2026 First Quarter Highlights
Current report
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we amended and extended our asset-based lending credit agreement which included increasing the commitment on our revolving line of credit to $375.0 million. Additionally, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2034. We used the net proceeds to redeem the outstanding principal and accrued interest on our 5.75% senior unsecured notes previously due 2028, pay fees and expenses relating to the offering and to increase cash reserves for general corporate use, including payments for future acquisitions. As a result of these transactions, we will have no significant debt maturity prior to 2031. For further information about our debt transactions, see Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, Long-Term Debt.
Current report
The decrease in selling expenses on both a dollar and percentage of net revenue basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in selling compensation on lower revenues.
Current report
Interest expense, net increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to higher debt levels and write-offs of debt issuance costs resulting from our January 2026 transactions related to the Senior Notes (as defined below), partially offset by increased interest income on money market accounts. See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, Long-Term Debt, for more information on the January 2026 debt transactions.

2025 Third Quarter Highlights
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net revenue increased 1.5% over the same period in 2024 due to contributions from our recent acquisitions and sales growth from our commercial end market.
Previous report
The dollar increase in selling expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in selling compensation and increased credit loss expense on higher revenues. Selling expense as a percentage of sales increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 due to higher compensation expense.
Previous report
Interest expense, net decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 due to decreased interest expense associated with prior year term loan repricing, partially offset by decreased interest income on money market accounts.

We are one of the nation’s largest insulation installers for the residential new construction market and are also a diversified installer of complementary building products throughout the United States, including waterproofing, fire-stopping and fireproofing, garage doors, rain gutters, window blinds, shower doors, closet shelving, mirrors and other products. We offer our portfolio of services for new and existing single-family and multi-family residential and commercial building projects in all 48 continental states and the District of Columbia from our national network of over 250 branch locations. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, 93% of our net revenue came from the service-based installation of these products across all of our end markets which forms our Installation operating segment and single reportable segment. In addition, three regional distribution operations serve the Midwest, Mountain West, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, and we operate two cellulose insulation manufacturing facilities. We believe our business is well positioned to continue to profitably grow over the long-term due to our strong balance sheet, liquidity and our continuing acquisition strategy.

Previous wording
Net revenue increased 2.3%, or $17.6 million to $778.2 million, while gross profit increased 2.9% to $264.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to the 11.7% increase in commercial end market same branch sales growth and the contribution of our recent acquisitions, partially offset by a decline in Installation job volume and sales decreases in the residential end markets. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by selling price and product mix improvements and improved material costs. Specifically, gross profit outpaced sales growth due to higher selling prices compared to the prior year as we continued to prioritize profitability over sales volume. Certain net revenue and industry metrics we use to monitor our operations are discussed in the "Key Measures of Performance" section below, and further details regarding results of our various end markets are discussed further in the "Net Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit" section below.
Current wording
Net revenue decreased 3.5%, or $24.3 million to $660.5 million, while gross profit decreased 5.1% to $212.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease in net revenue was primarily due to a 9.9% decline in Installation segment volume. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by higher labor costs, vehicle insurance, depreciation and other indirect costs from shifts in end market and product mix. Certain net revenue and industry metrics we use to monitor our operations are discussed in the "Key Measures of Performance" section below, and further details regarding results of our various end markets are discussed further in the "Net Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit" section below.
Previous wording
As of September 30, 2025, we had $333.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and we have not drawn on our revolving line of credit. This strong liquidity position allowed us to return capital to shareholders by increasing our regular quarterly dividend 6% over the third quarter of 2024 to $0.37 per share, or $10.1 million in the aggregate. Additionally, we repurchased $51.5 million of our outstanding common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2025 for a total capital return to shareholders of $61.6 million.
Current wording
As of March 31, 2026, we had $474.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and had not drawn on our revolving line of credit. This strong liquidity position allowed us to return capital to shareholders by increasing our regular quarterly dividend 5% over the first quarter of 2025 to $0.39 per share, or $10.5 million in the aggregate. We also increased our annual variable dividend from $1.70 a share paid in the first quarter of 2025 to $1.80 a share, or a 6% increase, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Additionally, we repurchased $25.4 million of our outstanding common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026 for a total capital return to shareholders of $84.6 million.
Previous wording
We utilize certain net revenue and industry metrics to monitor our operations. Key metrics include total sales growth and same branch growth metrics for our consolidated results, our Installation reportable segment and our Other category consisting of our Distribution and Manufacturing operating segments. We also monitor sales growth for our Installation segment by end market and track volume growth and price/mix growth.
Current wording
We utilize certain net revenue and industry metrics to monitor our operations. Key metrics include total sales growth and same branch growth metrics for our consolidated results, our Installation reportable segment and our Other category consisting of our Distribution and Manufacturing operating segments. We also monitor sales growth for our Installation segment by end market and track volume growth and price/mix growth. Furthermore, we now present additional volume and price/mix growth metrics that include the heavy commercial subset of the commercial end market due to the greater impact of that end market on our revenue and results of operations.
Previous wording
Net revenue increased during the three months ended September 30, 2025 over the same period in 2024 due to both organic growth and contributions from our recent acquisitions. Same branch sales from our single-family end market declined 1.9% while same branch sales from our multi-family end market remained resilient with a decrease of only 6.5%, far outpacing the 25.4% decline in national multi-family completions through the latest U.S. Census Bureau data available of August 2025. These markets combined for a residential same branch sales decline of 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 over the same period in 2024, driven primarily by a 4.8% same branch sales volume decline and selling price and product mix growth of 1.5%. Conversely, our commercial end market grew 11.7% on a same branch basis for the three months ended September 30, 2025 over the same period in 2024, resulting in a 0.4% increase in total same branch sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 over the same period in 2024. Lastly, sales within our Distribution and Manufacturing businesses, including intercompany sales, increased 29.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2025 which aligns with our strategy to enhance our procurement efforts through vertical integration in select product and end markets.
Current wording
Net revenue decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 over the same period in 2025 primarily due to the decline in residential job volume. Same branch sales from our single-family end market declined 11.3% while same branch sales from our multi-family end market decreased 11.2%, outpacing the 16.7% decline in national multi-family completions. These markets combined for a residential same branch sales decline of 11.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 over the same period in 2025. The net revenue decline was partially offset by our commercial end market increasing 10.7% on a same branch basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 over the same period in 2025. Lastly, sales within our Distribution and Manufacturing businesses increased 34.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2026 which aligns with our strategy to enhance our procurement efforts through vertical integration in select product and end markets.
Previous wording
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, gross profit increased as a percentage of net revenue as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to customer and supplier mix, partially offset by increased insurance costs and additional vehicle depreciation expense. Gross profit decreased as a percentage of net revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher insurance and vehicle costs. We will continue to work with our suppliers to lessen the impact on our margins and with our customers to offset further cost increases through selling price adjustments.
Current wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, gross profit as a percentage of net revenue decreased as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher labor costs and other indirect costs from shifts in product and end market mix, increased vehicle costs, including depreciation expense and auto insurance, and increased freight and shipping costs from higher Manufacturing and Distribution activity. The decline in gross profit percentage was partially offset by lower material costs from changes in end market and supplier mix. We will continue to work with our suppliers to lessen the impact on our margins and with our customers to offset further cost increases through selling price adjustments.
Previous wording
The dollar increase in administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to an increase in compensation, whichwas attributable to both acquisitions and wage inflation. Also, facility costs increased due to inflationary pressures and acquisitions factored into the overall increase in administrative operating expenses. Administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to wage inflationary pressures, while administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to organizational optimization and lower transaction fees.
Current wording
The dollar increase in administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily due to an increase in medical benefits and liability insurance costs. In addition, facility costs increased due to inflationary pressures and acquisitions. Administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025 primarily due to inflationary pressures on insurance costs, partially offset by organizational optimization cost savings and lower transaction fees.
Previous wording
Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024 decreased primarily due to the acquisition of fewer finite-lived intangible assets.
Current wording
Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 2025 increased primarily due to the acquisition of more finite-lived intangible assets.

The effective tax rates for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and were favorably impacted by recognition of a windfall tax benefit from equity award vesting. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were based on an estimated annual effective tax rate, and the rate for nine months ended September 30, 2024 was favorably impacted by recognition of a windfall tax benefit from equity vesting. We do not expect the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to have a material impact to our 2025 effective tax rate.
Current wording
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were based on an estimated annual effective tax rate for federal, state and local tax expense.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded unrealized losses of $2.3 million and $12.6 million, net of taxes, on our cash flow hedges due to the market's expectations for lower interest rates in the future relative to our two forward interest rate swaps. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded unrealized losses of $11.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, net of taxes, on our cash flow hedges due to the changes in the market's expectations for future long-term interest rates.

Inflation, Housing Affordability and Interest Rates
Current wording
Inflation, Housing Affordability and Mortgage Interest Rates
Previous wording
Inflation that affected the economy as a whole in 2022 began moderating in 2023 as the Federal Reserve took actions to stabilize inflation by raising the federal funds rate multiple times through July 2023. These rate hikes indirectly affected the 30-year fixed rate mortgage average in the United States, resulting in some rates peaking above 7% in recent years. These rate-driven pressures have curtailed housing demand as mortgage financing affordability has been reduced. Inflation rates in 2025 have remained above the 2% stated target, however the Federal Reserve has signaled plans to potentially lower rates further during the remainder of 2025. While a more accommodating Federal Reserve monetary policy does not directly determine mortgage rates, the expected easing of rates will likely contribute to a downward trend in mortgage rates in the near term. We expect to be impacted by the current elevated rates for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026 but anticipate pressures to lessen over time if mortgage rates are further reduced in the coming months.

These rate-driven pressures have curtailed housing demand as mortgage financing affordability has been reduced. Inflation rates in 2026 have remained above the 2% stated target, and the Iranian conflict in the Middle East has significantly raised oil prices which could push inflation higher and cause the Federal Reserve to continue to pause rate cuts or institute new rate hikes. While a more accommodating Federal Reserve monetary policy does not directly determine mortgage rates, any easing of the federal funds rate would likely contribute to a downward trend in mortgage rates. We expect to continue to be impacted by the current elevated rates in 2026 but anticipate pressures to lessen over time if mortgage rates are further reduced.
Previous wording
In addition, housing affordability is impacted by international trade as certain housing inputs are more reliant on imports than domestic production. While we purchase the large majority of the products we install and sell domestically, our business could be impacted if overall home affordability is further reduced by higher material prices due to increased tariffs.

Previous wording
Elevated home prices, high mortgage rates, recent economic uncertainty and rising new home inventory were the primary contributors to the decline in demand of new homes in 2025. Activity slowed in the residential homebuilding market as non-seasonally adjusted single-family starts, our largest end market, decreased 4.9% through August 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, per the latest available U.S. Census Bureau data. Employment remains stable and continues to support demand for residential new construction activity despite the affordability concerns and recent economic uncertainty. As a result, while we expect cyclicality to continue in the housing industry, we believe the long-term opportunities in our residential and commercial end markets are favorable. Our largest customers are publicly traded homebuilders, and these builders have been able to increase affordability by offering mortgage rate buydowns as incentives to their customers. Regarding the repair and remodel markets, many existing homeowners are locked into low interest mortgages and an aging housing stock exists in many areas of the United States, bolstering demand in this end market.

We typically purchase the materials we use in our business directly from manufacturers. The largest fiberglass manufacturers have cut production capacity during past business cycles which has caused periods of industry-wide supply allocations. While we are not currently experiencing material supply shortages, we could incur such shortages in the remainder of 2025 and beyond if these manufacturers reduce production this year. We also experience price increases from our suppliers from time to time, including multiple increases over the last four years caused by supply shortages and general economic inflationary pressures. We could be subject to increased material pricing on some of the materials we install and sell due to tariffs imposed on goods imported from certain foreign nations. The extent of these increases will depend on a variety of factors including the magnitude of each tariff, the extent our vendors pass on the tariffs they incur, and the number of countries subject to tariffs in the future. We have not experienced a material impact from tariffs to date in 2025. Increased market pricing, regardless of the catalyst, has and could continue to impact our results of operations in 2025, to the extent that price increases cannot be passed on to our customers. We may have more difficulty raising prices in 2025 if housing demand contracts further. We will continue to work with our customers to adjust selling prices to offset higher costs as they occur.

Our business is labor intensive and the majority of our employees work as installers on local construction sites. We expect to continue to spend more to hire, train and retain installers to support our business, as tight labor availability continues within the construction industry. Our workers’ compensation costs also continue to rise as we increase our coverage for additional personnel.

Our employee retention rates remained better than industry averages in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We believe this is a result of our strong culture and the various programs meant to benefit our employees, including our financial wellness plan, emotional well-being coaching, longevity stock compensation plan and comprehensive benefit packages we offer. We also provide assistance from the Installed Building Products Foundation meant to benefit our employees, their families and their communities. While improved retention drives lower costs to recruit and train new employees, resulting in greater installer productivity, these improvements are somewhat offset by the additional costs of these incentives.

We believe that our cash flows from operations, combined with our current cash levels and available borrowing capacity, will be adequate to support our ongoing operations and to fund our business needs, commitments and contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months as evidenced by our net positive cash flows from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We believe that we have access to additional funds, if needed, through the capital markets to obtain further debt financing under the current market conditions, but we cannot guarantee that such financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. In the short-term, we expect the seasonal trends we typically experience to return, including higher sales in the spring, summer and fall than in the winter. This could affect the timing of cash collections and payments during the rest of 2025.

