JELD-WEN Holding, Inc.: Form 10-Q for the period ended Jun 28, 2025

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see the “Forward-Looking Statements” section above for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and our audited financial statements and related notes and MD&A included in our Form 10-K. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods, and our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those listed under Item 1A – Risk Factors in our Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

This MD&A is a supplement to our unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and is provided to enhance your understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. Our discussion of the results of operations is presented in millions throughout MD&A and due to rounding may not sum or calculate precisely to the totals and percentages provided in the tables. Our MD&A is organized as follows:

• Company Overview. This section provides a general description of our Company and reportable segments.
• Consolidated Results of Operations and Operating Results by Business Segment. This section provides our analysis and outlook for the significant line items on our consolidated statements of operations, as well as other information that we deem meaningful to an understanding of our results of operations on both a consolidated basis and a business segment basis.
• Liquidity and Capital Resources. This section contains an overview of our financing arrangements and provides an analysis of trends and uncertainties affecting liquidity, cash requirements for our business, and sources and uses of our cash.
• Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. This section discusses the accounting policies that we consider important to the evaluation and reporting of our financial condition and results of operations, and whose application requires significant judgments or a complex estimation process.

Company Overview

We are a leading global designer, manufacturer, and distributor of high-performance interior and exterior doors, windows, and related building products, serving the new construction and R&R sectors.

We operate manufacturing and distribution facilities in 14 countries, located primarily in North America and Europe. For many product lines, our manufacturing processes are vertically integrated, enhancing our range of capabilities, our ability to innovate, and our quality control as well as providing supply chain, transportation, and working capital savings.

Business Segments

Our business is organized in geographic regions to ensure integration across operations serving common end markets and customers. We have two reportable segments: North America and Europe. Refer to Note 12 - Segment Information to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information about our segments.

Results of Operations

The tables in this section summarize key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated, both in U.S. dollars and as a percentage of our net revenues. Certain percentages presented in this section have been rounded to the nearest whole number. Accordingly, totals may not equal the sum of the line items in the tables below.

We present several financial metrics in “Core” terms, such as Core Revenues, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the last twelve months. We believe Core Revenues assists management, investors, and analysts in understanding the organic performance of our operations.

Recent Developments

Macroeconomic Conditions and Tariffs

Due to changing market conditions, we are experiencing, and may continue to experience, lower demand for our products, a continued demand shift to entry level products, persistent inflation and elevated interest rates. Additionally, the Company continues to actively monitor recent trade policy and tariff announcements, including various executive orders issued by the current U.S. presidential administration. Increased restrictions on global trade, including an increase in U.S. tariffs and any retaliatory responses thereto, could result in, among other things, increased input costs, supply chain disruptions, decreased consumer demand and volatility in foreign exchange rates and financial markets. We continue to analyze the impact of these actions and adjust our mitigation strategy, including pricing, productivity and repositioning our supply chain to offset the impact of the tariff exposure as trade policy evolves. The uncertain and evolving market dynamics and global trade environment could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

OBBBA

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the OBBBA, which makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures, modification of the business interest expense limitation, and changes to the international tax framework. We are currently assessing the impact of the legislation on our consolidated financial statements and our business.

The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by a decrease in Core Revenues of 13% and a decrease in net revenues from the court-ordered divestiture of Towanda of 5%. These were partially offset by a favorable foreign exchange impact of 1%. The decline in Core Revenues was driven by a 14% decrease in volume/mix, partially offset by a 1% benefit from price realization.

Gross Margin – Gross margin decreased $46.6 million, or 24.5%, to $143.4 million in the three months ended June 28, 2025, from $190.0 million in the three months ended June 29, 2024. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 17.4% in the three months ended June 28, 2025, compared to 19.3% in the three months ended June 29, 2024. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to the decremental impact of volume/mix, partially offset by favorable productivity.

SG&A as a percentage of net revenues increased to 18.0% in the three months ended June 28, 2025, from 17.1% in the three months ended June 29, 2024. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to decreased professional fees, including non-recurring transformation journey expenses, and lower labor expenses driven by a reduction in headcount.

Restructuring and Asset-Related Charges – Restructuring and asset-related charges decreased $7.6 million, or 46.2% to $8.8 million in the three months ended June 28, 2025, from $16.4 million in the three months ended June 29, 2024. The decrease in restructuring and asset-related charges was primarily due to a decrease in charges incurred to transform the operating structure of our Europe segment and to close certain manufacturing facilities in our North America and European segments.

The decrease in interest expense, net was primarily due to lower interest on the Term Loan Facility resulting from a partial repayment of principal during the third quarter of 2024 and lower interest rate in the current period, partially offset by a higher principal balance and higher interest rate on our Senior Notes issued during the third quarter of 2024 and maturing in 2032.

