Harbinger Group Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results

Revenues Up 39%, Operating Income Increased 124% from Prior Year Period

Results Reflect Continued Success and Strong Trajectory Across All Operating Segments

HGI Board Authorized $50 Million Stock Repurchase Program Underscoring Commitment to Realizing and Building Long Term Value

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2013-- Harbinger Group Inc. ("HGI"; NYSE: HRG), a diversified holding company focused on acquiring and growing attractive businesses, today announced its consolidated results for the third quarter of Fiscal 2013 ended on June 30, 2013 (the "Fiscal 2013 Quarter"). The results include HGI's four segments:

  • Consumer Products, which consists of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (“Spectrum Brands”; NYSE: SPB);
  • Insurance, which includes Fidelity & Guaranty Life Holdings, Inc. (“FGL”) and Front Street Re, Ltd. ("FSR");
  • Energy, which includes the company's EXCO/HGI Joint Venture (the "EXCO/HGI JV"); and
  • Financial Services, which includes Salus Capital Partners, LLC (“Salus”) and Five Island Asset Management, LLC ("Five Island").

Philip Falcone, HGI Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “HGI performance this quarter demonstrates the value of our diversified holding company model and the strength of our underlying operating subsidiaries, as they continue to execute on their business strategies. HGI remains well positioned for the future and we look forward to continuing to grow the powerful platform we have built and increasing shareholder value.”

Omar Asali, President of HGI, said, “We had a strong quarter operationally as evidenced by the 39% increase in revenues and a 124% increase in operating income. Operating income at our Consumer Products segment increased by 22% as a result of the continued positive performance of Spectrum Brands, including the successful integration of the Hardware and Home Improvement business ("HHI"). The Insurance segment generated operating income of just over $78.5 million, compared to a small loss in the Fiscal 2012 quarter. Additionally, both the Energy segment, which we established in February, and Financial Services continue to ramp up nicely. We see significant value in each of our operating businesses and strong growth potential, and we expect that HGI will continue to benefit from their success."

Separately, HGI announced today that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $50 million of HGI common stock. This stock repurchase program underscores HGI's ability to act opportunistically and capitalize on the significant value it sees in HGI and HGI's underlying businesses.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results Highlights:

  • HGI recorded total revenues of $1.4 billion for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, an increase of $398.4 million, or 39.4% from the third quarter of Fiscal 2012 (the "Fiscal 2012 Quarter").
  • Consolidated operating income was $182.6 million in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, compared to $81.5 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, an increase of $101.1 million (124.0%).
  • Net income attributable to common and participating preferred stockholders increased to $91.6 million, or $0.45 per common share attributable to controlling interest ($0.25 diluted), compared to a net loss of $149.1 million, or $1.07 per common share attributable to controlling interest ($1.07 diluted), in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter.
  • Fiscal 2013 Quarter results include a $52.6 million gain from the change in the fair value of the equity conversion feature of preferred stock which was the result of HGI's stock price decreasing 8.7% from $8.26 to $7.54 per share during the quarter; $20.4 million of realized investment gains in the Insurance segment; and tax expense of $36.8 million.
  • Spectrum Brands paid a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.25 per share on May 14, 2013, resulting in $7.6 million in dividends to HGI. Through the nine months ended June 30, 2013, HGI received dividends of approximately $108.7 million from its subsidiaries, including $93.0 million, $15.0 million and $0.7 million from FGL, Spectrum Brands and Salus, respectively. The FGL dividend of $93.0 million includes the special dividend of $73.0 million paid out of the proceeds from the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the FGL notes.
  • HGI ended the quarter with corporate cash and short-term investments of approximately $122.0 million (primarily held at HGI and HGI Funding, LLC), which supports HGI's business strategy and growth of existing businesses.

Detail on Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results:

HGI's consolidated revenues for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter were $1.4 billion, compared to $1.0 billion for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the HHI acquisition in the Consumer Products segment, and to a lesser extent, realized and unrealized gains on derivative instruments, contributions from the newly formed EXCO/HGI JV, and new business activity in the Financial Services segment.

HGI's consolidated operating income for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter increased by $101.1 million, or 124.0%, to $182.6 million from $81.5 million for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The increase was primarily the result of favorable investment gains in the Insurance segment, the HHI acquisition in the Consumer Products segment, and new business activity in the Energy and Financial Services segments. The increase was offset in part by increased salary and overhead costs in the Corporate segment to support growth in the business.

