EAGLE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LW) announced today its third quarter
2018 results and updated its outlook for fiscal 2018.
“Our strong top- and bottom-line performance in the third quarter
reflects the benefits of our capital expansion investments, our focus on
delivering industry-leading customer service and our commitment to
operational excellence,” said Tom Werner, President and CEO. “Across
each of our core businesses, we grew volume and improved price/mix to
drive profit growth and expand margins. Our new production line in
Richland, Washington is up and running, providing us with greater
flexibility across our manufacturing network to support further growth,
innovation and limited time offerings for our customers, as well as
allowing us to better manage costs, capacity utilization and service
levels. In Europe, our joint venture delivered another solid quarter by
growing volume and reducing costs. As a result of our strong
year-to-date performance and continued expectation of a favorable
operating environment, we’ve raised our annual outlook for sales growth
and Adjusted EBITDA.”

Q3 2018 Commentary
Net sales were $863.4 million, up 12 percent versus the year-ago period.
Price/mix increased 7 percent due to pricing actions and favorable
product and customer mix. Volume increased 5 percent, with growth in
each operating segment.
Income from operations rose 17 percent to $169.2 million from the prior
year period, and included $1.7 million of costs related to the spinoff
from Conagra Brands, Inc. (formerly ConAgra Foods, Inc., “Conagra”),
compared with $5.1 million of expenses incurred in the prior year period
related to the spinoff from Conagra.
Excluding these comparability items, income from operations grew $20.6
million, or 14 percent, driven by higher gross profit. Gross profit
increased $36.9 million, due to favorable price/mix and volume,
partially offset by packaging, commodity, manufacturing, transportation
and warehousing cost inflation, and higher depreciation expense
primarily associated with the Company’s new french fry production line
in Richland, Washington. The rise in gross profit was partially offset
by a $16.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses, excluding comparability items. The higher SG&A was largely a
result of incremental labor and benefits and infrastructure costs
associated with being a stand-alone company, higher incentive
compensation expense accruals based on operating performance and
increased investments in advertising and promotional support.
Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures(1)
was $237.6 million, up 25 percent versus the prior year quarter,
reflecting growth in income from operations and equity method investment
earnings.
Diluted EPS increased $0.49 to $1.06 from $0.57 in the prior year
period. Approximately $0.31 of the increase relates to the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) enacted in December 2017, and included a $0.16
benefit from discrete items and a $0.15 benefit related to adopting a
lower tax rate. The remaining increase was driven by growth in income
from operations and equity method investment earnings.
Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) increased $0.32 to $0.91 from $0.59
in the prior year period, and includes a $0.15 benefit related to
adopting a lower tax rate as a result of the Tax Act. The remaining
increase was driven by growth in income from operations and equity
method investment earnings.
The effective tax rate(2) was 4.5 percent in the third
quarter of fiscal 2018, versus 33.4 percent in the prior year period.
Compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Tax Act(3)
decreased income tax expense by approximately $47 million. This decrease
includes a provisional $24.0 million net discrete benefit, comprised of
a $38.7 million non-cash benefit from the re-measurement of the
Company’s net U.S. deferred tax liabilities using the new U.S. statutory
tax rate, partially offset by a $14.7 million transition tax on the
Company’s previously untaxed foreign earnings, which is payable over
eight years. In addition, the third quarter decrease in tax expense also
includes an approximate $23 million tax benefit related to the lower
U.S. corporate tax rate, which included approximately $14 million
benefit related to earnings reported in the first half of fiscal 2018
and $9 million related to fiscal third quarter earnings. In the third
quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company’s effective tax rate, excluding
$24.0 million of comparability items arising from the Tax Act, was
18.9%. The Company will continue to refine these amounts within the
measurement period allowed by Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118,
which will not exceed one year from the enactment date of the Tax Act.

Net sales for the Global segment, which is comprised of the top 100
North American based restaurant chain customers as well as the Company’s
international business, increased 15 percent to $448.7 million.
Price/mix increased 9 percent, reflecting price increases as well as
improvement in customer and product mix. Volume increased 6 percent,
driven by the benefit of significant limited time product offerings and
solid growth in sales to strategic customers in the U.S.
Global segment product contribution margin(1) increased 23
percent to $114.8 million, driven by favorable price/mix and volume
growth. The increase was partially offset by packaging, commodity,
manufacturing, transportation and warehousing cost inflation, as well as
higher depreciation expense associated with the new Richland production
line.

Net sales for the Foodservice segment, which services North American
foodservice distributors and restaurant chains outside the top 100 North
American based restaurant chain customers, increased 5 percent to $253.5
million. Price/mix increased 5 percent, as compared to a 10 percent
increase in the prior year quarter, reflecting pricing actions taken in
the current year, the carryover effect of pricing actions taken in
fiscal year 2017, and improvement in customer and product mix. Volume
increased nominally as growth of higher-margin Lamb Weston-branded and
operator-labeled products offset the loss of some lower-margin,
distributor-label product volumes.
Foodservice segment product contribution margin(1) increased
7 percent to $90.0 million, driven by favorable price/mix, partially
offset by packaging, commodity, manufacturing, transportation and
warehousing cost inflation, as well as higher depreciation expense
associated with the new Richland production line.

