SODASTREAM REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2015 RESULTS

 

AIRPORT CITY, Israel – August 5, 2015 - SodaStream International Ltd. (NASDAQ: SODA), the leading manufacturer of home beverage carbonation systems, announced today its results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015.

 

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, on an adjusted basis*

·Adjusted revenue was $101.7 million compared to $141.2 million in the second quarter 2014; Adjusted revenue on a constant currency basis was $118.6 million
·Adjusted operating income was $4.5 million compared to $11.2 million in the second quarter 2014; Adjusted operating income on a constant currency bases was $9.0 million.
·Adjusted EBITDA was $8.9 million compared to $14.5 million in the second quarter 2014
·Adjusted net income was $3.5 million compared to $9.2 million in the second quarter 2014
·Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.17 compared to $0.43 in the second quarter 2014
·CO2 refills reached an all-time quarterly record of 6.9 million

 

*Adjusted revenue, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-IFRS financial measures that eliminate the effect of restructuring costs, which include $2.6 million of pre-tax charges incurred as part of the Company’s restructuring and growth plan announced on October 29, 2014. The charges were related to activities associated with discontinued products, which decreased revenue by $1.8 million and increased cost of revenue by $0.3 million. An additional expense of $0.5 million was associated with the transition to the new plant in Southern Israel which increased cost of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before financial income, income tax, depreciation and amortization, and further eliminates the effect of restructuring costs.

 

“Our second quarter performance was in-line with our expectations. As we previously discussed, the first half of 2015 would be a challenging period due to implementation of our global restructuring and growth plan combined with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. That said, we are proud to have achieved an all-time record of CO2 refills, which is a testimony of our consumers’ loyalty and our overall Q2 performance masks the ongoing strength of our business in key markets led by Germany, Switzerland and Austria” said Daniel Birnbaum, Chief Executive Officer of SodaStream. “We are making tremendous progress toward repositioning as a “water brand” behind a health and wellness positioning. Our new portfolio of better-for-you sparkling water flavors is currently rolling out to retailers around the world and we are testing a new marketing campaign “Sparkling Waters – Made by You”, including TV in several cities in the United States. At the same time the consolidation of our production activities into our new state-of-the-art plant in Lehavim continues ahead of schedule. We are confident that our new strategic direction supported by a terrific and unique product portfolio and marketing plan, will fuel increased household penetration and user activity and deliver sustainable growth and increased profitability in the years ahead.”

The decrease in Adjusted revenue compared to the second quarter 2014 was mainly due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates which reduced revenue by $16.9 million. Since the same period a year ago, several foreign currencies have weakened versus the U.S. dollar including the Euro by 19%, the Australian Dollar by 17% and the Swedish Krona by 22%. Second quarter 2015 results also reflect lower demand for sparkling water makers and flavors mainly in the U.S. and France.

 

Gross margin for the second quarter 2015 (before the impact of restructuring costs) was 50.3% compared to 50.5% for the same period in 2014. Second quarter 2015 gross margin benefitted from higher share of CO2 refills in product mix, offset by the negative impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates versus the same period last year.

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter 2015 totaled $35.1 million, or 34.5% of Adjusted revenue, compared to $46.9 million, or 33.3% for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower advertising and promotion expenses, which decreased $7.5 million to 13.3% of Adjusted revenue from 14.9% of revenue in the same period in 2014, and lower distribution costs due to the lower sales volume. Selling and marketing expenses also decreased versus the same period last year due to the changes in foreign currency rates, mainly the weakening of the Euro/U.S. Dollar average exchange rate by 19% and the Israeli Shekel/U.S. Dollar average exchange rate by 11% versus the same period last year.

 

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2015 were $11.5 million, or 11.3% of Adjusted revenue, compared to $13.1 million, or 9.3% of revenue in the comparable period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in share-based payment expenses.

 

Operating income (before the impact of restructuring costs) decreased to $4.5 million, or 4.5% of Adjusted revenue, compared to $11.2 million, or 8.0% of revenue, in the second quarter 2014. The decrease in operating income was driven primarily by the decrease in revenue and the negative impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, offset by lower operating expenses, mainly a reduction in advertising and promotion expenses.

