Stanley Black & Decker Reports 3Q 2018 Results; Announces $250 Million Cost Reduction Program To Offset 2019 External Headwinds

New Britain, Connecticut, October 25, 2018 … Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) today announced third quarter 2018 financial results.

3Q’18 Revenues Totaled $3.5 Billion, Up 4% Versus Prior Year, With Organic Growth Of 4%
3Q’18 Diluted GAAP EPS Was $1.65; Excluding Charges, 3Q’18 Diluted EPS Was $2.08, Up 6%, As Price, Cost Control And Volume Leverage More Than Offset $135 Million Of Commodity Inflation, Currency And Tariffs
Announcing New Cost Reduction Program Expected To Deliver $250 Million In Annual Cost Savings For 2019
Revising 2018 Full Year Diluted GAAP EPS Guidance Range To $5.90 - $6.00 from $7.00 - $7.20 And Adjusted EPS Guidance Range Of $8.10 - $8.20 from $8.30 - $8.50

3Q’18 Key Points:

Net sales for the quarter were $3.5 billion, up 4% versus prior year, as positive volume (+3%), acquisitions (+2%) and price (+1%) were partially offset by currency (-2%).
        
Gross margin rate for the quarter was 35.4%. Excluding charges, the gross margin rate was 35.5%, down 210 basis points from prior year as volume leverage, productivity and price were more than offset by external headwinds, including commodity inflation, foreign exchange and tariffs.

SG&A expenses were 22.9% of sales. Excluding charges, SG&A expenses were 21.0% of sales compared to 22.7% in 3Q’17, primarily reflecting prudent cost management.

Other, net totaled $59.4 million for the quarter. Excluding charges, Other, net totaled $51.0 million compared to $55.1 million in 3Q’17.

Restructuring charges for the quarter were $21.8 million. Excluding certain one-time charges, restructuring was $11.7 million for the quarter compared to $11.4 million in 3Q’17.

1

Exhibit 99.1

    
Tax rate was 18.6%. Excluding charges, tax rate was 19.5% versus 23.0% in 3Q’17 reflecting the benefits from the recently enacted U.S. tax legislation and the effective settlement of a tax audit during the quarter.

Average diluted shares outstanding for the quarter were 150.6 million versus 152.6 million a year ago, reflecting $500 million of share repurchases executed during the second and third quarters of 2018.

Working capital turns for the quarter were 5.7, down 0.8 turns from prior year resulting from higher inventory balances in Tools & Storage.

Stanley Black & Decker’s President and CEO, James M. Loree, commented, “The Company delivered 4% organic growth, 14.5% operating margin and 6% adjusted EPS growth in the quarter while coping with $135 million of pre-tax external headwinds (3.9% of sales) from input cost inflation, currency and tariffs. During the quarter, the 2018 impact of these external pressures increased by $50 million, causing us to trim our 2018 EPS outlook by $0.25 at the mid-point, still up 9% year-over-year. We are taking cost actions totaling $250 million as well as additional pricing actions to preserve our ability to produce 2019 earnings growth. The cost actions will be substantially complete by year-end 2018 and the majority of the pricing actions will be implemented in early first quarter 2019.

“We have an outstanding array of revenue growth catalysts in place for 2019 and beyond to support continued strong financial performance and we will not allow the financial benefit from them to be eroded by external factors outside of our control. The catalysts include (1) the accelerating Craftsman program rollout which we now expect to deliver $1 billion in incremental revenue significantly faster than prior expectations, (2) a new exclusive brand partnership with a major home center (announced in a separate release), (3) our growing e-commerce share gains, (4) a robust emerging market growth program, (5) growing revenue synergies from the Lenox/Irwin acquisition and (6) continued revenue benefits from FlexVolt and new innovations. In addition, the recently announced IES transaction should provide an additional $300 - $400 million source of 2019 inorganic growth.

“Our seasoned, capable management team has stepped up with agility and speed to address these external issues which could have otherwise potentially cast a cloud over this outstanding growth story.”

Tools & Storage net sales increased 3% versus 3Q’17 due to volume (+5%), and price (+1%) partially offset by currency (-3%). The impact of pricing expanded 50 basis points sequentially reflecting the incremental benefit from our 3Q pricing actions. Each region contributed to the strong organic growth for the quarter with emerging markets +10%, North America +6% and Europe +3%. Emerging markets growth was due to continued benefits from executing our mid-price-point product and e-commerce strategies as well as the impact from pricing actions. North America organic growth was driven by continued benefits from new product innovation, the rollout of the Craftsman brand and price realization, partially offset by the unfavorable volume impact of brand transitions at a major home center. Europe growth was supported by new products and successful commercial actions overcoming market pressure and customer transitions in the UK. Overall Tools & Storage segment profit rate was 16.6%, excluding charges, down from the 3Q’17 rate of 17.3%, as the benefits from volume leverage, pricing and cost control were more than offset by the impacts from currency, commodity inflation and tariffs.

