Builders FirstSource Reports Record Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Results

The company reports net sales of $4.6 billion for the quarter, an increase of 83.1% compared to a year previous, and a gross profit of $1.5 billion showed an increase of 122%.

“We achieved another quarter of double-digit core organic growth to conclude an outstanding year of above market performance and record results in 2021. On a pro forma basis in 2021, we delivered core organic growth of 21% and produced record sales of nearly $20 billion to deliver over $3 billion of Adjusted EBITDA and a record adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.4%,” said Dave Flitman, CEO. “Our business is strong and we grew sales by more than 25% and adjusted EBITDA by more than 60%. I am extremely proud of our team members who achieved these outstanding results despite the many supply chain challenges impacting our industry.”
Increased sales and profits in the fourth quarter anchored a positive year for Builders FirstSource. The company’s full year 2021 report includes net sales of $19.9 billion for the period, increased 132.4% and a gross profit of $5.9 billion increased 163.3%, both numbers also driven by the merger with BMC, commodity inflation, and strong organic growth.
