PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
Overview
TopBuild Corp., headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, is a leading installer of insulation and commercial roofing and a specialty distributor of insulation and other building products to the construction industry in the United States and Canada. On July 1, 2015, we began trading on the NYSE under the symbol “BLD.”
Segment Overview
We operate in two segments: our Installation Services segment, which accounts for approximately 59% of our sales, and our Specialty Distribution segment, which accounts for approximately 41% of our sales.
We believe that having both Installation Services and Specialty Distribution provides us with a number of distinct competitive advantages. First, the combined buying power of our two business segments, along with our scale, strengthens our ties to the major manufacturers of insulation, commercial roofing and other building products. This enables us to buy competitively and ensures the availability of supply to our local branches and distribution centers. The overall effect drives efficiencies throughout our supply chain. Second, being a leader in both installation services and specialty distribution allows us to reach a broader set of builders and contractors more effectively, regardless of their size or geographic location in the U.S. and Canada, and leverage residential, commercial, and industrial construction growth regardless of location. Third, during housing industry downturns, many insulation contractors who buy directly from manufacturers during industry peaks return to purchasing through specialty distributors. This helps to reduce our exposure to cyclical swings in our business. We’ve also increased our exposure to non-cyclical revenue through maintenance and other recurring installation services through acquisitions.
Installation Services
We provide insulation and commercial roofing services nationwide through our Installation Services segment which has more than 200 branches located throughout the continental United States.
4
Table of Contents
Various insulation applications we install for the residential, commercial, and industrial end markets which represent 74% of our Insulation Services segment’s sales during the year ended December 31, 2025, include:
| • | Fiberglass batts and rolls |
| • | Blown-in loose fill fiberglass |
| • | Polyurethane spray foam |
| • | Blown-in loose fill cellulose |
We also provide roofing installation services, re-roofing and maintenance for the commercial and industrial end markets including, but not limited to:
| ● | Single-ply roofing |
| ● | Built-up roofing systems |
| ● | Metal roofing systems |
In addition to insulation and roofing products, we install other building products including glass and windows, rain gutters, garage doors, closet shelving, and fireplaces, among other items.
We handle every stage of the installation process including material procurement supplied by leading manufacturers, project scheduling and logistics, multi-phase professional installation, and installation quality assurance. With our recent expansion into commercial roofing, we have the opportunity to provide additional services after the initial installation is completed.
Our Installation Services customer base includes national and regional single-family homebuilders, single-family custom builders, multi-family builders, commercial and industrial general building contractors, school districts, municipalities, remodelers, and individual homeowners.
Specialty Distribution
We distribute building and mechanical insulation, insulation accessories, rain gutters and other building product materials for the residential and commercial/industrial end markets through our Specialty Distribution business. Insulation and insulation accessories, primarily fiberglass and spray foam, comprise approximately 88% of our Specialty Distribution sales. We have more than 250 distribution centers across the United States and Canada. Our customer base consists of thousands of insulation and building contractors of all sizes serving a wide variety of residential and commercial/industrial customers, gutter contractors, weatherization contractors, other contractors, dealers, metal building erectors, and modular home builders.
For further information on our segments, see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 8. Segment Information.
Demand for Our Products and Services
Demand for our insulation and commercial roofing services and other building products distribution is driven by new single-family residential and multi-family home construction, commercial/industrial construction, residential remodel and repair activity, commercial/industrial maintenance and repair, and the growing need for more energy efficient homes, commercial structures, and industrial buildings. The minimum amount of insulation installed in a new home or commercial project is regulated by various building and energy codes. Our leadership position in both insulation and specialty distribution allows us to reach a broader set of customers more effectively. We recognize that competition for the installation and sale of insulation and other building products occurs in localized geographic markets across the U.S. and Canada, and, as such, our operating model is based on empowering our geographically diverse branches that develop and maintain local customer relationships. At the same time, our dispersed branches benefit from centralized functions such as purchasing, information technology, sales and marketing support, and accounting and finance.

Competitive Advantages
The market for the distribution and installation of building materials including commercial roofing is highly fragmented and competitive. Barriers to entry for local competitors are relatively low, primarily in the residential end market, increasing the risk that additional competitors will emerge. Our ability to maintain our competitive position depends on several factors including our scale, sales channels, diversified product lines, operational capabilities and strong local presence.
Scale. Within our geographic footprint, we provide products and services to each major construction end market in the U.S. and provide commercial/industrial products in Canada. Our scale and local market presence combined with our various centralized corporate functions and corporate executive management team, enable us to successfully compete as we:
| • | Leverage systems, management, and best practice processes across both our Installation Services and Specialty Distribution businesses; |
| • | Provide national and regional home builders and commercial/industrial general contractors with broad geographic reach, while maintaining consistent policies and practices that enable reliable, high-quality products and services across many geographies and building sites; |
| • | Provide designers and installers of mechanical systems for commercial/industrial buildings, technical knowledge and expertise, and value-add fabrication services; |
| • | Leverage our strong ties to major manufacturers of insulation, commercial roofing and other building products to help ensure we are buying competitively, maintaining our supply to our local branches and distribution centers, and driving efficiencies throughout our supply chain; |
| • | Provide consistent, customized support and geographic coverage to our customers; and |
| • | Maintain an operating capacity and variable cost model that allows us to ramp-up rapidly and adjust our business model, without major incremental investment, to target forecasted growth in housing starts and construction activity in each of our end markets throughout the U.S. and Canada. |
Two avenues to reach builders and contractors. We believe that having both installation services and specialty distribution businesses provides many advantages to reaching our customers. Our Installation Services business customer base includes builders and contractors of all sizes as well as municipalities and school districts. Our branches go to market with the local brands that regional and custom builders recognize and value, and our national footprint is appealing to large builders who value consistency across a broad geography. Our Specialty Distribution business focuses on selling to small contractors who generally have strong local relationships with smaller custom builders and general contractors, and to industrial general contractors and facilities requiring customized solutions on a recurring basis. With our expansion into commercial roofing, we are able to offer full building envelope solutions to large commercial and industrial builders, which we believe provides a unique value to our customers.
Diversified lines of business. In response to previous housing market downturns and to mitigate the cyclicality of residential new home construction, we expanded and enhanced our ability to serve the commercial/industrial construction markets through targeted acquisitions. This included expanding our commercial/industrial operations and sales capacity, adding commercial/industrial product offerings, developing relationships with commercial/industrial general contractors, and building our expertise and reputation for quality service for both light and heavy commercial/industrial construction projects. Although commercial/industrial construction is affected by many of the same macroeconomic and local economic factors that drive residential new construction, commercial/industrial construction has historically followed different cycles than residential new construction.

Table of Contents
Strong local presence. Competition for the installation and sale of insulation and other building products to builders occurs in localized geographic markets throughout the U.S. and Canada. Builders and contractors in each local market have the ability to choose among several insulation and commercial roofing installers and specialty distributors to value their projects, and for local relationships, quality, and timeliness. Our insulation and building product installation branches are locally branded businesses that are recognized within the communities in which they operate. Our commercial roofing installation branches have strong relationships with general contractors and service their customers throughout the U.S., wherever new construction or re-roofing and maintenance is needed. For residential housing, our Specialty Distribution centers service primarily local contractors, lumberyards, retail stores and others who, in turn, service local homebuilders and other customers. For commercial/industrial mechanical insulation, we primarily service mechanical insulation installers, general contractors and end-users across diverse industries such as oil and gas, liquefied natural gas, data centers, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals and biotech. In addition, we provide industrial customers with mechanical insulation for maintenance and repair operations which must be performed on a scheduled basis as mechanical insulation is often exposed to extreme temperatures. Our operating model, in which individual branches and distribution centers maintain local customer relationships, enables us to develop long-tenured relationships with these customers, build local reputations for quality, service and timeliness, and provide specialized products and personalized services tailored to a geographic region or customer. At the same time, our local operations benefit from centralized functions, such as purchasing, information technology, sales support, and accounting and finance, and the resources and scale efficiencies of an installation and distribution business that has a presence across the U.S. and Canada.
Unique ability to offset decreases in demand for services with our Specialty Distribution business. During industry downturns many insulation contractors, who buy directly from manufacturers during industry peaks, return to purchasing through distributors for smaller shipments, less than a full truckload. This tends to drive incremental customers to our Specialty Distribution business, which can help offset a decrease in demand for installation services in our Installation Services business during market slowdowns. We believe that our leadership position in both Installation Services and Specialty Distribution businesses helps to reduce exposure to cyclical swings in our lines of business. In addition, we’ve increased our exposure to non-cyclical revenue through maintenance and other recurring installation services.
Strong cash flow and favorable working capital fund organic growth. We are able to take advantage of economies of scale due to the size of our business and combined purchasing power. We have a strong track record for our ability to reduce fixed costs and quickly adjust our business model to achieve profitability at lower levels of demand. For further discussion on our cash flows and liquidity, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Major Customers
We have a diversified portfolio of customers. Our top customer accounted for approximately 3.1 percent of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our top ten customers accounted for approximately 10.6 percent of our total sales in 2025.
Suppliers
Our businesses depend on our ability to obtain an adequate supply of high-quality products and components from manufacturers and other suppliers. We source the majority of our fiberglass building products from four primary U.S.-based residential fiberglass insulation manufacturers: CertainTeed, Johns Manville, Knauf, and Owens Corning. Failure by our suppliers to provide us with an adequate supply of high-quality products on commercially reasonable terms, or to comply with applicable legal requirements, could have a material, adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results. We have positive relationships with our suppliers and work diligently with them to ensure the quality of materials. Our current business model with material suppliers affords us flexibility in maximizing material purchasing, which is often driven by region, demand, supply, and pricing, without the constraints of exclusivity agreements.

