Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE: FO), the company behind leading consumer brands including Jim Beam, Titleist and Moen, today reported results for the second quarter of 2009. In an economic environment that remained very challenging, net sales and operating income before charges/gains both declined at a more moderate pace than in the prior quarter. Net sales for the second quarter were $1.74 billion, down 17%, as the stability of the spirits business tempered double-digit sales declines for the company's home and golf products. Reflecting the benefit of lower cost structures, supply-chain initiatives and seasonality, the home products business returned to profitability as expected. Diluted earnings per share were $0.66, and excluding one-time items, diluted EPS before charges/gains was $0.70. The stronger U.S. dollar reduced both sales and operating income before charges by 4% and decreased earnings by 5 cents per diluted share.

 

"Fortune Brands continued to effectively navigate the challenges of the global recession and severe U.S. housing downturn in the second quarter," said Bruce Carbonari, chairman and chief executive officer of Fortune Brands. "At a time when consumers are being very cautious, we're pleased that each of our businesses performed in line with our expectations for the quarter and that each is delivering industry-leading operating margins. While we continue to aggressively manage costs, we've carefully maintained an appropriate level of strategic investment, which is paying off in innovative new products that are helping us succeed in the marketplace. We're also confident that our supply-chain and balance-sheet initiatives position us well to emerge from the downturn an even stronger company.

 

"Our spirits business benefited in the quarter from our breadth across categories and price points, higher pricing, and the return to volume growth for Jim Beam ready-to-drink products in Australia. Results in spirits also reflected the success of new products such as Red Stag by Jim Beam and Sauza Margarita-in-a-Box, as well as management and timing of brand expense. As anticipated, our home products business returned to profitability in the second quarter and sales declined at a more moderate pace as compared to the seasonally smaller first quarter. Despite lower year-over-year results, our home products business benefited from its dramatically lower cost structure, share gains with key customers, new products, and the favorable impact of the consumer tax credit for energy-efficient products. While we're seeing significantly lower discretionary spending on golf in the U.S. and Europe, including for corporate custom-imprinted golf balls, our golf business is sustaining its leadership in this environment with successful new products - including the new Titleist Pro V1 golf ball, 909 drivers and AP2 irons - plus continued success in Asian markets," Carbonari said.

 

For the second quarter of 2009:

 
 
    -- Net income was $99.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to 

$0.88 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.

Comparisons were adversely impacted by income from discontinued

operations in the prior-year period that more than offset lower

net charges in the current-year period.

 
    -- Excluding one-time items in both the current and prior-year periods, 

diluted EPS before charges/gains was $0.70 compared to $1.25 in the

year-ago quarter.

Results benefited 4 cents per diluted share from a lower effective

tax rate due to a shift in geographic profit mix.

 
    -- Net sales were $1.74 billion, down 17%. 

On a comparable basis - excluding excise taxes, foreign exchange,

acquisitions/divestitures, and the impact of required accounting

related to spirits route-to-market initiatives - total net sales

would have been down 15%.

Comparable net sales by business unit were: spirits flat; golf

down 14%; home & hardware down 23%.

 
    -- Operating income was $192.9 million. 

Operating income before charges/gains was $203.9 million.

 
    -- Return on equity before charges/gains was 8%. 
 
    -- Return on invested capital before charges/gains was 6%. 
 

Targeting Full-Year Results within EPS Range

 

"As we look ahead, while the economic downturn may be moderating, we expect our markets will remain challenging throughout the year," Carbonari said. "In this environment, we'll keep executing the initiatives that are enabling us to succeed in the marketplace and positioning Fortune Brands for strong growth when the economy recovers. These priority initiatives include adjusting to the evolving consumer, developing innovative new products and brand-building programs, reducing cost structures while enhancing our supply-chain flexibility, and aggressively managing our cash. We expect that we will continue to benefit from our ability to deliver value to consumers with our trusted brands, quality products, innovations and excellent positions up and down the price ladder across our businesses.

 

"Our first-half results and our ongoing initiatives enhance our confidence in achieving full-year results within our EPS target range. With six months now behind us - and a clearer picture of our markets - we're in a position to refine our full-year EPS target. Because the high end of our range was dependent on some measure of improvement in our markets - and because conditions in the home and golf products markets remain as challenging as they are - we're now targeting EPS before charges/gains to be in the range of $2.00-2.30 for the full year. This full-year target, which is within our original guidance, continues to reflect our assumption that results in our home products and golf segments will be lower, partly offset by underlying growth in our spirits business, which now represents more than 70% of our operating income before charges," Carbonari concluded. The company's growth rates in the second half will also benefit from comparison to last year's progressively soft results, predominantly in the fourth quarter.

 

The company also reaffirmed its expectation to generate free cash flow for 2009 in the range of $400 million after dividends and net capital expenditures.
