The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the interim reporting guidance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company is composed of a single reportable segment for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2023 contained herein was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2024. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, financial condition as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, and cash flows for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.
The Company has condensed or omitted certain notes and other information from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report. Therefore, these condensed financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. The results for the three months ended March 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 28, 2024, or any other interim period.
The Company operates on a 5-4-4 fiscal calendar and its fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31st of each fiscal year and may comprise 53 weeks in certain years. Fiscal 2024 contains 52 weeks and will end on December 28, 2024. Fiscal 2023 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 30, 2023.
The fair value of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions, which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the Company’s financial statements. Although current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from management’s expectations, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Significant Accounting Policies
The Company has made no material changes to its significant accounting policies described in the notes to its consolidated financial statement included in its 2023 Form 10-K. The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023, or the three months ended March 30, 2024.
Recent Accounting Standards - Adoption Pending
Segment Reporting Improvements. On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The FASB issued the new guidance primarily to provide financial statement users with more disaggregated expense information about a public business entity’s (“PBE”) reportable segment(s). This ASU will require PBEs to provide incremental disclosures related to the entity’s reportable segment(s), including disclosures for expenses that are both 1) significant to each reportable segment and are provided regularly to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) or easily computed from information regularly provided to the CODM and 2) included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources. If a PBE does not disclose any significant segment expenses for a reportable segment, it is required to disclose narratively the nature of the expenses used by the CODM to manage each segment’s operations. Under the provisions of this ASU, all of the disclosures required in the segment guidance, including disclosing a measure of segment profit or loss used by the CODM and reporting significant segment expenses, applies to all PBEs, including those with a single operating or reportable segment. However, this ASU does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for the Company’s annual reporting period for fiscal 2024 and all interim reporting periods beginning in fiscal 2025. At adoption, the disclosures are retrospectively presented for all comparative periods presented. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023-07.
Income Tax Disclosure Improvement. On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. Under the new guidance, entities must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation. They must also further disaggregate income taxes paid. The ASU’s disclosure requirements apply to all entities subject to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). The overall objective of these disclosure requirements is for an entity, particularly an entity operating in multiple jurisdictions, to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature and magnitude of factors contributing to the difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company for the fiscal 2025 annual reporting period. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023-09.
2. Inventories
The Company’s inventories consist almost entirely of finished goods inventory, with a very limited amount of work-in-process inventory. The cost of all inventories is determined by the moving average cost method. The Company included all material charges directly incurred in bringing inventory to its existing condition and location, including the cost of inbound freight, volume incentives, inventory adjustments, tariffs, duties and other import fees. The Company evaluates its inventory value at the end of each quarter to ensure that inventory, when viewed by category, is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which also considers items that may be considered damaged, excess, and obsolete inventory. As of March 30, 2024, the Company assessed the carrying value of its inventory and determined it was presented at the lower of cost or net realizable value and that a reserve was not necessary. As of December 30, 2023, the Company also had no such inventory reserve.
Substantially all of the amount reported in Cost of products sold on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations is composed of costs incurred to purchase inventory that is subsequently resold to customers, including costs related to import duties and tariffs. Import duties and tariffs are not typically passed through to customers as separately billed charges. Certain import duties are classified by the U.S. Department of Commerce (the “Commerce Department”) as “antidumping or countervailing duties,” and these duties may be subject to periodic review and adjustments by the Commerce Department through a process known as a trade remedy administrative review, which can result in both retroactive and prospective adjustments to duty rates. At the time of importation, the Company tenders antidumping duty and countervailing duty cash deposits (as use of that term has been defined by the Commerce Department) to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S.
6

