Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. Reports Fiscal 2019 Second Quarter Results

November 1, 2018 6:01 AM

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE: PBH), formerly Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., today reported financial results for its second quarter and six months ended September 30, 2018.

“We are pleased with second quarter results, driven by continued solid consumption trends across our diversified and leading consumer healthcare portfolio. We reduced our debt by $100 million during the quarter, continuing our prudent capital allocation strategy. Based on our results for the first six months of fiscal 2019 and expectations for the remainder of the year, we are well positioned to achieve our full-year fiscal 2019 guidance,” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

Second Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2018Reported revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased 7.2% to $239.4 million, compared to $258.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Revenues increased 1.6% on an organic basis, which excludes the impact related to the divested Household Cleaning segment. Organic revenues for the quarter were driven by continued strong consumption levels across the Company’s core brands, but were partially offset by the previously announced change in accounting policies around revenue recognition and the timing of related expenses as well as the transition of new packaging for the Company’s BC and Goody’s brands.

Reported gross profit margin in the second quarter fiscal 2019 was 57.4%, compared to 55.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 or 56.3% excluding adjustments related to the Fleet acquisition and integration in the prior year. Sequentially, gross margin improved from 55.4% reported in first quarter fiscal 2019. The quarter benefited from increasingly stabilized freight and warehouse costs and the divestiture of the Household Cleaning segment. These improvements were partially offset by the expected BC and Goody’s packaging restage and the change in revenue recognition and the timing of related expenses.

Reported net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 totaled $30.8 million versus the prior year comparable quarter’s net income of $30.7 million. Diluted earnings per share were $0.59 for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $0.57 in the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was $34.2 million, an increase over the prior year period’s adjusted net income of $32.5 million. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share were $0.65 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $0.61 per share in the prior year comparable period.

Adjustments to net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 include integration, transition, purchase accounting, legal and various other costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures, and the related income tax effects of the adjustments. Adjustments to net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 also include accelerated amortization of debt origination costs.

First Half of Fiscal 2019 Ended September 30, 2018Reported revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2019 decreased 4.1% to $493.3 million compared to $514.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2018. Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2019 were driven by continued strong consumption levels across the Company’s legacy brands, offset by the divestiture of the non-core Household Cleaning segment in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Organic revenue increased 0.4% for the first six months as consumption gains were partially offset by changes in accounting policies around revenue recognition and the timing of related expenses, as well as timing the transition of new packaging for the Company’s BC and Goody’s brands.

Reported gross profit margin in the first six months of fiscal 2019 was 56.4%, compared to 55.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2018 or 56.6% excluding adjustments related to the Fleet transition and integration in the prior year. The gross profit margin was in-line with the same period in the previous year as the positive impact of the divestiture of the non-core Household Cleaning segment was partially offset by the change in accounting policies around revenue recognition and the timing of related expenses as well as higher freight and warehousing costs.

Advertising and promotion expense for the first six months of fiscal 2019 was $74.2 million, or 15.0% of sales, compared to $76.1 million, or 14.8% of sales, in the prior year. As expected, higher advertising and promotion expense as a percentage of sales was attributable to ongoing investments behind the Company’s long-term brand building strategy.

Reported net income for the first six months of fiscal 2019 totaled $65.3 million versus the prior year comparable period net income of $64.5 million. Diluted earnings per share were $1.24 for the first six months of fiscal 2019 compared to $1.20 per share in the prior year comparable period. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first six months of fiscal 2019 was $70.0 million, an increase over the prior year period’s adjusted net income of $68.0 million. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share were $1.33 per share for the first six months of fiscal 2019 compared to $1.27 per share in the first six months of fiscal 2018.

Adjustments to net income in the first six months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 include integration, transition, purchase accounting, legal and various other costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures, and the related income tax effects of the adjustments. Adjustments to net income in the first six months of fiscal 2019 also include accelerated amortization of debt origination costs.

Free Cash Flow and Balance SheetThe Company's net cash provided by operating activities for the second fiscal quarter of 2019 was $39.3 million compared to $54.4 million during the same period a year earlier. Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow for the second fiscal quarter of 2019 was $44.1 million, compared to $54.8 million in the prior year comparable quarter. Changes in cash flow were driven by the divestiture of the Household Cleaning segment as well as an increase in inventory related to the launch of new packaging for the Company’s BC and Goody’s brands.

The Company's net debt position as of September 30, 2018 was approximately $1.9 billion. At September 30, 2018 the Company's covenant-defined leverage ratio was approximately 5.2x. The Company reduced debt by $100 million versus the first quarter fiscal 2019 through a combination of cash generation and approximately $50 million from Household Cleaning segment divestiture proceeds.

