NCI Building Systems Reports
Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results

 

 

HOUSTON, June 4, 2013 -- NCI Building Systems, Inc. (NYSE: NCS) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended April 28, 2013.

 

Second Quarter Highlights:

·

Net sales rose 17.3% to $293.4 million, compared to the same quarter last fiscal year.

·

Gross profit increased 4.9% to $60.8 million from $58.0 million.

·

Adjusted EBITDA was $10.6 million, within the range previously disclosed on May 14, 2013.

·

Net loss per diluted common share of $0.28.

·

Quarter-end backlog increased 6% to $276 million compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.

·

Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (CD&R) managed funds converted all of their preferred shares to common shares.

·

Company priced and allocated commitments with respect to the proposed refinancing of its existing $240 million term loan, which will eliminate maintenance financial covenants and reduce annual interest expense by nearly $12 million.

 

 

Norman C. Chambers, Chairman, President and Chief Executive, commented, "We delivered second quarter results in line with our preliminary disclosure on May 14, 2013. As previously discussed, while we achieved double-digit revenue growth, primarily due to last year’s acquisition of Metl-Span, volumes for the quarter were below our internal expectations. Poor winter weather conditions as compared to last year’s second quarter resulted in weaker year-over-year demand for nonresidential construction and the slower release of work from our backlog. We also strategically invested in additional manufacturing personnel during the quarter, which temporarily put pressure on our operating margins, but also has positioned us to capitalize on stronger anticipated demand in the second half of the year. We exited the second quarter with a growing backlog comprised of a greater percentage of higher-margin design/build projects than at the end of the same period last year, which is reflective of the success of our recent marketing and sales initiatives.”

 

"Results across our end-markets and product categories were mixed in the second quarter. We produced strong year-over-year gains in component sales to OEM customers, as well as higher insulated metal panel sales to the commercial and industrial markets, partially offset by soft demand in the agricultural market. Our Coatings group continued to diversify its revenue sources and maintained its profitability levels during the ramp-up of the new Middletown facility, while the Buildings group was affected by lower margin mix and pricing pressures.”

 

"We ended the second quarter with progressively improving levels of quoting activity. Leading construction indicators and McGraw-Hill data continue to point to an increase in nonresidential construction activity in the second half of our fiscal 2013. We believe that as demand picks up, we should demonstrate increasing levels of operating leverage, with a greater portion of our revenue falling to the bottom line," Mr. Chambers concluded.

 

Recent Developments

 

·

On May 14, 2013, CD&R, the holders of NCI’s convertible preferred shares, converted all of their preferred shares to common shares. The conversion eliminates all outstanding convertible preferred stock and will increase stockholders’ equity by approximately $620 million beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

 

 

·

On May 14, 2013, NCI announced it would seek to refinance its existing $240 million term loan. In connection with the proposed refinancing, both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s upgraded the Company’s corporate credit ratings. The transaction priced and commitments were allocated over the last week and is expected to close at the end of June. The transaction will extend the maturity of the Company’s term loan to 2019, eliminate financial maintenance covenants and generate annual interest cost savings (including a reduction in amortized debt issuance costs and issue discount) of nearly $12 million. Early debt extinguishment charges are expected to range between $20 million and $22 million in the 2013 third quarter and include the write-off of non-cash existing deferred debt issue costs and non-cash initial issue discount as well as a 1% cash payment for early termination.

 

Second Quarter 2013 Results

 

For the second quarter, net sales grew 17.3% to $293.4 million from $250.2 million in last year's second quarter mainly due to the contribution from the Company’s June 2012 Metl-Span acquisition and the success of its cross-selling initiatives.

 

Gross profit increased 4.9% to $60.8 million from $58.0 million. Gross profit margin narrowed to 20.7% from 23.2% in the second quarter of last year due to elevated costs related to certain investments made in the Company’s operations and as the result of increased competitive pricing pressure in the seasonally weak second quarter of our fiscal 2013. Additionally, the Company incurred costs related to the ramp-up of its newly refurbished state-of the-art coating facility and its insulated metal panel facility, and there were integration costs associated with the conversion of one of NCI’s existing insulated metal panel plants to incorporate Metl-Span’s manufacturing process. In addition, similar to the first quarter, the Company made investments in manufacturing personnel in this fiscal year to support the higher level of activity expected in the second half of 2013.

 

Engineering, selling, general and administrative (ESG&A) expenses were $62.8 million up from $51.6 million, primarily reflecting the addition of Metl-Span and last year’s benefit of approximately $2.9 million in legal and bad debt recoveries. Current year ESG&A expenses also included higher non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.3 million and approximately $1.5 million of unique charges. As a percentage of revenues, ESG&A was 21.4% in the 2013 second quarter compared to 20.6% in the year-ago period. The Company reported an operating loss of $1.9 million compared to an operating profit of $4.9 million in last year’s second quarter.

 

As previously disclosed, Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and cash and other non-cash items, in accordance with the Company's secured credit facilities was $10.6 million compared to $15.3 million reported in last year’s second quarter. Please see reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in the Company’s financial statements included in this release.

 

For the second quarter of 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share. In last year's second quarter, the Company reported net income of $1.3 million, but incurred a net loss applicable to common shares of $16.3 million, or $0.86 per share, which included the accrual of preferred stock dividends and accretion of $9.7 million and a non-cash beneficial conversion feature charge of $7.9 million.

