MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 12, 2023-- Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: APOG) today announced its fiscal 2023 fourth-quarter and full-year results. Fourth-quarter revenue grew 4.9 percent to $344.1 million, compared to $328.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, led by double-digit growth in Architectural Framing Systems and Architectural Glass. Earnings per diluted share were $0.91, which included a discrete $1.1 million income tax benefit related to the Sotawall business. This compared to a net loss of $(0.67) per diluted share in the prior-year quarter, which included $55.8 million of pre-tax impairment and restructuring charges and a $19.5 million gain on the sale of assets. Adjusted earnings in this year’s fourth quarter were $0.86 per diluted share, compared to $0.91 in the prior-year period.¹

Full year fiscal 2023 revenue grew 9.6 percent, to a record $1.44 billion, up from $1.31 billion in the prior year, with growth in each of the company’s segments. Full-year earnings grew to a record $4.64 per diluted share, compared to $0.14 in fiscal 2022. Full year adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 60 percent, to a record $3.98.

“The fourth quarter was a solid close to a terrific year for Apogee, as we continued to build momentum in executing our strategy,” said Ty R. Silberhorn, Chief Executive Officer. “The combination of the right strategy, improving operational execution, and a strong team, helped us deliver record full-year revenue and earnings, and significant progress toward achieving our long-term financial targets.”

Mr. Silberhorn continued, “In fiscal 2024, we expect to drive further progress toward our financial goals, as we continue to execute our strategy to position the company as an economic leader in our target markets, with a stronger foundation of core capabilities.”

Segment Results

Architectural Framing Systems

Architectural Framing Systems fourth-quarter revenue grew 13 percent, to $148.6 million, from $131.4 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by inflation-related pricing and improved mix, partially offset by lower volume. Operating income increased to $15.6 million, compared to $9.3 million in last year’s fourth quarter, primarily driven by improved pricing which more than offset the impact of inflation. Segment backlog¹ at the end of the quarter was $243 million, compared to $246 million at the end of the third quarter, and $281 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 fourth quarter was $98.5 million, compared to $114.9 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting lower volume due to the timing of projects in backlog. Operating income was $3.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $(41.2) million in the prior-year period, which included a $49.5 million impairment expense related to intangible assets. Excluding the impairment expense, adjusted operating income² in the prior year quarter was $8.2 million. The decreased adjusted operating income in this year’s fourth quarter reflects lower volume and higher costs on legacy Sotawall projects. Segment backlog at the end of the quarter was $727 million, compared to $741 million at the end of the third quarter, and $665 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 fourth-quarter revenue grew 12 percent to $81.4 million, from $72.5 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by improved pricing and mix. Operating income was $9.5 million, compared to $17.9 million in last year’s fourth quarter, which included a $19.5 million gain on the sale of assets and $6.2 million of restructuring costs. Excluding these items, adjusted operating income in the prior year quarter was $4.7 million. The higher adjusted operating income in this year’s fourth quarter was primarily driven by improved pricing which more than offset the impact of inflation.

Large-Scale Optical

Large-Scale Optical revenue grew 3 percent, to $27.2 million, up from $26.6 million in last year’s fourth quarter, primarily reflecting improved pricing. Operating income was $5.8 million, compared to $6.3 million in last year’s fourth quarter, primarily reflecting higher operating costs, partially offset by improved pricing.

Financial Condition

In the fourth quarter, net cash provided by operating activities was $51.6 million, compared to $14.2 million in last year’s fourth quarter. For the full year, net cash provided by operating activities improved to $102.7 million, compared to $100.5 million in fiscal 2022, primarily driven by higher net earnings, which more than offset increased working capital related to revenue growth and inflation. Capital expenditures for the fiscal year were $45.2 million, compared to $21.8 million last year, as the company increased investments in projects to support its strategy. During the year, the company returned $94.0 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments.

Year-end total debt was $169.8 million, compared to $163.0 million at the end of fiscal 2022. Cash and cash equivalents were $19.9 million, compared to $37.6 million at the end of fiscal 2022.

