Sealed Air Reports 7% Sales Increase in Third Quarter 2007
Third Quarter 2007 Supplemental Financial
ELMWOOD PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2007--Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE:SEE) reported diluted earnings per common share of $0.39 for the third quarter of 2007, which includes a charge of $0.01 per common share related to the implementation of the Company's global manufacturing strategy. Excluding this charge, diluted earnings per common share would have been $0.40 per share. This compares with diluted earnings per common share of $0.41 for the third quarter of 2006, after adjusting for the two-for-one stock split effective March 2, 2007. Sealed Air's net sales for the quarter increased 7% to $1.16 billion, compared with $1.08 billion in 2006.
Commenting on the Company's operating performance, William V. Hickey, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:
"Our business continued to demonstrate steady progress while navigating through more challenging economic conditions in North America and Western Europe. Unit volume growth was 4% for the quarter, which was the result of our geographic and product diversification, our continued expansion into emerging markets, and fast growing packaging applications. Our combined strengths enabled us to partially offset regional weaknesses and grow our sales at a higher rate, both year-over-year and sequentially.
Operating profit, however, was negatively affected by rising input costs and unfavorable price/mix. In addition, our recent sustainable packaging and vacuum insulation investments were slightly dilutive to earnings compared with last year. We continue to believe that these late-stage development investments will make positive contributions in the future. During the quarter, we also incurred additional expenses related to new packaging equipment growth programs, which we anticipate introducing next year. Notwithstanding these additional expenses, we continued to use available cash for capital expenditures, acquisitions and the payment of dividends in the quarter."
Commenting on the Company's outlook, Mr. Hickey stated:
"Our outlook for the remainder of 2007 continues to be positive, as our organization is positioned to weather the challenges of slowing economic growth rates and rising raw material costs. Looking ahead, our strategy for long term growth remains focused on innovation, growth in emerging markets and new applications. We continued to invest in our Medical Applications business by acquiring Alga Plastics and are executing on-plan with the start-up of new operations in China, with expanding capacity in Latin America, and by introducing a number of new food packaging systems."
Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter
-- Net sales increased 7% to $1.16 billion compared with $1.08
billion for the third quarter of 2006. The increase in net
sales resulted from a $43 million favorable effect of foreign
currency translation, $40 million from unit volume growth,
combined with a net unfavorable effect of $1 million from
acquisitions and divestitures. Excluding the favorable effect
of $43 million in foreign currency translation, net sales
would have increased 4%.
-- Gross profit increased to $320 million, or 27.6% of net sales,
compared with $310 million, or 28.6% of net sales, for the
third quarter of 2006. The decrease in gross profit as a
percentage of net sales was primarily due to the impact of
higher petrochemical-based raw material and energy costs and
to a lesser extent, additional expenses associated with the
implementation of the Company's multi-year global
manufacturing strategy and unfavorable price/mix.
-- Marketing, administrative and development expenses increased
to $186 million, or 16.0% of net sales, compared with $170
million, or 15.7% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2006.
The increase in these expenses was primarily due to the
unfavorable effects of foreign currency translation, spending
related to innovation and new product introductions, and
spending related to opening a state-of-the-art customer
service center in North America.
-- Operating profit decreased to $134 million, or 11.6% of net
sales, compared with $140 million, or 12.9% of net sales, in
the third quarter of 2006. Operating profit in the third
quarter of 2007 included charges of $3 million related to the
implementation of the Company's multi-year global
manufacturing strategy and restructuring charges related to
the consolidation of the Company's customer service activities
in North America.
-- The Company's effective income tax rate was 31.3% for the
third quarter of 2007, compared with 30.6% in the third
quarter of 2006. The increase in the quarterly income tax rate
was primarily due to a larger mix of domestic pre-tax
earnings. The Company's expected full year effective income
tax rate is 25.2%.
Business Segment Review
As previously announced, Sealed Air has expanded and realigned its segment reporting to reflect the Company's growth strategies both in core markets and in new business opportunities. This new structure reflects the way management now makes operating decisions, allocates resources and manages the growth and profitability of the Company's segments.
Food Packaging Segment
The new Food Packaging segment focuses on industrial food packaging and is driven by developments in technologies that enable food processors to effectively package and ship fresh and processed meats and cheeses through their supply chain.
