Margin Expansion Continues

Debt Refinancing Complete

HOUSTON, Sept. 06, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quanex Building Products Corporation (NYSE:NX) (“Quanex” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the quarter ended July 31, 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Net sales increased 38% to $248.1 million compared to $180.2 million in Q3 2015
  • Loss from continuing operations of $4.0 million, driven largely by interest expense related to the debt refinancing, compared to income from continuing operations of $6.5 million in Q3 2015
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 32% to $33.1 million versus $25.1 million in Q3 2015
  • Debt refinancing complete, significantly reducing future annual interest expense
  • Year-to-date cash provided by operating activities increased 78% to $49.1 million compared to $27.5 million during the same period last year

Bill Griffiths, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our ongoing focus on improved profitability and margin expansion at the operational level through efficiency gains continues to be effective.  In fact, the third quarter marks the fourth consecutive quarter of margin expansion at the operational level.  Cash generation was solid during the quarter, and as a result, our leverage ratio is now below 2.5x and we expect further improvement in the fourth quarter.  The recent refinancing of our debt not only reduces future annual interest expense by approximately $13 million, it also provides us with sufficient flexibility and a capital structure that enables us to better manage our business over the coming years.”

Quanex reported net sales of $248.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2016, an increase of 38% compared to $180.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2015.  The increase was primarily driven by revenue generated from the acquisitions of HL Plastics and Woodcraft Industries in 2015, partially offset by foreign exchange translation impact.  (See Sales Analysis table for additional information).

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $33.1 million during the third quarter, compared to $25.1 million during the same quarter of 2015.  Margin expansion continues due to the successful implementation of several ongoing operational initiatives that are designed to reduce costs while improving productivity.  For its “legacy” U.S. windows components business, the Company realized EBITDA margin improvements of approximately 140 basis points during the three months ended July 31, 2016, and approximately 300 basis points for the nine months ended July 31, 2016.  (See Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosure table and Selected Segment Data table for additional information)

As of July 31, 2016, Quanex’s leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA was 2.4x.  This leverage ratio uses LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure that, in accordance with the Company’s credit facility, assumes the acquisitions of HL Plastics and Woodcraft Industries occurred at a date prior to the actual date of acquisition, and thus includes pro forma adjustments to calculate the trailing twelve months of EBITDA including the HL Plastics and Woodcraft Industries acquisitions.  (See Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosure table for additional information)

On July 29, 2016, and as previously disclosed, Quanex entered into new senior secured credit facilities (the “New Senior Credit Facilities”) that mature in 2021 and provide for aggregate borrowings of $450 million, comprised of a $300 million revolving credit facility and a $150 million Term Loan A.  The New Senior Credit Facilities replaced the Company’s previous $310 million Term Loan B and $100 million Asset-Based Lending facility.  Borrowings under the New Senior Credit Facilities will bear interest on a tiered rate based on Quanex’s consolidated leverage ratio and was initially set at LIBOR plus 200 basis points, reducing the Company’s credit spread by approximately 375 basis points.  Based on current debt outstanding, the New Senior Credit Facilities reduce Quanex’s future annual interest expense by approximately $13 million, greater than a 60% reduction.     

Recent Events

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on Quanex’s common stock, payable September 30, 2016, to shareholders of record on September 16, 2016.

Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers

Each of the Non-GAAP measures discussed in this Press Release are defined below.  More information and reconciliations related to each of these measures can be found in the tables that accompany this Press Release.

EBITDA for each reported period is defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other, net.

Adjusted EBITDA for each reported period is defined as EBITDA excluding transaction costs and purchase price accounting adjustments related to inventory step-ups. 

LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA for the past twelve months, assuming that the acquisitions of HL Plastics and Woodcraft Industries occurred at a date prior to the actual date of acquisition and thus includes pro forma adjustments to calculate the trailing twelve months of EBITDA including the HL Plastics and Woodcraft Industries acquisitions.  These adjustment items are not historical in nature and therefore cannot be reconciled to a comparable GAAP measure.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE DISCLOSURE
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
                         
EBITDA (defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other, net) and Adjusted EBITDA (defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other, net, excluding transaction costs and purchase price accounting inventory step-ups) are non-GAAP financial measures that Quanex’s management uses to measure its operational performance and assist with financial decision-making.  The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for comparison between periods, and will assist investors in understanding our financial performance when comparing our results to other investment opportunities. The leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that Quanex’s management believes is useful to investors and financial analysts in evaluating the Company’s leverage. In addition, with certain limited adjustments, this leverage ratio is the basis for a key covenant in Quanex’s credit agreements.  Net Debt is calculated using the sum of current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt, minus cash and cash equivalents.  LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated assuming that the acquisitions of HL Plastics and Woodcraft Industries occurred at a date prior to the actual date of acquisition.  Since pro forma adjustment items to LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are not historical in nature, a reconciliation to a comparable GAAP measure for purposes of such ratio is not available without unreasonable effort.  Adjusted Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges and credits because the Company believes that such items are not indicative of its core operating results, are not indicative of trends, and do not provide meaningful comparisons with other reporting periods.  Quanex believes the presented non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for comparison between periods, and will assist investors in understanding our financial performance when comparing our results to other investment opportunities.  The presented non-GAAP measures may not be the same as those used by other companies.  The Company does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
