Adjusted earnings in this year’s fourth quarter were $0.91 per diluted share, up from $0.63 in the prior-year period.¹

Full-year fiscal 2022 revenue grew 7 percent to $1.31 billion, from $1.23 billion in the prior-year. Full-year earnings were $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $0.59 in fiscal 2021, with full-year adjusted earnings per share of $2.48, up from $2.40 in fiscal 2021.

Segment Results

Architectural Framing Systems

Architectural Framing Systems fourth-quarter revenue grew 9 percent, to $143.1 million, from $131.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by inflation-related pricing actions, partially offset by lower volume. Framing Systems had a fourth-quarter operating loss of $(43.8) million, which included a $49.5 million impairment charge taken on intangible assets in the Sotawall business. This compares to an operating loss of $(71.0) million in last year’s fourth quarter, which included $70.1 million of impairment charges and $4.4 million of restructuring costs. Fourth quarter adjusted operating income² was $5.4 million, compared to $3.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting improved pricing and the benefits from restructuring actions, which offset the impact of inflation. Segment backlog increased to $429 million, up from $419 million at the end of the third quarter.

Architectural Glass

Architectural Glass revenue in the fourth quarter was $72.5 million, compared to $82.0 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting lower volume. Operating income was $17.9 million, which included a $19.5 million gain on the sale of assets, and $6.2 million of restructuring costs. This compares to operating income of $3.4 million in last year’s fourth quarter, which included $0.2 million of restructuring costs. Adjusted operating income increased to $4.7 million, from $3.6 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by improved pricing and productivity, which offset the impact of inflation and lower volume.

Architectural Services

Architectural Services revenue grew 21 percent to a record $98.7 million, up from $81.9 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by increased volume from executing projects in backlog. Fourth-quarter operating income increased to a record $11.8 million, compared to $10.7 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the increased volume, partially offset by the impact of inflation. For the full year, Architectural Services achieved record sales of $349.4 million and record operating income of $32.7 million. Segment backlog ended the quarter at $518 million, compared to $572 million at the end of the third quarter.

Large-Scale Optical

Large-Scale Optical revenue grew 23 percent to $26.6 million, up from $21.6 million in the fourth quarter last year, primarily driven by a more favorable sales mix. Operating income was $6.3 million, compared to $6.1 million in last year’s fourth quarter, primarily reflecting the more favorable sales mix, partially offset by increased operating costs. For the full year, LSO achieved record revenue of $101.7 million, exceeding $100 million of annual sales for the first time.

Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2022 was $100.5 million, compared to $141.9 million in fiscal 2021. Cash flow in the prior year benefited from reduced working capital and temporary actions related to the pandemic. Capital expenditures for the fiscal year were $21.8 million, down from $26.2 million last year, as the company slowed some investments while it conducted its strategic review. In the fourth quarter, the company repurchased 1.54 million shares of stock for $71.3 million. For the full year, the company returned $120.7 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments, up from $52.5 million in fiscal 2021.

Year-end total debt was $163 million, compared to $165 million at the end of fiscal 2021. Cash and cash equivalents were $37.6 million, compared to $47.3 million at the end of fiscal 2021.

Restructuring

On August 11, 2021, the company announced plans to realign and simplify its business structure. During the fourth quarter, the company incurred $6.3 million of pre-tax restructuring charges related to this announcement, bringing the year-to-date total to $30.5 million. In the fourth quarter, $6.1 million of restructuring costs were included in cost of sales and $0.2 million were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the full year, $28.2 million of restructuring costs were included in cost of sales and $2.3 million were a part of selling, general and administrative expenses. The company expects the restructuring actions will be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

The $19.5 million gain on the sale of assets in the Architectural Glass segment was included in cost of sales, and the $49.5 million impairment in Framing Systems was included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Outlook

The company is providing initial guidance for fiscal year 2023, with full year adjusted earnings expected to be in the range of $2.90 to $3.30 per diluted share. The company expects revenue growth in fiscal 2023, primarily driven by growth in Architectural Framing Systems. The company forecasts full year capital expenditures of $35 to $40 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release and other financial communications may contain the following non-GAAP measures:

• Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (“adjusted earnings per share” or “adjusted EPS”) are used by the company to provide meaningful supplemental information about its operating performance by excluding amounts that are not considered part of core operating results to enhance comparability of results from period to period. Examples of items excluded to arrive at this adjusted measure in recent reporting periods include: impairment charges, restructuring costs, acquired project-related charges, gains or losses from significant asset sales, and COVID-19 related expenditures.
• Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, minus capital expenditures. The company considers this measure an indication of its financial strength. However, free cash flow does not fully reflect the company’s ability to freely deploy generated cash, as it does not reflect, for example, required payments on indebtedness and other fixed obligations.
• Net Debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as the sum of long-term and current debt on our consolidated balance sheet, less cash and cash equivalents. The company considers this measure helpful to evaluate our capital structure and financial leverage, and our ability to fund investing and financing activities.
• Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. We believe this metric provides useful information to investors and analysts about the Company's performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of the company.
• Return on average invested capital (“ROIC”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as operating income (adjusted for certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuations from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of the company) after tax, divided by average invested capital. We believe this measure is useful in understanding operational performance and capital allocation over time.

An operational measure that management uses is backlog. Backlog represents the dollar amount of signed contracts or firm orders, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process, which is expected to be recognized as revenue. Backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of contract profitability. Backlog should not be used as the sole indicator of future segment revenue because we have a substantial number of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period and are not included in backlog.

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the company’s historical and prospective financial performance, measure operational profitability on a consistent basis, and provide enhanced transparency to the investment community. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the reported financial results of the company prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies.

Per share amounts are computed independently for each of the items presented so the sum of the items may not equal the total amount.
(1) Adjustment related to impairment charge recorded during the fourth quarter of the current year on indefinite- and long-lived intangible assets within the Architectural Framing Systems segment as a result of triggering events during the fourth quarter. For the prior year periods, impairment expense on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Architectural Framing Systems segment resulted from our fourth quarter annual impairment evaluation.
(2) Adjustment related to previously announced decision to exit certain operations in the Architectural Glass segment and reorganize operations within the Architectural Framing Systems segment, including $4.9 million and $21.5 million of asset impairment charges, $0.4 million and $6.2 million of employee termination costs and $1.0 million and $2.8 million of other costs associated with these restructuring plans incurred during the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2022, respectively. In the prior year, restructuring costs related to exiting certain facilities within the Architectural Framing Systems segment and other termination costs across the company.
(3) Gain on sale of building and related fixed assets within the Architectural Glass segment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and gain on sale of building within the Large-Scale Optical segment during the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
(4) Adjustment for impairment of minority equity investment is a result of the assignment for the benefit of creditors of all of the assets of a company in which Apogee holds a minority interest. The impairment was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and represents a write-down of Apogee’s entire investment in the company.
(5) Adjustment for COVID-19-related costs, primarily incremental labor costs due to quarantine-related absenteeism and personal protective equipment for employees.
(6) Income tax impact calculated using an estimated statutory tax rate of 25%, which reflects the estimated blended statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the charge or income occurred. Income tax impact in the current year periods excludes the tax benefit related to the impairment expense in certain jurisdictions due to a tax valuation allowance. Income tax impact in the prior year periods excludes the amount of impairment expense that is non-deductible in the applicable jurisdiction.
