SODASTREAM REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2015 RESULTS

 

AIRPORT CITY, Israel – November 4, 2015 - SodaStream International Ltd. (NASDAQ: SODA), the leading manufacturer of home beverage carbonation systems, announced today its results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.

 

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, on an adjusted basis*

·Revenue was $110.0 million compared to $125.9 million in the third quarter 2014; Revenue on a constant currency basis was $126.0 million
·Adjusted operating income was $5.4 million compared to $8.9 million in the third quarter 2014; Adjusted operating income on a constant currency basis was $10.5 million.
·Adjusted EBITDA was $9.7 million compared to $13.7 million in the third quarter 2014; Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $14.8 million.
·Adjusted net income was $4.7 million compared to $9.5 million in the third quarter 2014
·Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.22 compared to $0.45 in the third quarter 2014
·CO2 refills reached an all-time quarterly record of 7.0 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 $2.5 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 inventory and fixed assets by $1.9 million and increased cost of revenue by $1.9 million. An additional expense of $0.6 million was associated with the transition to the new Lehavim 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. Reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures included in this press release to the IFRS results are included at the end of this press release.

 

 

“Our operating results were similar to the year ago period on a constant currency basis as the growth plan we announced a year ago continues to gain traction. Our recent performance included a number of highlights that underscore the strength of our brand and business model” said Daniel Birnbaum, Chief Executive Officer of SodaStream. “Third quarter CO2 refills increased 10% to an all-time record 7 million, a great indication that our global user base is increasing consumption. We believe usage rates will continue to grow as existing and new consumers embrace our repositioning as a healthy “water brand” provided by our enhanced better-for-you product portfolio, which we recently launched in the U.S. and other select countries. As we accelerate production in our new, state-of-the-art plant in Lehavim, and continue the launch of our new Waters line and strategic repositioning, we believe we are poised to start delivering improved financial results and greater shareholder value beginning in 2016.”

The decrease in revenue year-over-year was mainly due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates which reduced revenue by $16.0 million. Since the same period a year ago, several foreign currencies have weakened versus the U.S. dollar, including the Euro by 17%, the Australian Dollar by 22% and the Swedish Krona by 18%.

 

Gross margin for the third quarter 2015 (before the impact of restructuring costs) was 48.4% compared to 51.2% for the same period in 2014. Third quarter 2015 gross margin was negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates versus the same period last year, partially offset by higher share of CO2 refills in the product mix.

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter 2015 totaled $36.0 million, or 32.8% of revenue, compared to $41.6 million, or 33.1% for the comparable period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower distribution costs driven by lower sales volume. Sales and marketing expenses also decreased versus the same period last year due to changes in foreign currency rates, mainly the weakening of the Euro and the Australian dollar.

 

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2015 were $11.8 million, or 10.7% of revenue, compared to $13.9 million, or 11.1% 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) was $5.4 million, or 4.9% of revenue, compared to $8.9 million, or 7.1% of revenue, in the third quarter 2014. The decrease in operating income was driven primarily by negative impact on revenue from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, offset by lower operating expenses, mainly a reduction in sales and marketing 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 $5.1 million.

 

Net financial income was $0.1 million compared to net financial income of $1.8 million in the same period in 2014. Financial income in the third quarter 2015 was mainly due to a reduction of liabilities in Israeli Shekels following its devaluation against the U.S. dollar.

 

Tax expense was $0.8 million with an effective tax rate of 26.0%, compared to $1.2 million with an effective tax rate of 11.5% in the third quarter 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to the geographical allocation of profit before income tax.

 

Balance Sheet Review

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2015 were $43.5 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, partially offset by cash generated from operations.

 

The Company had $47.6 million of bank debt at September 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 September 30, 2015 decreased by 12.9% to $138.3 million compared to $158.8 million at December 31, 2014 largely due to the impact of the restructuring. Inventories at September 30, 2015 decreased by 12.4% to $121.2 million compared to $138.4 million at December 31, 2014.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

The 6-K-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

Third Quarter 2015

 

Restructuring

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $2.5 million in cost of revenues as part of the restructuring and growth plan it announced on October 29, 2014. An expense of $1.9 million was related to activities associated with discontinued products, and additional expense of $0.6 million was associated with the transition to the new plant in Southern Israel which increased cost of revenue.

Revenue

Third quarter revenue decreased 13.0% to $110.0 million from $125.9 million in the third quarter 2014. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted revenue by $16.0 million, primarily reflecting the weakening of the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate by 17%, the Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar by 22% and the Swedish Krona/U.S. Dollar by 18% versus the same period last year.

