Beacon Roofing Supply Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

August 6, 2019 4:01 PM

HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (Nasdaq: BECN) (“Beacon” or the “Company”) announced results today for its third quarter and nine-month period ended June 30, 2019 (“2019”).

Paul Isabella, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Although our fiscal third quarter results fell short of expectations, there were several positives supporting optimism for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020. Most notably, we saw a 3% organic sales increase within our residential product line, our 2nd consecutive quarter of positive growth. In addition, we reduced our debt and our digital platform performance was exceptional; Beacon Pro+ is unquestionably continuing to evolve as a differentiator in the marketplace. July results also were favorable on a daily sales basis, suggesting underlying demand remains healthy. Overall, third quarter results were hampered by persistent weather challenges, resulting primarily from 25-30% more rain days compared to the prior year. This translates into approximately $85 million of sales and 20 cents of Adjusted EPS impact, affecting both gross margins and operating expense leverage. To further right size our fixed cost structure, we have taken specific company-wide actions that will generate annualized savings of approximately $25 million. These efforts will result in greater operating leverage when volumes increase, as expected in Q4 and next year. Beacon will remain focused on our growth initiatives and cost reduction in order to maximize performance for our shareholders.”

Third Quarter

Net sales decreased 0.5% to $1.92 billion in 2019, from $1.93 billion in 2018. Residential roofing product sales increased 2.9%, non-residential roofing product sales decreased 2.4% and complementary product sales decreased 3.6% over the prior year. Existing markets net sales decreased 1.1% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher rainfall levels across the U.S. in the current period, which negatively impacted contractor installations. The third quarter of fiscal years 2019 and 2018 each had 64 business days.

Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $25.0 million, compared to $43.4 million in 2018. Diluted net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) was $0.32, compared to $0.55 in 2018. Third quarter results were negatively impacted by reduced gross margins and higher operating costs. The Company implemented actions at the end of the quarter to significantly reduce its cost structure to align with its long-term goals.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $72.6 million, compared to $93.4 million in 2018. Adjusted EPS was $0.92, compared to $1.18 in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA was $157.8 million, compared to $187.7 million in 2018. (Please see the included financial tables for a reconciliation of “Adjusted” financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as well as further detail on the components driving the net changes over the comparative periods.)

Nine Months

Net sales increased 13.2% to $5.08 billion, up from $4.48 billion in the comparative 2018 period. Residential roofing product sales increased 8.7%, non-residential roofing product sales increased 4.8% and complementary product sales increased 27.1% over the prior year. Existing markets net sales increased 0.9% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to sales gains in our Northeast and Mid-Atlantic markets. The first nine months of fiscal years 2019 and 2018 each had 189 business days.

Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $(56.0) million, compared to $38.3 million in 2018. EPS was $(0.82), compared to $0.51 in 2018. The nine-month results were negatively impacted by higher operating costs and increases in interest expense and preferred dividend payments that were both related to the acquisition of Allied. In addition, 2018 results include a $49.2 million net tax benefit resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The nine-month results were positively impacted by price gains across all product lines.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $94.2 million, compared to $122.6 million in 2018. Adjusted EPS was $1.21, compared to $1.62 in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA was $307.0 million, compared to $305.3 million in 2018. (Please see the included financial tables for a reconciliation of “Adjusted” financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as well as further detail on the components driving the net changes over the comparative periods).

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income that excludes acquisition costs, business restructuring costs, and the effects of tax reform. Adjusted net income (loss) per share or "Adjusted EPS" is calculated by dividing the Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the period by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the period after assuming the full conversion of the participating Preferred Stock.

2

The weighted-average share count utilized in the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is 78,960,003, which is equal to the 69,265,384 diluted weighted-average shares outstanding plus the assumed conversion of 9,694,619 weighted-average shares of participating Preferred Stock. The weighted-average share count utilized in the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2018 is 78,842,762, which is equal to the 69,148,143 diluted weighted-average shares outstanding plus the assumed conversion of 9,694,619 weighted-average shares of participating Preferred Stock. The shares of participating Preferred Stock were excluded from the GAAP net income (loss) per share calculations for both periods due to their anti-dilutive nature.

3

The weighted-average share count utilized in the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 is 78,086,501, which is equal to the 68,391,882 diluted weighted-average shares outstanding plus the assumed conversion of 9,694,619 weighted-average shares of participating Preferred Stock. The weighted-average share count utilized in the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 is 75,632,096, which is equal to the 69,240,040 diluted weighted-average shares outstanding plus the assumed conversion of 6,392,056 weighted-average shares of participating Preferred Stock. The shares of participating Preferred Stock were excluded from the GAAP net income (loss) per share calculations for both periods due to their anti-dilutive nature.

  1. Selling, general, and administrative costs related to acquisitions are mainly composed of professional fees, branch integration expenses, travel expenses, employee severance and retention costs, and other personnel expenses.

5

Business restructuring costs are mainly composed of costs stemming from headcount rationalization efforts.

6

Impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

7

The effective tax rate applied to these adjustments is calculated by using forecasted adjusted pre-tax income while factoring in estimated discrete tax adjustments for the fiscal year. The tax impact of adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were calculated using an effective tax rate of 33.1% and 29.5%, respectively. The tax impact of adjustments for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were calculated using an effective tax rate of 29.3% and 29.5%, respectively.

We use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS to evaluate financial performance, analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used when allocating resources.

We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are useful measures because they permit investors to better understand changes in underlying operating performance over comparative periods by providing financial results that are unaffected by cyclical variances that can be driven by items such as investment activity or purchase accounting adjustments.

While we believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are useful to investors when evaluating our business, they are not prepared and presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. You should not consider Adjusted Net Income (Loss) or Adjusted EPS in isolation or as a substitute for net income and net income per share or diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS may have material limitations including, but not limited to, the exclusion of certain costs without a corresponding reduction of net income for the income generated by the assets to which the excluded costs are related. In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, and business restructuring costs. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the distribution industry, and we present Adjusted EBITDA to enhance your understanding of our operating performance.

2

Represents selling, general, and administrative costs related to acquisitions (excluding the impact of tax). Other items the Company classifies as acquisition costs are embedded in other balances of the table.

3

Business restructuring costs are mainly composed of costs stemming from headcount rationalization efforts.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate financial performance, analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used when allocating resources. We expect to compute Adjusted EBITDA consistently using the same methods each period.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it permits investors to better understand changes in underlying operating performance over comparative periods by providing financial results that are unaffected by cyclical variances that can be driven by items such as investment activity or purchase accounting adjustments.

While we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors when evaluating our business, it is not prepared and presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operations, or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may have material limitations including, but not limited to, the exclusion of certain costs without a corresponding reduction of net income for the income generated by the assets to which the excluded costs are related. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
