MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
"We made significant progress on our margin recovery initiatives during the third quarter; however, customer de-stocking negatively impacted our top-line results during the quarter," stated David Bruce, President and Chief Executive Officer of FGI. "End customer demand has declined modestly during 2022 owing to macroeconomic headwinds and has remained mostly in-line with our expectations entering the year; however, the decision by key customers to aggressively reduce channel inventories caused third quarter revenues to decline by
"I am excited to announce that FGI expanded its geographic footprint into the United Kingdom and Australia," noted Bruce. "This is an important step in further growing our international presence, which we started several years ago first in Canada and followed by Germany. We see tremendous opportunities to leverage our existing product and operational base and to successfully grow into these new geographic regions. Both the UK and Australia have highly complementary products and channel-strategies with our existing Canadian and German businesses. We were recently awarded an order program with Bunnings, the largest home-improvement retailer in Australia, and we look forward to many years of growth with that customer, among many others. We are actively building our local talent base in both these countries and look forward to meaningful long-term growth opportunities in the years ahead."
"I am extremely proud of the significant progress we made on our margin recovery initiatives despite the macro headwinds during the third quarter, with gross margin improving by 325 basis points on a sequential basis," continued Bruce. "Strong growth in our newer, higher margin product lines, continued pricing momentum, and a reduction in freight costs combined to drive the strong margin performance, with gross margins quickly returning to levels witnessed prior to the supply-chain disruptions just over a year ago. We are confident in our ability to at least maintain these levels of gross margins and expect operating margins to move higher over time owing to growth in our higher margin product categories, a rebound in Bath Furniture, and operating leverage."
"In addition to the progress we made on our margin initiatives, we also saw significant improvements to our liquidity and cash flow conversion during the third quarter following the recent supply-chain disruptions," stated Perry Lin, Chief Financial Officer of FGI. "We were able to reduce working capital usage during the quarter, driving improved free cash flow conversion resulting in a third quarter of 2022 ending cash balance of
"While our strong margin performance was able to offset a portion of the headwinds faced during the third quarter, we are adjusting our fiscal 2022 guidance to reflect the significant channel inventory correction we experienced in the quarter," continued Bruce. "However, we think it is important to note that our net income guidance is being reduced by less than
STRATEGIC UPDATE
Consistent with its long-term strategic plan, FGI intends to drive value creation for its shareholders through a focus on product innovation, execution of its Brands, Products and Channels ("BPC") strategy to drive organic growth, margin expansion, and efficient capital deployment. Notable progress against these initiatives achieved during the third quarter were as follows:
- FGI continues to grow its custom kitchen cabinetry business under its Covered Bridge brand, generating strong growth in its dealer network, which increased to 126 at September 30, 2022, up from 71 at the start of the year with significant growth in the dealer channel expected to continue into 2023. The Company has also reached preliminary agreements with certain large national customers to act as their key custom kitchen suppliers, which should generate incremental growth in 2023 and beyond. As stated last quarter, FGI has invested in new manufacturing capacity to support the anticipated business development opportunities both in the dealer network and with large national customers.
- Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company's Jetcoat shower-wall program at Lowe's will be co-branded with their private-label brand and will be called "Allen & Roth Shower Wall System by Jetcoat". The new in-store point-of-purchase marketing material will make the purchase of Jetcoat walls together with FGI shower bases a much easier process while the strength of the Jetcoat brand in the market is expected to drive incremental sales into 2023.
- FGI will be launching several new product lines and brand initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023 across the Company's entire geographic footprint. FGI's flagship Craft & Main brand will be launching new products including new electronic bidet toilets that will give the Company a more complete program of bidet toilets at various price points and features. In Canada, FGI will officially launch the Jetcoat shower wall line to the Canadian wholesale market in November, and in Germany, FGI has announced a major sanitaryware product launch that should help drive a new cycle of innovation and product development. The Company is confident that the coordinated launch of these new products will further efforts to capitalize on the "BPC" strategy as FGI continues to upgrade product offerings with features, benefits, and styles that should drive incremental sales and profit growth. FGI will be displaying many of its new products at the 2023 National Kitchen & Bath Show in Las Vegas, NV in January 2023. FGI will have over 2,000 square feet of exhibit space, the largest exhibit in company history, and the exhibit will include all the Company's brands including Covered Bridge Kitchens, Contrac, Craft & Main bathroom products, and the Jetcoat Shower wall systems.
- Management continues to evaluate possible bolt-on acquisition opportunities to supplement its core organic growth strategy.
THIRD QUARTER 2022 RESULTS
Revenue totaled
- Sanitaryware revenue was
$25.5 million during the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of18% compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by volume weakness in the pro channel in Canada and the U.S. The revenue weakness was due in large part to inventory de-stocking, with end customer demand remaining relatively stable. - Bath Furniture revenue was
$5.6 million during the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of63% compared to the prior-year period. While order patterns were expected to begin to normalize in the back half of 2022, customers continue to de-stock to reduce channel inventory levels. The Company continues to expect a normalization in order pattens in the coming quarters as inventory levels adjust. - Other revenue was
$7.4 million during the third quarter of 2022, an increase of61% compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by continued volume growth in the shower systems and Covered Bridge custom-kitchen cabinetry businesses.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the measures presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following non-GAAP measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions. Our non-GAAP measures are: Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Operating Margins and Adjusted Net Income. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are supplemental financial measures of our performance only, and should not be considered substitutes for net income, income from operations or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other entities.
We define Adjusted Income from Operations as GAAP income from operations excluding the impact of certain non-recurring expenses, including IPO-related compensation and stock-based compensation expense and expenses related to COVID-19 protocols. We define Adjusted Net Income as GAAP net income excluding the tax-effected impact of certain non-recurring expenses and income, such as IPO-related compensation and stock-based compensation expense, expenses related to COVID-19 protocols and the impact of our PPP loan. We define Adjusted Operating Margins as adjusted income from operations divided by revenue.
We use these non-GAAP measures, along with GAAP measures, to evaluate our business, measure our financial performance and profitability and our ability to manage expenses, after adjusting for certain one-time expenses, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions. We believe these non-GAAP measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, and not in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations under GAAP, are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and the adjustments we make to these non-GAAP measures provide investors further insight into our profitability and additional perspectives in comparing our performance over time on a consistent basis.
The following table reconciles Income from Operations to Adjusted Income from Operations and Adjusted Operating Margins, as well as Net income to Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented.
