TOPBUILD CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATIO N

 

On June 30, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Masco Corporation (“Masco” or the “Former Parent”) completed the separation (the “Separation”) of its Installation and Other Services businesses (the “Services Business”) from its other businesses.  On the Effective Date, TopBuild Corp. (“TopBuild” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation formed in anticipation of the Separation, became an independent public company which holds, through its subsidiaries, the assets and liabilities associated with the Services Business.  The Separation was achieved through the distribution of 100 percent of the outstanding capital stock of TopBuild to holders of Masco common stock.  References to “TopBuild,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to TopBuild Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Prior to the Separation, the consolidated financial statements of TopBuild were prepared on a stand-alone basis and reflect the historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Masco’s Services Business, including an allocable portion of corporate costs. 

 

We report our business in two segments: Installation and Distribution.  Our Installation segment principally includes the sale and installation of insulation and other building products.  Our Distribution segment principally includes the distribution of insulation and other building products.  Our segments are based on our operating units, for which financial information is regularly evaluated by our corporate operating executives.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to state fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2016, our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2015, was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Financial Statement Presentation.  The condensed consolidated financial statements have been developed in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.  Our financial statements for the periods prior to the Separation have been derived from the financial statements and accounting records of Masco using the historical results of operations and historical basis of assets and liabilities of the Services Business, and reflect Masco’s net investment in the Services Business. 

 

All intercompany transactions between TopBuild entities have been eliminated. Transactions between TopBuild and Masco prior to the Separation, with the exception of purchase transactions, are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity in “Net transfer from Former Parent” and in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity as “Former Parent Investment.”

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Separation include allocations of general corporate expenses incurred by Masco for functions such as corporate human resources, finance, and legal, including salaries, benefits, and other related costs.  These general corporate expenses were allocated to TopBuild on the basis of sales.  Total allocated general corporate costs were $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  These costs were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Table of Contents

TOPBUILD CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

Prior to the Separation, Masco incurred certain operating expenses on behalf of the Services Business that were allocated to TopBuild based on direct benefit or usage.  These allocated operating expenses were $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  These costs were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.  An estimate of these operating expenses was allocated to each of TopBuild’s reporting segments based on a percentage of sales.

 

For the periods prior to the Separation, t hese condensed consolidated financial statements may not reflect the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we operated as a stand-alone company and may not reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had we operated as a stand-alone company.  Actual costs that would have been incurred if we had operated as a stand-alone company prior to the Separation would have depended on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including, without limitation, information technology and infrastructure.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we identified an error related primarily to the misallocation of a favorable legal settlement to general corporate expenses of TopBuild in the fourth quarter of 2014.  The impact of the error was to understate the allocation of corporate expenses reported as selling, general, and administrative expense and overstate operating profit by $1.9 million.  The error was not considered material to the previously reported 2014 financial statements.  The Company recorded the correction of the error by an out-of-period adjustment in the first quarter of 2015, which is therefore reflected in the three months ended March 31, 2015, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

Share-based Compensation.  Our share-based compensation program currently consists of restricted share awards (“RSAs”) and stock option awards (“Options”).  Share-based compensation is reported in selling, general, and administrative expense.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:     In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard for revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”).  The purpose of ASC 606 is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability across industries.  ASC 606 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018.  We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our results of operations.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11 (“ASU 2015-11”) “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.”  Under the amendment, ASU 2015-11, inventory should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is permitted; however, we do not anticipate adopting this standard until the first quarter of 2017.  We do not anticipate the adoption of this amendment will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations .

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases.”  This standard requires a lessee to recognize most leases on their balance sheet.  Companies are required to use a modified retrospective transition method for all existing leases.  This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein.  Early adoption is permitted.  We have not yet selected an adoption date nor have we determined the effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”  This update is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows.  Under this guidance, an entity recognizes all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement.  This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will require us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of 2017.  Early adoption is permitted.  We have not yet selected an adoption date nor have we determined the effect on our financial position or results of operations.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

 

In connection with the Separation, the Company and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a credit agreement and related collateral and guarantee documentation (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other lenders and agents party thereto.  The Credit Agreement was executed by the parties thereto on June 9, 2015, with an effective date of June 30, 2015.

