Stock Building Supply Announces Third Quarter 2013 Results

Adjusted EBITDA of $10.4 million on Net Sales Increase of 28.4%

Raleigh, NC - October 30, 2013 - Stock Building Supply Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: STCK), a large, diversified lumber and building materials distributor and solutions provider that sells primarily to new construction and repair and remodel contractors, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

• Net sales of $328.5 million, up 28.4%, compared to $255.8 million in the prior year period

• Adjusted EBITDA of $10.4 million, compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period

• Net loss of $5.5 million, including $9.3 million of initial public offering ("IPO") transaction-related costs, compared to net income of $0.04 million in the prior year period

• Completed its IPO on August 14, 2013, yielding approximately $46.8 million of proceeds that were used to repay borrowings under the Company's revolver

• Cash provided by operating activities of $4.2 million, including the payment of $9.3 million of IPO transaction-related costs, compared to cash used in operating activities of $5.4 million in the prior year period

• Improved liquidity to approximately $92.0 million

"In the third quarter, our business performance continued its positive trend of strong revenue growth and increases in Adjusted EBITDA.  Additionally we completed our transition to a public company with a successful IPO on August 14th which helped improve our liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet," stated Jeff Rea, Chief Executive Officer of Stock Building Supply. "We believe our growth rate continues to outperform our industry benchmarks as revenues from new single-family construction increased approximately 31%, while repair and remodel revenues increased 28% compared to third quarter 2012."

Commenting on the third quarter results, Jim Major, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our third quarter performance reflects significant improvements in our operating results and capital structure.  We once again leveraged our cost structure to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales to 20.4% in the third quarter of 2013, compared to 21.9% in the third quarter of 2012.  The completion of our IPO in August combined with effective working capital management resulted in total debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, at September 30, 2013 of $57.2 million as compared to $116.6 million at the beginning of the quarter.  We believe our current capital structure will allow us to make the required investments in our business to support our anticipated future growth."

Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period

Net sales for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $328.5 million, up $72.7 million, or 28.4%, compared to $255.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. We estimate our net sales increased 23.4% related to increased volume and 5.0% due to increased selling prices. The increase in sales volume was primarily driven by increased single-family housing starts and increased demand arising from higher repair and remodel activity.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2013 was $75.4 million, up $16.9 million, or 28.8%, compared to $58.5 million in the third quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of increased sales volumes. The gross margin percentage of 22.9% was unchanged compared to the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses during the third quarter of 2013 were $66.9 million, up $10.9 million, or 19.6%, from $56.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. This increase was primarily driven by variable costs to serve higher sales volumes, such as sales commissions, shipping and handling costs and other variable compensation, which increased by $5.8 million. Other increases in SG&A related to incremental expenses from acquired operations and other strategic investments to better serve our customers and support the growth of our business.

Operating loss in the third quarter of 2013 was $2.9 million, compared to operating income of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. Net loss during the quarter totaled $5.5 million, or ($0.30) per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.04 million, or ($0.08) per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company's operating loss and net loss were impacted by $9.3 million of IPO transaction-related costs, which included a $9.0 million fee for terminating our management services agreement with The Gores Group, LLC ("Gores"). Approximately $9.2 million of the IPO transaction-related costs were not deductible for tax purposes and this was one of the factors that resulted in an effective tax rate from continuing operations of (55.0)% for the third quarter of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2013 totaled $10.4 million, up $6.1 million, compared to $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. Adjusted income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2013 increased $3.8 million to $4.2 million, compared to $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2012. A reconciliation of non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided as an appendix to this release.

Total liquidity as of September 30, 2013 was approximately $92.0 million, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million and $81.5 million of borrowing availability under our existing revolver. Borrowings under the revolver decreased during the third quarter of 2013, primarily related to $46.8 million in IPO proceeds used to pay down the existing balance.

Outlook

Concluding, Mr. Rea said, "While we expect the normal seasonal and weather related slow-down in our business as we enter the winter months, we believe macroeconomic trends remain favorable for year-over-year improvement in our core markets. With the short- and mid-term objective of accelerating both our revenue growth and profitability, we plan to continue to invest in our strategic initiatives to better serve our core customers, expand our capacity and increase our operating capabilities."

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

(unaudited)

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus discontinued operations, net of taxes, restructuring expense, IPO transaction-related costs, management fees, non-cash compensation expense, acquisition costs, severance and other expenses related to store closures and business optimization and other expense resulting from the reduction of a tax indemnification asset. Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations is defined as net income as adjusted for the same items deducted from EBITDA in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, and after tax effecting those items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and operating results. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other distribution and retail companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Our management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations in isolation or as alternatives to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. Some of these limitations are: (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments and (v) although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP results. You should review the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and to Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
