BLUELINX ANNOUNCES FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS

– Revenue Increases 8.7% to $1.91 Billion for the Year; Up 12.6% for the Quarter –

ATLANTA – February 13, 2013 – BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (NYSE:BXC), a leading distributor of building products in North America, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 29, 2012.

The Company reported revenues for the fourth quarter of $440.3 million, up 12.6% from $391.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.  Fourth-quarter 2012 net loss of $11.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $10.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, a year ago.  Gross profit for the fourth quarter totaled $52.1 million, up 8.7% from $48.0 million in the year-ago period.  Gross margins of 11.8% compared to 12.3% a year ago.  Fourth-quarter operating expenses of $56.7 million were up compared to $50.5 million for the same period a year ago, and included $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, and $3.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in net gains from significant special items in 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Reported operating loss for the quarter was $4.5 million, compared to $2.6 million a year ago.

For the full year ended December 29, 2012, revenues totaled $1.908 billion, up 8.7% from $1.755 billion the same period a year ago.  Net loss for the year ended December 29, 2012 totaled $23.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared with $38.6 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, a year ago.  Gross profit for the year ended December 29, 2012 totaled $230.1 million and gross margin was 12.1%, compared with $210.1 million and 12.0% a year earlier. Total operating expenses of $224.6 million were up compared to $218.4 a year ago, and included $10.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, and $12.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in net gains from significant special items in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

“For the full year 2012, we grew total revenue 8.7% while successfully producing our highest gross profit margins on record as we focused on opportunities for profitable growth.  As a result, we narrowed our comparable full year adjusted net loss by $12.2 million relative to a year ago as the housing market continued to accelerate,” said George Judd, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“As we move forward in 2013, we are confident in our ability to both increase our penetration of a growing market and maintain the operating discipline that we demonstrated over the last several years. Our outlook in 2013 is based on expectations of a significant increase in revenue from 2012,” Mr. Judd concluded.

For the quarter and full year periods ended December 29, 2012, the above table reflects the following events; (i) the Company recorded a gain on the sale of certain properties; and (ii) the Company recorded a gain from an insurance settlement.  The adjusted benefit from income taxes reflected in the table is comprised of the Company’s effective tax rate excluding the valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets and the tax effect of significant special items.  The adjusted benefit from income taxes assumes the Company’s deferred tax assets are realizable.

For the quarter and full year periods ended December 31, 2011, the above table reflects the following events:  (i) the Company recorded a gain on the sale of certain properties during the first quarter of 2011; (ii) the Company recorded a gain on the modification of a lease agreement; (iii) the Company recorded a gain from an insurance settlement; (iv) the Company recorded certain severance costs; and (v) the Company recorded the effect of a reduction in the fair value of its terminated ineffective interest rate swap partially offset by the continued amortization of the accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the ineffective interest rate swap into interest expense.  The adjusted benefit from income taxes reflected in the table is comprised of the Company’s effective tax rate excluding the valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets, a tax benefit related to our intra period income tax allocation to other comprehensive income and the tax effect of significant special items.  The adjusted benefit from income taxes assumes the Company’s deferred tax assets are realizable.

2013 Item

The Company intends to amend and extend its $400 million U.S. revolving credit facility. The amendment will extend the maturity by three years from the closing date. It is expected that the maximum available credit under the U.S. revolving credit facility will be increased by $22.5 million to $422.5 million. The amended U.S. revolving credit facility is also expected to continue to have a $100 million uncommitted accordion credit facility to potentially increase the maximum available credit to $522.5 million. The amended U.S. revolving credit facility is expected to have covenants substantially similar to those in the existing U.S. credit facility.

The Company has engaged Wells Fargo Capital Finance (“Wells Fargo”) as sole lead arranger for the transaction. Wells Fargo has informed the Company that it has received commitments from several financial institutions with respect to the U.S. revolving credit facility, subject to execution of satisfactory documentation and the completion of the $40 million rights offering of common stock announced on January 10, 2013. Closing is expected to occur concurrently with the completion of the rights offering of common stock. The definitive terms of, and the obligations of BlueLinx, Wells Fargo, and/or any members of the syndicate of financial institutions to enter into such an amendment to the U.S. revolving credit facility is subject to additional discussions and negotiations among the parties, and there is no assurance that an amendment to the existing U.S. revolving credit facility will be consummated.

Conference Call

BlueLinx will host a conference call today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, accompanied by a supporting slide presentation.  Investors can listen to the conference call and view the accompanying slide presentation by going to the BlueLinx web site, www.BlueLinxCo.com, and selecting the conference link on the Investor Relations page.  Investors will be able to access an archived recording of the conference call for one week by calling 404-537-3406, Conference ID# 93184373.  The recording will be available two hours after the conference call has concluded.  Investors also can access a recording of this call on the BlueLinx web site, where a replay of the webcast will be available for 90 days.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

BlueLinx reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company also believes that presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e., results excluding certain charges or other nonrecurring events, when appropriate, provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance, without the impact of significant special items, and thereby enhances the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance relative to past performance and provides a better baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Any non-GAAP measures used herein are reconciled in the financial tables accompanying this news release.  The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results.
