Apogee Enterprises Reports Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Results

December 22, 2022 6:30 AM

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: APOG) today announced its fiscal 2023 third quarter results. Third-quarter revenue grew 10.1 percent to $367.8 million, compared to $334.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, led by Architectural Framing Systems and Architectural Glass. Earnings per diluted share increased to $1.07, compared to $0.44 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Earnings in the prior-year quarter included $6.4 million of pre-tax restructuring and impairment costs. Excluding these costs, adjusted earnings in last year’s third quarter were $0.63 per diluted share.1

“Our team continued to deliver impressive results this quarter, with double-digit revenue growth, significant margin expansion, and strong cash flow,” said Ty R. Silberhorn, Chief Executive Officer. “The execution of our strategy is transforming Apogee into a higher performing, more resilient company. Over the past year, we’ve made significant, sustainable cost and productivity improvements, strengthened our focus on differentiated products and services, and fostered a results-driven culture to deliver value for our customers.”

Mr. Silberhorn continued, “The margin gains and earnings growth we’ve achieved over the past four quarters have established a new baseline of performance for the company. As we move forward, we expect to drive continued progress toward our margin and ROIC goals. We’re also investing to develop the talent and capabilities that we’ll need to enable sustained above-market growth.”

Segment Results

Architectural Framing Systems

Architectural Framing Systems revenue grew 17 percent, to $165.0 million, from $141.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by inflation-related pricing. Operating income increased to $22.1 million, compared to $12.1 million in last year’s third quarter, primarily driven by improved pricing and mix, which more than offset the impact of inflation. Segment backlog at the end of the quarter was $246 million, compared to $286 million at the end of the second quarter and $269 million one year ago. Framing Systems’ prior year results have been recast to reflect the move of the Sotawall business to the Architectural Services segment, which was effective at the beginning of this fiscal year.

Architectural Services

Architectural Services revenue in the third quarter was $102.0 million, compared to $105.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income was $6.0 million, compared to $7.8 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower profitability on legacy Sotawall projects and costs related to investments to support future growth. Segment backlog at the end of the quarter was $741 million, compared to $785 million at the end of the second quarter and $722 million one year ago. Prior-year results for Architectural Services have been recast to reflect the move of the Sotawall business into the segment, which was effective at the beginning of this fiscal year.

Architectural Glass

Architectural Glass revenue grew 10 percent to $81.5 million, compared to $74.3 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by improved pricing and mix. Operating income increased to $7.5 million, compared to an operating loss of $(1.3) million in last year’s third quarter, which included $3.5 million of restructuring costs. Excluding the restructuring costs, adjusted operating income2 in the prior year was $2.2 million. The increased income in this year’s third quarter was driven by improved pricing, mix, and productivity gains, which combined to offset the impact of inflation.

Large-Scale Optical

Large-Scale Optical revenue was $26.7 million, compared to $27.4 million in last year’s third quarter, primarily reflecting lower volume. Operating income was $7.1 million, up from $6.0 million in last year’s third quarter, primarily reflecting lower operating costs.

Financial Condition

In the third quarter, net cash provided by operating activities was $53.8 million, compared to $31.4 million in last year’s third quarter. Fiscal year to date, net cash provided by operating activities was $51.1 million, compared to $86.3 million in the prior-year period. The lower year-to-date cash flow primarily reflects increased working capital related to revenue growth and inflation. Fiscal year to date, capital expenditures were $18.1 million, compared to $13.1 million in the same period last year. Fiscal year to date, the company has returned $88.7 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments, up from $44.2 million in the same period last year.

Quarter-end total debt was $203.7 million, compared to $163.0 million at the end of last year’s third quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were $21.7 million, compared to $37.6 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Outlook

Based on year-to-date results and increasing confidence in its outlook, the company is narrowing its guidance for full year adjusted earnings to a range of $3.90 to $4.05 per diluted share, from the previously announced range of $3.75 to $4.05. The company now expects full year revenue growth of approximately 10 percent, primarily driven by growth in Architectural Framing Systems, and full-year capital expenditures of approximately $40 million.

The company will host a conference call today at 8:00 a.m. Central Time to discuss its financial results and provide a business update. This call will be webcast and is available in the Investor Relations section of the company’s website, along with presentation slides, at https://www.apog.com/events-and-presentations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release and other financial communications may contain the following non-GAAP measures:

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance on Adjusted EPS to GAAP guidance is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of the magnitude and timing of future adjustments. These adjustments may include, among others, the impact of such items as impairment charges, restructuring costs, acquired project-related charges, and gains or losses from significant asset sales. Accordingly, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to the company's future financial results computed in accordance with GAAP.

An operational measure that management uses is backlog. Backlog represents the dollar amount of signed contracts or firm orders, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process, which is expected to be recognized as revenue. Backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of contract profitability. Backlog should not be used as the sole indicator of future segment revenue because we have a substantial number of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period and are not included in backlog.

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the company’s historical and prospective financial performance, measure operational profitability on a consistent basis, and provide enhanced transparency to the investment community. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the reported financial results of the company prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements”. These statements reflect Apogee management’s expectations or beliefs as of the date of this release. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements are qualified by factors that may affect the results, performance, financial condition, prospects and opportunities of the company , including the following: (A) uncertainty regarding the potential impacts and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; (B) U.S. and global economic conditions, including the cyclical nature of the North American and Latin American commercial construction industries and the potential impact of an economic downturn or recession; (C) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; (D) actions of new and existing competitors; (E) ability to effectively utilize and increase production capacity; (F) departure of key personnel and ability to source sufficient labor; (G) product performance, reliability and quality issues; (H) project management and installation issues that could affect the profitability of individual contracts; (I) changes in consumer and customer preference, or architectural trends and building codes; (J) dependence on a relatively small number of customers in one operating segment; (K) revenue and operating results that could differ from market expectations; (L) self-insurance risk related to a material product liability or other events for which the company is liable; (M) dependence on information technology systems and information security threats; (N) cost of compliance with and changes in environmental regulations; (O) supply chain disruptions, including fluctuations in the availability and cost of materials used in our products and the impact of trade policies and regulations; (P) integration of acquisitions and management of acquired contracts; (Q) impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets; (R) our ability to execute our strategy to become the economic leader in our target markets and build an operating model to enable profitable growth; (S) increases in costs related to employee health care benefits; (T) risks that anticipated results from business restructuring initiatives will not be achieved, implementation of cost-saving and business restructuring initiatives may take more time or cost more than expected, the anticipated cost savings may be materially less than anticipated, and the restructuring may result in disruption in delivery of services to our customers; (U) U.S. and global instability and uncertainty arising from events outside of our control; and (V) the impact of cost inflation and rising interest rates. The company cautions investors that actual future results could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and that other factors may in the future prove to be important in affecting the company’s results, performance, prospects, or opportunities. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. More information concerning potential factors that could affect future financial results is included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 26, 2022 and in subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
