter and remain cautiously optimistic for the balance of the year," said Matthew Mannelly, President and CEO. "Based on our brands' strength in the categories in which we compete, combined with the passion and experience of our team, we believe we are well positioned for future growth as the economy strengthens," he said.
First Half of Fiscal 2010
Net revenues from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal 2010 were $155.2 million, a decrease of 0.9% from the prior year's comparable period's results of $156.5 million. Income from continuing operations was $17.7 million, an increase of 14%, compared to $15.5 million in the comparable period. Total net income of $18.2 million, or $0.36 per share, including that related to the discontinued operations, was 12% higher than the comparable period's results of $16.3 million, or $0.33 per share.
Free Cash Flow and Debt Repayment
Free cash flow is a "non-GAAP" financial measure as that term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Regulation G. Free cash flow is presented in this news release because management believes it is a commonly used measure of liquidity, and indicative of cash available for debt repayment and acquisitions. The Company defines "free cash flow" as operating cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures.
The Company's free cash flow for the second quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $21.7 million, an increase of 2% over the prior year's comparable quarter. Free cash flow is composed of operating cash flow from continuing operation of $21.8 million less capital expenditures of $100,000. This compares to the prior year comparable quarter's free cash flow of $21.2 million, composed of operating cash flow from continuing operations of $21.2 million less capital expenditures of $48,000. The increase was primarily due to the increase in net income from continuing operations.
The Company's continued strong cash flow resulted in debt repayments of $23.0 million on its term loan during the second quarter. Total debt was reduced to $338.3 million at September 30, 2009. Following the divestitures of the three shampoo brands on October 28, 2009, the Company paid down an additional $8 million on its term loan with the proceeds of the sale.
Second Quarter Results by Segment
Net revenues for the OTC Healthcare segment were $51.4 million, 2% higher than the prior year comparable period. Increased sales of Chloraseptic(R), Clear Eyes(R), Compound W(R), Little Remedies(R), New Skin(R) and The Doctor's(R) brands, led to the increase in revenues for this segment. Partially offsetting these increases were revenue declines for the Allergen Block products and the Wartner(R) brand.
Net revenues for the Household Cleaning products segment were $29.0 million, 10% lower than the prior year comparable period. Comet(R), Spic and Span(R) and Chore Boy(R) brands all experienced sales declines during the quarter.
Net revenues from continuing operations for the Personal Care segment were $3.8 million, 24% greater than the prior year comparable period. The revenue increase was primarily due to sales increases on the Cutex(R) line of nail polish removers.
