Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (NYSE: WMS) (“ADS” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative water management solutions in the stormwater and onsite septic wastewater industries today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results

  • Net sales increased 25.2% to $884.2 million
  • Net income increased 101.0% to $153.4 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased 59.7% to $263.2 million

Year-to-Date Fiscal 2023 Results

  • Net sales increased 30.7% to $1,798.4 million
  • Net income increased 122.8% to $341.9 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased 69.7% to $562.2 million
  • Cash provided by operating activities increased 360.6% to $437.0 million
  • Free cash flow (Non-GAAP) increased $330.4 million to $361.5 million

Scott Barbour, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADS commented, "We achieved record second quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA this quarter. Sales growth of 25% was driven by favorable pricing at both ADS and Infiltrator, strong volume growth in Allied Products, and growth in the residential and agriculture end markets. In addition, we continued to make progress bringing down elevated levels of backlog, and lead times have improved in most geographies and product lines. The favorable top line growth we achieved in the second quarter was broad based across our construction and agriculture end markets, with notable strength in our priority states."

Barbour continued, "As we entered September and into October, we began to see the impact of the uncertain macroeconomic environment in isolated pockets across certain geographies and product lines. In particular, our Infiltrator and retail businesses began to feel the impact of channel destocking as well as some project slowdowns within our non-residential business in certain geographies. However, demand remains strong for residential land development and horizontal construction, particularly for warehouses and distribution centers. And while inflationary pressures have been persistent throughout the year, we are beginning to see some abatement, which when combined with our productivity initiatives position us well moving into the second half of Fiscal 2023.”

Barbour concluded, "Taking this into account, we are lowering our fiscal year guidance for revenue to our original Fiscal 2023 guidance of $3.100 billion to $3.200 billion. While uncertainty remains around general economic conditions, our leading indicators including project identification, quoting, book-to-bill and order trends give us confidence we can achieve the updated revenue guidance issued today. Importantly, our Adjusted EBITDA guidance remains unchanged as we execute on actions to improve cost and efficiency within the business."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results

Net sales increased $177.7 million, or 25.2%, to $884.2 million, as compared to $706.5 million in the prior year quarter. Domestic pipe sales increased $116.5 million, or 30.3%, to $501.0 million. Domestic allied products & other sales increased $56.5 million, or 38.8%, to $202.2 million. Infiltrator sales increased $4.8 million, or 3.3%, to $150.7 million. These increases were driven by double-digit sales growth in the U.S. construction and agriculture end markets. International sales increased $9.9 million, or 15.6%, to $73.5 million, driven by growth in the Canadian, Mexican and Exports businesses.

Gross profit increased $119.9 million, or 59.9%, to $320.0 million as compared to $200.1 million in the prior year. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to the increase in sales volume and favorable pricing on pipe, onsite septic and allied products. This increase was partially offset by inflationary pressures on manufacturing and transportation costs.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased $98.4 million, or 59.7%, to $263.2 million, as compared to $164.8 million in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the factors mentioned above. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 29.8% as compared to 23.3% in the prior year.

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures for Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Year-to-Date Fiscal 2023 Results

Net sales increased $422.6 million, or 30.7%, to $1,798.4 million, as compared to $1,375.8 million in the prior year quarter. Domestic pipe sales increased $267.3 million, or 35.2%, to $1,025.8 million. Domestic allied products & other sales increased $128.4 million, or 47.1%, to $401.1 million. Infiltrator sales increased $44.4 million, or 16.3%, to $317.0 million. These increases were driven by double-digit sales growth in the U.S. construction end markets. International sales increased $16.0 million, or 12.4%, to $145.0 million, driven by strong sales growth in the Mexican and Exports businesses.

Gross profit increased $270.9 million, or 67.5%, to $672.1 million as compared to $401.2 million in the prior year. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to the favorable pricing on pipe, onsite septic and allied products. This was partially offset by inflationary pressures of higher material and transportation costs along with higher manufacturing costs.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) increased $230.9 million, or 69.7%, to $562.2 million, as compared to $331.4 million in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the factors mentioned above. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 31.3% as compared to 24.1% in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). ADS management uses non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results available in the accompanying tables.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes references to organic results, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are not intended to be substitutes for those reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that comprise net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, non-cash charges and certain other expenses. The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and the Company’s board of directors to assess financial performance and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s business strategies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as the Company’s management and board of directors. In order to provide investors with a meaningful reconciliation, the Company has provided below reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that comprises cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is a measure used by management and the Company’s board of directors to assess the Company’s ability to generate cash. Accordingly, management believes that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our ability to generate cash flow from operations after capital expenditures. In order to provide investors with a meaningful reconciliation, the Company has provided below a reconciliation of cash flow from operating activities to Free Cash Flow.

The following tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income and Free Cash Flow to Cash Flow from Operating Activities, the most comparable GAAP measures, for each of the periods indicated.