 

The net negative impact on operating income from changes in foreign currency exchange rates in comparison with the same period in 2014 was approximately $4.5 million.

 

Net financial expense was $0.6 million compared to net financial expense of $0.9 million in the same period in 2014. Financial expense in the second quarter 2015 was derived mainly from an increase in the value of Euro denominated bank loans.

 

Tax expense was $0.4 million with an effective tax rate of 29.5%, compared to $1.1 million with an effective tax rate of 10.6% in the second quarter 2014.

 

Balance Sheet Review

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2015 were $33.4 million compared to $46.9 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to the investment in the Company’s new production facility.

 

The Company had $39.3 million of bank debt at June 30, 2015 mainly for financing the investment in its new production facility, compared to $43.9 million of bank debt at December 31, 2014.

Working capital at June 30, 2015, after the impact of the restructuring, decreased by 7.9% to $146.2 million compared to $158.8 million at December 31, 2014. Inventories at June 30, 2015 decreased by 7.0% to $128.8 million compared to $138.4 million at December 31, 2014.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

This press release contains certain non-IFRS measures, including Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted diluted EPS”).

 

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before financial expense (income), income tax, depreciation and amortization, and further eliminates the effect of restructuring costs. Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share eliminate the effect of restructuring costs.

 

The Company believes that the Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted EPS, as described above, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted diluted EPS exclude restructuring costs because most of this charge is a non-cash expense that does not reflect the performance of the Company’s underlying business and operations. Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting financial expenses (income), net), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates) and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively).

 

These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with IFRS, but should not be considered a substitute for the IFRS results. The non-IFRS measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the IFRS results.

Chief Financial Officer’s Commentary

Second Quarter 2015

 

Restructuring

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $2.6 million as part of the restructuring and growth plan it announced on October 29, 2014. $2.1 million was associated with discontinued products, which decreased revenue by $1.8 million and increased cost of revenue by $0.3 million and $0.5 million was associated with the transition to the new plant in Southern Israel and increased cost of revenue.

Revenue

Second quarter revenue before the impact of the restructuring decreased 28.0% to $101.7 million from $141.2 million in the second quarter 2014. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted revenue by $16.9 million, primarily reflecting the weakening of the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate by 19%, the Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar by 17% and the Swedish Krona/U.S. Dollar by 22% versus the same period last year.

The following table sets forth each region’s contribution to total Adjusted revenue and a comparison with the second quarter 2014(in percentage):

 

Region   Portion of the Adjusted revenue in three months ended  
    June 30, 2014     June 30, 2015  
The Americas     29.0 %     22.7 %
Western Europe     54.9 %     64.0 %
Asia-Pacific     8.7 %     8.9 %
Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa     7.4 %     4.4 %
Total     100.0 %     100.0 %

 

The Americas revenue decrease was mainly due to lower demand for sparkling water makers and flavors in the U.S., which is partially due to the product transition as part of the company’s current brand repositioning and growth plan. The decrease in Western Europe revenue was mainly due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the foreign currency exchange impact, Western Europe revenue increased approximately 2% due to increased sales in Germany, Austria and Switzerland partially offset by declines in France and the Nordics. Asia-Pacific revenue decreased primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates combined with lower sales in South Korea. The decrease in CEMEA revenue was due to lower sales in Czech Republic.

 

Sparkling water maker unit sales decreased 37% to 491,000 from 785,000 in the same period in 2014 mainly due to decreases in the U.S and France partially offset by increases in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. CO2 refill unit sales increased 7% to a record of 6.9 million and flavor unit sales decreased 45% to 5.1 million.

 

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the second quarter 2015 (before the impact of restructuring costs) was 50.3% compared to 50.5% for the same period in 2014. Second quarter 2015 gross margin was negatively impacted primarily by the unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates offset by higher share of CO2 refills in product mix.

 

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter 2015 totaled $35.1 million, or 34.5% of Adjusted revenue, compared to $46.9 million, or 33.3% for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in the expenses was primarily attributable to lower advertising and promotion expenses, mainly in the U.S., which decreased 61.0% compared to the second quarter 2015, and lower distribution costs due to the lower sales volume. Selling and marketing expenses also decreased versus the same period last year due to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates, mainly the weakening of the Euro/U.S. Dollar rate and the Israeli Shekel/U.S. Dollar rate versus the same period last year.

 

Selling expenses within sales and marketing amounted to $21.6 million, or 21.3% of Adjusted revenue, compared to $25.9 million or 18.4% of revenue in the second quarter 2014. Advertising and promotion expenses decreased $7.5 million to $13.5 million, or 13.3% of Adjusted revenue in the quarter, compared to $21.0 million or 14.9% of revenue in the second quarter 2014.

 

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2015 were $11.5 million, or 11.3% of Adjusted revenue, compared to $13.1 million, or 9.3% of revenue in the second quarter 2014. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in share-based payment expenses.

 

Operating Income

Operating income (before the impact of restructuring costs) decreased to $4.5 million, or 4.5% of Adjusted revenue, compared to $11.2 million, or 8.0% of revenue, in the second quarter 2014. Operating income was negatively impacted from changes in foreign currency exchange rates by approximately $4.5 million.

 

Tax Expense

Tax expense was $0.4 million with an effective tax rate of 29.5%, compared to $1.1 million with an effective tax rate of 10.6% in the second quarter 2014.

 

Net Income

Second quarter 2015 net income on an IFRS basis was $1.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, based on 21.1 million weighted shares outstanding compared to net income on IFRS basis of $9.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, based on 21.3 million weighted shares outstanding in the second quarter 2014.

Earnings per Share

Second quarter 2015 Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.17 compared to $0.43 in the second quarter 2014.

 

Foreign Currency Impact

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates ("FX") had a negative impact on revenue of $16.9 million mainly due to the said weakening in the Euro, the Australian dollar and the Swedish Krona exchange rate against the U.S. dollar compared to their rates in the second quarter of 2014. Conversely, FX had a positive impact on cost of revenue and operating expenses during the second quarter 2015, as approximately 76% of costs and expenses in the second quarter were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, mainly the Israeli Shekel, which decreased in value by 10.6% against the U.S. dollar compared to its average rate in the same period in 2014. As a result, FX had an overall net negative impact of approximately $4.5 million on operating income.

 

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits of $33.4 million compared to $46.9 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to the investments in the Company’s new production facility. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $39.3 million of bank debt mainly for financing the investments in the new production facility, compared to $43.9 million of bank debt as of December 31, 2014.

 

Working capital at June 30, 2015, after the impact of the restructuring, decreased 7.9% to $146.2 million compared to $158.8 million at December 31, 2014. Inventories at June 30, 2015 decreased 7.0% to $128.8 million compared to $138.4 million at December 31, 2014

 

First Half 2015

 

Restructuring

During the first half of 2015, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $4.9 million as part of the restructuring and growth plan it announced on October 29, 2014 relating to activities associated with discontinued products, which decreased revenue by $2.8 million and increased cost of revenue by $1.6 million, and $0.5 million associated with the transition to the new plant in Southern Israel.

The decrease in Western Europe revenue was mainly due to the impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the foreign currency exchange impact, Western Europe revenue increased approximately 3.6% due to increased sales in Germany, Austria and Switzerland partially offset by declines in France and the Nordics. Asia-Pacific revenue decreased primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and a decrease in sales in South Korea. The decrease in CEMEA revenue was due to lower sales in Czech Republic and Israel.

 

Sparkling water maker unit sales decreased 27% to 1.0 million from 1.4 million in the same period in 2014 mainly due to the decrease in the U.S and France partially offset by an increase in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. CO2 refill unit sales increased 5% to a record of 13.0 million and flavor unit sales decreased 44% to 10.0 million. 

 

Gross Margin

First half gross margin (before the impact of restructuring costs) was 51.2% this year compared to 51.3% in the prior year.
