MASONITE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION REPORTS 2015 FIRST QUARTER
RESULTS AND REVISED EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL DATE
Earnings Conference Call Will Now Be Held on Tuesday, May 5th at 10:00am ET
(Tampa, FL, May 4, 2015) - Masonite International Corporation ("Masonite" or "the Company") (NYSE: DOOR) today announced results for the three months ended March 29, 2015.
Executive Summary
• | Net sales increased $12.0 million, or 2.8% to $434.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with the first quarter of 2014. Excluding a 4.9% unfavorable impact from foreign exchange, net sales would have increased by 7.8% to $455.4 million for the first quarter. |
• | Net loss attributable to Masonite increased $14.5 million to $31.1 million, or $1.02 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2015 versus the comparable 2014 period. Excluding the extinguishment of debt charges incurred in connection with its March 2015 debt refinancing, net loss attributable to Masonite would have decreased $13.6 million to $3.0 million or $0.10 per diluted share. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA1 increased $18.1 million, or 91.9%, to $37.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 versus the comparable 2014 period. |
• | In March 2015, Masonite issued $475 million of 5.625% 2023 unsecured notes and redeemed $500 million of 8.25% 2021 unsecured notes which is expected to lower annual cash interest expense by approximately $15 million. |
“Despite significant foreign exchange headwinds we had a very strong quarter with Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubling versus a year ago,” said Fred Lynch, President and CEO. "A modest improvement in the U.S. housing market, our on-going disciplined cost control and our focus on strategic growth initiatives are all helping us realize a more appropriate value for our high quality products and services."
1 See "Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information" for definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Masonite. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA has been revised from prior definitions to exclude loss on extinguishment of debt.
First Quarter 2015 Discussion
Net sales increased 2.8% to $434.5 million in the three months ended March 29, 2015, from $422.5 million in the comparable period of 2014. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, net sales would have increased by 7.8% to $455.4 million. The reported increase was primarily due to a $24.0 million improvement in average unit price and $9.1 million of higher unit volumes, partially offset by $20.9 million of negative foreign exchange and a $0.2 million decrease in net sales of other products.
Total company gross profit increased to $73.3 million in the three months ended March 29, 2015, from $53.0 million in the three months ended March 30, 2014. Gross profit margin increased 440 basis points to 16.9% of net sales in the first quarter of 2015, from 12.5% of net sales in the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to increases in average unit price.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) as a percentage of net sales decreased 30 basis points in the first quarter of 2015 to 13.4%, from 13.7% in the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2015 selling, general and administration expenses increased $0.4 million to $58.2 million from $57.8 million in the comparable 2014 period. The increase was driven by $1.4 million of incremental selling, general and administration expenses incurred in 2015 in connection with the operations of our 2014 acquisitions and an increase of depreciation and amortization of $1.2 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease due to foreign exchange impacts of $1.9 million.
Net loss attributable to Masonite increased $14.5 million to $31.1 million, or $1.02 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2015 versus the comparable 2014 period. Excluding the extinguishment of debt charges incurred in connection with the refinancing of its debt, net loss attributable to Masonite would have decreased $13.6 million to $3.0 million or $0.10 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 91.9% to $37.8 million for the three months ended March 29, 2015, from $19.7 million in the comparable period of 2014.
Debt Refinancing
On March 9, 2015, the Company issued $475 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2023. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, together with available cash balances, to redeem all $500 million aggregate principal amount of its existing 8.25% Senior Notes due 2021.
On April 9, 2015 the Company entered into an amended and restated $150 million asset-based revolving credit facility, which is secured by the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable in the United States and Canada. The Company increased the size of the committed facility to $150 million from $125 million, and extended the maturity date to April 9, 2020 from its prior maturity date of May 17, 2016. There are no balances outstanding under this facility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to measure operating performance. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, we revised our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to separately exclude loss on extinguishment of debt, which would be a component of other expense (income), net, but is separately stated due to its magnitude. The revision to this definition had no impact on our reported Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 30, 2014. As revised, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Masonite plus depreciation, amortization, restructuring costs, loss (gain) on sale of property, plant and equipment, asset impairment, registration and listing fees, interest expense, net, loss from extinguishment of debt, other expense (income), net, income tax expense (benefit), loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax, net income attributable to non-controlling interest and share based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition or profitability under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to (i) net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to Masonite determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA in this press release is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance. Not all companies use identical calculations, and as a result, this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA as presented for financial reporting purposes herein, although similar, is not the same as similar terms in the applicable covenants in our ABL Facility or our senior notes. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated under our ABL Facility or senior notes would also include, among other things, additional add-backs for amounts related to: cost savings projected by us in good faith to be realized as a result of actions taken or expected to be taken prior to or during the relevant period; fees and expenses in connection with certain plant closures and layoffs; and the amount of any restructuring charges, integration costs or other business optimization expenses or reserve deducted in the relevant period in computing consolidated net income, including any one-time costs incurred in connection with acquisitions. The table below sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Masonite for the periods indicated.
