CARY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CNR) (“Cornerstone Building Brands” or the “Company”), the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America, today reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2022.

First-Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

Net sales for the first quarter were $1,566.8 million, an increase of 23.7 percent from the same quarter last year. The growth was primarily driven by favorable price actions across all segments in response to rising commodity costs and other inflationary impacts coupled with $45.1 million from strategic acquisitions net of divestitures from portfolio optimization actions.

Net income applicable to common shares was $101.5 million or $0.79 per diluted common share compared to a loss of $1.7 million or a loss of $0.01 per diluted common share in the prior year. Adjusted net income applicable to common shares¹ was $84.4 million or $0.66 per diluted common share, an improvement of 121 percent over the prior year. Included in net income was $58.7 million of proceeds from a legal settlement.

Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the first quarter of 2022 was $193.9 million, an increase of 41.5 percent over the same pro forma period a year ago. The improvement was primarily driven by disciplined price actions taken to offset inflationary impacts partially offset by lower volume across all segments, manufacturing inefficiencies as a result of supply chain disruptions and labor constraints, and higher SG&A expenses.

“Our team's focus on disciplined execution delivered record net sales and profitability,” said Rose Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to make significant progress towards becoming a premier exterior solutions provider by leveraging the strengths of our business model and optimizing our portfolio.”

Segment Results Versus Prior Year

Due to the timing of the Company’s fiscal calendar, first-quarter 2022 had one fewer fiscal day than first-quarter 2021.

• Windows segment net sales for the quarter were $702.1 million, an increase of 33.2 percent versus the same period last year. On a pro forma basis, net sales¹ increased 19.9 percent. Disciplined price actions in response to rising commodity costs and other inflationary impacts drove a 22.4 percent increase in pro forma net sales as compared to the same periods last year. Volumes were 2.5 percent lower, partially impacted by one fewer fiscal day in first-quarter 2022 compared with first-quarter 2021. Operating income was $46.2 million for the quarter, an increase of $16.9 million or 57.5 percent from the prior-year quarter. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA¹ was a record $82.4 million, an increase of 21.9 percent, primarily due to positive price mix net of inflation partially offset by manufacturing inefficiencies and an increase in SG&A expenses. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA¹ as a percentage of pro forma net sales¹ was 11.7 percent, as compared to 11.5 percent in the same period last year, a record first-quarter return.

• Siding segment net sales for the quarter were $333.0 million, an increase of 5.2 percent versus first-quarter 2021 primarily due to disciplined price actions which more than offset lower volume. Operating income was $27.4 million for the quarter, which was relatively flat to last year. Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $56.5 million or 17.0 percent of net sales, as compared to $57.1 million or 18.1 percent of net sales in the prior year.

• Commercial segment net sales for the quarter were $531.7 million, an increase of 25.6 percent versus the same period last year. On a pro forma basis, net sales¹ were 37.4 percent higher than the same period a year ago, driven by disciplined price actions to mitigate rising steel costs of approximately 53.7 percent partially offset by lower volumes of 16.3 percent. Operating income was $80.9 million for the quarter, an increase of $39.4 million from the prior year primarily due to positive price mix net of inflation, which more than offset the manufacturing impacts from supply chain disruptions and higher costs to serve our customers. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $89.6 million or 16.8 percent of pro forma net sales¹, an increase of 100.2 percent over the same quarter last year, primarily due to favorable price mix net of commodity and other inflation impacts of 184.0 percent, partially offset by lower volume and higher manufacturing and SG&A expenses.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

During the first quarter, Cornerstone Building Brands generated strong cash flow from operations of $190.1 million, an increase of $170.1 million from the prior year. The improvement was driven by legal settlement proceeds, higher earnings generation, and effective working capital management.

Unrestricted cash on hand was approximately $542 million and liquidity was approximately $1,222 million as of April 2, 2022. The Company’s net debt leverage ratio improved to 3.3x at the end of the first-quarter 2022 compared with 4.6x at the end of the first-quarter 2021.

Transaction with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice

On March 5, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”). The proposed transaction will result in the Company becoming a private company, and its common stock will no longer be listed on any public market. The transaction is subject to approval by holders of a majority of the shares not owned by CD&R and its affiliates and is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions. The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act of 1976, as amended, applicable to the proposed CD&R transaction expired on April 18, 2022. Additional details regarding the proposed CD&R transaction will be set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A that will be filed with the SEC.

Divestiture of the Coil Coatings Business

On April 10, 2022, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its coil coatings business to BlueScope Steel Limited (“BlueScope”) in an all-cash transaction for $500 million, subject to customary adjustments. The transaction includes products sold under the Metal Coaters and Metal Prep brands. For the twelve months ended April 2, 2022, the coil coatings business had net sales of approximately $232.3 million, which was reported in the Company’s Commercial segment.

In connection with the transaction, BlueScope and the Company will enter into long-term supply agreements to secure continued supply of light gauge coil coating and painted hot roll steel at favorable service levels, reaffirming Cornerstone Building Brands as a preferred solutions provider for metal buildings and roofing.

The transaction is expected to close in 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

Suspension of Guidance

Due to the announced transaction with CD&R, the Company will not be hosting a conference call in connection with its first-quarter financial results and will not provide financial guidance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.
