INSTALLED BUILDING PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Installed Building Products (“IBP”), a Delaware corporation formed on October 28, 2011, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company,” and “we,” “us” and “our”) primarily install insulation, waterproofing, fire-stopping, fireproofing, garage doors, rain gutters, window blinds, shower doors, closet shelving and mirrors and other products for residential and commercial builders located in the continental United States. The Company operates in more than 190 locations and its corporate office is located in Columbus, Ohio.
We have one operating segment and a single reportable segment. Substantially all of our sales are derived from the service-based installation of various products in the residential new construction, repair and remodel and commercial construction end markets from our national network of branch locations.
Each of our branches has the capacity to serve all of our end markets. See Note 3, Revenue Recognition, for information on our revenues by product and end market.
The COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19") has caused significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. Many public health organizations and international, federal, state and local governments implemented measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 during portions of 2020 and 2021 with some of these restrictions still in place as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of these measures include restrictions on movement such as quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing ordinances and restricting or prohibiting outright some or all forms of commercial and business activity. We do not believe the various orders and restrictions significantly impacted our business in the first nine months of 2021. However, COVID-19 has caused disruptions in the building products supply chain, impacting our ability to purchase certain materials we install through typical channels. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our future operations, customers, suppliers, employees and financial results is uncertain. The future impact on our financial results will depend on numerous factors including government actions and the resulting impact on construction activity, the effect on our customers’ demand for our services, the effects on our supply chain for materials, and the ability of our customers to pay for our services.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The information furnished in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and statements of financial position for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading when read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”), as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021. The December 31, 2020 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Our interim operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future operating quarters.
Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2020 Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and estimates used in preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements. Other than the recently implemented accounting policies described below, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Standard | Effective Date | Adoption | ||||||||||||
ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848):Scope | Effective upon issuance | This pronouncement clarifies the scope and application of ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848)." We continue to evaluate the impact of Topic 848 and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. | ||||||||||||
ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes | January 1, 2021 | This pronouncement simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740 and improves the consistent application of GAAP by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this standard did not impact our financial statements or have a material effect on our disclosures. |
NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our revenues are derived primarily through contracts with customers whereby we install insulation and other complementary building products and are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. An insignificant portion of our sales, primarily retail sales, is accounted for on a point-in-time basis when the sale occurs, adjusted accordingly for any return provisions. We do offer assurance-type warranties on certain of our installed products and services that do not represent a separate performance obligation and, as such, do not impact the timing or extent of revenue recognition.
For contracts that are not complete at the reporting date, we recognize revenue over time utilizing a cost-to-cost input method as we believe this represents the best measure of when goods and services are transferred to the customer. When this method is used, we estimate the costs to complete individual contracts and record as revenue that portion of the total contract price that is considered complete based on the relationship of costs incurred to date to total anticipated costs. Under the cost-to-cost method, the use of estimated costs to complete each contract is a significant variable in the process of determining recognized revenue, requires judgment and can change throughout the duration of a contract due to contract modifications and other factors impacting job completion. The costs of earned revenue include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
Our long-term contracts can be subject to modification to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new, or changes the existing, enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.
Payment terms typically do not exceed 30 days for short-term contracts and typically do not exceed 60 days for long-term contracts with customers. All contracts are billed either contractually or as work is performed. Billing on our long-term contracts occurs primarily on a monthly basis throughout the contract period whereby we submit invoices for customer payment based on actual or estimated costs incurred during the billing period. On certain of our long-term contracts the customer may withhold payment on an invoice equal to a percentage of the invoice amount, which will be subsequently paid after satisfactory completion of each installation project. This amount is referred to as retainage and is common practice in the construction industry, as it allows for customers to ensure the quality of the service performed prior to full payment. Retainage receivables are classified as current or long-term assets based on the expected time to project completion.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Our contract assets consist of unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized, based on costs incurred, exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Our contract assets are recorded in other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our contract liabilities consist of customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized, based on costs incurred and are included in other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The difference between contract assets and contract liabilities as of September 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 is primarily the result of timing differences between our performance of obligations under contracts and customer payments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $0.1 million and $8.6 million of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2020. We did not recognize any impairment losses on our receivables and contract assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of contracts for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential modifications. As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining uncompleted contracts was $94.9 million. We expect to satisfy remaining performance obligations and recognize revenue on substantially all of these uncompleted contracts over the next 18 months.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
We generally expense sales commissions and other incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period is usually one year or less. Sales commissions are recorded within selling expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
NOTE 4 - CREDIT LOSSES
Our expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical losses, current economic conditions and future market forecasts. We also perform ongoing evaluations of our existing and potential customer’s creditworthiness. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on the collectability of our existing trade receivables.

NOTE 6 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES
We anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have an impact on the homebuilding industry in general, as it could result in further business interruptions (government-mandated or otherwise) and could affect, among other factors, employment levels, consumer spending and consumer confidence, which could decrease demand for homes, adversely affecting our business. As such, we considered whether impairment indicators arose through the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our goodwill, long-lived assets and other intangible assets and concluded that no such factors existed to cause us to test for goodwill impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. While we ultimately concluded that our goodwill, long-lived assets and other intangibles assets were not impaired as of September 30, 2021, we will continue to assess impairment indicators related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

5.75% Senior Notes due 2028
In September 2019, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on February 1, 2028 and interest is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 1 and August 1 each year until maturity. The indenture covering the Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and certain of our subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) to: (i) incur additional debt and issue preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase stock in an aggregate amount exceeding 2.0% of market capitalization per fiscal year, or in an aggregate amount exceeding certain applicable restricted payment baskets; (iii) prepay subordinated debt; (iv) create liens; (v) make specified types of investments; (vi) apply net proceeds from

certain asset sales; (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets; and (ix) pay dividends and make other distributions from subsidiaries.
Credit Facilities
In December 2019, we amended and restated our $400.0 million, seven-year term loan facility due April 2025 (the “Term Loan”) under our credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”), dated as of April 13, 2017 (as previously amended by the First Amendment thereto dated November 30, 2017 and by the Second Amendment thereto dated June 19, 2018). The amended Term Loan (i) effects a repricing of the interest rate applicable to the term loans thereunder from LIBOR plus 2.50% to LIBOR plus 2.25% and (ii) replaces Royal Bank of Canada with Bank of America, N.A. as the administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder. As of September 30, 2021, we had $198.9 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, due on our Term Loan. The amended Term Loan also has a margin of 1.25% in the case of base rate loans.
In September 2019, we entered into a new asset-based lending credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”). The ABL Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based lending credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) of up to $200.0 million with a five-year maturity, which replaced the Company’s previous revolving credit facility. Borrowing availability under the ABL Revolver is based on a percentage of the value of certain assets securing the Company’s obligations and those of the subsidiary guarantors thereunder. In connection with the Amended and Restated Term Loan, we entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as ABL Agent for the lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement, and Bank of America, N.A., as Term Loan Agent for the lenders under the Amended and Restated Term Loan. Including outstanding letters of credit, our remaining availability under the ABL Revolver as of September 30, 2021 was $155.7 million.
All of the obligations under the Term Loan and ABL Revolver are guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing restricted subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by the Company’s future restricted subsidiaries. Additionally, all obligations under the Term Loan and ABL Revolver, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, including a first-priority security interest in such assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral, as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement, and a second-priority security interest in such assets that constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement.
The ABL Revolver bears interest at either the Eurodollar rate or the base rate (which approximated the prime rate), at the Company’s election, plus a margin of (A) 1.25% or 1.50% in the case of Eurodollar rate loans (based on a measure of availability under the ABL Credit Agreement) and (B) 0.25% or 0.50% in the case of base rate loans (based on a measure of availability under the ABL Credit Agreement).
The ABL Revolver also provides incremental revolving credit facility commitments of up to $50.0 million. The terms and conditions of any incremental revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the terms of the ABL Revolver. The ABL Revolver also allows for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $75.0 million in aggregate and borrowing of swingline loans of up to $20.0 million in aggregate.
The ABL Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring the satisfaction of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0x in the event that we do not meet a minimum measure of availability under the ABL Revolver. The ABL Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the
Company and certain of our subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) to: (i) incur additional debt and issue preferred stock;
(ii) pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase stock in an aggregate amount exceeding 2.0% of market capitalization per fiscal
year, or in an aggregate amount exceeding certain applicable restricted payment baskets; (iii) prepay subordinated debt; (iv)
create liens; (v) make specified types of investments; (vi) apply net proceeds from certain asset sales; (vii) engage in
transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets; and (ix) pay dividends and make other
distributions from subsidiaries.
Vehicle and Equipment Notes
We are party to a Master Loan and Security Agreement (“Master Loan and Security Agreement”), a Master Equipment Lease Agreement (“Master Equipment Agreement”) and one or more Master Loan Agreements (“Master Loan Agreements” and together with the Master Loan and Security Agreement and Master Equipment Agreement, the “Master Loan and Equipment Agreements”) with various lenders to provide financing for the purpose of purchasing or leasing vehicles and equipment used in

the normal course of business. Each financing arrangement under these agreements constitutes a separate note and obligation. Vehicles and equipment purchased or leased under each financing arrangement serve as collateral for the note applicable to such financing arrangement. Regular payments are due under each note for a period of typically 60 consecutive months after the incurrence of the obligation. The specific terms of each note are based on specific criteria, including the type of vehicle or equipment and the market interest rates at the time.
Total gross assets relating to our Master Loan and Equipment Agreements were $135.4 million and $132.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The net book value of assets under these agreements was $66.4 million and $65.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Depreciation of assets held under these agreements is included within cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. During the periods presented, there were no transfers between fair value hierarchical levels.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets, specifically other intangible and long-lived assets, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are categorized based on the lowest level of significant input to the valuation. The assets are measured at fair value when our impairment assessment indicates a carrying value for each of the assets in excess of the asset’s estimated fair value. Undiscounted cash flows, a Level 3 input, are utilized in determining estimated fair values. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not record any impairments on these assets required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of certain long-term debt, including the Term Loan and ABL Revolver as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximate fair value due to the variable rate nature of the agreements. The carrying amounts of our operating lease right-of-use assets and the obligations associated with our operating and finance leases as well as our vehicle and equipment notes approximate fair value as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. All debt classifications represent Level 2 fair value measurements.
Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value based on observable market information and appropriate valuation methods. Contingent consideration liabilities arise from future earnout payments to the sellers associated with certain acquisitions and are based on predetermined calculations of certain future results. These future payments are estimated by

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Our purpose for using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we used an interest rate swap to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and we currently do not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2021, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements.
In August 2020, we terminated our two existing interest rate swaps and our forward interest rate swap and simultaneously entered into a new forward interest rate swap that began July 30, 2021. The unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the terminated swaps of $17.8 million at the time of termination will be amortized to interest expense over the course of the originally scheduled settlement dates of the terminated swaps. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we amortized $0.8 million and $2.4 million of the unrealized loss to interest expense, net. As of September 30, 2021, we had one interest rate swap with a fixed notional amount of $200.0 million, a fixed rate of 0.51% and a maturity date of April 15, 2030. This swap serves to hedge substantially all of the variable cash flows on our Term Loan until its maturity and if extended. The assets and liabilities associated with the interest rate swap are included in other long-term assets and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value amounts as described in Note 9, Fair Value Measurements.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. We had no such changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense, net as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. Over the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $4.3 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense, net.
In anticipation of future debt refinancing, on October 27, 2021, we entered into two new forward interest rate swap derivatives. These forward interest rate swaps will begin on December 31, 2021. Each swap has a fixed notional amount of $100.0 million, a fixed rate of 1.37%, and a maturity date of December 15, 2028.
LIBOR is used as a reference rate for our interest rate swap agreements we use to hedge our interest rate exposure. The Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced in March 2021 its intention to extend the publication of certain LIBOR settings, including the setting we use as a reference rate, to June 2023. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848) and in January 2021, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform - Scope, which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The purpose of this guidance is to provide relief for impacted areas as it relates to impending reference rate reform. We elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation.
NOTE 11 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had losses of $1.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The loss as of September 30, 2021 represented the unrealized loss on our terminated interest rate swaps of $10.3 million, net of taxes, less the effective portion of the unrealized gain on our current interest rate swap of $9.3 million, net of taxes. The loss as of December 31, 2020 represented the unrealized loss on our terminated interest rate swaps of $12.2 million, net of taxes, less the effective portion of the unrealized gain on our

