The AZEK Company Inc. (the “Company” or “AZEK”) (NYSE: AZEK), the industry-leading manufacturer of beautiful, low-maintenance and environmentally sustainable outdoor living products, including TimberTech® decking, Versatex® and AZEK Trim® and StruXure™ pergolas, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2022 of its fiscal year 2022.

CEO COMMENTS

"Our second quarter results were driven by broad-based growth across our businesses, share gains and disciplined execution. With a healthy demand environment, added capacity coming online and incremental shelf space at dealers, we delivered outstanding results and excellent customer service,” said Jesse Singh, AZEK's Chief Executive Officer.

“The committed employees of The AZEK Company, including our experienced management team, as well as our partners and our customers did an incredible job of managing through a difficult operating environment. We continue to see consistent demand trends in the market and remain confident in our ability to continue to drive revenue and profit growth. During the quarter, we saw an additional $40 million of incremental annualized inflation and have taken additional actions to offset this in subsequent quarters. We are well positioned for growth and margin expansion entering fiscal 2023,” continued Mr. Singh.

“We saw strong results across our business, with our recently introduced new products, including wood replacement Exteriors products, and our new cable railing and productivity solutions seeing strong growth in the quarter. We also made substantial progress in improving the output of our recently acquired StruXure business, which delivered more than 90% year over year growth in the quarter. Our Commercial segment also delivered a strong quarter, benefiting from previous margin enhancement actions and strong execution in a recovering market. During the quarter, we also made progress against a number of strategic initiatives, including our new Boise facility and expanding our recycling program reach through a new alliance with DTG Recycle, a recycler of construction and demolition materials. The AZEK Company has also been named to Newsweek’s list of America's Most Trusted Companies based upon a survey of approximately 50,000 participants including customers, investors and employees. This recognition is a testament to the team’s focus on our core values and unyielding dedication to and passion for our customers and purpose-driven strategy,” Mr. Singh said.

“Subsequent to the close of the quarter, we strengthened our balance sheet by refinancing and upsizing our existing Term Loan to provide additional liquidity under favorable terms, and in May 2022 our Board of Directors authorized a $400 million share purchase program. The refinanced capital structure and internally generated cashflow will allow for continued disciplined capital allocation, including organic investments, tuck-in M&A opportunities and share repurchases,” concluded Mr. Singh.

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2022 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $103.1 million, or 35.2%, to $396.3 million from $293.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased for our Residential segment by 33.6% and increased for our Commercial segment by 48.4%, in each case as compared to the prior year period.

Net income increased by $13.2 million to $35.8 million, or $0.23 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $22.6 million, or $0.14 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net margin expanded to 9.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to net margin of 7.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $19.4 million to $90.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $71.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA Margin declined 150 basis points to 22.9% from 24.4% for the prior year period. As previously guided, Adjusted EBITDA margin declined due to the price/commodity lag, startup costs and the impact of our recent acquisition of StruXure.

Adjusted Net Income increased $11.4 million to $50.8 million, or Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.33 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $39.4 million, or Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.25 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

BALANCE SHEET, CASH FLOW and LIQUIDITY

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $25.8 million and approximately $107.2 million available for future borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. Total debt as of March 31, 2022 was $507.7 million.

OUTLOOK

“I’m proud of our experienced management team that is agile and focused on aggressively implementing our strategy to drive growth and margin expansion in any market environment. The underlying near-term demand trends remain healthy, with growth in sample orders and leads from our digital engagement, continued optimism from our channel partners and project backlogs similar to prior quarters which are elevated from a historical perspective,” Mr. Singh said.

“Looking to the second half of 2022, we will be lapping 40% growth and approximately $60 million of dealer and distributor inventory replenishment," continued Singh. “Even with this comparable, we expect to deliver double digit revenue growth in the second half of fiscal 2022,” continued Mr. Singh.

For full year fiscal 2022, AZEK expects consolidated net sales between $1.39 billion to $1.43 billion, inclusive of the StruXure acquisition. From an Adjusted EBITDA perspective, AZEK expects to deliver $316 million to $332 million, inclusive of the startup costs associated with our capital investment programs and the impact from acquisitions.

For the third quarter fiscal 2022, AZEK expects consolidated net sales between $384 million to $390 million, inclusive of the StruXure acquisition. From an Adjusted EBITDA perspective, AZEK expects to deliver $78 million to $82 million, inclusive of startup costs and the impact from acquisitions.

