MasterBrand Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

MasterBrand, Inc. (NYSE: MBC, the “Company,” or “MasterBrand”), the largest residential cabinet manufacturer in North America, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results.

“End market choppiness increased throughout the holiday season resulting in unanticipated volume declines which delayed the realization of previously implemented price increases and limited our ability to sufficiently flex operations in the quarter,” said Dave Banyard, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite market headwinds, we continued to make great strides as an organization, with our Supreme acquisition integration proceeding as planned and further progress across all our strategic initiatives, specifically Tech Enabled. These efforts, coupled with our continuous improvement culture, should help position the Company for future growth when stronger demand returns.”

“As an organization, we are committed to delivering superior financial returns to our shareholders. We believe our business model, strategy and planned investments in the Company will allow us to outperform our end markets in 2025 and beyond,” Banyard continued.

Fourth Quarter 2024

Net sales were $667.7 million, a decrease of 1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by volume declines of 6% and lower net average selling price (ASP) of 4%. These declines were largely offset by 9% growth from our Supreme acquisition. Gross profit was $203.3 million, compared to $223.1 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin decreased 250 basis points to 30.4% on lower net ASP and volumes, $4.2 million of discrete items in the prior year quarter that did not repeat, and increased depreciation. This was partially offset by the addition of Supreme, favorable variable compensation, and additional cost savings from our ongoing strategic initiatives and continuous improvement programs.

Net income was $14.0 million, compared to $36.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower gross profit margin as discussed above, discrete acquisition-related costs, higher interest expense, and increased depreciation, partially offset by reduced variable compensation, a gain on asset sale, positive net income contribution from Supreme and lower income taxes. Net income margin was 2.1% compared to 5.3% in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $74.6 million, compared to $85.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ decreased 150 basis points to 11.2%, driven by a decrease in gross profit margin.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.11 compared to $0.28 in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ was $0.21 compared to $0.35 in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Full Year 2024

Net sales were $2.7 billion, a decrease of 1% compared to 2023, driven by lower net ASP of 4% and volume declines of 1%. These declines were largely offset by 4% growth from our Supreme acquisition. Gross profit was $877.0 million, compared to $901.4 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin decreased 60 basis points to 32.5% on lower net ASP and volumes due to a softer end market environment. This was partially offset by lower variable compensation, savings from continuous improvement efforts and cost actions.

Net income was $125.9 million, compared to $182.0 million in 2023, primarily due to acquisition-related costs, lower gross profit, restructuring charges, higher interest expense, incremental investments in our strategic initiatives, and higher depreciation and amortization expense, more than offsetting lower variable compensation, net income contribution from Supreme and continuous improvement efforts. Net income margin was 4.7% compared to 6.7% in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $363.6 million, compared to $383.4 million in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ decreased 60 basis points to 13.5%, compared to 14.1% in the prior year.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.96 compared to $1.40 in 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ was $1.37 compared to $1.58 in 2023.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

As of December 29, 2024, the Company had $120.6 million in cash and $405.4 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. Total debt was $1,007.8 million and our ratio of total debt to net income from the most recent trailing twelve months was 8.0x as of December 29, 2024. For the same period, net debt¹ was $887.2 million and our ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA¹ was 2.4x.

Operating cash flow was $292.0 million for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2024, compared to $405.6 million in the fifty-three weeks ended December 31, 2023. This decline was due to a benefit in the prior year from a strategic inventory build release, which more than offset the benefit from working capital improvements in fiscal 2024. Free cash flow¹ was $211.1 million for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2024, compared to $348.3 million for the fifty-three weeks ended December 31, 2023.

During the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 371 thousand shares of common stock for approximately $6.5 million. No shares were repurchased in the quarter ended December 29, 2024.

2025 Financial Outlook

For full year 2025, the Company expects the following:

• Net sales year-over-year increase of mid single-digit percentage
  • Organic net sales flat
  • Acquisition-related net sales increase of mid single-digit percentage
• Adjusted EBITDA^1,2 in the range of $380 to $410 million, with related adjusted EBITDA margin^1,2 of roughly 13.5% to 14.3%
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share^1,2 in the range of $1.40 to $1.57

The Company expects organic net sales performance to outperform the underlying market demand of down low single-digits year-over-year, as new products and channel specific offerings, and previously implemented price actions gain traction.

This 2025 Financial Outlook only reflects the impact of those tariffs in effect as of the date of this release. It does not reflect any other potential tariff impacts on Company costs or end market demand. The Company believes the dynamic nature of the tariffs, specifically the uncertainty of implementation, potential timing and duration, limits the usefulness of estimating this information. Should other tariff impacts become more certain, the Company expects to update its outlook accordingly.

