Fourth Quarter 2017 Discussion

Net sales increased 6% to $509 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, from $481 million in the comparable period of 2016. The increase in net sales was a result of a 2% increase in sales volume, which includes the A&F Wood Products acquisition, a 2% increase in average unit price (AUP), and a 2% benefit from foreign exchange.

• North American Residential net sales were $359 million, a 7% increase over the fourth quarter of 2016, driven by a 4% increase in volume, a 2% increase in AUP, and a 1% benefit from foreign exchange related to the Canadian dollar.
• Europe net sales were $73 million, a 7% increase over the fourth quarter of 2016, due to an 8% benefit from foreign exchange and a 4% increase in AUP. The gains were partially offset by a 3% decrease in sales volume and a 1% decrease in the sale of component products.
• Architectural net sales were $70 million, a 1% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2016, driven by a 4% decline in sales volume which was partially offset by a 3% increase in AUP. Fourth quarter sales volume includes sales from A&F Wood Products which contributed approximately $4 million in the fourth quarter.

Total company gross profit increased 4% to $100 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Gross profit margin decreased 40 basis points to 19.7%, due primarily to higher distribution costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $60 million were down $4 million, or 6%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. The decline in SG&A was driven by a $4 million decrease in share based compensation expense. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 11.7%, a 150 basis point improvement compared to the fourth quarter of 2016.

Net income attributable to Masonite increased $56 million to $72 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Net income includes non-cash tax benefits totaling $51 million, including $24 million from the release of a valuation allowance previously recorded against deferred tax assets in Canada, and $27 million related to U.S. tax reform and a reduction of deferred tax liabilities in the U.S. due to the lowered corporate tax rate.

Adjusted EBITDA* increased 6% to $64 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 from $61 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Diluted earnings per share were $2.48 in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to $0.50 in the comparable 2016 period. Diluted adjusted earnings per share* were $0.71 in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to $0.55 in the comparable 2016 period. The tax adjustments amounted to $1.77 per share in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Masonite repurchased 139,473 of its common shares in the fourth quarter, at an average price of $71.86.

Full Year Discussion

Net sales increased 3% to $2,033 million in the year ended December 31, 2017, from $1,974 million in the comparable period of 2016. The increase in net sales was the result of an AUP increase of 2% and a volume increase of 1%.

• North American Residential net sales were $1,429 million, a 6% increase over 2016, driven primarily by a 3% increase in sales volumes and a 2% increase in AUP.
• Europe net sales were $292 million, a 3% decrease from 2016, due to 4% of negative foreign exchange and a 1% decline in component sales partially offset by a 2% increase in AUP.
• Architectural net sales were $288 million, a 3% decrease from 2016, driven by an 8% decline in sales volume, partially offset by a 4% increase in average unit price and higher component sales.

Total company gross profit decreased slightly to $407 million in 2017, compared to 2016. Gross profit margin decreased 80 basis points to 20.0% in 2017, due to higher distribution costs and increased manufacturing labor and overhead expenses primarily in the first half of 2017.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $247 million were down $14 million, or 5%, compared to 2016. The decrease was driven by a $12 million decrease in personnel costs, primarily due to a reduction in our incentive pay accrual, and a $6 million reduction of non-cash items in SG&A expenses, including share based compensation. The decreases were partially offset by a $4 million increase in marketing costs. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 12.1%, a 110 basis point improvement from 2016.

Net income attributable to Masonite increased $53 million to $152 million in 2017. Net income includes the previously described non-cash tax benefits of $53 million, the majority of which was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA* increased $3 million to $256 million in 2017, from $253 million in 2016.

Diluted earnings per share were $5.09 in the 2017 fiscal year compared to $3.17 in the comparable 2016 period. Diluted adjusted earnings per share increased $0.30 to $3.33 in the 2017 fiscal year compared to $3.03 in the comparable 2016 period. The previously described tax adjustments accounted for $1.76 per share in the full year.

Masonite repurchased 1,794,101 of its common shares at an average price of $66.82, or $120 million in 2017.