Outlook

The company is providing initial guidance for fiscal year 2024, with earnings per diluted share expected in the range of $3.90 to $4.25. Fiscal 2024 will be a 53-week year, with an extra week in the fourth quarter. Including the extra week of operations, the company expects flat to slightly declining revenue compared to fiscal 2023, primarily reflecting expected lower volume in Architectural Services. The company continues to expect a long-term average tax rate of approximately 24.5 percent and forecasts capital expenditures in fiscal 2024 between $50 to $60 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

• Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (“adjusted earnings per share” or “adjusted EPS”) are used by the company to provide meaningful supplemental information about its operating performance by excluding amounts that are not considered part of core operating results to enhance comparability of results from period to period. Examples of items excluded to arrive at this adjusted measure in recent reporting periods include: impairment charges, restructuring costs, acquired project-related charges, gains or losses from significant asset sales, and income tax deductions for worthless stock losses.
• Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, minus capital expenditures. The company considers this measure an indication of its financial strength. However, free cash flow does not fully reflect the company’s ability to freely deploy generated cash, as it does not reflect, for example, required payments on indebtedness and other fixed obligations.
• Net debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as total debt (current debt plus long-term debt) on our consolidated balance sheet, less cash and cash equivalents. The company considers this measure helpful to evaluate our capital structure and financial leverage, and our ability to fund investing and financing activities.
• Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. We believe this metric provides useful information to investors and analysts about the Company's performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of the company.
• Return on average invested capital (“ROIC”) is defined as operating income (adjusted for certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuations from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of the company) after tax, divided by average invested capital. We believe this measure is useful in understanding operational performance and capital allocation over time.

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

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) 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; (B) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; (C) actions of new and existing competitors; (D) ability to effectively utilize and increase production capacity; (E) departure of key personnel and ability to source sufficient labor; (F) product performance, reliability and quality issues; (G) project management and installation issues that could affect the profitability of individual contracts; (H) changes in consumer and customer preference, or architectural trends and building codes; (I) dependence on a relatively small number of customers in one operating segment; (J) revenue and operating results that could differ from market expectations; (K) self-insurance risk related to a material product liability or other events for which the company is liable; (L) dependence on information technology systems and information security threats; (M) cost of compliance with and changes in environmental regulations; (N) supply chain disruptions, including fluctuations in the availability and cost of materials used in our products and the impact of trade policies and regulations; (O) integration of acquisitions and management of acquired contracts; (P) impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets; (Q) our ability to successfully implement our strategy to become the economic leader in our target markets and build an operating model to enable profitable growth and execute our priorities for fiscal year 2024; (R) increases in costs related to employee health care benefits; (S) 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; (T) U.S. and global instability and uncertainty arising from events outside of our control; and (U) 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..

Per share amounts are computed independently for each of the items presented so the sum of the items may not equal the total amount

(1)		Adjustments related to discrete income tax benefits for the Sotawall business in fiscal 2023. In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, a $13.7 million benefit was recorded for the worthless stock deduction. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, an additional $1.1 million income tax benefit was recorded with finalization of the valuation allowance related to the worthless stock deduction.
(2)		Adjustment related to impairment charge recorded during the fourth quarter of the prior year on indefinite- and long-lived intangible assets within the Architectural Framing Systems segment as a result of triggering events during the fourth quarter of prior fiscal year. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Sotawall business was re-aligned from Architectural Framing Systems segment into the Architectural Services segment, the comparative fiscal 2022 results have been recast to reflect the change.
(3)		Adjustment related to previously announced decision to exit certain operations in the Architectural Glass segment and reorganize operations within the Architectural Framing Systems segment, including $4.9 million and $21.5 million of asset impairment charges, $0.4 million and $6.2 million of employee termination costs and $1.0 million and $2.8 million of other costs associated with these restructuring plans incurred during the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2022, respectively.
(4)		Adjustment for impairment of minority equity investment is a result of the assignment for the benefit of creditors of all of the assets of a company in which Apogee holds a minority interest. The impairment represents a write-down of Apogee’s entire investment in the company.
(5)		Gain on sale of building and related fixed assets within the Architectural Glass segment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
(6)		Income tax impact calculated using an estimated statutory tax rate of 25%, which reflects the estimated blended statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction in which the charge or income occurred. Income tax impact in the prior year periods excludes the tax benefit related to the impairment expense in certain jurisdictions due to a tax valuation allowance.
