Press Release

Highlights from continuing operations reflect solid execution:

• Q2 2019 sales increased 5 percent year-over-year to $1.5 billion; 6 percent excluding FX
• Q2 2019 EPS $0.97; EPS before charges/gains increased 3 percent to $1.03
• Global Plumbing Group continues to outperform end markets; significant expansion of wholesale distribution in Fiberon composite decking
• Company moderates full-year 2019 EPS outlook on softer overall housing market: EPS before charges/gains outlook now $3.53 – $3.67 on sales growth of 5.5 – 6.5 percent

DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2019-- Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced second quarter 2019 results.

“In the second quarter our teams continued to execute at a high level in a soft market. The Global Plumbing Group continued to deliver above market growth and margin. Our cabinets pivot plan continued to reshape the business, with solid growth and margins in our focus segments. In our newly acquired composite decking business, we demonstrated the power of our Therma-Tru channel strength by adding a number of distribution partnerships, including the addition of OrePac Building Products, a large wholesale customer which greatly expands our presence in the entire western United States—a critical market for outdoor living products,” said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands. “I am proud of the progress we have made, particularly in a market that now looks as if it will grow only in the 2 to 2.5 percent range in 2019. We remain focused on our long-term value drivers, and we continue to execute on the plans for profitable growth in a modestly growing housing market that we highlighted at our February Investor Day.”

Second Quarter 2019

For the second quarter of 2019, sales were $1.5 billion, an increase of 5 percent over the second quarter of 2018. Earnings per share were $0.97, compared to $0.88 in the prior-year quarter. EPS before charges/gains were $1.03, compared to $1.00 the same quarter last year. Operating income was $202.4 million, compared to $188.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income before charges/gains was $212.0 million, compared to $209.2 million the same quarter last year.

“Housing activity in the second quarter came in below our modest expectation—which was a headwind to our businesses along with wet weather conditions, particularly in May,” said Klein. “In response, we’ve continued to manage costs tightly across our businesses, while investing where we continue to see demand surge—particularly in value cabinetry products, and composite decking,” continued Klein.

For each segment in the second quarter of 2019, compared to the prior-year quarter:

• Plumbing sales increased 5 percent, and increased 6 percent excluding FX. Operating margin before charges/gains was 22.6 percent.
• Cabinet sales were flat versus the prior year, and increased 1 percent in the U.S. Low double-digit growth in value products was offset by softness in premium, semi-custom and Canada. Operating margin before charges/gains was 10.6 percent.
• Doors & Security sales increased 19 percent, driven by the recent Fiberon acquisition. Segment operating margin before charges/gains was 13.7 percent.

Annual Outlook for 2019

The Company’s 2019 annual outlook is based on a U.S. home products market growth assumption of 2 to 2.5 percent (from 2 to 4 percent prior) and an assumption of 2 to 2.5 percent growth for our total global market (from 2 to 4 percent prior). The Company now expects full-year 2019 sales growth in the range of 5.5 to 6.5 percent (from 6 to 7.5 percent prior), reflecting the soft second quarter market and slower second half ramp up of building product demand in the U.S., and the weaker Canadian housing market.

The Company also adjusted its full-year 2019 EPS outlook before charges/gains, with a new range of $3.53 to $3.67 versus the prior range of $3.53 to $3.77.

The Company expects to generate free cash flow of approximately $480 to $500 million for the full year 2019, which includes accelerated investments in capacity and inventory to support new composite decking customers.

“Although the softer housing market overall prompts a change to our full-year outlook, we continue to win and take share in those areas where we are targeting growth: in-stock and other value cabinetry products, across plumbing broadly, and in Fiberon, where we continue to convert and attract new customers,” said Klein. “At a high level, consumers continue to be in a strong position, interest rates are low and housing demand remains solid. I am pleased with the progress we have made to position ourselves for growth in the second half of this year and into 2020, as the market begins to reaccelerate,” said Klein.

Free cash flow does not include adjustments for certain non-discretionary cash flows such as mandatory debt repayments. Free cash flow is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that free cash flow provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and related interest, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

DILUTED EPS BEFORE CHARGES/GAINS RECONCILIATION
	For the three months ended June 30, 2019, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income from continuing operations, net of tax less noncontrolling interests calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $9.6 million ($7.5 million after tax or $0.06 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges and a tax item of $0.1 million.
	For the six months ended June 30, 2019, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income from continuing operations, net of tax less noncontrolling interests calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $16.0 million ($12.2 million after tax or $0.08 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges and a net tax benefit of $0.4 million.
	For the three months ended June 30, 2018, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income from continuing operations, net of tax less noncontrolling interests calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $20.6 million ($16.3 million after tax or $0.11 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges and a tax expense associated with the 2017 sale of a product line of $0.7 million ($0.01 per diluted share).
	For the six months ended June 30, 2018, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income from continuing operations, net of tax less noncontrolling interests calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $25.5 million ($20.8 million after tax or $0.14 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges and a net charge related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and tax expense associated with the 2017 sale of a product line of $6.1 million ($0.04 per diluted share).

	RECONCILIATION OF FULL YEAR 2019 EARNINGS GUIDANCE TO GAAP
	The Company is targeting diluted EPS before charges/gains from continuing operations to be in the range of $3.53 to $3.67 per share. For the full year, on a GAAP basis, the Company is targeting diluted EPS from continuing operations to be in the range of $3.43 to $3.57 per share and including the full year impact of previously announced restructuring actions. Reconciliation of non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance to GAAP diluted EPS guidance cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from the diluted EPS before charges/gains. In addition, the Company's GAAP EPS range assumes the Company incurs no gains or losses associated with its defined benefit plans during 2019.
