VENICE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PGT Innovations, Inc. (NYSE: PGTI), a national leader in premium windows and doors, including impact-resistant products and products designed to unify indoor/outdoor living spaces, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 28, 2019.
Financial Highlights for 2019 Compared to 2018
- Fourth quarter 2019 net sales were $175 million, compared to $190 million; Full year 2019 net sales were $745 million, compared to $698 million, including a net increase of $89 million from Western Window Systems
- Fourth quarter 2019 net income was $3 million, compared to $10 million; Fourth quarter 2019 adjusted net income was $6 million, compared to $12 million
- Fourth quarter 2019 net income per diluted share was $0.06, compared to $0.18; Fourth quarter 2019 adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.10, compared to $0.21
- Fourth quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was $24 million, compared to $32 million; Full year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA was $128 million, compared to $127 million
2020 Guidance
- Net sales of $850 million to $880 million
- Adjusted EBITDA of $145 million to $155 million
- Net income per diluted share of $0.86 to $0.99
“Sales in the quarter were down by 8 percent compared to the prior-year quarter, in which we experienced record-setting growth, partially driven by the demand and overall consumer brand awareness generated by two major hurricanes.” said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are focused on driving growth and delivered better-than-expected sales in the fourth quarter of 2019 across our legacy repair and remodel business. We are seeing strong new order entries for our legacy business in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the prior-year quarter and expect this positive momentum to continue in 2020.”
“Completion of the acquisition of NewSouth Window Solutions was another step toward fulfilling our strategy to become a national leader of premium windows and doors,” said Jackson. “Last year we completed the acquisition of Western Window Systems, which extended our footprint to include growing markets outside of Florida. NewSouth further increases our diversification by adding a direct-to-consumer distribution channel. We will continue to pursue our strategy that we believe will drive long-term organic growth and expand our sales through the addition of incremental channels.”
“In our Western business unit, sales increased 8 percent compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting continued expansion in its core and emerging markets,” added Jackson.
“We ended the year with a cash balance of $97 million and a trailing-twelve-month net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.2 times,” said Sherri Baker, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of PGT Innovations. “Consistent with our priority of maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet, we anticipate that reducing leverage after acquisitions will remain a capital allocation priority.”
“Today we are announcing full-year guidance for 2020, including net sales in the range of $850 million to $880 million, adjusted EBITDA in the range of $145 million to $155 million, and EPS in the range of $0.86 to $0.99. These estimates include the expected contribution from NewSouth Window Solutions. We remain focused on driving sales outside of our core markets and expanding our product portfolio in addition to continuing our execution on controlling costs,” concluded Baker.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release regarding our business that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “guidance,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “may,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” and similar terminology. These risks and uncertainties include factors such as:
- unpredictable weather and macroeconomic factors that may negatively impact the repair and remodel and new construction markets and the construction industry generally, especially in the state of Florida and the western United States, where the substantial portion of our sales are currently generated, and in the U.S. generally;
- changes in raw material prices, especially for aluminum, glass and vinyl, including, price increases due to the implementation of tariffs and other trade-related restrictions;
- our dependence on a limited number of suppliers for certain of our key materials;
- our dependence on our impact-resistant product lines and contemporary indoor/outdoor window and door systems, and on consumer preferences for those types and styles of products;
- the effects of increased expenses or unanticipated liabilities incurred as a result of, or due to activities related to, our acquisitions of NewSouth and Western Window Systems;
- our level of indebtedness, which increased in connection with our acquisition of Western Window Systems, and increased further in connection with our acquisition of NewSouth;
- increases in bad debt owed to us by our customers in the event of a downturn in the home repair and remodel or new home construction channels in our core markets and our inability to collect such debt;
- the risks that the anticipated cost savings, synergies, revenue enhancement strategies and other benefits expected from our acquisitions of NewSouth and Western Window Systems may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected or that our actual integration costs may exceed our estimates;
- increases in transportation costs, including increases in fuel prices;
- our dependence on our limited number of geographically concentrated manufacturing facilities;
- sales fluctuations to and changes in our relationships with key customers;
- federal, state and local laws and regulations, including unfavorable changes in local building codes and environmental and energy code regulations;
- risks associated with our information technology systems, including cybersecurity-related risks, such as unauthorized intrusions into our systems by “hackers” and theft of data and information from our systems, and the risks that our information technology systems do not function as intended or experience temporary or long-term failures to perform as intended.
- product liability and warranty claims brought against us;
- in addition to the acquisitions of NewSouth and Western Window Systems, our ability to successfully integrate businesses we may acquire in the future, or that any business we acquire may not perform as we expected at the time we acquired it; and
- the other risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 and our other SEC filings.
Statements in this press release that are forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our expectations regarding: (1) order entries and demand for our products during 2020; (2) our long-term organic growth; (3) our ability to expand our sales, including through our expansion outside of Florida and into markets throughout the Western United States; (4) our expectations regarding sales growth through the acquisition or other addition of incremental sales channels and markets; (5) our capital allocation priorities; (6) our cost-reduction measures; (7) the strength of our balance sheet and the flexibility it provides to us; and (8) the 2020 financial performance guidance described in this press release. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances from the date of this press release.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the financial schedules include financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We believe that presentation of non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, and adjusted EBITDA provides investors and analysts with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors and analysts to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance compared to past performance. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a better baseline for assessing our future earnings potential. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release are provided to give investors access to types of measures that we use in analyzing our results.
Adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. Adjusted net income per share consists of GAAP net income per share adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. We believe these measures enable investors and analysts to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to the past performance and provide a better baseline for assessing the Company's future earnings potential. However, these measures do not provide a complete picture of our operations.
Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and analysts about the Company's performance because they eliminate the effects of period-to-period changes in taxes, costs associated with capital investments and interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash the Company must use to service its debt or pay its income taxes and thus does not reflect the actual funds generated from operations or available for capital investments.
Our calculations of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, and adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to calculations performed by other companies and reported as similarly titled measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP measures. Schedules that reconcile adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, and adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income are included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.
Adjusted EBITDA as used in the calculation of the net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio, consists of our adjusted EBITDA as described above, but for the trailing twelve-month period, adjusted pursuant to the covenants contained in the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 for the acquisition of Western Window Systems.
