NEWS RELEASE
Cornerstone Building Brands Announces Strong Third-Quarter 2020 Results

Delivered earnings of 24 cents per diluted share, a 20% improvement over prior year
Generated net income of $30.5 million, an improvement of 21.3% year-over-year
Generated all-time high Adjusted EBITDA1 of $193.3 million and margin of 15.8%
Achieved sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA1 margin expansion in all segments
Increased operating cash flow 173.9% over prior year to approximately $170 million
Improved liquidity and financial flexibility with $500 million issuance of senior unsecured notes

CARY, NC, November 10, 2020 - Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CNR) (the “Company”), the largest manufacturer of exterior building products, today reported third-quarter 2020 net sales of $1,227.3 million and net income of $30.0 million or 24 cents per diluted share. This compares with net sales of $1,285.0 million and net income of $24.8 million or 20 cents per diluted share in the same quarter last year. Adjusted for the March 2020 acquisition of Kleary Masonry, Inc., pro forma net sales1 for the nine months ended October 3, 2020 were $3,434.4 million, down 7.0 percent compared with pro forma net sales1 for the nine-months ended September 28, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volumes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $30.5 million compared to $25.2 million for the same period a year ago, an improvement of 21.3%. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter of 2020 was an all-time high of $193.3 million or 15.8 percent of net sales, an improvement of 160 basis points from the same pro forma period a year ago. The improvement was due to effective near-term expense management, structural cost reductions, and strong price, net of inflation partially offset by the impacts from lower demand and shift in product mix as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the nine months ended October 3, 2020, pro forma Adjusted EBITDA1 was $450.5 million or 13.1 percent of pro forma net sales1, an improvement of 4.4 percent or 140 basis points from the same pro forma period a year ago.
“We delivered strong third quarter results having achieved Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in all segments for six consecutive quarters, generated significant operating cash flow, and improved the Company's net debt leverage ratio to 4.9x,” said James S. Metcalf, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Strong demand in our residential businesses, combined with our strong balance sheet and cash flow, position us well heading into 2021,” Metcalf continued. “As we near the second anniversary of Cornerstone Building Brands, I have tremendous pride in our team and their many financial and operational accomplishments, while facing an environment of unprecedented uncertainty.” Metcalf concluded.
Segment Results Versus Prior Year
All segments delivered consecutive margin expansion over the prior year as a result of the quick and effective management of near-term expenses and acceleration of the Company's strategy to permanently improve its highly variable cost structure, despite the challenges in end-markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Windows segment net sales for the quarter were $501.3 million, a decrease of 0.6 percent, and gross profit was $99.1 million, an increase of 0.8 percent. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $70.6 million or 14.1 percent of net sales, an improvement of 130 basis points. On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDA margin1 improved 180 basis points, while net sales were 3.9 percent lower. Positive price and mix, net of material inflation, contributed to the achieved margin expansion during the period as well as the successful execution of cost improvement actions.
Siding segment net sales for the quarter were $321.9 million, a decrease of 2.2 percent, and gross profit was $92.9 million, a decrease of 2.6% percent versus the pro forma third-quarter 2019. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $79.1 million or 24.6 percent of net sales, an improvement of 270 basis points. On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDA margin1






improved 230 basis points, while net sales were 3.7 percent lower. In addition to the successful execution of cost improvement actions, lower raw material costs contributed to the achieved margin expansion during the period.
Commercial segment net sales for the quarter were $404.0 million, a decrease of 13.1 percent, and gross profit was $105.5 million, a decrease of 12.7 percent. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $70.3 million or 17.4 percent of net sales, an improvement of 180 basis points. On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDA margin1 improved 80 basis points, while net sales were 12.4 percent lower. In addition to the successful execution of cost improvement actions, effective price management with declining steel costs mostly offset the negative product mix impact from customers shifting to less complex projects as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company generated cash flow from operations of $169.9 million compared with $97.7 million for the same period last year, a cash generation improvement of $72.2 million. Capital expenditures were $14.9 million, as the Company remains committed to investing in innovative product offerings and process automation that are expected to generate profitable growth in the future. During the third quarter, we installed two automated window lines at the North Brunswick, New Jersey facility, which increased capacity by 20 percent for the largest product line supporting residential new construction applications.
Free cash flow was $155.0 million during the third quarter of 2020 compared with free cash flow of $68.6 million during the third quarter of 2019. The improvement was primarily driven by lower cash interest expenses, net cash tax benefits from the CARES Act and other COVID-19 related government stimulus programs, reduced capital spending and stronger earnings generation.
During the quarter, the Company issued $500 million of senior unsecured notes due January 2029 bearing interest at 6.125% per year. The proceeds were used to repay debt under the asset-based revolving credit facility and cash flow revolver, as well as transaction fees. The transaction improved liquidity, strengthened the Company’s financial flexibility and was aligned with our deleveraging strategy. The Company ended the quarter with approximately $627.6 million of unrestricted cash on hand, $570.0 million of excess availability on its asset-based revolving credit facility, and $115 million of availability on its cash flow revolver facility. Additionally, the net debt leverage ratio1 improved to 4.9x at the end of the third quarter of 2020 compared with 5.8x for the same period last year. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to weather impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic while providing the Company flexibility needed to continue executing our growth strategy.
Outlook
Fourth-Quarter 2020 Guidance
The Company’s fiscal quarters are based on a four-four-five-week calendar with periods ending on the Saturday of the last week in the quarter, except December 31st, which will always be the year-end date.

Backlog at historic levels in Windows and Siding segments
Stable non-residential end-markets
Anticipate Gross Profit to be between $255 million and $270 million.
Expect Adjusted EBITDA1,2 to be between $145 million and $160 million
Lower cost structure from run rate of achieved and continued execution of cost savings

Words such as “believe,” “anticipate," “guidance,” “plan,” “potential,” “expect,” “should,” “will,” “forecast,” “target” and similar expressions are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations, assumptions and/or beliefs concerning future events. As a result, these forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions, forecasts, and estimates and, therefore, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual performance to differ materially from that projected in such statements. Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements concerning our market commentary and expectations for residential and non-residential end markets and our financial outlook and guidance, including our fourth quarter 2020 forecasted net sales, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA, and our fiscal year 2020 forecasted capital spending, cash interest expense, cash tax expense, benefits from primary working capital, cash restructuring costs and other consolidated financial performance guidance. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, industry cyclicality and seasonality and adverse weather conditions; challenging economic conditions affecting the nonresidential construction industry; downturns in the residential new construction and repair and remodeling end markets, or the economy or the availability of consumer credit; volatility in the United States (“U.S.”) economy and abroad, generally, and in the credit markets; the outbreak of a health epidemic or pandemic, including the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic; precautions taken due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic that could harm our business; impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets; our ability to successfully develop new products or improve existing products; the effects of manufacturing or assembly realignments; seasonality of the business and other external factors beyond our control; commodity price volatility and/or limited availability of raw materials, including steel, PVC resin, glass and aluminum; our ability to identify and develop relationships with a sufficient number of qualified suppliers and to avoid a significant interruption in our supply chains; retention and replacement of key personnel; enforcement and obsolescence of our intellectual property rights; costs related to compliance with, violations of or liabilities under environmental, health and safety laws; changes in building codes and standards; competitive activity and pricing pressure in our industry; our ability to make strategic acquisitions accretive to earnings; our ability to carry out our restructuring plans and to fully realize the expected cost savings; global climate change, including legal, regulatory or market responses thereto; breaches of our information system security measures; damage to our computer infrastructure and software systems; necessary maintenance or replacements to our enterprise resource planning technologies; potential personal injury, property damage or product liability claims or other types of litigation; compliance with certain laws related to our international business operations; increases in labor costs, potential labor disputes, union organizing activity and work stoppages at our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers; significant changes in factors and assumptions used to measure certain of our defined benefit plan obligations and the effect of actual investment returns on pension assets; the cost and difficulty associated with integrating and combining acquired businesses; volatility of the Company’s stock price; substantial governance and other rights held by the Investors; the effect on our common stock price caused by transactions engaged in by the Investors, our directors or executives; our substantial indebtedness and our ability to incur substantially more indebtedness; limitations that our debt agreements place on our ability to engage in certain business and financial transactions; our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms; downgrades of our credit ratings; and the effect of increased interest rates on our ability to service our debt. See also the “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended April 4, 2020 and July 4, 2020, and other risks described in documents subsequently filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC, which identify other important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in accordance with Regulation G. Management believes the use of such non-GAAP financial measures assists investors in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company by presenting the financial results between periods on a more comparable basis. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP at the end of this release. A reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2020 is not included in this presentation due to the number of variables in the projected range and because we are currently unable to quantify accurately certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure or the individual adjustments for such reconciliation. In addition, we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
