Ply Gem Reports First Quarter 2011 Results
May 16, 2011 - Ply Gem Holdings, Inc. (“Ply Gem” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer of residential exterior building products in North America, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2011. Our first quarter highlights included:
|
·
|
Net sales were $200.1 million, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 2.0%, compared to the prior year first quarter of $204.2 million.
|
|
·
|
Excluding $6.7 million of buyback expense associated with a significant new customer win, our first quarter operating loss was $7.6 million compared to a $3.7 million loss for the first quarter of 2010.
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.5 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $12.1 million for the first quarter of 2010.
|
Gary E. Robinette, President and CEO, said “Ply Gem’s first quarter 2011 sales and Adjusted EBITDA continue to reflect the challenging conditions that exist in the housing market today. Despite single family housing starts being down 21% from the prior year, Ply Gem’s sales only showed a modest decline, reflecting a significant new customer win in the first quarter and further demonstrating our ability to gain profitable market share.”
Mr. Robinette continued, “Given that market conditions for 2011 are expected to remain challenging, Ply Gem will continue to focus on maintaining a lean overall cost structure while maximizing cash flow and striving to outperform the market place in all business units, which will ensure that Ply Gem emerges stronger as the housing market recovers.”

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations of Ply Gem Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The selected balance sheet data for the periods presented in Note 4 has been derived from the December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of April 2, 2011, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The Company’s fiscal quarters are based on periods ending on the last Saturday of the last week in the quarter. Therefore the financial results of certain fiscal quarters will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent fiscal quarters.
2. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense (net of interest income), provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash foreign currency gain/(loss), customer inventory buybacks, restructuring and integration costs, and gain/(loss) on modification or extinguishment of debt. Other companies may define adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA of other companies. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA included in this press release provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. The Company has included adjusted EBITDA because it is a key financial measure used by management to (i) assess the Company's ability to service its debt and/or incur debt and meet the Company's capital expenditure requirements; (ii) internally measure the Company's operating performance; and (iii) determine the Company's incentive compensation programs. In addition, the Company's Senior Secured asset-based revolving credit facility has certain covenants that apply ratios utilizing this measure of adjusted EBITDA. Although we use adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of adjusted EBITDA is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. Adjusted EBITDA included in this press release should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net earnings in accordance with GAAP as a performance measure. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on adjusted EBITDA.
