Second Quarter 2013 Results

  • Company returned approximately $17 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
  • Revenue of $564 million was lower by 10% (9% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) compared to $626 million.

  • Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share were $20 million and $0.20, respectively, compared to $26 million and $0.27 in the prior year, respectively. Reported net income and earnings per diluted share were $17 million and $0.17, respectively, compared to $25 million and $0.26 in the prior year, respectively.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $61 million compared to $68 million. Reported EBITDA was $58 million compared to $67 million.

"Our second quarter results continued to reflect the same challenging market and operating trends that impacted our volume and revenue performance in the first quarter," commented Jerry Fowden, Cott's Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, we continued with our 4 C's approach and announced various SG&A reduction initiatives in line with our low cost philosophy. As part of our capital deployment strategy, we also repurchased approximately $6 million of outstanding shares and approved a quarterly dividend of CAD$0.06. As we look to the second half of the year, we currently expect our top and bottom line performance trends to improve compared to the first half," continued Mr. Fowden.

SECOND QUARTER 2013 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

  • Total filled beverage case volume (excluding concentrate sales) was 212 million cases compared to 240 million cases. The volume decline was due primarily to lower case pack water sales in North America, the general market decline in the North American carbonated soft drink ("CSD") category, increased promotional activity from the national brands in North America, and poor weather in the United Kingdom and Canada.
  • Revenue was lower by 10% (9% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) at $564 million. The revenue decline was due primarily to lower global volumes slightly offset by an increase in average price per case on a global basis.
  • Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 13.6% compared to 14.7%. The gross margin reduction was due primarily to lower global volumes which resulted in unfavorable fixed cost absorption.
  • SG&A expenses were lower by 15% at $42 million compared to $49 million. The decrease in SG&A was due primarily to lower employee-related costs compared to a higher annual incentive accrual in the prior year, lower legal expenses and reduced costs associated with our information technology strategy.
  • Income before income taxes was $20 million compared to $30 million.
  • Income tax expense was $2 million compared to $4 million.
  • Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share were $20 million and $0.20, respectively, compared to $26 million and $0.27 in the prior year, respectively. Reported net income and earnings per diluted share were $17 million and $0.17, respectively, compared to $25 million and $0.26 in the prior year, respectively.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $61 million compared to $68 million. Reported EBITDA was $58 million compared to $67 million.
  • Free cash flow increased 6% to $20 million arising from $34 million of net cash provided by operating activities less $14 million of capital expenditures.

SECOND QUARTER 2013 REPORTING SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • North America filled beverage case volume was 157 million cases compared to 182 million cases and revenue was lower by 12% at $418 million due primarily to lower case pack water sales, the general market decline in the North American CSD category, increased promotional activity from the national brands and poor weather during the quarter, particularly in Canada.
  • United Kingdom / Europe ("U.K.") filled beverage case volume was 50 million cases compared to 52 million cases. Revenue was lower by 3% (flat excluding the impact of foreign exchange) at $128 million. On a currency neutral basis, the U.K. had favorable product mix.
  • Mexico filled beverage case volume was 5 million cases compared to 7 million cases. Revenue was lower by 25% (30% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) at $8 million due primarily to the exiting of low gross margin business.
  • RCI concentrate volume was 67 million cases compared to 72 million cases. Revenue increased 20% to $10 million as a result of business wins and an increase in average price per case.

Share Repurchase Program

We repurchased approximately 700,000 shares at an average price of $7.99 totaling approximately $6 million during the second quarter in accordance with our share repurchase program.

Our share repurchase program is subject to compliance with the annual limits established by the Toronto Stock Exchange, for up to 5% of Cott's outstanding common shares over a 12-month period commencing on May 22, 2013. Cott's common shares may be purchased under the program in open market transactions and privately negotiated repurchases through either a 10b5-1 automatic trading plan or at management's discretion in compliance with regulatory requirements, and given market, cost and other considerations.

There can be no assurance as to the precise number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased under the share repurchase program, or the aggregate dollar amount of the shares actually purchased. Cott may discontinue purchases at any time, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Shares purchased pursuant to the share repurchase program will be cancelled.

Declaration of Dividend Cott has declared a dividend of CAD$0.06 per common share, payable in cash on September 11, 2013 to shareowners of record at the close of business on August 29, 2013.

Cott intends to pay a regular quarterly dividend on its common shares subject to, among other things, the best interests of its shareowners, Cott's results of operations, cash balances and future cash requirements, financial condition, statutory regulations and covenants set forth in Cott's asset-based credit lending facility and indentures governing the Senior Notes due in 2017 and Senior Notes due in 2018, as well as other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time.

Defined Terms Certain defined terms used in this press release include the following. "GAAP" means U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. "Total filled beverage case volume" means 24 eight ounce equivalent servings per case. "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" means GAAP earnings (loss) excluding purchase accounting adjustments, integration expenses, restructuring expenses and asset impairments. "Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share" means Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average outstanding shares. "EBITDA" means GAAP earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. "Adjusted EBITDA" means GAAP earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding purchase accounting adjustments, integration expenses, restructuring expenses and asset impairments. See the accompanying reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures, as well as the "Non-GAAP Measures" paragraph below.

Non-GAAP Measures To supplement its reporting of financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, Cott utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Cott excludes from GAAP revenue the impact of foreign exchange to separate the impact of currency exchange rate changes from Cott's results of operations. Cott utilizes Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to separate the impact of certain items from the underlying business. Because Cott uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of Cott's underlying business performance and the performance of its management. Additionally, Cott supplements its reporting of net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding capital expenditures to present free cash flow, which management believes provides useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, and strengthening the balance sheet. The non-GAAP financial measures described above are in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, Cott's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings announcement reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Safe Harbor Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 conveying management's expectations as to the future based on plans, estimates and projections at the time Cott makes the statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and Cott cautions you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any such forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements related to the declaration of future dividends, the amount of shares that may be repurchased under the share repurchase program, future financial and operating trends and results and related matters. The forward-looking statements are based on assumptions regarding management's current plans and estimates. Management believes these assumptions to be reasonable but there is no assurance that they will prove to be accurate.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in this press release include, among others: Cott's ability to compete successfully; changes in consumer tastes and preferences for existing products and Cott's ability to develop and timely launch new products that appeal to such changing consumer tastes and preferences; a loss of or reduction in business with key customers, particularly Walmart; fluctuations in commodity prices and Cott's ability to pass on increased costs to its customers, and the impact of those increased prices on Cott's volumes; Cott's ability to manage its operations successfully; currency fluctuations that adversely affect the exchange between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling, the Euro, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and other currencies; Cott's ability to maintain favorable arrangements and relationships with its suppliers; the significant amount of Cott's outstanding debt and Cott's ability to meet its obligations under its debt agreements; Cott's ability to maintain compliance with the covenants and conditions under its debt agreements; fluctuations in interest rates; credit rating changes; the impact of global financial events on Cott's financial results; Cott's ability to fully realize the expected cost savings and/or operating efficiencies from its restructuring activities; any disruption to production at Cott's beverage concentrates or other manufacturing facilities; Cott's ability to protect its intellectual property; compliance with product health and safety standards; liability for injury or illness caused by the consumption of contaminated products; liability and damage to Cott's reputation as a result of litigation or legal proceedings; changes in the legal and regulatory environment in which Cott operates; the impact of proposed taxes on soda and other sugary drinks; enforcement of compliance with the Ontario Environmental Protection Act; unseasonably cold or wet weather, which could reduce the demand for Cott's beverages; the impact of national, regional and global events, including those of a political, economic, business and competitive nature; Cott's ability to recruit, retain, and integrate new management; Cott's exposure to intangible asset risk; Cott's ability to renew its collective bargaining agreements on satisfactory terms; disruptions in Cott's information systems; compliance with product health and safety standards; and the volatility of Cott's stock price.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures, including but not limited to risk factors contained in Cott's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other periodic reports filed with the securities commissions. Cott does not undertake to update or revise any of these statements in light of new information or future events, except as expressly required by applicable law.
