Griffon Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, April 28, 2020 – Griffon Corporation (“Griffon” or the “Company”) (NYSE:GFF) today reported results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Consolidated revenue of $566.4 million increased 3% compared to the prior year quarter revenue of $549.6 million.
Income from continuing operations totaled $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to $6.5 million, or $0.15 per share, in the prior year quarter. Current year results included loss from debt extinguishment of $6.7 million ($5.2 million, net of tax, or $0.12 per share), restructuring charges of $3.1 million ($3.0 million, net of tax, or $0.07 per share), acquisition costs of $3.0 million ($2.3 million, net of tax, or $0.05 per share), and discrete and certain other tax benefits, net, that affect comparability of approximately $1.4 million or $0.03 per share. Prior year quarter results included discrete and certain other tax benefits, net, that affect comparability of $0.1 million or $0.00 per share. Excluding these items, current income from continuing operations would have been $10.1 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to $6.4 million, or $0.15 per share, in the prior year quarter, a 53% increase.
Adjusted EBITDA was $48.0 million, increasing 13% from the prior year quarter of $42.5 million. Unallocated amounts (primarily corporate overhead) in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, were $11.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA excluding unallocated amounts totaled $59.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, increasing 12% from the prior year of $53.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, loss from debt extinguishment and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable (“Adjusted EBITDA”, a non-GAAP measure).
Ronald J. Kramer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Griffon has entered the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic from a position of strength on an operational and competitive basis. Our positive momentum, along with enhanced liquidity and a reinforced balance sheet, will enable our businesses to manage the near-term effects of the current environment while continuing to make the necessary investments to execute our strategic growth plan and drive long-term shareholder value."
Segment Operating Results
Consumer and Professional Products ("CPP")
CPP revenue in the current quarter of $274.9 million decreased 4% compared to the prior year period, driven by decreased volume of 7%, primarily due to prior year new product load-ins and the unfavorable impact of COVID-19 in the UK, and an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of 1%, partially offset by favorable price and mix of 2% and incremental revenue from the Apta acquisition of 2%.
CPP Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was $25.0 million, decreasing 13% from the prior year quarter primarily due to the reduced revenue noted above and increased tariffs. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, EBITDA reflects an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of 1%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 9.1% in the current quarter compared to 9.9% in the prior year quarter.

On November 29, 2019, AMES acquired Vatre Group Limited ("Apta"), a leading United Kingdom supplier of innovative garden pottery and associated products sold to leading UK and Ireland garden centers for approximately $10.5 million. This acquisition broadens AMES' product offerings in the market and increases its in-country operational footprint.
Strategic Initiative
In November 2019, Griffon announced the development of a next-generation business platform for CPP to enhance the growth, efficiency, and competitiveness of its U.S. operations.
This initiative includes three key development areas. First, multiple independent information systems will be unified into a single data and analytics platform which will serve the whole CPP U.S. enterprise. Second, certain CPP U.S. operations will be consolidated to optimize facilities footprint and talent. Third, strategic investments in automation and facilities expansion will be made to increase the efficiency of our manufacturing and fulfillment operations, and support e-commerce growth.
The roll-out of the new business platform will occur over approximately a three-year period, with completion expected by the end of calendar 2022. When fully implemented, these actions will result in an annual cash savings of $15 million to $20 million, and a $20 million to $25 million reduction in inventory, both based on operating levels at the beginning of the initiative.
The cost to implement this new business platform, over the three-year duration of the project, will include approximately $35 million of one-time charges and approximately $40 million in capital investments. The one-time charges are comprised of $16 million of cash charges, which includes $12 million of personnel-related costs such as training, severance, and duplicate personnel costs, as well as $4 million of facility and lease exit costs. The remaining $19 million of charges are non-cash and primarily relate to asset write-downs.
In addition to the growth, efficiency and competitive benefits, this initiative is expected to increase our operating margin and free cash flow.
In connection with this initiative, during the six months ended March 31, 2020 CPP incurred pre-tax restructuring and other related exit costs approximating $9.5 million, comprised of cash charges of approximately $4.8 million and non-cash, asset-related charges of $4.7 million; the cash charges included $3.8 million for one-time termination benefits and other personnel-related costs and $1.1 million for facility exit costs.
Home and Building Products ("HBP")
HBP revenue in the current quarter totaling $209.8 million increased 12% from the prior year quarter, due to increased volume of 9% with an additional 3% due to favorable mix and price.
HBP Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was $30.6 million, increasing 52% from the prior year quarter, primarily from the increased revenue noted above including mix, pricing and volume related benefits on absorption, as well as improved operational efficiencies. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.6% in the current quarter compared to 10.8% in the prior year quarter.
Defense Electronics ("DE")
DE revenue in the current quarter totaled $81.6 million, increasing 9% from the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased volume of airborne and maritime surveillance systems.
2
DE Adjusted EBITDA in the current quarter was $4.2 million, decreasing 14% from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by product mix, increased operating expenses associated with the timing of bid and proposal efforts, partially offset by the increased sales volume noted above. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.2% in the current quarter compared to 6.6% in the prior year quarter.
Contract backlog was $332 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $389 million at September 30, 2019, with 73% expected to be fulfilled in the next 12 months. During the year, DE was awarded several new contracts and received incremental funding on existing contracts approximating $90 million, which translates into a 0.9 book-to-bill ratio for the trailing twelve months.
Taxes
The Company reported pretax income for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and recognized tax provisions of 69.4% and 33.0%, respectively. Excluding all items that affect comparability, the effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were 35.9% and 34.0%, respectively. The current year-to-date effective tax rate was 42.1% and the rate excluding all items that affect comparability was 34.4%.
Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures
At March 31, 2020, the Company had cash and equivalents of $69.0 million and total debt outstanding of $1.23 billion, resulting in a net debt position of $1.16 billion. Borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $195.1 million subject to certain loan covenants. Capital expenditures were $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Share Repurchases
As of March 31, 2020, Griffon had $58 million remaining under its Board of Directors authorized repurchase program. There have been no purchases under these authorizations to date in fiscal 2020.
