Quanex Building Products Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2017 Results

Over $45 Million of Bank Debt Paid Down in 2017
Growth and Margin Expansion Expected in 2018

HOUSTON, Dec. 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quanex Building Products Corporation (NYSE:NX) (“Quanex” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2017.

Bill Griffiths, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Fiscal 2017 was a year with a lot of moving parts related to eliminating low margin business from the portfolio, consolidating facilities and redeploying assets; however, we are now well positioned for growth and margin expansion in 2018. The hurricanes that hit Texas and Florida in August and September created some softness and inefficiencies during the fourth quarter, mostly in our North American Cabinet Components segment, but we anticipate incremental demand for our products in the coming months and years as rebuilding efforts continue. Looking past the noise, the underlying growth rate for our legacy fenestration business in the U.S. was 6.1% in fiscal 2017, which is more than double Ducker’s latest window shipment estimate of 2.9% growth for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017. Free cash flow continued to be strong in fiscal 2017, which allowed us to repay more than $45 million of bank debt. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on generating cash and deleveraging the balance sheet.”

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2017 Results Summary

Quanex reported the following selected financial results:


	Three Months Ended October 31,		Twelve Months Ended October 31,
	2017	2016	2017	2016
Net Sales	$233.0	$249.2	$866.6	$928.2
Net Income (loss)	$10.7	$5.4	$18.7	($1.9)
Diluted EPS	$0.31	$0.16	$0.54	($0.05)

Adjusted Net Income	$13.1	$15.7	$27.0	$27.7
Adjusted Diluted EPS	$0.37	$0.45	$0.77	$0.82
Adjusted EBITDA	$33.3	$34.6	$99.0	$110.3
(See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section, Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosure table and Selected Segment Data table for additional information)

The decreases in net sales were largely driven by the Company’s decision to exit business that does not meet its financial objectives. (See Sales Analysis table for additional information)

The decreases in adjusted earnings were primarily attributable to lower volumes and short-term inefficiencies related to transitioning away from less profitable business throughout the year coupled with the impact of hurricanes in the U.S. during the fourth quarter. (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section, Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosure table and Selected Segment Data table for additional information)

As of October 31, 2017, Quanex’s leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA was 2.3x. The Company remains focused on generating Free Cash Flow to pay down debt and expects to end fiscal 2018 with a leverage ratio below 2.0x. (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section for additional information)

Business Update

Quanex divested its non-core wood flooring business, Owens Flooring, on October 31, 2017. Owens Flooring contributed $9.4 million of revenue and net income of less than $0.1 million, excluding the loss on the sale of the plant, in fiscal 2017.

Outlook

Bill Griffiths, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We continue to be encouraged by the macro indicators that impact our business and believe this housing cycle has several years to run at low-to-mid single-digit growth rates for Quanex as a whole. In fact, after adjusting for the foreign exchange impact, the divestiture of the wood flooring business and other business we consciously shed, the consolidated business grew at 4.4% in 2017. We anticipate a similar growth rate in 2018. As a result, we expect to generate net sales of $890 million to $900 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $103 million to $108 million.”

*When Quanex provides expectations for Adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measures is generally not available without unreasonable effort. Certain items required for such a reconciliation are outside of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted or estimated, such as the provision for income taxes.

Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) (defined as net income further adjusted to exclude purchase price accounting inventory step-ups, transaction costs, gain/loss on the sale of fixed assets, one-time employee benefit adjustment, restructuring charges, adjustments related to accelerated depreciation and amortization for restructured PP&E and intangible assets, interest expense adjustments related to the write off of deferred loan costs, unamortized original issuance discount and prepayment call premium related to debt refinance, other net adjustments related to foreign currency transaction gain/loss and effective tax rates reflecting impacts of adjustments on a with and without basis) and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that Quanex believes provide a consistent basis for comparison between periods and more accurately reflects operational performance, as they are not influenced by certain income or expense items not affecting ongoing operations. EBITDA (defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other, net) and Adjusted EBITDA (defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude purchase price accounting inventory step-ups, transaction costs, gain/loss on the sale of fixed assets, one-time employee benefit adjustment and restructuring charges) are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to measure operational performance and assist with financial decision-making. Net Debt is calculated using the sum of current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt, minus cash and cash equivalents. The leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that Quanex 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 agreement. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated using cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Quanex believes that the presented non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for comparison between periods, and will assist investors in understanding the Company’s financial performance when comparing results to other investment opportunities. The presented non-GAAP measures may not be the same as those used by other companies. Quanex does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
