"We finished our fiscal year with another strong quarter. Our fourth quarter financial results, with year-over-year net sales growth of 12 percent, showed recovery from impacts of Hurricane Ian and the ransomware incident, and was driven by continued operational improvement across our portfolio of brands. We were able to offset new construction demand weakness from macro-economic headwinds, including higher inflation and interest rates through solid execution across the enterprise,” said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Organic sales growth in the fourth quarter was 5 percent year-over-year, with our Western region growing 15 percent, and our Southeast region growing 2 percent. Our fourth quarter revenues were impacted by approximately $15 million due to the effects of Hurricane Ian and the ransomware incident. The suddenness of the two events impacted our ability to expand gross margin during the quarter, and we realized a year-over-year flat gross margin. In spite of the challenges during the fourth quarter, our team showed resilience and ended the quarter with some of the strongest performances for the year across our core businesses," added Jackson.

“We completed our acquisition of Martin Door during the fourth quarter, as noted on our third quarter call. We are making progress in integrating Martin across our dealer, distributor and direct-to-consumer channels and look forward to its contributions in the coming year,” added Jackson.

"Over the past five years, we have expanded our geographic footprint and product lines to meet consumer demand with our acquisitions of Western Window Systems, New South, Eco, Anlin, and Martin. We believe our national footprint and depth of product offering provide a strong basis for future profitable growth. Going forward, we will be looking to maximize shareholder value through the return of capital with our recently announced share repurchase program. Our primary priority will continue to invest in our enterprise through high-return capital projects,” concluded Jackson.

“In the fourth quarter of 2022, we generated $44 million of operating cash flow, ending the fiscal year with a cash balance $67 million,” said John Kunz, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “For the full year, we generated over $151 million in free cash flow, a great source to fund our capital priorities,” added Kunz.

"The strong 28 percent full-year sales growth for 2022 was driven by operational improvements and the impact of price increases, offsetting a reduction in unit demand and backlog. Our organic backlog declined $126 million during the year. With the uncertainty in macro-economic conditions, higher interest rates and an inflationary environment, we are issuing first quarter 2023 guidance for net sales in the range of $370 million to $390 million, and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $60 million to $64 million," concluded Kunz.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: "assume," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "guidance," "intend," "many," "positioned," "potential," "project," "think," "should," "target," "will," "would" and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding our acquisition of Martin Door Holdings, Inc. ("Martin"); our national footprint and depth of product offering providing a strong basis for profitable growth; our share-repurchase program; and our net sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

• the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "COVID-19 pandemic" or "Pandemic") and related measures taken by governmental or regulatory authorities to combat the Pandemic, including the impact of the Pandemic and these measures on the economies and demand for our products in the states where we sell them, and on our customers, suppliers, labor force, business, operations and financial performance;
• unpredictable weather and macroeconomic factors that may negatively impact the repair and remodel and new construction markets and the construction industry generally, especially in the state of Florida and the western United States, where the substantial portion of our sales are currently generated, and in the U.S. generally;
• changes in raw material prices, especially for aluminum, glass and vinyl, including, price increases due to the implementation of tariffs and other trade-related restrictions, Pandemic-related supply chain interruptions, or interruptions from the conflict in Ukraine;
• our dependence on a limited number of suppliers for certain of our key materials;
• our dependence on our impact-resistant product lines, which increased with the acquisition of Eco Enterprises, LLC ("Eco"), and contemporary indoor/outdoor window and door systems, and on consumer preferences for those types and styles of products;
• the effects of increased expenses or unanticipated liabilities incurred as a result of, or due to activities related to, our recent acquisitions, including our acquisitions of Martin and Anlin Windows & Doors ("Anlin");
• our level of indebtedness, which increased in connection with our recent acquisitions, including our acquisitions of Martin and Anlin;
• increases in credit losses from obligations owed to us by our customers in the event of a downturn in the home repair and remodel or new home construction channels in our core markets and our inability to collect such obligations from such customers;
• the risks that the anticipated cost savings, synergies, revenue enhancement strategies and other benefits expected from our acquisitions of Martin and Anlin may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected or that our actual integration costs may exceed our estimates;
• increases in transportation costs, including increases in fuel prices;
• our dependence on our limited number of geographically concentrated manufacturing facilities, which increased further due to our acquisition of Eco;
• sales fluctuations to and changes in our relationships with key customers;
• federal, state and local laws and regulations, including unfavorable changes in local building codes and environmental and energy code regulations;
• risks associated with our information technology systems, including cybersecurity-related risks, such as unauthorized intrusions into our systems by "hackers" and theft of data and information from our systems, and the risks that our information technology systems do not function as intended or experience temporary or long-term failures to perform as intended;
• product liability and warranty claims brought against us;
• in addition to our acquisitions of Martin and Anlin, our ability to successfully integrate businesses we may acquire in the future, or that any business we acquire may not perform as we expected when we acquired it; and
• the other risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended January 1, 2022, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the financial schedules include financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, and Adjusted EBITDA provides investors and analysts with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors and analysts to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance compared to past performance. However, these measures do not provide a complete picture of our operations. Management also believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a better baseline for assessing our future earnings potential. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release are provided to give investors access to types of measures that we use in analyzing our results, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. Adjusted net income per share consists of GAAP net income per share adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and analysts about the Company's performance because they eliminate the effects of period-to-period changes in taxes, costs associated with capital investments and interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash the Company must use to service its debt or pay its income taxes and thus does not reflect the actual funds generated from operations or available for capital investments.

Our calculations of Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share, and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to calculations performed by other companies and reported as similarly titled measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP measures. Schedules that reconcile Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income are included in the financial schedules accompanying this release.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable expected GAAP results due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of the effects of legal matters, tax considerations, and income and expense from changes in fair value of contingent consideration from acquisitions. Expenses associated with legal matters, tax consequences, and income and expense from changes in fair value of contingent consideration from acquisitions have in the past, and may in the future, significantly affect GAAP results in a particular period.
