Items of Note for 2020 Guidance

Summary of Fourth Quarter 2019 Results
Net revenue of $739 million decreased 3.8% compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. Foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted revenues by 2.1%, and the sale of the surfactants, thickeners and dispersants business negatively impacted revenues by 0.8%. Organic revenue, which excludes impacts from foreign currency and divestitures, was down 0.9% versus last year. Organic revenue growth in Americas Adhesives, Asia Pacific and Engineering Adhesives was offset by organic revenue declines in Construction Adhesives and EIMEA, primarily reflecting general industry and economic slowdowns in these areas.

Gross profit margin was 27.2%. Adjusted gross profit margin of 27.6%4 was down 20 basis points versus last year, driven by lower revenues and temporary higher manufacturing and inventory write off costs at certain former Royal Adhesives factories in the quarter, partially offset by favorable raw material costs. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense was $149 million. Adjusted SG&A expense of $133 million5 was roughly flat compared with the fourth quarter of 2018.

As a result of these factors, net income attributable to H.B. Fuller for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $32 million, or $0.61 per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to H.B. Fuller was $46 million1, or $0.881 of adjusted EPS, versus $47 million1, or $0.901 of adjusted EPS last year. Adjusted EPS decreased 2% versus the same period last year, and would have increased approximately 4% excluding unfavorable impacts from foreign currency exchange and the divestiture of the surfactants, thickeners and dispersants business.

"In the fourth quarter, we continued to gain share in strategic businesses including Engineering Adhesives and Hygiene, and our organic revenue trends improved sequentially compared with the third quarter," said Jim Owens, president and chief executive officer. "For the full year, adjusted EPS was within our guidance range of $2.95 to $3.05 and adjusted earnings and EBITDA improved year-over-year on a constant currency basis. These results were achieved in a weak external environment which impacted organic growth. Our cash flow conversion remained very strong as a result of solid earnings and working capital management and we significantly exceeded our debt paydown target."

Full Year 2019 Summary
Net revenue for fiscal 2019 of $2,897 million decreased 4.7% compared with fiscal 2018. Foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted full year revenues by 3.3%, and the divestiture negatively impacted revenues by 0.3%. Organic full year revenue decreased by 1.1% year-over-year, due to lower revenues in Construction Adhesives and EIMEA partially offset by growth in Engineering Adhesives, Americas Adhesives and Asia Pacific.

Gross profit margin was 27.9%. Adjusted gross profit margin of 28.1%4 increased 50 basis points versus last year on lower raw material cost, favorable pricing and cost synergies from the integration of Royal Adhesives. Net income attributable to H.B. Fuller for fiscal 2019 was $131 million, or $2.52 per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to H.B. Fuller was $154 million1, or $2.961 per diluted share, compared with $1561 million, or $3.001 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018. Adjusted EPS would have increased approximately 6% compared with fiscal 2018 excluding the unfavorable impacts of foreign currency exchange and the divestiture of the surfactants and thickeners business. Adjusted EBITDA was $432 million1, compared with $449 million1 in the prior year period, and would have modestly increased year-over-year excluding unfavorable impacts from foreign currency and the divestiture.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company had cash on hand of $112 million and total debt equal to $1,979 million. This compares to cash and debt levels equal to $151 million and $2,248 million, respectively, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. Cash flow from operations for the full year increased to $269 million from $253 million in 2018. Capital expenditures were $62 million in 2019, compared with $68 million in 2018.

Update on Business Realignment
Effective Dec. 1, 2019, H.B. Fuller completed the realignment of its business from five to three operating segments. Aligning our resources around the three new global business units (GBUs) ? Engineering Adhesives, Hygiene, Health and Consumable Adhesives, and Construction Adhesives ? better positions us to quickly identify trends and utilize our vast adhesives portfolio to deliver new solutions targeted to evolving trends. In addition, the new organizational structure enabled a simplification of our business processes and elimination of more than 150 redundant positions, globally, leading to reduced costs.

