Thank you share and good morning, everyone and thank you for Jordan yesterday.
We have a fair amount of material to cover this morning, but as I do each quarter I would like to give an overview of our strategic plan for those of you who are new to the PTC innovation story.
On slide four we list our four strategic pillars that we strive to execute against and we believe will create value for shareholders as well as our customers.
Our first pillar is maintaining our focus on our customers who are at the center of our business and committing to deliver exceptional products and services.
Our second pillar addresses our belief that our long term success requires maintaining the best employee talent, which we will certainly strive to attract and maintain the best Pete.
Hi, third pillar is investing in our business operations to meet expected increases in long term demand in our core markets we serve.
Accomplish this through increased operational efficiencies achieved with automation and continuous improvement across our manufacturing facilities.
In our fourth pillar is strategic allocation of capital generated from our strong free cash flow.
We're very excited to recently completed the purchase of yourself window solutions yourself.
Direct to consumer channel is complimentary to our existing dealer network and we believe will help us continue to grow our customer walking across our portfolio brands.
We continue with this our capital market priorities, which may include reinvesting in the business, making acquisitions or paying down debt.
Oh with a goal of driving long term shareholder value.
Next please turn to slide five Oh, good luck to review, our recently completed acquisition that new shelf window solutions, which we expect to deliver several strategic benefits.
First yourself expands our geographic footprint, where the street retail showrooms throughout Florida, and one in Charleston, South Carolina.
Additionally, we have plans to expand yourself store locations in coastal areas outside of Florida, such as Houston, and you Orleans as part of our overall diversification strategy.
Expansion of retail stores should require minimal capital investment consisting primarily of at least retail showrooms.
Our new for himself manufacturing facility has capacity to scale production to support expansion into markets adjacent Florida.
Going forward with yourself as part of the PGT innovations, we expect realized input cost synergies through combined procurement.
And in the future our operational expertise should help yourself improve its manufacturing efficiencies.
You sell enables us to enter the direct to consumer distribution channel with a proven model to target home at a lower price point than our traditional customers.
About marketing directly to the consumer yourself generate sales that we believe our incremental chart our existing dealer network.
With sales primarily targeted towards the placement projects that are smaller than what our typical dealer services.
And now turning to the results for the quarter on slide six.
We reported revenue in the fourth quarter 2019 at the top end of our revised guidance driven by performance in the legacy repair and remodeling business, which gain positive momentum in December that has carried forward into 2020.
In the fourth quarter 2019, our legacy business pipeline grew 8% compared to the prior year quarter.
Which is a notable leading indicator of future growth.
Our corporate silver business grew 4% in the fourth quarter of 2000, not cheap compared to the prior year quarter. Despite an expected decline in new construction.
Our western business unit sales increased 8% compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting continued expansion in core and emerging markets.
In the California market, we saw recovery from the headwinds faced in most of 2019 with housing permits for the fourth quarter, increasing nearly 5% sequentially from Q3.
And 19% from the prior year quarter.
Continuing the trend we discussed last quarter, we saw product mix in custom products, primarily driven by sales increases in Arizona and Texas reasons.
We have placed a strong focused on driving western window production build ourselves back to growth.
In the fourth quarter, we saw a 2.3% increase in sales compared to the prior year quarter.
Which we believe indicates an improving trend after seeing sales declined 12% through the first nine months of 2019.
We believe we're seeing strong momentum building on production borough growth going into 2020.
And finally, the fourth quarter of 2019, adjusted EBITDA margins of 13.6% decline from prior year quarter, primarily driven by lower sales and an unfavorable product mix across the portfolio as compared to 2018.
Now please turn to slide seven and looking forward into 2020.
I'll share some thoughts forward and macroeconomic outlook and the assumptions behind our new guidance with Sherry will discuss in more detail.
And our legacy repair and remodeling business I want to emphasize that we are focused on delivering year over year grow by implementing a number of key strategic initiatives.
We saw 8% growth in our new order pipeline exiting 2019.
In this momentum is continuing so far this quarter.
