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 Specialty Distribution. Our Installation segment primarily installs insulation and other building products. Our Specialty 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, 2022, our results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. We made the material acquisition of DI in October 2021 and it is therefore not included in the comparative periods of three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
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, 2021, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022.
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.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”. This standard improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability, as well as payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. This standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial position and results of operations.

The aggregate amount remaining on uncompleted performance obligations was $425.5 million as of September 30, 2022. 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 trade receivables, which is a component of Receivables, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and were $59.8 million and $57.6 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
We have two reporting units which are also our operating and reporting segments: Installation and Specialty 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 2021, we performed an annual assessment on our goodwill resulting in no impairment and there were no indicators of impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Amendments to Credit Agreement and Senior Secured Term Loan Facility
On March 8, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement provided 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.
Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement extended the maturity date from March 2025 to March 2026, the floor for base rate loans was reduced from 1.5% to 1.0%, and the floor for Eurodollar rate loans was reduced from 0.5% to 0.0%. Additional provisions were made for the eventual replacement of LIBOR with another alternate benchmark rate.
12
On October 7, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million, comprised of a $300.0 million term loan facility and a $300.0 million delayed draw term loan commitment, all of which was drawn on October 7, 2021, and a revolving facility with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $500.0 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 Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement was extended from March 2026 to October 2026. Additional provisions were also made for the eventual replacement of LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate.
The following table outlines the key terms of our Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (dollars in thousands):
Senior secured term loan facility | $ | 300,000 | |
Additional delayed draw term loan | $ | 300,000 | |
Additional term loan and/or revolver capacity available under incremental facility (a) | $ | 300,000 | |
Revolving facility | $ | 500,000 | |
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, 2022 | 3.52 | % | |
Scheduled maturity date | 10/7/2026 |
(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 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%. |
Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement contemplates future amendment by the Company and the agent to provide for the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative 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 Amendment No. 2 to 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.

Availability under revolving facility | $ | 432,311 | $ | 430,064 |
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.
3.625% 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 began 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 3.625% 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 3.625% Senior 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 3.625% Senior 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 3.625% Senior 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 3.625% Senior Notes originally issued remains outstanding.
4.125% Senior Notes
On October 14, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2032. The 4.125% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at 4.125% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, beginning on August 15, 2022. The 4.125% Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2032, unless redeemed early or repurchased. If we undergo a change in control, we must make an offer to repurchase all of the 4.125% 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 4.125% Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 15, 2026 at the redemption prices specified in the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest if redeemed during the 12 month period commencing on October 15 of the years set for: 2026 – 102.063%, 2027 – 101.375%, 2028 – 100.688%, 2029 and thereafter – 100.000%. The Company may also redeem a make-whole redemption of the 4.125% Senior Notes at any time prior to October 15, 2026 at the treasury rate plus 50 bps. Additionally, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 4.125% Senior Notes prior to October 15, 2024 with the net cash proceeds of certain sales of its capital stock at 104.125% 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.
14
Equipment Notes
As of September 30, 2022, the company has outstanding $10.6 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, 2022. 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 indentures governing our 3.625% Senior Notes and our 4.125% Senior Notes (together, our “Senior Notes”) contain 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 indentures provide 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 each of our Senior Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Senior Notes subject to such declaration immediately due and payable. The Senior Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and we are not required to register either the Senior Notes or the guarantees in the future.
The 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 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default.
The 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, 2022 | |
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 12 – Business Combinations.
15
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 Amendment No.2 to 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 and our 4.125% Senior Notes close to September 30, 2022 (Level 1 fair value measurement), we estimate the fair value of each in the table below:
As of September 30, 2022 | ||||||
Fair Value | Gross Carrying Value | |||||
3.625% Senior Notes | $ | 321,000 | $ | 400,000 | ||
4.125% Senior Notes | $ | 391,250 | $ | 500,000 |

8. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates were 26.1 percent and 25.6 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were 25.7 percent and 24.7 percent, respectively. The higher tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 was due to state tax adjustments and miscellaneous items, partially offset by a decrease in tax expense related to share-based compensation.
A tax benefit of $1.5 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022.
9. NET 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:

10. 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, 2022, we had 1.9 million shares remaining available for issuance under the 2015 LTIP.
Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general, and administrative expense. The income tax effect associated with share-based compensation awards is included in income tax expense. The following table presents share-based compensation amounts recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, in thousands:

During the first quarter of 2022, RSAs with performance-based conditions that were granted on February 18, 2019 vested based on cumulative three-year achievement of 200%. Total compensation expense recognized over the three-year performance period, net of forfeitures, was $4.4 million.
The fair value of our RSAs with a market-based condition granted under the 2015 LTIP was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The following are key inputs in the Monte Carlo analysis for awards granted in 2022 and 2021:
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
Measurement period (years) | 2.87 | 2.87 | ||||||
Risk free interest rate | 1.76 | % | 0.22 | % | ||||

Estimated fair value of market-based RSAs at grant date | $ | 298.20 | $ | 298.66 |
The fair values of stock options granted under the 2015 LTIP were calculated using the Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model. The following table presents the assumptions used to estimate the fair values of stock options granted in 2021. There were no stock options issued in the first nine months of 2022.

12. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Acquiring businesses is a key part of our ongoing strategy to grow our company and expand our market share. Each acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” We incurred no acquisition related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and incurred $2.7 million of acquisition related costs in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Acquisition related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $1.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Acquisition related costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. On October 15, 2021, we acquired DI for $1.0 billion and its results of operations and financial position are aggregated within our Specialty Distribution segment.
The table below provides a summary as of September 30, 2022 for the businesses acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

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. To that note, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, DI’s goodwill increased by $10.7 million primarily as a result of the finalization of purchase price adjustments to acquisition date sales and use tax liabilities, net working capital adjustments, property, plant and equipment, and true-ups to supplier rebate receivables.

14. 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, claims against our builder customers for issues relating to our workmanship. We generally exclude from our contracts with builder customers indemnity relating to product quality and warranty claims, as we pass such claims directly to the manufacturers of the products we install or distribute. 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.
The following table summarizes our outstanding performance, licensing, insurance and other bonds, in thousands:

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 and Specialty Distribution. Our Installation segment installs insulation and other building products nationwide. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately 230 Installation 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 Specialty Distribution segment sells and distributes building and mechanical insulation, insulation accessories and other building product materials for the residential, commercial, and industrial end markets. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately 165 Specialty Distribution branches located across the United States and 18 branches in Canada. Our Specialty Distribution 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 made the material acquisition of DI in October 2021 and is therefore not included in the comparative periods of three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
We believe that having both Installation and Specialty Distribution provides us with a number of distinct competitive advantages. First, the combined buying power of our two business segments, along with our scale, strengthens our ties to the major manufacturers of insulation and other building material products. This helps to ensure we are buying competitively and ensures the availability of supply to our local branches and Specialty Distribution centers. The overall effect is driving efficiencies through our supply chain. Second, being a leader in both installation and specialty distribution allows us to reach a broader set of builders and contractors more effectively, regardless of their size or geographic location in the U.S. and Canada, and leverage housing, commercial and industrial construction growth wherever it occurs. Third, during housing industry downturns, many insulation contractors who buy directly from manufacturers during industry peaks return to purchasing through specialty distributors, which 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. 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, 2021, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022.
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 53.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from the comparable period of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of 31.2% from our acquisitions, a 13.6% increase due to higher selling prices, and an increase of 9.1% in sales volume.
Gross profit margins were 30.4% and 29.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross profit margin improved primarily due to higher selling prices and higher sales volume, partially offset by material inflation.
Selling, general, and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, was 13.3% and 13.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense as a percent of sales was driven primarily by higher sales, partially offset by the amortization of intangible assets related to purchase accounting.
Operating margins were 17.1% and 15.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in operating margins was due to higher selling prices and higher sales volume partially offset by material inflation and amortization of intangible assets related to purchase accounting.

Sales in our Specialty Distribution segment increased $307.1 million, or 111.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Of the 111.1% increase, acquisitions accounted for 92.4%, 13.0% was due to higher selling prices and 5.7% was from an increase in sales volume.
Operating margins
Operating margins in our Specialty Distribution segment were 15.1% and 17.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in operating margins was partially driven by the amortization of intangible assets related to purchase accounting and material inflation partially offset by higher selling prices and higher sales volume.

OTHER ITEMS
Other expense, net
Other expense, net, was $14.9 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change primarily related to interest expense, which increased by $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was due to higher long-term debt balances during the three months ended September 30, 2022, including the balance on the 4.125% Senior Notes which were issued in the fourth quarter of 2021 to finance the acquisition of DI and higher interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $54.3 million, an effective tax rate of 26.1 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $32.9 million, an effective tax rate of 25.7 percent, for the comparable period in 2021. The tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was higher due to state tax adjustments and miscellaneous items, partially offset by a decrease in tax expense related to share-based compensation.

Sales and Operations
Net sales increased 54.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from the comparable period of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a 33.8% impact from our acquisitions, a 15.0% increase due to higher selling prices and a 5.8% increase in sales volume.
Gross profit margins were 29.7% and 28.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross profit margin improved primarily due to higher selling prices and higher sales volume partially offset by an increase in cost of material.
26
Selling, general, and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, was 13.8% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Selling, general, and administrative expense as a percent of sales remained flat to the prior year as the impact of higher selling prices was offset by was the amortization of intangible assets related to purchase accounting and increased insurance costs.
Operating margins were 15.9% and 14.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Operating margins
Operating margins in our Installation segment were 18.4% and 15.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in operating margins was driven by higher sales from selling prices and volumes, partially offset by an increase in cost of material.

OTHER ITEMS
Other expense, net
Other expense, net, which primarily consisted of interest expense, was $39.8 million and $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense increased by $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was due to higher long-term debt balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, including the balance on the 4.125% Senior Notes which were issued in the fourth quarter of 2021 to finance the acquisition of DI, and higher interest rates on our borrowings under the Credit Agreement. 2021 was also impacted by a $13.9 million charge incurred to redeem our 5.625% Senior Notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $142.1 million, an effective tax rate of 25.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $80.5 million, an effective tax rate of 24.7%, for the comparable period in 2021. The tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was higher due to permanent items including share-based compensation.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased $26.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the prior year period. Net income was up $166.5 million, or 67.8%, compared with the prior year period, driven by the impact of our acquisitions, higher sales prices and sale volumes. That increase was largely offset by the impact of higher levels of working capital, also driven by the impact of our acquisitions on accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $73.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily composed of $56.0 million for purchases of property and equipment, mainly vehicles, and $20.5 million for acquisitions. 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 financing activities was $240.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we used $200.0 million for the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the 2021 Repurchase Program, $29.0 million for debt repayments, and $9.7 million net activity related to exercise of share-based incentive awards and stock options. Additionally, we borrowed and repaid $70 million on our Revolving Facility, all within the second quarter of 2022. 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.
We have access to liquidity through our cash from operations and available borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement, which provides for borrowing and/or standby letter of credit issuances of up to $500 million under the revolving facility. Additional information regarding our outstanding debt and borrowing capacity is incorporated by reference from Note 5 – Long-term Debt to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

(a) Our cash and cash equivalents consist of AAA-rated money market funds as well as cash held in our demand deposit accounts.
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 to fund our debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.
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, 2022 is incorporated by reference from Note 14 – Other Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
OUTLOOK
We believe a number of macroeconomic factors, including rising interest rates, inflation and the overall health of the economy, are impacting consumer demand for housing. Although the decreased demand may have a possible impact in the mid-term, we remain cautiously optimistic about the long-term health of the U.S. housing market.
With the acquisition of DI, we have diversified our mix of business and increased our penetration in the commercial and industrial end markets. These end markets operate on a different cycle than residential housing. Although these end markets are dealing with higher material costs, labor constraints, and are impacted by economic volatility, our bid activity and backlog remain strong.
29
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 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, 2021, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022.
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.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
On October 7, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million, comprised of a $300.0 term loan facility and $300.0 million delayed draw term loan commitment, all of which was drawn on October 7, 2021 and a revolving facility with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $500.0 million. We also have outstanding 3.625% Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $400.0 million and 4.125% Senior Notes which 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 aggregate term loan facility and revolving facility under Amendment No. 2 to 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, 2022, we had $573.8 million outstanding under our term loan facility, and the applicable interest rate as of such date was 3.52%. Based on our outstanding borrowings under Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would result in a $5.6 million increase in our annualized interest expense. There was no outstanding balance under the revolving facility as of September 30, 2022.
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, 2022.
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, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
