Overall, our record 2022 performance is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of IBP’s employees,” stated Jeff Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Edwards continued, “Our 2022 results also produced record operating cash flow, which supported our acquisition strategy, share repurchase program, and dividend policy.

In addition, during 2022 we invested $137.6 million to repurchase 1.5 million shares of IBP stock and paid shareholders $62.7 million in cash dividends.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Results Overview

For the fourth quarter of 2022, net revenue was a fourth quarter record of $686.5 million, an increase of 28.6% from $533.7 million in the same period of 2021. On a consolidated same branch basis, net revenue improved 20.2% from the prior year quarter, which was attributable to a 24.3% increase in price/mix more than offsetting a 1.3% decline in completed job volume during the fourth quarter relative to the same period last year. Residential sales growth within our Installation segment was 21.1% on a same branch basis in the quarter. Commercial sales growth was 17.6% and up 13.2% from the prior year quarter on a same branch sales basis.

Gross profit improved 39.1% to $217.4 million from $156.3 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross profit* as a percent of net revenue was 31.7%, which adjusts for the Company’s share-based compensation expense, as well as expenses directly related to COVID-19, compared to 29.3% for the same period last year. The recently acquired distribution companies disclosed in the Other segment have lower gross margins than our Installation operating segment. During the 2022 fourth quarter, the Other segment had a segment gross profit margin of 24.0% as compared to 34.0% for the Installation operating segment. Our Other segment includes our more recent acquisitions in the distribution businesses, which had an impact on our consolidated gross profit margin of about 70 basis points. The distribution businesses had a minimal impact on the prior year fourth quarter as one business had been acquired in late December.

Selling and administrative expense, as a percent of net revenue, was 15.3% compared to 18.2% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted selling and administrative expense*, as a percent of net revenue, was 16.7% compared to 17.4% in the prior year quarter.

Net income was $68.7 million, or $2.42 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.99 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income* was $69.2 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, compared to $42.2 million, or $1.42 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income accounts for the impact of non-core items in both periods, including an addback for non-cash amortization expense related to acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA* was $115.4 million, a 54.3% increase from $74.8 million in the prior year quarter, largely due to strong sales growth, higher gross margin, and lower selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net revenue compared to the prior year quarter.

Full Year 2022 Results Overview

For the year ended December 31, 2022, net revenue was a record $2.7 billion, an increase of 35.6% from $2.0 billion in 2021. On a same branch basis, net revenue improved 24.6% from the prior year. Residential same branch sales growth was 29.2% for the year, attributable to improved price gains and end-market mix, which compared to an increase in total U.S. new residential construction housing unit completions of 3.7%. Our commercial end-market net revenue increased 15.2% with same branch sales growth of 6.6% in 2022. Same branch sales within our heavy commercial business experienced a decline of 3.8% over the prior year period.

Gross profit improved 40.4% to $827.8 million from $589.5 million in the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 31.0%, compared to 29.9% for the same period last year. Adjusted gross profit* improved 40.3% to $828.4 million from $590.4 million in the prior year. Adjusted gross profit as a percent of total revenue was 31.0%, which adjusts for the Company’s share-based compensation expense and employee-related expenses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to 30.0% for the same period last year.

Net cash from operating activities was $277.9 million, compared to $138.3 million in the prior year. The 101% increase in cash from operating activities was largely driven by higher net income for the full year ended December 31, 2022, lower working capital requirements needed to support sales growth for the year, and proceeds from the termination of interest rate swap agreements.