2018 Outlook

The Company expects full-year 2018 net sales growth in the range of six to eight percent, based on our expectations for modest growth in the North American and European end markets, improvement in average unit price, and incremental net sales from recent acquisitions. Excluding anticipated impacts of foreign exchange, the Company expects net sales growth of five to seven percent.

The Company expects 2018 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $280 million to $300 million and diluted adjusted earnings per share of $3.70 to $4.20.

A quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and diluted adjusted earnings per share outlook to the corresponding GAAP information is not provided because the GAAP measures that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA outlook are difficult to predict and are primarily dependent on future uncertainties. Items with future uncertainties include restructuring costs, asset impairments, share based compensation expense and gains/losses on sales of subsidiaries and PP&E.

As a result, such forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, should not be unduly relied upon, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our ability to successfully implement our business strategy; general economic, market and business conditions; levels of residential new construction; residential repair, renovation and remodeling; and non-residential building construction activity; the United Kingdom's formal trigger of the two year process for its exit from the European Union and related negotiations; competition; our ability to manage our operations including integrating our recent acquisitions and companies or assets we acquire in the future; our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our capital expenditure requirements, to meet our pension obligations, and to meet our debt service obligations, including our obligations under our senior notes and our ABL Facility; labor relations (i.e., disruptions, strikes or work stoppages), labor costs and availability of labor; increases in the costs of raw materials or any shortage in supplies; our ability to keep pace with technological developments; the actions taken by, and the continued success of, certain key customers; our ability to maintain relationships with certain customers; the ability to generate the benefits of our restructuring activities; retention of key management personnel; environmental and other government regulations; and limitations on operating our business as a result of covenant restrictions under our existing and future indebtedness, including our senior notes and our ABL Facility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Related Information

Our management reviews net sales and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Net assets are not allocated to the reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to either net income or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Masonite adjusted to exclude the following items: depreciation; amortization; share based compensation expense; loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment; registration and listing fees; restructuring costs; asset impairment; loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries; interest expense (income), net; loss on extinguishment of debt; other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax; and net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest. This definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the definitions of EBITDA contained in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes and the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated under our ABL Facility or senior notes would also include, among other things, additional add-backs for amounts related to: cost savings projected by us in good faith to be realized as a result of actions taken or expected to be taken prior to or during the relevant period; fees and expenses in connection with certain plant closures and layoffs; and the amount of any restructuring charges, integration costs or other business optimization expenses or reserve deducted in the relevant period in computing consolidated net income, including any one-time costs incurred in connection with acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA is used to evaluate and compare the performance of the segments and it is one of the primary measures used to determine employee incentive compensation. Intersegment transfers are negotiated on an arm's length basis, using market prices. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, from an operations standpoint, provides an appropriate way to measure and assess segment performance. Our management team has established the practice of reviewing the performance of each segment based on the measures of net sales and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to users of the consolidated financial statements because it provides the same information that we use internally to evaluate and compare the performance of the segments and it is one of the primary measures used to determine employee incentive compensation.

The tables below sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Masonite for the periods indicated. We are not providing a quantitative reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA or diluted Adjusted EPS outlook to the corresponding GAAP information because the GAAP measures that we exclude from our Adjusted EBITDA outlook are difficult to predict and are primarily dependent on future uncertainties. Items with future uncertainties include restructuring costs, asset impairments, share based compensation expense and gains/losses on sales of subsidiaries and PP&E.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Sales. Management believes this measure provides supplemental information on how successfully we operate our business.

Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per common share attributable to Masonite (EPS) less asset impairment charges, loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries, and other items, if any, that do not relate to Masonite’s underlying business performance (each net of related tax expense (benefit)). Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, we revised our calculation of Adjusted EPS to exclude the beneficial impact of the deferred tax revaluation recognized as a result of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and the release of a valuation allowance in Canada as such tax assets are likely to be realized in future periods. The revision to this definition had no impact on our reported Adjusted EPS for the three months or year ended January 1, 2017. Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of the Company and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
