PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Crown Holdings, Inc.
(NYSE: CCK) today announced its financial results for the fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2014.
2014 Highlights
- Full year income per diluted share $2.79 versus $2.30
in 2014; before certain items $3.41 versus $2.99
- Q4 income per diluted share $0.09 versus $0.36
in 2013; before certain items $0.48
in both 2014 and 2013
- Full year free cash flow of $612
million; $1.25 billion in 2014
and 2013
- Completed Mivisa acquisition in April
2014
- Entered into a definitive agreement to acquire EMPAQUE in
September 2014
Twelve Month Results
For the full year, net sales grew to $9,097
million compared to $8,656
million in 2013, primarily due to the impact of the Mivisa
acquisition and increased global beverage can volumes, partially
offset by $52 million of unfavorable
currency translation.
Gross profit for 2014 rose to $1,382
million versus $1,342 million
in 2013 primarily reflecting the impact of the Mivisa
acquisition.
Selling and administrative expense for 2014 decreased to
$398 million from $425 million as the 2013 expense included charges
to reserve for outstanding receivable balances due from two food
can customers.
Segment income (a non-GAAP measure) in 2014 grew to $1,004 million from $917
million in 2013 primarily due to contributions from the
Mivisa acquisition and lower selling and administrative
expense.
Commenting on the year, John W.
Conway, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We
had an excellent 2014 in spite of challenges in certain of our
markets. Net sales grew 5% compared to 2013, segment income
increased 9% and net income per diluted share before certain items
rose 14%. For the second year in a row, we generated more
than $600 million in free cash flow,
making solid progress toward our deleveraging goals following the
Mivisa acquisition. We experienced global volume growth in
food cans, food closures, and beverage cans. In addition to
the acquisition of Mivisa, the harvest season was favorable in both
North America and Europe, boosting food can shipments. In
beverage cans, demand was robust throughout our developing market
portfolio and was particularly strong in Brazil, Southeast
Asia and Turkey.
"Looking ahead to 2015, in addition to anticipated continued
global beverage can growth, we are pleased that the integration of
Mivisa is proceeding as expected and that we will benefit from a
full year of these very efficient operations. We are also
looking forward to completing the acquisition of EMPAQUE, a leading
Mexican manufacturer of aluminum cans and ends, bottle caps and
glass bottles for the beverage industry, from Heineken N.V.
This acquisition will significantly enhance Crown's overall
position in beverage cans, as Mexico represents an important and expanding
market for both beer and non-alcoholic beverages."
Interest expense for 2014 was $253
million compared to $236
million in 2013, primarily reflecting higher average debt
outstanding from the Mivisa acquisition.
Net income attributable to Crown Holdings for 2014 was
$387 million compared to $324 million in 2013. Income per diluted
share for 2014 was $2.79 compared to
$2.30 last year. Net income per
diluted share before certain items increased to $3.41 from $2.99 in
2013.
A reconciliation from net income and income per diluted share to
net income before certain items and income per diluted share before
certain items is provided below.
The Company generated free cash flow of $612 million and $641
million, in 2014 and 2013 respectively.
In September 2014 the Company
announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire Mexican beverage packaging company EMPAQUE in a transaction
valued at $1.2 billion.
In April 2014, the Company
completed its acquisition of Mivisa Envases, SAU, a leading Spanish
manufacturer of two- and three-piece food cans and ends in a
transaction valued at €1.2 billion.
Fourth Quarter Results
Net sales in the fourth
quarter grew to $2,127 million over
the $2,071 million in the fourth
quarter of 2013, reflecting the impact of the Mivisa acquisition
and increased beverage can volumes, partially offset by
$90 million of unfavorable currency
translation.
Fourth quarter gross profit increased to $287 million compared to $274 million in the 2013 fourth quarter,
primarily due to improved results in the European Food and Americas
Beverage segments offset by $13
million of unfavorable currency impact.
Selling and administrative expense decreased to $96 million in the fourth quarter of 2014
compared to $106 million in the prior
year fourth quarter, including $5
million of decrease due to currency translation.
Segment income rose to $191
million in the fourth quarter compared to $168 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 as
improved results in the European Food and Americas Beverage
segments were offset by $8 million of
unfavorable currency translation.
Interest expense was $65 million
in the quarter compared to $57 in the
prior year quarter primarily due to higher average debt outstanding
from the Mivisa acquisition.
Net income attributable to Crown Holdings in the fourth quarter
was $13 million compared to
$49 million in the fourth quarter
last year. Income per diluted share was $0.09 in the fourth quarter compared to
$0.36 in the fourth quarter of
2013. Net income per diluted share before certain items was
$0.48 in the fourth quarter of both
2014 and 2013.
Non-GAAP Measures
Segment income and free cash
flow are not defined terms under U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (non-GAAP measures). Segment income is defined by
the Company as gross profit excluding the impact of fair value
adjustments to inventory acquired in an acquisition and the timing
impact of hedge ineffectiveness, less selling and administrative
expense. Free cash flow is defined by the Company as net cash
provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and
certain other items. In addition, the information presented
regarding net income before certain items and income per diluted
share before certain items does not conform to U.S. GAAP and
includes non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, income
per diluted share or cash flow data prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly
titled measures by other companies.
The Company views segment income and free cash flow as the
principal measures of performance of its operations and for the
allocation of resources. Free cash flow has certain
limitations, however, including that it does not represent the
residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since
other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt
service requirements, are not deducted from the measure. The
amount of mandatory versus discretionary expenditures can vary
significantly between periods. The Company believes that net income
before certain items and income per diluted share before certain
items are useful in evaluating the Company's operations.
Segment income, free cash flow, net income before certain items and
income per diluted share before certain items are derived from the
Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows, as
applicable, and reconciliations to segment income, free cash flow,
net income before certain items and income per diluted share before
certain items can be found within this release.

Reconciliation
from Gross Profit to Segment Income
The Company views
segment income, as defined below, as a principal measure of
performance of its operations and for the allocation of resources.
Segment income is defined by the Company as gross profit excluding
the impact of fair value adjustments to inventory acquired in an
acquisition and the timing impact of hedge ineffectiveness, less
selling and administrative expense. A reconciliation from gross
profit to segment income for the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013 follows:
