Norman C. Chambers, Chairman, President and Chief Executive, commented, “I’m very pleased to report we finished the fiscal year with increasing profitability in our fourth quarter and our best second half performance since 2008. After a first half plagued by extreme winter weather, supply chain disruptions and a stymied economy we were able to rebound in our second half and deliver a 152% year-over-year improvement in earnings per share for the fiscal year. Despite the choppiness of the nonresidential construction market this year, our initiatives have gained traction and we are beginning to see expanding margins and accelerating profitability. The health of our backlog and pace of bookings provide the momentum to generate meaningful improvements in the first half that will set the stage for a step up in earnings for fiscal 2015.”

 

Fourth Quarter 2014 Results

 

For the fourth quarter, sales decreased slightly to $392.4 million, or 1.9%, from $400.2 million in last year’s fourth quarter, due to slightly lower volumes in our Components and Buildings segments. Adjusting for the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2013, sales increased an estimated 6.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. On a sequential basis, sales increased 8.5% from $361.6 million in the third quarter.

Gross profit increased 7.0% to $93.4 million from $87.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 while gross profit margin rose to 23.8%, compared to 21.8% in the prior year’s period. The improved performance was driven by the impact of commercial discipline combined with value pricing and improved product mix.

 

Engineering, selling, general and administrative (ESG&A) expenses decreased 3.5% to $68.4 million from $70.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. As a percentage of revenues, ESG&A decreased approximately 30 basis points to 17.4% in the 2014 fourth quarter compared to 17.7% in the prior year’s period and was down from 18.2% in the 2014 third quarter. The decrease in costs from the prior year was due primarily to the inclusion of an extra week of activity in 2013 and higher operating leverage.

 

Operating income increased to $21.6 million from $16.5 million, or 31%, due to the expansion in gross profit margins.

 

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fourth quarter was $66.7 million compared to $77.4 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2013 and grew sequentially from $27.7 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014. In addition, the Company’s $150.0 million ABL facility remains undrawn at the end of the fourth quarter.

 

As noted above, Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and cash and other non-cash items, in accordance with the Company’s credit agreement was $36.3 million, up 20.6% from $30.1 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter and 45.4% higher than the $25.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA in this year’s third quarter. Adjusting for the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2013, Adjusted EBITDA increased an estimated 33.3 % year-over-year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. This growth marks a continuation of the trend from our third quarter, in which Adjusted EBITDA increased 47% year-over-year. Please see the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) in the accompanying financial tables.

 

The 2014 income tax provision includes a $2.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share, benefit for the release of a deferred tax valuation allowance related to our Canadian subsidiary, Robertson Buildings. The valuation allowance was released due to the current profitability and future expectations that the Canadian operations will remain profitable and realize the benefits of the existing net deferred tax assets.

 

For the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company reported net income of $14.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share. Acquisition related costs were offset by the aforementioned favorable tax benefit, resulting in adjusted net income of $13.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share. In last year’s fourth quarter, the Company reported net income of $8.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share.

 

Inventory levels increased 8% over the same period of the prior year to $131.5 million due to anticipated higher volume levels associated with the rising backlog. Annualized inventory turnover was 8.7 turns for the fourth quarter compared to 9.2 turns in last year’s fourth quarter and 8.2 turns in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

 

Capital expenditures were $18.0 million for fiscal year 2014. The majority of our expenditures were targeted at upgrading and improving facilities and systems.

Fourth Quarter 2014 Segment Performance

 

The Coatings group third party sales were $32.4 million, representing year-over-year and sequential quarter increases of 12.3% and 4.0%, respectively. Adjusting for the additional week in fiscal 2013, fourth quarter sales posted an estimated 21.2% increase over the prior year. Total sales, including internal activity, increased $3 million, or 5% compared to last year. Operating income decreased 15.6% to $6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 from $8.2 million in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year, but increased sequentially from $6.7 million in the 2014 third quarter. The group’s year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a $1.0 million gain on insurance recovery in 2013, lowered intercompany margins on coated heavy gauge material, and lower external margins from weaker product mix as we continue to fill our new Ohio coating facility.

 

The Components group generated $170.3 million in third-party sales, a 3.0% decrease from $175.6 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter, but a 5.0% increase sequentially from the fiscal third quarter of 2014. Adjusting for the additional week in fiscal 2013, fourth quarter sales increased 4.8% over the fourth quarter of 2013. Operating income decreased to $14.2 million from $16.9 million in the same quarter last fiscal year, but increased sequentially from $10.4 million in the 2014 third quarter. In addition to the impact of lower volume driven by fewer operating days, the segment’s year-over-year decrease in operating income was due to approximately $1.1 million in incremental costs associated with the ramp up of the new architectural panel facility. These incremental costs are expected to decline going forward as a result of the anticipated acquisition of CENTRIA, which has the capabilities in architectural panels that were previously being built internally.

 

The Buildings group total third party sales declined to $189.7 million, a 3.1% decrease, compared to $195.8 million in last year’s fourth quarter, but rose 12.7% sequentially from $168.3 million in the 2014 third quarter. Adjusting for the extra week in fiscal 2013, fourth quarter sales were up 5.2% over the fourth quarter of 2013. Operating income increased 114.4% to $19.4 million from $9.0 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter, and represented a 69.3% sequential improvement from $11.5 million in the prior quarter. The profitability of the Buildings group was enhanced by improving margins from the combination of commercial discipline, value pricing and improvements in operational efficiency.

 

Recent Developments

 

On November 10, 2014, NCI announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the acquisition of CENTRIA, an internationally recognized leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of architectural insulated metal panel (IMP) wall and roof systems and a provider of integrated coil coating services for the nonresidential construction industry, for approximately $245 million in cash. CENTRIA’s revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014 was approximately $230 million. The company operates four production facilities in the United States, 36 satellite sales locations and a new manufacturing facility in China.

 

CENTRIA has established a distinguished position in the high-end architectural insulated metal panel segment and architectural single skin segment by continually providing fresh and exciting new aesthetics in metal architecture that weds sustainable design and thermal efficiency. When combined with CENTRIA’s innovative product offering NCl will be well positioned to fully serve the cold storage, commercial and industrial and architectural market segments with the highest quality insulated metal panel product offerings available.

Market Commentary

 

Leading indicators for nonresidential construction activity continued to trend positive in the fiscal fourth quarter. According to CBRE Econometric Advisors data, robust absorption drove a 20 basis point decline in the national industrial availability rate to 10.5% in the calendar third quarter. Warehouse, the largest component of the industrial property sector, and manufacturing, each registered an availability drop of 20 basis points, which we expect will lead to a healthy pace of new construction starts to meet increasing demand in 2015.

 

The American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) Architecture Mixed Use Index increased from 54.8 in September 2014 to 56.9 in October 2014. The index has been above 50, which indicates an increase in billings, the last seven months and in growth territory for 22 of the last 26 months. In the first half of our fiscal year, the index was below 50 four of the six months. This dip in the index accurately foreshadowed the slower growth in sales volume we experienced during our fourth quarter in our Components group and validates our confidence in the index as a leading indicator. The index level suggests healthy levels of construction spending in the next nine to twelve months and supports expectations for U.S. nonresidential construction growth to accelerate in 2015. Furthermore, the New Projects Inquiry Index scored 64.8 in September and 62.7 in October, signaling continued positive momentum for near-term architectural billings.

 

The October 2014 Federal Reserve’s Senior Loan Officer Survey reported continued easing of lending standards for construction and land development loans and commercial real estate loans. Over the past three months, banks experienced modest increased demand for loans to nonresidential investments in commercial and industrial projects.

 

Summary/Outlook

 

“Despite a 40% year-over-year decline in Adjusted EBITDA for our first half, and slow second half market growth of just 2.2% in new construction starts for low-rise buildings, as measured in square feet, we achieved meaningful full year financial improvement. Commercial discipline combined with the recent realignment of manufacturing operations are driving top line growth and margin expansion across each of our business units as we continue to deliver high quality products and service. As our strategic initiatives continue to gain traction we expect the level of profitability we achieved in our second half to continue into 2015.

 

“We are encouraged that our bookings and backlog trends continue to suggest a broadening recovery in our non-residential construction markets. Notably, in November, the first month of fiscal year 2015, our backlog increased 11% year-over-year and bookings showed 27% growth over the same period last year. Although the recent decline in oil prices may create a slight headwind for our brands that operate in the oil and gas segment, historically the segment has accounted for less than 5% of our consolidated annual revenue. The anticipated addition of CENTRIA to the NCI family, as well as our continuing focus on manufacturing excellence and brand execution further strengthens our position to maintain our value pricing and accelerate our improving financial performance into 2015. “ Mr. Chambers concluded.

(1)

The Company’s Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA.  Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash charges for goodwill and other asset impairments and stock compensation as well as certain non-recurring charges.   As such, the historical information is presented in accordance with the definition above. Concurrent with the amendment and restatement of the Term Loan facility, the Company entered into an Asset-Based Lending facility which has substantially the same definition of Adjusted EBITDA except that the ABL facility caps certain non-recurring charges.  The Company is disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, because it is used by management and provided to investors to provide comparability of underlying operational results.