Based upon the strings in orders, we've seen year to date for the full year 2020, we were expecting market volume growth of up to 3% in the Florida repair and remodeling market and we expect to realize above market growth as a result of ourselves initiatives.
We were estimating a 3% to 5% market growth in our sales into the new construction channel during 2020 based upon our addressable market price points.
If the market grows faster than our estimates we will have the capacity to grow with a market while maintaining attractive lead times.
In addition, our legacy business continues to benefit from exclusive agreement signed with large builders and the overall increase in builder activity. We've seen in January and February of 2020.
We expect to generate both above market growth through key sales initiatives and continued focus on driving corporate build or adoption.
Within large projects, which we define as a single job in excess of 500000 product we have seen signs of strength in commercial and multifamily projects and have added product development resources to accelerate growth in this area.
We're currently evaluating opportunities to grow in this segment in lot of our recent acquisition. In addition to our current PGTI legacy brands.
We were optimistic that we will see an uptick in large project volumes in the second half of 2020 based upon the pipeline of large projects in the marketplace.
Additionally, we are excited about our plans to expand our repair and remodeling sales in the western business unit, the opening a new division call Sky walls.
With showrooms, featuring our moving glass wall product lines.
Since launching earlier this year, we've added 14, new dealers dedicated to selling skywalk products, primarily in the Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas markets, where western has strong brand recognition.
Additionally, skywalk, we'll be opening its first factory direct store in Los Angeles, and the second quarter of 2020.
Before turning the call over to Sherri I would like to take a moment to remind you of our overarching strategy to become a national you're going to premium window and door markets.
With the acquisition of Western window systems, a little over a year ago, we expanded our product lines as well as extended our footprint to include growing markets in destination States, including Texas, Arizona, Nevada and California.
Well, Florida remains our key market, we continue to pursue profitable growth in our western region as well as along the non Florida portion of the East coast in Gulf Coast.
Now with the addition of new sale, we were able to add direct to consumer distribution channel both within the state of Florida, and along the southern coastal states with near future showing opening.
While hurricane activity has certainly been a driver of demand we expect execute on a strategy to drive long term organic growth and expand our base through incremental channels within and outside of our existing footprint.
By utilizing new sales proven model for marketing and lead generation.
And supported this objective we are further developing our internal creative team to drive awareness through a mix of traditional advertising as well as digital channels.
To summarize we expect to achieve our growth forecast in 2020 based upon the ordering trends we've seen year to date.
Positive macroeconomic factors in our core markets.
And our selling initiatives that we believe will further expand our dealer base in product offerings.
We expect to execute a strategy of geographic.
Product and sales channel diversification.
We're also leveraging marketing experience technology in tools acquired from new South to build a presence in the direct to consumer space and improve our lead generation capabilities across all our brands and channels.
And with that I would like to turn the call over to share it takes over the quarter in more detail shares.
Thank you, Jeff now turning to slide eight to get more detail on our results.
For the quarter, we reported net sales of $175 million, reflecting an 11% decline in our legacy business compared to the prior year quarter, and as Jeff mentioned earlier better than our expectation and our western business unit sales increased 8% compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting continued to expand.
And in western score and emerging market.
Gross profit for the quarter was $56 million, a decrease of 9.6 million compared to the prior year quarter.
Gross margin was 32.1% of sales a 250 basis point decrease from the prior year quarter did decrease is primarily driven by an unfavorable product mix in both our legacy business at western Windows in 2019 as compared to 2018.
Early indications in 2020 show a positive trend of moving towards a more normalized mix across both business units.
Selling general and administrative expenses decreased $2 million compared to the prior year quarter to 44 million, primarily driven by lower incentive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was 23.8 million or a margin of 13.6% of sales compared to adjusted EBITDA for the prior year quarter of 31.5 million or 16.6% of fail, but declining EBITDA margin was primarily due to unfavorable product mix and higher.
Boy benefit costs.
Our effective tax rate for the quarter came in at 26.3% inline with our estimate.
We reported GAAP net income for the quarter of 3.3 million worth six tons per diluted share compared to 10.5 million or 18 cents per diluted share in the fourth quarter 2018.
Turning now to slide nine we achieved full year 2019 sales of 745 million, including a sales contribution of 138 million from Western Linda systems.
Gross margin for 2019 grew slightly to 35% primarily as a result of gross margin accretion from Western Linda systems.
Adjusted EBITDA for the year was 128 million or 17.2% of sale.
Adjusted earnings per share for 2019, with 82 cents compared to $1.18 in the prior year weighted average diluted shares increased by 9.3% primarily as a result at this seven nine additional shares we issued in September 2018.
Additionally, long not included in PGT innovations results.
He sells posted a strong year in 2019 and achieved its forecasted sales range of 82 million to 85 million that we shared in our December announcement of the acquisition.
Turning now to slide 10, let's review our balance sheet highlights.
We ended the quarter with net debt of 282 million down slightly from 297 nine in the previous quarter.
As of yearend on an all cash netted basis, we maintained a net debt to trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 2.2 times after the fourth quarter, we issued $59 a senior notes.
I will note to the $315 million.
<unk> principal amount of the company's senior notes due 2026, which were issued in August.
2080.
We historically has a proven track record reducing leverage after completion of an acquisition and this will continue to be a priority for us in 2020.
On Slide 11, let's review our capital allocation priorities. The first priority for capital allocation internal investment in projects expected to drive growth and generate future shareholder value.
Our second priority as our commitment to debt reduction and maintaining a strong balance sheet.
We expect to maintain a conservative leverage profile with a range of two times to three times net debt to EBITDA.
Our third priority for capital is strategic acquisitions, such as these out but give us a platform for expanding into new geographies and markets or other building products or channels that would expand our footprint and that we expect to generate strong margins given the recent completion of the new South acquisition on February Onest.
We expect that our primary focus for the short term will be the successful integration of the company and come clean ongoing integration of western window systems.
Finally, our fourth capital allocation priority as the opportunistic repurchase of shares. However, no stock repurchases were made during the fourth quarter and we plan to remain committed to debt reduction ahead of share repurchases.
Using the macro assumptions that Jeff reviewed as well so accordingly assumptions shown on slide 12, we are providing the following guidance for 2020.
For the full year 2020, PGT now expects to finish in the following ranges.
Sales of 850 million to 880 million adjusted EBITDA of 145 million to 155 million and adjusted net income per diluted share of 86 cents to 99 cents.
Additionally, I want to point out that our 2020 fiscal year contains a 50 threerd week that falls in the first quarter, which will have a modest benefit to sales for the year.
Also please note that guidance.
<unk> initial estimates for new South.
Opening balance sheet items, including intangibles are still in process and we will update guidance if necessary on a feature earnings call.
We estimate that total incentive compensation was $6 million lower in 2019 than what we are modeling for 2020 Stuart to are lower than planned performance. In 2019. Additionally, we are expecting to invest an additional $4 million an advertising expense in 2020 as compared to 29 team was 2 million.
On plan for the first quarter to continue to drive brand awareness in support of the robot selling initiatives, Jeff discussed earlier.
We have included a number of modeling assumptions embedded in our 2020 guidance estimates on the slide for your reference and now I would like to turn call back over to Jeff for some closing thoughts Jeff.
Thanks, Sherri before moving to Q today, I will conclude with PGT innovations investment thesis on slide 13.
First we are a national leader with strong brands and the growing categories in which we compete.
Second we are product innovators, we intend to maintain our advantage as leaders in our industry by investing in R&D acquiring brands and hiring and retaining the best talent.
Third we plan to continue our ongoing focus on improving operational efficiencies that will drive margin expansion over the long term.
Fourth we are striving to execute on a strategy that we believe will create long term value for our customers and shareholders.
Finally, we believe our product portfolio positions us to capture a profitable growth in both new construction and repair and remodeling channels.
2019 proved to be a challenging year, especially given our 27% organic growth achieved in 2018.
We experienced headwinds in our repair and remodeling market as well as a decrease in new home starts in our second largest market.
California.
However, achieving total sales of 745 million and adjusted EBITDA of 128 million in absolute terms was our biggest year ever.
