TSX: CBY

TORONTO, July 31, 2013 /CNW/ - Canada Bread Company, Limited (TSX: CBY) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.  Second quarter highlights include:

  • Adjusted Operating Earnings(1)(2) for the second quarter of $36.5 million was consistent with last year. Year-to-date Adjusted Operating Earnings increased 20.7% to $53.6 million
  • Net earnings(1) for the quarter was $24.5 million compared to $26.1 million last year. For the first six months, net earnings increased to $26.8 million from $26.3 million last year.
  • Adjusted Earnings Per Share(1)(3) for the quarter was $1.07, up from $1.06 in the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months, Adjusted Earnings per Share was $1.51, up from $1.25 last year.

"In the quarter we realized returns on prior strategic investments to lower costs and improve productivity in our manufacturing network," said Richard Lan, President and CEO. "This includes our new bakery in Hamilton, Ontario and our expanded facilities in the U.K. We expect continued operational improvements, along with profitable contributions from many exciting new product launches that are planned throughout the balance of the year."

(1)     2012 figures have been restated for the impact of adopting the revised International Accounting Standard 19 Employee Benefits ("IAS 19"), as disclosed in Note 19 of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
(2)     Adjusted Operating Earnings, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results.  It is defined as earnings before income taxes adjusted for items that are not considered representative of on-going operational activities of the business, and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. Please refer to the section entitled Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures at the end of this news release.
(3)     Adjusted Earnings per Share, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate on-going financial operating results.  It is defined as basic earnings per share attributable to common shareholders, and is adjusted for all items that are not considered representative of on-going operational activities of the business, and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. Please refer to the section entitled Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures at the end of this news release.

Financial Overview

Canada Bread Company, Limited ("the Company") sales for the second quarter decreased 1.8% to $397.6 million compared to $404.9 million last year, or 0.7% after adjusting for discontinued bread categories in the U.K. and currency translation on sales in the U.S. and U.K. Lower sales volumes in the fresh bread business were partially offset by volume growth in the U.K. as well as higher pricing implemented during the first quarter in the fresh and North American frozen bakery businesses.

Sales for the first six months decreased 1.1% to $766.3 million compared to $775.1 million last year, but were consistent with last year after adjusting for discontinued bread categories in the U.K. and currency translation due to similar factors noted above.

Adjusted Operating Earnings for the second quarter of $36.5 million was consistent with last year as a decline in volumes, primarily in the fresh bread business, was offset by operational efficiencies and lower SG&A expenses. For the first six months, Adjusted Operating Earnings increased 20.7% to $53.6 million compared to $44.4 million last year. Operational improvements and lower SG&A expenses more than offset lower volumes, mainly in the fresh bread business. Price increases earlier in the year also contributed to earnings growth, but this was largely offset by higher raw material and other inflationary costs.

Net earnings in the quarter was $24.5 million ($0.97 basic earnings per share) compared to $26.1 million ($1.03 basic earnings per share) last year and included $1.0 million of pre-tax restructuring and other related costs (2012: $1.2 million). Year-to-date net earnings was $26.8 million ($1.05 basic earnings per share) compared to $26.3 million ($1.03 basic earnings per share) last year and included $11.5 million of pre-tax restructuring and other related costs (2012: $7.1 million).

Adjusted Earnings per Share was $1.07 for the second quarter (2012: $1.06) and $1.51 for the first six months of 2013 (2012: $1.25).

Several items are excluded from the discussions of underlying earnings performance as they are not representative of on-going operational activities. Refer to the section entitled Non-IFRS Financial Measures at the end of this News Release for a description and reconciliation of all non-IFRS financial measures.

Fresh Bakery

Includes fresh bakery products, including breads, rolls, bagels, sweet goods, and fresh pasta and sauces sold to retail, foodservice and convenience channels. It includes national brands such as Dempster's® and Olivieri® and many leading regional brands.

Fresh Bakery sales for the second quarter decreased 2.9% to $271.2 million compared to $279.2 million last year, as lower volumes were only partly offset by the benefit of an earlier price increase in the fresh bread business. During the first six months of 2013, sales decreased 2.6% to $513.8 million compared to $527.3 million last year due to similar factors.

Earnings declined $1.3 million or 4.2% in the second quarter as higher net corporate costs allocated to the segment more than offset higher earnings at the fresh bread and fresh pasta businesses.

Earnings in the fresh bread business increased as a result of reduced costs and improved operating efficiencies. Also contributing to earnings were lower SG&A expenses. These benefits were partly offset by a decline in volume. During the quarter, the Company closed a third bakery in the Toronto area, eliminating any future duplicative overhead costs associated with consolidating production at its bakery in Hamilton, Ontario. Results in the fresh pasta business increased mainly due to lower SG&A costs.

For the first six months, Adjusted Operating Earnings increased 14.9% to $41.8 million compared to $36.4 million last year. Operational improvements and lower SG&A expenses more than offset lower volumes, mainly attributable to the fresh bread business.

Frozen Bakery

Includes frozen bakery products, including frozen par-baked bakery products, specialty and artisan breads, and bagels sold to retail, foodservice and convenience channels in North America and the U.K. It includes national brands such as Tenderflake® and New York Bakery CoTM.

