PGTI Reports 2021 Third Quarter Results and Maintains Fiscal 2021 Guidance

Rhea-AI Summary

PGT Innovations, a leader in premium windows and doors, reported third-quarter financial results for 2021, showing a 26% increase in net sales, reaching $300 million. This growth was partly due to the consolidation of Eco Enterprises. Gross profit rose 20% to $104 million, but the company reported a net loss of $0.11 per diluted share, primarily due to $25.5 million in debt extinguishment costs. Full-year sales guidance remains at $1.10 billion to $1.20 billion, with adjusted EBITDA expected between $160 million and $190 million.

Positive

• Net sales increased 26% to $300 million.
• Gross profit rose 20% to $104 million.
• Acquisition of Anlin Windows & Doors enhances product offerings.
• Positive outlook maintained for full-year sales guidance.

Negative

• Net loss of $0.11 per diluted share due to debt extinguishment costs.

VENICE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PGT Innovations, Inc. (NYSE: PGTI), a national leader in premium windows and doors, including impact-resistant products and products designed to unify indoor/outdoor living spaces, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended October 2, 2021.

Financial Highlights for Third Quarter 2021 compared to Third Quarter 2020

• Net sales increased 26 percent, to $300 million, which includes $25 million from consolidation of Eco Enterprises (f/k/a Eco Windows Systems)
• Gross profit increased 20 percent, to $104 million
• Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $0.11 per diluted share, driven primarily by pre-tax debt extinguishment costs totaling $25.5 million
• Adjusted net income was $0.26 per diluted share
• Adjusted EBITDA was $43 million

Full-Year 2021 Guidance (includes results for Eco from date of acquisition at 100% of its sales)

• Net sales expected in the range of $1.10 billion to $1.20 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA expected in the range of $160 million to $190 million

“Our ongoing efforts to increase manufacturing capacity have enabled us to meet strong demand across our key markets. With organic growth of 14 percent combined with the contribution of Eco Enterprises, we achieved a 26 percent growth in sales for the third quarter compared to last year's third quarter,” said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In response to the continued strength in the housing market, over the past year we have taken steps to increase hiring and employee training, implement manufacturing improvements, and secure our supply of key inputs such as glass and aluminum. We expect these investments to enable further growth as U.S. economic strength continues.”

“To offset the increased costs for raw materials and labor, we took a number of pricing actions earlier in the year which are beginning to take hold, and announced an additional price increase in October," Jackson continued. "Sales and margins improved sequentially from the second quarter, and with more realized pricing we anticipate further margin improvement in the fourth quarter and heading into 2022.”

“As our company continues to grow, we are excited to have recently named Eric Kowalewski as Executive Vice President of Florida Operations," added Jackson. "We believe Eric’s experience developing high-performance teams and global supply chains as well as leading multi-site manufacturing locations will drive further improvement of operations and integration of businesses.”

“Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we completed the acquisition of Anlin Windows & Doors, a widely regarded brand of vinyl replacement windows and doors in our western region. We believe Anlin will be a great fit with our existing Western Window Systems brand, which is a leading provider of aluminum products for the new home construction market. The acquisition allows us to serve both markets with a broad product portfolio and expanded sales network,” concluded Jackson.

“During the quarter, we completed a private offering of $575 million of 4.375% senior notes due in 2029,” said Brad West, Senior Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer. “The notes were offered to refinance our existing notes at a 2.375% reduction in interest rate, repay borrowings under our existing term loan facility, and together with borrowings under the Company’s credit agreement, the purchase price of Anlin. The debt refinancing will reduce our annual interest expense going forward.”

“With our positive outlook for the fourth quarter, we are maintaining our full-year guidance for 2021, including net sales in the range of $1.10 billion to $1.20 billion, and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $160 million to $190 million,” concluded West.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “assume,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “guidance,” “intend,” “many,” “positioned,” “potential,” “project,” “think,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding our acquisition of Anlin; pricing actions benefiting margins; improvement of our operations and business integration; and our Sales and EBITDA guidance.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

• the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related measures taken by governmental or regulatory authorities to combat the pandemic, including the impact of the pandemic and these measures on the economies and demand for our products in the states where we sell them, and on our customers, suppliers, labor force, business, operations and financial performance;
• unpredictable weather and macroeconomic factors that may negatively impact the repair and remodel and new construction markets and the construction industry generally, especially in the state of Florida and the western United States, where the substantial portion of our sales are currently generated, and in the U.S. generally;
• changes in raw material prices, especially for aluminum, glass and vinyl, including, price increases due to the implementation of tariffs and other trade-related restrictions or pandemic-related supply chain interruptions;
• our dependence on a limited number of suppliers for certain of our key materials;
• our dependence on our impact-resistant product lines, which increased with our acquisition of a 75% ownership stake in Eco Enterprises and its related companies (collectively, the “Eco Acquisition”), and contemporary indoor/outdoor window and door systems, and on consumer preferences for those types and styles of products;
• the effects of increased expenses or unanticipated liabilities incurred as a result of, or due to activities related to our recent acquisitions, including Anlin and our Eco Acquisition;
• our level of indebtedness;
• increases in bad debt owed to us by our customers in the event of a downturn in the home repair and remodel or new home construction channels in our core markets and our inability to collect such debt;
• the risks that the anticipated cost savings, synergies, revenue enhancement strategies and other benefits expected from our acquisition of NewSouth and from our Eco Acquisition, may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected or that our actual integration costs may exceed our estimates;
• increases in transportation costs, including increases in fuel prices;
• our dependence on our limited number of geographically concentrated manufacturing facilities, which increased further due to our Eco Acquisition;
• sales fluctuations to and changes in our relationships with key customers;
• federal, state and local laws and regulations, including unfavorable changes in local building codes and environmental and energy code regulations;
• risks associated with our information technology systems, including cybersecurity-related risks, such as unauthorized intrusions into our systems by “hackers” and theft of data and information from our systems, and the risks that our information technology systems do not function as intended or experience temporary or long-term failures to perform as intended;
• product liability and warranty claims brought against us;
• in addition to our acquisition of Anlin, and our Eco Acquisition, our ability to successfully integrate businesses we may acquire in the future, or that any business we acquire may not perform as we expected at the time we acquired it; and
• the other risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except to the extent required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard to any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the financial schedules include financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so excluded or included in the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, and Adjusted EBITDA provides investors and analysts with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors and analysts to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance compared to past performance. Management also believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a useful baseline for assessing our future earnings potential. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release are provided to give investors access to types of measures that we use in analyzing our results, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the related U.S. GAAP measures and should be read together with financial information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. The Company defines its non-GAAP measures as follows:

Adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. Adjusted net income per share consists of GAAP net income per share adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and analysts about the Company's performance because they eliminate the effects of period-to-period changes in taxes, costs associated with capital investments and interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash the Company must use to service its debt or pay its income taxes and thus does not reflect the actual funds generated from operations or available for capital investments.

Schedules that reconcile Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income are included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.

Adjusted EBITDA as used in the calculation of the net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio, consists of our Adjusted EBITDA as described above, but for the trailing twelve-month period, adjusted pursuant to the covenants contained in the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022.
