1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
TopBuild was formed on June 30, 2015, and is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “BLD.” We report our business in two segments: Installation and Distribution. Our Installation segment primarily installs insulation and other building products. Our Distribution segment primarily sells and distributes insulation and other building products. Our segments are based on our operating units, for which financial information is regularly evaluated by our chief operating decision maker.
We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to state fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2021, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Statement Presentation. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been developed in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. All significant intercompany transactions between TopBuild entities have been eliminated.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles included in current guidance, as well as improving consistent application of and simplifying GAAP for other areas by clarifying and amending existing guidance. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2021, using the modified retrospective method related to franchise taxes. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment recorded as of the beginning of 2021.
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the current incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology, referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. We adopted Topic 326 on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method, which resulted in a $3.2 million cumulative-effect adjustment recorded through retained earnings at the beginning of 2020.

The following table summarizes additional ASUs which were adopted, but did not have a material impact on our accounting policies or our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures:
ASU | Description | Period Adopted | Method | ||
ASU 2021-01 | Reference Rate Reform | 01/01/21 | Prospective | ||
ASU 2017-04 | Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment | 01/01/20 | Prospective | ||
ASU 2018-13 | Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement | 01/01/20 | Prospective |
3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is disaggregated between our Installation and Distribution segments and further based on market and product, as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following tables present our revenues disaggregated by market (in thousands):

The increase in contract assets as of September 30, 2021 is primarily driven by an increase in organic sales as well as sales from our acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The aggregate amount remaining on uncompleted performance obligations was $303.9 million as of September 30, 2021. We expect to satisfy the performance obligations and recognize revenue on substantially all of these uncompleted contracts over the next 18 months.
Certain customer contracts contain provisions whereby customers are entitled to withhold an agreed upon percentage of the total contract value until the customer’s project is satisfactorily complete. This amount held back is referred to as retainage and is a common practice in the construction industry. Retainage receivables are classified as a component of accounts receivable.
4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
We have two reporting units which are also our operating and reporting segments: Installation and Distribution. Both reporting units contain goodwill. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the applicable reporting unit based on whether the acquired assets and liabilities relate to the operations of and determination of the fair value of such unit. Goodwill assigned to the reporting unit is the excess of the fair value of the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the reporting unit.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, we performed an annual assessment on our goodwill resulting in no impairment.

Amendment to Original Credit Agreement and Senior Secured Term Loan Facility
On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into an Amendment to our Original Credit Agreement (as so amended, the Amended Credit Agreement). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, all of which was drawn on March 8, 2021 and a Revolving Facility with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $450.0 million, including a $100.0 million letter of credit sublimit and up to a $35.0 million swingline sublimit.
The maturity date for the loans under the Amended Credit Agreement was extended from March 2025 to March 2026, the floor for base rate loans has been reduced from 1.5% to 1.0%, and the floor for Eurodollar rate loans has been reduced from 0.5% to 0.0%. Additional provisions have also been made for the eventual replacement of LIBOR with another alternate benchmark rate.
The following table outlines the key terms of our Amended Credit Agreement (dollars in thousands):
Senior secured term loan facility | $ | 300,000 | |
Additional term loan and/or revolver capacity available under incremental facility (a) | $ | 300,000 | |
Revolving Facility | $ | 450,000 | |
Sublimit for issuance of letters of credit under Revolving Facility (b) | $ | 100,000 | |
Sublimit for swingline loans under Revolving Facility (b) | $ | 35,000 | |
Interest rate as of September 30, 2021 | 1.08 | % | |
Scheduled maturity date | 3/20/2026 |
(a) | Additional borrowing capacity is available under the incremental facility, subject to certain terms and conditions (including existing or new lenders providing commitments in respect of such additional borrowing capacity). |
(b) | Use of the sublimits for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline loans reduces the availability under the Revolving Facility. |
Interest payable on borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement is based on an applicable margin rate plus, at our option, either:
● | A base rate determined by reference to the highest of either (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent, (ii) BofA’s “prime rate,” and (iii) the LIBOR rate for U.S. dollar deposits with a term of one month, plus 1.00 percent; or |
● | A LIBOR rate (or a comparable successor rate) determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in U.S. dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowings, subject to a floor of 0%. |
The Amended Credit Agreement contemplates future amendment by the Company and the agent to provide for the replacement of LIBOR with another alternate benchmark rate, giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks, including any related mathematical or other applicable adjustments.
The applicable margin rate is determined based on our Secured Leverage Ratio. In the case of base rate borrowings, the applicable margin rate ranges from 0.00 percent to 1.00 percent and in the case of LIBOR rate borrowings, the applicable margin ranges from 1.00 percent to 2.50 percent. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are prepayable at the Company’s option without premium or penalty. The Company is required to make prepayments with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and certain extraordinary receipts.
Revolving Facility
The Company has outstanding standby letters of credit that secure our financial obligations related to our workers’ compensation, general insurance, and auto liability programs. These standby letters of credit, as well as any outstanding amount borrowed under our Revolving Facility, reduce the availability under the Revolving Facility.

