Core & Main Announces Fiscal 2021 Third Quarter Results

Core & Main, Inc. (NYSE: CNM) (together with its subsidiaries, “Core & Main”), a leading specialized distributor of water, wastewater, storm drainage and fire protection products, and related services, today announced unaudited financial results for the third fiscal quarter and nine months ended Oct. 31, 2021.

Fiscal 2021 Third Quarter Highlights (Compared with Fiscal 2020 Third Quarter)

  • Net sales increased 38.7% to $1,404.8 million
  • Gross profit margin increased 230 basis points to 26.4%
  • Net income increased 406.0% to $109.3 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased 83.4% to $189.1 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin (Non-GAAP) increased 330 basis points to 13.5%
  • Net Debt Leverage (Non-GAAP) (using Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis) decreased to 2.8x as of October 31, 2021 compared with 3.3x as of August 1, 2021
  • Closed four acquisitions during and subsequent to the quarter: Pacific Pipe Company, Inc., L & M Bag & Supply Co., Inc., CES Industrial Piping Supply, LLC and Catalone Pipe & Supply Co.
  • Fiscal year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA guidance increased to $560 - $580 million, representing year-over-year growth of 64% to 70%

“Core & Main delivered exceptional performance in the third quarter by capitalizing on strong end-market trends, proactively managing inflation and executing on our margin initiatives,” said Steve LeClair, Chief Executive Officer of Core & Main.

“We benefited from strong demand across each of our end markets, attributable to continued growth in municipal water infrastructure spending, growth in land and lot development due to continued housing demand, and recovery in the non-residential construction market. Despite ongoing inflationary trends across many of our product lines due to supply chain constraints and product availability challenges, our field and functional teams have done a fantastic job navigating the environment to provide consistent, reliable products and services to our customers. Our teams continue to execute at a very high level, leveraging our market leadership position and operational capabilities to gain market share and deliver EBITDA margin expansion during the quarter.”

“We remained active in M&A during and subsequent to the third quarter, closing on the Pacific Pipe, L & M Bag & Supply, CES Industrial Piping Supply and Catalone Pipe & Supply acquisitions. Each of these acquisitions fits well within our core M&A strategy, offering expansion into new geographies, access to new product lines, consolidation of existing market positions and the addition of key talent. We will continue to pursue and expand our acquisition pipeline, positioning ourselves for continued growth.”

LeClair concluded, “Overall, I am very proud of the entire Core & Main team as we continue to execute on our strategies to grow the business. With positive market tailwinds, a growing acquisition pipeline and steady momentum across our margin initiatives, we are confident in our ability to deliver strong results to our stakeholders for the remainder of 2021 and beyond.”

Three Months Ended October 31, 2021

Net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2021 increased $392.3 million, or 38.7%, to $1,404.8 million compared with $1,012.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to price inflation, representing approximately two-thirds of the net sales increase, strong market volume growth and share gains resulting from preferred access to products during a period of material shortages, which helped drive growth across all product lines. Net sales growth for pipes, valves & fittings products and storm drainage products benefited from end-market growth, acquisitions and price inflation across most product lines. Net sales growth for fire protection products also benefited from end-market growth and price inflation across most product lines. Net sales of meter products grew at a slower pace primarily due to shortages of semi-conductor chips that are components of certain smart meter products.

Gross profit for the three months ended October 31, 2021 increased $126.2 million, or 51.6%, to $370.6 million compared with $244.4 million in the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2021 was 26.4% compared with 24.1% in the prior year period, an improvement of 230 basis points. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to strategic inventory investments ahead of announced price increases, a favorable pricing environment, the execution of our gross margin initiatives and accretive acquisitions.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2021 increased $43.1 million, or 29.8%, to $187.9 million compared with $144.8 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $30.8 million in personnel expenses, which was primarily driven by higher variable compensation costs and headcount from acquisitions, a volume driven increase in distribution costs and lower discretionary spending in the prior year period in response to COVID-19. SG&A as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2021 was 13.4% compared with 14.3% in the prior year period, an improvement of approximately 90 basis points.

Net income for the three months ended October 31, 2021 increased $87.7 million, or 406.0%, to $109.3 million compared with $21.6 million in the prior year period. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to higher operating income and lower interest expense due to the Refinancing Transactions (as defined in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended October 31, 2021), partially offset by an increase in income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) for the three months ended October 31, 2021 increased $86.0 million, or 83.4%, to $189.1 million compared with $103.1 million in the prior year period. Growth in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to higher net sales, improved gross profit margins, and leveraging our cost structure on the increase in net sales and gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 330 basis points to 13.5% from 10.2% in the prior year period.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 2021

Net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 increased $947.0 million, or 33.7%, to $3,757.5 million compared with $2,810.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to price inflation, representing approximately half of the net sales increase, strong market volume growth and share gains resulting from preferred access to products during a period of material shortages, which helped drive growth across all product lines. Net sales growth for pipes, valves & fittings products and storm drainage products benefited from end-market growth, acquisitions and price inflation across most product lines. Net sales growth for fire protection products also benefited from end-market growth and price inflation across most product lines. Net sales of meter products grew at a slower pace primarily due to shortages of semi-conductor chips that are components of certain smart meter products.

