Q2 2024 Earnings Call December 7, 2023

2 Safe Harbor and B asis of Presentation Forward - Looking Statement Safe Harbor — This presentation includes “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can generally identify forward - looking statements by the Company’s use of forward - looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “bel ieve,” “confident,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” or “should,” or the negative thereof or other variations th ere on or comparable terminology. In particular, statements about the markets in which GMS operates and our products, including potential or expected growth in those markets and products, the eco nom y generally, our ability to continue successfully navigating the evolving operating environment and executing our business, strategic initiatives and priorities and growth pot ent ial, future M&A and greenfields, inflation, capital structure, pricing, volumes, net sales, organic sales, gross margins, incremental EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, inter est expense, tax rates, capital expenditures, free cash flow, future financial performance and liquidity, and the ability of the Company to grow stronger contained in this presentat ion may be considered forward - looking statements. Statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions or future events or performance may be co nsidered forward - looking statements. The Company has based forward - looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While the Company believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward - looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncerta inties, many of which are beyond its control, including current public health issues that may affect the Company’s business. Forward - looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10 - K, and in its other periodic reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the statements in this release are made as of December 7, 2023.

These forward - looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as o f any date subsequent to December 7, 2023. Use of Non - GAAP and Adjusted Financial Information — To supplement GAAP financial information, we use adjusted measures of operating results which are non - GAAP measures. This non - GAAP adjusted financial information is provided as additional information for investors. These adjusted results exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, and we believe their exclusion can enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the fu ture. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of our operating performance by excl udi ng non - recurring, infrequent or other non - cash charges that are not believed to be material to the ongoing performance of our business. The presentation of this additional inf ormation is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of net income, diluted earnings per share or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities pr epared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Please see the Appendix to this presentation for a further discussion on these non - GAAP measure s and a reconciliation of these non - GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
