SANTA ANA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Foundation Building Materials, Inc. (NYSE: FBM), one of the largest specialty building product distributors of wallboard, suspended ceiling systems and metal framing in North America, today reported third quarter 2019 financial results and increased its adjusted EPS 2019 guidance.
“Our strong underlying profitability was the key driver of our third quarter results,” said Ruben Mendoza, President and CEO. “Despite continuing softness in Canadian markets and adverse weather affecting our net sales, we continue to see solid demand in our core non-residential construction markets, and we are on track to meet our financial objectives for the year.”
2019 Third Quarter Results
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $564.9 million compared to $542.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, representing an increase of $22.6 million, or 4.2%. Net sales from base business branches contributed $5.2 million of the increase for the quarter, primarily driven by strong commercial activity and product expansion into new geographic markets.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $171.8 million compared to $154.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, representing an increase of $17.8 million, or 11.5%. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to an expansion of our gross margin and an increase in sales from acquisitions. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 30.4% compared to 28.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to improved profitability across our product lines driven by the Company’s ongoing pricing and purchasing initiatives and continued stabilization of product costs.

As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 21.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 20.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to our continued investment in various company-wide initiatives.
Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $12.7 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $37.6 million, or $0.88 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted net income(1) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $14.4 million, or $0.33 per share, an increase of $6.2 million compared to adjusted net income(1) of $8.2 million, or $0.19 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Net sales from base business branches contributed $51.1 million of the net sales increase, and average daily base business net sales increased by 4.2% over the prior period. The base business net sales increase was primarily due to strong commercial activity and product expansion into new geographic markets.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $496.3 million compared to $434.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing an increase of $61.6 million, or 14.2%. Gross profit increased due to an expansion of our gross margin, an increase in sales from acquisitions and base business growth. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 30.3% compared to 28.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Financial Measures
In addition to presenting financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, net debt leverage ratio and adjusted earnings per share, which are provided as supplemental measures of financial performance. These measures are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations before loss on extinguishment of debt, interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, unrealized loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments, offering and public company readiness expenses, stock-based compensation, and other non-recurring adjustments such as non-cash purchase accounting effects, loss (gain) on the disposal of property and equipment and transaction costs. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. The Company calculates adjusted net income as net income (loss) from continuing operations before loss on extinguishment of debt, unrealized loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments, offering and public company readiness expenses, stock-based compensation, and other non-recurring adjustments such as non-cash purchase accounting effects, loss (gain) on the disposal of property and equipment and transaction costs. The Company calculates adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income on a per weighted average share outstanding basis. For a calculation of net debt leverage ratio, see Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2019.
These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because they are important metrics used by management as a means by which it assesses financial performance. These measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. These measures, when used in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework that may be useful in assessing the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
These non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations, which are discussed in greater detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Furthermore, these measures are not intended to be considered liquidity measures. Other companies, including other companies in the Company’s industry, may not use these measures or may calculate one or more of these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
The following is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss) from continuing operations (unaudited):
