Company Overview

Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 22, 1997 and is the largest publicly traded distributor of residential and non-residential roofing materials and complementary building products in the United States and Canada. The Company operates its business under regional and local trade names and services customers in 47 states within the United States and 6 provinces in Canada. The Company’s current material subsidiaries are Beacon Sales Acquisition, Inc., Beacon Canada, Inc. and Beacon Roofing Supply Canada Company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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, 2015 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 ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending September 30, 2017 (fiscal year 2017 or “2017”).

The three-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 had 61 and 62 business days, respectively.

These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in the Company’s fiscal year 2016 (“2016”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates include inventories, purchase price allocations, recoverability of goodwill and intangibles, and income taxes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements- Adopted

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability, consistent with the required presentation for debt discounts. This update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, an entity must apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company elected to early adopt this new guidance effective October 1, 2015. The adoption of this standard changed the Company’s previous practice of presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and resulted in the reduction of total assets and total liabilities in an amount equal to the balance of unamortized debt issuance costs at each balance sheet date presented. Debt issuance costs that are now presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability amounted to $24.1 million as of December 31, 2016, $25.2 million as of September 30, 2016, and $30.0 million as of December 31, 2015.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” This guidance eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments related to business combinations. It requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment, including the impact on prior periods, be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. In addition, the portion of the adjustment recorded in the current period that would have been recognized in prior periods had the adjustment been identified at that time must be presented, by line item, either on the face of the income statement or in the accompanying notes. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this new guidance effective January 1, 2016 and the impact on the financial statements through the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was immaterial.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." This guidance requires entities to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, and early adoption is permitted. Entities are permitted to apply this guidance either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted the guidance as of March 31, 2016 and applied it retrospectively to all prior periods. As a result, the Company reclassified its current deferred tax balances of $31.9 million to non-current deferred taxes as of September 30, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements- Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This guidance applies to inventory valued at first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost and requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company reports inventory on an average-cost basis and thus will be required to adopt the standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” The ASU will replace most existing accounting for lease guidance when it becomes effective. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on October 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The standard must be adopted using the modified retrospective approach. The standard will require the Company to record a right to use asset and a lease liability for most of the Company’s leases including the Company’s leases currently treated as operating leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The provisions of this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The provisions of this standard contain specific transition guidance for each amendment. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU is intended to introduce a revised approach to the recognition and measurement of credit losses, emphasizing an updated model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The provisions of this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Acquisitions

Roofing Supply Group

On October 1, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Roofing Supply Group, LLC ("RSG”), a leading roofing products distributor owned by investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice ("CD&R"). RSG’s results of operations have been included with Company’s consolidated results beginning October 1, 2015. RSG distributed roofing supplies and related materials from 85 locations across 25 states as of October 1, 2015.

Total consideration paid for RSG was approximately $1.17 billion, out of which $288.2 million was in cash, $306.8 million of Company’s common stock and option replacement awards, and $574.4 million in refinancing of RSG’s debt. The RSG long-term debt was repaid simultaneously with the proceeds of a new ABL Revolver, Term Loan and Senior Notes (see Note 8).

In connection with the RSG acquisition, the Company was required to issue equity awards to certain RSG employees in replacement of RSG equity awards that were cancelled at closing. The replacement awards consisted of options to purchase 661,349 shares of the Company’s common stock. The terms and fair value of these awards approximated the cancelled RSG awards on the issuance date. The fair value of the replacement awards associated with services rendered through the date of the RSG acquisition was recognized as a component of the total acquisition consideration, and the remaining fair value of the replaced awards associated with post RSG acquisition services will be recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period.

The RSG acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the requirements of ASC 805 Business Combinations. The acquisition price has been allocated among assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value based on information currently available, with the excess recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of RSG. These come from the synergies that are obtained in operating the branches as part of a larger network, and from an experienced employee base skilled at managing a distribution business. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had finalized the acquisition accounting entries for the RSG acquisition, detailed as follows (in thousands):

Cash	$	16,451
Accounts receivable		177,251
Inventory		179,651
Other current assets		50,000
Property, plant, and equipment		55,159
Other intangible assets		382,600
Goodwill		617,477
Current liabilities		(252,190	)
Non-current liabilities		(56,949	)
Total purchase price	$	1,169,450

RSG’s future growth attributable to new customers, geographic market presence and assembled workforce are additional assets that are not separable and which contributed to recorded goodwill, of which $86.1 million was tax deductible as of the October 1, 2015 RSG acquisition date. All of the Company’s goodwill plus the indefinite-lived trade name are tested for impairment annually, and all acquired goodwill and intangible assets are subject to review for impairment should future indicators of impairment develop. The fair value of acquired RSG accounts receivables was $177.3 million, with the gross contractual amount being $185.9 million.

Other Acquisitions – Fiscal Year 2017

On December 16, 2016, the Company purchased certain assets of BJ Supply Company, a distributor of roofing and related building products with 1 branch serving Pennsylvania and New Jersey and annual sales of approximately $4 million.

Other Acquisitions – Fiscal Year 2016

During fiscal year 2016, the Company acquired 42 branches from the following seven additional acquisitions:

On December 1, 2015, the Company purchased certain assets of RCI Roofing Supply, a distributor of residential and commercial roofing and related products with 5 branches operating in Nebraska, Iowa and Colorado and annual sales of approximately $23 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had finalized the acquisition accounting entries for this acquisition.

On December 18, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Roofing and Insulation Supply, a distributor primarily of residential and commercial insulation along with roofing and related products with 20 branches spanning 13 states operating across New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, the Upper Midwest, Texas and Colorado and annual sales of approximately $70 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had finalized the acquisition accounting entries for this acquisition.

On December 29, 2015, the Company purchased certain assets of Statewide Wholesale, a distributor of residential and commercial roofing and related products with 1 branch located in Denver, Colorado and annual sales of approximately $15 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had finalized the acquisition accounting entries for this acquisition.

On April 1, 2016, the Company purchased certain assets of Atlantic Building Products, a distributor of decking, windows, siding, and related products with 2 branches operating in eastern Pennsylvania and annual sales of approximately $5 million.

On April 1, 2016, the Company purchased certain assets of Lyf-Tym Building Products, a distributor of siding, windows, gutters, vinyl railings, and related products with 6 branches operating in North Carolina and Virginia and annual sales of approximately $20 million.

On May 2, 2016, the Company purchased certain assets of Fox Brothers Company, a distributor of roofing, siding, windows, doors, and related products with 4 branches operating in Michigan and annual sales of approximately $35 million.

On June 1, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Woodfeathers, Inc., a distributor of primarily residential roofing and related products with 4 branches operating in Oregon and Washington and annual sales of approximately $30 million.

The Company recorded the acquired assets and liabilities related to these transactions at their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates, with resulting goodwill of $84.8 million ($59.8 million of which is deductible for tax purposes) and $60.8 million in intangible assets associated with these other acquisitions as of December 31, 2016.

Other Acquisitions – Additional Information

For those acquisitions where the acquisition accounting entries have yet to be finalized, the Company’s allocation of the purchase price is subject to change on receipt of additional information, including, but not limited to, the finalization of asset valuations (intangible and fixed) and income tax accounting.

The Company has not provided pro forma results of operations for any acquisitions in fiscal years 2017 or 2016 herein, as the Company included the results of operations of each acquisition in its consolidated statement of income from the date of each acquisition.

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,
	2016		2015

Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic		59,943,264		58,972,913
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options		649,644		748,678
Restricted stock units		400,172		240,442
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, diluted		60,993,080		59,962,033

The following table includes the number of shares that may be dilutive common shares in the future. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect was either anti-dilutive or the requisite performance conditions were not met.

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2016		2015
Stock options		561,741		679,995
Restricted stock units		247,559		88,407

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of certain gains and losses that are excluded from net income under GAAP and instead recorded as a separate element of stockholders’ equity.

6. Stock-based Compensation

On February 9, 2016, the shareholders of the Company approved the Amended and Restated Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. 2014 Stock Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan provides for discretionary awards of stock options, stock awards, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) for up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock to selected employees and non-employee directors. The 2014 Plan mandates that all forfeited, expired, and withheld shares, including those from the predecessor plans, be returned to the 2014 Plan and made available for issuance. As of December 31, 2016, there were 4,187,115 shares of common stock available for issuance.

Prior to the 2014 Plan, the Company maintained the amended and restated Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. 2004 Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”). Upon shareholder approval of the 2014 Plan, the Company ceased issuing equity awards from the 2004 Plan and mandated that all future equity awards will be issued from the 2014 Plan.

For all equity awards granted prior to October 1, 2014, in the event of a change in control of the Company, all awards are immediately vested. Beginning in fiscal 2015, equity awards contain a “double trigger” change in control mechanism. Unless an award is continued or assumed by a public company in an equitable manner, an award shall become fully vested immediately prior to a change in control (at 100% in the case of a performance-based restricted stock award). If an award is so continued or assumed, vesting will continue in accordance with the terms of the award, unless there is a qualifying termination within one-year following the change in control, in which event the award shall become fully vested immediately (at 100% in the case of a performance-based restricted stock award).

Stock Options

Non-qualified stock options generally expire 10 years after the grant date and, 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 fair values of the options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2016 were estimated on the dates of grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate	1.97	%
Expected volatility	28.83	%
Expected life (in years)	5.30
Dividend yield	—

The following table summarizes all stock option activity for the period presented (in thousands, except share, per share, and time period amounts):

During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $1.3 million and $6.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there was $5.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Total fair value of stock options vested		4,884		10,091
Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised		2,750		6,970

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards granted to employees are subject to continued employment and generally vest after three years. The Company also grants certain RSU awards to management that contain an additional vesting condition tied directly to a defined performance metric for the Company. The actual number of RSUs that will vest can range from 0% to 150% of the grant, depending upon actual Company performance below or above the target level. The Company estimates performance in relation to the established target when determining the projected number of RSUs that will vest and calculating the compensation cost related to these awards.

RSUs granted to non-employee directors are subject to continued service and vest after one year (except under certain conditions). Generally, the common shares underlying the RSUs are not eligible for distribution until the director’s service on the Board has terminated. For non-employee director RSU grants made prior to fiscal year 2014, the share distribution date is six months after the director’s termination of service on the board. Beginning in fiscal year 2016, non-employee directors holding common stock and outstanding vested unexercised/unsettled equity awards with a fair value that is greater than or equal to five times the annual cash retainer may elect to have future grants settle simultaneously with vesting.

The following table summarizes all restricted stock unit activity for the period presented:

	RSUs Outstanding			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $2.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there was $19.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

Financing Arrangements

In connection with the RSG Acquisition on October 1, 2015, the Company entered into various financing arrangements totaling $1.45 billion. A “Senior Secured Credit Facility” was entered into that is comprised of an asset-based revolving line of credit facility (“ABL” or “ABL Facility”) of $700.0 million ($350.0 million of which was drawn at closing) and a new $450.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan” or “Term Loan Facility”). The Company also issued $300.0 million of Senior Notes.

Asset-based Line of Credit Facility (“ABL Facility”)

On October 1, 2015, the Company entered into a $700 million ABL Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of other lenders. This ABL Facility consists of revolving loans in both the United States (“U.S. Revolver”) in the amount of $670 million and Canada (“Canada Revolver”) in the amount of $30 million. The ABL Facility has a maturity date of October 1, 2020. The U.S. Revolver has various tranches of borrowings, bearing interest at rates ranging from 2.02% to 4.00%. The effective rate of these borrowings is 3.13% and is paid monthly. As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance on the U.S. Revolver and Canada Revolvers, net of debt issuance fees, was $332.7 million. The U.S. Revolver also has outstanding standby letters of credit in the amount of $12.6 million as of December 31, 2016. Current unused commitment fees on the revolving credit facilities are 0.25% per annum.

There is one financial covenant under the ABL Facility, which is a Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio. As defined in the ABL Facility, the Company’s Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio must be a minimum of 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter, calculated on a trailing four quarter basis. The covenant is only applicable when the borrowing availability is less than 10% of the maximum loan cap or $60 million. The ABL Facility is guaranteed jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally by the Company’s active United States subsidiary.

