HERNDON, VA. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (Nasdaq:BECN) (“Beacon” or the “Company”) announced results today for its first quarter ended December 31, 2018 (“2019”).

Paul Isabella, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “The first quarter of fiscal year 2019 was headlined by achieving record first quarter highs in both sales and Adjusted EBITDA. Consolidated net sales increased by more than 50% over the prior year, and we saw stabilizing organic net sales trends relative to the previous quarter. Our gross margins showed continued strength, improving by 130 bps and reflecting benefits from the Allied integration as well as disciplined Company and industry pricing behavior. Q1 2019 represented the third consecutive quarter we have produced a positive price-cost relationship, contributing to our highest first quarter gross margin percentage as a public company. We are excited to have reached theone-year anniversary of the acquisition of Allied; the integration continues to go well, and cost synergies remain on track with current expectations. These positive outcomes are underpinned by the fact that our business remains composed of70-75% repair and remodeling, which is largely demand that is anon-discretionary in nature. We remain focused on returning to positive organic sales growth during 2019 by leveraging our industry leading digital platform and key growth initiatives to drive market outperformance.”

Existing markets net sales, excluding acquisitions, decreased 1.9% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to weather-related events.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)	$	46,500		$	0.60		$	46,737		$	0.68

¹  Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income that excludesnon-recurring acquisition costs, the amortization of intangibles, business restructuring costs, and thenon-recurring effects of tax reform. 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 after assuming the full conversion of the participating Preferred Stock.

²  The weighted-average share count utilized in the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2018 is 77,942,639. This amount is the 68,248,020 diluted weighted-average shares outstanding plus the assumed conversion of 9,694,619 weighted-average shares of participating Preferred Stock, which were excluded from the GAAP net income (loss) per share calculation for the period due to their anti-dilutive nature. The weighted-average share count utilized in the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2017 is 69,244,678.

³  Three months ended December 31, 2018 amount is composed of $11.9 million ofnon-recurring acquisition costs ($8.8 million, net of tax) and $52.0 million of amortization expense related to intangibles ($38.5 million, net of tax). Three months ended December 31, 2017 amount is composed of $17.8 million ofnon-recurring acquisition costs ($12.7 million, net of tax) and $18.2 million of amortization expense related to intangibles ($12.9 million, net of tax).

⁴  Impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

We use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS to evaluate financial performance, analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used when allocating resources. We expect to compute Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS consistently using the same methods each period.

We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are useful measures because they permit investors to better understand changes in underlying operating performance over comparative periods by providing financial results that are unaffected by cyclical variances that can be driven by items such as investment activity or purchase accounting adjustments.

While we believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are useful to investors when evaluating our business, they are not prepared and presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. 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. In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS may have material limitations and may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
