Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: SSD), an industry leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2018. Refer to the “Segment and Product Group Information” table below for additional segment information (including information about the Company’s Asia/Pacific segment and Administrative and All Other segment).
In the third quarter of 2017, the Company reclassified its year-to-date expenses associated with a recent acquisition. The 2017 first and second quarter financial results were revised to reflect these changes with $2.6 million of costs being reclassified from research and development and engineering expense to general and administrative expense ($2.3 million) and selling expense ($0.3 million). The 2017 third quarter financial results were revised to reflect these changes made to the 2017 first and second quarter results. No reclassifications were made with respect to the 2017 year-to-date (9-month) financial results.
2018 Third Quarter Financial Highlights
All comparisons below (which are generally indicated by words such as “increased,” “decreased,” “remained,” or “compared to”), unless otherwise noted, are comparing the quarter ended September 30, 2018 with the quarter ended September 30, 2017. In the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment for the third quarter of 2017, which increased cost of sales by $0.7 million and decreased general and administrative expenses by $0.7 million. Such adjustment only applied to the North America segment, which resulted from recording certain depreciation expense on company–owned real estate as general and administrative expense rather than cost of goods sold. Income from operations and net income for the third quarter of 2017 as presented below were not affected by the adjustment.
• | Consolidated net sales of $284.2 million increased 8.3% from $262.5 million. |
◦ | North America net sales of $239.9 million increased 12.5% from $213.3 million, primarily due to increases in average product prices and sales volume. Canada's net sales were negatively affected by foreign currency translation. |
◦ | Europe net sales of $42.0 million decreased 10.9% from $47.1 million, primarily due to the late 2017 sale of Gbo Fastening Systems' Poland and Romania subsidiaries (acquired in January 2017), which contributed $5.3 million in net sales for the third quarter of 2017. Europe net sales were negatively affected by approximately $0.7 million of foreign currency translations resulting from Europe currencies weakening against the United States dollar. In local currency, Europe net sales increased primarily due to increases in average product prices. |
• | Consolidated gross profit of $133.9 million increased 12.4% from $119.1 million. Gross profit margin increased to 47.1% from 45.4% primarily due to an increase in average product prices, which decreased both material and factory and overhead costs as a percentage of net sales. |
◦ | North America gross profit margin increased to 48.8% from 47.3%. |
◦ | Europe gross profit margin of 38.2% was approximately flat. |
• | Consolidated income from operations of $60.9 million increased 30.5% from $46.7 million. Income from operations for the third quarter of 2018 included a $1.6 million foreign currency gain on a return of capital from an investment in a foreign subsidiary, partially offset by increased SAP related expenses of $1.3 million. Consolidated operating profit margin increased to 21.4% from 17.8%. |
◦ | North America income from operations of $56.9 million increased 36.1% from $41.8 million. Included in North America’s income from operations were SAP related costs of approximately $2.0 million compared to $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2017. |
◦ | Europe income from operations of $3.6 million decreased 30.3% from $5.1 million. Europe income from operations for the third quarter of 2018 was negatively impacted by the late 2017 sale of Gbo Fastening Systems' Poland and |
5
Romania subsidiaries (acquired in January 2017), which contributed $0.6 million in income from operations for the third quarter of 2017.
• | The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 27.1% from 37.0%, primarily due to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which reduced the United States statutory federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. |
• | Consolidated net income was $44.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share of the Company's common stock, compared to net income of $28.2 million, or $0.59 per diluted share of the Company's common stock. The $28.2 million consolidated net income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was negatively impacted by a nonrecurring $2.1 million reduction of a gain on a bargain purchase of a business, which decreased diluted earnings per share for the same period by $0.04. |

Management Commentary
“We had a solid third quarter with our net sales increasing 8% year–over–year to $284.2 million, driven by growth in sales volume throughout almost all areas of our company,” commented Karen Colonias, President and Chief Executive Officer of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. “Net sales were positively impacted by increases in our average selling prices and were further supported by U.S. housing starts. While U.S. housing starts slightly moderated in the third quarter compared to the second quarter, demand so far in the current quarter remains steady, subject to typical fourth quarter seasonality. As a result of our positive third quarter net sales and strong gross profit margin of 47%, we produced strong third quarter earnings of $0.95 per diluted share, an increase of 61% year-over-year.”
Mrs. Colonias continued, “Today marks one year since we announced our 2020 Plan to provide more clarity into our longer-term strategy and financial objectives. I am pleased to confirm we remain on track to reach our key financial targets under the 2020 Plan. We have made solid headway over the past twelve months thanks to the hard work and commitment of our employees. Notably, year-to-date, our operating expenses as a percent of sales were approximately 27%, an improvement of 300 basis points as compared to the first nine months of 2017. We believe this is a direct result of our strong company culture and the responsibility our employees feel to the success of Simpson. We applaud them for their hard work.”
Corporate Developments
• | Effective July 1, 2018, the Company increased prices on a majority of its wood connector products sold in the United States by an average of 11.5% in an effort to offset rising raw materials costs. |
• | During the third quarter of 2018, the Company repatriated $20.0 million from one of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company is evaluating whether to repatriate additional funds from its foreign subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of 2018 or the first half of 2019. |
• | In September 2018, the Company contracted to sell a facility that is not occupied by it and the Company leased to a third party. The sale is expected to close in November 2018. The Company estimates it will receive net proceeds of approximately $16.0 million, after closing costs and sales price adjustments. |
• | On October 22, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per share. The dividend will be payable on January 24, 2019 to the Company's stockholders of record as of January 3, 2019. On October 22, 2018, the Board resolved for the 2019 annual meeting of the Company's stockholders to be held on April 26, 2019 (or such dates to which such meeting may be adjourned) and fixed the close of business on February 27, 2019, as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting. |

Business Outlook
Subject to changing economic conditions, future events and circumstances:
7
• | The Company currently believes the market price for steel could continue to be volatile during the fourth quarter of 2018, due to uncertainty related to steel tariffs. |
• | The Company is updating its 2018 full-year gross profit margin estimate to be in the range of approximately 45.5% to 46.0% from its previous estimate of 45.0% to 46.0%. |
• | The Company estimates that its 2018 full-year effective tax rate will be between approximately 26% to 27%, including both federal and state income tax rates. The ultimate impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law in 2017 and the Company's 2018 effective tax rate may differ materially from the Company’s estimates due to changes in the interpretations and assumptions made by the Company as well as additional regulatory guidance that may be issued and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, such as cash repatriation to the United States. The Company will continue to assess the expected impact of the new tax law and provide additional disclosures at appropriate times. |
