Delivered via email
Dear Valeri,
On behalf of QXO, Inc. (the “Company”), I am happy to offer you the position of Chief Technology Officer. I know I speak for the rest of our team when I say how pleased we are to make you this offer.
In this role, you will report directly to Brad Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer, and you will be based out of Bellevue, Washington or its vicinity once office space becomes available, with regular travel expected to the Greenwich, Connecticut office and across locations and geographies in which the Company transacts or pursues business. The start of your employment with the Company (the “Start Date”) is expected to be April 21, 2025.
Your salary and compensation
We’d like to offer you the following compensation package:
•Base Salary: Your initial annual base salary will be $650,000, less all applicable withholdings and deductions, and pro-rated for any partial period worked.
•Annual Incentive: You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual incentive program. Your initial target annual incentive opportunity is 100% of your base salary.
Your actual incentive payment, if any, for each fiscal year will be determined based on the level of achievement of applicable performance goals established by the Compensation and Talent Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”). Annual incentive awards will be determined in the discretion of the Committee and will be reflective of your individual performance and contributions, Company and/or business unit performance, as applicable, and the scope and expectations of your position/role in the Company and/or your business unit. As an at-will employee, annual incentives are subject to change at the sole discretion of the Company. Your annual incentive for fiscal year 2025 will be prorated based on your Start Date.
•Long-Term Incentive:
Time-Based Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)
You will be eligible for a long-term incentive award in the form of RSUs relating to shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing $3,250,000 by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (the “RSU Award”), subject to approval by the Committee. The RSU Award is expected to be granted on your
Start Date, based on the Company’s closing stock price on such date. Subject to the approval of the Committee, the RSU Award will vest on December 31st over five years, commencing December 31, 2026, with the first vesting covering 15% of the RSUs, each of the second and third vestings covering 17.5% of the RSUs, the fourth vesting covering 25% of the RSUs, and the fifth vesting covering 25% of the RSUs. The RSU Award will be subject to the terms and conditions of the QXO, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and the applicable award agreement thereunder. Additionally, all shares received on settlement of the RSUs (net of applicable tax withholding) are expected to be subject to a lock-up on sales, offers, pledges, as well as any other transfers or dispositions, whether directly or indirectly, through December 31, 2030.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”)
You will also be eligible for a long-term incentive award in the form of PRSUs relating to a target number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing
$3,250,000 by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (the “PRSU Award”), subject to approval by the Committee. The PRSU Award is expected to be granted on your Start Date based on the closing stock price on such date.
The PRSU Award will be earned based on QXO’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance compared to the S&P 500 Index over the applicable performance period(s). The percentage of target PRSUs earned will vary based on QXO’s percentile ranking relative to the S&P 500, as outlined below:
| | | | | |
QXO TSR Percentile Rank vs. S&P 500 | % of Target PSUs Earned * |
Below 55th Percentile | 0% |
55th Percentile | 100% |
65th Percentile | 150% |
75th Percentile | 175% |
85th Percentile | 200% |
90th Percentile | 225% |
*Linear interpolation applies between levels above the 55th percentile; No PSUs will be earned for below 55th percentile performance.
Subject to approval by the Committee, the award will vest in tranches based on the achievement of the performance goals outlined above, as determined and certified by the Committee:
25% based on TSR performance from grant date (based on the Company’s closing stock price on such date) through December 31, 2026
12.5% based on TSR performance during calendar year 2027
12.5% based on TSR performance during calendar year 2028
50% based on cumulative TSR performance across the entire performance period from grant date (based on the Company’s closing stock price on such date) through December 31, 2028
All vesting is subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the QXO, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and the applicable award agreement.
Additionally, all shares received on settlement of the PRSUs (net of applicable tax withholding) are expected to be subject to a lock-up on sales, offers, pledges, as well as any other transfers or dispositions, whether directly or indirectly, through December 31, 2029.
•Cash Sign-On Incentive: You will also receive a cash sign-on incentive, paid in a lump sum no later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date following your Start Date. This amount will be calculated as a prorated portion of your $650,000 annualized bonus target, based on the number of calendar days in 2025 that occur prior to your Start Date, divided by 365. For example, if your Start Date is April 21, 2025, the sign-on incentive would equal $195,890. If you leave the Company for any reason other than involuntary termination without cause before the second anniversary of your Start Date, you will be required to repay 100% of the cash sign-on incentive.

We reserve the right to use any remedies available to us in law or in equity to enforce our rights under this Agreement, generally, and your Non-Interference Covenant, Non-Compete Covenant, Non-Solicit Covenant and other covenants to us set forth in this Agreement, specifically. You also agree that if you breach your Non-Compete Covenant to us, you will repay us all of the Non-Compete Payments we have made to you.

(j)Conditions to Severance. Any monies we pay you under this Agreement, will be subject to (i) your execution of a general release of claims and settlement agreement in the form delivered to you by the Company or its applicable Affiliate (provided that any general release of claims and settlement agreement shall not contain any new or additional restrictive covenant requirements if the Termination Date occurs on or within two years following a Change of Control) on or within ten (10) days after the Termination Date and such agreement becoming effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms no later than the seventieth (70th) day following the Termination Date (collectively, the “Release Requirement”) and (ii) you incurring a “Separation from Service” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (a “Separation from Service”) from the Company. Payment of the Non-Compete Payments, if due, will commence not later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date following satisfaction of the Release Requirement, with any installments that would have been made during the period from the Termination Date to the date of satisfaction of the Release Requirement based on regularly scheduled payroll dates accumulated and paid on the date that such installments commence. In the event that the Company determines it cannot make a payment to you during the six (6)-month period following your Separation from Service because you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and making a payment to you during such six (6)-month period would result in the application of tax penalties under Code Section 409A, the Company will pay you a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been paid to you during such period (without interest) on the first business day following the end of the six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid without resulting in the application of tax penalties under Code Section 409A). For purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement will be treated as a separate payment.

In addition, nothing herein shall be construed to waive or limit your right to receive an award for information provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
9.Cooperating After Employment Ends. While employed by us and thereafter, you agree to fully cooperate with us in connection with any investigation, suit, action or proceeding in which you may have relevant information or testimony, including but not limited to providing testimony at depositions or trial, which cooperation and appearance you fully agree to without the necessity of a subpoena or court order.

You agree that if, subsequent to the Termination Date, we determine that we could have terminated your employment for Cause, or we discover a breach of any provision herein, your employment shall, at our election, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause retroactive to the Termination Date.
15.Employment At-Will. You are employed at-will. Nothing in this Agreement changes your at-will employment status or confers any right with respect to continuation of employment, and nothing in this Agreement interferes in any way with the Parties’ right to terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause or advance notice.

