Capital Allocation

“We are pleased with our progress to date on the acquisition front, welcoming three profitable and well-managed companies to the TopBuild family. In late July we also announced that we had signed an agreement to acquire SPI, a leading specialty distributor generating approximately $703 million in annual revenue. This acquisition will further enhance our growth platform in the three end-markets we serve and increase our recurring revenue stream from maintenance and repair operations.” added Buck.

Year-to-date the Company has completed three acquisitions; SRI Holdings, Best Insulation, and Rocky Mountain Spray Foam which, combined, are expected to contribute approximately $170 million of annual revenue.

Sales	$	5,025	$	5,175
Adjusted EBITDA*	$	950	$	1,000

*See table for adjusted EBITDA reconciliation.

⁽¹⁾This outlook reflects management’s current view of present and future market conditions and are based on assumptions such as housing starts and completions, general and administrative expenses, weighted average diluted shares outstanding and interest rates. These targets do not include any effects related to potential acquisitions or divestitures that may occur after the date of this press release. A reconciliation of non-GAAP targets to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future and therefore, cannot be reasonably predicted. The effect of these excluded items may be significant. Factors that could cause actual long-term results to differ materially from TopBuild’s current expectations are discussed below and are also detailed in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent SEC reports.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, incremental EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, the “adjusted” financial measures presented above, and figures presented on a “same branch basis” are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, which are used in managing the business, may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. We define same branch sales as sales from branches in operation for at least 12 full calendar months. Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measures in tables contained in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results under GAAP. Additional information may be found in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission which are available on TopBuild’s website under “SEC Filings” at www.topbuild.com.
