The AZEK Company Inc. (NYSE: AZEK) (“AZEK” or the “Company”), the industry-leading manufacturer of beautiful, low-maintenance and environmentally sustainable outdoor living products, including TimberTech® Decking and Railing, Versatex® and AZEK® Trim and StruXure® pergolas, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
CEO COMMENTS
"The AZEK team delivered strong financial results that reflect our team’s focus on consistently delivering growth and margin expansion,” said Jesse Singh, CEO of The AZEK Company. “The successful execution of our strategic growth initiatives in fiscal 2024 enabled us to deliver high-single-digit year-over-year Residential sell-through growth and 12% year-over-year net sales growth in a challenging market. Our Deck, Rail & Accessories business, which makes up the majority of the company, grew 18% year-over-year in fiscal year 2024 and is well positioned for 2025. Our focus on manufacturing productivity, sourcing savings, recycling and operating leverage delivered net profit margin expansion of 600 basis points year over year to a record 10.6% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion of 560 basis points year over year to a record 26.3%. We generated strong cash flow, refinanced our debt with more favorable terms, invested in future manufacturing and recycling capacity, and returned $243 million to shareholders through our share repurchase program. Our differentiated top line and bottom line results speak to the effectiveness and resilience of our strategy, the strength of AZEK’s innovative products, and the dedication of our team members and business partners who share our vision. Our multi-year track record of outperformance across various market conditions gives us confidence in our growth and margin expansion through AZEK-specific initiatives in fiscal year 2025 and beyond,” continued Mr. Singh.
“During the fiscal fourth quarter, Deck, Rail & Accessories sell-through grew high single digits and Exteriors grew low single digits year over year, improving modestly relative to the prior two quarters. Overall Residential segment sell-through grew approximately high single digits, while net sales declined approximately 6% year over year driven by the previously discussed $35 million shift in earlier product purchases by our channel partners in June to ensure strong service levels,” said Mr. Singh.
“We see incremental sales momentum from our recent new product launches and are excited about our recently announced slate of new product platforms and innovations for 2025, including TimberTech Reliance Rail, TimberTech Fulton Rail, and TrimLogic, expanding our access to nearly $2 billion of market opportunity. Reliance Rail, crafted from premium vinyl, and Fulton Rail, made from galvanized steel, further elevate and diversify our railing offerings. TrimLogic, a paintable PVC exterior trim targeting wood conversion, is made with up to 95% recycled PVC material – a breakthrough in sustainable building materials. The launch of these new products highlights our ability to offer a balanced collection of products across decking, railing, and exteriors categories at multiple price points and features. With the unmatched breadth and depth of our best-in-class portfolio, further elevated by our new product launches, we’re accelerating our market expansion into fiscal year 2025,” stated Mr. Singh.
“Our investments in marketing and sales are driving significant momentum in our brand awareness among homeowners, dealers and professional contractors alike. TimberTech Decking and Railing and AZEK Trim were recently recognized by both Builder and Remodeler Magazine's Brand Use Studies as #1 or #2 in the “brand awareness” and “brand most used in the last two years” categories. TimberTech was recognized by Good Housekeeping's 2025 Home Renovation Awards for its innovative Vintage Collection leveraging its Advanced PVC fire-resistant technology. Our accelerating brand relevance and innovative products differentiate us as the leader in sustainable outdoor living building materials,” continued Mr. Singh.
FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2024 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $40.6 million, or 10%, to $348.2 million from $388.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the previously discussed $35 million shift in earlier product purchases by our channel partners in June to ensure strong service levels in addition to the effect of the Vycom business sale in our Commercial segment. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased for our Residential segment by $22.4 million, or 6%, and decreased for our Commercial segment by $18.2 million, or 47%, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in our Commercial segment was primarily due to the sale of the Vycom business. Vycom net sales were $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Gross profit decreased by $15.5 million to $129.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $145.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit margin declined by 10 basis points to 37.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 37.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Adjusted Gross Profit decreased by $16.0 million to $133.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $149.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Net income decreased by $10.9 million to $28.4 million, or $0.19 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $39.2 million, or $0.26 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Net sales for the year ended September 30, 2024 increased by $71.1 million, or 5%, to $1,441.4 million from $1,370.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume in our Residential segment attributable to key growth initiatives, including channel expansion, new products and downstream sales and marketing investments, partially offset by the effect of the sale of the Vycom business in our Commercial segment. Net sales for the year ended September 30, 2024 increased for our Residential segment by $145.9 million, or 12%, and decreased for our Commercial segment by $74.8 million, or 51%, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in our Commercial segment was primarily due to the sale of the Vycom business. Vycom net sales were $3.3 million and $77.1 million for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Gross profit increased by $111.5 million to $541.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2024, compared to $430.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2023.