 

The Credit Agreement consists of a senior secured term loan facility (“term loan facility”) of $200 million and a senior secured revolving credit facility (“revolving facility”) which provides borrowing availability of up to $125 million.  Together, the term loan facility and revolving facility are referred to as the credit facility.  Additional borrowing capacity under the credit facility may be accessed by the Company in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million without the consent of the lenders, subject to certain conditions (including existing or new lenders providing commitments in respect of such additional borrowing capacity).  The credit facility is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2020.

 

The revolving facility includes a $100 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $15 million sublimit for swingline loans.  Swingline loans and letters of credit issued under the revolving facility reduce the availability under the revolving facility.

 

The proceeds of the $200 million term loan facility were used to finance a cash distribution to Masco in connection with the Separation.  We expect to use the borrowing capacity under the revolving facility from time to time for working capital and funds for general corporate purposes. 

 

Interest payable on the credit facility is based on either:

 

-

the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”), adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (the “Adjusted LIBOR Rate”); or

 

-

the Base Rate, which is defined as the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds open rate plus 0.50 percent, and (c) the daily LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.0 percent,

 

plus, (A) in the case of Adjusted LIBOR Rate borrowings, applicable margins ranging from 1.00 percent to 2.00 percent per annum, and (B) in the case of Base Rate borrowings, spreads ranging from 0.00 percent to 1.00 percent per annum, depending on, in each of (A) and (B), the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio, defined as the ratio of debt to EBITDA, ranging from less than or equal to 1.00:1.00 to greater than 2.50:1.00.  The interest rate period with respect to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate interest rate option can be set at one-, two-, three-, or six-months, and in certain circumstances one-week or 12-months, as selected by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The interest rate as of March 31, 2016, was 2.44 percent.

 

The Company shall make payments on the outstanding principal amount of the term loan in quarterly principal installments based on annual amortization of (a) for the first year, 5 percent, (b) for the second, third, and fourth years, 10 percent per year, and (c) for the fifth year, 15 percent, with the remaining balance payable on the scheduled maturity date of the term loan.

Borrowings under the credit facility are prepayable at the Company’s option without premium or penalty.  The Company is required to prepay the term loan with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, debt issuances, or casualty events, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens; to make certain investments or loans; to make certain restricted payments; to enter into consolidations, mergers, sales of material assets, and other fundamental changes; to transact with affiliates; to enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to incur liens or pay dividends; or to make certain accounting changes.  In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a net leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of debt (less certain cash) to EBITDA that is less than (i) from the date the Credit Agreement is entered into through December 31, 2015, 3.50:1.00, (ii) from March 31, 2016 through September 30, 2016, 3.25:1.00, and (iii) from and after December 31, 2016, 3.00:1.00).  In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00.  The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.  We were compliant with all covenants as of March 31, 2016.

 

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors, and all obligations under the Credit Agreement, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors.

 

We had standby letters of credit outstanding of approximately $55.1 million as of March 31, 2016.  The standby letters of credit were issued to secure financial obligations related to our workers compensation, general insurance, and auto liability programs.

 

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The fair value measurement standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (referred to as an “exit price”).  Authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures clarifies that a fair value measurement for a liability should reflect the entity’s non-performance risk.  In addition, a fair value hierarchy is established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

Fair Value on Recurring Basis

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, net, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. 

 

Fair Value on Non-Recurring Basis

 

Fair value measurements were applied to our long-term debt.  The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates the fair market value primarily due to the fact that the non-performance risk of servicing our debt obligations, as reflected in our business and credit risk profile, has not materially changed since we assumed our debt obligations under the credit facility on June 30, 2015.  In addition, due to the floating-rate nature of our long-term debt, the market value is not subject to variability solely due to changes in the general level of interest rates as is the case with a fixed-rate debt obligation. 

 

During the periods presented, there were no transfers between fair value hierarchical levels.

8. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation .  We are subject to claims, charges, litigation, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, product recalls, construction defects, insurance coverage, personnel and employment disputes, antitrust, and other matters, including class actions.  We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters and that the likelihood the outcome of these matters would have a material adverse effect on us is remote.  However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters, and we could in the future incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims, or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our results of operations.

 

Other Matters .  We enter into contracts, which include customary indemnifications that are standard for the industries in which we operate.  Such indemnifications include customer claims against builders for issues relating to our products and workmanship.  In conjunction with divestitures and other transactions, we occasionally provide customary indemnifications relating to various items including: the enforceability of trademarks; legal and environmental issues; and asset valuations.  We evaluate the probability that amounts may be incurred and appropriately record an estimated liability when deemed probable.

 

We occasionally use performance bonds to ensure completion of our work on certain larger customer contracts that can span multiple accounting periods.  Performance bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed.  Other types of bonds outstanding are principally license and insurance related.

 

9. INCOME TAXES

 

Our effective tax rates were 38.8 percent and 11.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The lower rate in 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in our valuation allowance resulting from a partial use of our Federal net operating loss carryforward.

 

For 2015 activity through the Separation, we file our tax returns as a member of the Masco consolidated group for U.S. Federal and certain State jurisdictions.  As a result, certain tax attributes, primarily the Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards, were treated as assets of the Masco consolidated group, which they were able to utilize through December 31, 2015.  Masco fully utilized the Federal net operating loss and certain State net operating losses by the end of 2015.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, we released all but $0.8 million of our valuation allowance against U.S. Federal and certain state deferred tax assets, due primarily to a return to sustainable operating profitability.

 

10. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHAR E

 

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents.

 

Diluted net income per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury stock method.

 

For comparative purposes, the   computation of basic and diluted income per common share for prior year periods presented was calculated using the shares distributed at Separation.  On June 30, 2015, we distributed 37.7 million shares of our common stock to Masco shareholders in conjunction with the Separation.

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Prior to the Separation, our employees participated in the Masco share-based compensation program and received restricted share awards and stock options. Effective July 1, 2015, our employees participate in the 2015 TopBuild Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”).  The 2015 Plan authorizes the Board of Directors to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards, and dividend equivalents.  No more than 4.0 million shares of common stock may be issued under the 2015 Plan. 

 

Prior to the Separation, share-based compensation expense was allocated to TopBuild based on the awards and options previously granted by Masco to TopBuild employees.  Outstanding, unvested Masco stock options and restricted share awards held by employees of TopBuild as of June 30, 2015, were forfeited upon Separation and replaced with TopBuild long-term incentive awards, issued under the 2015 Plan, immediately subsequent to the Separation.  The replacement awards are subject to the same terms and conditions in effect prior to the Separation and are of generally equivalent value.

NOTE 12. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

 

On March 1, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which we may purchase up to $50 million of our common stock.  Share repurchases may be executed through various means including, without limitation, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan.  The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to purchase any shares and expires in one year.  In its discretion, the Board of Directors may terminate, modify, or amend the Share Repurchase Program at any time.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased 53,408 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $1.5 million.

 

NOTE 13. CLOSURE COSTS

 

We continuously evaluate our national footprint to ensure we are strategically located throughout the U.S. to serve our customers and position ourselves for continued growth.  As a result of this evaluation, management approved a plan to close 13 locations within our Installation and Distribution segments during the first and second quarters of 2016.  In conjunction with this evaluation, we eliminated certain positions at our corporate headquarters located in Daytona Beach, Florida.  We recognize expenses related to branch closures and position eliminations at the time of announcement or notification.  Such costs may include termination and other severance benefits, lease abandonment costs, and other contract termination costs.  Closure costs are accrued on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of accrued liabilities and reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as selling, general, and administrative expense.  Unpaid amounts noted as of March 31, 2016, are expected to be paid within the next 12 months.

TOPBUILD CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On May 9, 2016, the Company and its lenders executed an amendment to the Credit Agreement (“the Amendment”).  The Amendment provides for the exclusion of up to $50 million of completed share repurchases (on a trailing twelve month basis) from the Credit Agreement’s definition of “Fixed Charges” for the purposes of determining the Company’s compliance with the quarterly Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) financial covenant.  The Amendment provides for an initial exclusion of up to $25 million and allows for the exclusion of an additional $25 million of completed share repurchases from the FCCR calculation provided that the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio is below 2.0X at the time of such share repurchase and after giving pro forma effect to any such share repurchase.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

OVERVIEW

 

TopBuild Corp., headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, is the leading installer and distributor of insulation products to the United States construction industry, based on revenue.  Prior to June 30, 2015, we operated as a subsidiary of Masco Corporation.  We were incorporated in Delaware in February 2015 as Masco SpinCo Corp. and we changed our name to TopBuild Corp. on March 20, 2015.  On June 30, 2015, the separation from Masco (the “Separation”) was completed and on July 1, 2015, we began trading on the NYSE under the symbol “BLD.”

