MasterBrand Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

  • 4Q and full year 2023 net sales decreased 14% and 17% year-over-year to $677.1 million and $2.7 billion, respectively
  • 4Q and full year net income increased 134% and 17% year-over-year to $36.1 million and $182.0 million, respectively
  • 4Q and full year adjusted EBITDA1 margin increased 20 basis points and 150 basis points year-over-year to 12.7% and 14.1%, respectively

  • Introduces 2024 financial outlook, including adjusted EPS

MasterBrand, Inc. (NYSE: MBC, the “Company,” or “MasterBrand”), the largest residential cabinet manufacturer in North America, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results.

“We delivered another solid quarter, finishing off a strong first year as a standalone public company. With net sales at the high-end of our internal expectations, and our operations performing well, we were able to achieve our fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year adjusted EBITDA1 margin expansion, despite market headwinds,” said Dave Banyard, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These results are a testament to our continued execution on the Company’s strategic initiatives, our disciplined use of The MasterBrand Way and the dedication of our associates across the organization.”

“Our full year 2023 performance demonstrates the power of our business model and culture. As we enter 2024, we believe we can continue to drive operational efficiencies, allowing us to invest for growth at an even higher pace and achieve the long-term targets introduced at our 2022 Investor Day,” Banyard continued.

Fourth Quarter 2023

Net sales were $677.1 million, compared to $784.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower volumes, driven by softer end-market demand. Gross profit was $223.1 million, compared to $215.0 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Gross profit margin increased 550 basis points to 32.9%, as year-over-year savings from strategic initiatives, specifically supply chain efforts, continuous improvement, and cost actions more than offset the negative impact of market-driven lower volumes, trade downs, and personnel inflation.

Net income was $36.1 million, compared to $15.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of higher operating income, due to $20.4 million of asset impairment charges in the prior-year quarter that did not reoccur. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.28, compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.12 in the comparable period of the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $85.8 million, compared to $97.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA1 margin increased 20 basis points to 12.7%, compared to 12.5% in the comparable period of the prior year.

Full Year 2023

Net sales were $2.7 billion, compared to $3.3 billion in 2022, a decrease of 16.8%. Gross profit was $901.4 million, compared to $940.5 million in the prior year, a 4.2% decrease. Gross profit margin expanded 440 basis points to 33.1%, as higher average selling prices, savings from strategic initiatives, specifically supply chain efforts, continuous improvement, and cost actions more than offset the negative impact of market-driven lower volumes, personnel inflation and investments in our Tech Enabled initiative.

Net income was $182.0 million, compared to $155.4 million in 2022, an increase of 17.1%, primarily due to asset impairment charges in the prior year that did not reoccur, higher amortization and restructuring charges in 2022, and a lower 2023 income tax expense. This was partially offset by higher interest expense for the full year 2023 related to the debt necessary to fund the dividend to Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (f/k/a Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc.) at the time of the spin-off.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $383.4 million, compared to $411.4 million in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA1 margin expanded 150 basis points to 14.1%, compared to 12.6% in the prior year.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Share Repurchases

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $148.7 million in cash and $480.2 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. Net debt1 was $559.1 million and net debt to adjusted EBITDA1 was 1.5 x.

Operating cash flow was $405.6 million for the fifty-three weeks ended December 31, 2023, compared to $235.6 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow1 was $348.3 million for the fifty-three weeks ended December 31, 2023, compared to $179.7 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase in cash generation is a direct result of our operational performance and execution of our working capital reduction plans.

During the fourth quarter and full year 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 527 thousand shares of common stock and approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock, respectively.

2024 Financial Outlook

For full year 2024, the Company expects:

  • Net sales year-over-year decline of low single-digit percentage to flat
  • Adjusted EBITDA1,2 in the range of $370 million to $400 million, with related adjusted EBITDA margins1,2 of roughly 14.0 to 14.5 percent
  • Adjusted EPS1,2 in the range of $1.40 to $1.60

The Company expects net sales performance to be in line with the underlying market demand, and initiatives designed to gain share to more than offset trade down and continued soft market demand. The ability to flex manufacturing, due to the success of the common box initiative, coupled with further execution on strategic initiatives and continuous improvement efforts should allow for flat to slightly higher full year adjusted EBITDA margins.

