Masonite reports Q1 adjusted EPS $1.29, consensus $2.03

Reports Q1 revenue $668M, consensus $721.18M. “Although end-market conditions remain choppy, we saw a sequential improvement in performance as we moved through the quarter,” said Howard Heckes, President and CEO. “Disciplined price-cost management continues to benefit margins in our North American Residential segment and the integration of the Fleetwood acquisition is progressing according to plan. Subsequent to the quarter end we announced the pending sale of the Architectural business segment, which further sharpens our focus on capturing opportunities in our residential end markets. Now that our shareholders have approved the pending acquisition by Owens Corning, we look forward to closing the transaction and becoming part of the larger, combined entity.”
