Apogee Enterprises Reports Fiscal 2022 First-Quarter Results

  • First-quarter revenue grows 13 percent to $326 million
  • First-quarter earnings improve to $0.42 per diluted share
  • Increases full-year earnings guidance to a range of $2.20 to $2.40 per diluted share

Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: APOG) today announced its fiscal 2022 first-quarter results. First-quarter revenue grew 13 percent to $326.0 million, compared to $289.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with growth in each of the company’s four segments. Earnings increased to $0.42 per diluted share, compared to $0.11 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Last year’s first quarter included $1.4 million of pre-tax costs related to COVID-19. Excluding these costs, adjusted earnings in the prior-year quarter were $0.15 per diluted share.1

Commentary

“This was a solid start to our fiscal year, putting us on track to achieve our full year goals,” said Ty R. Silberhorn, Chief Executive Officer. “The business recovered strongly from the pandemic-related issues that impacted last year’s first quarter. We achieved sales growth in all of our segments, with significantly improved earnings.”

Mr. Silberhorn continued, “During the quarter, we also made good progress on our key initiatives. We continued to take steps to improve our cost structure and strengthen operational execution across the business. We launched several foundational projects to enable our enterprise transformation, and we made substantial progress on our enterprise strategy project, to better position the company for long-term profitable growth.”

Segment Results

Architectural Framing Systems

Architectural Framing Systems first-quarter revenue grew 1 percent to $151.8 million, compared to $150.2 million in the prior-year period. Framing Systems had first-quarter operating income of $8.1 million and operating margin of 5.3 percent, up from $7.3 million and 4.9 percent respectively in last year’s first quarter, reflecting benefits from cost-saving actions, which offset increased costs, primarily for materials and freight. Segment backlog increased to $423 million, compared to $411 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Architectural Glass

Architectural Glass revenue in the first quarter grew 8 percent to $83.0 million, compared to $76.9 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by increased volume and a more favorable sales mix. Segment operating income increased to $2.1 million with operating margin of 2.6 percent, compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million and operating margin of (0.6) percent in last year’s first quarter. The improved profitability was driven by increased productivity in core glass operations, the more favorable sales mix, and higher volumes, which offset the impact of higher material and freight costs.

Architectural Services

Architectural Services revenue grew 19 percent to $75.7 million, from $63.6 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by increased volume from executing projects in backlog. First-quarter operating income was $4.5 million with operating margin of 6.0 percent, compared to $5.3 million and 8.4 percent respectively in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting isolated performance impacts on certain projects and a less favorable project mix. Segment backlog was $559 million, compared to $571 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Large-Scale Optical

Large-Scale Optical revenue was $24.2 million, up significantly from $6.3 million in the first quarter last year. In the prior year quarter, the segment’s customers and manufacturing operations were closed for a large part of the quarter to comply with COVID-related government directives. Segment operating income improved to $5.8 million, with operating margin of 24.1 percent, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million and operating margin of (49.6) percent in last year’s first quarter, primarily driven by the increased sales volumes.

Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter was $6.9 million, compared to $24.0 million in the prior-year period. The lower cash flow primarily reflected increased working capital related to revenue growth. Capital expenditures were $4.7 million, compared to $8.6 million in last year’s first quarter. During the first quarter, the company repurchased $12.6 million of stock and returned $5.0 million to shareholders through dividend payments.

Quarter-end total debt was $165 million, compared to $211 million at the end of last year’s first quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were $36.5 million, compared to $11.6 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Outlook

Based on first quarter results, the company is increasing its full-year earnings guidance to a range of $2.20 to $2.40 per diluted share, up from the previously announced range of $2.10 to $2.35. This guidance includes $7 to $10 million of expected pre-tax costs related to investments in transformation initiatives. The company continues to expect a full-year tax rate of approximately 24.5 percent, and full-year capital expenditures of approximately $45 million.

Conference Call Information

The company will host a conference call today at 8:00 a.m. Central Time to discuss its financial results and provide a business update. This call will be webcast and is available in the Investor Relations section of the company’s website, along with presentation slides, at https://www.apog.com/events-and-presentations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release and other financial communications may contain the following non-GAAP measures:

  • Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (“adjusted earnings per share” or “adjusted EPS”) are used by the company to provide meaningful supplemental information about its operating performance by excluding amounts that are not considered part of core operating results to enhance comparability of results from period to period. Examples of items excluded to arrive at this adjusted measure in recent reporting periods include: impairment charge, restructuring costs, acquired project-related charges, and COVID-19 related expenditures.
  • Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, minus capital expenditures. The company considers this measure an indication of its financial strength. However, free cash flow does not fully reflect the company’s ability to freely deploy generated cash, as it does not reflect, for example, required payments on indebtedness and other fixed obligations.
  • Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. We believe this metric provides useful information to investors and analysts about the Company's performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of the company.

Another non-GAAP operational measure that management uses is backlog. Backlog represents the dollar amount of signed contracts or firm orders, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process, which is expected to be recognized as revenue. Backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of contract profitability. Backlog should not be used as the sole indicator of future segment revenue because we have a substantial number of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period and are not included in backlog.

Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the company’s historical and prospective financial performance, measure operational profitability on a consistent basis, and provide enhanced transparency to the investment community. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the reported financial results of the company prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements”. These statements reflect Apogee management’s expectations or beliefs as of the date of this release. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All forward-looking statements are qualified by factors that may affect the results, performance, financial condition, prospects and opportunities of the company , including the following: (A) uncertainty regarding the potential impacts and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; (B) global economic conditions and the cyclical nature of the North American and Latin American commercial construction industries, which impact our three architectural segments, and consumer confidence and the condition of the U.S. economy, which impact our large-scale optical segment; (C) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; (D) actions of new and existing competitors; (E) ability to effectively utilize and increase production capacity; (F) departure of key personnel and ability to source sufficient labor; (G) product performance, reliability and quality issues; (H) project management and installation issues that could affect the profitability of individual contracts; (I) changes in consumer and customer preference, or architectural trends and building codes; (J) dependence on a relatively small number of customers in certain business segments; (K) revenue and operating results that could differ from market expectations; (L) self-insurance risk related to a material product liability or other event for which the company is liable; (M) dependence on information technology systems and information security concerns; (N) cost of compliance with and changes in environmental regulations; (O) fluctuations in the availability and cost of materials used in our products and the impact of trade; (P) integration of recent acquisitions and management of acquired contracts; (Q) impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets; and (R) our ability to effectively develop and execute our enterprise transformation and strategy initiatives. The company cautions investors that actual future results could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, and that other factors may in the future prove to be important in affecting the company’s results, performance, prospects, or opportunities. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. More information concerning potential factors that could affect future financial results is included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2021 and in subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

1 Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. See Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures later in this press release for more information and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
