Fiscal 2022 played out largely as we communicated in February with profit improvement occurring in the back half of the year due to multiple actions. We took over the course of the year to improve pricing and operations. We closed out fiscal 2022 with a record $2 $8 billion in revenue.
And 676 million and adjusted EBITDA up, 40% and 19% respectively. Our adjusted EBITDA margin was 24, 4% coming in at the high end of our guidance range.
This fiscal year, we successfully managed through a number of challenges, including significant inflationary cost pressures labor shortages in two ways two waves of COVID-19. Despite material shortages early in the year and persistent labor challenges, we were able to increase production and improve inventory levels to better service.
Customers, all while improving the safety within our facilities by double digit.
<unk>.
We employed $149 million in Capex, primarily to drive organic growth more than any year in the history of the company. We also executed $292 million of share buybacks and acquired jet polymers, a recycling company in the southeastern United States.
I am very proud of the performance of the entire operations team to help the company exceed our guidance ranges in this market environment.
Domestic revenue increased across all end markets driven by favorable pricing as well as double digit volume growth in the construction markets. As we continued our consistent track record of converting the market to a more environmentally friendly materials.
Sales increased 45% and our priority states with notable growth in Florida, Texas and California.
In addition, the 8% growth in the agriculture market displayed on slide four would have been even higher if we had had more available labor drawn all of our production lines and available material in the spring season.
In summary, the sales team did a great job of executing our plan to meet the favorable demand we continue to see in the market.
We finished out the year strong with a record $678 million in fourth quarter revenue of 53% increase compared to last year.
Sales growth was driven by both favorable pricing as well as construction market volume growth at Aes and infiltrator agriculture volumes were down driven by the cool wet start to spring in the Midwest.
Infiltrator sales increased 43%, primarily due to favorable pricing with strong growth in the southeast and southern regions of the United States.
With physical 2022 investments of Infiltrator continued to give us more capacity to work down the backlog and order rates within that business remained favorable housing growth in the south Midwest and in rural areas remains strong where we have a better penetration of onsite septic products.
Additionally, international sales increased 16% this quarter driven by growth in Mexico, and the export businesses, we continue to leverage our Mexican and Canadian capacity drove serviced a strong domestic market demand and reduce our backlog.
We have been working closely with our distribution partners to monitor market demand and we collectively remain bullish on activity through calendar 2023, we continue to work programs with homebuilders and are encouraged by continued strength in land development. Our backlog is up double digit over this time last year and we continue to work.
Work to reduce our backlog from peak levels through go.
Through the recent capacity additions improving service levels overall pace of orders and project strength remained favorable as well as our ability to capture price in the market, which gives us gives us confidence in the physical 2023 sales targets we issued today.
April financial results were strong on a tough comparison to last year, which sets us up well for this year.
In line with the guidance ranges, we communicated today.
To that end, we continue to invest in expanding our capabilities with investments in production capacity coming online at both ABS and nipple trader in fiscal 2023, we plan to spend another $150 million to $180 million on Capex. This year.
These investments will allow us to continue working down the high levels of backlog build back inventory and service. The strong demand we continue to see in our end markets, particularly in key growth regions like the southeastern United States.
From a profitability perspective, our adjusted EBITDA increased 78% this quarter, we realized the full benefit from price increases implemented through the first half of fiscal 2022, covering inflationary cost pressure on materials transportation and labor, we continue to face challenge.
It was around labor shortages and available elevated transportation costs, which we expect to continue now.
Now I want to highlight some other recent announcements earlier in May we announced the acquisition of Coltec, Inc. Coltec designs and sells plastic storm water and onsite septic chambers with a strong presence in the eastern United States. There are products expand aes's portfolio of Allied product solutions.
Enabling us to meet the growing and evolving needs of our customers Coltec is well respected within the industry and we're excited to welcome the caltex team to Aes.
Finally in a press release issued earlier this morning, we announced Aes as board Chair, Bob Kidder intends to retire at the end of his term. This July and we will not seek reelection Bob has provided tremendous leadership and in part a timely advice throughout Ads's journey as a public company his board.
Knowledge and management experience are unmatched and I'm personally very grateful for his guidance and partnership since I joined <unk> in 2017.
