Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "Navigating the difficult competitive/retail env’t, SPB’s 2Q report fell short of expectations with weaker org sales (-2.5% vs. Street +1.9%) resulting in a 6% EBITDA miss. While SPB’s org sales guide appears to be modestly tempered, the co. importantly maintained its FCF guidance of $575-$590M (~7% FY17 LFCF yield). Shares likely to give back some of recent gains on soft qtr; however, SPB offers compelling LT value at 17x EV/ULFCF (> 20% disc. to group). 2Q results fall short of expectations on weak org sales in a difficult competitive/ retail environment: SPB’s reported revs for 1Q of $1.17B were -4.5% below consensus, with organic sales declines of -2.5% (-1.6% ex. $11M of planned business exits) falling short of +1.9% Street estimates. Despite reported topline downside, gross margins were better (39.3% vs. Street 38.6%), though higher total SG&A (25.6% vs. 25.0%) largely offset, as 2Q adjusted EBITDA of $220M fell -6% short of consensus $234M expectations (-4% miss ex. $4.8M of one-time charges associated with a retail bankruptcy, etc.). 2Q adj. EPS of $1.19 also missed Street est." (5/2/2017)