 

We operate in two segments:  Installation (TruTeam) and Distribution (Service Partners).  Through our Installation segment, we provide insulation installation services nationwide through our TruTeam contractor services business which has over 175 branches located in 40 states.  We install various insulation applications, including fiberglass batts and rolls, blown-in loose fill fiberglass, blown-in loose fill cellulose, and polyurethane spray foam.  Additionally, we install other building products, including rain gutters, garage doors, fireplaces, shower enclosures, and closet shelving.  We handle every stage of the installation process, including material procurement supplied by leading manufacturers, project scheduling and logistics, multi-phase professional installation, and installation quality assurance. 

 

Through our Distribution segment, we distribute insulation and other building products, including rain gutters, fireplaces, closet shelving, and roofing materials through our Service Partners business, which has over 70 branches in 33 states.  Our Service Partners customer base consists of thousands of insulation contractors of all sizes, gutter contractors, weatherization contractors, other contractors, dealers, metal building erectors, and modular home builders.

 

For additional details pertaining to our operating results by segment see Note 7 – Segment Information – in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Table of Contents

 

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.  However, we believe that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods.  Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our financial results reported in accordance with GAAP.

 

Sales and Operations

 

Net sales increased 15.5 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from the comparable period of 2015.  The increase was principally driven by sales volume growth in both the Installation and Distribution segments.  Our sales benefited from mild winter weather conditions which contributed to increased volume in residential new construction and commercial construction activity, one additional business day compared to the same period in the prior year, increased insulation sales volume driven by changing building code requirements, as well as increased selling prices.

 

Our gross profit margin was 21.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with 20.6 percent for the comparable period of 2015.  Gross profit margins were positively impacted by favorable leverage on higher sales volume, partially offset by higher insurance claims.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, was 16.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with 20.9 percent for the comparable period of 2015.  Reduced selling, general, and administrative expense as a percent of sales was a result of lower corporate expenses, increased sales volume, and benefits associated with cost savings initiatives, partially offset by higher share-based compensation expense, losses on fixed asset disposals, and higher rationalization charges related to closure costs and the costs associated with position eliminations, as noted below.  Selling, general, and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015, included allocations of Masco general corporate expenses of $7.9 million. 

 

Operating margins for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were 4.8 percent and (0.3) percent, respectively.  Operating margins before general corporate expenses were 5.9 percent and 1.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Operating margins were positively impacted by increased sales volume, lower corporate expenses, and benefits associated with cost savings initiatives, partially offset by higher insurance claims, share-based compensation expense, and losses on fixed asset disposals.

 

Closure and Related Costs

 

We incurred expense of $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, related to management’s approval to close 13 locations within our Installation and Distribution segments and elimination of certain positions at our corporate headquarters.  We anticipate recovering these costs within the next 12 months.

Installation

 

Sales

 

Sales in the Installation segment increased $39.5 million, or 16.9 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015.  Mild winter weather conditions contributed to increased sales volume, which increased sales by 14.4 percent, related to a higher level of activity in new home construction and an increased sales volume of commercial installation, as well as one additional business day compared to the same period in the prior year.  Sales also increased 3.0 percent due to increased selling prices.

 

Operating results

 

Operating margins in the Installation segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were 4.9 percent and (0.4) percent, respectively.  Operating margins were positively impacted by increased sales volume, higher selling prices, and related absorption of fixed costs, the benefits associated from cost savings initiatives, and lower corporate expenses which were allocated to the segments based on direct benefit or usage, partially offset by higher insurance claims, current rationalization charges related to the closure costs noted above, and losses on fixed asset disposals.

 

Distribution

 

Sales

 

Sales in the Distribution segment increased $16.3 million, or 11.3 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015.  Mild winter weather conditions contributed to increased sales volume, which increased sales by 13.1 percent, as well as one additional business day compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a 1.9 percent decrease in sales as a result of lower selling prices.

Table of Contents

Operating results

 

Operating margins in the Distribution segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were 8.9 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively.  Operating margins were positively impacted by increased volume and related absorption of fixed costs, as well as benefits associated with cost savings initiatives, partially offset by a decrease in selling prices.

 

OTHER ITEMS

 

Other expense, net

 

Interest expense was $1.7 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Prior to the Separation, interest expense was allocated by Masco and as such, this expense is not indicative of our future interest expense.  Utilizing our current interest rate of 2.44 percent as of March 31, 2016, our expected interest expense, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, is estimated to be $3.7 million for the remaining nine months of 2016.

 

Income tax (expense) benefit from continuing operations

 

Income tax (expense) benefit from continuing operations was $(7.1) million or 38.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with $0.5 million or 11.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The lower 2015 rate was primarily due to the decrease in valuation allowance resulting from the partial use of the Federal net operating loss carryforward.

%

%

 

As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, our working capital was 7.6 percent and 8.1 percent of net sales, respectively.  One of our objectives in managing working capital is to reduce working capital as a percentage of net sales.  Working capital was relatively flat, only increasing $3.6 million to $127.7 million at March 31, 2016, compared to March 31, 2015.  As such, the decrease in working capital as a percentage of net sales for the trailing 12 months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was primarily due to an increase of $135.2 million in trailing twelve-months sales.

 

The change in net cash from operating activities when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2016, to the comparable period in 2015 was primarily due to improved net income and a decrease in inventory (both of which related to an increase in sales), and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by an increase in customer receivables resulting from higher sales.

Table of Contents

Net cash used for investing activities was $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily comprised of $2.9 million in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from sale of property and equipment.  Net cash used for investing activities was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily comprised of $2.3 million in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $0.4 million of proceeds from sale of property and equipment.

 

Net cash used for financing activities was $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily comprised of $2.5 million of repayments of our long-term debt, $1.5 million of repurchases of our common stock related to our $50 million share repurchase program announced in March 2016, and $1.3 million of purchases of common stock for tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of restricted share awards during the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Net cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015, was comprised of $21.1 million in transfers from our Former Parent.

 

Prior to the Separation, we largely funded our growth through cash provided by our operations, combined with support from Masco, through its operating cash flows, its long-term debt, and its issuance of securities in the financial markets.

 

In June 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with a bank group.  The Credit Agreement consists of a senior secured term loan facility of $200 million, which was used to finance a $200 million cash distribution to Masco in connection with the Separation, and a senior secured revolving facility which provides for borrowing and/or standby letter of credit issuances of up to $125 million.  Additional borrowing capacity under the credit facility may be accessed by the Company without the consent of the lenders in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million, subject to certain conditions.

 

Following the Separation, we have access to liquidity through our cash from operations and available borrowing capacity under our credit facility.  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 debt service requirements, capital expenditures, and working capital for at least the next 12 months.  Cash flows are seasonally stronger in the third and fourth quarters as a result of increased new construction activity.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales, costs, and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Our critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on March 3, 2016.

 

APPLICATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Information regarding application of new accounting standards is incorporated by reference from Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements contained in this report that reflect our views about our future performance constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “will,” “would,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” or “intend,” the negative of these terms, and similar references to future periods. These views involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in our forward-looking statements.  We caution you against unduly relying on any of these forward-looking statements.  Our future performance may be affected by our reliance on residential new construction, residential repair/remodel, and commercial construction; our reliance on third-party suppliers and manufacturers; our ability to attract, develop and retain talented personnel and our sales and labor force; our ability to maintain consistent practices across our locations; our ability to maintain our competitive position; and our ability to realize the expected benefits of the Separation.  We discuss many of the risks we face under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC.  Our forward-looking statements in this filing speak only as of the date of this filing.  Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.  Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Prior to the Separation, we participated in Masco’s centralized cash management program and were funded through an intercompany loan arrangement whereby Masco provided daily liquidity, as needed, to fund our operations.  As a result of this intercompany funding arrangement, prior to the Separation, we had no external indebtedness that exposed us to interest rate risk.  Our historical financial statements include standby letter of credit costs, as Masco allocated these costs to TopBuild in related party interest expense allocations.

 

On June 9, 2015, we entered into the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement consists of a senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $200 million and a senior secured revolving facility in the amount of $125 million.

 

Interest payable on both the term loan facility and revolving facility is based on a variable interest rate.  As a result, we are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness. Based on the current interest rate of 2.44 percent under the senior secured term loan facility, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would result in a $1.9 million increase in our annualized interest expense.  There was no outstanding balance under the revolving facility as of March 31, 2016.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we did not make any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  We continue to review and document our internal controls over financial reporting and may, from time to time, make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness.