Human Capital
As a leading installer of insulation and commercial roofing and a specialty distributor of insulation and related building material products to the construction industry in the U.S. and Canada, our performance relies heavily on human capital and relationships with customers and suppliers. Accordingly, our success depends on our ability to attract, develop, protect, reward and retain our employees. To support these objectives, we have designed and implemented a human capital management program that fosters a culture of belonging, collaboration, support, and innovation where every voice is welcome, heard, and respected.
Employee Recruiting & Retention
As of December 31, 2025, we had 14,707 total employees (excluding contingent workers), of which 6,744 were insulation installers. 596 of our employees were covered by 40 collective bargaining agreements that expire on various dates through 2029. We believe that our relationships with our union partners are good.
To attract and retain experienced employees, we offer a supportive and engaging workplace as well as competitive compensation, benefits, and development programs to all our employees. Our benefits and development programs are designed to meet the needs of a diverse employee workforce and include tuition reimbursement, matching 401(k) contributions, multiple health plan options, career growth and professional development opportunities and tools, and paid time off.
We take proactive steps to find quality sources of construction and distribution labor, and our Friends and Family Referral Program remains a key source for recruiting and retaining insulation installers. This program has been very successful since its launch in 2020, and in 2025 led to the hiring and retention of 580 insulation installers. In addition, we hire directly from the local communities in which our branches operate, and we partner with organizations that help source talent with diverse backgrounds, including organizations in support of veterans, refugees, and trade school students and graduates. In 2025, TopBuild was designated a Military Friendly® employer at the Silver award level.
Voluntary turnover across all employee categories in 2025 was 22%, which is an improvement from our 2024 turnover rate of 24.7% . We attribute our ability to retain employees to our company culture, competitive pay and benefits, and providing employees with meaningful work and a sense of belonging and purpose.
Employee Development
To build a pipeline of leadership talent, we recruit internally and externally into our Manager in Training (MIT) program, which is designed to foster the development of participants into leaders across our Company. The program lasts an average of 16-18 months and participants are supported by our senior leadership team as they are immersed in all aspects of our operations and directly serve and support our customers and suppliers. Upon completion, successful participants are regularly promoted into branch leadership roles within our Company. Participants enter the MIT program on a rolling basis, and we ended 2025 with 22 participants in the program.
In 2025, our Leadership Academy continued to grow, with nearly 100 graduates since the program’s inception. The program features two key leadership courses: Foundations of Leadership and Advanced Leadership Principles. Participants are nominated by the Company’s senior leaders and take part in a 6-month program teaching managerial and leadership skills. The Leadership Academy aligns with TopBuild’s core values and leadership expectations and is designed to promote both personal and organizational growth.
Workforce Diversification
As of December 31, 2025, our employees self-identified as 43.9% Hispanic, 37.1% White, 7.9% Black, 3.9% Other or Multi Race, and 7.2% Undisclosed. Our employees represent a higher racial diversification than both the construction industry average and the total U.S. workforce, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (December 2025). In addition, our workforce self-identifying as female as of December 31, 2025, was 12.7%, which is higher than the U.S. construction industry female workforce of 12.0% as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (December 2025). Our corporate leadership team (managers and above) self-identified as approximately 36.5% female, and of all leaders (managers and above) 28.8% identify as non-white or undisclosed.

*Sums to greater than or less than 100% due to multi-racial reporting.
We acknowledge and are committed to respecting and upholding the human rights and dignity of all individuals within our operations. We have adopted a company-wide Human Rights policy, which is designed to promote a workplace that values and respects the contributions and perspectives of all employees from a variety of backgrounds, skills, and experiences. Company policies, including the Human Rights Policy, are published in the Sustainability section of our website.
Safety
We prioritize a culture of safety that innovates better and safer ways to work, emphasizes best practices, and rewards ongoing improvement in our safety performance. We believe our focus on safety is a key differentiator in our industry, and it is an important indicator in how we measure our Company’s success.
To achieve continuous improvement in safety, we provide our employees with ongoing safety training, information, and programs. Training commences upon employee onboarding and continues with regular sessions delivered throughout the year. All new hires must complete our standard safety curriculum, and we require a minimum number of annual training hours thereafter. We provide training sessions in-person, online or on-demand, with specific training assigned by job and work scope. All safety training programs are available in the employee’s preferred language and attending employees are evaluated for understanding through written, verbal, and skill-based assessments. During 2025, we assigned each of our employees an average of 14.5 hours of safety training.
To align our workforce with our safety goals, a portion of our annual incentive compensation for all eligible employees, including our senior leadership, is tied to our safety performance. While we ultimately strive to have zero incidents, we set an aggressive annual target based on prior year performance as compared against industry average at the company level and for each business segment. Further, our regional Safety Managers audit field locations and our Branch Support Center to assess compliance with our policies and procedures.
We closely monitor injury trends and conduct extensive research to better understand and improve our safety performance. In 2025, our company-wide injury rate was 1.91 and our lost time case rate was 0.76, each of which is significantly below the industry average of 2.9 and 1.2, respectively, as reported by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics for NAICS 23831 (2024). Our incident rates do not include the impact of acquired companies in the year of acquisition.

Community Involvement
TopBuild remains deeply committed to making a positive impact on the communities where our employees live and work. Through long-standing partnerships and employee-driven initiatives, we support programs that deliver meaningful and lasting improvements in these communities:
Habitat for Humanity: Our 2025 Habitat for Humanity Golf Tournament was our most successful to date, raising a total of $1.0 million. Since 2016, TopBuild and its supplier partners have contributed nearly $6.0 million to support Habitat for Humanity’s mission of providing families with safe, affordable housing. In addition to financial donations, our employees donate building materials, volunteer on job sites, and participate in home dedication ceremonies. Together with Habitat, we are helping families build stability and opportunity, one home at a time.
NASCAR Foundation: In 2025, TopBuild served as a primary sponsor of the Foundation’s Speedy Bear Brigade initiative, which delivered 5,000 teddy bears, comfort items, and personalized ‘Get Well Soon’ cards to pediatric patients nationwide, bringing encouragement and comfort during hospital stays.
Payit4ward: Continuing our support of education and youth development, TopBuild remained a Diamond level partner of Payit4ward. In 2025, we sponsored Payit4ward’s 8th annual summer Back to School Event by donating backpacks and sneakers, and our employees joined community volunteers to fill each backpack with essential school supplies, helping thousands of underserved children begin the school year confident and prepared.
Sophie’s Circle: TopBuild employees helped raise $5,000 in 2025 to support Sophie’s Circle in providing food, shelter, and medical care for animals.
Salvation Army: In 2025, our employees purchased holiday gifts for 75 children during the Salvation Army’s annual Angel Tree campaign, along with providing financial support to help the Salvation Army offer humanitarian aid to individuals and families in need throughout the year.
Employee Engagement
Employee feedback and engagement are critical as we continue to foster a positive work environment and employee experience. In addition to new-hire and exit surveys, we invite all employees biennially to participate in an engagement survey administered by a third party. The survey took place in 2025 and 70% of our employees responded, and we are proud that our engagement index score was 85.4% (vs. benchmark of 80%). This represents positive feedback on questions related to pride in our Company, a sense of accomplishment, and an intent to stay. We shared the results of our survey with our employees, leadership at all levels and locations, and with our Board of Directors. While the survey results were positive, we will continue to listen to our employees and prioritize action in areas of improvement identified by the survey respondents.
In 2025, TopBuild was certified as a Great Place to Work® for the third consecutive year.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to various risks and uncertainties which could materially affect our business, results of operations, and future prospects and cause our actual results to differ from past performance or expected results. We urge investors to carefully consider the risk factors described below in evaluating the information contained in this Annual Report.
Risks Which May Be Material to Our Business
Risks Relating to Products, Services, and Supply Chain
Supply chain disruptions may adversely impact our business.
Disruptions in our supply chain may adversely impact our business. We rely on the timely delivery of products and materials from our suppliers to meet customer demand and maintain efficient operations. Any interruption, delay, or shortage in the supply chain could result in increased costs, hinder our ability to fulfill orders or complete projects, and negatively affect our financial performance. Our recent acquisitions have expanded our product and services offerings, increasing our exposure to supply chain risks.
We are dependent on third-party suppliers and manufacturers to provide us with an adequate supply of high-quality products, and the loss of a large supplier or manufacturer could negatively affect our operating results.
If our suppliers are unable to provide an adequate supply of high-quality products on commercially reasonable terms, or fail to comply with applicable legal requirements, our financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. We generally maintain favorable relationships with our suppliers; however, the fiberglass insulation industry has historically experienced periods of both shortage and significant oversupply during various housing market cycles. Such volatility has resulted in fluctuations in prices and allocations of supply, which have impacted our operating results. Notably, supply allocations for fiberglass insulation have persisted for considerable periods in the recent past. While we are not dependent on a single source of supply, we procure the majority of our building products—principally insulation and roofing materials—from a limited number of large suppliers. Accordingly, the loss of a significant supplier, or a material reduction in the availability of products or components from our suppliers for any reason, could materially disrupt our business and have an adverse effect on our operating results.
Our profit margins could decrease due to changes in the costs of the products we install and/or distribute.
The principal building products that we install and distribute have been subject to price changes in the past, some of which have been significant. Our results of operations for individual quarters can be affected by a delay between the time product or material cost increases are implemented and the time we are able to increase prices for our Installation Services or Specialty Distribution services, if at all. Our supplier purchase prices may depend on our purchasing volume or other arrangements with any given supplier. While we have been able to achieve cost savings through volume purchasing or other arrangements with suppliers in the past, we may not be able to consistently continue to receive advantageous pricing for the products we distribute and install. If we are unable to maintain purchase pricing consistent with prior periods or are unable to pass on price increases, our costs could increase and our margins may be adversely affected.
The development of alternatives to distributors in the supply chain could cause a decrease in our sales and operating results and limit our ability to grow our business.
Our Specialty Distribution customers could begin purchasing more of their products directly from manufacturers, which would result in decreases in our net sales and earnings. Our suppliers could invest in infrastructure to expand their own local sales force and sell more products directly to our Specialty Distribution customers, which also would negatively impact our business. In addition, our Specialty Distribution customers could expand their on-site fabrication and customization activities, negatively impacting demand for our value added fabrication services.

Table of Contents
New product innovations or new product introductions could negatively impact our business.
New product innovations or new product introductions could negatively impact demand for the products we install and distribute.
Issues with product quality or performance could negatively impact our business.
Our business depends on high-quality products from manufacturers and other suppliers, and issues with the quality or performance of such products could negatively impact our business. While we are generally indemnified by our manufacturers and suppliers for claims relating to the quality of their products, our business could be negatively impacted by product quality or performance issues, including exposure to warranty claims, legal claims, and regulatory proceedings and damage to our reputation.
We may not be able to identify new products or new product lines and integrate them into our specialty distribution or installation network, which may impact our ability to compete.
Our business depends, in part, on our ability to identify future products and product lines that complement existing products and product lines and that respond to our customers’ needs. We may not be able to compete effectively if our product offerings do not evolve along with trends in the markets in which we compete, or the introduction of new products or technologies, which could cause us to lose market share to competitors and negatively impact our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.
Our expansion into new markets may present distribution, installation, regulatory, and competitive challenges that differ from current ones.
Our expansion into new markets, product lines, or services may present a range of distribution, installation, regulatory, and competitive challenges, potentially diverting management’s attention from our core business. Entering new geographic regions or market segments often involves navigating unfamiliar competitive landscapes, varying customer preferences, and complex regulatory requirements. Additionally, if we are unable to effectively integrate new product lines and services into our specialty distribution or installation network, we may struggle to compete with established local or regional businesses, limiting our sales growth, profitability, and ability to manage and expand both our core and new operations.
Risks Relating to Events Beyond Our Control
A decline in general economic conditions could materially reduce demand for our services or the products that we distribute.
Demand for our products and services is closely tied to the operational activities of our customers and the economic factors that influence them, such as prevailing general economic conditions, the financing environment, and interest rates. When the economy enters a recession or experiences a downturn, our customers are likely to significantly reduce their construction and industrial projects in response to decreased consumer demand, which leads directly to a reduced need for our services and the products we distribute. Additionally, periods when interest rates remain elevated - or are expected or perceived to remain high - can suppress demand within the housing and construction markets we serve and may negatively affect our stock price. Economic and credit market volatility, along with sustained higher interest rates, can make it increasingly difficult for our customers to forecast and plan their business activities. As a result, they may reduce the frequency or volume of their orders for our products and services compared to their typical purchasing patterns. Our business could face significant negative impacts in the event of an economic recession, a slowdown in economic growth, changes in interest rates, or other economic factors that adversely affect the affordability of residential housing or commercial construction projects. While our strategic diversification into more stable, non-cyclical re-roofing and maintenance services helps offset some of these risks, demand for commercial roofing services remains susceptible to these economic influences and could be adversely affected by any of the referenced conditions.
Weather and Seasonal Disruptions may affect our business.
Our operations are sensitive to weather conditions. Adverse events such as hurricanes, snowstorms, and extreme heat can delay or suspend roofing and insulation projects, impact material integrity, and increase costs. Seasonal fluctuations also affect revenue predictability and workforce utilization, particularly in northern regions of our geographic footprint.

Table of Contents
An epidemic, pandemic, or similar serious public health issue (such as COVID-19), and the measures undertaken by government authorities to address it, may cause business and market disruptions, impacting demand for our services or the products we distribute, our ability to provide services, or our results of operations or financial condition.
The spread of highly infectious or contagious diseases (such as COVID-19) could cause quarantines, business shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, and overall economic and financial market instability, all of which may impact general economic conditions or consumer confidence. To the extent that economic activity, business conditions, and the industries in which we operate deteriorate as a result of such disruptions, we would expect to experience an adverse impact on demand for our services and the products we distribute, our ability to provide services, or our results of operations or financial condition.
Our business may be adversely affected by economic, political and social conditions and events in North America or other regions where we may not operate.
We operate primarily in North America but also supply projects in other parts of the world and have suppliers and customers that have operations outside of North America. Our business is subject to risks arising from economic, political, and social conditions and events in any of these regions, such as recessions, inflation, deflation, currency fluctuations, trade disputes, wars, terrorist attacks, pandemics, natural disasters, and other crises. These conditions and events may affect the demand for our services and products, the availability and cost of materials and labor, the financial condition and creditworthiness of our customers and suppliers, the stability and regulation of financial markets, the ability to raise capital, the enforcement of contractual obligations, the protection of intellectual property rights, and the conduct of business operations. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Risks Relating to Human Capital
Labor Availability and Workforce Challenges
The insulation installation and commercial roofing industries face persistent labor shortages, particularly in skilled trades. TopBuild’s ability to recruit and retain qualified tradespeople and laborers is critical to maintaining project timelines and service quality. An aging workforce, limited vocational training pipelines, and other constraints on labor availability further exacerbate these challenges, potentially increasing labor costs and reducing productivity across our branch network. Increased immigration enforcement actions, including audits, workplace raids, and enhanced verification requirements, may pose risks to our business operations. Heightened enforcement efforts can result in labor shortages if employees are found to be ineligible for employment or if potential candidates are deterred from seeking work. Such actions may also lead to reputational harm, increased compliance costs, and potential fines or penalties should any violations be identified. Moreover, evolving federal, state, and local immigration policies and enforcement priorities could disrupt our workforce availability and operational continuity, potentially having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The long-term performance of our businesses relies on our ability to attract, develop, and retain talented personnel while controlling our labor costs.
We are highly dependent on the skills and experience of our senior management team and other skilled and experienced personnel. The failure to attract and retain key employees could negatively affect our competitive position and operating results.
Our business performance is significantly influenced by the effectiveness of our branch managers and sales personnel, including those from recently acquired businesses. The ability to manage labor costs and attract qualified workers is affected by various external factors, such as prevailing wage rates, overall labor market conditions, demand for our services, and changes in legislation or regulations related to wages, hours, labor relations, immigration, healthcare benefits, and insurance costs. We face substantial competition in recruiting and retaining skilled installers, roofers, truck drivers, warehouse workers, and other laborers, particularly given current labor market constraints. To support job satisfaction and performance, we dedicate considerable resources to training and motivating our workforce. However, these roles tend to experience high turnover, which increases our training and retention expenses. If we are unable to hire qualified personnel on competitive terms, we may not be able to satisfy customer demand, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Table of Contents
Changes in employment and immigration laws and regulations may adversely affect our business.
Our operations are subject to numerous federal and state labor laws and regulations that govern our relationship with employees and directly affect operating costs. These include requirements related to employee classification for overtime, workers’ compensation, immigration status, health benefits, tax reporting, payroll taxes, wage and benefit standards, and enforcement of non-competition agreements. Changes in wage and hour laws, minimum wage, overtime pay, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements, and vaccination or testing mandates in response to health concerns may significantly increase our operating costs. Substantial government-imposed increases in these areas could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Additionally, evolving federal and state immigration laws and enforcement programs may increase our compliance obligations, complicate the hiring process, or cause labor shortages, leading to higher costs and reduced availability of potential employees. While we verify employment eligibility for all employees—including participation in the “E-Verify” program where required—these measures do not guarantee the identification of all unauthorized workers. The presence of unauthorized employees may expose us to fines, penalties, adverse publicity, and increased difficulty in hiring and retaining qualified personnel, potentially disrupting our operations. Furthermore, changes to immigration laws affecting other construction trades could lengthen the construction cycle or intensify competition for labor, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Union organizing activity and work stoppages could delay or reduce the availability of products that we install and increase our costs.
As of December 31, 2025, 596 of our employees were covered by 40 collective bargaining agreements that expire on various dates through 2029. Our inability to successfully negotiate collective bargaining agreements may lead to strikes or other work stoppages, and the terms of new agreements could increase our operating costs. Any such labor disruptions, or the unionization of additional employee groups, could result in operational interruptions and higher labor expenses. These risks could be heightened if future legislation or regulations facilitate unionization among our workforce. Additionally, some of our suppliers employ unionized workers, and certain products we install or distribute are transported by unionized drivers. Strikes, work stoppages, or slowdowns affecting these suppliers or transportation providers could lead to delays or interruptions in the manufacturing or delivery of products we rely on, thereby reducing product availability and increasing our costs.
Our business relies significantly on the expertise of our employees and we generally do not have intellectual property that is protected by patents.
Our business is significantly dependent upon our expertise in installation and distribution logistics, and the application of building science. We rely on a combination of trade secrets and contractual confidentiality provisions and, to a much lesser extent, copyrights and trademarks, to protect our proprietary rights. Accordingly, our intellectual property is more vulnerable than it would be if it were protected primarily by patents. We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our proprietary rights, and in the event a misappropriation or breach of our proprietary rights occurs, our competitive position in the market may be harmed. In addition, competitors may develop competing technologies and expertise that renders our expertise obsolete or less valuable.
Risks Relating to Mergers and Acquisitions
We may not be successful in identifying and making acquisitions.
We have made, and in the future may continue to make, strategic acquisitions as part of our growth strategy. We may be unable to make accretive acquisitions or realize expected benefits of any acquisitions for any number of reasons including, but not limited to:
| • | failure to identify attractive targets in the marketplace; |
| • | increased competition for attractive targets; |
16
Table of Contents
| • | incorrect assumptions regarding the future results of acquired operations or assets, expected cost reductions, or other synergies expected to be realized as a result of acquiring operations or assets; |
| • | failure to obtain acceptable financing or required clearance or approvals; or |
| • | restrictions in our debt agreements. |
Acquisition integrations involve risks that could negatively affect our operating results, cash flows, and liquidity.
Our ability to successfully implement our business plan and achieve targeted financial results is dependent on our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses. The process of integrating acquired businesses, may expose us to operational challenges and risks, including, but not limited to:
| • | the ability to profitably manage acquired businesses or successfully integrate the acquired business’ operations, financial reporting, and accounting control systems into our business; |
| • | the expense of integrating acquired businesses; |
| • | increased indebtedness; |
| • | the loss of employees, suppliers, customers or other significant business partners of acquired businesses; |
| • | potential impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets; |
| • | risks associated with the internal controls and accounting policies of acquired businesses; |
| • | diversion of management’s attention due to the increase in the size of our business; |
| • | the ability to fund cash flow shortages that may occur if anticipated revenue is not realized or is delayed, whether by general economic or market conditions, or unforeseen internal or external difficulties; |
| • | the availability of funding sufficient to meet increased capital needs; |
| • | difficulties in the assimilation of different corporate cultures and business practices; |
| • | the inability to retain vital employees or hire qualified personnel required for expanded operations; |
| • | failure to identify all known and contingent liabilities during due diligence investigations; and |
| • | the insufficiency of indemnification granted to us by sellers of acquired companies. |
Failure to successfully integrate any acquired business may result in reduced levels of revenue, earnings, or operating efficiency than might have been achieved if we had not acquired such business. In addition, our past acquisitions’ results, and any future acquisitions could result in the incurrence of additional debt and related interest expense, contingent liabilities, and amortization expenses related to intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, and cash flow.
We may not be able to achieve the benefits that we expect to realize as a result of acquisitions. Failure to achieve such benefits could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to realize anticipated cost savings, revenue enhancements, or other synergies from acquisitions, either in the amount or within the time frame that we expect. In addition, the costs of achieving these benefits may be higher than, and the timing may differ from, what we expect. Our ability to realize anticipated cost savings, synergies, and revenue enhancements may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
| • | the use of more cash or other financial resources on integration and implementation activities than we expect; |
| • | unanticipated increases in expenses unrelated to any acquisition, which may offset the expected cost savings and other synergies; |
| • | our inability to eliminate duplicative back office overhead and redundant selling, general, and administrative functions; and |
| • | our inability to avoid labor disruptions in connection with the integration of any acquisition, particularly in connection with any headcount reduction |
While we expect acquisitions to create opportunities to reduce our combined operating costs, these cost savings reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management, and it is possible that our actual results will not reflect these estimates and assumptions within our anticipated timeframe or at all.
If we fail to realize anticipated cost savings, synergies, or revenue enhancements, our financial results may be adversely affected, and we may not generate the cash flow from operations that we anticipate.

