Matt Missad

just very that's I the quickly that would how line not that a right positive. one hope. trend is I great sure depends - it the think things question. Steve, really have be answer our ramp to on yet, I'm certainly up think I But

not, not going trends. we but line it's the trend the still that very tell QX expect by be year-over-year of can't whether We continue, to or back improvement or see to positive to end I you

Operator

next The Benchmark will with come Company. Our from Reuben Garner go question ahead. Please

Reuben Garner

it. profit very how So, segments? the being So, - in the within my quarter it two makes a headwind the me was mix gross the - gross improvement guys I was the growth, I negative headwind the a as guess in that margin saw of I me Can industrial in you correctly, ratio impressive I lumber retail and in in those segments with, construction just was profit you got if well, the that's also understand you offset down prices tough. if improvement guess the kind there But or were the elements both that industrial it an help quarter. the driver on side recall a charts I up is those even you of you tell is there, movement in construction just, just quarter, that of guess could? volume margin

Matt Missad

Yes.

So, construction. let's with start

to a probably profit space, do think that we jobs in construction lot unprofitable that XXXX didn't were had has in do those that of with have XXXX. impacted in with some comparison, where obviously gross to it year-over-year negatively. I also has a We mix the

is an there improvement So, there.

to part And as of would of say driver well. manufacturing construction I overall, kind On is a bigger I point industrial, concentration customer are would mix and to being mix mix issue. as would efficiencies So side. of on that I also shift that issue, some the point the customer the part that

end number at and were the unprofitable, base there we relatively of and of I industrial QX, market we've actually of were to some team As at customers priced on, industrial those opportunities. the that of size really job ourselves we profitable talked in customer make and has about done of out those a types our business the modest customers looking good probably think of and moved a working or either is

they're can on. story between different think little segments, keep two hope I we moving So, really that positive but we the both forward trends

Reuben Garner

business catch you got second was but second on I for side until of have inverse some mean the help Okay. you not what in the with question retail a and segments. probably the could you've quarter those would on forward two get some there's the side two of is moving that. construction lot and the parts, delayed segments, best I maybe pull economic can you the those a is industrial or And possible is of quarter where the then activity growth canceled, know up hold in but if been been you with think in an you recovery over there do lot the the can canceled

Matt Missad

Sure. Yes, I I of delay, proposed think something those the moving were that to construction and kind to definitely is unless projects need just happen changes expect fundamentally a else so forward. continue

for shortage mentioned is example. unmet of we were there so be a lot for that go because shut to is into is being systems available I simply pause of And of and down time there I a lots demand products just with a period, there think a there very of the I in at a remarks things for was side, the period that those but homebuilders the a think housing durable projects trends is look as HVAC road issue kind the which of positive a mentioned large that and I on construction industrial for developing some those stopped and QX goods, a an might lot lack that down

back only from perspective issue how So that should well. catch long my kind up I as of to there And up. that caught to is it that the happen takes get a think industrial The normal is in space

Reuben Garner

more Okay, got ask Deckorators great. and must question. And my one to I quarterly stick I

the. So

the just with I to the half, think any timing comp forward you Is in you you any year, because is the about online that's what so quarter. is if think of did strong. has because last business? something were? quarter I one pull correctly, miss there this I is organic when in announced, fourth but for load against. and out of forward way that that underlying the on already X% a lows had you first Is a was in a there demand but year-over-year. that's the that been capacity business coming questions down And heard I of you've issues in second pull growth the know early kind to know capacity in lot

Matt Missad

to the Yes, true, same story lines. extent Deckorators I think a although is product lesser probably with

lot predicted product of availability bit But was the grow a have flow capacity. different year. are the creating than at little that products we of certain colors certain probably We think I idea well. the would beginning the the styles know a We're and demand was where impacted more selling that with the that's Voyage a lines to there and trajectory. and out, for to that the Eovations lines Deckorators so excited about of we fault as product pointed of product greater has technology rest going growth our improve us the lot and That's opportunities than

Operator

sir. Our next question will ahead, come go from Julio Romero with Please Sidoti & Co.

Julio Romero

teens SG&A How do of the their was of the expenses factors side some the some on first think some customers maybe control versus or there. leverage manufacturing inefficiencies maybe to due type from much of and part under thing maybe with Great performance that side. that cutting kind maybe on XX% temporary question you My of cost that execution on job the are maybe was temporary some

Matt Missad

with that can don't some, I I there know are you really different more that were Yes, that quantify I into do nature. We for in permanent that Julio categories. think know the

that what that. gross we on driver came a sales that cost make of think helps it be fairly you profit anything just on be on that all trend efficiencies being lines with out were the I significant the permanent the is to that will they been the they profit volumes definitely and has dollars It's gross the higher issue called that us. part temporary up percentage that Some as improve that I And part one obviously for will add that of what part were of Mike, travel do not in dollars of well. to side have driving being

Julio Romero

guess changes the on talk about competitive I landscape. And you could if any

clear become your little you maybe progressed you're throughout a quarter? some to any the capitalized have than better of think of kind competitors, I as you opportunities

Matt Missad

accomplish is there number lot and several over uncertainty our to it I competitors as I a time a with be I we the creates hope more us opportunities think months that and other and try the makes good are think some of to more to think is able and business of think to for of I I really spot expand. us, reach opportunity sense before, so a and next where it some strategic are for of targets plans to comes opportunities, Yes, concerned, drive in to short-term and said it a pursue the continue because units, to people

Julio Romero

last one segment. still and a with and And there? T&R you. it are pipeline from attractive multiples maybe fits can is, Lumber see Understood. becoming then the you you potentially do how industrial of me tuck-ins more talk And about Thank the

Matt Missad

of that people. their well they for really attractive features that companies we So T&R complementary, they network products throughout scale we fits into always company. are have family of good as of nicely capabilities which one actually have entire able our terrific being don't relationships we very have and industrial some and to forward and the to looking their look And is our people are

nice really a combination. it's So

there multiples is and of terms I going the think again, mentioned, I as market where In uncertainty.

also are in looking companies we other terms given expect and things COVID is multiples of other issues that for has been market would So to there what that themselves. performance - of may these number a

extent of people I to insight or are at are we to ready can have yet we're where that to we a standing going on predict we're in go whatever down the think So And for terms forward by up multiples move us, or but better ready what that we're trying a to transaction accomplish. think I not spot

Operator

question a with follow-up have do Mamtora Capital We Market from Ketan BMO

Ketan Mamtora

Thank can a taking call are out. question tack are the business. one QX others. seeing seeing end-markets were Maybe of build, specific that just sort Within you. slightly little just nothing any the different commercial Obviously build, are some a recovery doing in side, than the on side of any of of a the construction you but of sort quite hit I'm Steve's you Matt, that on all curious. hard, or construction site in faster you better factory sort

Matt Missad

I much Ketan regional in our our Yes, built site from very nature. standpoint, are think operations

have selected And think be we built. to right so, site the locations I in

think may and the which reflect that And So are one that but as than although other that still call out. more we very was expect an continue part improve. there, as that commercial so significantly, call we I the to is markets that to trend as built in areas nationally, do and that opportunity expect out, down I I did is due in been strong negatively shutdowns and as factory both there to Yes not impacted recovers, continue, that's single-family or probably commercial have it’s well. I where would pretty to happening mentioned, improvement mandated we're area what large so think may multifamily, there

Ketan Mamtora

if point especially will position at disciplined? time? you would this, does to a some dividend in sheet you said and you maybe turning ahead, all So in, in capital really net and got of a but just and just look talk about talked where priorities talk kind a be times? doing allocation you these M&A is also you've to in one-time then position, as allocation, be special to something open fit which about And about great in or just that the of balance and dividend like obviously But like a priorities capital kind dividend cash

Matt Missad

make is our goal Ketan obviously, our we a think best provide I that that's to return Yes, very question. sure And shareholders. the great to

majority opportunities as acquisition well shareholders. long-term growth best That's we opportunities for where both a that to vast reaction that the the basis, capital. as will bucket, of growth our extent We To our we dedicate not cost is a want and shareholders. our effective that return number to ROI expenditure natural do that capital our think within the the a have we're the able to strong yield of to good capital on

ample we now right have an would I pipeline. that So say

of a that of I they projects, opportunities, has our I very capital. lot of ROI. our opportunities part really most they each have put And structure drive very, our would of well, out We new different run guess those think is leadership where identified of areas teams is to see types until going that's we of that where

shareholders, Looking grow at return making to and our continue grow we'll different bottom do things dividend well cash that line a with to continue our reasonable that and provides the to sure flow as as that we performance.
