Scott Barbour, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADS commented, "In the second quarter, we saw better than expected performance in the Infiltrator business and Allied products portfolio continue, despite demand headwinds from higher interest rates, credit tightening and economic uncertainty. Results from the ADS pipe portfolio remain in line with expectations. Importantly, we demonstrated the resilience of the business model through the 180 basis point expansion in Adjusted EBITDA margin, even with the lower demand environment. The margin performance this quarter benefited from sales mix, as well as previous investments in the business including automation and tooling, effective management of price/cost as well as continuous improvement within our operations."

"Demand for our innovative solutions continues to be driven by the secular trend of larger-scale and more frequent water-related climate events. ADS plays an important role in providing sustainable water management solutions, while additionally being a valued resource as regulations develop. The secular trend to manage storm water, combined with our material conversion strategy, gives us confidence in our strategic investments to support the long-term growth of the business. For instance, we announced this morning we are building a manufacturing facility in Lake Wales, Florida that will position us to continue to grow in Florida and the Southeast, a very important geographic region of the United States."

Barbour concluded, "With the first half of Fiscal 2024 behind us, we have narrowed our revenue target towards the upper end of the previous range and increased the Adjusted EBITDA mid-point guidance for the year. This reflects a continuation of demand trends experienced during the first half of the year, as well as confidence in our ability to manage margin performance, as demonstrated this quarter. Consistent with the previous guidance, our uncertainty remains as to the impact of tightening credit standards and higher interest rates on the non-residential and residential markets in the second half of the fiscal year. We will continue to focus on execution, delivering service to our customers and pursuing growth through attractive products, markets and partnerships, investing in capital and resources at both ADS and Infiltrator for when the market rebounds."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

Net sales decreased $104.0 million, or 11.8%, to $780.2 million, as compared to $884.2 million in the prior year quarter. Domestic pipe sales decreased $70.6 million, or 14.1%, to $430.4 million. Domestic allied products & other sales decreased $18.9 million, or 9.3%, to $183.3 million. Infiltrator sales decreased $17.0 million, or 11.3%, to $133.7 million. The decrease in domestic net sales was primarily driven by lower demand in the U.S. construction and agriculture end markets. International sales decreased $4.0 million, or 5.5%, to $69.4 million.

Gross profit decreased $17.3 million, or 5.4%, to $302.7 million as compared to $320.0 million in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the decrease in volume and unfavorable fixed cost absorption, partially offset by favorable material costs.

Net income per diluted share decreased $0.09, or 4.8%, to $1.71, as compared to $1.80 per share in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the factors mentioned above.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) decreased $17.0 million, or 6.4%, to $246.3 million, as compared to $263.2 million in the prior year, primarily due to the factors mentioned above. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 31.6% as compared to 29.8% in the prior year.

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures for Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Net sales decreased $240.1 million, or 13.4%, to $1,558.3 million, as compared to $1,798.4 million in the prior year quarter. Domestic pipe sales decreased $166.9 million, or 16.3%, to $859.0 million. Domestic allied products & other sales decreased $34.4 million, or 8.6%, to $366.7 million. Infiltrator sales decreased $41.8 million, or 13.2%, to $275.2 million. The decrease in domestic net sales was driven by lower demand in the U.S. construction and agriculture end markets. International sales decreased $22.8 million, or 15.7%, to $122.2 million.

Gross profit decreased $37.9 million, or 5.6%, to $634.1 million as compared to $672.1 million in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the decrease in volume and unfavorable fixed cost absorption, partially offset by favorable material costs.

Net income per diluted share decreased $0.12, or 3.0%, to $3.89, as compared to $4.01 per share in the prior year quarter. Results for the fiscal 2024 include a $14.9 million gain on the sale of assets, which after considering the income tax impact of this gain impacted net income per diluted share by $0.14.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) decreased $34.7 million, or 6.2%, to $527.6 million, as compared to $562.2 million in the prior year, primarily due to the factors mentioned above. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 33.9% as compared to 31.3% in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). ADS management uses non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results available in the accompanying tables.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes references to organic results, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are not intended to be substitutes for those reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that comprise net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, non-cash charges and certain other expenses. The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and the Company’s board of directors to assess financial performance and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s business strategies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as the Company’s management and board of directors. In order to provide investors with a meaningful reconciliation, the Company has provided below reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that comprises cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is a measure used by management and the Company’s board of directors to assess the Company’s ability to generate cash. Accordingly, management believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our ability to generate cash flow from operations after capital expenditures. In order to provide investors with a meaningful reconciliation, the Company has provided below a reconciliation of cash flow from operating activities to Free Cash Flow.

The following tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income and Free Cash Flow to Cash Flow from Operating Activities, the most comparable GAAP measures, for each of the periods indicated.
