The Company’s net sales outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year remains unchanged from the prior outlook but we now expect stronger Adjusted EBITDA performance for the remainder of the fiscal year consistent with the improvements needed to meet our long-term goals.” Second Quarter Results Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased $87.6 million, or 15.6%, to $473.9 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $2.36 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $2.24 in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased $4.7 million, or 7.0%, to $72.3 million, or 15.3% of net sales, compared to $67.6 million, or 12.0% of net sales, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Fiscal Year to Date Results Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2024 decreased $132.3 million, or 12.0%, to $972.1 million compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net income was $68.2 million ($4.13 per diluted share) compared with $48.9 million ($2.94 per diluted share) in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2024 increased $19.3 million due to operational improvements in our manufacturing facilities, a stabilizing supply chain and reduced overhead spending, partially offset by a decrease in net sales and a $4.9 million pre-tax charge related to Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Vietnamese plywood imports recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, which we have previously disclosed. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $5.15 for the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared with $3.94 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of fiscal 2024 increased $23.4 million, or 18.8%, to $147.5 million, or 15.2% of net sales, compared to $124.1 million, or 11.2% of net sales, for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Balance Sheet & Cash Flow As of October 31, 2023, the Company had $96.4 million in cash plus access to $323.2 million of additional availability under its revolving credit facility. Also, as of October 31, 2023, the Company had $206.3 million in term loan debt and $163.8 million drawn on its revolving credit facility. Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2024 was $143.7 million and free cash flow totaled $109.9 million. The Company repurchased 394,220 shares, or approximately 2.5% of shares outstanding, for $30.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and 722,515 shares, or approximately 4.5% of shares outstanding, for $52.1 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024. On November 29, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $125 million of the Company's outstanding common shares. In conjunction with this authorization the Board of Directors cancelled the remaining $22.9 million that had yet to be repurchased under the $100 million existing authorization from May 25, 2021. Any repurchases under the stock repurchase program are subject to market conditions, the Company’s cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with applicable laws and regulations and contractual covenants and any other factors management may deem relevant at the time of such repurchases. The Company is not obligated to make any stock repurchases in the future. Fiscal 2024 Financial Outlook For fiscal 2024 (which includes the now completed second quarter) the Company expects: Low double digit net sales decline year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $235 million to $250 million “During the recently completed second quarter, our teams improved Adjusted EBITDA by 330 BPS to $72.3 million, or 15.3% of net sales, exceeding our expectations. Our team continues to deliver on the commitment to improving our results,” said Paul Joachimczyk, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Given our strong performance for the first half of the fiscal year, we are increasing our full fiscal year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to $235 million to $250 million.” Our Adjusted EBITDA outlook excludes the impact of certain income and expense items that management believes are not part of underlying operations. These items may include restructuring costs, interest expense, stock-based compensation expense and certain tax items. Our management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these income and expense items on its reported net income, which could be significant, are difficult to predict, and may be highly variable. As a result, the Company does not provide a reconciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for its Adjusted EBITDA outlook.

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 to, 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. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin We use EBITDA, 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 EBITDA, 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 EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense (benefit), (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude (1) expenses related to the acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. ("RSI acquisition") and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition, (2) non-recurring restructuring charges, (3) net gain/loss on debt forgiveness and modification, (4) stock-based compensation expense, (5) gain/loss on asset disposals, (6) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, and (7) pension settlement charges. 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. 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 RSI acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the RSI acquisition, (2) non-recurring restructuring charges, (3) the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (4) net gain/loss on debt forgiveness and modification, (5) pension settlement charges, and (6) 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. 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.

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 to, 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. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin We use EBITDA, 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 EBITDA, 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 EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense (benefit), (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude (1) expenses related to the acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. ("RSI acquisition") and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition, (2) non-recurring restructuring charges, (3) net gain/loss on debt forgiveness and modification, (4) stock-based compensation expense, (5) gain/loss on asset disposals, (6) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, and (7) pension settlement charges. 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. 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 RSI acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the RSI acquisition, (2) non-recurring restructuring charges, (3) the amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (4) net gain/loss on debt forgiveness and modification, (5) pension settlement charges, and (6) 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. 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.

