Beam Reports 2012 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

DEERFIELD, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

Beam Inc. (BEAM), a leading global premium spirits company, today
reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012.

For the full year 2012, reported net sales increased 7% to a record $2.5
billion. Sales for the year were up 6% on a comparable basis,
significantly outperforming the company’s global market. Growth of the
company’s premium global Power Brands and broad-based growth across
geographies fueled the full-year comparable sales performance. New
product innovations, higher pricing in select categories, and trading up
by consumers contributed to favorable price/mix and margin enhancement.
On a reported basis (GAAP), full-year diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations were $2.48 versus $0.85 in 2011. Full-year diluted
EPS before charges/gains was $2.40, up 13%, exceeding the company’s 2012
target for low-double-digit growth and ahead of the company’s long-term
target of high-single-digit growth. Reported earnings comparisons
largely reflect the impact of costs in 2011 associated with the
separation of Fortune Brands’ businesses.

For the fourth quarter, reported net sales increased 11% and net sales
were up 5% on a comparable basis. Comparable sales growth reflected
strong results in the core markets of the United States, Australia and
Germany. Diluted EPS before charges/gains for the quarter was $0.67,
down 3%, reflecting the company’s previously projected 20% increase in
brand-building investment. Diluted EPS from continuing operations for
the quarter was up 36% on a reported basis.

Bourbon, Premium Innovations and Pricing
Benefit Q4 Results

“We closed the year with another strong sales quarter as we continued to
outperform our market,” said Matt Shattock, president and chief
executive officer of Beam. “We exceeded our expectations with
better-than-anticipated global sales of Bourbon and higher-than-expected
accretion from the Pinnacle acquisition. We also benefited from premium
innovations across categories that improved product mix, as well as
higher pricing in select categories. As we called out three months ago,
Q4 EPS before charges/gains was modestly lower due to our substantial
increase in brand investment in the quarter to support long-term growth.”

Excellent Results in First Full Year as Beam

“Beam continued to deliver excellent results in its first full year as a
focused pure-play spirits company,” Shattock continued. “We created
value through the long-term growth algorithm we outlined a year ago:
growing sales faster than our market, operating income faster than
sales, and EPS faster still. In 2012, we exceeded our expectations at
both the top and bottom lines as we increased comparable sales at
roughly twice the rate of our global market, and grew EPS before
charges/gains ahead of our target for the year. Full-year sales growth
was balanced across our three regional segments, fueled by double-digit
global growth for our Power Brands and Rising Stars, and we improved
margins with premium innovations and higher pricing.

“We are particularly pleased that we outperformed in 2012 even as we
increased investment in the competitive position and long-term growth of
our business. These investments included a double-digit increase in
brand-building investment, as well as higher capital expenditures to
produce more aged spirits to meet future demand. In 2012, we further
strengthened our core equities with impactful brand communication on
television and in digital media; we accelerated our growth with
innovative new products while also opening our new Global Innovation
Center; we continued to strengthen our premium portfolio by adding a
Power Brand in vodka and entering Irish Whiskey; and we enhanced our
routes to market across fast-growing economies like China as well as in
developed markets such as Japan.

“Beam generated higher-than-expected free cash flow of $337 million, and
we ended the year with a net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.8 times, better
than we had targeted. We’re also pleased that our 2012 acquisitions were
five cents per share accretive to our full year results,” Shattock said.
“We believe our investments and stronger balance sheet enhance Beam’s
prospects to deliver sustainable, profitable long-term growth.”

Financial Highlights for the Full Year 2012:

  • Income from continuing operations was $398.2 million, or $2.48 per
    diluted share, versus $0.85 per diluted share in 2011.
  • Excluding charges and gains, diluted EPS from continuing operations
    was $2.40, up 13% from $2.12 in 2011.
  • Reported net sales were a record $2.5 billion (excluding excise
    taxes), up 7%.
  • On a comparable basis, which adjusts for foreign exchange and
    acquisitions/divestitures, net sales were up 6%.

    • Comparable net sales by segment: North America +7%; Europe/Middle
      East/Africa (EMEA) +5%; Asia Pacific/South America (APSA) +5%.
  • Operating income was $575.9 million, up 46%.
  • Operating income before charges/gains was $631.9 million, up 10%.
  • The company generated free cash flow of $336.8 million and an
    earnings-to-free-cash conversion rate of 87%.
  • Return on invested capital before charges/gains (rolling 12 months)
    was 7% and was 23% excluding intangibles.
  • The company’s net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio was 2.8 times at year end.

Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter:

  • Income from continuing operations was $126.8 million, or $0.79 per
    diluted share, versus $0.58 in the year-ago quarter.
  • Excluding charges and gains, diluted EPS from continuing operations
    was $0.67, down 3% from $0.69.
  • Reported net sales were $709.1 million (excluding excise taxes), up
    11%.
  • On a comparable basis, which adjusts for foreign exchange and
    acquisitions/divestitures, net sales were up 5%.

