Stephen Kim

Good results always. as

relates for Last somewhere well? extended has question about cycle in to you what on pricing, might range TruTeam. products, times that. -- wanted a quantify had XQ? of noninsulation the that be I was pricing points in also think had a just see -- quarter, the builders. to these you the I bit and was Obviously, of think you if that at think it also First as headwind of times pricing Curious what to particularly could And effect TruTeam that from more you mentioned to impact headwind I probably XXX basis in cycle

John Peterson

Yes, back results, because extended bit. to pricing time our drive talked last on of right, we Yes, delayed quarter the basically the P&L Stephen, a first little so cycle, about this the going and into that get you're ability was it is to pricing call build John. TruTeam

the on said that really and what we the seen better expected to second quarter result in we as today. reported I think current. almost we significantly be that And of So call, you've

TruTeam basis but better we tied much it much very on build timely quarter obviously, side, to the what Service of in into points drive of timing And the terms getting versus say, other inflation minimis pricing of we've cycle, there in what some you're you was in more very on delay market. matter had. performance to mentioned, much, small And I'll of Partners, first products terms So pretty There products, de accordingly quarter right. it. SP. Last to the terms selling of successful need. some second we all ability have XXX again, and get are almost, and products tied the quarter, second about the great across the been we full think our board prices most I terms level have and quarter, fact, where a adjusting of in are And as much of value delay. seeing

Stephen Kim

call really hearing right? not much to from So the products, or what non-insulation is a extended either of I'm meaningful times headwind cycle the out

John Peterson

That's you're exactly what hearing, you. Stephen. Thank

Stephen Kim

right. All

What cycle But I'm volume the time more is to, its this the overall -- I leverage. potential the question time taking about build your we're Second broadly, that again, relates had on the and hearing time, impact. curious homes it's is impact overhead builders to lengthening.

said of it a public think builders the couple last quarter. the for I of in lengthened by weeks lot large a builders

that private think unusual cycle is that, But whether relates winter if had have time part you share? in consequent let's And in lead as market head a upcoming next into, is homebuilding this or months and/or the seasonality of think of curious your seasonality it to get as happening year impact probably than could the the -- your products in in unusual bulge middle say, in that's that. of surge more your to lead extended you year. builders you or of a to in as be general, think the tailwind I here installed going to activity business consolidation when I'm business a to to headwind the that this kind an then could of of that, there

Robert Buck

Robert. Stephen, this is

or So I'll X try from different answer that X to perspectives.

as us, the quarter a mean, being through the So we'd we trying not winter coming we come the start quarter expect winter, closings. would public third to are into has curve seasonality and I'll builders smoother see. year, we backlogs the but back given unless their a that previously always all first to with I'd see that there's that seasonality. harsh is at us, just I go I through get seasonality strong backlog, in fourth busy some a given say industry built, probably next quarter minute, as going the expect versus the smooth

you in, up I'll October, builders public frame. with if the early their about think closings November I coming here think time say,

see of as we're is is half would we gets be here. We think I much getting say see will other slightly continues entire constraints as the it to to and facing what going to funnel that here industry pop the is the some interesting what from how the the better think material into as I continued labor we hear But of year. a as back trade here. up constraint industry,

see. good be to it So will

I the think industry. for it is backlog a healthy

whole I'd get mean, Builder I us public we relationships would builders overseeing industry the that large as will we on given some see X are the be just how say, great to of because spike do country obviously, say, questions we towards that public builder through I our regional footprint coming builders, of the sizes, going builder think quarters I consolidation. a last less our given service your across expect -- seasonality some know -- I that. your But on builder for consolidation, coming, about, relationships a I say builders consolidation as the point of through we to the doing much I as end that to less the can nothing builders, point is with all us relative of Stephen? next, here, into it'll Okay. think -- with work there's the funnel to the of And the and positive well. we any consolidation the some especially year. closings before get what public of cover than and

a seen from us we our perspective. change huge a mix for of kind look haven't at we And among as say I'd that builders, positive. So shift overall, there

comes Our Jefferies. Ng from with Phil next question

Margaret Grady

we've in on pretty I guess, seeing to broadly you following your of up kind next this homebuilders, differences any of guess how have such. on up dynamic to this And slow been I few play order your now, from And question catch call there backlogs just what expect of Maggie hearing is the type the to out are growth you for Stephen's This regional over on builders? between do out business? impact and Phil. demand on this versus more national are quarters?

Robert Buck

Yes.

healthy industry hear brakes, we some hearing the tapping backlog do builders? The will. the definitely, in good yes. is answer the -- there where So We're from of are a them But you is if as well. that

So backlog. the some large whole through as you've heard, going funnel heard, to works as even us the that some to in again, we've are how industry, I backlog there's that the builders. We'll publics are regionals But of from be or healthy perspective. as see here. publics think working markets and backlog all that the the through custom tapping the brakes Relative a

that about seen out to Some time of days cycle smaller time front XX out we've of happened could in or that. But or time Typically, in to the be much just regionals further the additional say XX I go the that, past that job than public that, like of a extended XX lag time, in to what's would as sites for builders, trade some -- little something as on in we're the days us. Maggie, we've cycle said builders. given and the the

all elongated come framing you as see look trade, we builders builders, builders, maybe publics I delays on that if those the well. obviously across more are some trades and really think those those you the of custom of are, it at before times regional getting think that our seeing about cycle but some in reporting if think where some I the of biggest

Margaret Grady

Keith Hughes

I have a in segments. up on question pricing. Pricing both

John Peterson

P&L. the Yes, really a Keith, of function it's

greater the If the P&L you is content versus Service Partners. Partners Service obviously the much, on TruTeam, look much material at

higher margins. So maintain the as price or expand to to Partners a have to you're trying going order as drive Service is to of selling impact cost, percentage input recover inflationary a in

is that So as Partners much quicker fact really of timing thing percentage total. Partners. function that it's just content very little piece Service percent much, Service able at material that a piece the the material to a of that just is to of be makes but the greater where is would the cost the far up small bit than talked market deliver pricing we about, by bigger the TruTeam, a A

You're the year-over-year referring to performance?

Keith Hughes

a hit was ago, down. commercial more year last the much, our a much impact distancing time. only talked I We really dramatic can heavy talked more cycle especially the talked commercial actually had the you social some states So think about at ago commercial, where a about let function job locking on we residential a build year extended site certain about than business, trades We -- more versus -- a had a year, probably many much so on disproportionately business.

social or distance really seeing the normal say, -- I should job the you're So that's back sites at function normal on that cadence. is now we're

And better benefiting year-over-year seeing comp so just that's you're commercial. a disproportionately
