FOURTH QUARTER 2014 HIGHLIGHTS
- Revenue of
$544 million was higher by 13% compared to$482 million .
- Gross profit was
$72 million compared to$60 million which resulted in gross profit as a percentage of revenue of 13.2% compared to 12.5%.
- Adjusted free cash flow was
$80 million . Reported free cash flow was$4 million .
- Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share were
$34 million and$0.37 , respectively, compared to adjusted net income of$4 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share of$0.04 . Reported net income and earnings per diluted share were$19 million and$0.19 , respectively.
- Consistent with
Cott’s strategic priorities designed to build long-term shareowner value:
- On
December 12, 2014 ,Cott acquired DS Services, which had revenues of approximately$970 million and EBITDA of approximately$170 million for the twelve months endedSeptember 30, 2014 . The acquisition significantly reducedCott’s business concentration in carbonated soft drinks, shelf stable juices and large format retailers while extendingCott’s beverage portfolio into new and growing markets, including water and coffee home and office delivery services and water filtration. The acquisition is expected to create cost synergies as well as portfolio expansion while broadeningCott’s distribution platform by adding DS Services’ national direct-to-consumer distribution network.
Cott’s North America business unit continued to expand its contract manufacturing business, growing contract manufacturing volume by over 110% or 6 million serving equivalent cases during the quarter.
Cott returned approximately$9.3 million to shareowners through the combination of its quarterly dividend of$0.06 per common share (an approximate aggregate payment of$5.6 million ) and the repurchase of 572,000 shares at an average price of$6.52 for approximately$3.7 million under its share repurchase program during the quarter.

FOURTH QUARTER 2014 GLOBAL PERFORMANCE
- Revenue of
$544 million was higher by 13% (14% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) due primarily to the addition of theAimia Foods and DS Services businesses and the inclusion of a 53rd week, partially offset by a mix shift from private label to contract manufacturing. The 53rd week provided additional revenues of$29 million .
- Gross profit increased 19% to
$72 million compared to$60 million , with gross profit as a percentage of revenue at 13.2% compared to 12.5%. The increase in gross profit was driven by the addition of theAimia Foods and DS Services higher margin businesses as well as a 53rd week, offset in part by the competitive pricing environment, and increased costs in ourU.K. /Europe operations as we ended the year holding more inventory with third parties as we implement a new warehouse management system. The 53rd week provided additional gross profit of$3 million .
- Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses excluding
$38 million of acquisition and integration costs were$66 million while prior year SG&A expenses excluding$1 million of acquisition and integration costs were$44 million . The increase in adjusted SG&A expenses above the previously guided amount of$45 to$48 million was due primarily to$15 million in SG&A expenses associated with the addition of the DS Services business and the reclassification of$5.5 million in customer list amortization from cost of goods sold to SG&A. This reclassification has been made for all periods presented.
- Interest expense was
$12.5 million compared to$12.2 million . Interest expense included two weeks of interest associated with additional debt incurred in connection with the DS Services acquisition partially offset by lower interest expense as a result of redeemingCott’s 8.375% senior notes that were due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and the refinancing ofCott’s 8.125% senior notes that were due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”).
- Other income was
$1.9 million compared to other expense of$13.2 million due primarily to costs related to the redemption of our 2017 Notes in the prior year relative to a net unrealized gain on foreign currency in the current year.
- Income tax benefit was approximately
$65 million compared to an income tax benefit of$1 million in the prior year due primarily to the release of a valuation allowance in the quarter, as the DS Services acquisition will allow for the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards that might have otherwise expired.
- Adjusted EBITDA was flat at
$43 million . Adjusted EBITDA included approximately$2 million of adjusted EBITDA associated with the 53rd week. Reported EBITDA was$1 million compared to$28 million .
- Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share were
$34 million and$0.37 , respectively, compared to adjusted net income of$4 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share of$0.04 . Reported net income and earnings per diluted share were$19 million and$0.19 , respectively, compared to reported net loss and loss per diluted share of$11 million and$0.12 , respectively.
- Adjusted free cash flow was
$80 million . Reported free cash flow was$4 million , reflecting$19 million of net cash provided by operating activities less$15 million of capital expenditures.