Term Loan

On October 1, 2015, the Company entered into a $450.0 million Term Loan Facility with Citibank N.A., and a syndicate of other lenders. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1.1 million, with the remaining outstanding principal to be paid on its maturity date of October 1, 2022. The interest rate paid is based on a LIBOR rate (with a floor) plus a fixed spread. The Company has the option of selecting a LIBOR period that determines the rate at which interest can accrue on the Term Loan as well as the period in which interest payments are made.

On September 16, 2016, the Company refinanced its Term Loan, lowering the LIBOR floor by 25 basis points and lowering the spread by 25 basis points. As a result of the refinancing, the Company wrote off $1.6 million of debt issuance costs in interest expense. As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan, net of debt issuance fees, was $435.6 million. The Term Loan is guaranteed jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally by the Company’s active United States subsidiary.

Senior Notes

The Company also raised $300.0 million by issuing 8 year senior notes due 2023 (the “Senior Notes”), having a coupon rate of 6.38% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears beginning April 1, 2016. There are early payment provisions in the Senior Note indenture in which the Company would be subject to “make whole” provisions. Management anticipates repaying the notes at the maturity date of October 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2016 the outstanding balance on the Senior Notes, net of debt issuance fees, was $291.4 million. The Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally by the Company’s active United States subsidiary.

Other Information

The proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Senior Notes were used to provide working capital and funds for other general corporate purposes, to refinance or otherwise extinguish all third-party indebtedness for borrowed money under Company’s and RSG’s existing senior secured credit facilities and RSG’s unsecured senior notes due 2020, to finance the acquisition, and to pay fees and expenses associated with the RSG acquisition. The Company incurred financing costs totaling approximately $31.3 million.

The Senior Credit Facility and the previous Term Loan financing arrangements had certain lenders who participated in both arrangements, therefore management accounted for a portion of this transaction as a debt modification and a portion as a debt extinguishment. In accordance with the accounting for debt modification, the Company expensed $2.2 million of direct issuance costs incurred and will amortize the previously capitalized issuance costs over the term of the Senior Credit Facility. The remainder of the settlement of the Company’s previous financing arrangements was accounted for as debt extinguishment, for which the Company recognized a loss of $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016.

Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company mostly operates in leased facilities, which are accounted for as operating leases. The leases typically provide for a base rent plus real estate taxes. Certain of the leases provide for escalating rents over the lives of the leases and rent expense is recognized over the terms of those leases on a straight-line basis.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, rent expense was $14.2 million and $16.1 million, respectively. Sublet income was immaterial for each of these periods.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations; however, the Company is not aware of any reasonably possible losses that would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. Potential loss contingencies include possible obligations to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal or release of certain chemical or other substances by the Company or by other parties. In connection with its acquisitions, the Company’s practice is to request indemnification for any and all known material liabilities of significance as of the respective dates of acquisition. Historically, environmental liabilities have not had a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

The Company is subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business; however the Company does not expect the results, if any, to have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Fair Value Measurement

As of December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures its cash equivalents at amortized cost, which approximates fair value based upon quoted market prices (Level 1). Based upon recent trading prices (Level 2 — market approach) as of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s $300.0 million Senior Notes was $320.6 million. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility approximated the amount outstanding. The Company estimates the fair value of its Senior Secured Credit Facility by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using estimated market rates of debt instruments with similar maturities and credit profiles (Level 3).

12.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

All of the Senior Notes issued on October 1, 2015 are guaranteed jointly and severally by all of the United States subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Guarantors”), and not by the Canadian subsidiaries of the Company. Such guarantees are full and unconditional. Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information of the Company, including such information for the Guarantors, is presented below. The information is presented in accordance with the requirements of Rule 3-10 under the SEC’s Regulation S-X. The financial information may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations, cash flows or financial position had the non-guarantor subsidiaries operated as independent entities. Investments in subsidiaries are presented using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not provided as the consolidating financial information contained herein provides a more meaningful disclosure to allow investors to determine the nature of the assets held by, and the operations of, the combined groups.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this document. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “2017” refer to the three month period ended December 31, 2016 being discussed and references to “2016” refer to the three month period ended December 31, 2015 being discussed. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by law.

Overview

We are the largest publicly traded distributor of residential and non-residential roofing materials in the United States and Canada. We also distribute complementary building products, including siding, windows, specialty exterior building products, insulation, and waterproofing systems for residential and non-residential building exteriors. We are among the oldest and most established distributors in the industry. 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.

As of December 31, 2016, we operated 365 branches in 47 states throughout the United States and 6 provinces in Canada. We stock one of the most extensive assortments of high quality branded products in the industry, with over 46,000 SKUs available across our branch network, enabling us to deliver products to serve nearly 67,000 customers on a timely basis. For 2016, approximately 96% of our net sales came from customers located in the United States.

Effective execution of both the sales and operating plans enables us to grow beyond the relative strength of the residential and non-residential roofing markets we serve. Our business model is a bottom-up approach, where each of our branches uses its regional knowledge and experience to assist with the development of a marketing plan and stocking a product mix that is best suited for its respective market. Local alignment with overall strategic goals provides the foundation for significant ownership of results at the branch level.

Our distinctive operational model combined with significant branch level autonomy differentiates us from the competition. We provide our customers with value-added services, including, but not limited to, job site delivery, custom designed tapered roofing systems, metal fabrication, and trade credit. We consider customer relations and our employees' knowledge of roofing and exterior building materials to be vital to our ability to increase customer loyalty and maintain customer satisfaction. Our customers’ business success can be enhanced when they are supported by our efficient and effective distribution network. We invest significant resources in professional development, management skills, product knowledge and operational proficiency. We pride ourselves on providing these capabilities developed on a foundation of continuous improvement driving service excellence, productivity and efficiencies.

We seek opportunities to expand our business operations through both acquisitions and organic growth (by opening branches, growing sales with existing customers, adding new customers and introducing new products). Our main acquisition strategy is to target market leaders who do business in geographic areas that we currently do not service or that complement our existing regional operations. The following highlights our recent success in delivering on our growth strategy:

Acquisition Growth:

On October 1, 2015, we completed our acquisition of Roofing Supply Group ("RSG"), a leading roofing products distributor, in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $1.17 billion. Completion of the RSG acquisition strengthened our position as the largest publicly traded roofing materials and related products distributor in the U.S., with approximately $3.71 billion in combined pro forma net sales at the time of the acquisition. The RSG Acquisition has provided us the opportunity to create a stronger roofing distribution company built upon the foundation of two strong, growing distribution platforms with an extensive national footprint and continued growth potential. On the date of the acquisition, RSG operated 85 branches across 25 states, with 300 to 2,200 SKUs per branch. This acquisition has allowed us to expand our product offerings and increase our cross selling opportunities while maintaining our standards for exceptional customer service and roofing expertise.

We finalized seven additional strategic acquisitions in fiscal year 2016, acquiring 42 branches that significantly enhanced our geographic footprint, particularly in the Southern, Western, and Pacific Northwest regions of the United States:

On December 1, 2015, we purchased certain assets of RCI Roofing Supply, a distributor of residential and commercial roofing and related products with 5 branches operating in Nebraska, Iowa and Colorado and annual sales of approximately $23 million.

On December 18, 2015, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Roofing and Insulation Supply, a distributor primarily of residential and commercial insulation along with roofing and related products with 20 branches spanning 13 states operating across New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, the Upper Midwest, Texas and Colorado and annual sales of approximately $70 million.

On December 29, 2015, we purchased certain assets of Statewide Wholesale, a distributor of residential and commercial roofing and related products with 1 branch located in Denver, Colorado and annual sales of approximately $15 million.

On April 1, 2016, we purchased certain assets of Atlantic Building Products, a distributor of decking, windows, siding, and related products with 2 branches operating in eastern Pennsylvania and annual sales of approximately $5 million.

On April 1, 2016, we purchased certain assets of Lyf-Tym Building Products, a distributor of siding, windows, gutters, vinyl railings, and related products with 6 branches operating in North Carolina and Virginia and annual sales of approximately $20 million.

On May 2, 2016, we purchased certain assets of Fox Brothers Company, a distributor of roofing, siding, windows, doors, and related products with 4 branches operating in Michigan and annual sales of approximately $35 million.

On June 1, 2016, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Woodfeathers, Inc., a distributor of primarily residential roofing and related products with 4 branches operating in Oregon and Washington and annual sales of approximately $30 million.

In managing our business, we consider all growth, including the opening of new branches, to be organic growth unless it results from an acquisition. When we refer to growth in existing markets or organic 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.