(a)Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with its express terms, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

Any claims you wish to make arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach thereof, your employment with us, or the termination of that employment will be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in the State of Delaware, or at another location as mutually agreed upon by the parties, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Employment Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This provision does not apply to claims that, under law, may not be subject to a pre-dispute arbitration agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under the Rules of the AAA or the general grant of authority to the arbitrator contained herein, the arbitrator shall have no jurisdiction or authority to compel any class or collective claim, to consolidate different arbitration proceedings or to join any other party to any arbitration between you and the Company. The arbitrator shall, for all such claims you wish to file, have the exclusive authority to determine the applicability, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement, but shall have no jurisdiction or authority to compel any class or collective claim or to join any other party to an arbitration between us.
(c)Consent to Jurisdiction. You hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware, including without limitation to decide any and all claims brought by the Company alleging a violation or enforceability of Sections 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 or 8 hereof, as well as any claims relating to misappropriation of trade secrets. In that regard, you waive any objection you now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in the State of Delaware, including any claims relating to the alleged inconvenience of such forum, and agree that you will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request to any such court. You also agree that, notwithstanding Section 16(b) above, if you bring an action in court against the Company or its agents, officers or directors, including in aid of any arbitration proceeding or to challenge arbitrability, you will do so exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, provided that nothing herein shall waive the Company’s right to demand that you comply with Section 16(b). You also agree that the Company has the right to bring a legal action against you in a state or federal court where you live or that has jurisdiction over you. You further agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a final and non-appealable judgment in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any court described in this Section 16(c) shall be conclusive and binding upon you and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction.
(d)Waiver of Class and Collective Actions. The parties to this Agreement waive the right to participate in any class or collective action against the other party. The parties understand and agree that they will not consolidate their claims with the claims of any other individual or entity, will not seek class or collective action treatment for any claim that they may have and will not participate in any class or collective action against each other or anyone affiliated with a party.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited; in millions, except per share amounts or otherwise indicated)
1. Company Overview
Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (“Beacon”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on July 16, 1997 and has been the leading specialty wholesale distributor of roofing and complementary building products, including waterproofing products, in North America.
Beacon has served customers in all 50 states throughout the United States (the “U.S.”) and seven provinces in Canada. Beacon’s material subsidiaries are Beacon Sales Acquisition, Inc. and Beacon Roofing Supply Canada Company.
On March 20, 2025, Beacon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with QXO, Inc. (“QXO”) and Queen MergerCo, Inc. (“Merger Sub” or the “Acquirer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of QXO, pursuant to which QXO agreed to acquire Beacon for a purchase price of 124.35 per share of Beacon’s common stock (the “Beacon Acquisition”). On April 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), QXO completed its acquisition of Beacon pursuant to the Merger Agreement in a transaction that valued Beacon at $10.6 billion. On the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into Beacon (the “Merger”), with Beacon remaining as the surviving entity and being renamed QXO Building Products, Inc. (“QXO Building Products”). In connection with the Beacon Acquisition, all of Beacon’s outstanding common stock was cancelled.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $37.7 million of one-time costs incurred in connection with the Beacon Acquisition which are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements are being included separately in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because QXO has determined that Beacon is the predecessor for financial reporting purposes. This determination was made as the legacy Beacon business now comprises substantially all of QXO and has significantly larger operations compared to QXO prior to the Beacon Acquisition. The Company also determined that the Beacon Acquisition represented a fundamental change in QXO’s operations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly the following:
•Beacon’s financial position as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024;
•Beacon’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024; and
•Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 205 and 2024.
The Company prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information have been condensed or omitted. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
References to “the Company” in these financial statements refer to Beacon.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of a business that can earn revenue and incur expenses for which discrete financial information is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in order to decide how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews consolidated results of operations to make decisions, therefore the Company views its operations and manages its business as a single operating segment.

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” This standard affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a registrant's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. This standard should be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The standard requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain financial statement expense line items presented on the consolidated statements of operations in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The standard can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common share equivalents. Common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common share equivalents, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following table presents the components and calculations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share attributable to common stockholders (in millions, except per share amounts; certain amounts may not recalculate due to rounding):

6. Stock-based Compensation
On April 1, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc., 2024 Stock Plan (the “2024 Plan”), subject to stockholder approval, which was subsequently obtained on May 15, 2024 in conjunction with the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Upon approval, the 2024 Plan succeeded the Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Plan (the “Prior Plan”) and is the only plan of the Company pursuant to which stock-based awards are currently granted. The 2024 Plan provides for discretionary grants of stock options, stock awards, stock unit awards, and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) for up to 6,200,000 shares of common stock to key employees and non-employee directors. Stock options and SARs granted under the 2024 Plan, or granted under the Prior Plan after March 6, 2024, will reduce the number of available shares by one share for every share subject to the stock option or SAR, and stock awards and stock unit awards granted under the 2024 Plan, or granted under the Prior Plan after March 6, 2024, will reduce the number of available shares by 2.25 shares for every one share delivered. If (i) there is a lapse, forfeiture, expiration, termination, or cancellation of any award for any reason under the 2024 Plan, or under the Prior Plan after March 6, 2024, or (ii) shares subject to a stock award or a stock unit award under the 2024 Plan, or under the Prior Plan after March 6, 2024, are delivered or withheld as payment of any withholding taxes, then in each case such shares will again be available for issuance under the 2024 Plan, to be added back in the same multiple as described in the preceding sentence. Any shares delivered or withheld as payment for the exercise price of a stock option or of any withholding taxes with respect to such stock options or SARs will not be available for issuance pursuant to subsequent awards. As of March 31, 2025, there were 5,980,115 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to the 2024 Plan.
All unvested employee equity awards contain a “double trigger” change in control mechanism to the extent such employee equity award is continued or assumed after a change in control. If an award is not continued or assumed by a public company in an equitable manner, it will vest immediately prior to a change in control (at 100% payout with respect to a performance-based restricted stock unit award and at 100% of the award then earned but not vested with respect to a restricted stock unit award with market conditions). If an award is so continued or assumed, vesting will continue in accordance with the terms of the award (based on actual performance with respect to a performance-based restricted stock unit award subject to completed annual performance periods and at 100% payout for any in-progress annual performance periods) unless there is a qualifying termination (without cause or for good reason) within one-year following the change in control, in which event the award shall become vested immediately.
On March 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with QXO and Merger Sub. Under the Merger Agreement, the outstanding Company equity awards held by the Company’s employees will be converted into corresponding QXO equity awards (and, with respect to each performance-based restricted stock unit award, with the performance-based vesting condition deemed satisfied at target and being converted into an award of QXO restricted stock units for which vesting is solely based on service-based conditions), in each case, based on the Equity Award Conversion Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Such QXO equity awards will remain subject to the same vesting terms as the original Company equity awards (excluding performance conditions), including accelerated vesting upon certain qualifying terminations of employment without cause or good reason. Such accelerated vesting is “double-trigger” (i.e., it is contingent upon a termination of employment without cause or resignation for good reason within one year after the Merger (as defined in Note 1) is consummated.)
Stock Options
Non-qualified stock options generally expire 10 years after the grant date and, except under certain conditions, the options are subject to continued employment and vest in three annual installments over the three-year period following the grant date.
There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The fair values of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were estimated on the dates of grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| | | | | | | |
| | | Three Months Ended March 31, |

| Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.12 | % |
| Expected volatility | | | 48.05 | % |

