CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (NYSE:JELD) today announced results for the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, including second quarter net revenue of $1,331.0 million, net income of $45.8 million, adjusted EBITDA of $125.8 million, cash flow used in operations of $165.7 million, earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.52, and adjusted EPS of $0.57.

Comparability is to the same period in the prior year, unless otherwise noted. References to "core" financial results exclude the impact of foreign exchange and acquisitions completed in the last twelve months.

Highlights

Net revenue increased 6.8% for the second quarter driven by 11% core revenue growth
Eighth consecutive quarter of core revenue growth; core revenue grew in each segment, led by North America segment
Realized 12% pricing to mitigate significant cost inflation
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 15.1% in the second quarter to $125.8 million
Repurchased 5.2 million shares in the first six months or approximately 6% of total shares outstanding at year-end 2021
The board of directors approved new $200 million share repurchase authorization

"Significant cost inflation and softening retail demand in North America and Europe impacted our profitability more than we anticipated in the second quarter," said Gary S. Michel, chair and chief executive officer. "These results are not indicative of the performance-driven culture and expectations at JELD-WEN. We know we have the right strategy, our long-term macroeconomic fundamentals remain strong, and our productivity initiatives are yielding benefits. But, we must execute better and consistently deliver on our promises to customers and shareholders. We have already taken aggressive actions to reduce costs and are actively working on additional opportunities to accelerate margin expansion."

"Even with the impact of these aggressive cost savings decisions, we have adjusted our full year expectations for revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA, as market headwinds are likely to persist through year-end," continued Michel. "We are confident in our strategy to deliver profitable growth and we remain focused on operational excellence, world-class innovation and exceptional customer service that will create long-term value for our shareholders."

Second Quarter 2022 Results

Net revenue for the three months ended June 25, 2022 increased $85.2 million, or 6.8%, to $1,331.0 million, compared to $1,245.8 million for the same period last year. The increase in net revenue was driven by 11% core revenue growth, partially offset by a 4% adverse foreign exchange impact. Core revenue growth was driven by price realization (+12%), partially offset by lower volume/mix (1%).

Net income was $45.8 million in the second quarter, compared to net income of $60.7 million in the same period last year, a decrease of $14.9 million. The decrease in net income was largely due to lower gross profit from cost inflation, partially offset by higher other income and lower SG&A expense. Adjusted net income for the second quarter decreased $10.1 million, or 16.7%, to $50.2 million, compared to $60.3 million in the same period last year.

EPS for the second quarter was $0.52, compared to EPS of $0.60 for the same quarter last year. Adjusted EPS was $0.57, compared to adjusted EPS of $0.59 in the same quarter a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $22.4 million, or 15.1%, to $125.8 million, compared to the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 240 basis points to 9.5% primarily due to higher cost inflation, partially offset by price realization and lower SG&A expense.

On a segment basis for the second quarter of 2022, compared to the same period last year:

North America - Net revenue increased $99.0 million, or 13.4%, to $839.1 million, due to a 14% increase in core revenue. Core revenue increased due to price (+14%). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.1%.
Europe - Net revenue decreased $9.7 million, or 2.8%, to $340.0 million, due to a 12% adverse impact from foreign exchange, partially offset by a 9% increase in core revenue. Core revenue increased due to price (+11%), partially offset by lower volume/mix (2%). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.9%.
Australasia - Net revenue decreased $4.1 million, or 2.6%, to $151.8 million, due to a 7% adverse impact from foreign exchange, partially offset by a 4% increase in core revenue. Core revenue increased due to price (+8%), partially offset by lower volume/mix (4%). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.5%.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Net cash flow used in operations was $165.7 million during the first six months of 2022, compared to net cash flow from operations of $40.7 million during the same period a year ago. The increase in net cash flow used in operations was due to higher investment in working capital and lower net income. Free cash flow used was $200.5 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to free cash flow used of $4.0 million during the same period a year ago. The increase in free cash flow used was due to higher net cash flow used in operations, partially offset by lower capital expenditures.

The company repurchased 3,430,006 shares in the second quarter for $64.3 million.

Total liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents and undrawn committed credit facilities, was $550.8 million as of June 25, 2022, compared to total liquidity of $837.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in total liquidity was primarily due to cash utilized for share repurchases, higher working capital investments, and decreased earnings in the current period.

Revised 2022 Outlook

Core revenue growth remains at approximately 10%, but due to foreign exchange translation headwinds, revenue growth is revised to a range of 4% to 6% from a previous range of 7% to 10%.
Adjusted EBITDA is lowered to a range of $430 million to $450 million from previous outlook of $520 million to $565 million.
Full year 2022 capital expenditures are expected to be within a range of $90 million to $110 million, compared to the previous outlook of $130 million to $150 million.