“Our full year 2025 guidance reflects our commitment to growth, with year-on-year net sales increases driven by our Supreme acquisition and share gains in our core business,” said Andi Simon, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Given the continued softness in our end markets, we have thoroughly reviewed and prioritized our investment spending, with the goal of preserving both near-term financial performance and progress on our long-term financial targets. We believe this approach, coupled with targeted cost reductions and further continuous improvement savings, will allow us to resume adjusted EBITDA margin expansion for the full year 2025.”

1 - See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the corresponding financial tables at the end of this press release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures.

2 - We have not provided a reconciliation of our fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS guidance because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and which may be excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions used for historical non-GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in this earnings release, certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules have been included. It is our intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our methods of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies for these or similar non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.

We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”), free cash flow, net debt, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We evaluate the performance of our business based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBITDA as a performance evaluation measure because interest expense is related to corporate functions, as opposed to operations. For that reason, we believe EBITDA is a useful metric to investors in evaluating our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results and special items from EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted net income is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results, including non-cash amortization expense, which is not deemed to be indicative of the results of current or future operations, and special items from net income. Adjusted net income margin is calculated as adjusted net income divided by net sales. Adjusted diluted EPS is a measure of our diluted earnings per share excluding non-operational results and special items. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they are representative of our core operations and are used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a useful measure to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities available for the execution of our business strategy, and is used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Net debt is defined as total balance sheet debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides a measure to compare debt less cash and cash equivalents across periods on a consistent basis. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing net debt by the trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is used by management to assess our financial leverage and ability to service our debt obligations.

As required by SEC rules, detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the financial statement section of this earnings release. We have not provided a reconciliation of our fiscal 2025 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS guidance because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted diluted EPS. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions used for historical non-GAAP measures.

TICK LEGEND:

[1] Acquisition-related costs are transaction and integration costs, including legal, accounting and other professional fees, severance, stock-based compensation, and other integration related costs. These charges are primarily recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing and complexity of the underlying acquisition related activities and are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. The acquisition-related costs in fiscal 2024 are associated with the acquisition of Supreme Cabinetry Brands, Inc., which was announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and closed early in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, and are comprised primarily of professional fees.

[2] Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 reporting, management began adding back amortization of intangible assets in calculating adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS for all periods presented. Non-cash amortization expenses are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. Prior period information has been recast to reflect the updated presentation.

[3] Restructuring charges are nonrecurring costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and may consist of workforce reduction costs, facility closure costs, cessation of operations, and other costs to maintain certain facilities where operations have ceased, but which we are still responsible for. The restructuring charges for all periods presented include workforce reduction costs and other costs to maintain facilities that have been closed, but not yet sold. The fiscal 2024 restructuring charges also include an asset impairment charge associated with the decision to exit a leased manufacturing facility.

[4] Restructuring-related charges are expenses directly related to restructuring initiatives that do not represent normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate the business, but cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories from exiting product lines and gains/losses on the sale of facilities closed as a result of restructuring actions. Restructuring-related adjustments are recoveries of previously recorded restructuring-related charges resulting from changes in estimates of accruals recorded in prior periods. The restructuring-related adjustments in fiscal 2023 are recoveries of previously recorded restructuring-related charges resulting from changes in estimates of accruals recorded in prior periods.

[5] Non-recurring components of interest expense are one-time costs associated with the refinancing of debt facilities and usage of temporary debt facilities. The non-recurring components of interest expense were incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 related primarily to non-recurring write-offs of deferred financing costs resulting from the debt restructuring transaction. These charges are classified as interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.

[6] Gain on sale of asset relates to a gain resulting from the sale of facilities and land on December 12, 2024. The location was previously closed in conjunction with the consolidation of our warehouse facilities to enable efficiencies and increase annual savings. This facility sold for a purchase price of $6.6 million, resulting in a $4.3 million gain recognized as a separate component of non-operating income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

[7] We exclude the impact of actuarial gains and losses related to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan as they are not deemed indicative of future operations. In addition, during 2024, the Company offered a lump-sum benefit payout option to certain plan participants related to the decision to terminate our defined benefit pension plan, resulting in a $2.9 million non-cash settlement charge.

[8] Purchase accounting cost of products sold relates to the fair market value adjustment required under GAAP for inventory obtained in the acquisition of Supreme Cabinetry Brands, Inc. All inventory obtained was sold in the third quarter of 2024.

[9] Separation costs represent one-time costs incurred directly by MasterBrand related to the separation from Fortune Brands.

[10] In order to calculate Adjusted Net Income, each of the items described in Items [1] - [9] above reflect tax effects based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 25.0 percent, inclusive of recurring permanent differences and the net effect of state income taxes and excluding the impact of discrete income tax items. Discrete items are recorded in the relevant period identified and include, but are not limited to, changes in judgment or estimates of uncertain tax positions related to prior periods, return-to-provision adjustments, the tax effect of relevant stock-based compensation items, and certain changes in valuation allowances for the realizability of deferred tax assets. Management believes this approach assists investors in understanding the income tax provision and the estimated annual effective income tax rate related to ongoing operations.
