Beacon reports Q2 EPS $1.97, consensus $2.27

Reports Q2 revenue $2.50B, consensus $2.48B. “Our team’s focused execution on the Ambition 2025 growth initiatives drove record quarterly net sales, strong net income margin and double-digit Adjusted EBITDA margin,” said Julian Francis, Beacon’s President & CEO. “We leveraged an improving residential market and our strategic investments in greenfields and acquisitions, including Coastal Construction Products, to drive top-line growth. I am especially pleased with the growth of our industry-leading digital offering, achieving record adoption by our residential customers. Our relentless customer focus is propelling the team to help our customers build more. Internally, our emphasis on efficiency is also showing tangible results, demonstrated by our impressive operating expense to net sales ratio. We continued to adjust inventory levels to local market conditions and generated substantial cash flow, providing ample capacity to reinvest in the business and return capital to shareholders. To that end, earlier this week we closed on the repurchase of all the outstanding preferred shares, which effectively reduced the common share base of the Company by nearly 9.7 million shares. I am very happy with the achievements this year and look forward to building on the momentum to continue to create value for all our stakeholders.”
