PGT Reports 2015 Second Quarter Results


VENICE, Fla., Aug. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PGT, Inc. (NASDAQ:PGTI), the leading U.S. manufacturer and supplier of residential impact-resistant windows and doors, announces financial results for its second quarter and six months ended July 4, 2015.

"In the second quarter of 2015, we generated sales of $100.8 million. This represents our highest sales level since the second quarter of 2006 and the second time in our history that we achieved quarterly sales in excess of $100 million. Our second quarter sales increased $19.2 million, or 23.5%, over our 2014 second quarter, due primarily to the CGI acquisition. CGI continues to exceed our expectations, and contributed to an overall 29.0% increase in sales of impact windows and doors in the second quarter, compared to last year. New construction sales increased 39.3%, while repair and remodeling sales increased 14.8%," said PGT's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Rod Hershberger.

Mr. Hershberger concluded, "Our new WinGuard and EnergyVue vinyl lines are taking hold in the market as demand for these products has been solid and they have been widely accepted by our customer base. With single-family housing starts in Florida on the rise, increasing 24% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to last year, and the addition of CGI, we are well positioned to take advantage of gains in new construction throughout our core markets. We continue to hire and train new people to keep pace with the increased demand for our products and have expanded our workforce to nearly 2,200 employees, all dedicated to and at the core of our continued success. I am thankful to all of our employees for their contributions and hard work every day."

Financial highlights for the second quarter ended July 4, 2015, compared to the second quarter of last year, include:

  • Net sales of $100.8 million, an increase of $19.2 million, or 23.5%;
  • Gross margin of 32.7%, up from 32.0%;
  • Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was 16.6%, compared to 15.9%;
  • Net income of $6.8 million, compared to $7.8 million;
  • Net income, adjusted for the costs related to new vinyl product launch and manufacturing lines start-up, and the effect of a non-recurring charge to income tax expense, was $8.6 million, compared to $7.8 million;
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.17, compared to $0.16;
  • EBITDA, adjusted for the costs related to new product launch and manufacturing lines start-up, of $18.9 million, compared to $14.5 million;

Commenting on the second quarter, Brad West, PGT's Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Gross profit dollars of $32.9 million, increased $6.8 million, or 26.0%, compared to last year's second quarter. Gross margin was 32.7%, representing an increase of 0.7% over last year's second quarter. The increase in gross margin over the second quarter of 2014 includes an improvement of 1.3% attributable to lower glass costs due to the increase in our capacity to make more of our own glass. The increase in gross margin also includes the impact of our previously announced price increase and the addition of CGI. These increases were partially offset by higher employee and other overhead costs due to the increase in sales."

Mr. West continued, "Adjusted EBITDA improved to $18.9 million, increasing 30.6%, over our 2014 second quarter. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 16.6%, from 15.9% in the 2014 second quarter. The increase in this percentage was primarily driven by increases in non-cash expenditures, including amortization of the intangible assets from the CGI acquisition. We continue to be focused on leveraging our fixed SG&A costs and controlling our spending in this area."

Concluding his comments, Mr. West stated, "Our income tax expense and the effective tax rate of 48.2% for the second quarter of 2015 were negatively impacted by a non-recurring charge of $1.6 million, related to an income tax expense previously classified within comprehensive earnings. Excluding this charge, our effective tax rate for the second quarter was 36.0%."

Financial highlights for the six months ended July 4, 2015, compared to the same period last year, include:

  • Net sales of $196.1 million, an increase of $51.8 million, or 35.9%;
  • Gross margin of 32.6%, up from 31.8%;
  • Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was 17.6%, compared to 18.2%;
  • Net income of $13.4 million, compared to $11.2 million;
  • Net income, adjusted for the costs related to new vinyl product launch and manufacturing lines start-up, and the effect of a non-recurring charge to income tax expense, was $15.6 million, compared to $11.2 million;
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.31, compared to $0.22;
  • EBITDA, adjusted for the costs related to new product launch and manufacturing lines start-up, was $35.2 million, compared to $22.1 million;

Jeff Jackson, PGT's President and Chief Operating Officer, commented on the second quarter, stating, "Over the last two years, we have experienced a period of significant growth which has come from both a rebound in the housing market and our ability to capture market share through our marketing programs and our ability to innovate. This period of growth has been one of the most exciting and pleasing times in the history of our company. However, this period of growth at times has come at a cost due to factors including increased material costs from the need to purchase custom laminated glass units, and inefficiencies in labor and scrap rates as the result of adding new employees. In 2013 and 2014, these factors had a negative impact on our gross margins. We responded to these factors by building our new, state-of-the-art glass processing facility, and implementing programs to train the newest members of our PGT family on our manufacturing processes. These initiatives have driven improvements in margins in the first six months of 2015."

Mr. Jackson concluded, "We are beginning to reap the benefits of our glass capacity expansion by decreasing our cost of glass, which will further improve as our next laminated glass line becomes fully operational during the third quarter. We also expect to start supplying glass to CGI later in 2015, with the goal being to lower CGI's cost of glass as well. CGI's growth has been excellent, and we expect to continue to benefit from increased demand for its products. For the third quarter of 2015, we estimate that consolidated sales will range between $99 million and $101 million, which, combined with sustained operating performance, we believe will result in gross margins on par with the first half of 2015."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Press Release and the financial schedules include financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We believe that presentation of non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides investors and analysts with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors and analysts to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance compared to past performance. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a better baseline for assessing our future earnings potential. The non-GAAP measures included in this release are provided to give investors access to types of measures that we use in analyzing our results.

Adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. Adjusted net income per share consists of GAAP net income per share adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. We believe these measures enable investors and analysts to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to the past performance and provide a better baseline for assessing the company's future earnings potential. However, these measures do not provide a complete picture of our operations.

EBITDA consists of GAAP net income adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. We believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and analysts about the company's performance because they eliminate the effects of period to period changes in taxes, costs associated with capital investments and interest expense. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not give effect to the cash the company must use to service its debt or pay its income taxes and thus do not reflect the funds generated from operations or actually available for capital investments.

Our calculations of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to calculations performed by other companies and reported as similarly titled measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP measures. Schedules that reconcile adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income are included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.
