1. Basis of Presentation

Builders FirstSource, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in 1998, is a leading supplier and manufacturer of building materials, manufactured components and construction services to professional homebuilders, sub-contractors, remodelers and consumers.  The Company operates 402 locations in 40 states across the United States. In this quarterly report, references to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” or “us” refer to Builders FirstSource, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all recurring adjustments and normal accruals necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the remainder of the current year or for any future period. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the existing guidance under the Compensation-Stock Compensation topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) to clarify when modification accounting would be applied for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based award. Under this new guidance modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This guidance is required to be adopted on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not regularly modify the terms and conditions of its share-based awards and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an update to the existing guidance under the Intangibles-Goodwill and Other topic of the Codification to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All of the other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged, including the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. This update is effective for annual and any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted for annual or interim goodwill tests performed after January 1, 2017.  As such, the Company intends to adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2017 in connection with its annual goodwill impairment test. This guidance will be applied on a prospective basis following adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an update to the existing guidance under the Business Combinations topic of the Codification. This update revises the definition of a business. Under this guidance when substantially all of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets) the assets acquired would not be considered a business. If this initial screen is met the need for further assessment is eliminated. If this screen is not met in order to be considered a business an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. This update is effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted. This guidance requires prospective application following adoption. While the Company is still evaluating this updated guidance, the impact on our financial statements will depend upon the occurrence of any future acquisition activity.  

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update to the existing guidance under the Compensation-Stock Compensation topic of the Codification. This update simplifies several aspects of accounting for stock compensation including accounting for income taxes, classification of awards as liabilities or equity, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update was effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. As such, we adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017. Upon adoption the Company recognized $8.9 million in previously unrecorded windfall benefits on a

7

modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of our accumulated deficit. All windfalls or shortfalls are now recognized as a component of income tax expense in the period they occur. The Company elected to recognize the effect of pre-vesting forfeitures as they actually occur rather than estimating forfeitures each period.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update to the existing guidance under the Leases topic of the Codification. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. This update requires a modified retrospective transition as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. This update is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company has a significant number of leases, primarily related to real estate and rolling stock, which are accounted for as operating leases under existing guidance. While we are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our financial statements, we are expecting a significant impact to our balance sheet upon adoption related to the establishment of lease liabilities and the corresponding right-of-use assets.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an update to the existing guidance under the Inventory topic of the Codification. This update changes the subsequent measurement of inventory from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to the existing guidance under the Revenue Recognition topic of the Codification which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  Subsequent to issuance of the original update, the FASB issued several further updates amending this new guidance. In April 2016, the FASB issued an update clarifying issues related to identifying performance obligations and licensing. In May 2016, the FASB issued an update regarding the assessment of collectability criteria, presentation of sales taxes, measurement of noncash consideration and transition guidance for completed contracts and contract modifications. The Company intends to adopt this guidance beginning on January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. While we are still evaluating the impact of these updates on our financial statements, we anticipate that this guidance will primarily impact our contracts with service elements. Under current guidance, we recognize sales from contracts with service elements on the completed contract method when these contracts are completed within 30 days. The remaining contracts with service elements are recognized under the percentage of completion method.  Under this updated guidance, we anticipate that revenue related to our contracts with service elements will generally be recognized over time based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. We anticipate the impact from adoption to primarily be associated with deferred revenue on contracts outstanding at December 31, 2017 accounted for under the completed contract method, which is anticipated to be generally recognized earlier under this new guidance. In addition, we are currently in the process of assessing and updating our business processes, systems and controls to ensure compliance with the recognition and disclosure requirements of the new standard upon adoption.  

2. Net Income per Common Share

Net income per common share (“EPS”) is calculated in accordance with the Earnings per Share topic of the Codification, which requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares.