It is <unk> good fortune to have had Bob Kidder serve as board chair over the last five years and I wish him success in his future endeavors.
Our board has elected Bob ever saw currently serving as chair of the audit Committee to serve as board chair starting in July Bob has been on the board since 2008 and brings a very strong background in finance and business management.
I am excited to work I am excited to work with Bob in his new role going forward with that I will turn the call over to Scott Cottrill to further discuss our financial results.
Thanks, Scott on slide five we present, our fourth quarter financial performance.
I'm, a topline perspective, we generated 53% growth year over year, driven by favorable pricing at both Acs and infiltrator as well as strong volume growth in the domestic construction markets legacy <unk> pipe products grew 61% Allied product sales grew 49% and infiltrator sales increased 43.
Percent with double digit sales growth in both tanks and Leach field products, we continued to demonstrate our pricing power with significant year to date price increases across each of our segments. In addition, our pipe segment experienced double digit volume growth in the construction markets this quarter.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased an impressive 78% to $169 million, resulting in 350 basis points of margin expansion to 24, 8% in the quarter.
With our guidance year over year margin expansion began in the fourth quarter and we expect to carry this momentum forward as we progress throughout fiscal 2023, the fiscal 2023 guidance issued today shows an 18% to 21% increase in adjusted EBITDA dollars as well as over 100 basis points of March.
<unk> expansion year over year.
Moving to slide seven we generated $126 million of free cash flow in fiscal 2022. In addition to the growth oriented capital investments working capital was a significant use of cash year to date, we purchased raw materials and built inventory in a much higher cost compared to last year to support our strong demand.
In addition accounts receivable increased compared to last year, primarily due to the significant pricing we introduced into the market throughout 2022.
As Scott noted, we will spend another $150 million to $180 million on capital expenditures. This fiscal year as we continue to invest at elevated levels to support the strong market demand, we continue to see and work down our significant backlog.
In the fourth quarter, the remaining balance on the company's outstanding Aesop loan was repaid and effective March 31, 2022, the remaining unallocated shares of preferred stock were allocated to participants in April those shares converted to $12 8 million common shares outstanding.
Closing out the Aesop as another way to thank our employees for the great work they've done throughout this dynamic year as a reminder, in fiscal 2023, we will replace the aesop compensation expense with an employer 401, K match program, which will cost approximately $8 million to $10 million annually.
Direct you to the 8-K, we intend to file later today after the market closes that will present, our earnings per share numbers on an as reported basis as well as on a pro forma basis.
Finally on slide seven we provide our fiscal 2023 guidance based on our order activity backlog and current market trends. We currently expect net sales to be in the range of three 1% to $3 2 billion Rep.
Representing growth of 12% to 16%.
And adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $800 million to $820 million representing growth of 18% to 21% translating to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25, 7% at the midpoint versus 24, 4% this past year.
With that I will open the call for questions. Operator, Please open the line.
As a reminder, if <unk> like to ask that question. Please press the star followed by number one on your telephone keypad.
I'd like to withdraw your question. Please press star followed by number two when preparing to ask a question. Please ensure your phone is handling it locally.
And our first question comes from the line of just Bolinsky from Morgan Stanley . Please show US Your line is now open.
Hi, good morning, guys.
Good morning.
So.
I guess a question first trying to understand that some of the volume comments because the EBITDA waterfall shows that is a drag but I think you mentioned up.
Double digits in pipe.
Maybe just sort of.
And I explained where where youre seeing maybe that volume shortfall, if I'm understanding the waterfall chart right and then how much kind of deferred revenue or unexpected backlog build you had in the quarter.
Alright.
So this is Scott Barbour, Josh and if you. If you look at that kind of fourth quarter chart, which I think is the one that you might be referring to.
Yes.
Look at that nonresidential and residential and think a very solid double digit volume growth as well as the price attainment that we've been getting and if you look at the agriculture think of that as.
Some price attainment.
But.
Volumes.
Over a tough comp of a year ago. In addition to a very slow start to the agriculture selling season, which is what Mike 77, 8% of our of our sales in total and if.
One level, one level deeper would be lots of good agriculture orders, but theyre not released for shipment yet.
That's kind of speaks to you or is that a delayed revenue thing.
