PGTI Reports 2020 Third Quarter Results

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 3, 2020.

Financial Highlights for Third Quarter 2020 compared to Third Quarter 2019

• Net sales increased 20 percent, to $238 million, including $27 million from our NewSouth acquisition
• Gross profit increased 24 percent, to $87 million
• Net income increased 15 percent, to $17 million
• Net income per diluted share increased 12 percent, to $0.29, and Adjusted net income per diluted share increased 19 percent, to $0.31
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 24 percent, to $43 million

"PGT Innovations’ third quarter sales reflect strong demand in our key markets, including 7 percent organic growth and $27 million of sales from NewSouth Window Solutions,” said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2020 and into 2021, we expect sales growth based upon the strength of new orders, and our growing backlog. Our legacy Southeast and Western business units together saw order entries grow 26 percent over the prior-year quarter, while NewSouth increased orders by 48 percent. Execution of strategic selling and marketing initiatives has been a key driver of sales in addition to recovering market demand for our portfolio of products, aided by an active hurricane season.”

"Adjusted EBITDA increased 24 percent, to $43 million, while Adjusted EBITDA margins grew 50 basis points to 18 percent, driven by robust sales, improved operational efficiencies in our Western business and continued emphasis on controlling costs,” added Mr. Jackson.

"At the end of the quarter, total liquidity was $175 million, including cash on hand of $99 million and undrawn revolver capacity of $76 million, bringing our net debt-to-trailing-twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA ratio to 2.2 times. With strong recurring cash flow and overall liquidity, we also made voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the term loan totaling $10 million during the third quarter,” said Sherri Baker, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "As we think about capital allocation, we continue to prioritize internal investment in projects that we expect to drive margin growth or further improve our operational efficiency.”

"In the fourth quarter of 2020, we expect consolidated net sales, inclusive of NewSouth to be in the range of $200 million to $210 million, an increase of 14 to 20 percent compared to fourth quarter of 2019, reflecting current market strength and order entries booked through October,” concluded Baker.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release regarding our business that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "believe,” "expect,” "intend,” "positioned,” "assumptions” and similar terminology. These risks and uncertainties include factors such as:

• 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;
• our dependence on a limited number of suppliers for certain of our key materials;
• our dependence on our impact-resistant product lines 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 acquisitions of NewSouth and Western Window Systems;
• our level of indebtedness, which increased in connection with our acquisition of Western Window Systems, and increased further in connection with our acquisition of NewSouth;
• 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 acquisitions of NewSouth and Western Window Systems 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;
• 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 the acquisitions of NewSouth and Western Window Systems, 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 II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 3, 2020, and "Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 and our other SEC filings.

Statements in this press release that are forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our expectations regarding: (1) demand for our products in future periods, as the economies in our markets continue to reopen, and thereafter; (2) our ability to capture sales and sales growth; (3) the amount of operating expense savings and other possible benefits arising from the closure of our Orlando, Florida manufacturing facility and the consolidation of its operations into our Venice and Tampa, Florida facilities, and the timing of those benefits; (4) our ability to lower labor and other costs and improve operating efficiencies; (5) the strength of our balance sheet, our liquidity, our capital allocation priorities, and ability to preserve cash and liquidity generally; (6) our net sales and EBITDA margins for the third quarter of 2020; (7) our growth trajectory and market expansion; and (8) our inability to forecast and provide guidance regarding our financial performance for the 2020 fiscal year. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances from the date of this press release.

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). We believe 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. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a better 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.

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. We believe these measures enable investors and analysts to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to past performance and provide a better baseline for assessing the Company's future earnings potential. However, these measures do not provide a complete picture of our operations.

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.

Our calculations of Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to calculations performed by other companies and reported as similarly titled measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP measures. 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.
