Norman C. Chambers, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our solid second quarter performance, which culminated in a stronger first half of fiscal 2017 compared to the first half of last year. We achieved year-over-year growth in both our insulated metal panel and legacy Components products in a slowly recovering economy with higher steel input costs."

"We continue to be encouraged by key forward looking indicators that show increased momentum over the next twelve months. We expect the second half of fiscal 2017 to deliver another significant improvement in year-over-year performance. We are confident that market conditions and the positive impact of our ongoing manufacturing efficiencies and cost reduction initiatives should set the stage for another year of top-line and bottom-line growth in 2018," Mr. Chambers concluded.

Second Quarter 2017 Results

Second quarter 2017 sales increased to $420.5 million, up 13.0% from $372.2 million in last year's second quarter, due to an increase in tonnage volumes, most notably in the Buildings and Components segments, as well as continued commercial discipline in the pass-through of higher costs in a rising steel price environment, predominately in the Components segment.

Gross profit increased 12.8% to $100.8 million this quarter, up from $89.4 million in the second quarter of 2016 and gross profit margins were comparable during both periods. Margins in the current period were driven primarily by a combination of manufacturing efficiencies and improved segment and product mix, particularly in insulated metal panels (IMP) as the result of higher architectural panel sales.

Engineering, selling, general and administrative (ESG&A) expenses were $75.1 million this quarter compared to $74.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. As a percentage of revenues, ESG&A expenses decreased approximately 220 basis points to 17.9% in the 2017 second quarter compared to 20.1% in the prior year's second quarter due primarily to the Company's cost reduction initiatives.

Operating income increased to $32.5 million this quarter, up from $10.6 million in the prior year's second quarter. Part of this quarter's operating income increase was related to a gain of $9.6 million in insurance proceeds received as a result of property damages claims. Adjusted Operating Income, a non-GAAP measure which excludes certain identified items, increased to $23.6 million in the current quarter up from $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2016. Cash from the majority of these insurance proceeds will be received in the third quarter of 2017.

Net income applicable to common shares in this quarter was $16.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, compared $2.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share in the prior year's second quarter. Net income was primarily impacted by the following special items: a $9.6 million gain on insurance proceeds partially offset by $0.3 million of impairment charges and restructuring charges primarily attributable to severance costs and $3.4 million from the related tax effect of these items. Excluding the impact of these special items, the Company reported Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP measure, of $11.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, defined in accordance with the Company's Credit Agreement as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other cash and non-cash items, was $37.0 million this quarter, up 45.2% from $25.5 million in the prior year's second quarter.

Please see the reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA in the accompanying financial tables.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter was $49.7 million, down from $77.9 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Cash and cash equivalents increased sequentially from $15.8 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as a result of strong operating cash flow in the second quarter. On May 2, 2017, the Company amended and extended its Existing Term Loan Facility. Benefits to NCI included the extension of the final maturity to June 24, 2022 and a 25 basis point reduction in the interest rate margin on LIBOR borrowings from 3.25% to 3.00% (LIBOR, not less than 1.00%.) NCI's net debt leverage ratio (net debt/EBITDA) at the end of the second fiscal quarter was 2.0x compared to 2.3x at the end of the first quarter of 2017. In addition, the Company's $150.0 million ABL facility remained undrawn as of April 30, 2017.

Second Quarter 2017 Segment Performance

Third party sales in the Buildings segment increased 14.9% to $154.5 million in the second quarter, up from $134.5 million in the second quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of the increased sales volumes and the pass-through of higher costs in a rising steel price environment. Operating income decreased to $6.9 million this quarter compared to $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted Operating Income increased to $7.2 million in the current quarter, compared to $6.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The year-over-year decrease in the segment's operating margins relates primarily to increases in steel prices for the period compared to the second quarter of 2016 when steel prices were declining.

The Components segment generated $239.6 million in third-party sales during the quarter, an increase of 13.2% from $211.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, led by growth in the IMP product lines, as well as continued strength in the legacy metal component products. Operating income was $40.1 million for the quarter compared to $17.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted Operating Income increased 66.8% to $30.8 million from $18.5 million in the second quarter fiscal 2016. The Components segment's profitability benefited from the improved mix of IMP sales moving towards higher margin IMP products and commercial discipline in the pass-through of higher steel input costs across the legacy single skin product lines.

Third party sales in the Coatings segment were $26.4 million, a 1.1% increase from $26.1 million in last year's second quarter. Operating income was $5.5 million for the quarter compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2016. Operating margins in the Coatings group were consistent on a year-over-year basis.

Market Commentary

The key leading indicators that NCI follows and that typically have the most meaningful correlation to nonresidential low-rise construction starts are the American Institute of Architects' ("AIA") Architecture Mixed Use Index, Dodge Residential single family starts and the Conference Board Leading Economic Index ("LEI"). Historically, there has been a very high correlation to low-rise nonresidential starts when the three leading indicators are combined and then seasonally adjusted. The combined forward projection of these metrics, based on a 9 to 14-month historical lag for each metric, indicates an expected positive growth of 3.0% - 6.0% for low-rise new construction starts in fiscal 2017.

Internal bookings indicate a return to a more normalized seasonal pattern as compared to the prior year, exhibiting a modest year-over-year slowdown of NCI's primary markets at the end of the second quarter. Offices and banks, equipment storage, religious buildings and hangars have shown positive year-over-year growth. In NCI's geographic markets New England and the West North Central showed the strongest growth during the quarter.

Outlook and Guidance

NCI reported a first half of fiscal 2017 which was better than the first half of fiscal 2016 and the Company continues to expect fiscal 2017 to be a better year than fiscal 2016 in terms of revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, driven primarily by the Company's ability to leverage expected market growth, its ongoing cost savings initiatives and opportunities to expand its IMP product lines. The Company's two on-going cost savings initiatives in manufacturing consolidation and ESG&A are expected to generate $30 to $40 million in cost savings by the end of 2018. During fiscal 2017, these two initiatives are anticipated to generate an incremental $10.0 million in cost savings.

Similar to past years' trends, the Company expects the second half performance in fiscal 2017 to be stronger than the second half of fiscal 2016, with a more normalized seasonal pattern in which the fourth quarter is stronger than the third quarter, that contrasts what occurred in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2016. For the third quarter of fiscal 2017, NCI expects revenues to be in the range of $480 to $505 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $48 - $58 million. For the full year fiscal 2017, the Company is revising its expected revenue range upwards from $1.75 to $1.85 billion to $1.80 - $1.86 billion and expects fiscal 2017 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $180 to $200 million for the year.

    (1)  The Company discloses a
     tabular comparison of Adjusted
     operating income (loss), which
     is a non-GAAP measure, because
     it is instrumental in comparing
     the results from period to
     period. Adjusted operating
     income (loss) should not be
     considered in isolation or as a
     substitute for operating income
     (loss) as reported on the face
     of our statements of
     operations. See the

     operating income (loss) to

     (loss), which is a non-GAAP
     measure because it is

     results from period to
     period.  Adjusted operating
     income (loss) should not be
     considered in isolation or as
     a substitute for operating
     income (loss) as reported on

     operations.
