Atkore International Group Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2017 Results

Diluted EPS increased to $0.28 from $0.22; Adjusted diluted EPS increased to $0.35 from $0.31;
Net income increased $4.9 million to $18.9 million from $14.0 million;
Net income margin increased to 5.1% from 4.0%; Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 15.1%;
Full-year Adjusted EPS guidance range tightened to $1.55 - $1.65

HARVEY, IL. - May 9, 2017 (BUSINESS WIRE) - Atkore International Group Inc. (the "Company" or "Atkore") (NYSE: ATKR) announced earnings for its fiscal 2017 second quarter ended March 31, 2017 ("second quarter").

"Our second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was in-line with our expectations. Despite continued softness in overall non-residential construction markets, we are seeing some momentum in our early-cycle products and stabilization within the general industrial market. Atkore is well-positioned to take advantage of expected market improvements with a focus on innovative new product introductions and continuous improvement initiatives," commented John Williamson, Atkore’s President and CEO.

2017 Second Quarter Results

Net sales for the second quarter increased to $372.8 million, an increase of 5.6% compared to $353.0 million for the prior-year period primarily due to increased sales within the Electrical Raceway segment.

Gross profit decreased by 3.8% to $87.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, as compared to $91.4 million for the prior-year period. The decline in gross profit was primarily attributable to lower sales of mechanical pipe products within the solar end market. Gross margin decreased to 23.6% in the second quarter from 25.9% in the prior-year period. Gross margin was negatively impacted as a result of passing through rising input costs.

Net income increased $4.9 million to $18.9 million for the second quarter, as compared to $14.0 million for the prior-year period. The increase in net income was primarily driven by $6.4 million of lower stock-based compensation expense, lower interest expense of $5.3 million resulting from lower debt and lower interest rates driven by our debt refinancing transactions on December 22, 2016 as well as the recognition of a $5.8 million gain on the sale of the company’s minority interest in a joint venture. The increase is partially offset by a $7.5 million accrual for a legal contingency for the period November 2014 through March 2017 related to a U.S. Commerce Department ruling on malleable iron pipe fittings and $3.6 million of lower tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3.8%, or $2.2 million, to $56.1 million for the second quarter, as compared to $58.4 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased to 15.1%, as compared to 16.5% for the prior-year period. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in gross profit.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.28 for the quarter compared to $0.22 in the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased by $0.04 to $0.35 for the second quarter as compared to $0.31 for the prior-year period.

Segment Results

Electrical Raceway

Electrical Raceway net sales increased $19.8 million, or 8.6%, to $251.1 million for the second quarter, as compared to $231.3 million for the prior-year period, primarily resulting from our ability to pass through higher input costs.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.7 million, or 6.4%, to $44.9 million for the second quarter, as compared to $42.2 million for the prior-year period, primarily due to the pass-through impact of higher input costs and our ability to earn a premium from meeting customer expectations of product availability, delivery service levels and co-loading capabilities and improved manufacturing productivity, partially offset by lower sales volumes resulting from softness in non-residential activity.

Mechanical Products & Solutions ("MP&S")

MP&S net sales were in-line with the prior year period, experiencing a slight reduction of $0.2 million, or 0.2%, to $122.0 million for the second quarter, as compared to $122.2 million for the prior-year period.

Exhibit 99.1


Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.1 million, or 22.6%, to $17.3 million for the second quarter as compared to $22.3 million for the prior-year period, primarily due to lower sales volumes of mechanical pipe products within the solar end-market, which are typically higher margin products.

2017 Full-Year Guidance

The Company is tightening its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $235.0 million - $245.0 million for 2017 and its Adjusted EPS guidance range to $1.55 - $1.65 primarily due to continued softness in the non-residential construction markets.

A reconciliation of the forward-looking full-year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA outlook is not being provided, as the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliations.

The Company assumes no obligation to update the information contained herein, which speaks only as of the date hereof.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes certain financial information, not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliations below in this press release for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Exhibit 99.1

Adjusted Net Sales

We present Adjusted net sales to facilitate comparisons of reported net sales from period to period within our MP&S segment. In August 2015, we announced plans to exit the Fence and Sprinkler product lines in order to re-align our long-term strategic focus. These product lines were exited during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Management uses Adjusted net sales to evaluate our ongoing business operations, which no longer include Fence and Sprinkler. We define Adjusted net sales as reported net sales excluding net sales directly attributable to Fence and Sprinkler.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business, and we use each in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before: depreciation and amortization, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, interest expense (net), income tax expense, restructuring and impairments, stock-based compensation, legal matters, consulting fees, transaction costs, gain on sale of joint venture, other items, and the impact from our Fence and Sprinkler exit. Prior to fiscal 2017, net income was also adjusted to exclude net periodic pension benefit costs and the impact from anti-microbial coated sprinkler pipe, or "ABF" product liability. These costs are no longer an adjustment to EBITDA beginning in fiscal 2017. Prior fiscal years have not been restated for this change due to the relative insignificance and nature of the amounts. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of our business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted net sales.

Net Income Margin

We define Net Income Margin as Net income as a percentage of Net sales.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share

We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company’s results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure provide an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and or non-cash items. We define Adjusted net income as net income before consulting fees, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense and other items, including the impact from our Fence and Sprinkler exit. We define Adjusted earnings per share as basic and diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of consulting fees, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, gain on sale of joint venture, legal matters, stock-based compensation and other items, including the impact from our Fence and Sprinkler exit.

Leverage Ratio - Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA

We define leverage ratio as the ratio of net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) to Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve month basis. We believe the leverage ratio is useful to investors as an alternative liquidity measure.
