Briggs & Stratton Corporation Reports Results For The Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year 2014; Dividend Increased 4%

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs & Stratton Corporation (NYSE:BGG) today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended June 29, 2014.

Briggs & Stratton Corporation logo.

Highlights:

  • Fourth quarter fiscal 2014 consolidated net sales increased 4.1% to $496.8 million compared to the prior year
  • Fourth quarter fiscal 2014 engines segment sales increased 6.3% to $317.8 million compared to the prior year
  • Fourth quarter 2014 consolidated adjusted net income increased 36% to $14.6 million, from adjusted net income of $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013
  • Fourth quarter 2014 adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.31, or $0.09 higher than the prior year
  • Fiscal 2014 full year consolidated net sales of $1.86 billion were consistent with the prior fiscal year; Fiscal 2014 organic sales growth of 4% after excluding approximately $100 million of storm related sales in the previous fiscal year and acquisition-related growth
  • Quarterly dividend increased by 4% to $0.125 per share
  • Board of Directors authorized an additional $50 million in share repurchases 

"Despite a slower than normal start to the lawn and garden season this spring, we saw improved sales results for our engines and products due to the new innovative products launched this year and market share gains made within the large engine category," commented Todd J. Teske, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Briggs & Stratton Corporation.  Teske continued, "In addition to higher sales, we saw margin expansion in our engines business even as we continued to invest in our future with new product launches and building out our international sales distribution in emerging regions.  Within our Products segment, our new pressure washer product launches and our commercial lawn and garden business continued to perform well even as we saw reduced demand for generators in the U.S. following an uneventful storm season and lower pre-season snow thrower sales to our European customers due to a significantly below normal snow season in Europe last winter."

Also commenting on the fiscal year end results was David J. Rodgers, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, who said "Given our continued strong cash flow from operations of $127 million during fiscal 2014 and the ongoing strength of our balance sheet, the Board authorized an additional $50 million for share repurchases and a 4% increase in our quarterly cash dividend."

Teske also commented on the recent announcement that Briggs & Stratton would acquire Allmand Bros., Inc., a Holdrege, Nebraska based designer and manufacturer of high quality towable light towers, industrial heaters and solar LED arrow boards.  "We are pleased to announce a combination of these two well-established and great companies.  We believe the acquisition of Allmand diversifies our higher margin commercial product portfolio, provides an entry into the construction and energy job site channels, and provides higher sales growth opportunities in the U.S. and abroad," said Teske.

Consolidated Results:

Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were $496.8 million, an increase of $19.6 million or 4.1% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, due to higher sales of large engines used on riding lawnmowers, pressure washers, and service parts used on lawn and garden equipment. The increase in sales was partially offset by lower sales of smaller engines used in walk lawnmowers and decreased sales of generators. The fiscal 2014 fourth quarter consolidated net income, which includes restructuring actions and goodwill and tradename impairment charges, was $7.8 million or $0.17 per diluted share. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 consolidated net loss, which included restructuring charges, goodwill and tradename impairment charges, and a litigation settlement, was $55.0 million or $1.17 per diluted share.

Consolidated net sales for fiscal 2014 were $1.9 billion, a decrease of $3.4 million or 0.2% from fiscal 2013, due to lower sales of generators and the engines that power them.  The impact of fewer weather related events creating demand for generators and the related engines was an estimated sales decrease of $100 million for fiscal 2014. This decrease was offset by higher sales of engines used on U.S. lawn and garden equipment, increased sales of pressure washers and sales from Branco, which was acquired mid-year in fiscal 2013. Fiscal 2014 consolidated net income, which included restructuring actions and goodwill and tradename impairment charges, was $28.3 million or $0.59 per diluted share. Fiscal 2013 consolidated net loss, which includes restructuring charges, goodwill and tradename impairment charges, and a litigation settlement, was $33.7 million or $0.73 per diluted share. The estimated impact of the reduced storms on generator and related engine sales in fiscal 2014 was $0.20 per diluted share compared with fiscal 2013 which had storms including Hurricanes Isaac and Sandy.

Engines segment net sales of $317.8 million in the fourth fiscal quarter increased $18.7 million or 6.3% from the prior year. Total engine volumes shipped in the quarter increased 2% to approximately 2 million units. Net sales increased partially due to increased placement of large engines used on lawn and garden equipment in the North America market, higher sales into the European market due to an improved season and higher service parts sales.  Partially offsetting this increase was lower sales of small engines due to a decrease in the market for walk lawnmowers this season. New innovations, including Quiet Power Technology™ ("QPT™"), Mow-and-Stow™ and Ready Start® for Ride, were well received by the market this selling season. 

Engines segment adjusted income from operations in the fourth fiscal quarter was $22.2 million, an increase of $8.1 million from the prior year. Engines segment adjusted gross profit margin improved 50 basis points on favorable net pricing and mix, including the impact of new product introductions. In addition, we benefitted by 27% higher production of engines in the quarter improving adjusted gross profit margin by 160 basis points. Lastly, engine segment adjusted gross profit margin benefited by 130 basis points due to reduced manufacturing costs and improved plant efficiencies compared to the prior year. Engineering, selling, general and administrative increased $6.2 million due to increased international sales and marketing expenses, research and development costs, corporate development and legal expenses, and compensation and benefits.