In "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2024 Form 10-K, we disclosed that we had $1.1 billion aggregate long-term material cash requirements as of December 31, 2024. In addition to these commitments, we have various long-term commitments to purchase material with variable pricing. See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information on these commitments. There were no other material changes to our cash requirements during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q outside of the normal course of our business.
Current wording
In "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2025 Form 10-K, we disclosed that we had $1.1 billion aggregate long-term material cash requirements as of December 31, 2025. Our long-term commitments have since changed materially due to the issuance of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2034 and using a portion of the proceeds to redeem in full the outstanding principal and interest on our $300.0 million senior unsecured notes due 2028. This transaction reduced the principal payments included in the 2028 known obligations by $300.0 million and increased the thereafter known obligations by $500.0 million. The increased principal and extended maturity of the 2034 Senior Notes (as defined below) will also increase the amount of interest we will be required to pay in 2026 and beyond. There were no other material changes to our cash requirements during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q outside of the normal course of our business. For further information about our debt transactions, see Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, Long-Term Debt.
Previous wording
We carefully manage our working capital and operating expenses. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our working capital including cash and cash equivalents was $663.0 million and $695.9 million, respectively. The decrease in 2025 was primarily driven by other current assets decreasing $32.8 million, the majority of which was a result of the amortization of prepaid expenses including insurance. There was also a $6.9 million decrease in inventory levels that contributed to lower working capital. We continue to look for opportunities to reduce our working capital as a percentage of net revenue.
Current wording
We carefully manage our working capital and operating expenses. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our working capital including cash and cash equivalents was $820.3 million and $698.4 million, respectively. The increase in 2026 was primarily driven by the increase in cash due to the net borrowings of our 2034 Senior Notes (as defined below). The increase was partially offset by accounts receivable decreasing $17.7 million on lower job volume and other current assets decreasing $9.9 million, the majority of which was a result of the amortization of prepaid expenses including insurance. We continue to look for opportunities to reduce our working capital as a percentage of net revenue.
Previous wording

Current wording
Our primary uses of cash from operating activities include payments for inventory, compensation costs, leases, income taxes and other general corporate expenditures included in net income.
Previous wording
Net cash provided by operating activities increased from 2024 to 2025 primarily due to higher non-cash adjustments, a decrease in other assets and lower inventory levels partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in accounts receivable due to higher net revenue.
Current wording
Net cash provided by operating activities increased from 2025 to 2026 primarily due to higher non-cash adjustments, a decrease in other current assets and lower accounts receivable due to lower job volume partially offset by a decrease in accrued compensation and an increase in other non-current assets.
Previous wording
Sources of cash from investing activities consist primarily of proceeds from the sales of property and equipment, settlements with interest rate swap counterparties and, periodically, maturities from short term investments. Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of purchases of property and equipment, payments for acquisitions and, periodically, purchases of short term investments.

Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of purchases of property and equipment, payments for acquisitions and, periodically, purchases of short term investments.
Previous wording
Net cash used in investing activities decreased from 2024 to 2025 primarily due to less spending on acquisitions of businesses and fewer purchases of property and equipment in 2025 compared to 2024, partially offset by additional purchases of insignificant bolt-on acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Current wording
Net cash used in investing activities increased from 2025 to 2026 primarily due to increased spending on acquisitions of businesses in 2026 compared to 2025, partially offset by fewer purchases of property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Previous wording
Net cash used in financing activities increased from 2024 to 2025 primarily due to higher amounts of capital returned to shareholders in connection with common stock repurchases and dividend payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These increases were partially offset by greater net proceeds from vehicle and equipment notes. See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, Stockholders' Equity, for more information on the dividends paid and stock repurchases.
Current wording
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased from 2025 to 2026 primarily due to the net proceeds on the 2034 Senior Notes (as defined below).

Financial Statements, Note 7, Long-Term Debt, for more information on the senior notes.

The Senior Notes will mature on February 1, 2028 and interest is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 1 and August 1, commencing on February 1, 2020. The net proceeds from the Senior Notes offering were $295.0 million after debt issuance costs.
Current wording
In January 2026, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes (the "2034 Senior Notes").

The remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

In March 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to our Term Loan Credit Agreement ("Third Amendment"). The Third Amendment amended certain terms of the previous seven-year term loan facility with Royal Bank of Canada as the administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder under our credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”), dated as of December 14, 2021 (as previously amended by the First Amendment thereto dated April 28, 2023 and the Second Amendment thereto dated August 14, 2023). The Third Amendment allowed for the issuance of a new term loan (the "Term Loan") in the amount of $500.0 million which will mature on March 28, 2031. Net proceeds of the Term Loan were used to refinance the remaining $490.0 million on our previous term loan, pay fees and increase working capital. In November 2024, we repriced our Term Loan by entering into Amendment No. 4 to our Term loan Credit Agreement ("Fourth Amendment"). The amended Term Loan now bears interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either: the adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.75% per annum, or an alternative base rate plus 0.75%.

The amendment also extends the maturity date from September 26, 2024 to February 17, 2027.

Including outstanding letters of credit, our remaining availability under the ABL Revolver as of September 30, 2025 was $246.5 million.

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is a reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported using different assumptions or under different conditions. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from those disclosed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our 2024 Form 10-K.
