RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BMC Stock Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BMCH) (“BMC” or the “Company”), one of the leading providers of diversified building products, services and innovative solutions in the U.S. residential construction market, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” section of this press release.

The Company’s results reflected in this release include the impact of an out of period provision for bad debts of $4.3 million (“Out of Period Item”). See further description in the “Out of Period Item” section of this press release.

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights (Comparisons are to Prior Year Period)

  • Net sales of $946.4 million, a decrease of 5.2% primarily driven by commodity price deflation, partially offset by acquisition growth of 2.8% and other organic growth of 2.0%.
  • Gross profit of $245.8 million, an increase of 2.6%
  • Gross margin (or gross profit as a percentage of sales) of 26.0%, an increase of 200 basis points
  • Net income of $35.7 million, a decrease of $4.7 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $73.3 million, a decrease of $5.5 million, inclusive of the $4.3 million Out of Period Item
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) of 7.7%, a decrease of 20 basis points
  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.53, a decrease of $0.07
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP) of $0.59, a decrease of $0.05
  • Cash provided by operating activities of $51.6 million, an increase of $23.8 million
  • Increased the Company’s senior secured credit agreement by $50 million to $425 million and extended the maturity to May 31, 2024

In describing the quarter, Dave Flitman, President and CEO of BMC, said, “Our continued focus on the execution of our strategy led to another quarter of solid results, which were highlighted by net income of $35.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $73.3 million and strong margins, as well as significantly improved cash flow from operations.  Our investments in innovation, productivity, talent development and tuck-in acquisitions are helping us gain share in our value-added categories, enhance our footprint and customer mix in our local markets and drive a culture of continuous improvement.  Importantly, during the quarter, these efforts enabled us to deliver organic growth in our value-added product categories, including 4.5% organic net sales growth in Structural Components before deflation and 5.3% organic net sales growth in Millwork, Doors and Windows, both of which solidly outpaced the underlying trends in single-family starts.  We were also pleased to announce the acquisition of Kingston Lumber last week, as we continue to deliver on our efforts to add great talent and capability to our existing footprint through tuck-in acquisitions.  We remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives and believe we are well positioned to drive long-term growth and shareholder value.”

Second Quarter 2019 Summary of Financial Results

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company generated solid net income, diluted earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA margin (non-GAAP), as well as significantly improved operating cash flow.

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period

  • Net sales decreased 5.2% to $946.4 million, primarily driven by commodity price deflation.  Specifically, the Company estimates that net sales decreased 8.9% from commodity price deflation within the lumber & lumber sheet goods and structural components product categories and 1.1% from the disposition of the Coleman Floor business.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase of 2.8% from the acquisitions of Barefoot and Company and Locust Lumber and an increase of 2.0% from other organic growth.
  • Gross profit increased 2.6% to $245.8 million.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales (gross margin) was 26.0%, as compared to 24.0% for the second quarter of 2018.  This result reflects a 320 basis point year-over-year improvement in gross margin within the lumber and lumber sheet goods category and a 300   basis point improvement within structural components.
  • Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $11.6 million to $181.4 million.  Excluding the $4.3 million impact of the Out of Period Item, SG&A expenses increased $7.3 million.  Approximately $4.4 million of this increase related to SG&A expenses of Barefoot and Company and Locust Lumber and $1.8 million of the increase related to increased health care costs, while the remaining increase was primarily related to employee wage inflation.  SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales were 19.2%, compared with 17.0% for the second quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily a result of deflation in the selling prices of lumber and lumber sheet goods.  Excluding the impact of the bad debt expense that related to prior periods, SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales during the second quarter of 2019 were 18.7%.
  • Depreciation expense, including the portion reported within cost of sales, increased to $13.3 million, compared to $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Merger and integration costs increased to $1.4 million, consisting primarily of system integration costs, compared to $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Amortization expense increased to $4.3 million, compared to $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Barefoot and Company and Locust Lumber acquisitions.
  • The Company recognized asset impairment charges of $0.5 million related to the relocation of the operations of one of the Company’s facilities.
  • Interest expense decreased to $5.6 million, compared to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Other income, net, increased to $3.7 million, which was derived primarily from state and local tax incentives, interest income and customer service charges, compared to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2018.  This increase resulted primarily from an increase in interest income.
  • Net income decreased to $35.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $40.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) decreased to $39.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share (non-GAAP), compared to Adjusted net income of $43.4 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) decreased 7.0% to $73.3 million, compared to $78.8 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin (non-GAAP), defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, declined 20 basis points to 7.7%.
  • Cash provided by operating activities increased $23.8 million to $51.6 million, primarily due to commodity price deflation and improved inventory turns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total liquidity as of June 30, 2019 was approximately $528.2 million, which included cash and cash equivalents of $160.5 million and $367.7 million of borrowing availability under the Company’s asset-backed revolver.  In May, the Company successfully increased the borrowing capacity under its senior secured credit agreement, which includes a revolving line of credit, from $375 million to $425 million and extended the maturity from December 1, 2020 to May 31, 2024.

Capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2019, net of proceeds from the sale of property, equipment and real estate, totaled $28.7 million.  These expenditures were primarily used to fund purchases of vehicles and equipment to replace aged assets and support increased sales volume, and facility, technology and automation investments to support our operations.

Acquisitions

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, on August 1, 2019, the Company enhanced its value-added offerings and footprint in the Seattle market with the acquisition of Kingston Lumber, a supplier of trusses and other building materials primarily to custom homebuilders and professional remodeling contractors.  For the year ended December 31, 2018, Kingston Lumber generated net sales of approximately $24 million.

Stock Repurchases

On November 26, 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized a $75.0 million share repurchase program.  In the second quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased less than 0.1 million shares at an average price of $18.16 per share.  As of August 6, 2019, the Company had approximately $55.7 million of capacity remaining under the current share repurchase authorization.

Out of Period Item

The Company’s results reflected in this release include the impact of the Out of Period Item.  Specifically, a former credit manager within one of the Company’s local operations violated the Company’s credit policy by manipulating the aging of certain unpaid customer invoices.  The incorrect aging of these invoices prevented the Company from pursuing more vigilant collection activities or increasing its provision for doubtful accounts in a timely manner. The Company has determined the cumulative impact recognized in the second quarter of $4.3 million is not material to the current period or any previously issued financial statements. The Company is also reviewing access-related internal control deficiencies, which is likely to result in the reporting of a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting. The Company is implementing corrective actions to remediate these internal control deficiencies.

BMC will host a conference call on Tuesday, August 6, 2019 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time and will simultaneously broadcast it live over the Internet.  Prior to the call, an earnings release presentation will be posted on the Company’s investor relations website - ir.buildwithbmc.com - in the “Events and Presentations” tab under the heading “Presentation Archive.”  The conference call can be accessed by dialing 877-407-0784 (domestic) or 201-689-8560 (international).  A telephonic replay will be available approximately three hours after the call and can be accessed by dialing 844-512-2921, or for international callers, 412-317-6671.  The passcode for both the live call and the replay is 13692091.  The telephonic replay will be available until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 13, 2019.  The live webcast of the conference call can be accessed on the Company’s investor relations website at ir.buildwithbmc.com and will be available for approximately 90 days.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.  The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

  • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, merger and integration costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, acquisition costs and other items.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
  • Adjusted net income is defined as net income plus merger and integration costs, non-cash stock compensation expense,  acquisition costs, other items and after tax effecting those items.
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share is defined as Adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares.

Company management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income 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 the board of directors.  The Company believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share provides additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other distribution and retail companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.  However, the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.  Company management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share in isolation or as alternatives to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.  The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay taxes; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements and (vi) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share in conjunction with GAAP results.  Readers should review the reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
