PGT, Inc. (PGTI) Tops Q1 EPS by 3c, Revenues Beat; Raises FY21 Revenues Outlook

PGT, Inc. (NYSE: PGTI) reported Q1 EPS of $0.21, $0.03 better than the analyst estimate of $0.18. Revenue for the quarter came in at $271.09 million versus the consensus estimate of $253.05 million.

“PGT Innovations’ sales increased 23 percent for a record quarter, including 15 percent organic growth, and during the quarter we completed the acquisition of a majority ownership stake in Eco Enterprises, which also contributed $18 million of sales,” said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Reflecting strength in the housing sector across our key markets, our legacy business grew orders 31 percent. This includes orders from NewSouth in the first quarter of $35 million, up 42 percent over the prior-year quarter.”

“We recently announced price increases to help offset inflationary pressures on rising material costs and labor rates in the quarter which contributed a decline in gross margins of 220 basis-points to 34.7 percent,” added Jackson. “Going forward, we expect recently announced price increases will begin to offset these cost impacts beginning in the last month of the second quarter. Additionally, we remain focused on cost controls, strategic markets and operational excellence improvements as evidenced by the enhancements to our Western Phoenix operations, supporting their growing demand as the economy reopens.”

“Our results for the quarter included $4.2 million of costs related to our exit from the commercial business included in the New South acquisition. Adjusting for these charges, our adjusted EBITDA was $42 million, a 7% increase versus the prior-year quarter. Our net debt-to-trailing-twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA ratio ended the quarter at 2.6 times, near the midpoint of our targeted range,” said Brad West, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Treasurer. “As we think about capital allocation, we continue to prioritize acquisitions and investing in internal projects that we expect to drive margin growth or further improve our operational efficiency.”

"Looking to the remainder of 2021, we expect continued sales growth, though margin pressures may continue into the second quarter longer than initially anticipated due to timing of price increases and our significant backlog now totaling $343 million,” added West.

“The health and well-being of our team members, customers and communities continues to be our greatest focus. In support of this commitment, we are making available COVID-19 vaccinations for employees at our Venice, Florida facility,” concluded Jackson.