Risks Relating to Legal and Regulatory Matters
We operate our business through highly dispersed locations, and as a result our operations may be materially adversely affected by inconsistent local practices, and the operating results of individual branches and centers may vary.
We conduct our operations through a network of widely dispersed locations across the United States and Canada, with executive oversight and centralized services provided by our Branch Support Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. Local branch management is responsible for day-to-day operations and compliance with applicable local laws. Due to our operating structure, coordinating procedures consistently across all locations can be challenging. Additionally, our installation branches and distribution facilities often require substantial oversight and support from headquarters to facilitate their growth. If our corporate strategies and policies are not implemented uniformly at the local or regional level, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Litigation and Liability Exposure
Our business faces substantial liability exposure due to the nature and breadth of our operations, which include roofing and insulation installation, commercial projects, and a network of widely dispersed branches across the United States and Canada. We are subject to a wide array of claims and litigation, including contract disputes, automobile liability and personal injury claims, warranty and construction defect claims, environmental and employment-related matters, tax disputes, claims related to product quality from third-party suppliers, and other proceedings, including class actions. Risks are heightened by job-related hazards, recent acquisitions, and contractual arrangements to indemnify builder and contractor customers. Liability can also arise from periods prior to acquisition, with indemnification from former owners, subject to limitations. Defending these claims may require significant resources, incur substantial legal expenses, and result in adverse judgments or insurance premium increases, all of which can materially impact our financial condition and operating results. While we maintain insurance coverage for certain risks, coverage may be insufficient or, in some cases, not obtained if costs are excessive. We utilize an insurance captive to manage specific exposures, but unforeseen liabilities and inadequate reserves remain ongoing risks.
Claims and litigation could be costly.
From time to time, we are involved in various claims, litigation matters, and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, which may have a material adverse effect on us. These matters include, but are not limited to, contract disputes, personal injury and automobile liability claims, warranty and construction defect claims, environmental and employment-related claims, tax disputes, product quality issues from suppliers, and class actions. We also face potential claims related to job hazards and may be subject to liabilities from acquisitions for periods prior to ownership, with indemnification rights from former owners potentially limited by acquisition agreements and their financial capacity. Our builder and contractor customers may seek indemnification under contractual arrangements for product liability, casualty, negligence, construction defect, breach of contract, and warranty claims. Because we rely on third-party manufacturers and suppliers for most installed and distributed products, we are exposed to risks regarding product quality, as well as potential claims arising from the actions of employees, homebuilders, and subcontractors. Defending such claims and legal proceedings can be costly and time-consuming, regardless of fault or outcome, and prolonged statutes of limitations for construction defect lawsuits may further increase exposure. These matters can negatively impact customer confidence and divert management attention. While we maintain insurance against certain risks, coverage may not be adequate for all losses or liabilities, and we may elect not to insure against certain risks if costs are excessive. Uninsured or underinsured significant accidents, judgments, or claims could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Table of Contents
Use of Insurance Captive to Manage Risk
We utilize a wholly owned insurance captive to manage certain operational risks, including general liability, employer’s liability, automobile liability, and other insurable exposures. The use of this captive affords us enhanced control over claims management and potential cost efficiencies; however, it also subjects us to material financial and operational risks. The captive operates under regulatory oversight and is required to maintain adequate reserves to satisfy potential claims. Should actual claims surpass anticipated levels, or should reserve estimates prove inadequate, we may be compelled to contribute additional capital to the captive, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position. Additionally, changes in insurance regulations or tax laws applicable to captives may affect the viability or cost-effectiveness of this risk management approach. Our reliance on the captive centralizes risk within a single entity, and any operational failure—such as mismanagement of claims or insufficient reinsurance coverage—could result in significant financial exposure. Further, adverse trends in the insurance market, including increased claim severity, may impair the captive’s effectiveness in mitigating risk. While we believe the captive is properly structured and capitalized, there can be no assurance that it will continue to perform as intended or that it will be adequate to address all potential liabilities arising from our operations throughout North America.
Compliance with government regulation and industry standards could impact our operating results.
We are subject to national, state, provincial, and local government regulations, particularly those pertaining to health and safety, including protection of employees and consumers, OSHA safety standards, building codes, and employment laws (including immigration and wage and hour regulations), contractor licensing, data privacy, cybersecurity, and climate and environmental laws and regulations. In addition to complying with current requirements, even more stringent requirements could be imposed in the future by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other government authorities, or by the states and provinces in which we operate. Compliance with these regulations and industry standards is costly and may require us to invest additional resources into our compliance infrastructure, thereby increasing our cost structure. We may also be required to alter our installation and distribution processes, product sourcing, or business practices, which could make recruiting and retaining labor in a tight labor market more challenging. If we do not effectively and timely comply with such regulations and industry standards, our results of operations could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to substantial penalties or other legal liabilities.
We are subject to environmental regulation and potential exposure to environmental liabilities.
We are subject to various federal, state, provincial, and local environmental laws and regulations. Although we believe that we operate our business, including each of our locations and acquired businesses, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and maintain all material permits required under such laws and regulations to operate our business, we may be held liable or incur fines or penalties in connection with such requirements. In addition, environmental laws and regulations, including those related to energy use and climate change, may become more stringent over time, and any future laws and regulations could have a material impact on our operations or require us to incur material additional expenses to comply. We may be subject to environmental claims or liabilities arising from the ownership or operation of acquired businesses for the periods prior to our acquisition. If we are unable to successfully obtain insurance coverage or enforce our indemnification rights against the former owners regarding such liabilities or claims, or if the former owners are unable to satisfy their obligations for any reason, we could be held liable for such liabilities or claims, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in building codes and consumer preferences could affect our ability to market our service offerings and our profitability, and our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flow could be adversely affected.
Our business segments are affected by building codes and shifts in consumer preferences, particularly those emphasizing energy efficiency. Our competitive position is supported, in part, by our capacity to adapt to evolving customer demands and regulatory standards. However, if our installation and distribution services, as well as our expertise in building sciences, do not sufficiently or promptly adjust to such changes, we may lose market share to competitors, which could negatively impact our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows. Additionally, our future growth opportunities may be limited if customer preferences and building codes do not continue to trend toward more energy-efficient solutions, which generally drive increased demand for our offerings.