Segment ReviewNorth American OTC Healthcare: Segment revenues totaled $216.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to the prior year comparable quarter's revenues of $215.3 million. The second quarter fiscal 2019 result was favorably impacted by increased consumption among the majority of core OTC brands, but offset by the impacts of a change in accounting policies surrounding revenue recognition and the launch of new BC and Goody’s packaging.

For the first six months of the current fiscal year, reported revenues for the North American OTC segment were $430.7 million compared to $431.1 million in the prior year comparable period. The first six months of 2019 were favorably impacted by increased consumption among the majority of core OTC brands, but offset by the impacts of a change in accounting policies surrounding revenue recognition and the launch of new BC and Goody’s packaging.

International OTC Healthcare: Segment fiscal second quarter 2019 revenues totaled $23.4 million, an increase of 11.7% versus $21.0 million reported in the prior year comparable period. Higher revenues versus the prior year were driven by consumption growth and the normalization of differences in distributor orders and shipments experienced in first quarter.

For the first six months of the current fiscal year, reported revenues for the International OTC Healthcare segment were $42.8 million, an increase of 2.3% over the prior year comparable period’s revenues of $41.9 million.

Household Cleaning: As previously announced, the Company closed the sale of its Household Cleaning segment on July 2, 2018 and used net proceeds from the divestiture to pay down debt. For the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Household Cleaning segment generated $19.8 million in revenues with no reported revenue in the second quarter of 2019.

Commentary and Outlook for Fiscal 2019Ron Lombardi, CEO, stated, “Our solid overall second quarter and first half of fiscal 2019 performance are the result of our successful long-term brand-building and portfolio evolution efforts. In our second quarter, we delivered approximately 2% organic growth trends despite the temporary timing factors related to the change in revenue recognition and the BC & Goody’s restaged packaging. In addition, freight and warehouse costs continue to improve to more normalized levels. Meanwhile we used $100 million in the quarter from cash flow and the sale of Household Cleaning towards debt reduction. This debt reduction demonstrates our ongoing commitment to disciplined capital allocation.”

“We are reaffirming our fiscal 2019 outlook for revenue, profitability and cash flow. Our consumer healthcare platform includes a strong and diverse portfolio of brands well positioned for continued long-term growth. We remain focused on the execution of our three-pillar strategy of brand-building, maintaining a strong financial profile, and efficient capital allocation and look forward to continuing to use this approach to drive shareholder value over time,” he concluded.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. "Forward-looking statements" generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "assumptions," "target," "guidance," “strategy,” "outlook," "plans," "projection," "may," "will," "would," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe”, "potential," or "continue" (or the negative or other derivatives of each of these terms) or similar terminology.

These statements are based on management's estimates and assumptions with respect to future events and financial performance and are believed to be reasonable, though are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those expected as a result of a variety of factors, including the impact of the Company’s advertising and promotional and new product development initiatives, customer inventory management initiatives, general economic and business conditions, fluctuating foreign exchange rates, consumer trends, competitive pressures, and the ability of the Company’s third party manufacturers and logistics providers and suppliers to meet demand for its products and to reduce costs.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we disclose certain Non-GAAP financial measures ("NGFMs"), including, but not limited to, Non-GAAP Organic Revenues, Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Growth Percentage, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin Percentage, Non-GAAP Adjusted Advertising and Promotion Expense, Non-GAAP Adjusted Advertising and Promotion Expense Percentage, Non-GAAP Adjusted General and Administrative Expense, Non-GAAP Adjusted General and Administrative Expense Percentage, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income, Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS, Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Net Debt. We use these NGFMs internally, along with GAAP information, in evaluating our operating performance and in making financial and operational decisions. We believe that the presentation of these NGFMs provides investors with greater transparency, and provides a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures, because the supplemental data relating to our financial condition and results of operations provides additional ways to view our operation when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliations below. In addition, we believe that the presentation of each of these NGFMs is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of results in assessing shareholder value, and we use these NGFMs internally to evaluate the performance of our personnel and also to evaluate our operating performance and compare our performance to that of our competitors.

These NGFMs are not in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered as a measure of profitability or liquidity, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled NGFMs reported by other companies. These NGFMs have limitations and they should not be considered in isolation from or as an alternative to their most closely related GAAP measures reconciled below. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. We recommend investors review the GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. When viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the reconciliations below, we believe these NGFMs provide greater transparency and a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.

NGFMs Defined

We define our NGFMs presented herein as follows:
