(See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section, Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosure table, Selected Segment Data table and reconciliation tables for additional information)

George Wilson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our second quarter results came in as expected and we continue to execute. Volumes in North America increased in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of the year, which is encouraging and follows normal seasonality in our business. Volumes in Europe were challenged during the quarter as low consumer confidence continues to impact demand. However, we continue to operate efficiently and were able to realize margin expansion in both of our North American operating segments and on a consolidated basis for the second quarter of 2024. Our continued focus on generating cash and managing working capital enabled us to pay down the remaining $10 million balance on our revolver."

Second Quarter 2024 Results Summary

Quanex reported net sales of $266.2 million during the three months ended April 30, 2024, which represents a decrease of 2.7% compared to $273.5 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease was largely attributable to softer market demand in the Company's European Fenestration and North American Cabinet Components segments. Quanex reported a 1.8% increase in net sales for the second quarter in its North American Fenestration segment primarily due to improved volume. In its North American Cabinet Components segment, the Company reported a decline of 4.6% in net sales for the second quarter as a result of lower volume and decreased pricing related to raw material index pricing mechanisms. Excluding foreign exchange impact, Quanex realized a decrease in net sales of 10.4% for the second quarter in its European Fenestration segment mainly due to lower volume and pricing pressure. (See Sales Analysis table for additional information)

The increase in adjusted earnings for the three months ended April 30, 2024 was mostly attributable to a decline in raw material costs, lower income tax expense and lower interest expense.

Balance Sheet Update

As of April 30, 2024, Quanex had total debt of $55.2 million (primarily finance leases) and the Company's leverage ratio of Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA continued to improve and Quanex is Net Debt free. As of April 30, 2024, the Company's LTM Net Income was $80.7 million and LTM Adjusted EBITDA was $158.5 million. (See Non-GAAP Terminology Definitions and Disclaimers section, Net Debt Reconciliation table and Last Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table for additional information)

Outlook

Mr. Wilson stated, "As expected, we are starting to see a seasonal uptick in the demand for our products in North America. Market dynamics in Europe continue to be challenging and volumes are soft; however, we are performing well, and our business is resilient. Based on results to date, conversations with our customers, recent demand trends, and the latest macro data, we are reaffirming our prior guidance for fiscal 2024. On a consolidated basis, we continue to estimate net sales of approximately $1.1 billion, which should result in approximately $145 million to $150 million of Adjusted EBITDA* in fiscal 2024."

*When Quanex provides expectations for Adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measures is generally not available without unreasonable effort. Certain items required for such a reconciliation are outside of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted or estimated, such as the provision for income taxes.

Recent Events

As previously disclosed on April 22, 2024, Quanex announced it had reached agreement with Tyman plc (LSE:TYMN) ("Tyman") on the terms of a recommended cash and share offer (the "Acquisition"), under which Quanex will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Tyman for approximately $1.1 billion in enterprise value. The full terms and conditions of the Acquisition are set out in a joint announcement released on April 22, 2024 under Rule 2.7 of the UK Takeover Code. A copy of this announcement is available on the Quanex website at https://www.roadto2b.com, subject to certain access restrictions. The Acquisition has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Quanex and Tyman and is currently expected to close in the second half of the calendar year 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including shareholder approval from both Tyman and Quanex shareholders and regulatory approvals.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

The Company has also scheduled a conference call for Friday, June 7, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. ET (10:00 a.m. CT) to discuss the release. A link to the live audio webcast will be available on Quanex's website at http://www.quanex.com in the Investors section under Presentations & Events.

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), Adjusted EBITDA and LTM 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.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements that use the words "estimated," "expect," "could," "should," "believe," "will," "might," or similar words reflecting future expectations or beliefs are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: impacts from public health issues (including pandemics, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic) on the economy and the demand for Quanex's products, timing estimates or any other expectations related to the Acquisition, the Company's future operating results, future financial condition, future uses of cash and other expenditures, expenses and tax rates, expectations relating to Quanex's industry, and the Company's future growth, including any guidance discussed in this press release. The statements and guidance set forth in this release are based on current expectations. Actual results or events may differ materially from this release. For a complete discussion of factors that may affect Quanex's future performance, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the sections entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors". Any forward-looking statements in this press release are made as of the date hereof, and Quanex undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or events.

Important Additional Information will be Filed with the SEC

In connection with the Acquisition, Quanex filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a definitive proxy statement on June 6, 2024 (the "Proxy Statement"). Before making any voting decision, Quanex's stockholders are urged to read the Proxy Statement and other relevant documents filed or to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Acquisition or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement carefully and in their entirety because they contain important information about the Acquisition and the share issuance proposal. Quanex's stockholders and investors will be able to obtain, without charge, a copy of the Proxy Statement and other relevant documents filed with the SEC from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov or directing a written request to Quanex (Attention: Investor Relations), at 945 Bunker Hill Road, Suite 900, Houston, Texas 77024 or from Quanex's website at https://investors.quanex.com.

No Offer or Solicitation

The information contained in this press release is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or buy or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to the Acquisition or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. In particular, this press release is not an offer of securities for sale into the United States or in any other jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made in the United States absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, such registration requirements. Any securities issued in the Acquisition are anticipated to be issued in reliance upon available exemptions from such registration requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. The Acquisition will be made solely by means of the scheme document to be published by Tyman in due course, or (if applicable) pursuant to an offer document to be published by Quanex, which (as applicable) would contain the full terms and conditions of the Acquisition. Any decision in respect of, or other response to, the Acquisition, should be made only on the basis of the information contained in such document(s) and the Proxy Statement. If, in the future, Quanex ultimately seeks to implement the Acquisition by way of a takeover offer or otherwise in a manner that is not exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, that offer will be made in compliance with applicable US laws and regulations.

This press release does not constitute a prospectus or a prospectus exempted document.

Participants in the Solicitation

Quanex and certain of its directors and executive officers and employees may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Quanex in respect of the Acquisition, including the share issuance proposal. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of the stockholders of Quanex in connection with the Acquisition, including a description of their direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, are set forth in the Proxy Statement. Additional information regarding Quanex's directors and executive officers is contained in Quanex's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 and its annual meeting proxy statement on Schedule 14A, dated January 25, 2024, which are filed with the SEC.
