Masonite International Corporation Reports First Quarter Results
(Tampa, FL, May 6, 2024) - Masonite International Corporation ("Masonite" or the "Company") (NYSE: DOOR) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net sales | $668 | $726 | (8%) | |||
Net income attributable to Masonite | $61 | $38 | +59% | |||

"Although end-market conditions remain choppy, we saw a sequential improvement in performance as we moved through the quarter," said Howard Heckes, President and CEO. "Disciplined price-cost management continues to benefit margins in our North American Residential segment and the integration of the Fleetwood acquisition is progressing according to plan. Subsequent to the quarter end we announced the pending sale of the Architectural business segment, which further sharpens our focus on capturing opportunities in our residential end markets. Now that our shareholders have approved the pending acquisition by Owens Corning, we look forward to closing the transaction and becoming part of the larger, combined entity."

First Quarter 2024 Discussion
(All references to percent increase or decrease in the discussion below compare first quarter 2024 results to results from the first quarter of 2023 unless otherwise noted.)
Consolidated net sales were $668 million in the first quarter of 2024, an 8% decrease resulting from a 10% decline in volume, a 1% decrease in average unit price (AUP) and a 1% decrease in sales of door components, partially offset by a 4% increase from the Fleetwood acquisition.
Total Company gross profit was $165 million in the first quarter of 2024, down 3% as positive contributions from price-cost management initiatives and the Fleetwood acquisition were more than offset by impacts of lower volumes. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, however, increased 130 basis points to 24.8%.
Selling, general and administration (SG&A) expenses were $153 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 50% due primarily to an increase in acquisition and due diligence-related costs, including those related to our previously contemplated acquisition of PGTI, as well as incremental acquired SG&A from Fleetwood. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased 880 basis points to 23% compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Net income attributable to Masonite was $61 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 59% primarily driven by an increase in other income related to receipt of the PGTI termination fee, partially offset by acquisition and due diligence costs, as well as higher income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA* was $97 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of 9% driven primarily by the impact of volume declines. Diluted earnings per share were $2.74, an increase of 60% compared to $1.71 in the comparable 2023 period. Diluted adjusted earnings per share* were $1.29 compared to $1.88 in the comparable 2023 period.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
At the end of the first quarter, total available liquidity was $507 million, inclusive of $230 million in unrestricted cash and $277 million of availability under our ABL Facility and AR Sales Program.
Cash provided by operations was $133 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $56 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures were $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease from $28 million in the comparable period of 2023.
During the first quarter, Masonite did not repurchase any shares of stock.
Acquisition by Owens Corning
On February 8, 2024, Masonite and Owens Corning entered into a definitive agreement under which Owens Corning will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Masonite for $133.00 per share in cash. On April 25, 2024 Masonite shareholders voted to approve the combination and the transaction is anticipated to close in May 2024, subject to satisfaction of the remaining customary closing conditions.
In light of this pending transaction, Masonite does not plan to hold a live conference call to discuss first quarter results. Additional information on the Company's results can be found on our Form 10-Q to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Related Information
Our management reviews net sales and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Net assets are not allocated to the reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to either net income or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Masonite adjusted to exclude the following items, as applicable: depreciation; amortization; share based compensation expense; loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment; registration and listing fees; restructuring costs; asset impairment; loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries; interest expense (income), net; loss on extinguishment of debt; other expense (income), net; income tax expense (benefit); other items; loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax; and net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest. This definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the definitions of EBITDA contained in the indentures governing the 2028 and 2030 Notes and the credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility. Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated under our ABL Facility or senior notes would also include, among other things, additional add-backs for amounts related to: cost savings projected by us in good faith to be realized as a result of actions taken or expected to be taken prior to or during the relevant period; fees and expenses in connection with certain plant closures and layoffs; and the amount of any restructuring charges, integration costs or other business optimization expenses or reserve deducted in the relevant period in computing consolidated net income, including any one-time costs incurred in connection with acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA is used to evaluate and compare the performance of the segments and it is one of the primary measures used to determine employee incentive compensation. Intersegment sales are recorded using market prices. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, from an operations standpoint, provides an appropriate way to measure and assess segment performance. Our management team has established the practice of reviewing the performance of each segment based on the measures of net sales and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to users of the consolidated financial statements because it provides the same information that we use internally to evaluate and compare the performance of the segments and it is one of the primary measures used to determine employee incentive compensation.
The tables below set forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Masonite to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Management believes this measure provides supplemental information on how successfully we operate our business.
5
Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per common share attributable to Masonite (EPS) less restructuring costs, asset impairment charges, loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries, loss on extinguishment of debt and other items, if any, that do not relate to Masonite's underlying business performance (each net of related tax expense (benefit)). Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of the Company and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and associated tables may not foot due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding utilized for the diluted EPS and diluted Adjusted EPS calculation contemplates the exercise of all currently outstanding SARs and the conversion of all RSUs. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the weighted average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. For all periods presented, common shares issuable for stock instruments which would have had an anti- dilutive impact under the treasury stock method have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
