Net sales decreased by $4.6 million, or 1.0%, to $447.4 million for the three months ended December 27, 2019, compared to $452.0 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributed to $30.0 million of lower average selling prices resulting from lower commodity input costs of steel and resin. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by higher volume of $14.1 million primarily in the PVC electrical conduit and fittings product category sold within the Electrical Raceway segment, as well as, the mechanical pipe product category sold within the Mechanical Products & Solutions segment. Additionally, the decrease in net sales was partially offset by increased sales of $12.4 million from the acquisition of the assets of United Structural Products, LLC. ("US Tray") and Rocky Mountain Pipe ("Cor-Tek") and the acquisition of Flytec Systems Ltd. and its parent holding company, Modern Associates Ltd., in fiscal 2019 (together, the "2019 acquisitions").

Gross profit increased by $6.6 million, or 6.0%, to $116.8 million for the three months ended December 27, 2019, as compared to $110.3 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin increased to 26.1% for the three months ended December 27, 2019, as compared to 24.4% for the prior-year period. Gross margin increased primarily due to higher volume and operational efficiencies.

Exhibit 99.1

Net income increased by $7.8 million, or 29.1%, to $34.8 million for the three months ended December 27, 2019 compared to $26.9 million for the prior-year period primarily due to higher gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $7.7 million, or 11.0%, to $77.7 million for the three months ended December 27, 2019 compared to $70.0 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit.

Diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") was $0.71 for the three months ended December 27, 2019, as compared to $0.54 in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per diluted share increased by $0.20 to $0.94 for the three months ended December 27, 2019, as compared to $0.74 in the prior year period. The increase in diluted earnings per share and adjusted net income per share is primarily attributed to higher gross profit and the excess tax benefit associated with stock compensation.

Segment Results

Electrical Raceway

Net sales decreased by $2.0 million, or 0.6%, to $341.4 million for the three months ended December 27, 2019 compared to $343.4 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributed to the pass-through impact of lower average selling prices of $19.1 million resulting from lower commodity input costs of steel and resin. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by the 2019 acquisitions, which contributed $12.4 million in sales for the three months ended December 27, 2019. Additionally, the decrease in net sales was offset by $6.7 million in higher volume, primarily in the PVC electrical conduit and fittings product category.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 27, 2019 increased by $1.7 million, or 2.5%, to $70.2 million from $68.5 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 20.6% for the three months ended December 27, 2019 compared to 19.9% for the three months ended December 28, 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was largely due to operational efficiencies, the contributions from the 2019 acquisitions, and incremental profit from higher volume.

Mechanical Products & Solutions ("MP&S")

Net sales decreased by $2.2 million, or 2.0%, for the three months ended December 27, 2019 to $106.7 million compared to $108.8 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributed to the pass-through impact of lower average input costs of steel products of $10.8 million, partially offset by higher volume of $7.3 million primarily in the mechanical pipe product category.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $5.8 million, or 53.0%, to $16.7 million for the three months ended December 27, 2019 compared to $10.9 million for the three months ended December 28, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 15.6% for the three months ended December 27, 2019 compared to 10.0% for the three months ended December 28, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to higher volume, pricing strategies and operational efficiencies.

Full-Year 2020 Outlook

The Company is increasing its expectation of fiscal year 2020 Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $340.0 million - $350.0 million and its expectation of fiscal year 2020 Adjusted net income per diluted share to be in the range of $3.95 - $4.05.

Reconciliations of the forward-looking full-year 2020 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income per diluted share are not being provided as the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliations.

A number of important factors, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed or referenced under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 22, 2019 could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: declines in, and uncertainty regarding, the general business and economic conditions in the United States and international markets in which we operate; weakness or another downturn in the United States non-residential construction industry; changes in prices of raw materials; pricing pressure, reduced profitability, or loss of market share due to intense competition; availability and cost of third-party freight carriers and energy; high levels of imports of products similar to those manufactured by us; changes in federal, state, local and international governmental regulations and trade policies; changes in foreign laws and legal systems, including as a result of Brexit; recent and future changes to tax legislation; adverse weather conditions; failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to raise sufficient funds in the capital markets to satisfy existing obligations and support the development of our business; increased costs relating to future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with environmental, health and safety laws; reduced spending by, deterioration in the financial condition of, or other adverse developments with respect to, one or more of our top customers; increases in our working capital needs, which are substantial and fluctuate based on economic activity and the market prices for our main raw materials, including as a result of failure to collect, or delays in the collection of, cash from the sale of manufactured products; work stoppage or other interruptions of production at our facilities as a result of disputes under existing collective bargaining agreements with labor unions or in connection with negotiations of new collective bargaining agreements, as a result of supplier financial distress, or for other reasons; challenges attracting and retaining key personnel or high-quality employees; changes in our financial obligations relating to pension plans that we maintain in the United States; reduced production or distribution capacity due to interruptions in the operations of our facilities or those of our key suppliers; loss of a substantial number of our third-party agents or distributors or a dramatic deviation from the amount of sales they generate; security threats, attacks, or other disruptions to our information systems, or failure to comply with complex network security, data privacy and other legal obligations or the failure to protect sensitive information; possible impairment of goodwill or other long-lived assets as a result of future triggering events, such as declines in our cash flow projections or customer demand; safety and labor risks associated with the manufacture and in the testing of our products; product liability, construction defect and warranty claims and litigation relating to our various products, as well as government inquiries and investigations, and consumer, employment, tort and other legal proceedings; our ability to protect our intellectual property and other material proprietary rights; risks inherent in doing business internationally; our inability to introduce new products effectively or implement our innovation strategies; the inability of our customers to pay off the credit lines extended to them by us in a timely manner and the negative impact on customer relations resulting from our collections efforts with respect to non-paying or slow-paying customers; our inability to continue importing raw materials, component parts and/or finished goods; the incurrence of liabilities and the issuance of additional debt or equity in connection with acquisitions, joint ventures or divestitures and the failure of indemnification provisions in our acquisition agreements to fully protect us from unexpected liabilities; failure to manage acquisitions successfully, including identifying, evaluating, and valuing acquisition targets and integrating acquired companies, businesses or assets; the incurrence of liabilities in connection with violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar foreign anti-corruption laws; the incurrence of additional expenses, increase in complexity of our supply chain and potential damage to our reputation with customers resulting from regulations related to "conflict minerals"; disruptions or impediments to the receipt of sufficient raw materials resulting from various anti-terrorism security measures; restrictions contained in our debt agreements; failure to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on, or other amounts due on our debt; and other factors described from time to time in documents that we file with the SEC. The Company assumes no obligation to update the information contained herein, which speaks only as of the date hereof.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes certain financial information, not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. See non-GAAP reconciliations below in this press release for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Exhibit 99.1

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business and in the preparation of our annual operating budgets as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before: depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, certain legal matters, transaction costs, gain on purchase of a business and other items, such as inventory reserves, adjustments and realized or unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, and release of certain indemnified uncertain tax positions. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net sales.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when presented in conjunction with comparable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") measures, are useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in evaluating the performance of our business.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share

We use Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company's results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure provide an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and or non-cash items. We define Adjusted net income as net income before stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax. We define Adjusted net income per share as basic and diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, certain legal matters and other items, and the income tax expense or benefit on the foregoing adjustments that are subject to income tax.

Leverage Ratio - Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA

We define leverage ratio as the ratio of net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) to Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month ("TTM") basis. We believe the leverage ratio is useful to investors as an alternative liquidity measure.
