ATLANTA, January 29, 2016 - Newell Rubbermaid Inc. (NYSE: NWL) announced its fourth quarter 2015 financial results today. “We have delivered another set of strong results for the fourth quarter. Core sales grew 6.2 percent, driven by strengthened innovation, increased brand support and excellent commercial execution,” said Michael Polk, President and Chief Executive Officer. “All five segments grew core sales, led by Writing growth of 12.5 percent, Baby growth of 10.2 percent, and Commercial Products growth of 5.8 percent. This strong performance, along with continued progress on margins, resulted in normalized earnings per share growth of over 14 percent. Our operating model is working and we enter 2016 with a clear line of sight to another year of strong core sales and earnings growth. “In December, we announced a definitive agreement to combine with Jarden Corporation, creating a $16 billion consumer goods company of leading brands that compete in large, growing and unconsolidated global markets. The combination will substantially scale our presence in key geographies, customers and channels, and is expected to deliver at least $500 million in cost synergies. The transaction is expected to be accretive to normalized earnings per share in year one, with strong double-digit accretion by year three. We are in the process of seeking the necessary regulatory approvals and securing permanent financing, and expect to complete the transaction in the second quarter.” | ||||

Fourth Quarter 2015 Operating Results
Net sales in the fourth quarter were $1.56 billion compared with $1.53 billion in the prior year. Core sales grew 6.2 percent. Net sales growth includes a 150 basis point net contribution from acquisitions and planned/completed divestitures, and a negative 540 basis point impact from foreign currency.
Normalized gross margin expanded by 80 basis points to 38.5 percent, as benefits from productivity, pricing and favorable input costs more than offset the negative impacts of foreign currency.
Reported gross margin was 38.3 percent, a 70 basis point improvement versus prior year.
Normalized operating margin was 13.7 percent, a 30 basis point improvement compared with the prior year, despite a 70 basis point increase in advertising and promotion. Normalized operating income was $214.2 million compared with $204.6 million in the prior year period.
Fourth quarter reported operating margin was 6.5 percent and operating income was $101.9 million, compared with 7.4 percent and $113.5 million, respectively, in the prior year. Reported operating margin was negatively impacted by higher restructuring and other Project Renewal costs and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Elmer’s Products (“Elmer’s”) and the agreement to combine with Jarden.
The normalized tax rate was 23.2 percent compared with 26.5 percent in the prior year. On a reported basis, a tax benefit of $13.1 million was recorded in the quarter compared with tax expense of $10.4 million in the prior year.
Normalized net income was $151.1 million compared with $135.3 million in the prior year. Normalized diluted earnings per share were $0.56, an increase of 14.3 percent versus $0.49 in the prior year, with the improvement primarily attributable to the increase in core sales, gross margin expansion, the positive impact of fewer outstanding shares and a lower normalized tax rate, which more than offset negative foreign currency impacts and higher advertising and promotion spend.
Reported net income was $13.2 million compared with $52.0 million in the prior year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $0.05 compared with $0.19 in the prior year. In addition to the factors cited above in the explanation of normalized diluted earnings per share, reported diluted earnings per share benefited from a net gain from the sale of the Endicia on-line postage business and the absence of last year’s loss on extinguishment of debt, and were negatively impacted by the Venezuela deconsolidation charge and higher restructuring and other Project Renewal transformation costs.
Operating cash flow was $277.7 million compared with $290.8 million in the prior year period.
A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included in the appendix.
Fourth Quarter 2015 Operating Segment Results
Writing net sales were $466.3 million, an 11.5 percent increase compared with the prior year. Core sales increased 12.5 percent driven by strong innovation, broadened distribution, positive pricing and increased marketing support. Normalized operating income was $105.7 million versus $103.2 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 22.7 percent, compared with 24.7 percent in the prior year, as increased gross margin and reduced overheads were more than offset by increased advertising and promotion spend and negative foreign currency impacts.
