Items of Note for the Fourth Quarter of 2015:
- Adjusted EBITDA2 of $79 million, a record quarter;
- Adjusted EBITDA margin2 of 14.4 percent, up 220 basis points year-over-year; highest quarterly EBITDA margin achieved in past 8 years;

Items of Note for 2016 Guidance:
- Modest net revenue growth of approximately 1 percent, with about 4 percent constant currency growth offset by expected 3 percent negative foreign currency translation;
- Adjusted diluted EPS plan of $2.40 to $2.60, an increase of approximately 15 percent versus the 2015 fiscal year;

- 2020 strategic plan to be unveiled at upcoming investor day on February 3, 2016, at Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York.
Fiscal 2016 Guidance:
We are introducing earnings guidance for the 2016 fiscal year. We expect net revenue of about $2.1 billion for the full year, which represents approximately 4 percent constant currency growth, offset by approximately 3 percent in expected negative foreign currency translation. Solid growth is planned for the Asia Pacific and Construction Products segments – the Asia Pacific region benefits from a full year of the acquired TONSAN business. The EIMEA and Americas Adhesives segments also are expected to return to low single-digit constant currency growth. Our target for full-year adjusted EBITDA is about $290 million, with a full-year EBITDA margin of about 14 percent. The primary driver of the EBITDA increase will be improvements in operational efficiency across all segments and the carryover benefit of lower raw material costs experienced in the second half of 2015. Based on our current plan for the geographic mix of our earnings, our core tax rate is expected to be 33 percent in 2016. We plan capital expenditures of about $60 million in 2016. The most significant capital projects for the year include the completion of our network expansion and upgrade for the Construction Products segment and the completion of our new greenfield site for adhesives production in Indonesia. Finally, we expect diluted EPS in a range of $2.40 to $2.60, which excludes non-recurring items, an improvement of 15 percent at the mid-point versus the 2015 fiscal year.
We have scheduled an Investor Event for February 3, 2016, in New York (also webcast). At that time, we will provide a comprehensive update on current business conditions as well as introduce a refreshed strategic plan looking forward to 2020.
Fourth Quarter 2015 Results:
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $25.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, versus net income of $10.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in last year’s fourth quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.691, up about 8 percent versus the prior year’s adjusted result of $0.641.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $548.1 million, up 0.1 percent versus the fourth quarter of 2014. Higher volume and higher average selling prices positively impacted net revenue growth by 4.8 and 0.2 percentage points, respectively. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted net revenue growth by 4.9 percentage points. Constant currency revenue grew by 5.0 percent year-over-year.
Adjusted gross profit margin3 was up 390 basis points versus the prior year, driven primarily by the benefit of effective price management and raw material cost management. Adjusted SG&A expense4 was up about 13 percent versus last year primarily due to the SG&A added by the TONSAN acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA2 in the fourth quarter was $79.2 million and 14.4 percent of adjusted net revenue5, up 18 percent and 220 basis points, respectively, from the prior year.
“We made solid progress on our path of continuous improvement in financial and operational results,” said Jim Owens, H.B. Fuller president and chief executive officer. “We met our revenue and profit expectations in the final quarter of the year, delivering EBITDA dollars at an all-time high. EBITDA margin was at 14.4 percent and all four of our segments exceeded 10 percent. Cash flow performance remained strong. Overall it was a year of building momentum with Europe strengthening each quarter, Tonsan integrating well and growing as planned and the Americas beginning to rebound from revenue declines caused by last year’s SAP issues. For 2016 our focus will be to build positive growth in our core Americas and EIMEA operating segments, while continuing to deliver the margin improvements we have committed to as part of our strategic plan. We are optimistic that the positive momentum created in 2015 will continue into 2016.”
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow:
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, we had cash totaling $119 million and total debt of $723 million. This compares to third quarter 2015 cash and debt levels of $86 million and $728 million, respectively. Sequentially, net debt was down by $38 million. Cash flow from operations was positive $57 million in the fourth quarter and $211 million for the year-to-date. Capital expenditures were $10 million in the fourth quarter and $59 million for the year.
Fiscal Year 2015 Results:
Income from continuing operations for the 2015 fiscal year was $88.4 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, versus income from continuing operations of $50.2 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, in the 2014 fiscal year. Adjusted total diluted earnings per share in the 2015 fiscal year were $2.171, down versus the prior year’s result of $2.331. Lower revenue in the Americas, the adverse impact of foreign exchange rates, high operating costs in our EIMEA segment and a higher core tax rate were key drivers of the year-over-year decline in adjusted diluted EPS. These negative factors were mostly offset by the successful integration of the TONSAN business and effective price and raw material cost management.
Net revenue for the 2015 fiscal year was $2,083.7 million, down 1.0 percent versus the 2014 fiscal year. Higher volume and higher average selling prices positively impacted net revenue growth by 4.5 and 0.5 percentage points, respectively. Constant currency revenue grew by 5.0 percent year-over-year. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted net revenue growth by 6.0 percentage points, or about $125 million in the 2015 fiscal year.
Adjusted gross profit margin for the year was up 160 basis points to 27.7 percent, driven primarily by the benefit of effective price management and raw material cost management, offset somewhat by foreign currency translation and excess costs associated with the continuous improvement phase of the EIMEA business integration project. Adjusted SG&A expense was up 5 percent versus the prior year, but down nearly 3 percent when adjusting for the additional SG&A expense added from TONSAN. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.8 percent, up 100 basis points versus the 2014 fiscal year.