FOURTH QUARTER 2014 REPORTING SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
North America volume increased 10% in servings as a result of a slightly more rational competitive pricing environment, growth in contract manufacturing and concentrates as well as the addition of a 53rd week. Excluding the 53rd week, volume was higher by 4% in serving equivalent cases. Revenue of$347 million was higher by 2% (3% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) due primarily to an increase in volume partially offset by an overall product mix shift into contract manufacturing. Revenue associated with contract manufacturing typically does not include a charge for ingredients and packaging as the customer provides these commodities, which results in the price per case for contract manufactured products being lower than the price per case for our value brands or private label products.
Cott acquired DS Services onDecember 12, 2014 , and$29 million in DS Services revenue was included in the consolidated financial results as well as approximately$5 million of adjusted EBITDA. Pro Forma fourth quarter DS Services revenue of$240 million was higher by 7% compared to$224 million lead by growth in the home and office water delivery operations, which saw increases in consumption and in customers and also benefited from the new strategic partnership in which DS Services manufactures and delivers bottled water on behalf of Primo Water Corporation.
U.K. volume increased 11% in servings as a result of the addition of theAimia Foods business and a 53rd week. Excluding the 53rd week, volume was higher by 5%. Revenue of$153 million increased 21% (23% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) due primarily to an increase in volume partially offset by a product mix shift in the coreU.K. business and the negative impact of declining foreign exchange rates during the quarter.
- All Other revenue remained flat at
$15 million .Cott’s All Other reporting segment includesCott’s Mexico operating segment,Royal Crown International operating segment and other miscellaneous expenses (prior year information has been updated to reflect this change in reporting segments made in the fourth quarter of 2013).
FISCAL YEAR 2014 GLOBAL PERFORMANCE
- Revenue of
$2,103 million was slightly higher than the prior year (slightly lower when excluding the impact of foreign exchange). Revenue increased as a result of the addition of theAimia Foods and DS Services businesses in 2014, theCalypso Soft Drinks business acquired in 2013, as well as the 53rd week, which was offset by the competitive pricing environment and a product mix shift into contract manufacturing.
- Gross profit was
$277 million compared to$275 million , resulting in gross profit as a percentage of revenue remaining constant at 13.2%. Increases in gross profit were the result of the addition of the Calypso,Aimia Foods and DS Services businesses, which were offset by the competitive pricing environment, additional freight and start up costs associated with the growth and launch of our contract manufacturing business inNorth America , and increased costs in ourU.K. /Europe operations as we ended the year holding more inventory with third parties as we implement a new warehouse management system.
- SG&A expenses excluding over
$41 million of acquisition and integration costs were$214 million while prior year SG&A expenses excluding$3 million of acquisition and integration costs were$180 million . The increase in adjusted SG&A expenses was due primarily to expenses associated with the addition of the Calypso,Aimia Foods and DS Services businesses, lower employee-related incentive costs and the reversal of certain long term incentive accruals in the prior year, and the addition of a 53rd week. SG&A expenses were also affected by the reclassification of$23 million of amortization related to customer lists from cost of goods sold to SG&A expenses. This reclassification has been made for all periods presented.
- Interest expense was lower by 23% at
$40 million compared to$52 million . Interest expense in 2014 included two weeks of interest associated with additional debt incurred in connection with the DS Services acquisition but benefited from the redemption of the 2017 Notes, the refinancing of the 2018 Notes and the prior year amendment of our asset based lending facility to more favorable pricing terms.
- Other expense was
$21 million compared to$13 million . The expense incurred in 2014 was due primarily to the refinancing of the 2018 Notes during the year.
- Income tax benefit was approximately
$61 million compared to income tax expense of$2 million due primarily to the release of a valuation allowance, as the DS Services acquisition will allow for the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards that might have otherwise expired.
- Adjusted EBITDA was
$180 million compared to$198 million . The reduction in Adjusted EBITDA was due primarily to the competitive pricing environment and an increase in SG&A expenses partially offset by the addition of theAimia Foods business at the end of May and the DS Services business in mid December, as well as growth in North American contract manufacturing. Reported EBITDA was$105 million compared to$176 million primarily due to over$66 million of acquisition and refinancing costs incurred in 2014.
- Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share were
$57 million and$0.60 , respectively, compared to adjusted net income of$38 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share of$0.40 . Reported net income and earnings per diluted share were$10 million and$0.10 , respectively, compared to reported net income and earnings per diluted share of$17 million and$0.18 , respectively.
- Adjusted free cash flow was
$107 million . Reported free cash flow was$10 million , reflecting$57 million of net cash provided by operating activities less$47 million of capital expenditures.
