today from [Operator Michael coming JPMorgan. is Instructions] first Our question Rehaut from

Michael Rehaut

One pricing year price this question, has get I and progressed. realization of to wanted a sense as

from cost the or price You managing the talked about increases manufacturers. increases the

those any quarter price get might and/or year, lag passing outlook for, then quarter type the look And Just half and first the the of back the there's the you've towards second of experienced to that at year? the a wanted if quarter, you been? been half sense the and have the through for that what impact increases second first in back of if

Michael Miller

So this is Michael.

that What's heavy that's production strongest the other to mix about is one shift and note I of we think couple in most we've the the talked seen, first digits. both price/mix is pretty combination, associated sequential -- just sequential really mid-single relates products, includes of the the single-family -- headwind important improvement within past a as growth it headwinds we about and to as there growth quarter And we is and what of is the as in during we've a again, to quarter, is to our price production again, seeing talked about price the And builders. mix. that not important the builder is price/mix. mix We're combination for the of strong calls. note disclose, alone, up the with mix. but was that business, mix, price/mix insulation, particularly call, that insulation, the our But significant in talked towards

indicative maintain single-family inputs. that digit to we our to it's the of think cost for of relative ability pretty kind in was insulation, So price quarter, the price/mix mid-single fact the the

Jeff Edwards

across mean There's Jeff. a the to say we of increases. in just could process. I get time it's board, favorable little is bit But the always this inherent very that's a Well, price a lag.

Michael Miller

changes. still Yes. becomes fairly price true that they necessarily same-day And we've of actually products, it sometimes that That's insight the for say manufacturers we a when increase of effective. I you're terms been in announce where would price/mix from install, not getting the good other products, fiberglass of all getting and the when

in a So different the bit it's couple we've now just unlike dynamic seen past decades. of little any

Michael Rehaut

quarter, I your the days least of basis that quarter, in so that. de a perhaps the little that of maybe they type second caught in a there points highlighted materially of experienced a about that to manufacturers anything in second at appreciate I lag the there else, gap bit the was than had of quarter. a mentioned passing the little minimis And a just was just that No, work and of price couple through maybe more was they greater kind due them. first Right. XXX effectively in that, There increases completing guess, that for but ago, cycles competitor in from some narrowed lag and build really the elongated them, was that --

a I if I So you've in seen to that's that pass-through? the something If for. of terms what really that makes price that's looking was you, trend business of guess, kind your in

Michael Miller

first the to actions the products typical get or top than of were all of changing we're actually consequence, in It's I happened in able is backlog of built faster I have more period would they this quarter. going of times are construction limiting think what cost first got bit But seeing has than the the even of been second that -- little we the be realization in has that builders' because certainly And think that building sense the of interesting price limiting that and quarter behavior order I extended inflationary on half is much we would sense or they're this price better a quarter given builders what's into Yes. the environment. the is second in extended is and the orders, to the quarter, sales in inflation for allow widely the limiting what say, to year, full to the that in have the lag a a a the going better you're taking. in back see the that discussed house and as

Michael Rehaut

Okay.

just gross hit was quarter. sense the to for been little a a Secondly, an quarter little adjust On greater Last The get than the for for decline a basis adjusting bit hoping accounting if margin. XX points. bit on was impacts. adjusted basis, of year-over-year quarter, of you've or you last the this I gross profit storm

the decline, was the of go XX of again, should the that into basis? we half well to excluding bps a hoping and So on drivers impact back about year how I the year-over-year as think

Michael Miller

Yes.

mind second was important So company. I that think thing highest adjusted our the one quarter to is that keep public is we in as gross year a margin last reported ever

it the up some business, of everyone mentioned about else, in in comp was business also point the and commercial like Jeff which the couple of But which Alpha, So basis this about XX first a talked vast there gross makes basis had that we, we about. there's headwind the within us, his distribution commercial that besides some other there, call, and point where would about centers, challenges had points from a points to margin. Actually, very fuel. comp And had, clearly, prepared about we heavy we buying majority and as things remarks, talked the was basis think particularly the headwinds, we just was quarter out large that home XX I we for difficult. as definitely XX

we cost for sold because quarter to the half second XX 'XX to catch to the be But with say our the the kind are of as no quarter frankly, flat vehicle go quarter, although, are will -- I doubt if to second points costs a from it fuel, we're that had up 'XX was some into of last fleet. quite in starting total year, of the you of aspects of we there's that, to be basis goods at continue costs look going headwind other efficiencies running in Now to cost that year. relative fuel

Can me? you hear

Jeff Edwards

Yes.

