BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (the "Company") prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 has been presented for a better understanding of the impact of seasonal fluctuations on the Company's financial condition.

In management's opinion, the financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position and operating results. The results for the three-month period (first quarter) ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending September 30, 2014 (fiscal year 2014 or “2014”).

The Company’s inventories are primarily comprised of finished goods valued at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value). Cost is determined using the moving weighted-average cost method.

The three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 each had 62 business days.

You should also read the financial statements and notes included in the Company's fiscal year 2013 (“2013”) Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are the same as those described in that Annual Report.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards.

The following table presents the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for each period presented:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2013		2012
Weighted average common shares outstanding:
Basic		48,984,767		47,858,626
Dilutive effect of employee stock-based awards		899,844		1,006,473
Diluted		49,884,611		48,865,099

Pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance for calculating earnings per share, we have not included 1,021,267 stock options and restricted stock awards in our calculation of diluted net income per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, because the effect would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, there were 661,586 stock options and restricted stock awards which were antidilutive.

There were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended December 31, 2013.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

As of December 31, 2013, the Company maintains one equity incentive plan, the amended and restated Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. 2004 Stock Plan (the “Plan). The Plan provides for grants of stock options and restricted stock awards of up to 7,800,000 shares of common stock to key employees and directors. As of December 31, 2013, there were 798,971 shares of common stock available for awards under the Plan.

The Company recognizes the cost of employee services rendered in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the fair value of those awards at the date of the grant. Compensation expense for time-based equity awards is recognized, on a straight-line basis, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period for the fair value of the awards that actually vest. Compensation expense for performance-based equity awards is recognized, net of forfeitures, by projecting the number of restricted shares and units that are expected to vest based on the achievement of the underlying related performance measures.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited; dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

For awards granted under the Plan, the Company recognized $2.5 million of compensation expense during each of the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. As of December 31, 2013, there was $24.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to equity incentive awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years.

Stock options

As of December 31, 2013, there was $13.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.24 years. Except under certain conditions, the options are subject to continued employment and vest in one-third increments over a three-year period following the grant dates.

The following table illustrates the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

	2014			2013
Risk-free interest rate		1.76	%		0.63	%
Expected volatility		44	%		46	%
Expected life in years		6.0			6.0
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%

Expected lives of the options granted are based primarily on historical activity, while expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock and consideration of public companies’ stock. Estimated forfeiture rates vary by grant and range up to 8.0% as of December 31, 2013.

The following table summarizes stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2013, as well as activity during the three months then ended:

Exercisable at December 31, 2013		1,591,180	$	17.59		5.7	$	36.1

Restricted stock awards

As of December 31, 2013, there was $10.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.14 years.

The total fair values of the restricted stock awards were determined based upon the number of shares or units and the closing prices of the Company’s common stock on the dates of the grants. The restricted stock awards granted to management are subject to continued employment, except under certain conditions, and will vest if the Company attains a targeted rate of return on invested capital at the end of a three-year period. The actual number of shares or units that will vest can range from 0% to 125% of the management grants depending upon actual Company performance below or above the target level and the Company estimates that performance in determining the projected number of shares or units that will vest and the related compensation cost. The restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors are also subject to continued service, vest at the end of one year (except under certain conditions) and the underlying common shares will not be distributed until six months after the director separates from the Company.

ACQUISITIONS

On December 28, 2012, the Company purchased certain assets of Ford Wholesale Co. of San Jose ("Ford Wholesale") and Construction Materials Supply ("CMS"), distributors of residential and commercial roofing products with a combined five locations in Northern California and recent annual sales of approximately $60 million. On November 1, 2012, the Company purchased the stock of McClure-Johnston Company (“McClure-Johnston”), a distributor of residential and commercial roofing products and related accessories headquartered in the Pittsburgh suburb of Braddock, PA. McClure-Johnston has 14 locations with eight in Pennsylvania, three in West Virginia, one in Western Maryland and two in Georgia. Recent annual sales were approximately $85 million. The aggregate purchase price of these three acquisitions totaled approximately $64.6 million, with resulting goodwill of approximately $27.8 million.

As of December 31, 2013, we maintain $6.4 million in escrow for purchase price adjustments and post-closing indemnification claims related to acquisitions completed in fiscal 2012, with $3.4 million included in other current assets and accrued expenses and $3.0 million included in other long-term assets and liabilities.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Derivatives

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure related to fluctuating cash flows from changes in interest rates. Use of derivative financial instruments in hedging programs subjects the Company to certain risks, such as market and credit risks. Market risk represents the possibility that the value of the derivative instrument will change. In a hedging relationship, the change in the value of the derivative is offset to a great extent by the change in the value of the underlying hedged item. Credit risk related to derivatives represents the possibility that the counterparty will not fulfill the terms of the contract. The notional, or contractual, amount of the Company's derivative financial instruments is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the Company's exposure due to credit risk. The Company's current derivative instruments are with large financial counterparties rated highly by nationally recognized credit rating agencies.

The Company uses interest rate derivative instruments to manage the risk related to fluctuating cash flows from interest rate changes by converting a portion of its variable-rate borrowings into fixed-rate borrowings. As of December 31, 2013, the following interest rate derivative instruments were outstanding: a) a $213.8 million interest rate swap with interest payments at a fixed rate of 1.38%. This interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and amortizes at $2.8 million per quarter beginning on June 28, 2013 and expires on March 31, 2017.

For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the Company records the effective portions of changes in their fair value, net of taxes, in other comprehensive income. The effectiveness of the hedges is periodically assessed by the Company during the lives of the hedges by 1) comparing the current terms of the hedges with the related hedged debt to assure they continue to coincide and 2) through an evaluation of the ability of the counterparties to the hedges to honor their obligations under the hedges. Any ineffective portions of the hedges are recognized in earnings through interest expense, financing costs and other. The Company’s refinancing transaction on April 5, 2012, resulted in hedge ineffectiveness on the derivative instruments that expired in April 2013, as the underlying term debt being hedged was repaid before the expiration of the derivative instruments. Subsequent changes in the fair value of those swaps are being recognized in interest expense, financing costs and other. In the first quarter of 2013, there was a decline of $1.3 million in the fair value of the ineffective swaps that was recognized as a reduction to interest expense and other financing costs.

The Company records any differences paid or received on its interest rate hedges as adjustments to interest expense. The table below presents the combined fair values of the interest rate derivative instruments:

Instrument	Balance Sheet Location	December 31, 2013		September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012		Fair Value Hierarchy
Designated interest rate swaps (effective)	Accrued expenses	$	3,209	$	3,731	$	6,144	Level 2
Non-designated interest rate swaps (ineffective)	Accrued expenses		—		—		1,305	Level 2
		$	3,209	$	3,731	$	7,449

The fair values of the interest rate hedges were determined through the use of pricing models, which utilize verifiable inputs such as market interest rates that are observable at commonly quoted intervals (generally referred to as the “LIBOR Curve”) for the full terms of the hedge agreements. These values reflect a Level 2 measurement under the applicable fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the amounts of gain (loss) on the interest rate derivative instruments recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI):

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents also include unsettled credit card transactions. Cash equivalents have been comprised of money market funds, which invest primarily in commercial paper or bonds with a rating of A-1 or better, and bank certificates of deposit. The carrying values of the cash equivalents for the periods presented equaled the fair values, which were determined under Level 1 of the Fair Value Hierarchy.

FOREIGN NET REVENUE

Foreign (Canadian) net revenue totaled $41.7 million and $45.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “2014” refer to the three months (first quarter) ended December 31, 2013 of our fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, and all references to “2013” refer to the three months (first quarter) ended December 31, 2012 of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. Certain tabular information may not foot due to rounding and certain reclassifications are made to prior year sales by product line to conform to the current year presentation.

Overview

We are one of the largest distributors of residential and non-residential roofing materials in the United States and Canada. We also distribute other complementary building products, including siding, windows, specialty lumber products and waterproofing systems for residential and non-residential building exteriors. We purchase products from a large number of manufacturers and then distribute these goods to a customer base consisting of contractors and, to a lesser extent, general contractors, retailers and building materials suppliers.

We currently distribute up to 11,000 SKUs through 240 branches in the United States and Canada. We had 2,946 employees as of December 31, 2013.

In fiscal year 2013, approximately 92% of our net sales were in the United States. We stock one of the most extensive assortments of high-quality branded products in the industry, enabling us to deliver products to our customers on a timely basis.