For the purpose of computing diluted EPS, weighted average shares outstanding have been adjusted for common shares underlying 2.7 million options and 2.2 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Weighted average shares outstanding have been adjusted for common shares underlying 3.5 million options and 2.1 million RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The table below presents a reconciliation of weighted average common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands):  

3. Debt

Long-term debt and lease obligations consisted of the following (in thousands):

2017 Debt Transactions

In the first quarter of 2017 the Company executed two debt transactions which are described in more detail below. These transactions included a repricing and extension of our $470.0 million term loan facility originally due 2022 (“2015 term loan”) as well as increasing the borrowing capacity and extending the maturity of our $800.0 million revolving credit facility (“2015 facility”). These transactions have further extended our debt maturity profile and reduced our annual cash interest on a go forward basis.

Term Loan Amendment

On February 23, 2017, we repriced our 2015 term loan through an amendment and extension of the term loan credit agreement providing for a $467.7 million senior secured term loan facility due 2024 (“2024 term loan”). This repricing reduces the interest rate by 0.75% and extends the maturity by 19 months to February 29, 2024.  

The 2024 term loan bears interest based on either a eurodollar or base rate (a rate equal to the highest of an agreed commercially available benchmark rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or the eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, as selected by the Company) plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin in the 2024 term loan is (x) 3% in the case of Eurodollar rate loans and (y) 2% in the case of base rate loans. These rates represents a 0.75% reduction from the 2015 term loan.  Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch continues to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the 2024 term loan agreement. 

In connection with the 2024 term loan amendment we recognized $0.4 million in interest expense in the first quarter of 2017 related to the write-off of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs. We incurred $1.2 million in lender fees which, together with $10.0 million in remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, have been recorded as a reduction of long-term debt and are being amortized over the remaining contractual life of the 2024 term loan using the effective interest method. In addition, we also incurred $1.4 million in various third-party fees and expenses related to the 2024 term loan amendment which were recorded to interest expense in the first quarter of 2017.

Revolving Credit Facility Amendment

On March 22, 2017, the Company extended the maturity date and increased the revolving commitments under its 2015 facility. This transaction resulted in an amended and restated $900.0 million revolving credit facility (“2022 facility”) and extended the

9

maturity by 20 months to March 22, 2022. SunTrust Bank continues to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the 2022 facility agreement. All other material terms of the 2022 facility remain unchanged from those of the 2015 facility.

In connection with the 2022 facility amendment, we recognized $0.6 million in interest expense in the first quarter of 2017 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. We incurred $1.6 million in lender and third-party fees which, together with $8.5 million in remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, have been recorded as other assets and are being amortized over the remaining contractual life of the 2022 facility on a straight-line basis.

2022 Facility Borrowings

As of September 30, 2017, we have $55.0 million in borrowings outstanding under our 2022 facility. During the first nine months of 2017, we borrowed $894.0 million and repaid $839.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 2.9%.

2024 Term Loan

As of September 30, 2017, we have $464.1 million in borrowings outstanding under our 2024 term loan at a weighted average interest rate of 4.3%. During the first nine months of 2017, we repaid $3.5 million of the 2024 term loan.

We were not in violation of any covenants or restrictions imposed by any of our debt agreements at September 30, 2017.

Fair Value

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company does not have any financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We have elected to report the value of our 2023 notes, 2024 notes, and 2024 term loan at amortized cost. The fair values of the 2023 notes, the 2024 notes and the 2024 term loan at September 30, 2017 were approximately $419.5 million, $794.4 million and $465.9 million, respectively, and were determined using Level 2 inputs based on market prices.

4. Employee Stock-Based Compensation

Time Based Restricted Stock Unit Grants

In the first nine months of 2017, our board of directors granted 453,000 RSUs to employees and eligible directors under our 2007 and 2014 Incentive Plans for which vesting is based solely on continuous employment over the requisite service period. 348,000 of the RSUs vest at 33% per year at each anniversary of the grant date over the next three years, 57,000 RSUs vest at 25% per year at each anniversary of the grant date over the next four years and 48,000 RSUs vest 100% at the first anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average grant date fair value for these RSUs was $14.47 per share, which was based on the closing stock price on the grant dates.

Performance and Service Condition Based Restricted Stock Unit Grants

In the first nine months of 2017, our board of directors granted 174,000 RSUs to employees under our 2007 and 2014 Incentive Plans, that vest if the compound annual growth rate of the Company’s total sales in 2019 over 2016 exceeds a composite annual growth rate based on single-family housing starts, multi-family housing starts, and growth in repair and remodeling sales over the same period. Assuming continued employment and if the performance vesting condition is achieved, these awards will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average grant date fair value for these RSUs was $14.54 per share, which was based on the closing stock price on the grant dates.

