You should read these Risk Factors in conjunction with “Management’s [added: Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 and our consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 8.]
The building products industry is highly dependent on new home and [removed: multifamily] [added: multi-family] construction as well as repair and remodel, which in turn are dependent upon a number of factors, [added: outside of our control,] including interest rates, consumer confidence, employment rates, foreclosure rates, housing inventory levels and occupancy, housing demand and the health of the U.S. economy and mortgage markets.
Production of new homes and [removed: multifamily] [added: multi-family] buildings may also decline because of shortages of qualified tradesmen, reliance on inadequately capitalized builders and sub-contractors, shortages of suitable building lots and material, and lack of financing or more expensive financing available to homebuilders.
Regulatory restrictions may increase our [added: customers’] operating expenses and limit the availability of suitable building lots for our customers, which could negatively affect our sales and earnings.
Prices of building products are subject to fluctuations arising from changes in supply and demand, national and international economic conditions, including inflation and interest rates, labor costs, competition, market speculation, government regulation, and trade policies, as well as from periodic delays in the delivery of lumber and other [removed: products.][added: products, all of which are outside our control.]
In particular, low prices for wood products over a sustained period can adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash [removed: flows, as can excessive spikes in prices.][added: flows.]
[removed: If] [added: As such, if] lumber or structural panel prices were to significantly decline from current levels, our sales and profits [removed: would] [added: could] be negatively [removed: affected as compared to 2023 operating results.][added: affected.]
Our lumber and lumber sheet goods product category represented [removed: 24.1%] [added: 26%] of total net sales for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
[removed: A shortage of capacity or excess] [added: Excess] capacity in the industry can result in significant [removed: increases or] declines in prices for those building products, often within a short period of time.
We face, and will continue to face, significant competition from local, regional and other national building materials chains, as well as from privately-owned single site enterprises and new entrants into the market, due to the [removed: relatively] low barrier to, and cost of, entry.
[removed: In addition, home center retailers, which have historically concentrated their sales efforts on retail consumers] and small contractors, have [removed: intensified] [added: expanded] their [removed: marketing efforts, including expanding e-commerce offerings, to] [added: efforts into the] professional homebuilders in recent [removed: years] [added: years, including through the use of enhanced e-commerce offerings] and [added: acquisitions, and] may continue to intensify these efforts in the future.
[added: Finally, we may not be able] to maintain our operating costs or product prices at a level sufficiently low for us to compete effectively.
Furthermore, consumer preferences could shift to smaller [removed: or larger] homes in the future.
The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others: (1) the volatility of prices of lumber, wood products and other building products, (2) the cyclical nature of the homebuilding industry, (3) general economic conditions in the [removed: various areas] [added: markets] that we serve, (4) the intense competition in the industry, including expansion and growth strategies by competitors, (5) the production schedules of our customers and suppliers, (6) the effects of the weather and (7) labor costs, labor shortages and available capacity to meet customer demand for our products.
There is no guarantee that such solutions will be effective, will be adopted by our customers, will be able to compete with alternative technology solutions, including from start-up and more [removed: well established] [added: well-established] technology companies or our competitors, or that we will realize the anticipated benefits from our investments in these solutions.
[removed: Strategic acquisitions involve risks and if we are unable to realize the anticipated] [added: anticipated] benefits of these transactions or identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future, our growth, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Strategic acquisitions are an important part of our growth strategy and we seek to identify attractive acquisition opportunities that we believe will be accretive and result in increased sales and [removed: EBITDA,] [added: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”),] cost savings, synergies and various other benefits.
Production homebuilders and [removed: multifamily] [added: multi-family] builders historically have exerted and will continue to exert significant pressure on their outside suppliers, including on us, to keep prices low because of their market share and their ability to leverage such market share in the highly fragmented building products supply industry.
In addition, continued consolidation among production homebuilders or [removed: multifamily] [added: multi-family] and commercial builders, or changes in such builders’ purchasing policies or payment practices, could result in additional pricing pressure, and our financial condition, operating results and cash flows may be adversely affected.
Our ten largest customers generated [removed: 14.7%] [added: 15%] of our net sales for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
In addition, production homebuilders, [removed: multifamily] [added: multi-family] builders and other customers may: (1) seek to purchase some of the products that we currently sell directly from manufacturers, (2) elect to establish their own building products manufacturing and distribution facilities or (3) give advantages to manufacturing or distribution intermediaries in which they have an economic stake.
Furthermore, our customers are not required to purchase any minimum [removed: amount] [added: quantity] of [removed: products from us.][added: product]
[removed: That said,] [added: However,] the loss of, or an ongoing substantial decrease in the availability of products from our suppliers or the loss of key supplier arrangements could adversely impact our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
[added: Such disruptions, delays, problems, or associated costs relating to our systems or those of our significant] customers, suppliers or third-party providers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
Our operating results vary according to the amount and type of products we sell to each of our primary customer types: single-family homebuilders, remodeling contractors, and [removed: multifamily,] [added: multi-family,] commercial and other contractors.
Gross margins on sales to single-family, [removed: multifamily,] [added: multi-family,] commercial and other contractors vary based on a variety of factors, including the purchase volumes of the individual customer, the mix of products sold to that customer, the cost to serve that customer, the size and selling price of the project being constructed and the number of upgrades added to the project before or during its construction.
[removed: The cost and] potential problems and interruptions associated with the implementation of these initiatives, including those associated with managing third-party service providers and employing new web-based tools and services, could disrupt or reduce the efficiency of our operations.
In the event that we continue to grow, there can be no assurance that we will be able to keep up, expand or adapt our IT [added: infrastructure to meet evolving demand on a timely basis and at a commercially reasonable cost, or at all.]
As of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] our debt totaled [removed: $3,209.3 million,] [added: $3.7 billion,] which includes [removed: $195.3 million] [added: $0.2 billion] of finance lease and other finance obligations.
We have a $1.8 billion revolving credit facility with a maturity date of January 17, 2028 (“Revolving [removed: facility”),] [added: Facility”),] under [removed: which we had $464.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $70.3 million of letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2023.]
In addition, we also have [removed: $532.3 million] [added: $0.6 billion] in obligations under operating leases.
We are substantially reliant on cash on hand and borrowing availability under the Revolving [removed: facility,] [added: Facility,] which totaled [removed: $1.3] [added: $1.8] billion at December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] to provide working capital and fund our operations.
The agreement governing the Revolving [removed: facility] [added: Facility] contains a financial covenant requiring the satisfaction of a minimum fixed charge ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 if our excess availability falls below the greater of $80.0 million or 10% of the maximum borrowing amount, which was [removed: $180.0] [added: $171.4] million as of December 31, [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
These provisions may restrict our ability to expand or fully pursue our business [removed: strategies.][added: strategies or return capital to our shareholders through share repurchases.]
As of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we had [removed: $464.0 million, or 14.5%, of our] [added: no] outstanding debt at variable interest rates.
In addition, in response to industry conditions, we may have to temporarily idle or permanently close certain facilities in under-performing [added: markets.]
Throughout [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we generated significant excess cash flows.
We have also repurchased approximately [removed: $6.1] [added: $7.6] billion of our shares since January 2021 through the date of this filing and intend to continue repurchasing shares pursuant to share repurchase authorization approved by our board of directors in [removed: April 2023.][added: August 2024.]
The nature of our business exposes us to product liability, product warranty, casualty, construction defect, asbestos, [removed: vehicle] [added: vehicle, workplace safety] and [added: injury and] other claims and legal proceedings.
We are involved in product liability, product warranty, casualty, construction defect, asbestos, [removed: vehicle] [added: vehicle, workplace safety] and [added: injury and] other claims relating to the products we manufacture and distribute, [removed: and] services we provide or have provided [added: and our operations] that, if adversely determined, could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
In addition, home center retailers, which have historically concentrated their sales efforts on retail consumers

