ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE:ABD):
- Net sales increase to $464.9 million
- Net income increases to $0.08 per share from $(0.18) per share
- Adjusted net income increases to $0.21 per share from $0.06 per share
- Adjusted operating margins improve 300 basis points
- Reiterates expectations for 2007
ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE:ABD), a world leader in select categories of branded office products, today reported its second quarter and six month results for the period ending June 30, 2007.
“ACCO Brands grew both its top and bottom lines in the second quarter,” said David D. Campbell, chairman and chief executive officer. “This performance reflects the continued progress we are making in positioning ACCO Brands for consistent long-term growth and profitability. Despite a challenging environment, we drove sales growth across all of our segments, excluding exited businesses. We are particularly pleased with the gains in our Computer Products segment which is benefiting from new product penetration and solid share gains in international markets, a key focus of our growth plan.
“Our adjusted operating income grew nearly 80% compared to last year. Even while we have continued to invest in the business to drive sales and improve our distribution infrastructure, the expected integration synergies are taking hold on schedule,” Campbell continued. “These synergies, combined with the favorable impact of price increases and shifts in our product mix, drove improvement in adjusted gross margin for the fourth consecutive quarter. By all accounts, the second quarter was a very strong period for the business.
“It is also important to note that June 2007 marked the half-way point of the 36-month merger integration program we began executing at the beginning of 2006,” Campbell said. “I am very pleased with our progress and confident that we are meeting the specific stated goals according to the originally anticipated schedule. We have laid a solid foundation for continued improvements over the next 18 months and believe the end result will be a very strong global business, consistent growth, and enhanced shareholder value over the long-term.”
Second Quarter Results
Second quarter net sales increased to $464.9 million, from $462.6 million, reflecting broad-based strength across key areas, despite the exit from certain non-strategic businesses and categories. The company reported second quarter net income of $4.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(9.8) million, or $(0.18) per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. The current-quarter results include restructuring and non-recurring after-tax costs totaling $7.2 million ($11.1 million pre-tax), or $0.13 per diluted share compared with $13.1 million ($17.8 million pre-tax), or $0.24 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Excluding these charges, adjusted net income was $11.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, and $3.3 million or $0.06 per share in the prior-year quarter.
Results of Business Segments
Effective January 1, 2007, the company realigned and reclassified certain business segments. All prior-year business segment information presented in this news release has been restated to reflect the new segment structure. (Refer to the company’s report on Form 8-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2007 for additional information and restated 2006 and 2005 quarterly segment results under the new segment structure.)
Office Products Group
Office Products reported net sales decreased 2% to $228.3 million, from $231.9 million. Adjusting for the exit of non-strategic business and currency, Office Products sales increased 2%, driven by pricing as volumes declined 2%. The decline in volume was due to weakness in the U.S.
Office Products reported operating income was $12.6 million, compared to a reported operating loss of $6.4 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $18.9 million, compared to $6.7 million, and adjusted operating income margin increased to 8.3% from 2.9%. An increase in product outsourcing to lower-cost locations, price increases, and a favorable product mix from the exit of low-margin products drove the margin improvement. Favorable results were partly offset by continuing infrastructure investments in marketing, product development, and distribution realignment.
Document Finishing Group
Document Finishing net sales increased 3% to $139.0 million, compared to $135.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusting for currency as well as the exit of non-strategic business, net sales were flat. Volumes declined 1.5%, as lower sales through the indirect channel offset strong sales in the direct channel.
Document Finishing reported operating income increased to $5.5 million, compared to $4.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating income was $8.5 million, compared to $6.5 million, and adjusted operating income margin increased to 6.1% from 4.8%. The operating income improvement resulted from lower product costs due to outsourcing, as well as price increases.
Computer Products Group
Computer Products reported net sales increased 4% to $53.3 million, compared to $51.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusting for currency and the exit of non-strategic business, Computer Products sales increased 3%. Sales growth was driven by new product placement and channel expansion in international markets, partially offset by sales declines in the U.S.
Computer Products reported operating income was $9.9 million, compared to $6.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating income was $11.1 million, compared to $7.8 million, and adjusted operating income margin increased to 20.8% from 15.2%. Improvement was across all geographies due to favorable product mix, volume leverage, and expense management.
Commercial Laminating Solutions Group
Commercial Laminating Solutions net sales increased to $44.3 million, compared to $43.9 million in the prior-year quarter. On a constant currency basis, sales decreased 2%.
Commercial Laminating Solutions reported break-even operating results and adjusted operating income was $0.3 million, compared to $4.0 million in the prior-year quarter. A significant increase in lower-cost import competition continued to impact both pricing and selling volumes, which negatively impacted operating income, along with higher raw material costs.
Six Months Results
For the year-to-date period, reported and adjusted net sales declined 2%, with business exits accounting for 4%. Favorable currency translation and price increases offset volume declines. Gross margin and operating income margin both showed strong improvement, driven by synergies, price increases and the exit of low-margin products. Reported net income increased 147%, to $4.7 million, or $0.09 per share, and adjusted net income increased 92% to $18.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share.
Business Outlook
Despite a challenging environment, ACCO Brands remains optimistic about the balance of 2007. Sales growth for 2007 will be impacted by the approximately $75 million planned exit from non-strategic businesses. However, due to price increases, as well as progress thus far in executing integration plans and the resulting significant merger synergies that will be achieved in 2007, the company remains confident that its plans for 2007 are on track. Importantly, the current outlook could be adversely impacted by increased volatility in customer ordering patterns in the second half of the year, but the company presently believes it is well-positioned to achieve its original targets.
As a result, the company is reaffirming its expectation for adjusted supplemental annual EBITDA in the range of $230 million to $240 million.
With respect to the mid- to long-term, ACCO Brands believes it remains well-positioned to meet its stated goal for a run-rate adjusted operating income margin of approximately 11% by the end of 2008. Further, the company continues to believe the current business and economic environment, cost savings from business integration, and ongoing de-leveraging should enable the company to achieve long-term revenue growth in the low- to mid-single digits, operating income growth in the mid- to high-single-digits, and diluted earnings per-share growth in the low-double-digits.
Webcast
At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time today, ACCO Brands Corporation will host a conference call to discuss the company’s second quarter results. The call will be broadcast live via webcast. The webcast can be accessed through the Investor Relations section of www.accobrands.com. The webcast will be in listen-only mode and will be available for replay for one month following the event.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
“Adjusted” results exclude all restructuring and restructuring-related items, as well as unusual tax items. Adjusted results for 2007 also exclude the impact of a one-time adjustment to net sales related to a correction in accounting for certain prior-period customer program costs. Adjusted supplemental EBITDA excludes restructuring and restructuring-related items, one-time sales adjustment and other non-operating items, including minority interest expense, other income and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted results and supplemental EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. There could be limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the use of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management uses the adjusted measures to determine the returns generated by its operating segments and to evaluate and identify cost-reduction initiatives. Management believes these measures provide investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the company from year to year. These measures may be inconsistent with measures presented by other companies.