Products segment net sales of $206.6 million in the fourth fiscal quarter increased by $3.5 million or 2% from the prior year. This increase was due to higher sales of pressure washers, commercial lawn and garden equipment and service parts in the North America market. Partially offsetting the increase were lower sales of generators as a result of fewer weather related events during fiscal 2014 and lower replenishment of snow throwers in Europe following last year's dry winter.  Sales volume increases in both Australia and Brazil were offset by unfavorable foreign exchange related to the devaluation of the currencies.

Products segment adjusted loss from operations in the fourth fiscal quarter was $1.4 million, an increase of $0.5 million from the prior year adjusted loss from operations. Products adjusted gross profit margins were consistent year over year. Products segment adjusted gross profit margin benefited from a 12% increase in manufacturing throughput as well as improved product sales mix in fiscal 2014. Offsetting the increase in adjusted gross profit margin was an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of approximately 60 basis points. Engineering, selling, general and administrative increased $1.0 million due to increased spending to support international growth.

Corporate Items:

Interest expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $0.1 million lower compared to the same period a year ago. For fiscal 2014, interest expense was comparable to fiscal 2013.

The effective tax rate for fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was 14.8% compared to 32.6% for the same period of fiscal 2013. The tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was driven by the impact of foreign operations subject to different statutory tax rates. The tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was impacted by a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge. 

Financial Position:

Net debt at June 29, 2014 was $30.3 million (total debt of $225.0 million less $194.7 million of cash), or $6.6 million lower than the $36.9 million (total debt of $225.3 million less $188.4 million of cash) at June 30, 2013. Cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal 2014 were $127.1 million compared to $160.8 million in fiscal 2013. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily related to changes in working capital as higher fourth quarter sales in fiscal 2014 led to a larger accounts receivable balance year over year. The change was partially offset by no contributions to the pension plan in fiscal 2014 compared to $29.4 million of contributions in fiscal 2013.

Restructuring:

The restructuring actions that were in progress at the beginning of fiscal 2014 have concluded as planned. These restructuring actions resulted in pre-tax restructuring costs for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended June 29, 2014 of $1.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Incremental pre-tax restructuring savings for fiscal 2014 were $2.5 million.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company announced further restructuring actions to narrow its assortment of lower-priced Snapper consumer lawn and garden equipment and consolidate its Products segment manufacturing facilities in order to reduce costs. The Company will continue to focus on premium residential products through its Snapper and Simplicity brands and commercial products through its Snapper Pro and Ferris brands. The Company will close its McDonough, Georgia location and consolidate production into existing facilities in Wisconsin and New York.

Total restructuring charges related to these actions are anticipated to be approximately $30 to $37 million, including non-cash write-downs of approximately $15 to $20 million, to be recorded during fiscal 2015. Total cash costs related to these actions are anticipated to be approximately $15 to $17 million, with the majority of the cash costs being incurred in fiscal 2015. Total annual cost savings as a result of these actions are anticipated to be approximately $15 to $20 million with approximately $5 million to $7 million expected to be realized in fiscal 2015 and the remainder realized in fiscal 2016 upon completion of the transition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Products segment sales are estimated to be lower by approximately $20 to $25 million in fiscal 2015 and $35 to $45 million annually beginning in fiscal 2016 as a result of these actions. 

Pending Acquisition:

On August 14, 2014, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Allmand Bros., Inc. Founded in 1938 and based in Holdrege, Nebraska, Allmand is a leading designer and manufacturer of high quality towable light towers, industrial heaters, and solar LED arrow boards. The transaction is expected to close in the next 30 days.

Share Repurchase Program:

On August 8, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized up to $50 million in funds associated with the common share repurchase program with an expiration date of June 30, 2014. On January 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized up to an additional $50 million in funds for use in the Company's common share repurchase program with an extension of the expiration date to June 30, 2016. On August 13, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized up to an additional $50 million in funds for use in the Company's common share repurchase program with an expiration date of June 30, 2016. The common share repurchase program authorizes the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in private transactions from time to time, depending on market conditions and certain governing loan covenants. During fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased 2,100,499 shares on the open market at an average price of $20.49 per share. Since the end of the fiscal year, the Company has repurchased an additional 658,167 shares on the open market at an average price of $19.35 per share. As of August 12, 2014, the Company has remaining authorization to repurchase up to approximately $75 million of common stock with an expiration date of June 30, 2016.

Outlook:

For fiscal 2015, the Company projects net income to be in a range of $50 million to $60 million or $1.07 to $1.27 per diluted share prior to the impact of acquisitions, additional share repurchases, or costs related to our announced restructuring actions. Our fiscal 2015 consolidated net sales are projected to be in a range of $1.88 billion to $1.94 billion. We estimate that the retail market for lawn and garden products will increase 1-4% in the U.S. next season. Sales estimates do not include the impact of landed hurricanes.  Operating income margins for fiscal 2015 are expected to improve over fiscal 2014 and be in a range of 4.5% to 5.0% and reflect the positive impacts of the restructuring actions, particularly in the last quarter of the fiscal year. Interest expense and other income are estimated to be approximately $19 million and $7 million, respectively. The effective tax rate is projected to be in a range of 30% to 33% and capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $60 million to $65 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Briggs & Stratton prepares its financial statements using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). When a company discloses material information containing non-GAAP financial measures, SEC regulations require that the disclosure include a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measure. Management's inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures in this release is intended to supplement, not replace, the presentation of the financial results in accordance with GAAP. Briggs & Stratton Corporation management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze our business trends and to understand our performance. In addition, we may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in our forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning process. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures:
