Reports Q4 revenue $192.1M, consensus $185.3M. "Our fourth quarter operating results exceeded our expectations, driven by a strong sequential recovery in both gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin amid channel inventory recalibration," said Bryan Fairbanks, CEO. "Our underlying consumer demand remained steady, reflecting the strength of the Trex brand, our comprehensive product line designed for today’s living spaces and lifestyles, and the resilience of the outdoor living category. With long-standing relationships with best-in-class channel partners, Trex is the most widely available and purchased composite brand in North America and around the world. In recent months, we expanded our distribution network in Texas, Oklahoma and other southern states enabling us to better service many of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. Driving the sequential margin improvement was the full quarter benefit from the measures we took early in the third quarter to better align our cost structure with demand by decreasing production levels, right sizing our employee base, and focusing on cost efficiency programs. Further improvements are expected as we move through 2023 with the ongoing implementation of continuous improvement programs that will provide margin expansion opportunities. On December 30, 2022, we completed the sale of the Trex Commercial Products subsidiary and reportable segment. The divestiture reflects our decision to focus on driving the most profitable growth strategy for the Company and its shareholders through the execution of our outdoor living strategy. With the sale complete, we will dedicate all our resources to accelerating conversion to composites from wood and further strengthening our industry leadership position."