    • Comparable net sales by segment: North America +8%; Europe/Middle
      East/Africa (EMEA) +4%; Asia Pacific/South America (APSA) -2%.
    • Results in North America benefited from the timing of sales in
      Mexico, while lower results in India adversely impacted sales in
      APSA.
  • Operating income was $156.7 million, up 15%.
  • Operating income before charges/gains was $177.3 million, up 3%.

Establishing 2013 Earnings Growth Target

The company announced that it is targeting to deliver high-single-digit
growth in diluted earnings per share before charges/gains for 2013
against its 2012 base of $2.40 per share.

“We enter 2013 with an assumption that our global spirits market will
grow value approximately 3%, consistent with what we saw in 2012,”
Shattock said. “We’ll face headwinds including higher raw materials
costs and challenging comparisons in India as we reposition our business
there, and we’re not currently assuming material new pricing in 2013. At
the same time, we anticipate benefiting from several favorable dynamics:
the strength of the bourbon category, our innovations and brand-building
initiatives, strong growth in emerging markets, our efficiency and
effectiveness agenda, and an additional five cents per share of
accretion from our 2012 acquisitions. Incorporating these factors, we’re
targeting for 2013 to outperform our market at the top line and deliver
growth in diluted EPS before charges/gains at a high-single-digit rate.
With regard to phasing, we will face our most challenging comparison of
the year in the first quarter as we cycle against new-product launches
and route-to-market changes that helped drive comparable sales up 13% in
Q1 of 2012.

“We believe that Beam is well positioned to deliver sustainable,
profitable long-term growth as we continue to invest in fast-growing
categories, fast-growing new products, and fast-growing markets. We feel
good about our prospects for continued outperformance in 2013.”

The company expects to generate free cash flow for 2013 in the range of
$300-350 million, which incorporates continued investment to increase
distillation capacity and produce more aged spirits to support long-term
growth.

“While we have sustained investments in long-term value creation, we’ve
also continued our track record of delivering immediate value to
shareholders with the 10% increase in our dividend we announced
recently,” Shattock concluded.

Beam Inc.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

 

Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this
release provide investors with important perspectives into the
Company’s ongoing business performance by excluding certain items,
referred to as “charges / gains,” that management believes are not
indicative of the Company’s underlying results for purposes of
analyzing the Company’s performance on a year-over-year basis. The
Company’s definition of charges / gains includes asset impairment
charges, restructuring charges, other charges related to
restructuring initiatives that cannot be reported as restructuring
under GAAP, acquisition and integration related costs, dividend
distribution gains from the wind down of our former Maxxium
investment, costs associated with the sale of the Company’s golf
business and spin-off of the Company’s home and security business
(together, the “Separation”), the one-time sales and margin impact
of transitioning to our long-term distribution agreement in
Australia, tax indemnification payments received from the seller
of an acquired business and unusual tax matters that management
does not consider indicative of ongoing operations. Charges/gains
excluded from GAAP results also include other items which
management believes are not indicative of the Company’s underlying
operating performance for purposes of evaluating past and future
performance; such items are excluded from GAAP results to improve
comparability between periods. In addition, the 2011 period
includes adjustments to reflect Beam as a standalone company at
January 1, 2011, including adjustments to interest expense
(reflecting the debt reduction related to the Separation at
January 1, 2011), an estimated standalone company effective tax
rate and an estimated standalone company corporate cost structure,
as described in more detail in the Company’s fourth quarter 2011
earnings release.

 

Additional non-GAAP measures included in this release are
identified as “comparable,” “adjusted” and “constant currency.”
The Company does not intend for this information to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures.
Other companies may define the measures differently.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most closely
comparable GAAP measures, together with a further explanation as
to why management believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful
information, are included on the following pages.

(a)

 

(b)

The 2012 adjustments relate to the acquisition and integration of
the Pinnacle and Calico Jack assets (“Pinnacle”) and Cooley
business, consisting primarily of expenses incurred in connection
with integrating these businesses into the Company’s existing
operational structure (e.g., distributor termination fees,
accelerated depreciation, employee retention, and other
organizational streamlining expenses).

 

(c)

 

(d)

The income tax adjustments in the 2012 period primarily related to a
$22 million foreign tax credit related to the repatriation of
foreign earnings and a $9 million net benefit related to the
resolution of U.S. and foreign tax audit examinations for certain
years. The adjustment in the 2011 period is to eliminate income tax
related matters (related to resolution of routine foreign and US
income tax audit examinations) and to adjust income tax expense to
Beam’s estimated effective tax rate as a standalone Spirits business.

 

(e)

 

(f)

Adjustment to the Company’s interest expense to assume that the
Separation-related debt extinguishments had occurred on January 1,
2011.

 

(g)

 

(h)

Adjustment to eliminate a gain related to a dividend distribution
received in connection with the wind down of our former Maxxium
investment.

(a)

 

(b)

The 2012 adjustments relate to the acquisition and integration of
Pinnacle and Cooley as well as 2012 tax on earnings distributed
within certain of Beam’s foreign tax jurisdictions incurred in
connection with funding a portion of the capital requirement for the
Cooley acquisition. The 2012 acquisition related adjustments
impacting SGA expense consist of: transaction-related expenses of
$5 million, contract termination expenses of $10 million and
integration related expenses of $2 million. In addition, acquisition
related adjustments include amounts charged to costs of goods sold
and restructuring charges that primarily relate to accelerated
depreciation and employee retention. The 2011 adjustment relates to
acquisition related contingent consideration accrued in September
2011.

