PEABODY, Mass., Feb 09, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (Nasdaq: BECN) (the
"Company") announced today record performance for the first fiscal
2006 quarter ended December 31, 2005.
Sales increased 70.6% to a record $339.9 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 ("2006") from $199.2 million in fiscal 2005
("2005"), reflecting strong internal growth of 14.3%, with strong
sales in all three major product lines: residential roofing,
non-residential roofing and complementary building products. Shelter
Distribution ("Shelter"), acquired in mid-October 2005, JGA Corp.
("JGA"), acquired in mid-December 2004, and our other companies
acquired since the beginning of 2005, contributed the remaining sales
increase. The Company also opened eight new branches since December
31, 2004.
Gross profit increased 66.3% to $83.7 million in 2006 from $50.3
million in 2005. Gross margin declined from 25.3% to 24.6%, primarily
due to the inclusion of JGA and its lower gross margin product mix for
the full first quarter this year. However, the Company's gross margin
in existing markets improved to 25.8% in 2006 from 25.5% in 2005,
primarily due to a slight increase in vendor incentive rebates and
improved pricing in certain regions.
Operating expenses increased $25.0 million, or 75.7%, in 2006
compared to 2005, reflecting increases of $21.2 million from our
acquired companies and $3.8 million, or an increase of 11.6%, in
existing markets. The existing market increase was primarily due to
higher payroll costs and other expenses associated with the sales
volume increase. As a percentage of net sales, overall operating
expenses increased to 17.1% in 2006 from 16.6% in 2005 due to a higher
operating expense rate of 18.7% from our acquired companies. However,
our operating expense rate in existing markets declined to 16.2% from
16.6%, primarily due to the leveraging of our fixed costs over the
higher sales volume.
Operating income increased 48.3% to a record $25.7 million in 2006
from $17.3 million in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, operating
income declined to 7.6% from 8.7%, reflecting a lower operating margin
in our acquired companies. Due to the higher gross margin and lower
expense rate discussed above, our existing market operating margin
rose to 9.6% from 8.9%.
Interest expense increased $3.1 million to $4.0 million in 2006
due to higher borrowings (utilized to finance our acquisitions) and
higher interest rates, partially offset by the benefit from the
successful public sale of two million shares of our common stock in
December 2005. In connection with the Shelter acquisition in October
2005, the Company and its lenders amended the Company's revolving
lines of credit and term loans to, among other things, increase the
revolving lines of credit and term loans to totals of $230 and $80
million, respectively. The net proceeds from the December public
offering totaled $51.6 million, which were used to pay down our
revolver borrowings.
The Company achieved record first-quarter net income of $12.9
million in 2006 compared to net income of $8.7 million in 2005, an
increase of 47.6%. Net income in 2005 included a $0.9 million charge
for the early of retirement of debt. The Company has estimated an
annual income tax rate of 40.5% for fiscal 2006 compared to the rate
of 43.7% provided for in last year's first quarter. The annual fiscal
2005 income tax rate was 40.0%.
Diluted net income per share for the first quarter was $0.46 in
2006 compared to $0.32 per share in 2005.
Cash flow from operations was $22.9 million in the first quarter
of 2006 compared to $12.8 million in 2005. The Company used a portion
of its 2006 cash from operations to increase inventories, exclusive of
the effects of businesses acquired, by $15.6 million in anticipation
of a continued strong sales growth rate.
Robert Buck, the Company's President & Chief Executive Officer,
stated, "We had another terrific quarter that exceeded our
expectations and included the major acquisition of Shelter that has
provided us access to many new and exciting markets. We are working on
the integration of our recent acquisitions while we continue to look
for further opportunistic acquisitions, such as the ones we completed
last month that allowed us to penetrate additional new high-growth
markets. Our employees' focus on providing our customers with
high-quality services and products continues to be the foundation of
our operational success."

(a) Excludes branches from markets acquired during fiscal 2006 and
2005, such as Shelter and JGA. Total sales in acquired markets of
$116.7 million plus total sales of $223.2 million in existing
markets equal the total fiscal 2006 first-quarter sales of $339.9
million. Total 2005 existing market sales of $195.3 million plus
2005 sales from JGA of $3.9 million equal the total 2005 sales of
$199.2 million. We believe the existing market information is
useful to investors because it helps explain organic growth.