Industrial net sales increased 10% versus 3Q’17 due to acquisitions (+11%) partially offset by currency (-1%). Engineered Fastening organic revenues were up 1% as industrial & automotive fastener penetration gains were partially offset by the expected impact from lower automotive system volumes. Infrastructure organic revenues were down 6% due to anticipated lower pipeline project activity in Oil & Gas partially offset by growth within Hydraulic Tools. Overall Industrial segment profit rate was 16.8%, excluding charges, down from the 3Q’17 rate of 18.0%, as productivity gains and cost control were more than offset by commodity inflation and the modestly dilutive impact from the acquisition of Nelson Fasteners.

Exhibit 99.1


Security net sales increased 1% versus 3Q’17 as bolt-on commercial electronic security acquisitions (+3%) and price (+1%) were partially offset by currency (-2%) and lower volume (-1%). North America organic growth declined 1% as higher volumes within automatic doors were offset by lower installations in commercial electronic security. Europe was flat organically as strength within the Nordics was offset by weakness in France and the UK. Overall Security segment profit rate, excluding charges, improved 110 basis points sequentially to 11.1%, which was down 20 basis points versus the prior year rate, reflecting investments to support the business transformation in commercial electronic security partially offset by a focus on cost containment.

2018 Outlook & Cost Reduction Program

Management is revising its 2018 EPS outlook to $5.90 - $6.00 from $7.00 - $7.20 on a GAAP basis due to restructuring charges associated with the cost reduction program announced today, in addition to the factors below. The Company is reducing its adjusted EPS range to $8.10 - $8.20 from $8.30 - $8.50 and its free cash flow conversion estimate to approximately 90%.

The following reflects the key assumption changes to the Company's prior adjusted EPS outlook:

Higher input costs, including tariffs, FX & commodities (- ~$0.25)
Lower expected organic growth (- ~$0.15)
Lower anticipated tax rate and other below the line items (+ ~$0.15)

Donald Allan Jr., Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, “Our 2018 guidance now contemplates $370 million of commodity, currency and tariff headwinds and delivers strong organic growth of 6% and adjusted earnings per share growth of 9%. We are pleased with our expected 2018 performance given the magnitude of the headwinds.

“As we shift to 2019, we are now preparing for the carry over effect of the 2018 headwinds. We will continue to pass on these input cost increases to our customers as price increases. Additionally, we are taking actions to adjust our supply chain and cost structure. We anticipate the cost reduction program to deliver $250 million in annual cost savings in 2019. The pre-tax restructuring charge is expected to be approximately $125 million and is anticipated to be booked during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Exhibit 99.1

“We continue to take the appropriate actions to protect our margins and our competitiveness in the face of these external headwinds and position the business for EPS expansion once again in 2019. The organization remains focused on strong day-to-day execution and operational excellence and we believe the Company is well-positioned to deliver sustained above-market organic growth with operating leverage, strong free cash flow conversion and top-quartile shareholder returns over the long-term.”


Merger And Acquisition (“M&A”) Related And Other Charges

Total M&A related and other charges in 3Q’18 were $85.4 million, primarily related to restructuring, deal and integration costs, as well as a non-cash fair value adjustment and inventory step-up charge. Gross margin included $3.3 million of these charges while SG&A included $63.6 million. Other, net and Restructuring included $8.4 million and $10.1 million of these charges, respectively.

Organic sales growth is defined as total sales growth less the sales of companies acquired and divested in the past twelve months and any foreign currency impacts. Operating margin is defined as sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Management uses operating margin and its percentage of net sales as key measures to assess the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the related measures at the segment level. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company’s common stock and business acquisitions, among other items. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by net income. The normalized statement of operations and business segment information, as reconciled to GAAP on pages 12 to 15 for 2018 and 2017, are considered relevant to aid analysis of the Company’s margin and earnings results aside from the material impact of the acquisition-related charges, non-cash fair value adjustment, gains or losses on sales of businesses, one-time environmental settlement charge, and a one-time tax charge related to the recently enacted U.S. tax legislation.

Working capital is comprised of accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and deferred revenue.
2 
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important measure of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company’s common stock and business acquisitions, among other items.
3 
Free cash flow as reported in the third quarter of 2017 was an inflow of $265.9 million and $189.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. As a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" and ASU 2016-18, "Restricted Cash," free cash flow has decreased by $241.3 million and $514.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
