February 7, 2022 at 4:09 PM EST

 

CARTHAGE, Mo., Feb. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --

  • 4Q sales were a quarterly record1 $1.333 billion, a 13% increase vs 4Q20
  • 4Q EPS was $.77, a decrease of $.02 vs 4Q20
  • 2021 sales were a record1 $5.073 billion, a 19% increase vs 2020
  • 2021 EPS was a record $2.94 and 2021 adjusted2 EPS was a record $2.78; both increases vs 2020
  • 2021 cash flow from operations was $271 million
  • 2022 guidance: sales of $5.3–$5.6 billion and EPS of $2.70–$3.00

President and CEO Mitch Dolloff commented, "We are pleased to have delivered record1 full year results in 2021 despite a myriad of macro market challenges, including supply chain issues related to semiconductor shortages, foam chemical shortages, labor availability, and transportation challenges, as well as higher costs associated with each of these issues. We also delivered record1 quarterly sales and solid operating results in the fourth quarter. Despite these ongoing challenges, including inflation and a likely shift to tighter monetary policy, we expect continued improvement in 2022 as conditions gradually stabilize and growth continues in our businesses most negatively impacted by the pandemic.

"In addition to record results, Leggett achieved several milestones in 2021. We increased our dividend for the 50th consecutive year, honoring our commitment to return value to our shareholders. We strengthened our balance sheet by extending our debt maturity profile with the issuance of 30-year notes. We completed three small acquisitions that expanded our capabilities in International Bedding, Aerospace, and Work Furniture. Leggett remains well-positioned, both competitively and financially, to capitalize on long-term opportunities in our various end markets. Our enduring fundamentals give us confidence in our ability to continue creating long-term value for our shareholders.

"Finally, I would like to thank our employees for their tremendous contributions in another challenging year. Your collaboration, agility, dedication, and commitment to our values drive our success."

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Fourth quarter 2021 sales a record1 $1.333 billion; increased 13% versus fourth quarter 2020.

  • Organic sales3 were up 11%
    • Volume was down 5% largely due to supply chain constraints impacting the Automotive and Bedding markets, and demand softness in U.S. and European bedding markets later in the quarter
    • Raw material-related selling price increases added 16% to sales growth
  • Acquisitions added 2% to sales

Fourth quarter EBIT was $152 million, down $4 million or 2% from fourth quarter 2020.

  • EBIT declined primarily from lower volume, partially offset by metal margin expansion in our Steel Rod business and pricing discipline
  • EBIT margin was 11.4%, down from 13.2% in the fourth quarter of 2020

Fourth quarter EPS was $.77, a $.02 decrease versus fourth quarter 2020 due to lower EBIT.

FULL YEAR RESULTS

2021 sales a record1 $5.073 billion; increased 19% versus 2020.

  • Organic sales increased 18%

  • EBIT and adjusted2 EBIT increased primarily as a result of increased volume, higher metal margins, and pricing discipline
    • 2021 adjustment was a $28 million gain on the sale of real estate associated with our exited Fashion Bed business
    • 2020 adjustments were: $25 million goodwill impairment charge related to our Hydraulic Cylinders business; an $8 million impairment charge related to a note receivable; $8 million of restructuring-related charges; and a $4 million charge to write off stock associated with a prior year divestiture
    • Maintained approximately $80 million of the approximate $90 million fixed cost savings taken in 2020
  • EBIT margin was 11.7%, up from 9.5% in 2020, and adjusted2 EBIT margin was 11.2%, an increase from 10.6% in 2020

2021 EPS was a record $2.94, an increase of $1.08 versus 2020. Full year adjusted2 EPS was a record $2.78, an increase of $.62, reflecting higher adjusted2 EBIT.

    • Raw material-related selling price increases added 25%

    • Kayfoam acquisition added 2% but was offset by small divestitures
  • EBIT increased $129 million, primarily from higher metal margin, pricing discipline, gain from sale of real estate associated with exited Fashion Bed business ($28 million), and non-recurrence of prior year note impairment ($8 million) and restructuring-related charges ($3 million); increases partially offset by production inefficiencies driven by supply chain constraints, and higher transportation costs