Home Solutions net sales were $441.8 million, a 3.7 percent decline compared with prior year. Core sales increased 0.1 percent driven by double-digit Food & Beverage growth largely offset by the planned contraction of the lower margin Rubbermaid Consumer Storage business and a timing shift on Calphalon caused by the transition to new product offerings. Normalized operating income was $57.2 million versus $60.7 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 12.9 percent, compared with 13.2 percent in the prior year, as pricing, input cost deflation and productivity were offset by higher advertising and promotion spend in support of new product launches.
Tools net sales were $207.7 million, an 8.6 percent decline compared with the prior year. Core sales increased 1.4 percent, driven by innovation in North America and strong commercial execution in Europe, largely offset by core sales declines in Brazil. Normalized operating income was $19.5 million compared with $21.5 million in the prior year.

Normalized operating margin was 9.4 percent of sales, compared with 9.5 percent of sales in the prior year, as pricing and productivity were offset by the impact of negative foreign currency.
Commercial Products net sales were $207.1 million, a 2.8 percent decline compared with the prior year. Core sales increased 5.8 percent, driven by innovation and pricing in North America and Latin America. Normalized operating income was $27.5 million compared with $24.2 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 13.3 percent, compared with 11.4 percent in the prior year, as pricing, productivity and input cost deflation more than offset the impact of negative foreign currency.
Baby & Parenting net sales were $237.9 million, a 13.9 percent increase compared with the prior year. Core sales grew 10.2 percent driven by strong innovation and marketing in the U.S. Normalized operating income was $27.8 million, compared with $17.3 million in the prior year. Normalized operating margin was 11.7 percent, compared with 8.3 percent in the prior year, as a result of favorable product mix and lower advertising and promotion investment.
Full Year Results
Net sales for the full year ended December 31, 2015 were $5.92 billion, an increase of 3.3 percent compared with $5.73 billion in the prior year. Core sales increased 5.5 percent, or 3.9 percent excluding the contribution from operations in Venezuela. Net sales growth includes a positive 360 basis point net impact from acquisitions and planned/completed divestitures, and a negative 580 basis point impact from foreign currency.
Normalized gross margin was 39.2 percent, an increase of 40 basis points versus the prior year.
Reported gross margin was 39.0 percent, a 50 basis point improvement versus prior year.
Normalized operating margin increased 50 basis points to 14.3 percent compared with 13.8 percent in the prior year. Normalized operating income was $848.6 million compared with $792.6 million in the prior year.
Reported operating margin was 10.2 percent compared with 10.6 percent in the prior year. Full year 2015 reported operating income was $601.4 million compared with $604.7 million in the prior year.
Normalized net income was $590.7 million compared to $557.8 million in the prior year. Normalized diluted earnings per share were $2.18 compared with $2.00 in the prior year, an increase of 9.0 percent despite a negative foreign currency impact of approximately 39 cents.
Reported net income was $350.0 million compared with $377.8 million in the prior year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $1.29 compared with $1.35 in the prior year.
Operating cash flow was $565.8 million compared with $634.1 million in the prior year, reflecting increased cash used for restructuring and other Project Renewal initiatives and a voluntary $70.0 million pension contribution in 2015.
A reconciliation of the “as reported” results to “normalized” results is included in the appendix.
Venezuela Update
At the end of 2015, the company deconsolidated the assets and liabilities of its Venezuelan business from the company's balance sheet and moved to the cost method of accounting for its operations in Venezuela. This change reflects the continued deterioration of conditions in the country, including availability of foreign exchange, and resulted in an after tax charge of $165.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. This charge includes the $74.7 million of net assets of the company’s Venezuela subsidiary along with $58.3 million of Venezuela related assets held by other subsidiaries, resulting in $133.0 million of total charges associated with the deconsolidation of Venezuela’s net assets. In addition, in accordance with applicable accounting standards for foreign currency and the transition to the cost method for Venezuela operations, the company was required to write-off the currency translation adjustment that arose prior to the application of hyperinflationary accounting in 2010 that was included in other comprehensive income in equity. The write-off of the currency translation adjustment resulted in a pre-tax charge of $39.7 million, which had no effect on net assets or total equity. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the company will no longer include the results of its Venezuelan business in its consolidated financial statements. The company has operated in Venezuela for decades and plans to continue to manufacture and sell products in Venezuela.

