George Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Demand for the products we manufacture remained strong throughout our fiscal year and that continues today. Despite challenges related to the supply chain and inflation, we reported record revenue growth and record earnings for the year.
“Our liquidity position has improved meaningfully over the past year, and our balance sheet is strong. We were able to pay down $65 million of bank debt in fiscal 2023, and we are very close to being net debt free. We are focused on closing the valuation gap that currently exists between us and our peers. As such, the Board has authorized a new $75 million share repurchase program, which reflects our strong balance sheet, commitment to returning capital to shareholders and overall confidence in the ability of the Company to continue to grow and create value for shareholders over time.” (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section for additional information)
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2023 Results Summary
Quanex reported net sales growth of 14.2% and 25.9% during the three months and twelve months ended October 31, 2023, respectively. The increases were mostly due to improved demand across all product lines and operating segments combined with higher prices primarily related to the pass through of raw material cost inflation. More specifically, for the fourth quarter and full year, the Company posted net sales growth of 10.1% and 19.6%, respectively, in its North American Fenestration segment, 15.9% and 17.1%, respectively, in its North American Cabinet Components segment and 17.6% and 45.6%, respectively, in its European Fenestration segment, excluding the foreign exchange impact. As a reminder, both of the Company’s manufacturing facilities in the U.K. were shut down in late March of 2020 and did not resume operations until mid-to-late May last year. (See Sales Analysis table for additional information)
The decrease in earnings for the three months ended October 31, 2023 was driven by inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges. The increase in earnings for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023 was largely due to higher volumes, improved operating leverage and better pricing. This increase was somewhat offset by higher raw material costs and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Balance Sheet & Liquidity Update
As of October 31, 2023, Quanex had total debt of $53.5 million and its leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA improved to 0.1x. (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section for additional information)
The Company’s liquidity increased to $322.6 million as of October 31, 2023, consisting of $40.1 million in cash on hand plus availability under its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due 2023, less letters of credit outstanding.
Share Repurchases
Quanex’s Board authorized a $60 million share repurchase program in September of 2018, which is now complete. Repurchases under this program were made in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The Company repurchased 247,003 shares of common stock for approximately $5.4 million at an average price of $22.03 per share during the three months ended October 31, 2023.
Quanex’s Board recently authorized a new $75 million share repurchase program. Repurchases under this program will be made in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors.
Outlook
George Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Demand remains strong, but ongoing supply chain disruptions continue to create day-to-day operational challenges and ultimately reduce our visibility in the near-term. Based on current fundamentals, trends, and recent conversations with our customers, we are taking a measured approach to 2023 guidance. As such, we believe it would be premature to give guidance at this time. However, we feel confident in our ability to realize margin expansion on a consolidated basis in fiscal 2023, second half weighted, and we remain cautiously optimistic for the year. We intend to re-visit guidance when we report earnings for the first quarter of 2023.”

Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers
Adjusted Net Income (defined as net income further adjusted to exclude purchase price accounting inventory step-ups, transaction costs, certain severance charges, gain/loss on the sale of certain fixed assets, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, other net adjustments related to foreign currency transaction gain/loss and effective tax rates reflecting impacts of adjustments on a with and without basis) and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that Quanex believes provide a consistent basis for comparison between periods and more accurately reflects operational performance, as they are not influenced by certain income or expense items not affecting ongoing operations. EBITDA (defined as net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other, net) and Adjusted EBITDA (defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude purchase price accounting inventory step-ups, transaction costs, certain severance charges, gain/loss on the sale of certain fixed assets, restructuring charges and asset impairment charges) are non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to measure operational performance and assist with financial decision-making. Net Debt is defined as total debt (outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility plus financial lease obligations) less cash and cash equivalents. The leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that the Company believes is useful to investors and financial analysts in evaluating Quanex’s leverage. In addition, with certain limited adjustments, this leverage ratio is the basis for a key covenant in the Company’s credit agreement. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure calculated using cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Quanex uses the Free Cash Flow metric to measure operational and cash management performance and assist with financial decision-making. Free Cash Flow is measured before application of certain contractual commitments (including capital lease obligations), and accordingly is not a true measure of the Company’s residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Quanex believes Free Cash Flow is useful to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s financial and cash management performance. Quanex believes that the presented non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for comparison between periods and will assist investors in understanding the Company’s financial performance when comparing results to other investment opportunities. The presented non-GAAP measures may not be the same as those used by other companies. Quanex does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
