Atkore Inc. Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
Atkore Inc. (ATKR) announced a decrease in net sales by 4.2% to $798.5 million and a decrease in net income by 20.2% to $138.4 million for the fiscal 2024 first quarter. The company also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.32 per share of common stock.
Positive
Double-digit organic volume growth in the first quarter
Increased full-year Adjusted net income per diluted share outlook to $16.50 to $17.50
The declaration of the first quarterly dividend as part of the new dividend program
Negative
Net sales decreased by $35.3 million or 4.2%
Gross profit decreased by $43.8 million, or 13.1%
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $50.3 million, or 19.1%
The reported decline in net sales and net income for Atkore reflects a contraction in profitability, which is a critical indicator of a company's financial health. The decrease in average selling prices, attributed to pricing normalization, suggests a potential reversion to mean pricing levels after a period of inflated prices. This could imply a more competitive market or reduced demand, both of which may affect future revenue streams. The reported increase in the full-year Adjusted net income per diluted share outlook despite the quarterly declines may indicate management's confidence in the company's ability to recover and grow in the remaining quarters of the fiscal year. However, investors should consider the risks associated with such forecasts, particularly in volatile market conditions.
Furthermore, the initiation of a quarterly dividend indicates a shift towards a shareholder return strategy, which could attract a different investor base, particularly income-focused shareholders. This strategic move may signal a maturing business model or a transition from a growth phase to a more stable phase of business operations. It is also noteworthy that the company is engaging in share repurchases , which could signal management's belief that the stock is undervalued or a desire to consolidate ownership. Both dividends and share repurchases can have a positive effect on the stock's desirability, potentially leading to an appreciation in stock price.
The performance of Atkore in the Electrical and Safety & Infrastructure segments provides insight into the broader industry trends. The electrical segment's decline in sales and Adjusted EBITDA may reflect broader economic trends, such as reduced construction activity or shifts in commodity prices, particularly steel, copper and PVC resin. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margins suggests that cost reductions have not kept pace with the decline in selling prices, which could be a concern if the trend continues. Conversely, the growth in the Safety & Infrastructure segment, albeit with lower profitability, suggests that there may be pockets of resilience within the company's portfolio.
The company's reference to strong secular trends driving future growth may indicate underlying market forces, such as infrastructure development or renewable energy investments, that could benefit Atkore in the long-term. The ability to leverage these trends will be critical for the company's sustained growth and market position. The mention of a new facility ramp-up suggests an investment in capacity expansion, which could enhance future revenue generation if market demand aligns with this increased production capability.
The reported figures suggest that Atkore is experiencing the effects of macroeconomic factors, such as pricing pressures and input cost variability. The expected pricing normalization could be indicative of a broader economic shift towards stabilization following periods of high volatility. This normalization process can be double-edged; it may lead to reduced revenue but also signal a return to a more predictable market environment, which is beneficial for long-term strategic planning.
The economic value of solar tax credits being transferred to customers is a specific financial mechanism that reflects the increasing role of renewable energy incentives in corporate finance. This could potentially reduce immediate revenue but may strengthen customer relationships and align with government policies promoting sustainability. The company's ability to navigate these incentives will be important in maintaining competitive advantage in sectors influenced by environmental considerations.

Net sales decreased by $35.3 million or 4.2% to $798.5 million for the three months ended December 29, 2023, compared to $833.8 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to decreased average selling prices across the Company’s products of $130.4 million as a result of expected pricing normalization and the economic value of solar tax credits to be transferred to certain customers of $14.9 million . This decrease was partially offset by increased sales volume of $106.2 million .
Gross profit decreased by $43.8 million , or 13.1% , to $290.5 million for the three months ended December 29, 2023, as compared to $334.4 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin decreased to 36.4% for the three months ended December 29, 2023, as compared to 40.1% for the prior-year period. Gross profit decreased primarily due to declines in average selling prices of $130.4 million partially offset by slower declines in the costs of steel, copper and PVC resin of $62.3 million .
Net income decreased by $35.1 million , or 20.2% , to $138.4 million for the three months ended December 29, 2023 compared to $173.5 million for the prior-year period primarily due to lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative costs and intangible amortization, partially offset by lower income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $50.3 million , or 19.1% , to $213.5 million for the three months ended December 29, 2023 compared to $263.8 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit.
Net income per diluted share prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) was $3.61 for the three months ended December 29, 2023, as compared to $4.20 in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share decreased by $0.49 to $4.12 for the three months ended December 29, 2023, as compared to $4.61 in the prior year period. The decrease in diluted earnings per share is primarily attributed to lower net income.

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, 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 or 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, 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.
