ATLANTA, Nov. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BMC Stock Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:BMCH) (“BMC” or the “Company”), one of the leading providers of diversified building products and services in the U.S. residential construction market, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” section of this press release.

Third Quarter 2017 Highlights (Comparisons are to Prior Year Period)

  • Increased net sales by 7.3% to $881.0 million, or 8.9% per sales day, including significant growth in Structural Components and Ready-Frame® sales
  • Delivered net income of $18.4 million compared to net income of $9.2 million in the prior year period, which included a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $12.5 million
  • Increased Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) to $59.3 million, compared to $58.2 million in the prior year period
  • Recorded diluted earnings per share of $0.27, compared to $0.14 in the prior year period
  • Expanded adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP) by $0.02 to $0.34
  • Cash provided by operating activities increased by $12.5 million to $37.0 million

Peter Alexander, President and Chief Executive Officer of BMC, commented, “Our team delivered a year-over-year top-line increase of 8.9% per day, as well as growth in net income, adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow for the quarter.  We are pleased with our team’s ongoing execution and ability to deliver this solid performance despite the short-term impacts of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on our Houston and Georgia operations.  We grew sales in our higher-margin structural components product category by 17.5%, driven, in part, by continued success of Ready-Frame®.  This whole-house framing solution remains an important contributor to our business, allowing us to differentiate BMC with our builder customers with a cost-effective and time-saving alternative as they face a very tight labor market.”

Alexander continued, “Looking at our industry broadly, macroeconomic trends in the single-family housing market remain favorable, and we are well-positioned to capitalize on what we expect to be continued, steady growth.  We have the team, innovative solutions, balance sheet strength and growth strategy to continue to drive improved profitability and increased value for our shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period

  • Net sales increased 7.3% to $881.0 million.  The Company estimates that net sales increased 4.5% from lumber and sheet goods commodity price inflation, 2.3% from recent acquisitions and 0.5% from increased volumes.  The increase in sales volume was negatively impacted by one less selling day during the quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2016, resulting in a 1.6% impact to net sales.  In addition, the impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma is estimated to have decreased net sales by $12.0 million to $15.0 million during the quarter.
  • Gross profit increased 3.2% to $209.5 million. Gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) was 23.8%, as compared to 24.7% for the third quarter of 2016.  Gross margin for the third quarter of 2017 reflects an approximately 50 basis point decline in gross margin within the lumber and lumber sheet goods product category, as compared to the prior year, and a higher percentage of total net sales being derived from the lumber and lumber sheet goods product category, which realizes lower than company average gross margins.  These decreases were partially offset by approximately $0.2 million of merger-related synergies within cost of sales.
  • Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 5.8% to $158.2 million, primarily related to incremental expenses from acquired operations, expense related to pending litigation and an increase in health care costs.  These increases were partially offset by approximately $1.5 million of merger-related synergies.  SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales improved to 18.0%, compared with 18.2% for the third quarter of 2016.
  • Depreciation expense, including the portion reported within cost of sales, increased to $13.6 million, compared to $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2016.  The increase was primarily driven by replacements and additions of delivery fleet, material handling equipment and operating equipment.
  • Merger and integration costs decreased to $2.6 million, compared to $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2016.
  • Amortization expense was $4.0 million, compared to $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2016.  This decrease primarily related to certain intangible assets that became fully amortized.
  • Interest expense decreased to $6.4 million, compared to $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2016.  This decrease primarily resulted from the successful refinancing of the Company’s long-term notes in September 2016.
  • Other income, net, increased to $1.1 million, compared to $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2016.  
  • Net income increased to $18.4 million, compared to $9.2 million in the prior year, which included a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $12.5 million.
  • Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) increased 8% to $23.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted net income of $21.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2016.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) increased 1.9% to $59.3 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin, defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, (non-GAAP) declined 40 basis points to 6.7%.
  • Cash provided by operating activities of $37.0 million increased by $12.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total liquidity as of September 30, 2017 was approximately $268.5 million, which included cash and cash equivalents of $12.1 million and $256.4 million of borrowing availability under the Company’s asset-backed revolver.  Capital expenditures during the third quarter of 2017 totaled $16.5 million.  These expenditures were primarily used to fund purchases of vehicles and equipment to support increased sales volume and replace aged assets, and facility and technology investments to support our operations.

BMC STOCK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share are intended as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.  The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

  • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, merger and integration costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, impairment of assets, acquisition costs, loss on debt extinguishment, inventory step-up charges and other items.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
  • Adjusted net income is defined as net income plus merger and integration costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, impairment of assets, acquisition costs, loss on debt extinguishment, inventory step-up charges, other items and after tax effecting those items.
  • Adjusted net income per diluted share is defined as Adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares

Company management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes.  Adjusted EBITDA is used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and the board of directors.  The Company believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share provides additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other distribution and retail companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.  However, the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.  Company management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share in isolation or as alternatives to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.  The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements.  Some of these limitations are: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin do not reflect income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay taxes; (iv) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (v) although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements and (vi) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share do not consider the potentially dilutive impact of issuing non-cash stock-based compensation.  In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share in conjunction with GAAP results.  Readers should review the reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