Risks Relating to the Industries in Which We Operate
Our business relies on residential new construction, commercial construction, and industrial manufacturing activity, and to a lesser extent on residential and commercial repair/remodel, all of which are cyclical.
Demand for our services is inherently cyclical and is highly sensitive to both broad macroeconomic and local economic conditions, many of which are beyond our control. Factors such as consumer confidence, changes in home prices, levels of unemployment and underemployment, trends in income and wage growth, student loan debt burdens, rates of household formation, limitations on mortgage tax deductions, the age and quantity of existing housing stock, as well as the availability and interest rates of home equity loans and mortgages, all influence consumer discretionary spending on residential new construction and repair/remodel activities. Similarly, the commercial and industrial construction markets are impacted by a range of macroeconomic and local factors, including general economic trends, financing costs, credit availability, material pricing, labor rates, vacancy and absorption rates, manufacturing capacity and demand, technological developments, the competitive landscape (both foreign and domestic), zoning and building code regulations, and import/export activity. Any changes in, or uncertainty regarding, these or similar factors may adversely affect our operating results and financial position.
We face significant competition, and increased competitive pressure may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The specialty distribution and installation market for building products and materials is highly fragmented and intensely competitive, with relatively low barriers to entry. Our Installation Services segment competes with national, regional, and local contractors, often facing many or all of these competitors on each project for which we submit a bid. In our Specialty Distribution segment, we compete with numerous specialty insulation distributors operating at the national, regional, and local levels, as well as broad-line distributors offering similar products. In certain instances, our Specialty Distribution business supplies products to companies that may also compete directly with our installation services. Additionally, we face competition from broad-line building products distributors, big box retailers, insulation manufacturers, and mechanical insulation fabricators. Beyond pricing, competition in our industry is largely driven by established customer relationships, quality of customer service, and the reliability and timeliness of both installation and product delivery in each local market. Furthermore, if increased demand results in higher prices for the products we sell and install, the fragmented and competitive nature of our industry may limit our ability to pass along these price increases to customers in a timely manner, or at all.
Our business is seasonal and is susceptible to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters. We also may be adversely affected by any natural or man-made disruptions to our facilities.
Our Installation Services segment and building insulation sales within our Specialty Distribution segment typically experience higher sales volumes during the second and third calendar quarters, which align with the peak periods for residential new construction and residential repair and remodel activities. Conversely, sales generally decline during the winter months due to reduced construction activity. Historically, there has been a lag of several months between housing starts and the installation of insulation. Our business may also be negatively impacted by hurricanes, severe storms, earthquakes, droughts, floods, fires, or other natural disasters occurring in the geographic regions where we operate. In addition, any significant disruption to our facilities resulting from a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other causes could materially impair our ability to provide installation and distribution services to our customers.
We are subject to competitive pricing pressure from our customers.
Residential homebuilders historically have exerted significant pressure on their outside suppliers to keep prices low in the highly fragmented building products and materials supply and services industry. Similarly, contractors serving the construction industry and industrial customers exert pressure on our Specialty Distribution pricing. Further, consolidation among homebuilders and changes in homebuilders’ and contractors’ purchasing policies or payment practices could result in additional pricing pressure. In addition, our commercial roofing installation business is subject to significant pricing pressure from customers, as contractors and industrial clients often demand competitive rates in a highly fragmented market, which can limit our ability to pass on cost increases and may adversely affect our margins and operating results.

Insurance and Bonding Constraints
We maintain a variety of insurance policies and surety bonds, as well as an insurance captive, as part of our risk management strategy to mitigate operational, financial, and legal exposures inherent in our business. Our insurance captive is designed to provide supplemental coverage and manage certain risks that may not be adequately addressed by traditional insurance markets. Despite these measures, we remain subject to significant risks related to insurance and bonding. An increase in claims activity, whether due to adverse events, litigation, or other factors, may result in higher premiums, increased deductibles, reduced coverage limits, or exclusions for specific risks, for both externally placed policies and those managed through our captive. Additionally, changes in the insurance marketplace, such as tightening underwriting standards or reduced insurer capacity, could make it more difficult or costly for us to renew existing policies or obtain coverage for new or emerging risks. Our ability to secure surety bonds—which are essential for bidding on and executing large-scale commercial and industrial projects—may be adversely affected by changes in our financial position, claims history, or shifts in the bonding market. If we are unable to maintain adequate coverage through a combination of commercial insurance, captive insurance, and required bonding, we could be exposed to significant financial losses, contract penalties, or be precluded from participating in certain projects. Given our broad geographic footprint and diverse range of services, these insurance and bonding risks are heightened, and any material reduction in coverage, or inability to obtain sufficient bonding, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Risks Relating to Our Operations Outside of the United States
We face risks relating to our operations outside of the United States.
Some of our operations take place outside the United States. This exposes us to a variety of risks that could have a significant negative impact on our financial condition and operating results. Our international activities are subject to inherent challenges, including: political and economic instability, government-imposed controls or expropriation, shifts in regulations, export rules and trade restrictions, limitations on repatriating earnings, currency controls, exchange rate fluctuations, higher duties, tariffs, and taxes, inflation or deflation, difficulty collecting payments and longer payment cycles, changing labor conditions, staffing challenges, complexities in overseeing foreign operations, limited insurance coverage for geopolitical or operational risks, natural disasters, and communication barriers between management and our international teams. We also encounter different legal standards abroad, including those governing intellectual property, data privacy, health and safety, and construction practices. Additionally, these factors may place us at a disadvantage when competing with local businesses in foreign markets.
FCPA Risk
We are subject to risks related to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and similar legislation in jurisdictions where we operate. These laws generally prohibit companies and their affiliates from offering, authorizing, or providing anything of value to government officials or other parties in order to improperly obtain or retain business or secure an improper advantage. Our Code of Business Ethics requires strict adherence to all relevant anti-bribery and anti-corruption regulations. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that our internal controls, compliance programs, and procedures will be effective at all times in preventing violations by our employees, agents, or third-party representatives. Any actual or alleged violation of the FCPA or similar anti-bribery laws—whether resulting from our actions or those of others acting on our behalf—may subject us to criminal or civil investigations, significant fines, penalties, reputational harm, or other sanctions. Such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
We transact business outside of the United States. We present our Consolidated Financial Statements in U.S. dollars, but a portion of our revenues and expenditures are transacted in other currencies. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. Additionally, we may have currency exposure arising from funds held in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Volatility in the exchange rates between the foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar could materially harm our business, financial condition, or operating results.

Risks Relating to Information Technology and Cybersecurity
We rely on information technology systems, and in the event of a disruption or security incident, we could experience problems operating our business and incur substantial costs to address resulting issues.
Our business operations rely on information technology systems, including those managed by third-party vendors outside of our direct control, to process customer orders, coordinate installation and specialty distribution activities, and manage invoicing and related functions. Any disruption or malfunction in these systems could result in delays in order receipt, supplier communications, production scheduling, service delivery, shipments, billing, or collections. A significant failure of our information technology infrastructure, or that of key customers and suppliers, could adversely affect our revenues, harm our reputation, and subject us to legal liabilities and substantial costs associated with remediation and addressing related operational or security concerns. Furthermore, delays or challenges in integrating acquired companies into our information technology and cybersecurity platforms may heighten our exposure to cyber threats, including data breaches, operational interruptions, and compliance risks, any of which could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In the event of a cyber incident, we could experience operational interruptions, incur substantial additional costs, become subject to legal or regulatory proceedings or suffer damage to our reputation.
In addition to possible disruptions from interruptions in our information technology systems, we face risks from cyber threats and targeted cyberattacks. Although we have implemented security policies, procedures, and defenses to help detect and protect against unauthorized access, misappropriation, or corruption of our systems and potential operational disruptions, these measures may not always be effective. Our information technology systems could be compromised, damaged, or rendered inoperable by unauthorized access, malicious software, computer viruses, undetected intrusions, hardware failures, or other unforeseen events. In such cases, our disaster recovery plans may not adequately restore operations. A successful breach or intrusion could result in business interruptions, loss or exposure of confidential information, data corruption, reputational harm, legal or regulatory actions, and increased costs, any of which could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We regularly monitor and test our information technology systems to identify and address potential threats; however, there is no assurance that these efforts will prevent a security breach that could adversely impact our business. Additionally, our business could be harmed if significant customers or suppliers experience similar events that disrupt their operations or damage their reputations.
Risks Relating to Liquidity and Our Ability to Finance Our Operations
If we are required to take significant non-cash charges, our financial resources could be reduced, and our financial flexibility may be negatively affected.
We carry substantial amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets on our balance sheet, primarily resulting from business combinations. The valuation of these assets is largely determined by our expectations regarding the future performance of our operations. Changes in anticipated growth within residential new construction, commercial and industrial construction, residential repair and remodeling, commercial roofing or re-roofing, and the utilization of industrial facilities could require us to recognize non-cash, pretax impairment charges related to goodwill, other indefinite-lived intangible assets, or other long-lived assets. Should impairments occur to the value of our goodwill, intangible assets, or long-lived assets, our earnings and shareholders’ equity would be negatively impacted, which may also affect our ability to raise capital in the future.
22
Table of Contents
We may have future capital needs and may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms.
Our capital needs will be influenced by a variety of factors, such as trends within our industry and markets, our success in completing business combinations, and the expansion of our current operations. To support our growth and execute our business strategy, we expect that additional funding may be necessary. However, economic and credit market conditions, the overall performance of the construction industry, our financial results, and other factors—many of which are outside our control—could restrict our access to financing. Our ability to obtain additional financing and meet our financial obligations will depend on our operating results, the availability of credit, the state of the economy, and other business and financial factors. If financing is available, the terms may not be favorable and could be affected by changes in interest rates and capital market conditions. Without sufficient capital, we may be unable to fully carry out our business strategy, which could negatively impact our operations, results, and financial condition.
Our indebtedness and restrictions in our existing credit facility, senior notes or any other indebtedness we may incur in the future, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to make distributions to shareholders, and the value of our common stock.
Our indebtedness could have significant consequences on our future operations, including but not limited to:
| • | making it more difficult for us to meet our payment and other obligations; |
| • | reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or strategic investments and other general corporate requirements, and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes; |
| • | subjecting us to increased interest expense related to our indebtedness with variable interest rates, including borrowings under our credit facility; |
| • | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to changes in our business, the industry in which we operate and the general economy; and |
| • | placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged. |
Any of the above-listed factors could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or ability to meet our payment obligations. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations, we may need to refinance or restructure our debt, sell certain assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital, and some of these activities may be on terms that are unfavorable or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. If we are unable to implement one or more of these alternatives, we may not be able to meet our payment obligations.
Our existing term loan, revolving credit facility and the indentures governing our senior notes limit, and any future credit facility or other indebtedness we enter into may limit our ability to, among other things:
| • | incur or guarantee additional debt; |
| • | make distributions or dividends on, or redeem or repurchase shares of our common stock; |
| • | make certain investments, acquisitions, or otherwise restrict payments; |
| • | incur certain liens or permit them to exist; |
| • | acquire, merge, or consolidate with another company; and |
| • | transfer, sell, or otherwise dispose of substantially all, or a material portion of our assets. |
Our revolving credit facility contains, and any future credit facility or other debt instrument we may enter into will also likely contain, covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios and meet certain tests, such as an interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. Our ability to comply with those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may not be able to comply with those ratios and tests when required to do so under the applicable debt instruments. For additional information regarding our outstanding debt see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 6. Long-Term Debt.

Adverse credit ratings could increase our costs of borrowing money and limit our access to capital markets and commercial credit.
Moody’s Investor Service and Standard & Poor’s routinely evaluate our credit ratings related to our senior notes. If these rating agencies downgrade any of our current credit ratings, our borrowing costs could increase and our access to the capital and commercial credit markets could be adversely affected.
In connection with the Separation, Masco indemnified us for certain liabilities, and we indemnified Masco for certain liabilities. If we are required to act under these indemnities to Masco, we may need to divert cash to meet those obligations, which could adversely affect our financial results. Moreover, the Masco indemnity may not be sufficient to compensate us for the full amount of liabilities for which it may be liable, and Masco may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations to us in the future.
Indemnities that we may be required to provide Masco are not subject to any cap, may be significant, and could negatively affect our business, particularly indemnities relating to our actions that could affect the tax-free nature of the Separation. Third parties could also seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that Masco has agreed to retain, and under certain circumstances, we may be subject to continuing contingent liabilities of Masco following the Separation, such as certain shareholder litigation claims. Further, Masco may not be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations, or such indemnity obligations may not be sufficient to cover our liabilities. Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from Masco any amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses ourselves. Each of these risks could negatively affect our business, results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition.
Compliance with and changes in tax laws could adversely affect our performance.
We are subject to extensive tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions including income taxes, payroll taxes, franchise taxes, withholding taxes, ad valorem taxes, and indirect taxes which include excise and duty, sales and use, and gross receipts taxes. New tax laws and regulations, and changes in existing tax laws and regulations, are continuously being enacted or proposed which could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. Many of these liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authority. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities as a result of these audits may subject us to interest and penalties.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
The price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially, and the value of your investment may decline.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly due to any number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
| • | fluctuations in our quarterly or annual earnings results, or those of other companies in our industries; |
| • | failures of our operating results to meet our published guidance, the estimates of securities analysts or the expectations of our shareholders, or changes by securities analysts in their estimates of our future earnings; |
| • | announcements by us or our customers, suppliers, or competitors; |
| • | changes in laws or regulations which adversely affect our industry or us; |
| • | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles; |
| • | general economic, industry, and stock market conditions; |
| • | future sales of our common stock by our shareholders; |
| • | future issuances of our common stock by us; and |
| • | other factors described in these “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. |

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and certain provisions of Delaware law, could delay or prevent a change in control.
The existence of some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control that a shareholder may consider favorable. These include provisions:
| • | authorizing a large number of shares of stock that are not yet issued, which could have the effect of preventing or delaying a change in control if our board of directors issued shares to persons that did not support such change in control, or which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control; and |
| • | prohibiting shareholders from calling special meetings of shareholders or taking action by written consent. |
In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that could have resulted in a premium over the market price for shares of our common stock.
These provisions apply even if a takeover offer is considered beneficial by some shareholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our board of directors determines is not in our and our shareholders’ best interests.
Our bylaws designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a preferred judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees.
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or other employee to us or our shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation (including any certificate of designations for any class or series of our preferred stock), or our bylaws, in each case, as amended from time to time, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (provided, however, that in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over such proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware), in all cases subject to the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock is deemed to have received notice of, and consented to, the foregoing provision. This forum selection provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable or cost effective for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and employees.

Item 1C. CYBER RISK MANAGEMENT, STRATEGY AND GOVERNANCE
Cyber Risk Management Program
We recognize the importance of maintaining the integrity of our information technology systems and safeguarding the confidential business and personal information we receive and store about our employees, customers and suppliers. We have a cyber risk management program in place to identify, assess, and manage risks from cyber threats. Our cyber risk management program is structured to implement industry best practices throughout our operations and functions, including threat monitoring and analysis, vulnerability assessments, and management of third-party cyber risks. The program also encompasses detection and response to cyberattacks and data breaches, crisis preparedness, incident response planning, business continuity and disaster recovery, as well as ongoing investments in cybersecurity infrastructure and program enhancements. Among the key features of our program are:

Table of Contents
| • | Ongoing engagement of consultants, advisors, service providers, and other third parties to help test, develop, and advise on the management of our cyber risk program; |
| • | Periodic independent, third-party reviews of our program and its maturity based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework; |
| • | Strategic engagements of consulting firms and legal advisors to advise the Board and our executive officers regarding the structure and oversight of our cyber risk management program, cyber strategy framework evolution, risk-based assessments, and cyber technology; |
| • | Consulting with external advisors and specialists on specific projects regarding opportunities and enhancements to strengthen our cyber practices and policies on an as needed basis; |
| • | Periodic review of SOC1 and SOC2 external audit reports submitted by our strategic third-party technology suppliers; |
| • | Ongoing cybersecurity training for employees coupled with periodic vulnerability testing; and |
| • | Periodic testing of incident response procedures. |
Our cyber risk management program includes technology and processes designed to maintain active security of our information technology systems. We have not experienced a material cyber breach in the last three years. We do not believe that any risks from cyber threats of which we are currently aware, including as a result of any previous cyber incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, despite our security measures, there is no assurance that we, or the third parties with which we interact,