forward interest rate swap of $3.4 million, net of taxes. For additional information, see Note 10, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased approximately 443 thousand shares of our common stock with an aggregate price of approximately $15.8 million, or $35.59 average price per share. We did not repurchase any shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. On February 22, 2021, our board of directors authorized an extension of our stock repurchase program through March 1, 2022 and concurrently authorized an increase in the total amount of our outstanding common stock we can purchase up to $100.0 million. As of September 30, 2021, we have $100.0 million remaining on our current stock repurchase program. The effect of these treasury shares in reducing the number of common shares outstanding is reflected in our earnings per share calculation.
Dividends
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we declared and paid the following cash dividends (amount declared and amount paid in thousands):
Declaration Date | Record Date | Payment Date | Dividend Per Share | Amount Declared | Amount Paid | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8/5/2021 | 9/15/2021 | 9/30/2021 | $ | 0.30 | $ | 8,912 | $ | 8,821 |
The amount of dividends declared may vary from the amount of dividends paid in a period due to the vesting of restricted stock awards and performance share awards, which accrue dividend equivalent rights that are paid when the award vests. The payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, results of operations, contractual restrictions, legal requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. We did not declare or pay any cash dividends on our capital stock during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020.
NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Healthcare
We participate in multiple healthcare plans, the largest of which is partially self-funded with an insurance company paying benefits in excess of stop loss limits per individual/family. Our healthcare benefit expense (net of employee contributions) was approximately $6.5 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $20.6 million and $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for all plans. An accrual for estimated healthcare claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) is included within accrued compensation on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $3.2 million and $3.1 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation expense totaled $4.8 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $11.9 million and $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Retirement Plans
We participate in multiple 401(k) plans, whereby we provide a matching contribution of wages deferred by employees and can also make discretionary contributions to each plan. Certain plans allow for discretionary employer contributions only. These plans cover substantially all our eligible employees. We recognized 401(k) plan expenses of $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1.9 million and $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These expenses are included in administrative expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Multiemployer Pension Plans
We participate in various multiemployer pension plans under collective bargaining agreements in Washington, Oregon and Illinois with other companies in the construction industry. These plans cover our union-represented employees and contributions to these plans are expensed as incurred. These plans generally provide for retirement, death and/or termination benefits for eligible employees within the applicable collective bargaining units, based on specific eligibility/participation requirements, vesting periods and benefit formulas. We do not participate in any multiemployer pension plans that are considered to be individually significant.
Share-Based Compensation
Common Stock Awards
We periodically grant shares of our common stock to non-employee members of our board of directors and our employees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we granted approximately four thousand and six thousand shares of our common stock, respectively, under our 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan to non-employee members of our board of directors. The stock will vest over a one year service period.
In addition, we granted approximately seven thousand and three thousand shares during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares of our common stock to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Employees – Performance-Based Stock Awards
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we issued approximately 0.1 million shares of our common stock to certain officers, which vest in two equal installments on each of April 20, 2022 and April 20, 2023. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we established, and our board of directors approved, performance-based targets in connection with common stock awards to be issued to certain officers in 2022 contingent upon achievement of these targets.
In addition, there are long-term performance-based restricted stock awards to be issued to certain employees annually through 2022 contingent upon achievement of certain performance targets. These awards are accounted for as liability-based awards since they represent a predominantly-fixed monetary amount that will be settled with a variable number of common shares in the first quarter of 2022 and as such are included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we granted approximately five thousand and seven thousand shares of our common stock, respectively, all of which will vest in 2022.
Employees – Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
During 2020, we established, and our board of directors approved, performance-based restricted stock units in connection with common stock awards which were issued to certain employees in 2021 based upon achievement of a performance target. In

Other Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, various claims and litigation are asserted or commenced against us principally arising from contractual matters and personnel and employment disputes. In determining loss contingencies, management considers the likelihood of loss as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss or liability. An estimated loss is recorded when it is considered probable that such a liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, we cannot be certain that we will prevail in these matters. However, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any pending matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Contingent consideration is included as “seller obligations” in the above table or within “fair value of assets acquired” if subsequently paid during the period presented. These contingent payments consist primarily of earnouts based on performance that are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition, and/or non-compete agreements and amounts based on working capital calculations. When these payments are expected to be made over one year from the acquisition date, the contingent consideration is discounted to net present value of future payments based on a weighted average of various future forecast scenarios.
Further adjustments to the allocation for each acquisition still under its measurement period are expected as third-party or internal valuations are finalized, certain tax aspects of the transaction are completed, contingent consideration is settled and customary post-closing reviews are concluded during the measurement period attributable to each individual business

NOTE 17 - INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents.
Diluted net income per common share is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury stock method. Potential common stock is included in the diluted income per common share calculation when dilutive. The dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock awards after application of the treasury stock method was 216 thousand and 260 thousand shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and 219 thousand and 188 thousand shares for the three and nine months ended

NOTE 18 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 1, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Denison Glass and Mirror, Inc., for total consideration of approximately $13.7 million. The initial accounting for the business combinations was not complete at the time the financial statements were issued due to the timing of the acquisitions and the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, disclosures required under ASC 805-10-50, Business Combinations cannot be made at this time.
In anticipation of future debt refinancing, on October 27, 2021, we entered into two new forward interest rate swap derivatives. These forward interest rate swaps will begin on December 31, 2021. Each swap has a fixed notional amount of $100.0 million, a fixed rate of 1.37%, and a maturity date of December 15, 2028.
On November 4, 2021, we announced that our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend, payable on December 31, 2021 to stockholders of record on December 15, 2021, at a rate of $0.30 per share.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q, as well as our 2020 Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
We are one of the nation’s largest insulation installers for the residential new construction market and are also a diversified installer of complementary building products, including waterproofing, fire-stopping and fireproofing, garage doors, rain gutters, window blinds, shower doors, closet shelving, mirrors and other products throughout the United States. We offer our portfolio of services for new and existing single-family and multi-family residential and commercial building projects in all 48 continental states and the District of Columbia from our national network of over 190 branch locations. Substantially all of our net revenue comes from service-based installation of these products in the residential new construction, repair and remodel and commercial construction end markets. We believe our business is well positioned to continue to profitably grow over the long-term due to our strong balance sheet, liquidity and our continuing acquisition strategy. See “Key Factors Affecting Our Operating Results, COVID-19 Impacts” below for a discussion of short-term impacts to our business.
A large portion of our net revenue comes from the U.S. residential new construction market, which depends upon a number of economic factors, including demographic trends, interest rates, consumer confidence, employment rates, housing inventory levels, foreclosure rates, the health of the economy and availability of mortgage financing. The strategic acquisitions of multiple companies over the last several years contributed meaningfully to our 21.2% increase in net revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020.
2021 Third Quarter Highlights
Net revenue increased 21.2%, or $89.3 million to $509.8 million, while gross profit increased 18.4% to $155.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020. The increase in net revenue and gross profit was primarily driven by the contribution of our recent acquisitions, selling price and product mix improvements as evidenced by the 7.2% increase in our price/mix metric, and increased sales volume of 4.6% on a same branch basis. Gross profit grew slower than revenue primarily due to higher material costs caused by pandemic-related supply chain constraints, higher fuel costs and reduced efficiencies within the large commercial construction market due to challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic. Inflationary pressure contributed to the year-over-year margin compression as materials, particularly spray foam and several complementary installed products, continued to be difficult to source near volume and pricing levels secured in prior periods. As of September 30, 2021, we had $191.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and we have not drawn on our existing $200 million revolving line of credit.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we experienced growth in all of our end markets and we achieved 11.2% year-over-year same branch sales growth. Our largest end market, the single-family subset of the residential new construction market, grew revenue 23.3% over the same period ended September 30, 2020. Our commercial end market also experienced sales growth during this period due to acquisitions, but we continue to experience project delays due to macroeconomic concerns surrounding the pandemic, resulting in a decline in same branch sales within this market. These fluctuations are shown in further detail in the table below and impacts from COVID-19 are discussed further in the sections that follow.