I would kind of think about this coming year as not a great spring season for the agriculture business, but potentially very good fall.
Business if things.
If the weather's favorable and all of that.
Not only seasonal by the highly cyclical segments, we're in the right part of the cycle.
Having a bad season, if you will if that helps clarify.
Got it that's that's.
Helpful. And then just on 'twenty three guidance.
Obviously, a lot of volatility over the past call it year and half with inputs, especially on the resin side.
Is there sort of an explicit price cost benefit that you guys are thinking about in guidance I know that the long term targets laid out at the analyst day didn't really have anything but just given that you kind of see the white to their eyes now anything that Youre building.
Yes, Josh Scott Cottrill here. So yes, absolutely there is when you look at the yield or pricing side of the house really good momentum. So all of that in Q4, all year really as we kind of ratcheted that up and we talked about run rate in Q3 Q4.
We will continue to take pricing actions as we deem appropriate and necessary.
On the other side of that coin, though we're very much keeping focus not only of resin, but what's happening with labor labor transportation diesel all of those costs. So we've got those in our guidance.
With kind of assuming that those continued to be up well over what they were in for the full year of 2002. So we've kind of taken a realistic we think approach on what those costs are going to mean to us and then make sure that on the on the pricing side. We continue to stay in front of that so absolutely that favorable spread again.
Starting with resin absolutely the right thing to do but we look at it as part of our manufacturing labor transportation diesel all in making sure that this margin expansion story that we started here in Q4 and we've been talking about this all year that we continue that momentum and we have that margin expansion in line of sight as we move through Q1 two three.
And next year.
Great I appreciate it guys best of luck.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mike Halloran from Baird. Please Mike Your line is now open.
Hey, good morning, gentlemen.
So good morning.
Hey, good morning, everyone. So on the guidance.
Maybe just some thoughts on how you guys are thinking about the underlying demand patterns for the year by your end markets.
If youre, assuming that backlog normalizes as you work through the year.
And any thoughts as you see it.
The inability of similar then markets, because obviously theres a lot of commentary.
Softening in some of the residential pieces, even some of the non res piece is going to say the distribution center side any kind of help on the assumption that you're embedding in the guidance would be really helpful.
Scott Barbour here, Michael and so there's a lot there's a lot to unpack underneath that.
But I think let me kind of boil it down to a couple a couple of things.
The first half of the year.
We look at continued.
Growth in orders.
And we say that because of our quote activity. There are a number of projects. We're tracking continue to grow and the sentiment that we get from the waterworks distribution, we're out there talking to every day and.
I spent quite a bit of time communicating with those guys over the last 30 45 days and they remain.
Very optimistic and bullish about the projects and demand they are seeing.
And working on that's translated into us.
We will continue to work off some backlog as this capacity comes online, particularly if you think about an infiltrator and the capacity that we've added there in the last year is working well for us and we're able to get our lead times down on some of our products, where we're what we're more accustomed to and we're in the process of doing that so that kind of all works.
Its way through the first half.
Hey, if you are second half, we've kind of modeled it as a kind of a normal year.
We don't have any kind of cliff out there we don't have any kind of tailing off we've tried to model it as a more traditional year.
More profit in the first half versus second half.
Trying to base ourselves against what we would call average type of volumes in the second half and we we remain firm that we're going to hold our pricing and that will we will take our pricing up inflation gets we started to get hit worse like Scott said, we like where we're at.
Right now we got on top of it it took us six months, but we feel good about doing doing what we said we were going to do in the performance in the fourth quarter and I think youll recognize that velocity of the fourth into the first.
Well I think set us up well.
But overall.
On the demand side.
That's how we're kind of kind of going at it.
Thanks for that and.
On the free cash flow side, obviously took on extra inventory this year to make sure you could.
Get in front of some of the environmental challenges.
As in the environment I should say.
Maybe some help on how you think that plays out as we work through the year this year, where you're going to see some normalization on the working capital side or do you think youre going to have to keep some elevated inventory on hand.
To manage through the challenges.
Yes, Michael the way, we think about working capital as it will it will start to normalize we'll hit in target kind of a 20% working capital as a percent of sales. We ended up last year. This current year. We just closed fiscal 'twenty two at 21, 8% little bit higher than obviously, we like.
