Builders FirstSource Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results

Net Income totals $10.6 Million as Second Quarter Sales top $426 Million

July 24, 2014 (Dallas, TX) – Builders FirstSource, Inc. (NasdaqGS: BLDR), a leading supplier and manufacturer of structural and related building products for residential new construction in the United States, today reported its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Second quarter highlights include the following (see financial schedules for more information, including non-GAAP reconciliations):

•

Second quarter 2014 sales increased 7.1 percent to $426.5 million, when compared to the second quarter of 2013.

•

Gross margin percentage improved to 22.0 percent, up from 20.7 percent in the second quarter of 2013.

•

Adjusted EBITDA was $20.4 million, up $3.6 million over the second quarter of 2013.

•

Completed the acquisition of Slone Lumber Company on June 30^th, increasing the company’s presence in the greater Houston market.

Commenting on the company’s results, Floyd Sherman, Builders FirstSource Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We achieved our highest quarterly sales since 2006, as we ended the second quarter of 2014 with sales of $426.5 million. We were able to achieve this high level of sales even though sales were reduced by commodity deflation this quarter, as market prices for lumber and lumber sheet goods were, on average, 8.8 percent lower when compared to the second quarter of 2013. In addition, the U.S. Census Bureau reported actual single-family housing starts in the South Region, which encompasses all of our markets, increased just 0.6 percent compared to the second quarter of 2013. Our results are a prime example of how our market share gains of recent years, and the tremendous efforts of our employees, continue to have a positive impact.”

Mr. Sherman added, “Our recent acquisition of Slone Lumber was another positive event during the quarter, and one that affords us the opportunity to expand our presence in the Houston market, which is currently the #1 homebuilding market in the country. Evaluating attractive acquisition opportunities such as Slone will continue to be a key strategy of the company.”

Commenting on the second quarter results, Chad Crow, Builders FirstSource Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer added, “Our gross margin percentage of 22.0 percent was a 130 basis point improvement over the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter basis, our second quarter gross margin percentage was up 30 basis points. Improved customer pricing drove our overall margin increase, though we still face a very competitive pricing environment. Our selling, general and administrative expense, expressed as a percentage of sales, increased 60 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to the impact of commodity lumber price deflation on our sales. Based on our growth in sales volume, absent the negative impact of price deflation, our growth in operating expense was in line with our expectations.”

Second Quarter 2014 Results Compared to Second Quarter 2013

(See accompanying financial schedules for full financial details and reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents.)

•

Sales were $426.5 million, an increase of $28.4 million or 7.1 percent. The increase was due to a 12.9 percent increase in volume, reduced by lower market prices for commodity lumber products which were, on average, 8.8 percent lower compared to the same period last year.

•

Gross margin percentage was 22.0 percent, up from 20.7 percent last year. Our gross margin percentage increased primarily due to improved customer pricing versus the second quarter of 2013.

•

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $7.4 million, or 10.7 percent. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expense increased to 17.9 percent compared to 17.3 percent.

•

Interest expense was $6.5 million, a decrease of $54.6 million. The decrease relates primarily to our second quarter 2013 refinancing, which included $4.2 million of interest expense on our then outstanding term loan, the write-off of $6.8 million in unamortized debt discount and $2.1 million of debt issuance costs, and a $39.5 million prepayment premium related to the early termination of the term loan. See supplemental schedule attached.

•

We recorded $0.2 million of income tax expense compared to $0.4 million. We recorded a reduction of the after-tax, non-cash valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets of $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, and an increase in the after-tax, non-cash valuation allowance of $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. Absent the valuation allowance, the effective tax rate would have been 39.5 percent and 34.6 percent in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, our gross federal income tax net operating loss available for carry-forward was approximately $258 million.

•

Income from continuing operations was $10.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $48.3 million, or $0.50 loss per diluted share. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $5.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. See reconciliation attached.

•

Adjusted EBITDA was $20.4 million, or 4.8 percent of sales, compared to $16.7 million, or 4.2 percent of sales. See reconciliation attached.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

•

Total liquidity at June 30, 2014 was approximately $194 million, and includes $34.5 million of cash and $159.4 million in borrowing availability under our revolver. We had no borrowings during the quarter under our revolver.

Builders FirstSource Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results (continued)

•

Operating cash flow was negative $13.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to negative $60.7 million for the same period last year. The difference was primarily due to our second quarter 2013 refinancing.

•

During the second quarter of 2014, we used approximately $8.7 million of cash on hand to acquire Slone Lumber Company, based in Houston, Texas.

•

Capital expenditures were $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $3.6 million for the same quarter of 2013.

Outlook

Concluding, Mr. Sherman added, “Though the growth in housing starts this year has not been what most people expected, we still have been able to drive improved year-over-year results due to our market share gains and operating efficiencies. We will continue leveraging those strengths and also look for ways to expand our footprint and market share through acquisitions, as we did with our recent acquisition in the Houston, Texas market.”