Share Repurchase Authorization

On July 28, 2022, the board of directors approved a new share repurchase authorization to purchase up to $200 million of the company's common stock. The new share repurchase program, which replaces the company's existing program, is designed to return value to shareholders by offsetting dilution from stock issuances and reducing share count over time. The company expects to fund repurchases through cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will be determined by management at its discretion and will vary depending on certain factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, available funds and alternative uses of capital. This program has no termination date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements by our CEO and statements regarding our business strategies and ability to execute on our plans, market potential, future financial performance, customer demand, the potential of our categories, brands and innovations, the impact of our footprint rationalization and modernization program, the impact of acquisitions and divestitures on our business and our ability to maximize value and integrate operations, our pipeline of productivity projects, the estimated impact of tax reform on our results, litigation outcomes, and our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, prospects, assumptions, or other future events. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "might", "plan", "potential", "predict", "seek", or "should", or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans, expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections of our management. Although we believe that these statements are based on reasonable expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections, they are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those indicated in such statements.

The assumptions underlying the guidance provided for 2022 include revenue impact from increased pricing; softening demand; product mix; headwind from foreign exchange; and margin expansion from volume, pricing, and productivity, offset by higher expenses related to material and freight inflation and SG&A expense. Additionally, the outlook does not include the impact of potential acquisitions or divestitures and assumes no new COVID-19 lockdowns or restrictions, which could unfavorably impact our operations, labor availability, and supply chain continuity.

Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include risks associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company and our employees, customers, and suppliers, and other factors, including the factors discussed in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The forward-looking statements included in this release are made as of the date hereof, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify any forward-looking statements to reflect events, new information or circumstances occurring after the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release presents certain "non-GAAP" financial measures. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables at the end of this press release. The company provides certain guidance solely on a non-GAAP basis because the company cannot predict certain elements that are included in certain reported GAAP results, including the variables and individual adjustments necessary for a reconciliation to GAAP. While management is not able to specifically quantify the reconciliation items for forward-looking non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort, management bases the estimated ranges of non-GAAP measures for future periods on its reasonable estimates of such factors as assumed effective tax rate, assumed interest expense, and other assumptions about capital requirements for future periods. The variability of these items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP results.

We use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful in highlighting trends because they exclude the results of decisions that are outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to measure our financial performance and also to report our results to our board of directors. Further, our executive incentive compensation is based in part on adjusted EBITDA. In addition, we use adjusted EBITDA for purposes of calculating compliance with our debt covenants in certain of our debt facilities. adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance or to cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted for the following items: loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; equity earnings of non-consolidated entities; income tax (benefit) expense; depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; impairment and restructuring charges; gain on previously held shares of equity investment; (gain) loss on sale of property and equipment; share-based compensation expense; non-cash foreign exchange transaction/translation (income) loss; other non-cash items; other items; and costs related to debt restructuring and debt refinancing. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.

We present several financial metrics in "core" terms, which exclude the impact of foreign exchange and acquisitions completed in the last twelve months. We use core adjusted EBITDA, which we define as adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of foreign exchange and acquisitions completed in the last twelve months. We define core revenue as net revenue excluding the impact of foreign exchange and acquisitions completed in the last twelve months. Our use of core margin is defined as core adjusted EBITDA divided by core revenue. These "core" metrics assist management, investors, and analysts in understanding the organic performance of the operations.

We present free cash flow because we believe it assists investors and analysts in determining the quality of our earnings. We also use free cash flow to measure our financial performance and to report to our board of directors. In addition, our executive incentive compensation is based in part on free cash flow. We define free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures (including purchases of intangible assets). Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure. We also present net debt leverage because it is a key financial metric that is used by management to assess the balance sheet risk of the company. We define net debt leverage as net debt (total principal debt outstanding less unrestricted cash) divided by adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve month period.

Adjusted net income represents net income adjusted for certain items as presented in our reconciliation of non-GAAP, including the after-tax impact of i) non-cash foreign currency (gains) losses, ii) impairment and restructuring charges, iii) one-time non-cash gains, and iv) other non-recurring expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions and litigation. Adjusted EPS represents net income per diluted share adjusted to exclude the estimated per share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate adjusted net income as described above. Where applicable, such items are tax-effected at our estimated annual adjusted effective tax rate.

Other companies may compute these measures differently. Non-GAAP metrics should not be considered as alternatives to any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this release may not sum precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
