<p><strong>Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc.</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spb#NYSE">SPB</a>) appears in good shape, thanks to its robust strategic efforts. The company&#39;s Global Productivity Improvement Plan, which aims at improving the operating efficiency, is encouraging too. Solid gains from pricing, cost improvements and favorable mix have been aiding its margins for a while now. Its e-commerce unit also bodes well.</p>
<p>Analysts seem optimistic about the company&#39;s earnings potential. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 earnings per share is pegged at $4.78 and $6.21, respectively.&nbsp; While the figure for fiscal 2024 indicates a sharp increase year over year, the metric for fiscal 2025 implies a rise of about 30%.</p>
<h3>Let&#39;s Delve Deep</h3>
<p>Spectrum Brands is on track with its growth initiatives. In this regard, the company is streamlining its organizational structure and re-energizing its employee base. It is committed to improving operational efficiencies through limiting risk. Management is protecting and deleveraging its balance sheet while solidifying liquidity. As part of its strategic transformation, the company completed the sale of its HHI business to ASSA ABLOY for $4.3 billion in cash on Jun 20, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. With the sale of the HHI business, SPB has been strongly focusing on its core businesses and delivering sustainable growth.</p>
<p>The company is experiencing sturdy momentum in its e-commerce business, which continued during the fiscal third quarter, with more than 20% growth year over year. E-commerce sales accounted for more than 21% of the total sales in the quarter. We note that each of the company&#39;s businesses delivered double-digit e-commerce sales, with the Home &amp; Personal Care (HPC) segment leading the way with an e-commerce sales increase of more than 33%. The investment in the segment&#39;s digital marketing and activation led to the highest Amazon Prime Day sales ever for the unit. Management assumes that e-commerce sales across the businesses will be strong, with sales recovery in small kitchen appliances and global aquatics to continue.</p>

<p>Image Source: Zacks Investment Research</p>
<p>The company has been proactive in its cost-takeout actions, including fixed cost reduction by lowering advertising and promotional spending. It is focused on a disciplined cost structure. During the fiscal third quarter, gross profit advanced 14.9% year over year, driven by lower cost inventory and inventory-related costs and other cost improvements. Meanwhile, the gross margin expanded 310 basis points (bps) year over year to 38.9%. The adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 20 bps year over year to 13.6%, driven by better gross margins and higher sales.</p>
<p>In addition, the company is focused on boosting its top-line results through investments in commercial capabilities. It has been making significant investments in brand-focused advertising, marketing and innovation. In the fiscal third quarter, SPB made investments of around $23 million, up year over year, in brand advertising and innovation. It is on track to invest $50 million more during the current fiscal year. Management highlighted that the company&#39;s internal teams and advisers made the dual-track process of the separation of the HPC business, preparing the division for sale, merger or spin-off transaction.</p>
<h3>Bottom Line</h3>
<p>Spectrum Brands has been grappling with geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty for a while now. In addition, soft demand in the small kitchen appliances category, volume declines in certain pet channels and the impact of SKU rationalization decisions are likely to continue to act as headwinds. Also, foreign currency translations act as deterrents.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the aforesaid strengths are likely to continue to boost overall growth. Going forward, the company is likely to see sturdy consumer demand for household and repellent categories. For fiscal 2024, Spectrum Brands still projects reported sales to remain relatively flat year over year. It expects sales growth in the second half of the fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the investment income, is likely to grow nearly 20%. Over the past six months, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock has gained 12.4% compared with the industry&#39;s 13.9% growth.</p>

Analyst Ratings For Spectrum Brands Holdings

<p>Canaccord Genuity  analyst Brian McNamara   maintains Spectrum Brands Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPB#NYSE">SPB</a>) with a Hold and lowers the price target from $92 to $90.</p>


Canaccord Genuity Maintains Hold on Spectrum Brands Holdings, Lowers Price Target to $90