American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (the "Company") today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2023. “Our teams delivered strong financial performance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 despite the slowing demand environment,” said Scott Culbreth, President and CEO. “Consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 performance, net sales and Adjusted EBITDA exceeded our expectations as improved operational performance continues. The Company’s net sales outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year remains unchanged from the prior outlook but we now expect stronger Adjusted EBITDA performance for the remainder of the fiscal year consistent with the improvements needed to meet our long-term goals.” Second Quarter Results Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased $87.6 million, or 15.6%, to $473.9 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income was $30.3 million ($1.85 per diluted share) compared with $28.8 million ($1.73 per diluted share) in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased $1.6 million due to operational improvements in our manufacturing facilities, a stabilizing supply chain and reduced overhead spending, partially offset by a decrease in net sales. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $2.36 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $2.24 in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased $4.7 million, or 7.0%, to $72.3 million, or 15.3% of net sales, compared to $67.6 million, or 12.0% of net sales, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Fiscal Year to Date Results Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2024 decreased $132.3 million, or 12.0%, to $972.1 million compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net income was $68.2 million ($4.13 per diluted share) compared with $48.9 million ($2.94 per diluted share) in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2024 increased $19.3 million due to operational improvements in our manufacturing facilities, a stabilizing supply chain and reduced overhead spending, partially offset by a decrease in net sales and a $4.9 million pre-tax charge related to Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Vietnamese plywood imports recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, which we have previously disclosed. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $5.15 for the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared with $3.94 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of fiscal 2024 increased $23.4 million, or 18.8%, to $147.5 million, or 15.2% of net sales, compared to $124.1 million, or 11.2% of net sales, for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Balance Sheet & Cash Flow As of October 31, 2023, the Company had $96.4 million in cash plus access to $323.2 million of additional availability under its revolving credit facility. Also, as of October 31, 2023, the Company had $206.3 million in term loan debt and $163.8 million drawn on its revolving credit facility. Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2024 was $143.7 million and free cash flow totaled $109.9 million. The Company repurchased 394,220 shares, or approximately 2.5% of shares outstanding, for $30.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and 722,515 shares, or approximately 4.5% of shares outstanding, for $52.1 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024. On November 29, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $125 million of the Company's outstanding common shares. In conjunction with this authorization the Board of Directors cancelled the remaining $22.9 million that had yet to be repurchased under the $100 million existing authorization from May 25, 2021. Any repurchases under the stock repurchase program are subject to market conditions, the Company’s cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with applicable laws and regulations and contractual covenants and any other factors management may deem relevant at the time of such repurchases. The Company is not obligated to make any stock repurchases in the future. Fiscal 2024 Financial Outlook For fiscal 2024 (which includes the now completed second quarter) the Company expects: Low double digit net sales decline year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $235 million to $250 million “During the recently completed second quarter, our teams improved Adjusted EBITDA by 330 BPS to $72.3 million, or 15.3% of net sales, exceeding our expectations. Our team continues to deliver on the commitment to improving our results,” said Paul Joachimczyk, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Given our strong performance for the first half of the fiscal year, we are increasing our full fiscal year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to $235 million to $250 million.” Our Adjusted EBITDA outlook excludes the impact of certain income and expense items that management believes are not part of underlying operations. These items may include restructuring costs, interest expense, stock-based compensation expense and certain tax items. Our management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these income and expense items on its reported net income, which could be significant, are difficult to predict, and may be highly variable. As a result, the Company does not provide a reconciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for its Adjusted EBITDA outlook.

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: Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin Three Months Ended Six Months Ended October 31, October 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net income (GAAP) $ 30,341 $ 28,784 $ 68,191 $ 48,854 Add back: Income tax expense 10,120 9,679 20,735 16,370 Interest expense, net 1,953 4,422 4,390 8,475 Depreciation and amortization expense 11,647 12,334 23,392 24,764 Amortization of customer relationship intangibles 11,417 11,417 22,834 22,834 EBITDA (Non-GAAP) $ 65,478 $ 66,636 $ 139,542 $ 121,297 Add back: Acquisition and restructuring related expenses (1) 20 20 40 40 Non-recurring restructuring charges, net (2) (26 ) — (198 ) — Pension settlement, net — (6 ) — (245 ) Change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts (3) 3,116 (818 ) 2,101 (580 ) Stock-based compensation expense 2,155 1,754 4,402 3,389 Loss on asset disposal 1,586 37 1,593 214 Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) $ 72,329 $ 67,623 $ 147,480 $ 124,115 Net Sales $ 473,867 $ 561,499 $ 972,122 $ 1,104,392 Net income margin (GAAP) 6.4 % 5.1 % 7.0 % 4.4 % Adjusted EBITDA margin (Non-GAAP) 15.3 % 12.0 % 15.2 % 11.2 % (1) Acquisition and restructuring related expenses are comprised of expenses related to the RSI acquisition and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition.
