Installed Building Products reports Q3 EPS $2.79, consensus $2.38

Reports Q revenue $706.5M, consensus $707.8M…”Our third quarter and year-to-date financial results reflect the continued benefits of our product, end-market and geographic diversification strategies, as softer single-family sales were partially offset by the continuation of robust sales growth in our multi-family end market. While we expect interest rate volatility to exacerbate cyclicality in the housing industry, we believe the long-term opportunities in our residential and commercial end markets remain attractive and as of the end of the third quarter, our multi-family revenue is supported by a stable backlog,” stated Jeff Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We also continue to prioritize the value of our services over volume, which drove strong margins during the quarter. As a result, we achieved record quarterly net profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023. With our strong balance sheet and asset light business model, we continue to pursue growth through acquisitions, while distributing cash dividends, and opportunistically repurchasing our common stock,” continued Mr. Edwards. “I am proud of our team’s continued hard work and dedication throughout a rapidly changing economic backdrop for the housing industry. Our focus remains steadfast and we continue to advance toward our goals with the third annual ESG report highlighting a core business value of ‘doing the right thing’ for our employees, customers, communities, and shareholders. I believe our success in 2023, and throughout IBP‘s history, demonstrates that ‘doing the right thing’ creates significant value for our stakeholders,” concluded Mr. Edwards.