10

Market and Service Condition Based Restricted Stock Unit Grants

In the first nine months of 2017, our board of directors granted 174,000 RSUs to employees under our 2007 and 2014 Incentive Plans for which vesting is contingent upon the Company’s total shareholder return exceeding the median total shareholder return of the Company’s peer group over a three year measurement period. Assuming continued employment and if the market vesting condition is met, these awards will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average grant date fair value for these RSUs was $11.49 per share, which was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model using the following weighted average assumptions:

The expected volatilities and correlation are based on the historical daily returns of our common stock and the common stocks of the constituents of the Company’s peer group over the most recent period equal to the measurement period. The expected dividend yield is based on our history of not paying regular dividends in the past and our current intention to not pay regular dividends in the foreseeable future. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and has a term equal to the measurement period.

Stock Option Grant

In the first nine months of 2017, our board of directors granted 57,000 stock options to employees under our 2014 Incentive Plan. All the awards vest at 25% per year at each anniversary of the grant date over four years. The exercise price for the options was $12.94 per share, which was the closing stock price on the grant date. The weighted average grant date fair value of the options was $7.26 and was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The expected life represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding. We used the simplified method for determining the expected life assumption due to limited historical exercise experience on our stock options. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected life of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on our history of not paying regular dividends in the past and our current intention to not pay regular dividends in the foreseeable future. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and has a term equal to the expected life of the options.

5. Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to our effective rate for continuing operations is provided below:

As discussed in Note 1 the Company adopted updated guidance related to the accounting for stock compensation in the first quarter of 2017. As a result of this updated guidance all windfalls or shortfalls are now recognized as a component of income tax expense in the period they occur.  

11

We evaluate our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. In accordance with the Income Taxes topic of the Codification we assess whether it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in estimating valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and in making this determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions. The realization of a deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the applicable carryback or carryforward periods. We consider nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, as well as historical and forecasted financial results, the overall business environment, our industry's historic cyclicality, the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies in our assessment. Changes in our estimates of future taxable income and tax planning strategies will affect our estimate of the realization of the tax benefits of these tax carryforwards. As of September 30, 2017, the Company needed to generate approximately $231.2 million of pre-tax income in future periods to fully realize its net federal deferred tax assets.

We recorded a full valuation allowance in 2008 due to our cumulative three year loss position at that time, compounded by the negative industry-wide business trends and outlook. We remained in a cumulative three year loss position until the second quarter of 2016. In the third quarter of 2016, management determined that there was sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it was more likely than not that the valuation allowance should be released against our net federal and some state deferred tax assets.  Further, during the second quarter of 2017, as a result of executing certain tax planning strategies related to legal entity conversions, we determined that it was more likely than not that we will utilize almost all of our state net operating loss carryovers. Therefore, we recorded reductions to the associated valuation allowance of $0.1 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. We recorded reductions to the valuation allowance of $117.6 million and $128.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, against our net deferred tax assets as we released valuation allowances against our federal and some state deferred tax assets.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes annual limitations on the utilization of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, other tax carryforwards, and certain built-in losses upon an ownership change as defined under that section. In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions that increase the aggregate ownership of certain stockholders in the Company’s stock by more than 50 percentage points over a three year testing period (“Section 382 Ownership Change”). In the first nine months of 2017, affiliates of a significant shareholder sold their investment in the Company, which triggered a Section 382 Ownership Change. As a result of triggering a Section 382 Ownership Change, an annual limitation is now imposed on the Company’s tax attributes, including its NOLs and other credits. The Company has evaluated the impact of this limitation on its Federal NOLs and does not expect it to have a material impact on the future utilization or realizability of its Federal NOLs. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of this limitation on its other attributes, we do not expect it to have a material impact on the future utilization or realizability of its other attributes.

