Continental Building Products, Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Description of Business
Continental Building Products, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation. Prior to the acquisition of the gypsum division of Lafarge North America Inc. ("Lafarge N.A.") described below, the Company had no operating activity. The Company manufactures gypsum wallboard related products for commercial and residential buildings and houses. The Company operates a network of three highly efficient wallboard facilities, all located in the eastern United States, and produces joint compound at one plant in the United States and at another plant in Canada.
The Acquisition
On June 24, 2013, the Company's former controlling stockholder entered into a definitive agreement with Lafarge N.A. to purchase the assets of its North American gypsum division for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $703 million (the "Acquisition") in cash. The closing of the Acquisition occurred on August 30, 2013.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
(b)Basis of Presentation for Interim Periods
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included for the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented. Management believes that the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.2019. Seasonal changes and other conditions can affect the sales volumes of the Company's products. Therefore, the financial results for any interim period do not necessarily indicate the expected results for the year.
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20172018 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended.ended (the "2018 10-K"). The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in those financial statements.
(c)RevenueSupplemental Cash Flow Disclosure
Revenue from the sale of gypsum products is recognized when control of the promised products is transferred to the Company's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the

 $299
Other activity:

(d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
The Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products (the transaction price). A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product to a customer and is the unit of account underadopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards CodificationUpdate ("ASC"ASU") Topic 606. Control transfers to the customer at a point in time. To indicate the transfer2016-02, "Leases.", as of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer and the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Generally, the Company satisfies its performance obligations within a number of days from the time the contract is executed.
January 1, 2019. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings, including promotions and other volume-based incentives, in the period in which the sale occurs.
Amounts billed to a customer at the transaction price are included in net sales, and costs incurred for shipping and handling are treated as fulfillment costs and are classified as cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 17, Segment reporting, for disaggregation of revenue by segment.
As of September 30, 2018, accounts receivables were $39.6 million. The Company had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2018. The Company does not have any material payment terms as payment is received shortly after the point of sale.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-9 for all entities by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU requires retroactive application on either a full or modified basis. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded it has one revenue stream and the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This ASU reduces existing diversity in the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statements of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." The new standard requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intercompany sales or transfers of assets, other than inventory, in the income statement as income tax expense (or benefit) in the period the sales or transfer occurs. The standard requires companies to apply a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt the standard on January 1, 2019.
The Company will take advantage ofelected the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard,ASU 2016-02, which among other things, allows companiesallowed the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company is electingelected the comparative period practical expedient, which allowsallowed the Company to implement the guidance as of the effective date without having to adjust the comparative financial statements. Instead, under this expedient, companies will recognize the cumulative effect adjustment in equity. The Company will also makemade an accounting policy election that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less will not be recorded on the balance sheet and will result in the recognition of those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. WhileThe adoption of the standard resulted in recognition of approximately $1.0 million in right of use assets and $1.7 million in lease liabilities for

operating leases on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, with no impact to its retained earnings, Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The Company is continuingadopted ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to evaluateAccounting for Hedging Activities," as of January 1, 2019. This ASU expands an entity's ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk.

Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of business, the Company executes contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry. These indemnifications might include claims relating to any of the following: environmental and tax matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which the Company may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, it is the opinion of management that these guarantees and indemnifications are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in certain legal actions and claims, including proceedings under laws and regulations relating to environmental and other matters. Because such matters are subject to many uncertainties and

the outcomes are not predictable with assurance, the total liability for these legal actions and claims cannot be determined with certainty. When the Company determines that it is probable that a liability for environmental matters, legal actions or other contingencies has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, an estimate of the costs to be incurred is recorded as a liability in the financial statements. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, such liabilities were not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. While management believes its accruals for such liabilities are adequate, the Company may incur costs in excess of the amounts provided. Although the ultimate amount of liability that may result from these matters or actions is not ascertainable, any amounts exceeding the recorded accruals are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

19. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using estimated market rates of debt instruments with similar maturities and credit profiles. These inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the carrying value reported in the consolidated balance sheet for the Company's notes payable approximated its fair value. The only assets or liabilities the Company had at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the natural gas hedges and interest rate swaps. Generally, the Company obtains its Level 2 pricing inputs from its counterparties. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets and goodwill. These items are recognized at fair value when they are considered to be impaired.
There were no fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

