HOUSTON, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NCI Building Systems, Inc. (NYSE: NCS) today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2015.

Second Quarter 2015 Financial and Operational Highlights:

Sales rose 18% to $360.1 million, compared to last year's second quarter, primarily driven by the recent acquisition of CENTRIA
Gross profit margin expanded 160 basis points year-over-year to 21.1%
Net loss per diluted common share was $(0.10) and adjusted net loss per diluted common share was $(0.06)
Excluding an estimated $2.6 million Adjusted EBITDA contribution from CENTRIA, Adjusted EBITDA rose 110% compared to last year's second quarter
Buildings backlog grew 18% year-over-year and consolidated backlog increased 51% to $504 million, which includes CENTRIA's backlog of $117 million
Buildings Group bookings grew 18% year-over-year

Norman C. Chambers, Chairman, President and Chief Executive, commented, "We continue to deliver solid results and our second quarter financial performance marks the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement in gross profit margin and Adjusted EBITDA. We are entering the second half of our fiscal year with a seven-year high backlog and double digit year-over-year bookings growth. We believe we are well positioned to leverage our streamlined operational structure during our seasonally stronger second half and realize meaningful growth in revenue and earnings."

Second Quarter 2015 Results

Second quarter sales increased 18% to $360.1 million from $305.8 million in last year's second quarter, driven principally by the full quarter's contribution of the CENTRIA business as well as commercial discipline and higher volumes in our legacy single skin and insulated metal panel businesses. The Company estimates the impact of inclement weather was approximately $11 million in revenue for the quarter, largely due to delayed shipments because of poor worksite conditions.

Gross profit increased 27% to $75.9 million from $59.6 million in the second quarter of 2014, and gross profit margin expanded 160 basis points to 21.1%, compared to 19.5% in the prior year's period. Contributing to the higher margins were continued commercial discipline in both the Components and Buildings groups, higher margin product mix, and improved manufacturing and supply chain efficiencies.

Adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP measure defined in the accompanying financial tables, increased to $1.6 million in the current quarter from a loss of $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 due to the expansion in sales and gross profit margin. On a GAAP basis, operating loss was $(3.6) million for the second quarter compared to $(5.5) million in the prior year's quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and cash and other non-cash items, in accordance with the Company's term loan credit agreement was $15.8 million, up 151% from $6.3 million in the prior year's period. The Company estimates the impact of inclement weather in the quarter was between $3 million and $4 million in EBITDA. Please see the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) in the accompanying financial tables.

Interest expense increased to $8.3 million in the second quarter compared to $3.1 million in last year's second quarter as a result of the recently issued $250 million, 8.25% senior notes, used to finance the CENTRIA acquisition.

The Company reported a net loss of $7.5 million, or $(0.10) per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2015, which was impacted by several unusual after-tax charges including: $0.6 million of acquisition related costs; $1.5 million of restructuring charges associated with the realignment of the management structure and closure of our Caryville, Tennessee manufacturing facility; and $3.1 million of accounting fair value adjustments related to the acquisition of CENTRIA. Excluding the impact of these special items, the Company reported an adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measure, of $4.3 million, or $(0.06) per diluted common share compared to an adjusted net loss of $5.3 million, or $(0.07) per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2014.

Cash and cash equivalents ended at $25.3 million compared to $12.5 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2014. The Company paid down $21 million of principal on its term loan in the quarter. In addition, the Company's $150.0 million ABL facility remained undrawn as of May 3, 2015.

Fiscal Second Quarter 2015 Segment Performance

Third party sales in the Coatings group were $22.8 million, an 11% decline from $25.5 million in last year's second quarter. Total sales, including intercompany activity, decreased $4.3 million, or 8%, to $50.0 million from $54.3 million when compared to the same quarter in 2014. Operating income declined to $2.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $3.9 million reported in the same period last year. The volume decline and the resulting lower manufacturing leverage negatively impacted margins. The Coatings segment continues to diversify its customer base while improving its operating efficiencies in order to drive improved profitability.

The Components group generated $198.7 million in third-party sales during the quarter, an increase of 46% from $135.7 million in the second quarter of 2014. Total sales, including intercompany sales, increased $66.0 million, or 43%, to $221.1 million from $155.1 million in the prior year's quarter. Operating income increased 52% to $6.9 million compared to $4.6 million in the same quarter in 2014. A combination of increased legacy single skin and insulated metal panel (IMP) sales improved operating leverage for the division. During the quarter, CENTRIA contributed $53.4 million in sales, an operating loss of $(3.1) million and $2.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting its first full quarter of results. CENTRIA's operating loss includes $3.3 million of acquisition related special charges.

Third party sales in the Buildings group declined 4% to $138.7 million in the second quarter from $144.6 million in the prior year's quarter, primarily due to weather induced lower volumes. Total sales, including intercompany activity, were $143.2 million, or a decrease of 4%, from $149.4 million in the same period in 2014. Operating income increased significantly to $2.9 million in the current quarter when compared to near break even in the second quarter of 2014. The Buildings group continues to benefit from strong margins led by improved project mix and commercial discipline, combined with lean manufacturing improvements.

Market Commentary

Leading indicators for nonresidential construction activity continue to indicate positive momentum into the second half of fiscal year 2015, despite uneven industry statistics during the seasonally weaker winter season. Industrial vacancies continue to decline and according to Jones Lang LaSalle research, the current industrial vacancy rate of 6.8% marks a 10-year low. Net absorption outpaced completed projects, indicating tenant demand is likely to support new construction starts.

The American Institute of Architects' (AIA) Architecture Mixed Use Index increased from 47.2 in February to 51.8 in April 2015. The Architectural Billings Index expanded in March by 1.3 points to 51.7 but softened in April to 48.8. The AIA cited weather in both the Midwest and the Northeast as the main driver behind the April decline. Due to the leading nature of the Architectural Billings Index, the reported index values in the last six months of 2014, which were all above 50, suggest increasing levels of U.S. nonresidential construction spending for the remainder of 2015. Further, the New Projects Inquiry Index increased from 58.2 in March to 60.1 in April, coming in above 60 for the first time since October 2014 and signaling continued positive momentum for near-term architectural billings.

Outlook and Guidance

Mr. Chambers remarked, "Our continued Adjusted EBITDA growth in our second quarter 2015 results from the internal changes we have implemented over the past several quarters, including our acquisition activity. Our streamlined manufacturing and commercial organizations, supply chain management and commercial discipline drove meaningful improvement in our financial results despite the headwinds of declining steel prices and inclement weather. We remain focused on our goals of delivering sustainable margin expansion and increasing levels of profitability as we take advantage of strong revenue growth and operating leverage during the seasonally stronger second half of 2015."

"We are encouraged by the strength of our bookings and backlog as they indicate a potential for nonresidential recovery that is beginning to accelerate and expand beyond the commercial and industrial end markets. We expect the investments we've made in insulated metal panels over the past few years, including the recent acquisition of CENTRIA, will ideally position us to unlock the accelerated growth potential of the underpenetrated North American market. Based upon our current level of bookings and strong backlog, we expect year-over-year revenue growth in the second half of our fiscal year to drive Adjusted EBITDA growth. "

(1)										The Company's Credit Agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash charges for goodwill and other asset impairments and stock compensation as well as certain non-recurring charges. As such, the historical information is presented in accordance with the definition above. Concurrent with the amendment and restatement of the Term Loan facility, the Company entered into an Asset-Based Lending facility which has substantially the same definition of Adjusted EBITDA except that the ABL Facility caps certain non-recurring charges. The Company is disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, because it is used by management and provided to investors to provide comparability of underlying operational results.
