Strong Sales Growth and Margin Expansion Continue; Capacity Expansion On-Track; Announcing Goal to Reach 1 Billion Pounds of Recycle Annually; Raising Full-Year Fiscal 2021 Outlook
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2021 HIGHLIGHTS
OUTLOOK HIGHLIGHTS
The AZEK Company Inc. (the “Company” or “AZEK”) (NYSE: AZEK), an industry-leading manufacturer of beautiful, low-maintenance and sustainable residential and commercial building products, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2020 of its fiscal year 2021.
CEO COMMENTS
“Demand trends have continued their momentum, enabling us to deliver strong first quarter sales growth as well as increased confidence in our outlook for the remainder of the year,” commented Jesse Singh, AZEK’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our team continues to do an excellent job of executing against our key strategic initiatives, including new product launches as well as our capacity expansion and recycling programs, which is evident in our robust growth profile and significant margin improvement during the quarter. Our capacity expansion program remains on track as we execute against the second phase of implementation and finalize site selection for our new western U.S. facility.”
“Consistent with our mission to accelerate the use of recycled materials and further divert plastic waste from landfills, we are announcing a goal of utilizing 1 billion pounds of recycled scrap and waste annually by the end of 2026. We believe in revolutionizing outdoor living to build a more sustainable future. We are also honored to have recently been recognized as a 2021 Green Innovation of the Year award winner in recognition of our FULL-CIRCLE PVC Recycling Program by Green Builder Media and are excited about the increasing momentum around the program. Finally, our continued focus on innovation is demonstrated by the recent launch of our new high-performance TimberTech AZEK Landmark Collection which is the latest extension of our premium capped polymer decking and leverages advanced technology to create the most natural on-trend look of rustic, reclaimed wood. The combination of unique design and cascading colors creates a stunning, nature-inspired visual that’s never been seen in the industry,” concluded Mr. Singh.
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2021 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 increased by $46.2 million, or 27.8%, to $212.3 million from $166.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase was driven by higher sales growth in our Residential segment. Net sales for the Residential segment increased by 36.8%, and net sales for the Commercial segment decreased by 12.3%, in each case as compared to the prior year period.
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 increased by $21.7 million, or 42.3%, to $73.0 million from $51.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Gross margin increased 350 basis points to 34.4%, compared to 30.9% for the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by the strong results in the Residential segment during the quarter as well as overhead leverage on fixed costs. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin increased 180 basis points to 41.8%, compared to 40.0% for the prior year period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.6 million to $53.0 million, or 25.0% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 from $43.5 million, or 26.2% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to stock-based compensation expense, ongoing public company expenses and personnel costs.
Net income was $10.2 million, or $0.07 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to net loss of ($9.8) million, or ($0.09) per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily due to an increase in net sales and a decrease in interest expense resulting from the reduced principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement and 2021 Senior Notes. Net margin was 4.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to net margin of (5.9%) for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
Adjusted Net Income was $23.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $3.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 increased by $14.6 million, or 43.3%, to $48.5 million from $33.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase was mainly driven by sales growth in the Residential segment and higher gross margin partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanded 240 basis points to 22.8% from 20.4% for the prior year period.
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2021 SEGMENT RESULTS
Residential Segment
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 increased by $50.0 million, or 36.8%, to $185.6 million from $135.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales in our Deck, Rail & Accessories and Exteriors businesses.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 increased by $19.9 million, or 51.0% to $58.8 million from $38.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase was mainly driven by higher sales, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanded 300 basis points to 31.7% from 28.7% for the prior year period.
Commercial Segment
Net sales were $26.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $30.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 12.3%. The Commercial segment has greater exposure to the broader economy, and the decrease was primarily attributable to declining net sales in our Scranton Products and Vycom businesses as the effects of COVID-19 continued to impact certain end markets demand during the quarter.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $3.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to $3.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The slight increase was primarily driven by lower manufacturing and selling, general and administrative expenses offset by declining net sales. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 12.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to 10.0% for the prior year period.
BALANCE SHEET, CASH FLOW and LIQUIDITY
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $210.0 million and approximately $143.3 million available for future borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. Total debt as of December 31, 2020 was $463.3 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 versus a use of $56.4 million in the prior year first quarter.
OUTLOOK
“We believe that the strength and flexibility of our business model position us well to deliver long term value and outperformance in various market environments. As we look ahead to the remainder of our fiscal 2021, we have increased our outlook as steady demand continues across our Residential segment. We have improved visibility on channel inventory levels and downstream demand from our pre-season or “early buy” program, balanced by a macro-economic environment that continues to carry a level of uncertainty. Our second fiscal quarter is historically one where inventory is manufactured and positioned in the channel ahead of the building season. In fiscal 2021, we expect this staging to extend more into the third fiscal quarter given demand and production timing. We continue to see steady demand within our Residential segment across both our Deck, Rail & Accessories and Exteriors businesses supported by favorable repair and remodel, material conversion and outdoor living tailwinds, partially offset by reduced demand within our Commercial segment, which has been adversely impacted by the macro-environment,” added Mr. Singh.
