April 23, 2015 (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, 2015.
First quarter highlights include the following (see financial schedules for more information, includingnon-GAAP reconciliations):
| | • | | First quarter 2015 sales increased to $371.0 million, up 7.2 percent, compared to $345.9 million for the first quarter of 2014. |
| | • | | Gross margin percentage was 22.6 percent, up 90 basis points from 21.7 percent in the first quarter of 2014. |
| | • | | Adjusted EBITDA was $11.3 million, compared to $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2014. |
| | • | | Completed the acquisition of Timber Tech Texas, a manufacturer of roof and floor trusses, located in the San Antonio metro area. 2014 sales for Timber Tech were approximately $4.4 million. |
| | • | | Total liquidity at March 31, 2015 was $141.2 million, including $36.8 million of cash and $104.4 million in borrowing availability under our revolver. |
Commenting on the company’s results, Builders FirstSource CEO Floyd Sherman said, “I am extremely pleased with our start to fiscal 2015, as our first quarter sales of $371 million and our Adjusted EBITDA of over $11 million exceeded our first quarter 2014 results. We were able to achieve these positive results despite the negative impact of commodity deflation on our current quarter sales, as average market prices for framing lumber have fallen 11.8 percent since the beginning of the year, and are down 13.6 percent when compared to the first quarter of 2014. As a result, our lumber and lumber sheet good sales were down 1.0 percent versus first quarter 2014 sales in the same product category. However, our value-added sales of prefabricated components, windows & doors, and millwork increased 12.8 percent versus first quarter 2014 sales in the same product categories, largely due to our recent acquisitions.”
Chad Crow, Builders FirstSource President, COO and CFO, added, “Our 90 basis point improvement in gross margin reflects ouron-going focus on profitable growth. Adjusted EBITDA flow thru on incremental sales for the quarter was approximately 11%, as we increased our Adjusted EBITDA margin by 50 basis points.”

First Quarter 2015 Results Compared to First Quarter 2014
(See accompanying financial schedules for full financial details and reconciliations ofNon-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents.)
| | • | | Sales were $371.0 million, an increase of $25.1 million or 7.2 percent. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, we estimate sales volume increased approximately 2.2 percent for the quarter, which was offset 1.0 percent by the negative impact of commodity price deflation on our sales. |
| | • | | Gross margin percentage was 22.6 percent, up from 21.7 percent last year. Our gross margin percentage increased largely due to improved customer pricing and a higher mix ofvalue-added sales. |
| | • | | Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $13.5 million to $82.8 million. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expense increased to 22.3 percent compared to 20.0 percent in the first quarter of 2014. Of the $13.5 million increase, $5.5 million was acquisition costs primarily related to the recently announced ProBuild transaction, $0.8 million related to an increase in stock compensation expense and $1.0 million related to an increase in depreciation and amortization. Excluding these increases, our SG&A expense was 20.4 percent of sales in the current quarter versus 20.0 percent of sales in the same quarter a year ago. This remaining increase was largely the result of investments made in employees and equipment to support current and future sales growth, and to a lesser degree, the negative impact of commodity price deflation on our sales. |
| | • | | Interest expense was $7.6 million, a decrease of $1.2 million. The decrease was primarily related to a $1.4 million reduction in thenon-cash, fair value adjustment related to stock warrants issued in conjunction with our 2011 term loan. See supplemental schedule attached. |
| | • | | We recorded $0.2 million of income tax expense compared to a $0.1 million income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2014. We recorded an increase to theafter-tax,non-cash valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets of $3.1 million and $1.0 million in the first quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Absent the valuation allowance, the effective tax rate would have been 42.1 percent and 33.1 percent in the first quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, our gross federal income tax net operating loss available forcarry-forward was approximately $264 million. |
| | • | | Loss from continuing operations was $7.2 million, or a $0.07 loss per diluted share, compared to $3.3 million, or a $0.03 loss per diluted share. Adjusted loss from continuing operations was $2.0 million, or a $0.02 loss per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million, or a $0.02 loss per diluted share in the first quarter of 2014. See reconciliation attached. |
| | • | | Adjusted EBITDA was $11.3 million, or 3.0 percent of sales, compared to $8.6 million, or 2.5 percent of sales. See reconciliation attached. |

Outlook
Concluding, Mr. Sherman added, “Demand for new housing continues to slowly yet consistently improve, and we look to use this momentum to grow our revenues and market share, while continuing to improve our operating margins. Our recently announced transaction with ProBuild, which we expect to close in the second half of 2015, will be a high priority for us in the coming months, and we look forward to being able to bring the best talent in the industry together as one team. We believe this transaction significantly enhances our opportunity for growth, and we have never been more excited about the future prospects for our company.”