2016 Full Year Outlook
Newell Rubbermaid reaffirmed its 2016 core sales growth and normalized EPS guidance metrics excluding Venezuelan operations:
2016 Outlook | ||
Core sales growth | 4.0% to 5.0% | |
Currency | (1.0%) to (2.0%) | |
Acquisitions net of divestitures | (0.5%) to 0.5% | |
Net sales growth | 2.5% to 3.5% | |
Normalized EPS | $2.21 to $2.30 | |
The company now expects foreign currency to have a negative impact of about $0.26 to $0.28 per diluted share on 2016 normalized EPS driven by the stronger U.S. dollar to most currencies. In this context, the 2016 normalized EPS guidance represents strong double-digit earnings growth on a currency neutral basis.
The 2016 normalized EPS guidance range excludes between $140 and $160 million of Project Renewal restructuring and other Project Renewal transformation costs. The 2016 normalized EPS guidance range also excludes acquisition and integration costs, which the company is unable to estimate at this time. A reconciliation of “expected reported” results to “normalized” results is included in the appendix.
Cumulative costs of Project Renewal are expected to be $690 to $725 million pretax, with cash costs of $645 to $675 million. Annualized savings from Project Renewal through the end of 2015 are $360 million. Project Renewal is expected to generate annualized cost savings of approximately $620 to $675 million by the end of 2017. The majority of these savings will be reinvested in new capabilities and incremental brand building investment for accelerated growth in the company’s home markets and the geographic deployment of its Win Bigger portfolio into the faster growing emerging markets.
The company’s 2016 guidance includes the impact of the Elmer’s operations and assumes disposal of the Décor business in the second quarter, but excludes any impact from the Jarden transaction. The 2016 normalized EPS guidance also does not include the company’s Venezuela operations, which contributed $0.15 of normalized EPS in 2015. Guidance will be updated for the Jarden transaction closer to the expected closing of the transaction.
Conference Call
The company’s fourth quarter 2015 earnings conference call will be held today, January 29, 2016, at 8:30 a.m. ET. A link to the webcast is provided under Events & Presentations in the Investor Relations section of Newell Rubbermaid’s Web site at www.newellrubbermaid.com. A webcast replay and a supporting slide presentation will be made available in the Investor Relations section on the company’s Web site under Quarterly Earnings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to stockholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the company’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance and (b) determine certain elements of management’s incentive compensation.

The company’s management believes that core sales provides a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales on a consistent basis as it excludes the impacts of acquisitions, planned and completed divestitures and changes in foreign currency from year-over-year comparisons. As reflected in the Currency Analysis, the effect of foreign currency on reported sales is determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the 12-month average in the prior year, to the current and prior year local currency sales amounts (excluding acquisitions and planned and completed divestitures), with the difference in these two amounts being the increase or decrease in core sales, and the difference between the change in as reported sales and the change in core sales reported as the currency impact. The company’s management believes that “normalized” gross margin, “normalized” SG&A expense, “normalized” operating income, “normalized” earnings per share and “normalized” tax rates, which exclude restructuring and other expenses and one-time and other events such as costs related to product recalls, the extinguishment of debt, certain tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, pension settlement charges, discontinued operations, costs related to the acquisition and integration of acquired businesses, advisory costs for process transformation and optimization initiatives, certain foreign currency impacts, charges associated with the deconsolidation of operations and dedicated personnel and other costs related to transformation initiatives under Project Renewal , are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the company’s core ongoing operations. The company also uses core sales, normalized gross margin and normalized earnings per share as the three performance criteria in its management cash bonus plan, and the company uses core sales and normalized earnings per share as two of the three performance criteria in its performance-based equity compensation arrangements.
The company determines the tax effect of the items excluded from normalized diluted earnings per share by applying the estimated effective rate for the applicable jurisdiction in which the pre-tax items were incurred, and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit, if any, is expected. In certain situations in which an item excluded from normalized results impacts income tax expense, the company uses a “with” and “without” approach to determine normalized income tax expense.
While the company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company’s performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.
