Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE:TREX), the world’s #1 brand of
composite decking and railing, innovator of high-performance,
low-maintenance and eco-friendly outdoor living products and a
leading national provider of custom-engineered commercial railing
systems, today reported third quarter 2021 results and year-to-date
performance.
“The strength of the outdoor living repair and remodel sector
and continued broad-based demand for Trex-branded decking and
railing products, together with our expanded manufacturing
capacity, drove impressive revenue growth of 45% in the third
quarter. The accelerated pace of market share conversion from wood
to composites continues, and our ability to capture a large portion
of this expanded addressable market reflects the strength of our
brand and the range of our product portfolio, which supports
consumer decision-making by providing a range of product
aesthetics, features and price points that have broad appeal and
distinct competitive advantages over wood.
“Strong sales growth coupled with disciplined SG&A spending
resulted in significant operating leverage in the third quarter.
This was noteworthy given that Trex, like many other manufacturers,
continued to experience inflationary pressures on raw materials,
labor and other costs. We expect recent price increases to mitigate
those impacts beginning in the fourth quarter.
“Trex continues to prioritize cost reduction projects and
continuous improvement opportunities, primarily related to
automation, modernization, energy efficiency and raw material
processing, while remaining focused on innovation and new product
development”, said Bryan Fairbanks, President and CEO.
Third Quarter 2021 Results
Consolidated net sales for the 2021 third quarter were $336
million, representing a 45% increase year-over-year. Trex
Residential net sales increased 46% to $319 million, with Trex
Commercial contributing $17 million to net sales. The increase in
net sales was largely due to volume growth across all Trex
Residential product lines; however, labor shortages constrained the
extent of the volume growth. The increase also reflects price
increases on certain product lines at Trex Residential that were
realized in early September 2021 to address inflationary pressures
in key raw materials and freight.
Consolidated gross margin for the 2021 third quarter was 38.2%,
including inflationary pressures on raw materials and logistics
cost. This compares to 36.7% in the year-ago quarter, which
included the impact of the $6.5 million Trex Residential warranty
reserve charge. Third quarter 2021 gross margin for Trex
Residential and Trex Commercial were 38.9% and 24.0%, respectively,
compared to 37.4% and 24.4%, respectively, in the 2020 quarter.
Excluding the warranty reserve charge, third quarter 2020
consolidated and Residential margins were 39.5% and 40.4%,
respectively, compared to the 38.2% and 38.9%, respectively, in the
2021 quarter. Excluding the provision, gross margin decreased as a
result of inflationary pressures on key raw materials, higher
transportation costs and labor shortages, partially offset by the
price increase realized in September and increased production
efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $30 million,
or 9.0% of net sales, inclusive of a gain on insurance proceeds of
$3.7 million related to the fire at the Virginia plant in March of
2021. This compares to $28 million, or 12.1% of net sales, in the
2020 third quarter. Excluding the gain on insurance proceeds,
SG&A would have been $34 million or 10.1% of sales.
Net income for the 2021 third quarter grew to $74 million, or
$0.64 per diluted share, both representing an increase of 73%, from
net income of $43 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the 2020
third quarter. EBITDA increased 76% to $108 million and EBITDA
margin was 32.2%. Excluding the warranty charge, third quarter 2020
net income was $48 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, and EBITDA
and EBITDA margin were $68 million and 29.4%, respectively.
Year-to-Date Performance
Net sales year-to-date were $893 million, 37% ahead of the $653
million reported in the prior year. Trex Residential net sales
increased 39% to $851 million, with Trex Commercial contributing an
additional $42 million to net sales. Year-to-date consolidated
gross margin was 38.3%, representing gross margins of 39.2% and
21.2% for Trex Residential and Trex Commercial, respectively.
Excluding the $6.5 million Trex Residential warranty reserve
charge, year-to-date 2020 consolidated and Residential margins were
41.9% and 42.7%, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $97 million,
inclusive of a gain on insurance proceeds of $4.7 million related
to the fire at the Virginia facility, or 10.9% of net sales,
compared to $92 million, or 14.0% of net sales, in the prior
year.
Net income year-to-date was $184 million, or $1.59 per diluted
share, compared to $132 million, or $1.14 per diluted share. EBITDA
increased 44% to $271 million and EBITDA margin was 30.3%, compared
to EBITDA of $188 million and EBITDA margin of 28.8% during the
same period. Excluding the warranty charge, year-to-date 2020 net
income amounted to $137 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, and
EBITDA and EBITDA margin were $194 million and 29.8%,
respectively.
The company repurchased 576,714 shares of its outstanding common
stock during the first nine months of the year totaling $52.3
million.
Recent Developments
On October 26, 2021, the Company announced its plan to add a
third U.S.-based Trex Residential manufacturing facility in Little
Rock, Arkansas. The new campus will sit on nearly 300 acres of land
and will include buildings dedicated to decking and railing
production, plastic film recycling and processing, reclaimed wood
storage, warehousing, and administrative offices. When completed,
the new facility will substantially expand the Company’s production
capacity and address increased demand for Trex Residential outdoor
living products. Construction is slated to begin in early 2022 with
the first production output anticipated in 2024. Funded primarily
through ongoing cash generation, the Company expects to invest
approximately $400 million over five years in the development of
the new Arkansas site.
Summary and Outlook
“Demand trends remain strong, mirroring repair and remodel
spending forecasts for the remainder of 2021 and into 2022.
Supporting this view is the significant rise in home improvement
permits indicating that homeowners are continuing to invest in
their primary and secondary residences.
“Order activity together with our website traffic and analytics
point to a strong finish to 2021. For the fourth quarter of 2021,
we expect consolidated net sales to range from $295 million to $305
million, representing 31% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of
the range. Anticipating sustained consumer demand along with
infilling of low channel inventories, as we look to 2022, we expect
another year of strong double-digit revenue gains.
“Trex Company’s commitment to environmental sustainability
remains a core principle of our operations. The high percentage of
recycled materials contained in our decking and railing products is
of increasing importance to consumers. I would like to thank the
entire Trex organization for their dedication and collaboration in
building a better tomorrow for our customers, employees,
communities, investors and the environment.” Mr. Fairbanks
concluded.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this press release regarding the Company's
expected future performance and condition constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual operating
results to differ materially. Such risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to: the extent of market acceptance of the
Company’s current and newly developed products; the costs
associated with the development and launch of new products and the
market acceptance of such new products; the sensitivity of the
Company’s business to general economic conditions; the impact of
seasonal and weather-related demand fluctuations on inventory
levels in the distribution channel and sales of the Company’s
products; the availability and cost of third-party transportation
services for the Company’s products; the Company’s ability to
obtain raw materials at acceptable prices; the Company’s ability to
maintain product quality and product performance at an acceptable
cost; the level of expenses associated with product replacement and
consumer relations expenses related to product quality; the highly
competitive markets in which the Company operates; cyber-attacks,
security breaches or other security vulnerabilities; the impact of
upcoming data privacy laws and the General Data Protection
Regulation and the related actual or potential costs and
consequences; material adverse impacts from global public health
pandemics, including the strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19;
and material adverse impacts related to labor shortages or
increases in labor costs. Documents filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission by the Company, including in particular its
latest annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form
10-Q, discuss some of the important factors that could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed
or implied in these forward-looking statements. The Company
expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use
the non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to assess
performance. We consider EBITDA to be an important supplemental
indicator of our core operating performance because it eliminates
many differences among companies in capitalization and tax
structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets.
EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as
calculated in accordance with GAAP, and is not meant to be
considered superior to or a substitute for our GAAP results.
Reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to EBITDA (non-GAAP) is as
follows:
