Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE: FO):
-- Sales Up 5% for Quarter and Up 7% for Year as All Three Businesses
Perform Above Company's Expectations
-- 2010 EPS Increases at Strong Double-Digit Rate on Successful Growth
Initiatives
-- Company Generates $690 Million in Free Cash Flow for the Year
-- Initiative to Separate Company's Three Businesses on Track
Fortune Brands, Inc. [NYSE: FO], the company behind leading
consumer brands including Jim Beam, Titleist and Moen, today
reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2010.
-- Net sales increased 5% for the quarter and 7% for the full year,
reflecting growth across all three business units.
-- Diluted earnings per share were $0.55 for the quarter and were $3.16
for the full year, benefiting from strong operating
performance,
favorable foreign exchange and a year-over-year net gain.
-- On a before charges/gains basis, diluted EPS decreased 5% to $0.63 for
the fourth quarter, reflecting the expected impact of higher
year-over-year strategic investments to strengthen
sustainable
long-term growth for each business.
-- For the full year 2010, diluted EPS before charges/gains increased 16%
to $2.81. The company's most recent expectation was for diluted
EPS
before charges/gains for 2010 to be toward the middle of its
$2.60-2.90 target range.
"2010 was an excellent year for Fortune Brands. We outperformed
our markets, we delivered on our operational goals, and our
businesses emerged from the recession in very strong positions. In
addition to this strong performance, we announced our intention to
separate our three businesses in 2011 to maximize long-term value
for shareholders," said Bruce Carbonari, chairman and chief
executive officer of Fortune Brands.
Strength Across All Three Businesses
"Our determination to go on offense during the economic downturn
and boost strategic investment across our businesses made a big
impact in 2010. Each of our businesses continued to strengthen its
competitive position throughout the year, and Fortune Brands
delivered strong double-digit growth in 2010 earnings. While we had
anticipated full-year earnings toward the middle of our current
target range, our earnings were stronger than that as all three
businesses performed above our expectations in the fourth quarter.
We also exceeded the high end of the earnings target range we
originally established at the start of the year," Carbonari
said.
-- "Our Beam Global spirits business closed the year with continued
momentum. Reported fourth quarter sales also benefited from a
change
in the trading terms with a major customer in Australia related
to the
way we record excise taxes. For the full year, our spirits
sales
achieved a new record on solid growth in the U.S., good
performance in
Europe, and double-digit growth in emerging markets and global
travel
retail. Reflecting the success of our strategic investments,
we
generated strong consumer demand for brands including Jim
Beam,
Maker's Mark, Sauza, Canadian Club, Courvoisier, Teacher's and
Cruzan.
Notably, Maker's Mark exceeded one million cases sold for the
first
time ever with another year of double-digit growth. We also
energized
our categories with a record year of innovations, including
Maker's
46, Cruzan 9, Teacher's Origin, Courvoisier's Connoisseur
Collection
and the continued growth of Red Stag by Jim Beam. As we've
previously
indicated, our lower spirits operating income before charges for
the
year reflected our double-digit increase in strategic
investment
that's positioning the business for strong and sustainable
long-term
profit growth.
-- "Home & Security sales and operating income grew in the quarter
against its strong prior-year results, partly benefiting
from
pull-forward in demand for Simonton windows in advance of the
year-end
expiration of a consumer tax credit for energy-efficient
home
products. For the full year, we outperformed a relatively flat
market
with 6% comparable sales growth. We grew across all product
categories
as we benefited from successful strategic investments, new
business
wins, innovative new products and growth for Moen and Master
Lock in
international markets. Our successful proactive initiatives to
reduce
costs, enhance productivity, and create lean and flexible
supply
chains paid off in excellent operating leverage and strong
double-digit profit growth in Home & Security for 2010.
-- "Our Acushnet Company golf business closed the year with strong
fourth-quarter comparable sales gains across geographies and
product
categories, including a double-digit gain for Titleist clubs
driven by
the new 910 drivers and Vokey Design wedges. For the full year,
the
golf business strengthened its industry leadership behind
sustained
global growth for the Pro V1 golf ball, and successful new
product
innovations that fueled double-digit growth for Titleist golf
clubs
and FootJoy shoes. Our sought-after innovations, lower cost
structure,
global success in golf's pyramid of influence, growth strategies
in
key Asian markets and favorable foreign exchange drove golf
operating
income up double digits."
For the fourth quarter:
-- Net income was $85.4 million ($0.55 per diluted share) versus $11.5
million ($0.08 per diluted share) in the year-ago quarter.
Comparisons were favorably impacted by lower net charges in
the
current year quarter ($0.08 per share) versus the year-ago
quarter
($0.58 per share).
-- Excluding charges and gains in both the current and prior-year
periods, diluted EPS was $0.63, down 5% from $0.66 in the
year-ago
quarter.
-- Net sales were $1.90 billion, up 5%.
On a comparable basis - excluding excise taxes, foreign
exchange
and acquisitions/divestitures - total net sales were up 4% for
the
quarter.
Comparable net sales by business unit were: spirits up 6%; home
&
security up 2%; golf up 10%.
-- Operating income was $157.2 million.
Operating income before charges was $181.0 million.
For the full year 2010:
-- Net income from continuing operations was $487.6 million, or $3.16 per
diluted share, up from $1.60 in 2009.
Comparisons were favorably impacted by a net gain in 2010 of
$0.35
per share, principally due to tax-related items, versus a
net
charge of $0.83 per share in 2009.
-- Diluted EPS before charges/gains was $2.81, up 16% from $2.43 in 2009.
-- Net sales were $7.14 billion, up 7%.
On a comparable basis, net sales for 2010 were up 5%.
Comparable full-year net sales by business unit were: spirits
up
5%; home & security up 6%; golf up 4%.
-- Operating income was $763.9 million.
Operating income before charges was $812.2 million.
-- Free cash flow was $690 million.
-- Return on equity before charges/gains was 8%.
-- Return on invested capital before charges/gains was 6%.
Initiative to Separate Businesses on Track
"While the breadth and balance of Fortune Brands' current
structure have created substantial shareholder value, we see the
potential for even greater value by separating our businesses into
focused companies," Carbonari continued. "Our 2010 results
reinforce our confidence that this is the right time to separate
our three businesses to maximize long-term value for shareholders.
Our proactive strategic initiatives and targeted investments have
strengthened each business, and each business emerged from the
downturn stronger than even we had anticipated. We expect each
business will be equipped to compete and grow on its own with the
management, infrastructure, capital structure and growth and
returns prospects necessary for success.
"The initiative we announced on December 8th to separate our
businesses is on track for completion in the second half of 2011,
subject to final Board approval. We are moving forward with our
intention to become a focused high-return spirits business and to
enact a tax-free spin-off to shareholders of our strong Home &
Security business. We are exploring the sale or spin-off of our
industry-leading golf business."
Well Positioned to Outperform in 2011
"As we look to our performance expectations in 2011, we begin
with assumptions that the global economic recovery will continue to
be gradual and uneven and that the markets for each of our
businesses will grow at a low-single-digit rate. We're determined
to stay on offense in the marketplace, and we're targeting that
each of our businesses will continue to outperform its respective
market," Carbonari said.
-- "Our Spirits business will benefit from our increased investments in
key initiatives, including developing our best market
opportunities,
fueling our innovation pipeline, leveraging our enhanced routes
to
market, and profitably growing our Power Brands and Rising Star
brands.
-- "Results for Home & Security will reflect our many competitive
advantages, including the growing benefit of our new business
wins in
cabinetry, new-product innovations across all categories,
international growth for Moen and Master Lock, and our lean
and
flexible supply chains.
-- "In Golf, we expect to continue outperforming with new product
innovations from Titleist and FootJoy - including the
next-generation
Pro V1 golf ball, Titleist 910 drivers, fairways and hybrids,
the new
DryJoys Tour golf shoes and FootJoy outerwear - as well as
our
international growth initiatives in promising Asian markets.
"While we're on track to complete the proposed separation of our
businesses in the second half of the year, we estimate that diluted
EPS before charges/gains for Fortune Brands would grow at a
high-single-digit to high-teens rate for the full year absent the
separation of our businesses," Carbonari added.
"With respect to quarterly phasing, results for Fortune Brands
will face the most challenging comparisons in the first half of
2011. Specifically, our first-half comparisons will be impacted by:
our very strong Home & Security gains in the first half of
2010, including the substantial pull-forward in sales related to
expiration of the homebuyer tax credit; higher costs for
commodities and investments across our businesses to support new
business wins and new product launches; and the seasonal impact of
the divestiture of Cobra last year. Even with these factors, we
believe our brands are very well positioned to outperform and set
the stage for another year of strong growth," Carbonari
concluded.
The company also announced that it is starting 2011 with a free
cash flow target in the range of $450-525 million. The company is
targeting an earnings-to-free-cash-flow conversion rate of 100% or
more.

RECONCILIATION OF FULL YEAR 2010 EARNINGS GUIDANCE TO GAAP
For the full year, the company targeted diluted EPS Before Charges/Gains to be in the range of $2.60 to $2.90 per share. On a GAAP basis, the company targeted diluted EPS to be in the range of $3.00 to $3.30 per share.
RECONCILIATION OF FULL YEAR 2011 EARNINGS TARGET TO GAAP
For the full year, absent the proposed separation of the Company's three businesses, the Company would target Diluted EPS Before Charges/Gains to grow at a high-single-digit to high-teens percentage rate. On a GAAP basis the Company would target Diluted EPS to be down low-single-digits to up at a high-single-digit percentage rate. The difference between the Company's Non-GAAP EPS target and its GAAP EPS target is predominately due to business separation costs (as defined herein) the Company may incur.