20. BUCHANAN PLANT OUTAGE
On January 24, 2019, Company's Buchanan, New York plant experienced a significant equipment malfunction, resulting in an outage at the plant. The plant was off-line while repairs were made through March 15, 2019. While the Buchanan plant was down, the Company increased production at its plants in Silver Grove, Kentucky and Palatka, Florida to offset a portion of the lost production from the Buchanan plant.
The Company has standard insurance coverage that is intended to cover circumstances such as these, including business interruption insurance. The Company's insurance coverage is designed to cover the direct costs of rebuilding the damaged equipment, costs incurred to re-direct products from the Company's other plants, and the lost contribution margin of the sales that otherwise would have been made if the plant was operating normally.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded $3.2 million to compensate for operating income associated with the lost sales from business interruption that otherwise would have been made if the plant had been operating normally. The Company is working closely with its insurance advisers and carrier to finalize the claim associated with business interruption coverage.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with "Risk Factors," "Forward-Looking Statements," "Selected Historical Financial and Operating Data," and our financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 20172018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 201822, 2019 (the "2017"2018 Form 10-K") and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable.
Overview
We are a leading manufacturer of gypsum wallboard and complementary finishing products in the eastern United States and eastern Canada. We operate highly efficient and automated manufacturing facilities that produce a full range of gypsum wallboard products for our diversified customer base. We sell our products in the new residential, repair and remodel, or R&R, and commercial construction markets.
Our primary reportable segment is wallboard, which accounted for approximately 97.6%97.2% and 97.3% of our net sales for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, respectively, compared to 96.8%97.4% and 96.8%97.1% of our net sales for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, respectively. We also operate other business activities, primarily the production of finishing products, which complement our full range of wallboard products. See Note 1718 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our reporting segments.
Factors Affecting Our Results
Market
For the new residential construction market, housing starts are a good indicator of demand for our gypsum products. Installation of our gypsum products into a single family home typically follows a housing start by 90 to 120 days. The R&R market includes renovation of both residential and nonresidential buildings. Many buyers begin to remodel an existing home within two years of purchase. The generally rising levels of existing home sales and home resale values in recent years have contributed to an increase in demand for our products from the R&R market. The commercial construction market encompasses areas such as office, retail, heath care, hospitality, educational and government projects. Demand for our products from commercial construction typically follows signing of construction contracts by 12 to 18 months.
The rate of growth in the new residential construction market, R&R market, and the new nonresidential construction market remains uncertain and will depend on broader economic circumstances, including employment, household formation, the home ownership rate, existing home price trends, availability of mortgage financing, interest rates, consumer confidence, job growth, availability of skilled labor and discretionary business investment.
Wallboard pricing can be impacted by overall industry capacity in the United States. Currently, there is excess wallboard production capacity industry-wide in the United States which can lead to downward pressure on wallboard prices. We estimate that industry capacity utilization was approximately 73%77% and 74%75% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, respectively, compared to 75%81% and 74% for the same periodsperiod of 2017.2018.
Market Outlook
Most forecasts continue to project growth in housing starts. Industry Analysts' forecasts for 20182019 housing starts in the United States included in the most recentJune 2019 Blue Chip Economic Indicators are 1.261.17 million to 1.301.28 million units, based on the average of the bottom ten and top ten forecasts included in the report, respectively. This forecast range represents a decrease of 6% to an increase inof 2% over the range of 5% and 8% over 20172018 housing starts of 1.201.25 million. We also expect that the R&R and new commercial construction markets will continuegrow in percentage by low single digits from 2018 to experience moderate growth.2019.
Industry shipments of gypsum wallboard in the United States as reported by the Gypsum Association were an estimated 6.26.5 billion square feet and 6.9 billion square feet for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018, down 1.8% from the same prior year period.respectively. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, industry shipments were 18.812.8 billion square feet, up 1.4%1.6% from the same prior year period. We estimate that industry shipments in the United States for all of 2018 to2019 will increase in thepercentage by low single digits from 25.324.9 billion square feet in 2017.2018.

Manufacturing and Distribution Costs
Paper and synthetic gypsum are our principal wallboard raw materials. Paper constitutes our most significant input cost and the most significant driver of our variable manufacturing costs. Energy costs, consisting of natural gas and electricity, are the other key input costs. In total, manufacturing cash costs represented 63% and 64% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 64% for both three2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017.2018. Depreciation and amortization represented 12% and 11% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 13% of our cost of goods sold for both three2019 and nine months ended September, 2017.2018. Distribution costs to deliver products to our customers represented 25% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018, compared to 23% for the same periods of 2017.2019 and 2018.
Variable manufacturing costs, including inputs such as paper, gypsum, natural gas, and other raw materials, represented 67% and 68%69% of our manufacturing cash costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 70% for both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019 and 2018. Fixed production costs excluding depreciation and amortization consisted of labor, maintenance, and other costs that represented 33% and 32%31% of our manufacturing cash costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 30% for both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019 and 2018. Recently we have experienced increases in the costs of production, including for certain raw materials such as gypsum and inrelated to the costs of freightneed to deliver products to our customers.source from additional suppliers at higher delivered costs. We expect to experience continued inflationary pressures on these costs for the foreseeable future.
We currently purchase most of our paperboard liner from Seven Hills, a joint venture between us and WestRock Company. Under the paper supply agreement with Seven Hills, the price of paper adjusts based on changes in the underlying costs of production of the paperboard liner, of which the two most significant are recovered waste paper and natural gas. The largest waste paper source used by the operation is old cardboard containers (known as OCC). Seven Hills has the capacity to supply us with approximately 80% of our paper needs at our full capacity utilization and most of our needs at current capacity utilization on market-based pricing terms. We also purchase additional paper on the spot market or under short-term contracts at competitive prices. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our investment in Seven Hills.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations, and borrowings under our debt financing arrangements. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had $105.5$110.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our current cash position, availability under our Revolver, access to the long-term debt capital markets and cash flow generated from operations should be sufficient not only for our operating requirements but also to enable us to complete our capital expenditure programs, fund share repurchases and any required long-term debt payments through the next several fiscal years. In addition, we have funds available from our revolving credit facilities and the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing.

Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional or local political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We believe that these factors include those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 20172018 Form 10-K.
