Beacon Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

May 07, 2020 04:00 pm
HERNDON, Va. -- 

Beacon (Nasdaq: BECN) (the “Company”) announced results today for its second quarter and six-month period ended March 31, 2020 (“2020”).

“Consistent with our pre-release, we produced record second quarter net sales and adjusted EBITDA,” said Julian Francis, Beacon’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Q2 again demonstrates significant positive progress toward our goals, highlighted by nearly 5% sales growth the first 2 ½ months, year-to-year gross margin stabilization and positive adjusted operating leverage. Despite being declared an essential business in all markets in which we operate, in mid-March the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to quickly adapt to a changing environment. In response, we have taken swift and meaningful actions to reduce costs. We have also taken proactive measures to reduce inventory and capital expenditures, and we have mitigated any long-term liquidity risks by strengthening our cash position. April sales declined with considerable divergence in state-by-state performance, as certain states have been significantly impacted by state and local government restrictions. With that said, we are well prepared for a range of demand scenarios through a strong operating model, financial flexibility, and appropriate cost actions. Amid this period of uncertainty, we are finding opportunities to improve productivity and seeing our industry-leading digital platform and enhanced levels of customer service increasingly becoming differentiators for customers. We expect these items to drive sustainable benefits when the COVID-19 headwinds have passed.”

Second Quarter

Net sales increased 2.1% to $1.46 billion, from $1.43 billion in 2019. The sales increase was influenced by our sales initiatives around contractor conversions, national account sales, and the continued positive impact of our industry-leading digital platform, partially offset by decreased hurricane-related demand compared to the prior year. Residential roofing product sales decreased 1.3%, non-residential roofing product sales increased 12.6%, and complementary product sales decreased 0.4% compared to the prior year. The second quarter of fiscal years 2020 and 2019 had 64 and 63 business days, respectively.

Net income (loss) was $(122.6) million, compared to $(68.1) million in 2019. Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $(128.6) million, compared to $(74.1) million in 2019. EPS was $(1.87), compared to $(1.08) in 2019. Second quarter results were negatively impacted by the write-off of certain trade names in connection with the Company’s rebranding efforts that were announced in January 2020 (the “Rebranding”). This impact was partially offset by higher sales and gross margins, and lower interest expense, finance, and other.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $(12.5) million, compared to $(24.9) million in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was $38.9 million, compared to $27.4 million in 2019.

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.

Year-to-Date

Net sales decreased 0.5% to $3.13 billion, from $3.15 billion in 2019. The sales decline was mainly influenced by decreased hurricane-related demand compared to the prior year, partially offset by the continued positive impact of our industry-leading digital platform. Residential roofing product sales decreased 2.3%, non-residential roofing product sales increased 6.0%, and complementary product sales decreased 2.8% compared to the prior year. The first six months of fiscal years 2020 and 2019 had 126 and 125 business days, respectively.

Net income (loss) was $(146.1) million, compared to $(69.0) million in 2019. Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders was $(158.1) million, compared to $(81.0) million in 2019. EPS was $(2.30), compared to $(1.18) in 2019. Six-month results were negatively impacted by the second quarter write-off of certain trade names in connection with the Rebranding.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $15.8 million, compared to $21.6 million in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was $133.1 million, compared to $149.1 million in 2019.

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.

Three and six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 amounts include non-cash accelerated intangible asset amortization of $142.6 million in connection with the Rebranding.

2

 

Three and six months ended March 31, 2020 amounts include a $5.6 million settlement received in connection with a class action lawsuit and a $5.3 million refund to be received as the final true-up of the $164.0 million payment resulting from the 338(h)(10) election made in connection with the acquisition of Allied Building Products Corp. on January 2, 2018 (the “Allied Acquisition”).

3

 

Three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 amounts are composed of $5.0 million in undeclared cumulative Preferred Stock dividends, as well as an additional $1.0 million of Preferred Stock dividends that had been declared and paid as of period end. Six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 amounts are composed of $5.0 million in undeclared cumulative Preferred Stock dividends, as well as an additional $7.0 million of Preferred Stock dividends that had been declared and paid as of period end..

4

Amounts do not include 9,694,619 shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s participating Preferred Stock because such conversion would be anti-dilutive.

5

 

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 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

In connection with the Allied Acquisition, the Company completed the sale of 400,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), with an aggregate liquidation preference of $400.0 million, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, to CD&R Boulder Holdings, L.P. The Preferred Stock is convertible perpetual participating preferred stock of the Company, and conversion of the Preferred Stock into $0.01 par value shares of the Company’s common stock will be at a conversion price of $41.26 per share (or 9,694,619 shares of common stock). The Preferred Stock accumulates dividends at a rate of 6.0% per annum (payable in cash or in-kind, subject to certain conditions). The Preferred Stock is not mandatorily redeemable; therefore, it is classified as mezzanine equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

a.

Mainly composed of costs stemming from headcount rationalization efforts and certain Rebranding costs.

b.

Amounts include accrued estimated costs related to employee benefit plan withdrawals and amortization of debt issuance costs. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, amount also includes a loss on debt extinguishment of $14.7 million in connection with the October 2019 debt refinancing.

4

Mainly composed of a $33.3 million income tax benefit resulting from our application of the CARES Act (see Note 14 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), partially offset by severance and other costs directly related to the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

5

The effective tax rate applied to these adjustments is calculated by using forecasted adjusted pre-tax income while factoring in estimated discrete tax adjustments for the fiscal year. The tax impact of adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were calculated using a blended effective tax rate of 28.9% and 29.2%, respectively. The tax impact of adjustments for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were calculated using an effective tax rate of 28.4% and 27.5%, respectively.

We use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 Adjusted Net Income (Loss) consistently using the same method each period.

We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is a useful measure because it permits 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 Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is useful to investors when evaluating our business, it is not prepared and presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. You should not consider Adjusted Net Income (Loss) in isolation or as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding the impact of interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, business restructuring costs, and the direct financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the distribution industry, and we present Adjusted EBITDA to enhance your understanding of our operating performance.

2

Three and six months ended March 31, 2020 amounts include tax benefits from deferred tax adjustments of $36.5 million related to the Rebranding and $33.3 million related to the impact of the recently announced CARES Act related to the COVID-19 pandemic that allows the Company to carry back net operating losses for five years and tax effects current year net losses at a 35% rate.

3 

Three and six months ended March 31, 2020 amounts include the impact of non-cash accelerated intangible asset amortization of $142.6 million related to the write-off of certain trade names in connection with the Rebranding.

4

 

Includes selling, general, and administrative costs related to acquisitions (excluding the impact of tax). For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, amounts are offset by a $5.3 million refund to be received as the final true-up of the $164.0 million payment resulting from the 338(h)(10) election made in connection with the Allied Acquisition. The other items the Company classifies as acquisition costs are embedded within the other balances reported in the table.

5

 

Six months ended March 31, 2020 amount is mainly composed of a loss on debt extinguishment of $14.7 million in connection with debt refinancing, as well as accrued estimated costs related to employee benefit plan withdrawals, costs stemming from headcount rationalization efforts, and certain Rebranding costs.
