NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2021, and our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. All 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The following table represents our contract assets and contract liabilities with customers, in thousands:


	Included in Line Item on	As of
	Condensed	March 31,		December 31,
	Balance Sheets	2021		2020
Contract Assets:
Receivables, unbilled	Receivables, net	$	64,519	$	48,839

Contract Liabilities:
Deferred revenue	Accrued liabilities	$	8,091	$	6,542

The increase in contract assets as of March 31, 2021 is primarily driven by an increase in organic sales as well as sales from our acquisitions during the quarter.

The aggregate amount remaining on uncompleted performance obligations was $283.3 million as of March 31, 2021. We expect to satisfy the performance obligations and recognize revenue on substantially all of these uncompleted contracts over the next 18 months.

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.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2021 by segment, were as follows, in thousands:


							Accumulated

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 March 31, 2021		1.11	%
Scheduled maturity date		3/20/2026

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(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. The following table summarizes our availability under the Revolving Facility, in thousands:


	As of
	March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Revolving Facility	$	450,000	$	450,000
Less: standby letters of credit		(60,382)		(60,382)
Availability under Revolving Facility	$	389,618	$	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% New Senior Notes due 2029. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the New Senior Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem 100% of its $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Old Senior Notes due 2026. The New 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 New 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.

TOPBUILD CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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 three months ended March 31, 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%.

Covenant Compliance

The indenture governing our New 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 New Senior Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the New Senior Notes immediately due and payable. The New Senior Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and we are not required to register either the New 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 March 31, 2021
Maximum Net Leverage Ratio		3.50:1.00

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 New Senior Notes close to March 31, 2021 (Level 1 fair value measurement), we estimate that the fair value of the New Senior Notes is approximately $415.6 million compared to a gross carrying value of $400.0 million at March 31, 2021.

9. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates were 20.7 percent and 17.4 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The higher 2021 tax rate was due to permanent items including share-based compensation, partially offset by state tax adjustments.

A tax benefit of $3.1 million and $5.5 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Net income (in thousands) - basic and diluted	$	59,842	$	50,771

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic		32,826,515		33,168,453

12. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On February 22, 2019, our Board authorized the 2019 Repurchase Program, pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock. Share repurchases may be executed through various means including open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, or other available means. The 2019 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares and has no expiration date. Authorization for the 2019 Share Repurchase Program may be terminated, increased, or decreased by the Board at its discretion at any time. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has approximately $30.1 million remaining under the 2019 Repurchase Program.

Effective November 4, 2019, under the 2019 Repurchase program, we entered into the 2019 ASR Agreement. We paid BofA $50.0 million in exchange for an initial delivery of 392,501 shares of our common stock on November 5, 2019, representing an estimated 85% of the total number of shares we expected to receive under the 2019 ASR Agreement, at the time we entered into the agreement. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we received an additional 73,455 shares of our common stock from BofA representing the final settlement of the 2019 ASR agreement. We purchased a total of 465,956 shares of our common stock under the 2019 ASR Agreement at an average price per share of $107.31.

As third-party or internal valuations are finalized, certain tax aspects of the foregoing transactions are completed, and customer post-closing reviews are concluded, adjustments may be made to the fair value of assets acquired, and in some cases total purchase price, through the end of each measurement period, generally one year following the applicable acquisition date. Primarily all of the $21.3 million and $11.0 million of goodwill recorded from acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

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. 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 discount rate 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 in the year ended December 31, 2020.

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. 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.

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.

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 March 31, 2021, had approximately 200 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, afterpaint 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 March 31, 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 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.

We 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 all but 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.

FIRST QUARTER 2021 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 2020

The following table sets forth our net sales, gross profit, operating profit, and margins, as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, in thousands:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021			2020
Net sales	$	742,798		$	653,228
Cost of sales		545,039			481,272

Other expense, net		(20,388)			(8,503)
Income tax expense		(15,657)			(10,715)
Net income	$	59,842		$	50,771
Net margin		8.1	%		7.8	%

Sales and Operations

Net sales increased 13.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from the comparable period of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a 7.7 percent increase in sales volume, a 4.2 percent impact from our acquisitions and a 1.8 percent increase due to higher selling prices.

Gross profit margins were 26.6 percent and 26.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gross profit margin improved primarily due to higher selling prices, savings from cost reduction initiatives, lower insurance costs, and operational efficiencies, partially offset by material inflation.