BALANCE SHEET, CASH FLOW and LIQUIDITY
As of September 30, 2024, AZEK had cash and cash equivalents of $164.0 million and approximately $372.8 million available for future borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility. Total gross debt, including finance leases, as of September 30, 2024, was $529.1 million. During the quarter, AZEK strengthened its financial position by refinancing its ABL and Term Loans, retiring approximately $150 million in funded debt from its balance sheet and reducing its interest rate.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreased by $66.2 million year-over-year to $60.5 million. Free Cash Flow for the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreased by $54.4 million year-over-year to $37.8 million.
During the quarter, AZEK repurchased approximately 1 million initial shares of its Class A common stock under a $50 million accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”). The final settlement of the ASR is based on the volume-weighted average price of our Class A common stock over the repurchase period, subject to certain adjustments. AZEK expects to settle the ASR in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. AZEK also repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares of its Class A common stock on the open market for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $17.5 million. As of September 30, 2024, AZEK had approximately $557.1 million available for repurchases under its existing share repurchase program.
OUTLOOK
“We continue to see positive Residential sell-through growth, and demand indicators from our customer surveys are positive heading into fiscal year 2025. Channel inventories are below historical averages through our fiscal year-end. We also see positive trends in our internal digital and engagement metrics and believe that there is underlying demand that will be realized as the broader market improves. We remain optimistic about the U.S. repair & remodel market. Our fiscal year 2025 planning assumptions assume an approximately flat repair & remodel market, and, consistent with our historical track-record, we would expect to outperform the market driven by AZEK-specific initiatives including material conversion, channel expansion, new product innovations and consumer journey initiatives,” continued Mr. Singh.
For the full-year fiscal 2025, AZEK expects Residential segment net sales in the range of $1.439 to $1.466 billion, representing approximately 5% to 7% year-over-year growth, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $388 to $401 million, representing approximately 6% to 10% year-over-year growth. Residential segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected to be in the range of 27.0% to 27.4%. AZEK expects the Commercial segment’s Scranton Products business to deliver net sales in the range of $71 to $74 million and Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $12 to $14 million.
AZEK expects consolidated net sales in the range of $1.51 to $1.54 billion, representing an increase of approximately 5% to 7% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $400 to $415 million, representing an increase of 5% to 9% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is expected to be in the range of 26.5% to 27.0%. Capital expenditures for fiscal year 2025 are expected to be in the range of $85 to $95 million.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, AZEK expects Residential segment net sales in the range of $247 to $252 million, representing approximately 11% to 13% year-over-year growth, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $57 to $59 million, representing approximately 9% to 13% year-over-year growth. AZEK expects consolidated net sales between $260 to $266 million, representing approximately 8% to 11% year-over-year growth, and Adjusted EBITDA between $58 to $60 million.
“We believe we are well positioned to drive above-market growth in fiscal year 2025 and double-digit growth over the long-term by continuing to execute our growth strategy. We expect to build upon the multi-year margin initiatives we have executed to achieve our annual Adjusted EBITDA Margin target of 27.5%,” concluded Mr. Singh.

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical facts, 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," or the negative of these terms and similar expressions. Projected financial information and performance, including our guidance and outlook as well as statements about our future growth and margin expansion goals and factors, assumptions and variables underlying these projections and goals, are forward-looking statements. Other forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements with respect to our ability to meet the future targets and goals we establish, including our environmental, social and governance targets and the ultimate impact of our actions on our business as well as the expected benefits to the environment, our employees, and our communities; statements about our future expansion plans, capital investments, capacity targets and other future strategic initiatives; statements about any stock repurchase plans, including the expected settlement date of the ASR; statements about potential new products and product innovation; statements regarding the potential impact of global events; statements about future pricing for our products or our raw materials and our ability to offset increases to our raw material costs and other inflationary pressures; statements about the markets in which we operate and the economy more generally, including inflation and interest rates, supply and demand balance, growth of our various markets and growth in the use of engineered products as well as our ability to share in such growth; statements about our production levels; and all other statements with respect to our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions or future events or performance contained in this earnings release are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, 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 and adversely from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. 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 and should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
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, except as required by law.
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 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 and liquidity from management’s view and because we believe they provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance and liquidity over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.
In addition, we provide Adjusted Net Sales excluding Vycom, which is a non-GAAP measure that we define as Consolidated Net Sales excluding the impact from the divested Vycom business. We believe Adjusted Net Sales excluding Vycom is useful to investors because it reflects the ongoing trends in our business following the divestiture of Vycom.
These non-GAAP financial measures 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. Non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. See the accompanying earnings tables for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Depending on certain circumstances, Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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 and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin represent measures 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 and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin are determined, see the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment Results of Operations” set forth in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for fiscal 2023 and our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included therein.

OUTLOOK
We have not reconciled either of Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance to its most comparable GAAP measure as a result of the uncertainty regarding and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as the costs of acquisitions, which are a core part of our ongoing business strategy, and other costs. Such reconciling items that impact Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have not occurred, are outside of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance and future GAAP results.