We are also subject to workplace safety and injury claims from our employees and contractors.
In addition, changes to global trade policies may adversely impact our business.
Adverse impacts
A measure of our success is dependent on maintaining our safety record, and an injury to, or death of, any of our employees, customers, or members of the general public related to our business activities could result in material liabilities and reputational injury.
Our business activities include an inherent risk of safety incidents that could result in injuries and deaths.
The activities we conduct at our facilities present a risk of injury or death to our employees, customers, or visitors, notwithstanding our compliance with safety regulations.
We may be unable to avoid material liabilities for an injury or death, and our workers’ compensation and other insurance policies may not be adequate or may not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which could result in material liabilities to us.
Further, as a leading supplier and manufacturer of building materials, manufactured components and construction services, we operate a fleet of commercial motor vehicles, including semi-tractor trailer trucks, flatbed trucks, and forklifts.
Accordingly, a safety incident involving our commercial fleet could result in material economic damages, as well as injuries and/or death, for our employees and any other parties involved.
Although we believe our aggregate insurance limits should be sufficient to cover our historic claims amounts, participants in commercial distribution and transportation activities (i.e., trucking and transportation) have experienced large verdicts, including some instances in which juries have awarded significant amounts.
In addition, our brand’s reputation is an important asset to our business; as a result, anything that damages our brand’s reputation could materially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
For example, negative media reports, whether or not accurate, can materially and adversely affect or reputation.
Moreover, social media has dramatically increased the rate at which negative publicity can be disseminated before there is any meaningful opportunity to respond to or address an issue to protect our reputation.

