OREANDA-NEWS. BMC Stock Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:BMCH) (“BMC” or the “Company”), a diversified lumber and building materials distributor and solutions provider that sells primarily to new construction and remodeling contractors, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights and Merger Integration Update
On December 1, 2015, Stock Building Supply Holdings, Inc. (“SBS”) completed its merger transaction (the “Merger”) with Building Material Holdings Corporation (“Legacy BMC”).  As a result of the Merger, current year results reported pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are not comparable to prior year periods.  For a more detailed explanation, see the “Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results - Basis of Presentation” section of this press release.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company generated solid operating result improvements and continued to make substantial progress on its integration plan. 

  • Net sales increased 123.2% to $797.5 million, compared to net sales of $357.3 million in the second quarter of 2015, and net sales increased 12.8% to $797.5 million, compared to Adjusted net sales (non-GAAP) of $707.4 million in the second quarter of 2015
  • Net income increased to $18.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, including Merger and integration costs of $3.6 million, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015
  • Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) increased to $21.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted net income of $12.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) increased $22.4 million to $57.5 million, compared to $35.1 million in the second quarter of 2015
  • Net cash provided by operating activities increased $17.2 million to $25.8 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2015
  • Since closing the Merger, the Company has implemented cost synergy initiatives totaling approximately $23 million in future annual run rate savings, and remains on track to achieve annual run rate synergies of $40 to $50 million by the end of 2017

Commenting on second quarter 2016 results, Peter Alexander, President and Chief Executive Officer of BMC, stated, “During the quarter, the macro elements supporting further expansion in residential construction activity, including consumer confidence, low interest rates and employment and wage growth, remained favorable.  With this background, our operating teams continued to capitalize on profitable growth opportunities and delivered healthy financial improvements.  Net sales increased 123.2% compared to net sales in the second quarter of 2015 and grew 12.8% when compared to Adjusted net sales in the second quarter of 2015, driven by structural component growth of 15.3%, and millwork, doors and windows growth of 17.0%.  In addition, our innovative Ready-Frame® offering continued to gain traction with sales up nearly 32%, compared to the second quarter of 2015.  Most importantly, through focused execution on our strategic objectives, net income as a percentage of net sales increased to 2.3% and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 220 basis points, to 7.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2015.  Furthermore, integration activities are progressing with positive momentum and we remain confident in our ability to deliver $40 - $50 million of annualized run-rate cost savings by the end of 2017.”

Jim Major, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of BMC, commented,  “Our second quarter 2016 results continued to build upon our strong earnings growth momentum as Merger-related cost synergies and other productivity initiatives resulted in gross margins of 24.0% while selling, general and administrative expenses declined to 17.5% of net sales.  The combination of improving cash flow from operations and $13.6 million in net proceeds from our May 2016 equity offering allowed us to reduce long-term debt to $376.6 million as of June 30, 2016, and positions us to seek additional investments that further the execution of our strategic objectives and improve operating results.”

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results - Basis of Presentation
The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” under the acquisition method of accounting, with SBS treated as the legal acquirer and Legacy BMC treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.  As such, the Company has accounted for the Merger by using the Legacy BMC historical information and accounting policies and adding the assets and liabilities of SBS as of the completion date of the Merger at their estimated fair values.  As a result, current year results reported pursuant to U.S. GAAP are not comparable to prior year periods.

For informational purposes only, the Company has furnished certain Adjusted financial information for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 and the period ended December 31, 2015 (non-GAAP Adjusted net debt).  The prior year Adjusted financial information combines the historical results of Legacy BMC and SBS for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015.  The Adjusted financial information has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is based upon information and assumptions deemed appropriate by the Company’s management.  This Adjusted financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s results actually would have been had the Merger been completed as of January 1, 2015.  In addition, this Adjusted financial information is not indicative of future results or current financial conditions and does not reflect any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, cost savings or integration costs that have resulted or may result in the future from the Merger.  All Adjusted financial information should be read in conjunction with separate historical financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  A reconciliation of Adjusted financial measures to GAAP financial measures is provided in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” section of the press release.

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period
Net sales in the second quarter of 2016 increased 123.2% to $797.5 million, compared to the second quarter of 2015, primarily as a result of the Merger and the acquisitions of VNS Corporation (“VNS”) and Robert Bowden, Inc. (“RBI”).  Net sales in the second quarter of 2016 increased 12.8% to $797.5 million, compared to Adjusted net sales in the second quarter of 2015.  The Company estimates net sales, as compared to Adjusted net sales in the second quarter of 2015, increased 5.4% as a result of acquisitions completed in 2015 (excluding the Merger), 6.8% from other volume growth and 0.6% as a result of lumber and sheet goods commodity price inflation.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2016 increased 128.7% to $191.7 million, compared to the second quarter of 2015, primarily driven by the Merger and the acquisitions of VNS and RBI.

Second quarter 2016 selling, general and administrative expenses increased 107.2% to $139.9 million, compared to the second quarter of 2015, primarily as a result of the Merger and the acquisitions of VNS and RBI.

Depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2016, including the portion reported within cost of sales, increased to $11.8 million, compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2015.  The increase was primarily driven by fixed assets acquired through the Merger and the acquisitions of VNS and RBI, as well as replacements and additions of delivery fleet, material handling equipment and operating equipment.

Amortization expense in the second quarter of 2016 was $5.3 million, compared to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2015.  The increase in amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 related to intangible assets acquired through the Merger and the acquisitions of VNS and RBI.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2016 was $8.1 million, including $0.9 million of non-cash amortized debt issuance costs, compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2015.  This increase was primarily the result of borrowings assumed in the Merger.

For the second quarter of 2016, the Company reported operating income of $33.6 million, compared to operating income of $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2015, and net income of $18.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015.  Second quarter 2016 results included approximately $3.6 million in Merger and integration costs.

Adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2016 was $21.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted net income of $12.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015.  Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2016 was $57.5 million, compared to $35.1 million in the second quarter of 2015.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” section of this press release.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total liquidity as of June 30, 2016 was approximately $193.9 million, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $6.0 million and $187.9 million of borrowing availability under our asset-backed revolver.  Capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2016 totaled $14.0 million, primarily to fund purchases of vehicles and equipment to support increased sales volume and replace aged assets, and facility and technology investments to support our operations.  In addition, the Company acquired approximately $0.5 million of assets, consisting primarily of material handling equipment, under capital lease arrangements.

Outlook
“We are pleased with the execution on our integration plan and the meaningful operating result improvements made during the first half of 2016,” stated Mr. Alexander.  “We expect that prevailing macroeconomic trends will continue to support steady growth in the U.S. housing market.  Given this backdrop and our solid balance sheet, BMC is well positioned to expand shareholder value and profitability by leveraging existing differentiated service capabilities and strategically investing in additional solutions that deliver productivity improvements for our employees and customers alike.”
