George Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are proud of the results we posted for the third quarter, especially considering the ongoing inflationary challenges and macro-related uncertainties. Demand for our products held up nicely for most of the third quarter and results reflected the benefit from our pass-through pricing strategy; however, we did start to experience some softness in demand in Europe towards the end of July.

“Free Cash Flow increased significantly during the third quarter of this year compared to the same period last year. The improvement in Free Cash Flow was driven by a meaningful increase in net income. We were able to repay $25 million of bank debt and repurchase $5 million of our common stock during the quarter. Overall, our balance sheet and liquidity remain strong. We will continue to focus on generating cash, maintaining a healthy balance sheet, opportunistically repurchasing our stock and evaluating growth opportunities.” (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section and the reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to cash provided by operating activities for additional information)

Third Quarter 2022 Results Summary

Quanex reported net sales of $324.0 million during the three months ended July 31, 2022, which represents growth of 15.8% compared to $279.9 million for the same period of 2021. The increase was mostly attributable to higher prices related to the pass through of raw material cost inflation. More specifically, the Company realized net sales growth of 25.0% in its North American Fenestration segment, 17.0% in its North American Cabinet Components segment and 8.7% in its European Fenestration segment, excluding the foreign exchange impact. (See Sales Analysis table for additional information)

The increase in earnings for the three months ended July 31, 2022 was largely 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.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity Update

As of July 31, 2022, Quanex had total debt of $38.0 million and its leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA improved to 0.1x.   (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section for additional information)

The Company’s liquidity increased to $332.0 million as of July 31, 2022, consisting of $50.0 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 repurchased 216,000 shares of common stock for approximately $5.0 million at an average price of $23.29 per share during the three months ended July 31, 2022. As of July 31, 2022, approximately $68.4 million remained under the existing share repurchase authorization.

Outlook

Mr. Wilson commented, “We are reaffirming guidance for fiscal 2022, which is based on our strong results year-to-date coupled with ongoing conversations with our customers. Overall, demand for our products is still relatively healthy, but in addition to the softness in Europe we are starting to see signs of softness in North America, mainly in our cabinet components business. For the fourth quarter of this year, we now expect ~15% revenue growth in our North American Fenestration segment and low-single digit revenue growth in our North American Cabinet Components segment. Due to continued softness in Europe and the foreign exchange impact, we expect revenue to decline by ~15% in our European Fenestration segment in the fourth quarter. As a reminder, on a consolidated basis, we guided to net sales of $1.18 billion to $1.2 billion, which we expect will generate approximately $150 million to $155 million in Adjusted EBITDA* in fiscal 2022.

Longer-term, the underlying fundamentals remain positive for the residential housing industry in North America and in the markets we serve in Europe. Our balance sheet is strong and we are well-positioned to weather any storm, and we are also prepared to execute on our plan and create further value for shareholders over time.”

*When Quanex provides expectations for Adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measures is generally not available without unreasonable effort. Certain items required for such a reconciliation are outside of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted or estimated, such as the provision for income taxes.

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.
