Cornerstone Building Brands Announces Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2019 Results

CARY, N.C., March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CNR) (the "Company"), a leading provider of exterior building products, today reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2019 financial results.

"I am pleased with both our financial and operational performance," said James S. Metcalf, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our results demonstrate our ability to drive shareholder value by leveraging our strong market leadership position, delivering meaningful cost savings and improving the balance sheet."

GAAP performance for the fourth quarter and full year 2019 was impacted by the merger between NCI Building Systems, Inc. and Ply Gem Parent, LLC, which was completed on November 16, 2018 (the "Ply Gem Merger").

Fourth-Quarter 2019 Results

    --  On a GAAP basis, net sales increased 116.9 percent to $1,244.4 million,
        and gross profit increased 116.1 percent to $288.0 million, or 23.1
        percent of net sales, compared to the prior year period.
    --  Net sales declined 1.8 percent from the fourth quarter 2018, on a pro
        forma basis. Net sales were impacted by softening market demand in the
        Commercial segment which was partially offset by strength in the Windows
        segment.
    --  Gross profit of $288.0 million or 23.1 percent as a percent of net sales
        improved 230 basis points over the pro forma fourth quarter 2018 gross
        profit as a percent of net sales. The increase was primarily driven by
        positive price, mix and realization of cost savings, which more than
        offset lower manufacturing leverage from reduced volumes.
    --  GAAP net income was $1.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, down from
        $27.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter
        of 2018. Net income was impacted by $42.5 million of increased
        amortization expense associated with the intangibles from the Ply Gem
        Merger and the Environmental Stoneworks acquisition, $13.5 million of
        strategic development and acquisition related costs, and $2.5 million of
        restructuring and impairment charges, partially offset by the $4.2
        million tax effect associated with these items.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $158.9 million or 12.8 percent of net sales
        compared to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $128.6 million or 10.1
        percent of pro forma net sales for the fourth quarter 2018. The 270
        basis points improvement was primarily driven by favorable price and
        mix, net of inflation of $26.0 million, cost savings and synergies of
        $37.5 million, which more than offset the manufacturing leverage impact
        of lower volumes and increased SG&A from variable incentive
        compensation.

Full-Year Fiscal 2019 Results

    --  On a GAAP basis, net sales increased 144.4 percent to $4,889.7 million
        as compared to $2,000.6 million in 2018. On a pro forma basis, net sales
        declined 4.2 percent to $4,906.0 million as compared to $5,119.5 million
        in 2018.
    --  GAAP net loss was $15.4 million or ($0.12) per diluted share, compared
        with net income applicable to common shares of $62.7 million or $0.94
        per diluted share in 2018.
    --  Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $581.9 million, or 11.9 percent of net
        sales, representing an improvement of 130 basis points, compared with
        pro forma Adjusted EBITDA(1) for 2018. The improvement is primarily due
        to price discipline, cost management efforts and realized merger
        synergies.
    --  Total merger synergies and cost savings captured during 2019 were
        approximately $110 million, $10 million better than target.
    --  Reduced net debt to LTM Adjusted pro forma EBITDA(1) to 5.4x,
        approximately a quarter turn better than expectations.

Fourth-Quarter 2019 Results by Segment

Windows

    --  On a GAAP basis, net sales were $495.9 million, which included $108.0

    --  Gross profit was $94.2 million, or 19.0 percent of net sales compared to
        $80.3 million of gross profit or 17.0 percent of net sales, on a pro
        forma basis for the fourth quarter of 2018.
    --  The 200 basis point gross margin improvement was driven by favorable
        price and mix, net of inflation and realized savings, which more than
        offset the lower volumes and related manufacturing impacts.

        $68.8 million, or 25.4 percent of net sales.

        percent of net sales, on a pro forma basis for the fourth quarter of

    --  The 110 basis point gross margin improvement was mostly driven by
        realized cost savings.

Commercial

        $125.0 million, or 26.2 percent of net sales.

        22.4 percent of net sales, on a pro forma basis for the fourth quarter
        of 2018.
    --  The 380 basis point gross margin improvement was driven by favorable
        spread and cost savings.

        forma first quarter 2019 in the combined Windows and Siding segments and

    --  Adjusted EBITDA(1) is expected to be between $75 million and $90
        million.

        sales.