<p><strong>Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc.</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spb#NYSE">SPB</a>) looks well-poised for growth, thanks to its robust strategic efforts. The company is benefiting from increased pricing, cost improvements and a favorable mix. Its Global Productivity Improvement Plan (&quot;GPIP&quot;), which aims at improving the company&#39;s operating efficiency and effectiveness, appears encouraging.<br />
Driven by such upsides, the stock has gained 20.4% in the past year, outperforming the industry&#39;s 0.3% growth.<br />
Analysts seem quite optimistic about this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2024 sales and earnings per share is pegged at $2.92 billion and $4.68, respectively, indicating year-over-year growth of 0.1% and 205.9%.</p>
<h3>Delving Deeper</h3>
<p>Spectrum Brands is on track with the four core pillars to drive growth. In this regard, the company is streamlining its organizational structure and re-energizing its employee base. It is committed to improving operational efficiencies while limiting risk. Management is protecting and deleveraging its balance sheet while solidifying liquidity. It is focused on transforming the company into a pure-play global Pet and Home &amp; Garden business.</p>
<p><img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/29/69346.jpg?v=880900130" /><br />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research</p>
<p>The GPIP is focused on consumer insights and growth-enabling functions, including technology, marketing and research and development. This plan will also enable the company to deliver value creation and sustainable growth in the long term. In addition, SPB is focused on delivering savings, the majority of which are expected to be reinvested into growth initiatives.<br />
Spectrum Brands&#39; initiatives like pricing, cost improvements and a favorable mix have been driving margins for a while now. The company has been proactive in its cost-takeout actions, which were implemented in the second half of fiscal 2022 and include fixed cost reduction by eliminating permanently salaried headcount and reducing advertising and promotional spending.<br />
Driven by improved pricing and cost improvements, the gross margin expanded 870 basis points (bps) to 38.1% in the fiscal second quarter while gross profit improved 27.5% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA advanced 120.2% year over year to $112.3 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 860 bps 15.6%, driven by better gross margins and lower operating expenses.<br />
Looking ahead, Spectrum Brands now projects reported sales to remain flat year over year in fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the investment income, is likely to grow in the low-double digits.<br />
However, Spectrum Brands has been witnessing soft demand in the small kitchen appliances category, volume declines in certain pet channels and the impact of SKU rationalizations. In addition, the company&#39;s Home &amp; Personal Care segment continues to be sluggish. Sales for the segment dipped 4% year over year in the fiscal second quarter, due to lower sales in small kitchen appliances.

6 Analysts Assess Spectrum Brands Holdings: What You Need To Know

<p>RBC Capital  analyst Nik Modi   reiterates Spectrum Brands Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPB#NYSE">SPB</a>) with a Outperform and maintains $114 price target.</p>


Reiteration

RBC Capital Reiterates Outperform on Spectrum Brands Holdings, Maintains $114 Price Target

<p><strong>Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc.</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spb#NYSE">SPB</a>) is benefiting from increased pricing, cost improvements and a favorable mix. The company is progressing well with its Global Productivity Improvement Plan, which aims at improving operating efficiency and effectiveness.</p>
<p>In the latest developments, the company unveiled that its fully-owned subsidiary, Spectrum Brands, Inc., offered $300 million in total principal amount of its 3.375% exchangeable senior notes due 2029 in a private placement to eligible purchasers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &quot;Securities Act&quot;).</p>
<h3>Let&#39;s Delve Deep</h3>
<p>The company plans to utilize the net proceeds from the offering to fund the $21.6 million cost of entering into the capped call transactions, general corporate purposes and to repurchase about $50 million of shares of common stock of Parent concurrent with the pricing of the offering of the Exchangeable Notes in privately negotiated transactions. Such transactions are effected through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliates.<br />
Concerning the offering, if the initial purchasers sell more Exchangeable Notes than the overall principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes, they have the option to purchase, for settlement within a 13-day period starting and including the date the Exchangeable Notes are first issued, up to an additional $50 million total principal amount of Exchangeable Notes.</p>

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research</p>
<p>Further, the sale of the Exchangeable Notes is anticipated to close on or about May 23, 2024, and is subject to the customary closing conditions. This is likely to result in $291.6 million in net proceeds to the company, after the deduction of the initial purchasers&#39; discount, assuming no exercise of the initial purchasers&#39; option, but before the deduction of planned offering expenses payable by the company and the cost of the capped call transactions.<br />
In connection with the pricing of the Exchangeable Notes, Spectrum Brands is likely to make share repurchases at a cash purchase price per share, which is equal to the closing price per share of the Parent Common Stock on May 20, 2024. The company anticipates that one of the initial purchasers and/or its affiliate will buy the shares from purchasers of Exchangeable Notes in the offering and will sell the shares to the Parent at closing.<br />
Such repurchases can increase or decrease the extent of any decline in the market price of the Parent Common Stock or the Exchangeable Notes. Also, repurchases might affect the market price of the Parent Common Stock concurrently with the pricing of the Exchangeable Notes, and result in a higher effective exchange price for the Exchangeable Notes.<br />
The company has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Spectrum Brands, has commenced a cash tender of up to a total principal amount of its outstanding 4% Senior Notes due 2026, 5% Senior Notes due 2029, 5.50% Senior Notes due 2030 and 3.875% Senior Notes due 2031.<br />