"We are entering the new year with a strategically focused and realigned business poised for growth and beginning to see areas of positive trends on the top line," said Owens. "We win with customers by solving their adhesive problems better and faster than competitors. By organizing into global business units, we benefit from reduced complexity, enhanced collaboration, and increased speed to market. Our new global teams and expanded utilization of our shared services model are in place, and our entire organization is focused on capturing new market share at greater profitability in 2020, and in the years ahead."

The company updated the range of its previously disclosed cost savings target from this realignment to $25 to $35 million by 2021, with approximately two thirds of the savings to be realized in 2020. In its Nov. 13, 2019 filing on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company announced approximately $9 to $11 million of restructuring costs associated with this initiative to be recognized across the next several fiscal quarters. The company incurred $9 million of restructuring costs in the quarter ended Nov. 30, 2019.            

Financial Guidance
For fiscal year 2020, the company anticipates adjusted EPS of $3.15 to $3.35 and adjusted EBITDA of $440 to $460 million. Full year organic revenue growth is expected to be 1 to 2% compared with 2019, with net revenue growth impacted by an estimated unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates of 0.5% and an unfavorable 0.5% impact from the divestiture of the surfactants business resulting in net revenue growth between 0 and 1%. The company's core tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, is expected to be between 26% and 28%. H.B. Fuller expects to invest approximately $85 million in capital items in 2020.

"In 2020, we are focused on executing the growth drivers and cost savings that are enabled by our GBU realignment and the synergies provided by the Royal Adhesives acquisition," Owens said. "Our plan delivers organic growth in a continued challenging global manufacturing environment forecasted for 2020. In addition, we are reducing costs to support 10% earnings growth and increased cash flow. As a result of profit margin and working capital improvements, high cash flow conversion rates and our focused capital management programs, we remain on track to significantly exceed our committed $600 million in debt paydown by the end of 2020."

This guidance excludes estimated pre-tax expenses of $6 to $10 million related to the company's global business realignment and completion of the integration of the Royal business, and pre-tax expenses of $12 to $15 million related to ERP development costs. The company's guidance could be impacted by further rule making relative to U.S. Tax Reform as well as potential tax law changes in other countries where we do business. A complete reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial information contained in our 2020 guidance is not being provided in accordance with the "unreasonable efforts" exception of Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following: the Royal Adhesives transaction may involve unexpected costs or liabilities; our business or stock price may suffer as a results of uncertainty surrounding the transaction; the substantial amount of debt we have incurred to finance our acquisition of Royal, our ability to repay or refinance it or incur additional debt in the future, our need for a significant amount of cash to service and repay the debt and to pay dividends on our common stock, and the effect of restrictions contained in our debt agreements that limit the discretion of management in operating the business or ability to pay dividends; various risks to stockholders of not receiving dividends and risks to our ability to pursue growth opportunities if we continue to pay dividends according to the current dividend policy; we may be unable to achieve expected synergies, cost savings and operating efficiencies from the Royal transaction or the business realignment within the expected time frames or at all; we may be unable to successfully integrate Royal's operations into our own, or such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected; the ability to effectively implement Project ONE; political and economic conditions; product demand; competitive products and pricing; costs of and savings from restructuring initiatives; geographic and product mix; availability and price of raw materials; the company's relationships with its major customers and suppliers; changes in tax laws and tariffs; devaluations and other foreign exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of litigation and environmental matters; the effect of new accounting pronouncements and accounting charges and credits; and similar matters. Further information about the various risks and uncertainties can be found in the company's SEC 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 1, 2018. All forward-looking information represents management's best judgment as of this date based on information currently available that in the future may prove to have been inaccurate. Additionally, the variety of products sold by the company and the regions where the company does business make it difficult to determine with certainty the increases or decreases in net revenue resulting from changes in the volume of products sold, currency impact, changes in product mix, and selling prices. However, managements' best estimate of these changes as well as changes in other factors have been included.
