COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Installed Building Products, Inc. (the "Company" or "IBP") (NYSE: IBP), an industry-leading installer of insulation and complementary building products, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Highlights (Comparisons are to Prior Year Period)

“Record first quarter results were the result of strong market dynamics within our core residential housing markets. Our local branches continue to prudently align our selling prices with the value we offer our customers, supporting profitability and strong incremental margins. Gross margin expanded 60 basis points over the past year but ongoing supply constraints required us to make material purchases outside of our typical supply chain channels again this quarter. With a combination of strong volume and pricing growth during the period, we leveraged SG&A expenses and produced record first quarter earnings, adjusted earnings, and adjusted EBITDA,” stated Jeff Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Edwards, continued, “Despite ongoing supply chain constraints, we are committed to maintaining an exceptional level of service for our customers by completing jobs correctly and on schedule. I am proud of the continued resolve, hard work, and dedication of our teams across the country, especially in the current market environment.”

“With the substantial number of permitted new housing units that have yet to be started, residential construction is expected to remain supportive of our business in 2022. We also expect the seasonal trends we typically experience throughout the year to be more muted in 2022 given the strong industry backlog. Overall, 2022 is shaping up to be another year of profitable growth and value creation for IBP,” concluded Mr. Edwards.

Acquisition Update

IBP continues to prioritize profitable growth through its proven strategy of acquiring well-run installers of insulation and complementary building products. For 2022, IBP expects to acquire at least $100 million of revenue.

During the 2022 first quarter and April, IBP announced the following acquisitions:

• March 2022 - Pisgah Insulation and Fireplaces of NC, LLC, a Mills River, North Carolina based installer of spray foam insulation, fiberglass insulation, and fireplaces into new residential homes in the Asheville, North Carolina market, with annual revenue of approximately $8.5 million.
• April 2022 - Central Aluminum Supply Corporation, a Trenton, New Jersey based distributor of gutter supplies and accessories to residential, multifamily, and commercial markets, primarily in existing or retrofit construction projects across the U.S. Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, with annual revenue of approximately $45.0 million.

2022 Second Quarter Regular Cash Dividend and Share Repurchases

IBP’s Board of Directors has approved the Company’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.315 per share, payable on June 30, 2022, to stockholders of record on June 15, 2022. The second quarter regular cash dividend represents a 5% increase from last year’s second quarter cash dividend payment.

IBP repurchased 510,943 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $49.9 million, including commissions, during the first quarter of 2022. The Company has approximately $150 million of availability remaining under the Company’s current authorization, which expires March 1, 2023.

First Quarter 2022 Results Overview

For the first quarter of 2022, net revenue was a record $587.5 million, an increase of 34.4% from $437.1 million for the first quarter of 2021. On a consolidated same branch basis, net revenue improved 22.5% from the prior year quarter, which was attributable to a 9.7% increase in the volume of jobs completed and a 14.6% increase in price/mix during the first quarter relative to the same period last year. Residential sales growth within our Installation segment was 28.3% on a same branch basis in the quarter. Our commercial end-market net revenue within the Installation segment increased 13.0% for the first quarter of 2022. Commercial growth was largely driven by recent acquisitions as same branch sales were up 5.9% on a year-over-year basis, primarily due to continued challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Same branch sales within our heavy commercial business increased 0.5% over the prior year period.

Gross profit improved 37.5% to $172.4 million from $125.4 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross profit* as a percent of total revenue was 29.4% which adjusts for the Company’s share-based compensation expense, as well as expenses directly related to COVID-19, compared to 28.7% for the same period last year. First quarter gross profit was reduced by an estimated $1.4 million due to ongoing supply chain disruptions that occurred during the quarter, which reduced gross profit margin by approximately 20 basis points and had the same impact to operating profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margin*.

Selling and administrative expense, as a percent of net revenue, was 17.8% compared to 19.7% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted selling and administrative expense*, as a percent of net revenue, was 16.9% compared to 18.7% in the prior year quarter.

Net income was $33.8 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to $17.3 million, or $0.58 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income* was $45.7 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, compared to $26.8 million, or $0.90 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income accounts for the impact of non-core items in both periods, including an addback for non-cash amortization expense related to acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA* was $84.2 million, a 54.5% increase from $54.5 million in the prior year quarter, largely due to strong sales growth, improved gross margin, and leverage on selling and administrative expenses compared to 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.

Information on Segments

In the first quarter of 2022, we realigned our operating segments. This change resulted in our Company having three operating segments consisting of Installation, Distribution and Manufacturing. The Other category reported below reflects the operations of our Distribution and Manufacturing operating segments.

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.

The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, for the periods presented therein.