“Over the years, we have built a resilient business model with multiple levers to drive growth and margin enhancement. We remain excited about the long-term opportunity to drive material conversion away from wood toward our types of materials. We believe we are uniquely positioned because of our breadth and capabilities to continue to expand within our core and into near adjacencies. We remain disciplined and focused on prioritizing strategic initiatives to support long-term sustainable growth and margin expansion in fiscal 2023 and well into the future,” Mr. Singh concluded.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On May 5, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $400 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. The program allows the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. Purchases may be effected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, accelerated share repurchases or tender offers, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans, or a combination of the foregoing. The timing of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and repurchases may be discontinued at any time. As part of the program, the Company intends to enter into a $50 million accelerated share repurchase and repurchase the remaining $350 million over time.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this earnings release, including statements regarding future operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward looking statements may be identified by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "expect," "objective," "plan," "potential," "seek," "grow," "target," "if," or the negative of these terms and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Projected financial information and performance, including our guidance and outlook as well as statements about our future growth and margin expansion goals and factors, assumptions and variables underlying these projections and goals, are forward-looking statements. Other forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements with respect to our ability to meet the future targets and goals we establish, including our environmental, social and governance targets, and the ultimate impact of our actions on our business as well as the expected benefits to the environment, our employees, and the communities in which we do business; statements about our future expansion plans, capital investments, capacity targets and other future strategic initiatives; statements about our expectations regarding share repurchases, including the timing and amount of repurchases and our intentions regarding an accelerated share repurchase; statements about potential new products and product innovation; statements regarding the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or geopolitical conflicts, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine; statements about future pricing for our products or our raw materials and our ability to offset increases to our raw material costs and other inflationary pressures; statements about the markets in which we operate and the economy more generally, including growth of our various markets and growth in the use of engineered products as well as our ability to share in such growth; statements about future conversion opportunities from wood and other materials and our ability to capture market share from such opportunities; and all other statements with respect to our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this earnings release are forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the section titled "Risk Factors" set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021 (our “2021 Annual Report”) and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this earnings release may not occur and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should read this earnings release with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this earnings release. While we believe that such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. We disclaim any intention and undertake no obligation to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this release to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our earnings release and consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or (“GAAP”), we use certain non-GAAP performance financial measures, as described within this earnings release, to provide investors with additional useful information about our financial performance, to enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and to allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance from management’s view and because we believe they provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. Our GAAP financial results include significant expenses that may not be indicative of our ongoing operations as detailed within this earnings release.

However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our earnings release and our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit before depreciation and amortization, business transformation costs, acquisition costs and certain other costs as described below. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is equal to Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net sales.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) before amortization, share-based compensation costs, business transformation costs, acquisition costs, initial public offering and secondary offering costs and certain other costs as described below.

We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted, to reflect the conversion or exercise, as applicable, of all outstanding shares of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of our common stock.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and amortization and by adding to or subtracting therefrom items of expense and income as described above.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Net Leverage is equal to gross debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net Leverage are useful to investors because they help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by certain expenses that can vary from company to company depending on, among other things, its financing, capital structure and the method by which its assets were acquired, and can also vary significantly from period to period. We also add back depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation because we do not consider them indicative of our core operating performance. We believe their exclusion facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Therefore, we believe that showing gross profit and net income, as adjusted to remove the impact of these expenses, is helpful to investors in assessing our gross profit and net income performance in a way that is similar to the way management assesses our performance. Additionally, EBITDA and EBITDA margin are common measures of operating performance in our industry, and we believe they facilitate operating comparisons. Our management also uses Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. Management considers Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Net Income as useful measures because our cost of sales includes the depreciation of property, plant and equipment used in the production of products and the amortization of various intangibles related to our manufacturing processes. Further, management considers Net Leverage as a useful measure to assess our borrowing capacity.

Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net Leverage have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • These measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • These measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
  • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
  • Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the expense of depreciation, in the case of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA, and amortization, in each case, of our assets, and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future;
  • Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the expense associated with our equity compensation plan, although equity compensation has been, and will continue to be, an important part of our compensation strategy;
  • Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain business transformation costs, acquisition costs and other costs, each of which can affect our current and future cash requirements; and
  • Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net Leverage differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, none of these metrics should be considered indicative of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA

Depending on certain circumstances, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin may be calculated differently, from time to time, than our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are further discussed under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin represent measures of segment profit reported to our chief operating decision maker for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources to a segment and assessing its performance. For more information regarding how Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin are determined, see the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment Results of Operations” set forth in Part I, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included therein.

Outlook

We have not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA guidance to its most comparable GAAP measure as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as the variability in the provision for income taxes, the estimates for warranty and rebate accruals and timing of the gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. Such reconciling items that impact Adjusted EBITDA have not occurred, are outside of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to these reconciling items could have a significant effect on our Adjusted EBITDA guidance and future GAAP results.
