Continental Building Products Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

Herndon, Virginia, August 3, 2016. Continental Building Products, Inc. (NYSE: CBPX) (the Company), a leading manufacturer of wallboard and gypsum-based products, announced today results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Highlights of Second Quarter 2016 as Compared to Second Quarter 2015
Net sales of $117.1 million rose by 5.5%
Net income improved to $12.7 million compared to a loss of $0.1 million
Adjusted EBITDA1 of $35.1 million up from $33.3 million
Gross margin of 28.5%, expanded by 190 basis points
Earnings per share increased to $0.31
Wallboard volumes of 643 million square feet improved by 13.4%
Deployed $15.0 million to reduce debt and $5.0 million to repurchase common stock
Board of Directors authorizes expansion of stock repurchase program from up to $50.0 million to up to $100 million
“We are pleased to achieve another quarter of EBITDA growth and significant cash flow generation reflecting the strength of our highly efficient, low cost operations,” stated Jay Bachmann, Continental’s Chief Executive Officer. “For the second consecutive quarter, we experienced stronger demand in our markets east of the Mississippi which generated a 13% increase in wallboard volume versus the prior year. We converted the majority of EBITDA into operating cash flow which we deployed in share repurchases and debt repayments to enhance shareholder returns. As we look to the back half of 2016, we remain committed to executing our operational initiatives and taking advantage of value-enhancing opportunities including the expanded stock repurchase program announced today."
The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized an expansion of its stock repurchase program from up to $50 million to up to $100 million. The program has also been extended from the end of 2016 to the end of 2017. To date, the Company has repurchased $30.5 million under the stock repurchase program at an average price of $17.35 per share.
Second Quarter 2016 Results vs. Second Quarter 2015
Wallboard volumes increased to 643 million square feet (MMSF), compared to 567 MMSF in the prior year quarter, helped by continued stronger demand in the construction markets. Net sales were up $6.1 million to $117.1 million on higher volumes, compared to $111.0 million in the prior year quarter, partially offset by lower average mill net price2 of $144.86, compared to $156.85 in the prior year quarter.
Gross profit was $33.4 million, compared to $29.5 million in the prior year quarter. The gross margin of 28.5% was up from 26.6% in the prior year quarter, primarily as a result of improved raw material prices, operating leverage on higher volumes and cost savings initiatives throughout our plant network.


1 See the financial schedules at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to relevant GAAP financial measures.
2 Mill net price represents average selling price per thousand square feet (MSF), net of freight and delivery costs.




SG&A expense was $10.2 million compared to $9.4 million in the prior year quarter, or 8.7% as a percentage of net sales compared to 8.4% in the prior year quarter.
Operating income was $23.2 million, compared to $4.3 million in the prior year quarter.
Interest expense decreased 12.8% to $3.6 million, compared to $4.2 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting our continued reduction of long-term debt.
Net income for the second quarter 2016 grew to $12.7 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share, in the second quarter 2015.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share have been presented in this press release as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This release presents EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, as supplemental performance measures because management believes that they facilitate a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to its performance based on results under GAAP while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management believes do not reflect the Company’s operations and underlying operational performance. Furthermore, the Company's Board of Director compensation committee uses non-GAAP EBITDA to evaluate management's compensation. Management also believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful to investors because they allow investors to view the business through the eyes of management and the Board of Directors, facilitating comparison of results across historical periods.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share in the same manner. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income or earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP or any other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
