American Woodmark Corporation Announces Third Quarter Results

American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the “Company”) today announced results for its third quarter of fiscal 2023 which ended January 31, 2023.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $21.0 million, or 4.6%, to $480.7 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net sales for the first nine months of the current fiscal year increased 16.9% to $1,585.1 million from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced growth in the builder and independent dealers and distributors sales channels during the third quarter and growth in all sales channels during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 versus the comparable prior year periods.

Net income was $14.7 million ($0.88 per diluted share) for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with a net loss of $49.3 million ($2.97 per diluted share) in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased due to the absence of onetime pension settlement charges of $69.5 million related to the termination of the Company’s pension plan in the prior year third quarter and an increase in net sales largely as a result of price increases and increased efficiencies. Net income for the first nine months of the current fiscal year was $63.6 million ($3.82 per diluted share) compared with a net loss of $44.2 million ($2.67 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net income margin was 3.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to (10.7)% for the same period in the prior fiscal year and 4.0% for the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared with (3.3)% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $1.46 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $0.60 in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year and $5.40 for the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared with $1.92 for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $20.4 million, or 66.8%, to $51.0 million, or 10.6% of net sales, compared to $30.6 million, or 6.6% of net sales, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 increased $81.6 million, or 87.4%, to $175.1 million, or 11.0% of net sales, compared to $93.5 million, or 6.9% of net sales, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $110.8 million and free cash flow totaled $91.5 million. The $140.3 million increase in free cash flows versus the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was primarily due to changes in our operating cash flows, specifically, higher net income, and lower customer receivables and, lower capital spending. As of January 31, 2023, the Company had $45.8 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand with no term loan debt maturities until July 2024 plus access to $277.6 million of additional availability under its revolving facility. The Company paid down $67.3 million of its debt during the first nine months of the current fiscal year.

“During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, our teams delivered sales growth of 4.6% and improved Adjusted EBITDA by 66.8% to $51.0 million,” said Scott Culbreth, President and CEO. “As stated in previous quarters, we committed to improving our results as price realization better matched inflationary impacts and we improved our costs through operating efficiency initiatives. Our team has delivered on this commitment during the first nine months of the fiscal year and I thank each of them for their efforts. Demand trends did slow during the third fiscal quarter, but we are maintaining our full year outlook for net sales growth of low double digits along with Adjusted EBITDA margins of low double digits.”
