MASONITE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION REPORTS 2015 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS, PROVIDES 2016 ANNUAL OUTLOOK WITH ANTICIPATED CONTINUED STRONG PERFORMANCE

(Tampa, FL, February 24, 2016) - Masonite International Corporation ("Masonite" or "the Company") (NYSE: DOOR) today announced results for the three months and year ended January 3, 2016.

Executive Summary
Net sales increased $36.5 million or 8.1% to $485.4 million and $34.3 million or 1.9% to $1,872.0 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal year, respectively, over the comparable 2014 periods. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, net sales would have increased by 12.7% to $505.8 million and 6.9% to $1,964.9 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal year, respectively.
Net loss attributable to Masonite was $13.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, and $47.1 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter and fiscal year, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA1 increased $19.1 million, or 50.7%, to $56.8 million in the fourth quarter and $67.1 million, or 48.9% to $204.2 million in the fiscal year versus the comparable 2014 periods. For the full year 2015, Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.9%.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share1 increased to $0.54 from $0.02 and increased to $1.49 from $(0.68) for the fourth quarter and fiscal year, respectively, versus the comparable 2014 periods.
Announced a share repurchase authorization of up to $150 million.

“We delivered a seventh consecutive quarter of double digit Adjusted EBITDA growth in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased more than 50% compared to the same period last year and we reported double digit Adjusted EBITDA margins for the third consecutive quarter. Our continued focus on innovation, customer service, strategic acquisitions, and a disciplined focus on margins across the business portfolio drove the tremendous results in 2015,” said Fred Lynch, President and CEO. “We believe we are well positioned for continued strong growth in 2016 as we partner with our customers to provide best in class products and service levels and deliver an unparalleled customer experience.”

Fourth Quarter 2015
Net sales increased 8.1% to $485.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 from $448.9 million in the comparable period of 2014. Excluding the $20.4 million unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, net sales would have increased by 12.7% to $505.8 million. The increase was primarily due to $38.3 million of increased unit volumes, $14.3 million improvement in average unit price and a $4.3 million increase in net sales of other products.

Total company gross profit increased to $95.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from $67.6 million in the comparable 2014 period. Gross profit margin increased 450 basis points to 19.6% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2015, from 15.1% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily due to increases in average unit price.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the fourth quarter was $67.6 million, an increase of $13.7 million from the comparable 2014 period primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs and the impact of our acquisitions in 2015, partially offset by the removal of SG&A from the Company's door business in France which was sold in August 2015.

Net loss attributable to Masonite decreased $3.2 million to $13.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2015 which includes $30.3 million of charges related to the deconsolidation of our South Africa subsidiary.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 50.7% to $56.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from $37.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA increased 330 basis points to 11.7%.

Adjusting for the South African deconsolidation charge, net income attributable to Masonite would have been $17.0 million resulting in Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.54 in the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase from $0.02 in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Full Year 2015 Discussion
Net sales for the year ended January 3, 2016 increased 1.9% to $1.9 billion versus the comparable period of 2014. Excluding the $92.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, net sales would have increased 6.9%. The increase was primarily due to a $94.3 million improvement in average unit price, $30.5 million of higher unit volumes and a $2.4 million increase in net sales of other products.

Total company gross profit increased to $350.9 million in the year ended January 3, 2016, from $265.4 million in the year ended December 28, 2014. Gross profit margin increased 430 basis points to 18.7% of net sales in the fiscal year ended January 3, 2016, from 14.4% of net sales in the comparable period of 2014, primarily due to increases in average unit price.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the year ended January 3, 2016 was $244.1 million, an increase of $20.0 million from the year ended December 28, 2014, primarily driven by increases in personnel costs and additional SG&A from our 2015 acquisitions partially offset by the 2015 disposition of the Company's door business in France, the 2014 exit from Israel and a beneficial foreign exchange impact.

Net loss attributable to Masonite increased $9.8 million to $47.1 million, or $1.56 per diluted share in the year ended January 3, 2016, which includes charges of $39.2 million related to the disposition of the

Company's door business in France, $30.3 million related to the deconsolidation our South Africa subsidiary and the $28.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt versus the comparable 2014 period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $67.1 million to $204.2 million for the year ended January 3, 2016, from $137.1 million in the comparable period of 2014. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA increased 340 basis points to 10.9%.

Adjusting for the charges, net income for the year ended January 3, 2016 would have been $47.1 million and Adjusted earnings per diluted share would have been $1.49, an increase from $(0.68) in 2014.

South Africa Update
Masonite (Africa) Limited has appointed a transaction advisor in connection with the potential sale of the business.

2016 Outlook
Masonite’s 2016 annual outlook assumes mid-single digit U.S. housing completions, low to mid-single digit growth in the U.S. repair, renovation and remodel market and continued strength in the UK housing market. Based on the Company's expectation to outperform the market, and the net impact of the 2015 disposition of our door business in France and UK acquisitions, the Company expects full-year 2016 net sales growth in the range of six to eight percent. Excluding anticipated impacts of foreign exchange the Company expects net sales growth of seven to nine percent.

The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $235 million to $255 million.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding utilized for the diluted EPS and diluted Adjusted EPS calculation contemplates the exercise of all currently outstanding SARs and warrants and the conversion of all RSUs. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the weighted average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. For any periods presented which result in a net loss, no potential common shares relating to our equity awards were included in the computation of diluted loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive given our net loss position for those periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Related Information
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to measure operating performance. Beginning with the first quarter of 2015, we revised our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to separately exclude loss on extinguishment of debt, which would be a component of other expense (income), net, but is separately stated due to its magnitude. Furthermore, beginning with the third quarter of 2015, we revised our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to separately exclude loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries. The revisions to this definition had no impact on our reported Adjusted EBITDA for the three months or year ended December 28, 2014. As revised, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Masonite plus depreciation, amortization, restructuring costs, loss (gain) on sale of property, plant and equipment, asset impairment, loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries, registration and listing fees, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, other expense (income), net, income tax expense (benefit), loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax, net income attributable to non-controlling interest and share based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition or profitability under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to (i) net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to Masonite determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA in this press release is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance. Not all companies use identical calculations, and as a result, this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA as presented for financial reporting purposes herein, although similar, is not the same as similar terms in the applicable covenants in our ABL Facility or our senior notes. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated under our ABL Facility or senior notes would also include, among other things, additional add-backs for amounts related to: cost savings projected by us in good faith to be realized as a result of actions taken or expected to be taken prior to or during the relevant period; fees and expenses in connection with certain plant closures and layoffs; and the amount of any restructuring charges, integration costs or other business optimization expenses or reserve deducted in the relevant period in computing consolidated net income, including any one-time costs incurred in connection with acquisitions. The tables above sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Masonite for the periods indicated. We are not providing a quantitative reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the corresponding GAAP information because the GAAP measures that we exclude from our Adjusted EBITDA outlook are difficult to predict and are primarily dependent on future uncertainties.

Adjusted EPS for the year ended January 3, 2016 and December 28, 2014 is diluted earnings per common share attributable to Masonite (EPS) less asset impairment charges, loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries and loss on extinguishment of debt, net of related tax expense (benefit). Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of the Company and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
