Atkore Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

HARVEY, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Atkore Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Atkore') (NYSE: ATKR) announced earnings for its fiscal 2025 second quarter ended March 28, 2025. 'Atkore delivered strong second quarter results. We grew organic volume 5% year over year,' commented Bill Waltz, Atkore's President and Chief Executive Officer. 'The Company also realized improved productivity year over year.' Waltz continued, 'Especially during these dynamic times, Atkore's diverse portfolio which is predominantly sourced and manufactured domestically allows us to navigate what has been a challenging set of market conditions. Our achievements would not be as strong without the dedication of our teams. As I've said before, our people are truly our greatest asset. I'm proud that Atkore has once again earned the USA Today Top Workplaces award, underscoring our commitment to 'People' as one of the fundamentals of the Atkore Business System.' 2025 Second Quarter Results Net sales decreased by $91.2 million, or 11.5%, to $701.7 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025, compared to $792.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to decreased average selling prices across the Company's products of $131.4 million and partially offset by increased sales volume of $38.9 million. Gross profit decreased by $106.5 million, or 36.5%, to $185.1 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to $291.6 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin decreased to 26.4% for the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to 36.8% for the prior-year period. Gross profit decreased primarily due to declines in average selling prices of $131.4 million and increased freight costs of $8.8 million, partially offset by increased sales and cost of sales volume of $16.4 million and decreased input costs of $26.8 million. Net income decreased by $188.0 million, or 136.3%, to a net loss of $50.1 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025 compared to $138.0 million of net income for the prior-year period primarily due to lower gross profit of $106.5 million, asset impairment charges of $127.7 million, loss on sale of a business of $6.1 million, partially offset by lower income tax expense of $48.3 million and lower intangible amortization of $4.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $95.5 million, or 45.1%, to $116.4 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025 compared to $211.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit. Net (loss) income per diluted share prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ('GAAP') was $(1.46) for the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to $3.67 in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased by $2.04 to $2.04 for the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to $4.08 in the prior year period. The decrease in diluted earnings (loss) per share is primarily attributed to the net loss recorded in the quarter. Segment Results Electrical Net sales decreased by $98.1 million, or 16.6%, to $492.7 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025 compared to $590.8 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to decreased average selling prices of $115.5 million and partially offset by increased sales volume of $21.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 28, 2025 decreased by $104.8 million, or 53.5%, to $90.9 million from $195.8 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 18.5% for the three months ended March 28, 2025 compared to 33.1% for the three months ended March 29, 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was largely due to lower average selling prices. Safety & Infrastructure Net sales increased by $6.9 million, or 3.4%, for the three months ended March 28, 2025 to $209.3 million compared to $202.4 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024. The increase is primarily attributed to higher sales volume of $17.4 million and lower solar credit rebates of $5.8 million partially offset by lower selling prices of $15.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $10.5 million, or 41.3%, to $36.1 million for the three months ended March 28, 2025 compared to $25.5 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 17.2% for the three months ended March 28, 2025 compared to 12.6% for the three months ended March 29, 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was largely due to higher than expected margins in the construction business. Liquidity & Capital Resources On April 30, 2025, Atkore's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share of common stock payable on May 28, 2025, to stockholders of record on May 16, 2025. Full-Year Outlook 1 The Company is maintaining its estimate for fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $375 million to $425 million, and maintaining its estimate for Adjusted net income per diluted share to $5.75 - $6.85. The Company notes that this perspective may vary due to changes in assumptions or market conditions and other factors described under 'Forward-Looking Statements.'

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, gains and losses on the divestiture of a business, impairment of assets, 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 certain 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, gains and losses on the divestiture of a business (including any additional tax adjustments related to those divestitures), insurance recoveries, asset impairment charges, intangible asset amortization, 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 stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, 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 (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides meaningful information regarding the Company's liquidity. ATKORE INC.

Atkore Expects Strong Solid Q2 Performance Despite Flags Impairment Charge, Reaffirms FY25 Outlook

Atkore Inc. (NYSE:ATKR) shares are trading higher on Tuesday. On Monday, the company disclosed preliminary results for the second quarter of FY25. The company expects net sales of around $695 million—$705 million (vs. a consensus of $690.8 million) and adjusted EPS of roughly $2.01-$2.08 (vs. a street view of $1.40). Atkore also expects adjusted EBITDA of around $115 million-$118 million for the quarter. : Atkore Is Poised To Benefit From 'Electrification Megatrends': Analyst The preliminary results reflect volume growth in the mid-single digits and better-than-expected manufacturing productivity. The quarterly net loss and diluted loss per share were mainly due to a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of $121 million—$162 million related to High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) assets. Notably, on April 15, 2025, the company identified an impairment of certain HDPE pipe and conduit assets due to emerging competing technology, reduced public spending, delayed broadband funding, and revised cash flow projections. Labor deal: Moreover, the company inked a new 5-year labor agreement with the United Steelworkers for its Harvey, Illinois facility. The contract, retroactive to April 2024, follows the expiration of the previous agreement and reflects a successful collaboration between both parties.
