HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Continental Building Products, Inc. (NYSE:CBPX) (the "Company"), a
leading manufacturer of gypsum wallboard and complementary finishing
products, announced today results for the second quarter ended June 30,
2018.
Highlights of Second Quarter 2018 as Compared to Second Quarter 2017
-
Earnings per share increased 84.4% to $0.59
-
Net income increased 76.6% to $21.9 million
-
EBITDA1 increased 21.3% to $41.4 million
-
Net sales increased 15.5% to $139.3 million
-
Gross margin increased to 29.4% compared to 25.5%
-
Operating cash flow improved 62.9% to $39.0 million
-
Deployed $7.4 million in capital investments
-
Deployed $10.0 million to repurchase 0.3 million shares of common stock
"We delivered higher earnings per share reflecting strong momentum in
sales and a rigorous focus on operating discipline," stated Jay
Bachmann, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are especially
pleased by our 63% improvement in operating cash flows where we
converted essentially all of our EBITDA into cash. This accomplishment
is reflective of our relentless focus on improving our efficient, low
cost operations while we continue to combat persistent inflationary
pressures."
Mr. Bachmann continued, "We improved EBITDA in the quarter by 21%
against the backdrop of tightening freight and labor markets. Higher
earnings also reflected our commitment to the Bison Way continuous
improvement effort as all of our associates work together to streamline
operations and better serve our customers. As we look forward to the
balance of the year, we expect demand to remain strong, and our volumes
to be in line with industry wallboard growth, which we now anticipate
will be 3% to 4% which represents the high end of our previously
communicated range of 2% to 4% for the full year 2018. We are encouraged
by the momentum of wallboard demand in our markets, and even more so by
the commitment and hard work of everyone in the Company to ensure that
we deliver exceptional value to our customers."
Second Quarter 2018 Results vs. Second Quarter 2017
Net sales were up 15.5% to $139.3 million for the second quarter 2018,
compared to $120.6 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a
11.6% increase in wallboard volumes. Wallboard sales volumes increased
to 722 million square feet (MMSF), compared to 647 MMSF in the prior
year quarter, attributable to strong demand in the Company's markets.
Operating income was $30.6 million, compared to $21.6 million in the
prior year quarter. This increase was primarily attributable to higher
net sales which more than offset an increase in input costs per unit.
SG&A expense was $10.4 million compared to $9.2 million in the prior
year quarter, or 7.5% of net sales compared to 7.6% in the prior year
quarter.
Interest expense decreased 12.0% to $2.7 million, compared to
$3.1 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher investment
income and capitalized interest, partially offset by the rise in LIBOR.
Net income for the second quarter 2018 increased 76.6% to $21.9 million,
or $0.59 per share, compared to $12.4 million, or $0.32 per share, in
the prior year quarter. The $9.5 million increase in net income is
primarily a result of the increase in net sales and the decrease in
provision for income taxes under the new federal and state tax rates
effective for 2018.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had cash on hand of $84.4 million and
total outstanding borrowing under the term loan agreement of
$270.2 million. During the second quarter 2018, the Company generated
cash flows from operations of $39.0 million and deployed $7.4 million in
capital investments.
During the second quarter 2018, the Company repurchased 0.3 million
shares of its common stock under its recently expanded repurchase
program for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million, representing
0.9% of its outstanding shares as of December 31, 2017. As of June 30,
2018, against the program, the Company has repurchased $127.9 million of
common stock at an average price of $22.27 per share and had a remaining
capacity of $172.1 million for future repurchases.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per
Share have been presented in this press release as supplemental measures
of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in
accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States ("GAAP"). This release presents EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted
Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share as supplemental performance
measures because management believes that they facilitate a comparative
assessment of the Company's operating performance relative to its
performance based on results under GAAP while isolating the effects of
some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to
core operating performance and eliminate certain charges that management
believes do not reflect the Company's operations and underlying
operational performance. Furthermore, the Company's Board of Directors'
compensation committee uses EBITDA to evaluate management's
compensation. Management also believes that EBITDA, EBITDA Margin,
Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful to
investors because they allow investors to view the business through the
eyes of management and the Board of Directors, facilitating comparison
of results across historical periods.
EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per
Share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies because other companies may not calculate EBITDA, EBITDA
Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share in the same
manner. EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted
Earnings Per Share are not measurements of the Company's financial
performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as
alternatives to net income or earnings per share determined in
accordance with GAAP or any other financial statement data presented as
indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP.