(6)During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we changed the classification of one of our branches to the large commercial subset of the commercial end market, based on the type of work this branch performs. While this change is immaterial to the sales growth calculations, it affects comparability to the corresponding prior year metric as the change was made prospectively beginning January 1, 2021. We continually evaluate the branch classifications utilized in our sales growth metrics based on changes in our business and operations over time and future changes may occur to these classifications.

(9)The large commercial end market, as a subset of our total commercial market, comprises certain of our branches working on projects constructed primarily out of steel and concrete, which are much larger than our average residential job. This market is excluded from the above same branch price/mix and volume growth metrics as to not skew the rates given the much larger per-job revenue compared to our average job.

We believe the revenue growth measures are important indicators of how our business is performing, however, we may rely on different metrics in the future. We also utilize gross profit percentage as shown in the following section to monitor our most significant variable costs and to evaluate labor efficiency and success at passing increasing costs of materials to customers.

Gross profit percentage | 30.6 | % | 31.3 | % | 30.2 | % | 31.0 | % |
The year-over-year growth in our residential end market was the primary driver of the increase in net revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020 (as shown in the Key Measures of Performance section above). Growth in our residential end market is primarily due to selling price increases, higher volume and the continued success of our acquisition strategy. In our commercial end market, continued challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic continue to have an impact as evidenced by the 5.6% decline in same branch sales within this end market. See “Key Factors Affecting Our Operating Results, COVID-19 Impacts” below for further information. Lastly, our price/mix metric was positively impacted during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as we were able to pass along selling price increases to offset rising material costs. However, on a full year basis, our price/mix improvements during the quarter were offset by a higher volume of insulation sales to production builders compared to the same period last year. This shift within the single-family end market impacted price/mix as the average insulation selling price for entry level production builder jobs is typically lower than a move-up or custom home builder.
As a percentage of net revenue, gross profit decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020. The building products supply chain has experienced significant disruptions in 2021 due in part to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Industry wide supply chain issues continue to impact our operating efficiency, driving our costs higher. In order to meet customer demand during the year, we purchased materials from distributors and home centers at a premium to what we typically would purchase directly from manufacturers. As a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we estimate these purchases increased materials expense by approximately $2.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, therefore reducing gross profit. Demand remains strong, but we anticipate supply chain disruptions will continue into 2022. Gross profit in both periods of 2021 was also impacted by higher year-over-year fuel and union costs, reducing gross profit by a combined 70 basis points and 50 basis points as a percentage of net revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. In addition, the lingering impact of the February 2021 winter storms continued to disrupt our ability to source certain materials during the third quarter. For example, materials needed for spray foam applications were in short supply after the storms as chemical processing facilities went offline.

Selling
The dollar increase in selling expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in selling wages and commissions to support our increased net revenue of 21.2% and 18.4%, respectively. Selling expense as a percentage of sales decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to a
29
lower credit loss provision as collections have remained strong. Selling expense as a percentage of sales decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to the additional loss reserves recorded as a result of adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) during the first quarter of 2020.
Administrative
The dollar increase in administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in wages, benefits and facility costs attributable to both acquisitions and organic growth. Administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to the leverage gained on administrative wages from increased sales.
Amortization
The increase in amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to the increase in finite-lived intangible assets recorded as a result of acquisitions.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our effective tax rate was 26.1% and 23.5%, respectively. The rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was favorably impacted by recognition of a windfall tax benefit from the vesting of share-based compensation. The rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was unfavorably impacted by recognition of a tax shortfall expense from the vesting of share-based compensation.