We base our estimate of deferred tax assets and liabilities on current tax laws and rates. In certain cases, we also base our estimate on business plan forecasts and other expectations about future outcomes. Changes in existing tax laws or rates could affect our actual tax results, and future business results may affect the amount of our deferred tax liabilities or the valuation of our deferred tax assets over time. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, particularly with respect to changes in facts and circumstances in future reporting periods, as well as the residential homebuilding industry’s cyclicality and sensitivity to changes in economic conditions, it is possible that actual results could differ from the estimates used in previous analyses.  

Accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Since the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company has seen an increased occurrence of known and threatened construction defect legal claims primarily in two states. While these claims are generally covered under the Company’s existing insurance programs to the extent any loss exceeds the deductible, there is a reasonable possibility of loss that is not able to be estimated at this time because (i) many of the proceedings are in the discovery stage, (ii) the outcome of future litigation is uncertain, and/or (iii) the complex nature of the claims.  Although the Company cannot estimate a reasonable range of loss based on currently available information, the resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, we are involved in various other claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of our business in the ordinary course. We carry insurance coverage in such amounts in excess of our self-insured retention as we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and that may or may not cover any or all of our liabilities in respect of such claims and lawsuits. Although the ultimate disposition of these other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of any such claims that are pending or threatened, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, there can be no assurances that future adverse judgments and costs would not be material to our results of operations or liquidity for a particular period.

7. Segment and Product Information

We offer an integrated solution to our customers providing manufacturing, supply, and installation of a full range of structural and related building products.  We provide a wide variety of building products and services directly to homebuilder customers. We manufacture floor trusses, roof trusses, wall panels, stairs, millwork, windows, and doors. We also provide a full range of construction services. These product and service offerings are distributed across approximately 402 locations operating in 40 states across the United States, which are organized into nine geographical regions.  Centralized financial and operational oversight, including resource allocation and assessment of performance on an income (loss) before income taxes basis, is performed by our CEO, whom we have determined to be our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).    

The Company has nine operating segments aligned with its nine geographical regions (Regions 1 through 9). While all of our operating segments have products, distribution methods and customers of a similar nature, certain of our operating segments have been aggregated due to also containing similar economic characteristics, resulting in the following composition of reportable segments:

In addition to our reportable segments, our consolidated results include corporate overhead, other various operating activities that are not internally allocated to a geographical region nor separately reported as a single unit to the CODM, and certain reconciling items primarily related to allocations of corporate overhead and rent expense, which have collectively been presented as “All Other”.  The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those referenced in Note 1, except for noted reconciling items.  

The following tables present Net sales, income (loss) before income taxes and certain other measures for the reportable segments, reconciled to consolidated total continuing operations, for the periods indicated (in thousands):

13

Asset information by segment is not reported internally or otherwise reviewed by the CODM nor does the Company earn revenues or have long-lived assets located in foreign countries.  The Company’s net sales by product category for the periods indicated were as follows (in thousands):

8. Related Party Transactions

Floyd F. Sherman, our chief executive officer, and Brett Milgrim, a member of the Company’s board of directors, serve on the board of directors for PGT, Inc. We purchased windows from PGT, Inc. totaling $2.9 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We purchased windows from PGT, Inc. totaling $9.4 million and $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We had accounts payable to PGT, Inc. in the amounts of $1.4 million and $1.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Transactions between the Company and other related parties occur in the ordinary course of business. However, the Company carefully monitors and assesses related party relationships. Management does not believe that any of these transactions with related parties had a material impact on the Company’s results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

We are a leading supplier and manufacturer of building materials, manufactured components and construction services to professional homebuilders, sub-contractors, remodelers and consumers. The Company operates 402 locations in 40 states across the United States. Given the span and depth of our geographical reach, our locations are organized into nine geographical regions (Regions 1 through 9), which are also our operating segments, and these are further aggregated into four reportable segments: Northeast, Southeast, South and West. All of our segments have similar customers, products and services, and distribution methods. Our financial statements contain additional information regarding segment performance which is discussed in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

We offer an integrated solution to our customers providing manufacturing, supply and installation of a full range of structural and related building products. Our manufactured products include our factory-built roof and floor trusses, wall panels and stairs, vinyl windows, custom millwork and trim, as well as engineered wood that we design, cut, and assemble for each home. We also assemble interior and exterior doors into pre-hung units. Additionally, we supply our customers with a broad offering of professional grade building products not manufactured by us, such as dimensional lumber and lumber sheet goods and various window, door and millwork lines. Our full range of construction-related services includes professional installation, turn-key framing and shell construction, and spans all our product categories.

