Masonite International Corporation Reports 2019 First Quarter Financial Results

(Tampa, FL, May 1, 2019) - Masonite International Corporation ("Masonite" or "the Company") (NYSE: DOOR) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Executive Summary - 1Q19 versus 1Q18

• Net sales increased 2% to $530 million versus $518 million. Excluding foreign exchange, net sales increased 4%.

• Net income attributable to Masonite was $4 million compared to $21 million. The decline was due to charges related to our previously announced restructuring actions and divestiture of non-core businesses.

• Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.15 from $0.73.

• Adjusted earnings per share* increased to $0.81 from $0.73. Adjusted earnings per share* excludes pre-tax charges of $22 million related to our restructuring and divestiture of non-core businesses.

• Adjusted EBITDA* increased 7% to $65 million versus $61 million.

• Repurchased 646,102 shares of stock in the first quarter for approximately $33 million.

“We are pleased with our first quarter performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded both year-on-year and sequentially, despite slower end market demand and anticipated inflationary pressures,” said Fred Lynch, President and CEO. “Our teams are executing well on our key strategic initiatives including announced restructuring actions. Our continued focus on operations, coupled with previously implemented pricing, suggests we are well positioned for 2019.”

First Quarter 2019 Discussion

Net sales increased 2% to $530 million in the first quarter of 2019, from $518 million in the comparable period of 2018. The increase in net sales was the result of a 5% increase in volumes from acquisitions and a 5% increase in average unit price (AUP), partially offset by a 5% decline in base volumes and a 2% decrease due to foreign exchange.

• North American Residential net sales were $354 million, a 2% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2018, driven primarily by a 9% decline in base volumes, a 1% decrease due to foreign exchange and a 1% decline in sales of components and other products, partially offset by a 6% increase in AUP and a 3% increase in volumes from acquisitions.

• Europe net sales were $84 million, a 3% decrease over the first quarter of 2018, driven primarily by a 7% decline due to foreign exchange, a net 1% reduction from acquisitions and divestitures and a 1% decline in sales of components and other products. Partly offsetting these reductions, base volume in Europe improved by approximately 5%.

• Architectural net sales were $86 million, a 28% increase over the first quarter of 2018. The 2018 acquisition of Graham and Maiman contributed 21% of incremental net sales. Additionally, an increase in base volumes and in AUP contributed 2% and 5%, respectively.

Total company gross profit increased 6% to $112 million in the first quarter of 2019, from $105 million in the first quarter of 2018. Gross profit margin increased 70 basis points to 21.1%, due to higher AUP and improved operational performance, partially offset by higher inflation on raw materials and manufacturing wages and benefits. Additionally, the transactional impact from foreign exchange was higher in the quarter than usual due to year-on-year weakening of the Canadian Dollar.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $78 million increased $10 million compared to the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily driven by additional costs from acquisitions, including resources to facilitate integration, higher depreciation and amortization and losses related to the divestiture of a non-core product line. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 14.7%, a 150 basis point increase from the first quarter of 2018.

Net income attributable to Masonite decreased $17 million to $4 million in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA* increased $4 million to $65 million for the first quarter of 2019, from $61 million in the comparable 2018 period.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.15 in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $0.73 in the comparable 2018 period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share* were $0.81 in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $0.73 in the comparable 2018 period. Adjusted earnings per share excludes pre-tax charges of $22 million related to restructuring and divestiture of non-core businesses.

Masonite repurchased 646,102 shares of stock in the first quarter of 2019 for $33 million, at an average price of $51.37.

manufacturing realignments (including related restructuring charges), managing customer credit risk and successful integration of acquisitions; the continuous operation of our information technology and enterprise resource planning systems and management of potential cyber security threats and attacks; our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our capital expenditure requirements, to meet our pension obligations, and to meet our debt service obligations, including our obligations under our senior notes and our ABL Facility; political, economic and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business; uncertainty relating to the United Kingdom's anticipated exit from the European Union; fluctuating exchange and interest rates; our ability to innovate and keep pace with technological developments; product liability claims and product recalls; retention of key management personnel; environmental and other government regulations, including the FCPA, and any changes in such regulations; and limitations on operating our business as a result of covenant restrictions under our existing and future indebtedness, including our senior notes and our ABL Facility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Related Information

Our management reviews net sales and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Net assets are not allocated to the reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to either net income or operating cash flows 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. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Masonite adjusted to exclude the following items: depreciation; amortization; share based compensation expense; loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment; registration and listing fees; restructuring costs; asset impairment; loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries; interest expense (income), net; loss on extinguishment of debt; other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax; and net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest. This definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the definitions of EBITDA contained in the indentures governing the 2023 and 2026 Notes and the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility. 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. Adjusted EBITDA is used to evaluate and compare the performance of the segments and it is one of the primary measures used to determine employee incentive compensation. Intersegment transfers are negotiated on an arm’s length basis, using market prices. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, from an operations standpoint, provides an appropriate way to measure and assess segment performance. Our management team has established the practice of reviewing the performance of each segment based on the measures of net sales and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to users of the consolidated financial statements because it provides the same information that we use internally

to evaluate and compare the performance of the segments and it is one of the primary measures used to determine employee incentive compensation.

The tables below set forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Masonite for the periods indicated. We are not providing a quantitative reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the corresponding GAAP information because the GAAP measures that we exclude from our Adjusted EBITDA outlook are difficult to predict and are primarily dependent on future uncertainties. Items with future uncertainties include restructuring costs, asset impairments, share based compensation expense and gains/losses on sales of subsidiaries and PP&E.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Sales. Management believes this measure provides supplemental information on how successfully we operate our business.

Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per common share attributable to Masonite (EPS) less restructuring costs, asset impairment charges, loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries, loss on extinguishment of debt and other items, if any, that do not relate to Masonite’s underlying business performance (each net of related tax expense (benefit)). In the fourth quarter of 2018, we changed the definition of Adjusted EPS to exclude restructuring charges and related tax impacts. This change had no impact to Adjusted EPS for the three months ended April 1, 2018. Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of the Company and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