HGI reported a net income attributable to common stockholders of $91.6 million, or $0.45 per common share attributable to controlling interest ($0.25 diluted), compared to a net loss of $149.1 million, or $1.07 per common share attributable to controlling interest ($1.07 diluted), in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter.

HGI's Fiscal 2013 Quarter results include a $52.6 million gain from the change in the fair value of the equity conversion feature of preferred stock, which was the result of HGI's stock price decreasing 8.7% from $8.26 to $7.54 per share during the quarter and tax expense of $36.8 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.7%.

Consumer Products:

Consumer Products net sales for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter increased $265.0 million, or 32.1%, to $1.09 billion from $824.8 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The increase was primarily due to sales from the HHI acquisition. The increase was offset in part by a decline in household insect control sales in the Home and Garden product line due to the late arrival of warm weather that resulted in a delay to the major selling season for these products; the planned exit from marginally profitable products in small appliances, largely in North America; and lower consumer battery sales resulting from the non-recurrence of promotions and inventory management at key retailers.

In its second full quarter since the acquisition by Spectrum Brands on December 17, 2012, the hardware and home improvement products category recorded net sales of $285.2 million, an increase of 12.7% compared to $253.0 million as if combined with the Consumer Products segment in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The revenue growth was primarily driven by double-digit improvements in the product category's U.S. residential security and plumbing businesses. The hardware and home improvement product category recorded net income, as adjusted, of $40.1 in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the hardware and home improvement product category in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter approached 18.6%. The integration of HHI is on track and proceeding well.

Gross profit, representing Consumer Products' net sales minus its cost of goods sold, for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter was $382.8 million compared to $291.7 million for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The HHI acquired products contributed $101.4 million in gross profit. Spectrum Brands' gross profit margin, representing gross profit as a percentage of its net sales, for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter decreased slightly to 35.1% from 35.4% for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The decrease in gross profit margin was driven by unfavorable product mix and increased product costs.

Consumer Products operating income increased $20.5 million to $115.7 million in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter compared to $95.2 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The increase was due to the HHI acquisition contributing $39.4 million of operating income, which was partially offset by additional selling, acquisition, operating and general expenses from the inclusion of HHI and a decrease in the global batteries and appliances businesses profit due to decreased sales; unfavorable product mix and pricing pressures in the U.S.

Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter was $188.5 million, an increase of 1.9% compared to $185.0 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, including the HHI acquisition in the prior year period on a pro forma basis, reflecting higher sales, synergy benefits and cost reduction initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products as a percentage of Consumer Products net sales improved slightly to 17.3% versus 17.2% in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, including the HHI acquisition in the prior year period on a pro forma basis. Legacy Spectrum Brands' Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products of $135.5 million in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter represented the eleventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year adjusted EBITDA growth, starting with the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products is a non-GAAP measure that excludes interest, income tax expense, restructuring and related charges, acquisition and integration related charges, and depreciation and amortization expenses - see “Non-GAAP Measures” and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products to the Consumer Product segment's operating income below.

For more information on HGI's Consumer Products segment, interested parties should read Spectrum Brands' announcements and public filings, including Spectrum Brands' third quarter earnings announcement, by visiting Spectrum Brands' filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

Insurance:

The insurance segment recorded annuity sales, which for GAAP purposes are recorded as deposit liabilities (i.e. contract holder funds), for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter of $270.8 million compared to $468.0 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. On a sequential basis, annuity sales increased 11% as compared to the Fiscal 2013 second quarter. During the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, FGL refreshed its flagship Prosperity Elite fixed deferred index annuity and launched a new traditional fixed annuity, Simplicity Elite, targeted at solving income distribution needs for seniors.

The insurance segment reported operating income of $78.5 million for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter versus an operating loss of $1.5 million for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. During the Fiscal 2013 Quarter the revaluation of liabilities to reflect increased interest rates resulted in an increase in operating income of $52.3 million quarter over quarter. In the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, a one-time charge in connection with FGL's use of the U.S. Social Security Administration's Death Master File to identify potential life insurance claims reduced operating earnings by $11.0 million.