We group our building products into six product categories:

Our operating results are dependent on the following trends, events and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control:

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company executed two debt transactions which are described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. These transactions further extended our debt maturity profile and reduced our annual cash interest on a go forward basis.

CURRENT OPERATING CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

Though the level of housing starts remains below the historical average, the homebuilding industry has shown improvement since 2011. For the third quarter of 2017, actual U.S. total housing starts were 317,400, a 1.4% increase compared to the third quarter of 2016. Actual U.S. single-family starts were 229,600 in the third quarter of 2017, an 11.2% increase compared to the same quarter a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 actual U.S. total housing starts were 912,200, a 3.1% increase compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Actual U.S. single-family starts were 648,600 for the first nine months of 2017, a 9.1% increase from the same period a year ago. While the housing industry has strengthened over the past few years, the limited availability of credit to smaller homebuilders and potential homebuyers, as well as the high demand for a limited supply of skilled construction labor, among other factors, have hampered a stronger recovery. A composite of third party sources, including the NAHB, are forecasting 1,208,500 U.S. total housing starts and 840,500 U.S single family housing starts for 2017, which are increases of 3.0% and 7.5%, respectively from 2016. In addition, the Home Improvement Research Institute (“HIRI”) is forecasting sales in the professional repair and remodel end market to increase approximately 3.4% in 2017 compared to 2016.

Our net sales for the third quarter of 2017 were up 7.6% over the same period last year. We estimate that our sales volume increased 0.7%, while commodity price inflation resulted in an additional 6.9% increase in sales during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. Sales growth in the third quarter of 2017 was hampered by one less selling day in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 as well as the impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. In addition, increases in single-family sales volume were offset by a flat repair and remodel end market and declines in multi-family. Our gross margin percentage decreased by 0.6% during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. Our gross margin percentage decreased primarily due to commodity price inflation during the third quarter of 2017 relative to our short-term customer pricing commitments. We continue to invest in our business to improve our operating efficiency, which has allowed us to better leverage our operating costs against changes in net sales. Our selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 19.7% in the third quarter of 2017, a 0.4% decrease from 20.1% in the third quarter of 2016. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, was primarily attributable to cost leverage on increased sales, offset by investments the Company made towards growth initiatives, including additional sales associates and new locations.

We believe that the long-term outlook for the housing industry is positive due to growth in the underlying demographics. We feel we are well-positioned to take advantage of the construction activity in our markets and to increase our market share, which may include strategic acquisitions. We will continue to focus on working capital by closely monitoring the credit exposure of our customers and by working with our vendors to improve our payment terms and pricing on our products. We will also continue to work diligently to achieve the appropriate balance of short-term expense control while maintaining the expertise and capacity to grow the business as market conditions improve. In addition, debt reduction will continue to be a key area of focus for the Company.  We want to create long-term shareholder value and avoid taking steps that will limit our ability to compete.

SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS

Our first and fourth quarters have historically been, and are generally expected to continue to be, adversely affected by weather causing reduced construction activity during these quarters. In addition, quarterly results historically have reflected, and are expected to continue to reflect, fluctuations from period to period arising from the following:

The composition and level of working capital typically change during periods of increasing sales as we carry more inventory and receivables. Working capital levels typically increase in the second and third quarters of the year due to higher sales during the peak residential construction season. These increases have in the past resulted in negative operating cash flows during this peak season, which historically have been financed through available cash and borrowing availability under credit facilities. Collection of receivables and reduction in inventory levels following the peak building and construction season have in the past positively impacted cash flow.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the percentage relationship to net sales of certain costs, expenses and income items:

18

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared with the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $1,878.9 million, a 7.6% increase over net sales of $1,746.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. We estimate that our sales volume increased 0.7%, while commodity price inflation resulted in an additional 6.9% increase in sales during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. Single-family sales volume growth in the third quarter of 2017 was offset by a flat repair and remodel end market and declines in multi-family.  Sales volume growth was also hampered by one less selling day in the third quarter of 2017 compared to 2016 and the impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. 

The following table shows net sales classified by product category (dollars in millions):

We achieved increased net sales across all of our product categories. The impact of commodity price inflation in the third quarter of 2017 resulted in the sales growth of our lumber and lumber sheet goods and manufactured products categories exceeding the sales growth of our other product categories.

Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $22.2 million to $459.3 million. Our gross margin percentage decreased to 24.4% in the third quarter of 2017 from 25.0% in the third quarter of 2016, a 0.6% decrease. Our gross margin percentage decreased primarily due to commodity price inflation during the third quarter of 2017 relative to our short-term customer pricing commitments.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $19.8 million, or 5.6%. Our salaries and benefits expense was $239.0 million, an increase of $2.9 million from the third quarter of 2016, and stock compensation expense increased $0.9 million. Delivery expense increased $6.2 million, office general and administrative expense increased $2.4 million and occupancy expense increased $1.5 million. In addition, we recognized a $1.5 million loss on the disposal of assets in the third quarter of 2017 compared to a gain of $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2016.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 19.7% in the third quarter of 2017 from 20.1% in the third quarter of 2016, primarily attributable to cost leverage on increased sales, offset by investments the Company made towards growth initiatives, including additional sales associates and new locations.  

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $33.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of $58.5 million from the third quarter of 2016. Of this decrease, $4.8 million was attributable to reduced interest expense resulting from our debt transactions executed in fiscal year 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. In addition, interest expense for the third quarter of 2016 was increased by $53.3 million in charges related to the debt financing transactions executed in that period. The remaining change is largely due to reduced interest expense on lease obligations in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period last year.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $15.1 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to an income tax benefit of $131.5 million in the third quarter of 2016. We recorded reductions of $0.1 million and $117.6 million in the after tax non-cash valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 27.5% in the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to tax planning initiatives related to research and development credits for fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Our effective tax rate was 2,179.7% in the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to the effect of the valuation allowance decrease against our net federal and some state deferred tax assets in that period. Absent the valuation allowance our effective tax rate, inclusive of discrete items, would have been 53.2% in the third quarter of 2016.

19

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net Sales. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $5,255.3 million, a 9.0% increase over net sales of $4,820.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We estimate that our sales volume increased 3.2%, while commodity price inflation resulted in an additional 5.8% increase in sales during the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 sales volume growth in single-family and the repair and remodeling end market were partially offset by declines in multi-family.

The following table shows net sales classified by product category (dollars in millions):

We achieved increased net sales across all of our product categories. The impact of commodity price inflation in the first nine months of 2017 resulted in the sales growth of our lumber and lumber sheet goods and manufactured products categories exceeding the sales growth of our other product categories.

Gross Margin. Gross margin increased $91.0 million to $1,296.2 million. Our gross margin percentage decreased to 24.7% in the first nine months of 2017 from 25.0% in the first nine months of 2016, a 0.3% decrease. Our gross margin percentage decreased primarily due to the impact of commodity price inflation during the first nine months of 2017 relative to our short-term customer pricing commitments.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $56.2 million, or 5.5%. Our salaries and benefits expense was $696.0 million, an increase of $23.8 million from the first nine months of 2016, and stock compensation expense increased $2.2 million. Office general and administrative expense increased $12.8 million, occupancy expense increased $5.0 million and delivery expense increased $2.5 million. In addition, we recognized a $4.4 million loss on the disposal of assets in the first nine months of 2017 compared to a gain of $5.2 million in the first nine months of 2016.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 20.5% in the first nine months of 2017 from 21.2% in the first nine months of 2016, due to cost leverage on increased sales as well as the decline in depreciation and amortization on acquired ProBuild assets, partially offset by investments the Company made towards growth initiatives, including additional sales associates and new locations.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $103.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $66.6 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Of this decrease, $20.7 million was attributable to reduced interest expense, a positive result of our debt transactions executed in fiscal year 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. In addition, interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was increased by $47.3 million in charges related to the debt financing transactions executed in that period. Partially offsetting these decreases, interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $2.4 million related to the 2024 term loan and 2022 facility amendments which were completed in the first quarter of 2017. The remaining change is largely due to reduced interest expense on lease obligations in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period last year.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $35.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to an income tax benefit of $122.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We recorded reductions of $3.8 million and $128.6 million in the after tax non-cash valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 30.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 largely due to the tax benefits associated with various tax planning initiatives in 2017 primarily relating to legal entity conversions and research and development credits for fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. As a result of the legal entity conversions we consider it more likely than not that we will utilize our state net operating loss carryovers before they expire. Our effective tax rate was (810.9%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the effect of the valuation allowance decrease against our net federal and

