Capital Allocation
Acquisitions
In 2018, the Company completed three acquisitions that are expected to generate approximately $410 million of net annual revenue.

Volas stated, “Strategic acquisitions remain our number one choice for capital allocation. Since implementing our acquisition program in 2016, we have acquired ten companies that are expected to generate over $500 million in annual revenue.  Our success in integrating acquisitions onto our operating platform has become a core competency, enabling us to take advantage of available synergies and generate strong returns for our shareholders.”

The companies acquired were:

  • USI, the third largest provider of insulation installation and distribution services to the residential and commercial construction markets.
     
  • ADO Products, a distributor of insulation accessories.
     
  • Santa Rosa Insulation and Fireproofing, a residential and commercial insulation company.

Share Repurchases
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program whereby the Company may purchase up to $200 million of its common stock.  Repurchases will be made from cash on hand as well as from a portion of the free cash flow expected to be generated from the business.  

Volas stated, "We anticipate continuing to generate cash beyond what is required to fund our internal growth and finance acquisitions, our highest capital allocation priorities.  This $200 million share repurchase program further enhances our on-going commitment to maximizing shareholder value.” 

In 2018 the Company repurchased a total of 1,049,871 shares of its common stock for approximately $65 million.  This includes the receipt of 796,925 shares related to its previously announced $50 million accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) program.  The ASR is expected to settle no later than the end of the first quarter of 2019. 

2019 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Outlook
“We believe the fundamentals driving supply and demand in the residential housing market are healthy.  In 2019, we will continue to focus on generating profitable growth, achieving additional operational efficiencies and identifying acquisitions that meet our investment criteria.  Our business model, including national scale and diversity through both residential and commercial installation and distribution, offers multiple avenues for growth,” added Volas.
