“We were pleased to deliver solid results for our fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2024, including record levels of net sales for the year,” said
Turner continued, “As we move into fiscal 2025, we believe we are well prepared for what we expect to be continued changes in end market dynamics, as an improving single-family end market should help to offset declining multi-family, and likely commercial, demand as we move throughout the year. While we now anticipate some near-term headwinds, particularly in Wallboard and Steel margins, we expect to deliver improvement in our second quarter and solid results for the full fiscal year. With the typical 3-to-6 month lag in the realization of Wallboard price increases, we expect to see benefits from the implementation of the previously announced pricing actions later this summer. Also, we anticipate recent Steel manufacturer price increases to improve stabilization in pricing for that product category, which has softened further into our first fiscal quarter of 2025, pressuring both our top line and our profitability for the quarter. Leveraging the benefits of our scale, a wide breadth of product offerings and a balanced mix of end markets served, we expect to successfully navigate these shifts in end market demand and price movement during the year, all while continuing to focus on providing outstanding service and continuing the execution of our strategic priorities.”

Gross profit of
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were
SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales increased 80 basis points to 22.3% for the quarter compared to 21.5%. Reduced revenue from price deflation negatively impacted SG&A leverage by an estimated 55 basis points. Increased wages, benefits and other costs resulting mostly from improved volumes as well as some inflationary pressures in those costs, negatively impacted SG&A leverage by an estimated 15 basis points, and approximately 10 basis points of the remaining variance was primarily due to our recent acquisitions and greenfield yard openings. Adjusted SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales of 21.8% increased 90 basis points from 20.9%.
All in, inclusive of a 4.6% increase in interest expense and a 17.1% increase in income tax expense, net income decreased 25.4% to

About
Founded in 1971, GMS operates a network of more than 300 distribution centers with extensive product offerings of wallboard, ceilings, steel framing and complementary construction products. In addition, GMS operates over 100 tool sales, rental and service centers, providing a comprehensive selection of building products and solutions for its residential and commercial contractor customer base across
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GMS reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, it presents Adjusted net income, free cash flow, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are not recognized financial measures under GAAP. GMS believes that Adjusted net income, free cash flow, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin assist investors and analysts in comparing its operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. The Company’s management believes Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A, free cash flow, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and capital investments. In addition, the Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA in certain calculations in its debt agreements.
You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons GMS considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future, the Company may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted net income, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, Adjusted net income, free cash flow, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in GMS’s industry or across different industries. Please see the tables at the end of this release for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted net income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
When calculating organic net sales growth, the Company excludes from the calculation (i) net sales of acquired businesses until the first anniversary of the acquisition date, and (ii) the impact of foreign currency translation.
