Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROCK), a leading manufacturer and provider of products and services for the renewable energy, residential, agtech and infrastructure markets, today reported its financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.
First quarter results demonstrate a strong start to the year. We executed well delivering 14% improvement in adjusted operating income on 8% down net sales. Additionally, we delivered free cash flow exceeding 12% of net sales, enabling us to pay down a large portion of our revolver draw and continued to execute our authorized share repurchase program. Current trends in our end markets and positive customer order activity align and support our expectations and 2023 guidance,' stated Chairman and CEO Bill Bosway.
The decrease in net sales was mainly driven by end market dynamics in the Renewables segment and customer rescoping and reprioritizing fruit and vegetable growing projects in the Agtech business. Residential end market demand is evolving as expected, and the Infrastructure segment continues to have strong momentum.
GAAP earnings increased to $21.1 million, or $0.68 per share. Adjusted net income increased 10.7% to $21.8 million, or $0.70 per share, and adjusted EPS increased 16.7% driven by solid execution in the Renewables, Agtech and Infrastructure segments. Free cash flow to net sales of 12.3% was driven through stronger margin performance and improved working capital management.
Adjusted measures exclude charges for restructuring initiatives, acquisition-related items, senior leadership transition costs and the results of the processing business, as further described in the appended reconciliation of adjusted financial measures.
