Crown Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

Monday, October 19, 2020

YARDLEY, Pa., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCK) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Earnings per share $1.59 versus $1.36 in prior year
  • Adjusted earnings per share $1.96 versus $1.56 in prior year
  • Increase in full year earnings and cash flow guidance
  • Beverage can volumes up 8% over prior year
  • Food can volumes up 9% over prior year
  • Announced intention to initiate dividend beginning Q1 2021
  • Additional beverage can capacity announced in Brazil
  • Top ESG ranking from Sustainalytics
  • Launched Twentyby30 ESG initiative
  • Named top ten globally by WSJ for environmental issues management

Net sales in the third quarter were $3,167 million compared to $3,084 million in the third quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting increased beverage can and food can volumes partially offset by the pass through of lower material costs.

Income from operations was $406 million in the quarter compared to $352 million in the third quarter of 2019. Segment income improved to $461 million in the third quarter compared to $395 million in the prior year third quarter primarily due to higher sales unit volumes.

Commenting on the quarter, Timothy J. Donahue, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The Company performed very well during the quarter, with strong results across our global operations. Despite various challenges posed by the global pandemic, segment income for the quarter increased 17% over the prior year, driven by robust beverage can and food can volumes, strong cost performance in Transit Packaging and exceptional manufacturing performance throughout the organization.

"Global beverage can shipments expanded 8% during the quarter, propelled by double-digit gains across the Western Hemisphere. We believe this accelerating growth demonstrates the increasing preference of both brand owners and consumers for beverage cans, the world's most sustainable and recycled beverage container. Global food can volumes advanced 9%, with notable increases in both Europe, where the harvest conditions and resulting crop yields, while below forecast, were considerably improved compared to the prior year, and North America, where demand has benefitted from more at-home meal preparation during the pandemic.

"I would like to express my appreciation to all of our employees and partners, whose dedication and commitment continue to be instrumental as we navigate through the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. The health and safety of our employees, customers and partners is our highest priority.

"During the quarter, Sustainalytics, a global environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings provider, ranked Crown as the number one low-risk organization of the 48 reviewed companies operating in the metal and glass packaging sector. Within Sustainalytics' total research universe of more than 12,500 companies, Crown placed in the top 1.4% of scores. On October 13, "The Wall Street Journal" named Crown as one of the world's 100 most sustainably managed companies and, notably, the highest rated packaging producer on the list. In addition, the WSJ ranked Crown among the world's top ten companies for environmental issues management - the only U.S.-based company to achieve that distinction.

"To elevate our industry-leading commitment to sustainability, the Company in July debuted Twentyby30, a robust program that outlines twenty measurable ESG goals to be completed by 2030 or sooner. The program identifies five distinct pillars of action - Climate Action, Resource Efficiency, Optimum Circularity, Working Together and Never Compromise - that represent areas of the business in which Crown can create notable impact.

"To meet accelerating demand, the Company continues to implement a number of beverage can capacity expansion projects. It should be noted that all new beverage can capacity has the ability to produce multiple sizes, often termed specialty cans. Early this year, we commenced production on the third line at the Toronto, Ontario facility to meet the increasing requirements of customers. During the second quarter, we completed the conversion of two lines in Seville, Spain from steel to aluminum and in June, we began commercial production on the third line at our Nichols, New York facility. In July, we commenced operations at a new one-line plant in Nong Khae, Thailand. Construction is also underway at our new greenfield facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky, an attractive location to effectively serve a number of diverse customers in the region. The first production line of the plant is targeted to start up during the second quarter of 2021, with the second line targeted for a late third quarter 2021 start up. To meet the expanding requirements of specialty cans in the Pacific Northwest, we will construct a third line in our Olympia, Washington plant which is scheduled to begin production during the third quarter of 2021. As the package mix for beer in Brazil continues to shift toward cans, we will add a second line to our recently constructed facility in Rio Verde. The line is targeted to commence operations during the third quarter of 2021."

Interest expense was $72 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $95 million in 2019 primarily due to a combination of lower outstanding debt and lower interest rates.

Net income attributable to Crown Holdings in the third quarter was $214 million compared to $183 million in the third quarter of 2019. Reported diluted earnings per share were $1.59 in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $1.36 in 2019. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.96 compared to $1.56 in 2019.

A reconciliation from net income and diluted earnings per share to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share is provided below.

Nine Month Results
Net sales for the first nine months of 2020 were $8,613 million compared to $8,874 million in the first nine months of 2019, primarily due to the pass through of lower material costs and $105 million of unfavorable currency translation, partially offset by increased sales unit volumes.