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The financial and business analysis below provides information which we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. This financial and business analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes.
In this section, we generally discuss the results of our operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. For a discussion of the year ended December 31, 2024, to the year ended December 31, 2023, please refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025, which discussion is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Executive Summary
We are a leading installer of insulation and commercial roofing and a specialty distributor of insulation and other building products to the construction industry in the United States and Canada. Demand for our products and services is driven primarily by residential and commercial/industrial construction and by industrial manufacturing activity. A number of local and national factors influence activity in each of our lines of business, including demographic trends, interest rates, employment levels, business investment, supply and demand for housing, availability of credit, foreclosure rates, consumer confidence, and general economic conditions.
The core of our business is inherently environmentally friendly. Our insulation and commercial roofing installation services and our distributed products drive thermal efficiency, lower energy usage, and reduce carbon emissions. We are a leader in delivering these benefits for new and existing homes and commercial/industrial facilities across the United States and Canada.
Strategy
We are committed to creating long-term value for all stakeholders – employees, customers, suppliers, and investors. Our team is focused on driving operational efficiencies and sharing best practices throughout our organization. Our core values include:
| • | Safety – We put the safety of our people first. |
| • | Integrity – We deliver results with integrity, respect, and accountability. |
| • | Focus – We are customer-focused, grounded in strong relationships. |
| • | Innovation – We are continuously improving and encourage idea sharing. |
| • | Unity – We are united as one team, valuing diversity. |
| • | Community – We make a difference in the communities we serve. |
| • | Empowerment – We are empowered to be our best, individually and as a team. |
Our strategy is focused on growth and productivity including:
| • | Attracting and retaining top talent by fostering a culture of respect, local empowerment and entrepreneurship; |
| • | Improving operational excellence by leveraging technology to drive productivity and efficiency; and |
| • | Driving profitable growth by expanding our market presence organically and through acquisitions. |
Our operating results depend on residential new construction activity, commercial construction activity and industrial manufacturing activity, all of which are subject to business and economic cycles. These cycles have less of an impact on our Specialty Distribution segment due to the repair and replacement component of our mechanical insulation distribution business. In addition, within our Installation Services segment, our commercial roofing services include re-roofing and maintenance, which are not tied to new construction. We are also dependent on third-party suppliers and manufacturers providing us with an adequate supply of high-quality products.

Recent Developments
Throughout 2025, the U.S. government announced tariffs and trade restrictions on certain goods produced outside the United States. As a result, certain jurisdictions, including China, Mexico, Canada, and the European Union, also imposed tariffs and restrictions on certain goods produced in the United States. While we have a limited number of products that we purchase directly or indirectly from jurisdictions exposed to effected or proposed tariffs, such products represent a relatively small portion of our current material spend and we believe the direct impact for our business is minimal. We actively work with our supply base to mitigate the anticipated impact of current applicable tariffs and evaluate pricing actions to the extent we believe necessary or appropriate. The potential direct and indirect impacts of tariffs on the broad economy and, in particular, housing demand, are uncertain and we continue to closely monitor and evaluate the ongoing situation.
Material Trends in Our Business
Residential New Construction
Demand for single-family homes in 2025 weakened throughout the year and continues to be uneven across the country. Multi-family starts have slowly started to improve in certain geographies. We expect our multi-family sales will continue to be slow as we move into 2026. Multi-family housing units typically require approximately 40% of the insulation that a single-family unit requires. While the residential end-markets are facing near-term uncertainty due to affordability concerns, interest rates, and overall consumer confidence, we remain optimistic about the longer-term fundamentals due to underbuilding in the United States in prior years.
Commercial and Industrial Construction
Our heavy commercial and industrial backlog is strong, our bidding activity is active, and our acquisitions of Progressive and SPI in 2025 all continue to support our positive view of commercial/industrial sales at our Installation Services and Specialty Distribution segments. We remain optimistic that declining interest rates in the future will continue to unlock projects across many industries. In addition, recurring maintenance and repair work on commercial and industrial sites serves as a continued driver for our business.
Seasonality
Sales across our end markets are typically slower during the winter months due to lower construction activity.
Results of Operations
We report our financial results in conformity with GAAP.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024
Sales and Operations
Net sales for 2025 increased 1.5 percent, or $79.3 million, to $5.4 billion. The increase was driven by an 8.8 percent increase in sales from acquisitions, and a 0.8 percent impact from higher selling prices, partially offset by an 8.1 percent decline in volume.
Our gross profit margins were 29.0 percent and 30.5 percent for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decline in gross profit margin is primarily due to lower sales volume, and customer price pressures on residential products within our distribution business. In addition, we incurred $12.5 million of one-time expenses in connection with our branch consolidations and headcount reductions and $11.4 million amortization of inventory step-up related to purchase accounting. These impacts were partially offset by savings from branch consolidations and headcount reductions.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 14.4 percent and 13.9 percent for 2025 and 2024, respectively. Increase in the percentage of sales during 2025 is due to incremental selling, general, and administrative expenses from acquisitions, including intangible amortization, and acquisition-related transaction costs.
Operating margins were 14.6 percent and 16.6 percent for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in operating margins was due to lower sales volume, and customer price pressures on residential products within our distribution business along with $14.5 million of one-time expenses in connection with our branch consolidations and headcount reductions, and $11.4 million amortization of inventory step-up related to purchase accounting for SPI. In addition, we incurred incremental selling, general, and administrative expenses from acquisitions, including amortization, and acquisition-related transaction costs, partially offset by savings from these branch consolidations and headcount reductions.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net, increased $42.8 million to $88.4 million in 2025 from $45.6 million in 2024. The increase is primarily driven by higher interest expense of $30.7 million from Amendment No. 5 and issuance of 5.625% Senior Notes, along with $12.6 million lower interest income due to lower average levels of invested cash balances throughout the year.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate decreased from 26.0 percent in 2024 to 25.8 percent in 2025. The lower 2025 rate was primarily related to state tax adjustments.

2025 and 2024 Business Segment Results Discussion
Changes in operating profit margins in the following business segment results discussion exclude general corporate expense, net in 2025 and 2024, as applicable.
Installation Services
Sales
Sales decreased $111.8 million, or 3.4 percent, in 2025 compared to 2024. Sales decreased 11.2 percent from lower sales volume, partially offset by an increase of 7.6 percent from our acquisitions and 0.2 percent from higher selling prices.
Operating Results
Operating margins in the Installation Services segment were 18.5 percent and 19.7 percent for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in operating margin is primarily due to lower sales volume, higher acquisition-related amortization, and one-time expenses incurred in connection with our branch consolidations and headcount reductions, but was partially offset by the savings generated by the cost reduction actions taken in the first quarter of 2025.
Specialty Distribution
Sales
Sales increased $182.5 million, or 7.8 percent, in 2025 compared to 2024. Sales increased 9.4 percent from our acquisitions and 1.4 percent from higher selling prices, partially offset by 3.0 percent lower sales volume.

Operating Results
Operating margins in the Specialty Distribution segment were 12.8 percent and 15.1 percent for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in operating margin is primarily due to one-time expenses incurred in connection with our branch consolidations, lower sales volume, and price pressures on residential products, but was partially offset by the savings generated by the cost reduction actions taken in the first quarter of 2025. In addition, we incurred $11.4 million amortization of inventory step-up related to purchase accounting in connection with our acquisition of SPI.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to certain claims, charges, litigation, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters, and we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on us. For additional information see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 11. Other Commitments and Contingencies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have access to liquidity through our cash from operations and available borrowing capacity under Amendment No. 5, which provides for borrowing and/or standby letter of credit issuances of up to $1.0 billion under the revolving facility. For additional information regarding our outstanding debt and borrowing capacity see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 6. Long-Term Debt.

We also have adequate liquidity to maintain off-balance sheet arrangements for short-term leases, letters of credit, and performance and license bonds. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report for related disclosures.
We use performance bonds to ensure completion of our work on certain larger customer contracts that can span multiple accounting periods. Performance bonds generally do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are released from the bonds as the contractual performance is completed. We also have bonds outstanding for license and insurance.

