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 June 30, 2026, 91% 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, we have regional distribution operations that serve the Midwest, Mountain West, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, and we operate multiple 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.

Net revenue increased 2.3%, or $17.5 million to $777.8 million, while gross profit decreased 0.4% to $258.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to a 14.1% increase in commercial end market sales growth and the contribution of our recent acquisitions, partially offset by a decline in Installation job volume in our single-family residential end market. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by vehicle-related costs including fuel, insurance and depreciation expense. Gross profit percentage was also impacted by higher sales in our Other category which has a lower gross margin than our Installation segment. 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 increased 3.9%, or $30.2 million to $808.4 million, while gross profit decreased 2.6% to $257.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in net revenue was primarily due to a 7.7% increase in multi-family end market sales growth, a 16.2% increase in commercial end market sales growth and the contribution of our recent acquisitions, partially offset by a decline in Installation job volume in our single-family residential end market. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by increased material prices, higher labor costs and larger fuel expenses.

As of June 30, 2026, we had $394.5 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 second quarter of 2025 to $0.39 per share, or $10.4 million in the aggregate. Additionally, we repurchased $76.2 million of our outstanding common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2026 for a total capital return to shareholders of $86.6 million.

Net revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 over the same period in 2025 primarily due to sales growth from our commercial end market and contributions from our recent acquisitions. Our commercial end market sales grew 10.4% on a same branch basis for the three months ended June 30, 2026 over the same period in 2025. Same branch sales from our single-family end market declined 7.2% while same branch sales from our multi-family end market decreased 1.4%, outpacing the 2.8% decline in national multi-family completions. These markets combined for a residential same branch sales decline of 6.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 over the same period in 2025. Lastly, sales within our Distribution and Manufacturing businesses increased 50.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2026 which aligns with our strategy to enhance our procurement efforts through vertical integration in select product and end markets.

The dollar increase in selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in selling compensation and increased credit loss expense on higher revenues. Selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased compared to 2025 primarily due to a decline in commissions on lower revenues. Selling expense as a percentage of sales remained flat during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2025.

Interest expense, net increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to higher debt levels. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, interest expense, net was also impacted by the write-offs of debt issuance costs resulting from our January 2026 transactions related to the Senior Notes (as defined below). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the increases were partially offset by increased interest income from higher cash balances in interest bearing money market accounts.

Previous wording
Inflation has affected the economy as a whole since 2022, but 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 mortgage 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 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 for the remainder of 2026 but anticipate pressures to lessen over time if mortgage rates are further reduced.
Current wording
Inflation has affected the economy as a whole since 2022 as inflation rates have remained above the 2% stated target of the Federal Reserve. To stabilize recent inflation spikes, the Federal Reserve took action by raising the federal funds rate in September 2026. These rate hikes indirectly affected the 30-year fixed rate mortgage average in the United States, resulting in mortgage rates peaking above 7% in the third quarter. These rate-driven pressures have curtailed housing demand as mortgage financing affordability has been reduced. We expect to continue to be impacted by the current elevated rates for the remainder of 2026 but anticipate pressures to lessen over time if mortgage rates are reduced in future periods. In addition, the Iranian conflict in the Middle East has significantly raised oil prices which has contributed to higher inflation and increased our vehicle fuel costs.
Previous wording
In addition, housing affordability is impacted by international trade as certain housing inputs such as lumber 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.

Housing affordability is also impacted by international trade as certain housing inputs such as lumber 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, subdued consumer sentiment and high new home inventory were the primary contributors to the decline in demand of new homes in the first half of 2026. Activity slowed in the residential homebuilding market as non-seasonally adjusted single-family starts, our largest end market, decreased 5.3% according to the U.S. Census during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. 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.

Previous wording
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 during the remainder of 2026 and beyond if these manufacturers reduce production this year. We also experience price increases from our suppliers from time to time, and we may have more difficulty raising selling prices to offset any material price increases in 2026 if housing demand slows. We could be subject to increased material pricing on some of the complementary building products 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. Additionally, we may be subject to increased shipping and freight costs on inventory if the recent spike in oil prices continues and those costs are passed onto us from our suppliers as we began to see during the most recent quarter. Increased market pricing, regardless of the catalyst, has and could continue to impact our results of operations in 2026, to the extent that price increases cannot be passed on to our customers. We will continue to work with our suppliers to lessen the impact on our margins and 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 anticipate a slower hiring pace in 2026, but still expect 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 six months ended June 30, 2026. 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 six months ended June 30, 2026. 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 2026.

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.

We carefully manage our working capital and operating expenses. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our working capital including cash and cash equivalents was $768.4 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 payable increasing $32.7 million due to timing and increased material costs. We continue to look for opportunities to reduce our working capital as a percentage of net revenue.

Cash used in financing activities consists primarily of debt repayments, acquisition-related obligations, dividends and stock repurchases.
Previous wording
Net cash used in financing activities decreased from 2025 to 2026 primarily due to the net proceeds on the 2034 Senior Notes (as defined below). The decrease in net cash used was partially offset by less proceeds from vehicle and equipment notes and higher capital returns to shareholders via dividends and common stock repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2026. See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, Long-Term Debt, for more information on our debt transactions.
Current wording
Net cash used in financing activities decreased from 2025 to 2026 primarily due to the net proceeds on the 2034 Senior Notes (as defined below) and fewer stock repurchases. The decrease in net cash used was partially offset by less proceeds from vehicle and equipment notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. See Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, Long-Term Debt, for more information on our debt transactions.

We have a term loan credit agreement with Royal Bank of Canada as the administrative agent and collateral agent thereunder (the “Term Loan Agreement”), dated as of December 14, 2021 (as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated April 28, 2023, by the Second Amendment thereto dated August 14, 2023, by the Third Amendment thereto dated March 28, 2024, and by the Fourth Amendment thereto dated November 26, 2024). 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 principal on our previous term loan, pay fees and increase working capital. The Term Loan 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%.

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 six months ended June 30, 2026 from those disclosed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our 2025 Form 10-K.
