Insights

M&A and Corporate Strategy Specialist

TopBuild's $810M Progressive Roofing acquisition diversifies revenue streams and expands into the $75B commercial roofing market with strong growth potential.

TopBuild has completed its $810 million all-cash acquisition of Progressive Roofing, establishing a strategic foothold in the $75 billion commercial roofing services sector. This transaction is particularly significant as it diversifies TopBuild's revenue composition with 70% of Progressive's revenue coming from non-discretionary re-roofing and maintenance services – business that tends to remain stable regardless of economic cycles.

Progressive brings impressive financial metrics to the table: $438 million in trailing 12-month revenue and $89 million in EBITDA (ending March 2025), representing a 20.3% EBITDA margin that exceeds industry averages. The $810 million purchase price values Progressive at approximately 9.1x EBITDA, which appears reasonable for a business with recurring revenue characteristics in this sector.

The acquisition creates meaningful synergistic opportunities through cross-selling building envelope solutions to general contractors. By adding commercial roofing capabilities to its existing portfolio, TopBuild can now offer more comprehensive services to commercial customers, potentially increasing revenue per customer and improving customer retention. The fragmented nature of the commercial roofing market also provides TopBuild with a platform for future bolt-on acquisitions, allowing for potential consolidation plays.

This move significantly enhances TopBuild's business resilience by increasing exposure to non-cyclical, maintenance-driven revenue streams. While TopBuild's traditional insulation business is heavily tied to new construction cycles, Progressive's focus on re-roofing and maintenance (70% of revenue) provides valuable counter-cyclical balance, potentially reducing earnings volatility over time.
