Tustin, CA, August 3, 2017 (Business Wire) - Foundation Building Materials, Inc. (NYSE: FBM), the largest specialty distributor of suspended ceiling systems in the United States and Canada and the second largest specialty distributor of wallboard in the United States and Canada, today reported second quarter 2017 financial results.
"We recorded another quarter of strong operational and financial performance, highlighted by year-over-year net sales growth of 96%, net income of $1.3 million and adjusted EBITDA of $40.3 million," said Ruben Mendoza, President and CEO. "These positive results were driven by the strength of our underlying markets, our continued growth via acquisitions, increased cross-selling of products throughout our organization, and our commitment to cost containment and procurement synergies." Mr. Mendoza continued, "Base business net sales increased 9.0% in the quarter, with a particularly strong showing from our suspended ceiling systems product category, which grew base business net sales in the category by 24.9%. We also remained active on the acquisition front, closing four more acquisitions in the quarter, and adding three more since the period ended for a total of eight in 2017. In short, we continue to execute on our long-term strategy of growing market share in key product categories, thereby achieving larger economies of scale, which benefit our customers and shareholders alike."

2017 Second Quarter Results

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $529.2 million compared to $270.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $259.1 million, or 95.9%. Acquired branches and existing branches that were strategically combined with acquired branches contributed $239.5 million of this increase. Base business net sales increased $19.6 million, or 9.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in our base business was primarily driven by the following factors:

an increase in suspended ceiling systems sales of approximately $6.3 million, or 24.9%, primarily due to increased market share gains in California, Texas and Colorado;
an increase in wallboard sales of $5.3 million, or 5.6%, primarily due to a wallboard unit volume increase of approximately 4.2% driven by an increase in the commercial and residential end markets, and an increase in average selling price of approximately 1.4%; and
an increase in other product sales of $5.6 million, or 9.6%, primarily due to continued complementary product sales growth.

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $149.5 million compared to $79.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $70.2 million, or 88.5%. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in sales volume and contribution from acquisitions. Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 28.3% compared to 29.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a change in product mix with a higher contribution from ceilings and mechanical insulation on a percentage basis.


(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See the supplementary schedules at the end of this press release for a discussion of how we define and calculate this measure, why we believe it is important and a reconciliation thereof to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist of warehouse, delivery and general and administrative expenses.  SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $113.6 million compared to $66.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $47.6 million, or 72.1%. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 21.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 24.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to lower transaction costs.

Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Financial Measures

In addition to results under GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, which is provided as a supplemental measure of financial performance. This measure is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization and before non-recurring adjustments such as purchase accounting adjustments, IPO expenses, stock-based compensation, non-cash (gain) losses on the sale of property and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is an important metric used by management as one of the means by which it assesses financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. This measure, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provides investors with an additional financial analytical framework that may be useful in assessing our company and its results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, or as any other measure of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA also should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items for which it makes adjustments. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a liquidity measure. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use this measure or may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP measure, net income:
