HARVEY, IL. May 3, 2022 (BUSINESS WIRE) - Atkore Inc. (the “Company” or “Atkore”) (NYSE: ATKR) announced earnings for its fiscal 2022 second quarter ended March 25, 2022.

“Atkore continued to build on its momentum in the second quarter, generating a significant increase in sales year-over-year and growing profitability,” said Bill Waltz, Atkore President and Chief Executive Officer. “Both segments contributed to the strong second quarter results, with positive trends across multiple product categories in each segment partially offset by declines in certain steel related product categories in the U.S. Our results in the first half of 2022 reflect our team’s dedication to serving our customers and the resilience of the Atkore Business System, which continues to successfully guide our operations through pricing volatility, labor shortages across the value chain and other macro factors.”

Waltz continued, “We enter the back half of the fiscal year with a stronger base from which to grow and the financial flexibility and expected cash flow generation to continue to deliver on our capital allocation priorities. We are on track to repurchase at least a cumulative total of $400 million in shares in fiscal 2022, while also continuing to prudently execute on our robust M&A pipeline. In addition, we are raising our fiscal year 2022 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to $1.25 to $1.30 billion. We will continue to work diligently and efficiently to capitalize on our existing leadership positions, expand into key growth areas and serve our customers with an unwavering commitment to excellence.”

Exhibit 99.1
Net sales increased by $343.0 million, or 53.6%, to $982.6 million for the three months ended March 25, 2022, compared to $639.5 million for the three months ended March 26, 2021. The increase in net sales is primarily attributed to increased average selling prices across the Company’s products of $338.7 million which were mostly driven by the plastic pipe and conduit product category within the Electrical segment and increased net sales of $14.6 million from companies acquired during fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. These increases are offset by decreased sales volume of $8.5 million across varying product categories within both the Electrical and the Safety & Infrastructure segments. Pricing for PVC products, as well as other parts of the business, is expected to return to more normal historical levels over time, but that time is uncertain.

Gross profit increased by $176.6 million, or 73.6%, to $416.4 million for the three months ended March 25, 2022, as compared to $239.8 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin increased to 42.4% for the three months ended March 25, 2022, as compared to 37.5% for the prior-year period. Gross profit increased primarily due to higher average selling prices of $338.7 million, partially offset by higher input costs of steel, copper and PVC resin of $151.5 million.

Net income increased by $108.5 million, or 86.9%, to $233.5 million for the three months ended March 25, 2022 compared to $124.9 million for the prior-year period primarily due to higher gross profit and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs, and income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $152.8 million, or 79.0%, to $346.2 million for the three months ended March 25, 2022 compared to $193.4 million for the three months ended March 26, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit.

Net income per diluted share prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) was $5.08 for the three months ended March 25, 2022, as compared to $2.58 in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share increased by $2.60 to $5.39 for the three months ended March 25, 2022, as compared to $2.79 in the prior year period. The increase in diluted earnings per share and adjusted net income per share is primarily attributed to higher net income.

Segment Results

Electrical

Net sales increased by $272.4 million, or 55.9%, to $759.9 million for the three months ended March 25, 2022 compared to $487.5 million for the three months ended March 26, 2021. The increase in net sales is primarily attributed to increased average selling prices of $263.4 million which were mostly driven by the plastic pipe and conduit product category and increased net sales of $9.2 million from companies acquired during fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. Pricing for PVC products, as well as other parts of the business, is expected to return to more normal historical levels over time, but that time is uncertain.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 25, 2022 increased by $142.1 million, or 75.3%, to $331.0 million from $188.8 million for the three months ended March 26, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 43.6% for the three months ended March 25, 2022 compared to 38.7% for the three months ended March 26, 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins was largely due to higher average selling prices over input costs.

Safety & Infrastructure

Net sales increased by $71.6 million, or 46.9%, for the three months ended March 25, 2022 to $224.3 million compared to $152.7 million for the three months ended March 26, 2021. The increase is primarily attributed to increased average selling prices of $75.2 million driven by higher input costs of steel and increased net sales of $5.4 million from companies acquired during fiscal 2022 partially offset by lower volumes of $9.0 million primarily in the mechanical pipe product line.

Exhibit 99.1

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $12.7 million, or 78.6%, to $28.9 million for the three months ended March 25, 2022 compared to $16.2 million for the three months ended March 26, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 12.9% for the three months ended March 25, 2022 compared to 10.6% for the three months ended March 26, 2021. The Adjusted EBITDA increase is primarily due to the price increases, partially offset by lower volume, discussed above.

Full-Year Outlook

Based on market trends and Atkore’s continued execution, the Company is increasing its outlook for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per diluted share for fiscal year 2022. The Company continues to expect Net Sales to be up approximately 25 to 30 percent versus fiscal year 2021. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $1,250 million to $1,3000 million, and Adjusted net income per diluted share to be in the range of $19.65 - $20.45.

In light of these trends and the current environment, the Company is also providing its preliminary perspective on fiscal year 2023. The Company estimates fiscal year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $800 million - $900 million. The Company notes that this perspective may vary due to changes in assumptions or market conditions and other factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Reconciliations of the forward-looking full-year 2022 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per diluted share, and preliminary perspective for full-year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA are not being provided as the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliations.

and other legal proceedings; our ability to protect our intellectual property and other material proprietary rights; risks inherent in doing business internationally; changes in foreign laws and legal systems, including as a result of Brexit; our inability to introduce new products effectively or implement our innovation strategies; our inability to continue importing raw materials, component parts and/or finished goods; the incurrence of liabilities and the issuance of additional debt or equity in connection with acquisitions, joint ventures or divestitures and the failure of indemnification provisions in our acquisition agreements to fully protect us from unexpected liabilities; failure to manage acquisitions successfully, including identifying, evaluating, and valuing acquisition targets and integrating acquired companies, businesses or assets; the incurrence of additional expenses, increases in the complexity of our supply chain and potential damage to our reputation with customers resulting from regulations related to “conflict minerals”; disruptions or impediments to the receipt of sufficient raw materials resulting from various anti-terrorism security measures; restrictions contained in our debt agreements; failure to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on, or other amounts due on our debt; challenges attracting and retaining key personnel or high-quality employees; future changes to tax legislation; failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to raise sufficient funds in the capital markets to satisfy existing obligations and support the development of our business; and other risks and factors described from time to time in documents that we file with the SEC. The Company assumes no obligation to update the information contained herein, which speaks only as of the date hereof.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes certain financial information, not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliations below in this press release for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business and in the preparation of our annual operating budgets as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe 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 Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted to exclude unallocated expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, certain legal matters, and other items, such as inventory reserves and adjustments, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, insurance recovery related to damages of property, plant and equipment, release of indemnified uncertain tax positions, realized or unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency impacts of intercompany loans and related forward currency derivatives, gain on purchase of business, restructuring costs and transaction costs. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share

We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company’s results that, when reconciled to the

5

imagea.jpg
Exhibit 99.1
corresponding GAAP measure provide an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and or non-cash items. We define Adjusted net income as net income before stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax. We define Adjusted net income per share as basic and diluted net income per share excluding the per share impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax.

Leverage Ratio - Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA

We define leverage ratio as the ratio of net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) to Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month (“TTM”) basis. We believe the leverage ratio is useful to investors as an alternative liquidity measure.

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides meaningful information regarding the Company’s liquidity.