That would not be possible without our 3000, plus dedicated PGT innovation team members delivering exceptional service, putting our customers first and driving shareholder value.
At this time I would like to turn the call over at the conference call operator to begin the Q and a portion operator.
Thank you.
We will now begin the question and answer session.
To ask a question you May press Star then one on your Touchtone phone. If you are using speakerphone. Please pick up your handset before pressing the keys.
To withdraw your question. Please press Star then queue at this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster.
And we will take our first question from so not with Jefferies.
Hey, guys. Your outlook for gross you noted some more upbeat since last quarter, what's changed in that timeframe any markets at standout and can you help us think of the shape of the year Mcgruff standpoint.
Yes, I think.
The biggest changes in our in our legacy growth that we experienced in the fourth quarter as we ended.
The year, and then that trend continuing into January and thus far into February.
It definitely is is better than it was and it gave us.
More inside into the potential of the Florida markets I think another significant trend that we've seen.
And as we closed the year and has tip. The same trend into January and February was western their sales continue to grow actually in the more of the volume program, which is the better mix.
I have western has outpaced.
It was.
In 2019 to combine those two.
To be honest, we new home construction starts in the state of Florida.
Our corporate broader program is delivered so far this year impressive growth. So I think you combine those.
That's where you see the optimism so far in early 2020 here.
Got it any color how to think about the shape of the year I think Jeff you mentioned the back half might be little stronger, but we inflect positively and once you.
Yeah, I mean, I think we're going to have a solid first quarter I think we've made noticeable improvements in mix in both the western business unit and the peak the southeastern business unit.
Kind of the legacy Brad if you will.
Versus the sequential quarter and from an operational standpoint, we've made some changes at the western business unit that are starting to show positive sign. So I think sequentially you will see.
An improvement for the year again were positive. This at this point 2020 started off strong falls, sorry, I think what she could you could look at as maybe use 2018 as a base. So I would call that you're more normal seasonalization I would expect the or two to follow something closer to that and then as as John.
Articulated we are still continuing to execute some operational initiatives.
Western blot are continuing to ramp up throughout the years I think it's the combination of the too, but we would expect to more normalized cadence across the quarters.
Got you assume just on that Sherry.
Got it I think on our math implies fairly flattish EBIT margins.
Your organic growth is actually improving what's driving a more flattish margin environment is it jumped investments you just talked about or maybe from a mix standpoint, you south might be a lower margin business.
Yeah, it's actually a combination of all of those so at the at the end of our prepared remarks, we highlighted a few things we do have a year over year incentive compensation increase.
Between a $6 million actually seven monthly includes the cash payouts are related to move bounce that was part of the agreements.
It's actually I'm on the but none of the presentation as well. So we have that we have an incremental $4 million of the marketing investments that we will be making versus what we saw in 2019, we spent actually very little in the first half of 2019 or so you'll see to about 4 million acts.
Really hit within the first half a year and then exactly what you thought about that last either continued product mix and then some amount of mid Ralph on new South does have some margin dilution and they also have incremental investments one we're opening new stores of which we are planning to do to this.
Sure. So it it's a combination of all of those in total but the legacy business itself is expecting to show a EBITDA margin improvement with just those other off that.
Got it that's really helpful color just one last one for me, Jeff you talked about your strategy diversifying maybe legacy business outside of your key market, Florida can you give us an update on the progress you've made on branching out western into.
Some of the partner.
Markets outside of.
The last and then how does this new south acquisition kind of fit into that strategy and perhaps accelerate that process.
Yes, great question in terms of.
Progress we've made as I mentioned in the remarks, we're actually going to open up our first retail store format for western.
In Q2, so Scott walls is the brand we're going direct with.
And our market there and we have set up 14 dealers since introducing discs skywalk portfolio. So we're starting to make some good headwinds.
We're also in negotiations with a couple of the bigger.
Suppliers, if you will.
[music].
Bullish suppliers out west that doesn't carry the the western product as well, which would target darner market.
Our new South again, thats going to be store dependent if you will they just opened to Pensacola store and the next store is going to be in Houston, Texas follow very quickly with New Orleans. So if you think.
In terms of expanding there.
