Foundation Building Materials, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results

2017 Third Quarter Highlights

Record net sales of $535.4 million, an increase of 28.8% compared to the prior year period
Earnings per share of $0.03 and Adjusted earnings per share(1) of $0.08
Net income of $1.4 million, compared to a net loss of $15.3 million in the prior year period
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $40.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) of 7.5%
Completed three acquisitions in the quarter

Tustin, CA, November 7, 2017 (Business Wire) - Foundation Building Materials, Inc. (NYSE: FBM), the largest specialty distributor of suspended ceiling systems in the United States and Canada and the second largest specialty distributor of wallboard in the United States and Canada, today reported third quarter 2017 financial results.
“We recorded a solid quarter of operational and financial performance, highlighted by year-over-year net sales growth of 28.8%, net income of $1.4 million and adjusted EBITDA(1) of $40.3 million,” said Ruben Mendoza, President and CEO. “Despite the challenges of adverse weather and fewer business days, our underlying business remained resilient. While our total base business net sales declined 1% in the quarter due to the impact of two hurricanes and fewer business days, our average daily net sales improved 2% compared to the prior year period. We also benefited from higher average selling prices for wallboard and continued strength in suspended ceilings sales.” Mr. Mendoza continued, “We also remained active on the acquisition front, completing 10 acquisitions this year that enhance our scale and geographical reach. While the third quarter presented unique challenges to our business, we continue to execute on our long-term strategy of profitably growing our market share, achieving economies of scale, and delivering long-term value to our customers and shareholders.”

2017 Third Quarter Results

Consolidated net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017 were $535.4 million compared to $415.6 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $119.9 million, or 28.8%. Net sales from acquired branches and those that were strategically combined with existing branches increased by $122.6 million period over period. Base business net sales decreased $2.7 million, or 1.2%, for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. During the third quarter, the occurrence of back-to-back major hurricanes affected the Company’s branch operations in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. In addition, two fewer business days compared to the prior year quarter led to lower net sales.

Consolidated gross profit of $154.8 million grew 37.0%, compared to $113.0 million in the third quarter of 2016. This increase is mainly attributable to increased sales volume and contributions from acquisitions. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2017 was 28.9% compared to 27.2% in 2016. This increase in gross margins was primarily due to an increase in margins from wallboard, suspended ceilings, mechanical insulation and the impact of lower current period purchase accounting adjustments.

Selling, general, and administrative, or SG&A, expenses for the third quarter of 2017 were $117.4 million compared to $96.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, representing an increase of $21.4 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 21.9% for the third quarter of 2017 compared to 23.1% for the prior year quarter. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to lower transaction costs.

Third quarter net income of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, increased by $16.7 million, compared to a net loss of $15.3 million, or $0.51 net loss per share, in the third quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $40.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) was 7.5%.


(1) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income are non-GAAP measure. See the supplementary schedules at the end of this press release for a discussion of how we define and calculate these measures, why we believe they are important and a reconciliation thereof to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

2017 Third Quarter Segment Results

Specialty Building Products (“SBP”). SBP net sales for the third quarter of 2017 were $467.9 million compared to $378.3 million for the third quarter of 2016, representing an increase of $89.6 million, or 23.7%. Net sales from acquired branches that were strategically combined with existing branches increased by $92.3 million period over period. The increase in SPB net sales is primarily due to the acquisition of Winroc-SPI in August 2016.

SBP gross profit for the third quarter of 2017 was $135.9 million compared to $105.2 million in the prior year quarter, representing an increase of $30.7 million, or 29.2%. SBP gross profit increased with higher sales volume and contributions from acquisitions. SBP gross margin for the third quarter of 2017 was 29.0% compared to 27.8% for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in SBP gross margin was primarily due to an increase in margins from wallboard and suspended ceilings sales and the impact of lower current period purchase accounting adjustments.

Mechanical Insulation (“MI”). MI net sales for the third quarter of 2017 were $67.6 million compared to $37.3 million for the third quarter of 2016. Because we entered the mechanical insulation market with the Winroc-SPI acquisition in August 2016, there were less than three months of sales in this segment for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

MI gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $18.9 million compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $11.1 million, or 141.9%. MI gross profit increased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the timing of the Winroc-SPI acquisition in August 2016 and not realizing a full quarter of results in the third quarter of 2016. MI gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 28.0% compared to 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. MI gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 included a $0.1 million charge for inventory fair value purchase accounting adjustments as compared to $2.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Excluding the effect of these adjustments, MI gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 28.1% compared to 27.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in MI gross margin was primarily due to operational efficiencies.

the acquisition of Winroc-SPI in August 2016. SBP base business net sales increased by $39.8 million, or 6.2%, due to product expansion into new markets and the overall market growth in both the commercial and residential construction markets.

SBP gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $389.0 million compared to $256.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $132.3 million, or 51.5%. Gross profit increased due to higher sales volume combined with contributions from acquisitions and base business growth. SBP gross margins for the nine months was 28.9% compared to 28.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

MI. MI net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $197.7 million compared to $37.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net sales is primarily due to our acquisition of Winroc-SPI on August 9, 2016, therefore, there was a shorter period of sales in this segment during the prior year period.

MI gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $55.2 million compared to $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $47.4 million.

Excluding the effect of these adjustments, MI gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 28.0% as compared to 27.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The improvement in gross margin, excluding the effect of the inventory fair value adjustments, was primarily due to operational efficiencies.

Acquisitions

We supplement our organic growth strategy with selective acquisitions. During the third quarter, we completed three acquisitions. From January 1, 2017 through the date of this release, we have completed 10 acquisitions totaling 19 branches, and we expect the full year 2017 net sales contribution from all acquisitions to be in the range of $70 million to $80 million.

Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Financial Measures

In addition to results under GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA , Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS, which are provided as supplemental measures of financial performance. These measures are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization and before non-recurring adjustments such as purchase accounting adjustments, public company readiness expenses, stock-based compensation, non-cash (gain) losses on the sale of property and equipment, transaction costs, non-recurring hurricane costs and unrealized (gains) losses on derivative financial instruments. We calculate Adjusted net income as net income (loss), adjusted for the following: purchase accounting adjustments, public company readiness expenses, stock-based compensation, non-cash (gains) losses on the sale of property and equipment, transaction costs, non-recurring hurricane related costs, unrealized (gains) losses on derivative financial instruments and the effect of income taxes related to these adjustments. We calculate Adjusted EPS as Adjusted net income on a per weighted average share outstanding basis.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS are presented because they are important metrics used by management as two of the means by which it assesses financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provides investors with an additional financial analytical framework that may be useful in assessing our company and its results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS have certain limitations. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income and earnings per share, or as any other measure of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS also should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS are not intended to be liquidity measures. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP measure, net income:
