AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

WINCHESTER, Virginia (May 26, 2020) -- American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the "Company") today announced results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020.

Net sales for the fourth fiscal quarter decreased 2.0% to $399.2 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net sales for fiscal 2020 increased 0.3% to $1,650.3 million from the prior fiscal year.  The Company experienced growth in the builder channel during the fourth quarter and fiscal 2020, which was more than offset by declines in the home center and independent dealers and distributors channels during the fourth fiscal quarter and only partially offset during fiscal 2020.

Net income was $13.0 million ($0.77 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared with $22.0 million ($1.30 per diluted share) in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was negatively impacted by lower sales, tariffs, particleboard supply disruption costs and expenses related to the temporary suspension of operations in our component plants in Mexico. All of the Company’s manufacturing facilities and service centers, including the component plants in Mexico, are currently open and operating. Net income for fiscal 2020 was $74.9 million ($4.42 per diluted share) compared with $83.7 million ($4.83 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.  Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $1.33 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared with $1.87 in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year and $6.59 for fiscal 2020 compared with $6.91 for the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth fiscal quarter was $53.4 million, or 13.4% of net sales, compared to $63.8 million, or 15.7% of net sales, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the current fiscal year was $236.0 million, or 14.3% of net sales, compared to $244.9 million, or 14.9% of net sales, for the prior fiscal year.

“We are very pleased with our overall performance, despite the challenges presented related to COVID-19,” said Cary Dunston, Chairman and CEO. “Although we did experience limited disruption in our operations that impacted our ability to ship stock product, our teams have done an amazing job of creating safe working environments to allow us to continue to operate throughout the pandemic.  While net revenue was down slightly for the quarter, we had nice growth in our builder business.  In addition, demand on our stock business remains strong with our plants now fully operational.”

Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2020 was $177.5 million and free cash flow totaled $136.8 million. The Company paid down $96.0 million of its term loan facility during fiscal 2020. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had $97.1 million of cash on hand with no term loan debt maturities until December 2022 plus access to $94.3 million of additional availability under our revolver.

Due to the ongoing market conditions related to COVID-19, the Company has taken steps during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to reduce our expenses through a combination of permanent and temporary layoffs. These actions are expected to reduce overhead expenses by approximately $8 million on an annualized basis. The Company recognized a charge of $0.2 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and anticipates taking an additional charge of approximately $1.4 million for severance and related expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below.

Management believes all of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current period’s results against the corresponding prior period’s results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EPS per diluted share

We use Adjusted EPS per diluted share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company’s results by providing an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and/or non-cash items. We define Adjusted EPS per diluted share as diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of (1) expenses related to the acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. ("RSI acquisition"), the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition, (2) non-recurring restructuring charges, (3) the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (4) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and (5) the tax benefit of RSI acquisition expenses and subsequent restructuring charges, the net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The amortization of intangible assets is driven by the RSI acquisition and will recur in future periods. Management has determined that excluding amortization of intangible assets from our definition of Adjusted EPS per diluted share will better help it evaluate the performance of our business and profitability and we have also received similar feedback from some of our investors. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, management determined that adding non-recurring restructuring charges was an appropriate adjustment due to their non-recurring nature.

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 adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (5) expenses related to the RSI acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition, (6) non-recurring restructuring charges, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) gain/loss on asset disposals, (9) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts and (10) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented




AMWD Announces Fourth Quarter Results
Page 5
May 26, 2020



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 net sales.

Free cash flow

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to subtract amounts for capital expenditures consisting of cash payments for property, plant and equipment and cash payments for investments in displays from cash flows from continuing operations which is how we define free cash flow. Management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. It also provides a measure of our ability to repay our debt obligations.

Net leverage

Net leverage is a performance measure that we believe provides investors a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents that eventually could be used to repay outstanding debt.

We define net leverage as net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following tables:
