WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Central Garden & Pet Company (NASDAQ: CENT, CENTA) (“Central”), a market leader in the Garden and Pet industries, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2021 second quarter ended March 27, 2021.

“We delivered the fifth consecutive quarter of record financial results reflecting solid execution, continued strong demand in Pet and Garden and the tireless support of our employees,” said Tim Cofer, CEO of Central Garden & Pet. “We are making further strides against our Central to Home strategy and are pleased with our recent acquisitions. We remain confident about our future and given our strong organic performance in the first half; we are raising our outlook for fiscal 2021.”

Fiscal 2021 Second Quarter Financial Results

Total net sales increased 33% to $935 million compared to $703 million a year ago, driven largely by organic growth in both segments as well as by the recent acquisitions which contributed $76 million to the quarter. Organic sales increased 23%.

Gross margin decreased 40 basis points to 29.1% driven by the impact of initial purchase accounting adjustments related to recent acquisitions, as well as cost inflation in areas such as commodities, labor and freight.

Operating income increased 58% to $105 million from $66 million a year ago. Operating margin increased 180 basis points to 11.2% compared to 9.4% in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by operating efficiencies. EBITDA increased 56% to $123 million from $79 million a year ago.

Net interest expense was $10 million compared to $9 million a year ago, mainly due to higher debt outstanding.

The Company's net income increased 71% to $73 million from $43 million a year ago. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter grew 69% to $1.32 from $0.78 in the prior year quarter, driven by organic strength and $0.07 accretion from recent acquisitions.

Garden Segment Fiscal 2021 Second Quarter Results

Net sales for the Garden segment increased 49% to $443 million driven by organic growth of 23%, with notable strength in distribution, fertilizers and controls, wild bird feed, and grass seed, as well as $76 million contribution from acquisitions.

Garden segment operating income increased 53% to $66 million and operating margin rose 40 basis points to 14.9%. Garden segment EBITDA increased 63% to $75 million from $46 million in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by volume strength and operating leverage as well as contributions from recent acquisitions.

Pet Segment Fiscal 2021 Second Quarter Results

Net sales for the Pet segment increased 21% to $492 million driven by strong growth across the segment, with significant contributions from small animal supplies, distribution, dog and cat as well as outdoor pillows and cushions.

Pet segment operating income increased 43% to $62 million, and operating margin grew 190 basis points to 12.6%. Pet segment EBITDA increased 34.7% to $71 million from $53 million a year ago, largely driven by stronger sales volume and favorable product mix as well as overhead efficiencies.

Additional Information

The Company's cash balance at the end of the quarter was $40 million compared to $332 million a year ago. The Company used approximately $653 million of its cash and additional funds from its ABL to pay for the acquisition of Hopewell Nursery and Green Garden Products. Cash used by operations during the quarter was $84 million compared to cash used by operations of $75 million a year ago. The increase was driven primarily by working capital requirements.

Total debt as of March 27, 2021 was $979 million compared to $694 million at March 28, 2020. The Company's leverage ratio at the end of the second quarter, as defined in the Company's credit agreement, was 2.5x compared to 2.9x at the end of the prior year quarter.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 22.7%, in line with the prior year quarter.

2021 Guidance

Given strong year-to-date results, the Company has updated it's fiscal year outlook and now expects fiscal 2021 GAAP EPS to be at or above $2.25. This guidance compares to the Company's previous guidance of 2021 GAAP EPS of $1.90 or higher. The revised outlook includes the benefit of strong performance in the first half of fiscal 2021, the Company's anticipated investments in capacity expansion, brand building and eCommerce to drive sustainable growth, increasing costs for key commodities, labor and freight, resuming more normal levels of promotional activity, as well as second-half headwinds associated with lapping almost ideal weather for the gardening season and the COVID-19 tailwinds in fiscal 2020. The revised outlook does not include the impact of recent acquisitions, as purchase accounting has not yet been finalized. However, early estimates indicate that the net impact of the acquisitions will be accretive to fiscal 2021 EPS in the range of $0.11 to $0.16.

The Company will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (1:30 p.m. Pacific Time) to discuss its second quarter fiscal 2021 results. The conference call and related materials can be accessed on the Company's website 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 and depreciation and amortization (or operating income plus depreciation and amortization 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 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 in interest expense. These amounts are included in Interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

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.