“We are well positioned to address the varying dynamics we expect across our end markets in 2024. We launched new products and channel-specific packages late last year, tailored to capture share in portions of the market best positioned for growth,” said Andi Simon, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We also expect The MasterBrand Way to drive continuous improvement savings and our flexible manufacturing capacity to deliver results in 2024.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in this earnings release, certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules have been included. It is our intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our methods of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies for these or similar non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.

We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”), free cash flow, and net debt, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We evaluate the performance of our business based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBITDA as a performance evaluation measure because interest expense is related to corporate functions, as opposed to operations. For that reason, we believe EBITDA is a useful metric to investors in evaluating our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results and special items from EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted EPS is a measure of our diluted earnings per share excluding non-operational results and special items. These non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they are representative of our core operations and are used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a useful measure to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities available for the execution of our business strategy, and is used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Net debt is defined as total balance sheet debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides a measure to compare debt less cash and cash equivalents across periods on a consistent basis. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing net debt by the trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is used by management to assess our financial leverage and ability to service our debt obligations.

As required by SEC rules, see the financial statement section of this earnings release for detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We have not provided a reconciliation of our fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted EPS guidance because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted EPS. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.

TICK LEGEND:

[1] Prior to the separation from Fortune Brands in 4Q 2022, our historical consolidated financial statements included expense allocations for certain corporate functions performed on our behalf by Fortune Brands, including information technology, finance, executive, human resources, supply chain, internal audit and legal services. As a standalone public company, we expect that the costs we incur on a standalone basis for such expenses previously allocated to us by Fortune Brands and new costs relating to our public company reporting and compliance obligations will be less than the expense allocations from Fortune Brands within our historical financial statements.

The costs of MasterBrand we plan to incur are based on our expected organizational structure and expected cost structure as a standalone company. In order to determine the impact of the synergies and dis-synergies, MasterBrand prepared a detailed assessment of personnel costs based on the estimated resources and associated costs required as a baseline to stand up MasterBrand as a standalone company.

In addition to personnel costs, estimated non-personnel third party support costs in each function were considered, which included business support functions and corporate overhead charges previously shared with Fortune Brands. Estimated non personnel third party support costs were determined by estimating third party spend in each function, and include the costs associated with outside services supporting information technology, finance, executive, human resources, supply chain, internal audit and legal services. This process was used by all functions resulting in expected net cost savings when compared to the corporate allocations from Fortune Brands included in the historical financial statements.

[2] Separation costs represent one-time costs incurred directly by MasterBrand related to the separation from Fortune Brands.

[3] Restructuring charges are nonrecurring costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and may consist of workforce reduction costs, facility closure costs, and other costs to maintain certain facilities where operations have ceased, but which we are still responsible for. The restructuring charges for the periods presented are comprised primarily of workforce reduction costs and facility closure costs.

[4] Restructuring-related charges are expenses directly related to restructuring initiatives that do not represent normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate the business, but cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories from exiting product lines, accelerated depreciation expense, and gains/losses on the sale of facilities closed as a result of restructuring actions. Restructuring-related (adjustments) are recoveries of previously recorded restructuring-related charges resulting from changes in estimates of accruals recorded in prior periods. Restructuring-related charges/(adjustments) for the periods presented are related primarily to the reserves for losses on disposal of inventories.

[5] The quarter and year-ended December 25, 2022, included $20.4 million and $46.4 million, respectively, of pre-tax impairment charges related to impairments of indefinite-lived tradenames.

[6] We exclude the impact of actuarial gains and losses related to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan as they are not deemed indicative of future operations.

[7] In order to calculate Adjusted Net Income, each of the items described in Items [1] - [6] above were tax effected based upon the effective tax rates for the respective periods. The effective tax rate was calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before taxes for the respective periods.
