ST. PAUL, Minn., June 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE:FUL) today reported financial results for the second quarter that ended June 3, 2017.

Items of Note for the Second Quarter of 2017:

  • Net revenue grew 5.5 percent. Constant currency sales2 growth was nearly 10 percent, with organic volume growth of 4 percent;
  • Net income was $25.9 million in the second quarter of 2017; Adjusted net income was $31.8 million, or $0.621 per diluted share;
  • Adjusted EBITDA3 margin up 80 basis points sequentially to 12.5 percent despite higher raw materials costs;
  • Constant currency2 growth for Engineering Adhesives was over 20 percent and adjusted EBITDA3 increased 48 percent versus the second quarter of 2016;
  • Asia Pacific and EIMEA delivered constant currency2 growth of 11 and 8 percent, respectively, for the quarter;
  • Construction Products adjusted EBITDA3 margins returned to double digits, at 10.7 percent, after completing the start up of our Aurora facility.

Second Quarter 2017 Results:
Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $25.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, versus net income of $33.3 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2017 were $0.621 versus the prior year’s adjusted result of $0.671. Higher raw material costs were the primary driver of the year-over-year decline.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $561.7 million, up 5.5 percent versus the second quarter of 2016. Higher volume, and acquisitions positively impacted net revenue growth, which was offset by negative foreign currency translation. Constant currency revenue2 grew by nearly 10 percent year over year. Organic revenue, defined as constant currency revenue less the impact from acquisitions, was up 4 percent.

Gross profit margin was 26.0 percent and adjusted gross profit margin4 was 27.2 percent. During the quarter, margins declined year over year due to increasing raw material costs relative to the timing of price increases. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense was $102.8 million. Adjusted SG&A expense5 was $102.6 million, down by approximately 1 percent versus last year, primarily driven by discretionary expense management and restructuring actions, offset by the impact of acquisitions.

“A spike in raw material costs and the timing of our price increases impacted earnings in the second quarter however price increases have been implemented and the underlying performance of our business is in line with expectations for 2017,” said Jim Owens, H.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer. “We continued to drive solid growth across most of the businesses, led again by nearly 20 percent volume growth in the strategically important Engineering Adhesives business and strong constant currency growth in Americas, EIMEA and Asia Pacific. All businesses showed solid EBITDA performance in the quarter, including Construction Products, which delivered double digit margins ahead of schedule. Price increases announced early in the quarter were successfully implemented late in the second quarter which will deliver the targeted earnings and cash flow performance for the rest of 2017. We expect 2017 to provide another strong positive step forward in delivering our 2020 strategic commitments for growth, profit and cash flow performance.” 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
At the end of the second quarter of 2017, we had cash totaling $94 million and total debt of $786 million. This compares to first quarter 2017 cash and debt levels of $117 million and $805 million, respectively. Sequentially, net debt was essentially flat. Cash flow from operations was positive $16 million in the second quarter and $33 million for the first six months, reflecting continued strength in the cash flow performance of the business, offset by restructuring charges and higher inventory balances. Capital expenditures were $7 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Year-To-Date Results:
Net income for the first half of 2017 was $40.7 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, versus net income of $52.2 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, in the first half of 2016. Adjusted total diluted earnings per share in the first half of 2017 were $1.101, up versus the prior year’s result of $1.091

Net revenue for the first half of 2017 was $1,065.0 million, up 5.8 percent versus the first half of 2016. Higher volume and acquisitions positively impacted net revenue growth offset by negative foreign currency translation and negative mix. Constant currency revenue2 grew by nearly 10 percent year over year. Organic revenue, defined as constant currency revenue less the impact from acquisitions, was up 5 percent.

Fiscal 2017 Guidance:
We are narrowing our adjusted EPS guidance from our previous range of $2.57 to $2.77 to our new guidance range of $2.57 to $2.67 for fiscal year 2017. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2017 is expected to be between approximately $290 million and $300 million versus our previous estimate of $300 million. Constant currency growth, on a comparable 52-week basis, is now expected to be around 9 percent for 2017 versus the 2016 fiscal year to reflect more pricing to offset raw material inflation, which will be offset by approximately 3 percentage points of negative foreign currency translation. Our core tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, is expected to be between 29 and 30 percent. We still expect to invest approximately $60 million in capital items in 2017.

This guidance excludes between $30 and $35 million, pre-tax, of previously announced restructuring charges, as well as acquisition related costs and Project ONE development costs.

We have not included a reconciliation of adjusted EPS to EPS as part of our guidance because all potential adjustments are not known at this time.
Constant currency revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as changes in revenue due to price, volume, mix and acquisitions and excludes revenue changes driven by foreign currency translation. The schedule above reconciles each component of net revenue growth.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes items listed on the adjusted earnings per share reconciliation table above. On a segment basis it is defined as operating income, plus depreciation expense, plus amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. We have not included a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA or net income as part of our guidance because all of the potential adjustments are not known at this time.
