leading global manufacturer of water management products and solutions
for non-residential, residential, infrastructure and agricultural
applications, today announced financial results for the third fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2018.

-
Net sales decreased 0.8% to $318.1 million
-
Net income decreased 50.2% to $16.6 million
-
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) decreased 13.5% to $48.4 million

-
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased 6.5% to $195.1 million
-

million
-

Scott Barbour, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADS commented,
“We are on track to meet our financial guidance for the year, despite
unseasonably wet weather conditions throughout the United States and
Canada in November and December which shifted sales some volume from our
fiscal third quarter to our fiscal fourth quarter. As we look ahead, we
remain focused on improved execution and key strategies to drive
above-market growth, while continuing to mitigate inflationary
pressures, increase profitability and drive shareholder value. We are
confident in the health of our core construction end markets and have a
clear line of sight to execute on the guidance we are reaffirming today.”
Barbour continued, “This quarter’s domestic construction market growth
of 6% was driven by strength in our non-residential and residential end
markets as well as broad-based growth across both Pipe and Allied
Products. The agriculture market remained challenged this quarter
partially due to weather conditions in key geographies such as the
Midwest and Ontario. However, despite the lower than anticipated sales
volume, our third quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin was on track to our
plan. Recall, the third quarter margin in the prior year was a
high-water mark, benefitting from pricing actions we took in September
2017 to get ahead of inflationary pressure on resin due to the
hurricanes.”
Third Quarter Fiscal 2018 Results
Net sales decreased 0.8% to $318.1 million, as compared to $320.8
million in the prior year. Domestic net sales increased 0.8% to $279.2
million as compared to $276.9 million in the prior year, driven by
strength in construction market sales. International net sales decreased
11.4% to $38.9 million as compared to $44.0 million in the prior year,
driven primarily by sales in Canada.
Gross profit decreased 7.0% to $72.4 million, as compared to $77.8
million the prior year quarter. As a percentage of net sales, gross
profit decreased 150 basis points to 22.8%, compared to 24.3% in the
prior year. The decrease is primarily due to higher inflationary costs
on resin, transportation and wages, among others.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) decreased 13.5% to $48.4 million, as compared
to $56.0 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of net
sales, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 230 basis points to 15.2% as compared
to 17.5% in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin was
largely attributed to the factors mentioned above.
Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures for Adjusted
EBITDA and Free Cash Flow 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.”
Fiscal Year-to-Date Results
Net sales increased 3.0% to $1,112.5 million, as compared to $1,080.2
million in the prior year. Domestic net sales increased 2.6% to $972.9
million as compared to $948.3 million in the prior year, primarily
driven by solid construction market demand, favorable pricing and strong
Allied product sales. International net sales increased 5.7% to $139.6
million as compared to $132.0 million in the prior year, driven by
growth in Mexico and our Exports business.
Gross profit increased 5.1% to $267.5 million, as compared to $254.4
million the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit
increased 50 basis points to 24.0% compared to 23.5% in the prior year.
The increase is primarily due to favorable pricing and cost containment,
partially offset by higher inflationary costs on resin, transportation
and wages, among others.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased 6.5% to $195.1 million, as compared
to $183.2 million in the prior year. As a percentage of net sales,
Adjusted EBITDA increased 50 basis points to 17.5% as compared to 17.0%
in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin was largely
attributed to the factors mentioned above.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased 6.6% to $148.0
million, as compared to $138.9 million in the prior year. Free cash flow
(Non-GAAP) increased 12.6% to $116.9 million, as compared to $103.8
million in the prior year. Net debt (total debt and capital lease
obligations net of cash) was $294.1 million as of December 31, 2018, a
decrease of $68.1 million from March 31, 2018.
Fiscal Year 2019 Outlook
Based on current visibility, backlog of existing orders and business
trends, the Company reaffirmed its net sales and Adjusted EBITDA targets
for fiscal 2019. Net sales are expected to be in the range of $1.375
billion to $1.425 billion and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the
range of $225 to $240 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be
approximately $40 to $50 million.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)
The Company established an ESOP to enable employees to acquire stock
ownership in ADS in the form of redeemable convertible preferred shares
(“preferred shares”). All preferred shares will be converted to common
shares by plan maturity, which will be no later than March 2023. The
ESOP’s conversion of preferred shares into common shares will have a
meaningful impact on net income, net income per share and common shares
outstanding. The common shares outstanding will be greater after
conversion.
Net Income
The impact of the ESOP on net income includes the ESOP deferred
compensation attributable to the preferred shares allocated to employee
accounts during the period, which is a non-cash charge to our earnings
and not deductible for income tax purposes.

terminations over the life of the plan.

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 and Free Cash
Flow, 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 below
reconciliations 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
below a reconciliation of cash flow from operating activities to Free
Cash Flow.
The following tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA to Net Income and Free Cash Flow to Cash Flow from Operating
Activities, the most comparable GAAP measures, for each of the periods
indicated.