Table of Contents
Customs”) and accounts for duties and tariffs based on the then-current rates in effect, and records any retroactive adjustments in the period in which U.S. Customs determines final duty rates at the time entries subject to antidumping and countervailing duties liquidate (as use of that term has been defined by the Commerce Department), typically through the resolution of a trade remedy administrative review proceeding. During the three months ended March 30, 2024, the Company received refunds of $16.9 million, plus interest of $2.0 million, related to retroactive adjustments associated with certain antidumping duties for imported wood moulding and millwork products. The antidumping duty cash deposits were originally paid and accounted for by the Company in prior reporting periods at the then-current rates. Impacted inventories have since been sold. These adjustment amounts are reflected in Costs of products sold and Interest expense, net, respectively, on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2024. See Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, for disclosure concerning another matter related to import duties.
3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As a result of merger and acquisition activities, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet reflects goodwill along with other intangible assets for customer relationships, noncompete agreements, and trade names. As of March 30, 2024, the only changes since December 30, 2023 were for amortization of intangible assets.
Goodwill
The Company does not amortize its goodwill but must assess its goodwill for impairment at least annually, either quantitatively or qualitatively. Under GAAP, goodwill is assessed at the reporting unit level. Since the Company is composed of one reporting unit, the Company’s goodwill is assessed at the enterprise level. The most recent scheduled annual impairment assessment for goodwill was conducted quantitatively as of October 1, 2023. Based on that assessment, the Company’s management, with the assistance of an independent expert, concluded that goodwill was not impaired, meaning the fair value of the enterprise exceeded the carrying value of the enterprise, including goodwill.
In addition to the annual impairment assessments described above, the Company will assess for impairment between the annual impairment assessments if events occur, or circumstances materially change, that indicate a potential goodwill impairment may exists. During the three months ended March 30, 2024, the Company did not note any indicators of potential impairment for its goodwill.
As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill was $55.4 million.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
The gross carrying amounts, accumulated amortization, and net carrying amounts of the Company definite-lived intangible assets at March 30, 2024 were as follows:

Intangible Asset | Weighted Average Remaining Useful Lives (Years) |  | Gross Carrying Amounts |  | Accumulated Amortization(1) |  | Net Carrying Amounts |
|  |  | ($ in thousands) |
Customer relationships | 9 |  | $ | 48,500 |  |  | $ | (19,722) |  |  | $ | 28,778 |  |
Noncompete agreements | 4 |  | 8,954 |  |  | (8,464) |  |  | 490 |  |
Trade names | 2 |  | 7,826 |  |  | (7,326) |  |  | 500 |  |
Total |  |  | $ | 65,280 |  |  | $ | (35,512) |  |  | $ | 29,768 |  |

(1) Intangible assets except customer relationships are amortized on straight line basis. Certain of our customer relationships are amortized on a double declining balance method and certain others are amortized on a straight line basis.
Amortization Expense
Amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets was approximately $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three-months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively.

Warehouse and reload | $ | 591,768 |  |  | $ | 686,632 |
Direct | 149,750 |  |  | 127,095 |
Customer discounts and rebates | (15,274) |  |  | (15,823) |
Total net sales | $ | 726,244 |  |  | $ | 797,904 |

Warehouse sales are delivered from Company warehouses. Reload sales are similar to warehouse sales but are shipped from warehouses, most of which are operated by third parties, where the Company stores owned products to enhance operating efficiencies. This channel is employed primarily to service strategic customers that would be less economical to service from Company warehouses, and to distribute large volumes of imported products from port facilities. Direct sales are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer without the Company taking physical possession of the inventory and, as a result, typically generate lower margins than warehouse and reload distribution channels but require lower amount of committed capital and fixed costs.
Performance obligations in contracts with customers generally consist solely of delivery of goods.

