DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), an industry-leading home and security products company, today announced third quarter 2017 results and confirmed its 2017 annual outlook for earnings per share.

"In the third quarter sales growth was solid, despite the negative hurricane impact and continued labor constraints," said Chris Klein, chief executive officer, Fortune Brands. "Sales grew across our company, and overall profit increased. In particular, the GPG platform continues to grow significantly above market, and we recently added two premium English bath brands to the portfolio. Based on the current pace of market growth and our solid execution, we continue to expect to deliver strong full-year results."

Third Quarter 2017

For the third quarter of 2017, sales were $1.35 billion, an increase of 5 percent over the third quarter of 2016. Earnings per share were $0.83, compared to $0.77 in the prior-year quarter. EPS before charges/gains were $0.83, compared to $0.80 the same quarter last year. Operating income was $201.8 million, compared to $183.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income before charges/gains was $201.1 million, compared to $188.7 million the same quarter last year, up 7 percent.

"Operating margin before charges/gains for the total company grew to 14.9 percent as expected, and our results were solid against the roughly ten cents of non-repeating benefit in our EPS last year," said Patrick Hallinan, chief financial officer, Fortune Brands. "In the fourth quarter we continue to expect profitability growth to accelerate, and we remain squarely on track to achieve our near and long-term operating margin targets through our disciplined focus on profitable growth."

For each segment in the third quarter of 2017, compared to the prior-year quarter:

• Plumbing sales increased 12 percent, with growth in all channels. Organic sales increased high single digits, and Canada and China sales grew double digits. Operating margin before charges/gains was 22.2 percent.
• Cabinet sales increased 2 percent from the prior year. Sales grew in all channels, with a return to growth in premium, Canada and home center special order. Segment operating margin before charges/gains was 11.3 percent and reflected a non-repeating health-care benefit in the prior year.
• Door sales outpaced the market and were up 7 percent driven by new construction activity in the wholesale channel. Operating margin before charges/gains increased 90 basis points to 18.2 percent.
• Security sales increased 5 percent in the core business driven by strong international and safety sales, but were up one percent as reported due to timing of sales and the wind-down of select commercial product lines. Operating margin before charges/gains increased 80 basis points to 17.8 percent.

During the quarter the Global Plumbing Group (GPG) strengthened its platform as a multi -brand, -channel and -geography plumbing business positioned for growth, with strong organic sales results and solid performance from its expanded portfolio of brands. Recently the GPG acquired Shaws of England, a premium sink brand, and Victoria + Albert, a premium free-standing tub brand. Together these new additions are expected to add approximately $45 million in annualized revenue to the GPG, with strong margin accretive to the overall portfolio. The acquisitions of Shaws of England and Victoria + Albert broaden the overall GPG product and price point offering with exceptional products known for their distinct quality, craftsmanship and design.

"These latest additions to the GPG will leverage our strong wholesaler and builder relationships in addition to our distribution, supply chain and marketing capabilities in similar fashion to Riobel, ROHL and Perrin & Rowe. We now have a broader suite of premium plumbing brands with which we can create an enhanced showroom presence, and penetrate other market segments, such as hospitality. Victoria + Albert and Shaws align well with the GPG growth strategy, and we are on track to reach our goal of $2.5 billion in plumbing sales by 2020," said Klein.

Annual Outlook for 2017

The Company's 2017 annual outlook continues to be based on a U.S. home products market growth assumption of 6 to 7 percent and an assumption of 5 to 6 percent growth for our total global market. The Company now expects full-year 2017 sales growth in the range of 6 to 7 percent, which reflects the negative impact of hurricanes across the segments.

The Company also narrowed its full-year 2017 EPS outlook before charges/gains to a range of $3.05 to $3.10, versus a prior range of $3.04 to $3.12.

The Company also expects to generate free cash flow of approximately $450 million for the full-year 2017.

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.

	For the three months ended September 30, 2017, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income from continuing operations, net of tax including the impact from noncontrolling interests calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $0.6 million ($0.4 million after tax) of restructuring and the impact from actuarial gains associated with our defined benefit plans of $1.3 million ($0.9 million after tax).
	For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, diluted EPS before charges/gains is net income from continuing operations, net of tax including the impact from noncontrolling interests calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $5.3 million ($3.8 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges, asset impairment charges of $3.2 million ($3.2 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted share), the loss on sale of product line of $2.4 million ($2.5 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted share) and the impact of income from actuarial gains associated with our defined benefit plans of $1.3 million ($0.9 million after tax).
	For the three months ended September 30, 2016, diluted EPS before charges/gains is income from continuing operations, net of tax and including the impact from noncontrolling interests calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $4.6 million ($3.3 million after tax or $0.03 per diluted share) of net restructuring and other charges, the impact of expense from actuarial losses associated with our defined benefit plans of $1.0 million ($0.7 million after tax) and expense related to a tax item of $0.5 million.
	For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, diluted EPS before charges/gains is income from continuing operations, net of tax and including the impact from noncontrolling interests calculated on a diluted per-share basis excluding $16.8 million ($11.7 million after tax or $0.08 per diluted share) of restructuring and other charges, the impact of the write off of prepaid debt issuance cost of $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax), expense related to tax items of $1.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share), and actuarial losses of $1.9 million ($1.3 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted share).

	RECONCILIATION OF FULL YEAR 2017 EARNINGS GUIDANCE TO GAAP
	The Company is targeting diluted EPS before charges/gains from continuing operations to be in the range of $3.05 to $3.10 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 $2.99 to $3.04 per share. 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 additional gains or losses associated with its defined benefit plans.

	(1) Corporate expenses as derived in accordance with GAAP include the components of defined benefit plan expense other than service cost including actuarial gains and losses.
	(2) Restructuring charges are costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and include workforce reduction costs.
	(3) "Other charges" represent charges or gains 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, accelerated depreciation resulting from the closure of facilities, and gains or losses on the sale of previously closed facilities.  For Corporate, other charges incurred represent external costs directly related to the acquisition of Norcraft and primarily include expenditures for banking, legal, accounting and other similar services.  In addition, it includes estimated acquisition related inventory step-up expense in our Plumbing segment of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
	(4) Represents actuarial gains or 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 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 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:
