DAYTONA BEACH, May 11, 2016 — TopBuild Corp. (NYSE: BLD), the leading installer and distributor of insulation products to the U.S. construction industry, reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Jerry Volas, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We had an excellent quarter. The mild winter was a strong contributor to our top line results and our focus on operating efficiency drove a significant improvement in our first quarter operating margin to an adjusted 5.0% from an adjusted 1.9% a year ago. As we look to the remainder of the year, we expect business to remain strong. As a reminder, the first quarter is historically the lowest of the year, reflecting the seasonality of our business. Although we expect that to remain true this year, the magnitude of this seasonality may be less significant due to the strong first quarter.
“From a macro perspective, we believe the U.S. housing recovery will continue for the next several years. Although we expect that TopBuild will certainly be advantaged by that, we intend to outperform that recovery with organic growth and strategically selective acquisitions in both the residential and commercial space. Additionally, we believe that continued improvements in operating efficiency will optimize the impact of this expected growth on operating margins.”