Susan Maklari

how capacity, through manufacturers what is, get question first coming business of be materials? little Can for obviously talk adding to and that and the My to you ability a making some changes to will the bit some production. just talked thinking about their some your you flow-through the about you're

Jeff Edwards

mean I would right everything I face, now. that and wound is this running with a manufacturers to with this this of the industry, kind is Susan, all many continue everybody in pretty say on -- we really And they is Jeff, margins, is capacity being happen. really is when the perspective, tight is about really from is facility that talked all have, -- what out times that the every XXX% honestly.

feels So one positive a positive it something But increase, line else little movement. thing where like happens it's not or let's here say, a effect. invariably, in added or one happened there, little there's a big

I the thing. same and say think in opinion, would my So they

that's in being out situation is a terms scenario of there, I supply the think tight. long-term demand this given

Susan Maklari

is helpful, question Jeff. next That's Okay. around... My

Jeff Edwards

bit. terms because it honestly, things that little make kind better, to a still curtailment they're to COVID us, a or load of retail run happened recover it's the the To they're from slow to it anything that, what like full ball is not problems trailer distribution. causing flat hard It's to out our it's of in item and typically, really it's odd to their for understand not trying not obviously, did to not a down, when only degree can. a but that with that them for selling back mix the part running in which inventory of fix I them but mix, spread is frustrating, they they get have And having is top over crux everything of the that on need, even time, their what or for mix, is which may really up is to it's they

Susan Maklari

you. Got Yes.

about? would of got aware especially question we anything that that past should there between quarter, out, next call regions, year. that those is earlier when some be volume the of as in regionally the this Texas My kind that just mix is, weather and you about we thinking price or of of think breakdown Okay. there we Anything some Southeast impacted and

Jeff Edwards

tilted definitely share growth seeing in very we greater a quarter production I we surprise, this, about and various And we've second and lot sales quarter markets. about in probably think, the and first Florida saw headwind builders regions. that we've which we But production more that I market really this the gross in South And production headwind the margin. South the builders Yes, West. in doing well of they're that, the mean with have say I they again, that good our leverage. there now to and over-indexed pretty builders. in those Clearly, would talked are those think a in for got strength And talked was I -- talked the those mix, about is we're good think with because just markets. between the the no the And that -- we to markets. with them us, that's quarter are this work and quarter, towards efficiency Texas.

risk a said, sounds and retail continue. Is about what's volume like So even the that like to, into demand to to go going you if back as volumes significant supply my where that's that you half of and product having constraints question the Also up get continue you're you're supply? getting environment, volumes continues you're year? to this into risk this some others here, here, have and going clearly, to But to you hot, to run first from that thinking trouble demand to retailers? picking go run strong very a

Jeff Edwards

so. then mean, think to constrained that I not as if believe before I comes are. land, honestly, constrained, at still certainly house the and trades that we et least we go even are more cetera, the

to to as everybody's much the is, there. based calls So But I pains think, take opinion, -- little bit it's time kind think, year-over-year and U.S. the is through rebuild $X we're those orders of building from of right to we're that into But times, that's what And going I currently. is mean, right to you'd I now, kind out. I capacity to to many here getting we've home as sales And capacity million now. say that million. of the pain on industry going said, flex that it's it's in where back $X.X building ultimately, growing going a the to on and come build think

Michael Miller

we're total, almost at completion, But like $X.XXX Yes, they and you starts, if at just $X.XXX look million were LTM June running that's million. obviously.

but out install, causes orders, we very just about the extremely I not lot and So believe between I products and is just starts entire stressed get. it's out And to talked to a just what painful working and said quarter. retail, is what about number really us, of talking buying the basis, in don't, the right a -- now, to X% struggling efficient of buying be the up we're we're talked caught a buying But work. think as frankly, pointed working. of for small monthly a frankly not talking all much But percentage whole in demand, the there's disrupted of distribution quite going their a products in the I'm of it's premium fiberglass of That's true of What And people pause, than daily and about working so less more a channel a kind what they're we now. industry, product starts way builders the and one the us. want all even lot not the industry obviously, we Because And there what out right? for builders to that disconnect building with basis well, sales, on to little get I'm Their absolutely is that have but but scheme thing about that. moderating what's relative Jeff first capacity. a it at now. that we not we're happen, for it disruption. right? it significant we we lift right having yet a completions. now doing sure that way of of love it's of believe about We because just insulation is bit most I'm things, process to any that it's the is on their are need XXX% efficient a And right going needs building accelerating and relatively to

capacity it there it's little struggles what get product fiber. in odd very And to is us of last we're the the It's But doing terms part, bit. done ball an for right, just inefficient. usually, And and so it for the most

Noah Merkousko

that. building discussion, a quarter. makes maybe we the XX% think the nothing the just That right. a full good the than Again, a here. All to you Do lighter And for follow-up incremental but I still expected. massive, a in quick expectation few then the organic little headwinds was sense. appreciate XX% on year? margin is

Michael Miller

-- been incrementals so relative centers, headwinds and purchases quarter, have Alpha the would about the that to backing distribution about out the and mean I at Yes. we same-branch the home XX%. in talked from

So kind to XX% of of in that the XX%. middle

these -- yes, about, but we're to for sense. makes that XX% some believe of continue talking to So headwinds XX% we

last typically, half the incremental of better As in normal the the year. get of margins normal you in in about half back was year a first and year Clearly, we it. year nothing the know,

XX% that actions that the we yes, back it's makes these some pricing XX% So the comparison. talked given we taking, year, incrementals absent the a great of not of that to particularly into certainly, headwinds go But we've think half if we're about sense.

I another year, backlog much at weather just given And usual the expect quarter we this there. about thinking this of XQ than out should stronger point? of permitting, kind seasonally just would the this maybe guess and level be but guess seasonality I

Jeff Edwards

And if building things moderation the can state order create But in environment. the of right? kind of by steady depends, sort it we of Obviously, more just imposed of growth, described it play way builders the out terms a themselves. that

talked -- could we've you think and see again, I about this before.

is. I and everybody I flat probably quarter of about than year we've right frankly, as some past. think in pickup level in talking you have seasonal been mean had out is can always But see a it, the working there'll now. there be the would less quite kind of kind we of as third seasonal

think bump, just going. first last And season. to it's going a enough from I fourth to less the make this mean, fourth weather backlog was there where perspective. much quarter and going but year So quarter really that I I the because and in was I pretty there see be don't year you're think of of second wasn't quarter a that's winter of from a kind question mean year third robust. so I And and mean a carried there's to think seasonal backlog. big I your don't

Noah Merkousko

Yes, I think would it depend upon...

Jeff Edwards

At a ever now. not Not board. least There's announced. not

Michael Miller

the call, dynamic install single-family part given that being things to constructive. not continue the providing we market Yes. and time as fiberglass that earlier And fiberglass would kind between effective announced in But said, while as a of think talked the would pricing would that the the terms long we And say about there cadence they of going be of announced just some our that mean, are all lot of we the guys cadence sufficient the in and is date. of products I with they're I price given at continue business, same effective. in of the other increases that largest are that the their it in

pieces, moving demand So there's very a the reality environment is lot solid. is the of but

in elevated pricing started at we particularly And the expect for we XX but it mentioned Jeff not remarks, as think We at backlog. his mean, is extremely and forward. year look number for when that's volumes levels right? of authorized, continue, going to I the prepared constructive
