George Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We reported another year of record revenue and earnings. Our employees stepped up and performed extremely well throughout the year, despite having to navigate challenges related to the supply chain, inflation, and labor. Overall, our solid results for the fourth quarter and full year reflected the benefit from our pass-through pricing strategy. Volumes increased in our North American Fenestration segment during the fourth quarter, but volumes decreased in our other operating segments and foreign exchange had a negative impact.  

“Free Cash Flow increased significantly during the fourth quarter of this year compared to the same period last year. We were able to repay $25 million of bank debt during the quarter and our balance sheet remains strong.” (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section and the reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to cash provided by operating activities for additional information)

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2022 Results Summary   

Quanex reported net sales of $307.5 million during the three months ended October 31, 2022, which represents growth of 5.4% compared to $291.8 million for the same period of 2021. The Company reported net sales of $1.22 billion during the twelve months ended October 31, 2022, which represents growth of 13.9% compared to $1.07 billion for the same period of 2021. The increases were primarily attributable to higher prices related to the pass through of raw material cost inflation. The Company realized net sales growth of 14.0% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 18.9% for the full year in its North American Fenestration segment. In its North American Cabinet Components segment, Quanex reported net sales growth of 2.1% for the fourth quarter and 12.0% for the full year. Excluding the foreign exchange impact, the Company realized 5.2% and 14.2% net sales growth for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, in its European Fenestration segment. (See Sales Analysis table for additional information)

The increase in earnings for the three months and twelve months ended October 31, 2022 was mostly due to increased pricing and surcharges related to the pass through of raw material cost inflation and higher volumes in the North American Fenestration segment. In addition, because of updates to taxable differences for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI), non-cash compensation, and bonus depreciation, the Company had a return to provision tax benefit of approximately $6 million in fiscal 2022.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity Update

As of October 31, 2022, Quanex had total debt of $13.0 million and its leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA improved to (0.2x), or net debt free.   (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section for additional information)

The Company’s liquidity increased to $362.0 million as of October 31, 2022, consisting of $55.1 million in cash on hand plus availability under its new Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due 2027, less letters of credit outstanding.

Share Repurchases

Quanex’s Board authorized a $75 million share repurchase program in December of 2021. Repurchases under this program will be made in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The Company was in possession of material non-public information related to the previously disclosed acquisition of LMI Custom Mixing, LLC assets and therefore was not able to repurchase any shares of common stock during the three months ended October 31, 2022. As of October 31, 2022, approximately $68.4 million remained under the existing share repurchase authorization.

Outlook        

Mr. Wilson stated, “As previously disclosed, we acquired the assets of LMI Custom Mixing, LLC on November 1, 2022 for $92 million in cash. This acquisition fits the profitable growth strategy we unveiled when we reported earnings for the third quarter, and we look forward to realizing the related synergies. Our balance sheet remains strong even after accounting for the recent acquisition, and we are committed to executing on our plan and creating further value for shareholders.   

Our long-term view continues to be optimistic as the underlying fundamentals for the residential housing market remain positive. However, like last year, based on current macro indicators and recent conversations with our customers, we are taking a measured approach to 2023 guidance. As such, we believe it would be premature to give guidance at this time. We intend to re-visit guidance when we report earnings for the first quarter.”

Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers

Adjusted Net Income (defined as net income further adjusted to exclude purchase price accounting inventory step-ups, transaction costs, certain severance charges, gain/loss on the sale of certain fixed assets, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, other net adjustments related to foreign currency transaction gain/loss and effective tax rates reflecting impacts of adjustments on a with and without basis) and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that Quanex believes provide a consistent basis for comparison between periods and more accurately reflects operational performance, as they are not influenced by certain income or expense items not affecting ongoing operations. EBITDA (defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other, net) and Adjusted EBITDA (defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude purchase price accounting inventory step-ups, transaction costs, certain severance charges, gain/loss on the sale of certain fixed assets, restructuring charges and asset impairment charges) are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to measure operational performance and assist with financial decision-making.  Net Debt is defined as total debt (outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility plus financial lease obligations) less cash and cash equivalents. The leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that the Company believes is useful to investors and financial analysts in evaluating Quanex’s leverage. In addition, with certain limited adjustments, this leverage ratio is the basis for a key covenant in the Company’s credit agreement. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated using cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Quanex uses the Free Cash Flow metric to measure operational and cash management performance and assist with financial decision-making. Free Cash Flow is measured before application of certain contractual commitments (including capital lease obligations), and accordingly is not a true measure of the Company’s residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Quanex believes Free Cash Flow is useful to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s financial and cash management performance. Quanex believes that the presented non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for comparison between periods and will assist investors in understanding the Company’s financial performance when comparing results to other investment opportunities.  The presented non-GAAP measures may not be the same as those used by other companies. Quanex does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
