Third Quarter 2013 Results
Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2013 was $27.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, versus net income from continuing operations of $24.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in last year's third quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2013 were $0.741, up 40 percent from the prior year's adjusted result of $0.531. 

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $514.6 million, up 2.8 percent versus the third quarter of 2012. Higher volume, higher average selling prices and positive foreign currency translation positively impacted net revenue growth by 1.4, 0.1 and 1.3 percentage points, respectively. Organic revenue grew by 1.5 percent year-over-year.

"Our third quarter results showed strong progress toward our 2015 strategic goals," said Jim OwensH.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer.  "We got our revenue growth moving in the right direction and managed our margins and discretionary spending to deliver our commitments for operating profit growth.  At the same time we successfully completed major milestones in our European business integration project, keeping us on track to fully deliver the planned financial and strategic benefits from this investment. We have momentum for a strong fourth quarter and to complete another successful, transformational year as part of our current five year plan."  

Adjusted Gross profit margin1 was up approximately 150 basis points compared to the prior year's result reflecting solid operational improvement as a result of the ongoing business integration project and a generally favorable raw material cost environment. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense was down by over 3 percent, or 50 basis points as a percentage of net revenue versus the prior quarter and also down by 1 percent, or 70 basis points as a percentage of net revenue versus the prior year as the Company actively reduced discretionary spending.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
At the end of the third quarter of 2013, the Company had cash totaling $160 million and total debt of $493 million. This compares to second quarter 2013 levels of $161 million and $496 million, respectively. Sequentially, net debt was down by approximately $2 million. Capital expenditures were $35 million in the third quarter and $83 million for the year-to-date, with the bulk of this spending related to the Company's ongoing business integration activities. Operating cash flow in the third quarter was $48 million.

Year-To-Date:
Net income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2013 was $74.0 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, versus net income from continuing operations of $43.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2012. Adjusted total diluted earnings per share in the first nine months of 2013 were $1.901, up 22 percent from the prior year's first nine months adjusted result of $1.561.

Net revenue for the first nine months of 2013 was $1,513.4 million, up 10.2 percent versus the first nine months of 2012. Higher volume, higher average selling prices, positive foreign currency translation and acquisitions positively impacted net revenue growth by 0.5, 0.4, 0.5 and 8.8 percentage points, respectively. Organic revenue grew by 0.9 percent year-over-year.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a negative impact on the gross profit margin line of the income statement as the result of a review of custom duties owed for the years 2000 – 2008 in Argentina. On a pre-tax basis, this item amounted to $1.1 million ($0.02 per diluted share). First, second and third quarters of 2013 and 2012 exclude special charges associated with two previously announced events: the EIMEA business transformation project and the expenses associated with the Forbo acquisition integration project, which have been combined and are now referred to as the "business integration". Special charges, net amounted to $12.8 million, $10.8 million, $5.3 million, $4.7 million, $32.1 million and $6.5 million on a pre-tax basis ($0.17, $0.16, $0.08, $0.05, $0.52 and $0.14 per diluted share) in Q3 2013, Q2 2013, Q1 2013, Q3 2012, Q2 2012 and Q1 2012, respectively. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a one-time negative impact of the fair value step-up on the inventory acquired with the Forbo business on the gross profit margin line of the income statement. On a pre-tax basis, this "step-up" amounted to $3.3 million dollars ($0.05 per diluted share).

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined on a consolidated basis as gross profit, less SG&A expense, plus depreciation expense, plus amortization expense. On a regional basis it is defined as operating income, plus depreciation expense, plus amortization expense. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by net revenue.

 

3

Regional operating income is defined as gross profit less SG&A expense. Items that are reported on the special charges line of the income statement are excluded from the regional operating income calculation. In Q3 2013, Q2 2013, Q1 2013, Q3 2012, Q2 2012 and Q1 2012, special charges, net totaled $12.8 million, $10.8 million, $5.3 million, $4.7 million, $32.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Regional operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as gross profit, less SG&A expense, divided by net revenue.
