Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange of $3 million, consolidated adjusted net sales increased 6.1% compared to the prior year quarter, driven by higher volumes globally and higher average unit values (“AUV”) in which both positive mix and positive like for like pricing contributed.
As reported operating income improved over the prior year quarter, driven by a decrease in U.S. pension plan expense due to a longer amortization period for actuarial losses as a result of the separation of Armstrong Flooring, Inc. (“AFI”), the margin impact of higher volume, AUV improvement, lower separation costs and lower manufacturing and input costs. Earnings from continuing operations also benefited from lower interest expense compared to the prior year quarter.
“We delivered a solid quarter with constant currency sales growth of over 6% and grew adjusted EBITDA by almost 14% expanding margins by 190 bps,” said Vic Grizzle, CEO. “I’m pleased with the execution around our growth initiatives and productivity in our plants, which combined with prudent cost management, enabled margin expansion over a strong prior year quarter.”

* | The Company uses the above non-GAAP adjusted measures, as well as other non-GAAP measures mentioned below, in managing the business and believes the adjustments provide meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods. Adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS exclude the impact of foreign exchange, restructuring charges and related costs, impairments, U.S. pension plan expense (credit), AFI separation costs and certain other gains and losses. The Company excludes U.S. pension (credit) expense in the non-GAAP results as it represents the actuarial net periodic benefit cost expected to be recorded as a component of operating income and for all periods presented, the Company was not required and did not make cash contributions to the U.S. Retirement Income Plan based on guidelines established by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, nor does the Company expect to make cash contributions to the plan in 2017. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash from operations and dividends received from the WAVE joint venture, less expenditures for property and equipment, and is adjusted to remove the impact of cash used or proceeds received for acquisitions and divestitures. The Company believes adjusted free cash flow is useful because it provides insight into the amount of cash that the Company has available for discretionary uses, after expenditures for capital commitments and adjustments for acquisitions and divestitures. Adjusted figures are reported in comparable dollars using the budgeted exchange rate for 2017, and are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures in tables at the end of this release. |
Adjusted operating income improved 19% and adjusted EBITDA improved 14% in the second quarter, when compared to the prior year quarter. Higher volumes globally, improvements in AUV and lower manufacturing and input costs more than offset higher SG&A expenses. Adjusted earnings per share reflects a 39% adjusted tax rate in both the current and prior year periods. Adjusted free cash flow improved primarily as a result of higher cash earnings.
Second Quarter Segment Highlights
Effective April 1, 2016, the former Building Products operating segment was disaggregated into the following three distinct geographical segments: Americas; Europe (including Russia), Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Pacific Rim. The Unallocated Corporate segment historically included assets, liabilities, income and expenses that had not been allocated to the geographical segments, including AFI separation costs.

Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of approximately $1 million, adjusted net sales in the Americas increased 5.4%, driven by mid-single digit AUV expansion with contributions from both positive mix and positive like for like pricing, along with higher volumes versus a strong mid-single digit volume quarter in the prior year. Positive volume growth was driven by the U.S. Commercial channel, which was partially offset by declines in Canada, Latin America and the Big Box channel. On an as reported basis, operating income increased driven by strong AUV fall through to profit, a decrease in U.S. pension plan expense as a result of the separation of AFI, the margin impact of higher volume and lower manufacturing and input costs. Equity earnings from our WAVE joint venture were down slightly versus an all-time record earnings quarter in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 140 bps primarily driven by strong AUV fall-through to profit aided by the margin impact of higher volumes and productivity.

Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of approximately $2 million, adjusted net sales in EMEA for the second quarter increased 7.7%, driven by sales growth in predominantly the Middle East and Russia along with AUV improvement. On an as reported basis, operating loss decreased driven by the margin impact of higher volume, lower manufacturing and input costs and favorable AUV which offset higher SG&A expenses.

Adjusted net sales in the Pacific Rim for the second quarter increased 8.0%, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, driven by volume gains. On an as reported basis, operating income increased as the margin impact of higher volumes was partially offset by supply side sourcing changes.
Unallocated Corporate
As a result of the AFI separation on April 1, 2016, the majority of corporate support functions were incorporated into the Americas segment, resulting in the discontinuation of the Unallocated Corporate reportable segment from a P&L perspective in 2017.
On an as reported basis, Unallocated Corporate had zero expenses in the second quarter, representing a decrease of $5.2 million from the prior year quarter.

Excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange of $5 million, consolidated adjusted net sales increased 8.2% compared to the prior year period, driven by higher volumes globally and higher AUVs in which both positive mix and positive like for like pricing contributed.
As reported operating income improved over the prior year period, driven by lower separation costs, a decrease in U.S. pension plan expense due to a longer amortization period for actuarial losses as a result of the separation of AFI, the margin impact of higher volume and AUV improvement which partially offset higher input costs and SG&A expenses.
Market Outlook and 2017 Guidance (1)
“Given our healthy sales growth in the first half of the year and our expectations for improving performance in our international markets for the balance of the year, we now expect constant currency sales to be in the range of $1.31 to $1.34 billion for 2017, representing 6% to 9% growth over the prior year,” said Brian MacNeal, CFO.
Adjusted earnings per share is now expected to be between $2.65 to $2.75 per diluted share, reflecting the benefit of share repurchase activity in the first half of the year. Adjusted free cash flow is expected to improve slightly and is now anticipated to be between $140 million and $155 million, with the midpoint of the range representing 26% growth over the prior year.
(1) | Guidance metrics are presented using 2017 budgeted foreign exchange rates. Adjusted EPS guidance for 2017 is calculated based on an adjusted effective tax rate of 39%. |

Supplemental Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP Results (unaudited)
(Amounts in millions, except per share data)
To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company provides additional measures of performance adjusted to exclude the impact of foreign exchange, restructuring charges and related costs, impairments, U.S. pension plan expense (credit), separation costs and certain other gains and losses. The Company excludes U.S. pension (credit) expense in the non-GAAP results as it represents the actuarial net periodic benefit cost recorded as a component of operating income and for all periods presented, the Company was not required and did not make cash contributions to the U.S. Retirement Income Plan based on guidelines established by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, nor does the Company expect to make cash contributions to the plan in 2017. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash from operations and dividends received from the WAVE joint venture, less expenditures for property and equipment, and is adjusted to remove the impact of cash used or proceeds received for acquisitions and divestitures. The Company believes adjusted free cash flow is useful because it provides insight into the amount of cash that the Company has available for discretionary uses, after expenditures for capital commitments and adjustments for acquisitions and divestitures. Adjusted figures are reported in comparable dollars using the budgeted exchange rate for 2017. The Company uses these adjusted performance measures in managing the business, including communications with its Board of Directors and employees, and believes that they provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons of operating performance between current results and results in prior periods. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate to enhance understanding of its past performance, as well as prospects for its future performance. A reconciliation of these adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in this release and on the Company’s website. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
