"Record revenues and an improving pricing environment helped IBP produce record adjusted EBITDA* for the 2018 second quarter,” stated Jeff Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to successfully negotiate better pricing with our customers and experienced strong price momentum during the quarter. Based on current and improving market conditions, we believe pricing will continue to improve throughout the remainder of the year, which will benefit margins and incremental earnings. In addition, IBP produced strong operating leverage during the quarter with selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues at the lowest level we’ve reported since the Company went public in 2014.

"We remain committed to our acquisition growth strategy and believe we have developed a strong, unique, and experienced platform. Since our IPO in 2014, we have acquired a diverse group of installation businesses, representing more than 40 companies and approximately $425 million of annual revenues at the time of acquisition. IBP’s pipeline remains strong as we continue to pursue accretive acquisitions that expand our geographic presence and diversify our product and end market mix. We continue to expect 2018 will be another year of record sales and earnings.”

Second Quarter 2018 Results Overview

For the second quarter of 2018, net revenue was $332.6 million, an increase of 17.9% from $282.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. On a same branch basis, net revenue improved 11.3% from the prior year quarter. Residential same branch sales growth was 12.1% in the quarter, with more than half of the increase attributable to growth in the number of completed jobs and the remainder through price gains and more favorable customer and product mix. Same branch single-family sales grew 14.5% during the second quarter, outpacing the growth in U.S. single-family housing completions of 6.5%, while our large commercial construction end market had organic growth of 4.1%.

Gross profit improved 12.6% to $95.6 million from $84.9 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross profit* as a percent of total revenue was 28.9% which adjusts for the Company’s share-based compensation expense, financial wellness program and branch start-up costs, compared to 30.1% for the same period last year.

Selling and administrative expense, as a percentage of net revenue, was 18.3% compared to 19.6% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted selling and administrative expense*, as a percentage of net revenue, improved 100 basis points to 17.6% from 18.6%. Higher net revenue in the 2018 second quarter more than offset the higher costs needed to support the Company’s growth.

Net income was $16.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to $12.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income* was $24.6 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to $18.7 million, or $0.59 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 $45.6 million, a 16.2% increase from $39.2 million in the prior year quarter, largely due to higher sales and improved selling and administrative leverage. Adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of net revenue, was 13.7%, compared to 13.9% in 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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.
