AZZ Inc. Reports Fiscal Year 2024 Third Quarter Results
AZZ Delivers Growth in Sales, Profits, and Cash Flow Supporting Debt Pay Down
Narrowing Annual Guidance
January 9, 2024 - FORT WORTH, TX - AZZ Inc. (NYSE: AZZ), the leading independent provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended November 30, 2023.
Third Quarter Overview (results from continuing operations as compared to prior year(1)):
◦Total Sales $381.6 million, up 2.2%
▪Metal Coatings sales of $163.2 million, up 3.1%
▪Precoat Metals sales of $218.4 million, up 1.6%
◦Diluted EPS of $0.92, up 55.9% versus prior year, Adjusted EPS of $1.19, up 52.6%
◦Net Income of $26.9 million, up 45.8%
◦Adjusted net income of $34.8 million, up 78.3%
◦Adjusted EBITDA $86.4 million or 22.6% of sales, versus prior year of $68.9 million or 18.5% of sales
◦Segment EBITDA margin of 30.0% for Metal Coatings and 18.4% for Precoat Metals
◦Reduced debt by $25.0 million in the quarter, resulting in net leverage of 3.1x
(1) Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures as defined and reconciled in the tables below.
Tom Ferguson, President, and Chief Executive Officer of AZZ, commented, "Both segments performed well in the third quarter, delivering organic sales growth of 3.1% for Metal Coatings and 1.6% for Precoat Metals. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin grew to 22.6%, driven by a favorable mix and a continuation of improvements in operational efficiencies over the prior year. Metal Coatings benefited from strength in transmission and distribution, as well as bridge and highway markets spending, and delivered an EBITDA margin of 30.0%. Precoat Metals' EBITDA margin of 18.4%, significantly improved over prior year, resulted from strong conversion-selling and value pricing to offset inflation, with a backdrop of certain end-market softness related to the construction, HVAC and transportation markets."
"With our strong cash flow generation and effective management of working capital, we have reduced our debt by $85 million year-to-date, including $25 million in the third quarter. Our greenfield plant construction in Washington, Missouri, is progressing, and we are continuing to track to our timeline and budget. This year's capital expenditures of approximately $119 million include about $70 million of spending related to the new plant. Additionally, we recently repriced the terms of our Senior Secured Revolver Credit Agreement, resulting in lower interest costs moving forward. We are strengthening our balance sheet and remain committed to reducing our debt and leverage."
"While the fourth quarter typically represents a seasonally slower period for AZZ, we anticipate meaningfully improved profitability over prior year same quarter. Secular tailwinds exist for non-building construction on infrastructure and renewables projects, reshoring of manufacturing, and continued migration to more environmentally friendly pre-painted steel and aluminum. I want to thank our AZZ team for their dedicated performance in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024," Ferguson concluded.
Fiscal Year 2024 Third Quarter Segment Performance
AZZ Metal Coatings
Sales increased year-over-year by 3.1% to $163.2 million, due to the progression of infrastructure spending and value-pricing strategies. Adjusted EBITDA of $49.0 million, or 30.0% of sales, reflects results within our 25-30% targeted Adjusted EBITDA range.
AZZ Precoat Metals
Sales of $218.4 million increased year-over-year by 1.6% despite lower volume in HVAC, transportation, and container end markets. Average selling price increased 4% compared to the same quarter last year, driven by value-pricing initiatives and a shift in sales mix. EBITDA of $40.3 million, or 18.4% of sales, increased 240 basis points from the prior year quarter and within our targeted range of 17-22%.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Allocation
The Company generated significant operating cash of $180.9 million for the year's first nine months through improved earnings and disciplined working capital management. At the end of the third quarter, net leverage was 3.1x TTM EBITDA. During the year-to-date period ended November 30, 2023, the Company paid down debt of $85 million and returned cash to common shareholders through cash dividend payments totaling $12.8 million. Capital expenditures were $66.9 million year-to-date, and full fiscal year capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $119 million.
Financial Outlook - Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance
Narrowing and revising upward fiscal year 2024 guidance to reflect AZZ's nine-month actual results and fourth quarter projections. Guidance includes estimated interest expense benefits from the repricing of our Term Loan B and the December repricing of our Senior Secured Revolver, and the reduction of another $25 million in debt in the third quarter, as well as Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries (40% AVAIL investment). These actions have helped offset the impact of the higher interest rate environment. The computation of Adjusted earnings per diluted share also reflects the impact of the Series A Preferred stock and an effective tax rate of approximately 24% for the year.
| Previous <br>FY24 Guidance | Revised<br>FY24 Guidance | |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | $1.40 - $1.55 billion | $1.45 - $1.55 billion |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $300 - $325 million | $315 - $335 million |
| Adjusted Diluted EPS | $3.85 - $4.35 | $4.15 - $4.35 |

AZZ Inc.
Non-GAAP Disclosure
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we provided adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, (collectively, the "Adjusted Earnings Measures"), which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency when comparing operating results across a broad spectrum of companies, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position and prospects for future capital investment and debt reduction. Management also believes that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
In calculating adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, management excludes intangible asset amortization, acquisition expenses, transaction related expenses and certain legal settlements and accruals. Management also provides EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures. Management defines EBITDA as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, and provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, provision for income taxes, acquisition expenses, transaction related expenses and certain legal settlements and accruals. Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate the Company's ability to incur and service debt and its capacity for making capital expenditures in the future. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also useful to investors to help assess the Company's estimated enterprise value. In addition, management believes that the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare the Company's financial results during the periods shown without the effect of each of these adjustments.
Management provides non-GAAP financial measures for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of the Company’s GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider these measures in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
The following tables provides a reconciliation for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022 between the various measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Adjusted Earnings Measures (in thousands, except per share data):
