Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- We expect to spend more to hire, train and retain installers to support our business as labor availability remains constrained within the construction industry.
- We expect to spend cash and cash equivalents to acquire various companies with at least $100.0 million in aggregate net revenue each fiscal year.
- We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily through net cash flows from operations, our cash and cash equivalents on hand and borrowings from various lenders under equipment and loan agreements.
- 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, 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.
- Beyond the next twelve months, our principal demands for funds will be to fund working capital needs and operating expenses, to meet principal and interest obligations on our long-term debts and finance leases as they become due or mature, and to make required income tax payments.
- 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.
