AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
 

WINCHESTER, Virginia (June 4, 2013) -- American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) today announced results for its fourth quarter ended April 30, 2013.

Net sales rose by 26% compared with the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year to $171.1 million. The Company experienced double digit sales gains in each of its sales channels during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, led by new construction sales growth of more than 40%. Net sales rose by 22% to $630.4 million during the Company’s entire fiscal year 2013.

The Company generated $5.1 million of net income, or 34 cents per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2013, exclusive of an insurance recovery and restructuring charges that combined to increase net income by less than $0.1 million and by less than one cent per diluted share. The Company’s results were substantially more favorable than in the fourth quarter of its prior fiscal year, when the net loss was ($1.6 million) or ($0.11) per diluted share, exclusive of a $0.7 million after-tax write-down of slow-moving inventories and $3.6 million of after-tax restructuring charges. Including all of these items, net income reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $5.2 million, or 34 cents per diluted share, compared with a net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 of ($6.0 million), or ($0.42) per diluted share.

The Company generated net income for the entire fiscal year 2013 of $10.0 million, or 68 cents per diluted share, exclusive of the insurance recovery and restructuring charges that combined to reduce net income by $0.3 million, or 2 cents per diluted share. The Company’s results were substantially more favorable than the loss it experienced in fiscal year 2012 of ($10.8 million), or ($0.76) per share, exclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $10.0 million. Inclusive of all of these items, net income reported for fiscal year 2013 was $9.8 million, or 66 cents per diluted share, compared with a net loss in fiscal year 2012 of ($20.8 million), or ($1.45) per diluted share.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 was 18.9% of net sales, compared with 12.7% in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Gross profit for the entire fiscal year 2013 was 16.3% of net sales, compared with 12.9% in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit was favorably impacted by reductions in labor and overhead costs associated with the Company’s previous restructuring actions, by the beneficial impact of higher sales volume and the absence of the prior year’s inventory write-down. This favorability was partially offset by the impact of rising materials costs.

Selling, general and administrative costs were 13.7% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, improved from 15.2% of net sales in the prior year’s fourth quarter. Selling, general and administrative costs improved to 13.5% of net sales for the entire fiscal year 2013, down from 16.2% of net sales in the prior fiscal year. The improvement in the Company’s operating expense ratio was driven by increased sales levels that enabled favorable leverage combined with cost savings from modifications to the Company’s retirement programs, which more than offset increases in costs related to the increased sales levels and increased performance-based compensation.

The Company generated free cash flow (defined as cash provided by operating activities net of cash used for investing activities) of  $20.3 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared with $0.3 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter. The substantial improvement in the Company’s free cash flow was driven by the improvement in the Company’s operating profitability and favorability from the timing of the Company’s collections from its customers and payments to its vendors, which offset unfavorability from this same factor earlier in the Company’s fiscal year.

American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets.  Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, major builders and through a network of independent distributors.  The Company presently operates nine manufacturing facilities and nine service centers across the country.
