PART I

 

Item 1. BUSINESS

 

American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets. American Woodmark was formed in 1980 by the four principal managers of the Boise Cascade Cabinet Division through a leveraged buyout of that division. American Woodmark was operated privately until July of 1986 when it became a public company through a registered public offering of its common stock.

 

American Woodmark currently offers framed stock cabinets in approximately 230 different cabinet lines, ranging in price from relatively inexpensive to medium-priced styles. Styles vary by design and color from natural wood finishes to low-pressure laminate surfaces. The product offering of stock cabinets includes approximately 80 door designs in nine colors. Stock cabinets consist of a common box with standard interior components and an oak, cherry, maple or hickory front frame.

 

Products are primarily sold under the brand names of American Woodmark®, Timberlake®, and Shenandoah Cabinetry®.

 

American Woodmark’s products are sold on a national basis across the United States to the remodeling and new home construction markets. The Company services these markets through three primary channels: home centers, major builders, and independent dealers and distributors. The Company distributes its products to each market channel directly from five assembly plants through a third party logistics network.

 

The primary raw materials used include oak, maple, cherry and hickory lumber. Additional raw materials include paint, particleboard, manufactured components and hardware. The Company currently purchases paint from one supplier; however, other sources are available. Other raw materials are purchased from more than one source and are readily available.

 

American Woodmark operates in a highly fragmented industry that is composed of several thousand local, regional and national manufacturers. The Company’s principal means for competition is its breadth and variety of product offering, expanded service capabilities and affordable quality. American Woodmark believes that no other company in the industry has more than a 20% share of the market. The Company also believes it is one of the three largest manufacturers of kitchen cabinets in the United States.

 

The Company’s business has historically been subjected to seasonal influences, with higher sales typically realized in the second and fourth fiscal quarters. General economic forces and changes in the Company’s customer mix have reduced seasonal fluctuations in revenue over the past few years.

 

During the last fiscal year, American Woodmark had two customers, The Home Depot and Lowe’s Companies, Inc., which each accounted for more than 10% of sales. The loss of either would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

As of April 30, 2004, the Company had 5,903 employees. Approximately 13% of the Company’s employees are represented by labor unions. The Company believes that employee relations are good.

 

American Woodmark’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports are available free of charge on the Company’s Web site at www.americanwoodmark.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1)   In January 2001 and August 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved plans to repurchase up to $10 million per plan of the Company’s common stock. These plans have no expiration date. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company had no repurchases under the approved plans. At April 30, 2004, $4.2 million remained authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

  (2)   The Company repurchased approximately 89,000 shares of its common stock in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. These repurchases were the result of common stock being surrendered by employees for the purpose of payment of options exercised and income tax withholdings as permitted by the shareholder approved 1996 and 1999 Employee Stock Option Plans. The dollar value of this repurchase transaction is appropriately reflected in the Company’s statement of retained earnings but has no impact on previously announced repurchase programs outlined in (1) above.
