TopBuild Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

Share

First quarter sales grew 17.2% to $1.45 billion driven by acquisitions

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)TopBuild Corp. (NYSE:BLD), a leading installer of insulation and commercial roofing and a specialty distributor of insulation and related building products to the construction industry in the United States and Canada, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“Our first quarter performance was in line with our expectations as we continue our focus on delivering compounding shareholder returns, driving operational excellence, and executing our long-term strategy,” said Robert Buck, CEO of TopBuild.

“In the first quarter, sales grew 17.2%, driven by the 2025 acquisitions of SPI and Progressive Roofing, offsetting the macro challenges in residential and light commercial new construction. While the residential market faces ongoing uncertainty, the heavy commercial and industrial end markets are healthy and our results are solid. We are also making excellent progress on the SPI integration and are on track to meet or exceed our original synergy targets,” Mr. Buck continued.

“M&A continues to be a priority given our strong free cash flow and robust pipeline of acquisitions across our installation and specialty distribution segments. To date in 2026, we’re pleased to have completed four acquisitions which together add more than $80 million in annual revenue, further diversify our end-market exposure and continue to position us for long-term growth.

“We are excited about our future in joining QXO, as was announced on April 19. By combining the TopBuild business with QXO, we are confident in our opportunities to accelerate our cross-selling initiatives, capitalize on procurement opportunities and leverage digital technology in a manner that will benefit our customers, employees and all stakeholders,” Mr. Buck concluded.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, incremental EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, the “adjusted” financial measures presented above, and figures presented on a “same branch basis” are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, which are used in managing the business, may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. We define same branch sales as sales from branches in operation for at least 12 full calendar months. Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measures in tables contained in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results under GAAP. Additional information may be found in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission which are available on TopBuild’s website under “SEC Filings” at www.topbuild.com.
