Fourth Quarter

Net sales increased 6.9% compared to the prior year to $1.88 billion, a quarterly record for net sales from continuing operations. Fourth quarter sales increased across all three lines of business, largely driven by the realization of higher prices.

Residential roofing product sales increased 3.1%, complementary product sales increased 17.0%, and non-residential roofing product sales increased 7.0% compared to the prior year. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 each had 64 business days.

Gross margin improved to 27.1% in 2021, from 25.1% in the prior year, primarily reflecting pricing execution that drove price-cost improvement, partially offset by an unfavorable sales mix. Operating expense increased in the fourth quarter due to higher payroll and benefits expense, which increased due to higher incentive compensation and the impact of certain temporary cost actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Selling expenses, driven primarily by increased travel and entertainment costs, also contributed to the comparative increase. Adjusted Operating Expense was also comparatively higher in the current period due to the same factors. Both operating expense and Adjusted Operating Expense increased as a percent of sales, reflecting the higher incentive compensation and selling costs.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations was $104.5 million, compared to $68.2 million in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was $208.1 million, compared to $169.0 million in 2020. EPS was $1.21, compared to $0.78 in 2020. Comparative improvements in fourth quarter results were driven by higher sales and gross margins.

Fiscal Year

Net sales increased 12.3% compared to the prior year despite one fewer business day, an annual record for net sales from continuing operations. Residential roofing product sales increased 14.2%, complementary product sales increased 17.7%, and non-residential roofing product sales increased 4.5% compared to the prior year. Fiscal years 2021 and 2020 had 253 and 254 business days, respectively.

Gross margin improved to 26.5% in 2021, from 24.0% in the prior year. Operating expense decreased compared to the prior year, primarily due to the write-off of certain trade names in connection with the Company’s rebranding efforts in the prior period, as well as productivity efforts and improvements in our cost structure. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in payroll and employee benefit costs, primarily due to the year-over-year increase in annual incentive expense in 2021, higher wages to support stronger demand, and the impact of certain temporary cost actions taken in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Adjusted Operating Expense was comparatively higher in 2021, primarily due to the same factors. Both operating expense and Adjusted Operating Expense decreased as a percent of sales, reflecting the positive impact of net sales growth, productivity initiatives and cost management.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations was $221.2 million, compared to $(81.3) million in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was $654.7 million, compared to $398.6 million in 2020. EPS was $2.75, compared to $(1.53) in 2020.

Recent Acquisition Activity

On November 1, 2021, we announced the acquisition of Midway Sales & Distributing, Inc., a leading Midwest distributor of residential and commercial exterior building and roofing supplies with 10 branches across Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. With annual sales of approximately $130 million, the acquisition deepens Beacon’s already strong presence in the Midwest.

____________________

1.

On February 10, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its interior products and insulation businesses (“Interior Products”) to Foundation Building Materials Holding Company LLC. Unless otherwise noted, the Company has reflected Interior Products as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

2.

The hypothetical conversion of the Preferred Stock became dilutive for the year ended September 30, 2021, primarily stemming from the significant income from continuing operations and offsetting loss from discontinued operations in 2021, and their combined effect on the Company’s calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share.

BEACON ROOFING SUPPLY, INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited; in millions)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we prepare certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, specifically:

  • Adjusted Operating Expense. We define Adjusted Operating Expense as operating expense, excluding the impact of the adjusting items (as described below).
  • Adjusted Net Income (Loss). We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding the impact of the adjusting items (as described below).
  • Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding the impact of interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and the adjusting items (as described below).

We use these supplemental non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial performance, analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used when allocating resources. We expect to compute our non-GAAP financial measures consistently using the same methods each period.

We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful measures because they permit investors to better understand changes over comparative periods by providing financial results that are unaffected by certain items that are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

While we believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors when evaluating our business, they are not prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may have material limitations including, but not limited to, the exclusion of certain costs without a corresponding reduction of net income for the income generated by the assets to which the excluded costs relate. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

BEACON ROOFING SUPPLY, INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures (continued)
(Unaudited; in millions)

Adjusting Items to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The impact of the following expense (income) items is excluded from each of our non-GAAP measures (the “adjusting items”):

  • Acquisition costs. Represent certain costs related to historical acquisitions, including: amortization of intangible assets; professional fees, branch integration expenses, travel expenses, employee severance and retention costs, and other personnel expenses classified as selling, general and administrative; and amortization of debt issuance costs.
  • Restructuring costs. Represent costs stemming from headcount rationalization efforts; branch re-organization; certain rebranding costs; impact of the Interior Products divestiture; accrued estimated costs related to employee benefit plan withdrawals; and debt refinancing and extinguishment costs.
  • COVID-19 impacts. Represent costs directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and income tax provision (benefit) stemming from the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities made in conjunction with our application of the CARES Act.
  • Effects of tax reform. Represents income tax provision (benefit) related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

The following table presents the impact and respective location of the adjusting items on our consolidated statements of operations for each of the periods indicated:

Amounts represent tax impact on adjusting items that are not included in our income tax provision (benefit) for the periods presented. The effective tax rate applied to these adjusting items is calculated by using forecasted adjusted pre-tax income while factoring in estimated discrete tax adjustments for the fiscal year. The tax impact of adjusting items for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were calculated using a blended effective tax rate of 25.4% and 39.0%, respectively. The elevated rate in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities made in conjunction with the Company’s application of the CARES Act. The tax impact of adjusting items for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were calculated using an effective tax rate of 25.6% and 25.6%, respectively.
