FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BLUELINX ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTS

ATLANTA — BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (NYSE:BXC), a leading distributor of building products in North America, expects to report a fourth-quarter net loss in the range of $1.07 to $1.15 per fully diluted share and revenue of approximately $778 million. These results include the impact of previously announced severance, headquarters consolidation and inventory rationalization initiatives, as discussed below, and are based on the Company’s preliminary unaudited results for the fourth-quarter ended December 29, 2007. Gross profit margin for the quarter is expected to be approximately 8.4% compared with 9.8% for the same period a year ago, when the Company reported a net loss of $0.19 per fully diluted share on revenue of $940 million.

The Company’s preliminary results for the fourth-quarter reflect the ongoing correction in the housing market and were impacted further by several previously announced factors, including:

• an after-tax charge of approximately $7.0 million, or approximately $0.23 per share, related to the consolidation of the Company’s leased Atlanta corporate headquarters and sales center into one building from two buildings (approximately $0.2 million of this charge relates to moving expenses during the fourth-quarter requiring cash expenditures and the remainder of the charge is non-cash);

• an after-tax charge of approximately $3.4 million, or approximately $0.11 per share, associated with severance and outplacement costs resulting from the Company’s reduction in force during the fourth-quarter; and

• the Company’s stock keeping unit (“SKU”) rationalization initiative, whereby it discontinued certain underperforming SKUs and aggressively sold its inventory in these SKUs during the fourth-quarter. The Company estimates the SKU rationalization initiative negatively impacted its gross profit margin by approximately 130 basis points and earnings per share by approximately $0.20 for the fourth-quarter.

“During the quarter we took a number of actions to adjust our cost structure to the current business climate,” said Stephen Macadam, chief executive officer. “We continued to diligently manage costs and working capital in this housing downturn and generated cash from operations during the fourth-quarter. Additionally, the Company ended the year with over $220 million in excess availability on its revolving credit facility. I remain confident that we will continue to execute on our strategy throughout this cyclical downturn and grow our company as a leading national distributor of specialty building products.”

BlueLinx will report financial results for the fourth-quarter before the market opens on February 12, 2008, and host a conference call at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on that day. Details about the conference call will be provided approximately two weeks prior to the call.
