October 31, 2019 4:15 PM

DALLAS, Oct. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Builders FirstSource, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLDR) today reported its results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2019.

Highlights of the Third Quarter 2019 vs Third Quarter 2018:

“Our team delivered an impressive performance in the third quarter, producing above market growth in sales volume driven by increases across all of our product categories. We continued to see attractive returns from our strategic investments in manufacturing capacity, with double-digit volume growth in value-added products outpacing overall sales volume gains and elevating margins. In addition to our ongoing organic expansion in value-added products, we further strengthened our market position with the acquisition of three truss manufacturing facilities in Arizona and Nevada, expanding our overall geographic footprint to 77 of the top 100 U.S. metropolitan statistical areas. In addition, our operational excellence initiatives are delivering greater efficiencies and cost savings. Building on this strong momentum, our team’s disciplined execution delivered the 13th straight quarter of year-over-year increases in Adjusted EBITDA, achieving a quarterly record of 8.1 percent of net sales, since our acquisition of ProBuild,” said CEO Chad Crow.

“Our strong third quarter growth in sales volume and margins combined with our focus on working capital management generated another quarter of strong cash flow. We were also pleased to deploy capital on an accretive acquisition, while at the same time, further improving our ratio of net financial debt to Adjusted EBITDA to 2.5x,” added CFO Peter Jackson.

Outlook:“As we enter the end of the peak home buying season, the overall market outlook continues to improve. Homebuilders are increasingly catering to the demands of buyers with a more affordable and right-sized product. Our leadership in ongoing growth initiatives and investments in value-added products enable us to provide productivity solutions to help our customers pivot their offering to the demands of homebuyers. The above market growth in higher margin sales has favorably shifted our sales mix so that we expect normalized gross margin to remain above 26 percent in a stable commodity environment. The implementation of our strategic plan has positioned us to continue to deliver strong results as we execute on our operational excellence programs and build a stronger, more agile organization. I would like to thank our fifteen thousand team members for the milestones achieved this quarter and look forward to building on our strengths in the future,” concluded Mr. Crow.