Frozen Bakery sales for the second quarter were $126.5 million compared to $125.7 million in 2012. After adjusting for discontinued bread categories in the U.K. and currency translation on sales in the U.S. and U.K., sales increased 4.1%. Stronger volumes in the U.K. and the benefit of earlier price increases in the North American business were partly offset by a decline in North American frozen bakery volumes. Year-to-date Frozen Bakery sales increased 1.9% to $252.5 million compared to $247.8 million last year. After adjusting for discontinued bread categories in the U.K. and currency translation on sales in the U.S. and U.K., sales increased 5.1% due to similar factors.

Second quarter Adjusted Operating Earnings increased 17.8% to $7.9 million from $6.7 million last year. Performance in the North American frozen bakery business was consistent as earlier price increases offset inflationary costs and lower volumes. Earnings in the U.K. bakery business improved primarily due to higher volumes in both bagels and croissants. This business continues to benefit from network consolidation, investment in scale facilities and focus on its core categories.

For the first six months of 2013, Adjusted Operating Earnings increased 47.3% to 11.7 million compared to $8.0 million last year, due to similar factors noted above.

Other Matters

On July 30, 2013, the Company declared a dividend of $0.50 per share payable on October 1, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 6, 2013. Unless indicated otherwise by the Company in writing on or before the time the dividend is paid, this dividend will be considered an Eligible Dividend for the purposes of the "Enhanced Dividend Tax Credit System".

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company uses the following non-IFRS measures: Adjusted Operating Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Share.  Management believes that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to both Management and investors in measuring the financial performance of the Company for the reasons outlined below.  These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted Operating Earnings

Adjusted Operating Earnings, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results.  It is defined as earnings before income taxes adjusted for items that are not considered representative of on-going operational activities of the business, and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in the earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred.  The table below provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported under IFRS in the unaudited consolidated interim statements of earnings to Adjusted Operating Earnings for the three and six months ended, as indicated below. Management believes that this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate operating results, as they are representative of the on-going operations of the Company.

Adjusted Earnings per Share, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate on-going financial operating results.  It is defined as basic earnings per share attributable to common shareholders, and is adjusted for items that are not considered representative of on-going operational activities of the business, and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred.  The table below provides a reconciliation of basic earnings per share as reported under IFRS in the unaudited consolidated interim statements of earnings to Adjusted Earnings per Share for the three and six months ended, as indicated below.  Management believes this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate financial results as they are representative of the on-going operations of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains, and the Company's oral and written public communications often contain, "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which the Company operates and beliefs and assumptions made by Management. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to objectives and goals, as well as statements with respect to beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. Specific forward-looking information in this document includes, but is not limited to, statements concerning expectations regarding the use of derivatives, futures and options, expectations regarding the timing and amount of capital investments, expectations regarding the timing and cost of old facility closures and new facility openings, the expected use of cash balances, source of funds for ongoing business requirements including renewal of existing securitization facilities, capital investments and debt repayment, expectations regarding LEED® certification, expectations regarding the impact of new accounting standards, expectations regarding sufficiency of the allowance for uncollectible accounts and expectations regarding pension plan performance and future pension liabilities and contributions. Words such as "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "attempt", "may", "will", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate" and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking information. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve assumptions and risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.

In particular, these statements are based on a variety of factors and assumptions that are discussed throughout this document. In addition, expectations concerning the performance of the Company's business in general are based on a number of factors and assumptions including, but not limited to: the condition of the Canadian, U.S. and U.K. economies; the rate of exchange of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar and British pound; the availability and prices of raw materials, energy and supplies; product pricing; the availability of insurance; the competitive environment and related market conditions; improvement of operating efficiencies; continued access to capital; the cost of compliance with environmental and health standards; no adverse results from ongoing litigation; no unexpected actions of domestic and foreign governments and the general assumption that none of the risks identified below or elsewhere will materialize. All of these assumptions have been derived from information currently available to the Company including information obtained by the Company from third-party sources. These assumptions may prove to be incorrect in whole or in part. In addition, actual results may differ materially from those expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking information, which reflect the Company's expectations only as of the date hereof.

Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking information include, among other things:

  • the risks associated with changes in the Company's systems and processes
  • the risks associated with the management service agreement with Maple Leaf
  • the Company's exposure to currency exchange risks
  • the ability of the Company to hedge against the effect of commodity price changes through the use of commodity futures and options
  • the impact of international events on commodity prices and the free flow of goods
  • the risks associated with a consolidating retail environment
  • the risks related to capital expansion projects
  • the risks posed by food contamination, consumer liability and product recalls
  • the risks related to acquisitions and divestitures
  • the risks posed by compliance with extensive government regulation
  • the risks posed by litigation
  • the impact of changes in consumer tastes and buying patterns
  • the impact of extensive environmental regulation and potential environmental liabilities
  • the risks associated with complying with differing employment laws and practices globally, the potential for work stoppages due to non-renewal of collective agreements and recruiting and retaining qualified personnel
  • the impact on pension expense and funding requirements of fluctuations in the market prices of fixed income and equity securities and changes in interest rates
  • the risks associated with the Company's independent distributors
  • the risks posed by competition
  • the risks associated with pricing the Company's products
  • the risks associated with managing the Company's supply chain
  • the risks associated with failing to identify and manage the strategic risks facing the Company.

The Company cautions the reader that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. These factors are discussed in more detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2012 that is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The reader should review such section in detail. The Company does not intend to, and the Company disclaims any obligation to, update any forward-looking information, whether written or oral, or whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law.
