Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 1, 2021, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 and related matters. 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 November 2, 2021, the Company will hold an investor conference call to discuss its third quarter results, earnings guidance, market conditions and related matters.

The press release contains the Company (i) Net Debt/Reported Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) ratio; (ii) Adjusted EPS; (iii) Adjusted EBIT; (iv) Adjusted EBIT Margin; (v) EBITDA; (vi) EBITDA Margin; (vii) Adjusted EBITDA; (viii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin; (ix) Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months); and (x) Organic Sales.

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

Company management believes the presentation of Net Debt/Reported 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 this ratio 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 Net Debt/Reported 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), and certain Segment Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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.

Organic Sales is calculated as trade sales excluding sales attributable to acquisitions and divestitures consummated within the last twelve months. Company management believes the presentation of Organic Sales, or change in Organic Sales, is useful to investors, and is used by management, as supplemental information to analyze our underlying sales performance from period to period in our legacy businesses.

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 NOVEMBER 1, 2021

Exhibit 99.1

 

LOGO

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: NOVEMBER 1, 2021

LEGGETT & PLATT REPORTS RECORD 3Q SALES

Carthage, MO, November 1, 2021 ---

 

   

3Q sales were a quarterly record1 $1.32 billion, a 9% increase vs 3Q20

 

   

3Q EBIT was $144 million, down $6 million vs 3Q20 and down $12 million vs 3Q20 adjusted2 EBIT

 

   

3Q EPS was $.71, a decrease of $.08 vs 3Q20 and a decrease of $.11 vs 3Q20 adjusted2 EPS

 

   

Narrowing 2021 guidance: sales of $5.0–$5.1 billion; EPS of $2.86–$2.96; adjusted2 EPS of $2.70–$2.80

Diversified manufacturer Leggett & Platt reported record1 quarterly sales in third quarter of $1.32 billion, a 9% increase versus third quarter last year.

 

   

Organic sales were up 8%

 

   

Volume was down 6%, largely due to supply chain constraints impacting the Bedding and Automotive markets

 

   

Raw material-related selling price increases of 13% and currency benefit of 1% added to sales growth

 

   

Acquisitions, net of divestitures, increased sales 1%

Third quarter EBIT was $144 million, down $6 million or 4% from third quarter 2020 and down $12 million or 8% from third quarter 2020 adjusted2 EBIT. EBIT declined primarily from lower volume partially offset by metal margin expansion in our Steel Rod business.

 

   

3Q 2020 adjustments include $6 million of restructuring-related charges

 

   

EBIT margin was 10.9%, down from 12.4% in the third quarter of 2020 and down from an adjusted2 EBIT margin of 12.9%

Third quarter EPS was $.71, a decrease of $.08 versus third quarter 2020 and a decrease of $.11 versus third quarter 2020 adjusted2 EPS. The decline reflects lower EBIT and a higher tax rate ($.05/share), primarily from retroactive benefits related to certain tax regulations issued in the third quarter of last year.

CEO COMMENTS

Chairman and CEO Karl Glassman commented, “Like many other companies, our teams continue to navigate a myriad of macro market challenges, including supply chain issues related to semiconductor shortages, foam chemical shortages, labor availability, freight challenges, as well as higher costs associated with each of these issues. Despite these headwinds, we delivered record1 quarterly sales and solid operating results in the third quarter.

“Leggett remains well-positioned, both competitively and financially, to capitalize on long-term opportunities in our various end markets. Our enduring long-term fundamentals give us confidence in our ability to continue creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

Please refer to attached tables for Non-GAAP Reconciliations


DEBT, CASH FLOW, AND LIQUIDITY

 

   

Net Debt was 2.41x trailing 12-month adjusted2 EBITDA

 

   

Operating cash flow was $50 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $211 million versus third quarter 2020, primarily from working capital investments in Bedding to rebuild inventory following severe depletion in 2020 and support anticipated growth, as well as from significant inflationary impacts

 

   

Capital expenditures were $27 million

 

   

Total liquidity was $965 million

DIVIDEND

 

   

In August, Leggett & Platt’s Board of Directors declared a $.42 third quarter dividend, two cents higher than last year’s third quarter dividend

 

   

At an annual indicated dividend of $1.68 per share, the yield is 3.6% based upon Friday’s closing stock price of $46.85 per share, one of the higher yields among the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats

2021 GUIDANCE

 

   

Full year 2021 sales and EPS guidance narrowed

 

   

Change primarily reflects higher raw material-related price increases and lower expected volume in Automotive

 

   

Sales are expected to be $5.0–$5.1 billion, +17% to +19% versus 2020

 

   

Volume expected to grow mid-single digits

 

   

Raw material-related price increases expected to add significant sales growth

 

   

Acquisitions, net of divestitures, expected to add 1%

 

   

EPS is expected to be $2.86–$2.96

 

   

Reflects higher volume and higher metal margin

 

   

Includes 2Q gain from real estate sale of $0.16 per share

 

   

Adjusted EPS is expected to be $2.70–$2.80

 

   

Based on this guidance framework, EBIT margin should be 11.7%–11.8%; adjusted EBIT margin should be 11.1%–11.2%

 

   

Operating cash flow expected to be approximately $350 million

 

   

Reflects inflationary impacts and planned working capital investments to build and maintain higher inventory levels in our Rod, Wire, and U.S. Spring businesses

 

   

Additional guidance expectations:

 

   

Depreciation and amortization $190 million

 

   

Net interest expense $75 million

 

   

Effective tax rate 23%

 

   

Fully diluted shares 137 million
