Atkore International Group Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results

Atkore International Group Inc. (the "Company" or "Atkore") (NYSE: ATKR) announced earnings for its fiscal 2017 third quarter ended June 30, 2017 ("third quarter").

"We are pleased to deliver Adjusted EBITDA and EPS results that are in line with our guidance. Although we experienced challenging commercial environments and lower volumes due to continued soft market demand, we are optimistic about initial industrial and non-residential indicators pointing towards improving activity in the mid-term. In the meantime, Atkore’s productivity initiatives, including conversion costs, material usage and transactional process improvements, continue to favorably impact the bottom line. Additionally, our M&A process successfully completed two transactions focused on products with accretive margins, and we are building momentum to enhance our portfolio to better serve our customers,” commented John Williamson, Atkore's President and CEO.

Net sales for the third quarter remained relatively flat at $397.7 million, an increase of 0.5% compared to $395.7 million for the prior-year period due to higher net average selling prices resulting from the pass-through impacts of commodity costs partially offset by a decrease in sales volume.

Gross profit decreased by 16.8% to $92.8 million for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to $111.5 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin decreased to 23.3% in the third quarter from 28.2% in the prior-year period. Gross profit and gross margin were negatively impacted due to an increase in input costs that exceeded the increase in average selling prices for flexible electrical conduit and fittings, armored cable and fittings and mechanical pipe product categories driven by timing and the impact resulting from lower-of-cost-or-market inventory adjustments. The decrease is partially offset by productivity savings.

Net income increased $6.8 million to $27.5 million for the third quarter, as compared to $20.6 million for the prior-year period. The increase in net income was primarily driven by lower consulting fees of $13.7 million resulting from the termination of the CD&R consulting agreement and lower professional services of $4.2 million, both in connection with our IPO. Additionally, net income increased due to lower interest expense of $4.4 million resulting from lower debt and lower interest rates driven by our debt refinancing transactions on December 22, 2016 and a decrease in stock compensation expense of $1.8 million. The increase is partially offset by lower gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7.7%, or $5.2 million, to $62.0 million for the third quarter, as compared to $67.2 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased to 15.6%, as compared to 17.0% for the prior-year period. The net decrease was primarily due to an increase in input costs that exceeded the increase in average selling prices driven by timing and lower volume of products sold, partially offset by productivity savings.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.41 for the quarter compared to $0.33 in the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to $0.44 for the third quarter as compared to $0.43 for the prior-year period.

On May 18, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Marco Cable Management, a designer and manufacturer of wire basket cable trays, PVC trunking and aluminum power poles. Marco Cable Management's product portfolio adds value to the Company's customers in the U.K. and expands its presence in the U.K. and Europe.

Segment Results

Electrical Raceway

Electrical Raceway net sales increased $6.4 million, or 2.5%, to $266.3 million for the third quarter, as compared to $259.8 million for the prior-year period, primarily resulting from our ability to pass through higher input costs, partially offset by lower volume of products sold.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.4 million, or 8.4%, to $48.0 million for the third quarter, as compared to $52.4 million for the prior-year period, primarily due to lower volume of products sold and lower margins for flexible electrical conduit and fittings and armored cable and fittings products resulting from an increase in input costs that exceeded our increase in sales prices driven by the timing of the implementation of our pricing strategies, partially offset by improved manufacturing productivity.

Mechanical Products & Solutions ("”MP&S"”)

MP&S net sales decreased $4.8 million, or 3.5%, to $131.7 million for the third quarter, as compared to $136.5 million for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume of mechanical pipe products sold to the solar end-market, partially offset by increased average selling prices resulting from higher input costs.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.0 million, or 17.5%, to $19.0 million for the third quarter as compared to $23.0 million for the prior-year period, primarily due to lower sales volumes of mechanical pipe products within the solar end-market, which are typically higher margin products and reduced gross margins, partially offset by productivity savings.

2017 Full-Year Guidance

The Company is updating its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $220.0 million - $228.0 million for 2017 and its Adjusted EPS guidance range to $1.37 - $1.45 primarily due to continued softness in the non-residential construction markets.

A reconciliation of the forward-looking full-year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA outlook is not being provided, as the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliations.

The Company assumes no obligation to update the information contained herein, which speaks only as of the date hereof.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business, and we use each 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 before: depreciation and amortization, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, interest expense (net), income tax expense, restructuring and impairments, stock-based compensation, certain legal matters, consulting fees, transaction costs, gain on sale of joint venture, other items, and the impact from our Fence and Sprinkler exit. Prior to fiscal 2017, net income was also adjusted to exclude net periodic pension benefit costs and the impact from anti-microbial coated sprinkler pipe, or "ABF" product liability. These costs are no longer an adjustment to EBITDA beginning in fiscal 2017. Prior fiscal years have not been restated for this change due to the relative insignificance and nature of the amounts. 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 Adjusted Net sales.

Net Income Margin

We define Net Income Margin as Net income as a percentage of Adjusted Net sales.

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 (gain) on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, gain on sale of joint venture, certain legal matters and other items, including the impact from our Fence and Sprinkler exit. We define Adjusted net income per share as basic and diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of consulting fees, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation, gain on sale of joint venture, certain legal matters and other items, including the impact from our Fence and Sprinkler exit.

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.
