Stock Building Supply Announces 2015 First Quarter Results

Raleigh, NC - April 28, 2015 - Stock Building Supply Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: STCK) (the “Company”), a large, diversified lumber and building materials distributor and solutions provider that sells primarily to new construction and remodeling contractors, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

First Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights


•	Net sales of $297.6 million, up 6.3%, compared to $280.0 million in the prior year period


•	Gross profit of $71.3 million, up 9.3%, compared to $65.2 million in the prior year period


•	Net income of $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, including a $3.0 million benefit from a previously uncertain tax position, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share in the prior year period


•	Adjusted EBITDA of $3.9 million, compared to $0.1 million in the prior year period


•	Adjusted loss from continuing operations of $0.3 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to an adjusted loss from continuing operations of $2.4 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the prior year period

Commenting on the Company’s first quarter 2015 results, Jeff Rea, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We continue to execute on our profitable growth strategy and delivered another quarter of solid operating result improvements. Net sales volume grew approximately 7.5% compared to first quarter 2014 and accelerated by over 300 basis points compared to the year over year volume growth achieved in the fourth quarter of 2014. Furthermore, gross profit dollars increased over 9%, compared to the prior year period, driven by growth in our value-added millwork and other interior and structural component product categories. Adjusted EBITDA improved nearly $4 million, compared to the prior year period, as we successfully leveraged our net sales and gross profit growth.”

Jim Major, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Our first quarter results further illustrate the intense focus our operating teams have on expanding revenues, while improving productivity and profitability. We continued to leverage our LEAN business initiatives, as selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales declined 40 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2014. The benefits of increasing our value-added product category sales as a percentage of total net sales helped drive our gross margin to 24.0%, which was 70 basis points higher than first quarter 2014. The combination of operating expense leverage and improved gross margins resulted in strong year over year pull-through of incremental net sales dollars to Adjusted EBITDA.”

First Quarter 2015 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period

Net sales for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $297.6 million, up $17.6 million, or 6.3%, compared to $280.0 million in the first quarter of 2014. The Company estimates net sales increased approximately 7.5% related to increased volume but was partially offset by reduced selling prices on commodity products.

Gross profit in the first quarter of 2015 was $71.3 million, up $6.1 million, or 9.3%, compared to $65.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of increased sales volume. The gross margin percentage

for the first quarter of 2015 increased to 24.0% compared to 23.3% in the first quarter of 2014, largely as a result of improved gross margins on sales of structural components and a higher percentage of total net sales being derived from non-commodity products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2015 were $70.1 million, up $3.0 million, or 4.5%, from $67.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily related to higher salary, wage and incentive compensation costs to serve higher sales volume, as well as health care cost inflation and increased non-cash compensation expenses.

Operating loss in the first quarter of 2015 was $1.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2014. Net income during the quarter totaled $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $3.0 million in relation to a previously recorded uncertain tax position regarding the deductibility of a termination fee paid to The Gores Group, LLC (“Gores”) in 2013 to terminate our management services agreement with Gores.

Adjusted loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2015 was $0.3 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to an adjusted loss from continuing operations of $2.4 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2015 totaled $3.9 million, up $3.8 million, compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. A reconciliation of non-GAAP (Adjusted) financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided as an appendix to this release.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total liquidity as of March 31, 2015 was approximately $104.5 million, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $8.4 million and $96.1 million of borrowing availability under our existing revolver.

Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2015 totaled $3.9 million, primarily to fund purchases of vehicles and equipment to support increased sales volume and replace aged assets, and facility and technology investments to support our operations. In addition, the Company acquired approximately $2.2 million of assets, primarily vehicles, under capital lease arrangements.

In February 2015, the Company completed a sale-leaseback transaction under which it sold an operating facility, which had been purchased in December 2014, to an unrelated third party for net proceeds of $15.3 million and entered into a long-term operating lease.

Outlook

“2015 is off to a solid start and we see numerous opportunities for continued growth through further development of our operating initiatives that are focused on improving the customer experience,” stated Mr. Rea. “Based on the prevailing positive trends in the employment market and consumer confidence, as well as the aging of U.S. housing stock, we remain optimistic about continued growth in the residential construction markets in 2015 and beyond, and believe we are well positioned to execute in the current environment.”

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

(unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of assets held for sale, public offering transaction-related costs, restructuring expense, non-cash stock compensation expense, severance and other items related to store closures and other items. Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations plus impairment of assets held for sale, public offering transaction-related costs, restructuring expense, non-cash stock compensation expense, severance and other items related to store closures, other items and recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits, and after tax effecting those items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and operating results. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other distribution and retail companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Our management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations in isolation or as alternatives to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. Some of these limitations are: (i) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (v) although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements and (vi) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations do not consider the potentially dilutive impact of issuing non-cash stock-based compensation. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations in conjunction with GAAP results. You should review the reconciliations of income (loss) from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