20

some state deferred tax assets in that period. Absent the valuation allowance our effective tax rate would have been 38.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Results by Reportable Segment

The following table shows net sales and income before income taxes by reportable segment (dollars in thousands):

We have four reportable segments based on an aggregation of the geographic regions in which we operate. Our reportable segments do not necessarily align with any single region as defined by the U.S Census Bureau.  

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, actual single-family housing starts in the third quarter of 2017 increased 23.8%, 5.1%, 9.1% and 15.7% in the Northeast, Midwest, South and West regions, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2016. For the third quarter of 2017, we achieved increased net sales and profitability across all of our reportable segments primarily attributable to the impacts of commodity price inflation.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, actual single-family housing starts in the first nine months of 2017 increased 5.8%, 7.7%, 7.5% and 14.7% in the Northeast, Midwest, South and West regions, respectively, compared to the first nine months of 2016. For the first nine months of 2017, we achieved increased net sales and profitability across all of our reportable segments attributable to the impact of commodity price inflation as well as an increase in sales volume.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary capital requirements are to fund working capital needs and operating expenses, meet required interest and principal payments, and to fund capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions. Our capital resources at September 30, 2017 consist of cash on hand and borrowing availability under our 2022 facility.

Our 2022 facility will be primarily used for working capital, general corporate purposes, and funding acquisitions. In addition, we may use the 2022 facility to facilitate debt consolidation. Availability under the 2022 facility is determined by a borrowing base. Our borrowing base consists of trade accounts receivable, inventory, other receivables which include progress billings and credit card receivables, and qualified cash that all meet specific criteria contained within the credit agreement, minus agent specified reserves. Net excess borrowing availability is equal to the maximum borrowing amount minus outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

21

The following table shows our borrowing base and excess availability as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in millions):

As of September 30, 2017 we had $55.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our 2022 facility and our net excess borrowing availability was $760.1 million after being reduced by outstanding letters of credit of approximately $84.9 million. Excess availability must equal or exceed a minimum specified amount, currently $90.0 million, or we are required to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:00 to 1:00. We were not in violation of any covenants or restrictions imposed by any of our debt agreements at September 30, 2017.

Liquidity

Our liquidity at September 30, 2017 was $769.4 million, which consists of net borrowing availability under the 2022 facility and cash on hand.

We have substantial indebtedness following our recent acquisitions, which increased our interest expense and could have the effect of, among other things, reducing our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions. From time to time, based on market conditions and other factors and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the Company may repurchase or call the 2023 notes or 2024 notes, repay debt, or otherwise enter into transactions regarding its capital structure.

Should the current industry conditions deteriorate or we pursue additional acquisitions, we may be required to raise additional funds through the sale of capital stock or debt in the public capital markets or in privately negotiated transactions. There can be no assurance that any of these financing options would be available on favorable terms, if at all. Alternatives to help supplement our liquidity position could include, but are not limited to, idling or permanently closing additional facilities, adjusting our headcount in response to current business conditions, attempts to renegotiate leases, and divesting of non-core businesses. There are no assurances that these steps would prove successful or materially improve our liquidity position.

