Masonite International Corporation Reports 2017 First Quarter Financial Results
(Tampa, FL, May 8, 2017) - Masonite International Corporation ("Masonite" or "the Company") (NYSE: DOOR) today announced results for the three months ended April 2, 2017.
Executive Summary - 1Q17 versus 1Q16
| |
• | Net sales decreased slightly to $487 million versus $489 million. |
| |
• | Average unit prices increased in all three reportable segments. |
| |
• | Net income attributable to Masonite increased to $24 million versus $18 million. |
| |
• | Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.77 from $0.57. |
| |
• | Adjusted EBITDA* decreased to $53 million from $58 million. |
| |
• | Repurchased 144,447 shares of stock in the first quarter or approximately $11 million. |
“Sales volume was down slightly in the first quarter compared to a very strong comparative quarter in 2016. Disappointingly, our manufacturing performance in our North American Residential segment was poor in the quarter offsetting the impact of solid average unit price increases in all segments,” said Fred Lynch, President and CEO. “While 2017 began slowly compared to last year, both sales and operating performance improved sequentially each month in the quarter. We remain optimistic about the market conditions through the remainder of the year and are pleased with our progress on key strategic initiatives aimed at delivering our long term growth framework.”

First Quarter 2017 Discussion
Net sales decreased slightly to $487 million in the first quarter of 2017, from $489 million in the comparable period of 2016. The decrease in net sales was primarily from a 3% decline in volume and a 2% headwind from foreign exchange. The decline in volume was primarily the result of a strong quarterly comparable, increased demand in retail, and unseasonably warm weather in the first quarter of 2016. These decreases were partially offset by a 4% increase in average unit price. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, net sales would have increased 1%.
| |
• | North American Residential net sales were $338 million, a 3% increase over the first quarter of 2016, driven primarily by a 4% increase in average unit price partially offset by a modest volume decline. |
| |
• | Europe net sales were $70 million, a 13% decrease over the first quarter of 2016, due to 12% of negative foreign exchange. Average unit price increased 4% but was offset by a 3% decline in sales volume and 2% in components sales. |
| |
• | Architectural net sales were $72 million, a 2% decrease over the first quarter of 2016, driven by an 11% decline in sales volume which was partially offset by an 8% increase in average unit price. The sales volume decline was primarily the result of strong demand in our stock door business in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in average unit price was driven by both strength in higher end doors, which carry higher prices than stock doors and price increases implemented in 2016. |
Total company gross profit decreased 3% to $96 million in the first quarter of 2017, from $98 million in the first quarter of 2016. Gross profit margin decreased 50 basis points to 19.6%, due to operational inefficiencies and inflationary pressures primarily in the North American Residential segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $65 million were flat compared to the first quarter of 2016. Approximately $3 million of costs related to our new brand launch were offset by reductions in other areas. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 13.3% also essentially unchanged from the first quarter of 2016.
Net income attributable to Masonite increased $6 million to $24 million in the first quarter of 2017, from $18 million in the comparable 2016 period. In the first quarter of 2017, we recognized $5 million of income tax benefit due to the exercise and delivery of share based awards. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5 million to $53 million for the first quarter of 2017, from $58 million in the comparable 2016 period.
Diluted earnings per share and diluted adjusted earnings per share were $0.77 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $0.57 in the comparable 2016 period.
Masonite repurchased 144,447 shares of stock in the first quarter, at an average price of $77.90, or $11 million.

our ability to keep pace with technological developments; the actions taken by, and the continued success of, certain key customers; our ability to maintain relationships with certain customers; the ability to generate the benefits of our restructuring activities; retention of key management personnel; environmental and other government regulations; and limitations on operating our business as a result of covenant restrictions under our existing and future indebtedness, including our senior notes and our ABL Facility.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures 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. Adjusted EBITDA 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 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. Adjusted EBITDA is used to evaluate and compare the performance of the segments and it is one of the primary measures used to determine employee incentive compensation. Intersegment transfers are negotiated on an arm’s length basis, using market prices. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, from an operations standpoint, provides an appropriate way to measure and assess segment performance. Our management team has established the practice of reviewing the performance of each segment based on the measures of net sales and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to users of the consolidated financial statements because it provides the same information that we use internally to evaluate and compare the performance of the segments and it is one of the primary measures used to determine employee incentive compensation.
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. Items with future uncertainties include restructuring costs, asset
impairments, share based compensation expense and gains/losses on sales of subsidiaries and PP&E.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Sales. Management believes this measure provides supplemental information on how successfully we operate our business.
Adjusted EPS 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.
