SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (the "Company" or "SiteOne") SITE announced earnings for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019 ("Second Quarter 2019").

"We delivered gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion during the second quarter, despite our limited base business topline growth," said Doug Black, SiteOne's Chairman and CEO. "Increased rain in eight of our eleven regions, especially in Texas, New England and the Midwest, significantly restricted organic daily sales growth in May and June. With lower sales, our teams did a good job managing expenses even as we continue to make significant investments in building the business. The acquisitions we completed last year and in the first quarter of this year contributed well to our revenue and EBITDA growth. We also delivered strong cash flow during the quarter as our new supply chain capabilities allowed us to manage inventory more effectively. Lastly, we completed three acquisitions during the second quarter and one in July, expanding our product offering and geographic reach to better serve our customers in those markets. Looking forward, we see a robust pipeline of acquisitions and a solid underlying market to support our performance and growth as we execute our strategy in the second half of the year and beyond."

Second Quarter 2019 Results

Net sales for the Second Quarter 2019 increased to $752.4 million, or 9%, compared to $687.8 million for the prior-year period. Organic Daily Sales increased 1% compared to the prior-year period as unfavorable weather negatively impacted sales volume. Acquisitions contributed $57.7 million, or 8%, to net sales growth for the quarter.

Gross profit increased to $258.0 million, or 12%, compared to $229.9 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin increased by 90 basis points to 34.3%. Gross margin during the quarter was positively impacted by contributions from acquisitions, opportunistic inventory buys, and improved pricing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased to $166.7 million from $145.2 million in the same period last year. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased 110 basis points to 22.2% primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, increased health care and stock-based compensation expense, and general wage inflation combined with modest organic sales growth.

Net income increased to $64.7 million, compared to $63.1 million during the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income for the quarter is attributable to net sales growth and improved profitability, partially offset by increased tax expense due to reduced excess tax benefits.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $114.3 million, compared to $103.0 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 20 basis points to 15.2%.

Outlook

For 2019, we continue to expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $193 million to $207 million, representing year-over-year growth of 10-18%.

Reconciliation for the forward-looking full-year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA outlook is not being provided, as the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation.

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 2019 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: cyclicality in residential and commercial construction markets; general economic and financial conditions, including inflation; weather conditions, seasonality and availability of water to end-users; laws and government regulations applicable to our business that could negatively impact demand for our products; 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; inventory management risks; ability to implement our business strategies and achieve our growth objectives; acquisition and integration risks; increased operating costs; 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 30, 2018.

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) expense, 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 not in the ordinary course of business, other non-cash items, financing fees, other fees, and expenses related to acquisitions and other non-recurring (income) loss. Adjusted EBITDA excludes any earnings or loss of acquisitions prior to their respective acquisition dates for all periods presented. 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.
