Cott Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results
(Unless stated otherwise, all third quarter 2019 comparisons are relative to the third quarter of 2018; all information is in U.S. dollars.)
TORONTO and TAMPA, FL, Nov. 7, 2019 /CNW/ - Cott Corporation (NYSE:COT; TSX:BCB), a leading provider of home and office bottled water delivery services in North America and Europe and a leader in custom coffee roasting for the U.S. food service industry, today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 28, 2019.
"We are pleased with our top and bottom line performance during the quarter," commented Tom Harrington, Cott's Chief Executive Officer. "Both our Route Based Services and our Coffee, Tea and Extract Solutions segments delivered strong revenue and EBITDA growth during the quarter. We remain confident in our full year outlook for 2019, as well as our ability to deliver long-term shareholder value," continued Mr. Harrington.
THIRD QUARTER 2019 GLOBAL PERFORMANCE
- Revenue increased 1% to $616 million (increased 6% excluding the impact of foreign exchange, the divested Cott Beverages LLC business and the change in average cost of coffee) driven by organic growth within both the Route Based Services and the Coffee, Tea and Extract Solutions reporting segments, as well as the benefit of acquisitions, including Mountain Valley. Revenue growth by segment in the quarter is tabulated below:
-
Gross profit increased 5% to $326 million (6% excluding the divested Cott Beverages
LLC business). Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased 190 basis points to 52.9% compared to 51.0%. Excluding Cott Beverages
LLC, gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased 70 basis points to 52.9% compared to 52.2% driven primarily by improved
operating leverage within our operations, offset in part by foreign exchange.
-
Income tax expense was $9 million compared to $1 million due primarily to increased
income incurred in taxable jurisdictions. Cash taxes paid during the quarter were $1 million.
-
Reported net income and net income per diluted share were flat at $9 million and
$0.06, respectively, as the growth in operating income was offset by increased tax accruals. Adjusted EBITDA was $96 million compared
to $92 million driven by growth in revenue and the resulting operational leverage, offset in part by foreign exchange and increased
year-over-year incentive accruals in the quarter.
- Net cash provided by operating activities of $82 million, less $36 million of capital expenditures, resulted in $46 million of free cash flow, or $50 million of adjusted free cash flow (adjusting for the items set forth on Exhibit 7), compared to adjusted free cash flow of $56 million in the prior year due in part to other cash inflows in the prior year.
THIRD QUARTER 2019 REPORTING SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
Route Based Services
- Revenue increased 5% (6% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) to $472 million due to organic growth in Home & Office Delivery ("HOD Water") bottled water driven by both volume growth and pricing benefits as well as growth from acquisitions. A detailed breakdown is tabulated below.

-
Gross profit increased 5% to $286 million, driven primarily by revenue growth.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was up 20 basis points at 60.6%.
-
SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased 80 basis points to 50.2%
(see Exhibit 4). SG&A expenses increased to $237 million compared to $230 million due primarily to the addition of Mountain
Valley as well as higher year-over-year incentive accruals in the quarter, offset in part by a foreign exchange benefit and lower
amortization expense.
- Operating income increased 20% to $46 million compared to $39 million, while adjusted EBITDA increased 4% to $92 million compared to $89 million, as revenue growth and the corresponding operational leverage was offset in part by foreign exchange and higher year-over-year incentive accruals in the quarter.
Coffee, Tea and Extract Solutions
- Revenue increased 4% (7% adjusting for the change in average cost of coffee) to $145 million driven primarily by 4% growth in coffee pounds sold and 19% volume growth in liquid coffee and extracts. A detailed breakdown is tabulated below.
-
Gross profit was $40 million compared to $35 million and gross margin as a percentage
of revenue increased to 27.4% compared to 25.2% driven primarily by leveraging the volume growth generated during the quarter.
-
SG&A expenses were $37 million compared to $33 million driven primarily by
higher selling and operating costs which supported the volume and revenue growth of the business segment.
- Operating income was $3 million compared to $5 million while adjusted EBITDA was up 17% at $10 million, driven by growth in revenue and the resulting operational leverage, offset in part by the higher selling and operating costs associated with driving volume growth.
2019 FULL YEAR REVENUE AND ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW
Cott continues to expect full year 2019 consolidated revenue of $2.4 billion and adjusted free cash flow of more than $150 million (when excluding acquisition, integration and other one-time cash costs).

ABOUT COTT CORPORATION

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, results of the divested Cott Beverages LLC business, and the change in average costs of coffee, as well as other items identified on the exhibits hereto, to separate the impact of these factors from Cott's results of operations. Cott excludes from GAAP gross profit the results of the divested Cott Beverages LLC business to separate the impact of this divested business from Cott's results of operations. Cott utilizes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA on a global and segment basis 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 (used in) operating activities from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP by excluding additions to property, plant and equipment to present free cash flow, and by excluding acquisition and integration cash costs, a working capital adjustment related to the Concentrate Supply Agreement with Refresco, and other cash inflows to present adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides useful information to investors in assessing our performance, comparing our performance to the performance of our peer group and assessing our ability to service debt and finance strategic opportunities, which include investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, paying dividends, repurchasing common shares 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.
