“Our team continued to deliver strong results, with another quarter of year-over-year margin expansion, double-digit adjusted EPS growth, and significantly improved cash flow, despite lower revenue,” said Ty R. Silberhorn, Chief Executive Officer. “Execution of our strategy continues to drive improved performance, enabling us to achieve operating margin above our 10% target for the second consecutive quarter.”

Mr. Silberhorn continued, “As we move forward, we will continue to focus on building differentiated offerings that provide compelling value for our customers, driving productivity gains, and improving our cost structure. Additionally, our strong cash flow and balance sheet provide significant flexibility to make investments to accelerate our profitable growth.”

Consolidated Results (Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2023)

  • Net sales were $339.7 million compared to $367.8 million, primarily reflecting lower volumes, partially offset by improved mix and pricing.
  • Gross profit increased by 4.3% to $90.3 million and gross margin improved by 310 bps to 26.6%, primarily driven by higher pricing, improved product mix, lower short-term incentive compensation expense, and lower insurance-related expense, partially offset by the impact of lower volume and a less favorable mix of projects in Services.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million to 15.5% of net sales compared to 14.1%, primarily due to higher salaries and benefit costs, partially offset by lower short-term incentive compensation expense.
  • Operating income grew 8.3% to $37.6 million, and operating margin increased 170 basis points to 11.1% primarily driven by improved segment operating margin in Architectural Glass as well as the Architectural Glass segment comprising a higher mix of the consolidated results, partially offset by lower segment operating margin in Architectural Framing Systems.
  • Net interest expense was $1.5 million, compared to $2.6 million, reflecting a lower average debt level, partially offset by higher average interest rates.
  • Income tax expense was $8.3 million, compared to $7.9 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) grew 15% to $1.23.

Segment Results (Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Compared to Third Quarter Fiscal 2023)

Architectural Framing Systems

Architectural Framing Systems net sales were $139.6 million, compared to $165.0 million, primarily reflecting lower volume due to slowing demand in our short-cycle business, partially offset by a more favorable sales mix. Operating income was $17.0 million, or 12.2% of net sales, compared to $22.1 million, or 13.4% of net sales, primarily reflecting the impact of lower volume, partially offset by improved sales mix, the impact of cost savings initiatives, improved productivity, and lower short-term incentive compensation expenses. Segment backlog2 at the end of the quarter was $183.9 million, compared to $197.5 million at the end of the second quarter.

Architectural Glass

Architectural Glass net sales grew 11.6%, to $91.0 million, primarily driven by improved mix and pricing, reflecting the strategic shift to emphasize premium, high-performance products. This was partially offset by lower volume. Operating income increased to $15.2 million, or 16.7% of net sales, compared to $7.5 million, or 9.1% of net sales. The higher operating margin was primarily driven by the impact of improved mix and pricing, partially offset by the impact of lower volume and cost inflation.

Architectural Services

Architectural Services net sales were $94.7 million, compared to $102.0 million, primarily reflecting a less favorable mix of projects. Operating income was $5.3 million, or 5.6% of net sales, compared to $6.0 million, or 5.9% of net sales. The change in operating margin was primarily driven by a less favorable mix of projects, partially offset by lower short-term incentive compensation expense. Segment backlog at the end of the quarter was $776.5 million, an increase of 15% compared to $674.4 million at the end of the second quarter, as several large projects were awarded in the quarter.

Large-Scale Optical

Large-Scale Optical net sales were $26.0 million, compared to $26.7 million, primarily reflecting lower volume, partially offset by a more favorable mix and pricing. Operating income was $7.1 million, with operating margin improving to 27.3% of net sales, compared to 26.7%, due to favorable mix and pricing.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other expense was $6.9 million, compared to $7.9 million, primarily reflecting lower insurance-related costs.

Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter was $66.7 million, compared to $53.8 million in last year’s third quarter. Fiscal year to date, net cash provided by operating activities increased to $129.3 million, compared to $51.1 million in the prior-year period. The improved cash flow was primarily driven by favorable working capital changes compared to the prior year. Fiscal year to date, capital expenditures were $27.0 million, compared to $18.1 million last year, as the Company increased investments in projects to support its strategy. Fiscal year to date, the Company has returned $27.5 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments.

Quarter-end total long-term debt was $100.7 million, compared to $169.8 million at the end of fiscal 2023. The net leverage ratio3 as of the end of the third quarter improved to 0.4x compared to 0.9x at the end of fiscal 2023.

Updated Outlook

The Company increased its outlook for full-year GAAP diluted EPS to a range of $4.71 to $4.86, and adjusted diluted EPS to a range of $4.55 to $4.704. As a reminder, fiscal 2024 is a 53-week year, with an extra week in the fourth quarter. Including the extra week of operations, the Company now expects net sales to decline approximately 3% compared to fiscal 2023. The Company continues to expect a long-term average tax rate of approximately 24.5% and now expects capital expenditures in fiscal 2024 between $40 to $50 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

  • Adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share (or “adjusted diluted 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.
  • Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The Company believes this metric provides useful information to investors and analysts about the Company's core operating performance.
  • 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.
  • Net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP ratio defined as net debt divided by trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA. The Company considers this measure helpful to evaluate our capital structure and financial leverage, and our ability to fund investing and financing activities.

Backlog is an operating measure used by management to assess future potential sales revenue. Backlog is defined as 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 revenue because the Company has a substantial number of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period that are not included in backlog.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. 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) 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) net sales 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 25, 2023, and in subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
