Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 28, 2019, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This information is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information shall not be incorporated by reference into any document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On October 29, 2019, the Company will hold an investor conference call to discuss its third quarter results, annual guidance and related matters.

The press release contains the Company’s (i) Total Debt/Leggett Reported Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) ratio; (ii) Total Debt/Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) ratio; (iii) Adjusted EPS; (iv) Adjusted EBIT; (v) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (vi) EBITDA; (vii) EBITDA Margin; (viii) Adjusted EBITDA; (ix) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; (x) Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months); and (xi) Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months).

The press release also contains certain Segment’s (i) Adjusted EBIT; (ii) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (iii) EBITDA; (iv) EBITDA Margin; (v) Adjusted EBITDA; and (vi) Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Finally, the press release contains the Elite Comfort Solutions, Inc. (ECS) EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA.

Company management believes the presentation of Total Debt/Leggett Reported Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) and Total Debt/Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) provides investors a useful way to assess the time it would take the Company to pay off its debt, ignoring various factors including interest and taxes. Management uses these ratios as supplemental information to assess its ability to pay off its incurred debt. Because we may not be able to use our earnings to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the presentation of Total Debt/Leggett Reported Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) and Total Debt/Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) may have material limitations.

Company management believes the presentation of Company Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months), Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months), and certain Segment Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and the ECS EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in that it aids investors’ understanding of underlying operational profitability. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as supplemental information to assess the Company’s operational performance.

The above non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for, or more meaningful than, their GAAP counterparts. For non-GAAP reconciliations, please refer to pages 6 and 7 of the press release.

PRESS RELEASE DATED OCTOBER 28, 2019

Exhibit 99.1

 

LOGO                                    LOGO  

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: OCTOBER 28, 2019

LEGGETT & PLATT REPORTS 3Q RESULTS

Carthage, MO, October 28, 2019 —

 

   

3Q sales grew 14%, to $1.24 billion

 

   

3Q EPS was $.74, an increase of $.07 vs. 3Q18; 3Q adjusted1 EPS of $.76, up $.10 vs 3Q18

 

   

3Q cash flow from operations was a strong $213 million

 

   

2019 EPS guidance raised: EPS of $2.40-$2.55; adjusted EPS of $2.48-$2.63

Diversified manufacturer Leggett & Platt reported third quarter 2019 sales of $1.24 billion, a 14% increase versus third quarter last year.

 

   

Acquisitions added 16% to sales growth (primarily ECS)

 

   

Organic sales were down 2%:

 

   

Volume down 1% (exited business -4%)

 

   

Absent declines from exited business, volume up 3%

 

   

Raw material-related selling price decreases and negative currency impact -1%

Third quarter EBIT was $144 million, up $20 million or 16% from third quarter last year, and adjusted1 EBIT was $148 million, a $24 million increase.

 

   

EBIT benefited from:

 

   

ECS acquisition

 

   

Lower raw material costs

 

   

Improved earnings performance in Furniture Products

 

   

EBIT margin was 11.6% and adjusted1 EBIT margin was 11.9%, up from 11.4% in the third quarter of 2018

Third quarter EPS was $.74. Third quarter adjusted1 EPS was $.76, an increase of $.10 versus third quarter 2018. The increase reflects higher EBIT and a lower tax rate ($.03/share) partially offset by higher interest expense ($.06/share).

Restructuring:

 

   

Third quarter included $4 million (pretax), or $.02 per share, of restructuring-related charges

 

   

$3 million cash and $1 million non-cash

 

   

Full year restructuring-related charges are expected to be approximately $14 million ($.08/share)

 

   

$7 million cash and $7 million non-cash

CEO Comments

President and CEO Karl G. Glassman commented, “Sales grew 14% in the third quarter, primarily from the ECS acquisition. Sales were stronger in Automotive, U.S. Spring, and Work Furniture but this improvement was more than offset by planned lower volume from business exited in Fashion Bed and Home Furniture and weak trade demand in the Industrial Products segment.

Please refer to attached tables for Non-GAAP reconciliations.

 

1 of 7


“Third quarter adjusted1 EBIT increased a notable $24 million over third quarter last year, primarily from the ECS acquisition, lower raw material costs (including LIFO benefit), and improved earnings performance in Furniture Products.

“Our Automotive business grew 8% versus third quarter 2018, exceeding the global market by over 1,000 basis points. This year we should exceed market growth by 600–700 basis points. While we remain confident in continued strong performance, ongoing disruption in the global market makes it difficult to predict our relative performance with precision. Accordingly, we are moving away from our specific goal of exceeding market growth by 1,000 basis points, although we expect to significantly outperform the market over the long term.

“Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced final dumping duties on mattresses imported from China that range from 57% to 1,732%. Notably, approximately 90% of Chinese mattresses are now subject to antidumping duties in excess of 160%. We expect the U.S. International Trade Commission to make a final determination in this matter no later than the first week of December. In our U.S. bedding businesses, we continue to see strong demand. U.S. Spring sales dollars were up 6%. Finished mattress units were up 28% in the third quarter, including ECS’s year-over-year growth.”

Debt and Cash Flow

 

   

Debt was 3.15x trailing 12-month pro forma adjusted1 EBITDA; we expect to be at our target level of debt to trailing 12-months adjusted EBITDA of approximately 2.5x by the end of 2020

 

   

Operating cash flow was $213 million in the third quarter, an increase of $86 million versus third quarter last year

Dividends

 

   

Leggett & Platt’s Board of Directors declared a $.40 third quarter dividend, two cents higher than last year’s third quarter

Stock Repurchases

 

   

Repurchased only .2 million shares at an average price of $40.00; primarily shares surrendered for employee benefit plans

 

   

Issued .4 million shares through employee benefit plans and option exercises

 

   

Shares outstanding at the end of the third quarter were 131.6 million

2019 Guidance

 

   

Full year 2019 sales guidance narrowed, and EPS guidance raised

 

   

Sales are expected to be $4.7-$4.8 billion, an increase of 10-12% versus 2018

 

   

Organic sales are expected to decline -3% to -5%, including -3% from exited business

 

   

Acquisitions should add 15% to sales

 

   

EPS is expected to be $2.40-$2.55, including approximately $.08 per share of restructuring-related costs

 

   

Adjusted EPS is expected to be $2.48-$2.63

 

   

ECS is expected to be neutral to EPS in 2019

 

   

Based on this guidance range, EBIT margin should be 10.7-11.0%; adjusted EBIT margin should be11.0-11.3%

 

   

Operating cash flow should exceed $550 million

 

   

Capital expenditures of approximately $160 million, versus prior guidance of $180 million

 

   

Implied full-year effective tax rate of approximately 22%, versus prior guidance of 24%

 

   

Prior Guidance:

 

   

Sales: $4.7-$4.85 billion

 

2 of 7


   

EPS: $2.30-$2.50; adjusted EPS: $2.40-$2.60

 

   

Implied 4Q Guidance:

 

   

Sales are expected to be $1.1-$1.2 billion

 

   

EPS is expected to be $.57-$.72, including approximately $.02 per share of restructuring-related costs

 

   

Adjusted EPS is expected to be $.59-$.74

LIFO

 

   

In the third quarter of 2019, lower steel costs resulted in a LIFO benefit of $7.6 million (pretax)

 

   

In the third quarter of 2018, increasing steel costs resulted in LIFO expense of $6.0 million (pretax)

SEGMENT RESULTS – Third Quarter 2019 (versus 3Q 2018)

Residential Products

 

   

Total sales grew 41%; acquisitions added 38%

 

   

Organic sales increased 3%

 

   

Volume was up 4%, primarily from continued market share and content gains in U.S. Spring

 

   

Raw material-related price decreases and currency impact reduced sales 1%

 

   

EBIT increased $10 million, with earnings from the ECS acquisition (after $12 million of amortization expense) partially offset by $2 million in restructuring-related charges and other factors

Industrial Products

 

   

Total sales decreased 17%, from weak trade demand for steel rod and wire (-12%) and raw material-related selling price decreases (-5%)

 

   

EBIT decreased $3 million, primarily from lower trade steel rod and wire volume and $1 million in restructuring-related charges, partially offset by an earnout of $2 million related to a prior-year divestiture

Furniture Products

 

   

Total sales were down 8%

 

   

Volume decreased 8%, primarily from our decision to exit Fashion Bed and planned declines in Home Furniture, partially offset by growth in Work Furniture and Adjustable Bed

 

   

Raw material-related selling price increases were offset by a negative currency impact

 

   

EBIT increased $11 million, primarily from improved pricing and lower fixed costs attributable to restructuring activity, partially offset by $1 million in restructuring-related charges

Specialized Products

 

   

Total sales increased 6%

 

   

Volume was up 7%, from growth in Automotive

 

   

Currency impact, net of raw material-related price increases in Hydraulic Cylinders, decreased sales 1%

 

   

EBIT increased $1 million, primarily from higher volume in Automotive partially offset by underperformance at our French Aerospace operation

The non-GAAP adjustments affected various line items on the income statement. Details by quarter: 4Q 2018: $4.4 million COGS, $19.6 million SG&A, $11.9 million other expense, $3.2 million interest expense. 1Q 2019: $2.4 million COGS, $0.9 million SG&A, $3.9 million other expense. 3Q 2019: ($0.9) million COGS, $4.7 million other expense.

8 

4Q 2018 excludes $3.2 million of financing-related charges recognized in interest expense.

9 

Management and investors use this ratio as supplemental information to assess ability to pay off debt. These ratios are calculated differently than the Company’s credit facility covenant ratio.

10 

The Leggett and ECS pro forma adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2019 is presented in the table below. Because the increase in total debt from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 was directly attributable to the ECS acquisition, we believe it is more meaningful to investors to include ECS’s pre-acquisition adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 months ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2019 in the total debt / 12-month adjusted EBITDA calculation.
