generally you clearly, individual still can't on on think, the of starts I fourth year entered of weaker we get mean, as hung backlog we health in starts. too the or orders, quarter. year call, I up an orders. with entered month healthy said of quarter mean, pretty a But the where there last I backlog the pretty builders with the so a

still and those we pretty lot us. how QX comparables so the tough least were you tend X And and of as trends some obviously about at year to X point year QX think kind at a to more for or there's look at quite and left trailing months this are still strong last of And flattish.

demand going be So, very and volume are market and of optimistic, overall. a that bottom good good performance. is overall maybe in reasons to the is the about us still terms where year for to very us line those is, we feel terms some that little But of of be XXXX bit in growth cautiously another I cause guess,

David Flitman

Trey Grooms

and the gross So on Jim just clarity margin. comment little understanding more we're sure bit you the make to get made a

kind I in I understood the hit I'm we - XQ. step down So, kind when the the and the down, XQ here to you go it's kind it pretty so normal does is step to then of through So think, well balance through in do year. it trail mentioned it's that guess, of flatten of does off Is going that or as year, about that the of But for question. something in trough we level the year? just the so

James Major

commodity the as might mean, back knows obviously, gets happen the market in who to by what year what I just it do the tougher then. Yes, might predict half of

earlier run expect some talked in step they we've And their of I level expect keep prices. these mix remain, prices year, in about XXXX. obviously, where with benefits QX seen are think commodity as in remains from by more maybe for have we above would one the a Yes, a overall a you in what remarks, If said you would stayed perhaps of you I nearer that would our the prepared down have range assume these course. in lower to that think would think is, past and we our then, of gross QX. step XX.X% you what that sales see, full And the just obviously, as today, part I so term and does little static margins to down our percentage Lumber XX.X%. at would anywhere

Trey Grooms

with kind kind also of cadence. And then just sticking of

color also headwinds some had the seasonal about of picture, macro sit start, the run the given talk seeing you here, the for gate XQ? some of guys then Can know demand XQ? the deflation. a today You said great of you give kind of year us the uptick. we on But more the in - the can and with typical I out especially here you you as any started

James Major

it's mean, Trey. here, early obviously, QX in still, I Yes. pretty

I that to this normal there what mortgage our even is maybe demand the reporting builders that were of late levels of - come weather, think, to are bit and the up a year. rates given into like April. last pretty certainly, rebound heading a But seasonal little a months little the that and QX, forward good dragged consistently. once down seeing look first more I from year a be little into seemed certainly still pent uptick shining of back that is bit and We're we'll the serving starts that's few even there curtailing have feel pretty sun demand

Trey Grooms

number maybe other that any he weather And of that to mentioned west the and way in or was? I very California it what well. on weather days out areas was quarter. Is the there like as prepared impacted quantify wet impact in know maybe Western anything that remarks

James Major

Yes. I an it I for I'm sure impact. overall business, much of that think mean, the was not

case mild last was last dry being it I frankly, year was a where to a more the think this and normal it wet. relative it quite then the year may more some image West and not East of was extent, where year been least wet, of winter. maybe last indicative Texas or quite as - a sort and mirror And flip of happened Coast to very the year, in at have and

significant just couple for year-over-year, so, I feel a the results of particularly geographic on QX the weather factor differences. overall a And was don't like company,

Trey Grooms

last been then for me. one has Multi-family focus guys. clearly a And for you

With above macro in on and overall the Is to just seeing multi-family you But to will have continued of Or macro and that environment. think backdrop an this looking - segment. you we're as putting the the be forth think area where about efforts guys how continue should quite that that you we outpace side a are front. you bit taking you been? seem that share guys over through that

David Flitman

had multi-family growth. of squarely focused that Trey, the we one And have all, pipelines in business we a quarter, mentioned on I would of strong is last we First strongest team we driving as say seen had continue I growth. continue is segment to seen will what driving we quite on see time. out pipeline and think in and that And to multi-family you've as that some playing in focus

Trey Grooms

that And of backlog? what's - type time line, the move through top generally it a to of takes kind generally that

James Major

X in make is on what follow I lag it multi-family in comment It start there months was That Dave's and do was more of between comment, longer is going is the the that X lot range. we to up a considerably than probably to was single-family. the in

over So generally well, has well, some X should to starts those months X, results up the some if versus the you measure as number which year. grown the not held against last there prior extent

Operator

from comes question Jay next Wedbush. Our McCanless with

James McCanless

you is had an The down demand terms year? more. that unit dig in to improvement bit California a down guys first question versus I Are seeing of or year-over-year last on little trending California still

David Flitman

we're seeing an improvement. I say wouldn't

James Major

we call, probably that in only harsh think is that just us. the said that here. of for impact one I here the winter market perhaps as April. on its It's Yes, of markets seen cloudiest has have we cloudiness not the had the that's is overall, that a even part And lingered but definitely weather the

on days, consistently of up - So full get sunny some get we right more demand hard to to But certainly think we there's a as some weather. a read the pent California there until result it's now.

James McCanless

to give do guess, may that? guys I more capacity thinking is like you up opportunity about it some so, offline start a be there take to something before you - follow that time little to or it's So is, may any

James Major

any even comfortable of some, about think of even if down we're other right? year, markets growth think enough remarks, is still I that very California think healthy, said the down in magnitude. is don't over there prepared we capacity if reductions the feel some I So that's the as course in we talking it's And importantly, I to offset that.

and You a the going are nice have to and got to states those Colorado and in positions California, choosing California leave extent adjacent market and they're are Idaho obviously we people to to those the to places places. perhaps
