The J. M. Smucker Company Announces Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Results

ORRVILLE, Ohio, November 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The J. M. Smucker Company (NYSE: SJM) today announced results for the second quarter ended October 31, 2019, of its 2020 fiscal year. Financial results reflect the divestiture of the Company's U.S. baking business on August 31, 2018. All comparisons are to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year, unless otherwise noted.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


•	Net sales decreased $63.7 million, or 3 percent. Net sales excluding the noncomparable divested business and foreign currency exchange decreased 1 percent.


•	Net income per diluted share was $1.85. Adjusted earnings per share was $2.26, an increase of 4 percent.


•	Cash from operations was $224.0 million, an increase of 10 percent. Free cash flow was $160.6 million in the quarter, compared to $125.1 million in the prior year.


•	The Company updated its full-year fiscal 2020 net sales, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow outlook.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REMARKS

“While our second quarter sales performance did not meet our expectations, we delivered EPS growth ahead of our projection, reflecting our commitment to maintain financial discipline and strengthen our bottom line," said Mark Smucker, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Despite continuing softness for our premium dog food offerings, we were pleased with the performance for the balance of our portfolio, as the momentum for our cat food and pet snacks businesses continued with year over year sales increases, our high growth coffee brands improved household penetration and market share, and Smucker's^® Uncrustables^® grew 19 percent, helping accelerate growth in snacking. Looking ahead, the actions we are taking across the Company, including the recently announced leadership changes, position us well for future long-term growth and shareholder value creation.”

Net Sales

Net sales decreased 3 percent, including the impact of $32.8 million of net sales in the prior year attributed to the divested U.S. baking business. Excluding the noncomparable baking results and $1.8 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange, net sales decreased $29.1 million, or 1 percent. Net price realization reduced net sales by 1 percentage point, primarily driven by lower net pricing for coffee and peanut butter, partially offset by higher pricing for pet food and pet snacks. Volume/mix impact was neutral as decreases for dog food and shortening and oils were mostly offset by increases for coffee and Smucker's^® Uncrustables^®.

Operating Income

Gross profit decreased $17.3 million, or 2 percent, primarily driven by the impact of the U.S. baking business divestiture and the net impact of lower prices in excess of lower costs, partially offset by favorable volume/mix. Operating income was comparable to the prior year, as the impact of a $26.6 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of the U.S. baking business in the prior year and the decrease in gross profit were mostly offset by decreases in special project costs and selling, distribution, and administrative ("SD&A") expenses.

Adjusted gross profit decreased $18.3 million, or 2 percent. Adjusted operating income decreased $24.7 million, or 6 percent, with the primary difference from generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") results being the exclusion of other special project costs, which decreased $22.1 million compared to the prior year.

Interest Expense, Other Income (Expense), and Income Taxes

Net interest expense decreased $4.5 million, reflecting the benefit of reduced debt due to net repayments of $566.9 million during the past twelve months.

Net other expense decreased by $5.9 million, primarily due to legal expenses incurred in the prior year.

The effective income tax rate was 24.3 percent compared to 30.0 percent in the prior year. The effective income tax rate in the prior year included increased income tax expense associated with the sale of the U.S. baking business.

Cash Flow and Debt

Cash provided by operating activities was $224.0 million, compared to $202.9 million in the prior year, primarily reflecting the increase in net income adjusted for noncash items, partially offset by an increase in cash required to fund working capital. Free cash flow was $160.6 million, compared to $125.1 million in the prior year, reflecting the increase in cash provided by operating activities and a $14.4 million reduction in capital expenditures. Net debt repayments in the quarter totaled $72.9 million.

FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

The Company provided updated full-year fiscal 2020 guidance as summarized below:



	Current		Previous
Net sales increase (decrease) vs prior year	(3	%)	(1%) - 0%
Adjusted earnings per share	$8.10 - $8.30		$8.35 - $8.55
Free cash flow (in millions)	$850		$875 - $925
Capital expenditures (in millions)	$300 - $320		$300 - $320
Effective tax rate	24.5	%	24.5% - 25.0%

Net sales are expected to be down 3 percent compared to the prior year, which included the loss of $105.9 million of sales in the first 4 months of fiscal 2019 related to the divested U.S. baking business and $25.4 million of incremental noncomparable sales for Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, LLC ("Ainsworth"). On a comparable basis, net sales are expected to be down 2 percent. The revision versus previous guidance includes the impact of second quarter sales results and greater than anticipated softness in the back half of the fiscal year, primarily for certain brands within the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment.

Adjusted earnings per share is expected to range from $8.10 to $8.30, based on 114.0 million shares outstanding. Earnings guidance reflects the reduced contribution from sales, gross profit margin of approximately 38.5 percent, and SD&A expenses declining approximately 2 percent compared to the prior year. Free cash flow is expected to be approximately $850 million.

SECOND QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Dollar amounts in the segment tables below are reported in millions.

