Risk Overview Q2, 2026
Risk Change Over Time
- Supply Chain - Risk 1Product shortages, loss of key suppliers, and our dependence on third-party suppliers and manufacturers could affect our financial health.
Our ability to offer a wide variety of products to our BMD customers is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate product supply from manufacturers and other suppliers. In the case of the general line products that we distribute, brand preference and product performance characteristics can have a high degree of influence on our customers' purchasing decisions. In addition, although we have agreements with many of our suppliers, such agreements are generally terminable by either party on relatively short notice. On July 13, 2026, the Company received a notice of termination of the commercial distribution relationship with our primary composite decking supplier. Effective July 31, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement with another supplier of composite decking products that is intended to serve as our sole composite decking offering to our customers. Such a transition can be complex and may not be executed successfully or on our expected timeline. During the transition, we may experience a disruption in product availability, longer lead times, and reduced ability to fulfill customer orders. In addition, we anticipate some customers will shift purchases to competitors to retain access to our former composite decking offering which may result in the loss of certain customer relationships that may be difficult to recover. As a result, our sales and profitability could be impacted during the transition. The supplier transition may also require us to offer discounts to liquidate inventory or record inventory write-offs or reserves if we are unable to sell such products at expected prices or within anticipated timeframes. Further, differences in product specifications, performance characteristics, or product quality may increase the risk of customer dissatisfaction, customer loss, higher return rates, and reputational harm. As such, the supplier transition could adversely impact our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows. For additional information on the subsequent events related to our distribution agreements, see the discussion in Note 13, Subsequent Events, of the Condensed Notes to Unaudited Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 29
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
Volatility in the market price of our common stock may prevent a stockholder from being able to sell shares at or above the price paid for them. The market price for our common stock could fluctuate significantly for various reasons, including: - our operating and financial performance and prospects;- our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry;- the public's reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements, and our filings with the SEC;- changes in key personnel;- strategic actions by us, our customers, or our competitors, such as acquisitions, consolidations, or restructurings;- changes in, or failure to meet, earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track our common stock or the stock of other companies in our industry;- the failure of research analysts to cover our common stock;- general economic, industry, and market conditions;- new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;- investors' perception of our commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility;- material litigation or government investigations;- changes in general conditions in the U.S. and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, pandemics, or responses to such events;- sales of common stock by our management team or board of directors;- the granting of equity or equity-based incentives;- volume of trading in our common stock (which may be impacted by future sales or repurchases of our common stock);- changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles; and - the impact of the factors described elsewhere in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Form 10-K. In addition, the stock market has regularly experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes frequently appear to occur without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies. Hence, the price of our common stock could fluctuate based on factors that have little or nothing to do with us, and these fluctuations could materially reduce our share price.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Certain provisions of our organizational documents and other contractual provisions may make it difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors and may discourage hostile takeover attempts that some of our stockholders may consider to be beneficial.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control if our board of directors, in exercising its duty of care, determines that such changes in control are not in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. The provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include, among other things, the following: - the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms, including preferences and voting rights, of those shares without stockholder approval;- stockholder action can only be taken at a special or regular meeting and not by written consent;- advance notice procedures for nominating candidates to our board of directors or presenting matters at stockholder meetings;- allowing only our board of directors the ability to create additional director seats and fill vacancies on our board of directors; and - super-majority voting requirements to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation. We have elected in our certificate of incorporation not to be subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL), an antitakeover law. However, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203. The provisions in our certificate of incorporation prohibit us from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. While these provisions have the effect of encouraging persons seeking to acquire control of our Company to negotiate with our board of directors, they could enable the board of directors to hinder or frustrate a transaction that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests and, in that case, may prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors. These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.
