HARVEY, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Atkore International Group Inc. (the “Company” or "Atkore") (NYSE: ATKR) announced earnings for its fiscal 2016 full-year and fourth quarter ended September 30, 2016 (“fourth quarter”).
“We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full fiscal year results, which delivered expanded earnings, increased margins and improved cash flow compared to the same periods in 2015," commented John Williamson, Atkore’s President and CEO. "Our continued focus on product quality, service levels, and business value strengthened the customer experience and drove greater shareholder return, despite raw material pricing volatility and changing market dynamics.”
Fiscal 2016 Full-Year Results
Net sales for fiscal 2016 decreased to $1,523.4 million, a decline of 11.9% compared to $1,729.2 million for fiscal 2015. Adjusted net sales, which exclude the Fence and Sprinkler product lines, which the Company exited in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, decreased 2.3%, compared to fiscal 2015 due to the impact of lower commodity costs, which we passed through to our customers, offset in part by the impact of an additional week during fiscal 2016.
Gross profit increased by $95.9 million to $368.7 million for fiscal 2016. Despite the challenges of year-over-year volatility in commodity costs and changing market dynamics, gross margin expanded from 15.8% in fiscal 2015 to 24.2% in fiscal 2016 due to the Company's focus on strategic pricing, improved manufacturing productivity and lower freight and warehousing costs.
SG&A expenses increased $33.6 million, or 18.1%, to $219.4 million for fiscal 2016, as compared to $185.8 million for fiscal 2015, largely driven by costs associated with the Company's initial public offering, which occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
Net income increased by $63.8 million to $58.8 million for fiscal 2016, as compared to net loss of $5.0 million for fiscal 2015. Adjusted net income increased $70.0 million to $82.6 million for fiscal 2016 compared to $12.7 million for fiscal 2015. The increase in both net income and adjusted net income was primarily driven by expanded operating margins.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $71.1 million, or 43.3%, to $235.0 million for fiscal 2016, as compared to $164.0 million for fiscal 2015. Net income margin increased to 3.9% for fiscal 2016 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased from 10.6% for fiscal 2015 to 15.5% for fiscal 2016. These increases are tied to Atkore's strategic pricing initiatives while meeting customer expectations of product availability, delivery service levels and co-loading capabilities.
Basic and diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis were $0.94 for fiscal 2016, an increase of $1.02 from fiscal 2015. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.32 per share for fiscal 2016 compared to $0.20 for fiscal 2015.
The ratio of total debt to Adjusted EBITDA improved to 2.7x at September 30, 2016, down from 4.0x at September 25, 2015. The Company’s leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve month basis, improved to 1.8x at September 30, 2016, from 3.5x at September 25, 2015.
2016 Fourth Quarter Results
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2016 decreased to $416.2 million, a decline of 4.9% compared to $437.8 million for the prior-year period.
Adjusted net sales, which exclude the Fence and Sprinkler product lines which the Company exited in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, increased 5.0%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, driven primarily by an additional week of activity during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Gross profit increased by $22.5 million to $93.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to $70.8 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin expanded from 16.1% in the prior-year period to 22.4% in the fourth quarter. Gross margin increased primarily due to the Company's ability to pass through its material cost increases and execute our strategic pricing initiatives by meeting customer expectations and improved productivity in manufacturing freight and warehousing costs.
SG&A expenses increased $1.9 million, or 3.4%, to $57.0 million for the fourth quarter, as compared to $55.1 million for the prior-year period.
Net income increased by $42.6 million to net income of $15.6 million for the fourth quarter, as compared to net loss of $27.1 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted net income increased $34.6 million to adjusted net income of $22.5 million compared to an adjusted net loss of $12.1 million for prior-year period. The increase in both net income and adjusted net income was primarily driven by the Company's expanded operating margins.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $7.4 million, or 13.6%, to $61.4 million for the fourth quarter, as compared to $54.0 million for the prior-year period. Net income margin increased from a net loss margin of 6.2% to net income margin of 3.7% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased from 13.6% to 14.7%.
Basic and diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis were $0.25 and $0.24, respectively, for the quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased by $0.11 to $0.35 per share for the fourth quarter as compared to diluted loss of $0.19 per share for the prior-year period.
Segment Results
Electrical Raceway
Electrical Raceway net sales increased $18.8 million, or 7.4%, to $273.4 million for the fourth quarter, as compared to $254.6 million for the prior-year period, primarily due to the additional week during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Net sales decreased $17.5 million, or 1.7%, to $988.1 million for fiscal 2016 compared to $1,005.6 million for fiscal 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.6 million, or 38.2%, to $45.5 million for the fourth quarter, as compared to $32.9 million for the prior-year period, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased from 12.9% to 16.7%. Adjusted EBITDA increased $67.9 million, or 63.6%, to $174.6 million for fiscal 2016 compared to $106.7 million for fiscal 2015. Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased from 10.6% to 17.7%. The quarterly and full-year increases were primarily attributable to our ability to maintain an average selling price, which decreased less than the decrease in raw material costs due to our ability to execute the Company's strategic pricing strategy.
Mechanical Products & Solutions
MP&S net sales declined $40.2 million, or 21.9%, to $143.3 million for the fourth quarter, as compared to $183.6 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted net sales, which exclude the Fence and Sprinkler businesses, increased $1.2 million, or 0.8%, due to an additional week during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, offset in part by lower volume of products sold.
Net sales declined $187.6 million, or 25.9% to $537.1 million for fiscal 2016 compared to $724.8 million for fiscal 2015. Adjusted net sales, which exclude the Fence and Sprinkler businesses, declined $16.9 million, or 3.1% due to lower average selling prices and lower volume resulting from lower demand impacting certain end markets, offset in part by an additional week during fiscal 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.9 million, or 10.7%, to $23.8 million for the fourth quarter as compared to the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased to 16.6% from 18.8% in the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the mix of products sold.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.0 million, or 11.3%, to $88.6 million for fiscal 2016 compared to $79.6 million for fiscal 2015. Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased to 16.7% from 14.6% in fiscal 2015 due to improved productivity in manufacturing including lower freight and warehouse costs.

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 Net Sales
We present Adjusted net sales to facilitate comparisons of reported net sales from period to period within our MP&S segment. In August 2015, we announced plans to exit the Fence and Sprinkler product lines in order to re-align our long-term strategic focus. These product lines were exited during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Management uses Adjusted net sales to evaluate our ongoing business operations, which no longer include Fence and Sprinkler. We define Adjusted net sales as reported net sales excluding net sales directly attributable to Fence and Sprinkler.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and 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: depreciation and amortization, gain on extinguishment of debt, interest expense (net), income tax expense (benefit), restructuring and impairments, net periodic pension benefit cost, stock-based compensation, impact from anti-microbial coated sprinkler pipe, or “ABF,” product liability, consulting fees, legal settlements, transaction costs, other items, and the impact from our Fence and Sprinkler exit. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a profitability measure in evaluating the performance of our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted net sales.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share
We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings 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 (loss) before consulting fees, stock-based compensation expense and other items, including the impact from our Fence and Sprinkler exit. We define Adjusted earnings per share as basic and diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of consulting fees, stock-based compensation and other items, including the impact from our Fence and Sprinkler exit.
Leverage Ratio - Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA
We define leverage ratio as the ratio of net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) to Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve month basis. We believe the leverage ratio is useful to investors as an alternative liquidity measure.