Net change on cash flow hedges, net of taxes | $ | 1,292 | $ | 1,176 | $ | 7,762 | $ | (4,582) |
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an unrealized gain of $0.7 million, net of tax, on our cash flow hedge and amortized $0.8 million of our remaining unrealized loss on our terminated cash flow hedges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an unrealized gain of $6.0 million, net of tax, and amortized $2.4 million of our remaining unrealized loss on our terminated cash flow hedges. The remaining activity for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was related to the income tax impact on our terminated swaps. The unrealized gains on our cash flow hedge during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, were driven primarily by changes to the
30
projected one-month LIBOR forward curve. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an unrealized gain on our then forward cash flow hedge due to favorable market conditions. The unrealized loss recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 on our now-terminated cash flow hedges were partially driven by market responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information on our cash flow hedges, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources, Derivative Instruments” below.
KEY FACTORS AFFECTING OUR OPERATING RESULTS
Cost and availability of Materials
We typically purchase the materials that we install directly from manufacturers. The industry supply of these materials has
experienced disruptions in the past. In 2021, the industry supply of many of the materials we install was disrupted due to the higher demand for materials and the supply chain issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and February 2021 winter storms. This has forced us to buy some materials at higher prices through distributors and local retailers to meet customer demand. The pandemic has also resulted in the need for some of our manufacturers to allocate materials across the industry which has affected the pricing and availability of those materials. We expect the supply chain disruptions affecting most of the materials used throughout our installation work to continue into 2022.
In addition, we experience price increases from our suppliers from time to time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we saw increased pricing for fiberglass insulation and many of the other products we install and expect manufacturers to seek additional price increases during the year. Increased market pricing, regardless of the catalyst, has and could continue to impact our results of operations in 2021 and 2022, to the extent that price increases cannot be passed on to our customers. We will continue to work with our customers to adjust selling prices to offset higher costs as they occur. See “COVID-19 Impacts” below for a discussion of the short-term impacts of the current economic climate on the availability of the materials we install.
Cost of Labor
Our business is labor intensive and the majority of our employees work as installers on local construction sites. We expect to spend more to hire, train and retain installers to support our growing business in 2021, as tight labor availability continues within the construction industry. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, which many of our local competitors are not able to provide, which will increase costs as we hire additional personnel. Our workers’ compensation costs may continue to rise as we increase our coverage for additional personnel.
Despite temporary layoffs and furloughs driven by branch closures during portions of the first and second quarters of 2020 as a response to the effects of COVID-19, we experienced strong employee retention, turnover and labor efficiency rates in the year ended December 31, 2020, which continued into the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We believe this is partially a result of various programs meant to benefit our employees, including our financial wellness plan, longevity stock compensation plan for employees and assistance from the Installed Building Products Foundation meant to benefit our employees, their families and their communities. While improved retention drives lower costs to recruit and train new employees, resulting in greater installer productivity, these improvements are somewhat offset by the additional costs of these incentives. See “COVID-19 Impacts” below for a discussion of the short-term impacts of the current economic climate on our workforce.
COVID-19 Impacts
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, the virus has spread globally, including to the United States. In response, the World Health Organization declared the situation a pandemic and the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. Many public health organizations and international, federal, state and local governments implemented measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 during portions of 2020. Some of these measures include restrictions on movement such as quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing ordinances and restricting or prohibiting outright some or all forms of commercial and business activity. While portions of the economy have since reopened, there is still significant uncertainty surrounding the duration and scope of the pandemic, as well as its impact on the economy. We cannot predict if federal, state and local governments will implement additional restrictions, when restrictions currently in place will expire or whether restrictions currently in place will become more limiting.
While the COVID-19 pandemic and related events will likely have a negative effect on us in the remainder of 2021 and into 2022, the full extent and scope of the impact on our business and industry, as well as national, regional and global markets and economies, depends on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, additional government actions taken in response to the pandemic, the impact on construction activity
31
and demand for homes (based on employment levels, consumer spending and consumer confidence). Most economic forecasts show the U.S. housing market outlook as positive for 2021, with total housing starts forecast as higher than 2020. As evidence of this trend, total U.S. housing market completions were up 6.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020. In addition, U.S. housing starts increased 19.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020, which highlights the continued recovery in housing demand that should serve to help offset prolonged impacts of the pandemic already experienced. In the commercial sector, we have experienced some impact to our commercial business, mainly in the form of project start delays and inefficiencies due to social distancing requirements in some areas. In the future, certain large-scale infrastructure programs may be at risk if the need for such structures decline, project funding declines or as consumer behaviors change in the wake of COVID-19 disruptions to the economy and changes to our general ways of life. For example, reduced demand for office buildings and/or educational facilities, decreased airport traffic, or decreased usage of sports arenas or similar commercial structures could impact our commercial end market.
Our management remains focused on mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the risk to our employees and customers. We have taken a number of precautionary measures intended to mitigate these risks, including increasing the frequency of regular cleaning and disinfecting processes at our facilities, adhering to social distancing protocols, limiting the number of workers on our jobsites, temporarily suspending non-essential air travel and periodically allowing employees to work remotely when possible. As is common practice in our industry, installers are required to wear protective equipment in the process of completing their work and this practice has been extended to employees at our facilities and within general office spaces. We are prepared to take additional actions if necessary as suggested or required by various health agencies. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") issued an emergency temporary standard ("ETS") on November 4th, 2021 requiring all U.S. private businesses with 100 or more employees to ensure that their employees are fully vaccinated or require unvaccinated workers to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. OSHA is exempting certain workers from the requirements. This ETS may be subject to numerous legal challenges.
We continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Other than branches that serve states where construction was not deemed “essential” during portions of 2020, we have experienced limited business disruptions to date and therefore have not needed to implement significant continuity measures and have not incurred significant related expenditures. Assuming a large number of additional states or markets in which we operate do not reverse their current positions about construction being an “essential” business, we do not anticipate having to implement any additional measures in the future.
Our corporate office remains fully operational. As such, we have made no modifications to internal controls over financial reporting and have confidence controls are operating as designed. We have enhanced our efforts to mitigate cyber threats and phishing, given some employees are still working remotely. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact of their design and operating effectiveness.
We expect some impact from the pandemic to our earnings, financial position and cash flows to continue in the remainder of 2021, however there is much uncertainty surrounding the estimated magnitude of these impacts. We estimate limited impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheets other than a potential reduction in working capital due to the possibility of reduced net revenue and net income. Trade accounts receivable may also be reduced somewhat by lower net revenue and a higher allowance for credit losses due to enhanced risk of collectibility from some customers, although we have not seen a significant impact to date. We anticipate revenue and net income may continue to be negatively impacted during the remainder of 2021 into 2022 due to supply constraints and/or material price increases. While our cash from operations may decline over recent performance due to a decrease in expected net income driven by lower net revenue, we do not anticipate any issues meeting debt obligations or making timely payments to vendors given our strong liquidity and large cash reserves. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information. Given the continued uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential effects, it is not possible to estimate the full, adverse impact to our future 2021 or 2022 sales or other financial results at this time.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES Act") was signed into law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provision and other stimulus measures. We have benefited from the temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes. As of December 31, 2020, we deferred $20.7 million of payments, depending on the number of employees, that would have been paid during 2020, such that under the CARES Act, 50% of the amount will now be paid on December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% will be paid on December 31, 2022. It is important to note that this does not impact the timing of the expense, only the timing of the payment. We also benefited from the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits and the technical correction for qualified leasehold improvements, which provides for tax bonus depreciation.
32
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our capital resources primarily consist of cash from operations and borrowings under our various debt agreements and capital equipment leases and loans. Our primary capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, operating expenses, acquisitions and capital expenditures and to meet required principal and interest payments. We may also use our resources to fund our optional stock repurchase program and dividend program. As discussed above, our cash reserves may also be used to fund payroll and other short-term requirements if our business is affected significantly by COVID-19. As of September 30, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under our asset-based lending credit facility (as defined below).
We believe that our cash flows from operations, combined with our current cash levels and borrowing availability, will be adequate to support our ongoing operations and to fund our debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital for at least the next 12 months as evidenced by our net positive cash flows from operating activities for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. We believe that we have access to additional funds, if needed, through the capital markets to obtain further debt financing under the current market conditions.
While the general economic environment within the United States and most markets around the world have been significantly impacted by the spread of COVID-19, prompting governmental and health agencies to issue unprecedented orders to close businesses not deemed “essential” during portions of 2021 and 2020, we believe we have robust capital resources at our immediate disposal to meet our needs. We have cash and cash equivalents of $191.4 million as of September 30, 2021 as well as access to $200.0 million under our ABL Revolver, less $44.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. This amount available to us is based on eligible collateral, which may be reduced over time. While our cash from operations could decline later in 2021 due to COVID-19 impacts as described above, we believe it will remain at a level to fund our operations and not require us to draw on our ABL Revolver. However, as necessary or desirable, we may adjust or amend the terms of our credit facilities. With the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, our ability to engage in such transactions may be constrained by volatile credit market conditions. See Part II - Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors for more information on the potential impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic strain.
LIBOR is used as a reference rate for our Term Loan, as hereinafter defined, and our interest rate swap agreements we use to hedge our interest rate exposure. In 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the authority that regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021, and it is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established. The Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced in March 2021 its intention to extend the publication of certain LIBOR settings, including the setting we use as a reference rate, to June 2023. Our Term Loan Agreement, 2021 interest rate swap agreements and ABL Credit Agreement include a provision related to the potential discontinuance of LIBOR to be replaced with one or more Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) values or another alternate benchmark rate. However, if LIBOR ceases to exist after 2023, the interest rates under the alternative rate could be higher than LIBOR. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848) and in January 2021, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform - Scope, which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The purpose of this guidance is to provide relief for impacted areas as it relates to impending reference rate reform. We elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