The segment recorded adjusted operating income of $23.7 million (pre-tax) for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, an increase of $20.3 million from $3.4 million for the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The increase is primarily due to the absence of the one-time $11.0 million net increase in the claims liability recorded in the prior year quarter as referenced above. Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP insurance industry measure that eliminates the impact of realized investment gains (losses), the effect of interest rate changes on the fixed indexed annuities ("FIA") embedded derivative liability, and the effects of acquisition-related reinsurance transactions - see “Non-GAAP Measures” and a reconciliation of adjusted operating income to the Insurance segment's operating income below.

FGL has approximately $17.4 billion of assets under management as of June 30, 2013, compared to $18.1 billion as of March 31, 2013. The investment portfolio continues to be conservatively positioned in its credit and duration profile and well matched against its liabilities.

As of June 30, 2013, HGI's Insurance segment had a net GAAP book value of $1,110.3 million (excluding AOCI of $175.4 million). As of June 30, 2013, the Insurance segment's investment portfolio had $469.3 million in net unrealized gains on a GAAP basis.

Estimated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio at June 30, 2013 remained in excess of 350%. FGL's statutory total adjusted capital at June 30, 2013 was approximately $1,167.0 million.

In July, Standard & Poor's Rating Services upgraded the FGL insurance operating subsidiaries to investment grade recognizing the businesses' improved capital position, strong operating performance and competitive positions.

Energy:

Oil and natural gas revenues were $37.8 million for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter. Operating income for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter was $4.8 million. Energy segment adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA-Energy") for the Fiscal 2013 Quarter was $16.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA-Energy is a non-GAAP measure that excludes non-recurring other operating items, accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations, non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, non-cash write-downs of assets, and stock-based compensation - see “Non-GAAP Measures” and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA-Energy to the Energy segment's operating income below.

For the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, the Energy segment's production net was 119 MBbl of oil, 126 MBbl of natural gas liquids and 5,953.0 Mmcf of natural gas. For the period from inception to June 30, 2013, the Energy segment's production was 177 MBbl of oil, 180 MBbl of natural gas liquids and 8,726 Mmcf of natural gas.

Financial Services:

Financial Services reported operating income of $4.1 million in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, compared to $0.5 million during the Fiscal 2012 Quarter. The growth in operating income was the result of an increase in asset-backed loans originated by Salus, from $145.5 million in the Fiscal 2012 Quarter, to $586.4 million in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter. In the Fiscal 2013 Quarter, Salus closed on seven transactions, bringing the total number of deals since inception to 40 and cumulative committed capital to over $800 million.

Also contributing to operating income in the Fiscal 2013 Quarter was an increase in asset management fees earned from Five Island, a recently formed, wholly-owned asset management company. The infrastructure and operational build out of Five Island continued during the Fiscal 2013 Quarter with Eli Ullum, joining as Portfolio Manager on July 8, 2013.

Non-GAAP Measures

Management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included herein.

Our Consumer Products segment uses adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products”), a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products is significant to gaining an understanding of Spectrum Brands' results as it is frequently used by the financial community to provide insight into an organization's operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products can also be a useful measure of our Consumer Product segment's ability to service debt and is one of the measures used for determining Spectrum Brand's debt covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA-Consumer Products excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period.

Our Insurance segment uses Adjusted Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure frequently used throughout the insurance industry. Adjusted Operating Income is calculated by adjusting the reported insurance segment operating income to eliminate the impact of net investment gains, excluding gains and losses on derivatives and including net other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in operations, the effect of changes in the rates used to discount the FIA embedded derivative liability and the effects of acquisition-related reinsurance transactions. While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of our Insurance Segment, market conditions impacting these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the business. Accordingly, we believe using a measure which excludes their impact is effective in analyzing the trends of our Insurance segment's operations.

Our Energy segment uses adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA-Energy”), a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA-Energy is significant to gaining an understanding of the EXCO/HGI Partnership's results as it is frequently used by the financial community and management to provide insight into an organization's operating trends and facilitates comparisons between peer companies, since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA-Energy excludes certain items that are unusual in nature or not comparable from period to period such as accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations, non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, non-cash write-downs of assets, and stock-based compensation.

While management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
