The J. M. Smucker Company Announces Fiscal 2020 Third Quarter Results
ORRVILLE, Ohio, February 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The J. M. Smucker Company (NYSE: SJM) today announced results for the third quarter ended January 31, 2020, of its 2020 fiscal year. All comparisons are to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year, unless otherwise noted.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•Net sales decreased $39.6 million, or 2 percent, primarily reflecting anticipated declines within the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment.
•Net income per diluted share was $1.64. Adjusted earnings per share was $2.35, an increase of 4 percent.
•Cash from operations was $521.6 million, an increase of 24 percent. Free cash flow was $465.1 million in the quarter, compared to $333.0 million in the prior year.
•The Company reaffirmed its full-year fiscal 2020 net sales, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow outlook.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REMARKS
“Third quarter results were in-line with our expectations, benefiting from continued investment in our strategic growth imperatives and the decisive actions we are taking to improve certain areas of the business. Net sales performance reflected strong growth for the Smucker's^®^ Uncrustables^®^ brand and improved volume fundamentals for our coffee and peanut butter brands, which supported market share and household penetration growth in both categories. This helped partially offset the anticipated decline for our dog food business," said Mark Smucker, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our results in the quarter reinforced our commitment to operate with financial discipline, highlighted by adjusted earnings per share growth of 4 percent, strong free cash flow of $465 million, and net debt repayments exceeding $300 million. As we look forward, we are confident in delivering on our full-year guidance, while positioning the business for consistent long-term growth and shareholder value creation.”

| Three Months Ended January 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | % Increase (Decrease) | ||
| (Dollars and shares in millions, except per share data) | ||||
| Net sales | $1,972.3 | $2,011.9 | (2) | % |
| Operating income | $289.0 | $217.6 | 33 | % |
| Adjusted operating income | 395.8 | 406.2 | (3) | % |
| Net income per common share – assuming dilution | $1.64 | $1.07 | 53 | % |
| Adjusted earnings per share – assuming dilution | 2.35 | 2.26 | 4 | % |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding – assuming dilution | 114.0 | 113.8 | — |
Net Sales
Net sales decreased 2 percent, driven by reduced volume/mix in the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment, primarily driven by dog food. Lower net price realization for the remaining segments was primarily driven by lower net pricing for coffee and peanut butter, which was mostly offset by favorable volume/mix for coffee and the Smucker's^®^ Uncrustables^®^ brand.
Operating Income
Gross profit decreased $13.8 million, or 2 percent, driven by a reduced contribution from volume/mix and the net impact of lower prices in excess of lower costs. Operating income increased $71.4 million, or 33 percent, primarily reflecting a $54.8 million decrease in intangible asset impairment charges, a $15.5 million decrease in other special project costs, and a $14.2 million decrease in selling, distribution, and administrative ("SD&A") expenses, partially offset by the decline in gross profit. The third quarter of 2020 included a noncash impairment charge of $52.4 million related to the Natural Balance^®^ brand within the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment, primarily driven by the market environment and the re-positioning of the brand within the Pet Foods portfolio.
Adjusted gross profit decreased $24.4 million, or 3 percent, with the difference from generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") results being the exclusion of a $10.6 million favorable impact, as compared to the prior year, of unallocated derivative gains and losses. Adjusted operating income decreased $10.4 million, or 3 percent, further reflecting the exclusion of intangible asset impairment charges, other special project costs, and amortization.
Interest Expense, Other Income (Expense), and Income Taxes
Net interest expense decreased $6.5 million, primarily as a result of reduced debt due to net repayments of $700.6 million during the past twelve months.
Net other expense decreased by $7.4 million, primarily due to pension and litigation settlements in the prior year.
The effective income tax rate was 22.7 percent compared to 22.8 percent in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, the adjusted effective income tax rate was 23.1 percent compared to 25.8 percent in the prior year.
Cash Flow and Debt
Cash provided by operating activities was $521.6 million, compared to $421.1 million in the prior year, primarily reflecting a decrease in cash required to fund working capital. The decrease in working capital requirements was primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable due to working capital initiatives. Free cash flow was $465.1 million, compared to $333.0 million in the prior year, reflecting the increase in cash provided by operating activities and a $31.6 million reduction in capital expenditures. Net debt repayments in the quarter totaled $319.7 million.
FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK
The Company reaffirmed its full-year fiscal 2020 net sales, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow guidance as summarized below:
| Net sales increase (decrease) vs prior year | (3) |
|---|---|
| Adjusted earnings per share | 8.10 - 8.30 |
| Free cash flow (in millions) | 850 |
| Capital expenditures (in millions) | 300 - 320 |
| Effective tax rate | 24.0 |
All values are in US Dollars.
Net sales are expected to be down 3 percent compared to the prior year, which includes 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.
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 contribution from sales at a gross profit margin of approximately 38.2 percent, SD&A expenses declining approximately 2.5 percent compared to the prior year, and an effective tax rate of 24.0 percent. Free cash flow is expected to be approximately $850 million.

Segment net sales decreased $37.1 million, reflecting a 5 percentage point reduction due to volume/mix, which was mostly related to the Natural Balance^®^ brand and private label dog food. Net price realization was neutral, as list price increases implemented during the second half of the prior fiscal year were mostly offset by increased trade spend.
Segment profit decreased $1.9 million, as a decline from volume/mix was mostly offset by an $8.1 million recovery from a legal settlement related to a prior year supplier issue, synergy realization, and reduced marketing expense.
U.S. Retail Coffee
| Net <br>Sales | Segment Profit | Segment Profit Margin | |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY20 Q3 Results | $558.8 | $189.5 | 33.9% |

Segment net sales decreased $2.8 million. Net price realization reduced net sales by 5 percentage points, primarily driven by the Folgers^®^ and Dunkin' Donuts^®^ brands, which reflected promotional activity mostly supported by lower green coffee costs. Favorable volume/mix mostly offset lower net pricing, reflecting growth for the Dunkin' Donuts^®^, Café Bustelo^®^, and Folgers^®^ brands.
Segment profit increased $5.8 million, primarily due to the favorable volume/mix and reduced marketing expense, partially offset by the net impact of lower net pricing in excess of lower costs.

|---|---|---|---|
| FY20 Q3 Results | $422.9 | $84.2 | 19.9% |

Segment profit decreased $11.7 million, which included a $7.5 million equipment write-off related to discontinuing Jif^®^ Power Ups^®^, due to a re-prioritization of resources toward initiatives with greater projected returns. Excluding this impact, segment profit decreased $4.2 million, primarily reflecting the net impact of lower pricing in excess of lower costs, partially offset by favorable volume/mix.

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 (as adjusted)”); 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.