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2025, there was $3.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

Restricted Stock Units
Time-based RSU awards granted to employees are subject to continued employment and generally vest ratably over a three-year period or cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The Company also grants certain RSU awards to management that additionally may contain market or performance conditions. Market conditions, which are based on stock price, are incorporated into the grant date fair value of the management awards with market conditions using a Monte Carlo valuation model. Compensation expense for management awards with market conditions is recognized over the service period and is not reversed if the market condition is not met. For awards with performance conditions, the actual number of awards that will vest can range from 0% to 200% of the original grant amount, depending upon actual Company performance below or above the established performance metric targets. At each reporting date, the Company estimates performance in relation to the defined targets when determining the projected number of management awards with performance conditions that are expected to vest and calculating the related stock-based compensation expense. Management awards with performance conditions are amortized over the service period if, and to the extent that, it is determined that achievement of the performance condition is probable. If awards with market, performance and/or service conditions are forfeited due to failure to achieve performance conditions or failure to satisfy service conditions, any previously recognized expense for such awards is reversed.
RSUs granted to non-employee directors are subject to continued service and vest on the first anniversary of the grant date (except under certain conditions). Generally, the common shares underlying the RSUs are not eligible for distribution until the non-employee director’s service on the Board has terminated, and for non-employee director RSU grants made prior to fiscal year 2014, the share distribution date is six months after the director’s termination of service on the Board. Any non-employee directors who have Beacon equity holdings (defined as common stock and outstanding vested equity awards) with a total fair value that is greater than or equal to five times the annual Board cash retainer may elect to have any future RSU grants settle simultaneously with vesting.
The following table summarizes all RSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (in millions, except grant date fair value amounts):

1.As of March 31, 2025, outstanding awards with performance conditions were expected to vest at or below 100% of their original grant amount.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $7.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $4.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2025, there was $54.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs (including unrecognized expense for RSUs with performance conditions at their estimated value as of March 31, 2025), which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

| Total intrinsic value of RSUs released | $ | 39.4 | | | $ | 15.1 | |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On March 20, 2023, the Board adopted the Company’s 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), subject to stockholder approval, which was subsequently obtained on May 17, 2023 in conjunction with the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The ESPP allows eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions over six-month offering periods. The purchase price per share is equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the offering date, defined as the first trading day of the offering period, or (2) the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date, defined as the last trading day of the offering period; provided that the purchase price is not less than the $0.01 par value per share of the common stock. Participant purchases are limited to a maximum of $12,500 worth of stock per offering period (or $25,000 per calendar year). The Company is authorized to grant up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock under the ESPP.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, no shares were purchased under the ESPP. As of March 31, 2025, there were 818,164 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to the Company’s ESPP. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP of $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
In connection with the Beacon Acquisition (as defined in Note 1), the Company, after having received a formal request from QXO and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, caused the ESPP to be terminated effective as of April 23, 2025. As a result, the final purchase of Company common stock under the ESPP occurred on the date of termination.
7. Share Repurchase Program
On February 24, 2022, the Company announced a new share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $500.0 million of its common stock. On February 23, 2023, the Company announced that its Board authorized and approved an increase of the Repurchase Program by approximately $387.9 million, permitting future share repurchases of $500.0 million after considering actual share repurchases as of such re-authorization date.
Share repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through various means, including open market purchases (including block trades), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions or through a series of
forward purchase agreements, option contracts or similar agreements and contracts (including Rule 10b5-1 plans) adopted by the Company, in each case in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including, if applicable, Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The timing, volume, and nature of share repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Program are at the discretion of management and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program are retired immediately and are included in the category of authorized but unissued shares. Direct and incremental costs associated with the Repurchase Program are deferred and included as a component of the purchase price. The excess of the purchase price over the par value of the common shares is reflected in retained earnings.
The Company did not make any share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $164.1 million available for repurchases remaining under the Repurchase Program.

Debt Refinancing
In May 2021, the Company entered into various financing arrangements to refinance certain debt instruments to take advantage of lower market interest rates for the Company’s fixed rate indebtedness and to extend maturities (the “2021 Debt Refinancing”). The transactions included a new $350.0 million issuance of senior notes (the “2029 Senior Notes”). In addition, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement for its $1.30 billion asset-based revolving line of credit (the “2026 ABL”), and an amended and restated term loan credit agreement for a term loan of $1.00 billion (subsequently increased) (the “2028 Term Loan”), which together are defined as the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities.”
On May 19, 2021, the Company used the net proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, to redeem all $1.30 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Company’s 4.875% Senior Notes due 2025 at a redemption price of 102.438%, to refinance all outstanding borrowings under the Company’s previous term loan, and to pay all related accrued interest, fees and expenses.
On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into a financing arrangement to refinance the 2028 Term Loan resulting in an increase in the outstanding principal balance from $975.0 million to $1.275 billion. Refer to the discussion below for additional information regarding the refinancing.
2029 Senior Notes
On May 10, 2021, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors completed a private offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior unsecured notes due 2029 at an issue price equal to par. The 2029 Senior Notes mature on May 15, 2029 and bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, which commenced on November 15, 2021. The 2029 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of the Company’s active United States subsidiaries.
The 2029 Senior Notes and related subsidiary guarantees were offered and sold in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2029 Senior Notes and related subsidiary guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $4.0 million related to the 2029 Senior Notes, which are being amortized over the term of the financing arrangements.
As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance on the 2029 Senior Notes, net of $2.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $348.0 million.
2026 ABL
On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a $1.30 billion senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of other lenders. The 2026 ABL provides for revolving loan commitments in both the United States in an amount up to $1.25 billion (“2026 U.S. Revolver”) and Canada in an amount up to $50.0 million (“2026 Canada Revolver”) (as such amounts may be reallocated pursuant to the terms of the 2026 ABL). The 2026 ABL has a maturity date of May 19, 2026. The unused commitment fees on the 2026 ABL are 0.20% per annum.
The 2026 U.S. Revolver has various borrowing tranches with an interest rate based, at the Company’s option, on a base rate, plus an applicable margin, or a Term SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2026 U.S. Revolver is based on the Company’s quarterly average excess availability as determined by reference to a borrowing base and ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% per annum in the case of base rate borrowings and 1.25% to 1.75% per annum in the case of Term SOFR borrowings.
The 2026 Canada Revolver has various borrowing tranches with an interest rate based, at the Company’s option, on a base rate, plus an applicable margin, or an adjusted CORRA rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2026 Canada Revolver is based on the Company’s quarterly average excess availability as determined by reference to a borrowing base and
ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% per annum in the case of base rate borrowings and 1.25% to 1.75% per annum in the case of CORRA borrowings.
The 2026 ABL contains a springing financial covenant that requires a minimum 1.00:1.00 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (consolidated EBITDA less capital expenditures to fixed charges, each as defined in the 2026 ABL credit agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter (in each case, calculated on a trailing four fiscal quarter basis). The covenant would become operative if the Company failed to maintain a specified minimum amount of availability to borrow under the 2026 ABL, which was not applicable to the Company as of March 31, 2025.
In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the 2029 Senior Notes (as well as the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2026 Senior Notes, each as defined below) are subject to negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); (ii) incur liens; (iii) engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; (iv) dispose of certain property or assets; (v) make certain payments, dividends or other distributions; (vi) make certain acquisitions, investments, loans and advances; (vii) prepay certain indebtedness; (viii) change the nature of their business; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (x) engage in sale-leaseback transactions; and (xi) enter into certain other restrictive agreements. The 2026 ABL is secured by a first priority lien over substantially all of the Company’s and each guarantor’s accounts and other receivables, chattel paper, deposit accounts (excluding any such account containing identifiable proceeds of Term Priority Collateral (as defined below)), inventory, and, to the extent related to the foregoing and other ABL Priority Collateral, general intangibles (excluding equity interests in any subsidiary of the Company and all intellectual property), instruments, investment property (but not equity interests in any subsidiary of the Company), commercial tort claims, letters of credit, supporting obligations and letter of credit rights, together with all books, records and documents related to, and all proceeds and products of, the foregoing, subject to certain customary exceptions (the “ABL Priority Collateral”), and a second priority lien over substantially all of the Company’s and each guarantor’s other assets, including all of the equity interests of any subsidiary held by the Company or any guarantor, subject to certain customary exceptions (the “Term Priority Collateral”). Beacon Sales Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of the Company, is a U.S. Borrower under the 2026 ABL and Beacon Roofing Supply Canada Company, an unlimited liability company organized under the laws of Nova Scotia and subsidiary of the Company, is a Canadian borrower under the 2026 ABL. The 2026 ABL is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Company’s active U.S. subsidiaries.
The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $8.3 million related to the 2026 ABL, which are being amortized over the term of the financing arrangements.
As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance on the 2026 ABL, net of $1.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $316.1 million. The Company also had outstanding standby letters of credit related to the 2026 U.S. Revolver in the amount of $17.8 million as of March 31, 2025.
2028 Term Loan
On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a $1.00 billion senior secured term loan B facility with Citi and a syndicate of other lenders. The 2028 Term Loan, prior to the most recent amendment, required quarterly principal payments in the amount of $2.5 million, with the remaining outstanding principal to be paid on its May 19, 2028 maturity date. The interest rate was based, at the Company’s option, on a base rate, plus an applicable margin, or a Term SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the 2028 Term Loan ranged, depending on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio (consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the 2028 Term Loan credit agreement), from 1.25% to 1.50% per annum in the case of base rate borrowings and 2.25% to 2.50% per annum in the case of Term SOFR borrowings.
On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the 2028 Term Loan (the “2028 Term Loan Amendment No. 3”) with Citi, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The 2028 Term Loan Amendment No. 3, among other things, (i) increases the aggregate outstanding amount of outstanding term loans to $1.275 billion, (ii) changes the interest rate for base rate borrowings to a rate per annum equal to a base rate plus a margin equal to 2.00%, (iii) reduces the interest rate to a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR with a 0.00% floor, plus a margin equal to 2.00%, and (iv) increases the required quarterly principal payments from $2.5 million to $3.2 million starting March 31, 2024 (the “2028 Term Loan Refinancing”). Except as amended by the 2028 Term Loan Amendment No. 3, the remaining terms of the 2028 Term Loan remain in full force and effect.
The Company evaluated the 2028 Term Loan Refinancing on a lender-by-lender basis to determine whether the transaction should be accounted for as either a debt extinguishment or debt modification. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In addition, unamortized historical debt issuance costs of $9.7 million and new debt issuance costs of $0.1 million related to the 2028 Term Loan continue to be amortized over the term of the financing arrangement.
The 2028 Term Loan is secured by a shared first-priority lien on the Term Priority Collateral and a shared second-priority lien on the ABL Priority Collateral. Certain excluded assets will not be included in the Term Priority Collateral and the ABL Priority Collateral. The 2028 Term Loan is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of the Company’s active U.S. subsidiaries.
On March 16, 2023, the Company novated and amended its interest rate swap agreement related to the 2028 Term Loan. For additional information, see Note 17.
As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance on the 2028 Term Loan, net of $7.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $1.25 billion.
2030 Senior Notes
On July 31, 2023, the Company, and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, completed a private offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Senior Notes”) at an issue price equal to par. The 2030 Senior Notes mature on August 1, 2030 and bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum, payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2024. The 2030 Senior Notes and related subsidiary guarantees are secured by a shared first-priority lien on the Term Priority Collateral and a shared second-priority lien on the ABL Priority Collateral. Certain excluded assets will not be included in the Term Priority Collateral and the ABL Priority Collateral. The 2030 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of the Company’s active U.S. subsidiaries.
The 2030 Senior Notes and related subsidiary guarantees were offered and sold in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2030 Senior Notes and related subsidiary guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
On July 31, 2023 the Company used net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand and available borrowings under the 2026 ABL to complete the repurchase of the shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share held by CD&R Boulder Holdings, L.P.
The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $8.1 million related to the 2030 Senior Notes, which are being amortized over the term of the financing arrangement.

On October 9, 2019, the Company, and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, completed a private offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”) at an issue price equal to par. The 2026 Senior Notes mature on November 15, 2026 and bear interest at a rate of 4.50% per annum, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2020. The 2026 Senior Notes and related subsidiary guarantees are secured by a shared first-priority lien on the Term Priority Collateral and a shared second-priority lien on the ABL Priority Collateral. Certain excluded assets will not be included in the Term Priority Collateral and the ABL Priority Collateral. The 2026 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of the Company’s active U.S. subsidiaries.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to various federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations; however, the Company is not aware of any reasonably possible losses that would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. Potential environmental loss contingencies include possible obligations to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the placement, storage, disposal, or release of certain chemical or other substances by the Company or by other parties. Historically, environmental liabilities have not had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
The Company is subject to litigation and governmental investigations from time to time in the ordinary course of business; however, the Company does not expect the results, if any, to have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. The Company accrues a liability for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company also considers whether an insurance recovery receivable is applicable and appropriate based on the specific legal claim. The actual costs of resolving legal claims and governmental investigations may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those activities.
In December 2018, a Company vehicle was involved in a fatal accident. In October 2019, the decedent’s estate and two bystanders sued the driver and the Company in Utah state court. The trial was in August 2022 and the jury found the driver not liable. In April 2023, the trial court granted plaintiffs’ motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, entering judgment against the driver and ordering the trial to proceed on the claims against the Company. The Utah appeals court granted an interlocutory appeal and affirmed the trial court’s decision in December 2024. The case has been remanded to the trial court for a trial on the claims against the Company, which is scheduled for March 2026. At this time there is not a probable loss with respect to this matter and any potential loss in regard to this matter is not reasonably estimable. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any amounts related to this matter within its financial statements as of March 31, 2025.
In addition, the Company has received certain demand letters from stockholders pertaining to disclosures made by the Company in connection with the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “QXO Transactions”), which the Company does not believe are material, individually or in the aggregate.
14. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

16. Fair Value Measurement
As of March 31, 2025, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures its cash equivalents at amortized cost, which approximates fair value based upon quoted market prices (Level 1).
As of March 31, 2025, based upon recent trading prices (Level 2), the fair values of the Company’s $300.0 million 2026 Senior Notes, $350.0 million 2029 Senior Notes, and $600.0 million 2030 Senior Notes were $299.4 million, $352.8 million, and $631.5 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s term loan and revolving lines of credit approximated the amount outstanding. The Company estimates the fair value of its term loan and revolving lines of credit by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using estimated market rates of debt instruments with similar maturities and credit profiles (Level 3).
17. Financial Derivatives
The Company uses interest rate derivative instruments to manage the risk related to fluctuating cash flows from interest rate changes by converting a portion of its variable-rate borrowings into fixed-rate borrowings.
On September 11, 2019, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate risk associated with the variable rate on the Company’s previous term loan. Each swap agreement had a notional amount of $250.0 million. As part of the 2021 Debt Refinancing, the Company refinanced its previous term loan, resulting in the issuance of the 2028 Term Loan; the two interest rate swaps were designed and executed such that they continue to hedge against a total notional amount of $500.0 million related to the refinanced 2028 Term Loan. One agreement (the “5-year swap”) was scheduled to expire on August 30, 2024 and swaps the thirty-day LIBOR with a fixed-rate of 1.49%. The second agreement (the “3-year swap”) expired on August 30, 2022 and swapped the thirty-day LIBOR with a fixed-rate of 1.50%. At the inception of the swap agreements, the Company determined that both swaps qualified for cash flow hedge accounting under ASC 815. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the swaps, net of taxes, were recognized in other comprehensive income each period, then reclassified into the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest expense, financing costs and other, net in the period in which the hedged transaction affected earnings.
On March 16, 2023, the Company novated its 5-year swap agreement to another counterparty and, in connection with such novation, amended the interest rate swap agreement. The amendment changed the index rate from LIBOR to SOFR, increased the total notional amount of the interest rate swap to $500.0 million, and extended the termination date to March 31, 2027 (the “2027 interest rate swap”). Specifically, the fixed rate of 1.49% indexed to LIBOR was modified to 3.00% indexed to SOFR. The Company used a strategy commonly referred to as “blend and extend” which allows the asset position of the novated 5-year swap agreement of approximately $9.9 million to be effectively blended into the new 2027 interest rate swap agreement. As a result of this transaction, on March 16, 2023, the 5-year swap agreement was de-designated and the unrealized gain of $9.9 million included within accumulated other comprehensive income was frozen and was ratably reclassified as a reduction to interest expense, financing costs and other, net over the original term of the 5-year swap as the hedged transactions affect earnings. The unrealized gain of $9.9 million was fully recognized as of August 2024. Additionally, the 2027 interest rate swap had a fair value of $9.9 million at inception and will be ratably recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to interest expense, financing costs and other, net over the term of the 2027 interest rate swap, or through March 31, 2027 as the hedged transactions affect earnings. At the inception of the 2027 interest rate swap, the Company determined that the swap qualified for cash flow hedge accounting under ASC 815. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the swap, net of taxes, will be recognized in other comprehensive income each period, then reclassified into the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest expense, financing costs and other, net in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The 2027 interest rate swap is the only swap agreement outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
The effectiveness of the outstanding 2027 interest rate swap will be assessed qualitatively by the Company during the life of the hedge by (i) comparing the current terms of the hedge with the related hedged debt to assure they continue to coincide and (ii) through an evaluation of the ability of the counterparty to the hedge to honor its obligations under the hedge. The Company performed a qualitative analysis as of March 31, 2025 and concluded that the outstanding 2027 interest rate swap continues to meet the requirements under ASC 815 to qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the 2027 interest rate swap, net of tax, was $5.2 million in favor of the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reclassified losses of $0.5 million out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and to interest expense, financing costs and other, net. Approximately $4.7 million of net gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2025 is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months as interest payments are made on the Company’s Term Loan and amortization of the inception date fair value of the 2027
interest rate swap occurs. The Company records any differences paid or received on its interest rate hedges to interest expense, financing costs and other, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined through the use of a pricing model, which utilizes verifiable inputs such as market interest rates that are observable at commonly quoted intervals (generally referred to as the “forward curve”) for the full terms of the hedge agreements. These values reflect a Level 2 measurement under the applicable fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the combined fair value, net of tax, of the interest rate swap (in millions):

18. Segment Reporting
As further described in Note 2, the Company views its operations and manages its business as a single operating segment, which is the wholesale distribution of building materials. The Company’s revenues for its single operating segment are derived from the sale of residential and non-residential roofing products, as well as complementary products, such as siding and waterproofing.
The accounting policies for the wholesale distribution of building materials operating segment are the same as those described in Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As described in Note 2, the Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates performance for the Company’s single operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on the Company’s consolidated net income that is reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The CODM allocates resources across the Company based on consolidated net income derived during the annual budgeting process and throughout the year in monitoring actual results compared to budget and updated forecasts. These results are used to assess segment performance and determine the compensation of certain employees.
The operating segment financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM, inclusive of assets, revenue, expenses, profit or loss, and noncash items are presented on a consolidated basis in the same amount and using the same captions as those included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated balance sheets, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. There are no additional segment expense categories regularly provided to the CODM. Therefore, there are also no amounts classified as other segment items requiring disclosure.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “2025” refer to the three months ended March 31, 2025 being discussed and references to “2024” refer to the three months ended March 31, 2024 being discussed.
Beacon Acquisition
On March 20, 2025, Beacon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with QXO, Inc. (“QXO”) and Queen MergerCo, Inc. (“Merger Sub” or the “Acquirer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of QXO, pursuant to which QXO agreed to acquire Beacon for a purchase price of 124.35 per share of Beacon’s common stock (the “Beacon Acquisition”). On April 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), QXO completed its acquisition of Beacon pursuant to the Merger Agreement in a transaction that valued Beacon at $10.6 billion. On the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into Beacon (the “Merger”), with Beacon remaining as the surviving entity and being renamed QXO Building Products, Inc. (“QXO Building Products”).

Overview
We are the leading publicly-traded specialty wholesale distributor of roofing and complementary building products, including waterproofing products, in North America. We have served the building industry for over 95 years and as of March 31, 2025, we operated 595 branches throughout all 50 states in the U.S. and seven provinces in Canada. We offer one of the most extensive ranges of high-quality professional grade exterior products comprising over 135,000 SKUs, and we serve approximately 110,000 residential and non-residential customers who trust us to help them save time, improve efficiency, and enhance productivity.
We are strategically focused on two core markets, residential and non-residential roofing. We also distribute complementary building products like siding and waterproofing that are often utilized by the roofing and other specialty contractors we serve. As a distributor, our national scale, networked model, and specialized capabilities are competitive advantages, providing strong value for both customers and suppliers.
Our differentiated service model is designed to solve customer needs. The scale of our business provides branch coverage, technology enablement, and investment in our team that is the foundation of customer service excellence. In addition, service is further enhanced by our Beacon OTC® Network and market-based sales teams. We believe we also provide the most complete digital commerce platform in roofing distribution, creating value for customers who are able to operate their businesses more effectively and efficiently.
Our mission is to empower our customers to build more for their customers, businesses, and communities. Our project lifecycle support helps our customers find projects, land the job, do the work, and close projects out by providing guidance that allows our customers to deliver on project specifications and timelines that are critical to their success. Using an omni-channel approach and our Beacon PRO+® digital suite, we differentiate our services and drive customer retention. Our customer base is composed of professional contractors, home builders, building owners, lumberyards, and retailers across the U.S. and Canada who depend on
reliable local access to exterior building products for residential and non-residential projects. Our customers vary in size, ranging from relatively small contractors to large contractors and builders that operate on a national scale.
As of March 31, 2025, we operated 595 branches, which we designate as either standalone or co-located. A co-located branch shares all or a portion of a physical location with a standalone branch, but it records sales separately (to a different customer base and/or through different product offerings from the standalone branch) and generally operates with independent employees and inventory.
Classification of Branch Results
In managing our business, we consider all growth, including the opening of new branches (also referred to as greenfields), to be organic growth, unless it results from an acquisition. When we refer to organic growth, we include growth from existing branches and greenfields, but exclude growth from acquired branches until they have been reclassified to existing as described further below.
Acquired branches
The results of operations of acquired branches are designated as such until they have been under our ownership and have contributed to our results of operations for at least 12 calendar months (treating partial months as full months), after which such branches are classified as existing. Therefore, the prior year results of operations for branches are reclassified to existing when the comparable current month’s financial results are also classified as existing. Under our branch classification methodology, a branch’s results of operations can be classified as both acquired and existing in the same fiscal reporting period. We believe our branch classification methodology enhances comparability of branch results between periods and demonstrates the economic impact of newly acquired branches on our financial results.
The following table illustrates the classification of financial results for branches acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Date Acquired | | Company Name | | Branches Acquired | | Results of Operations Classified as Acquired | | Results of Operations Classified as Existing |
| February 12, 2024 | | Metro Sealants & Waterproofing Supply, Inc. | | 4 | | January 2025 | | February 2024 - March 2024; February 2025 - March 2025 |
| February 1, 2024 | | Roofers' Supply of Greenville, Inc. | | 3 | | January 2025 | | February 2024 - March 2024; February 2025 - March 2025 |
All branches acquired prior to January 1, 2024 are classified as existing and all branches acquired after March 31, 2024 are classified as acquired.
Greenfields
We also apply the same definition for determining when a branch classification changes from greenfield to existing (i.e., branches are designated as greenfields until they have been opened for at least 12 calendar months (treating partial months as full months), after which such branches are classified as existing). It should also be noted that greenfield branches incur limited operating costs prior to their open date for things such as lease costs and other costs incurred in getting the branch ready to open. All such costs incurred prior to the greenfield open date are also classified as greenfield in all periods when discussing our results of operations.

Net Sales
Net sales decreased 0.2% to $1.908 billion in 2025, down from $1.912 billion in 2024. The following table summarizes net sales by line of business for the periods presented (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | Change |

The following table summarizes net sales by branch classification for the periods presented (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | Change |
| | 2025 | | 2024 | | $ | | % |
| Organic net sales | | | | | | | |
| Existing | $ | 1,807.3 | | | $ | 1,912.4 | | | $ | (105.1) | | | (5.5) | % |
| Greenfields | 23.2 | | | — | | | 23.2 | | | n/m |
| Total organic net sales | 1,830.5 | | | 1,912.4 | | | (81.9) | | | (4.3) | % |
| Acquired | 77.3 | | | — | | | 77.3 | | | n/m |
| Total net sales | $ | 1,907.8 | | | $ | 1,912.4 | | | $ | (4.6) | | | (0.2) | % |
The decrease in organic net sales was primarily driven by a decrease in estimated organic volume of approximately 5-6%, partially offset by an increase in weighted-average selling price of approximately 0-1%. Total selling days decreased from 64 in 2024 to 63 in 2025, which contributed to the decrease in organic net sales. Total net sales for 2025 continued to benefit from greenfields and acquired branches.
We estimate the impact of inflation or deflation on our sales and gross profit by looking at changes in our average selling prices and gross margins (discussed below). To calculate approximate weighted-average selling price and product cost changes, we review organic U.S. warehouse sales of the same items sold regionally period over period and normalize the data for non-representative outliers. To determine estimated volumes, we subtract the change in weighted-average selling price, calculated as described above, from the total changes in net sales, excluding acquisitions and dispositions. As a result, and especially in high inflationary periods, the weighted-average selling price and estimated volume changes may not be directly comparable to changes reported in prior periods.
Gross Profit
The following table summarizes gross profit and gross margin by branch classification for the periods presented (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | Change1 |
| | 2025 | | 2024 | | $ | | % |
| Organic gross profit | | | | | | | |
| Existing | $ | 442.8 | | | $ | 473.2 | | | $ | (30.4) | | | (6.4) | % |
| Greenfields | 5.9 | | | — | | | 5.9 | | | n/m |
| Total organic gross profit | 448.7 | | | 473.2 | | | (24.5) | | | (5.2) | % |

| Total gross profit | $ | 467.8 | | | $ | 473.2 | | | $ | (5.4) | | | (1.1) | % |
| Gross margin | 24.5 | % | | 24.7 | % | | N/A | | (0.2) | % |
1.Percentage changes for dollar amounts represent the ratable increase or decrease from period-to-period. Percentage changes for the gross margin percentages represent the net period-to-period change in basis points.
Gross margin was 24.5% in 2025, down 0.2% from 24.7% in 2024. The modest year-over-year decrease in gross margin resulted from a weighted-average product cost increase of approximately 1-2%, partially offset by a weighted-average selling price increase (calculated as described above) of approximately 0-1%.
Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expense
The following table summarizes SG&A expense by branch classification for the periods presented (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | | Change |
| | 2025 | | 2024 | | $ | | % |
| Organic SG&A | | | | | | | |
Existing1 | $ | 408.8 | | | $ | 380.6 | | | $ | 28.2 | | | 7.4 | % |
Greenfields2 | 8.0 | | | 0.9 | | | 7.1 | | | n/m |
| Total organic SG&A | 416.8 | | | 381.5 | | | 35.3 | | | 9.3 | % |
| Acquired | 19.7 | | | — | | | 19.7 | | | n/m |
| Total SG&A | $ | 436.5 | | | $ | 381.5 | | | $ | 55.0 | | | 14.4 | % |
| Total SG&A as % of net sales | 22.9 | % | | 20.0 | % | | | | |
1.Existing SG&A expense includes all direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with our acquisition activity (“acquisition costs”) regardless of whether the acquired branch was classified as Existing or Acquired as of March 31, 2025 as well as all restructuring costs. Acquisition costs and restructuring costs included in Existing SG&A expense were $39.7 million and $3.5 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively. Excluding the impact of the acquisition costs and restructuring costs, Existing SG&A expense decreased 2.1%, or $8.0 million from 2024 to 2025.
2.Greenfield branches incur limited operating costs prior to their open date for things such as lease costs and other costs incurred in getting the branch ready to open. Amounts reported for 2024 represent operating costs incurred in 2024 for greenfields opened in 2025.
Total SG&A expense increased 14.4%, or $55.0 million, to $436.5 million in 2025, up from $381.5 million in 2024. The increase in total SG&A expense was primarily driven by one-time costs incurred in connection with the QXO Transactions. The increase in total SG&A expense was also driven by acquisitions and greenfields.
The increase in organic SG&A expense was mainly influenced by the following factors:
•a $34.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily due to higher professional fees incurred in connection with the QXO Transactions; and
•a $3.8 million increase in warehouse operating costs, primarily due to higher rent expense across our existing locations coupled with greenfields opened during the year, which contributed $2.7 million to the increase;
partially offset by:
•a $3.4 million decrease in payroll and employee benefit costs, primarily due to a reduction in headcount in response to market conditions at the end of the third quarter of 2024 resulting in a lower average number of employees in 2025.
Total SG&A expense as a percent of net sales was higher in 2025 when compared to 2024 primarily as a result of the above factors. The impact of recent greenfields that have not yet fully matured and acquired branches that are not yet fully synergized also negatively affected our operating leverage.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense was $31.4 million in 2025, compared to $25.5 million in 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to an increase in property and equipment as a result of new and acquired branches.
Amortization Expense
Amortization expense was $23.3 million in 2025, compared to $21.1 million in 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to amortization expense associated with new intangible assets as a result of recent acquisitions.
Interest Expense, Financing Costs and Other
Interest expense, financing costs and other, net was $42.2 million in 2025, compared to $38.6 million in 2024. The comparative increase was primarily due to higher average debt balances in 2025 as a result of the refinancing of our 2028 Term Loan on March 28, 2024 and an increase in our 2026 U.S. Revolver to build inventory and support our acquisition activity subsequent to March 31, 2024.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment
Loss on debt extinguishment was $2.4 million in 2024 due to the refinancing of our 2028 Term Loan and includes the write-off of previously capitalized debt issuance costs as well as certain third-party professional fees. There was not a similar refinancing or other transaction that resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment in 2025.
Income Taxes
Income tax provision (benefit) was $(22.5) million in 2025, compared to $(1.5) million in 2024. The comparative increase in income tax benefit was primarily due to lower pre-tax income coupled with an increase in the excess tax benefits of stock-based compensation during 2025. The effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, was 26.5% in 2025, compared to 26.4% in 2024.
Net Income (Loss)/Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
We calculate basic net income (loss) per common share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common share equivalents, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following table presents all the components utilized to calculate basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share attributable to common stockholders (in millions, except per share amounts; certain amounts may not recalculate due to rounding):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we prepare certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), specifically:
•Adjusted Operating Expense. We define Adjusted Operating Expense as operating expense, excluding the impact of the adjusting items (as described below).
•Adjusted Net Income (Loss). We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss), excluding the impact of the adjusting items (as described below).
•Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding the impact of interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and the adjusting items (as described below).
We use these supplemental non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial performance, analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used when allocating resources. We expect to compute our non-GAAP financial measures consistently using the same methods each period.
We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful measures because they permit investors to better understand changes over comparative periods by providing financial results that are unaffected by certain items that are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.
While we believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors when evaluating our business, they are not prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may have material limitations including, but not limited to, the exclusion of certain costs without a corresponding reduction of net income for the income generated by the assets to which the excluded costs relate. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Adjusting Items to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The impact of the following expense (income) items is excluded from each of our non-GAAP measures (the “adjusting items”):
•Acquisition costs. Represent certain direct and incremental costs related to acquisitions, including: amortization of intangible assets; professional fees, branch integration expenses, travel expenses, employee severance and retention costs, and other personnel expenses classified as selling, general and administrative; gains/losses related to changes in fair value of contingent consideration or holdback liabilities; and amortization of debt issuance costs. Acquisition costs are impacted by the timing and size of the acquisitions. We exclude acquisition costs from our non-GAAP financial measures to provide a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies because such amounts vary significantly based on the magnitude of the acquisition and do not reflect our core operations.
•Restructuring costs. Represent costs stemming from headcount rationalization efforts and certain rebranding costs; impact of divestitures; amortization of debt issuance costs; debt refinancing and extinguishment costs; abandoned lease costs; and costs incurred in connection with the QXO Transactions. We exclude restructuring costs from our non-GAAP financial measures, as such items vary significantly based on the magnitude of the restructuring activity and also do not reflect expected future operating expenses. Additionally, these costs do not necessarily provide meaningful insight into the current or past core operations of our business.
The following table presents the pre-tax impact of the adjusting items on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the periods indicated (in millions):

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations
The demand for exterior building materials is closely correlated to both seasonal changes and unpredictable weather patterns, therefore demand fluctuations are expected.
In general, our net sales and net income are highest in quarters ending June 30, September 30, and December 31, which represent the peak months of construction and re-roofing. Conversely, we have historically experienced low net income levels or net losses in quarters ending March 31, when winter construction cycles and cold weather patterns have an adverse impact on our customers’ ability to conduct their business.
Our balance sheet fluctuates throughout the year, driven by similar seasonal trends. We generally experience an increase in inventory and peak cash usage in the quarters ending March 31 and June 30, driven primarily by increased purchasing that is necessary to meet the rise in demand for our products during the warmer months. Accounts receivable, accounts payable, and cash collections are generally at their highest during the quarters ending June 30 and September 30, when sales are typically at their peak.
At times, we experience fluctuations in our financial performance that are driven by factors outside of our control, including the impact that severe weather events and unusual weather patterns may have on the timing and magnitude of demand and material availability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is defined as the current amount of readily available cash and the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the current needs for cash. We assess our liquidity in terms of our cash and cash equivalents on hand and the ability to generate cash to fund our operating activities, taking into consideration available borrowings and the seasonal nature of our business.
Our principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2025 were our cash and cash equivalents of $57.4 million and our available borrowings of approximately $959.0 million under our asset-based revolving lines of credit.
Significant factors which could affect future liquidity include the following:
•the adequacy of available bank lines of credit;
•the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms;
•cash flows generated from operating activities;
•working capital management;
•acquisitions;
•share repurchases; and
•capital expenditures.
Our primary capital needs are for working capital obligations and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, capital expenditures, and share repurchases. Our primary sources of working capital are cash from operations and bank borrowings. We have financed larger acquisitions through increased bank borrowings and the issuance of long-term debt and common or preferred stock. We then repay any such borrowings with cash flows from operations or subsequent financings. We have funded most of our capital expenditures with cash on hand, increased bank borrowings, or equipment financing, and then reduced those obligations with cash flows from operations. We may explore additional or replacement financing sources in order to bolster liquidity and strengthen our capital structure.
We believe we currently have adequate liquidity and availability of capital to fund our present operations, meet our commitments on our existing debt and fund anticipated growth, including expansion in existing and targeted market areas. We may seek additional acquisition opportunities from time to time. If suitable acquisition opportunities or working capital needs arise that require additional financing, we believe that our financial position, credit profile, and earnings history provide a sufficient base for obtaining additional financing resources at reasonable rates and terms. We may also choose to issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock in order to raise funds. If we were to seek to obtain additional financing or issue additional shares as provided above, then such actions may require QXO’s approval under the Merger Agreement (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | |
| Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | (135.2) | | | $ | (140.8) | | | |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | (23.5) | | | (135.1) | | | |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 141.8 | | | 327.1 | | | |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 0.0 | | | (0.6) | | | |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (16.9) | | | $ | 50.6 | | | |
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $135.2 million in 2025, compared to $140.8 million in 2024. Cash used in operations decreased $5.6 million in 2025 primarily due to an incremental cash inflow of $42.5 million stemming from changes to our net working capital, mainly driven by favorable changes in cash flows related to accounts payable and accrued expenses of $32.2 million and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $19.5 million, partially offset by an unfavorable change in cash flows related to accounts receivable of $13.3 million. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in net income after adjustments for non-cash items of $36.9 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $23.5 million in 2025, compared to $135.1 million in 2024. Cash used in investing activities decreased $111.6 million in 2025 primarily due to a decrease in acquisitions and capital expenditures during the period. See Note 3 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $141.8 million in 2025, compared to $327.1 million in 2024. Cash provided by financing activities decreased $185.3 million in 2025 primarily due to the refinancing of our 2028 Term Loan in March 2024 resulting in an increase in the principal balance of $300.0 million, partially offset by an increase in net borrowings under our revolving lines of credit compared to the prior year.
Financing Arrangements
As of March 31, 2025, we had access to the following financing arrangements:
•the 2026 U.S. Revolver, an asset-based revolving line of credit in the U.S., in an amount up to $1.25 billion and with an outstanding balance (net of unamortized debt issuance costs) of $316.1 million;
•the 2026 Canada Revolver, an asset-based revolving line of credit in Canada, in an amount up to $50.0 million and with no outstanding balance;
•the 2028 Term Loan with an outstanding balance (net of unamortized debt issuance costs) of $1.25 billion; and
•three separate senior notes instruments, the 2030 Senior Notes, 2029 Senior Notes, and 2026 Senior Notes, with outstanding balances (net of unamortized debt issuance costs) of $593.5 million, $348.0 million, and $299.0 million, respectively.
See Note 11 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our current financing arrangements.
Share Repurchase Program
On February 24, 2022, we announced a new share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which we may purchase up to $500.0 million of our common stock. On February 23, 2023, we announced that our Board authorized and approved an increase of the Repurchase Program by approximately $387.9 million, permitting future share repurchases of $500.0 million after considering actual share repurchases as of such re-authorization date.
Share repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through various means, including open market purchases (including block trades), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions or through a series of forward purchase agreements, option contracts or similar agreements and contracts (including Rule 10b5-1 plans) adopted by us, in each case in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including, if applicable, Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The timing, volume, and nature of share repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Program are at our management’s discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program are retired immediately and are included in the category of authorized but unissued shares. Direct and incremental costs associated with the Repurchase Program are deferred and included as a component of the purchase price. The excess of the purchase price over the par value of the common shares is reflected in retained earnings.
We did not make any share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and we do not anticipate making any share repurchases under the Repurchase Program as a result of the QXO Transactions.
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $164.1 million available for repurchases remaining under the Repurchase Program. See Note 7 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