The Company's Food Packaging segment net sales for the third quarter increased 8% to $466 million compared with $431 million last year. The positive impact of strong unit volume growth in Latin America and North America contributed to sales growth in the quarter. Excluding a $17 million favorable effect of foreign currency translation, segment net sales would have increased 4%. Operating profit for the third quarter was $51 million, or 10.8% of Food Packaging net sales, compared with $56 million, or 13.0% of net sales, in 2006. The decrease in operating profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to expenses related to the global manufacturing strategy and higher raw material costs.
Food Solutions Segment
The new Food Solutions segment targets advancements in food packaging technologies that provide consumers with fresh, consistently prepared, high-quality meals either from food service outlets or from expanding retail cases at grocery stores.
The Company's Food Solutions segment net sales for the third quarter increased 11% to $242 million compared with $218 million last year. The positive impact of continued strong unit volume growth in North America, Europe and Latin America, as well as favorable price/mix in North America, contributed to growth in the quarter. Excluding an $11 million favorable effect of foreign currency translation, segment net sales would have increased 6%. Operating profit for the third quarter was $24 million, or 10.1% of net sales, compared with $24 million, or 10.9% of Food Solutions net sales, in 2006. The decrease in operating profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the impact of higher marketing, administrative and development expenses mentioned above and higher raw material costs.
Protective Packaging Segment
The new Protective Packaging segment includes core protective packaging technologies and solutions aimed at traditional industrial applications while increasing emphasis on consumer-oriented packaging solutions.
The Company's Protective Packaging segment net sales for the third quarter increased 1% to $371 million compared with $366 million last year. Excluding an $11 million favorable effect of foreign currency translation and the $5 million revenue impact of the sale of a small product line, segment net sales would have been essentially flat. Operating profit for the third quarter was $52 million, or 14.1% of Protective Packaging net sales, compared with $53 million, or 14.5% of net sales, in 2006. The decrease in operating profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to higher marketing, administrative and development expenses mentioned above, unfavorable price/mix and higher raw material costs.
Other Category
The Other category, introduced in the second quarter, focuses on growth in newer markets. These markets include specialty materials for non-packaging applications, products for value-added medical applications, and products sourced from renewable materials.
The Other category net sales for the third quarter increased 23% to $82 million compared with $66 million last year. The positive impact of strong unit volume growth in the Medical Applications business in Asia-Pacific and Europe, as well as the acquisition of Alga Plastics on August 8, 2007, contributed to the growth in the quarter. Operating profit for the third quarter was $7 million, or 8.8% of Other net sales, compared with $7 million, or 10.1% of net sales in 2006. The decrease in operating profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the impact of higher marketing, administrative and development expenses including expenses associated with the Company's majority ownership in Biosphere Industries LLC.
Global Manufacturing Strategy
The Company incurred $3 million in expenses during the third quarter related to the implementation of its multi-year global manufacturing strategy that were primarily recorded as cost of sales. The Company has incurred $9 million through the first nine months of 2007 and expects to incur approximately $15 million in total expenses related to this strategy in 2007. The actual timing of these additional expenses is subject to change due to a variety of factors that may cause a portion of the charges to occur in future periods.
Capital Expenditures
Taking into account the implementation of the first phase of the Company's global manufacturing strategy, the Company now expects that total capital expenditures in 2007 will be approximately $200 million, which is at the upper end of its previously announced range of $175 to $200 million.
Earnings Guidance
Sealed Air expects its full year 2007 diluted earnings per common share to be at the lower end of its previously announced guidance range of $1.88 to $1.98. This guidance includes two previously-disclosed items that were recorded in the first quarter, those being the gain of $0.11 per common share related to the sale of the Company's investment in the PolyMask joint venture and the $0.18 per common share favorable impact from the reversal of tax accruals and related interest. Additionally, the Company expects to incur total charges of $15 million, or approximately $0.06 per common share in 2007, relating to its global manufacturing strategy, which is included in this guidance.
