H.B. Fuller Company logo.

Items of Note for the Third Quarter of 2014:

  • Volume increased 2 percent compared to the prior year; organic growth outside the EIMEA region up 5 percent;
  • Completed closure of Wels, Austria production site;
  • Revised project management approach to accelerate the completion of the European business integration project and the enhancement of the SAP environment in North America;
  • After the end of the quarter, completed acquisition of ProSpec, a construction products business with strong customer relationships in key US markets.

Third Quarter 2014 Results:

Net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $4.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, versus net income from continuing operations of $27.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in last year's third quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2014 were $0.421, down versus the prior year's adjusted result of $0.741. 

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2014 was $526.8 million, up 2.4 percent versus the third quarter of 2013. Higher volume and foreign currency translation positively impacted net revenue growth by 2.0 and 1.1 percentage points, respectively. Lower average selling prices negatively impacted net revenue growth by 0.7 percentage points. Organic revenue grew by 1.3 percent year-over-year.

Gross profit margin was down versus the prior year's result due to a variety of factors including excess costs associated with the business integration project in Europe and Project ONE in North America and margin pressure in several operating segments related to raw material cost fluctuations. SG&A expense was well controlled, up only 2 percent versus the prior year's third quarter, excluding certain non-recurring costs1.

"The delayed and costly execution of our SAP project in North America and European business integration project led to disappointing and unacceptable results this quarter," said Jim OwensH.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer. "We entered this fiscal year with plans that by the third quarter we would complete a major project in Europe, initiate a major systems upgrade project in North America, improve our organic growth rate and, at the same time, improve our margins and take another significant step forward toward our 2015 strategic goals. Our commitment and confidence in achieving our long term goals is clear and confirmed; however, the achievement of these goals will be delayed. We invested heavily this quarter to minimize disruptions to our customers and preserve our strong relationships and we took decisive actions to accelerate the completion of our major projects and move to normal operating conditions. More work is to be done in the fourth quarter but we expect our intensified focus on completing these projects will lead to improved operating performance in the fourth quarter and pave the way for a strong 2015, putting us back on track to achieve our long term goals of 15 percent EBITDA margin and solid organic growth."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:

At the end of the third quarter of 2014, we had cash totaling $76 million and total debt of $563 million. This compares to second quarter 2014 cash and debt levels of $95 million and $566 million, respectively. Sequentially, net debt was up by $16 million. Cash flow from operations was positive $21 million in the third quarter. Capital expenditures were $34 million in the third quarter, with the bulk of this spending related to our ongoing business integration activities and to support Project ONE.

Year-To-Date Results:

Net income for the first nine months of 2014 was $39.1 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, versus net income from continuing operations of $74.0 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2013. Adjusted total diluted earnings per share in the first nine months of 2014 were $1.691, down from the prior year's result of $1.901.

Net revenue for the first nine months of 2014 was $1,556.8 million, up 2.9 percent versus the first nine months of 2013. Higher volume and foreign currency translation positively impacted net revenue growth by 3.2 and 0.3 percentage points, respectively. Lower average selling prices negatively impacted net revenue growth by 0.6 percentage points. Organic revenue grew by 2.6 percent year-over-year.

Gross profit margin for the first nine months was down relative to last year due primarily to excess costs related to ongoing project work related to the European business integration and Project ONE.  SG&A expense was down 1 percent versus the prior year reflecting tight control of discretionary expenses, excluding certain non-recurring costs1.

Project ONE and Business Integration:

Project ONE is a multi-year project to install SAP application software as our global information technology platform in four phases over several years. The initial "go live" occurred in the North America region of our Americas operating segment in April of this year. The effort required to adopt the new system and return to normal productivity levels has been longer and more costly than we had anticipated. Currently the SAP system in North America is stable and fully supporting our business, though productivity is still below expectations. To address this situation we have taken several significant steps to restructure and refocus our efforts to accelerate the productivity improvement in the North Americaregion. In addition, we have modified our phased implementation schedule, delaying the "go live" in Latin America to mid-2015 and postponing the implementation in Europe to sometime after 2015. These changes should accelerate the productivity improvements in North America and reduce the risk of business interruption in future go-live events.

In Europe the business integration project is nearing completion. We have experienced considerable delays in the final stages of this project and the costs associated with finalizing facility closures and bringing new assets up to full capacity continue to hinder the profitability of the EIMEA segment. To address these issues we have restructured and refocused our project management teams in Europe to accelerate the completion of all project work and rapidly move to continuous improvement mode.  Completion of this project, expected by the first quarter of the 2015 fiscal year, will enable significant margin improvement and enhance our ability to drive organic growth.

Fiscal 2014 Outlook:

We are establishing fourth quarter 2014 adjusted diluted EPS guidance at a range of between $0.60 and $0.70. Our forward projection of our core tax rate remains at 29 percent; however, due to the shift in geographic mix of our profitability, we expect our core tax rate in fourth quarter of this year to be about 32 percent. Lastly, we have revised our full year capital expenditure forecast to $135 million.

Conference Call:

The Company will host an investor conference call to discuss third quarter 2014 results on Thursday, September 25, 2014, at 9:30 a.m.Central U.S. time (10:30 a.m. Eastern U.S. time).