 

(c)

The adjustment in 2012 primarily relates to a $15.1 million pension
settlement charge associated with a required $29 million lump sum
distribution paid to former Fortune Brands executives in July 2012,
partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities for estimated
costs to complete the Separation. The adjustment in the 2011 period
is to eliminate nonrecurring business separation costs incurred to
implement the Separation, principally transaction and professional
advisory fees, severance and other employee related costs and
certain other costs incurred in connection with the Separation.

 

(d)

 

(e)

Adjustment to eliminate a gain related to a dividend distribution
received in connection with the wind down of our former Maxxium
investment.

 

(f)

Nontaxable reimbursement received from seller of an acquired
business for resolution of certain tax matters for years prior to
our ownership.

 

(g)

 

(h)

 

(i)

Adjustments to reflect estimated expenses as a standalone Spirits
business, including: (1) $36.0 million operating expense adjustment
to reflect a lower corporate cost structure, and (2) $2.5 million
interest expense adjustment to assume the Separation-related debt
reduction had been completed as of January 1, 2011. The Company
estimated its lower corporate cost structure based on analysis and
projections of costs expected to be incurred by the Company had the
Separation occurred at January 1, 2011.

growth of the segments as fluctuations in exchange rates can impact
the underlying growth rate of the segments.

(a) Free cash flow is defined as GAAP cash flow from operations less
capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment additions
(net of disposition proceeds), adjusted for operating cash flow
related to discontinued operations. Management believes free cash
flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash
available for dividends, debt repayment, and acquisitions after
making the capital investments required to support ongoing business
operations and long term value creation. Management uses free cash
flow to assess business performance and overall liquidity.

 

(b) Free cash flow for the 2011 periods is not intended to be a
measure of Beam Inc. “adjusted pro forma free cash flow” that would
reflect the free cash flow generated by Beam as if it were a
standalone company for the periods presented.

 

(c) Represents cash used primarily for settlement of liabilities of
divested businesses and payment of incentive compensation, severance
and pension benefits to former Fortune Brands executives.

 

(d) Represents operating cash flows of the Home Security and Golf
businesses prior to their divestiture.

(a) ROIC is income from continuing operations plus after-tax
interest expense divided by the average of invested capital (debt
less cash plus stockholders’ equity plus after-tax interest
expense). Adjusted ROIC is adjusted for the amounts used to
calculate adjusted income from continuing operations. Invested
capital is a multi-point average of the 12 months ended December 31,

Comparable net sales growth rate represents the percentage increase
or decrease in reported net sales in accordance with GAAP, adjusted
for certain items. The Company believes Comparable Net Sales Growth
is useful in evaluating the Company’s sales growth on a
year-over-year basis exclusive of items that are not indicative of
the brands’ performance such as foreign exchange impacts,
acquisitions/divestitures, the one-time impact on net sales of
transitioning to the new Australia distribution agreement as well as
the related impact on margin structure. See the page entitled “Use
of Non-GAAP Financial Information” for additional information
related to the use of Non-GAAP measures.

 

(a) Excludes Hornitos

 

(b) Net sales represents consolidated net sales (excluding excise
taxes), including non-branded sales to third parties.

Impact of using adjusted EBITDA rather than GAAP operating cash flow

Net debt / EBITDA before charges/gains

2.8

 

(a) Net debt equals total debt less cash as of December 31, 2012.
GAAP operating cash flow and EBITDA before charges /gains are based
on the year ended December 31, 2012. GAAP operating cash flow
includes discontinued operations. See the Reconciliation of Income
from Continuing Operations to EBITDA (above) for the Company’s
definition of EBITDA before charges/gains.

 

 

For the full year 2013, the Company is targeting high-single-digit
growth in diluted EPS from continuing operations before
charges/gains as compared to its full year 2012 diluted EPS from
continuing operations before charges/gains ($2.40). Given the nature
of special charges/gains, the Company cannot predict such items and,
therefore, the Company’s 2013 targeted diluted EPS from continuing
operations used to determine the year-over-year growth rate in
diluted EPS excludes any such items.

 

Comparing targeted 2013 diluted EPS from continuing operations
before charges/gains to the Company’s 2012 GAAP diluted EPS from
continuing operations ($2.48) results in mid-single-digit growth
in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. The
lower growth rate, as compared to year-over-year growth on a
before charges/gains basis, is attributable to the 2012
charges/gains described above.

 

For the full year 2013, the Company is targeting free cash flow in
the range of $300 million to $350 million. Free cash flow is defined
as GAAP cash flow from operations less capital expenditures for
property, plant and equipment additions (net of disposition
proceeds), adjusted for operating cash flow related to discontinued
operations.

 

Management believes that the measure of free cash flow provides
investors with helpful supplemental information about the
Company’s ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions,
repay debt, pay dividends, and repurchase common stock. This
measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by
other companies.