Excluding these items, the Company is now expecting its full year 2007 diluted earnings per common share guidance to be at the lower end of its previously announced range of $1.65 to $1.75, after adjusting for the two-for-one stock split effective March 2, 2007. This guidance also assumes a full year effective tax rate of 25.2%, continued growth in the global economy and a moderate increase in full year average raw material prices compared with 2006. Results for the year could be further impacted if recently announced raw material price increases are realized in the fourth quarter. As it has done historically, the Company is prepared to take pricing actions as appropriate to lessen the impact of any raw material price increases. However, any actions taken by the Company in the fourth quarter would likely not have an impact until 2008.

Non-GAAP Information
The Company's management from time to time presents information that does not conform to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or GAAP. In this press release, the Company has presented diluted earnings per common share, and the effective income tax rate excluding items that are included in GAAP calculations of such measures. Sealed Air has also presented changes in net sales and segment net sales, excluding the effects of foreign currency translation and the impact of the sale of a small product line. Presenting diluted earnings per common share and the effective income tax rate excluding the items indicated in this press release aids in the comparisons with other periods or prior guidance. Diluted earnings per common share and growth in net sales are among the criteria upon which performance-based compensation may be determined. The Company's management generally uses changes in net sales excluding the effects of foreign currency translation, and in this instance excluding the impact of the sale of the product line, to measure the performance of the Company's operations. Thus, management believes that this information may be useful to investors.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements made by the Company in this press release are forward-looking. These statements include comments as to future events and trends affecting the Company's business, which are based upon management's current expectations and are necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the control of the Company. Forward-looking statements can be identified by such words as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "will" and similar expressions. The following are important factors that the Company believes could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the Company's forward-looking statements: the success of the Company's growth, profitability and global manufacturing strategies; changes in raw material and energy costs; the effects of animal and food-related health issues; market conditions; tax, interest and exchange rates; and legal proceedings. A more extensive list and description of these and other such factors can be found under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," which appear in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1) As previously reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K
filed July 12, 2007, the Company has expanded and realigned its
segment reporting to reflect the Company's growth strategies both in
core markets and in new business opportunities. This new structure
reflects the way management now makes operating decisions and manages
the growth and profitability of the business. It also corresponds
with management's current approach to allocating resources and
assessing the performance of the Company's segments. The Company's
business segment information is reported in accordance with the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," or SFAS No. 131. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the
2006 segment information has been recast from amounts previously
reported to reflect the Company's new reportable business segments.
Accordingly, there has been no change in the Company's condensed
consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets
previously reported in total for the Company.
(2) The 2007 restructuring charges relate to the consolidation of the
Company's customer service activities in North America. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded $12.1 million
of restructuring charges, of which, $11.8 million was primarily for
severance costs related to the first phase of its multi-year global
manufacturing strategy.

(1) On February 16, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
two-for-one stock split of the Company's common stock that was
effected in the form of a stock dividend. The stock dividend was paid
on March 16, 2007 at the rate of one additional share of the
Company's common stock for each share of the Company's common stock
issued and outstanding to stockholders of record at the close of
business on March 2, 2007. The par value of the Company's common
stock remains at $0.10 per common share. All share and per share
amounts have been restated to reflect the two-for-one stock split.
(2) Net earnings per common share for 2006 has been revised. The
Company had previously included non-vested restricted stock in the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding in both its
basic and diluted net earnings per common share calculations. Also,
the Company had previously excluded non-vested restricted stock units
from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in its
basic net earnings per common share calculations, and from the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding of its diluted
net earnings per common share calculations when inclusion of such
units was dilutive. The calculations have been revised in accordance
with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Common Share," to include non-vested
restricted stock and non-vested restricted stock units only in the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding of the diluted
net earnings per common share calculation, using the treasury stock
method, if the effect is dilutive. Such revisions were immaterial.
(3) In calculating diluted net earnings per common share, the
Company's calculation of the diluted weighted average number of
common shares for 2007 and 2006 provides for (1) the effect of
conversion of the Company's 3% convertible senior notes due June 2033
due to the application of Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue
No. 04-08, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted
Earnings per Share," (2) the effect of assumed issuance of 18 million
shares of common stock reserved for the Company's previously
announced asbestos settlement, which has been discussed in the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30,
2007, (3) the exercise of dilutive stock options, net of assumed
treasury stock repurchases and (4) the effect of non-vested
restricted stock and non-vested restricted stock units using the
treasury stock method, if the effect is dilutive.