Execution of the operating plan at each of our branches drives our financial results. Revenues are impacted by the relative strength of the residential and non-residential roofing markets we serve. We allow each of our branches to develop its own marketing plan and mix of products based upon its local market. We differentiate ourselves from the competition by providing customer services, including job site delivery, tapered insulation layouts and design and metal fabrication, and by providing credit. We consider customer relations and our employees' knowledge of roofing and exterior building materials to be very important to our ability to increase customer loyalty and maintain customer satisfaction. We invest significant resources in training our employees in sales techniques, management skills and product knowledge. Although we consider these attributes important drivers of our business, we continually pay close attention to controlling operating costs.

Our growth strategy includes both internal growth (opening branches, growing sales with existing customers, adding new customers and introducing new products) and acquisition growth. Our main acquisition strategy is to target market leaders in geographic areas that we do not service or that complement our existing operations in an area. Our November 2012 acquisition of McClure-Johnston is an example of an acquisition that complements our existing markets. McClure-Johnston is a distributor of residential and commercial roofing products and related accessories, headquartered in the Pittsburgh area, and has 14 branches, including eight in Pennsylvania, three in West Virginia, one in Western Maryland and two in Georgia. Our December 2012 acquisition of Ford Wholesale Co., a distributor of residential and commercial roofing and related accessories with three locations in Northern California, is an example of an entry into a new geographic market with no branch overlap with our existing operations.

In managing our business, we consider all growth, including the opening of new branches, to be internal (organic) growth unless it results from an acquisition. When we refer to growth in existing markets or internal growth, we include growth from existing and newly opened branches but exclude growth from acquired branches until they have been under our ownership for at least four full fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal reporting period. When we refer to regions, we are referring to our geographic regions. At December 31, 2013, we had a total of 240 branches in operation. Our existing market calculations includes 221 branches and excludes 19 branches because they were acquired after the start of last year’s first quarter. Acquired markets for 2014 include McClure-Johnston, Ford Wholesale and Construction Materials Supply (See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). When we refer to our net product costs, we are referring to our invoice cost less the impact of short-term buying programs (also referred to as “special buys” given the manner in which they are offered).

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales increased $38.4 million, or 7.5%, to $552.1 million in 2014 from $513.7 million in 2013. Existing market sales increased $16.8 million or 3.3% (the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 both had the same number of business days), while acquired market sales increased $21.6 million to $31.7 million. There were 62 business days in both 2014 and 2013. We believe our 2014 existing market sales were influenced primarily by the following factors:

higher residential roofing activity; and

higher direct sales activity related primarily to commercial roofing;

partially offset by:

lower residential and commercial roofing average selling prices.

We believe some of the comparisons to last year above were also influenced by the earlier onset of wetter weather and colder temperatures in most of our markets compared to last year. Despite challenges posed by the inclement weather during the quarter, we expanded our presence with the opening of four new branches in 2014. Comparatively, we opened one new branch, acquired 19 branches and closed one in last year’s first quarter. We are seeing success with our new branch opening process and believe we will exceed our initial targets and may open as many as 25 additional branches in fiscal 2014.

In 2014, we have estimated the impact of inflation or deflation on our sales and gross profit by looking at changes in our average selling prices and gross margins (discussed below). Average overall selling prices declined slightly in 2014 compared to 2013, with prices of complementary products generally flat. Residential and commercial roofing product prices were down nearly 1%, while complementary product prices were down less than 0.4%. The lower gross margins in 2014 below are an indicator that the deflation in our net product costs was less than the impact from the decrease in our average selling prices. Existing market net sales by geographical region increased (decreased) as follows: Northeast (1.6%); Mid-Atlantic (2.6%); Southeast 20.9%; Southwest (1.4%); Midwest 12.2%; West 14.6%; and Canada (8.2%). These variations were primarily caused by short-term factors such as local market conditions, weather conditions and storm activity.

