TopBuild Reports Second Quarter Results

Both segments drive growth, resulting in second quarter sales of $1.37 billion

Delivered gross margin of 31% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.3%

Revises 2024 guidance to $5.3 to $5.5 billion in revenue and $1.055 to $1.125 billion in adjusted EBITDA

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Aug. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TopBuild Corp. (NYSE:BLD) a leading installer and specialty distributor of insulation and building material products to the construction industry in the United States and Canada today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“We’re pleased with our solid results in the second quarter, as our teams continued to focus on growth and profitability across the business. We grew sales 3.7% to $1.37 billion and delivered adjusted EBITDA of $277.7 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.3%. Excluding the benefit from higher-than-normal multi-family and commercial margins in the second and third quarter of 2023,¹ we delivered our highest level of sales and profitability in our history,” said Robert Buck, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Both segments delivered sales growth in the second quarter, however volume was less than anticipated due to higher interest rates, project delays and supply constraints that continue to impact results across some residential and commercial end markets. Our residential single-family sales continued to improve, and our backlog continues to support our multi-family sales. Commercial and industrial backlogs and bidding activity remain robust.

“The long-term fundamentals for our business are strong, supported by the undersupply of housing in the United States, increasing household formations, the potential for moderating interest rates, and strengthening demand for greater energy efficiency. We expect to continue driving profitable growth and strong free cash flows for TopBuild to reinvest or return to shareholders.

“Year to date, we have completed 6 acquisitions, and our M&A pipeline is very healthy. We are also returning capital to shareholders, and as of June 30, we repurchased approximately 1.25 million shares totaling $505.2 million, underscoring management and our Board’s continued confidence in our future growth and capital allocation approach,” concluded Mr. Buck.

¹ The Company noted that its results for the second quarter of 2023 included an estimated $10 million margin benefit related to certain multi-family/commercial business. In the third quarter of 2023, a similar benefit is estimated to be $15 million.

2024 Outlook²

The Company noted that the revision largely reflects timing of demand, rather than any underlying changes in the business.

² This outlook reflects management’s current view of present and future market conditions and is based on assumptions such as housing starts, general and administrative expenses, and interest rates. These targets do not include any effects related to potential acquisitions or divestitures that may occur after the date of this press release. A reconciliation of non-GAAP targets to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future and therefore, cannot be reasonably predicted. The effect of these excluded items may be significant. Factors that could cause actual long-term results to differ materially from TopBuild’s current expectations are discussed below and are also detailed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent SEC reports.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, incremental EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, the “adjusted” financial measures presented above, and figures presented on a “same branch basis” are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, which are used in managing the business, may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. We define same branch sales as sales from branches in operation for at least 12 full calendar months. Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measures in tables contained in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results under GAAP.