Less: standby letters of credit | (68,111) | (60,382) | ||||
Availability under Revolving Facility | $ | 381,889 | $ | 389,618 |
We are required to pay commitment fees to the Lenders in respect of any unutilized commitments. The commitment fees range from 0.15 percent to 0.275 percent per annum, depending on our Secured Leverage Ratio. We must also pay customary fees on outstanding letters of credit.
Senior Notes
On March 15, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% Senior Notes due 2029. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the 3.625% Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem 100% of its $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2026. The 3.625% Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at 3.625% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, which begins on September 15, 2021. The 3.625% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2029, unless redeemed early or repurchased. If we undergo a change in control, we must make an offer to repurchase all of the Senior Notes then outstanding at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to, but not including, the repurchase date.
The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2024 at the redemption prices specified in the Notes. The Company may also redeem all or part of the Notes at any time prior to March 15, 2024 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture), as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date. Additionally, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes prior to March 15, 2024 with the net cash proceeds of certain sales of its capital stock at 103.625% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption only if, after the redemption, at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued remains outstanding.
Equipment Notes
As of December 31, 2020, the company has issued $41.6 million of equipment notes for the purpose of financing the purchase of vehicles and equipment. No equipment notes were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company’s equipment notes each have a five year term maturing from 2023 to 2024 and bear interest at fixed rates between 2.8% and 4.4%.
13
Covenant Compliance
The indenture governing our 3.625% Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, generally limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) to (i) create liens, (ii) pay dividends, acquire shares of capital stock and make payments on subordinated debt, (iii) place limitations on distributions from certain subsidiaries, (iv) issue or sell the capital stock of certain subsidiaries, (v) sell assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates and (vii) effect mergers. The indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of covenants or other agreements in the indenture; defaults in failure to pay certain other indebtedness; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the indenture, the trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the 3.625% Senior Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the 3.625% Senior Notes immediately due and payable. The 3.625% Senior Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and we are not required to register either the 3.625% Senior Notes or the guarantees in the future.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness or liens; to make certain investments or loans; to make certain restricted payments; to enter into consolidations, mergers, sales of material assets, and other fundamental changes; to transact with affiliates; to enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to incur liens or pay dividends; or to make certain accounting changes. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default.
The Amended Credit Agreement requires that we maintain a Net Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio throughout the term of the agreement. The following table outlines the key financial covenants effective for the period covered by this Quarterly Report:
| As of September 30, 2021 | |
Maximum Net Leverage Ratio | 3.50:1.00 | |
Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio | 3.00:1.00 | |
Compliance as of period end | In Compliance |
6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value on Recurring Basis
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, net, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. We measure our contingent consideration liabilities related to business combinations at fair value. For more information see Note 13 – Business Combinations.
Fair Value on Non-Recurring Basis
Fair value measurements were applied to our long-term debt portfolio. We believe the carrying value of our term loan approximates the fair market value primarily due to the fact that the non-performance risk of servicing our debt obligations, as reflected in our business and credit risk profile, has not materially changed since we assumed our debt obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, due to the floating-rate nature of our term loan, the market value is not subject to variability solely due to changes in the general level of interest rates as is the case with a fixed-rate debt obligation. Based on market trades of our 3.625% Senior Notes close to September 30, 2021 (Level 1 fair value measurement), we estimate that the fair value of the 3.625% Senior Notes is approximately $404 million compared to a gross carrying value of $400 million at September 30, 2021.

8. LEASES
We have operating leases for our installation branch locations, distribution centers, our Branch Support Center in Daytona Beach, Florida, vehicles and certain equipment. In addition, we lease certain operating facilities from related parties, primarily former owners (and in certain cases, current management personnel) of companies acquired. These related party leases are immaterial to our consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, we did not have any finance leases.

9. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates were 25.7 percent and 24.7 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, were 25.5 percent and 22.6 percent, respectively. The higher 2021 tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 was due to permanent items including share-based compensation partially offset by state tax adjustments and a favorable return to accrual adjustment.
A tax expense of $0.1 million and a tax benefit of $3.2 million related to share-based compensation was recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as a discrete item in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

10. INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents.
Diluted net income per share is calculated by adjusting the number of weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury stock method.
Basic and diluted net income per share were computed as follows:

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective July 1, 2015, our eligible employees commenced participation in the 2015 LTIP. The 2015 LTIP authorizes the Board to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards, and dividend equivalents. All grants are made by issuing new shares and no more than 4.0 million shares of common stock may be issued under the 2015 LTIP. As of September 30, 2021, we had 2.0 million shares remaining available for issuance under the 2015 LTIP.

Contingent Consideration
The acquisition of Viking included a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by TopBuild based on the achievement of annual gross revenue targets over a three-year period ending July 15, 2022. The range of undiscounted amounts TopBuild may be required to pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $1.5 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $1.2 million was estimated by applying the income approach using discounted cash flows. That measure is based on significant Level 3 inputs not observable in the market. The significant assumption includes a of 10.0%. Changes in the fair value measurement each period reflect the passage of time as well as the impact of adjustments, if any, to the likelihood of achieving the specified targets. We made a contingent payment of $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The acquisition of Cooper includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by TopBuild based on the achievement of annual gross revenue targets over a two-year period ending February 20, 2022. The range of undiscounted amounts TopBuild may be required to pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $1.0 million, which also represents the fair value recognized on the acquisition date. Changes in the fair value measurement each period reflect the passage of time as well as the impact of adjustments, if any, to the likelihood of achieving the specified targets. We made a contingent payment of $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the remaining liability for contingent consideration has been released with no further payments anticipated.
The acquisition of Valley includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by TopBuild based on the achievement of annual gross revenue targets over a two-year period ending August 23, 2023. The range of undiscounted amounts TopBuild may be required to pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between zero and $1.2 million, which also represents the fair value recognized on the acquisition date. Changes in the fair value measurement each period reflect the passage of time as well as the impact of adjustments, if any, to the likelihood of achieving the specified targets.

15. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation. We are subject to certain claims, charges, litigation, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, product recalls, construction defects, insurance coverage, personnel and employment disputes, antitrust, and other matters, including class actions. We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters, and we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on us. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in any of these pending matters, and we could in the future incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims, or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our liquidity and our results of operations.
Other Matters. We enter into contracts, which include customary indemnities that are standard for the industries in which we operate. Such indemnities include, among other things, customer claims against builders for issues relating to our products and workmanship. In conjunction with divestitures and other transactions, we occasionally provide customary indemnities relating to various items including, among others, the enforceability of trademarks, legal and environmental issues, and asset valuations. We evaluate the probability that we may incur liabilities under these customary indemnities and appropriately record an estimated liability when deemed probable.
We also maintain indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may require us to indemnify them against liabilities that arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, except as prohibited by applicable law.
We occasionally 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. We also have bonds outstanding for license and insurance.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 6, 2021, we acquired CBP a residential insulation and distribution business servicing customers in the Bakersfield, Modesto and Fresno California area. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price of approximately $19.3 million was funded by cash on hand. During the measurement period, we expect to receive additional detailed information to complete the purchase price allocation.
On October 7, 2021, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to our credit agreement, which among other things, (i) extends the maturity date of both the revolving and term loan facilities under the Amended Credit Agreement to October 7, 2026, (ii) re-advances to us $7.5 million as part of the term loan under the Amended Credit Agreement and resets the amortization schedule, (iii) increases the commitments available under the revolving facility from $450.0 million to $500.0 million, and (iv) provides for a new $300.0 million delayed draw term loan facility.
On October 14, 2021, we completed our $500 million 4.125% Senior Notes, which bears interest at 4.125%, is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year beginning on August 15, 2022, and matures on February 15, 2032.
On October 15, 2021, we acquired DI, a leading North American specialty distributor and custom fabricator of mechanical insulation and related accessories to the industrial and commercial end-markets. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price of approximately $1.0 billion was funded by cash on hand and the net proceeds from the new delayed draw term loan and our $500.0 million 4.125% Senior Notes. During the measurement period, we expect to receive additional detailed information to complete the purchase price allocation.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
TopBuild, headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, is a leading installer and distributor of insulation and other building products to the U.S. construction industry. We trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “BLD.”
We operate in two segments: Installation (TruTeam) and Distribution (Service Partners). Our Installation segment installs insulation and other building products nationwide through our TruTeam contractor services business which, as of September 30, 2021, had approximately 235 branches located across the United States. We install various insulation applications, including fiberglass batts and rolls, blown-in loose fill fiberglass, blown-in loose fill cellulose, and polyurethane spray foam. Additionally, we install other building products including glass and windows, rain gutters, after paint products, fireproofing, garage doors, and fireplaces. We handle every stage of the installation process, including material procurement supplied by leading manufacturers, project scheduling and logistics, multi-phase professional installation, and installation quality assurance.
Our Distribution segment sells and distributes insulation and other building products, including gutters, fireplaces, closet shelving, and roofing materials through our Service Partners business, which, as of September 30, 2021, had approximately 75 branches located across the United States. Our Service Partners customer base consists of thousands of insulation contractors of all sizes, gutter contractors, weatherization contractors, other contractors, dealers, metal building erectors, and modular home builders.
We believe that having both TruTeam and Service Partners provides us with a number of distinct competitive advantages. First, the combined buying power of our two business segments, along with our national scale, strengthens our ties to the major manufacturers of insulation and other building products. This helps to ensure the availability of supply to our local branches and distribution centers at competitive prices with the overall effect of driving efficiencies through our supply chain. Second, being a leader in both installation and distribution allows us to effectively reach a broader range of builder customers, regardless of their size or geographic location in the U.S., and leverage housing growth wherever it occurs. Third, during industry downturns, many insulation contractors who buy directly from manufacturers during industry peaks return to purchasing through distributors. As a result, this helps to reduce our exposure to cyclical swings in our business.
For additional details pertaining to our operating results by segment, see Note 7 – Segment Information to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated herein by reference. For additional details regarding our strategy, material trends in our business and seasonality, please refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021, which discussion is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
COVID-19 BUSINESS UPDATE
We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on macroeconomic and local economic conditions. While we are currently able to operate in all of our locations, there is no guarantee that the services we provide will continue to be allowed or that other events making the provision of our services challenging or impossible, will not occur. For example, if there are additional variants or surges in levels of COVID-19 infections in certain states, those states may respond by, among other things, deeming residential and commercial construction as nonessential in connection with a restriction of commercial activity.
25
We have implemented and continue to implement procedures and processes as required or recommended by governmental and medical authorities to ensure the safety of our employees, including increasing our cleaning and sanitizing practices at all locations and for all company vehicles, mandating social distancing on job sites and within our branch operations and limiting essential travel. However, we are not able to predict whether our customers will continue to operate at their current or typical volumes, and such decreases in their operations would have a negative impact on our business. We are also unable to predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last and the impact of the pandemic on demand for our products and services. For additional discussion of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, see the sections entitled “Outlook” and “Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report.
The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto, and the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Quarterly Report.

Sales and Operations
Net sales increased 21.3 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from the comparable period of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a 10.8 percent increase due to higher selling prices and 10.7 percent impact from our acquisitions.
Gross profit margins were 29.6 percent and 28.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gross profit margin improved primarily due to higher selling prices and lower insurance costs, partially offset by an increase in cost of material.
Selling, general, and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, was 13.8 and 13.9 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense as a percent of sales was driven by higher sales partially offset by increased travel and entertainment and the initial absorption of fixed costs of acquisitions.
Operating margins were 15.8 percent and 14.6 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in operating margins was due to higher selling prices and lower insurance costs, partially offset by an increase in cost of material and increased travel and entertainment activity.

OTHER ITEMS
Other expense, net
Other expense, net, which primarily consisted of interest expense, was $5.4 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease was driven by lower interest rates on our 3.625% Senior Notes and borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was higher due to permanent items including share-based compensation partially offset by state tax adjustments and a favorable return to accrual adjustment.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased $53.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the prior year period. The change was primarily due to an increase in net income, partially offset by the impact of higher working capital seen in Accounts Receivable, Inventory, and Accounts Payable.
Net cash used in investing activities was $247.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily composed of $205.0 million for acquisitions and $42.3 million for purchases of property and equipment, primarily vehicles. Net cash used in investing activities was $46.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily composed of $27.2 million for purchases of property and equipment, primarily vehicles, and $21.5 million for acquisitions, partially offset by $2.3 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $64.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we used $35.6 million for the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the 2019 Repurchase Program, $16.3 million net payments for redemption of our 5.625% Senior Notes, issuance of our 3.625% Senior Notes, proceeds from the increase in our term loan from our Amended Credit Agreement, and payments on equipment notes, $6.5 million in debt issuance costs as a result of entering into our Amended Credit Agreement and 3.625% Senior Notes, and $5.5 million net activity related to exercise of share-based incentive awards and stock options. Net cash used in financing activities was $78.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we used $43.1 million for the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the 2019 Repurchase Program, $19.2 million for payments on our term loan under our Amended Credit Agreement and on our equipment notes, $14.8 million on purchases of common stock for tax withholding obligations related to the vesting and exercise of share-based incentive awards, and $2.3 million in debt issuance costs as a result of entering into a new term loan and revolving credit facility.
30
Our liquidity at September 30, 2021 consisted of $327.9 million of cash and $381.9 million available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Facility. We believe that our cash flows from operations, combined with our current cash levels and available borrowing capacity, will be adequate to support our ongoing operations and working capital needs.
The following table summarizes our liquidity, in thousands:

(a) Our cash and cash equivalents consist of AAA-rated money market funds as well as cash held in our demand deposit accounts.
We occasionally 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. We also have bonds outstanding for license and insurance. Information regarding our outstanding bonds as of September 30, 2021 is incorporated by reference from Note 15 – Other Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
In October 2021, we amended our credit agreement to, among other things, increase the commitments available under the revolving facility from $450.0 million to $500.0 million and provide for a new $300.0 million delayed draw term loan facility. Additionally, in October 2021, we acquired DI, a leading North American specialty distributor and custom fabricator of mechanical insulation and related accessories to the industrial and commercial end-markets, for approximately $1.0 billion in cash. The purchase price of the DI acquisition was funded by cash on hand and the net proceeds from the new delayed draw term loan and our $500.0 million 4.125% Senior Notes, which bears interest at 4.125% and matures in February 2032.
OUTLOOK
The demand for housing is outpacing supply, however labor and material shortages continue to limit the speed at which new homes can be built to meet this increased demand. All trades in our industry are experiencing constrained capacity, specifically in fiberglass and spray foam, resulting in manufacturers increasing costs on products. We expect both TruTeam and Service Partners to drive higher selling prices throughout the year in response to these cost increases. The increased demand for housing, combined with low interest rates and home affordability balance, should result in a continued strong outlook for the residential construction industry.
Similarly, the commercial business is poised to see improvement extending beyond 2021 as delayed projects get back on track. Bid activity remains strong, but commercial markets are experiencing delays due to supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and social distancing protocols on job sites. Management is continuing to evaluate every aspect of our business, including monitoring ongoing developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, however we remain cautiously optimistic about the future of this market.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, other than short-term leases, letters of credit, and performance and license bonds, which have been disclosed in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly report.
31
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021, except for the amendment to our Original Credit Agreement on March 8, 2021 and completion of a private offering of our 4.125% Senior Notes on March 15, 2021 for which the proceeds were used to redeem 100% of our 5.625% Senior Notes. See further information as disclosed in Note 5 – Long Term Debt in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. In addition, see Note 16 – Subsequent Events in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for transactions completed after September 30, 2021.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting policies have not changed from those previously reported in our Annual Report for year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021.
APPLICATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Information regarding application of new accounting standards is incorporated by reference from Note 2 – Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this report that reflect our views about future periods, including our future plans and performance, constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “will,” “would,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “designed,” “plan,” or “intend,” the negative of these terms, and similar references to future periods. These views involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in our forward-looking statements. We caution you against unduly relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Our future performance may be affected by the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the United States economy, specifically with respect to residential and commercial construction, our ability to continue operations in markets affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and our ability to collect receivables from our customers, our reliance on residential new construction, residential repair/remodel, and commercial construction, our reliance on third-party suppliers and manufacturers, our ability to attract, develop, and retain talented personnel and our sales and labor force, our ability to maintain consistent practices across our locations, and our ability to maintain our competitive position. We discuss the material risks we face under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021, as well as under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” in subsequent reports that we file with the SEC. Our forward-looking statements in this filing speak only as of the date of this filing. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into the Amended Credit Agreement, which renewed, amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement consists of a senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $300.0 million and a Revolving Facility in the amount of $450.0 million. We also have outstanding 3.625% Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $400.0 million. The 3.625% Senior Notes bear a fixed rate of interest and therefore are excluded from the calculation below as they are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates.
32
Interest payable on both the term loan facility and Revolving Facility under the Amended Credit Agreement is based on a variable interest rate. As a result, we are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on this outstanding indebtedness. As of September 30, 2021, we had $296.3 million outstanding under our term loan facility, and the applicable interest rate as of such date was 1.08%. Based on our outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2021, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would result in a $2.9 million increase in our annualized interest expense. There was no outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2021.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) in the most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
