Record Levels of Net Sales, Net Income and
Adjusted EBITDA; Improving Commercial Backdrop
GMS Inc. (NYSE: GMS), a leading North American specialty
building products distributor, today reported financial results for
the fiscal first quarter ended July 31, 2022.
First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights
(Comparisons are to the first quarter of fiscal 2022)
- Net sales of $1,359.6 million increased 30.5%; organic net
sales increased 24.1%.
- Net income of $89.5 million, or $2.07 per diluted share,
increased 46.2% compared to net income of $61.2 million, or $1.39
per diluted share; Adjusted net income of $105.2 million, or $2.43
per diluted share, compared to $73.3 million, or $1.67 per diluted
share.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $175.0 million increased $46.9 million, or
36.6%; Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 60 basis points to 12.9%
from 12.3%.
- Net debt leverage was 1.8 times as of the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 2023, down from 2.7 times a year ago.
“Continuing the solid momentum from fiscal 2022, we again
achieved record levels of quarterly net sales, net income and
Adjusted EBITDA for our fiscal first quarter of 2023,” said John C.
Turner, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of GMS. “Volumes
were up in Wallboard, Ceilings and Complementary Products,
including our first quarterly year-over-year increase in commercial
Wallboard volumes since before the pandemic. The inflationary
pricing environment together with strong residential construction
activity and an improving commercial landscape, combined with our
team’s commitment to delivering outstanding service and the
execution of our strategic priorities drove our performance this
quarter.”
Turner continued, “While builders are reporting an
affordability-driven moderation in single-family housing demand,
construction activity in this sector remained robust during the
first quarter and into our second quarter as the industry works
through a sizable backlog of homes started but not yet completed.
While single family homebuilding will likely soften, the degree,
timing and duration is yet to be determined. However, commercial
construction is improving and multi-family construction remains
strong. We are confident we are well-positioned to adjust as needed
to meet demand in all three end markets.”
First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 of $1.36 billion
increased 30.5% as compared with the prior year quarter, primarily
due to inflationary pricing, active residential construction,
volume growth in Wallboard, Ceilings and Complementary Products, an
improving commercial landscape, and the acquisition of AMES Taping
Tools. Organic net sales increased 24.1%.
Year-over-year sales increases by product category were as
follows:
- Wallboard sales of $521.6 million increased 33.7% (up 31.6% on
an organic basis).
- Ceilings sales of $167.3 million increased 21.2% (up 17.8% on
an organic basis).
- Steel Framing sales of $274.9 million increased 40.1% (up 34.6%
on an organic basis).
- Complementary Product sales of $395.8 million increased 24.6%
(up 11.2% on an organic basis).
Gross profit of $434.7 million increased 29.4% compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to the successful pass
through of product inflation, continued strength in residential
market demand, an improving commercial landscape, and incremental
gross profit from acquisitions. Gross margin of 32.0%, declined 20
basis points year-over-year primarily due to the timing and
elasticity of inflationary price-cost dynamics in the market.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense as a
percentage of net sales improved 80 basis points to 19.7% for the
quarter compared to 20.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
Adjusted SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales of 19.2%
improved 100 basis points from 20.2% in the prior year quarter as
product inflation outpaced increases in operating costs.
Net income increased 46.2% to $89.5 million, or $2.07 per
diluted share, compared to net income of $61.2 million, or $1.39
per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted
net income was $105.2 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, compared
to $73.3 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, in the first quarter
of the prior fiscal year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $46.9 million, or 36.6%, to $175.0
million compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin
of 12.9% improved 60 basis points from 12.3% for the first quarter
of fiscal 2022.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash Flow
As of July 31, 2022, the Company had cash on hand of $106.6
million, total debt of $1.2 billion and $270.2 million of available
liquidity under its revolving credit facilities. Net debt leverage
was 1.8 times as of the end of the quarter, down from 2.7 times at
the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
The Company recorded cash used by operating activities and free
cash flow of $4.4 million and $15.3 million, respectively, for the
quarter ended July 31, 2022. For the quarter ended July 31, 2021,
the Company recorded cash used by operating activities and free
cash flow of $75.1 million and $81.9 million, respectively.

previous authorization and $13.0 million was repurchased under an
expanded authorization approved during the quarter. As of July 31,
2022, the Company had $187.0 million of repurchase authorization
remaining.
Platform Expansion Activities
During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, GMS acquired
Construction Supply of Southwest Florida, Inc. (“CSSWF”). CSSWF is
a leading distributor of various stucco, building and waterproofing
supplies serving the Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice and North Port
local markets, with broader outreach to the Tampa and Fort Myers
markets. This acquisition further expands GMS’s Complementary
Products offerings and establishes an inaugural stucco-focused

Also, during the period, the Company opened two new greenfield
yards in Wildwood, Florida and Cleveland, Ohio as well as six new
AMES stores.

About GMS Inc.
Founded in 1971, GMS operates a network of approximately 300
distribution centers with extensive product offerings of wallboard,
ceilings, steel framing and complementary construction products. In
addition, GMS operates approximately 100 tool sales, rental and
service centers, providing a comprehensive selection of building
products and solutions for its residential and commercial
contractor customer base across the United States and Canada. The
Company’s unique operating model combines the benefits of a
national platform and strategy with a local go-to-market focus,
enabling GMS to generate significant economies of scale while
maintaining high levels of customer service.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GMS reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP.
However, it presents Adjusted net income, free cash flow, Adjusted
SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are
not recognized financial measures under GAAP. GMS believes that
Adjusted net income, free cash flow, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted
EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin assist investors and analysts in
comparing its operating performance across reporting periods on a
consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not
believe are indicative of its core operating performance. The
Company’s management believes Adjusted net income, Adjusted
SG&A, free cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
margin are helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results,
while other measures can differ significantly depending on
long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax
jurisdictions in which the Company operates and capital
investments. In addition, the Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA in
certain calculations in its debt agreements.
You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons
GMS considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. In
addition, in evaluating Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A and
Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, the
Company may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the
presentation of Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted
EBITDA. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted net income, Adjusted
SG&A, Adjusted SG&A margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted
EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that its
future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring
items. In addition, Adjusted net income, free cash flow, Adjusted
SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures used by other companies in GMS’s industry or across
different industries. Please see the tables at the end of this
release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow,
Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted net income to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.
When calculating organic net sales growth, the Company excludes
from the calculation (i) net sales of acquired businesses until the
first anniversary of the acquisition date, and (ii) the impact of
foreign currency translation.
