Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026
- We continue to pursue multi-family project growth, expand our product lines with key national accounts, expand branded product lines into new geographic markets, and expand SKU assortment with strategic suppliers.
- We continue to strategically target acquisition opportunities that grow our higher-margin specialty products business, expand our geographic reach, or complement our existing capabilities.
- We currently expect the one-time design and implementation efforts for these initiatives to last until 2028.
- Collectively, these actions are intended to improve execution consistency, enhance margin performance, strengthen operating leverage, and improve our ability to perform across cyclical market conditions.
- We expect the acquisition of Disdero to strengthen and expand our offerings for premium specialty products, which typically have higher profit margins, and increase our market penetration in the Pacific Northwest.
- We plan to operate Disdero under its established brand name for the foreseeable future.
- These factors, and the related trends and uncertainties, have historically produced cyclicality in our results of operations, and we expect this cyclicality to continue in future periods.
- We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be cash flows from sales and operating activities in the normal course of our operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and availability from our revolving credit facility, as needed.
- For additional information about our lease obligations and expected impacts on our liquidity, see Note 7, Leases , to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
- The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