Additionally, in connection
with evaluating potential strategic transactions, we may incur significant expenses for the evaluation and due diligence investigation and negotiation of any potential transaction.

The agreements governing our debt instruments restrict our ability to dispose of assets and to use the proceeds from such dispositions.
We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or be able to obtain the proceeds that we could realize from them, and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.

We also offer software products through our Paradigm subsidiary, including drafting, estimating, quoting, and virtual home design services, which provide [removed: software] [added: digital] solutions to retailers, distributors, manufacturers and homebuilders that help them boost sales, reduce costs, and become more competitive.
As various current market dynamics, including inflationary pressures, mortgage [removed: rate increases] [added: rates] and [removed: shifts in] housing affordability [removed: improve,] [added: shift,] industry forecasters, including the National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”), expect to see housing demand increase in the near-term.
Additionally, we [removed: have been successful in] [added: continue to focus on] expanding our custom homebuilder base while maintaining acceptable credit standards.
Shortening cycle [removed: time] [added: times] from start to completion is a key imperative of the homebuilders during periods of strong consumer demand.
Our operations are subject to fluctuations arising from changes in supply and demand, national and local economic conditions, labor costs and availability, competition, government regulation, trade [removed: policies, rising] [added: policies (including with respect to tariffs on imported goods),] inflation and other factors that affect the homebuilding industry, such as demographic trends, [removed: increasing] interest rates, housing starts, the high cost of land development, employment levels, consumer confidence, and the availability of credit to homebuilders, contractors, and homeowners.
[removed: *Multifamily] [added: *Multi-family] and Light Commercial Business.* Our primary focus has been on single-family residential new construction and the repair and remodel end market.
However, through recent acquisitions we have expanded our operational footprint in the [removed: multifamily] [added: multi-family] market, predominantly five-story and smaller, wood construction, and the light commercial market, growing our [removed: value-add] [added: value-added] components and millwork product offerings in this end market.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, actual U.S. total housing starts for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] were 1.4 million, a decrease of [removed: 9.0%] [added: 3.9%] compared to the year ended December 31, [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]

Net sales decreased primarily as a result of a core organic sales decrease of 5.1% due to a continued normalization in the multi-family customer segment and declines in the single-family customer segment as home size and complexity decrease, while commodity price deflation decreased net sales by another 1.8%.
These decreases were partially offset by increases in net sales from acquisitions and increased selling days of 2.1% and 0.7%, respectively.

(1) Manufactured products and windows, doors and millwork are collectively referred to as total value-added products.
We experienced decreased net sales in our manufactured products categories primarily due to a continued normalization in multi-family and commodity deflation.
Our windows, doors, and millwork sales declined primarily due to price normalization.
For the comparable period, specialty building products and services and lumber and lumber sheet goods sales remained relatively consistent.
This decrease was attributable to single-family and multi-family margin normalization.
Our effective tax rate was 22.3% in 2024 which was relatively flat compared to the 22.4% in 2023.
Inherent in such fair
During 2023 we completed a number of acquisitions for a combined $252.5 million purchase price, net of cash acquired, including the acquisitions of (i) Noltex Truss and its affiliates (“Noltex”), (ii) Builders Millwork and Supply, Inc. (“BMS”) (iii) J.B. Millworks, LLC (“JBM”), (iv) Church and Church, Inc. (“Church’s”), (v) Franks Cash and Carry, Inc. (“FCC”), (vi) Standale Lumber, LLC and Granville Lumber Co., LLC (“Standale”), and (vii) Encore Performance, LLC (“Encore”).
On January 17 and April 3, 2023, the Company amended the Revolving facility to extend the maturity to January 17, 2028, and to include additional pricing tiers for the applicable margin.
Collectively, these transactions have extended our debt maturity.

Net sales decreased primarily as a result of a core organic sales decrease of 17.3% and a commodity price deflation decrease of 11.1%, partially offset by sales growth from acquisitions of 3.6%.

We experienced decreased net sales in all of our product categories primarily due to a slow-down in single-family housing starts throughout the year, resulting in a decline in core organic sales, and commodity price deflation.
This increase was attributable to an improved product mix toward our value-add products, including recent strategic investments in multifamily value-add operations.
Our effective tax rate was 22.4% in 2023 and 23.0% in 2022.
Our effective tax rate was favorably affected in 2023 by the impact of federal and state tax credits on decreased tax expense.

The Company operates approximately [removed: 570] [added: 590] locations in 43 states across the United States (“U.S.”), which are internally organized into geographic operating divisions.
Customers in the Pro Segment primarily include production and custom homebuilders, remodeling contractors, and [removed: multifamily] [added: multi-family] builders.
Growth within these markets is linked to a number of key factors, including demographic trends, housing demand, [added: housing trends including the size of new homes,] interest rates, employment levels, availability of credit, foreclosure rates, consumer confidence, the availability of qualified tradesmen, and the state of the economy in general.
The residential building products industry is characterized by several key trends, including greater utilization of manufactured components, an expanding role of the distributor in providing turn-key services and a consolidation of suppliers by homebuilders, as [removed: described in more detail below.]
Additionally, there is increasing interest in using digital [removed: tools] [added: solutions] to help drive end-to-end efficiencies throughout the construction industry.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the single-family residential construction market was an estimated [removed: $392.1] [added: $428.9] billion in [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] which was [removed: 13.5% lower] [added: 7.1% higher] than [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]

Horton, Inc., Dream Finders Homes, Inc., Lennar Corporation, Pulte Homes, Inc., [added: Meritage Homes,] Taylor Morrison Home Corporation, and Toll Brothers Inc.
In addition to the largest production homebuilders, we also service and supply regional production and local custom homebuilders as well as repair and remodeling contractors and [removed: multifamily] [added: multi-family] builders.
Our sales team [removed: expects to work very] [added: works] closely with the designers on a day-to-day basis in order to ensure the appropriate products are identified, ordered or produced and delivered on time to the building site.
Servicing a broad range of homebuilders, including single-family and [removed: multifamily] [added: multi-family] builders, and remodeling contractors allows us to more effectively manage market conditions that may have an outsized adverse impact on a specific customer segment.
[removed: While not as sensitive to commodity price fluctuations as lumber and lumber sheet goods, the] products in this category are constructed using lumber and lumber sheet goods, [removed: and thus are somewhat sensitive] [added: therefore this category does have limited exposure] to commodity price fluctuations.
We manufacture a portion of the vinyl windows that we distribute in our [removed: plant in] Houston, Texas [added: plant] which allows us to supply builders, primarily in the Texas market, with cost-competitive products.
Our manufacturing facilities utilize industry leading [removed: technology, including automated robotic truss lines,] [added: technology] and high-quality materials to improve product quality, increase efficiency, reduce lead times and minimize production errors.

Equity Investments
The Company’s equity investments are accounted for using equity method accounting and are recorded as other assets, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not considered significant to the Company.

The impact to each of the prior periods’ net sales for each product category was less than 1% for 2023 and 2022.
Cloud Computing Arrangements
We assess cloud computing arrangements to determine whether the contract meets the definition of a service contract or conveys a software license.
When cloud computing arrangements meet the definition of a service contract, we capitalize expenditures for implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs incurred.
Once the implementation of a cloud computing arrangement is complete and ready for its intended use, the Company amortizes the costs over the expected term of the hosting arrangement using the straight-line method to the same income statement line as the associated cloud operating expenses.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had capitalized costs, net of amortization, of $9.3 million and $1.3 million included in Other current assets, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, we had capitalized costs, net of amortization, of $52.7 million included in Other assets, net.
We did not have any non-current amounts recorded related to these agreements as of December 31, 2023.
Amortization expense for these costs was $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We did not have any amortization expense related to these costs during the year ended December 31, 2022.

The carrying amount of the Revolving facility at December 31, 2023, approximates fair value as the rates are comparable to those at which we could currently borrow under similar terms, are variable and incorporate a measure of our credit risk.
As such, the fair value of the Revolving facility was also classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through additional and more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses.
The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
The guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of
adoption.