Gross profit for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 increased $278.4 million, or 41.3%, to $952.6 million compared with $674.2 million in the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 was 25.4% compared with 24.0% in the prior year period, an improvement of 140 basis points. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to strategic inventory investments ahead of announced price increases, a favorable pricing environment, the execution of our gross margin initiatives and accretive acquisitions.

SG&A expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 increased $115.0 million, or 27.5%, to $533.6 million compared with $418.6 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $71.3 million in personnel expenses, which was primarily driven by higher variable compensation costs and increased headcount, lower discretionary spending in response to COVID-19 in the prior year period, a volume driven increase in distribution costs and incremental costs from acquisitions. In addition, during the nine months ended October 31, 2021, SG&A expenses increased by $19.1 million related to higher equity-based compensation expense due to accounting for equity awards and $3.6 million related to one-time costs in connection with our initial public offering (the "IPO"). SG&A as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 was 14.2% compared with 14.9% in the prior year period, an improvement of approximately 70 basis points.

Net income for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 increased $109.7 million, or 300.5%, to $146.2 million compared with $36.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to higher operating income and lower interest expense related to the Refinancing Transactions, partially offset by the $50.7 million loss on debt modification.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 increased $182.6 million, or 67.4%, to $453.4 million compared with $270.8 million in the prior year period. Growth in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to higher net sales, improved gross profit margins, and leveraging our cost structure on the increase in net sales and gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 250 basis points to 12.1% from 9.6% in the prior year period.

Capital Structure and Liquidity

Net debt, calculated as gross consolidated debt net of cash and cash equivalents, as of October 31, 2021 was $1,491.4 million. Net Debt Leverage (defined as the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months) was 2.8x, an improvement of 0.5x from August 1, 2021. The improvement was attributable to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

As of October 31, 2021, Core & Main had total liquidity of $845.9 million, consisting of $4.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $841.0 million of excess availability under our asset-based revolving credit facility, which is net of approximately $9.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Fiscal 2021 Outlook

"Our performance in the third quarter continued to be very strong despite ongoing supply chain constraints and product availability challenges," LeClair continued. "Demand and pricing trends remain favorable across each of our end markets, and now look more positive than what we expected three months ago. Based on current visibility, backlog of existing orders and business trends, we now expect full year fiscal 2021 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $560 million to $580 million, representing year-over-year growth of 64% to 70%."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net Debt Leverage, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not considered measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and the items excluded therefrom are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance or liquidity. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP measures such as net income, net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc., cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in our financial statements as an indicator of our financial performance or liquidity.

We define EBITDA as net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc. adjusted for non-controlling interest, depreciation and amortization, provision for income taxes and interest expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA as further adjusted for certain items management believes are not reflective of the underlying operations of our business, including (a) loss on debt modification and extinguishment, (b) equity-based compensation, (c) expenses associated with the IPO and (d) expenses associated with acquisition activities. Net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc. is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We define Net Debt Leverage as total consolidated debt (gross of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs), net of cash and cash equivalents, divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months.

We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net Debt Leverage to assess the operating results and effectiveness and efficiency of our business. Adjusted EBITDA includes amounts otherwise attributable to non-controlling interests as we manage the consolidated company and evaluate operating performance in a similar manner. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that investors consider them to be important supplemental measures of performance, and we believe that these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics reported by other companies and may not be calculated in the same manner. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

  • do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt;
  • do not reflect income tax expenses, the cash requirements to pay taxes or related distributions;
  • do not reflect cash requirements to replace in the future any assets being depreciated and amortized; and
  • exclude certain transactions or expenses as allowed by the various agreements governing our indebtedness.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net Debt Leverage are not alternative measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and therefore should be considered in conjunction with net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc. and other performance measures such as gross profit or net cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities and not as alternatives to such GAAP measures. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation.

No reconciliation of the estimated range for Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2021 is included herein because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty to predict certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Consequently, we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be misleading to investors. In particular, the effects of acquisition expenses and associated taxes cannot be reasonably predicted in light of the inherent difficulty in quantifying such items on a forward-looking basis. We expect the variability of these excluded items may have an unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of net income or net income attributable to Core & Main, Inc. to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable, for the periods presented, as well as a calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin for the periods presented:
