First Quarter Adjusted EBITDA Improves to $8.6 Million on an 8.2% Increase in Sales

April 24, 2014 (Dallas, TX) – Builders FirstSource, Inc. (NasdaqGS: BLDR),a leading supplier and manufacturer of structural and related building products for residential new construction in the United States, today reported its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

First quarter highlights include the following (see financial schedules for more information, including non-GAAP reconciliations):

• First quarter 2014 sales increased 8.2 percent to $345.9 million, when compared to the first quarter of 2013.

• Gross margin percentage improved to 21.7 percent, up from 19.5 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $8.6 million, up from $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Floyd Sherman, Builders FirstSource Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Despite the extreme winter weather that slowed construction activity across our markets and housing starts being relatively flat, we successfully grew sales and Adjusted EBITDA on a year-over-year basis. Our sales increased 8.2 percent and Adjusted EBITDA increased 59 percent when compared to the first quarter of 2013. For the same time period, the U.S. Census Bureau reported actual single-family starts for the South Region declined slightly by 0.1 percent. In addition, commodity deflation had a negative impact on our sales for the quarter. Lumber and lumber sheet good prices were, on average, 14 percent lower compared to a year ago, which we estimate negatively impacted sales for the current quarter by 2 to 3 percent. Our employees did a great job managing through the difficult weather conditions and again delivered strong financial results in the first quarter.”

Commenting on the first quarter results, Chad Crow, Builders FirstSource Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer added, “We increased our gross margin percentage by 220 basis points, primarily due to improved customer pricing and less intra-quarter price volatility in the commodity lumber markets compared to a year ago. Lumber and lumber sheet goods prices rose sharply during the first quarter of 2013 while prices fell during the first quarter of 2014. Disruptions caused by the winter weather negatively impacted our operational efficiency. However, we were still able to surpass our 2013 first quarter results.”

First Quarter 2014 Results Compared to First Quarter 2013

(See accompanying financial schedules for full financial details and reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents.)

• Sales were $345.9 million, an increase of $26.2 million or 8.2 percent. The increase was largely due to a 10.5 percent increase in volume, offset somewhat by decreased market prices for commodity lumber products which were, on average, 14 percent lower compared to the same period last year.

• Gross margin percentage was 21.7 percent, up from 19.5 percent last year. Our gross margin percentage increased primarily due to improved customer pricing and less volatility in commodity lumber prices versus the first quarter of 2013.

• Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $8.2 million, or 13.5 percent. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expense increased to 20.0 percent compared to 19.1 percent in the first quarter of 2013.

• Interest expense was $8.8 million, a decrease of $3.7 million when compared to the first quarter of 2013 as a result of our second quarter of 2013 refinancing. See supplemental schedule attached.

• We recorded a $0.1 million income tax benefit compared to $0.3 million of expense in the first quarter of 2013. We recorded an increase in the after-tax, non-cash valuation allowance of $1.0 million and $4.4 million in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Both were related to our net deferred tax assets. Absent the valuation allowance, the effective tax rate would have been 33.1 percent and 36.3 percent in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, our gross federal income tax net operating loss available for carry-forward was approximately $270 million.

• Loss from continuing operations improved to $3.3 million, or $0.03 loss per diluted share, compared to $11.6 million, or $0.12 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted loss from continuing operations was $1.1 million, or $0.01 loss per diluted share, compared to $6.8 million, or $0.07 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013. See reconciliation attached.

• Net loss was $3.4 million, or $0.03 loss per diluted share, compared to $11.8 million, or $0.12 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013.

• Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 97.6 million compared to 96.0 million in the first quarter of 2013.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $8.6 million, or 2.5 percent of sales, compared to $5.4 million, or 1.7 percent of sales, in the first quarter of 2013. See reconciliation attached.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

• Total liquidity at March 31, 2014 was approximately $223.9 million, and includes $62.8 million of cash and $161.1 million in borrowing availability under our revolver. We had no borrowings during the quarter under our revolver.

• Operating cash flow was positive $13.8 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to negative $25.2 million for the first quarter of 2013. The difference was primarily attributable to our improved financial performance and a reduction in working capital during the first quarter of 2014.

• Capital expenditures were $5.3 million compared to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Outlook

Concluding, Mr. Sherman said, “Harsh weather disrupted construction activity during the first quarter, which directly impacted our business. However, we believe the underlying demand for new housing remains strong, and with the weather problems from earlier this year behind us, the pace of construction should accelerate over the coming months. We also remain confident in our ability to use our scale and market share to continue delivering strong financial results.”
