Janus International Group, Inc. (NYSE: JBI) (“Janus” or the “Company”), a leading provider of cutting-edge access control technologies and building product solutions for the self-storage and other commercial and industrial sectors, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company also introduced its long-term strategic and financial outlook. A conference call and webcast will be held today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time to review results and discuss its long-term outlook, during which time the executive leadership team will discuss the Company’s firmly established position to drive revenue growth and margin expansion, along with the its multi-year financial objectives and capital allocation framework.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights

• Revenues of $279.7 million, an 18.9% increase compared to $235.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, driven primarily by strong performance in Restore, Rebuild & Replace (“R3”) up 43%, and Commercial and Other up 34%, partially offset by an 8.1% decrease in New Construction.

• Net income was $32.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $10.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2021. The quarter over quarter increase was driven by the positive impacts of higher revenue, commercial actions taken to offset inflationary pressures on inputs, improvement in steel-related costs, and continued solid execution on cost containment, partially offset by continued inflationary pressure on certain inputs, particularly labor and logistics costs.

• Adjusted net income (defined as net income plus the corresponding tax-adjusted add-backs shown in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation tables below) of $32.7 million, up 59.7% compared to $20.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.22, compared to $0.14 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $68.3 million, a 57.5% increase compared to $43.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, driven by increased revenue, partially offset by higher cost of sales and general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues was 24.4%, an increase of 6.0% from the prior year period due primarily to the positive impacts of commercial actions taken to offset higher input costs, cost containment measures, and a year over year improvement in steel related costs.

• Operating cash flow of $25.9 million compared to $15.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting the strong results detailed above and a return to more normalized inventory levels.

Full Year 2022 Highlights

• Revenue was $1.0 billion compared to $750.2 million in full year 2021. The 35.9% improvement, including 28.4% organically, was driven primarily by strong performance in R3, Commercial and Other, New Construction and the addition of $56.6 million from DBCI and ACT.

• Net income was $107.7 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to $43.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share in full year 2021. The year over year increase is attributable to the same items described in the Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights above.

• Adjusted net income was $109.2 million, a 62.2% increase compared to $67.3 million in full year 2021. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.74, compared to $0.62 in full year 2021. Both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased despite being impacted by a significantly higher average share count in 2022 as a result of the business combination in June of 2021.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $226.9 million compared to $148.2 million in full year 2021. As a percent of revenues, Adjusted EBITDA was 22.3% as compared to 19.8% in the prior year, primarily due to commercial actions taken to offset inflationary increases in input costs, continued strong execution on cost containment initiatives, and organic and acquired growth, partially offset by increases in labor and logistics, as well as a full year of incremental costs associated with being a public company.

• Operating cash flow of $88.5 million compared to $74.8 million in full year 2021. The year over year increase is attributable to the same items described in the Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights above.

Ramey Jackson, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our strong results in the fourth quarter capped off another record year for Janus, one in which we generated substantial full-year revenue growth across all of our sales channels and drove a 250-basis point improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin. We reduced our net leverage 1.6 times, helped by our consistent generation of solid cash flow. And the integration of our prior year acquisitions of DBCI and ACT, a focal point for the team in 2022, was completed ahead of schedule, yielding greater than expected financial benefits.”

Mr. Jackson continued, “Fundamentals and demand across all our sales channels remain robust, particularly in our core self-storage markets. The actions we have taken to overcome a challenging macroeconomic backdrop are showing in our results, and in tandem with our continuously expanding suite of solutions offerings, position us to once again deliver strong results in 2023 on our path to achieving our longer term goals.”

2023 Financial Outlook:

Based on the Company’s current business outlook, Janus is providing initial full-year 2023 guidance as follows:

• Revenue in a range of $1.05 billion to $1.07 billion, which represents a 4.0% increase at the midpoint as compared to 2022 levels.

• Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $250 million to $275 million, which represents a 15.6% increase at the midpoint as compared to 2022 levels.

