RALEIGH, N.C., April 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stock Building Supply Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: STCK ), a large, diversified lumber and building materials distributor and solutions provider that sells primarily to new construction and remodeling contractors, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
First Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights
- Net sales of $280.0 million, up 12.6%, compared to $248.7 million for the first quarter of 2013
- Operating loss of $4.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2013
- Net loss of $3.3 million, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2013
- Adjusted loss from continuing operations of $2.4 million, compared to an adjusted loss from continuing operations of $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2013
- Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2013
- Cash provided by operating activities of $8.4 million, compared to cash used in operating activities of $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2013
Commenting on the Company's results, Jeff Rea, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stock Building Supply, stated, "Sales to single-family homebuilders and repair and remodeling contractors during the first quarter increased by approximately 9.0% and 17.3%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2013. Our continued success in growing revenue is a direct reflection of our flexible business model and ability to withstand a challenging operating environment during the first quarter in which construction activity was slowed by harsh winter weather and U.S. single-family housing starts declined by approximately 1.7% as compared to the prior year. In spite of this slow down, we continued to drive improvements in our operating results while also making important investments in the business. This included additional resources to expand product and service offerings and deepen customer relationships in our local markets."
Jim Major, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We continued to leverage our above-market growth with both single-family homebuilders and remodeling contractors to drive an increase in our gross profit of over 21%, and expansion in our gross margins of 170 basis points as compared to the prior year period. Additionally, we reinvested our positive operating cash flow to expand our distribution capacity, improve our stores and add new technology capabilities. We expect these investments to benefit our operating results in future periods by enabling further gains in net sales and gross profit and reduced expenses as a percent of net sales."
First Quarter 2014 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period
Net sales for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $280.0 million, up $31.3 million, or 12.6%, compared to $248.7 million in the first quarter of 2013. The Company estimates net sales increased approximately 14.0% related to sales volume but was partially offset by reduced selling prices on commodity products.
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2014 was $65.2 million, up $11.4 million, or 21.3%, compared to $53.8 million in the first quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of increased sales volume. The gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2014 increased 170 basis points to 23.3% from 21.6% in the first quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of improved gross margins on sales of structural components and lumber and lumber sheet goods, as well as a lower percentage of total net sales being derived from commodity products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2014 were $67.1 million, up $10.3 million, or 18.2%, from $56.8 million in the first quarter of 2013. Variable costs associated with higher sales volume, such as sales commissions, shipping and handling costs and other variable compensation, increased by $3.4 million. Other salary, wage, benefit and taxation costs increased $4.3 million, primarily as a result of headcount additions to serve higher sales volume and generate future growth opportunities. Other general and administrative expenses increased by $1.9 million, primarily as a result of increased insurance premiums and provisions, and other costs associated with our transition to a public company.
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company incurred $0.4 million of public offering transaction-related costs in connection with a secondary offering in which shares were sold by certain stockholders. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the offering.
Operating loss in the first quarter of 2014 was $4.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2013. Net loss during the quarter totaled $3.3 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million, or $(0.35) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2014 decreased $1.3 million to $2.4 million, compared to an adjusted loss from continuing operations of $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2014 totaled $0.1 million, up $1.3 million, compared to a $1.2 million Adjusted EBITDA loss in the first quarter of 2013. A reconciliation of non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided as an appendix to this release.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total liquidity as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $96.3 million, which includes cash and cash equivalents of $7.7 million and $88.6 million of borrowing availability under our existing revolver.
Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2014 totaled $8.4 million, primarily to fund purchases of vehicles and equipment.
Outlook
"Although our year-to-date revenue growth has been hampered by a delayed start to the homebuilder spring selling season, we expect our primary end-use markets will continue their recovery from current levels," added Mr. Rea. "We are closely monitoring business activity to ensure our growth investments are aligned with local market opportunities to drive continued improvements in our operating results."

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(unaudited)
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus impairment of assets held for sale, public offering transaction-related costs, restructuring expense, discontinued operations, net of taxes, management fees, non-cash compensation expense, acquisition costs, and severance and other expense related to store closures. Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations is defined as net income as adjusted for the same items deducted from EBITDA in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, and after tax effecting those items. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and operating results. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used in monthly financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors. We believe that the use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other distribution and retail companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, our calculation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Our management does not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations in isolation or as alternatives to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from operations is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our interest expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our income tax expenses or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; (iv) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments and (v) although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations in conjunction with GAAP results. You should review the reconciliations of net income (loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations below, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