We're very excited in terms of the margin drag I was it will just add a little bit.
It will be new south will be dilutive, but overtime, we don't expect that to be the cases, we again implement synergy savings from both side as well as operational.
Execution.
What weve proven it PGT in terms of our operating performance at the our plant we're going to employ that it yourself and I think over time again 12 months out youre going to see that dilution go away and actually be positive. So.
The expansion plans for new South our aggressive we will be going into other regions over the over the coming years outside the state of Florida up the East coast.
And we just excited that overall about the opportunity there.
Okay. Thanks I appreciate it.
You bet.
We will take our next question from Michael Rehaut with JP Morgan.
Hi, This is actually on for Mike first I wanted to follow up on the last question about south.
Margins.
We're going to be dilutive.
Thanks.
12 month I was wondering if you pay a little bit more specific on how the south.
Gross margin and actually maybe profiles compared to maybe the legacy business.
Yes, I'll I'll be happy to take back. So I think you would consider both of them higher than the legacy business, though because they are vertically integrated.
They have a slightly higher gross margin, but they also on the flip side because they do have the retail side. They also have a higher SDN as a percent of fails clearly that that there's not currently include the synergies that Jack just talked about so that would be pre synergies, which we expect those to be.
Merrily cost and most likely primarily showing up within gross margin within Cogs. So I would think about it that way and then the last piece I would highlight is there and you also have to keep in mind that there is a ramp up period when they're opening during these stores. So once they are new stores head I'd say there their normal run rate Africa.
Call. It 12 to 24 months their retail margins are actually very similar to our historical PGT margin. So those would be I think the three things, but I would call out for you.
Okay.
Thank you and then.
Yes.
Last quarter, you talked about.
Promotional efforts in investments that you've begun making in threeq.
There would be for more interested in Fourq you, but you are really expecting the benefits to start to flow through them. Once you saw this I was wondering if you could kind of give an update there how that impacts is tracking as you expected or maybe a little bit better now that that market is kind of improve.
Yeah, I actually that great question, So I think it at it impacted us in both Q4 and what we're seeing in Q1, so I think that those marketing investments that we maintained their promotional investments we made our partially why we performed better than what we initially expected for our Q4 protect.
In our legacy business. So we're pleased to see that we're also pleased to see that that pipeline is growing and we're seeing my continue in Q1. So I think that we're seeing positive benefit for that we also plan to continue to invest out within the marketing space to continue that that's been or deeper in trajectory and jobs.
<unk> quite a bit of time talking about a lot of the selling initiatives that we haven't quite clearly those are requiring some amount of marketing investment that we're very pleased with at least the let them to pay back that we've been thing apart, yes, I would just add on the marketing spend we we mentioned we're going to make an investment this year.
Obviously, that's a controlled investment so we are.
Regarding our businesses here in Florida, and as Hurricane driven so for instance, if we get a hurricane we're more likely to spend some of those dollars to again, one targeted audiences other benefits while product et cetera.
So the marketing investments are going to be.
T both to drive our current dealer network.
Again, expanding our lead generation tool for our dealer base with the PGC legacy brands, turning up turning those leads into actual sales and tracking that for our dealers.
All the way through promotions to local areas to again, if a hurricane happens to hit our get close just advising the public as the benefits fall product.
Got it and if I can just squeeze one more and.
Are there any plan.
So the legacy products.
The new retail showrooms.
The kind of leads that new sop infrastructure for legacy products.
No not really not at all that's a separate brand.
We're going to just keep direct.
The PGT legacy brands in terms of benefit will only benefit more from a lead generation tool that we're developing for them that again was similar to what new south implemented and more robust TV advertising for our dealer networks, but that will be our PGT legacy brands are going to be our dealer based brands and we'll go through those.
[noise] channels, and then we'll use the new south.
Brand not only to continue here in Florida that they've done, but but more importantly to diversify outside the state of do all the way to Texas, Houston incredible market and trying to penetrate.
And we are that's an example of what we're very excited on so we'll use that new south brand to too.
Cool outside the state of the East coast and all of the Texas.
Thank you.
