WINCHESTER, Va., Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- American Woodmark
Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the "Company") today announced results
for its first fiscal quarter ended July 31,
2020.
Net sales for the first fiscal quarter decreased 8.7% to
$390.1 million compared with the same
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced
declines in all sales channels during the first quarter of fiscal
2021 as both the remodel and new construction markets were
negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Net income was $16.5 million
($0.97 per diluted share) for the
first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with $26.9 million ($1.59 per diluted share) in the same quarter of
the prior fiscal year. Net income for the first quarter of
fiscal 2021 was negatively impacted by lower sales due to COVID-19,
deleveraging of fixed costs across the Company and a decline in
efficiency. The Company incurred pre-tax restructuring costs
totaling $3.5 million during the
first quarter of fiscal 2021 related to the permanent layoffs due
to COVID-19 announced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and the
first quarter of fiscal 2021 and the closure of its Humboldt, Tennessee manufacturing plant
announced in June 2020. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was
$1.66 for the first quarter of fiscal
2021 compared with $2.13 in the same
quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first fiscal quarter was $57.0 million, or 14.6% of net sales, compared to
$69.6 million, or 16.3% of net
sales, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.
"Our sales and net income were negatively impacted by COVID-19
during our first fiscal quarter, but our teams performed well and
drove results that exceeded our initial expectations," said
Scott Culbreth, President and
CEO. "I want to personally thank all of our employees and
suppliers for helping the Company navigate this difficult
situation."
Cash provided by operating activities for the first fiscal
quarter was $40.0 million and free
cash flow totaled $32.2
million. As of July 31, 2020, the Company had
$128.1 million of cash on hand
with no term loan debt maturities until December 2022 plus access to $93.6 million of additional availability under
its revolving credit facility.

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 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.
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
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)
the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and
trademarks, (4) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification 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 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.
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 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 and (10) 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:
