Newell Rubbermaid Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results - Zibb.com

--Gross Margin Improved 480 Basis Points to Last Year

--Full Year Normalized EPS and Cash Flow Guidance Raised

Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE: NWL) today announced third quarter 2009 financial results, including normalized earnings per share, ahead of the company's guidance and prior year results. The company reported strong operating cash flow and gross margin improvement and increased its guidance for full year 2009 normalized EPS and operating cash flow.

"I am pleased that we delivered third quarter earnings and cash flow ahead of guidance despite expected revenue declines stemming from sustained challenges in the economy," said Mark Ketchum, president and chief executive officer of Newell Rubbermaid. "We are especially pleased with our gross margin improvement, which reflects continued benefits from our planned product exits as well as a more reasonable input cost environment compared with a year ago. Our successful management of costs and our ability to drive down working capital allows us to continue to make strategic SG&A investments, while raising guidance for full year normalized EPS and operating cash flow."

Net sales declined 17.7 percent to $1.45 billion in the third quarter, compared to $1.76 billion in the prior year, in line with the company's guidance of a decline in the high teens percent range. Core sales were down almost 10 percent, while planned product line exits and foreign currency translation reduced net sales by 6 percent and 2 percent, respectively.

Gross margin for the quarter was 37.4 percent, up 480 basis points from last year, as the positive impact from product line exits, moderating input costs and year-over-year pricing initiatives more than offset the effects of reduced manufacturing volumes.

Excluding Project Acceleration restructuring costs of $27.0 million in 2009 and $13.5 million in 2008, operating income was $192.3 million, or 13.3 percent of sales, in the third quarter 2009, compared to $180.4 million, or 10.2 percent of sales, in the prior year.

Normalized earnings, which exclude Project Acceleration restructuring costs, related impairment charges and associated tax effects, the dilutive impact in 2009 of the company's convertible notes, and other items, were $0.38 per diluted share, ahead of the company's guidance and compared to $0.35 per diluted share in the third quarter 2008. For the third quarter 2009, diluted earnings per share on a normalized basis excludes the impact of $0.02 per diluted share related to the conversion feature of the convertible notes issued in March 2009 and the associated hedge transactions. Other items in the third quarter 2008 include the net of tax impact of the company's purchase of a call option with respect to its $250 million of 6.35% Reset notes due 2028 for approximately $52 million, or approximately $0.13 per diluted share, as well as a tax benefit of $3.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. (A reconciliation of the "as reported" results to "normalized" results is included below.)

Net income, as reported on a GAAP basis, was $85.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. This compares to $55.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2008.

The company generated operating cash flow of $327.7 million during the third quarter, ahead of the company's guidance of $200 to $250 million. The improvement was driven by the increase in earnings and working capital management, particularly inventory. This compares to operating cash flow of $364.3 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures were $37.0 million in the third quarter, compared to $43.9 million last year.

A reconciliation of the third quarter 2009 and last year's results is as follows:

                                                                    Q3 2009    Q3 2008

Other items, net of tax                                             $0.00      $0.12

Nine Months Results

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 declined 17.2 percent to $4.16 billion, compared to $5.02 billion in the prior year. Foreign currency translation reduced net sales by 4 percent, while planned product line exits lowered net sales by 6 percent. Acquisitions increased net sales by 1 percent and core sales softness contributed the remainder of the net sales decline.

Gross margin was 36.7 percent, a 310 basis point improvement versus the prior year. The positive impact from planned product line exits, lower input costs and 2008 pricing actions more than offset the effect of reduced manufacturing volumes and unfavorable mix.

Normalized earnings, which exclude Project Acceleration restructuring costs, related impairment charges and associated tax effects, the dilutive impact in 2009 of the company's convertible notes, and other items, were $1.04 per diluted share, compared to $1.11 per diluted share in the prior year. For the first nine months of 2009, diluted earnings per share on a normalized basis excludes the impact of $0.03 per diluted share related to the conversion feature of the convertible notes issued in March 2009 and the associated hedge transactions. Other items for the first nine months of 2009 include one-time costs of $0.01 per diluted share incurred for the early retirement of $325 million principal amount of medium-term notes and $0.01 per diluted share of other tax adjustments. Other items in the first nine months of 2008 were the same as those for the third quarter 2008. (A reconciliation of the "as reported" results to "normalized" results is included below.)

Net income, as reported on a GAAP basis, was $224.9 million, or $0.78 per diluted share. This compares to $204.4 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, in the prior year.

The company generated operating cash flow of $415.7 million during the first nine months of 2009, compared to $243.0 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures were $107.7 million, compared to $122.1 million in the prior year.

A reconciliation of the first nine months 2009 and last year's results is as follows:

                                                                    YTD Q3 2009    YTD Q3 2008

"Normalized" EPS                                                    $1.04          $1.11

2009 Full Year Guidance

The company continues to expect net sales for the full year will be at the unfavorable end of its guidance of a 10 to 15 percent decline. Core sales are expected to decline in the high single digit percent range. Product line exits are expected to contribute 4 to 6 percent of the sales decline and foreign currency translation is expected to reduce sales by 2 percent. Acquisitions are expected to contribute about 1 percent of sales growth.

The company is raising its guidance for normalized EPS to a range of $1.27 to $1.32 per diluted share and for operating cash flow to approximately $550 million, which is net of approximately $100 million in restructuring cash payments.

2009 Fourth Quarter Guidance

The company anticipates net sales will decline 2 to 4 percent for the fourth quarter 2009. Core sales are expected to be flat to slightly negative for the fourth quarter and product line exits are projected to reduce sales another 3 to 5 percent. Foreign currency translation is expected to increase sales by approximately 2 percent. The company expects normalized earnings of $0.23 to $0.28 per diluted share and operating cash flow of approximately $135 million.

A reconciliation of the fourth quarter and full year 2009 earnings outlook is as follows:

                                                                    Q4 2009           FY 2009
Diluted earnings per share                                          $0.16 to $0.21    $0.93 to $0.98
Project Acceleration restructuring costs and related impairment
charges, net of tax
                                                                    $0.06 to $0.09    $0.28 to $0.31
Convertible notes dilution                                          -                 $0.03
Other items, net of tax                                             -                 $0.02
"Normalized" EPS                                                    $0.23 to $0.28    $1.27 to $1.32

The impacts of the other items for the full year 2009 earnings outlook include only charges incurred during the first nine months of 2009. The impact of the convertible notes dilution of $0.03 represents the dilution through the first nine months of 2009 only. No provision is made for potential dilution from the conversion feature of the convertible notes and the associated hedge transactions in the fourth quarter of 2009.