(1)Total liquidity reflects full borrowing base capacity under our asset-based lending credit facility (as defined below) and may be limited by certain cash collateral limitations depending upon the status of our borrowing base availability. These potential deductions would lower our available cash and cash equivalents balance shown in the table above. As of September 30, 2021, total liquidity would not be reduced due to these cash collateral limitations. In addition, total liquidity is further reduced by $5.3 million within cash and cash equivalents above which was deposited into a trust to serve as additional collateral for our workers’ compensation and general liability policies. This amount can be converted to a letter of credit at our discretion and would reduce the availability on our asset-based lending credit facility (as defined below) included in the table above.
Debt
5.75% Senior Notes due 2028
In September 2019, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on February 1, 2028 and interest is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year until maturity. The indenture covering the Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and certain of our subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) to: (i) incur additional debt and issue preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase stock in an aggregate amount exceeding 2.0% of market capitalization per fiscal year, or in an aggregate amount exceeding certain applicable restricted payment baskets; (iii) prepay subordinated debt; (iv) create liens; (v) make specified types of investments; (vi) apply net proceeds from certain asset sales; (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets; and (ix) pay dividends and make other distributions from subsidiaries.
Credit Facilities
In December 2019, we amended and restated our $400.0 million, seven-year term loan facility due April 30, 2025 (the “Term Loan”) under our credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”), dated as of April 13, 2017 (as previously amended by the First Amendment thereto dated November 30, 2017 and by the Second Amendment thereto dated June 19, 2018). The amended Term Loan: (i) effects a repricing of the interest rate applicable to the term loans thereunder from LIBOR plus 2.50% to LIBOR plus 2.25% and (ii) replaces Royal Bank of Canada with Bank of America, N.A. as the administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder. As of September 30, 2021, we had $198.9 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, due on our Term Loan. The amended Term Loan also has a margin of 1.25% in the case of base rate loans.
In September 2019, we entered into a new asset-based lending credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”). The ABL Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based lending credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) of up to $200.0 million with a five-year maturity, which replaced the Company’s previous revolving credit facility. Borrowing availability under the ABL Revolver is based on a percentage of the value of certain assets securing the Company’s obligations and those of the subsidiary guarantors thereunder. In connection with the Amended and Restated Term Loan, we entered into a Second Amendment to the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as ABL Agent for the lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement, and Bank of America, N.A., as Term Loan Agent for the lenders under the Amended and Restated Term Loan. Including outstanding letters of credit, our remaining availability under the ABL Revolver as of September 30, 2021 was $155.7 million.
All of the obligations under the Term Loan and ABL Revolver are guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing restricted subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by the Company’s future restricted subsidiaries. Additionally, all obligations under the Term Loan and ABL Revolver, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, including a first-priority security interest in such assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral, as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement, and a second-priority security interest in such assets that constitute Term Loan Priority Collateral, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement.
34
The ABL Revolver bears interest at either the Eurodollar rate or the base rate (which approximated the prime rate), at the Company’s election, plus a margin of (A) 1.25% or 1.50% in the case of Eurodollar rate loans (based on a measure of availability under the ABL Credit Agreement) and (B) 0.25% or 0.50% in the case of base rate loans (based on a measure of availability under the ABL Credit Agreement).
The ABL Revolver also provides incremental revolving credit facility commitments of up to $50.0 million. The terms and conditions of any incremental revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the terms of the ABL Revolver. The ABL Revolver also allows for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $75.0 million in aggregate and borrowing of swingline loans of up to $20.0 million in aggregate.
The ABL Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring the satisfaction of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0x in the event that we do not meet a minimum measure of availability under the ABL Revolver. The ABL Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and certain of our subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) to: (i) incur additional debt and issue preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase stock in an aggregate amount exceeding 2.0% of market capitalization per fiscal year, or in an aggregate amount exceeding certain applicable restricted payment baskets; (iii) prepay subordinated debt; (iv) create liens; (v) make specified types of investments; (vi) apply net proceeds from certain asset sales; (vii) engage in transactions with affiliates; (viii) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets; and (ix) pay dividends and make other distributions from subsidiaries.
At September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Term Loan Agreement, ABL Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes and we currently do not expect any covenant violations due to the impacts of COVID-19.
Derivative Instruments
In August 2020, we terminated our two existing interest rate swaps and our forward interest rate swap and simultaneously entered into a new interest rate swap that began July 30, 2021. The unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the terminated swaps of $17.8 million at the time of termination will be amortized to interest expense over the course of the originally scheduled settlement dates of the terminated swaps. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we amortized $2.4 million of the unrealized loss to interest expense, net. As of September 30, 2021, we had one interest rate swap with a fixed notional amount of $200.0 million, a fixed rate of 0.51% and a maturity date of April 15, 2030. This swap serves to hedge substantially all of the variable cash flows on our Term Loan until its maturity and if extended. The assets and liabilities associated with the interest rate swap are included in other long-term assets and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value amounts as described in Note 9, Fair Value Measurements. In anticipation of future debt refinancing, on October 27, 2021, we entered into two new forward interest rate swap derivatives. These forward interest rate swaps will begin on December 31, 2021. Each swap has a fixed notional amount of $100.0 million, a fixed rate of 1.37%, and a maturity date of December 15, 2028.
Vehicle and Equipment Notes
We have financing loan agreements with various lenders to provide financing for the purpose of purchasing or leasing vehicles and equipment used in the normal course of business. Vehicles and equipment purchased or leased under each financing arrangement serve as collateral for the note applicable to such financing arrangement. Regular payments are due under each note for a period of typically 60 consecutive months after the incurrence of the obligation. As of September 30, 2021, we had $68.8 million due on these various loan agreements.
Total gross assets relating to our Master Loan and Equipment Agreements were $135.4 million and $132.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The net book value of assets under these agreements was $66.4 million and $65.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Depreciation of assets held under these agreements is included within cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. See Note 7, Long-term Debt, for more information regarding our Master Loan and Security Agreement, Master Equipment Agreement and Master Loan Agreements.
35
Letters of Credit and Bonds
We may use performance bonds to ensure completion of our work on certain larger customer contracts that can span multiple accounting periods. Performance bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. In addition, we occasionally use letters of credit and cash to secure our performance under our general liability and workers’ compensation insurance programs. Permit and license bonds are typically issued for one year and are required by certain municipalities when we obtain licenses and permits to perform work in their jurisdictions.
The following table summarizes our outstanding bonds, letters of credit and cash-collateral (in thousands):
As of September 30, 2021 | |||||
Performance bonds | $ | 59,891 | |||
Insurance letters of credit and cash collateral | 50,716 | ||||
Permit and license bonds | 8,439 | ||||
Total bonds and letters of credit | $ | 119,046 |
We deposited $5.3 million into a trust in 2020 to serve as additional collateral for our workers’ compensation and general liability policies. This collateral can be converted to a letter of credit at our discretion and is therefore not considered to be restricted cash.
Historical cash flow information
Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $116.5 million and $143.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Generally, the primary driver of our cash flows from operating activities is operating income adjusted for certain noncash items, offset by cash payments for taxes and interest on our outstanding debt. Our cash flows from operations can be impacted by the timing of our cash collections on sales and collection of retainage amounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we saw a decrease in cash from operations from the same period in 2020 primarily due to higher volume of inventory purchases to support our growth and increased pricing on inventory due to price inflation on materials.
We may see a reduction in cash inflows in future quarters depending on pandemic impacts on housing starts and commercial projects, as well as larger cash outflows to acquire materials at a premium. See “Key Factors Affecting Our Operating Results, COVID-19 Impacts” above for further information on short-term impacts to our cash from operations.
Cash flows from investing activities
Business Combinations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we made cash payments, net of cash acquired, of $94.5 million and $38.8 million, respectively, on various business combinations. The amount of cash paid is dependent on various factors, including the size and determined value of the business being acquired. See Note 16, Business Combinations, for more information regarding our acquisitions in 2021 and 2020.
