MASONITE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION REPORTS
2014 SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF RESULTS
(Tampa, FL, August 6, 2014) - Masonite International Corporation ("Masonite") (NYSE: DOOR) today announced results for the three and six months ended June 29, 2014.
Executive Summary
| • | Net sales increased $37.1 million or 8.2% to $490.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to increases of 5.5% in average unit price and 3.4% in unit volumes, which were partially offset by a 0.6% foreign exchange headwind. |
| • | Net income attributable to Masonite increased $6.8 million to $5.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014 from a loss of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA1 increased $10.6 million or 31.6% to $44.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 from the second quarter of 2013, the highest Adjusted EBITDA in five years. |
| • | Cash flow from operations was $25.7 million during the six months ending June 29, 2014 compared to $2.5 million last year due to improved business results and operational issues encountered during the implementation of a new accounts payable processing system which have temporarily extended payments beyond our normal trade terms. |
| • | Cash and cash equivalents stood at $187.5 million as of June 29, 2014, versus $100.9 million on December 29, 2013. |
“Previously announced price increases, a slowly improving U.S. housing market and tight operational cost control allowed us to deliver our strongest quarterly results in five years,” said Fred Lynch, President and CEO. “While we believe we have not yet obtained a fair return for the high quality products and services we provide, the improvement in Adjusted EBITDA margin we achieved during the second quarter suggests the balanced set of strategies we have been pursuing is moving us in the right direction.”

Second Quarter 2014 Discussion
Net sales increased 8.2% to $490.2 million in the three months ended June 29, 2014, from $453.1 million in the comparable period of 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, net sales would have increased by 8.7% to $492.7 million. The increase was primarily due to a $25.1 million improvement in average unit price and a $15.5 million increase in unit volumes partially offset by $2.5 million of negative foreign exchange impact.
Total company gross profit increased to $78.6 million in the three months ended June 29, 2014, from $64.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Gross profit margin increased 170 basis points to 16.0% of net sales in the second quarter of 2014, from 14.3% of net sales in the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to price increases at North American residential customers.
In the three months ended June 29, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million to $58.5 million, from $56.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in SG&A expenses was driven by $2.6 million of SG&A incurred in the Company's Door-Stop operations during the second quarter of 2014. Also contributing to the increase was an additional $0.9 million of bad debt expense and $0.7 million of share based compensation expense in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $1.7 million in losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 50 basis points in the second quarter of 2014 to 11.9%, from 12.4% in the second quarter of 2013.
Net income (loss) attributable to Masonite increased $6.8 million to $5.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the three months ended June 29, 2014 from a loss of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 31.6% to $44.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014, from $33.5 million in the comparable period of 2013.
On June 6, 2014, an explosion occurred in the power plant of our Estcourt Mill in South Africa which reduced the site’s ability to generate steam and heat the kilns which, in turn, required the production lines to cease operating for several weeks. Currently, the mill is running at approximately half of Masonite's desired output. Additional capacity is scheduled to come online during August 2014 which management believes will restore production to about 75% of pre-incident levels with the balance expected to be restored during the fourth quarter of 2014. The 2014 Adjusted EBITDA impact, before any potential insurance recovery, is estimated to be between $6 and $7 million with the vast majority of the impact expected to fall within the third quarter of 2014. Importantly, the Estcourt Mill is insured against property loss and business interruption.
Year to date 2014 Discussion
Net sales increased 4.0% to $912.6 million in the six months ended June 29, 2014, from $877.6 million in the comparable period of 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, net sales would have increased by 5.0% to $921.6 million. The increase was primarily due to a $49.2 million improvement in average unit prices. This increase was partially offset by $9.0 million of negative foreign exchange impact and a $3.6 million decline in unit volumes.

Total company gross profit increased to $131.6 million in the six months ended June 29, 2014, from $115.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Gross profit margin increased 130 basis points to 14.4% of net sales in the first half of 2014, from 13.1% of net sales in the first half of 2013, primarily due to price increases at North American residential customers.
In the six months ended June 29, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $13.3 million to $116.3 million, from $103.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was partially driven by a $4.5 million benefit in the first quarter of 2013 related to a business interruption insurance claim associated with the company's Marshfield acquisition and $3.3 million of SG&A incurred in connection with the company's the Door-Stop operations during the period of the first six months of 2014 subsequent to acquisition. Also contributing to the increase were additional personnel costs of $1.8 million, bad debt expense of $1.5 million and share based compensation expense of $1.2 million. Overall selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 100 basis points in the first half of 2014 to 12.7%, from 11.7% in 2013. Excluding the business interruption insurance benefit, selling, general and administrative expenses would have increased by 50 basis points.
Net loss attributable to Masonite increased $4.0 million to a loss of $11.0 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the six months ended June 29, 2014 from a loss of $7.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.0% to $63.8 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, from $59.6 million in the comparable period of 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to measure operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Masonite plus depreciation, amortization, restructuring costs, loss (gain) on sale of property, plant and equipment, impairment, registration and listing fees, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net, income tax expense (benefit), loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax, net income attributable to non-controlling interest and share based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition or profitability under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to (i) net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to Masonite determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA in this press release is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance. Not all companies use identical calculations, and as a result, this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA as presented for financial reporting purposes herein, although similar, is not the same as similar terms in the applicable covenants in our ABL Facility or our senior notes. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated under our ABL Facility or senior notes would also include, among other things, additional add-backs for amounts related to: cost savings projected by us in good faith to be realized as a result of actions taken or expected to be taken prior to or during the relevant period; fees and expenses in connection with certain plant closures and layoffs; and the amount of any restructuring charges, integration costs or other business optimization expenses or reserve deducted in the relevant period in computing consolidated net income, including any one-time costs incurred in connection with acquisitions. The table below sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Masonite for the periods indicated.