 

Inventory levels increased 18% over the same period of the prior year to $126 million, due primarily to the acquisition of Metl-Span. Annualized inventory turnover was 7.5 turns for the second quarter compared to 7.1 turns in last year's second quarter and 8.5 turns in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

Capital expenditures were $12.7 million for the 2013 first half, which included finalizing the refurbishment of the Middletown coating facility, integration of Metl-Span with the Company’s existing operations, and investments in both manufacturing capabilities in the Coatings group and system improvements in the Buildings group. The net cash used in operating activities was $4.4 million.

 

 

Second Quarter 2013 Segment Performance

 

The Coatings group reported that total sales and third party sales increased 2% and 12% year-over-year, respectively. Operating income dipped 3% to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to the second quarter last fiscal year primarily as the result of start-up costs for the new plant. The ramp-up of the Middletown, Ohio plant is progressing well, and the facility remains on track to be incrementally profitable in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter.

 

The Components group increased total sales by 38% year-over-year and produced a 51% increase in third-party sales, demonstrating the benefits of the Metl-Span acquisition. Year-over-year operating income declined to $5.1 million from $9.0 million in the same quarter last fiscal year, as a result of several factors – increased pricing pressure in the seasonally weaker period, an unfavorable comparison to the prior year, which included $2.9 million of benefit from legal and bad debt recoveries, $1.3 million of current year investments in growth initiatives, $1.7 million of integration costs and investments for the Metl-Span acquisition and the ramp-up of the new Mattoon, Illinois panel plant.

 

The Buildings group’s total sales were flat with last year’s second quarter results, and third-party sales were down approximately 2%. Sales and margins were both impacted by pricing pressures associated with the seasonally weak second quarter, and the impact was exacerbated by notably poor weather conditions for construction activity as compared to last year’s second quarter. Operating profit declined 38% to $4.2 million due to the aforementioned reasons, as well as investments made in additional manufacturing personnel to support an expected higher level of activity in the second half of 2013.

 

Market Commentary

 

Most leading indicators for nonresidential construction activity remain positive. These indicators include a burgeoning residential recovery, which historically precedes a nonresidential recovery, declining nonresidential vacancy rates, at levels in line with the previous cyclical recovery, favorable lending standards for nonresidential construction, comparable to the high growth period of the 1990's, and improving jobs data. One of the most encouraging data points is the marked improvement in April in the Dodge Momentum Index, which is at its highest level since 2008. All of these factors are in support of the early stages of a nonresidential construction recovery, with 2012 new construction starts measured in square feet of 753 million, up 7% from 2011, but well below average new starts over the last 40 years of approximately 1.3 billion square feet.

 

The American Institute of Architects’ Architecture Billing Index (ABI) for the Commercial/Industrial (C/I) sector fell to 49 for the month of April. The C/I sector billing index has historically demonstrated a strong correlation to nonresidential construction starts. During the first year of the last cyclical recovery (2004-2007), the ABI experienced six consecutive months above 50 (indicating demand growth) followed by five consecutive months below 50 before the recovery firmly took hold. As a result, the recent dip in the ABI, which followed six consecutive months above 50, is not unexpected.

 

In the second quarter of NCI’s fiscal 2013, low-rise nonresidential construction starts (measured in square feet) increased by 1.6% from the comparable period in fiscal 2012, as reported by McGraw-Hill. McGraw-Hill continues to project that calendar year 2013 square footage will be approximately 800 million, up from the 753 million square feet reported in 2012, with most of the increase taking place in the second half of the calendar year.

 

Summary/Outlook

 

“Our performance improved throughout the fiscal second quarter, concluding with a profitable April,” noted Mr. Chambers. “At the end of the period, the Buildings group had improved its backlog year-over-year by 10% in volume and 6% in value. The more recent additions to backlog in the period reflected an increased level of design/build projects with improved pricing. The Components group delivered significant growth in Commercial/Industrial sector sales for insulated metal panels. In addition, sales of core roofing and sidewall products to NCI’s largest OEM customers showed meaningful quarterly growth for the first time since 2009. In the Coatings group, the Middletown, Ohio light gauge paint line continued to increase production and is on pace to contribute positively to profitability in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2013.”

 

 

“This progress was achieved despite overall market demand for the first half of fiscal 2013 that was below our expectations. The nonresidential forecasts by McGraw-Hill and others suggest that the market will grow in volume by 8% this calendar year over 2012. Given that the nonresidential market declined 2% over the first four months of calendar 2013, the market will need to build steam as it moves forward through the remainder of 2013 to achieve these forecasts. We remain cautiously optimistic that the nonresidential market will grow this year.”

 

“Our backlog, current demand and shipping schedules underpin our optimism that we will deliver significantly improved results in the second half of 2013 over the first half. Because of the recent investments we have made in efficiencies, we believe we are well-positioned to exploit the market recovery as it develops and demonstrate year-over-year improvements and meaningful operating leverage,” Mr. Chambers concluded.

The Company's Credit Agreement defines adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash charges for goodwill and other asset impairments and stock compensation as well as certain non-recurring charges. As such, the historical information is presented in accordance with the definition above. Concurrent with the amendment and restatement of the Term Note facility, the Company entered into an Asset-Backed Lending facility which has substantially the same definition of adjusted EBITDA except that the ABL facility caps certain non-recurring charges. The Company is disclosing adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, because it is used by management and provided to investors to provide comparability of underlying operational results.
