First Quarter 2016 Discussion
Net sales increased 13% to $489.3 million in the three months ended April 3, 2016, from $434.5 million in the comparable period of 2015. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, net sales would have increased by 16% to $502.2 million. The increase was primarily due to a $44.5 million increase in volumes and $20.2 million of improvements in average unit prices, partially offset by $12.9 million of negative foreign exchange.

•
North American Residential net sales were $328.7 million, a 20% increase over the first quarter of 2015, driven by $50.1 million of increased volumes and a $13.8 million improvement in average unit price, partially offset by $9.3 million of foreign exchange.
•
Europe net sales were $80.6 million, a 7% increase over the first quarter of 2015 driven by a $6.8 million improvement in average unit price and a $1.2 million improvement in sales of other products, partially offset by $2.6 million of foreign exchange.
•
Architectural net sales were $73.5 million, a 10% increase over the first quarter of 2015 driven by $6.4 million of increased volume, and $1.5 million of sales of other products, partially offset by $0.9 million of foreign exchange and $0.4 million of lower average unit price.

Total company gross profit increased 34% to $98.2 million in the three months ended April 3, 2016, from $73.3 million in the three months ended March 29, 2015. Gross profit margin increased 320 basis points to 20.1% of net sales in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to increases in average unit price and the favorable impact of volume on our fixed costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 12% to $64.9 million in the three months ended April 3, 2016. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 10 basis points to 13.3% in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in SG&A expenses was driven by increased personnel costs and SG&A related to recent acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses from recent dispositions.

Net income attributable to Masonite increased $48.9 million to $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2016 versus the comparable 2015 period.

Adjusted earnings per share were $0.57 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $(0.10) in the comparable 2015 period, which exclude charges related to the March 2015 debt refinancing.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 54% to $58.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 2016, from $37.8 million in the comparable period of 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information
Our management reviews net sales and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Net assets are not allocated to the reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to either net income or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Beginning with the third quarter of 2015, we revised our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to separately exclude loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries. The revision to this definition had no impact on our reported Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 29, 2015. Adjusted EBITDA (as revised) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Masonite adjusted to exclude the following items: depreciation; amortization; share based compensation expense; loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment; registration and listing fees; restructuring costs; asset impairment; loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries; interest expense (income), net; loss on extinguishment of debt; other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax; and net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest. This definition of Adjusted EBITDA is differs from the definitions of EBITDA contained in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes and the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated under our ABL Facility or senior notes would also include, among other things, additional add-backs for amounts related to: cost savings projected by us in good faith to be realized as a result of actions taken or expected to be taken prior to or during the relevant period; fees and expenses in connection with certain plant closures and layoffs; and the amount of any restructuring charges, integration costs or other business optimization expenses or reserve deducted in the relevant period in computing consolidated net income, including any one-time costs incurred in connection with acquisitions. The tables below sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Masonite for the periods indicated. We are not providing a quantitative reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the corresponding GAAP information because the GAAP measures that we exclude from our Adjusted EBITDA outlook are difficult to predict and are primarily dependent on future uncertainties.

Adjusted EPS for the quarter ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 is diluted earnings per common share attributable to Masonite (EPS) less asset impairment charges, loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries and loss on extinguishment of debt, net of related tax expense (benefit). Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of the Company and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding utilized for the diluted EPS and diluted Adjusted EPS calculation contemplates the exercise of all currently outstanding SARs and warrants and the conversion of all RSUs. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the weighted average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. For any periods presented which result in a net loss, no potential common shares relating to our equity awards were included in the computation of diluted loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive given our net loss position for those periods.
