Griffon Corporation Announces First Quarter Results
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, January 30, 2020 – Griffon Corporation (“Griffon” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GFF) today reported results for the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2019.
Consolidated revenue of $548.4 million increased 7% compared to the prior year quarter revenue of $510.5 million.
Net income totaled $10.6 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to $8.8 million, or $0.21 per share, in the prior year quarter. Current year results included restructuring charges of $6.4 million ($4.1 million, net of tax, or $0.09 per share) and discrete and certain other tax provisions, net, that affect comparability of approximately $0.8 million or $0.02 per share. Prior year quarter results included discrete and certain other tax provisions, net, that affect comparability of $0.5 million or $0.01 per share. Excluding these items, current year Adjusted income was $15.6 million, or $0.36 per share compared to $9.2 million, or $0.22 per share, in the prior year quarter, a 64% increase.
Adjusted EBITDA was $55.2 million, increasing 22% from the prior year quarter of $45.4 million. Unallocated amounts (primarily corporate overhead) in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 were $11.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA excluding unallocated amounts totaled $67.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, increasing 18% from the prior year of $56.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, loss on debt extinguishment and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable (“Adjusted EBITDA”, a non-GAAP measure).
Ronald J. Kramer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented "We had a strong start in our first quarter of 2020. Our team is executing on our strategic plan to drive enhanced cash generation and margin expansion. We are confident that our optimization initiatives are positioning Griffon for future growth through the balance of fiscal 2020 and beyond."
Segment Operating Results
Consumer and Professional Products ("CPP")
CPP revenue in the current quarter totaling $241.1 million increased 11% from the prior year quarter, driven by increased revenue from volume of 7% and pricing and mix of 5%, partially offset by a 1% unfavorable impact due to foreign exchange.
CPP Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was $21.9 million, increasing 7% from the prior year quarter primarily due to the increased revenue, partially offset by increased tariffs. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 9.1% in the current quarter compared to 9.5% in the prior year quarter.
On November 29, 2019, AMES acquired Vatre Group Limited ("Apta"), a leading United Kingdom supplier of innovative garden pottery and associated products sold to leading UK and Ireland garden centers for $10.5 million. This acquisition broadens AMES' product offerings in the market and increases its in-country
1
operational footprint. Apta is expected to contribute approximately $15 million in annualized revenue and to be accretive to Griffon’s earnings in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020.
Strategic Initiative
In November 2019, Griffon announced the development of a new next-generation business platform for CPP to enhance the growth, efficiency, and competitiveness of its U.S. operations.
This initiative includes three key development areas. First, multiple independent information systems will be unified into a single data and analytics platform which will serve the whole CPP U.S. enterprise. Second, certain CPP U.S. operations will be consolidated to optimize facilities footprint and talent. Third, strategic investments in automation and facilities expansion will be made to increase the efficiency of our manufacturing and fulfillment operations, and support e-commerce growth.
The roll-out of the new business platform will occur over approximately a three-year period, with completion expected by the end of calendar 2022. When fully implemented, these actions will result in an annual cash savings of $15 million to $20 million, and a $20 million to $25 million reduction in inventory, both based on operating levels at the beginning of the initiative.
The cost to implement this new business platform, over the three-year duration of the project, will include approximately $35 million of one-time charges and approximately $40 million in capital investments. The one-time charges are comprised of $16 million of cash charges, which includes $12 million personnel-related costs such as training, severance, and duplicate personnel costs as well as $4 million of facility and lease exit costs. The remaining $19 million of charges are non-cash and are primarily related to asset write-downs.
In addition to the growth, efficiency and competitive benefits, this initiative is intended to increase our operating margin and free cash flow.
In connection with this initiative, during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, CPP incurred pre-tax restructuring and other related exit costs approximating $6.4 million, comprised of cash charges of $2.2 million and non-cash, asset-related charges of $4.2 million; the cash charges included $2.1 million for one-time termination benefits and other personnel-related costs and $0.1 million for facility exit costs.
Home and Building Products ("HBP")
HBP revenue in the current quarter totaling $241.4 million increased 8% from the prior year quarter, due to increased volume of 5% with an additional 3% due to favorable mix and pricing.
HBP Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was $40.7 million, increasing 30% from the prior year quarter.
The favorable variance resulted primarily from the increased revenue noted above including volume related benefits on absorption and improved operational efficiencies. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.9% in the current quarter compared to 14.0% in the prior year quarter.
Defense Electronics ("DE")
DE revenue in the current quarter totaled $66.0 million, decreasing 7% from the prior year quarter, due to decreased Multi-Mode airborne maritime surveillance systems, partially offset by increased volume of ground and airborne maritime surveillance radars.
DE Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was $4.5 million, decreasing 6% from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the reduced sales volume, partially offset by the timing of research and development
2
and bid and proposal efforts and timing of awards. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.8% in both first quarters of 2020 and 2019.
Contract backlog was $370 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $389 million at September 30, 2019, with 74% expected to be fulfilled in the next 12 months. During the year, DE was awarded several new contracts and received incremental funding on existing contracts approximating $47 million, which translates into a book to bill ratio of 0.7; the trailing twelve month book-to-bill ratio was 1.0.
Taxes
In the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company reported pretax income for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and recognized a tax provision of 37.4% compared to 37.3%, respectively. Excluding all items that affect comparability, the effective tax rates for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were 33.3% and 34.0%, respectively.
Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures
At December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and equivalents of $64.8 million and total debt outstanding of $1.15 billion, resulting in a net debt position of $1.08 billion. $228.8 million was available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility subject to certain loan covenants. Capital expenditures were $13.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.
Share Repurchases
In each of August 2016 and August 2018, Griffon’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of Griffon’s outstanding common stock. Under these programs, the Company may purchase shares in the open market, including pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, or in privately negotiated transactions. During the current quarter, there were no stock repurchases. At December 31, 2019, $58.0 million remained under existing Board authorizations.
