HERNDON, VA. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (NASDAQ: BECN) announced results today for its third quarter ended June 30, 2017 and nine months ended June 30, 2017 of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017 (“2017” or “Fiscal 2017”).

Paul Isabella, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Record sales and EPS highlighted our solid third quarter results. Existing residential roofing sales produced a thirteenth consecutive quarter ofyear-to-year gains, exhibiting great consistency. Our complementary products business posted strong 6.3% existing market growth, reflecting the healthy residential market and our focus on expanding complementary product offerings across our entire footprint. Overall existing market sales growth was encouraging when viewed against the significant rain disruptions in the Eastern U.S., consecutive mild winters lessening demand across Northern markets, and the challenging comparison to last year’s Q3. Despite the demand pressures, gross margins improved meaningfully on a sequential basis and remained solid in the quarter, which is encouraging for Q4. We have been pleased to see our pricing show increased signs of stabilization, which is on target with our previous expectations. Our operating cost leverage highlights continued focus on tight expense control, even as we invest in key initiatives across the company. As I look ahead to Q4, I believe that Beacon is well positioned for a strong fourth quarter and delivery of another year of great performance and earnings for our shareholders.”

Third Quarter

Total sales increased 5.3% to a third quarter record of $1.21 billion in third quarter 2017, from $1.15 billion in 2016. Residential roofing product sales increased 8.3%,non-residential roofing product sales declined 4.7%, and complementary product sales increased 15.7% over the prior year. Existing markets same day sales, excluding acquisitions, increased 2.2% for the quarter. The third quarter 2017 had an identical number of business days as the year ago period (64 vs. 64 days).

Net income for the third quarter was $44.7 million, compared to $41.1 million in 2016. Third quarter EPS was $0.73, compared to $0.68 in 2016. Adjusted Net Income, after removing the impact of certainnon-recurring costs related to acquisitions, was $51.4 million in the third quarter 2017, compared to $46.6 million in 2016. Third quarter Adjusted EPS was $0.84 (see included financial tables for a reconciliation of “Adjusted”), compared to $0.77 in 2016. Third quarter results were positively impacted by sustained strength in residential roofing, strong complementary products demand and attractive operating cost leverage. Operating performance was negatively impacted by a sales decline innon-residential roofing.

Nine Months

Total sales increased 4.5% to a nine-month record of $3.09 billion in 2017, from $2.95 billion in 2016. Residential roofing product sales increased 8.2%,non-residential roofing product sales decreased 8.1%, and complementary product sales increased 20.4% over the prior year. Existing market same day sales, excluding acquisitions, increased 1.3% year to date. The nine months of Fiscal 2017 and 2016 had 189 and 190 business days, respectively.

Net income for the nine months was $55.7 million, compared to $42.5 million in 2016. The nine-month EPS was $0.91, compared to $0.71 in 2016. Adjusted Net Income, after removing certainnon-recurring costs related to acquisitions, was $75.8 million year to date, compared to $72.9 million in 2016. The nine-month Adjusted EPS was $1.24 (see included financial tables for a reconciliation of “Adjusted”) compared to $1.21 in 2016. The net income for the nine months was positively impacted by existing market growth in residential roofing and complementary products, and operating margin expansion.

			��

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income excludingnon-recurring costs and the incremental amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2016 and 2017. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is an operating performance metric that is useful to investors because it permits investors to better understand year-over-year changes in underlying operating performance. Adjusted net income per share or “Adjusted EPS” is calculated by dividing the Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the period by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the period (see Consolidated Statements of Operations for amounts).

Acquisition costs reflect totalnon-recurring charges and the incremental amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2016 and 2017, net of $4.2 million and $2.9 million in tax for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and net of $12.6 million and $19.8 million in tax for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

While we believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are useful measures for investors, these are not measurements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). You should not consider Adjusted Net Income (Loss) or Adjusted EPS in isolation or as a substitute for net income and net income per share or diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjustments to contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, andnon-recurring acquisition costs from acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2016 and 2017. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the distribution industry, and we present Adjusted EBITDA to enhance your understanding of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used in our bank covenants and we use Adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measurement and as one criterion for evaluating our performance relative to that of our peers. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an operating performance measure that provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles, and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. Further, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it improves comparability of results of operations, since purchase accounting used for acquisitions can render depreciation and amortizationnon-comparable between periods. We use these supplemental measures to evaluate performance period over period and to analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. We expect to compute ournon-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method fromquarter-to-quarter andyear-to-year.

Acquisition costs reflect allnon-recurring charges related to acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2016 and 2017 (excluding the impact of tax) that are not embedded in other balances of the table. Certain portions of the total acquisition costs incurred are included in interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation.

While we believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for investors, it is not a measurement presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operations, or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA has inherent material limitations as a performance measure. It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization expense. Because we have capital and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our costs. Adjusted EBITDA also does not include stock-based compensation, which is a necessary element of our costs since we make stock awards to key members of management as an important incentive to maximize overall company performance and as a benefit. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA does not include taxes, and payment of taxes is a necessary element of our operations. Accordingly, since Adjusted EBITDA excludes these items, it has material limitations as a performance measure. We separately monitor capital expenditures, which impact depreciation expense, as well as amortization expense, interest expense, stock-based compensation expense, and income tax expense. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
