FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BLUELINX ANNOUNCES SECOND-QUARTER RESULTS
– Second-Quarter Revenue Growth of 16.9% –
– Second-Quarter Results Impacted by 31% Drop in Structural Wood Prices
and Restructuring Charges –
ATLANTA – July 31, 2013 – BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (NYSE:BXC), a leading distributor of building products in North America, today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 29, 2013.
Revenues increased 16.9% to $604.6 million from $517.0 million for the same period a year ago. The Company incurred a net loss of $22.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for the fiscal second quarter of 2013, compared with a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the fiscal second quarter of 2012. The Company’s results for the fiscal second quarter were impacted by several previously announced factors, including:

| ■ | a pre-tax restructuring charge of $8.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, related to the Company’s change in executive leadership and strategic restructuring activities: $7.3 million of the total restructuring charges were recorded in operating expense and the remaining $1.0 million is a restructuring inventory reserve recorded in cost of goods sold;
| ■ | lower gross margins related to a significant decline in prices for structural wood products throughout the fiscal second quarter, including a pre-tax lower of cost or market reserve charge of $3.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.

Gross profit for the fiscal second quarter totaled $55.2 million, down 12.7% from $63.2 million in the year-ago period. Gross margins were 9.1% compared to 12.2% a year ago. Structural wood product prices experienced a steady downward trajectory throughout the three months ended June 29, 2013 which negatively impacted gross margins. Overall gross margins were also impacted by a higher sales mix of lower margin structural products, which grew from 41% of revenue a year ago to 45% of fiscal second quarter revenues. Specialty gross margin of 13.4% increased from 13.3% a year ago as a result of the Company’s ongoing initiatives to increase margins.

Fiscal second-quarter operating expenses of $70.7 million increased $11.4 million compared to the same period a year ago. Operating expense included severance charges of $4.3 million, stock compensation related charges of $2.5 million, and $0.5 million in other charges all associated with the Company’s previously announced change in executive leadership and strategic restructuring activities. Operating expense in the prior year period included a $0.5 million gain from a property insurance settlement. Reported operating loss for the quarter was $15.6 million, compared to an operating profit of $3.9 million a year ago and reflects the decline in gross margin and the significant special items detailed in the table below.
“The building products market remains highly competitive and volatile; however, the outlook for new residential construction continues to suggest favorable opportunities for BlueLinx. The benefits of our strategic restructuring activities and refocused operating strategies are the keys to achieving our plan of quickly returning BlueLinx to profitability,” said BlueLinx Executive Chairman Howard Cohen.
“We expect that the Company will be positioned to be EBITDA positive in the second half of 2013 and beyond, assuming total revenue growth consistent with market expectations. Throughout the remainder of fiscal 2013, the Company will continue to implement the cost savings and profit-improving initiatives started this quarter, in order to drive greater speed and efficiency throughout the Company. The Company will redirect capital from these savings to areas of investment that will drive future revenue growth and higher return on investment,” Mr. Cohen continued.
“As we move into the second half of the year, our objective is to continue positioning BlueLinx for near-term growth and positive operating profits. We will work toward this objective with greater speed and effectiveness, continuing to expand margins through the continued growth of our specialty products business, managing our structural business for profitability by improving margins to historical levels, and aggressively managing costs,” Mr. Cohen concluded.
For the fiscal six months ended June 29, 2013, revenues totaled $1.11 billion, up 14.1% from $970.7 million the same period a year ago. Net loss for the fiscal six months ended June 29, 2013 totaled $35.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared with $14.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, a year ago. Fiscal six-month results for 2013 include a pre-tax restructuring charge totaling $9.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share and a lower of cost of market reserve charge of $3.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
Gross profit for the fiscal six months ended June 29, 2013 totaled $111.6 million and gross margin was 10.1%, compared with $117.4 million and 12.1%, respectively, a year earlier. Declines in gross margin were driven by lower margin structural sales increasing from 41% of revenue in the year ago period to 45% of revenue for the six months ended June 29, 2013, compounded by the low structural gross margin in the current quarter. The decline in gross margin was partially offset by an increase in specialty gross margin to 13.2% from 13.0% a year ago as a result of the Company’s ongoing initiatives to increase margins.
Total operating expenses increased to $132.3 million from $117.6 million a year ago. Operating expenses in the first half of 2013 included $8.2 million in restructuring and severance costs and $0.2 million in gains from the sale of certain properties. Operating expenses in the first half of 2012 included total gains of $1.0 million from an insurance settlement and the sale of certain properties. Reported operating loss for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was $20.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $0.2 million a year ago and reflects the decline in gross margin and the significant special items detailed in the table below.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
BlueLinx reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company also believes that presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e., results excluding certain charges or other nonrecurring events, when appropriate, provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance, without the impact of significant special items, and thereby enhances the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance relative to past performance and provides a better baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Any non-GAAP measures used herein are reconciled in the financial tables accompanying this news release. The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate the performance of the Company. EBITDA, as we define it, is an amount equal to net (loss) income plus interest expense and all interest expense related items (e.g. changes associated with ineffective interest rate swap, write-off of debt issue costs, charges associated with mortgage refinancing), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented herein because we believe it is a useful supplement to cash flow from operations in understanding cash flows generated from operations that are available for debt service (interest and principal payments) and further investment in acquisitions. However, EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and is not intended to present a superior measure of the financial condition from those determined under GAAP.
