  • Gross profit increased 11% to $286.1 million; gross margin increased 70 basis points to 35.0%

ROSWELL, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (the “Company” or “SiteOne”) (NYSE: SITE) announced earnings for its second quarter ended June 28, 2020 (“Second Quarter 2020”).

“I am extremely proud of our team as we work together during this very challenging year to operate safely, provide exceptional service and support to our customers, manage our business well and take care of our associates all along the way,” said Doug Black, Chairman and CEO of SiteOne. “As a result, we delivered strong results for all stakeholders during the quarter. After a challenging April, sales recovered strongly in May and June as COVID-related restrictions were eased in most geographies. We have seen particular strength in residential repair & upgrade demand where stay-at-home orders are spurring homeowners to invest in their outdoor living spaces. Growth across the business, combined with effective cost management and good performance from our acquisitions helped drive meaningful improvement in year-over-year profitability and cash flow. We are now cautiously optimistic for the second half of the year given the robust recovery in residential construction, continued strength in repair & upgrade and steady maintenance demand. Given our more positive outlook, we have also resumed acquisition activities and now expect to close additional deals in the coming months. Overall, we remain well-positioned to navigate this uncertain environment in the near-term while leveraging our unique leadership position and capabilities to execute our strategy and deliver long-term performance and growth for all stakeholders.”

Second Quarter 2020 Results

Net sales increased to $817.7 million, or 9%, compared to $752.4 million for the prior-year period. Organic Daily Sales increased 3% compared to the prior year period driven by strong demand in our end markets partially offset by the impact of COVID-19 restrictions. Acquisitions contributed $42.6 million, or 6%, to net sales growth for the quarter.

Gross profit increased to $286.1 million, or 11%, compared to $258.0 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin increased 70 basis points to 35.0% due to lower freight costs and contributions from acquisitions which carry higher gross margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $175.0 million from $166.7 million in the same period last year. SG&A as a percent of net sales decreased to 21.4%, an improvement of 80 basis points compared to the same period last year due to organic sales growth and tight cost management in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net income improved by 22% to $79.1 million, compared to $64.7 million during the same period in the prior year, driven by higher net sales, SG&A leverage, and gross margin improvement.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 16% to $132.1 million, compared to $114.3 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 100 basis points to 16.2% driven by improved gross margin and SG&A leverage.

Cash flow from operations increased to $184.7 million, compared to $37.1 million for the prior-year period due to improved profitability and good working capital management.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Net debt, calculated as long-term debt (net of issuance costs and discounts) plus finance leases, net of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet as of June 28, 2020, was $476.5 million compared to $621.7 million as of June 30, 2019. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months was 2.2 times compared to 3.3 times at the same time last year.

As of June 28, 2020, SiteOne had $163.8 million cash on hand and $187.3 million in available capacity under its ABL Facility.

Outlook

We have continued to see strong sales growth so far in July and the underlying market trends are positive. That said, we are facing tougher comparable sales growth from last year as we move into our heavy fall season in September and October. While there continues to be uncertainty associated with COVID-19 developments and the overall economy, we are reintroducing full year 2020 guidance given the improved trends and near-term visibility. We now expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $205 million to $225 million. This guidance does not include any contributions from unannounced acquisitions.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our 2020 Adjusted EBITDA outlook. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “intend,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions. You should be aware that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time that may cause our business not to develop as we expect, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: the potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (which, among other things, may exacerbate each of the risk listed below); economic downturn or recession; cyclicality in residential and commercial construction markets; general economic and financial conditions; weather conditions, seasonality and availability of water to end-users; public perceptions that our products and services are not environmentally friendly; competitive industry pressures; product shortages and the loss of key suppliers; product price fluctuations; ability to pass along product cost increases; inventory management risks; ability to implement our business strategies and achieve our growth objectives; acquisition and integration risks; increased operating costs; risks associated with our large labor force (including work stoppages due to COVID-19); retention of key personnel; construction defect and product liability claims; impairment of goodwill; adverse credit and financial markets events and conditions (which have worsened and may continue to worse as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic); credit sale risks; performance of individual branches; environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; hazardous materials and related materials; laws and government regulations applicable to our business that could negatively impact demand for our products; computer data processing systems; cybersecurity incidents (including the July 2020 ransomware attack); security of personal information about our customers; intellectual property and other proprietary rights; the possibility of securities litigation; unanticipated changes in our tax provisions; our substantial indebtedness and our ability to obtain financing in the future; increases in interest rates; risks related to our common stock; terrorism or the threat of terrorism; and other risks, as described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including Forms 10-Q and 8-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This release includes certain financial information, not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the information contained in the historical financial information of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is set forth herein.

We present Adjusted EBITDA in order to evaluate the operating performance and efficiency of our business. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for items permitted under the covenants of our credit facilities. EBITDA represents our net income (loss) plus the sum of income tax (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets and other non-cash items, other non-recurring (income) and loss. Adjusted EBITDA does not include pre-acquisition acquired Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of Adjusted EBITDA instead of net income has limitations as an analytical tool. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Net debt is defined as long-term debt (net of issuance costs and discounts) plus finance leases, net of cash and cash-equivalents on our balance sheet. Leverage Ratio is defined as Net Debt to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash Flow from Operating Activities, less capital expenditures. We define Organic Daily Sales as Organic Sales divided by the number of Selling Days in the relevant reporting period. We define Organic Sales as Net sales, including Net sales from newly-opened greenfield branches, but excluding Net sales from acquired branches until they have been under our ownership for at least four full fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal year. Selling Days are the number of business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, that SiteOne branches are open during the relevant reporting period.
