George Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The results we reported for the three months ended July 31, 2023 were a record for Quanex from both an earnings and margin perspective. Demand continued to improve across all product lines during the third quarter of this year compared to the first half of the year. In addition, we believe the customer inventory rebalancing that impacted results in our fenestration segments in the first half have subsided and did not affect third quarter results.

“When compared to the third quarter of 2022, revenue declined in the third quarter of 2023 across all operating segments as ongoing macroeconomic challenges led to market volume declines and some pricing pressure, mostly due to surcharge rollbacks and index pricing decreases in North America as raw material costs declined. Despite this pressure on the topline, we converted well and realized margin expansion across all operating segments. Our continued focus on operational efficiency proved beneficial and our ability to flex our cost structure to meet demand trends across product lines also helped improve our profitability during the quarter.

“We continue to do a good job of managing working capital and generating cash, which enabled us to pay down our bank debt by $25 million during the third quarter. In fact, we are currently on track to generate record free cash flow this year. In addition, our balance sheet remains strong, and our leverage ratio improved compared to the second quarter of this year.” (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section for additional information)

Third Quarter 2023 Results Summary   

The Company reported net sales of $299.6 million during the three months ended July 31, 2023, which represents a decrease of 7.5% compared to $324.0 million for the same period of 2022. The decrease was mostly attributable to softer market demand and lower pricing in North America.   Quanex realized a decline in net sales of 4.1% for the third quarter of 2023 in its North American Fenestration segment. Excluding the contribution from the LMI Custom Mixing assets we acquired on November 1, 2022, net sales in the North American Fenestration segment would have declined by 14.9% year-over-year. The Company reported a decline in net sales of 23.6% in its North American Cabinet Components segment and a decrease of 2.8% in net sales in its European Fenestration segment, excluding foreign exchange impact. (See Sales Analysis table for additional information)

The increase in earnings for the three months ended July 31, 2023 was largely attributable to operational efficiency gains, cost control and a decrease in income tax expense. As such, Quanex was able to realize margin expansion in each of its operating segments and on a consolidated basis.

Balance Sheet Update

As of July 31, 2023, Quanex had total debt of $110.8 million ($57.9 million excluding real-estate leases that are considered “finance” leases under U.S. GAAP) and the Company’s leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA decreased to 0.3x (Net Debt free excluding these real-estate leases). As of July 31, 2023, Quanex’s LTM Adjusted EBITDA was $147.5 million and LTM Net Income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, was $79.8 million.   (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section, Net Debt Reconciliation table and Last Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table for additional information)

Outlook        

Mr. Wilson commented, “We were cautiously optimistic heading into the second half of our fiscal year based on our belief that we were seeing a return to normal seasonality. Our third quarter results reinforced that belief. Based on our results year-to-date, combined with our operational execution, recent demand trends and conversations with our customers, we are updating our guidance for fiscal 2023. On a consolidated basis for fiscal 2023, we currently estimate that we will generate net sales of approximately $1.125 billion, which is towards the lower end of prior guidance as indicated on our last earnings call; however, we are increasing our Adjusted EBITDA* guidance to $150 million to $155 million.

Our capital allocation priorities continue to be generating cash, paying down debt, evaluating growth opportunities and opportunistically buying back our stock.”

*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.