Other Income, Net – Other income, net increased $2.1 million, or 84.8%, to $4.6 million in the three months ended June 28, 2025, from $2.5 million in the three months ended June 29, 2024.

Refer to Note 18 - Other Income, Net to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense – Income tax benefit was $3.5 million in the three months ended June 28, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $9.6 million in the three months ended June 29, 2024. The effective tax rate in the three months ended June 28, 2025, was 13.6%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2025, was primarily driven by losses for jurisdictions for which there is a full valuation allowance in the quarter and $0.6 million of discrete tax expense attributable to share-based compensation. The effective tax rate in the three months ended June 29, 2024, was (107.1)%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 29, 2024, was primarily driven by $7.7 million of tax expense on uncertain tax positions relating primarily to a historical income tax audit and $2.2 million of valuation expense recorded against our U.S. state tax attributes, as well as losses for jurisdictions for which there is a full valuation allowance in the quarter. Refer to Note 11 - Income Taxes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.

SG&A as a percentage of net revenues increased to 18.3% in the six months ended June 28, 2025, from 18.1% in the six months ended June 29, 2024. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees, including non-recurring transformation journey expenses, lower salaries and benefits driven by a reduction in headcount, lower amortization expense resulting from accelerated amortization in the prior year for an ERP that we are no longer utilizing after we completed our related obligations under the JW Australia Transition Services Agreement during the first quarter of 2024, as well as lower advertising and promotion expenses.

Refer to Note 16 - Restructuring and Asset-Related Charges to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.

Interest Expense, Net – Interest expense, net, decreased $0.9 million, or 2.6%, to $31.4 million in the six months ended June 28, 2025, from $32.3 million in the six months ended June 29, 2024.

Segment Results and Non-GAAP Reconciliations

We report our segment information in the same way management internally organizes the business in assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources in accordance with ASC 280-10 - Segment Reporting. We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, adjusted for the following items: income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; interest expense (income), net; and certain special items consisting of non-recurring net legal and professional expenses and settlements; goodwill impairment; restructuring and asset-related charges; M&A related costs; net (gain) loss on sale of business, property and equipment; loss on extinguishment and refinancing of debt; share-based compensation expense; non-cash foreign exchange transaction/translation (gain) loss; and other special items. We use Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations because we believe this measure assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. This non-GAAP financial measure should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We have two reportable segments, organized and managed principally in geographic regions: North America and Europe. We report all other business activities in Corporate and unallocated costs.

Reconciliations of income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations by segment are as follows:

The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in Core Revenues of 15% and a decrease in net revenues from the court-ordered divestiture of Towanda of 7%. The decrease in Core revenues was driven by a 16% decline in volume/mix due to weakened market demand, partially offset by a 1% benefit from price realization.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in North America decreased $40.9 million, or 54.1%, to $34.7 million in the three months ended June 28, 2025, from $75.6 million in the three months ended June 29, 2024.

The decrease in cost was primarily due to an increase in cash received on investments in real estate, lower salaries and benefits driven by a reduction in headcount in the current year, and a reduction in non-transformational professional fees, partially offset by higher hedging losses and an insurance reimbursement received during the six months ended June 29, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have historically funded our operations through a combination of cash from operations, draws on our revolving credit facilities, and the issuance of non-revolving debt such as our Term Loan Facility and our Senior Notes. We place a strong emphasis on cash flow generation, which includes an operating discipline focused on working capital management. Working capital fluctuates throughout the year and is impacted by inflation, the seasonality of our sales, customer payment patterns, supply availability, and the translation of the balance sheets of our foreign operations into the U.S. dollar. Typically, working capital increases at the end of the first quarter and beginning of the second quarter in conjunction with, and in preparation for, the peak season for home construction and remodeling in our North America and Europe segments, and decreases starting in the fourth quarter as inventory levels and accounts receivable decline. Inventories fluctuate for raw materials that have long delivery lead times, as we work through prior shipments and take delivery of new orders.

As of June 28, 2025, we had total liquidity (a non-GAAP measure) of $528.0 million, consisting of $134.1 million in unrestricted cash, $393.9 million available for borrowing under the ABL Facility, compared to total liquidity of $566.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in total liquidity was primarily due to lower ABL borrowing base availability as well as a lower cash balance at June 28, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024.

As of June 28, 2025, we have $23.3 million in short-term debt obligations due in the next twelve months.

As of June 28, 2025, our cash balances, including $0.7 million of restricted cash, consisted of $23.3 million in cash located in the U.S. and $111.6 million in cash located outside of the U.S. held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Based on our current and forecasted level of operations and seasonality of our business, we believe that cash provided by operations and other sources of liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents, and availability under our revolving credit facilities, will provide adequate liquidity for ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures and other investments, and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months.

We may, from time to time, refinance, reprice, extend, retire, or otherwise modify our outstanding debt to lower our interest payments, reduce our debt, or otherwise improve our financial position. These actions may include repricing amendments, extensions, and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be refinanced, repriced, extended, retired, or otherwise modified, if any, will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants, and other considerations.

We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if there are any, will be on such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Based on hypothetical variable rate debt that would have resulted from drawing each revolving credit facility up to the full commitment amount, a 100-basis point decrease in interest rates would have reduced our interest expense by $2.1 million in the three months ended June 28, 2025. A 100-basis point increase in interest rates would have increased our interest expense by $2.2 million in the same period. In certain instances, the impact of a hypothetical decrease would have been partially mitigated by interest rate floors that apply to certain of our debt agreements.

In June 2023, we amended the Term Loan Facility to replace LIBOR with a Term SOFR based rate as the successor benchmark rate and made certain other technical amendments and related conforming changes. All other material terms and conditions were unchanged.

In August 2023, we redeemed all $250.0 million of our 6.25% Senior Secured Notes and $200.0 million of our 4.63% Senior Notes. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $6.5 million on the redemption in the year ended December 31, 2023, consisting of $3.9 million in call premium and $2.6 million in accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs.

In January 2024, we amended the Term Loan Facility to lower the applicable margin for replacement term loans, remove certain provisions no longer relevant to the parties, and make certain other technical amendments and related conforming changes. Pursuant to the amendment, replacement term loans bear interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.00% depending on JWI’s corporate credit ratings, compared to a margin of 2.00% to 2.25% under the previous amendment. All other material terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement were unchanged.

In August 2024, we issued $350.0 million of Senior Notes, bearing interest at 7.00%, the proceeds of which were utilized to repay $150.0 million of the outstanding balance of our Term Loan Facility and redeemed the remaining $200.0 million of our 4.63% Senior Notes in September 2024. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $0.5 million on the redemption resulting from accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs.

In March 2025, we amended the ABL Facility to extend the maturity date from July 2026 to March 2028, replace the CDOR as the applicable rate with respect to loans denominated in Canadian Dollars with the CORRA, and make certain other technical amendments and related conforming changes. All other material terms and conditions of the ABL Facility credit agreement were unchanged including the aggregate commitment, which remained at $500.0 million. As a result of this amendment, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, consisting of unamortized issuance costs.

If there are outstanding borrowings against the ABL Facility, which result in the Company’s Global Excess Availability falling below the Level 1 Availability Trigger Amount, we would be required to comply with a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as described in the ABL Facility credit agreement.

In December 2007, we entered into thirty-year mortgage notes secured by land and buildings in Denmark with principal payments which began in 2018. In October 2024, we repaid the entire remaining principal balance of the mortgage notes of DKK142.5 million ($20.7 million).

As of June 28, 2025, we were in compliance with the terms of all our Credit Facilities and the indentures governing the Senior Notes.

Our results have been and will continue to be impacted by substantial changes in our net interest expense throughout the periods presented and into the future. Refer to Note 10 - Long-Term Debt to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the changes to our cash flows for the periods presented:

(amounts in thousands)

Cash Flows from Operations

Net cash used in operating activities was $48.9 million in the six months ended June 28, 2025, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $40.4 million in the six months ended June 29, 2024. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the decrease in earnings of $165.4 million, inclusive of a $137.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our North America reporting unit during the first quarter of 2025, and a $39.5 million increase in net cash used in our working capital accounts. The impact of accounts receivable, net of $38.4 million was unfavorable in the six months ended June 28, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2024, which was primarily due to the decrease in sales outpacing the decrease in accounts receivable. The $25.6 million unfavorable impact from accounts payable is primarily due to decreased inventory purchases in North America and lower payables for professional expenses associated with a transformation consultant when compared to the prior year. The $24.5 million favorable impact of inventory is primarily due to a reduction in purchases of materials in North America.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $36.8 million in the six months ended June 28, 2025, compared to cash used in investing activities of $69.6 million in the six months ended June 29, 2024. The change in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily driven by $110.7 million proceeds related to the court-ordered divestiture of Towanda during the six months ended June 28, 2025, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $2.0 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $26.9 million to $12.8 million in the six months ended June 28, 2025, compared to $39.8 million in the six months ended June 29, 2024, primarily due to the repurchases of common stock of $24.3 million in the six months ended June 29, 2024 and a reduction in net debt payments and debt extinguishment costs of $4.2 million.
