“We delivered our best operating performance in nearly five years, reporting positive Adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million for the second quarter, and improving to break-even Adjusted EBITDA June year-to-date,” said Floyd Sherman, Builders FirstSource Chief Executive Officer. “Our second quarter sales grew 31.7 percent compared to the second quarter of 2011. Over the same time period, actual single-family housing starts in the South Region increased 21.3 percent while single-family units under construction increased 1.5 percent. Our topline growth far exceeded the increase in residential construction activity, and we met our primary goal for the quarter of getting back to positive EBITDA.”

Mr. Sherman added, “The broad-based housing recovery that began in the latter half of 2011 continues, though moderately paced. At the same time, however, we are seeing meaningful improvements in our financial results as we continue to grow market share, leverage our strong competitive position, and provide first-class customer service.”

Commenting on the second quarter financial results, Chad Crow, Builders FirstSource Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “I am extremely pleased with our sales growth and the fact that we achieved positive EBITDA. It was, however, a difficult quarter for gross margins as higher than expected sales volume, combined with roughly 16 percent commodity lumber price inflation, forced us to replace inventory during the latter half of the quarter at higher costs, with limited ability to adjust intra-quarter customer pricing.”

Mr. Crow continued, “Our most important goal for the quarter, however, was to get back to positive EBITDA. We achieved our goal by growing sales and generating the incremental gross profit dollars necessary to accomplish this significant financial objective. Congratulations to all our employees for reaching this important milestone in our journey back to profitability.”

Second Quarter 2012 Results Compared to Second Quarter 2011

(See accompanying financial schedules for full financial details and reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents.)

 

   

Sales were $271.9 million compared to $206.4 million last year, an increase of $65.5 million, or 31.7 percent. Our sales increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volume.

 

   

Gross margin percentage was 19.7 percent, down from 20.7 percent, a 1.0 percentage point decrease. Specifically, our gross margin decreased 1.7 percentage points due to commodity lumber inflation relative to customer pricing commitments, which was offset somewhat by a 0.7 percentage point gross margin improvement due to increased sales volume.

 

   

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $6.0 million, or 12.2 percent. However, as a percentage of sales, SG&A expense decreased from 23.7 percent in the second quarter of 2011, to 20.2 percent in 2012. Salaries and benefits expense, excluding stock compensation expense, was $34.0 million, an increase of $6.0 million, primarily related to higher sales commissions and additional staffing needs to service the increased sales volume.

 

   

The company recorded $0.1 million of facility closure costs during the second quarter of 2012. During the second quarter of 2011, the company recorded $1.9 million of facility closure costs primarily related to the closure of a distribution facility in Georgia.

 

   

Interest expense was $10.5 million, an increase of $4.8 million from the second quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily due to interest associated with the company’s new term loan combined with a $0.6 million, non-cash, fair value adjustment related to stock warrants issued in connection with the term loan. These increases were partially offset by the expiration of our interest rate swaps during the second quarter of 2011.

 

   

The company recorded $0.1 million of income tax expense in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2011. The company recorded an after-tax, non-cash tax valuation allowance of $4.3 million and $6.8 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to its net deferred tax assets. Absent this valuation allowance, the effective tax rate would have been 34.9 percent and 37.5 percent in 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of the end of the second quarter of 2012, the company’s gross federal income tax net operating loss available for carryforward was $212.3 million.

Loss from continuing operations was $12.0 million, or $0.13 loss per diluted share, compared to $15.4 million, or $0.16 loss per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the fair value adjustment for stock warrants, facility closure costs and the tax valuation allowance, loss from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.07. For the second quarter of 2011, loss from continuing operations per diluted share was $0.08, when excluding facility closure costs and the tax valuation allowance.

 

   

Net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was $12.1 million, or $0.13 loss per diluted share, compared to net loss of $15.5 million, or $0.16 loss per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011.

 

   

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 95.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 94.9 million in the same quarter of 2011.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to a loss of $1.3 million last year. See reconciliation attached.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

   

Liquidity at June 30, 2012 was approximately $70.1 million, representing $105.1 million of cash reduced by the $35.0 million minimum cash requirement in our term loan.

 

   

In addition to the $105.1 million of cash, the company had $14.4 million in restricted cash at June 30, 2012, of which $1.8 million was included in long-term assets. Restricted cash consists of $13.5 million used to collateralize letters of credit outstanding under the company’s letter of credit facility and $0.9 million used as collateral for other casualty insurance obligations.

 

   

Operating cash flow was negative $22.9 million compared to negative $13.4 million for the second quarter of 2011, primarily related to working capital requirements driven by higher sales.

 

   

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2012 were $2.2 million, compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2011. This increase is primarily due to capital expenditures relating to capacity expansion of our Houston, TX window plant and improvements to our two new facilities in Austin, TX and Clarksville, TN.

Regarding the company’s liquidity, Mr. Crow said, “Of the $24.5 million of cash used in the second quarter, $15.4 million was due to an increase in working capital and $2.2 million related to capital expenditures. The remaining $6.9 million was cash used for operations and cash interest. As of the end of June, our liquidity was in line with expectations and our cash usage for fiscal 2012 is still expected to be in the range of $45 - $55 million.”

Outlook

Mr. Sherman concluded, “We made significant strides during the first half of 2012, the result of our employees’ efforts over the past several years positioning the company to take advantage of the improved housing environment we are finally seeing. We believe we will continue to see housing gradually recover, which should drive further financial improvements in our business. Throughout this downturn, we have not wavered from our commitment to grow market share, improve operating efficiencies and conserve capital. It is extremely gratifying to see the hard work and dedication of all our employees translating to improved financial results.”