Income from operations was $927 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to $997 million in the first nine months of 2019. Segment income in the first nine months of 2020 was $1,081 million versus $1,096 million in the prior year period. In addition to $18 million of unfavorable currency translation and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Company's operations in 2020, the results for the European Food and the nonreportable segments included unfavorable impacts of $18 million and $16 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2020 versus 2019 arising from the carryover of tinplate costs from the prior year end inventory.

Interest expense was $228 million for the first nine months of 2020 compared to $290 million in 2019 primarily due to lower outstanding debt and lower interest rates.

Net income attributable to Crown Holdings in the first nine months of 2020 was $428 million compared to $423 million in the first nine months of 2019. Reported diluted earnings per share were $3.18 compared to $3.14 in 2019. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $4.43 compared to $4.07 in 2019.

Capital Allocation and Portfolio Review
As part of its ongoing capital allocation review, the Company announced today that it intends to initiate a regular quarterly dividend of at least $0.20 per share beginning with a payment in the first quarter of 2021. The actual amount and timing of any dividend will be provided in future communications after due authorization by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company also anticipates opportunistically repurchasing shares of its common stock during 2021 upon authorization of a share repurchase program by its Board.

The Company's previously announced portfolio review is ongoing and a further update will be provided in due course.

Outlook
The Company currently expects fourth quarter and full year 2020 adjusted diluted earnings to be in the ranges of $1.22 to $1.27 and $5.65 to $5.70 per share, respectively.

The adjusted effective income tax rate for the full year of 2020 is expected to be approximately 26%.

Adjusted free cash flow, as defined below, is currently expected to be approximately $550 million for 2020 with approximately $600 million of capital spending.

The projections above represent management's best estimates at this time. The uncertainty of the impact and duration of the coronavirus pandemic makes it inherently difficult for the Company to estimate the projected performance of its business, particularly over the near term. Please see "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below for further information.

In direct response to the pandemic, the Company has taken specific actions to ensure the safety of its employees. Following the implementation of travel and visitor restrictions in February, Crown continues to update its policies as new information becomes available. The Company has taken increased safety measures in its manufacturing facilities to ensure the safety of its employees and the products they produce. In addition, as many Crown employees as possible are working remotely.

The Company's products are a vital part of the support system to its customers and consumers. In addition to manufacturing containers that provide protection for food and beverages, Crown also produces closures for baby food, aerosol containers for cleaning and sanitizing products and numerous products that provide for the safe and secure transportation of goods in transit.

The Company is working to ensure that its manufacturing facilities around the world remain operational and are equipped with the resources required to meet continually evolving customer demand by delivering high quality products in a safe and timely manner. Crown is actively monitoring and managing supply chain challenges, including coordinating with the Company's suppliers to identify and mitigate potential areas of risk and manage inventories.

Non-GAAP Measures
Segment income, adjusted free cash flow, net leverage ratio, adjusted net income, the adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA are not defined terms under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP measures). Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from operations, net income, diluted earnings per share, effective tax rates, cash flow or leverage ratio data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies.

The Company views segment income as the principal measure of the performance of its operations and adjusted free cash flow and net leverage ratio as the principal measure of its liquidity. The Company considers all of these measures in the allocation of resources. Adjusted free cash flow has certain limitations, however, including that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure. The amount of mandatory versus discretionary expenditures can vary significantly between periods. Reconciliations of estimated adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter and full year of 2020 to estimated diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis are not provided in this release due to the unavailability of estimates of the following, the timing and magnitude of which the Company is unable to reliably forecast without unreasonable efforts, which are excluded from estimated adjusted diluted earnings per share and could have a significant impact on earnings per share on a GAAP basis: gains or losses on the sale of businesses or other assets, restructuring and other costs, asset impairment charges, asbestos-related charges, losses from early extinguishment of debt, pension settlement and curtailment charges, the tax and noncontrolling interest impact of the items above, and the impact of tax law changes or other tax matters. The Company believes that adjusted net income, the adjusted effective tax rate and adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful in evaluating the Company's operations as these measures are adjusted for items that affect comparability between periods. The Company believes that adjusted free cash flow and net leverage ratio provide meaningful measures of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the Company's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt repayments, share repurchases or possible future dividends. Segment income, adjusted free cash flow, net leverage ratio, the adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA are derived from the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows and Consolidated Balance Sheets, as applicable, and reconciliations to segment income, adjusted free cash flow, net leverage ratio, the adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA can be found within this release.

The impact of foreign currency translation represents the difference between actual current year U.S. dollar results and pro forma amounts assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates for translation in both periods. In order to compute the difference, the Company compares actual U.S. dollar results to an amount calculated by multiplying or dividing, as appropriate, the current U.S. dollar results by current year average foreign exchange rates and then multiplying or dividing, as appropriate, those amounts by the applicable prior year average foreign exchange rates.
