WINCHESTER, Va., Aug. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- American
Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the "Company") today announced
results for its first fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2019.
Net sales for the first fiscal quarter decreased 0.4% to
$427.4 million compared with the same
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced
growth in the builder channel which was offset by declines in the
home center and independent dealers and distributors channels
during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Net income was $26.9 million
($1.59 per diluted share) for the
first quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $24.8 million ($1.41 per diluted share) in the same quarter of
the prior fiscal year. Net income for the current quarter was
positively impacted by lower sales and marketing expense and lower
interest expense. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was
$2.13 for the first quarter of the
current fiscal year compared with $2.04 in the same quarter of the prior fiscal
year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first fiscal quarter was $69.6 million, or 16.3% of net sales, compared to
$68.1 million, or 15.9% of net sales,
for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.
"Despite the difficult market, we are very pleased with our
financial performance in our first fiscal quarter," said
Cary Dunston, Chairman and
CEO. "Our system is operating very efficiently, overcoming a
number of cost headwinds as we continue to capitalize on
integration synergies. Within the market, we once again over
indexed in the builder channel, however repair and remodel remained
challenging."
Cash provided by operating activities for the first fiscal
quarter was $62.6 million and free
cash flow totaled $56.0 million for
the first fiscal quarter. The Company paid down $42.0 million of its term loan facility during
the current fiscal quarter.
On August 22, 2019, the Board of
Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to
$50 million of the Company's
outstanding common shares.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with
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, 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.
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 subsequent restructuring charges, (2) the
amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks,
(3) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and (4) 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 regarding the same.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
We use 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 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 RSI
acquisition and subsequent restructuring charges, (6) stock-based
compensation expense, (7) gain/loss on asset disposals, (8) change
in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts and (9) net
gain on debt forgiveness and modification. 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.
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:
