"We delivered a solid third quarter earnings performance,
recognizing that we had a record third quarter in 2023," said Beth
Springer, Interim CEO. "Our Cost and Simplicity program continues
to prove effective as evidenced in our improved gross margins.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to our long-term Central to Home
strategy."
Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Financial Results
Net sales were $996 million compared to $1,023 million a year
ago, a decrease of 3%. Organic net sales also decreased 3%.
Gross profit was $317 million compared to $318 million a year
ago. Non-GAAP gross profit of $326 million was in line with the
prior year. Gross margin expanded by 70 basis points to 31.8%. On a
non-GAAP basis, gross margin expanded by 80 basis points to 32.7%
driven by Central's Cost and Simplicity program and moderating
inflation.
Operating income was $116 million compared to $123 million a
year ago, a decrease of 6%. Non-GAAP operating income was $127
million compared to $137 million in the prior year. Operating
margin was 11.6% compared to 12.0% a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis,
operating margin was 12.8% compared to 13.4% in the prior year.
Net interest expense was $10 million compared to $13 million a
year ago.
Net income was $80 million compared to $83 million in the prior
year, a decrease of 4%. Non-GAAP net income was $88 million
compared to $94 million a year ago. Earnings per share were $1.19
compared to $1.25 in the prior year, a decrease of $0.06. Non-GAAP
earnings per share were $1.32 compared to $1.40 a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA was $156 million compared to $166 million a year
ago.
The effective tax rate was 24.0% compared to 24.4% in the prior
year.
Pet Segment Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Results
Net sales for the Pet segment were $508 million compared to $503
million in the prior year, an increase of 1% driven by the recent
TDBBS acquisition and growth in consumable pet products. Organic
net sales decreased 2% excluding the impact of TDBBS.
Pet segment operating income was $83 million compared to $60
million a year ago, an increase of 39%. Operating margin expanded
by 450 basis points to 16.4% compared to 11.9% driven by improved
gross margin. Pet segment adjusted EBITDA was $94 million compared
to $84 million in the prior year.
Garden Segment Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Results
Net sales for the Garden segment were $488 million compared to
$520 million a year ago, a decrease of 6%. Organic net sales
decreased 4% excluding the impact of the sale of the independent
garden channel distribution business.
Garden segment operating income was $63 million compared to $88
million in the prior year, a decrease of 29%. Non-GAAP operating
income was $74 million. Operating margin contracted 410 basis
points to 12.8% compared to 16.9%. On a non-GAAP basis, operating
margin contracted 180 basis points to 15.1% driven by lower sell
through in live plants. Garden segment adjusted EBITDA was $85
million compared to $99 million a year ago.
Liquidity and Debt
The cash balance at the end of the quarter was $570 million
compared to $333 million a year ago driven by earnings and
inventory reduction efforts over the last 12 months.
Cash provided by operations during the quarter was $286 million
compared to $325 million a year ago.
Total debt as of June 29, 2024, and June 24, 2023 was $1.2
billion. The gross leverage ratio, as defined in Central's credit
agreement, at the end of the third quarter was 3.0x compared to
3.1x at the end of the prior year quarter.
Cost and Simplicity Program
Central continues to advance its multi-year Cost and Simplicity
program consisting of a pipeline of projects across procurement,
manufacturing, logistics, portfolio management and administrative
costs to simplify its business and improve efficiency across the
organization.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, Central began winding down
its pottery business.
As a result of Cost and Simplicity projects, Central incurred
$11.1 million of one-time costs largely related to the pottery
exit, including $8.6 million in cost of goods sold and $2.5 million
in selling, general and administrative costs, the majority of which
was non-cash.
Fiscal 2024 Guidance
Central continues to expect fiscal 2024 non-GAAP EPS to be $2.00
or better ($2.50 or better before the February 2024 stock dividend)
despite currently anticipating a one-time charge in the range of
$15-20 million in the fourth quarter. Given the recent significant
decrease in market prices for grass seed, Central determined in
August 2024 it will be necessary to write down the value of its
grass seed inventory.
This outlook reflects uncertain consumer demand and retailer
dynamics and an environment of macroeconomic and geopolitical
volatility. It excludes the impact of any restructuring activities
that may occur during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, including
projects under the Cost and Simplicity program or other one-time
non-recurring charges. Central now expects fiscal 2024 capital
spending to be approximately $60 million.
Conference Call
Central's senior management will hold a conference call today at
4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (1:30 p.m. Pacific Time) to discuss its
fiscal 2024 third quarter results and provide a general business
update. The conference call and related materials can be accessed

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP.
However, to supplement the financial results prepared in accordance
with GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP
net income and diluted net income per share, non-GAAP operating
income, adjusted EBITDA and organic net sales. Management uses
these non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of
specific items (described below) in making financial, operating and
planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. Also,
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be
useful to investors in their assessment of our ongoing operating
performance and provide additional meaningful comparisons between
current results and results in prior operating periods. While
Management believes that non-GAAP measures are useful supplemental
information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our
GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those
GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as income before income tax,
net other expense, net interest expense and depreciation and
amortization and stock-based compensation expense (or operating
income plus depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based
compensation expense). Adjusted EBITDA further excludes one-time
charges related to facility closures. We present adjusted EBITDA
because we believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental
measure in evaluating the cash flows and performance of our
business and provides greater transparency into our results of
operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management to perform
such evaluations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operations, income
from operations or other income statement measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is frequently
used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties
in their evaluation of companies, many of which present adjusted
EBITDA when reporting their results. Other companies may calculate
adjusted EBITDA differently and it may not be comparable.
The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most
directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below.
Non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the
following items:
- Facility closures and business exit: we have excluded the
charges related to our decision to exit the pottery business and
the closure of distribution and manufacturing facilities as they
represent infrequent transactions that impact the comparability
between operating periods. They exclude the impact of the
expenditures related to the Cost and Simplicity program we have
embarked on to improve our future operations. We believe these
exclusions supplement the GAAP information with a measure that may
be useful to investors in assessing the sustainability of our
operating performance.
From time to time in the future, there may be other items that
we may exclude if we believe that doing so is consistent with the
goal of providing useful supplemental information to investors and
management.
- During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we recognized
incremental expense of $11.1 million in the consolidated statement
of operations, from the decision to exit the pottery business, the
closure of a live goods distribution facility in Delaware and the
relocation of our grass seed research facility.
- During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we recognized
incremental expense of $5.3 million in the consolidated statement
of operations, from the closure of a manufacturing facility in
Chico, California and the consolidation of our Southeast
distribution network.
- During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we recognized
incremental expense of $13.9 million in the consolidated statement
of operations, from the closure of a leased manufacturing and
distribution pet bedding facility in Athens, Texas.