Got to be for all the reasons that we indicated with all the pricing that we got into the market as well as that inflationary resin costs plus building some of that inventory in Q4 winter period, which we normally do so as we look forward, we have not forecasted any of those costs or pricing come off so those rates kind of stay at those <unk>.
Elevated levels. So it's much more of just kind of a pounds and sales volume gain and so again, we think that will be right at that 20% of working cap as a percent of sales target as we move forward.
Thanks for that appreciate it everyone.
Thanks, Michael thing Thank you.
Go ahead sorry.
Our next question comes from the line of Garik <unk> from loop capital. Please Garik. Your line is now open.
Oh, hi, thanks, Thanks for having me I was just wondering if you could expand a little bit more on what youre seeing on the cost side, whether it's on raw materials in polypropylene.
Or on.
On the transportation side.
Have a nice deceleration sequentially. When you started the transportation manufacturing cost buckets. So just kind of curious if you could expand on that a little bit.
Okay. This is Scott Barbara good morning.
And.
<unk>.
You know how I think about this I think about the raw materials.
<unk>.
Raw materials.
Our.
Really rose up fast kind of peaked in November December they've come down a little and they have been pretty darn flat.
And there is a mix underneath that between the polypropylene the Virgin high density polyethylene and the recycled but in any given month, we're kind of looking at flat month to month to month.
Looking forward Thats, how Scott kind of built it in and if that moves up we'll take action.
From a labor standpoint.
Our labor costs went up a lot last year theres, some full year effects of that plus we're going to be.
Mixing up our labor rate.
A little bit more than we have in the past.
And so youll see though we're covering that now, but <unk> seen that elevated transportation.
We could talk all day long about about our fleet, but think of it this way what you might be seen in the band market of a decrease.
Not so much in the flatbed market, which we tend to play so we're not seeing deflation in what I would call our contract trucking.
It's kind of steady right now, but we continue to have a shortage of drivers and so were running more on outside fleet and our fleet than we like.
We're using some contract drivers, which are lot more expensive than our drivers to drive our own equipment.
And we're doing that for capacity reasons.
So they're the transportation cost to remain elevated now we've baked that into our pricing models, because thats part of the service, we provide and I believe if you look at that fourth quarter.
We kind of got on top of it actually we got on top of it in the third and we got on top of it in the fourth and the first and second we didn't but.
Just to elaborate a bit or our communication. We believe was very consistent throughout the past year FY 'twenty two that.
As it came on as hard it came fast it took us six months to get that pricing in the market. It was going to be a back half loaded year than it was going to be dollars and I think we got that done nicely exceeded our expectations now we come out of that where we can continue to improve our profitability getting back to a better rate we've put them.
And our guidance.
I think thats, maybe unique right now to put that in your guidance.
But we think we're at the right place to kind of drive what you would think of as the normal execution that we've been doing over the last couple of years.
The revenues the conversion the allied products infiltrator growth drive margin improvement at a faster rate than sales workout programs, our execution all of that kind of stuff. So we feel good about getting back on top of that.
Got it and then I just wanted to follow up on your EBITDA.
EBITDA margin guidance that you provided in the Investor day in the four to 500 basis points of expansion through fiscal 'twenty five.
Just given the world.
This is ever changing and I'm, just kind of curious how you're thinking about that long term guidance. It's only been two months, but has there been any change or anything at all.
About the Holy Crap.
We're pretty busy.
I don't know if I thought about that but.
Let me take let me take that because we have a question. The other day actually so this is a good question.
So we gave you like four to 500 basis points and we told you that was going to be front end loaded.
In that three year plan. So the guidance that we issued we see lives up to that to that to that promise.
Investor Day that we see a way to execute that we have line of sight on that so we're going to put it out there and and work to do what we said we were going to do at the Investor Day, That's how we kind of looked at it and as far as.
These next couple of years I still think that's our goal we're not going to change our three year goal based on the last couple of months, which has been pretty chaotic I would agree with the with the war, starting and everything else, but we're not going to we're not going to move off that we're not going to move up Derek.
The point I would add to Scott's comment there is what gives us that confidence in that three year plan. In addition is that conversion story right. You can look at the end markets and you're entitled to your view of what's going to happen there, but we always talked to 1% to 200 basis points above our end markets is what historically has done it's been much greater than that over the last.
