Net sales decreased by $108.6 million, or 22.0%, to $384.9 million for the three months ended June 26, 2020, compared to $493.5 million for the three months ended June 28, 2019. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to $102.3 million of lower volume attributed predominantly to the impacts of COVID-19. The Company saw volume declines primarily in the armored cable and fittings and the metal electrical conduit and fittings product categories within the Electrical Raceway segment and the construction services and barbed tape product categories within the MP&S segment. Additionally, net sales decreased $9.1 million due to lower average selling prices resulting from lower input costs of steel and resin. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by increased sales of $5.1 million from the acquisition of the assets of United Structural Products, LLC. ("US Tray") and Rocky Mountain Pipe ("Cor-Tek") and the acquisition of Flytec Systems Ltd. and its parent holding company, Modern Associates Ltd., in fiscal 2019 (together, the "2019 acquisitions").

Exhibit 99.1
Gross profit decreased by $30.3 million, or 24.0%, to $95.8 million for the three months ended June 26, 2020, as compared to $126.1 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin decreased to 24.9% for the three months ended June 26, 2020, as compared to 25.6% for the prior-year period. Gross profit declined primarily due to lower volume as a result of the impacts of COVID-19.

Net income decreased by $12.5 million, or 34.1%, to $24.1 million for the three months ended June 26, 2020 compared to $36.6 million for the prior-year period primarily due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $24.8 million, or 28.0%, to $63.7 million for the three months ended June 26, 2020 compared to $88.5 million for the three months ended June 28, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit.

Diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") was $0.49 for the three months ended June 26, 2020, as compared to $0.75 in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased by $0.37 to $0.67 for the three months ended June 26, 2020, as compared to $1.04 in the prior year period. The decrease in diluted earnings per share and adjusted net income per share is primarily attributed to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower interest expense.

Segment Results

Electrical Raceway

Net sales decreased by $87.2 million, or 23.4%, to $286.0 million for the three months ended June 26, 2020 compared to $373.2 million for the three months ended June 28, 2019. The decrease in net sales is primarily driven by $87.6 million in lower volume attributed primarily to impacts of COVID-19. The Electrical Raceway segment saw volume declines in the armored cable and fittings and the metal electrical conduit and fittings product categories. Additionally net sales decreased $3.6 million due to lower average selling prices resulting from lower input costs of steel and resin. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by the 2019 acquisitions, which contributed $5.1 million in sales for the three months ended June 26, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 26, 2020 decreased by $19.3 million, or 25.1%, to $57.5 million from $76.7 million for the three months ended June 28, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased to 20.1% for the three months ended June 26, 2020 compared to 20.6% for the three months ended June 28, 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was largely due to lower volume, partially offset by the benefit of lower material costs in excess of declines in average selling prices, operational efficiencies and cost reductions in response to COVID-19, and the contributions from the 2019 acquisitions

Mechanical Products & Solutions ("MP&S")

Net sales decreased by $21.1 million, or 17.5%, for the three months ended June 26, 2020 to $99.5 million compared to $120.6 million for the three months ended June 28, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributed to lower volume of $14.7 million primarily attributed to the impacts of COVID-19 and certain one-time projects in the prior year period within the construction services and barbed tape product categories. Additionally, net sales decreased due to lower average selling prices resulting from the lower input cost of steel of $5.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $8.4 million, or 40.6%, to $12.2 million for the three months ended June 26, 2020 compared to $20.6 million for the three months ended June 28, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased to 12.3% for the three months ended June 26, 2020 compared to 17.1% for the three months ended June 28, 2019. The Adjusted EBITDA decrease is primarily due to the lower volume and the mix of products sold in the prior year period, partially offset by cost reductions in response to COVID-19.

Full-Year 2020 outlook

The Company is currently estimating fiscal year 2020 Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per diluted share to be down approximately 10% compared to fiscal year 2019.

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.

image1.jpg
Exhibit 99.1
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business and in the preparation of our annual operating budgets 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 (loss) before: depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, certain legal matters, transaction costs, gain on purchase of a business and other items, such as inventory reserves and adjustments, and realized or unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, insurance recovery related to damages of property, plant and equipment and release of certain indemnified uncertain tax positions. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share

We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income 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 stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax. We define Adjusted net income per share as basic and diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax.

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 ("TTM") basis. We believe the leverage ratio is useful to investors as an alternative liquidity measure.

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides meaningful information regarding the Company’s liquidity.

Third Quarter 2020 Earnings Presentation August 4, 2020 1


 
Cautionary Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements appearing throughout this presentation include, without limitation, statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, assumptions or current expectations concerning, among other things, financial position; results of operations; cash flows; prospects; growth strategies or expectations; customer retention; the outcome (by judgment or settlement) and costs of legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings, investigations or inspections, including, without limitation, collective, representative or any other litigation; and the impact of prevailing economic conditions. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seeks,” “aims,” “projects,” “is optimistic,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” and other comparable terms. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes, including, without limitation, our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the market in which we operate, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and the development of the market in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. A number of important factors, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Because of these risks, we caution that you should not place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to revise the forward-looking statements in this presentation after the date of this presentation. Market data and industry information used throughout this presentation are based on management’s knowledge of the industry and the good faith estimates of management. We also relied, to the extent available, upon management’s review of independent industry surveys, forecasts and publications and other publicly available information prepared by a number of third party sources. All of the market data and industry information used in this presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations which we believe to be reasonable, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Although we believe that these sources are reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information, and we have not independently verified this information. While we believe the estimated market position, market opportunity and market size information included in this presentation are generally reliable, such information, which is derived in part from management’s estimates and beliefs, is inherently uncertain and imprecise. Projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described above. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our estimates and beliefs and in the estimates prepared by independent parties. We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA over Net Sales), Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents), Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Leverage ratio (net debt or total debt less cash and cash equivalents, over Adjusted EBITDA on trailing twelve month (“TTM”) basis) to help us describe our operating and financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents), Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Leverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in our industry and have certain limitations and should not be construed as alternatives to net income, net sales and other income data measures (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP), or as better indicators of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net debt, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Leverage ratio, as defined by us may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other issuers. Our presentation of such measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. See the appendix to this presentation for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Per Share to Net Income Per Share, net debt to total debt, and Leverage Ratio. Fiscal Periods - The Company has a fiscal year that ends on September 30th. It is the Company's practice to establish quarterly closings using a 4-5-4 calendar.
