DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Nov. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TopBuild Corp. (NYSE: BLD), the leading installer and distributor of insulation products to the United States construction industry based on revenue, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015. 

Jerry Volas, Chief Executive Officer of TopBuild stated, "We continue to execute well within the ongoing improvement in both the residential and commercial building markets.  Sales increased 7.6% year-over-year, despite a tight labor market for builders, which is extending the building cycle and, as a result, the traditional lag time in our business.  Overall, consistent with our long-term expectation, adjusted EBITDA margin on incremental sales of 20% in the third quarter keeps the year-to-date incremental margin at 20%."
