American Woodmark Corporation Announces Third Quarter Results

American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the "Company") today announced results for its third quarter of fiscal 2022 which ended January 31, 2022.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased $27.8 million, or 6.4%, to $459.7 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced growth in all sales channels during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 versus the prior year period. Net sales for the first nine months of the current fiscal year increased 6.7% to $1,355.5 million from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

Net loss was $49.3 million ($2.97 per diluted share) for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with net income of $18.4 million ($1.08 per diluted share) in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased $67.7 million primarily due to onetime pension settlement charges of $69.5 million related to the termination of the Company's pension plan, while the Company also experienced continued pressures in the supply chain and continued labor challenges. Net loss for the first nine months of the current fiscal year was $44.2 million ($2.67 per diluted share) compared with net income of $57.6 million ($3.38 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net income percentage was (10.7)% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 4.3% for the same period in the prior fiscal year and (3.3)% for the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared with 4.5% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $0.60 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $1.57 in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year and $1.92 for the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared with $5.22 for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased $25.2 million, or 45.2%, to $30.6 million, or 6.6% of net sales, compared to $55.7 million, or 12.9% of net sales, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 decreased $84.8 million, or 47.6%, to $93.5 million, or 6.9% of net sales, compared to $178.3 million, or 14.0% of net sales, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

As previously disclosed, during the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company filed an application with the IRS to terminate its pension plan. The plan was terminated in a standard termination and benefits were distributed in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 resulting in the one-time pension settlement charges disclosed above.

"Our teams delivered sales growth across all channels for the fiscal third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margins of 6.6% for the fiscal third quarter were below expectations as sales were negatively impacted by labor absenteeism as COVID cases increased due to the Omicron variant along with supply chain shortages in the later part of December and early January. Our current quarter results include $30 million plus of pricing impacts that we realized in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. We are in process or have completed, depending upon the channel, an additional set of pricing actions that will further offset inflationary impacts beginning in April. Assuming our current sales level, we expect the impact of confirmed pricing actions to increase in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022 by an additional $25 million versus the third quarter's realized pricing actions, to over approximately $55 million per quarter," said Scott Culbreth, President and CEO. "Staffing levels continue to improve and we have started a new made-to-order assembly line in our Gas City facility in February which will result in incremental production capacity to reduce our backlog. Despite all the challenges our team has faced, we remain excited about the long-term potential for the business and expect significant Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement versus current levels as price realization better matches inflationary impacts, we improve costs through productivity initiatives, and increase our production levels as staffing improves."

Cash used by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $13.1 million and free cash flow totaled $(48.8) million. Cash flows were negatively impacted by the decrease in net income, higher inventory levels, and lower accounts payable and accrued compensation expenses. As of January 31, 2022, the Company had $0.9 million of cash on hand with no term loan debt maturities until July 2023 plus access to $227.0 million of additional availability under its revolving facility. The Company paid down a net of $15.3 million of its debt and repurchased shares valued at $25.0 million during the first nine months of the current fiscal year.

Effective May 1, 2021, the Company changed its accounting method for inventory costing for inventories which previously utilized a last-in, first-out ("LIFO") basis to a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. All prior periods presented have been retrospectively adjusted to apply the effects of the change.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below.

Management believes all of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current period's results against the corresponding prior period's results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin in evaluating the performance of our business, and we use each in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (5) expenses related to the acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. ("RSI acquisition") and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition, (6) non-recurring restructuring charges, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) gain/loss on asset disposals, (9) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, (10) net gain/loss on debt forgiveness and modification, and (11) pension settlement charges. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of our business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted EPS per diluted share

We use Adjusted EPS per diluted share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company's results by providing an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and/or non-cash items. We define Adjusted EPS per diluted share as diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of (1) expenses related to the RSI acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the RSI acquisition, (2) non-recurring restructuring charges, (3) the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (4) net loss on debt forgiveness and modification, (5) pension settlement charges, and (6) the tax benefit of RSI acquisition expenses and subsequent restructuring charges, the net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The amortization of intangible assets is driven by the RSI acquisition and will recur in future periods. Management has determined that excluding amortization of intangible assets from our definition of Adjusted EPS per diluted share will better help it evaluate the performance of our business and profitability and we have also received similar feedback from some of our investors.

Free cash flow

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to subtract amounts for capital expenditures consisting of cash payments for property, plant and equipment and cash payments for investments in displays from cash flows from continuing operations which is how we define free cash flow. Management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. It also provides a measure of our ability to repay our debt obligations.

Net leverage

Net leverage is a performance measure that we believe provides investors a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents that eventually could be used to repay outstanding debt.

We define net leverage as net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following tables:

(1) Acquisition and restructuring related expenses are comprised of expenses related to the RSI acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition.

(2) Non-recurring restructuring charges are comprised of expenses incurred related to the permanent layoffs due to COVID-19 and the closure of the manufacturing plant in Humboldt, Tennessee. The nine months ended January 31, 2021 includes accelerated depreciation expense of $1.3 million related to Humboldt. The three- and nine-months ended January 31, 2021 includes gain on assets disposal of $2.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, related to Humboldt.

(3) In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company manages these risks through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. The changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recorded in other (income) expense, net in the operating results.
