Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. Reports Fiscal 2020 First Quarter Results

August 1, 2019 6:01 AM

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Aug. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (NYSE: PBH) today reported financial results for its first quarter fiscal 2020 ended June 30, 2019.

“Our first quarter represents a solid start to the fiscal year and we are reaffirming our fiscal year 2020 outlook. The business performance continues to benefit from solid consumption trends across our portfolio of leading brands, strong gross margins, a solid financial profile and cash generation. These attributes enabled us to invest behind our brands, opportunistically repurchase shares and further reduce debt during Q1” said Ron Lombardi, Chief Executive Officer of Prestige Consumer Healthcare.

First Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2019

Reported revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 8.6% to $232.2 million compared to $254.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Revenues were flat on an organic basis, which excludes the impact related to the divested Household Cleaning segment and foreign currency. The revenue performance for the quarter was driven by strong international segment growth and consumption growth in the Company’s core brand portfolio domestically, offset by retailer inventory reductions.

Reported gross profit margin in the first quarter fiscal 2020 was 57.7%, compared to 55.4% for the prior year comparable period that included the divested Household Cleaning segment. First quarter fiscal 2020 gross profit margin increased sequentially from the fourth quarter fiscal 2019 gross margin of 57.4%.

Reported net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 totaled $33.9 million versus the prior year comparable quarter’s net income of $34.5 million or $35.8 million on a non-GAAP adjusted basis. Diluted earnings per share were $0.65 for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $0.65 diluted earnings per share, and $0.68 on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, in the prior year comparable period. The prior year comparable period results included profit contribution related to the divested Household Cleaning segment.

Adjustments to net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 included legal and various other costs associated with the Household Cleaning divestiture, and the related income tax effects of the adjustments.

Free Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for the first fiscal quarter of 2020 decreased to $52.8 million from $55.9 million during the same period a year earlier. Non-GAAP free cash flow for the first fiscal quarter of 2020 was $50.8 million, compared to $53.4 million in the prior year comparable quarter. The Company’s business experienced continued strong cash conversion but was offset by the loss of cash flow from the divestiture of the Company’s Household Cleaning segment.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company used its cash flow to reduce debt by $20 million. The Company also executed a portion of its previously-authorized $50 million share repurchase program, repurchasing 0.9 million shares at a total investment of $28.8 million. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company completed its share repurchase program during July 2019.

The Company's net debt position as of June 30, 2019 was approximately $1.8 billion, approximately flat versus the prior quarter as first quarter 2020 cash generation went primarily towards share repurchase. At June 30, 2019 the Company's covenant-defined leverage ratio was 5.0x.

Segment Review

North American OTC Healthcare: Segment revenues totaled $210.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to the prior year comparable quarter's revenues of $214.8 million. The first quarter fiscal 2020 revenue performance was attributable to increased consumption among the majority of core OTC brands which was more than offset by retailer inventory reductions and unfavorable foreign currency of $0.5 million.

International OTC Healthcare: Segment fiscal first quarter 2020 revenues totaled $21.4 million, compared to $19.4 million reported in the prior year comparable period. Revenues versus the prior year first quarter benefitted from consumption growth and the timing of distributor orders and shipments, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency of approximately $1 million.

Household Cleaning: As previously announced, the Company sold 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 subsequent quarters.

Commentary and Outlook for Fiscal 2020

Ron Lombardi, CEO, stated, “We are pleased with our start to fiscal 2020, with solid revenue and profit results reinforcing confidence in our financial outlook for the year.”

“Looking forward, we are pleased with the continuing overall top-line trends of our core portfolio, including market share gains for the majority of the Company’s core brands. Regarding operations, following a strategic analysis we have decided to transition to a new third-party logistics provider and location over the balance of fiscal 2020 in order to best meet the needs of our business and customers for the long-term. We are maintaining our profit outlook on an adjusted basis and expect near-term costs associated with the transition to result in long-term savings to our business.”

“Our stable financial profile and profit outlook for fiscal 2020 enables a disciplined capital allocation approach in which we anticipate our primary use of cash being debt reduction. We continue to benefit from a diverse portfolio of leading brands and remain confident in our long-term growth prospects,” Mr. Lombardi concluded.

Adjusted E.P.S.*$2.76 to $2.83

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This 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," "prospects," "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. The "forward-looking statements" include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's expectations regarding future operating results including revenues, organic growth, earnings per share and free cash flow, the Company’s disciplined capital allocation, the Company’s ability to reduce debt and the Company’s ability to position itself for long-term growth. 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, the impact of the transition to a new third party logistics provider, 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. A discussion of other factors that could cause results to vary is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 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:

The following tables set forth the reconciliations of each of our NGFMs to their most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
