Fortune Brands Reports Second Quarter Results

Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE: FO):

• Sales Rise 5% and Earnings Meet Company Expectations
• Beam Sales Increase 11% to a Record on Broad-Based Global Share Gains
• Home & Security Continues to Outperform Market

Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE: FO) today reported results for the second quarter of 2011.

• Net sales from continuing operations, which excludes the recently divested golf business, were $1.59 billion, up 5%.
• Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.65, and diluted EPS before charges/gains was $0.71 versus $0.74 in the year-ago quarter.
• Including results from the divested golf unit, sales would have been $1.99 billion and diluted EPS before charges/gains would have been $0.93 for the quarter.

"As we approach the planned separation of our two remaining businesses, both Beam and Home & Security are outperforming their markets and will be ready to hit the ground running on Day One as independent companies,” said Bruce Carbonari, chairman and chief executive officer of Fortune Brands. "As expected, EPS before charges/gains for the second quarter was modestly lower due to the challenging comparisons we highlighted three months ago: the 10-15 cents per share benefit to the year-ago quarter primarily from the mid-2010 expiration of the U.S. homebuyer tax credit; higher year-over-year costs for raw materials and transportation; and the impact in the current-year period of our double-digit increase in strategic spend to support profitable long-term growth.

"Beam achieved record second quarter sales with gains across its three geographic regions,” Carbonari said. "Notably, our investments in innovation and brand building are paying off in profitable share gains, and we’re further stepping up our brand investment as a result. The Jim Beam brand accelerated its momentum in the quarter, Maker’s Mark continued its double-digit growth, and our distribution muscle is fueling explosive growth for the Skinnygirl cocktails brand we acquired in March. In fact, Skinnygirl has already become the fastest-growing spirits brand in America, and we’re planning to build on its success with innovations like the new Skinnygirl Sangria. Spirits operating income growth trailed top-line growth, as anticipated, due principally to our strong double-digit increase in brand investment and the startup costs associated with new product launches.”

"In a home products market that was softer than we originally anticipated, Fortune Brands Home & Security continued to outperform on the success of new business wins and strategic investments in growth initiatives,” Carbonari continued. "Against challenging comparisons, Home & Security grew sales and gained market share. Solid growth for Moen, strong gains for our cabinetry programs at home centers, and sustained global growth for Master Lock more than offset lower sales of advanced material windows and doors. While higher costs for strategic investments, raw materials and transportation impacted Home & Security operating income, each of the business’s segments was profitable in the quarter.”

For the second quarter of 2011:

• Net income from continuing operations was $102.9 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to $1.17 in the year-ago quarter when results benefited from a substantial gain from one-time items.
  • Comparisons reflected the impact of net charges in the current-year period ($0.06 per share) principally related to the company’s previously announced plan to separate its business units, compared to net gains in the prior-year period ($0.43 per share) principally due to the resolution of routine income tax audits.
• Excluding charges and gains in both the current and prior-year periods, diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.71 versus $0.74 in the year-ago quarter.
• Net sales from continuing operations were $1.59 billion, up 5%.
  • On a comparable basis – excluding excise taxes, foreign exchange and acquisitions/divestitures – and further adjusted for the previously announced new Australia spirits distribution agreement, total net sales would have been up 5%.
  • Comparable net sales by business unit were: Beam up 13% and Fortune Brands Home & Security up one-half percent.
• Operating income from continuing operations was $187.5 million.
• Operating income before charges/gains from continuing operations was $199.5 million.

2011 Outlook for Beam

Assuming completion of the separation plan, Beam and Fortune Brands Home & Security anticipate reporting future results as independent companies. Accordingly, each company has established its own earnings target for 2011.

Beam is targeting adjusted pro forma diluted EPS for 2011 to grow at a high-single-digit rate against a base of $1.92 in 2010. Adjusted pro forma is defined as continuing operations results before charges/gains adjusted to assume that Beam was an independent business as of the beginning of 2010, including the impact of public company corporate expense, the business’s underlying tax rate, and the benefit of the debt reduction associated with the separation plan. It is also adjusted for the one-time startup benefit of the new Australia spirits distribution agreement.

