Kellogg Company Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results, Reaffirms Earnings Outlook
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. - August 1, 2019 - Kellogg Company (NYSE: K) today announced second-quarter 2019 results and reaffirmed its full-year earnings guidance.
Highlights:
• | Net sales growth led by accelerated, broad-based organic growth. |
• | Completed previously announced divestiture and launched business realignment initiatives. Proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion will be utilized to reduce debt. |
• | As expected, higher input costs and effective tax rate contributed to lower earnings. |
• | Continued progress on strategic priorities, including a second wave of improved innovation, a pack-harmonization in U.S. cereal, momentum in key snacks brands, and further expansion in emerging markets. |
• | Reaffirmed earnings guidance for the full-year 2019 based on improved visibility around the recently closed divestiture and related transition. Updated cash flow guidance to reflect divestiture. |
"This was another quarter in which we progressed solidly against our strategy and our 2019 plan, providing further, tangible evidence that Deploy for Growth is working,” said Steve Cahillane, Kellogg Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered another quarter of net sales growth, featuring more and better innovation, momentum on revitalized snacks brands, better price realization, and continued expansion in emerging markets. We closed on a divestiture that improves our portfolio's focus, growth profile, and profit margins. We took further steps to realign our business and restructure our organization for greater agility and cost efficiency. And we enter the second half with increased confidence that we will finish the year on our guidance."
* All guidance and goals expressed in this press release are on a currency-neutral basis, and adjusted to exclude restructuring charges, mark-to-market adjustments of pensions (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded) and various financial instruments , and other costs impacting comparability. Expected net sales, margins, operating profit, and earnings per share are provided on this non-GAAP, currency-neutral basis only because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company. Please refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section included later in this press release for a further discussion of our use of non-GAAP measures, including quantification of known expected adjustment items.

Second Quarter Consolidated Results
Kellogg’s second quarter 2019 GAAP (or "reported") net sales increased by 3% year on year. The consolidation of Nigerian distributor Multipro (May 2018) more than offset negative currency translation. On an organic basis, net sales increased by more than 2%.
For the first six months, reported net sales increased by more than 3%, driven by the Multipro consolidation, which more than offset negative currency translation. On an organic basis, net sales increased by over 1%, largely due to positive price realization.
Reported operating profit in the second quarter decreased by about 16% versus the year-ago quarter, largely due to restructuring as well as business and portfolio realignment charges mainly related to the recently completed divestiture. On an adjusted basis, operating profit decreased by 5%, owing primarily to higher input costs, as well as adverse currency translation. Excluding currency translation, adjusted operating profit declined by less than 4%.
For the first six months, reported operating profit decreased by 21%, mainly reflecting the business and portfolio realignment charges. On an adjusted basis, operating profit decreased by 6%, principally due to to higher input costs, investments in capabilities, and adverse currency translation. Excluding currency translation, adjusted operating profit declined by approximately 4%.
Reported earnings per share decreased by about 51% from the prior-year quarter, owing to business and portfolio realignment charges, mainly related to the recently completed divestiture as well as higher input costs and lapping year-ago tax benefits. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share declined by about 13%, negatively impacted by the higher input costs and effective tax rate, lower expected returns on pension assets, and higher interest expense related to debt from acquiring additional stakes in our Nigerian investments in May of 2018. On a currency-neutral basis, adjusted earnings per share declined slightly over 12% in the second quarter.
For the first six months, earnings per share decreased approximately 45% on a reported basis, mainly reflecting the business and portfolio realignment charges, and adverse currency translation. Earnings per share were down 16% on an adjusted basis, and down less than 14% on a currency-neutral adjusted basis, owing to the higher input costs and effective tax rate , lower expected returns on pension assets, and higher interest expense related to debt from acquiring additional stakes in our Nigerian investments in May of 2018.

Second Quarter Business Performance
Please refer to the segment tables in the back of this document.
Kellogg Company sustained its improved net sales performance, with a final quarter of acquisition benefit from the May 2018 consolidation of Multipro, and broad-based organic growth. Accelerated organic growth was led by good momentum in several revitalized snacks brands, continued growth in emerging markets, and improved price realization. The Company views this return to organic net sales growth as the most tangible sign that its Deploy For Growth strategy is gaining traction. As expected, profitability in the quarter remained pressured by charges taken to restructure European operations, and to realign the North America business around the recent divestiture of cookies, fruit snacks, pie crusts, and ice cream cones, as well as by rising input costs and the year-on-year impact of mix and costs related to new pack formats. As planned, the Company's operating profit decline moderated in the quarter. The Company's second quarter performance, along with the recent completion of the divestiture, offers improved visibility and confidence in the rest of the year.
