      ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- H.B. Fuller Company (NYSE: FUL) today reported financial results for the third quarter that ended August 31, 2013.

      (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110215/CG49203LOGO)

      Third Quarter 2013 Highlights Included:

      • Adjusted Gross Profit margin1 improved 150 basis points versus the prior year;
      • Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense down 3 percent versus the prior quarter or 50 basis points as a percentage of net revenue;
      • Adjusted EBITDA margin1 up 200 basis points versus prior year's result and 60 basis points versus prior quarter;
      • EIMEA region EBITDA margin2 10.6 percent versus 6.4 percent in last year's third quarter and on track to achieve 12 percent EBITDA margin target in fourth quarter of this year;
      • Adjusted operating income3 increased 28 percent versus last year's adjusted result1;
      • Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.741 up 40 percent versus last year.

      Third Quarter 2013 Results:
      Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2013 was $27.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, versus net income from continuing operations of $24.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in last year's third quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2013 were $0.741, up 40 percent from the prior year's adjusted result of $0.531. 

      Net revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $514.6 million, up 2.8 percent versus the third quarter of 2012. Higher volume, higher average selling prices and positive foreign currency translation positively impacted net revenue growth by 1.4, 0.1 and 1.3 percentage points, respectively. Organic revenue grew by 1.5 percent year-over-year.

      "Our third quarter results showed strong progress toward our 2015 strategic goals," said Jim Owens, H.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer.  "We got our revenue growth moving in the right direction and managed our margins and discretionary spending to deliver our commitments for operating profit growth.  At the same time we successfully completed major milestones in our European business integration project, keeping us on track to fully deliver the planned financial and strategic benefits from this investment. We have momentum for a strong fourth quarter and to complete another successful, transformational year as part of our current five year plan."  

      Adjusted Gross profit margin1 was up approximately 150 basis points compared to the prior year's result reflecting solid operational improvement as a result of the ongoing business integration project and a generally favorable raw material cost environment. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense was down by over 3 percent, or 50 basis points as a percentage of net revenue versus the prior quarter and also down by 1 percent, or 70 basis points as a percentage of net revenue versus the prior year as the Company actively reduced discretionary spending.

      Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
      At the end of the third quarter of 2013, the Company had cash totaling $160 million and total debt of $493 million. This compares to second quarter 2013 levels of $161 million and $496 million, respectively. Sequentially, net debt was down by approximately $2 million. Capital expenditures were $35 million in the third quarter and $83 million for the year-to-date, with the bulk of this spending related to the Company's ongoing business integration activities. Operating cash flow in the third quarter was $48 million.

      Year-To-Date:
      Net income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2013 was $74.0 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, versus net income from continuing operations of $43.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2012. Adjusted total diluted earnings per share in the first nine months of 2013 were $1.901, up 22 percent from the prior year's first nine months adjusted result of $1.561.

      Net revenue for the first nine months of 2013 was $1,513.4 million, up 10.2 percent versus the first nine months of 2012. Higher volume, higher average selling prices, positive foreign currency translation and acquisitions positively impacted net revenue growth by 0.5, 0.4, 0.5 and 8.8 percentage points, respectively. Organic revenue grew by 0.9 percent year-over-year.

      Business Integration and Special Charges
      The Company has implemented a comprehensive business integration program to deliver synergies related to the acquisition of the Forbo adhesives business and to improve the performance of the EIMEA operating segment. The table below provides an estimate of the expected one-time costs of executing this multi-year project. In addition, the table lists, for each cost element, the costs incurred in the current quarter, for the fiscal year to date and since the project's inception in the fourth quarter of 2011.

      The estimate of cash costs for the project have remained unchanged from the inception of the project.  The estimate of non-cash costs has increased from $6 million to $8 million, reflecting an updated view of the expected fixed asset write-downs associated with the project. 

      Fiscal 2013 Outlook:
      The Company has narrowed earnings guidance for the 2013 fiscal year to a range of $2.60 to $2.65 per diluted share. Earnings for the fourth quarter are expected to be in a range of $0.70 to $0.75 per share.  Guidance is based on adjusted earnings per share, which exclude all special charges related to the business integration project which is ongoing.

      Certain statements in this document may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following: the Company's ability to effectively integrate and operate acquired businesses; political and economic conditions; product demand; competitive products and pricing; costs of and savings from restructuring initiatives; geographic and product mix; availability and price of raw materials; the Company's relationships with its major customers and suppliers; changes in tax laws and tariffs; devaluations and other foreign exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of litigation and environmental matters; the effect of new accounting pronouncements and accounting charges and credits; and similar matters.

      Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a negative impact on the gross profit margin line of the income statement as the result of a review of custom duties owed for the years 2000 – 2008 in Argentina. On a pre-tax basis, this item amounted to $1.1 million ($0.02 per diluted share). First, second and third quarters of 2013 and 2012 exclude special charges associated with two previously announced events: the EIMEA business transformation project and the expenses associated with the Forbo acquisition integration project, which have been combined and are now referred to as the "business integration". Special charges, net amounted to $12.8 million, $10.8 million, $5.3 million, $4.7 million, $32.1 million and $6.5 million on a pre-tax basis ($0.17, $0.16, $0.08, $0.05, $0.52 and $0.14 per diluted share) in Q3 2013, Q2 2013, Q1 2013, Q3 2012, Q2 2012 and Q1 2012, respectively. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a one-time negative impact of the fair value step-up on the inventory acquired with the Forbo business on the gross profit margin line of the income statement. On a pre-tax basis, this "step-up" amounted to $3.3 million dollars ($0.05 per diluted share).
