| Statement |
|---|
| We first acquired the initial 75% ownership in Eco in 2021 to accelerate growth, expand margins, and strengthen our supply chain by adding additional glass production capacity |
| I think that's why we really are feeling more positive in the back half of the year that's reflected in our increased Q3 guidance |
| Our dealer base has been able to take advantage of that as they're out selling windows and doors into the homes |
| We serve geographies with strong population growth |
| We were able to deliver strong profitability in the quarter due to our continued focus on productivity and operational execution |
| Our sequential revenue grew 2% driven by increases in unit volume and our adjusted EBITDA increased 5% sequentially |
| PGT Innovations has built a solid foundation to take advantage of these long-term trends and we see a greater benefit than others in our space when the economy stabilizes |
| Actually we have a very successful hedging program |
| We're seeing deflation in some buckets of raw materials, inflation in others, but from a balance perspective, we feel like we're in a great place and we'll be able to kind of maintain that gross margin and expand it as we move forward |
| Our Florida brands have the added benefit of increased hurricane awareness, evolving construction standards and the enactment of the Home Hardening Sales Tax Relief Act on impact products |
| Third, operational improvements in capital investments have increased our capacities and delivered margin expansion |
| Our Southeast brands continue to show resilience in a down market |
| Our strong free cash flow provides options to reinvest in the business and return capital to our shareholders |
| This lock-in effect will positively impact new construction activity as well the dramatic reduction in existing home sales are helping to drive a stable recovery in the new home construction |
| First, we're a national leader with an outstanding portfolio of brands that we have strengthened over the past few years |
| We expect our strong operations execution along with continued cost containment will enable us to continue to deliver strong profits in this uncertain market |
| Kind of changed the demand seasonality some the demand numbers, got a little bit sideways In the second quarter, but the sequential trends are very solid and we continue to see stability and actual growth in this market, which is gives us support for the results that we're putting forth in Q3 |
| We expect sales volumes to increase from the second quarter driven by a recovery in new construction and stability in R&R sales |
| We saw positive momentum in both all our Western segments in June and July |
| This new product continues to provide our leading-edge performance but at much larger sizes |
| Our Martin Garage Doors acquisition, which closed in late 2022 delivered strong sequential growth off a weather-impacted first quarter |
| So we've got some good I would say back half initiatives going on out West that will really drive what we think some good volume |
| We're very pleased with the sales synergies we're starting to at least set up and we think there's benefits will be coming soon in terms of top line growth there |
| What we've seen is a good trend in both Anlin and even Western stabilizing, as we come through the year itself |
| This commitment has allowed us to achieve and maintain strong profitability |
| And the actions we have discussed will drive our company's value higher |
| Maggie, we definitely believe that the demand profile continues to be strong from an R&R perspective |
| So we continue to reap those benefits |
| Our products in impact-resistant and indoor-outdoor living markets continue to gain traction |
| We continue to deliver strong R&R sales growth in PGT and Eco, but this was offset by our other brands |
| Statement |
|---|
| Organic new construction sales were down 17% to the prior year's second quarter reflecting the weakness in new home construction activity |
| Our Southeast year-over-year sales decline in the second quarter was primarily due to continued housing market volatility |
| Gross profit was $154 million in the second quarter and declined 7% when compared to the prior year second quarter |
| Moving on to our guidance on Slide 8, the continued macroeconomic uncertainty will again limit our sales and EBITDA outlook to the next quarter |
| Adjusted EBITDA of $74 million or 19.1% were 6% lower than the prior year second quarter |
| Turning to Slide 6, consolidated net sales were $385 million in the second quarter, down 5% from the prior year second quarter |
| The year-over-year comps southwest were challenging due to cycling a 39% increase over organic sales in the second quarter of 2022, and the segment's bias towards a slower new construction market |
| Our Southeast segment sales contracted 6% from the prior year's second quarter while our Western segment sales were down 12% from the prior year |
| The year-over-year decrease in net sales was caused by an 8% decline from our legacy businesses |
| Western organic sales contracted 12% versus the prior-year quarter |
| New construction, excuse me -- has been weaker, just because of the fall-off in the activity from the second half of 2022 |
| Organic R&R sales were down 1% compared to the second quarter of 2022 |
| So we've really had weather-related issues |
| We did have some wage pressures in the last couple of years |
| The impact of unit volume decline was 13%, partially offset by a price impact of plus 5% primarily from price increases taken in the prior year second quarter |
| In addition, we believe our current trading range does not properly reflect the long-term potential shareholder value for PGT Innovations' shareholders |
| This year-over-year decrease in dollars was driven by reduced fixed cost leverage from lower sales volumes |
| We are exiting these markets to focus our investments to drive growth in other areas of the business during this volatile macro environment |
| But yes, the first part of the -- first half of this year, obviously, the first quarter being impacted by the weather by the rain, California, all the way through really impacts into Arizona with the snow melts and stuff |
| The impact of prior-year pricing actions offsetting material and wage inflation and additional cost containment measures |