Kellogg North America’s net sales in the second quarter increased by 1%, after a slightly negative currency translation impact. Net sales growth in snacks was driven by continued momentum in key brands such as Pringles, Cheez-It, Rice Krispies Treats, Pop-Tarts, and RXBAR. Frozen foods net sales increased, led by innovation and effective commercial programs for MorningStar Farms veggie foods as well as Eggo waffles and french toast. Cereal net sales declined on reduced promotional activity amidst the second and final wave of pack-size harmonization. Kellogg North America's operating profit decreased by 17% on a reported basis, on business realignment charges, higher input costs and lower cereal sales volume. On a currency-neutral adjusted basis, operating profit declined by 6%.
Kellogg Europe recorded a 3% decrease in reported net sales because of substantially adverse currency translation, while net sales grew approximately 2% on a currency-neutral basis. Growth continues to be led by Pringles, and by Russia, more then offsetting modest declines in certain developed markets' cereal and wholesome snacks. Operating profit for the Region was down 58%, due to business realignment charges. On a currency-neutral adjusted basis, operating profit increased by about 2% on higher net sales.
Kellogg Latin America posted a slight increase in reported net sales, as sharply negative currency translation offset underlying growth, with currency-neutral net sales increasing by over 2% year on year. Cereal net sales growth was led by continued consumption growth in Mexico, while snacks growth was driven by biscuits in Brazil and by Pringles in most markets. Reported operating profit declined by 13%, reflecting charges for business and portfolio realignment, as well adverse currency translation. On a currency-neutral adjusted basis, operating profit declined by slightly less than 5%, reflecting higher input costs and investments in capabilities.
Kellogg Asia, Middle East and Africa ("AMEA") reported net sales growth of 23%, partially due to the consolidation of results of Multipro, for which the beginning of May marked the one year anniversary. On an organic basis, net sales growth was approximately 9% year on year, on improved price realization, continued expansion by Multipro, and growth momentum for Pringles across the Region, particularly in emerging markets. Kellogg AMEA recorded a 16% increase in reported operating profit, partially due to the consolidation of Multipro. On a currency-neutral adjusted basis, its operating profit grew 27%.
Kellogg Reaffirms Full-Year Earnings Guidance
Kellogg Company reaffirmed full-year earnings guidance, expressing increased confidence based on its first-half results and enhanced visibility now that it has completed its divestiture of selected cookies, fruit snacks, pie crusts, and ice-cream cones businesses. Specifically:
• | Net sales growth is still expected to be +1-2% year on year on both a currency-neutral and organic basis. |
• | Currency-neutral adjusted operating profit expectations continue to be for a decline in the range of (4)% to (5)%. |
3
• | Currency-neutral adjusted EPS decline is still expected to be (10)% to (11)% year on year. |
• | With the closing of its recent divestiture, the Company provided an update on Cash Flow guidance. Cash flow is now expected to be approximately $0.5 billion for the year. This update from previous, pre-divestiture guidance of $0.9-1.0 billion, reflects estimated cash tax on proceeds from the sale, the absence of the divested businesses cash flow, working capital impacts of assets and liabilities not sold with the businesses, and transaction-related costs. The outlook range for cash flow in the underlying business has not changed. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This filing includes non-GAAP financial measures that we provide to management and investors that exclude certain items that we do not consider part of on-going operations. Items excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are discussed in the "Significant items impacting comparability" section of this filing. Our management team consistently utilizes a combination of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate business results, to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions, including incentive compensation. As a result, we believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team and improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and in their analysis of ongoing operating trends. All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures used include currency-neutral and organic net sales, adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted operating profit, adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted diluted EPS, currency-neutral adjusted gross profit, currency-neutral adjusted gross margin, and cash flow. We determine currency-neutral results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
• | Currency-neutral net sales and organic net sales: We adjust the GAAP financial measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency, resulting in currency-neutral net sales. In addition, we exclude the impact of acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency, resulting in organic net sales. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying net sales performance. By providing these non-GAAP net sales measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of net sales performance for the Company and each of our reportable segments for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives behind net sales growth, pricing realization, and the impact of mix on our business results. These non-GAAP measures are also used to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions. |
• | Adjusted operating profit and diluted EPS: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodities and certain foreign currency contracts, and other costs impacting comparability. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying profitability. By providing these non-GAAP profitability measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's profitability measures for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives intended to improve profitability, as well as to evaluate the impacts of inflationary pressures and decisions to invest in new initiatives within each of our segments. |
• | Currency-neutral adjusted gross profit, gross margin, operating profit, and diluted EPS: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodities and certain foreign currency contracts, other costs impacting comparability, and foreign currency, resulting in currency-neutral adjusted. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying profitability. By providing these non-GAAP profitability measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's profitability measures for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial |
5
measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives intended to improve profitability, as well as to evaluate the impacts of inflationary pressures and decisions to invest in new initiatives within each of our segments.
