Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased to $869.9 million, a decrease of 15.5% compared to $1,029.0 million for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower average selling prices of $173.8 million as the result of expected pricing normalization and the economic value of solar tax credits to be transferred to certain customers of $14.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales volume of $19.2 million from entities acquired during fiscal 2022 and 2023 of $10.4 million.

Gross profit decreased by $113.0 million to $301.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to $414.5 million for the prior-year period. Gross margins decreased from 40.3% in the prior year period to 34.7%. Gross profit and gross profit margin decreased due to declines in average selling prices of $173.8 million, partially offset by slower declines in the costs of steel, copper and resin of $90.9 million.

Net income decreased $79.9 million to $140.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to $220.8 million for the prior-year period, due to lower operating income of $107.4 million, partially offset by decreased income taxes of $27.0 million. Adjusted net income decreased $70.5 million to $161.0 million compared to $231.6 million for the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $93.1 million, or 28.6%, to $232.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to $325.1 million for the prior-year period. Net income margin decreased from 21.5% in the prior-year period to 16.2% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased 490 basis points from 31.6% to 26.7%.

Net income per diluted share was $3.63 for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.55 from the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $4.21 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $5.52 for the prior-year period.

Segment Results

Electrical

Electrical net sales decreased $145.4 million, or 18.3%, to $649.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to $795.2 million for the prior-year period. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to decreased average selling prices of $133.4 million as a result of expected pricing normalization and decreased volume of $23.1 million, partially offset by increased sales from companies acquired in fiscal 2022 and 2023 of $9.8 million.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $71.2 million, or 23.1%, to $237.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to $308.8 million for the prior-year period, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased from 38.8% to 36.6%. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was largely due to lower average selling prices over input costs.

Safety & Infrastructure

Safety & Infrastructure net sales decreased $13.6 million, or 5.8%, to $220.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to $233.9 million for the prior-year period. The decrease is attributed to lower average selling prices of $40.4 million and the economic value of solar tax credits to be transferred to certain customers of $14.5 million partially offset by higher volumes of $42.4 million.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $21.2 million, or 58.4%, to $15.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to $36.4 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased to 6.9% from 15.6%. The Adjusted EBITDA decrease was largely due to lower average selling prices over input costs and the impacts of solar tax credit accounting.

Fiscal 2023 Full-Year Results

Net sales for fiscal 2023 decreased $395.2 million to $3,518.8 million, a decrease of 10.1%, compared to $3,913.9 million for fiscal 2022. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to decreased average selling prices of $646.6 million, the economic value of solar tax credits to be transferred to certain customers of $30.4 million and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates of $15.1 million. These decreases are partially offset by increased net sales of $168.9 million from companies acquired during fiscal 2022 and 2023 and increased sales volume of $125.1 million across varying product categories within both the Electrical and the Safety & Infrastructure segments.

Gross profit for fiscal 2023 decreased $300.5 million to $1,339.5 million, a decrease of 18.3%, compared to $1,640.0 million for fiscal 2022. Gross margin decreased to 38.1% in fiscal 2023 compared to 41.9% in fiscal 2022 due to declines in average selling prices of $646.6 million, partially offset by slower declines in the input costs of steel, copper and PVC resin of $337.8 million.

Net income decreased $223.5 million to $689.9 million for fiscal 2023, as compared to $913.4 million for fiscal 2022. Adjusted net income decreased $191.1 million to $763.0 million for fiscal 2023 compared to $954.1 million for fiscal 2022. The decrease in both net income and adjusted net income was primarily driven by lower operating income of $340.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $299.7 million or 22.3%, to $1,042.1 million for fiscal 2023, as compared to $1,341.8 million for fiscal 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating income.

Net income per diluted share on a GAAP basis was $17.27 for fiscal 2023, a decrease of $3.03 from fiscal 2022. Adjusted net income per diluted share was $19.40 for fiscal 2023 compared to $21.55 for fiscal 2022.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

During fiscal 2023, operating activities provided $807.6 million of cash, compared to $786.8 million during fiscal year 2022. Free cash flow decreased to $588.7 million for fiscal 2023 from $651.1 million in fiscal year 2022. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by less cash used in working capital of $105.8 million and tax impacts of $229.3 million, partially offset by lower operating income of $340.3 million. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to additional capital expenditures during fiscal 2023 of $83.1 million when compared to the prior fiscal year, partially offset by the increase in operating cash.

During fiscal 2023, the Company deployed $83.4 million on the acquisition of Elite Polymer Solutions with an additional $14.0 million to be paid in the future, repurchased $491.0 million in outstanding shares and had capital expenditures of $218.9 million.

The Board of Directors has approved a new quarterly dividend program to be added to the Company’s capital deployment model. The Company expects the first quarterly cash distribution to be considered, declared and paid in calendar Q1 2024, following Atkore’s fiscal Q1 2024 earnings announcement. All dividend declarations are subject to approval by the Board of Directors. Compliance with any applicable financial hurdles and the details of future dividend declarations, including the amount, timing and establishment of the record and payment dates, will be determined by the Board of Directors.

Outlook and Targets1

Fiscal 2024 First Quarter - The Company expects the first quarter of fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $200 - $210 million and Adjusted net income per diluted share to be in the range of $3.50 - $3.70.

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, loss on assets held for sale, 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 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, loss on assets held for sale, intangible asset amortization, gain on purchase of a business, 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 gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, gain on sale of a business, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides meaningful information regarding the Company’s liquidity.

(b) The Company calculates basic and diluted net income per common share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities as if all the net earnings for the period had been distributed. The Company's participating securities consist of share-based payment awards that contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends and therefore are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders. Included within the calculation of net income per diluted share is 10,637 and 14,460 of undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities for fiscal years ended 2023 and 2022. Included within the calculation of net income per diluted share is See Note 8, “Earnings Per Share” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

(c) Adjusted net income per diluted share is calculated by taking adjusted net income and divided by the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.
