Net sales increased $37.5 million, or 9.0% to $452.0 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018 compared to $414.6 million for the three months ended December 29, 2017. Net sales increased $39.8 million primarily due to increased average market prices for the metal electrical conduit product category and the pass-through impact of higher average input costs of steel, copper, and freight. Additionally, net sales increased $13.0 million due to the acquisitions of Vergokan International NV ("Vergokan") and Communications Integrators, Inc. ("Cii") over the past twelve months, partly offset by a decrease in net sales of $4.9 million due to the divestiture of Flexhead in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in net sales was partially offset by lower volume of $11.0 million primarily in metal conduit and cable wire product categories sold within the Electrical Raceway segment.

Gross profit increased by $13.4 million, or 13.8% to $110.3 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018, as compared to $96.9 million for the prior-year period. Gross margins increased to 24.4% for the three months ended December 28, 2018, as compared to 23.4% for the prior-year period. Gross margins increased primarily due to increased average market prices for the metal electrical conduit product category.

Exhibit 99.1

Net income decreased by $0.2 million, or 0.9% to $26.9 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018 compared to $27.2 million for the prior-year period primarily due to higher income tax expense of $5.6 million and higher interest expense of $5.6 million, partially offset by higher operating income of $9.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $11.5 million, or 19.7% to $70.0 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018 compared to $58.5 million for the three months ended December 29, 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher operating income of $9.1 million and incremental Adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million from acquisitions during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, partially offset by the divestiture of Flexhead during the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

Diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis was $0.54 for the three months ended December 28, 2018, as compared to $0.41 in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share increased by $0.18 to $0.74 for the three months ended December 28, 2018, as compared to $0.56 for the prior-year period.

Segment Results

Electrical Raceway

Net sales increased $26.9 million, or 8.5%, to $343.4 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018 compared to $316.5 million for the three months ended December 29, 2017. The increase was primarily due to increased average market prices for the metal electrical conduit and fittings product category and the pass-through impact of higher average input costs of steel, copper and freight of $25.0 million. Additionally, sales increased $13.0 million resulting from acquisitions during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018. The increase in sales was partially offset by lower volume of $11.0 million primarily in the metal electrical conduit and cable wire product categories.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 28, 2018 increased $12.3 million, or 22.0%, to $68.5 million from $56.2 million for the three months ended December 29, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 19.9% for the three months ended December 28, 2018 compared to 17.7% for the three months ended December 29, 2017. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was largely due to increased average market prices for the metal electrical conduit product category and incremental Adjusted EBITDA resulting from acquisitions during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by lower volume for metal electrical conduit and cable wire product categories.

Mechanical Products & Solutions ("MP&S")

Net sales increased $10.2 million, or 10.4%, for the three months ended December 28, 2018 to $108.8 million compared to $98.6 million for the three months ended December 29, 2017. The increase was primarily due to $14.8 million of higher average selling prices, partly offset by a decrease in net sales of $4.9 million due to the divestiture of Flexhead in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.1 million, or 0.7%, to $10.9 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018 compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended December 29, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased to 10.0% for the three months ended December 28, 2018 compared to 11.0% for the three months ended December 29, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA increase primarily due to an increase in average selling prices, partially offset by the divestiture of Flexhead in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

Second Quarter and Full-Year 2019 Guidance

The Company's expects second quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $69 million - $75 million and Adjusted net income per diluted share to be in the range of $0.70 - $0.80.

The Company is updating its expectation of fiscal year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $290.0 million - $310.0 million and its expectation of fiscal year 2019 Adjusted net income per diluted share to be in the range of $3.05 - $3.35 .

Reconciliations of the forward-looking full-year 2019 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per diluted share are not being provided as the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliations.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes certain financial information, not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliations below in this press release for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Exhibit 99.1

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business and in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before: depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, income tax expense (benefit), restructuring and impairments, stock-based compensation, certain legal matters, transaction costs, gain on sale of a business, gain on sale of joint venture and other items, such as inventory reserves and adjustments and realized or unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of our business.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share

We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company's results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure provide an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and or non-cash items. We define Adjusted net income as net income before consulting fees, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, gain on sale of joint venture, certain legal matters and other items. We define Adjusted net income per share as basic and diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of consulting fees, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, gain on sale of joint venture, certain legal matters and other items.

Leverage Ratio - Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA

We define leverage ratio as the ratio of net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) to Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month ("TTM") basis. We believe the leverage ratio is useful to investors as an alternative liquidity measure.

First Quarter 2019 Earnings Presentation February 6, 2019


 
Cautionary statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements appearing throughout this presentation include, without limitation, statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, assumptions or current expectations concerning, among other things, financial position; results of operations; cash flows; prospects; growth strategies or expectations; customer retention; the outcome (by judgment or settlement) and costs of legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings, investigations or inspections, including, without limitation, collective, representative or any other litigation; and the impact of prevailing economic conditions. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seeks,” “aims,” “projects,” “is optimistic,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” and other comparable terms. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes, including, without limitation, our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the market in which we operate, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and the development of the market in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. A number of important factors, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Because of these risks, we caution that you should not place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Further, any forward- looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to revise the forward-looking statements in this presentation after the date of this presentation. Market data and industry information used throughout this presentation are based on management’s knowledge of the industry and the good faith estimates of management. We also relied, to the extent available, upon management’s review of independent industry surveys, forecasts and publications and other publicly available information prepared by a number of third party sources. All of the market data and industry information used in this presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations which we believe to be reasonable, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Although we believe that these sources are reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information, and we have not independently verified this information. While we believe the estimated market position, market opportunity and market size information included in this presentation are generally reliable, such information, which is derived in part from management’s estimates and beliefs, is inherently uncertain and imprecise. Projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described above. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our estimates and beliefs and in the estimates prepared by independent parties. We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA over Net Sales), Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents), Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Leverage ratio (net debt or total debt less cash and cash equivalents, over Adjusted EBITDA on trailing twelve month (“TTM”) basis) to help us describe our operating and financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents), Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Leverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in our industry and have certain limitations and should not be construed as alternatives to net income, net sales and other income data measures (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP), or as better indicators of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net debt, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Leverage ratio, as defined by us may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other issuers. Our presentation of such measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. See the appendix to this presentation for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Per Share to Net Income Per Share, net debt to total debt, and Leverage Ratio. Fiscal Periods - The Company has a fiscal year that ends on September 30th. It is the Company's practice to establish quarterly closings using a 4-5-4 calendar. The Company's fiscal quarters end on the last Friday in December, March and June.