• | Adjusted effective income tax rate: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodities and certain foreign currency contracts, and other costs impacting comparability. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our pre-tax income and the related tax effect of those items on our adjusted effective income tax rate. By providing this non-GAAP measure, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of the items noted above, for the periods presented. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to monitor the effectiveness of initiatives in place to optimize our global tax rate. |
• | Cash flow: Defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions. Cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases once all of the Company’s business needs and obligations are met. Additionally, certain performance-based compensation includes a component of this non-GAAP measure. |
These measures have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP reporting measures.
Forward-looking guidance for currency-neutral net sales, currency-neutral adjusted operating profit, currency-neutral diluted EPS, and cash flow is included in this press release. Guidance for net sales excludes the impact of foreign currency translation. Guidance for operating profit excludes the impact of costs related to restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), other items that could affect comparability, and foreign currency translation. Guidance for earnings per share excludes the impact of costs related to restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), other items that could affect comparability, and foreign currency translation. We have provided these non-GAAP measures for future guidance for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures.
We are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of mark-to-market adjustments because these impacts are dependent on future changes in market conditions (interest rates, return on assets, and commodity prices) or future decisions to be made by our management team and Board of Directors. Additionally, we are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impacts of Brexit because of uncertainties in outcomes. Similarly, because of volatility in foreign exchange rates and shifts in country mix of our international earnings, we are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of foreign currency translation.
As a result, these impacts are not included in the guidance provided. Therefore, we are unable to provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures used in our guidance without unreasonable effort as certain information necessary to calculate such measure on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company.

Significant items impacting comparability
Mark-to-market accounting for pension plans, commodities and certain foreign currency contracts
We recognize mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans, commodity contracts, and certain foreign currency contracts as incurred. Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur. Changes between contract and market prices for commodities contracts and certain foreign currency contracts result in gains/losses that are recognized in the quarter they occur. We recorded a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit of $35 million and a pre-tax mark-to-market expense of $6 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively. Included within the aforementioned was a pre-tax mark-to-market expense for pension plans of $11 million and $10 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively. We also recorded a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit of $5 million and $44 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Included within the aforementioned was a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit for pension plans of $2 million and $27 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
Project K
Project K continued generating savings used to invest in key strategic areas of focus for the business. We recorded pre-tax charges related to this program of $15 million and $23 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019 respectively. We also recorded pre-tax charges related to this program of $5 million and $25 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
Brexit impacts
With the uncertainty of the United Kingdom (U.K.) exiting the European Union (EU), commonly referred to as Brexit, we have begun preparations to proactively prepare for the potential adverse impacts of Brexit, such as delays at ports of entry and departure. As a result, we incurred pre-tax charges of $3 million and $6 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively.
Business and portfolio realignment
One-time costs related to: pending and prospective divestitures and acquisitions, including the divestiture of our cookies, fruit snacks, pie crusts, and ice-cream cone businesses; reorganizations in support of our Deploy for Growth priorities and a reshaped portfolio; and investments in enhancing capabilities prioritized by our Deploy for Growth strategy. As a result, we incurred pre-tax charges, primarily related to reorganizations, of $83 million and $114 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, respectively.
Acquisitions
In May of 2018, the Company acquired an incremental 1% ownership interest in Multipro, which along with concurrent changes to the shareholders' agreement, resulted in the Company now having a 51% controlling interest in and began consolidating Multipro, a leading distributor of a variety of food products in Nigeria and Ghana. In our AMEA reportable segment, for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2019, the acquisition added $73 million and $271 million, respectively, in net sales that impacted the comparability of our reported results.
Gain on unconsolidated entities, net
In connection with the Multipro business combination, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash gain on the disposition of our previously held equity interest in Multipro of $245 million. Additionally, the Company exercised its call option to acquire a 50% interest in Tolaram Africa Foods, PTE LTD, a holding company with a 49% equity interest in an affiliated food manufacturer, resulting in the Company having a 24.5% interest in the affiliated food manufacturer. In conjunction with the exercise, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash loss of $45 million, which represents an other than temporary excess of cost over fair value of the investment. These amounts were recorded within Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities during the second quarter of 2018.
Foreign currency translation
We evaluate the operating results of our business on a currency-neutral basis. We determine currency-neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.
