DALLAS, Feb. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Builders FirstSource, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLDR) today reported its results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

The Company acquired ProBuild Holdings LLC (“ProBuild”) on July 31, 2015 (“Closing Date”). ProBuild’s financial results are included in the consolidated Company’s financial statements from the Closing Date forward and are not reflected in the consolidated Company’s historical financial statements. Accordingly, ProBuild’s financial results are not included in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) results for any periods prior to the Closing Date.

The Company has provided supplemental non-GAAP financial information of the consolidated company that is adjusted to include ProBuild’s financial results for the relevant periods prior to the Closing Date. These pro forma results (“Pro Forma”) were prepared assuming the ProBuild acquisition closed January 1, 2015. The Company has further adjusted results to exclude one-time integration, facility closure, and other one-time refinancing and other costs (“Adjusted”). The information included below includes non-GAAP financial information. Please refer to the accompanying financial schedules for more information, including non-GAAP reconciliations to their GAAP equivalents.

Commenting on the fiscal 2016 results, Builders FirstSource CEO Floyd Sherman remarked, “We grew sales by 5.5 percent, excluding closed locations, in the year, including 7.5 percent sales volume growth in the new residential construction end market. Our focus and investments we have made in manufacturing capacity are driving returns, with sales of our manufactured products growing 10.2 percent over 2015, and reaching an 18 percent product mix in the fourth quarter. We have created significant value through our synergy cost savings initiatives, with the current run rate synergy savings already reaching $100 million, within our guidance range at the acquisition close. Although we have more to capture from our integration efforts and opportunities to drive ongoing efficiencies, we have now implemented all actions necessary to capture $100 million of the cost savings associated with the ProBuild Acquisition. I attribute the success of this integration to our hard working associates across the organization. With the integration efforts largely behind us, we are increasing focus and resources toward profitable market share expansion and value-added products growth across our national network.”

Peter Jackson, Builders FirstSource CFO, commented, “We exceeded our cash flow guidance for the year, generating $119.9 million in cash from operations and investing and reducing our leverage ratio to 4.8x net debt/Adjusted EBITDA. I am very pleased with the progress we are making on de-leveraging. Cash flow generation will continue to be a priority for 2017, enabling debt reduction and funding organic growth opportunities to profitably expand our share of wallet.”

Outlook

Concluding, Mr. Sherman added, “I am confident in the outlook for our business. We are focused on growing our business in 2017, with an emphasis on revenue expansion, gaining market share and continuing to expand our operating margins. We believe we have the team, the scale and national footprint, the liquidity, and the expansive product offerings provided by our national manufacturing capabilities to create shareholder value that is among the best in our industry.”
