NORCRAFT COMPANIES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

- Net Sales Grow 8.1% to $97.6 Million -
- Adjusted EBITDA Increases 18.2% to $14.9 Million -
- Net Income Improves to $4.8 Million, with EPS of $0.23 -

Eagan, Minnesota, August 13, 2014. Norcraft Companies, Inc. ("we", the “Company” or “Norcraft”) (NYSE: NCFT), a leading manufacturer of kitchen and bathroom cabinetry in the United States and Canada, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.
“We are encouraged by our continued improvement on multiple fronts with growth in our net sales, net income and cash flow providing momentum into the back half of 2014,” stated Mark Buller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Our ongoing shift in product mix towards higher end products remains on track for all our divisions as a result of our strategic growth initiatives. Our improved Adjusted EBITDA reflects our vigilant focus on costs, with our net income further benefiting from this focus and our dramatic reduction in interest expense. We are pleased with our progress during the quarter and excited to continue leveraging our well-positioned platform to further drive profits and cash flow.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS
Second Quarter of 2014 Compared with Second Quarter of 2013
In the second quarter of 2014, net sales increased $7.3 million, or 8.1%, to $97.6 million, as compared to $90.3 million in the second quarter of 2013. Sales increased in nearly all the Company’s divisions, driven largely by mix/price gains and promotional activity during the quarter.
Income from operations in the second quarter of 2014 increased $2.1 million, or 23.1%, to $11.2 million from $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to higher sales and improvement in labor efficiency and leverage of fixed manufacturing costs. These positive factors were partly offset by moderately higher material costs and increased incentive stock compensation expense from stock options issued in connection with the Company’s recently completed initial public offering.
Net income of $4.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014 represented an increase of $3.0 million compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2014 increased $2.3 million, or 18.2%, to $14.9 million, as compared to $12.6 million for the same quarter of 2013 (Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined in the table below).
At June 30, 2014, the Company had cash of $46.5 million and total long-term debt of $149.6 million, as compared to cash of $39.1 million and total long-term debt of $150.0 million at December 31, 2013.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION
Statements in this press release regarding activities, events or developments that management expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements may give management’s current expectations and projections relating to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘believe’’ and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.
These forward looking statements are based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting the Company. They are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in its forward looking statements are reasonable, management does not know whether its expectations will prove correct. Such expectations can be affected by inaccurate assumptions that management might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward looking statements including, but not limited to, the risks outlined under the “Risk Factors’’ section of the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014.
Because of these factors, investors should not place undue reliance on any of these forward looking statements. Further, any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.

Norcraft Companies, Inc.
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA
(dollar amounts in thousands)

EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before the effect of the footnoted items in the table below. The Company believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance compared to that of other companies in the industry, as their calculation eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, as these items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. The Company also believes these financial metrics provide information relevant to investors regarding the Company's ability to service and/or incur debt. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a presentation made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, when analyzing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or other operation statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to those of other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The calculations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are shown below:

(1) Prior to completion of the Company's initial public offering, the Company's board of directors adopted the Norcraft Companies, Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan. Stock compensation expense related to this plan was $0.5 million, $1.1 million and $1.4 million during the three, six and twelve months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
(2) In connection with the Company's initial public offering, the Company terminated the Management and Monitoring Agreement, which included a $1.0 million annual management fee. Certain expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations survived the termination of the Management and Monitoring Agreement. See the "Related Party Transactions" footnote in Part IV, Item 15 of the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(3) Net income (loss) during the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 included the effect of the restructuring costs associated with the Company's initial public offering in the amount of $1.5 million, which decreased net income (loss) and correspondingly decreased EBITDA, but the effect has been backed out for Adjusted EBITDA.





(4) Net income (loss) during the three, six and twelve months ended June 30, 2014 included expense related to tax receivable agreements in the amount of $2.8 million, $4.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, which decreased net income and correspondingly decreased EBITDA, but the effect has been backed out for Adjusted EBITDA.
(5) Net income (loss) during the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 included the effect of a loss on debt extinguishment in the amount of $12.5 million, which decreased net income (loss) and correspondingly decreased EBITDA, but the effect has been backed out for Adjusted EBITDA.