(1)As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, long-term debt was comprised of $300.0 million of senior secured notes issued in October 2021. These notes are presented under the long-term debt caption of our consolidated balance sheets at $294.1 million and $293.7 million as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. This presentation is net of discount of $2.9 million and $3.0 million and the combined carrying value of debt issuance costs of $3.0 million and $3.2 million as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. The senior secured notes are presented in the above table at face value and have an annual interest rate of 6.0% through maturity.
(2) No borrowings were outstanding on this revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 30, 2024 or fiscal year 2023. Available borrowing capacity under this revolving credit facility was $346.5 million as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023. The available borrowing capacity reflects undrawn letters of credit.
(3) Refer to Note 8, Lease Commitments, for interest rates associated with finance lease obligations.
Interest expense, net on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 consists of interest expense of $13.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively, and interest income of $8.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Interest expense reflects amortization of debt issuance costs and bond discount costs of $0.3 million and $0.3 million for first quarter 2024 and first quarter 2023, respectively. Included in interest income for the three months ended March 30, 2024 is $2.0 million received with refunds from U.S. Customs for antidumping import duties (see Note 2, Inventories). Interest expense for the three months ended March 30, 2024 also includes $1.6 million of accrued estimated interest expense related to import duties that the Company believes it may owe (see Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies).
Senior Secured Notes
In October 2021, the Company and certain subsidiaries completed a private offering of $300.0 million of 6.0% percent senior secured notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), and in connection therewith we entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with the subsidiary guarantors and Truist Bank, as trustee and collateral agent. The 2029 Notes were issued to investors at 98.625% of their principal amount. The 2029 Notes are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than accounts receivables, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, business interruption insurance and other related assets. The 2029 Notes are scheduled to mature on November 15, 2029, however at the sole discretion of the Company, the notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, prior to scheduled maturity. Early redemptions made by the Company prior to November 15, 2026 would require the Company to pay a redemption premium, as defined in the Indenture. Interest expense for the 2029 Notes totaled $4.5 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.
As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s 2029 Notes was approximately $291.9 million and $273.2 million, respectively, which were estimated from inputs that are designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s valuation technique is based primarily on observable market prices in less active markets.
Revolving Credit Facility
9

Table of Contents
In April 2018, the Company and certain subsidiaries entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“the Agent”), and certain other financial institutions. In August 2021, the Company entered into a second amendment to this revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the facility to August 2, 2026, and reduce the interest rate on borrowings under the facility, and in June 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment to this revolving credit facility to, among other things, replace the interest rate based on the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) thereunder with an interest rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) and a customary spread adjustment (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In October 2021, in conjunction with the offering of the 2029 Notes, the Company reduced the credit limit of the Revolving Credit Facility from $600.0 million to $350.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving loan and letter of credit facility of up to $350.0 million, as amended. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets (other than real property), including inventories, accounts receivable, and proceeds from those items, under the Amended and Restated Guaranty and Security Agreement.
From and after June 30, 2023, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) Adjusted Term SOFR (calculated as SOFR plus 0.1%) plus a margin ranging from 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, with the margin determined based upon average excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter for loans based on SOFR, or (ii) the Agent’s base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent, with the margin based upon average excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter for loans based on the base rate.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to availability under the Borrowing Base (as that term is defined in the revolving credit agreement). The Company would be required to repay the Revolving Credit Facility to the extent that such revolving borrowings exceed the borrowing base then in effect. The Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part from time to time without penalty or premium but including all breakage costs incurred by any lender thereunder.
As of March 30, 2024, the Company had zero outstanding borrowings and excess availability, including cash in qualified accounts, of $827.8 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 30, 2023, we had zero outstanding borrowings and excess availability, including cash in qualified accounts, of $868.2 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. Available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility was $346.5 million on March 30, 2024 and $346.5 million December 30, 2023.
Debt Covenants
The Revolving Credit Facility and the 2029 Notes contain various covenants and restrictions, including customary financial covenants. The Company’s right to make draws on the Revolving Credit Facility may be conditioned upon, among other things, compliance with these covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023. These covenants also limit the Company’s ability to, among other things: incur additional debt; grant liens on assets; make investments; repurchase stock; pay dividends and make distributions; sell or acquire assets, including certain real estate assets, outside the ordinary course of business; engage in transactions with affiliates; and make fundamental business changes.
Finance Lease Obligations
The Company’s finance lease liabilities consist of leases related to equipment and vehicles, and real estate, with the majority of those finance leases related to real estate. For more information on our finance lease obligations, refer to Note 8, Lease Commitments.

6. Net Periodic Pension Cost
As previously disclosed, effective December 5, 2023, the Company settled its noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “DB Plan”) by purchasing an irrevocable nonparticipating annuity contract with an insurance company (the “buy-out contract”). The buyout contract met the requirements for a settlement, as that term is defined in ASC No. 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, and the DB Plan and Company, as sponsor, were relieved of primary responsibility for the benefits obligations. Prior to settlement, during the three months ended April 1, 2023 the Company incurred the following net periodic pension cost:

(1) Service cost was not a part of net periodic pension benefit since the pension plan was frozen for all participants.
The net periodic pension cost is included in other expense, net in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
7. Share-Based Compensation
During the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, the Company incurred stock compensation expense of $2.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Stock compensation expense for the three months ended April 1, 2023 included the acceleration of unrecognized compensation cost in conjunction with announced leadership transitions that occurred in 2023.
As of April 1, 2023, $1.3 million was accrued for tax withholding obligations of the Company’s employees upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards. This was presented as a non-cash transaction in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
8. Lease Commitments
The Company has operating and finance leases for certain of its distribution facilities, office space, land, mobile fleet, and equipment. Many of these leases are non-cancelable and typically have a defined initial lease term, and some provide options to renew at the Company’s election for specified periods of time. The majority of these leases have remaining lease terms of one to 15 years, some of which include one or more options to extend the leases for typically five years. The Company’s leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals. Certain leases include provisions for escalating rent based on, among other things, contractually defined increases and/or changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The known changes to lease payments are included in the lease liability at lease commencement. Unknown changes related to CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. In addition, a subset of vehicle lease cost is considered variable. Some leases require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses associated with the leased assets. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and assesses lease classification as either operating or finance at lease inception or modification. Operating lease right-of use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are presented separately on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in property and equipment and the finance lease obligations are presented separately in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. When a lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company has also made the accounting policy election to not separate lease components from non-lease components related to our mobile fleet asset class.

Table of Contents
The Company’s finance lease liabilities consist of leases related to equipment and vehicles, and real estate. A majority of the Company’s finance leases relate to real estate. During fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, the Company entered into real estate financing transactions on certain of its warehouse facilities. These transactions were completed pursuant to sale-leaseback arrangements, and upon their completion, the Company entered into long-term leases on the properties having renewal options. The Company accounted for these transactions in accordance with the ASC 840, Leases, which was the lease accounting standard in effect for the Company at the inception of these arrangements. The Company recorded these transactions as finance lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. Gains on these sale-leaseback transactions were deferred and are being recognized into the Company’s earnings. As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the remaining unrecognized deferred gains related to these transactions were $69.6 million and $70.5 million, respectively, and these deferred gains are being recognized in earning on a straight-line basis. During the first quarters of fiscal 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1.0 million of these deferred gains in each quarter.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities related to the Company’s leases as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023:

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Regulatory Matters
Government and regulatory agencies may have the ability to conduct routine audits and periodic examinations of, and administrative proceedings regarding, the Company’s business operations. As previously disclosed, U.S. Customs gathered initial information from the Company under routine audit procedures, and the information indicated that the Company potentially underpaid duties in prior periods arising from certain classification discrepancies for products imported into the United States as separately entered shipments. In working with the U.S. Customs, the Company has exercised reasonable care to address this matter in an equitable and expeditious manner through the filing of a prior disclosure submission with U.S. Customs and now estimates that it will be required to pay approximately $10.4 million, excluding any interest. The Company accrued this estimated amount in the first quarter of 2024 and it is reflected in Other current liabilities and in Costs of products sold on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as of and for the three months ended March 30, 2024. See Note 2, Inventories, for disclosure concerning another matter related to import duties.
Environmental Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in various proceedings incidental to its business and the Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty, based on presently available information, the Company believes that adequate liabilities have been accrued for probable losses with respect thereto and receivables recorded for expected receipts from settlements. The Company further believes that, while the ultimate outcome of these matters could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in any given reporting period, they will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s long-term financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Collective Bargaining Agreements
As of March 30, 2024, approximately 20% of the Company’s employees were represented by various local labor unions with terms and conditions of employment governed by Collective Bargaining Agreements (“CBAs”). Three CBAs covering approximately 3.5% of the Company’s employees are up for renewal in the remainder of fiscal 2024, of which one has already been renegotiated, one is currently under negotiations, and one is expected to be renegotiated before their renewal dates.
10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had no accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. As of April 1, 2023, the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss were as follows:

| Defined Benefit Pension Plan, Net of Tax |  | Other |  | Total Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net of Tax
April 1, 2023 balance | $ | (32,436) |  |  | $ | 1,252 |  |  | $ | (31,184) |

11. Income Taxes
Effective Income Tax Rate
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 was 24.1 percent and 26.5 percent, respectively. For the full fiscal year ending December 28, 2024, the Company estimates that its annual effective income tax rate will be approximately 26%.
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 were impacted by the permanent addback of certain nondeductible expenses, including meals and entertainment and executive compensation, slightly offset by a benefit from the vesting of restricted stock units, which occurred during each period. Additionally, the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2024 was impacted by a partial release of the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets due to a state income tax adjustment.

12. Earnings Per Share and Stockholders' Equity
Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For rounding purposes when calculating earnings per share, the Company’s policy is to round down to the whole cent.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method whereby net income for the period is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect, if any, of shares of stock associated with unvested share-based grants. However, for performance-based share-based grants, the dilutive effect is included only for grants where the performance goals have been actually achieved.
The reconciliation of basic net income and diluted net earnings per common share for the three-month periods ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 were as follows:

| Three Months Ended
| March 30, 2024 |  | April 1, 2023
| (In thousands, except per share data)
Net income | $ | 17,492 |  |  | $ | 17,812 |
Weighted average shares outstanding - Basic | 8,653 |  |  | 9,059 |
Dilutive effect of share-based awards | 88 |  |  | 98 |
Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted | 8,741 |  |  | 9,157 |
Basic earnings per share | $ | 2.02 |  |  | $ | 1.96 |
Diluted earnings per share | $ | 2.00 |  |  | $ | 1.94 |

Approximately 114,000 and 78,000 weighted-average share-based awards were excluded from the computation of earnings per share assuming dilution during the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively, as the awards would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
Share Repurchases
2023 Authorization
On October 31, 2023, the Company’s board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program for $100 million. Under the new share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time, without prior notice, subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations. Repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, tender offers or pursuant to a trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1.
During the three months ended March 30, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any of its common shares. As of March 30, 2024, there remained $91.4 million repurchase capacity under this authorization.
2021/2022 Authorization
On August 23, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to $25.0 million of its common stock. On May 3, 2022, the Company’s board of directors increased the share repurchase authorization to $100 million. During the three months ended April 1, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the 2021/2022 authorization. Between April 2023 and October 2023, the Company exhausted the remaining available capacity under the 2021/2022 authorization.

Our Culture, Values and Management Focus
We remain committed to driving a culture of profitable growth within new and existing product lines and geographies, while positioning the Company for long-term value creation. The following initiatives represent key areas of our management team’s focus:
1.Foster a performance-driven culture committed to profitable growth. This includes enhancing the customer experience; accelerating organic growth within specific product and solutions offerings where the Company is uniquely advantaged; and deploying capital to drive sustained margin expansion, grow cash flow and maintain continued profitable growth.
17

