Central Garden & Pet Q1 2022 Financial Results (Graphic: Business Wire)

“We delivered another solid quarter thanks to continued demand for our Pet and Garden brands and the perseverance of our employees,” said Tim Cofer, CEO of Central Garden & Pet. “Our recent acquisitions exceeded our expectations for the quarter, and we remain encouraged by the fundamentals of our organic business in light of the extraordinary growth in the prior year. We are confident in our team's ability to perform as we face the ongoing challenges associated with the pandemic.”

Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Financial Results

Net sales increased 12% to $661 million compared to $592 million a year ago, driven by recent acquisitions, which contributed $70 million to the quarter. Organic sales were in line with the prior year quarter.

Gross margin was 30.0%, an increase of 210 basis points compared to a year ago, driven primarily by pricing and favorable product mix, partially offset by cost inflation in key commodities, freight and labor.

Operating income decreased 3% to $26 million from $27 million a year ago. Operating margin was 4.0% compared to 4.6% in the prior year. The margin decline was largely due to continued inflation and heightened investment spending.

Net interest expense was $14 million compared to $21 million a year ago primarily due to incremental interest expense related to recognizing the impacts of the call premium, unamortized debt issuance cost and double interest on the debt retired during the first quarter a year ago partially offset by higher debt outstanding.

The Company's net income increased 61% to $9 million from $6 million a year ago. Diluted GAAP earnings per share for the quarter was $0.16, an increase of $0.06 compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 16% to $52 million from $45 million a year ago.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 20.7% compared to 19.7% in the prior year quarter.

Garden Segment Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Results

Net sales for the Garden segment increased 45% to $225 million driven by a $70 million contribution from recent acquisitions offsetting a modest decline in organic sales of 0.3%. Strength in wild bird, chemicals & fertilizer as well as live plants was more than offset by declines in garden distribution and grass seed.

Garden segment operating income increased 30% to $6 million driven by the strong performance of recent acquisitions. Operating margin declined 30 basis points to 2.7%, mainly driven by inflationary pressures and heightened investment spending partially offset by contributions from acquisitions and improved pricing. Garden segment adjusted EBITDA increased 115% to $16 million from $7 million in the prior year quarter.

Pet Segment Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Results

Net sales for the Pet segment were $436 million, in line with the prior year with notable contributions from animal health, dog and cat and the Company's pet distribution businesses offset by declines in pet beds and small animal and aquatic supplies.

Pet segment operating income increased 4% to $45 million, and operating margin grew 40 basis points to 10.4%. Pet segment adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $55 million from $53 million a year ago, largely driven by improved pricing and favorable product mix partially offset by inflationary headwinds and heightened investment spending.

Additional Information

The Company's cash balance at the end of the quarter was $296 million compared to $608 million a year ago. Cash used by operations during the quarter was $92 million compared to $36 million a year ago. The increase in cash used by operations was driven primarily by working capital requirements.

Total debt as of December 25, 2021 was $1.2 billion compared to $789 million at December 26, 2020. The Company's leverage ratio1) at the end of the first quarter was 2.9x compared to 2.3x at the end of the prior year quarter. The Company repurchased approximately 153,000 shares or $6.7 million of its stock during the quarter.

Fiscal 2022 Guidance

The Company continues to expect fiscal 2022 GAAP EPS to be $3.10 or better. The outlook takes into account increasing costs for commodities, freight and labor, headwinds associated with a return to more normalized consumer demand patterns following extraordinary demand spanning two fiscal years and resuming more historical levels of promotional activity. This guidance further includes anticipated pricing actions across the Company's portfolio as well as investments in capacity expansion, brand building, consumer insights, innovation and eCommerce to drive sustainable growth. This outlook does not include the impact of acquisitions that may close during fiscal 2022.

The Company's senior management will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (1:30 p.m. Pacific Time) to discuss its first quarter fiscal 2022 results. The conference call and related materials can be accessed at http://ir.central.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). However, to supplement the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA and organic sales. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of specific items (described below) may be useful to investors in their assessment of our ongoing operating performance and provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as income before income tax, net other expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation (or operating income plus depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense). We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the cash flows and performance of our business and provides greater transparency into our results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management to perform such evaluation. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operations, income from operations or other income statement measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently and it may not be comparable.

We have also provided organic net sales, a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of businesses purchased or exited in the prior 12 months, because we believe it permits investors to better understand the performance of our historical business without the impact of recent acquisitions or dispositions.

The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below. We have not provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis due to the potential significant variability and limited visibility of the excluded items. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and other users of our financial statements by allowing for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operating performance. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance, and we believe these measures similarly may be useful to investors in evaluating our financial and operating performance and the trends in our business from management's point of view. While our management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.

Non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:

  • Incremental expenses from note redemption and issuance: we have excluded the impact of the incremental expenses incurred from the note redemption and issuance as they represent an infrequent transaction that occurs in limited circumstances that impacts the comparability between operating periods. We believe the adjustment of these expenses supplements the GAAP information with a measure that may be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
  • Loss on sale of business: we have excluded the impact of the loss on the sale of a business as it represents an infrequent transaction that occurs in limited circumstances that impacts the comparability between operating periods. We believe the adjustment of this loss supplements the GAAP information with a measure that may be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

From time to time in the future, there may be other items that we may exclude if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.

The non-GAAP adjustments reflect the following:

(1)

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due October 2030. We used a portion of the proceeds to redeem all of our outstanding 6.125% senior notes due 2023. As a result of our redemption of the 2023 Notes, we incurred incremental expenses of approximately $10.0 million, comprised of a call premium payment of $6.1 million, overlapping interest expense of approximately $1.4 million and a $2.5 million non-cash charge for the write-off of unamortized financing costs. These amounts are included in Interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(2)

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we recognized a loss of $2.6 million, included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations, from the sale of our Breeder’s Choice business unit after concluding it was not a strategic business for our Pet segment.

Organic Net Sales Reconciliation

We have provided organic net sales, a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of recent acquisitions and dispositions, because we believe it permits investors to better understand the performance of our historical business. We define organic net sales as net sales from our historical business derived by excluding the net sales from businesses acquired or exited in the preceding 12 months. After an acquired business has been part of our consolidated results for 12 months, the change in net sales thereafter is considered part of the increase or decrease in organic net sales.
