“I am pleased that our third quarter saw core Cott volume growth of 4% in North America, ongoing cost savings on underlying SG&A and most importantly, the closing of our acquisition of Cliffstar,” commented Jerry Fowden, Cott’s Chief Executive Officer. “New business wins and a more modest national brand promotional environment drove higher volumes in North America, alongside continued growth in Mexico and RCI. Additionally, the U.K. continued its prior trend of double-digit growth in the energy and sports isotonic categories. Our efforts to integrate Cliffstar are proceeding according to plan and we remain confident in our synergy targets and goals to drive cash generation and debt reduction,” continued Mr. Fowden.

THIRD QUARTER 2010 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

 

Filled beverage case volume increased 14% (3% excluding Cliffstar), while an 11% increase in Royal Crown International (“RCI”) concentrate sales volume drove total beverage volume in 8 oz. equivalents (including concentrate sales) up 12% (5% excluding Cliffstar). The growth in filled beverage case volume was driven by growth in North America, Mexico and RCI, which offset lower volumes in the United Kingdom / Europe operating segment (“U.K.”).

 

 

Revenue increased 21% (2% excluding Cliffstar and the impact of foreign exchange). The increase in revenue was driven by higher volumes in North America, Mexico and RCI, as well as positive price mix in the U.K. due to ongoing growth in the energy and sports isotonic categories.

 

 

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 14.4% (15.8% excluding Cliffstar) compared to 15.8%. Excluding Cliffstar, gross margin as a percentage of sales was flat.

 

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $47 million compared to $37 million. Excluding Cliffstar and Cliffstar-related transaction expenses, SG&A expenses were $35 million.

 

 

Operating income was $23 million compared to $27 million. Excluding Cliffstar-related transaction expenses and purchase accounting adjustments, adjusted operating income was $37 million, an increase of 36% from the prior year period.

 

 

Excluding Cliffstar-related transaction expenses and purchase accounting adjustments, adjusted EBITDA was $54 million, an increase of 35% from $40 million in the prior year period.

Cash from operations was $66 million and capital expenditures were $11 million.

THIRD QUARTER 2010 OPERATING SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

 

 

North America revenue increased 31% (3% excluding Cliffstar), driven by a 19% increase in filled beverage case volumes (4% excluding Cliffstar). Higher soft drink volumes were primarily attributable to new business achieved earlier in 2010 and diminished levels of national brand promotions during the quarter.

 

 

U.K. revenue increased 2% excluding the impact of foreign exchange but decreased 5% on a reported basis. Filled beverage case volume decreased 5% to 46 million cases compared to a strong volume performance in the third quarter of 2009 (filled beverage volumes increased 9% in the third quarter of 2009 versus 2008). However, U.K. revenues were positive due to the ongoing impact of positive pricing mix into higher revenue products and distribution channels. Sales in the energy and sports isotonic categories increased 29%. U.K. operating income decreased to $7 million from $11 million due to the allocation of corporate overhead expenses and the impact of foreign exchange.

 

 

Mexico revenues increased 20% to $12 million from $10 million, primarily as a result of new business that began to show gains in late 2009.

 

 

RCI revenue was flat at $6 million. RCI concentrate volumes increased 11% to 61 million cases from 55 million cases.

About Cott Corporation

Cott is the world’s largest retailer brand beverage company. With approximately 4,000 employees, Cott operates soft drink, juice, water and other beverage bottling facilities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Mexico. Cott markets beverage concentrates in over 50 countries around the world.

Non-GAAP Measures

Cott supplements its reporting of revenue determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding the impact of foreign exchange to separate the impact of currency exchange rate changes from Cott’s results of operations and, in some cases, by excluding the impact of Cliffstar. Additionally, Cott supplements its reporting of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization, net income, operating income and earnings per diluted share in accordance with GAAP by excluding the impact of certain items to separate the impact of these items from underlying business. Since Cott uses these adjusted financial results in the management of its business and to understand business performance independent of the Cliffstar acquisition, management believes this supplemental information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of the performance of Cott’s management and its core business performance. 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 future financial operating 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 realize the expected benefits of the Cliffstar acquisition because of integration difficulties and other challenges; significant transaction and acquisition-related costs that Cott incurred in connection with the Cliffstar acquisition; the effectiveness of Cliffstar’s system of internal control over financial reporting; the substantial indebtedness Cott incurred to finance the Cliffstar acquisition and Cott’s ability to service and reduce its debt; risks associated with the asset purchase agreement in connection with the Cliffstar acquisition; 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 Wal-Mart; 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 maintain favorable arrangements and relationships with its suppliers; Cott’s ability to manage its operations successfully; currency fluctuations that adversely affect the exchange between the U.S. dollar and the pound sterling, the Euro, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and other currencies; Cott’s ability to maintain compliance with the covenants and conditions under its debt agreements; fluctuations in interest rates; credit rating changes; further deterioration of the capital markets; 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; the impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative and legal actions; the impact of proposed taxes on soda and other sugary drinks; 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 and a new management structure; Cott’s exposure to intangible asset risk; the volatility of Cott’s stock price; Cott’s ability to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange; Cott’s ability to renew its collective bargaining agreements on satisfactory terms; and disruptions in Cott’s information systems.
