American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the "Company")
today announced results for its second quarter of fiscal 2022 which
ended October 31, 2021.
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 increased $4.6
million, or 1.0%, to $453.2 million compared with the same quarter
of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced growth in the new
construction sales channel during the second quarter of fiscal 2022
versus the prior year period as market demand continued at a strong
pace. Net sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year
increased 6.8% to $895.7 million from the comparable period of the
prior fiscal year.
Net income was $2.0 million ($0.12 per diluted share) for the
second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $23.1 million ($1.36
per diluted share) in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased $21.1
million due to the continued expansion of inflationary pressures
outpacing our pricing actions taken across all our channels. Prior
pricing actions have begun to partially offset the macro level
inflationary impacts. Given the inherent lag in the realization of
these pricing actions which in some cases can take up to six months
or more, the current quarter inflation impacts could not be fully
offset. Net income for the first six months of the current fiscal
year was $5.0 million ($0.30 per diluted share) compared with $39.2
million ($2.30 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior
fiscal year. Net income margin was 0.4% for the second quarter of
fiscal 2022 compared to 5.2% for the same period in the prior
fiscal year and 0.6% for the first six months of the current fiscal
year compared with 4.7% for the same period of the prior fiscal
year. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $0.62 for the second
quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $2.02 in the same quarter of
the prior fiscal year and $1.32 for the first six months of the
current fiscal year compared with $3.65 for the same period of the
prior fiscal year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased
$35.3 million, or 53.4%, to $30.8 million, or 6.8% of net sales,
compared to $66.1 million, or 14.7% of net sales, for the same
quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six
months of fiscal 2022 decreased $59.6 million, or 48.7%, to $62.9
million, or 7.0% of net sales, compared to $122.5 million, or 14.6%
of net sales, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
"Sales growth remained strong in our new construction channel
with remodel sales slowing due to the timing of winter promotional
product shipments and prior year restocking efforts. Our current
quarter adjusted EBITDA margins of 6.8% were below expectations as
sales were suppressed due to ongoing labor and supply chain
challenges, primarily particle board. Our current quarter results
include approximately $14 million of pricing impact that we
realized in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. We have also
completed an additional set of pricing actions due to ongoing
inflationary pressures. 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 $36 million versus the
second quarter's realized pricing actions, to over $50 million per
quarter," said Scott Culbreth, President and CEO. "Supply chain,
labor, and logistics challenges remain, as well as increased costs
associated with those challenges, but we expect retention efforts
to continue improving our staffing levels which will result in
incremental production capacity to reduce our backlog. We remain
excited about the long-term potential for the business and expect
Adjusted EBITDA margins to improve as price realization better
matches inflationary impacts and we improve productivity and
increase production levels."
Cash used by operating activities for the first six months was
$(10.2) million and free cash flow totaled $(37.3) million. Cash
flows were negatively impacted by lower net income, higher
inventory levels, timing of accounts payable, and lower accrued
compensation expenses. As of October 31, 2021, the Company had $8.0
million of cash on hand with no term loan debt maturities until
July 2023 plus access to $233.0 million of additional availability
under its revolving facility. The Company paid down a net of $19.7
million of its debt and repurchased shares valued at $25.0 million
during the first six 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
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, and
(10) net gain/loss 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.
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, 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.
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:
