  • Active in M&A during and subsequent to the quarter, closing on the Dodson Engineered Products, Inc. and Lock City Supply, Inc. acquisitions and signing a definitive agreement to acquire Earthsavers Erosion Control, LLC
  • Raising expectation for fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $710 to $750 million, representing year-over-year growth of 18% to 24%

“We delivered an extraordinary start to fiscal 2022, as we achieved strong growth in both net sales and Adjusted EBITDA,” said Steve LeClair, chief executive officer of Core & Main. "This marks our 25th consecutive quarter of average daily sales growth, with growth in the quarter being driven by strong demand across each of our end markets, higher average selling prices as we passed along rising material costs, execution of our sales initiatives to achieve market share gains, and acquisitions. Inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges persisted through the first quarter, but our execution allowed us to deliver remarkable results. I am proud of our teams across the country who continue to demonstrate resilience in a rapidly evolving environment. Although it is still early in the year, we are encouraged by current demand trends and expect Core & Main to produce another year of record results."

LeClair concluded, "We remained active in M&A during and subsequent to the quarter, highlighting our commitment to drive sustainable growth through acquisitions. We closed on the Dodson Engineered Products, Inc. and Lock City Supply, Inc. acquisitions and signed a definitive agreement to acquire Earthsavers Erosion Control, LLC. Each of these businesses are great examples of what we look for in acquisitions, offering expansion into new geographies, access to new product lines and the addition of key talent. We maintain a large and highly diverse acquisition pipeline, which we will continue to pursue to position ourselves for sustainable growth."

Three Months Ended May 1, 2022

Net sales for the three months ended May 1, 2022 increased $543 million, or 52%, to $1,598 million compared with $1,055 million for the three months ended May 2, 2021. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to price inflation, representing approximately three-fourths of the net sales increase, and volume growth. The volume increases were driven by strong market growth and share gains resulting from preferred access to products during a period of material shortages, which helped drive growth across all product lines. Net sales growth for pipes, valves & fittings and storm drainage products benefited from end-market growth, acquisitions and price inflation across most product lines. Net sales growth for fire protection products also benefited from end-market growth and price inflation across most product lines. Net sales of meter products grew at a slower pace primarily due to shortages of semi-conductor chips that are components of certain smart meter products.

Gross profit for the three months ended May 1, 2022 increased $164 million, or 64%, to $421 million compared with $257 million for the three months ended May 2, 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended May 1, 2022 was 26.3% compared with 24.3% for the three months ended May 2, 2021, an improvement of 200 basis points. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to strategic inventory investments ahead of announced price increases, a favorable pricing environment, the execution of our gross margin initiatives and accretive acquisitions.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended May 1, 2022 increased $52 million, or 34%, to $206 million compared with $154 million during the three months ended May 2, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $39 million in personnel expenses, which was primarily driven by higher variable compensation costs and headcount from acquisitions, and an increase in distribution costs related to volume and inflation. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was 12.9% for the three months ended May 1, 2022 compared with 14.6% for the three months ended May 2, 2021, an improvement of approximately 170 basis points. The decrease was attributable to our ability to leverage our fixed costs.

Net income for the three months ended May 1, 2022 increased $110 million to $137 million compared with $27 million for the three months ended May 2, 2021. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to higher operating income and lower interest expense, partially offset by an increase in income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended May 1, 2022 increased $110 million, or 101%, to $219 million compared with $109 million for the three months ended May 2, 2021. Growth in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to higher net sales, improved gross profit margins, and leveraging our cost structure on the increase in net sales and gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 340 basis points to 13.7% from 10.3% in the prior year period.

Capital Structure and Liquidity

Net Debt, calculated as gross consolidated debt net of cash and cash equivalents, as of May 1, 2022 was $1,545 million. Net Debt Leverage (defined as the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the last 12 months) was 2.2x, an improvement of 0.3x from January 30, 2022. The improvement was attributable to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by $57 million of borrowings under our Senior ABL Credit Facility.

As of May 1, 2022, Core & Main had total liquidity of $785 million, consisting of $1 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $784 million of excess availability under our Senior ABL Credit Facility, which is net of approximately $9 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

"We are raising our expectation for fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $710 to $750 million, which reflects our confidence in the stability of pricing and demand despite the current macroeconomic backdrop. We are confident in the long-term growth prospects of our business, including the undersupply of housing and ongoing demand for non-discretionary municipal repair and replacement activity," LeClair continued. "As we enter our summer selling season, we remain focused on our operating priorities and delivering a best-in-class customer experience."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net Debt Leverage, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not considered measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and the items excluded therefrom are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance or liquidity. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income or net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc., as applicable, cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our financial statements as an indicator of our financial performance or liquidity.

We define EBITDA as net income or net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc., as applicable, adjusted for non-controlling interests, depreciation and amortization, provision for income taxes and interest expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA as further adjusted for certain items management believes are not reflective of the underlying operations of our business, including (a) loss on debt modification and extinguishment, (b) equity-based compensation, (c) expenses associated with the IPO and subsequent secondary offering and (d) expenses associated with acquisition activities. Net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc. is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We define Net Debt Leverage as total consolidated debt (gross of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs), net of cash and cash equivalents, divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months.

We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net Debt Leverage to assess the operating results and effectiveness and efficiency of our business, Adjusted EBITDA includes amounts otherwise attributable to non-controlling interests as we manage the consolidated company and evaluate operating performance in a similar manner. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that investors consider them to be important supplemental measures of performance, and we believe that these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics reported by other companies and may not be calculated in the same manner. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

  • do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
  • do not reflect income tax expenses, the cash requirements to pay taxes or related distributions;
  • do not reflect cash requirements to replace in the future any assets being depreciated and amortized; and
  • exclude certain transactions or expenses as allowed by the various agreements governing our indebtedness.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net Debt Leverage are not alternative measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and therefore should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc. and other performance measures such as gross profit or net cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities and not as alternatives to such GAAP measures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation.

No reconciliation of the estimated range for Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2022 is included herein because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty to predict certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Consequently, we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be misleading to investors. In particular, the effects of acquisition expenses and associated taxes cannot be reasonably predicted in light of the inherent difficulty in quantifying such items on a forward-looking basis. We expect the variability of these excluded items may have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results