(a)

On March 1, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, which we publicly announced on March 3, 2016 (the “Share Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which we may purchase up to $50 million of our common stock.  The Share Repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any shares and expires in one year.  The Share Repurchase Program may be terminated, increased, or decreased by our Board of Directors at its discretion at any time.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased 53,408 shares of our common stock for approximately $1.5 million under the $50 million Share Repurchase Program.  All repurchases were made using cash resources.  Our common stock repurchases occurred on the open market pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan.  Excluded from this disclosure are shares repurchased to settle statutory employee tax withholding related to the vesting of stock awards.

Item 5 . OTHER INFORMATION

 

As noted in Part 1.  Financial Information, Item 1: Note 14 – Subsequent Events , on May 9, 2016, the Company and its lenders executed an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”).  The Amendment provides for the exclusion of up to $50 million of completed share repurchases (on a trailing twelve month basis) from the Credit Agreement’s definition of “Fixed Charges” for the purposes of determining the Company’s compliance with the quarterly Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) financial covenant.  The Amendment provides for an initial exclusion of up to $25 million and allows for the exclusion of an additional $25 million of completed share repurchases from the FCCR calculation provided that the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio is below 2.0X at the time of such share repurchase and after giving pro forma effect to any such share repurchase.  The foregoing description of the Amendment is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following shall not increase the number of Shares available for issuance in respect of Awards under the Plan:  (i) Shares delivered in payment of an Option, (ii) Shares that are repurchased by the Company with Option proceeds and (iii) Shares withheld to satisfy withholding taxes on any Award. In addition, Shares covered by an SAR, to the extent that it is exercised and settled in Shares, and regardless of whether or not Shares are actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of the SAR, shall be considered issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan. Subject to the foregoing, Shares may be made available from the authorized but unissued Shares of the Company or from Shares reacquired by the Company.

 

Additionally, in the event that a corporation acquired by (or combined with) the Company or any subsidiary has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan; provided that awards using such

available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or any subsidiary prior to such acquisition or combination.

In any fiscal year of the Company, no Participant who is a non-employee director of the Company may be granted Awards valued at more than $450,000   at the time of grant.

Upon the occurrence of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), change in the capital or shares of capital stock, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or extraordinary transaction or event which affects the Shares, then the Committee shall make such adjustment, if any, in such manner as it deems appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, in (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards both to any individual and to all Participants, (ii) outstanding Awards including without limitation the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject thereto, and (iii) the grant, purchase or exercise price with respect to outstanding Awards and, if deemed appropriate, make provision for cash payments to the holders of outstanding Awards; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.

Performance measures may vary from Performance Award to Performance Award and from Participant to Participant and may be established on a stand-alone basis, in tandem or in the alternative; in addition, performance measures may be applied on a corporate-wide or division/business segment basis, and may be applied to the performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates relative to a market index, a group of other companies or a combination thereof, all as determined by the Committee. To the extent a Performance Award is designed to constitute performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, performance measures shall be established within 90 days of the beginning of the period of service to which the performance measures relate.  For any Performance Award, the maximum amount that may be delivered or earned in settlement of all such Awards granted in any year shall be (x) if and to the extent that such Awards are denominated in Shares, 1,000,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c)) and (y) if and to the extent that such Awards are denominated in cash, $5,000,000. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall not be authorized to increase the amount payable under any Award to which this Section 6(e)(iii) applies upon attainment of such pre-established formula.

TOPBUILD   CORP.

NON-EMPLOYEE   DIRECTORS   EQUITY   PROGRAM UNDER   THE 2015   LONG

TERM   STOCK   INCENTIVE   PLAN

Amended and Restated Effective May 2, 2016

 

For purposes of the TopBuild Corp. (the “Company”) Non-Employee Directors Equity Program (the “Program”), an “Eligible Director” is any director of the Company who is not an employee of the Company and who receives a fee for services as a director.  Terms not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Company’s 2015 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).

 

Section   1. Restricted   Stock   Award

 

(a)   (i)   Eligibility for Award.  Effective on July 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) and thereafter on the date of each of the Company’s annual stockholders’ meetings (the “Annual Meeting”), each person who is or becomes an Eligible Director on the Effective Date or at such Annual Meetings shall be granted an Award of Restricted Stock.

 

(ii)   Amount   of   Award .     The amount of the Award of Restricted Stock shall be equal to one-half of the annual retainer then paid to non-employee directors as compensation for their service as a director, rounded to the nearest ten Shares and disregarding any retainer provided as compensation for service on a Board committee, or as Chair of a Board committee or the Board (if awarded at the Effective Date, the “Initial Award” and if awarded at an Annual Meeting, the “Annual Retainer”). If an Eligible Director begins serving as a director other than as of the Effective Date or as of the date of an Annual Meeting, Awards of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be granted on the date of the meeting of the Governance Committee that takes place on or after such Eligible Director is first elected or appointed to the Board, and such Awards shall be pro-rated to reflect the partial service to be provided by such Eligible Director in the period between Annual Meetings.

 

(iii)   Adjustment   to   Amount   or   Terms   of   Award .     The Board shall have sole discretion to adjust the amount of the Initial Award or the Annual Retainer to be paid in the form of Shares and the terms of any such Award of Shares.  Except as the Board may otherwise determine, any increase or decrease in an Eligible Director’s Initial Award or the Annual Retainer during a period with respect to which such Eligible Director has already been granted an Award of Restricted Stock shall be implemented by increasing or decreasing the cash portion of such Eligible Director’s Annual Retainer; provided that any such increase or decrease shall comply with Section 409A of the Code and regulations thereunder to the extent an Award constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

 

(b)   Each Award of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall vest on such schedule as determined by the Board at the time the Award is granted.  The applicable Award Agreement shall set forth vesting conditions as well as such other terms and conditions applicable to the Award as shall be determined by the Board in its discretion, including

-   16  -


 

provisions applicable upon the termination of the Eligible Director’s term of service as a director.

 

(c)   The price of the Shares used in determining the number of Shares subject to an Award of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the Company’s pricing policy or, if a pricing policy has not been adopted by the Company, shall be the fair market value of the Shares as determined by the Board on the effective grant date of such Award.

 

(d)   Each Eligible Director shall be entitled to vote and receive dividends on the Shares subject to the Award of Restricted Stock, but will not be able to obtain a stock certificate or sell, encumber or otherwise transfer such Shares of Restricted Stock except in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 

Section   2.   Non-Compete   Provision

 

Each Award of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall contain a provision whereby the Award holder shall agree, in consideration for the Award and regardless of whether restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock have lapsed, as follows:

 

(a)   While the holder is a director of the Company and for a period of one year following the later of the last date of vesting of any Shares or the termination of such holder’s term as a director of the Company, other than a termination following a Change in Control, the Award holder shall agree not to engage in, and not to become associated in a “Prohibited Capacity” (as hereinafter defined) with any other entity engaged in, any ‘‘Business Activities” (as hereinafter defined) and not to encourage or assist others in encouraging any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate employment or to become engaged in any such Prohibited Capacity with an entity engaged in any Business Activities. “Business Activities” shall mean the design, development, manufacture, sale, marketing or servicing of any product, or providing of services competitive with the products or services, of the Company or any subsidiary at any time while the Award is outstanding, to the extent that such competitive products or services are distributed or provided either (1) in the same geographic area as are such products or services of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (2) to any of the same customers as such products or services of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are distributed or provided.  “Prohibited Capacity” shall mean being associated with an entity as a director, employee, consultant, investor or in another capacity where (1) confidential business information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries could be used in fulfilling any of the holder’s duties or responsibilities with such other entity, or (2) an investment by the Award holder in such other entity represents more than 1% of such other entity’s capital stock, partnership or other ownership interests.

 

(b)   Should the Award holder breach any of the restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph, by accepting an Award, the Award holder shall agree, independent of any equitable or legal remedies that the Company may have and without limiting the Company’s  right to any other equitable or legal remedies, to pay to the Company in cash immediately upon the demand of the Company (1) the amount of income realized for income tax purposes from the Award, net of all federal, state and other taxes payable on the amount of such income, but only to the extent that such income is realized from restrictions lapsing on Shares

-   17  -


 

or exercises occurring, as the case may be, on or after the termination of the Award holder’s term as a director of the Company or within the two-year period prior to the date of such termination, plus (2) all costs and expenses of the Company in any effort to enforce its rights under this or the preceding paragraph.  The Company shall have the right to set off or withhold any amount owed to the Award holder by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for any amount owed to the Company by the Award holder hereunder.

 

Section   3.   Termination, Modification   or   Suspension

 

The   Board   may   terminate, modify   or   suspend   the   Program   at any   time   as   it   may   deem advisable.
