ST. PAUL, Minn., June 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE:FUL) today reported financial results for the second quarter that ended May 28, 2016.

Items of Note for the Second Quarter of 2016:

• Volume growth was 15 percent in the Engineering Adhesives segment, above 10 percent in the Asia Pacific segment and positive in our EIMEA segment. Although volume was down in Americas Adhesives year-over-year, trends improved sequentially in the segment while Construction Products volume was down relative to a very strong quarter in the prior year;
• Gross profit margin was 29.7 percent; adjusted gross profit margin was 29.9 percent, an improvement of 170 basis points versus the prior year’s second quarter reflecting effective management of pricing and raw material costs;
• Net income was $33.3 million; adjusted net income was $34.2 million, or $0.67¹ per diluted share, an increase of 6 percent versus the prior year;
• Adjusted EBITDA margin² was 13.9 percent; EIMEA segment adjusted EBITDA² margin was 12.0 percent in the quarter up nearly 500 basis points from the prior year;
• On June 8, 2016, in line with the Company’s strategy, we completed the acquisition of Cyberbond to broaden our global position and accelerate our growth in the high margin, high growth Engineering Adhesives segment.

Second Quarter 2016 Results:
Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $33.3 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, versus income from continuing operations of $26.5 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2016 were $0.67¹, up 6 percent versus the prior year’s adjusted result of $0.63¹. Foreign currency losses were relatively high in the second quarter reducing adjusted EPS by about $0.02 per share relative to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA² was $73.8 million in the second quarter, or 13.9 percent of net revenue.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $532.5 million, down 1.5 percent versus the second quarter of 2015. Higher volume positively impacted net revenue growth by 1.0 percentage point. Lower average selling prices and negative foreign currency translation negatively impacted net revenue growth by 1.4 and 1.1 percentage points, respectively. Constant currency revenue³ decreased by 0.4 percent year-over-year.

During the quarter we continued to improve margins through effective management of pricing and raw material costs as well as driving efficiencies in our supply chain and operations. Gross profit margin increased 220 basis points versus the prior year. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense was up by approximately 3 percent versus last year, and up about 90 basis points as a percentage of net revenue.

”We continued to drive improvements in our business during the second quarter, in line with our strategic plan,” said Jim Owens, H.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer. “Our EBITDA margin, at nearly 14 percent, was in line with our plan and driven by improvements in our two largest business segments – Americas Adhesives and EIMEA. Our high performing Engineering Adhesive segment grew organically by 15 percent, also in line with our strategic plan. Solid volume growth in our EIMEA and Asia Pacific segments, along with improving volume performance in our Americas Adhesives segment, are all indicators of the continued strengthening of our business. We also recently closed two strategic acquisitions which will enhance our returns for investors. We are pleased with the quarter and are on track to deliver our commitments for this fiscal year and the years ahead.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
At the end of the second quarter of 2016, we had cash totaling $146 million and total debt of $722 million. This compares to first quarter 2016 cash and debt levels of $127 million and $723 million, respectively. Sequentially, net debt was down by $20 million. Cash flow from operations was positive $40 million in the second quarter. The solid cash flow result allowed us to fund the acquisition of Advanced Adhesives in Australia and maintain our leverage of 2.7 times debt to EBITDA. Capital expenditures were $12 million in the second quarter.

Year-To-Date Results:
Net income for the first half of 2016 was $52.2 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, versus income from continuing operations of $36.2 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the first half of 2015. Adjusted total diluted earnings per share in the first half of 2016 were $1.09¹, up 18 percent versus the prior year’s result of $0.92¹.  Foreign currency losses were unusually high in the first half of this year, reducing adjusted EPS by about $0.09 per share relative to the same period last year.

Net revenue for the first half of 2016 was $1,006.8 million, down 0.5 percent versus the first half of 2015. Higher volume positively impacted net revenue growth by 3.3 percentage points. Lower average selling prices and negative foreign currency translation negatively impacted net revenue growth by 1.0 and 2.8 percentage points, respectively. Constant currency revenue³ grew by 2.3 percent year-over-year.

Fiscal 2016 Outlook:
We are narrowing our adjusted EPS guidance range to $2.45 to $2.60 for the 2016 year¹. Our previous guidance for 2016 adjusted EPS was $2.40 to $2.60 per share. Constant currency growth is expected to be around 3 percent for 2016 versus the 2015 fiscal year. We expect to generate approximately $290 million of EBITDA in 2016, reflecting a full-year EBITDA margin of about 14 percent. Our core tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, is expected to be about 32 percent. We are on track to invest $60 million in capital items in 2016.

______________________________

¹ Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes the following non-recurring costs listed on the adjusted earnings per share reconciliation table above: special charges related to the “business integration”; restructuring in EIMEA related to operational efficiency improvement projects; and the start-up of a new electronics facility in Yantai China. We have not included a reconcilliation of adjusted EPS to EPS as part of our guidance because the adjustments, if any, are not known at this time. 
² EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined on a consolidated basis as gross profit, less SG&A expense, plus depreciation expense, plus amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA excludes items listed on the adjusted earnings per share reconciliation table above. On a segment basis it is defined as operating income, plus depreciation expense, plus amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. 
³ Constant currency revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as changes in revenue due to price and volume and excludes revenue changes driven by foreign currency translation. The schedule above reconciles each component of net revenue growth. 
⁴ Segment operating income is defined as gross profit less SG&A expense. Segment operating margin is defined as segment operating income divided by net revenue.