U.S. Retail Pet Foods



	Net Sales	Segment Profit	Segment Profit Margin
FY20 Q2 Results	$709.9	$137.0	19.3%
Increase (decrease) vs prior year	(2%)	11%	230bps

Segment net sales decreased $18.2 million, reflecting a $19.5 million decline in private label sales due to both planned exits and softness at certain retailers. Volume/mix reduced net sales by 4 percentage points, primarily driven by declines for private label products and the Natural Balance^® brand, partially offset by gains for the Milk-Bone^® and Rachael Ray™ Nutrish^® brands. Net price realization increased 1 percentage point reflecting list price increases taken during the second half of the prior fiscal year across most brands, partially offset by increased trade spend.

Segment profit increased $13.1 million, reflecting the increase in net pricing, synergy realization, and reduced marketing expense, partially offset by increased input costs and the decline from volume/mix.

U.S. Retail Coffee



	Net Sales	Segment Profit	Segment Profit Margin
FY20 Q2 Results	$543.4	$182.5	33.6%
Increase (decrease) vs prior year	—	5%	160bps

Segment net sales decreased $1.5 million. Lower net price realization on the Folgers^® and Dunkin' Donuts^® brands reduced sales by 4 percentage points. The net pricing reflected promotional activity resulting from lower green coffee costs.

Segment profit increased $8.2 million, primarily due to the favorable volume/mix.

U.S. Retail Consumer Foods



	Net Sales	Segment Profit	Segment Profit Margin
FY20 Q2 Results	$426.1	$91.4	21.5%
Increase (decrease) vs prior year	(8%)	(32%)	-760bps

Segment net sales decreased $35.8 million, reflecting $32.0 million of noncomparable net sales in the prior year related to the divested U.S. baking business. Excluding the noncomparable results, net sales decreased 1 percent. Lower net pricing reduced sales by 3 percentage points, attributable to the Jif^®brand. Favorable volume/mix contributed 2 percentage points, primarily driven by the Smucker's^®Uncrustables^® and Jif^® brands, partially offset by the Crisco^®brand.

Segment profit decreased $42.9 million, primarily reflecting $35.4 million of noncomparable segment profit included in the prior year related to the divested U.S. baking business, including the $26.6 million pre-tax gain on sale. Excluding the impact of the divestiture, segment profit decreased 8 percent, reflecting the impact of net pricing and costs, partially offset by favorable volume/mix and reduced SD&A costs.

International and Away From Home



	Net Sales	Segment Profit	Segment Profit Margin
FY20 Q2 Results	$278.4	$50.4	18.1%
Increase (decrease) vs prior year	(3%)	(11%)	-170bps

Segment net sales decreased $8.2 million, primarily reflecting a 2 percentage point decline from volume/mix resulting from increased shipments in the prior year related to the closing of facilities in Mexico and transition to a distributor export model. Net sales were also reduced due to $1.8 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange and the impact of $0.8 million of noncomparable net sales in the prior year related to the divested U.S. baking business. Net price realization was neutral.

Segment profit decreased $6.3 million, primarily reflecting the impact of volume/mix and increased input costs, partially offset by lower SD&A costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including: net sales excluding acquisition, divestiture, and foreign currency exchange; adjusted gross profit; adjusted operating income; adjusted income; adjusted earnings per share; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges related to intangible assets (“EBITDA”); and free cash flow, as key measures for purposes of evaluating performance internally. The Company believes that investors' understanding of its performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in preparation of the annual budget and for the monthly analyses of its operating results. The Board of Directors also utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures as components for measuring performance for incentive compensation purposes.

Non-GAAP measures exclude certain items affecting comparability that can significantly affect the year-over-year assessment of operating results, which include amortization expense and impairment charges related to intangible assets, integration and restructuring costs (“special project costs”), and unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives (“unallocated derivative gains and losses”), as well as the related tax impact of these exclusions. The special project costs relate to specific integration and restructuring projects, and the unallocated derivative gains and losses reflect the changes in fair value of the Company's commodity and foreign currency exchange contracts. Additionally, income taxes, as adjusted is calculated using an adjusted effective income tax rate that is applied to adjusted income before income taxes. While this adjusted effective income tax rate does not generally differ materially from our GAAP effective income tax rate, certain items can significantly impact our adjusted effective income tax rate.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rather, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics used by management to internally evaluate its businesses and facilitates the comparison of past and present operations and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and may exclude certain nondiscretionary expenses and cash payments. A reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure for the current and prior year periods is included in the “Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables. The Company has also provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for its fiscal 2020 outlook.

(A) As unallocated derivative gains and losses vary each quarter based on market conditions and derivative positions taken, we do not project derivative gains or losses on a forward-looking basis. Therefore, the forward-looking net cumulative unallocated (losses) gains in the table above reflects the net unallocated (losses) gains recognized in GAAP results, but not yet allocated to our non-GAAP results as of October 31, 2019.