Couple of years, so we see that conversion story accelerating.
We've talked about the strength in April we talked about how we've ended fiscal 'twenty two our pricing power. We've got a lot of levers and we've got a lot of diversification that adds to the strength of this company and what we can do so we are still very bullish on the future and there would be nothing that we see right now that would be changing those guardrails.
Okay sounds good thanks again.
Thank you.
Thank you as a reminder to ask any further question. Please press star followed by number one.
So I did Alice I'll remind that so ask any further question. Please press the star followed by number one on your telephone keypad now. The next question comes from Matthew Bouley from Barclays.
Please Mark your line is now open.
Hey, Matt you there.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Sorry about that yeah I'm here, what I said was good morning, and thank you for taking the questions.
That's all.
The first question.
Just given all the price you've taken and sort of the broader challenges with inflation.
Are you expecting to see any pushback from customers on price or elasticity on volume just any larger customers or channels, where that risk keeps you up at night.
Scott Barbour here Matt.
You're always I always worried about that.
The the most price elastic market. We have is the is the agriculture market.
And we work hard to be very disciplined in our sales team and our leadership there and they are about that pricing and we've remained disciplined around that so I don't think were going to.
Back off of that right now in this environment, we worried about of course competition from competing materials.
They have extraordinary inflationary pressures also right now so we.
I think we've mentioned in the past we see localized.
<unk> problems versus the reinforced concrete pipe, sometimes so we have very localized pricing to kind of deal with that but I don't feel like there is an over.
Well, meaning our overarching channel geography or segment that is going to come in and blow a hole through what we've been doing is that does that is that.
Clarify a bit.
It sure does not thank you for that Scott.
And then I wanted to zoom in on the residential end market I know there was a question about broader markets earlier.
I think you said at the top that Youre still seeing strength on the front end land development side, I guess not that surprising but.
What are you hearing from customers on the front end and as well on the backend septic side on new construction, just just given all the concerns out there would be helpful. If you can kind of talk through some of the things Youre seeing thanks, Paul Okay.
So, let's take the onsite septic, which deals kind of around the housing completion stage.
And.
As you guys. All know you folks all know there is.
A greater period of time between start to completion today than historically it used to be about six to nine 9% to 12, 9% to 15. So that's part of the backlog of infiltrator thats kind of extending out.
And they also continued to see good order rates, particularly from those areas like the southeast the Midwest Rural areas custom home areas that their sales meeting last week.
And kind of big manager meeting with everyone and they're optimistic and bullish about what they see out there because they have great penetration great distribution, good new products that they are introducing there. So let's just call. It on the onsite septic side, we think that there is a very nice volume and demand support there and we're not.
We think we're in good shape.
On the land development side, we continue to I would call gained share with additional relationships with homebuilders being more and more involved in the early stages of their planning for kind of moving dirt to get their communities up and going.
This is related to supply chain problems, where they can't get other products they might not be able to get concrete.
We can help them with our with the good availability. In addition, we can help them with local regulatory matters and stuff like that so that continues to be a real nice strength I mean, Mike you were just beforehand, we were talking I mean up solid double digits.
Solid double digit in both the fourth quarter and our backlog there in <unk>.
I think theyre going to be with two of these homebuilders.
Next week.
Senior senior leaders in kind of the channels that the organizations, we work with down there so.
I guess I feel pretty good about both of those Matt I mean, I'm not saying that there is not.
Interest rates don't matter and all that stuff it does.
But I think we're positioned the programs we're working on.
All support this guidance that we just gave you in that and the three year outlook that we gave you a couple of months ago.
Yes, I would add to Scott's point about the relationships, we have with the builders I think our visibility has never been validation has never been better there. So.
And I know all you guys follow the builders and what you hear from them is.
The same type of it's not a demand problem. They don't have a selling problem, it's kind of a building problems. So they still seem to be very positive on the acquiring land starting communities building homes.
The demand that there is for single family construction and our distributors stayed the same site.
Encouraging is when we're with the senior leaders from our distribution.
They are watching this just as closely as we are in there.
They remain.
Very confident about demand levels in the residential segment.
