HERNDON, VA. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 9, 2014 — Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: BECN) announced results today for its second quarter and first half ended March 31, 2014 (“2014”) of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 (“Fiscal 2014”).
Paul Isabella, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Severe winter weather that ranked among the 10 coldest on record in many states across the upper Midwest to the Southeast had a significant impact on our results this quarter. Multiple winter storms that brought record snowfall and freezing rain delayed both residential and commercial roofing projects across our core markets. However, during this period of soft demand we utilized the strength of our balance sheet to make strategic investments in equipment and inventory to grow our business. We believe these investments, along with employee training and our greenfield expansion, will help us maximize our opportunity related to re-roof growth, which is the bulk of our core business. We are especially excited about opening our eighth new branch of the year and are planning on as many as 25 for the full year. Finally, we remained focused on our long standing culture of cost control and leveraging of our operating expenses. All these actions have us well positioned to take advantage of the traditionally high seasonal demand in the second half of the year. We believe the second half of the year volume will be strong for both our residential and commercial markets.”
Second Quarter
Total sales decreased 7.5% to $384.9 million in 2014 from $416.3 million in 2013. On an overall consolidated basis, residential roofing product sales decreased 12.1%, non-residential roofing product sales decreased 2.3%, and complementary product sales decreased 4.1%. During the second quarter, the company had no branches classified as acquired markets and as such, consolidated sales are representative of existing market sales. In addition, the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 both had the same number of business days.
The net loss for the second quarter was $12.1 million, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million in 2013. The second quarter loss per share was $0.25, compared to a net loss per share of $0.00 in 2013. The increase in net loss for the second quarter was due to a combination of reduced sales as a result of the extended duration and severity of the colder temperatures and winter weather through many of our operating regions, reduced selling prices as a result of soft demand, and an unfavorable shift in sales mix to lower margin direct shipment and commercial business. In addition, the company incurred increased operating expenses of $3.9 million this quarter related to new stores (greenfield locations not open last year) as the company continued to expand its footprint in existing and new markets.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which are reconciled to the net loss in this press release, were ($7.3) million in 2014 compared to $11.6 million in 2013, driven primarily by the larger net loss.
First Half
Total sales increased 0.8% to $937.0 million in 2014 from $930.0 million in 2013. Existing market (organic) sales, which exclude branches acquired after the beginning of last year’s first quarter, decreased 1.5%. The first half of 2014 and 2013 both had the same number of business days. In existing markets, residential roofing product sales decreased 5.4%, non-residential roofing product sales increased 3.8%, and complementary product sales decreased 1.7%.
Net income for the first half of 2014 was $2.8 million compared to $18.0 million in 2013. First half of 2014 diluted net income per share was $0.06 compared to $0.37 in 2013. The lower net income was due to the same set of factors mentioned above for the second quarter decline in net income. First half of 2014 diluted net income per share was $0.06, compared to an adjusted diluted net income per share of $0.35 in 2013. The first half of 2013 included a $2.6 million credit to interest expense ($1.5 million, net of taxes), $0.03 per share, resulting from adjustments in the fair values of certain interest rate derivatives, and a $0.9 million charge ($0.5 million, net of taxes), $0.01 per share, for termination benefits.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first half was $30.2 million in 2014, compared to $53.4 million in 2013, a decrease of 43.5% due primarily to lower net income.
Cash flow from operations was $36.1 million in 2014 compared to $20.6 million in 2013. This increase in operating cash flows was influenced primarily by improvements in working capital requirements from strong receivable collections and increased inventory purchases with extended payable terms. Cash on hand increased by $17.3 million to $34.0 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $16.7 million at March 31, 2013. This increase was due primarily to continued robust operating cash flow and a reduction of cash used in investing activities in 2014, compared to 2013. As of March 31, 2014, we had available borrowings under our revolving lines of credit of $331.6 million.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjustments to contingent consideration, and stock-based compensation. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the distribution industry, and we present Adjusted EBITDA to enhance your understanding of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used in our bank covenants and we use Adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measurement and as one criterion for evaluating our performance relative to that of our peers. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an operating performance measure that provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles, and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. Further, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it improves comparability of results of operations, since purchase accounting used for acquisitions can render depreciation and amortization non-comparable between periods. Management uses these supplemental measures to evaluate performance period over period and to analyze the underlying trends in the Company’s business and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. We expect to compute our non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year.
While we believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for investors, it is not a measurement presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operations, or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA has inherent material limitations as a performance measure. It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization expense. Because we have capital and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our costs. Adjusted EBITDA also does not include stock-based compensation, which is a necessary element of our costs since we make stock awards to key members of management as an important incentive to maximize overall company performance and as a benefit. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA does not include taxes, and payment of taxes is a necessary element of our operations. Accordingly, since Adjusted EBITDA excludes these items, it has material limitations as a performance measure. The Company’s management separately monitors capital expenditures, which impact depreciation expense, as well as amortization expense, interest expense, and income tax expense. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Note: Some totals above may not foot due to rounding.
Note: The Company’s management believes that "Adjusted Earnings per Share," which excludes certain events such as the recognition of changes in the fair value of certain interest rate derivatives and termination benefits is useful to investors because it permits investors to better understand year-over-year changes in underlying operating performance.
The majority of the above termination benefits are associated with the retirement of our former CFO. While management believes Adjusted Earnings per Share (EPS) is a useful measure for investors, it is not a measurement presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). You should not consider Adjusted Earnings per Share in isolation or as a substitute for net loss per share or diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP.
