PEABODY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (the "Company") (NAS: BECN) announced results today for its first quarter ended December 31, 2012 ("2013") of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 ("fiscal 2013").

Paul Isabella, the Company's President & Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We began fiscal 2013 with a solid first quarter performance despite being up against a very strong quarter last year when our existing market sales were up 17%. Our total sales benefited from the positive impact of several acquisitions made since the start of last year and our gross margin continued to improve over the prior year. The trend of our complementary product sales has been encouraging, considering the more discretionary nature of those products. Towards the end of the first quarter, we took advantage of our financial capacity and flexibility to purchase key products ahead of announced industry-wide price increases scheduled mostly for February and April. We believe we are well positioned for a successful fiscal 2013 and expect to continue our steady growth. We continue aggressively to seek quality companies that fit our target acquisition profile, such as McClure-Johnston and Ford Wholesale, which we acquired in the first quarter."


Total sales increased 4.9% to $513.7 million in 2013 from $489.9 million in 2012. Existing market (organic) sales, which exclude branches acquired after the beginning of last year's first quarter, declined 4.6% (7.7% based on the same number of business days). In existing markets, residential and non-residential roofing product sales decreased 5.4% and 6.1%, respectively, while complementary product sales increased 2.9%. The 2013 sales performance was unfavorably affected by the comparison to last year's very high level of re-roofing activities, including the beneficial impact from mild weather in December 2011 and strong business in several markets that experienced significant storms in 2011, and lower average residential roofing selling prices this year.

Net income for the first quarter was $18.2 million compared to $19.1 million in 2012, a decrease of 4.8%. Last year's net income included a benefit of $1.0 million, $0.02 per share, from a reduction in a liability for contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Enercon Products. First quarter diluted net income per share was $0.37 compared to an adjusted $0.39 in 2012. The lower net income was primarily due to higher operating expenses, including acquired branch expenses, mostly offset by the impact from higher gross profit and lower interest expense.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which are reconciled to the net income in this press release, were $41.8 million in 2013 compared to $41.1 million in 2012, an increase of 1.7%.

Cash flow from operations was $47.3 million compared to $59.0 million in 2012. This comparison in operating cash flows was influenced mostly by less favorable changes in working capital, including additional inventory purchases made in 2013 ahead of announced price increases. Cash on hand decreased by $121.2 million to $34.0 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $155.2 million at December 31, 2011, due primarily to a significant paydown of debt (net of new borrowings) since last year's first quarter and the costs of the acquisitions made since that time.
