HRG Group, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results

SPB

Achieves Consolidated Revenue Growth of 11.0% Over the Second Quarter of 2015

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, May 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- HRG Group, Inc. ("HRG" or the "Company"; NYSE: HRG), a diversified holding company focused on owning businesses that it believes can, in the long term, generate sustainable free cash flow or attractive returns on investment, today announced its consolidated results for the second quarter of Fiscal 2016 ended on March 31, 2016 (the "Fiscal 2016 Quarter").  The results include HRG's four segments:

  • Consumer Products, which consists of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Spectrum Brands"; NYSE: SPB);
  • Insurance, which consists of Front Street Re (Delaware) Ltd. and its subsidiaries ("Front Street");
  • Energy, which consists of Compass Production Partners, LP and its subsidiaries ("Compass"); and
  • Asset Management, which consists of Salus Capital Partners, LLC ("Salus"), Energy & Infrastructure Capital, LLC ("EIC") and CorAmerica Capital, LLC ("CorAmerica").

"We are pleased to report another solid quarter at HRG, highlighted by strong growth on our topline as well as a substantial increase in consolidated operating income, which has increased in the first half of the year by more than half a billion dollars as compared to the first half of Fiscal 2015," said Omar Asali, President and Chief Executive Officer of HRG.

"Spectrum Brands delivered yet another excellent quarter, achieving organic sales growth of 4.9% and higher Adjusted EBITDA, on a currency-consistent basis, from each of its major product categories, and we continue to anticipate record levels of annual revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow from Spectrum in Fiscal 2016," continued Asali.  "In the Energy segment, we continue to maintain a focus on the leverage and liquidity profile at Compass, while in Asset Management, we have achieved a significant reduction in that segment's general and administrative costs as the wind down of Salus moves closer to completion.

"Elsewhere this quarter, FGL moved closer to completing its transaction with Anbang and received clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. FGL continues to make progress securing the remaining regulatory approvals and we expect FGL to close this transaction in the third quarter of calendar year 2016. We remain committed to using a portion of the proceeds from the FGL transaction to meaningfully delever at HRG Group and will consider other strategies that maximize shareholder value. We will outline a more specific plan for how we will use the proceeds after the close."

Important Note Regarding the Presentation of our Insurance Segment:

Fidelity & Guaranty Life ("FGL"; NYSE: FGL) has reached a definitive merger agreement under which Anbang Insurance Group Co., Ltd. and certain of its subsidiaries will acquire FGL for $26.80 per share in cash.  The Company owns 47 million shares in FGL, representing an approximately 80.4% interest as of March 31, 2016.  As a result of this agreement, the Company's investment in FGL has been classified as held for sale on the balance sheet and FGL's operations have been classified as discontinued operations.  Results for all periods have been reclassified accordingly.  FGL's results were previously reflected in the Insurance segment; however, all segment information has been adjusted to exclude FGL's results from this segment.  Accordingly, the commentary for the Insurance segment in this release no longer reflects the performance of FGL in either the current or prior year quarters.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Consolidated Highlights:

  • HRG recorded total revenues of $1.3 billion for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, an increase of $125.7 million, or 11.0%, as compared to the $1.1 billion recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 (the "Fiscal 2015 Quarter"), as higher Consumer Products revenues, driven primarily by acquisitions completed within the past year and organic revenue growth, more than offset the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange and lower Energy revenues resulting primarily from declines in commodity prices.
  • Consolidated operating income of $115.8 million in the Fiscal 2016 Quarter increased $292.9 million as compared to the $177.1 million of operating loss reported in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  The increase was due primarily to a lesser amount of impairments and bad debt expense in the current quarter, as described further in the Additional Items section.  Excluding the impact of impairments and bad debt expense, operating income of $143.4 million in the Fiscal 2016 Quarter increased $105.9 million, due to the impact of the higher revenues as well as lower selling, acquisition, operating and general expenses.
  • Results reflect a $14.7 million increase in interest expense relative to the Fiscal 2015 Quarter associated with higher overall debt levels, due primarily to financing activities completed in connection with accretive acquisitions.
  • HRG incurred a tax expense of $8.9 million in the Fiscal 2016 Quarter and a 43.4% effective tax rate as compared to a $0.8 million tax benefit in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter and a 0.3% effective tax rate.  The increase in tax expense in the current quarter was principally due to an increase in pre-tax income at Consumer Products and Insurance, partially offset by a decrease in Consumer Products' effective tax rate as a result of realization of tax benefits that were previously covered by a valuation allowance.  In addition, HRG recognized partial tax benefits expected to be realized as a result of the expected gain from the sale of FGL.
  • Net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders of $19.9 million, or $0.10 per common share attributable to controlling interest during the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, as compared to a net loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders of $236.9 million, or $1.20 per common share attributable to controlling interest during the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  The reduction in loss was due primarily to the higher operating income.
  • For the six months ended March 31, 2016 (the "Fiscal 2016 Six Months"), HRG had corporate cash and investments of approximately $237.4 million (primarily held at HRG and HGI Funding LLC), a decrease of $58.0 million from the comparable balance of $295.4 million held as of December 31, 2015 due primarily to the payment of semi-annual interest made during the quarter on the Company's notes.
  • In the Fiscal 2016 Six Months, HRG received dividends of $30.9 million from its subsidiaries, comprised of $24.3 million and $0.4 million from the Consumer Products and Asset Management segments, respectively, as well as $6.2 million from FGL. 

Additional Items:

Non-Cash Impairments and Bad Debt Expense

Energy
Pursuant to SEC reporting requirements, Compass performed a ceiling test at the end of the quarter utilizing simple average first day of the month spot prices for the trailing twelve month period for proved reserves, which may not be indicative of actual market values or forward strip prices for those reserves.  As a result of this test, Compass recorded a non-cash impairment of $21.2 million to its proved oil and natural gas properties during the quarter, due primarily to the ongoing decline in oil and natural gas prices.  This impairment is reflected in the operating income of the Energy segment for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, and, if oil and gas prices do not increase, additional, non-cash impairments to Compass' properties may be required in Fiscal 2016.  In the Fiscal 2015 Quarter, Compass recorded $146.6 million of impairments.

Asset Management
During the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, $6.7 million of impairments and bad-debt expense were recorded.  As of March 31, 2016, Salus' portfolio of asset-based loans receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, was $136.8 million, a decline of $89.9 million from the comparable balance as of September 30, 2015, as Salus continues to execute the orderly wind down of its operations.

Discontinued Operations

During the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, the Company recorded a $13.1 million loss from discontinued operations, reflecting $10.4 million of a gain on FGL's operations in the quarter, offset by a 23.5 million reduction in the carrying value of FGL to fair value.

Detail on Second Quarter Segment Results:

Consumer Products:
Note: Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products, as described below, is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that excludes interest, income tax expense, certain purchase accounting fair value adjustments, restructuring and related charges, acquisition and integration related charges, depreciation and amortization expenses and stock-based compensation - see "Non-U.S. GAAP Measures" and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products to the Consumer Product segment's net income or loss in the tables accompanying this release.

Consumer Products reported consolidated net sales of $1,209.6 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, an increase of $142.6 million, or 13.4%, as compared to the $1,067.0 million reported in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  The increase was due primarily to the impact of newly acquired businesses, primarily in global auto care, and organic growth in certain product categories, including record second quarter hardware and home improvement results.  These increases more than offset the negative impact of $32.1 million from unfavorable foreign exchange.  Excluding the net impact of foreign exchange, sales increased $174.7 million, or 16.4%, as compared to the Fiscal 2015 Quarter, with higher currency-consistent sales in all product categories as compared to Fiscal 2015 except small appliances, which declined due to competitor discounting, softer North American category performance and the exit of unprofitable business.  Excluding the impacts of both foreign exchange and $122.8 million in revenue from businesses acquired in Fiscal 2015, Consumer Products revenue increased $51.9 million, or 4.9%, on an organic basis over the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.

