Stanley Black & Decker Reports 2Q 2010 Results

NEW BRITAIN, Conn., Jul 21, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) today announced second quarter 2010 financial results.

2Q Pro Forma Revenues Increased 13% To $2.4 Billion
Excluding One-Time Charges Related Primarily To The Black & Decker Merger, Second Quarter Diluted EPS Was $1.24
This Includes A $36 Million Benefit (+$0.21 EPS Impact) Attributable To Settlement Of Tax Contingencies
Diluted GAAP EPS, Including One-Time Charges, Was $0.28
2Q'10 Free Cash Flow, Excluding One-Time Payments, Was $213 Million
Full Year EPS Guidance, Excluding One-Time Charges, Was Increased To $3.56 - $3.76 ($3.35 - $3.55 Excluding $0.21 Tax-Related Benefit)
Full Year Free Cash Flow Guidance Was Increased

Net sales for the period were $2.4 billion, up 157% versus prior year due to the inclusion of Black & Decker's results (+145%), unit volume (+9%), other acquisitions (+4%) and currency (-1%). On a pro forma basis, legacy Black & Decker also achieved strong unit volume growth (+14%). Both legacy businesses benefitted from supply chain restocking, which accounted for 1/2 to 2/3 of the volume growth, as well as improving underlying demand.

The gross margin rate, excluding one-time charges, was 37.7%. This rate represents improvements within both legacy businesses and reflects a 2Q record for legacy Stanley. The strength was largely driven by sales volume leverage as well as continued execution of successful productivity projects offset partially by modest commodity inflation.

Working capital turns for the company were 5.1. Free cash flow was $213 million during the quarter, excluding $27 million of one-time payments related to the Black & Decker merger.

The 2Q'10 tax rate of 13.4%, which excludes one-time charges, includes approximately $36 million of benefits attributable to favorable settlement of certain tax contingencies related to the resolution of legacy Black & Decker income tax audits. The tax rate for the quarter excluding one-time charges, as well as the tax-related benefit, was 28%.

Stanley Black & Decker's President and CEO, John F. Lundgren commented, "We continue to be encouraged by how well the integration with Black & Decker is progressing and we remain firmly on track with our cost synergy estimate of $350 million, $90 million of which will be recognized in 2010. We are in the early stages of developing plans to capture revenue synergies and are excited about the opportunities we have identified thus far. Although the strength and speed of economic recovery in the developed nations remains unclear, the strategic actions we have taken in recent years, combined with robust new product and acquisition pipelines, have positioned us for exceptional sales and earnings growth both today and for several years to come."

(Excludes One-Time Charges)

	2Q '10						Versus 2Q '09
($ millions)	Segment						Segment
	Sales		Profit		Profit Rate		Sales		Profit		Profit Rate

CDIY	$	1,322	$	207	15.6	%	+308	%	+466	%	+430 Bps

The company has included a pro forma discussion regarding legacy Black & Decker performance in the second quarter of 2010 versus the prior year to aid understanding of the business on a comparable basis reflecting the post-merger segment organization.

Within CDIY, net sales for Hand Tools & Storage grew 5%. Unit volume was up 6% as the Americas and Europe both experienced over 6% growth. Price had a negative 1% impact. The successful launch of a new line of Bostitch branded hand tools aided sales and profits in the quarter. Legacy Black & Decker Power Tools & Accessories sales increased approximately 9% with a 10% increase in unit volume, a 1% increase due to currency and a -2% impact due to price. As with Hand Tools, unit volume gains in Europe outpaced those in the Americas. In Professional Power Tools & Accessories, sales rose in the high teens with over 70% sales growth in the compact cordless lithium ion product line versus prior year. Consumer Products Group sales rose in the mid-single digits, boosted by continued success with the Tradesman line and new products in the outdoor product portfolio. Excluding one-time charges, overall segment profit was 15.6% due to the operating leverage derived from a lower cost structure and productivity projects as profitability increased in all regions of the world.
Net organic sales in Security, excluding the legacy Black & Decker Hardware & Home Improvement business, grew 1% versus prior year. There was a positive 1% impact from pricing and a 9% increase due to Stanley Solutions de Sècuritè, or SSDS, (formerly known as ADT France). Within the Convergent Security business, recurring monthly revenue grew in the mid-single digits while installation volumes were flat versus prior year. Mechanical Access sales volumes were flat as modest growth in builder's hardware and automatic doors was offset by weakness in commercial locking systems. Revenues from the legacy Black & Decker Hardware & Home Improvement segment on a pro forma basis (excluding the Price Pfister business) increased approximately 5% from the prior year driven by unit volume gains attributable partially to successful new product introductions and currency. Segment profit was negatively impacted by approximately 200 basis points due to acquisitions and mild inflation. Excluding acquisitions, the segment profit rate was 17.3%.
Legacy Stanley Industrial sales grew 26%. Unit volume rose 30%, driven by global customer supply chain restocking in many regions as well as increasing global production levels. Unit volume grew 34% in Europe and 20% in the Americas. Currency had a negative 4% impact. On a pro forma basis, the legacy Black & Decker Engineered Fastening business had a strong quarter with sales growth of approximately 45% driven by significantly higher light vehicle production. Unit volume increased 44%, while price had a negative 2% impact and acquisitions added 3%. Overall segment profit, excluding one-time charges, improved versus prior year to 13.9%, attributable to both the inclusion of Engineered Fastening (+310 bps) and operating leverage in the legacy Stanley business.

Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, James M. Loree, commented, "Stanley Black & Decker experienced strong operating profit growth and cash flow in the majority of our businesses and regions throughout the second quarter. These results were, in part, a direct result of our unrelenting commitment to product innovation, customer focus and operational excellence through the Stanley Fulfillment System. I am delighted by the outstanding progress thus far on the Stanley Black & Decker integration and am pleased to report that our respective associates are working well together and are aligned in pursuit of market share gains and profitable growth."

One-Time Charges

A non-cash inventory step-up charge of $118 million along with $6 million of facility closure-related charges were reported in gross margin during the quarter. One-time costs recorded in SG&A and Other, net were $16 million and $12 million, respectively, for integration-related advisory and consulting fees, certain executive / merger-related compensation charges, and deal costs. Merger-related and SSDS restructuring costs, primarily associated with severance of employees, totaled $78 million in 2Q'10.

2010 Outlook

The company is updating its 2010 full year EPS guidance from the prior range of $3.10 - $3.30 to a range of $3.35 - $3.55, which excludes the $0.21 positive 2Q tax-related benefit and the impact of one-time charges.

Free cash flow, excluding one-time charges and payments, is now expected to exceed, as opposed to approximate, $600 million for 2010.

For the second half of 2010, the company is providing the following key factors associated with its 2010 EPS guidance range:

The company believes 2H'10 net organic sales, excluding currency, will increase between 4% - 5% from 2009 pro forma company levels. The increased full year 2010 EPS guidance is primarily a reflection of the outperformance within the second quarter driven partially by customer restocking, which is not expected to continue in the second half of the year at the same pace.
Gross margins are expected to be in the range of 37-38% as lower than previously anticipated inflation due to the RMB revaluation essentially offsets the headwinds experienced due to the depreciation of the Euro versus the USD. Commodity inflation, as indicated in April, is likely to be a headwind in the second half of the year.

As a reminder, the company reiterates the following key points relating to 2010 full year guidance that it provided at the end of April:

The SSDS acquisition will contribute approximately $125 to $135 million in net sales and will be modestly dilutive to EPS as the majority of the integration benefits will not occur until early 2011.
Intangible amortization associated with the Black & Decker transaction will approximate $55 million.
Cost synergy realization related to the Stanley Black & Decker merger for 2010 is expected to be approximately $90 million.
The average outstanding shares for 2010 will approximate 150 million.
The tax rate is expected to be 26-27% (excluding the 2Q 2010 tax benefit of $36 million).
Restructuring and related charges not associated with the Black & Decker or SSDS transactions will approximate $30-40 million. These actions were commenced or anticipated prior to the Black & Decker merger and are related to legacy Stanley operations.

Including all Black & Decker and SSDS transaction-related one-time charges, as well as the $0.21 positive tax impact from 2Q, the company now expects GAAP EPS to approximate $0.60 to $1.00 in 2010. The following factors affecting one-time charges have not changed significantly since guidance was issued at the end of April:

Restructuring and related costs associated with severance of employees and facility closures of $245 to $295 million.
One-time costs to be recorded in SG&A and Other-net of $120 million (was $100 million) for certain executive compensation charges, investment banking fees and advisory and consulting fees.
A non-cash inventory step-up accounting charge of $170 million.

Donald Allan Jr, Senior Vice President and CFO commented, "While we were encouraged to see strong top and bottom line growth in the second quarter, our belief that the rebound within the end markets we serve will be slow and perhaps bumpy remains unchanged. When you strip out the estimated amount of customer restocking activity that took place in the quarter, end user demand growth appeared to be in the range of 4-5%, which we believe will remain consistent for the remainder of the year. While commodity inflation in the second half of 2010 remains a likely headwind, we are confident in our ability to offset much of this over time with ongoing productivity programs and pricing actions. We are looking forward to realizing the benefits of the cost synergies we have forecasted for the year as they will provide support to our profitability."

Organic sales growth is defined as total sales growth less sales of companies acquired in the past twelve months and less foreign currency impacts. Operating margin is defined as sales less cost of sales less SG&A. Management uses operating margin and its percentage of net sales as key measures to assess the performance of the company as a whole, as well as the related measures at the segment level. The normalized statement of operations and business segment information, as reconciled to GAAP on pages 10-11 and 15-16, is considered relevant to aid analysis of the company's margin and earnings results aside from the material impact of the one-time charges associated with the Black & Decker merger.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company's common stock and business acquisitions, among other items. Normalized cash flow and free cash flow, as reconciled to the associated GAAP measures on pages 13 and 14, are considered meaningful pro forma metrics to aid the understanding of the company's cash flow performance aside from the material impact of the Black & Decker merger-related payments and charges.

¹		One-time charges and payments relate primarily to the Black & Decker merger, including inventory step-up (non-cash), facility closure related charges, certain executive compensation and severance costs, transaction and integration costs.

^{2, 3}		Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important measure of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company's common stock and business acquisitions, among other items. Normalized cash flow and free cash flow, as reconciled above, are considered meaningful pro forma metrics to aid the understanding of the company's cash flow performance aside from the material impact of Black & Decker merger-related payments and charges.

		The change in working capital is comprised of accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable.
