DALLAS, Oct. 24, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Builders FirstSource, Inc. (Nasdaq: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 third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Highlights include the following (see financial schedules for more information, including non-GAAP reconciliations):
- Third quarter 2013 sales increased 38.1 percent to $402.9 million compared to third quarter 2012 sales of $291.8 million.
- Gross margin percentage improved to 23.0 percent, up from 19.8 percent in the third quarter of 2012.
- Operating income was $20.3 million, up nearly $22.0 million when compared to an operating loss of ($1.6) million for the third quarter of 2012.
- Net income was $12.8 million, a $26.4 million improvement over a net loss of ($13.6) million for the third quarter of 2012.
- Third quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA was $23.0 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2012.
- Positive cash generation of $24.8 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to cash used of $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Floyd Sherman, Builders FirstSource Chief Executive Officer said, "Our trend of improving financial results continued as our top line growth and gross margin increase helped us achieve positive net income and positive cash flow in the current quarter. As we have previously stated, our focus has been on increasing market share while expanding gross margins. To that end, our third quarter sales were $402.9 million, an increase of 38.1 percent when compared to the third quarter of 2012. This marks the eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales growth above 30 percent, and shows our sales growth is still outpacing the increase in residential construction activity."
Mr. Sherman added, "Our gross margin percentage increased to 23.0 percent for the current quarter, up from 19.8 percent for the third quarter of 2012. This margin increase was accomplished in spite of the continuation of a very competitive pricing environment, and was largely due to better customer pricing, an increase in sales volume, and a lower rate of material cost inflation."
Chad Crow, Builders FirstSource Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer added, "Equally important to our near term goal of returning to positive net income was continued leveraging of our operating expenses. In the third quarter, our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 18.0 percent of sales as compared to 20.1 percent for the third quarter of 2012." Mr. Crow added, "Another highlight of the quarter was our positive cash flow of approximately $25.0 million, resulting in liquidity at the end of the current quarter of $211.5 million, consisting of $50.4 million of available cash and $161.1 million in borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility. Our May 2013 refinancing strengthened our balance sheet and allowed the company to increase its focus on profitable growth and creating shareholder value."
Third Quarter 2013 Results Compared to Third Quarter 2012
(See accompanying financial schedules for full financial details and reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents.)
-
Sales were $402.9 million compared to $291.8 million, an increase of $111.2 million or 38.1 percent. We estimate sales increased 29.6 percent due to increased volume and 8.5 percent due to price.
-
Gross margin percentage was 23.0 percent, up from 19.8 percent, a 320 basis point improvement. Our gross margin percent increased 280 basis points due to improved sales price and 40 basis points due to increased sales volume. On a sequential quarter basis, gross margin percentage improved from 20.7 percent to 23.0 percent.
-
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $13.7 million, or 23.3 percent. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expense decreased to 18.0 percent compared to 20.1 percent. Our salaries and benefits expense, excluding stock compensation expense, was $46.4 million, or 11.5 percent of sales, compared to $35.6 million, or 12.2 percent of sales. Delivery expense increased $1.3 million and other general administrative expense increased $1.4 million, both a result of increased sales volume.
-
Interest expense was $7.5 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, which relates primarily to our recent refinancing. For the current year quarter, interest expense included $6.7 million related to our outstanding senior secured notes due 2021 and $0.6 million of amortized deferred loan costs. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2012 included $4.7 million related to our term loan and $4.5 million related to our floating rate notes due 2016. In addition, interest expense in the third quarter of 2012 included a $0.7 million non-cash, fair value adjustment related to stock warrants issued in connection with the term loan and $0.2 million of amortized deferred loan costs.
-
We recorded a $0.1 million income tax benefit compared to $0.0 million of income tax expense in the third quarter of 2012. We recorded a reduction of the after-tax, non-cash valuation allowance of $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2013. We recorded an increase in the after-tax, non-cash valuation allowance of $ 4.6 million in the third quarter of 2012. Both were related to our net deferred tax assets. Absent the valuation allowance, the effective tax rate inclusive of discrete items would have been 25.8 percent and 37.6 percent in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, our gross federal income tax net operating loss available for carry-forward was approximately $270 million.
-
Income from continuing operations was $13.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $12.3 million, or $0.13 loss per diluted share in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding facility closure costs, the fair value adjustment for stock warrants and the tax valuation allowance, our income from continuing operations was $9.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the current year quarter, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $6.5 million, or $0.07 loss per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012. See reconciliation attached.
-
Net income was $12.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $13.6 million, or $0.14 loss per diluted share.
-
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 99.8 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 95.5 million in the same quarter of 2012. Restricted stock shares were included in diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2013 because the company generated net income and excluded in the third quarter of 2012 because the company reported a net loss. Incremental shares related to stock options and stock warrants were included in diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2013 and excluded in the third quarter of 2012 because their effect was anti-dilutive.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $23.0 million, or 5.7 percent of sales, compared to $3.0 million, or 1.0 percent of sales, for the third quarter of 2012. See reconciliation attached.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-
Total liquidity at September 30, 2013 was approximately $211.5 million, which included $50.4 million of available cash and $161.1 million in borrowing availability under our revolver. We had no borrowings during the quarter under our revolver.
-
Operating cash flow was $29.7 million for the third quarter of 2013, which included a $14.5 million reduction in working capital. Our new senior secured notes due 2021 require interest payments semi-annually in June and December. Therefore, our third quarter 2013 operating cash flow does not include an interest payment pertaining to these notes of approximately $6.7 million included in accrued liabilities. Operating cash flow was ($11.1) million in the third quarter of 2012, and included $4.0 million related to working capital build.
- Capital expenditures were $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $5.2 million for the same quarter of 2012. We expect capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2013 to be approximately $8.0 million, and expect 2014 capital expenditures to be between $15-$20 million, as we continue to invest in our fleet and truss, panel, door and window capabilities.
Outlook
Concluding, Mr. Sherman said, "Despite the challenges we still face within the industry such as the historically low rate of housing starts, availability of credit for homebuyers, shortages of skilled construction labor, and the competitive pricing environment, we believe the demand for housing continues to strengthen and the outlook for continued industry improvement remains positive. We saw our financial results accelerate through the third quarter and are optimistic regarding our outlook, taking seasonal differences into account, for the remainder of the year. I am extremely pleased with our recent financial performance and know it would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of all our employees."
