Second-Quarter and Full-Year 2018 Outlook

 

For the second quarter of fiscal 2018, Net sales are anticipated to be in the range of $1,535 million and $1,595 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the range of $235 million and $245 million and Adjusted net income per diluted share(1) in the range of $0.92 and $0.97.  Adjusted net income per diluted share range assumes a fully diluted weighted average share count of approximately 185 million.  At the mid-point of the ranges, our second-quarter 2018 Net sales and Adjusted EBITDA translate into approximately 16 percent growth and 15 percent growth, respectively, versus prior year.  On an organic bases at the mid-point of the range, our second-quarter 2018 Net sales represents approximately 8 percent growth.

 

For the full year fiscal 2018, Net sales are anticipated to be in the range of $5,820 million and $5,940 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the range of $832 million and $862 million and Adjusted net income per diluted share(1) in the range of $3.11 and $3.27.  Adjusted net income per diluted share range assumes a fully diluted weighted average share count of approximately 185 million.

 


(1)  No reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA to Net income or Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted net income per diluted share to Net income per diluted share or Income from Continuing Operations per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 or the full year fiscal 2018 is included in this press release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to Net income as a measure of operating performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income because each is a primary measure used by management to evaluate operating performance. In addition, we present Adjusted net income to measure our overall profitability as we believe it is an important measure of our performance. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income enhances investors’ overall understanding of the financial performance of our business.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is based on “Consolidated EBITDA,” a measure which is defined in our senior credit facilities and used in calculating financial ratios in several material debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income less Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, plus (i) Interest expense and Interest income, net, (ii) Provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to exclude loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash items and certain other adjustments to Consolidated Net Income permitted in calculating Consolidated EBITDA under our senior credit facilities.

 

Adjusted net income is defined as Net income less Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, further adjusted for loss on extinguishment of debt, certain non-cash, non-recurring or unusual items, net of tax.

 

We compensate for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

·                       Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

·                       Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

 

·                       Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

 

·                       Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; and although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often

 

7



 

have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

No reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA to Net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share to Net income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 or full year fiscal 2018 is included in this press release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
