In addition, 2019 was another strong year for acquisition growth as we completed eight acquisitions, representing $64 million of annual revenue during the year.”

“Our record results reflect the ongoing dedication of our more than 8,000 employees across the U.S. Our commitment to our employees through our financial wellness program, longevity stock program, and various community engagement programs continue to have a positive impact on employee retention rates as evidenced by our improved employee turnover in 2019 which remains well below the industry average.”

“As we look to the new year, the housing market remains healthy, the pricing environment continues to follow historic trends, and we expect to continue to benefit from our national platform, profit focused business model, and the increasing diversification of our business. I am extremely proud of the financial and operating accomplishments we achieved in 2019 and remain excited by the continued opportunities IBP has to grow and create even greater value for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Edwards.