"With momentum on the top line and the EPS benefit of lower interest expense, we’re looking forward to a strong year for Beam on an independent company basis,” said Matt Shattock, president and chief executive officer of Beam Inc. "As a reminder, we expect third quarter results to again reflect our strategy to invest ahead of growth as we’ll boost brand investment by strong double digits to support new product launches and build our core brand equities. We believe our increased 2011 brand investment is priming Beam for profitable long-term growth, and we anticipate brand investment will normalize in the fourth quarter to a relatively constant run rate as a percentage of sales, which will benefit bottom-line comparisons.”

2011 Outlook for Fortune Brands Home & Security

Fortune Brands Home & Security is targeting improved results in the second half of 2011. "As we look forward to the second half of the year, we feel confident in our continued ability to outperform the market as we benefit from new business wins and pricing actions implemented in the first half,” said Chris Klein, president and chief executive officer of Fortune Brands Home & Security. "Even though we see a weaker market in the second half than we originally forecasted, we now estimate the market for our products will be relatively flat year-over-year in the back half, which is still a better market than we saw in the first half.

"Regarding our performance, while the first half was impacted by continued market weakness, higher costs for raw materials and transportation, and the challenging comparison created by the mid-2010 expiration of the homebuyer tax credit, we anticipate Fortune Brands Home & Security will deliver adjusted pro forma diluted EPS before charges that is flat to up low-double digits in the second half versus 41 cents in the second half of 2010,” Klein continued. "As a reminder, third quarter results will compare to the year-ago period in which we recorded a 3-cents per share benefit from favorable resolution of patent litigation involving security products. Factoring in our lower first-half results and improvement in the second half, we anticipate full-year adjusted pro forma diluted EPS before charges will be down at a mid-single-digit to low-double-digit rate versus a base of 73 cents in 2010.”

For Home & Security, adjusted pro forma is defined as continuing operations results before charges/gains, adjusted to assume that Home & Security was an independent business as of the beginning of 2010, including the impact of an initial debt level of approximately $500 million, the 1:1 share distribution contemplated by the spin-off, public company corporate expense, and its independent company tax rate.

Fortune Brands, Inc. (Beam Inc.)

Adjusted Pro Forma Financial Information

The adjusted pro forma income information set forth below is unaudited and has been derived from Fortune Brands, Inc. consolidated financial statements.

The adjusted pro forma information is for informational purposes and is not intended to represent what our operating income and Diluted EPS would have been had the separation transactions occurred on the dates set forth below. The adjusted pro forma information should not be considered indicative of our future results of operations as an independent Spirits company.

Adjusted pro forma is defined as continuing operations results before charges/gains adjusted to assume that Beam Inc. was an independent business as of the beginning of 2010, including the impact of public company corporate expense, the business’s underlying tax rate, and the benefit of the debt reduction associated with the separation plan. It is also adjusted for the one-time startup benefit of the new Australia spirits distribution agreement. More specifically, the adjusted pro forma information gives pro forma effect to the following:

• The sale of the Company’s Golf segment and spin-off of the Company’s Home & Security segment as if both had occurred on January 1, 2010.
• The assumed reduction of $1.7 billion of debt on January 1, 2010 as a result of bonds the company intends to tender and repay principally through the use of after-tax proceeds received from the sale of the Golf segment (approximately $1.1 billion) and a tax free dividend from the Home & Security segment (approximately $0.5 billion). The Company estimates the annualized interest expense reduction resulting from this debt reduction will be approximately $60 million (and includes the impact of the expected settlement of related interest rate swaps). The actual reduction in interest expense may differ and is dependent upon the particular bond issuances that are ultimately tendered and retired. As of June 30, 2011, the annual effective interest rate of the Company’s debt portfolio was approximately 4.75%.
• The elimination of charges/gains associated with (i) restructuring and other charges, (ii) gains/losses on the sales of brands and related assets, (iii) and income tax related credits related to the resolution of foreign and US income tax audit examinations.
• The elimination of non-recurring business separation costs incurred to implement the proposed separation of the Company’s three businesses.
• Adjustments to the Company’s corporate office cost structure that are expected to be made upon completion of the separation transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2010.
• The 2011 impact of the Company’s one-time benefit under the new distribution agreement in Australia.
• An estimated Beam Inc. standalone effective income tax rate of approximately 25 - 26%.

The adjusted pro forma measures are not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes this information provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period were it functioning as an independent spirits company. The adjusted pro forma information may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

RECONCILIATION OF FULL YEAR 2011 EARNINGS TARGET TO GAAP
For the full year, the Company is targeting adjusted pro forma diluted EPS to grow at a high-single-digit rate. On a GAAP basis, the Company is targeting diluted EPS from continuing operations to be down at a double-digit percentage rate. The difference between the Company's adjusted pro forma diluted EPS target and its GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations target is predominately due to business separation costs, expected losses on early retirement of debt, and public company corporate office costs.
Adjusted pro forma diluted EPS is Net Income calculated on a diluted per-share basis adjusted to assume that the Company was an independent business as of the beginning of 2010, including the impact of public company corporate expense, the business's underlying tax rate, the benefit of the debt reduction associated with the separation plan, the one-time startup benefit of the new Australia spirits distribution agreement, income tax-related items and restructuring and other charges.
Adjusted pro forma diluted EPS is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of the company and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

Fortune Brands Home and Security

Adjusted Pro Forma Financial Information

The adjusted pro forma income information of Fortune Brands Home & Security ("FBHS”) set forth below is unaudited and has been derived from Fortune Brands, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements.

The adjusted pro forma information is for informational purposes and is not intended to represent what FBHS’s operating income and Diluted EPS would have been had the spin-off of FBHS from Fortune Brands, Inc. occurred on the date indicated below. The adjusted pro forma information should not be considered indicative of FBHS’s future results of operations as an independent public company.

Adjusted pro forma is defined as continuing operations results before charges/gains, adjusted to assume that Home & Security was an independent business as of the beginning of 2010, including the impact of an initial debt level of approximately $500 million, the 1:1 share distribution contemplated by the spin-off, public company corporate expense, and its independent company tax rate. More specifically, the adjusted pro forma information gives pro forma effect to the following:

• The spin-off of FBHS as if it had occurred on January 1, 2010 including (i) the elimination of all intercompany borrowings with Fortune Brands, (ii) initial bank borrowings by FBHS of $500 million to fund a dividend to Fortune Brands, Inc. immediately prior to the spin-off and (iii) the distribution of FBHS shares to Fortune Brands’ shareholders at a ratio of 1:1.
• Annual FBHS interest cost associated with bank borrowings of approximately $8 million and $6 million in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Annual interest costs are based on the FBHS’s anticipated borrowing agreements that will be in place on the date of the spin-off.
• Estimated incremental costs required to operate and report as an independent public company as if the spin-off had occurred on January 1, 2010.
• The elimination of charges/gains associated with restructuring and other charges attributable to the FBHS business.
• An estimated stand-alone FBHS effective income tax rate of approximately 35%.

The adjusted pro forma measures are not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes this information provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of FBHS from period to period were it functioning as an independent public company. The adjusted pro forma information may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

RECONCILIATION OF EARNINGS TARGETS TO GAAP
For the second half of 2011, Fortune Brands Home & Security ("FBHS") is targeting adjusted pro forma diluted EPS to be flat to up low-double digits. On a GAAP basis, FBHS is targeting diluted EPS to be up at a double-digit rate. The difference between FBHS's adjusted pro forma diluted EPS target and its GAAP diluted EPS target for the second half of 2011 is predominately due the reduction of related party interest expense that is expected to occur in 2011.
For the full year, FBHS is targeting adjusted pro forma diluted EPS to be down at a mid-single-digit to low-double-digit rate. On a GAAP basis, FBHS is targeting diluted EPS to be up at a double-digit rate. The difference between FBHS's adjusted pro forma diluted EPS target and its GAAP diluted EPS target is predominately due to the reduction of related party interest expense that is expected to occur in 2011.
Adjusted pro forma diluted EPS is Net Income calculated on a diluted per-share basis adjusted to assume that FBHS was an independent business as of the beginning of 2010, including the impact of an initial debt level of approximately $500 million, the 1:1 share distribution contemplated by the spin-off, public company corporate expense, and its independent company tax rate.
