Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: APOG), a leader in the design and development of value-added glass and metal products and services for enclosing commercial buildings, framing and displays, today announced its fiscal 2019 second-quarter results.
Second-Quarter Highlights
Commentary
“In the second quarter, we continued to benefit from strong market conditions and demand for Apogee’s diverse product and services offerings, which drove solid top-line growth, adjusted earnings in-line with prior year, and increased cash flow. However, challenges ramping-up production in Architectural Glass in a tight labor market impacted overall results in the quarter,” said Joseph F. Puishys, Chief Executive Officer. “Apogee’s other three business segments delivered solid results, as expected, with Architectural Services achieving over 60 percent revenue growth and robust margin expansion.”
“Our Glass segment saw much stronger than expected customer demand and a surge in orders across all segments of the market. However, we experienced difficulty hiring and training new staff to meet rapidly rising order volumes. We’ve moved aggressively to address these issues and made improvements as the quarter progressed. We expect to fully resolve these issues in the second half of the fiscal year, as our workforce stabilizes and our factories reach higher levels of output and productivity.”
Mr. Puishys concluded, “As a result of lower than expected second quarter results and a reduced second half outlook for Architectural Glass, we have decreased our guidance for the fiscal year. Looking ahead, I remain confident in Apogee’s long-term direction. We continue to see multiple drivers for continued organic growth, supported by a strong backlog and a positive outlook for the North American construction industry. We are pursuing numerous opportunities for margin expansion and we have a strong balance sheet, which provides flexibility for investing in our business and driving long-term shareholder value.”
Segment Results
Architectural Framing Systems
Architectural Framing Systems revenue increased slightly to $189.9 million, compared to $189.0 million in the prior year quarter.
Operating income was $18.3 million in the second quarter, compared to $16.5 million in the prior year quarter, with operating margin improving by 80 basis points compared to last year. Adjusted operating income was $19.4 million, compared to $19.2 million last year and adjusted operating margin was 10.2 percent, up slightly from 10.1 percent in the prior year.
Sequentially, Framing Systems revenue grew 6.0 percent compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and adjusted operating margin improved by 170 basis points, reflecting continued progress in the segment’s growth and margin expansion strategies.
Segment backlog remained strong at $428.4 million, compared to $427.0 million a quarter ago.
Architectural Glass
Architectural Glass had second quarter revenue of $88.1 million, down 9.5 percent from the prior year quarter. Order activity grew substantially during the quarter, with the segment recording its highest quarterly order volume in 15 years. Sequentially, Architectural Glass revenue grew 15 percent, compared to $76.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
Operating income was $1.7 million in the second quarter and operating margin was 2.0 percent, down from $10.3 million last year and 10.5 percent in the prior year, respectively. The lower operating margin was primarily driven by significantly increased labor costs, lower productivity, and higher cost of quality, as the segment was challenged to efficiently ramp-up production to meet the higher than expected, short lead-time customer demand.
Architectural Services
As expected, Architectural Services revenue grew sharply compared to the second quarter of last year, increasing 63.4 percent to $76.5 million, as the business continued to execute on the substantial backlog booked over the past several quarters.
The segment posted strong profitability improvements, with operating income increasing to $7.6 million and operating margin of 10.0 percent, compared to $0.8 million and 1.7 percent respectively in the prior year period, due to leverage on higher volumes and strong project execution.
Segment backlog stands at $404.9 million, compared to $439.1 million a quarter ago and $323.0 million a year ago. This backlog, along with current bidding and award activity, provides solid visibility for the segment into fiscal 2020.
Large-Scale Optical
Large-Scale Optical continued to deliver strong operating results, in-line with expectations. Segment revenue was $20.4 million, compared to $20.3 million in the prior year quarter. Year-to-date, segment revenue has grown 5.8 percent over the prior year.
Operating income was $4.2 million and operating margin was 20.8 percent, comparable to the prior year period.
Financial Condition
The company ended the quarter with total debt of $225 million. Year-to-date cash provided by operating activities increased 17 percent to $47.9 million. Capital expenditures for the first six months of the fiscal year were $24.2 million, compared to $26.8 million in the prior year period, as the company continued its disciplined investments in growth and productivity improvement initiatives. Fiscal year-to-date, Apogee has returned $8.8 million of cash to shareholders through dividend payments.
Outlook
The company is reducing its outlook for the full year, primarily due to lower than expected second quarter results and decreased profit expectations for Architectural Glass.
The company’s updated outlook for fiscal 2019 includes:
