PEABODY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 14, 2006--Beacon Roofing
Supply, Inc. ("Beacon" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BECN) announced
today record performance for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006 ("2006").
Fourth Quarter
Sales increased 86.6% to a record $431.3 million in the fourth
quarter of 2006 from $231.2 million in the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year ended September 24, 2005 ("2005"), reflecting acquisitions
made in 2006 and strong internal growth across all three product
groups: residential roofing, non-residential roofing and complementary
building products. The internal sales ("existing markets") growth rate
was 20.0% in the fourth quarter of 2006, while the acquired companies
contributed the remaining sales increase.
There were three additional business days in the fourth quarter of
2006 compared to 2005. Excluding the impact of those three days,
internal sales still increased 14.3% in existing markets. Existing
markets exclude branches acquired in the four quarters prior to the
start of the reporting period.
During 2006, Beacon made several major acquisitions, including the
purchase of Shelter Distribution, Inc., which currently operates 57
branches, and opened six new branches. In the fourth quarter of 2006,
Beacon acquired two companies, Roof Depot and RSM, whose six branches
were added to Shelter regions, and opened one new branch.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter increased 83.6% to $102.4
million from $55.8 million a year ago, while the overall and existing
market gross margin rates were 23.7% compared to 24.1% last year. For
the fourth quarter, the gross profit of the largest of our 2005
acquisitions, JGA, which has lower gross margins and had much higher
sales compared to 2005, was included in the existing market results
and reduced the existing market gross margin rate. The overall gross
margin rate was slightly affected by unfavorable physical inventory
adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2006, mostly from acquired
markets.
Operating expenses increased $34.5 million, or 90.6%, compared to
2005, due primarily to the 2006 acquisitions. As a percentage of net
sales, overall operating expenses increased to 16.8% from 16.4%, as
the acquired companies had higher expenses as a rate of their sales,
including amortization expense that increased approximately $2.5
million, mostly resulting from the amortization of the intangible
assets recorded for acquired companies' customer relationships.
Existing market operating expenses increased $3.1 million, or 8.3%,
due primarily to higher payroll costs associated with the higher sales
volume and increased stock-based compensation (option) expense related
to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R in 2006. These factors were partially
offset by lower bad debt expense and lower professional fees. As a
percentage of net sales, existing market operating expenses declined
to 14.9% from 16.5%, due primarily to the leveraging of fixed expenses
over the higher sales.
Operating income increased 68.3% to $29.8 million in the fourth
quarter of 2006 compared to $17.7 million in 2005. As a percentage of
net sales, overall operating income declined to 6.9% in the fourth
quarter of 2006 from 7.7% in 2005. However, existing market operating
income increased to 8.9% from 7.7%. Interest expense increased $4.9
million due primarily to the additional borrowings associated with the
acquisitions in 2006.
The Company's net income for the fourth quarter was a record $14.6
million compared to $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Diluted net income per share was $0.32 in the fourth quarter of 2006
compared to $0.25 in 2005, an increase of 28%.
2006 Annual Results
Sales increased 76.4% to a record $1.5 billion in 2006 from $850.9
million in 2005, reflecting the 2006 acquisitions and strong internal
growth across all three product groups. The internal sales growth rate
was 14.7% in 2006, while the acquired companies contributed the
remaining sales increase. There were four additional business days in
2006, which boosted existing market annual sales by approximately
2.3%.
Gross profit increased 75.7% to $364.1 million in 2006 compared
with $207.2 million in 2005, with the overall gross margin rate
remaining constant at 24.3%. The existing market gross margin rate
increased to 25.4% from 25.3%. The acquired branches had lower gross
margin rates than our existing markets in 2006.
Operating expenses increased $117.4 million or 80.1% in 2006
compared to 2005, mostly due to the impact of the 2006 acquisitions.
As a percentage of net sales, overall operating expenses increased to
17.6% from 17.2%, as the acquired companies had higher expenses as a
rate of their sales, including amortization expense that increased
approximately $8.5 million, mostly resulting from amortization of the
intangible assets recorded for acquired companies' customer
relationships. Existing market operating expenses increased $6.6
million, or 4.9%, due primarily to higher payroll costs associated
with the sales volume increase, six new branches opened in 2006, and
higher transportation costs and option expense. These factors were
partially offset by lower bad debt expense and lower professional
fees. As a percentage of net sales, existing market operating expenses
declined to 16.1% from 17.7%, due primarily to the leveraging of fixed
expenses over the higher sales.
Operating income increased 65.2% to $100.3 million in 2006 from
$60.7 million in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, overall operating
income declined to 6.7% in 2006 from 7.1% in 2005. However, existing
market operating income rose to 9.3% from 7.7%.
Interest expense increased $14.6 million in 2006 from 2005, due
primarily to the additional borrowings associated with the
acquisitions in 2006 and, to a lesser extent, higher interest rates.
The Company's income tax rate fell slightly to 39.0% in 2006 from
40.0% in 2005, reflecting greater reversals of income tax reserves
related to previously filed tax returns.
Beacon had record net income of $49.3 million in 2006, compared to
$32.9 million in 2005, due principally to the increase in operating
income, which was partially offset by the higher interest expense.
Diluted net income per share was $1.12 in 2006 compared to $0.80 in
2005, an increase of 40%.
Cash flow from operations was $82.8 million during 2006 compared
to $6.1 million during 2005. Along with the increase of $16.0 million
in net income, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization and
stock-based compensation increased $17.6 million in 2006. Also,
accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $37.6 million,
partially due to favorable extensions in payment terms offered to the
Company in 2006. In addition, in 2005, the Company curtailed its
purchases in the fourth quarter and paid down accounts payable
accordingly. The Company had strategically increased its inventories
prior to the fourth quarter of 2005 to counteract some price increases
and temporary shortages.
Robert Buck, the Company's President & Chief Executive Officer,
stated, "We had another excellent year and fourth quarter, periods in
which we experienced tremendous growth. Our business was very strong
all year and we were able to make some significant acquisitions and
open six new branches. These achievements took place while we were
also raising new funds for continued growth through a successful
secondary stock offering and a new $500 million credit facility which
closed in early November. Although we have seen a slowdown in our
business since the fourth quarter, when adjusting for five fewer
business days than in the first quarter of 2006, our sales continued
to grow slightly in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 through
November compared to the first quarter of 2006, considering that there
has been no price inflation. As a result, we are optimistic about 2007
and excited about our future. We continue to aggressively pursue
acquisitions throughout the United States and Canada that appear to be
a good fit with the very successful Beacon business model."
