• The February winter storms combined with supply chain disruptions had an estimated $3.0 million to $3.5 million impact on first quarter gross profit, which reduced gross profit margin by an estimated 70 to 80 basis points and reduced earnings by $0.08 to $0.09 per diluted share

“I am pleased with our record first quarter financial results, demonstrating the resiliency of our business model, the benefits of our product, end-market, geographic diversification strategies, and the continued hard work of our nationwide team members,” stated Jeff Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout the first quarter, we successfully overcame operating challenges. The COVID-19 crisis continues to impact our large commercial business. Additionally, the historic February winter storms had a meaningful impact on our material suppliers’ supply chains and impacted our production and installation efficiencies. We estimate lost production, as a result of the winter storms, impacted first quarter revenue by $3.0 million to $3.5 million, and gross profit by $1.0 million to $1.5 million. We ended the first quarter with positive momentum as we experienced the highest monthly sales in our history in March, and positive momentum has continued in the month of April.

“During the first quarter we also experienced unprecedented material and supply shortages for a variety of products used across our installation services. The February winter storms impacted the manufacturing capabilities at two of our large fiberglass insulation suppliers, disrupting our ability to source material and forcing us to buy from distributors and local retailers to meet customer demand. In addition, materials needed for spray foam applications were in short supply after the storms, as chemical processing facilities went offline. We estimate the material supply shortages impacted gross profit by approximately $2.0 million and effected our ability to complete installation work for certain customers during the quarter.

“While the supply chain efficiencies appear to have steadily improved during March and April, relative to January and February, we expect constraints will continue over the remainder of the year for many of the materials and products used throughout our installation work. Despite near-term supply challenges, demand and pricing remains strong, and we expect trends within our large commercial business will improve later this year. As a result, we expect 2021 will be another strong year of sales and earnings growth for IBP,” concluded Mr. Edwards.

Acquisition Update

IBP continues to prioritize profitable growth through its proven strategy of acquiring well-run installers of insulation and complementary building products. To date in 2021, we have completed three acquisitions representing approximately $65 million of annual revenues. In the last 12 months, we have completed acquisitions with over $160 million of annual revenues. For 2021, the Company is targeting approximately $100 million of acquired revenue, which IBP may exceed depending on the timing of acquisitions within its large and growing pipeline.

During the 2021 first quarter, IBP acquired I.W. International Insulation, Inc. doing business as Intermountain West Insulation, a Washington based provider of insulation installation services to residential customers throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, with annual revenue of approximately $34.4 million.

Since the first quarter ended, IBP has completed the following acquisitions:

• In April 2021, acquired Alert Insulation, a Southern California based provider of fiberglass insulation installation, fireproofing services, and acoustical ceiling system installation services to commercial customers, with annual revenue of approximately $21.0 million
• In April 2021, acquired Alpine Construction Services, LLC a Colorado Springs based provider of fiberglass and spray foam insulation installation services to residential and multifamily customers, with annual revenue of approximately $9.4 million

First Quarter 2021 Results Overview

For the first quarter of 2021, net revenue was $437.1 million, an increase of 10.0% from $397.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. On a same branch basis, net revenue improved 2.2% from the prior year quarter. Residential same branch sales growth was 3.7% in the quarter, attributable to a 10.0% increase in the volume of jobs completed. Price/mix was negatively impacted during the quarter as the Company continues to experience a higher volume of sales to production builders compared to the same period last year. This shift within the single-family end market impacted price/mix as the average insulation selling price for entry level production builder jobs is typically lower than a move-up or custom home builder. Our commercial construction end-market increased 2.3% for the first quarter of 2021, as a result of recent acquisitions, while same branch sales within this market declined 14.5% primarily due to continued challenges associated with the COVID-19 crisis.

Gross profit improved 7.9% to $125.4 million from $116.3 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross profit* as a percent of total revenue was 28.7% which adjusts for the Company’s share-based compensation expense, compared to 29.3% for the same period last year. First quarter gross profit was reduced by an estimated $1.0 million to $1.5 million impact associated with lost production resulting from the February winter storms, as well as by an estimated $2.0 million impact from supply chain disruptions that occurred during the quarter. Selling and administrative expense, as a percent of net revenue, was 19.7% compared to 20.3% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted selling and administrative expense*, as a percent of net revenue, was 18.7% compared to 19.5% in the prior year quarter.

Net income was $17.3 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to $16.0 million, or $0.53 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income* was $26.8 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to $23.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income adjusts for the impact of non-core items in both periods and includes an addback for non-cash amortization expense related to acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA* was $54.5 million, a 10.8% increase from $49.2 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher sales compared to the prior year quarter.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin (i.e., Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue), Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Selling and Administrative expense. The reasons for the use of these measures, reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted Selling and Administrative expense to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included below following the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for IBP’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP..

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Selling and Administrative Expense measure performance by adjusting EBITDA, GAAP net income, gross profit and selling and administrative expense, respectively, for certain income or expense items that are not considered part of our core operations. We believe that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and us in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business.

We believe the Adjusted EBITDA measure is useful to investors and us as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as it measures our changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that impact operating performance, and removes the effect of our capital structure (primarily interest expense), asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), items outside our control (primarily income taxes) and the volatility related to the timing and extent of other activities such as asset impairments and non-core income and expenses. Accordingly, we believe that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. In addition, we use various EBITDA-based measures in determining the achievement of awards under certain of our incentive compensation programs. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure may not be directly comparable to measures of other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently for purposes of covenants contained in our revolving credit facility or any future facility.

Although we use the Adjusted EBITDA measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of the measure is limited because it does not include certain material expenses, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, GAAP net income as a measure of performance. Our presentation of this measure should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. This measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, this measure is not intended as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance, as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. You should therefore not place undue reliance on this measure or ratios calculated using this measure.

We also believe the Adjusted Net Income measure is useful to investors and us as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as it measures our changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that impact operating performance, and removes the effect of certain non-core items such as discontinued operations, acquisition related expenses, amortization expense, the tax impact of these certain non-core items, and the volatility related to the timing and extent of other activities such as asset impairments and non-core income and expenses. To make the financial presentation more consistent with other public building products companies, beginning in the fourth quarter 2016 we included an addback for non-cash amortization expense related to acquisitions. Accordingly, we believe that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. Other companies may define Adjusted Net Income differently and, as a result, our measure may not be directly comparable to measures of other companies. In addition, Adjusted Net Income may be defined differently for purposes of covenants contained in our revolving credit facility or any future facility.