As of December 31, 2016, we had a total of 365 branches in operation. Our existing market calculations include 323 branches and exclude 42 branches because they were acquired after the start of the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. 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).

The following table presents a summary of our results of operations for the periods presented, broken down by existing markets and acquired markets:

Consolidated net sales increased $25.7 million, or 2.6%, to $1.00 billion in 2017 from $976.5 million in 2016. Existing market sales decreased $18.4 million, or 1.9% over the same comparative period. We believe the decrease in our 2017 existing market sales was influenced primarily by the following factors:

unfavorable weather conditions, primarily affecting overall demand in our West region and commercial product demand in our Midwest, Northeast and Southeast regions;

lower average selling prices; and

one less selling day;

partially offset by:

increased residential product demand

higher re-roofing demand tied to Spring 2016 storm activity across the Southwest region

Net sales within our acquired markets were $47.1 million in 2017, a significant increase from 2016 due to the sales impact from the acquisitions completed during 2016. In 2016, we acquired a total of 111 branches and closed 29 branches. Closures were primarily a result of facility consolidations due to the acquisitions.

We estimate 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 in existing markets declined 1-2% in 2017 compared to 2016, driven primarily by declines in residential and non-residential selling prices which were both down approximately 1-2% year-over-year. The average selling prices of complementary products decreased less than 1% year-over-year. During the same period, net product costs for complementary products remained relatively flat, while residential and non-residential net product costs decreased approximately 1-2% year-over-year. In 2017, we continue to experience an overall increase in gross margins due to a shift in sales mix to higher-margin residential products.

Existing markets net sales by geographical region increased (decreased) from 2016 to 2017 as follows: Northeast (12.0)%; Mid-Atlantic 6.0%; Southeast 3.0%; Southwest 14.1%; Midwest (2.2)%; West (25.6)%; and Canada (7.1)%. 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:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2016					2015					Change
	Net Sales		%			Net Sales		%			$			%
	(Dollars in thousands)

Residential roofing products	$	516,721		54.1	%	$	493,054		50.6	%	$	23,667			4.8	%
Non-residential roofing products		310,452		32.5	%		348,257		35.8	%		(37,805	)		-10.9	%
Complementary building products		127,930		13.4	%		132,205		13.6	%		(4,275	)		-3.2	%
Total existing market sales	$	955,103		100.0	%	$	973,516		100.0	%	$	(18,413	)		-1.9	%

For 2017, our acquired markets recognized sales of $12.7 million, $1.4 million and $33.0 million in residential roofing products, non-residential roofing products and complementary building products, respectively. The combination of our 2017 existing market sales of $955.1 million plus the sales from acquired markets of $47.1 million equals our total 2017 sales of $1.00 billion. We believe the existing market information is useful to investors because it helps explain organic growth or decline.

Gross Profit

Gross profit and gross margin for our consolidated and existing markets were as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Change¹
	2016			2015			$		%
	(Dollars in thousands)

Gross profit - consolidated	$	251,067		$	233,188		$	17,879		7.7	%

Gross margin - existing markets		24.8	%		23.9	%		N/A		0.9	%

¹ Percentage changes for dollar amounts represents the ratable increase or decrease from period-to-period. Percentage changes for percentages represent the net period-to-period change in basis points

Our existing market gross profit increased $4.8 million, or 2.1%, to $237.3 million in 2017, and gross profit within our acquired markets was $13.8 million for the same period. Our overall gross margins improved to 25.1% in 2017, mainly due to a favorable shift in sales mix to residential products. Gross margins within our existing markets for 2017 increased to 24.8%.

Direct sales (products shipped by our vendors directly to our customers), which typically have substantially lower gross margins (and operating expense) compared to our warehouse sales, represented 14.1% and 15.0% of our net sales in 2017 and 2016, respectively. We believe variations in direct sales activity to be primarily caused by short-term factors such as local market conditions, weather conditions and storm activity. None of these variations were driven by material regional impacts from changes in the direct sales mix of our geographical regions.

Operating Expense

Operating expense for consolidated and existing markets was as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Change¹
	2016			2015			$			%
	(Dollars in thousands)

Operating expense - consolidated	$	204,110		$	206,344		$	(2,234	)		-1.1	%
Operating expense - existing markets		191,075			205,471			(14,396	)		-7.0	%
Operating expense - acquired markets		13,035			873

Operating expense as a % of net sales - consolidated		20.4	%		21.1	%		N/A			-0.7	%
Operating expense as a % of net sales - existing markets		20.0	%		21.1	%		N/A			-1.1	%

Operating expense in our existing markets decreased by $14.4 million, or 7.0% in 2017, to $191.1 million, as compared to $205.5 million in 2015, while operating expense within our acquired markets was $13.0 million in 2017. The following factors were the leading causes of the decrease in operating expense in our existing markets:

a decrease in payroll, employee benefits costs, and stock compensation expense of $10.9 million due to additional compensation costs recognized in 2016 as a result of the RSG acquisition; and

a decrease in general and administrative, selling, warehouse and other expenses of $4.2 million due to the continued realization of cost synergies and consolidation of certain branches related to recent acquisitions.

partially offset by:

an increase in depreciation and amortization of $1.5 million due to the increase in intangible assets stemming from our fiscal year 2016 acquisitions

During 2017 and 2016, we recorded amortization expense related to the intangible assets recorded under purchase accounting within our existing markets of $17.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively. Our existing markets operating expense as a percentage of the related net sales in 2017 was 20.0%, compared to 21.1% in 2016.

Interest Expense, Financing Costs and Other

Interest expense, financing costs and other expense was $13.6 million in 2017, as compared to $16.3 million in 2016. The primary driver of the decrease is a lower interest rate from the September 2016 refinancing of our Term Loan and the decrease in outstanding debt as a result of recent principal payments.

Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes was $13.0 million in 2017, as compared to $3.5 million in 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $22.8 million increase in pre-tax net income for the comparative periods.

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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), specifically:

	·	Adjusted Net Income/Adjusted EPS
	·	Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income that excludes all non-recurring costs and the incremental amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2016 and 2017. Adjusted net income per share (“Adjusted EPS”) is calculated by dividing the Adjusted Net Income for the period by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the period.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjustments to contingent consideration, stock-based compensation and non-recurring acquisition costs from acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2016 and 2017. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in the distribution industry.

We use these supplemental measures to evaluate performance period over period and to analyze the underlying trends in our business and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. We expect to compute our non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year.

We feel these measures are useful because they allow investors to better understand year-over-year changes in underlying operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures and capital investment cycles among otherwise comparable companies. Further, we believe these measures are useful to investors because they improve comparability of results of operations since they eliminate the impact of purchase accounting adjustments that can render operating results non-comparable between periods.

While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider any of these measures as a substitute alongside other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables present a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure as measured in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted Net Income/Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Adjusted Net Income/Adjusted EPS

Adjusted Net Income	$	26,967	$	0.44	$	24,679	$	0.41

¹ Acquisition costs reflect total non-recurring charges and the incremental amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2016 and 2017, net of $4.1 million and $12.0 million in tax for 2017 and 2016, respectively.

¹ Acquisition costs reflect all non-recurring charges related to acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2016 and 2017 (excluding the impact of tax) that are not embedded in other balances of the table. Certain portions of the total acquisition costs incurred are included in interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation.

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 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.

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 2016 (ending September 30, 2016) and fiscal year 2015 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.

Liquidity

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.

Our principal sources of liquidity as of December 31, 2016 were our cash and cash equivalents of $73.3 million and our available borrowings of $341.9 million under our asset based lending revolving credit facility.

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 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 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. We may also issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock to raise funds, which we last did with an issuance of additional common stock in December 2005.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2016			2015

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	78,123		$	44,675
Net cash used in investing activities		(8,730	)		(943,080	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(27,705	)		885,305
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and equivalents		197			(351	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	41,885		$	(13,451	)

Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $78.1 million in 2017, compared to $44.7 million provided by operating activities in 2016. Cash from operations increased $33.4 million due to an increase in net income after adjustments for non-cash items of $14.4 million and a $19.1 million decrease in the usage of working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $8.7 million in 2017, compared to $943.1 million used in investing activities in 2016. During 2016, we spent $1.9 million on acquisitions compared to $941.2 million in 2016. Capital expenditures were $7.3 million in 2017, compared to $2.2 million in 2016.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $27.7 million in 2017, compared to $885.3 million provided by financing activities in 2016. The net decrease of $913.0 million was primarily due to the new financing agreements that we entered into as a result of the RSG acquisition in 2016, offset by repayments and payment of deferred financing costs. In addition, proceeds from the issuance of common stock decreased by $5.5 million to $3.5 million in 2017, as compared to $9.0 million in 2016.

Capital Resources

We currently have the following credit facilities:

an asset-based revolving line of credit facility in the United States;

an asset-based revolving line of credit facility in Canada;

a term loan facility; and

Senior notes

In connection with the RSG acquisition on October 1, 2015, we entered into various financing arrangements totaling $1.45 billion. These arrangements allowed us to refinance our existing debt and substantially pay off all the RSG debt at closing. Prior to the RSG acquisition, we had a credit facility with a syndicate of commercial banks that included a revolver and a long term note. As of the date of the RSG acquisition, approximately $185.6 million was outstanding on the long-term note payable and approximately $11.2 million was outstanding under the revolver.

We entered into a “Senior Secured Credit Facility”, comprised of an asset-based revolving line of credit facility (“ABL” or “ABL Facility”) of $700.0 million ($350.0 million of which was drawn at closing) and a new $450.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan” or “Term Loan Facility”). We also issued $300.0 million of Senior Notes.

Asset-based Line of Credit Facility (“ABL Facility”)

On October 1, 2015, we entered into a $700.0 million ABL Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of other lenders. This ABL Facility consists of revolving loans in both the United States (“U.S. Revolver”) in the amount of $670.0 million and Canada (“Canada Revolver”) in the amount of $30.0 million. The ABL Facility has a maturity date of October 1, 2020.

The U.S. Revolver has various tranches of borrowings, bearing interest at rates ranging from 2.02% to 4.00%. The effective rate of these borrowings is 3.13% and is paid monthly. As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance on the U.S. Revolver and Canada Revolvers, net of debt issuance fees, was $332.7 million. The U.S. Revolver also has outstanding standby letters of credit in the amount of $12.6 million as of December 31, 2016. Current unused commitment fees on the revolving credit facilities are 0.25% per annum.

There is one financial covenant under the ABL Facility, which is a Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio. As defined in the ABL Facility, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio must be at least minimum of 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter, calculated on a trailing four quarter basis. The covenant is only applicable when the borrowing availability is less than 10% of the maximum loan cap or $60.0 million.

The ABL Facility is guaranteed jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally by our active United States subsidiary.

Term Loan

On October 1, 2015, we entered into a $450.0 million Term Loan Facility with Citibank N.A., and a syndicate of other lenders. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1.1 million, with the remaining outstanding principal to be paid on its maturity date of October 1, 2022. The interest rate paid is based on a LIBOR rate (with a floor) plus a fixed spread. We have the option of selecting a LIBOR period that determines the rate at which interest can accrue on the Term Loan as well as the period in which interest payments are made. On September 16, 2016, we refinanced our Term Loan and lowered the LIBOR floor by 25 basis points and lowered the spread by 25 basis points. As a result of the refinancing we wrote off $1.6 million of debt issuance costs in interest expense. As of December 31, 2016 the outstanding balance on the Term Loan, net of debt issuance fees, was $435.6 million.

The Term Loan is guaranteed jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally by our active United States subsidiary.

Senior Notes

We also raised $300.0 million in Senior Notes, which mature on October 1, 2023. These notes bear interest at the rate of 6.38% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2016. There are early payment provisions in the Senior Note indenture in which we would be subject to “make whole” provisions. Management anticipates repaying the notes at the maturity date of October 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2016 the outstanding balance on the Senior Notes, net of debt issuance fees, was $291.4 million.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally by our active United States subsidiary.

Equipment Financing Facilities and Other Financing Arrangements

As of December 31, 2016, there was a total of $19.2 million outstanding under equipment financing facilities, with fixed interest rates ranging from 2.33% to 3.25% and payments due through September 2021.

We have capital leases in the amount of $23.8 million outstanding as of December 31, 2016. These leases have interest rates ranging from 2.72% to 10.39% with payments due through November 2021.