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

 

Region  Portion of the revenue in

   September 30,
2014
   September 30,
2015
 
The Americas   23.4%   23.8%
Western Europe   59.3%   62.3%
Asia-Pacific   10.5%   8.2%
Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa   6.8%   5.7%
Total   100.0%   100.0%

 

The revenue decrease in the Americas was mainly due to lower demand for sparkling water makers in the U.S. 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 by approximately 9% due to increased sales in Germany, Austria, Italy, Benelux 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 Australia, partially offset by increased sales in Japan. The decrease in CEMEA revenue was due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Sparkling water maker unit sales decreased 22% to 639,000 from 818,000 in the same period in 2014 mainly due to decreases in the U.S and France partially offset by increases in Germany, Austria and Italy. CO2 refill unit sales increased 10% to a record of 7.0 million and flavor unit sales decreased 12% to 6.7 million.

 

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the third quarter 2015 (before the impact of restructuring costs) was 48.4% compared to 51.2% for the same period in 2014. Third quarter 2015 gross margin was negatively impacted primarily by the unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher share of CO2 refills in product mix.

 

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter 2015 totaled $36.0 million, or 32.8% of revenue, compared to $41.6 million, or 33.1% of revenue for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in expenses was primarily attributable to lower distribution costs compared to the third quarter 2014 due to the lower sales volumes. Selling and marketing expenses also decreased versus the same period last year due to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates led by the weakening of the Euro/U.S. dollar.

 

Selling expenses within sales and marketing amounted to $20.3 million, or 18.4% of revenue, compared to $26.0 million or 20.6% of revenue in the third quarter 2014. Advertising and promotion expenses within sales and marketing increased slightly to $15.8 million, or 14.3% of revenue in the quarter, compared to $15.7 million or 12.5% of revenue in the third quarter 2014.

 

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2015 were $11.8 million, or 10.7% of revenue, compared to $13.9 million, or 11.1% of revenue in the third 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 $5.4 million, or 4.9% of revenue, compared to $8.9 million, or 7.1% of revenue, in the third quarter 2014. Operating income was negatively impacted mainly from changes in foreign currency exchange rates by approximately $5.1 million. Adjusted operating income on a constant currency basis was $10.5 million or 8.3% of revenue reflecting theoretical increase of 18% compared to the same period last year.

 

Tax Expense

Tax expense was $0.8 million with an effective tax rate of 26.0%, compared to $1.2 million with an effective tax rate of 11.5% in the third quarter 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to the geographical allocation of profit before income tax.

 

IFRS Net Income

Third quarter 2015 net income on an IFRS basis was $2.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, based on 21.1 million weighted shares outstanding compared to net income on IFRS basis of $9.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, based on 21.2 million weighted shares outstanding in the third quarter 2014.

Adjusted Net Income

Third quarter 2015 Adjusted net income was $4.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.

 

Foreign Currency Impact

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates ("FX") had a negative impact of $16.0 million on revenue mainly due to the weakening in the Euro, the Australian dollar and the Swedish Krona exchange rate against the U.S. dollar compared to their average rates in the third quarter of 2014. Conversely, FX had a positive impact on cost of revenue and operating expenses during the third quarter 2015, as approximately 75% of costs and expenses in the third quarter were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, mainly the Israeli Shekel, which value decreased by 8% 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 $5.1 million on operating income.

 

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits of $43.5 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 September 30, 2015, the Company had $47.6 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 September 30, 2015, after the impact of the restructuring, decreased 12.9% to $138.3 million compared to $158.8 million at December 31, 2014. Inventories at September 30, 2015 decreased 12.4% to $121.2 million compared to $138.4 million at December 31, 2014

 

Nine months 2015

 

Restructuring

During the nine months of 2015, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $7.3 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 $3.5 million. An additional increase in cost of revenue of $1.0 million is associated with the transition to the new plant in Southern Israel.

The revenue decrease in the Americas 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 revenue in Western Europe was mainly due to the impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Excluding the foreign currency exchange impact, Western Europe revenue increased approximately 5.5% 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 Australia and South Korea partially offset by increased sales in Japan. The decrease in CEMEA revenue was due to lower sales in Czech Republic and Israel.

 

Sparkling water maker unit sales decreased 25% to 1.6 million from 2.2 million in the same period in 2014 mainly due to a decrease in the U.S and France partially offset by an increase in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. CO2 refill unit sales increased 7% to a record of 20.0 million and flavor unit sales decreased 34% to 16.7 million. 

 

Gross Margin

Nine months gross margin (before the impact of restructuring costs) was 50.2% this year compared to 51.3% in the prior year.
