“I want to acknowledge the emotional devastation and personal loss many people across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States experienced as a result of two hurricanes that made landfall in late September and early October,” said Brad Wheeler, Chief Operating Officer. “Our thoughts are with all those affected, particularly in Florida and North Carolina. Several of our branches were affected, but thanks to a total team effort and our Employee Financial Assistance program, we were able to swiftly mobilize resources to restore operations and support our employees when they needed it most.”

“IBP delivered record third-quarter revenue and profitability, with each end market, from residential to commercial, growing organically. Our talented and committed employees across the country focused on what they can control by providing our customers with reliable, high-quality building product installation service. The long-term view on demand for our installed service is unchanged. We believe residential and commercial end market trends are favorable as builders work to meet demand through the increased supply of houses, apartments, and commercial structures,” stated Jeff Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“Our capital allocation initiatives remain consistent with two additional acquisitions closing in July and October. Year-to-date, we have acquired over $73 million in annual revenue. Based on our current acquisition pipeline, we expect more deals to be completed before year end and although deal timing is hard to predict, our outlook for 2025 is positive. In addition, during the nine-month period ending September 2024, we utilized our strong cash flow generation and healthy balance sheet to repurchase approximately $66 million of our common stock and pay $75 million in dividends,” continued Mr. Edwards.

“As we approach the final month of 2024, we are positioned to close out the year on a favorable note and begin 2025 from a position of strength,” 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 2024, IBP has acquired over $73 million of annual revenue.

During the 2024 third quarter and in October 2024, IBP completed the following acquisitions:

• In July 2024, IBP acquired Euroview Enterprises, LLC, Contract Mirror and Supply Co., and CLM Solutions, LLC (collectively “Euroview”), an Illinois-based residential and commercial installer of building products in key construction markets in the Midwest. Euroview has annual revenue of approximately $20 million.
• In October 2024, IBP acquired Wholesale Insulation Supply, Inc. doing business as Insulation Supplies, a specialty distributor focused on supplying fiberglass insulation, spray foam insulation, cellulose insulation, and related accessories and machinery to residential and commercial end markets with annual revenue of over $22 million.

IBP’s Board of Directors has approved the Company’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, payable on December 31, 2024, to stockholders of record on December 15, 2024. The fourth quarter regular cash dividend represents a 6% increase from last year’s fourth quarter cash dividend payment.

Share Repurchases

Third Quarter 2024 Results Overview

For the third quarter of 2024, net revenue was $760.6 million, an increase of 7.7% from $706.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. On a consolidated same branch basis, net revenue increased 5.2% from the prior year quarter, supported by growth in our residential and commercial end markets. Residential sales growth within the Company's Installation segment was up 5.0% on a same branch basis in the quarter, both single-family and multi-family same branch sales increased from the prior year quarter. Commercial sales in the Installation segment were up 6.1% from the prior year quarter on a same branch basis.

Gross profit improved 6.1% to $256.8 million from $242.1 million in the prior year quarter. Gross profit and adjusted gross profit* as a percent of net revenue were both 33.8%, compared to 34.3% in the same period last year. Adjusted gross profit primarily adjusts for the Company’s share-based compensation expense.

Selling and administrative expense, as a percent of total revenue, was 19.1% compared to 18.2% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted selling and administrative expense*, as a percent of net revenue, was 18.5% compared to 17.7% in the prior year quarter.

Net income was $68.6 million, or $2.44 per diluted share, compared to $68.0 million, or $2.40 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Net profit margin for the third quarter was 9.0% compared to 9.6% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income* was $80.1 million, or $2.85 per diluted share, compared to $78.9 million, or $2.79 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net profit margin* for the third quarter was 10.5% compared to 11.2% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income accounts for the impact of non-core items in both periods, including an addback for non-cash amortization expense related to acquisitions.

EBITDA* was $127.3 million, a 0.4% increase from $126.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA* was $132.3 million, a 1.4% increase from $130.5 million in the prior year quarter, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin* of 17.4% and 18.5%, respectively.

Net profit, adjusted net profit, and adjusted EBITDA margin reductions during the quarter were primarily due to a greater proportion of our single-family sales shifting to production builders as well as higher growth in non-insulation product sales relative to a year ago. Additionally, we experienced initial start-up costs related to building out our internal distribution operations and higher insurance expense from the prior year period.

*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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net of dispositions, Adjusted EBITDA margin (i.e., Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue), Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income, net of dispositions, 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 EBITDA, 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.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we decided to wind down the operations of a single new commercial end market-oriented branch that focused on the installation of a non-core end product, due to shifting market conditions, an unfavorable contract settlement, and sub-standard operating performance. All dispositions figures reflect the results of this single branch. All net of dispositions figures reflect the exclusion of the results of this single branch.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Selling and Administrative Expense measure performance by adjusting GAAP net income, EBITDA, 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.
