OREANDA-NEWS. June 01, 2016. Quanex Building Products Corporation (NYSE:NX) (“Quanex” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the quarter ended April 30, 2016.

Second Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Net sales increased 62% to \\$229.5 million compared to \\$142.0 million in Q2 2015
  • Net income increased 72% to \\$3.9 million compared to \\$2.3 million in Q2 2015
  • Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to \\$24.3 million (11% margin) versus \\$11.6 million (8% margin) in Q2 2015
  • Year-to-date cash provided by operating activities increased 643% to \\$24.6 million compared to the same period last year
  • All borrowings under Asset-Based Lending facility were repaid as of April 30, 2016

Bill Griffiths, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “In line with our expectations and guidance, our legacy window component business in the U.S. grew 6% during the first half of our fiscal year, excluding the impact of certain eliminated products, price changes and raw material pass through adjustments.  In addition, our ongoing focus on margin expansion through operational efficiency gains continues to be effective, as EBITDA margins improved by approximately 250 basis points this quarter.  As a result, we are increasing guidance for 2016 to more accurately reflect our current expectations.  We also made further progress towards the goal of improving our leverage ratio to under 2.5x by the end of this fiscal year, and we remain confident in our ability to do so.”

Net sales increased by \\$87.5 million to \\$229.5 million during the three months ended April 30, 2016, compared to the three months ended April 30, 2015.  The increase was driven by revenue generated from the acquisitions of HL Plastics and Woodcraft Industries in 2015 coupled with continued volume growth in all other reporting segments, partially offset by foreign exchange translation impact.  (See Sales Analysis table for additional information)

The Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of \\$24.3 million for the quarter, compared to \\$11.6 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 200 basis points during the three months ended April 30, 2016, and approximately 400 basis points for the six months ended April 30, 2016.  (See Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosure table and Selected Segment Data table for additional information)

Quanex’s leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA improved to 2.6x.  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)

Fiscal 2016 Guidance Update

The guidance update incorporates Quanex’s year-to-date results and reflects management’s current expectations for the full year.  The Company updated net sales guidance to \\$965 – \\$975 million, which is unchanged at 5% to 6% pro forma growth year-over-year, but now incorporates the Company’s latest estimates for the expected impact of foreign exchange translation based on current exchange rates.  Quanex increased Adjusted EBITDA guidance to \\$117 - \\$121 million, as compared to previous guidance provided in December 2015 of \\$112 - \\$120 million.

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.
