HILLIARD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (NYSE: WMS) (“ADS” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative water management solutions in the stormwater and onsite septic wastewater industries today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2024.
First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
- Net sales increased 4.8% to $815.3 million
- Net income decreased 6.7% to $162.3 million
- Net income per diluted share decreased 5.5% to $2.06
- Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) decreased 2.1% to $275.5 million
- Adjusted Earnings per share (Non-GAAP) of $2.06 was flat
Scott Barbour, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADS commented, “We are pleased with the fiscal first quarter results, which were right in line with the plan. Revenue growth was led by an 8% increase in Allied product sales and a 6% increase in sales from the Infiltrator business. Revenue in the domestic construction markets increased 6% overall, driven by volume growth in the non-residential, residential and infrastructure end markets at both ADS and Infiltrator. Infrastructure revenue remains a bright spot for the Company as we see the tailwind from the IIJA and ADS’ products gain market share in the segment.”
“This volume growth and increased sales mix from Infiltrator and Allied products helped drive an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 33.8%, one of the highest quarterly margins in Company history. Our strong profitability this quarter is a testament to the resiliency of our business model, in part due to better fixed cost absorption, but also supported by the investments we have made across the Company to increase safety, capacity, productivity and efficiency. We will continue to invest in these strategic priorities, as well as customer service initiatives and strategic inventory, to further strengthen ADS’ competitive advantages.”
Barbour concluded, “Success will continue to be driven by the secular growth trends underpinning ADS’ position as a pure-play water company. In July, we reaffirmed our commitment to providing sustainable water management solutions that safeguard the environment and build resiliency in communities with the release of our Fiscal 2024 Sustainability Report. In addition, we recently started to move into the world-class Engineering and Technology Center near ADS’ corporate headquarters in Hilliard, OH. ADS’ leadership position and scale support the advancement of the industry through highly engineered solutions that will help protect the world’s most precious resource, water, for generations to come.”
First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
Net sales increased $37.3 million, or 4.8%, to $815.3 million, as compared to $778.0 million in the prior year quarter. Domestic pipe sales increased $10.6 million, or 2.5%, to $431.4 million. Domestic allied products & other sales increased $13.9 million, or 7.6%, to $196.0 million. Infiltrator sales increased $7.3 million, or 5.9%, to $130.2 million. The overall increase in domestic net sales was primarily driven by demand in the U.S. construction end markets. International sales increased $5.5 million, or 10.4%, to $57.7 million.
Gross profit increased $1.0 million, or 0.3%, to $332.5 million as compared to $331.5 million in the prior year. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to favorable demand as well as stronger sales mix, as Infiltrator and Allied product sales increased more than Pipe sales. This favorability was partially offset by unfavorable pricing, material cost and transportation costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.5 million, or 8.7% to $94.1, as compared to $86.5 million. This increase is primarily due to higher commissions from the increase in volume, as well as continued investments in talent to support strategic areas such as engineering and product development. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expense was largely flat at 11.5% as compared to 11.1% in the prior year.
Net income per diluted share decreased $0.12, or 5.5%, to $2.06, as compared to $2.18 per share in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the factors mentioned above and partially offset by an $0.14 gain from the sale of a non-core asset last year.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) decreased $5.8 million, or 2.1%, to $275.5 million, as compared to $281.3 million in the prior year, primarily due to the factors mentioned above. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 33.8% as compared to 36.2% in the prior year.
Segment sales results are based on Net sales to external customers. Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures for Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Earnings per Share have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Net cash provided by operating activities was $183.4 million, as compared to $244.0 million in the prior year. Free cash flow (Non-GAAP) was $125.7 million, as compared to $201.9 million in the prior year. Net debt (total debt and finance lease obligations net of cash) was $829.3 million as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of $31.6 million from March 31, 2024.
ADS had total liquidity of $1,131.2 million, comprised of cash of $541.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and $589.6 million of availability under committed credit facilities. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s trailing-twelve-month leverage ratio was 0.9 times Adjusted EBITDA.
In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.3 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $49.2 million. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $167.6 million of common stock may be repurchased under the Company's existing share repurchase authorization.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). ADS management uses non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results available in the accompanying tables.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Earnings per Share, non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are not intended to be substitutes for those reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that comprise net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, non-cash charges and certain other expenses. The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and the Company’s board of directors to assess financial performance and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s business strategies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as the Company’s management and board of directors. In order to provide investors with a meaningful reconciliation, the Company has provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that comprises cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is a measure used by management and the Company’s board of directors to assess the Company’s ability to generate cash. Accordingly, management believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our ability to generate cash flow from operations after capital expenditures. In order to provide investors with a meaningful reconciliation, the Company has provided a reconciliation of cash flow from operating activities to Free Cash Flow.
Adjusted Earnings per Share excludes (gains) losses on disposals of assets or business, restructuring expenses, impairment charges and transaction costs. Adjusted Earnings per Share is a measure used by management and may be useful for investors to evaluate the Company's operational performance.
The following tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, Free Cash Flow to Cash Flow from Operating Activities, and Adjusted Earnings per Share to Diluted Earnings per Share, the most comparable GAAP measures, for each of the periods indicated.
