Item 8.01.

Other Events.

 

As previously reported, on October 20, 2017, H.B. Fuller Company (“H.B. Fuller” or the “Company”) completed the acquisition (the “Royal Adhesives Acquisition”) of Royal Adhesives & Sealants LLC (“Royal Adhesives”).  During the first quarter ended March 3, 2018, H.B. Fuller implemented certain changes to its organizational structure related to the integration of the operations of Royal Adhesives with the Company’s other businesses. This integration resulted in the elimination of one of the Company’s operating segments for financial reporting purposes. In the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 2, 2017, the Company's business was reported in the following six operating segments: Americas Adhesives; Europe, India, Middle East and Africa (EIMEA); Asia Pacific; Construction Products; Engineering Adhesives; and Royal Adhesives. As of the beginning of the quarter ended March 3, 2018, the Company modified its operating segment structure by including portions of the business of Royal Adhesives into each of H.B. Fuller’s previous operating segments.  As a result, H.B. Fuller currently has the following five operating segments: Americas Adhesives; EIMEA; Asia Pacific; Construction Products; and Engineering Adhesives.  

 

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide pro forma historical segment information in accordance with the Company’s new operating segment structure. Exhibit 99.1 hereto provides financial information for the first quarter ended March 4, 2017, the second quarter ended June 3, 2017, the third quarter ended September 2, 2017 and the fourth quarter ended December 2, 2017 for the Company by segment on a pro forma consolidated basis as if Royal Adhesives had been acquired at the beginning of the year ended December 2, 2017.  The changes in the segment structure reflect the manner in which the Royal Adhesives businesses have been integrated into the Company’s historical operating segments. The Company’s new segment structure has no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of total equity and consolidated statements of cash flows previously reported on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

(1) The information presented in the table above regarding adjusted cost of sales, gross profit, operating income, depreciation and amortization expense and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and Adjusted EBITDA margin does not conform to GAAP.  This information should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management has included this non-GAAP information to assist in understanding the operating performance of the Company as well as the comparability of the Company’s financial results. The non-GAAP information provided may not be consistent with the methodologies used by other companies. Non-GAAP depreciation and amortization expense, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are reconciled with reported GAAP results in the tables beginning on page 3 of this Exhibit 99.1.  As noted above, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA excludes costs associated with various activities of the Company including the following: organizational realignment costs to support the 2020 strategic plan as announced in December 2016; restructuring costs in EIMEA related to operational efficiency improvement projects; expenses regarding combining Construction Products facilities in Illinois; Project ONE development costs; integrating and accounting for acquisition expenses; and all transaction-related costs of the Royal Adhesives Acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.  Adjusted cost of sales reflects reported GAAP results, excluding costs associated with various activities of the Company as previously disclosed in each of the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2017, June 29, 2017, September 28, 2017 and January 24, 2018, respectively.  Adjusted gross profit is defined as net revenue less adjusted cost of sales.  Segment operating income is defined as gross profit less selling, general and administrative expenses.  Adjusted segment operating income reflects reported GAAP results, as shown on page 2 of this Exhibit 99.1, including the adjustments made to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA shown in the tables beginning on page 3 of this Exhibit 99.1.