Wonderful well, that's really great color I appreciate it thanks, guys and good luck.
Thank you thanks, Matt.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of <unk> from Morgan Stanley . Please Josh Your line is now open.
Hey, good morning again guys.
Just wanted to follow up on the.
Like warehouse in e-commerce fulfillment market I know, it's not the biggest piece of what you guys do but it's gotten to maritime over the last couple of years I think.
Yes.
The integrator from the likes of Amazon that they're kind of tapping the breaks there.
Yes, I guess the world is sort of bigger than one player, but like are you guys seeing any change there or any kind of.
New project mix or anything that would sort of be worth pointing out as maybe an inflection 0.1 way or the other.
So good question and yes. It has got a lot of airplay we've grown nicely in that market, it's been a big focus for us and.
So here's what we are hearing and again our team is going to be out there here in the next couple of weeks.
Meet with some of the large developers in that segment.
Nothing has stopped.
There are some things that have moved out by a year.
In what I'm told is kind of the last mile or sub regional.
Type of facilities that they were planning.
They continue to be bullish on the bigger facilities now this one I'm told.
We haven't seen any degradation in our order book or anything like that or the projects. So I think thats yet to come Josh.
Those those activities by by by some people out there that said.
Mike Higgins, we talked about this just the other day there is a tremendous shortage of available warehouse space.
So, particularly out in the west coast and on the Eastern Coast Beast. So we continue to see very strong.
Project tracking and quotation activity in those areas. So the other players I think we'll still be doing some of this but there is that there is that.
Potential change in behavior of a major player in that area.
Got it that's helpful. And then just one more follow up if I could on residential.
Obviously, if there is.
Municipal services water wastewater like that not as much of a content opportunity for you guys.
Any sense for what homebuilders are sort of scoop and up in terms of land activity is it more of the rural software.
I just would get some of the higher content on things like septic or are they kind of build more land a little closer into town list I would imagine like.
The choice of land location, probably matters a lot for for advanced drainage.
For onsite septic Youre absolutely correct.
It matters a lot.
And.
Here's my sense is that those top 10 homebuilders.
The onsite septic participation and there is probably less banned the.
The 33% of the overall market, we tend to do well like you said in the.
Rapidly rapidly growing areas areas of 10 or 20 home development not 200, now I'm sure that we'll trader guys will listen to this and give me 10, examples where I'm wrong, but.
I do believe there is.
A different mix with those big guys in the smaller builders doing 10 homes.
10, 15 miles outside the beltway.
That's our bread and butter.
The south the Midwest clauses semi rural areas, which are growing very rapidly you look at those counties.
They're growing very rapidly that's where we have very superior participation.
I was going to say with think of their business being with more regional local custom type homebuilders.
Versus.
Much larger top 10 builders for the most part.
And I think just the other point to remember too is roughly 30% of their business is repair and replace so that's very steady it's on existing homes.
The system is old so it's an old pipe and stone system gets replaced with plastic chambers or hey, there's more activity going on in the home more people living there you've expanded it.
Bigger Leach field a.
A new septic tanks et cetera.
Got it Super helpful. Thanks, guys.
Yes.
We currently have no further.
Question.
We're back to Scott for any final remarks.
Alright, Thank you very much and we really appreciate the questions and participation today from you all just a couple of comments to wrap up I mean.
We issued pretty strong guidance for next year, we're very confident in it we have line of sight on that we have the right programs and execution.
To do this plan.
Really importantly, we have this right velocity out of the fourth quarter into FY 'twenty three we feel very good about that and what we achieved in FY 'twenty two we have programs defined.
We have an execution orientation, we've got management processes in place.
To achieve this year and those long term goals, although that was a good question by <unk>.
How does this how does this fit into the long term and I think we've got that well dialed in we can always do better.
And we strive to do that but we feel very confident about where we are and then last.
Want to thank our employees.
Before we got on today, Mike Mike said it feels like it was two years ago that we were having the kickoff for FY 'twenty two it's been a long year and there's been lots of twists and turns but our employees and operations sales. Our SG&A employees are our transportation network guys working.
The odds are truck drivers I mean, this was a lot.
Different from the year before but still a lot of hard work and I'm very appreciative.
All of that they put in to support that our board gave us.
