"We are pleased to deliver 10% organic growth and record third quarter revenues as customer demand remains robust across the majority of our end markets," stated James M. Loree, Stanley Black & Decker's CEO. "Our multi-year growth story remains compelling given the positive secular demand trends and unique opportunities ahead, which have been further enhanced by our recently-announced MTD and Excel acquisitions. We continue to invest in innovation, manufacturing automation, inventory and our supply chain to fuel our growth, and I am confident that our company is positioned for success and top-quartile performance as a world leading innovator with an elevated commitment to ESG.

"We are prioritizing meeting demand in a universally difficult supply chain environment and are actively addressing the inflationary trends impacting the business with new targeted pricing actions and increased productivity measures. I want to thank our 56,000 employees for their efforts that have enabled us to navigate the dynamic operating environment to serve our customers," concluded Loree.

3Q'21 Key Points:

Net sales for the quarter were $4.3 billion, up 11% versus prior year from volume (+8%), price (+2%) and currency (+1%).
The gross margin for the quarter was 32.6%. Excluding charges, gross margin* was 32.8%, down 310 basis points from prior year as volume, price, productivity and mix benefits from innovation were more than offset by accelerated commodity, transportation and labor inflation required to meet strong demand.
Growth investment was deployed across the businesses, with SG&A 21.1% of sales. Excluding charges, SG&A expenses* were 20.5% of sales, relatively consistent versus 2Q'21 and up from 18.3% in 3Q'20.
The tax rate was (0.1%). Excluding charges, tax rate* was 2.0% versus 17.8% in 3Q'20, due to a benefit associated with the Company's supply chain reorganization.
Working capital turns for the quarter were 5.7, down 1.3 turns versus prior year due to inventory investments to support the strong demand outlook and longer lead times related to the dynamic global supply chain.

Tools & Storage net sales increased 14% versus 3Q'20 driven by volume (+11%), price (+2%) and currency (+1%). All regions delivered organic growth with North America +9%, Europe +20% and emerging markets +28%. Demand was robust across all markets as the secular shifts related to the reconnection with the home and garden and eCommerce were amplified by our industry-leading innovation and strong professional demand. North America reflected retail growth as well as consistently strong commercial and industrial channels. Point-of-sale demand remained at robust levels in U.S. retail and channel inventory ended below historical levels. Europe experienced growth across all major geographies and the commercial, retail brick and mortar, and eCommerce channels. Emerging markets growth was pervasive across all regions and was led by strong professional demand. The Tools & Storage segment profit rate, excluding charges, was 15.7%, down from 21.5% in 3Q'20, as volume, price, productivity and benefits from innovation were more than offset by accelerating transit costs to meet strong demand, commodity inflation and new growth investments.
Industrial net sales expanded 1% versus 3Q'20 as price (+2%) and currency (+1%) were partially offset by volume (-1%) and an Oil & Gas product line divestiture (-1%). Engineered Fastening organic growth was down 1% as strong general industrial growth was offset by market-driven aerospace declines and lower automotive OEM production resulting from the global semiconductor shortage. Infrastructure organic revenues were up 7% as 16% growth in Attachment Tools was partially offset by lower pipeline project activity in Oil & Gas. The Industrial segment profit rate, excluding charges, was 7.9%, down versus 12.3% in 3Q'20, as the benefits from price and productivity were more than offset by commodity inflation, growth investments and volume declines in higher-margin automotive and aerospace fasteners.
Security net sales grew 5% versus 3Q'20 as volume (+7%), price (+1%), currency (+1%) and acquisitions (+1%) were partially offset by divestitures (-5%). North America organic growth was 12% driven by strong backlog conversion in commercial electronic security and growth within automatic doors and healthcare. Europe was positive organically led by data-driven product solutions in France which is one of the new Health and Safety growth opportunities. Order rates globally grew 14% in the third quarter resulting in the third consecutive record quarter-end executable backlog. The Security segment profit rate, excluding charges, was 9.2%, down versus the prior year rate of 11.0%, as price and volume gains were more than offset by higher labor costs, pandemic-related inefficiencies and growth investments.

Updated 2021 Outlook

The Company is updating its 2021 EPS outlook to $10.20 - $10.45 from $10.80 - $11.20 on a GAAP basis, and to $10.90 - $11.10 from $11.35 - $11.65 on an adjusted basis. Free cash flow is expected to approximate $1.1 - $1.3 billion due to an expectation for higher levels of inventory to support the strong demand and to serve our customers.

The following reflects the key assumption changes to the Company's prior EPS outlook:

Incremental $230 million in commodity, transit and labor inflation (-~$1.25)
Impact from currency (-~$0.15)
Lower tax rate and other below the line assumptions (+~$0.60)
Margin resiliency, incremental pricing actions and other cost control activity (+~$0.30)

The difference between 2021 GAAP and adjusted EPS guidance is $0.65 - $0.70, consisting of acquisition-related and other charges. These forecasted charges primarily relate to facility moves, deal and integration costs and functional transformation initiatives. GAAP guidance excludes charges associated with MTD and Excel which will be incorporated post closure. If the transactions close before year end, 2021 charges associated with inventory step-up, deal and integration costs are estimated to total $0.20 - $0.30.

Donald Allan Jr., President and CFO, commented, "Our updated full year 2021 guidance calls for organic revenue growth of 16% - 17% and, at the midpoint, adjusted EPS expansion of 22% versus prior year and 31% versus 2019. Our new round of price increases and surcharges to address the cost inflation that built rapidly in the third quarter will begin to offset higher costs exiting this year and provides the setup for higher margins and operating profit growth in 2022. We are maintaining our investment levels to support our growth catalysts, accelerate our margin resiliency initiatives and expand the supply chain to deliver significant revenue growth in 2022 and beyond.

"We continue to be focused on shareholder value creation as we drive organic growth and margin expansion while reshaping our portfolio of businesses through acquisitions such as MTD and Excel. We remain well-positioned to deliver above-market organic growth with operating leverage, resulting in strong free cash flow generation that will drive top-quartile shareholder returns over the long-term."

Acquisition-Related And Other Charges

Total pre-tax acquisition-related and other charges in 3Q'21 were $42.7 million, primarily related to functional transformation initiatives, deal costs, facility-related charges and restructuring. Gross profit included $5.0 million of these charges while SG&A included $23.8 million. Other, net and Restructuring included $8.1 million and $5.8 million of these charges, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Organic sales growth is defined as the difference between total current and prior year sales less the impact of companies acquired and divested in the past twelve months and any foreign currency impacts divided by prior year sales. Operating profit is defined as sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Management uses operating profit and its percentage of net sales as key measures to assess the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the related measures at the segment level. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners, and is useful information for investors. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company's common and preferred stock and business acquisitions, among other items. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by net income. The Non-GAAP statement of operations and business segment information, as reconciled to GAAP on pages 12 through 15, is considered relevant to aid analysis of the Company's profit and earnings results aside from the material impact of the acquisition-related and other charges.
