American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the "Company")
today announced results for its third quarter of fiscal 2023 which
ended January 31, 2023.
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $21.0
million, or 4.6%, to $480.7 million compared with the same quarter
of the prior fiscal year. Net sales for the first nine months of
the current fiscal year increased 16.9% to $1,585.1 million from
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company
experienced growth in the builder and independent dealers and
distributors sales channels during the third quarter and growth in
all sales channels during the first nine months of fiscal 2023
versus the comparable prior year periods.
Net income was $14.7 million ($0.88 per diluted share) for the
third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with a net loss of $49.3
million ($2.97 per diluted share) in the same quarter of the prior
fiscal year. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023
increased due to the absence of onetime pension settlement charges
of $69.5 million related to the termination of the Company's
pension plan in the prior year third quarter and an increase in net
sales largely as a result of price increases and increased
efficiencies. Net income for the first nine months of the current
fiscal year was $63.6 million ($3.82 per diluted share) compared
with a net loss of $44.2 million ($2.67 per diluted share) for the
same period of the prior fiscal year. Net income margin was 3.1%
for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to (10.7)% for the
same period in the prior fiscal year and 4.0% for the first nine
months of the current fiscal year compared with (3.3)% for the same
period of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was
$1.46 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $0.60 in
the same quarter of the prior fiscal year and $5.40 for the first
nine months of the current fiscal year compared with $1.92 for the
same period of the prior fiscal year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased
$20.4 million, or 66.8%, to $51.0 million, or 10.6% of net sales,
compared to $30.6 million, or 6.6% of net sales, for the same
quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first
nine months of fiscal 2023 increased $81.6 million, or 87.4%, to
$175.1 million, or 11.0% of net sales, compared to $93.5 million,
or 6.9% of net sales, for the same period of the prior fiscal
year.
Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months
of fiscal 2023 was $110.8 million and free cash flow totaled $91.5
million. The $140.3 million increase in free cash flows versus the
first nine months of fiscal 2022 was primarily due to changes in
our operating cash flows, specifically, higher net income, and
lower customer receivables and, lower capital spending. As of
January 31, 2023, the Company had $45.8 million of cash and cash
equivalents on hand with no term loan debt maturities until July
2024 plus access to $277.6 million of additional availability under
its revolving facility. The Company paid down $67.3 million of its
debt during the first nine months of the current fiscal year.
"During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, our teams delivered
sales growth of 4.6% and improved Adjusted EBITDA by 66.8% to $51.0
million," said Scott Culbreth, President and CEO. "As stated in
previous quarters, we committed to improving our results as price
realization better matched inflationary impacts and we improved our
costs through operating efficiency initiatives. Our team has
delivered on this commitment during the first nine months of the
fiscal year and I thank each of them for their efforts. Demand
trends did slow during the third fiscal quarter, but we are
maintaining our full year outlook for net sales growth of low
double digits along with Adjusted EBITDA margins of low double
digits."

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 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, (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) pension settlement
charges. 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)
pension settlement charges, 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:
