Capital Allocation
Acquisitions
On October 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Garland Insulating, one of the largest locally owned and operated insulation installation companies in Texas. Garland generated approximately $60 million in revenue for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020.

“Acquisitions continue to be our number one capital allocation priority. Garland Insulating, which has a great reputation, strong customer base and outstanding leadership, is a good example of the type of quality companies we have in our pipeline,” noted Volas.

Year-to-date, the Company has announced three acquisitions, which combined, are expected to generate approximately $79 million in annual revenue.

Share repurchases
In the third quarter of 2020, the Company repurchased 57,810 shares at an average price of $155.63 per share. These shares were purchased as part of the Company’s $200 million share repurchase authorization announced on February 26, 2019.

We define same branch sales as sales from branches in operation for at least 12 full calendar months.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results under GAAP.