Selling, general, and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, was 13.7 and 15.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense as a percent of sales was primarily the result of higher sales, lower travel and entertainment costs, lower legal fees, lower stock-based compensation expense, and overall cost reduction initiatives.

Operating margins were 12.9 percent and 10.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in operating margins was due to higher sales volume, higher selling prices, savings from cost reduction initiatives, lower insurance costs, lower stock-based compensation expense, reduced travel and entertainment activity, lower legal fees, and operational efficiencies, partially offset by material inflation.

Installation

Sales

Sales in our Installation segment increased $56.9 million, or 12.0 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was due to a 5.8 percent impact from our acquisitions, a 5.1 percent increase in sales volume and a 1.1 percent increase from higher selling prices.

Operating margins

Operating margins in our Installation segment were 13.8 percent and 12.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in operating margins was driven by higher sales volume, higher selling prices, savings from cost reduction initiatives, lower insurance costs, reduced travel and entertainment activity, and operational efficiencies, partially offset by material inflation.

Distribution

Sales

OTHER ITEMS

Other expense, net

Other expense, net, which primarily consisted of interest expense, was $20.4 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was driven by costs incurred to redeem our Old Senior Notes during the quarter.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $15.7 million, an effective tax rate of 20.7 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $10.7 million, an effective tax rate of 17.4 percent, for the comparable period in 2020. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was higher due to permanent items including share-based compensation, partially offset by state tax adjustments.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Significant sources (uses) of cash and cash equivalents are summarized for the periods indicated, in thousands:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Changes in cash and cash equivalents:
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	89,422	$	72,930
Net cash used in investing activities		(73,320)		(36,224)
Net cash used in financing activities		(26,490)		(34,474)
(Decrease) increase for the period	$	(10,388)	$	2,232

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period. The change was primarily due to an increase in net income, timing of accounts receivable collections and accrued liability payments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $73.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily composed of $61.1 million for acquisitions and $12.2 million for purchases of property and equipment, primarily vehicles. Net cash used in investing activities was $36.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily composed of $15.9 million for purchases of property and equipment, primarily vehicles, and $20.5 million for the acquisition of Cooper and Hunter.

Net cash used in financing activities was $26.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we used $9.9 million for the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the 2019 Repurchase Program, $6.5 million in debt issuance costs as a result of entering into our Amended Credit Agreement and New Senior Notes, $5.5 million net activity related to exercise of share-based incentive awards and stock options, and $4.6 million net payments for redemption of our Old Senior Notes, issuance of our New Senior Notes, proceeds from the increase in our term loan from our Amended Credit Agreement, and payments on equipment notes. Net cash used in financing activities was $34.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we used $14.1 million for the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the 2019 Repurchase Program, $10.3 million on purchases of common stock for tax withholding obligations related to the vesting and exercise of share-based incentive awards, $7.7 million for payments on our term loan under our Original Credit Agreement and on our equipment notes, and $2.3 million in debt issuance costs as a result of entering into a new term loan revolving credit facility.

We are closely managing our balance sheet, including maximizing our cash flow, to maintain our strong foundation and provide stability as we continue to navigate operations through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We had solid liquidity available to us at March 31, 2021, with $319.6 million of cash and $389.6 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.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes our liquidity, in thousands:


	As of
	March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Cash and cash equivalents (a)	$	319,619	$	330,007

Revolving Facility		450,000		450,000

Availability under Revolving Facility		389,618		389,618

Total liquidity	$	709,237	$	719,625

(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 March 31, 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.

OUTLOOK

The demand for housing is outpacing supply, however labor and material shortages are limiting the speed at which new homes can be built to meet this increased demand. All trades in our industry continue to experience 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 continued improvement throughout 2021 as delayed projects get back on track, however management will continue to evaluate every aspect of our business, including monitoring ongoing developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may trigger restrictions on operating activities, an economic downturn, or other adverse impact to our business.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements during the quarter ended March 31, 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.

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 New Senior Notes on March 15, 2021 for which the proceeds were used to redeem 100% of our Old 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.

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

Table of Contents

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 New Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $400.0 million. The New 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.

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 March 31, 2021, we had $300.0 million outstanding under our term loan facility, and the applicable interest rate as of such date was 1.11%. Based on our outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