Table of Contents
2.Migrate sales mix toward higher-margin specialty product categories. The Company is pursuing a revenue mix increasingly weighted toward higher-margin, specialty product categories such as engineered wood, siding, moulding and millwork, outdoor living, specialty lumber and panels, and industrial products. Additionally, the Company is expanding its value-added service offerings designed to simplify complex customer sourcing requirements and provide enhanced service capabilities afforded by the Company’s national platform.
3.Maintain a disciplined capital structure and pursue high-return investments that increase the value of the Company. The Company is maintaining a disciplined capital structure while at the same time investing in its business to modernize its distribution facilities, as well as its tractor and trailer fleet, and to improve operational performance. The Company also continues to evaluate potential acquisition targets that complement its existing capabilities, grow its specialty products business, increase customer exposure, expand its geographic reach through potential greenfield expansions in new markets, or a combination thereof. We invested $5.4 million cash in our business and entered into $8.2 million of finance leases during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to improve operational performance and productivity.
Our culture is guided by an unwavering commitment to apply our values to every decision we make and every action we take:
•Customer Centric - We put our customers first, so we are customer centric in all that we do.
•Integrity - We act with integrity, because doing the right thing is critical to our success.
•Respect - We treat everyone with dignity and respect.
•Grit - We show grit in the face of changing landscapes.
•Collaboration - We collaborate with each other and our customers to build great teams and construct innovative solutions.
Looking ahead, we plan to continue pursuing a three-pronged growth strategy focusing on specialty products sales growth, opportunistic mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”), and potential greenfield expansion in new geographic markets. Within specialty products, we will continue our focus on the five key areas of engineered wood, siding, moulding and millwork, outdoor living, and industrial products, which we believe are all favorable for two-step distributors and have attractive long-term prospects.
Factors That Affect Our Operating Results and Trends
Our results of operations and financial performance are influenced by a variety of factors, including the following: housing market conditions; pricing and product cost variability; volumes of product sold; competition; the cyclical nature of the industry in which we operate; consolidation among competitors, suppliers, and customers; disintermediation risk; loss of products or key suppliers and manufacturers; our dependence on international suppliers and manufacturers for certain products; effective inventory management relative to our sales volume or the prices of the products we produce; business disruptions; potential acquisitions and the integration and completion of such acquisitions; information technology security risks and business interruption risks; the ability to attract, train, and retain highly qualified associates and other key personnel while controlling related labor costs; exposure to product liability and other claims and legal proceedings related to our business and the products we distribute; natural disasters, catastrophes, fire, wars or other unexpected events; the impacts of climate change; successful implementation of our strategy; wage increases or work stoppages by our union employees; costs imposed by federal, state, local, and other regulations; compliance costs associated with federal, state, and local environmental protection laws; the effects of epidemics, global pandemics or other widespread public health crises and governmental rules and regulations; fluctuations in our operating results; our level of indebtedness and our ability to incur additional debt to fund future needs; the covenants of the instruments governing our indebtedness limiting the discretion of our management in operating the business; the potential to incur more debt; the fact that we have consummated certain sale leaseback transactions with resulting long-term non-cancelable leases, many of which are or will be finance leases; the fact that we lease many of our distribution centers, and we would still be obligated under these leases even if we close a leased distribution center; inability to raise funds necessary to finance a required repurchase of our senior secured notes; a lowering or withdrawal of debt ratings; changes in our product mix; increases in fuel and other energy prices or availability of third-part freight providers; changes in insurance-related deductible/retention reserves based on actual loss development experience; the possibility that the value of our deferred tax assets could become impaired; changes in our expected annual effective tax rate could be volatile; the costs and liabilities related to our participation in multi-employer pension plans could increase; the risk that our cash flows and capital resources may be insufficient to service our existing or future indebtedness; interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase; and changes in, or

interpretation of, accounting principles. These factors, and the related trends and uncertainties, have historically produced cyclicality in our results of operations, and we expect this cyclicality to continue in future periods.

First Quarter of Fiscal 2024 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2023
For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we generated consolidated net sales of $726.2 million, a decrease of $71.7 million when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and the consolidated gross margin percentage increased from 16.7 percent to 17.6 percent year over year. The decrease in consolidated net sales in the current period was due to 11.3 percent and 3.3 percent declines in specialty products and structural products net sales, respectively. For both product categories, volumes were adversely impacted by winter weather in January 2024 in several parts of the U.S., which resulted in the closure of about half of our branch locations for one to five days. Volumes improved in February and March 2024. Compared to first quarter 2023, industry-wide commodity pricing for framing lumber decreased 2.4% and increased 23.2% for structural panels.
20

Table of Contents
The increase in consolidated gross margin percentage in the current period was due to a net benefit of $6.5 million for import duty items in the current period for our specialty products. The import duty items were related to changes in retroactive rates for anti-dumping duties resulting in a credit to Cost of products sold of $16.9 million, partially offset by classification adjustments for certain goods imported by the Company that resulted in an increase in Cost of products sold of $10.4 million. The net benefit from import duties added 0.9% to the consolidated gross margin percentage for the current period.
Net sales of specialty products, which includes products such as engineered wood, siding, millwork and moulding, outdoor living, specialty lumber and panels, and industrial products, decreased $64.0 million, or 11.3 percent, to $503.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. This decline in net sales for specialty products was due to deflationary impacts across several specialty categories. Specialty products gross profit decreased $2.6 million, or 2.4 percent, to $104.0 million, with a year-over-year increase in gross margin percentage to 20.7 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 from 18.8 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The net benefit for import duty items of $6.5 million described above added 1.3% to the specialty products gross margin for the current quarter.
Net sales of structural products, which includes products such as lumber, plywood, oriented strand board, rebar, and remesh, decreased $7.7 million, or 3.3 percent, to $222.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Structural products gross margin percentage for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was 10.6 percent, down from 11.7 percent in the prior-year period. The decreases in structural products net sales and gross profit percentage were due primarily to lower framing lumber volumes when compared to the elevated levels in the prior year period.
Our selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $91.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, comparable with the $91.2 million for the prior year period. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 22.2 percent, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in depreciation and amortization is due to a higher base of amortizable and depreciable assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 when compared the prior-year period, resulting from our continued focus on capital investment. Other operating expenses decreased $2.8 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023; the prior year period included $3.7 million for restructuring costs related to our leadership transition and costs related to settlement of our legacy defined benefit pension plan.
Interest expense, net, decreased by 39.8 percent, or $3.1 million, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the generation of higher interest income on our cash and cash equivalents due to higher balances and interest rates in the current quarter. Included in interest income for the three months ended March 30, 2024 is $2.0 million received for antidumping import duty refunds. Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 30, 2024 also includes $1.6 million of estimated accrued interest expense related to estimated import duties owed by the Company (see Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies).
Our effective tax rates were 24.1 percent and 26.5 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our effective tax rate for both periods was impacted by the permanent addback of certain nondeductible expenses, including meals and entertainment and executive compensation, slightly offset by a benefit from the vesting of restricted stock units, which occurred during each period. For the current quarter, the partial release of a valuation allowance for deferred income taxes lowered our effective income tax rate by 1.4 percent. We anticipate that our annual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2024 will be approximately 26 percent.
Our net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $17.5 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, versus $17.8 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The change in net income was due to the matters previously discussed. Despite lower net income in the current quarter, basic and diluted earnings per share were higher than the prior year period due to a lower average number of common shares outstanding during the current quarter; this resulted from share repurchases that occurred in fiscal 2023 after the first quarter.

