Griffon Corporation ("Griffon" or the "Company") (NYSE:GFF) today reported results for the fiscal 2024 second quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Revenue for the second quarter totaled $672.9 million, a 5% decrease compared to $711.0 million in the prior year quarter.

Net income totaled $64.1 million, or $1.28 per share, compared to a net loss of $62.3 million, or $1.17 per share, in the prior year quarter. Excluding all items that affect comparability from both periods, adjusted net income was $67.5 million, or $1.35 per share, in the current year quarter compared to $66.9 million, or $1.21 per share, in the prior year quarter. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income, and earnings (loss) per share to adjusted earnings per share, see the attached table.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $134.2 million, a 2% decrease from the prior year quarter of $136.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding unallocated amounts (primarily corporate overhead) of $14.8 million in the current quarter and $14.6 million in the prior year quarter, totaled $149.0 million, decreasing 2% from the prior year of $151.5 million. For a reconciliation and definition of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to income (loss) before taxes, see the attached table.

"Griffon's excellent second quarter performance exceeded our expectations due to the strength of residential volume in our Home and Building Products ("HBP") segment," said Ronald J. Kramer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our Consumer and Professional Products ("CPP") segment's performance continues to reflect improved profitability with the completion of the previously announced U.S. facility closures," continued Mr. Kramer. "We remain confident in our long term target of 15% segment EBITDA margin for CPP."

"Given our robust year-to-date performance, and our expectations for the second half, we are raising full-year segment EBITDA guidance to $555 million from $525 million," Mr. Kramer said. "Regarding capital allocation, during the fiscal second quarter, we repurchased more than 1.8 million shares at an average price of $65.09 per share. These actions demonstrate the confidence Griffon's Board and management have in our strategic plan and outlook, and our continued commitment to delivering value to our shareholders."

Segment Operating Results

Home and Building Products ("HBP")

HBP's second quarter revenue of $392.1 million decreased 1% from the prior year quarter due to unfavorable product mix of 2%, partially offset by a 1% increase in volume. Increased residential volume in the quarter was partially offset by decreased commercial volume.

Adjusted EBITDA of $128.9 million decreased 2% from $131.9 million in the prior year quarter. The variance to the prior year resulted from the decreased revenue noted above, and increased labor and distribution costs, partially offset by reduced material costs.

Consumer and Professional Products ("CPP")

CPP's second quarter revenue of $280.8 million decreased 11% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to decreased volume driven by reduced consumer demand in North America and the U.K., partially offset by increased volume in Australia.

Adjusted EBITDA of $20.1 million increased 2% from $19.6 million in the prior year quarter. The variance to the prior year was primarily due to improved North American production costs and decreased discretionary spending, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the reduced volume noted above.

CPP Global Sourcing Strategy Expansion

In response to market conditions, Griffon announced in May 2023 that CPP is expanding its global sourcing strategy to include long handle tools, material handling, and wood storage and organization product lines for the U.S. market.

By transitioning these product lines to an asset-light structure, CPP's operations will be better positioned to serve customers with a more flexible and cost-effective sourcing model that leverages supplier relationships around the world. These actions will be essential to CPP achieving 15% EBITDA margins, while enhancing free cash flow through improved working capital and significantly lower capital expenditures.

The global sourcing strategy expansion is expected to be complete by the end of calendar 2024 and remains on budget. Manufacturing operations have ceased at all affected sites: Camp Hill and Harrisburg, PA; Fairfield, IA; Grantsville, MD and four wood mills.

Taxes

The Company reported pretax income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to a pretax loss from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and recognized effective tax rates of 27.6% and 30.9%, respectively. Excluding all items that affect comparability, the effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 27.9% and 29.5%, respectively.

Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures

At March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and equivalents of $123.0 million and total debt outstanding of $1.59 billion, resulting in net debt of $1.46 billion. Leverage, as calculated in accordance with our credit agreement, was 2.8x net debt to EBITDA compared to 2.5x at March 31, 2023, and 2.6x at September 30, 2023. The six months ending March 31, 2024 free cash flow of $153.8 million reflects the strong operating results in the first half. At March 31, 2024, borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $317.5 million subject to certain loan covenants. Capital expenditures, net, were $18.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Share Repurchases

Share repurchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 totaled 1.8 million shares of common stock, for a total of $117.4 million, or an average of $65.09 per share. Since April 2023 and through March 31, 2024, share repurchases totaled 7.6 million shares of common stock or 13.3% of the outstanding shares, for a total of $337.8 million or an average of $44.56 per share, As of March 31, 2024, $120.2 million remained under the Board authorized share repurchase programs.

2024 Outlook

We now expect 2024 revenue of $2.65 billion (prior at $2.6 billion). Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be $555 million (prior at $525 million), excluding unallocated costs of $59 million (prior $54 million) reflecting increased Employee Stock Ownership Plan expense, charges related to the strategic review and AMES's global sourcing expansion. Our increased revenue and adjusted EBITDA expectations reflect HBP's strong first half results.

Other guidance for 2024 remains unchanged, including amortization of $22 million, depreciation $41 million, interest expense of $103 million, a normalized tax rate of 28% and free cash flow to exceed net income.

Griffon evaluates performance based on adjusted net income (loss) and the related adjusted earnings (loss) per share, which excludes restructuring charges, gain/loss from debt extinguishment, acquisition related expenses, discrete and certain other tax items, as well other items that may affect comparability, as applicable, non-GAAP measures.

(1) For the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, restructuring charges relate to the CPP global sourcing expansion, of which $1.3 million and $74.6 million, respectively, is included in Cost of goods and services and $1.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, is included in SG&A. For the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, restructuring charges relate to the CPP global sourcing expansion, of which $13.0 million and $74.6 million, respectively, are included in Cost of goods and services and $1.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, are included in SG&A.

(2) The tax impact for the above reconciling adjustments from GAAP to non-GAAP net income and EPS is determined by comparing the Company's tax provision, including the reconciling adjustments, to the tax provision excluding such adjustments.

(3) Discrete and certain other tax provisions (benefits) primarily relate to the impact of a rate differential between statutory and annual effective tax rate on items impacting the quarter.

(4) In the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, Earnings (loss) per common share is calculated using basic shares on the face of the income statement. The anti-dilutive share impact represents the impact of converting from basic shares to diluted shares used in calculating Earnings (loss) per common share.
