DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced third quarter 2013 results and raised its annual outlook for sales and earnings per share.

"We continue to leverage our structural competitive advantages and the market recovery to deliver profitable growth," said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands Home & Security. "We are again increasing our 2013 annual outlook based on our strong performance."

Third Quarter 2013

For the third quarter of 2013, net sales were $1.125 billion, an increase of 24 percent over the third quarter of 2012. Diluted earnings per share were $0.37, compared to $0.24 in the prior year quarter. Diluted EPS before charges/gains were $0.46, compared to $0.29 the prior year. Operating income was $98.6 million, compared to $60.6 million in the prior year quarter. Operating income before charges/gains was $121.6 million, compared to $72.9 million the prior year.

"Sales were up double digits vs. last year for each of our segments in the third quarter, with our home product segments growing a combined 26 percent. Importantly, total operating income before charges/gains increased 67 percent," Klein said.

For each segment in the third quarter 2013, compared to the prior-year quarter:

Kitchen & Bath Cabinetry net sales were up 36 percent. Operating income before charges/gains increased $23.7 million over last year to $36.8 million, with GAAP operating income increasing $12.6 million. The sales increase was led by growth in dealers and home centers, with a continued improvement in repair and remodel volume and mix.
Plumbing & Accessories net sales were up 22 percent, and operating income before charges/gains was up 36 percent with share gains across the business.
Advanced Material Windows & Door Systems net sales were up 14 percent, as entry doors and windows each grew double digits. Operating income before charges/gains for the segment increased 39 percent, while GAAP operating income was down 8 percent.
Security & Storage net sales were up 10 percent, with a security sales increase of 7 percent and double digit tool storage sales growth. Segment operating income before charges/gains was up 42 percent.

"We delivered strong sales and profit growth across all segments of our business in the third quarter and have built solid momentum throughout the year," said Klein. "We believe we are still in the early stages of a multi-year housing recovery driven both by demand for new homes and consumers' desire to improve existing homes. Importantly, we remain confident in our ability to leverage our structural competitive advantages to continue to outperform our market, and we are well positioned for 2014."

Company Raises Annual Outlook for 2013

Based on the Company's continued strong performance, its continued confidence in the home products market recovery and expectation to continue outperforming the market, the Company now expects full-year 2013 net sales to increase 15 to 16 percent. The Company now expects diluted EPS before charges/gains to be in the range of $1.47 to $1.49. This targeted range compares to 2012 diluted EPS before charges/gains of $0.89.

"Our cash position increased in the third quarter, even as we repurchased $30 million of our shares in the quarter," said Lee Wyatt, chief financial officer. "As of September 30, 2013, cash increased to $157 million and debt decreased to $356 million. We expect to generate approximately $300 million in free cash flow in 2013 and end the year with net-debt-to-EBITDA around zero."

(a) Corporate expenses include the components of defined benefit plan expense other than service cost including actuarial gains and losses.

(b) Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is operating income (loss) derived in accordance with GAAP excluding restructuring and other charges, income from a contingent acquisition consideration adjustment, an asset impairment charge and the impact of income and expense from actuarial gains or losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by FBHS and its business segments. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

(c) Restructuring charges are costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and include workforce reduction costs; "other charges" represent charges directly related to restructuring initiatives that cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories, trade receivables allowances from exiting product lines and accelerated depreciation resulting from the closure of facilities and gains or losses associated with the sale of closed facilities.

(d) Represents gain attributable to reduction of estimated liability for contingent consideration associated with a business acquisition.

(e) Represents actuarial losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Actuarial gains or losses in a period represent the difference between actual and actuarially assumed experience, principally related to liability discount rates and plan asset returns, as well as other actuarial assumptions including compensation rates, turnover rates, and health care cost trend rates. The Company recognizes actuarial gains or losses immediately in operating income to the extent they cumulatively exceed a "corridor." The corridor is equal to the greater of 10% of the fair value of plan assets or 10% of a plan's projected benefit obligation. Actuarial gains or losses are determined at required remeasurement dates which occur at least annually in the fourth quarter. Remeasurements due to plan amendments and settlements may also occur in interim periods during the year. Our operating income (loss) before charges/gains reflects our expected rate of return on pension plan assets which in a given period may materially differ from our actual return on plan assets. Our liability discount rates and plan asset returns are based upon difficult to predict fluctuations in global bond and equity markets that are not directly related to the Company's business. We believe that the exclusion of actuarial gains or losses from operating income (loss) before charges/gains provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the business from period to period that may be considered in conjunction with our operating income as measured on a GAAP basis. We present this supplemental information because such actuarial gains or losses may create volatility in our operating income that does not necessarily have an immediate corresponding impact on operating cash flow or the actual compensation and benefits provided to our employees. The table below sets forth additional supplemental information on the Company's historical actual and expected rate of return on plan assets, as well as discount rates used to value its defined benefit obligations:

DILUTED EPS BEFORE CHARGES/GAINS RECONCILIATION

Diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding restructuring and other charges, income from a contingent acquisition consideration adjustment, asset impairment charges and the impact of income and expense from actuarial gains or losses associated with our defined benefit plans. Diluted EPS before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of the Company and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

For the third quarter of 2013, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $1.6 million ($1.1 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges, an asset impairment charge of $21.2 million ($13.8 million after tax or $0.08 per diluted share) and the impact of expense from the actuarial losses associated with our defined benefit plan of $0.2 million ($0.2 million after tax).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $2.8 million ($1.9 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges, asset impairment charges of $27.4 million ($20.0 million after tax or $0.12 per diluted share) and the impact of expense from actuarial losses associated with our defined benefit plan of $5.5 million ($3.7 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted share).

For the third quarter of 2012, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $8.6 million ($5.7 million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges and the impact of expense from actuarial losses associated with our defined benefit plans of $3.7 million ($2.4 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $10.6 million ($6.9 million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges, income from a contingent acquisition consideration adjustment of $2.0 million ($1.2 million after tax) and the impact of expense from actuarial losses associated with our defined benefit plans of $3.7 million ($2.4 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share).
