Mar 05, 2019 06:00 am
TUCKER, Ga. -- 

GMS Inc. (NYSE:GMS), a leading North American specialty distributor of interior building products, today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended January 31, 2019.

  • Net sales increased 23.6% to $723.9 million from $585.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
  • Reported net income of $5.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $19.7 million, or $0.47 per diluted share in the prior year.
  • Adjusted net income of $17.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $15.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased to a third quarter record of $59.7 million, or 8.2% of net sales, from Adjusted EBITDA of $42.2 million, or 7.2% of net sales, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

“We were pleased to deliver record net sales and Adjusted EBITDA for our third fiscal quarter, with an organic sales increase of 6.6% reflecting broad-based growth across each of our product lines,” said Mike Callahan, President and CEO. “We generated strong free cash flow in the quarter, which enabled us to reduce our net debt by $32.8 million and repurchase $11.5 million of our common stock under the repurchase program announced last quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $59.7 million increased 41.5%, reflecting contributions from the Titan acquisition and our continued focus on operational improvements.”

Mr. Callahan continued, “We remain encouraged by activity across our end markets and in the broader economy, despite ongoing questions about the current macroeconomic outlook and moderating growth in new residential construction. At the same time, we believe our market-leading position in the distribution of interior building products, our balanced product portfolio and our diversified exposure across commercial and residential new and R&R construction markets, which we believe continue to exhibit healthy long-term fundamentals, will enable us to continue to take advantage of growth opportunities across our business both now and in the future.”

Third Quarter 2019 Results

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended January 31, 2019 were $723.9 million, up 23.6%, with 6.6% on an organic basis, compared to $585.5 million for the third quarter of the prior year.

  • Wallboard sales of $297.4 million increased 16.0% (3.9% on an organic basis) compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018, driven by acquisitions and improved pricing.
  • Ceilings sales of $105.2 million increased 16.4% (10.6% on an organic basis) compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018, mainly due to pricing improvement, higher organic volumes as a result of increased commercial business, and the positive impact of acquisitions.
  • Steel framing sales of $117.4 million increased 21.4% (13.1% on an organic basis) compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018, driven by strong pricing gains, the positive impact of acquisitions, and higher organic volumes as a result of greater commercial activity.
  • Other product sales of $203.9 million increased 43.6% (4.5% on an organic basis) compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018, as a result of the positive impact of acquisitions, as well as higher organic volumes and pricing improvement.

Gross profit of $234.2 million increased 19.9% compared to $195.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, as a result of higher sales including the positive impact of acquisitions and pricing improvement. Gross margin of 32.4% declined from 33.4% a year ago, due to increased product costs and changes in product mix. On a sequential basis, gross margin improved 20 basis points from 32.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was 24.6% for the quarter compared to 26.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was 24.2% compared to 26.3% in the prior year quarter. Of the 210 basis point improvement, 130 basis points was the result of increased cost efficiencies, primarily attributable to cost reduction initiatives taken during the fiscal year, and contributions from the Titan acquisition, partially offset by continuing inflationary pressures, primarily in logistics. The remaining 80 basis points was the result of the amendment of certain equipment operating leases that are now being accounted for as capital leases.

Net income of $5.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $19.7 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted net income of $17.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $15.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted EBITDA of $59.7 million increased 41.5% year over year and represented an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.2%.

As of January 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $74.3 million and total debt of $1.23 billion, compared to cash of $52.9 million and total debt of $1.25 billion, as of October 31, 2018.

About GMS Inc.

Founded in 1971, GMS operates a network of more than 245 distribution centers across the United States and Canada. GMS’s extensive product offering of wallboard, suspended ceilings systems, or ceilings, and complementary construction products is designed to provide a comprehensive one-stop-shop for our core customer, the interior contractor who installs these products in commercial and residential buildings.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GMS reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, it presents Adjusted net income, free cash flow, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are not recognized financial measures under GAAP. GMS believes that Adjusted net income, free cash flow, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin assist investors and analysts in comparing its operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. The Company’s management believes Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A, free cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and capital investments. In addition, the Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA in certain calculations under its senior secured asset based revolving credit facility and its senior secured first lien term loan facility.

You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons GMS considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, the Company may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, Adjusted net income, free cash flow, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in GMS’s industry or across different industries. Please see the tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted net income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
