Installed Building Products, Inc. (the "Company" or "IBP") (NYSE: IBP), an industry-leading installer of insulation and complementary building products, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

• Adjusted net income per diluted share* increased 52.9% to $0.78
• At March 31, 2020, IBP had $213.7 million in cash, and cash equivalents, and investments, and nothing drawn on its existing $200 million revolving line of credit
• In March 2020, acquired Royals Commercial Services, Inc., a Maryland based provider of spray foam insulation and thermal barrier installation services primarily for commercial customers, with annual revenue of approximately $10.0 million
• In March 2020, acquired a Chicago based shower, shelving, and mirror installer, with annual revenue of approximately $1.1 million

Recent Developments

• Revenue for the month of April 2020 increased approximately 2% compared to the same period last year, even though 10% of our branches by revenue were closed during the month due to construction’s non-essential status in certain markets
• Currently, markets representing less than 2% of revenue are closed due to construction’s non-essential status.

"The COVID-19 health crisis has created unprecedented social and economic challenges and our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the pandemic,” stated Jeff Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are focused on supporting our customers and employees across the country, while ensuring our business is well positioned to withstand the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Across our national footprint, our branches are following federal, state, and local requirements to protect the health and safety of our customers and employees.”

"During the first quarter, branches representing approximately 90% of our revenue were located in markets where construction has been deemed an essential business and these branches remain open and operational, however restrictions limiting the number of laborers on a jobsite and our social distancing practices have impacted both our volume of completed jobs and efficiencies across our single-family, multi-family and commercial end markets. We estimate that first quarter revenue was reduced by $2.0 - $2.5 million due to the COVID-19 health crisis. I am encouraged that monthly revenue for April 2020 increased approximately 2% compared to the previous year period, despite branch closures in certain markets due to construction’s non-essential status. Currently, approximately 98% of our branches by revenue are in markets where construction is deemed essential.”

"Single-family housing units under construction remain robust, which we believe supports over six months of industry backlog. Our strategies to expand our geographic footprint, and end market and product diversification have enhanced our local market presence and allows us to leverage our existing branch footprint during this uncertain time. Additionally, our acquisition pipeline remains strong, but we have temporarily delayed closing acquisitions until the economic environment stabilizes.”

"We entered the current market environment from a position of financial and operating strength. The 2020 first quarter was strong across our end markets and we achieved record first quarter revenue, earnings, and adjusted EBITDA. In addition, our balance sheet and access to capital is strong. During the quarter, we generated nearly $36 million of cash flow from operations, and at March 31, 2020 we had over $213.7 million of cash, and cash equivalents, and investments. We also have nothing drawn on our existing $200 million revolving line of credit. Our strong balance sheet, combined with our experienced leadership team, long-standing customer relationships, and asset light, high variable cost and diverse business model will allow IBP to navigate through this period of economic uncertainty,” concluded Mr. Edwards.

First Quarter 2020 Results Overview

For the first quarter of 2020, net revenue was $397.3 million, an increase of 16.1% from $342.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. On a same branch basis, net revenue improved 12.1% from the prior year quarter. Residential same branch sales growth was 9.7% in the quarter, attributable to price gains and more favorable customer and product mix, compared to a decline in total completions of 2.2%. Our large commercial construction end-market had organic growth of 14.1%.

Gross profit improved 30.0% to $116.3 million from $89.4 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross profit* as a percent of total revenue was 29.3% which adjusts for the Company’s share-based compensation expense and branch start-up costs, compared to 26.2% for the same period last year. Selling and administrative expense, as a percent of net revenue, was 20.3% compared to 19.2% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted selling and administrative expense*, as a percent of net revenue, was 19.5% compared to 18.4% in the prior year quarter.

Net income was $16.0 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $8.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income* was $23.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to $15.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income adjusts for the impact of non-core items in both periods and includes an addback for non-cash amortization expense related to acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA* was $49.2 million, a 37.9% increase from $35.7 million in the prior year quarter, largely due to higher sales and improved gross profit margin compared to the prior year quarter.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP”), this press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin (i.e., Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue), Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Selling and Administrative expense. The reasons for the use of these measures, reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted Selling and Administrative expense to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included below following the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for IBP’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Selling and Administrative Expense measure performance by adjusting EBITDA, GAAP net income, gross profit and selling and administrative expense, respectively, for certain income or expense items that are not considered part of our core operations. We believe that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and us in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business.

We believe the Adjusted EBITDA measure is useful to investors and us as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as it measures our changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that impact operating performance, and removes the effect of our capital structure (primarily interest expense), asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), items outside our control (primarily income taxes) and the volatility related to the timing and extent of other activities such as asset impairments and non-core income and expenses. Accordingly, we believe that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. In addition, we use various EBITDA-based measures in determining the achievement of awards under certain of our incentive compensation programs. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure may not be directly comparable to measures of other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently for purposes of covenants contained in our revolving credit facility or any future facility.

Although we use the Adjusted EBITDA measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of the measure is limited because it does not include certain material expenses, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, GAAP net income as a measure of performance. Our presentation of this measure should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. This measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, this measure is not intended as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance, as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. You should therefore not place undue reliance on this measure or ratios calculated using this measure.

We also believe the Adjusted Net Income measure is useful to investors and us as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as it measures our changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that impact operating performance, and removes the effect of certain non-core items such as discontinued operations, acquisition related expenses, amortization expense, the tax impact of these certain non-core items, and the volatility related to the timing and extent of other activities such as asset impairments and non-core income and expenses. To make the financial presentation more consistent with other public building products companies, beginning in the fourth quarter 2016 we included an addback for non-cash amortization expense related to acquisitions. Accordingly, we believe that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other companies may define Adjusted Net Income differently and, as a result, our measure may not be directly comparable to measures of other companies. In addition, Adjusted Net Income may be defined differently for purposes of covenants contained in our revolving credit facility or any future facility.