22

Consolidated Cash Flows

Cash used in operating activities was $7.6 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The $3.9 million increase in cash used in operations was largely the result of our working capital increase of $212.6 million in the first nine months of 2017 exceeding the working capital increase of $163.1 million for the first nine months of 2016. This seasonal investment in working capital, primarily related to accounts receivable and inventory, increased in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016 due to a $434.9 million increase in sales over the same period. Our accounts receivable days and inventory turns for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were consistent with the prior year. The impact of the working capital increase was offset by a $56.0 million decrease in cash interest payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Cash used in investing activities was $43.3 million and $35.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The $8.0 million increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to a $13.9 million increase in capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  This increase in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by $4.0 million in cash used for acquisitions in the first nine months of 2016. In addition, proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment increased $2.0 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to first nine months of 2016.

Cash provided by financing activities was $45.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to cash used in financing activities of $20.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The change is primarily related to the payment of $34.4 million in debt extinguishment costs in the first nine months of 2016 in connection with our debt financing transactions executed during that period. We had $55.0 million in net borrowings on our 2022 facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net borrowings of $29.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  In addition, payments of debt issuance costs were $2.8 million for the first nine months of 2017 compared to $15.2 million for the first nine months of 2016. Partially offsetting these increases in cash provided by financing activities, net repayments of long-term debt increased $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Information regarding recent accounting pronouncements is discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Item  3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We may experience changes in interest expense if changes in our debt occur. Changes in market interest rates could also affect our interest expense. Our 2023 notes and 2024 notes bear interest at a fixed rate, therefore, our interest expense related to these notes would not be affected by an increase in market interest rates. Borrowings under the 2022 facility and the 2024 term loan bear interest at either a base rate or eurodollar rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. At September 30, 2017, a 1.0% increase in interest rates would result in approximately $0.6 million in additional interest expense annually as we had $55.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the 2022 facility. The 2022 facility also assesses variable commitment and outstanding letter of credit fees based on quarterly average loan utilization. At September 30, 2017, a 1.0% increase in interest rates on the 2024 term loan would result in approximately $4.6 million in additional interest expense annually.

We purchase certain materials, including lumber products, which are then sold to customers as well as used as direct production inputs for our manufactured products that we deliver. Short-term changes in the cost of these materials and the related in-bound freight costs, some of which are subject to significant fluctuations, are sometimes, but not always, passed on to our customers. Our delayed ability to pass on material price increases to our customers can adversely impact our operating results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls Evaluation and Related CEO and CFO Certifications. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

23

Certifications of our CEO and our CFO, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), are attached as exhibits to this quarterly report. This “Controls and Procedures” section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A system of controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Because of the limitations in all such systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Furthermore, the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how unlikely. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective system of controls and procedures, misstatements or omissions due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Scope of the Controls Evaluation. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of their objectives and design, and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this quarterly report. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify whether we had any data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken if needed. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Many of the components of our disclosure controls and procedures are also evaluated by our internal audit department, our legal department and by personnel in our finance organization. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis, and to maintain them as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.

Conclusions regarding Disclosure Controls. Based on the required evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II  — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Since the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company has seen an increased occurrence of known and threatened construction defect legal claims primarily in two states. While these claims are generally covered under the Company’s existing insurance programs to the extent any loss exceeds the deductible, there is a reasonable possibility of loss that is not able to be estimated at this time because (i) many of the proceedings are in the discovery stage, (ii) the outcome of future litigation is uncertain, and/or (iii) the complex nature of the claims.  Although the Company cannot estimate a reasonable range of loss based on currently available information, the resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, we are involved in various other claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of our business in the ordinary course. We carry insurance coverage in such amounts in excess of our self-insured retention as we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and that may or may not cover any or all of our liabilities in respect of such claims and lawsuits. Although the ultimate disposition of these other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of any such claims that are pending or threatened, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, there can be no assurances that future adverse judgments and costs would not be material to our results of operations or liquidity for a particular period.

Although our business and facilities are subject to federal, state and local environmental regulation, environmental regulation does not have a material impact on our operations. We believe that our facilities are in material compliance with such laws and regulations. As owners and lessees of real property, we can be held liable for the investigation or remediation of contamination on such properties, in some circumstances without regard to whether we knew of or were responsible for such contamination. Our current expenditures with respect to environmental investigation and remediation at our facilities are minimal, although no assurance can be provided that more significant remediation may not be required in the future as a result of spills or releases of petroleum products or hazardous substances or the discovery of unknown environmental conditions.

Item  1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results