We'll take our next question from Keith Hughes with Suntrust.
Thank you prepared remarks, western was up 8% or so much revenue in the fourth quarter what are the EBIT look like at western.
For us.
I think the EBIT I'd say, we're was similar to what you saw in Q3, primarily because they were still running a higher custom mix or they be a improvements and their production build are really started happening at the tail end so call at December really coming.
More into January so they would be at close to similar margin and they did have some offsets within a higher scrap right, but was offset with a lower s. DNA. So the improvements not there they're making that are currently in process on both labor and materials.
Uh Huh somewhat improved in Q1, and we expect those to continue to improve our throughout Q2, yeah, Keith in Turkey, especially I expect the labor because that's when we have seen the most were basically making more products than we did with about 2025 less people. So that process is ever going and we're continuing to drive.
You should see their materials is going to be take a little longer again because of new products and how they are made and track, but we've implemented.
Okay actually currently implementing a different initiatives around the materials as well.
The mix the mix is in the reported quarter.
I said that was enterprise wide was that literally just trade down or is there any discounting in the market, which was the with the make up about.
Yes, there one that's been any trade down no no. It was it will be it where they are in our new construction makes that we were expecting about both down year over year not dissimilar to what we had been saying and what we were expecting so no trade down on that it was a very similar.
Our mix and exactly the same thing for for Western similar higher custom mix, then underproduction builder, although again production build or did improve in the fourth quarter at about 2% to 2.3% at the very end.
Printed vectoring is continuing into 2020.
And that production builder portion is a higher margin. So it's actually we expect that miss mix to change in the first score.
Okay sure production building Boulder is a higher margin.
Custom business.
Yes, the volume programs for Western is higher.
Okay. Okay.
Yes, Okay I get budget.
You bet.
<unk>.
We will take our next question from Joshua Wilson with Raymond James.
Good morning, Jeff Im sure. Thanks for taking my questions congratulations on the quarter.
Thanks, Josh Thank you.
Could you specifically quantify the dollars, you're assuming for yourself windows and sales and EBITDA in the guidance.
Yes.
We are still obviously, we just closed new South January 1st So we put in and guidance in terms of sales that we thought was consistent with what would show before and that the plan. The model that we based acquisition also so we're still in the early processes of categorizing if you will the expenses between.
Gross margin and SGN a.
And various other initiatives finalizing the purchase accounting, which will affect amortization. So there's there's a lot still going on there. So what we basically used in the model. If you will or our guidance is what we saw in the acquisition model, which again was the ranges that sherri's discussed and the margins are.
The thing that's for 14 something percent and again, but best pre synergy just keep in mind.
Got it and I believe when you initially announced that you. So 2 million in synergies is that still the expectation and at what point do you get that run rate.
Yes, it is and we should hit that run run rate in the back half of 2020.
Got it.
And then in terms of study.
Good.
In the back half of 2020 out in <unk>.
Okay.
And then in terms of the SGN a investments that you talked about is.
Most of that going into the southeast segment or some of the marketing spend going to western.
Oh, the incremental marketing is as going into the the legacy business, primarily there is a flight step up in marketing, particularly in support of Skywalk, which is the new our in our division that that Jeff talked about earlier or the incentive compensation that across both business units.
Okay and the.
Last one for me could you quantify what your backlog was what we have the fourth quarter.
Yes, It was 67 million in total across all it PGTI, including Watson.
Got it thanks.
You bet.
And we will take our next question from Alex Micro with B. Riley FBR.
Thank you most of my questions have been answered, but too short a quick ones any guidance for interest expense for 2020 and.
Capex guidance for 2020, thank you.
Yeah, Capex, a we expect to be at 4% of sales, which as I pray consistent with what we have typically done or and interest expense. We are expecting 29 million and you can offer I noticed on pace trial the of the presentation along with any of the rest of our modeling assumptions.
<unk>.
This concludes our question and answer session I would like to turn the conference back over to Sherry Baker for any closing remarks.
Yes, Thank you for joining us on the call today and as always we appreciate your continued interest in beauty to innovation and hope you all have a great rest of your day, thanks very much.