Gross profit, representing net Consumer Products sales minus Consumer Products cost of goods sold, increased $88.1 million, or 23.5%, to $462.8 million in the Fiscal 2016 Quarter.  The increase was driven by the same factors that affected revenue.  Gross profit margin, representing gross profit as a percentage of Consumer Products net sales, was 38.3% in the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, an increase of 320 basis points over the Fiscal 2015 Quarter, due, in part, to a shift toward higher margin products and the impact of cost improvement initiatives.

Operating income increased $60.1 million, or 68%, to $148.5 million in the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, as compared to $88.4 million in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter, due primarily to higher profitability in acquired businesses.

Consumer Products adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products") was $229.6 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, as compared to $159.1 million for the Fiscal 2015 Quarter, an increase of $70.5 million, or 44.3%.  Excluding the negative impact of $17.7 million in unfavorable foreign exchange in the current quarter, as well as acquisition-related EBITDA of $49.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products increased 24.6%, or $39.2 million, to $198.2 million, with increases in all of the segment's product categories.

After the close of the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, on April 26, 2016, Spectrum Brands announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.38 per share on Spectrum Brands' common stock.  This is a 15.2% increase in the quarterly dividend declared as compared to the $0.33 quarterly dividend paid per share in connection with the comparable period in Fiscal 2015.  Over the past three years, the quarterly dividend Spectrum Brands has paid to its common stockholders has increased 52%.

For more information on HRG's Consumer Products segment, interested parties should read Spectrum Brands' announcements and public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Spectrum Brands' most recent quarterly earnings announcement, which may be accessed at www.spectrumbrands.com.

Insurance:
Insurance segment revenues of $39.6 million in the Fiscal 2016 Quarter increased $78.5 million from a $38.9 million loss recorded in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  The increase was due primarily to the absence in 2016 of realized losses and impairments which negatively affected the 2015 results, as well as an increase in the fair value of the underlying securities included in the funds withheld receivable.  This increase in fair value was driven by decreasing risk-free interest rates and tightening credit spreads during the quarter, which resulted in higher valuations of the fixed maturity securities in Front Street's funds withheld receivable.

The operating loss of $1.8 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter reflected an improvement of $54.5 million from the operating loss of $56.3 million reported for the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  The improvement was due primarily to the same factors affecting revenue.  In addition, selling, acquisition, operating and general expenses were reduced substantially as compared to the prior year.

Energy:
Note: Adjusted EBITDA-Energy is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that excludes interest expense, depreciation, amortization and depletion, accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations, non-cash write-downs of assets, gain on remeasurement of investment to fair value, gain on sale of oil and gas properties, non-recurring other operating items, non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, cash settlements on derivative financial instruments and stock-based compensation - see "Non-U.S. GAAP Measures" and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA-Energy to the Energy segment's operating income in the tables accompanying this release.

Oil and natural gas revenues of $9.5 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter reflected a decrease of $16.5 million, or 63.5%, from the $26.0 million of revenues reported in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  The decline was due primarily to lower prices for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, as the average sales price per barrel for oil and natural gas liquids declined by 36% and 31%, respectively, in Fiscal 2016 as compared to Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  Revenue was further affected by natural declines in production as well as the disposition of the Holly, Waskom and Danville assets as of December 1, 2015.

Operating loss for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter was $26.7 million, an improvement of $134.6 million from the operating loss of $161.3 million recorded in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  The improvement was due primarily to a lesser amount of ceiling test impairment in the current quarter as discussed in the "Additional Items" section.  Excluding impairments, the operating loss of $5.5 million in the Fiscal 2016 Quarter compared to an operating loss of $14.7 million in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter, with the improvement due primarily to a 67% reduction in selling, acquisition, operating and general expenses.

Energy segment adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA-Energy") was a loss of $0.6 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, a decrease of $6.1 million from the $5.5 million of income recorded in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter due primarily to the impact of the lower pricing.

