American Woodmark Corporation Announces First Quarter Results

Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

  • Net sales of $459.1 million
  • Net income of $29.6 million
  • GAAP EPS of $1.89
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $62.9 million; 13.7% of net sales
  • Cash provided by operating activities of $40.8 million; free cash flow of $29.4 million
  • Repurchased 271,460 shares for $24.0 million

American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the "Company") today announced results for its first fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2024.

“Our team delivered net sales growth in the new construction market, but this was more than offset by weaker than projected demand in the remodel market,” said Scott Culbreth, President and CEO. “Softer demand in the remodel market is expected to continue and we have seen a recent slowdown in new construction single family starts. Despite these macroeconomic demand challenges, we continue to target share gains in all channels to ensure our performance exceeds market demand for the fiscal year.”

First Quarter Results

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased $39.1 million, or 7.9%, to $459.1 million compared with the same quarter last fiscal year. Net income was $29.6 million ($1.89 per diluted share and 6.5% of net sales) compared with $37.9 million ($2.28 per diluted share and 7.6% of net sales) last fiscal year. Net income decreased $8.2 million due to a decrease in net sales combined with an unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment on our foreign currency hedging instruments of $6.3 million, partially offset by the roll-off of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization of $11.4 million, which ended in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year, non-recurring pre-tax charge related to the plywood case last fiscal year of $4.9 million, and lower year-over-year incentive compensation. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $1.89 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $2.78 last fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased $12.3 million, or 16.3%, to $62.9 million, or 13.7% of net sales, compared with $75.2 million, or 15.1% of net sales, last fiscal year.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

As of July 31, 2024, the Company had $89.3 million in cash plus access to $322.9 million of additional availability under its revolving credit facility. Also, as of July 31, 2024, the Company had $206.3 million in term loan debt and $163.8 million drawn on its revolving credit facility.

Cash provided by operating activities for the current fiscal quarter was $40.8 million and free cash flow totaled $29.4 million. The Company repurchased 271,460 shares, or approximately 1.8% of shares outstanding, for $24.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. As of July 31, 2024, $65.4 million of funds remained available from the amounts authorized by the Board to repurchase the Company's common stock.

Fiscal 2025 Financial Outlook

For fiscal 2025 (which includes the now completed first quarter) the Company expects:

  • Low single-digit decline in net sales year-over-year
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $225 million to $245 million

“During the first fiscal quarter, we achieved an Adjusted EBITDA of $62.9 million, representing 13.7% of net sales. This outcome was influenced by the weaker sales in the repair and remodel market during the quarter. Despite this, our teams remain dedicated to optimizing our platform expansion investments and have continued making operational improvements, positioning us well for when macro housing conditions improve,” stated Paul Joachimczyk, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We remain committed to investing back in the business and continued returns to our shareholders by repurchasing 1.8% of our shares outstanding.”

Our Adjusted EBITDA outlook excludes the impact of certain income and expense items that management believes are not part of underlying operations. These items may include restructuring costs, interest expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain tax items. Our management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these income and expense items on its reported net income, which could be significant, are difficult to predict, and may be highly variable. As a result, the Company does not provide a reconciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for its Adjusted EBITDA outlook.

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 EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense (benefit), (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, and (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude (1) 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, (2) non-recurring restructuring charges, (3) net gain/loss on debt forgiveness, (4) stock-based compensation expense, (5) gain/loss on asset disposals, and (6) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts. 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, (4) net gain/loss on debt forgiveness, and (5) 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. 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.

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:
