“First quarter results represent an impressive example of the underlying potential of our company,” said Julian Francis, Beacon’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Leveraging a robust residential demand environment, we produced the strongest quarterly organic sales growth in nearly five years, and our focus on sales effectiveness, pricing execution, productivity initiatives and expense management drove Adjusted EBITDA margins to the highest Q1 level in over a decade. Seven weeks ago, we announced the divestiture of our Interior Products business, which remains on schedule to close later this month. The transaction will strengthen our balance sheet, enhance financial flexibility and sharpen our focus on the core exteriors business. Driven by its high concentration of non-discretionary repair and remodel demand, exteriors offers a unique platform for us to build around in the future. We remain firmly committed to our four key strategic initiatives – organic growth, digital, OTC and branch operating performance – which have boosted company sales growth and helped improve operating profitability. Our strong first quarter operating improvement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our valued employees and the loyalty of our customers. We look forward to a strong 2021, and will continue to follow a disciplined approach towards realizing the full potential of our company.”

First Quarter (Continuing Operations)

Net sales increased 11.4% compared to the prior year. The first quarter sales increase reflects strong residential roofing and complementary products growth as well as the benefit of recent price increases, partially offset by softer demand from non-residential categories. Residential roofing product sales increased 21.2%, non-residential roofing product sales decreased 3.3%, and complementary product sales increased 8.8% compared to the prior year. The first quarter of fiscal years 2021 and 2020 each had 62 business days.

Gross margin improved 140 basis points from 24.0% in the prior year to 25.4%, primarily reflecting pricing execution and price-cost improvement. Operating expense and Adjusted operating expense both decreased compared to the prior year, reflecting the positive impact of productivity initiatives and cost focus amid an increasing demand environment.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations was $47.4 million, compared to $(24.0) million in 2020. Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders was $41.4 million, compared to $(30.0) million in 2020. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $71.0 million, compared to $18.2 million in 2020. EPS was $0.59, compared to $(0.44) in 2020. Comparative improvements in first quarter results were driven by increased net sales, particularly within residential end markets, higher gross margins and reduced operating expenses resulting from successful cost actions. These impacts were partially offset by sales declines within non-residential roofing.

First Quarter (Combined)

In this earnings release, the Company provides “Combined” financial results (continuing operations and discontinued operations) for certain key metrics in order to enhance comparability with the Company’s most recent fiscal year and first quarter results.

2 See Consolidated Statements of Operations for additional information.

The first quarter sales increase of 9.0% compared to the prior year reflects strong residential roofing growth and a positive contribution from residential demand within our complementary products category, partially offset by softer demand from non-residential categories. Residential roofing product sales increased 21.0%, non-residential roofing product sales decreased 4.4%, and complementary product sales increased 3.9% compared to the prior year. The first quarter of fiscal years 2021 and 2020 each had 62 business days.

Gross margin improved 100 basis points from 24.5% in the prior year to 25.5%, primarily reflecting pricing execution and price-cost improvement. Operating expense and Adjusted operating expense both decreased compared to the prior year, reflecting the positive impact of productivity initiatives and cost focus amid an increasing demand environment.

Net income (loss) was $(220.5) million, compared to $(23.4) million in 2020. Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $(226.5) million, compared to $(29.4) million in 2020. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $79.8 million, compared to $28.4 million in 2020. EPS was $(3.24), compared to $(0.43) in 2020. The first quarter net loss was driven by a non-cash charge of $355 million ($264 million net of tax) related to the planned sale of Interior Products (see Consolidated Statements of Operations for additional information). Comparative improvements in first quarter results were driven by increased net sales, particularly within residential end markets, higher gross margins and reduced operating expenses resulting from successful cost actions. These impacts were partially offset by sales declines within non-residential end markets.

The estimated loss on classification as held for sale of $355.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 is calculated by comparing the purchase price (as adjusted) to the carrying value of the net assets of Interior Products. As Interior Products represents a component of the Company’s single reporting unit, the carrying value of the net assets of Interior Products includes an allocation of $734.3 million of the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance. The Company allocated consolidated goodwill based on the relative fair value of the component, which was determined using the estimated purchase price (as adjusted) of Interior Products and the market capitalization of the Company as of December 31, 2020. The net result of this allocation attributed a higher amount of goodwill than that which was directly associated with the Interior Products portion of the acquisition of Allied Building Products Corp., thereby having a significant influence on the estimated loss on the Interior Products divestiture transaction. Upon closing of the transaction, the estimated loss will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the final purchase price and carrying value of the net assets of Interior Products as of the close date, which will include an updated allocation of the Company’s goodwill to Interior Products.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited; in millions)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we prepare certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, specifically:

  • Adjusted Operating Expense. We define Adjusted Operating Expense as operating expense excluding the impact of the adjusting items (as described below).
  • Adjusted Net Income (Loss). We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) excluding the impact of the adjusting items (as described below).
  • Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding the impact of interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and the adjusting items (as described below).

We use these supplemental non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial performance, analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used when allocating resources. We expect to compute our non-GAAP financial measures consistently using the same methods each period.

We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful measures because they permit investors to better understand changes over comparative periods by providing financial results that are unaffected by certain items that are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

While we believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors when evaluating our business, they are not prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may have material limitations including, but not limited to, the exclusion of certain costs without a corresponding reduction of net income for the income generated by the assets to which the excluded costs are related. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusting Items to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The impact of the following expense (income) items are excluded from each of our non-GAAP measures (the “adjusting items”):

  • Acquisition costs. Represents certain costs related to historical acquisitions, including: amortization of intangible assets; professional fees, branch integration expenses, travel expenses, employee severance and retention costs, and other personnel expenses classified as selling, general and administrative; and amortization of debt issuance costs.
  • Restructuring costs. Represents costs stemming from headcount rationalization efforts and certain rebranding costs; impact of the Interior Products divestiture; accrued estimated costs related to employee benefit plan withdrawals; and amortization of debt issuance costs and loss on debt extinguishment.
  • COVID-19 impact. Represents costs directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and income tax provision (benefit) stemming from the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities made in conjunction with our application of the CARES Act.
