MARYSVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG), the world's leading marketer of branded consumer lawn and garden products, today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 29, 2013, as well as a 35 percent increase in its recurring quarterly dividend. The Company also said full-year adjusted earnings are trending toward the mid-point of its previous guidance range of $2.50 to $2.75 per share.
Net sales increased $93 million, or 9 percent, to $1.15 billion for the quarter compared with $1.05 billion a year ago. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $153.9 million, or $2.46 per share, compared with $100.8 million, or $1.62 per share a year ago.
The Company said consumer purchases in the U.S. at its largest retail partners increased 15 percent during the third quarter compared to a year ago. Consumer purchases increased in every category and total market share remained stable from 2012. Year-to-date consumer purchases were essentially flat entering August, compared to a year ago.
"The level of consumer engagement we've seen since April has erased the deficit we had after a slow break to the season in March," said chairman and chief executive officer Jim Hagedorn. "In each area of the business, our team has done an outstanding job executing our plan this year. With less than two months remaining in our fiscal year, we now feel comfortable projecting that our full-year earnings should be at the mid-point of our guidance of $2.50 to $2.75 per share."
Separately, the Company announced its Board of Directors has approved a 35 percent increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.4375 per share. The fourth quarter dividend is payable on September 10, 2013 to shareholders of record on August 27, 2013.
"As a result of our strong performance, we've been able to reduce our leverage to a point where we can execute our commitment to returning cash to our shareholders," said chief financial officer Larry Hilsheimer. "The increase in our quarterly dividend demonstrates a high degree of confidence in the strength of our business and ongoing cash flow. In addition to the activities we announced today, we will continue to weigh the benefits of future shareholder-friendly actions, the most likely of which in the near-term will be reinstituting our share repurchase plan."
Third Quarter Details
Global Consumer segment sales increased 10 percent to $1.05 billion in the third quarter compared to $960.7 million a year ago. Sales in the U.S. increased 8 percent during the quarter. Outside the U.S., sales increased 21 percent, excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates. Operating income for the Global Consumer segment was $261.7 million, compared to $171.7 million a year ago.
Scotts LawnService sales increased 2 percent to $89.9 million in the third quarter, compared to $87.8 million during the same quarter a year ago. Operating income for the segment was flat during the quarter at $22.3 million, compared to a year ago.
The company-wide adjusted gross margin rate was 38.6 percent, compared with 35.0 percent during the same quarter a year ago. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to improved leverage of fixed manufacturing and warehousing costs in addition to favorable commodity costs, pricing and other cost efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the third quarter decreased 4 percent, or $8.1 million, to $189.5 million, compared to $197.6 million a year ago. The year-over-year savings were driven by expense reduction as part of the Company's Project Max initiative.
Adjusted income from continuing operations was $153.9 million, or $2.46 per share, compared to $100.8 million, or $1.62 per share, for the same period a year ago. Those results exclude costs related to impairment, restructuring and other charges, as well as product registration and recall matters. Including those items, reported income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $148.2 million, or $2.37 per share, compared with $96.4 million, or $1.55 per share, compared to a year ago.
During the quarter the Company recorded $8.5 million in restructuring charges, primarily attributed to its efforts to improve the profitability of its international operations.
Year-to-Date Details
Net sales for the nine months were $2.37 billion, a decrease of 2 percent from net sales of $2.42 billion a year ago. The change in sales was attributable to lower unit volume in the Global Consumer segment, partially offset by increased pricing.
The adjusted company-wide gross margin rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was 35.9 percent, compared to 35.3 percent a year ago. SG&A decreased $36.0 million to $521.0 million for the nine months of fiscal 2013.
Adjusted income from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was $185.5 million, or $2.97 per share, compared to $161.4 million, or $2.61 per share a year ago. Those results exclude costs related to impairment, restructuring and other charges, as well as product registration and recall matters. Including those items, reported income from continuing operations for the first nine months was $179.8 million, or $2.88 per share, compared with $149.8 million, or $2.42 per share, compared to a year ago.
Full-Year Outlook
In refining its full-year earnings guidance, the Company said it continues to expect fiscal 2013 net sales ranging from a 1 percent decrease to an increase of 1 percent compared to a year ago. SG&A savings are expected to be at the upper end of its previous guidance range of 3 percent to 5 percent for the year. In addition, the Company said it expects improvement of 60 to 100 basis points for the full-year adjusted gross margin rate.
The Company reiterated expectations for operating cash flow of at least $250 million in fiscal 2013 due to strong operating results, improvements in working capital and one-time tax benefits.

THE SCOTTS MIRACLE-GRO COMPANY
Net Sales and Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes by Segment
(In millions)
(Unaudited)
The Company is divided into the following reportable segments: Global Consumer and Scotts LawnService®. This division of reportable segments is consistent with how the segments report to and are managed by the chief operating decision maker of the Company.
Segment performance is evaluated based on several factors, including income from continuing operations before amortization, product registration and recall costs, impairment, restructuring and other charges, which is not a generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure. Senior management of the Company uses this measure of operating profit to evaluate segment performance because we believe this measure is the most indicative of performance trends and the overall earnings potential of each segment.
Corporate & Other consists of revenues and expenses associated with the Company's supply agreements with Israel Chemicals Ltd. and the amortization related to the Roundup® Marketing Agreement, as well as corporate, general and administrative expenses and certain other income/expense items not allocated to the business segments. Corporate & Other assets primarily include deferred financing and debt issuance costs and corporate intangible assets, as well as deferred tax assets.

Basic income per common share amounts are calculated by dividing income from continuing operations, income from discontinued operations and net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. |
|||||
| (2) |
Diluted income per common share amounts are calculated by dividing income from continuing operations, income from discontinued operations and net by the weighted average number of common shares, plus all potential dilutive securities (common stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance units, restricted stock and restricted stock units) outstanding during the period. |
|||||

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company completed the wind down of the Company's professional seed business. As a result, effective in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company classified its results of operations for all periods presented to reflect the professional seed business as a discontinued operation. |
|||||
| (4) |
The Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosure Items includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted income per share from continuing operations - These measures exclude charges or credits relating to impairments, restructurings, product registration and recall matters, discontinued operations and other unusual items such as costs or gains related to discrete projects or transactions that are apart from, and not indicative of, the results of the operations of the business. |
|||||
| Adjusted EBITDA - This measure is calculated as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as certain other items such as the impact of the cumulative effect of changes in accounting, costs associated with debt refinancing and other non-recurring, non-cash items affecting net income. We believe this measure provides additional information for determining our ability to meet debt service requirements. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA herein is intended to be consistent with the calculation of that measure as required by our borrowing arrangements, and used to calculate a leverage ratio (maximum of 3.50 at June 29, 2013) and an interest coverage ratio (minimum of 3.50 for the twelve months ended June 29, 2013). The Company was in compliance with the terms of all debt covenants at June 29, 2013. |
||||||
| The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparison between current results and results in prior operating periods. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are the most indicative of the Company's ongoing earnings capabilities and that disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures therefore provides useful information to investors and other users of its financial statements, such as lenders. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
