Exhibit 99.1
(BW)(MA-BEACON-ROOFING)(BECN) Beacon Roofing Supply Reports Record First-Quarter 2006 Results; Earnings Increase 48 Percent.
PEABODY, Mass.— (BUSINESS WIRE) —Feb. 9, 2006—Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (Nasdaq: BECN) (the “Company”) announced today record performance for the first fiscal 2006 quarter ended December 31, 2005.
Sales increased 70.6% to a record $339.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 (“2006”) from $199.2 million in fiscal 2005 (“2005”), reflecting strong internal growth of 14.3%, with strong sales in all three major product lines: residential roofing, non-residential roofing and complementary building products. Shelter Distribution (“Shelter”), acquired in mid-October 2005, JGA Corp. (“JGA”), acquired in mid-December 2004, and our other companies acquired since the beginning of 2005, contributed the remaining sales increase. The Company also opened eight new branches since December 31, 2004.
Gross profit increased 66.3% to $83.7 million in 2006 from $50.3 million in 2005. Gross margin declined from 25.3% to 24.6%, primarily due to the inclusion of JGA and its lower gross margin product mix for the full first quarter this year. However, the Company’s gross margin in existing markets improved to 25.8% in 2006 from 25.5% in 2005, primarily due to a slight increase in vendor incentive rebates and improved pricing in certain regions.
Operating expenses increased $25.0 million, or 75.7%, in 2006 compared to 2005, reflecting increases of $21.2 million from our acquired companies and $3.8 million, or an increase of 11.6%, in existing markets. The existing market increase was primarily due to higher payroll costs and other expenses associated with the sales volume increase. As a percentage of net sales, overall operating expenses increased to 17.1% in 2006 from 16.6% in 2005 due to a higher operating expense rate of 18.7% from our acquired companies. However, our operating expense rate in existing markets declined to 16.2% from 16.6%, primarily due to the leveraging of our fixed costs over the higher sales volume.
Operating income increased 48.3% to a record $25.7 million in 2006
from $17.3 million in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, operating income declined to 7.6% from 8.7%, reflecting a lower operating margin in our acquired companies. Due to the higher gross margin and lower expense rate discussed above, our existing market operating margin rose to 9.6% from 8.9%.
Interest expense increased $3.1 million to $4.0 million in 2006 due to higher borrowings (utilized to finance our acquisitions) and higher interest rates, partially offset by the benefit from the successful public sale of two million shares of our common stock in December 2005. In connection with the Shelter acquisition in October 2005, the Company and its lenders amended the Company’s revolving lines of credit and term loans to, among other things, increase the revolving lines of credit and term loans to totals of $230 and $80 million, respectively. The net proceeds from the December public offering totaled $51.6 million, which were used to pay down our revolver borrowings.
The Company achieved record first-quarter net income of $12.9 million in 2006 compared to net income of $8.7 million in 2005, an increase of 47.6%. Net income in 2005 included a $0.9 million charge for the early of retirement of debt. The Company has estimated an annual income tax rate of 40.5% for fiscal 2006 compared to the rate of 43.7% provided for in last year’s first quarter. The annual fiscal 2005 income tax rate was 40.0%.
Diluted net income per share for the first quarter was $0.46 in 2006 compared to $0.32 per share in 2005.
Cash flow from operations was $22.9 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $12.8 million in 2005. The Company used a portion of its 2006 cash from operations to increase inventories, exclusive of the effects of businesses acquired, by $15.6 million in anticipation of a continued strong sales growth rate.
Robert Buck, the Company’s President & Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We had another terrific quarter that exceeded our expectations and included the major acquisition of Shelter that has provided us access to many new and exciting markets. We are working on the integration of our recent acquisitions while we continue to look for further opportunistic acquisitions, such as the ones we completed last month that allowed us to penetrate additional new high-growth markets. Our employees’ focus on providing our customers with high-quality services and products continues to be the foundation of our operational success.”

(a) Excludes branches from markets acquired during fiscal 2006 and 2005, such as Shelter and JGA. Total sales in acquired markets
of $116.7 million plus total sales of $223.2 million in existing markets equal the total fiscal 2006 first-quarter sales of $339.9 million. Total 2005 existing market sales of $195.3 million plus 2005 sales from JGA of $3.9 million equal the total 2005 sales of $199.2 million. We believe the existing market information is useful to investors because it helps explain organic growth.