Capital Expenditures. Total cash paid for property and equipment was $27.9 million and $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was primarily related to purchases of vehicles and various equipment to support our growing operations. We expect to continue to support any increases in future net revenue through further capital expenditures. A majority of these capital expenditures were subsequently reimbursed via various vehicle and equipment notes payable, with related cash inflows shown in cash flows from financing activities.
Other. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we invested $0.8 million in short-term investments consisting primarily of corporate bonds and commercial paper and had $37.5 million in short-term investments mature. We have temporarily discontinued investment purchases due to the relatively low returns provided from current interest rates associated with traditional investments, but may resume such activity in the future.
36
Cash flows from financing activities
We utilize our credit facilities and Senior Notes to support our operations and continuing acquisitions as well as fund our discretionary stock repurchase program and pay dividends. The largest cash outflow from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was payment of three quarterly dividends of $26.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we received proceeds of $20.8 million and $17.8 million, respectively, from our fixed asset loans which serve to offset a significant portion of the capital expenditures included in cash outflows from investing activities as described above. We made payments on these fixed asset loans and various other notes payable of $19.7 million and $19.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We also made $1.6 million and $2.0 million in principal payments on our finance leases and paid $2.4 million and $3.9 million of acquisition-related obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Lastly, we paid $15.8 million to repurchase 443 thousand shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Contractual Obligations
We had no significant changes to our obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including with respect to the housing market and the commercial market, industry conditions, our financial and business model, payments of dividends, the impact of COVID-19 on our business and end markets, the demand for our services and product offerings, trends in the commercial business, expansion of our national footprint and end markets, diversification of our products, our ability to grow and strengthen our market position, our ability to pursue and integrate value-enhancing acquisitions, our ability to improve sales and profitability, our efforts to navigate the material pricing environment, our ability to increase selling prices, our material and labor costs, supply chain and material constraints, the impact of COVID-19 on our financial results and expectations for demand for our services and our earnings in 2021 and 2022. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “possible,” “forecast,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intends,” “plan,” and “will” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Any forward-looking statements that we make herein and in any future reports and statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the duration, effect and severity of the COVID-19 crisis; any recurrence of COVID-19, including through any new variant strains of the virus, and the related surges in positive COVID-19 cases; the adverse impact of the COVID-19 crisis on our business and financial results, our supply chain, the economy and the markets we serve; general economic and industry conditions; the material price and supply environment; the timing of increases in our selling prices and the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the same may be updated from time to time in our subsequent filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this
37
report speaks only as of the date hereof. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time and it is impossible for the Company to predict these events or how they may affect it. The Company has no obligation, and does not intend, to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal securities laws.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2021, we had $198.9 million outstanding on the Term Loan, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, no outstanding borrowings on the ABL Revolver and no outstanding borrowings under finance leases subject to variable interest rates. As of September 30, 2021, we have one interest rate swap with a fixed notional amount of $200.0 million that serves to hedge substantially all of the variable cash flows on our Term Loan until its maturity and if extended. As a result, we had no variable rate debt that was exposed to market risks as of September 30, 2021. A hypothetical one percentage point increase (decrease) in interest rates on our variable rate debt would not increase (decrease) our annual interest expense. In anticipation of future debt refinancing, on October 27, 2021, we entered into two new forward interest rate swap derivatives. These forward interest rate swaps will begin on December 31, 2021. Each swap has a fixed notional amount of $100.0 million, a fixed rate of 1.37%, and a maturity date of December 15, 2028. Our Senior Notes accrued interest at a fixed rate of 5.75%.
For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. We have not entered into and currently do not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
LIBOR is used as a reference rate for our Term Loan and our interest rate swap agreements we use to hedge our interest rate exposure. In 2017, the FCA announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021, and it is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established. The Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced in March 2021 its intention to extend the publication of certain LIBOR settings, including the setting we use as a reference rate, to June 2023. Our Term Loan Agreement, 2021 interest rate swap agreements and ABL Credit Agreement include a provision related to the potential discontinuance of LIBOR to be replaced with one or more Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) values or another alternate benchmark rate. However, if LIBOR ceases to exist after 2023, the interest rates under the alternative rate could be higher than LIBOR. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848) and in January 2021, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform - Scope, which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The purpose of this guidance is to provide relief for impacted areas as it relates to impending reference rate reform. We elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) as required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that some of the employees at our corporate office are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K, other than below, which is an update to the risk factor included in the "Risks to our business from external threats" section of our 2020 Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on the U.S. economy as well as our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
According to the World Health Organization (“WHO”), in December 2019 China reported a cluster of cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, Hubei Province later identified as a novel strain of coronavirus. In response, the WHO declared the situation a pandemic and the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has declared a public health emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. Many public health organizations and international, federal, state and local governments implemented measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 during 2020. Some of these measures included restrictions on movement such as quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing ordinances and restricting or prohibiting outright some or all forms of commercial and business activity. While portions of the economy have reopened, there is still significant uncertainty surrounding the duration and scope of the pandemic, as well as its continued impact on the economy. We cannot predict if federal, state and local governments will implement additional restrictions, when restrictions currently in place will expire or whether restrictions currently in place will become more restrictive.
COVID-19 adversely affected many industries as well as the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the United States, causing a significant deceleration of economic activity during a portion of 2020. This slowdown reduced production, decreased the level of trade, and led to widespread corporate downsizing, causing a sharp increase in unemployment in 2020 from which the economy is still recovering. The continued impact of this pandemic on the U.S. and world economies is uncertain and these adverse impacts could worsen, impacting all segments of the global economy, and result in a significant recession or worse.
Our business has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the global response. The Company and its customers’ businesses were classified as “essential” businesses in most of the jurisdictions in which we operate, permitting us to continue operations in most of our markets when COVID-19-related shutdowns occurred during 2020. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will continue to be classified as “essential” in the future, or that we will not voluntarily limit or cease operations in one or more of our markets if we believe it is in our best interest. For example, during portions of March, April and May of 2020, we saw a temporary but significant reduction in activity in our branches located in seven states and the Bay Area of California, which collectively accounted for 10% of our net revenue during the year ended December 31, 2019. The reduced activity in these areas was attributable to construction being temporarily deemed non-essential during that time period. While operations have resumed to normal levels in all of these areas, future mandatory shutdowns or reductions in operations could have a material adverse effect on our business. During 2020, we laid off or furloughed approximately 600 employees in areas where construction was not deemed “essential.” We have since rehired or brought back substantially all of those employees, but we may need to layoff or furlough other employees in the future. Any employee layoffs or furloughs associated with future branch closures or slowdowns are assumed to be temporary in nature but could result in long-term labor shortages in certain markets if we cannot rehire these employees once operations resume.
While the U.S. housing industry has quickly rebounded from the initial onset of the pandemic in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse impact on our customers and the homebuilding industry in the future, as it has reduced employment levels and may adversely affect consumer spending or consumer confidence, which would typically decrease demand for homes. In the commercial sector, we have experienced delays in the onset of certain large-scale infrastructure programs due to declining need for such structures and/or project funding declines. Commercial projects could decline in the future if consumer behaviors change in the wake of COVID-19 disruptions to the economy and changes to our general ways of life. For example, reduced demand for office buildings, decreased airport traffic or decreased usage of sports arenas could impact our commercial end market.

The industry is currently experiencing manufacturer supply constraints for many of the materials we install due to an unanticipated increase in demand as well as manufacturing curtailments due to COVID-19. These factors have affected our ability to complete installation work for certain customers during 2021 and have also required us to source many of the materials we install from distributors and retail outlets at a premium. These higher costs have had an adverse impact on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. For example, we estimate our cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are approximately $2.0 million and $7.0 million higher than they would have been if we purchased these materials through regular channels. We anticipate this trend of higher materials costs as a result of disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to continue into 2022.
Our management is focused on mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the risk to our employees, which has partially diverted management’s attention away from normal business operations. Additionally, we have taken a number of precautionary measures intended to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the risk to our employees, including increasing the frequency of regular cleaning and disinfecting processes at our facilities, adhering to social distancing protocols, limiting the number of workers on jobsites, temporarily suspending non-essential air travel and periodically allowing employees to work remotely when possible, which could adversely affect our business. Despite these measures, our key management personnel and/or a portion of our installer base could become temporarily or permanently incapacitated by COVID-19 or related complications. This could result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. While these and other measures we may take are believed to be temporary, they may continue until the pandemic is contained or indefinitely and could increase costs and amplify existing risks or introduce new risks that could adversely affect our business, including, but not limited to, internal controls and cybersecurity risks. Additionally, OSHA issued an ETS on November 4th, 2021 requiring all U.S. private businesses with 100 or more employees to ensure that their employees are fully vaccinated or require unvaccinated workers to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. This ETS may be subject to numerous legal challenges. At this time, we cannot predict the impact of the ETS on us and the degree to which our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Considerable uncertainty still surrounds COVID-19 and its potential effects, and the extent of and effectiveness of any responses taken on a local, national and global level. To date, vaccines have been developed and treatments have improved, but it is too soon to know if they will protect against a worsening of the pandemic due to new variants of the virus or other factors, or to prevent COVID-19 from becoming endemic. While we expect the COVID-19 pandemic and related events may have a negative effect on us in the future, the full extent and scope of the impact on our business and industry, as well as national, regional and global markets and economies, depends on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, additional government actions taken in response to the pandemic, the impact on construction activity and demand for homes (based on employment levels, consumer spending and consumer confidence). Accordingly, our ability to conduct our business in the manner previously or currently expected could be materially and negatively affected, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