AZEK is raising its outlook for the full year fiscal 2021. AZEK now expects consolidated net sales growth of 14% to 18% year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA growth in the 19% to 23% range year-over-year. From a segment perspective, AZEK expects Residential segment net sales growth in the 17% to 21% range year-over-year, partially offset by a mid-single digit decline in Commercial segment net sales, which is consistent with prior guidance.
For the second quarter fiscal 2021 guidance, AZEK expects consolidated net sales growth in the 13% to 15% range year-over-year, driven by strong Residential segment growth in the high-teens range, partially offset by an expected high-teens decline in the Commercial segment. AZEK is expecting Adjusted EBITDA growth in the 18% to 22% range year-over-year.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this earnings release, including statements regarding future operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward looking statements may be identified by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "expect," "objective," "plan," "potential," "seek," "grow," "target," "if," and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about potential new products and product innovation, statements regarding the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, statements about the markets in which we operate, including growth of our various markets and growth in the use of engineered products, and our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this earnings release are forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the section titled "Risk Factors" set forth in Part II, Item 1A of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2020. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this earnings release may not occur and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should read this earnings release with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.
These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this earnings release. While we believe that such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. We disclaim any intention and undertake no obligation to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this release to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement our earnings release and consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or (“GAAP”), we use certain non-GAAP performance financial measures, as described within this earnings release, to provide investors with additional useful information about our financial performance, to enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and to allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance from management’s view and because we believe they provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. Our GAAP financial results include significant expenses that are not indicative of our ongoing operations as detailed within this earnings release.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our earnings release and our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit before depreciation and amortization, business transformation costs and acquisition costs as described below. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is equal to Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net sales.
We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) before amortization, share-based compensation costs, business transformation costs, acquisition costs, initial public offering costs and certain other costs as described below.
We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted, to reflect the conversion or exercise, as applicable, of all outstanding shares of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of our common stock.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and amortization and by adding to or subtracting therefrom items of expense and income as described above.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Net Leverage is equal to gross debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net Leverage are useful to investors because they help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by certain expenses that can vary from company to company depending on, among other things, its financing, capital structure and the method by which its assets were acquired, and can also vary significantly from period to period. We also add back depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation because we do not consider them indicative of our core operating performance. We believe their exclusion facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Therefore, we believe that showing gross profit and net income, as adjusted to remove the impact of these expenses, is helpful to investors in assessing our gross profit and net income performance in a way that is similar to the way management assesses our performance. Additionally, EBITDA and EBITDA margin are common measures of operating performance in our industry, and we believe they facilitate operating comparisons. Our management also uses Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. Management considers Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Net Income as useful measures because our cost of sales includes the depreciation of property, plant and equipment used in the production of products and the amortization of various intangibles related to our manufacturing processes. Further, management considers Net Leverage as a useful measure to assess our borrowing capacity.
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net Leverage have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
Because of these limitations, none of these metrics should be considered indicative of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Depending on certain circumstances, Segment Adjusted EBITDA may be calculated differently, from time to time, than our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are further discussed under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents a measure of segment profit reported to our chief operating decision maker for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources to a segment and assessing its performance. For more information regarding how Segment Adjusted EBITDA is determined, see our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 filed with the SEC.

____________________________
(1)
Effective as of September 30, 2020, we revised the definition of Adjusted Net Income to remove depreciation expense. The prior periods have been recast to reflect the change.
(2)
Stock-based compensation costs reflect expenses related to our initial public offering. Expense related to our recurring long-term incentive plan is excluded from the Adjusted Net Income reconciliation.
(3)
Business transformation costs reflect consulting and other costs related to the transformation of the senior management team of $0.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2019.
(4)
Acquisition costs reflect costs directly related to completed acquisitions $0.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2019.
(5)
Other costs include costs for legal expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and costs related to an incentive plan and other ancillary expenses associated with the initial public offering of $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
(6)
Tax impact of adjustments are based on applying a combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate of 24.5% for both the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Outlook
We have not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA guidance to its most comparable GAAP measure as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as the variability in the provision for income taxes, the estimates for warranty and rebate accruals and timing of the gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. Such reconciling items that impact Adjusted EBITDA have not occurred, are outside of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most comparable GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to these reconciling items could have a significant effect on our Adjusted EBITDA guidance and future GAAP results.