For the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, the Energy segment's production was 73 Mbbl of oil, 94 Mbbl of natural gas liquids and 3,420 Mmcf of natural gas.  In the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, average daily production at Compass was 49 Mmcfe as compared to 90 Mmcfe in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter, with the decrease due primarily to the disposition of the Holly, Waskom and Danville assets as of December 1, 2015, as well as the impact of natural production declines.

Asset Management:
The Asset Management segment reported revenues of $1.6 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 68.6%, from the $5.1 million reported in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  The decrease was due primarily to a lower amount of interest income generated at Salus, which is in the process of winding down its operations and maximizing the recovery of capital from its existing loan portfolio.  As of March 31, 2016, Salus, together with its affiliated co-lender Front Street Re, had $136.8 million of loans outstanding, net of allowance for credit losses of $47.8 million.  This compares to $226.7 million of loans outstanding, net of allowance for credit losses of $47.9 million, as of September 30, 2015.

The Asset Management segment reported an operating loss of $9.2 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, an improvement of $58.1 million as compared to the operating loss of $67.3 million reported in the Fiscal 2015 Quarter.  The reduction in the operating loss was due primarily to a lower amount of impairments and bad debt expense in the current period, as described in the Additional Items section.  Excluding the impact of impairments and bad debt expense from both periods, operating loss of $2.5 million in the Fiscal 2016 Quarter improved $1.8 million from for the Fiscal 2015 Quarter, due primarily to a reduction in operating expenses at Salus.

Forward Looking Statements

"Safe Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This document contains, and certain oral statements made by our representatives from time to time may contain, forward-looking statements, including those statements regarding the completion of the merger between FGL and Anbang, the Company's use of proceeds from the FGL merger, expected dividends from our subsidiaries, our or our subsidiaries' capital needs and potential acquisitions, dispositions or other transactions by us or our subsidiaries, and expectations with respect to foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. Generally, forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future distributions from subsidiaries, other actions, events, results, strategies and expectations and are identifiable by use of the words "believes," "expects," "intends," "anticipates," "plans," "seeks," "estimates," "projects," "may," "will," "could," "might," or "continues" or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events and developments to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by such statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of HRG's management and the management of HRG's subsidiaries (including target businesses). Factors that could cause actual results, events and developments to differ include, without limitation: the ability of HRG's subsidiaries to close previously announced transactions; the ability of HRG's subsidiaries (including, target businesses following their acquisition) to generate sufficient net income and cash flows to make upstream cash distributions; the decision of HRG subsidiaries' boards to make upstream cash distributions, which is subject to numerous factors such as restrictions contained in applicable financing agreements, state and regulatory restrictions and other relevant considerations as determined by the applicable board; HRG's liquidity, which may be impacted by a variety of factors, including the capital needs of HRG's current and future subsidiaries; capital market conditions; commodity market conditions; foreign exchange rates; HRG's and its subsidiaries' ability to identify, pursue or complete any suitable future acquisition or disposition opportunities, including realizing such transaction's expected benefits, efficiencies/cost avoidance or savings, income and margins, growth, economies of scale, streamlined/combined operations, economic performance and conditions to, and the timetable for, completing applicable financial reporting requirements; litigation; potential and contingent liabilities; management's plans; changes in regulations; taxes; and the risks that may affect the performance of the operating subsidiaries of HRG and those factors listed under the caption "Risk Factors" in HRG's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  All forward-looking statements described herein are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results, events or developments referenced herein will occur or be realized.  Neither HRG nor any of its affiliates undertake any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operation results, except as required by law.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

Management believes that certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included herein.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used in our Consumer Products ("Adjusted EBITDA - Consumer Products") and Energy ("Adjusted EBITDA - Energy") segments and one of the measures used for determining Spectrum Brands and Compass' debt covenant compliance.  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") represent net income adjusted to exclude interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period and other non-recurring operating items, accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations, non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, non-cash write-downs of assets, and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management and frequently used by the financial community and provides insight into an organization's operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA can also be a useful measure of a company's ability to service debt. Computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in the inclusion or exclusion of items in our computations as compared to those of others.

While management believes that non-U.S. GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace U.S. GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those U.S. GAAP results.
