AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

WINCHESTER, Virginia (February 25, 2020) -- American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the "Company") today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2020.

Net sales for the third fiscal quarter increased 3.0% to $395.8 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced growth in the builder and home center channels during the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. Net sales for the first nine months of the current fiscal year increased 1.1% to $1,251.1 million from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The Company experienced growth in the builder channel during the first nine months of fiscal year 2020, which was partially offset by declines in the home center and independent dealers and distributors channels.

Net income was $12.8 million ($0.75 per diluted share) for the third quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $18.4 million ($1.07 per diluted share) in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the current quarter was negatively impacted by tariffs, particleboard supply disruption costs and expenses related to the completion of our facility move in California. Net income for the first nine months of the current fiscal year was $61.8 million ($3.65 per diluted share) compared with $61.7 million ($3.53 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.  Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $1.30 for the third quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $1.40 in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year and $5.27 for the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared with $5.05 for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third fiscal quarter was $50.1 million, or 12.7% of net sales, compared to $52.2 million, or 13.6% of net sales, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of the fiscal year was $182.6 million, or 14.6% of net sales, compared to $181.1 million, or 14.6% of net sales, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

“Although we believe we experienced good growth relative to the market, our third fiscal quarter financials proved to be challenging due to ongoing volatility in the market and a more prominent impact from cost headwinds,” said Cary Dunston, Chairman and CEO. “We had solid growth within our builder, dealer and stock home center businesses, which was partially offset by a decline in our made-to-order home center business.  Margins were challenged due to the completion of our facility move in California and the continued cost associated with tariffs and particle board disruption.”

Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of the current fiscal year was $112.2 million and free cash flow totaled $80.2 million. The Company paid down $90.0 million of its term loan facility during the first nine months of the current fiscal year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below.

Management believes all of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current period’s results against the corresponding prior period’s results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EPS per diluted share

We use Adjusted EPS per diluted share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company’s results by providing an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and/or non-cash items. We define Adjusted EPS per diluted share as diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of (1) expenses related to the acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. ("RSI acquisition") and subsequent restructuring charges, (2) the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (3) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and (4) the tax benefit of RSI acquisition expenses and subsequent restructuring charges, the net gain on debt forgiveness and modification and the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. The amortization of intangible assets is driven by the RSI acquisition and will recur in future periods. Management has determined that excluding amortization of intangible assets from our definition of Adjusted EPS per diluted share will better help it evaluate the performance of our business and profitability and we have also received similar feedback from some of our investors regarding the same.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in evaluating the performance of our business, and we use each in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (5) expenses related to the RSI acquisition and subsequent restructuring charges, (6) stock-based compensation expense, (7) gain/loss on asset disposals, (8) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts and (9) net gain on debt forgiveness and modification. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of our business.

AMWD Announces Third Quarter Results

Page 5

February 25, 2020

We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Free cash flow

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to subtract amounts for capital expenditures consisting of cash payments for property, plant and equipment and cash payments for investments in displays from cash flows from continuing operations which is how we define free cash flow. Management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. It also provides a measure of our ability to repay our debt obligations.

Net leverage

Net leverage is a performance measure that we believe provides investors a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents that eventually could be used to repay outstanding debt.

We define net leverage as net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following tables:
