“Strong execution by our team and a favorable residential backdrop drove record fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA,” said Julian Francis, Beacon’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Mid-single digit growth in residential roofing helped to offset softness in the non-residential product categories stemming from the continuing economic impact of COVID. Within this dynamic environment, we are intensely focused on selling activity and leveraging our leading digital platform that accounted for more than 10% of September sales. Q4 gross margins increased significantly compared to the prior year, and I was particularly pleased with how we executed on the price increases mid-quarter. Operating cost discipline was again evident in the quarter, and we continued to improve the profitability of our lowest quintile branches compared to the prior year. Record second half 2020 operating cash flow strengthened our financial position giving us the ability and the confidence to repay the ABL draw we implemented in March as COVID began impacting our business. As fiscal year 2021 begins, we are grateful for the dedication and tireless efforts of our employees, as we continue to focus on improving the controllable aspects of our business and driving towards realizing our full potential.”

Fourth Quarter

Company-wide sales reflect positive contributions from residential demand and from those states less impacted by the pandemic, offset by softer demand from non-residential categories and states more heavily impacted by COVID. Net sales decreased 0.6% compared to the prior year. Residential roofing product sales increased 6.2%, non-residential roofing product sales decreased 11.7%, and complementary product sales decreased 1.5% compared to the prior year. The fourth quarter of fiscal years 2020 and 2019 each had 64 business days.

Gross margin improved 120 basis points from 24.3% in the prior year to 25.5%, primarily reflecting an improved price-cost spread. Operating expense decreased compared to the prior year. Adjusted operating expense was flat compared to the prior year period as management’s effective cost control during the COVID-19 pandemic was partially offset by higher incentive compensation.

Net income (loss) was $71.9 million, compared to $27.4 million in 2019. Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $65.9 million, compared to $21.4 million in 2019. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $104.7 million, compared to $82.0 million in 2019. EPS was $0.83, compared to $0.27 in 2019. Comparative fourth quarter results were driven primarily by higher gross margins, the impact of operating cost controls on the current period and reduced other non-operating expense. These impacts were partially offset by sales declines within non-residential end markets.

Please see the included financial tables for a reconciliation of “Adjusted” non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as further detail on the components driving the net changes over the comparative periods.

Fiscal Year

Net sales decreased 2.3% compared to the prior year. Residential roofing product sales increased 0.6%, non-residential roofing product sales decreased 3.4%, and complementary product sales decreased 5.3% compared to the prior year. Fiscal years 2020 and 2019 had 254 and 253 business days, respectively.

Gross margin improved from 24.4% in the prior year to 24.5%. Operating expense increased compared to the prior year, primarily from the write-off of certain trade names in connection with the Company’s rebranding efforts, partially offset by management’s effective cost control during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adjusted operating expense decreased compared to 2019, primarily as a result of management’s cost control.

Net income (loss) was $(80.9) million, compared to $(10.6) million in 2019. Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $(104.9) million, compared to $(34.6) million in 2019. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $190.1 million, compared to $176.2 million in 2019. EPS was $(1.52), compared to $(0.51) in 2019.

Amounts do not include 9.7 million shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s participating Preferred Stock because such conversion would be anti-dilutive.

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common share equivalents or the conversion of Preferred Stock. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock unit awards. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the fully diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The following table presents the components and calculations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for each period presented:

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) excluding the impact of the adjusting items (as described below).
  • Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) 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 are related. 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 are excluded from each of our non-GAAP measures (the “adjusting items”):

  • Acquisition costs. Represents 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. Represents costs stemming from headcount rationalization efforts and certain rebranding costs; accrued estimated costs related to employee benefit plan withdrawals; and amortization of debt issuance costs and loss on debt extinguishment.
  • COVID-19 impact. Represents costs directly related to our response to the COVID-19 pandemic; and income tax provision (benefit) stemming from the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities made in conjunction with the Company’s 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:
