ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tupperware Brands Corporation (NYSE: TUP) today reported fourth quarter 2011 sales and profit, with a sales increase in dollars of 3% and 7% in local currency+.

GAAP net income for the quarter of $86.9 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, compared with 2010 fourth quarter GAAP net income and EPS of $80.7 million and $1.26 per share, respectively.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.50 in the quarter was 12 cents, or 9%, better than 2010 in U.S. dollars, including a negative foreign currency impact of 7 cents.  Excluding the impact of foreign exchange on the comparison, adjusted diluted earnings per share was up 19 cents, or 15%.

For the 53 weeks ended December 31, 2011, the Company reported sales of $2.6 billion, a 12% increase in dollars and 9% in local currency compared with 2010.  For the same period, the Company's GAAP net income of $218 million decreased 3%, and diluted earnings per share of $3.55, was up 2 cents or 1% versus prior year.  Excluding certain adjustment items, diluted earnings per share of $4.45 improved 20% in U.S. dollars compared with 2010, and excluding a favorable 11 cent impact on the comparison from foreign exchange rates, improved 16%.

The Company repurchased 1.6 million shares for $90 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, and in the full year repurchased 7.1 million shares for $426 million.  Since 2007, the Company has repurchased 12.2 million shares for $628 million and can repurchase up to $572 million of shares in 2012 and forward under its current authorization that runs until February 1, 2015.  The Company expects to repurchase $50 million worth of shares in the first quarter of 2012.

Rick Goings, Chairman and CEO, commented, "We are a global portfolio of businesses and continue to see strong results from many of our business units demonstrating the benefits of our business model in various economic and political environments.  It is the flexibility of our business model that enables us to react to changes in these environments.  Our emerging markets** continued to perform well in the fourth quarter.  They grew 16% in local currency and accounted for 58% of our total sales for the quarter.  The established markets were down 3% in the quarter.  We look to 2012 with confidence in the knowledge that the strength of our local management teams around the world, their direct selling expertise and our 2.7 million sales force members will ensure we achieve our growth goals in sales, profitability and cash flow. Our confidence in our future results is further evidenced by our board's decision today to raise our dividend by 20%."

+ Local currency changes are measured by comparing current year results with those of the prior year translated at the current year's foreign exchange rates.

Fourth Quarter Earnings Conference Call

Tupperware Brands will conduct a conference call today, Wednesday, February 1, 2012, at 8:30 am Eastern time.  The conference call will be webcast and accessible, along with a copy of this news release, on www.tupperwarebrands.com.

Tupperware Brands Corporation is a portfolio of global direct selling companies, selling innovative, premium products across multiple brands and categories through an independent sales force of 2.7 million.  Product brands and categories include design-centric preparation, storage and serving solutions for the kitchen and home through the Tupperware brand and beauty and personal care products for consumers through the Armand Dupree, Avroy Shlain, BeautiControl, Fuller Cosmetics, NaturCare, Nutrimetics, and Nuvo brands.

The Company's stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: TUP). Statements contained in this release, which are not historical fact and use predictive words such as "outlook", "expects" or "target" are forward-looking statements.  These statements involve risks and uncertainties which include recruiting and activity of the Company's independent sales forces, the success of new product introductions and promotional programs, governmental approvals of materials for use in food containers and beauty and personal care products, the success of buyers in obtaining financing or attracting tenants for commercial and residential developments, the effects of economic and political conditions generally and foreign exchange risk in particular and other risks detailed in the Company's periodic reports as filed in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

The Company does not intend to update forward-looking information, other than through its quarterly earnings releases, unless it expects diluted earnings per share for the current quarter, excluding adjustment items and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, to be significantly below its previous guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has utilized non-GAAP financial measures in this release, which are provided to assist readers' understanding of the Company's results of operations. The adjustment items, at times, materially impact the comparability of the Company's results of operations. The adjusted information is intended to be indicative of Tupperware Brands' primary operations, and to assist readers in evaluating performance and analyzing trends across periods.

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude gains from the sale of property, plant and equipment and insurance settlements, and re-engineering costs.  Further, while the Company is engaged in a multi-year program to sell land adjacent to its Orlando, Florida headquarters, and also disposes of other excess land and facilities periodically, these activities are not part of the Company's primary business operations.  Additionally, amounts recognized in any given period are not indicative of amounts that may be recognized in any particular future period.   For this reason, these amounts are excluded as indicated.  Further, the Company excludes significant charges related to casualty losses caused by significant weather events, fires or similar circumstances. It also excludes any related gains resulting from the settlement of associated insurance claims. While these types of events can and do recur periodically, they are excluded from indicated financial information due to their distinction from ongoing business operations, inherent volatility and impact on the comparability of earnings across quarters.  Also, the Company periodically records exit costs accounted for using the applicable accounting guidance for exit or disposal cost obligations and other amounts related to rationalizing manufacturing and other restructuring activities, and believes these amounts are similarly volatile and impact the comparability of earnings across quarters.  Therefore, they are also excluded from indicated financial information to provide what the Company believes represents a useful measure for analysis and predictive purposes.  The Company has also excluded in its non-GAAP measures the expense incurred upon the impairment of its floating to fixed interest swaps and the write off of deferred debt costs in connection with the notes it sold and the new revolving credit agreement that it entered into in June 2011.  The Company believes that excluding from indicated financial information costs incurred in connection with a significant change in its capital structure that is of a nature that would be expected to recur infrequently, also provides a useful measure for analysis and predictive purposes.

** Sales force statistics as collected by the Company and, in some cases, provided by distributors and sales force. The Company classifies Established Market Units as those operating in Western Europe, including Scandinavia, the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan and its remaining units as Emerging Market Units.  Active Sales Force is defined as the average number of orders received per ordering cycle in each unit over the course of the quarter, and Total Sales Force is defined as the number of sales force members of the units as of the end of the quarter.
+ Local currency changes are measured by comparing current year results with those of the prior year translated at the current year's foreign exchange rates.
(1) During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company sold its Swissgarde unit in South Africa.  This had a negative 7 percentage point impact on the total sales force size comparison for Europe overall and Europe's emerging markets, and a 2 percentage point negative impact on the year-over-year total sales force size comparison for the whole company and all the emerging markets as a group. Additionally, stricter standards for being included in the total sales force number have been used in 2011 than in 2010 in the Tupperware South Africa business.
(2) Fuller Mexico had a 19 percent total sales force size advantage at the end of the third quarter of 2011 that resulted from aggressive sales force recruiting campaigns in the second and third quarters.  Many of these recruits were less productive than is normally the case, which resulted in a decrease to a 1 percent total sales force size advantage at the end of the fourth quarter and 1 percent less active sellers during the quarter.
(3 ) The lower number of active sellers reflected performance in Argentina, where the order size has increased significantly in line with the Company's strategy to emphasize the sale of housewares products that have higher average price points than beauty and personal care products.  This unit has a much higher proportion of South America's active sellers than sales.
(4) Under a "pay for performance" strategy implemented in Italy, qualification standards under various programs have been raised significantly,
which has resulted in a much smaller but much more productive number of active sellers.
(5) The Company has changed its business model in its Tupperware Japan business over the last couple of years in an effort to attract and motivate a higher proportion of active rather than passive sellers.  As part of this change, it has raised the standards required to be included in the unit's total sales force, and this had a meaningfully negative impact on the number of total sellers beginning during the first quarter of 2011.
(6) There were a lower number of active sellers in BeautiControl as a result of a poor response to promotional activities, as well as the timing of promotional programs.