The estimates set forth above were prepared by the Company’s management and are based upon a number of assumptions. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” The Company has excluded a quantitative reconciliation with respect to the Company’s 2023 guidance under the “unreasonable efforts” exception in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Long Term Strategic Plan

“Coming off this impressive record year at Janus, we are pleased to introduce our first longer term vision and financial objectives for the company since becoming public almost two years ago,” Mr. Jackson commented. “We expect to accomplish these goals by expanding our leadership position in self-storage and growing share in Commercial, Industrial, and other tangential areas, all while maintaining a relentless focus on cost control and balance sheet strength.”

As part of its long-term strategic plan, the Company will be focused on building value by capitalizing on the following factors and initiatives:

• Expanding its position as the industry leader in a resilient well-structured market

• Delivering strong market growth through commercial actions, share gains across all three sales channels, increasing content per square foot, and expanding adoption of Nokē Remote Access

• Driving robust EBITDA margins through productivity initiatives, relentless cost containment, and a growing suite of higher margin solutions offerings

• Continuing to deliver solid free cash flow generation and conversion of adjusted net income, providing capital deployment optionality to drive shareholder value

• Executing value-accretive acquisitions targeting bolt-on and adjacent categories that benefit from the Company’s market leading position in core competencies

Long Term Financial Targets

The Company’s long-term outlook includes the following financial objectives in the next three to five years:

• Delivering annual organic revenue growth in the range of 4% to 6%

• Expanding Adjusted EBITDA margin to a range of 25% to 27%

• Continuing significant cash flow generation, including free cash flow conversion of adjusted net income in a range of 75% - 100%

• Maintaining strong balance sheet with net leverage in a range of 2.0x to 3.0x

Anselm Wong, Executive Vice President and CFO of Janus, concluded, “We are pleased to unveil our long-term financial targets today, which emphasize the strength of our end markets, the leverage of our business model, and the expansion of our offerings in the years to come. These targets are consistent with the solid trajectory in our business that we have demonstrated since going public.”

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this communication, including the estimated guidance provided under “2022 Financial Outlook” herein, may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this communication are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to statements regarding Janus’s positioning in the industry to strengthen its pipeline and deliver on its objectives and Janus’s belief regarding the demand outlook for Janus’s products and the strength of the industrials markets. When used in this communication, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions, as they relate to the management team, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs of Janus’s management, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events, and involve factors, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from such statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in Janus’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: (i) risks of the self-storage industry; (ii) the highly competitive nature of the self-storage industry and Janus’s ability to compete therein; and (iii) the risk that the demand outlook for Janus’s products may not be as strong as anticipated.

There can be no assurance that the events, results, trends or guidance regarding financial outlook identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Janus is not under any obligation and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in Janus and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in Janus. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Janus or other matters and attributable to Janus or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above and under the heading “Risk Factors” in Janus’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as updated from time to time in amendments and its subsequent filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Janus uses measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Non-GAAP financial performance measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a GAAP basis.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are non-GAAP financial measures used by Janus to evaluate its operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Accordingly, Janus believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Janus’s operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors and in comparison with Janus’s peer group companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of Janus’s business, as they remove the effect of certain non-recurring events and other non-recurring charges, such as acquisitions, and certain variable or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization, and other non-operational, non-recurring items. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income plus the corresponding tax-adjusted add-backs shown in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation.

Please note that the Company has not provided the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or a quantitative reconciliation thereto, for the Adjusted EBITDA forward-looking guidance for 2023 included in this communication in reliance on the "unreasonable efforts" exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Providing the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or a quantitative reconciliation thereto, cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the inherent uncertainty and difficulty in predicting certain non-cash, material and/or non-recurring expenses or benefits, legal settlements or other matters, and certain tax positions. Because these adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond the Company's control, the Company is also unable to predict their probable significance. The variability of these items could have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income rather than net income (loss), which is the nearest GAAP equivalent of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. These limitations include that the non-GAAP financial measures: exclude depreciation and amortization, and although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may be replaced in the future; do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest on debt, which reduces cash available; do not reflect the provision for or benefit from income tax that may result in payments that reduce cash available; exclude non-recurring items (i.e., the extinguishment of debt); and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, because the expenses and other items that Janus excludes in the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures when they report their operating results. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