Net sales for the Retail segment, which includes sales of branded and
private label products to grocery, mass merchant and club customers in
North America, increased 31 percent to $130.2 million. Volume increased
22 percent, primarily driven by distribution gains of Grown in Idaho
and other branded products, as well as the timing of shipments of
private label products. Price/mix increased 9 percent, due to higher
prices across the private label and branded portfolios, as well as
improved mix, partially offset by higher trade investments to support
expanded distribution of Grown in Idaho branded products.
Retail segment product contribution margin(1) increased 32
percent to $30.5 million, mainly due to higher volume and price/mix. The
increase was partially offset by packaging, manufacturing,
transportation and warehousing cost inflation, as well as higher trade
investments and advertising and promotional support behind Grown in
Idahobranded products.
Equity Method Investment Earnings
Equity method investment earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures in
the U.S. and Europe were $26.4 million and $12.7 million for the third
quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. These amounts included a
$2.5 million unrealized gain related to mark-to-market adjustments
associated with currency and commodity hedging contracts in the current
quarter and a $1.4 million loss in the prior year quarter. Excluding
these adjustments, earnings from equity method investments increased
$9.8 million, driven by solid operating results in Europe and the U.S.,
including lower raw potato and production costs in Europe, volume
growth, an approximate $4 million gain related to a divestiture of a
non-core business, and a $2.0 million foreign currency translation
benefit.
Outlook
The Company provides earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis and does not
reconcile guidance to GAAP as the Company cannot predict certain
elements that are included in reported GAAP results, including costs
related to tax reform, the spinoff from Conagra, and other items
impacting comparability.
The Company updated its outlook for fiscal year 2018 as follows:
|
| FY 2018 Outlook Summary |
| | |
| |
| |
Net sales growth rate
| |
Upper End of Mid-Single Digit Range
|
| |
|
|
|
| | | |

|
| |
|
|
|
| | | |
|
| |
Cash used for capital expenditures
| | $270 million-$280 million |
| | | |
|
As summarized in the table above, the Company expects:
-
Net sales to grow at the upper end of the mid-single digit range,
driven by solid price/mix and volume growth. The Company’s previous
estimate was for net sales to grow mid-single digits.
-
Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures(1)
to be in the range of $805 million to $810 million, including higher
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
for fiscal 2018 due to the full-year impact of incremental labor and
benefits and infrastructure costs associated with being a stand-alone
public company, higher incentive compensation expense accruals as a
result of the Company’s operating performance, and higher advertising
and promotional expense in support of the introduction of the
Company’s Grown in Idaho product line in retail. Using the
mid-point of the range, this represents an increase of approximately
17% percent versus a fiscal 2017 pro forma Adjusted EBITDA including
unconsolidated joint ventures(1) of $692 million. The
Company’s previous estimate was for Adjusted EBITDA including
unconsolidated joint ventures(1) to be in the range of $780
million to $790 million.
In addition, the Company expects:
-
Total interest expense for fiscal 2018 to be approximately $110
million, which is an increase of approximately $50 million from fiscal
2017 due to the full-year impact of the Company’s capital structure
after the spinoff from Conagra. The Company’s previous estimate was
for total interest expense to be in the range of $105 million to $110
million.
-
A blended estimated effective tax rate(2) excluding
comparability items of approximately 28 percent, which reflects the
effect of a lower U.S. corporate tax rate as a result of the Tax Act.
The Company’s previous estimate was for an effective tax rate of 33 to
34 percent.
-
Cash used for capital expenditures to be between $270 million and $280
million for fiscal 2018, up from the Company’s previous estimate of
$250 million. The increase of between $20 million and $30 million
reflects the acceleration of spending for the initial phase of
construction of a new 300 million pound french fry production line at
the Company’s Hermiston, Oregon facility that will support customers’
growth in North America as well as Asia. The Company continues to
expect this $250 million production line to be completed during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

(a)

|
Includes a provisional $24.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share,
net discrete benefit, comprised of a $38.7 million benefit from the
estimated impact of remeasuring the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax
liabilities on its balance sheet at a lower tax rate, partially
offset by a $14.7 million transition tax on its previously untaxed
foreign earnings, which is payable over eight years. The Company’s
analysis of these items is not complete. The Company will complete
the accounting for these items during the measurement period allowed
by SAB No. 118, which will not exceed one year from the enactment
date of the Tax Act.
|
| | | |
|
| |
(b)
| |
The Company is required to record the effect of changes in enacted
tax laws or rates in the interim period in which the change occurs.
Accordingly, the Company recorded an approximate $23 million, or
$0.15 per diluted share, benefit from a lower tax rate, in the third
quarter. Approximately $14 million of the benefit is attributable to
the earnings reported in the first half of fiscal 2018.
|
| | | |
|
|
|
Since the Company’s fiscal year-end is the last Sunday in May, the
impact of the lower U.S. corporate income tax rate is phased in,
resulting in a U.S. statutory federal tax rate of approximately 29%
for the fiscal year ending May 27, 2018, and a 21% U.S. statutory
federal rate for fiscal years thereafter. The Company is estimating
an effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, of approximately
28% for the fiscal 2018 full year.

and prospects. These forward-looking statements are based on
management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and
changes in circumstances. Readers of this press release should
understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or
results. Many factors could affect the Company’s actual financial
results and cause them to vary materially from the expectations
contained in the forward-looking statements, including those set forth

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial information included in this press release,
the Company has presented Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted
EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures, pro forma Adjusted
EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures, Adjusted Diluted EPS,
and segment product contribution margin, each of which is considered a
non-GAAP financial measure. The non-GAAP financial measures provided
should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for,
financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") that are
presented in this press release. The non-GAAP financial measures
presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures
presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these
non-GAAP financial measures the same way. These measures are not
substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net
income, diluted earnings per share, cash flow from operations, or other
measures prescribed by GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP
financial measures.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing
the Company's performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business
decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management
believes do not directly reflect the Company's underlying operations.
Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures
provide investors with useful information because they (i) provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by
excluding certain items, (ii) permit investors to view performance using
the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and
strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii)
otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to
investors in evaluating the Company's results. The Company believes that
the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered
together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the
reconciliations to those measures, provides investors with additional
understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's business
than could be obtained absent these disclosures.

On November 9, 2016, Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (“Lamb Weston”)
separated from Conagra Brands, Inc. (formerly ConAgra Foods, Inc.,
“Conagra”) and became an independent publicly-traded company through
the pro rata distribution by Conagra of 100% of the outstanding
common stock of Lamb Weston to Conagra stockholders (the
“Separation”). The combined and consolidated earnings in all periods
prior to November 9, 2016, were carved out of Conagra’s consolidated
financial statements. These financial statements may not reflect
what the Company’s results of operations would have been had it
operated as a separate stand-alone public company and may not be
indicative of its future results of operations. These financial
statements should be read together with the consolidated financial
statements and notes in the Company’s fiscal 2017 Form 10-K and
fiscal 2018 third quarter Form 10-Q.
|
| |
|
(2)
| |
The thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended February 25, 2018, include
$1.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively, of pre-tax expenses
related to the Separation as discussed in footnote (1) above. The
thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended February 26, 2017, include $5.1
million and $23.8 million, respectively, of Separation-related
expenses. In all periods, the expenses related primarily to
professional fees and other employee-related costs.
|
| |
|
(3)
| |
The Tax Act decreased income tax expense by approximately $47
million. This decrease includes a provisional $24.0 million net
discrete benefit which consists of a $38.7 million non-cash benefit
from the re-measurement of the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax
liabilities using the new U.S. statutory tax rate, partially offset
by a $14.7 million transition tax on the Company’s previously
untaxed foreign earnings, which is payable over eight years. In
addition, the decrease in income tax expense includes an approximate
$23 million tax benefit related to the lower U.S. corporate tax
rate. The Company will continue to refine these amounts within the
measurement period allowed by SAB No.118, which will not exceed one
year from the enactment date of the Tax Act.

Adjusted income from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Management excludes items impacting comparability between periods as
it believes these items are not necessarily reflective of the
ongoing operations of the Company. These non-GAAP measures provide a
means to evaluate the performance of Lamb Weston’s segments and the
Company on an ongoing basis using the same measures that are
frequently used by the Company’s management and assist in providing
a meaningful comparison between periods. Any analysis of non-GAAP
financial measures should be done only in conjunction with results
presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures are not

The Tax Act decreased income tax expense by approximately $47
million. This decrease includes a provisional $24.0 million net
discrete benefit which consists of a $38.7 million non-cash benefit
from the re-measurement of the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax
liabilities using the new U.S. statutory tax rate, partially offset
by a $14.7 million transition tax on the Company’s previously
untaxed foreign earnings, which is payable over eight years. In
addition, the decrease in income tax expense includes an approximate
$23 million tax benefit related to the lower U.S. corporate tax
rate. The Company will continue to refine these amounts within the
measurement period allowed by SAB No.118, which will not exceed one
year from the enactment date of the Tax Act.

Adjusted income from operations, income tax expense, equity method
investment earnings, net income, net income attributable to Lamb
Weston and diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial
measures. Management excludes items impacting comparability between
periods as it believes these items are not necessarily reflective of
the ongoing operations of Lamb Weston. These non-GAAP measures
provide a means to evaluate the performance of Lamb Weston on an
ongoing basis using the same measures that are frequently used by
the Company’s management and assist in providing a meaningful
comparison between periods. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial
measures should be done only in conjunction with results presented
in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures are not intended to
be substitutes for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as
such.

Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures is a
non-GAAP financial measure. Management excludes items impacting
comparability between periods as it believes these items are not
necessarily reflective of the ongoing operations of the Company.

ongoing basis using the same measure frequently used by the
Company’s management and assists in providing a meaningful
comparison between periods. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial
measures should be done only in conjunction with results presented
in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is not intended to be
a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as
such.
