Donald Allan, Jr., Stanley Black & Decker's President & CEO, commented, "In the third quarter we continued to deliver gross margin improvements as well as robust cash generation, all as a result of solid execution against our operational priorities. While a weak consumer and automotive production backdrop impacted organic revenue, we capitalized on relative bright spots and delivered our sixth consecutive quarter of DEWALT growth as well as higher sales in aerospace fasteners.
"We remain focused on executing against areas primarily within our control: our supply chain transformation and accelerating share gain. This transformation continues to reshape our cost structure and fund new growth investments, which together are expected to further strengthen our powerful brands, accelerate innovation and enhance our in-market activation to capture the compelling long-term opportunities in our industry.
"Stanley Black & Decker is built on the strength of our people and culture, with an intensified focus on our core market leadership positions. With the execution of our strategy, we are positioning the Company to deliver higher levels of organic revenue growth*, profitability and cash flow to drive strong long-term shareholder returns."

The Company's primary areas of multi-year strategic focus remain unchanged:
- Advancing innovation, electrification, and global market penetration to achieve organic revenue growth* of 2 to 3 times the market
- Streamlining and simplifying the organization, and investing in initiatives that more directly impact our customers and end users
- Returning adjusted gross margins* to historical 35%+ levels by accelerating the operations and supply chain transformation to improve fill rates and better match inventory with customer demand
- Prioritizing cash flow generation and inventory optimization
3Q'24 Key Points:
- Net sales for the quarter were $3.8 billion, down 5% versus prior year as price (+1%) was offset by volume (-3%), currency (-1%), and the previously announced Infrastructure business divestiture (-2%).
- Gross margin for the quarter was 29.9%, up 310 basis points versus the prior year rate of 26.8%. Adjusted gross margin* was 30.5%, up 290 basis points versus the prior year, primarily due to the supply chain transformation.
- SG&A expenses were 21.2% of sales for the quarter versus 20.1% in the prior year. Excluding charges, adjusted SG&A expenses* were 20.8% of sales, up versus 19.3% in the prior year, as the Company increased growth investments designed to deliver future market share gains.
- Net earnings from continuing operations was 2.4% of sales versus 0.1% of sales in the prior year. Third quarter EBITDA* was 8.6% of sales versus 4.8% of sales in the prior year. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA* was 10.8% of sales, up 140 basis points versus prior year.
- Third quarter cash from operating activities was $286 million. Free cash flow* in the third quarter was approximately $200 million, which contributed to approximately $100 million of debt reduction in the third quarter.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measure As Further Defined On Page 6 |
- Tools & Outdoor net sales were down 3% versus third quarter 2023, driven by volume (-3%) and currency (-1%), partially offset by price (+1%). Organic revenue was down 2%, as growth in DEWALT was offset by the weak consumer and DIY backdrop. Regional organic revenues* were: North America (-4%), Europe (+1%) and rest of world (+6%). The Tools & Outdoor segment margin was 10.0%, up 190 basis points versus prior year. Adjusted segment margin* was 11.1%, up 180 basis points versus third quarter 2023, primarily due to supply chain transformation benefits, which were partially offset by growth investments.
- Industrial net sales were down 18% versus third quarter 2023, driven by the Infrastructure business divestiture (-17%) and volume (-2%), partially offset by price (+1%). Engineered Fastening organic revenues* were down 1%, as aerospace expansion and a return to growth in general industrial was more than offset by market softness in automotive. The Industrial segment margin was 14.4%, up 400 basis points versus prior year 10.4%. The adjusted segment margin* was 13.9%, up 170 basis points versus third quarter 2023 due to price realization and cost control.
Global Cost Reduction Program Supporting Gross Margin Expansion
The Company continued executing a series of initiatives that are expected to generate $1.5 billion of pre-tax run-rate cost savings by the end of 2024, growing to $2 billion by the end of 2025. Of the $2 billion savings, $1.5 billion is expected to be delivered through a supply chain transformation that leverages strategic sourcing, drives operational excellence, consolidates facilities and optimizes the distribution network, and reduces complexity of the product portfolio.
These actions are expected to return adjusted gross margins* to historical 35%+ levels. Additionally, the Global Cost Reduction Program is expected to optimize the Company's cost base to fund investments that accelerate growth in core businesses.
The Global Cost Reduction Program generated $105 million of incremental pre-tax run-rate cost savings in third quarter 2024. Since inception of the program in mid-2022, the Company has generated approximately $1.4 billion in pre-tax run-rate savings and reduced inventory by over $2 billion.

2024 Outlook
Patrick D. Hallinan, Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, "Our gross margin meaningfully expanded in the third quarter versus both the prior year quarter and the first half of 2024, driven by the disciplined execution of our supply chain transformation, and we remain on track to achieve an approximately 30% adjusted gross margin* for the full year. Our ability to deliver approximately $200 million of free cash flow* year-to-date supported our capital allocation priorities, including our dividend and debt reduction, along with reinvestment in growth initiatives. Looking forward, we remain focused on executing further supply chain improvements to drive toward our target of 35%+ adjusted gross margins,* support incremental growth investments and deliver improved earnings. Our top priorities remain delivering margin expansion, cash generation and balance sheet strength to position the Company for long-term growth and value creation."
Management is narrowing its 2024 EPS guidance ranges with GAAP EPS to be between $1.15 to $1.75 (from $0.90 to $2.00) and adjusted EPS* to be between $3.90 to $4.30 (from $3.70 to $4.50). Free cash flow* is reiterated at approximately $650 million to $850 million.
The difference between 2024 GAAP and adjusted EPS* guidance is approximately $2.55 to $2.75, consisting primarily of charges related to the supply chain transformation under the Global Cost Reduction Program, environmental reserve adjustments and a brand impairment charge.
Non-GAAP Adjustments
Total pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments in the third quarter of 2024 were $105.9 million, primarily related to non-cash impairment charges, footprint actions and other costs related to the supply chain transformation, and restructuring costs. Gross profit included $24.8 million of charges, while SG&A included $15.1 million. Other, net included a net benefit of $3.0 million, and Restructuring included $22.1 million of charges. In addition, the Company recognized $46.9 million of non-cash asset impairment charges in the third quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Organic revenue or organic sales 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. Organic revenue growth, organic sales growth or organic growth is organic revenue or organic sales divided by prior year sales. Gross profit is defined as sales less cost of sales. Gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of sales. Segment profit is defined as sales less cost of sales and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses (aside from corporate overhead expense). Segment margin is segment profit as a percentage of sales. EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is EBITDA as a percentage of sales. Gross profit, gross margin, SG&A, segment profit, segment margin, earnings, EBITDA and EBITDA margin are adjusted for certain gains and charges, such as environmental charges, supply chain transformation costs, acquisition and divestiture-related items, asset impairments, restructuring, and other adjusting items. Management uses these metrics as key measures to assess the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the related measures at the segment level. Adjusted earnings per share or adjusted EPS, is diluted GAAP EPS excluding certain gains and charges. 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 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 is reconciled to GAAP on pages 12 through 16 and in the appendix to the earnings conference call slides available at http://www.stanleyblackanddecker.com/investors. The Company considers the use of the Non-GAAP financial measures above relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the Company's results, business trends and outlook measures aside from the material impact of certain gains and charges and ensures appropriate comparability to operating results of prior periods.
The Company also provides expectations for the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EPS, presented on a basis excluding certain gains and charges, as well as free cash flow. Forecasted adjusted EPS is reconciled to forecasted GAAP EPS on page 4. Due to high variability and difficulty in predicting items that impact cash flow from operations, a reconciliation of forecasted free cash flow to its most directly comparable GAAP estimate has been omitted. The Company believes such a reconciliation would also imply a degree of precision that is inappropriate for this forward-looking measure.