Product group sales for our existing markets were as follows:

For the Three Months Ended

	December 31, 2013					December 31, 2012
	Sales		Mix			Sales		Mix			Change
Residential roofing products	$	241,309		46.4	%	$	238,049		47.3	%	$	3,260	1.4	%
Non-residential roofing products		207,374		39.8	%		194,547		38.6	%		12,827	6.6
Complementary building products		71,712		13.8	%		71,000		14.1	%		712	1.0
Total existing market sales	$	520,395		100.0	%	$	503,595		100.0	%	$	16,800	3.3	%

For 2014, our acquired markets recognized sales of $10.5, $11.3 and $9.9 million in residential roofing products, non-residential roofing products and complementary building products, respectively, compared to $2.8, $2.4, and $4.9 million in residential roofing products, non-residential roofing products and complementary building products, respectively, in 2013. The 2014 existing market sales of $520.4 million, plus the sales from acquired markets of $31.7 million, agrees to our reported total 2014 sales of $552.1 million. The 2013 existing market sales of $503.6 million, plus the sales from acquired markets of $10.1 million, agrees to our reported total 2013 sales of $513.7 million. We believe the existing market information is useful to investors because it helps explain organic growth or decline.

Gross Profit

For the Three Months Ended

	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			Change
Gross profit	$	126,905		$	126,754		$	151			0.1	%
Existing markets		119,659			124,271			(4,612)			-3.7	%

Gross margin		23.0	%		24.7	%			-1.7	%
Existing markets		23.0	%		24.7	%			-1.7	%

Our existing market gross profit decreased $4.6 million or 3.7% in 2014, while our acquired market gross profit increased by $4.8 million to $7.2 million. Our overall and existing market gross margins decreased in 2014 to 23.0% from 24.7% in 2013. The lower gross margins in 2014 were due primarily to pricing pressure across all product categories, cost increases in our complementary products and, in the total sales, an increase in our mix of direct non-residential product sales, which generally have lower gross margins than our other products.

Direct sales (products shipped by our vendors directly to our customers), which typically have substantially lower gross margins (and operating expenses) compared to our warehouse sales, represented 18.4% and 15.1% of our net sales in 2014 and 2013, respectively. This increase in the percentage of direct sales was primarily attributable to the higher mix of non-residential roofing product sales, which are more commonly facilitated by direct shipment. There were no material regional impacts from changes in the direct sales mix of our geographical regions.

Operating Expenses

For the Three Months Ended

	December 31, 2013			December 31, 2012			Change
Operating expenses	$	99,818		$	94,505		$	5,313			5.6	%
Existing markets		92,310			91,178			1,132			1.2	%

Operating expenses as a % of sales		18.1	%		18.4	%			-0.3	%
Existing markets		17.7	%		18.1	%			-0.4	%

Operating expenses in our existing market increased by $1.1 million or 1.2% in 2014 to $92.3 million, as compared to $91.2 million in 2013, while our acquired market expenses increased by $4.2 million to $7.5 million. The following factors were the leading causes of the increased operating expenses in our existing markets:

increased payroll and employee benefit costs of $2.0 million; partially offset by:

decreased bad debt expense of $0.7 million due primarily to a lower percentage of past-due accounts; and

lower general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million.

In 2014, we expensed a total of $3.6 million for the amortization of intangible assets recorded under purchase accounting compared to $3.1 million in 2013. That increase was due to the impact of the acquisitions in 2013 that are included in our acquired markets. Our existing market operating expenses as a percentage of the related net sales in 2014 was 17.7% compared to 18.1% due to cost control initiatives and an increase in existing market sales.

Interest Expense, Financing Costs and Other

Interest expense, financing costs and other was $2.7 million in 2014 compared to $1.9 million in 2013. This year’s interest expense includes $0.3 million of expense related to the amortization of deferred financing costs. Interest expense in 2013 reflected a credit of $1.3 million for the recognition of the fair value of certain interest rate derivatives (Note 7) and expense of $0.3 million resulting from the amortization of deferred financing costs.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $9.5 million in 2014, compared to $12.1 million in 2013. The decrease was due to a reduction in our effective tax rate to 38.8% in 2014, compared to 40.0% in 2013, due primarily to a beneficial impact from the low Canadian tax rate, a slightly lower effective state tax rate and no discrete items in 2014. We currently expect our annual tax rate to be approximately 39%.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

In general, sales and net income are highest during our first, third and fourth fiscal quarters, which represent the peak months of construction and re-roofing, especially in our branches in the northern and mid-western U.S. and in Canada. We have historically incurred low net income levels or net losses during the second quarter when our sales are substantially lower.

We generally experience an increase in inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable during the third and fourth quarters of the year as a result of the seasonality of our business. Our peak cash usage generally occurs during the third quarter, primarily because accounts payable terms offered by our suppliers typically have due dates in April, May and June, while our peak accounts receivable collections typically occur from June through November.

We generally experience a slowing of our accounts receivable collections during our second quarter, mainly due to the inability of some of our customers to conduct their businesses effectively in inclement weather in certain of our divisions. We continue to attempt to collect those receivables, which require payment under our standard terms. We do not provide material concessions to our customers during this quarter of the year.

Our vendors are also affected by the seasonality in the industry and are more likely to provide seasonal incentives in our second quarter as a result of the lower level of roofing activity. We generally experience our peak working capital needs during the third quarter after we build our inventories following the winter season but before we begin collecting on most of our spring receivables.

Certain Quarterly Financial Data

The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly data for fiscal year 2014 (ending September 30, 2014) and fiscal year 2013 which, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of this data. Results of any one or more quarters are not necessarily indicative of results for an entire fiscal year or of continuing trends. Totals may not total due to rounding.

Earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 included no one-time or non-recurring activities.

Earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included a benefit of $1.3 million ($0.8 million net of tax), or $0.02 per diluted share, for the recognition of the fair value of the ineffective portion of certain interest rate derivatives in interest expense, financing costs and other and a charge of $0.9 million ($0.5 million net of tax), or $0.01 per diluted shares, for termination benefits associated with the retirement of our former CFO.

Earnings in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 included a benefit of $1.2 million ($0.8 million net of tax), or $0.02 per diluted share, for the recognition of the fair value of the ineffective portion of certain interest rate derivatives in interest expense, financing costs and other.

Earnings in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 included a charge of $0.1 million ($0.1 million net of tax), or $0.00 per diluted share, associated with the termination benefits of certain employees.

Earnings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 included a charge of $0.3 million ($0.2 million net of tax), or $0.00 per diluted share, associated with the termination benefits of certain employees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash and cash equivalents of $56.4 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $47.0 million at September 30, 2013. Our net working capital was $417.7 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $391.3 million at September 30, 2013.

2014 Compared to 2013

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $54.2 million in 2014 compared to $47.3 million provided in 2013. This increase in cash from operations was primarily due to a larger benefit from working capital changes in 2014 compared to 2013. The 2014 changes in working capital consisted of the positive impacts from a decrease in accounts receivable of $85.0 million and a $36.9 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by the negative impacts from an increase in inventories of $58.0 million and a $35.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding (calculated based on the ending accounts receivable balance and the most recent quarter’s sales) decreased slightly compared to last year, mainly due to a favorable impact on the calculation from the very strong first quarter sales and focused collections during the quarter. Inventory turns slowed slightly compared to 2013 as a result of higher on-hand inventory levels. We increased our purchases in December 2013 from several of our major suppliers to take advantage of incentive programs that are based on calendar year purchases. The increase in prepaid expenses and other assets was primarily due to higher amounts due from vendors for the related incentive programs, which resulted from the higher level of purchases during the quarter, including an increased level of special buys. In connection with these purchases during the first quarter of 2014, we also realized increases in our accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2013.

	16

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.1 million in 2014 compared to $67.3 million used in 2013. During the first quarter of 2013, we spent $64.5 million on acquisitions. Capital expenditures were $5.4 million in 2014 compared to $3.1 million in 2013. We currently expect fiscal year 2014 capital expenditures to total between 1.0% to 1.5% of net sales, mostly dependent upon our sales volume and the impact of branch openings related to our Greenfield development activities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $39.9 million in 2014 compared to net cash provided of $14.0 million in 2013. In 2014, there were $47.4 million of repayments under the revolving lines of credit as well as $2.8 million of scheduled quarterly repayment under the Term Loan. Additionally, we also financed $6.2 million worth of equipment purchases under our equipment financing facility during the quarter. In 2013, there were $3.8 million of loan repayments and we borrowed $6.1 million under our revolving lines of credit. We also had $4.0 million and $9.9 million of proceeds from exercises of stock options in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity at December 31, 2013 was our cash and cash equivalents of $56.4 million and our available borrowings of $332.1 million under our revolving lines of credit, which took into account all of the debt covenants under the Credit Facility (see below), including the maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio. Borrowings outstanding under the revolving lines of credit in the accompanying balance sheets were classified as short-term debt since there were no current expectations of a minimum level of outstanding revolver borrowings in the following twelve months.

Liquidity is defined as the current amount of readily available cash and the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the current needs for cash. We assess our liquidity in terms of our cash and cash equivalents on hand and the ability to generate cash to fund our operating activities, taking into consideration the seasonal nature of our business.

Significant factors which could affect future liquidity include the following:

the adequacy of available bank lines of credit;

· the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms;

cash flows generated from operating activities;

acquisitions; and

capital expenditures.

Our primary capital needs are for working capital obligations and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of working capital are cash from operations and cash equivalents supplemented by bank borrowings. In the past, we have financed larger acquisitions initially through increased bank borrowings and the issuance of common stock. We then repay any such borrowings with cash flows from operations. We have funded most of our past capital expenditures with cash on hand or through increased bank borrowings, including equipment financing, and then have reduced those obligations with cash flows from operations.

We believe we have adequate current liquidity and availability of capital to fund our present operations, meet our commitments on our existing debt and fund anticipated growth, including expansion in existing and targeted market areas. We seek potential acquisitions from time to time and hold discussions with certain acquisition candidates. If suitable acquisition opportunities or working capital needs arise that would require additional financing, we believe that our financial position and earnings history provide a sufficient base for obtaining additional financing resources at reasonable rates and terms, as we have in the past. We may also issue additional shares of common stock to raise funds, which we last did in December 2005, or we may issue preferred stock.

Indebtedness

We currently have the following credit facilities:

a senior secured credit facility in the United States

a Canadian senior secured credit facility; and

an equipment financing facility.

	17

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On April 5, 2012, we entered into a five-year senior secured credit facility that includes a $550 million U.S. credit facility and a CAN$15 million ($14.1 million) Canadian credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and a syndicate of other lenders (combined, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The $550 million U.S. credit facility consists of a revolving credit facility of $325 million (the “U.S. Revolver”), which includes a sub-facility of $20 million for letters of credit, and a $225 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan has required amortization of 5% per year that is payable in quarterly installments, with the balance due on June 30, 2017. We may increase the Credit Facility by up to $200 million under certain conditions. At December 31, 2013, there was $205.3 million outstanding under the Term Loan and no outstanding borrowings under the U.S. Revolver or the Canadian Credit Facility. There were $7.0 million of outstanding standby letters of credit at December 31, 2013.

Interest

Borrowings under the Credit Facility carry interest at a margin above the LIBOR Rate. The margin is 1.75% per annum and can range from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum depending upon our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility also provides for a U.S. base rate, defined in the agreement as the higher of the Prime Rate, or the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, plus a margin above that rate. In addition, the Canadian credit facility may also be borrowed under a base rate, defined in the agreement as the higher of the Canadian Prime Rate, or the annual rate of interest equal to the sum of the CDOR rate plus 1.0%, plus a margin above that rate. The margin for both base rates is 0.75% per annum and can range from .50% to 1.50% per annum depending upon our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility. Initial unused commitment fees on the revolving credit facilities are 0.375% per annum. The unused commitment fees can range from 0.35% to 0.50% per annum, again depending upon our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.

Our outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan carried an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% (1.92% at December 31, 2013).

Financial covenants under the Credit Facility are as follows:

Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio

On the last day of each fiscal quarter, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (the ratio of our outstanding debt to our trailing twelve-month earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation), as more fully defined in the Credit Facility, must not be greater than 3.50:1 or 4.00:1 under a one-time request subsequent to an acquisition. At December 31, 2013, this ratio was 1.42:1.

Minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio

On the last day of each fiscal quarter, our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (the ratio of our trailing twelve-month earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation to our cash interest expense for the same period), as more fully defined in the Credit Facility, must not be less than 3.00:1. At December 31, 2013, this ratio was 16.73:1.

As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants. Substantially all of our assets, including the capital stock and assets of wholly-owned subsidiaries, secure obligations under the Credit Facility.

Equipment Financing Facilities

As of December 31, 2013, there was a total of $17.0 million outstanding under prior equipment financing facilities, with fixed interest rates ranging from 2.33% to 6.75% and payments due through December 2020. The Company’s current facility provides financing for up to $30 million of purchased transportation and material handling equipment through October 1, 2014 at an interest rate approximately 1.26% above the 3-year term swap rate for 5-year loans and 1.21% above the 4-year swap rate for 7-year loans.

Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that as of December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Based on the most recent evaluation, we have concluded that no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