Table of Contents
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be cash flows from sales and operating activities in the normal course of our operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and availability from our revolving credit facility, as needed. We expect that these sources will be sufficient to fund our ongoing cash requirements for at least the next 12 months and into the foreseeable future. As of March 30, 2024, we had $481.3 million of cash and cash equivalents plus $346.5 million of availability on our revolving credit facility.
Senior Secured Notes
In October 2021, we completed a private offering of $300 million of our six percent senior secured notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually. Our 2029 Notes are scheduled to mature on November 15, 2029, and no principal is due until that time as long as we remain in compliance with the related covenants. As of March 30, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Revolving Credit Facility
Our amended revolving credit facility matures on August 2, 2026, provided we remain in compliance with the related covenants. As of March 30, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Any outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (calculated as SOFR plus 0.1%) plus a margin ranging from 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, with the margin determined based upon average excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter for loans based on SOFR, or (ii) the agent’s base rate (as that term is defined in the revolving credit agreement) plus a margin ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent, with the margin based upon average excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter for loans based on the base rate.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to availability under the Borrowing Base (as that term is defined in the revolving credit agreement). The Company is required to repay revolving loans thereunder to the extent that such revolving loans exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect. The Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part from time to time without penalty or premium but including all breakage costs incurred by any lender thereunder.
Available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility was $346.5 million as of March 30, 2024. The available borrowing capacity reflects undrawn letters of credit.
Finance Lease Commitments
Our finance lease liabilities consist of leases related to equipment and vehicles, and to real estate, with the majority of those finance lease commitments relating to the real estate financing transactions that we completed in recent years. Our total finance lease commitments totaled $292.1 million and $285.4 million as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. Of the $292.1 million of finance lease commitments as of March 30, 2024, $243.6 million related to real estate and $48.4 million related to equipment. Of the $285.4 million of finance lease commitments as of December 30, 2023, $243.2 million related to real estate and $42.3 million related to equipment.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2024 was $31.1 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $89.0 million in the first three months of fiscal 2023. This decrease of $120.1 million in cash generated from operating activities in the current year period compared to the prior year period was primarily a result of seasonal inventory purchases in the current year period. The net source of cash generated in the prior year period was driven by significant inventory reduction efforts.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $5.3 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $9.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower purchases of property and equipment in the current year-period compared to the prior-year period. However, during the
22

Table of Contents
first quarter of fiscal 2024, we also invested in additional fleet upgrades by entering into $8.2 million of finance leases, which are non-cash activities at lease inception.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $4.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023. This change was due to higher payments on finance lease obligations in the current period. Other than to satisfy payroll and withholding taxes for vesting grants of restricted stock units, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during either the first quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2023.
Share Repurchase Program
As of March 30, 2024, we have a remaining authorization amount of $91.4 million under our $100 million share repurchase program that was previously disclosed and authorized by our Board of Directors on October 31, 2023.
Under this share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time, without prior notice, subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations. Repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, tender offers or pursuant to a trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1.
Net Working Capital
Net working capital is an important measurement we use to determine the efficiencies of our operations and our ability to readily convert assets into cash. Net working capital is defined as the sum of accounts receivables and inventory, less accounts payable, each determined in accordance with GAAP and included in our consolidated balance sheets. This metric differs from traditional working capital in that it excludes certain current assets and current liabilities that are reported in our consolidated balance sheets. Management of net working capital helps us monitor our progress in meeting our goals to enhance working capital assets.

Net working capital of $487.5 million as of March 30, 2024, compared to $414.1 million as of December 30, 2023, increased on a net basis by approximately $73.4 million. The increase in net working capital was primarily driven by the increases in accounts receivable and inventory due to higher sales and seasonality. This overall increase was partially offset by the increase in accounts payable due to seasonal inventory procurement activity.
Net working capital of $487.5 million as of March 30, 2024, compared to $531.2 million as of April 1, 2023, decreased on a net basis by approximately $43.8 million. The decrease in net working capital was primarily driven by the decrease in inventory, which reflected our strategic inventory management efforts and a deflationary pricing environment.

Our investments in capital assets consist of cash paid for owned assets and the inception of financing lease arrangements for long-lived assets to support our distribution infrastructure. The gross values of these assets are included in property and