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | (215,576) | | $ | (448,247) |
Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024. Net income decreased $100.9 million, or 16.2 percent, compared with the prior year period, driven by lower sales volume and acquisition-related expenses. The decline in net income was partially offset by decreases in working capital accounts, specifically in accounts receivable and inventory, leading to less cash used in operations compared to the prior year.
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily comprised of $1.9 billion for acquisitions and $59.4 million for purchases of property and equipment (primarily vehicles, equipment and computer hardware and software). Net cash used in investing activities was $203.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily comprised of $136.8 million for acquisitions and $69.3 million for purchases of property and equipment (primarily vehicles, equipment and computer hardware and software). Those uses were partially offset by $2.6 million of proceeds received from the sale of assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we refinanced our Term Loan, drew on our delayed draw term loan, and issued our 5.625% Senior Notes. These activities generated a total of $2.0 billion in long-term debt issuance, offset by repayment of $515.6 million principal, including normal quarterly payments, and one-time payments of $17.4 million in related debt issuance costs. Additionally, we borrowed and repaid $178.0 million on our revolving facility, all within the fourth quarter of 2025. We also used $434.2 million for the repurchase of our common stock, paid $9.4 million of excise taxes on share repurchases, repaid $3.6 million in principal on finance lease obligations, and incurred $3.0 million net cash outflow related to exercise of share-based incentive awards and stock options. Net cash used in financing activities was $1.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we used $966.4 million for the repurchase of common stock, $47.0 million for debt repayments, and $2.9 million net activity related to exercise of share-based incentive awards and stock options.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of assets and liabilities, and any related contingencies, at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. However, certain of our accounting policies considered critical are those we believe are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results and require our most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. We consider the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition and Receivables
Revenue is disaggregated between our Installation Services and Specialty Distribution segments. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by segment is included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 8. Segment Information. We recognize revenue for our Installation Services segment over time as the related performance obligation is satisfied with respect to each particular order within a given customer’s contract. Progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured using a cost-to-cost measure of progress method. The cost input is based on the amount of material installed at that customer’s location and the associated labor costs, as compared to the total expected cost for the particular order. The total expected cost is an estimate in the revenue recognition process, requires judgment, and is subject to variability throughout the duration of the contract as a result of contract modifications and other circumstances impacting job completion. Generally, this results in revenue being recognized as the customer is able to receive and utilize the benefits provided by our services. Each contract contains one or more individual orders, which are based on services delivered. When material and installation services are bundled in a contract, we combine these items into one performance obligation as the overall promise is to transfer the combined item.
Revenue from our Specialty Distribution segment is recognized when title to products and risk of loss transfers to our customers. This represents the point in time when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits from the product. The determination of when control is deemed transferred depends on the delivery terms that are agreed upon in the contract.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive based on the arrangement with the customer. The duration of our residential contracts with customers is relatively short, generally less than a 90-day period, whereas our commercial projects often span multiple quarters. There is not a significant financing component in either residential or commercial projects when considering the determination of the transaction price which gets allocated to the individual performance obligations, generally based on standalone selling prices. Additionally, we consider shipping costs charged to a customer as a fulfillment cost rather than a promised service and expense as incurred. Sales taxes, when incurred, are recorded as a liability and excluded from revenue on a net basis.
We record a contract asset when we have satisfied our performance obligation prior to billing and a contract liability when a customer payment is received prior to the satisfaction of our performance obligation. The difference between the beginning and ending balances of our contract assets and liabilities primarily results from the timing of our performance and the customers’ payment. See Note 3 – Revenue Recognition for more information.
We maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. In addition, we monitor our customer receivable balances and the credit worthiness of our customers on an on-going basis. During downturns in our markets, declines in the financial condition and creditworthiness of customers impact the credit risk of the receivables involved and we have incurred additional bad debt expense related to customer defaults.
Business Combinations
The purchase price for business combinations is allocated to the estimated fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities, where applicable. Additionally, we recognize customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, and non-compete agreements as identifiable intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value as of the transaction date. The fair value of the customer relationships intangible assets are determined by management using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. Assumptions used in determining the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset include forecasted revenue growth rate, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins, customer attrition rate, discount rate and contributory asset charges, which are Level 3 inputs. The fair value of other intangible assets is determined primarily using current industry information. Goodwill is recorded when consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. Measurement-period adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding offset to goodwill are recorded in the period they occur, which may include up to one year from the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included short-term revenue growth rates, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins, discount rates, customer attrition rates and contributory asset charges.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Prior to the acquisition of Progressive on July 14, 2025, we had two reporting units which were also our operating and reportable segments: Installation and Specialty Distribution. Progressive became its own reporting unit for goodwill testing. Our three reporting units contain goodwill. Our reporting units engage in business activities for which discrete financial information including long range forecasts is available, and we complete the impairment testing of goodwill at this level, as defined by accounting guidance. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the applicable reporting unit based on whether the acquired assets and liabilities relate to the operations of such unit and determination of its fair value. Goodwill assigned to the reporting unit is the excess of the fair value of the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the reporting unit.
We perform our annual impairment testing of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year, or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. When assessing goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. If we conclude otherwise, then no further action is taken. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and only perform a quantitative assessment. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we performed quantitative and qualitative assessments, respectively.
Fair value for our reporting units is determined using a discounted cash flow method and a market multiple approach (with a 50% weighting of each), both which include significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). We believe these methodologies are comparable to what would be used by other market participants. Using the discounted cash flow method requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, including long term projections of cash flows, market conditions, and appropriate discount rates. Our judgments are based on historical experience, current market trends, consultations with external valuation specialists and other information. The market approach includes a comparison of the multiple of a reporting unit's carrying value to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization with the multiples of similar businesses or guideline companies whose securities are actively traded in the public markets. While we believe that the estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation methodologies are reasonable, changes to estimates and assumptions could result in different outcomes. In estimating future cash flows, we rely on internally generated long-range forecasts for sales and operating profits, and a long term assumed annual growth rate of cash flows for periods after the long-range forecast. We generally develop these forecasts based upon, among other things, recent sales data for existing products, and estimated U.S. housing starts.
When necessary, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that a reporting unit’s recorded goodwill exceeds its fair value. In the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024, we performed an assessment on our goodwill and determined that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and therefore the goodwill was not impaired.
We did not recognize any impairment charges for goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. As of December 31, 2025, net goodwill reflected $762.0 million of accumulated impairment losses, relating primarily to impairment charges taken in 2008-2010 following the substantial decrease in U.S. housing starts after the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. We evaluate the remaining useful lives of amortizable identifiable intangible assets at each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization.
Income Taxes
If, based upon all available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not (more than 50 percent likely) deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable. A company’s three-year cumulative loss position is significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable and the accounting guidance restricts the amount of reliance we can place on projected taxable income to support the recovery of deferred tax assets.
37
Table of Contents
While we believe we have adequately assessed for our uncertain tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could vary from our assessment of uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, provisions for tax-related matters, including interest and penalties, could be recorded in income tax expense in the period revised assessments are made. These unrecognized tax positions including associated interest and penalties are not material to our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Additionally, we generally do not provide for taxes related to undistributed earnings as such earnings would not be taxable when remitted or would be considered to be indefinitely reinvested.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements and their expected or actual effect on our reported results of operations are addressed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We have a Term Loan outstanding with a principal balance of $1.2 billion and a revolving facility with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion. We also have outstanding 3.625% Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $400.0 million, 4.125% Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $500.0 million, and 5.625% Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $750.0 million. The 3.625% Senior Notes, 4.125% Senior Notes, and 5.625% Senior Notes bear a fixed rate of interest and therefore are excluded from the calculation below as they are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates.
Interest payable on both the aggregate Term Loan and revolving facility is based on a variable interest rate. As a result, we are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on this outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2025, the applicable interest rate was 4.97%. Based on our outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2025, a 100-basis point increase in the interest rate would result in approximately a $12.0 million increase in our annualized interest expense. There was no outstanding balance under the revolving facility as of December 31, 2025.

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of TopBuild Corp.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TopBuild Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded PR Midco LLC (“Progressive”) and Specialty Products & Insulation (“SPI”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2025. We have also excluded Progressive and SPI from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Progressive and SPI are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent approximately 2% and 5% of total assets, respectively and approximately 4% and 3% of total revenues, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers
As described in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s total consolidated net sales was $5.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company's Specialty Distribution segment recognizes revenue when title to products and risk of loss transfers to customers. This represents the point in time when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits from the product. The determination of when control is deemed transferred depends on the delivery terms that are agreed upon in the contract. The Company's Installation segment recognizes revenue over time as the related performance obligation is satisfied with respect to each particular order within a given customer’s contract. Progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured using a cost-to-cost measure of progress method. The cost input is based on the amount of material installed at that customer’s location and the associated labor costs, as compared to the total expected cost for the order. Generally, this results in revenue from the Installation segment being recognized as the customer is able to receive and utilize the benefits provided by the Company’s services. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive based on the arrangement with the customer.
The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition from contracts with customers is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to the Company's revenue recognition.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the Company’s revenue recognition process. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing revenue recognized for a sample of revenue transactions by obtaining and inspecting source documents such as signed work agreements, purchase orders, contracts and change orders, proof of shipment or receipt, evidence of performance of work, and cash receipts, as applicable, (ii) testing a sample of outstanding customer invoice balances as of December 31, 2025 by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as contracts, proof of shipment or receipt, evidence of performance of work and subsequent cash receipts, as applicable and (iii) evaluating certain revenue transactions by testing the issuance and settlement of invoices and credit memos, tracing transactions not settled to a detailed listing of accounts receivable, and testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management.

Valuation of customer relationships intangible assets - Acquisitions of Progressive and SPI
As described in Notes 1 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 14, 2025 and October 7, 2025, the Company completed the acquisitions of Progressive and SPI for consideration of $818.2 million and $1.0 billion respectively. During 2025, the Company recorded a total of $827 million related to customer relationships, of which a significant portion are related to the Progressive and SPI acquisitions. Fair value of the customer relationships intangible assets is determined by management using a multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. Assumptions used in determining the fair value of customer relationships intangible assets include forecasted revenue growth rates, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins, customer attrition rates, discount rates, and contributory asset charges.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of customer relationships acquired in the acquisitions of Progressive and SPI is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimates of the customer relationships acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, EBITDA margins, and discount rates; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships acquired. These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreements; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates of the customer relationships acquired; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method used by management; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the multi-period excess earnings method; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to forecasted revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, EBITDA margins, and discount rates. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, and customer attrition rates involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the Progressive and SPI businesses; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data and information from prior acquisitions; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method and (ii) the reasonableness of the customer attrition rates, and discount rate assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation. TopBuild is a Delaware corporation and trades on the NYSE under the symbol “BLD.” We report our business in
Financial Statement Presentation. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been developed in conformity with GAAP. All intercompany transactions between the TopBuild entities have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions in the Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is disaggregated between our Installation Services and Specialty Distribution segments. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by segment is included in Note 8 – Segment Information.
We recognize revenue for our Installation Services segment over time as the related performance obligation is satisfied with respect to each particular order within a given customer’s contract. Progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured using a cost-to-cost measure of progress method. The cost input is based on the amount of material installed at that customer’s location and the associated labor costs, as compared to the total expected cost for the particular order. The total expected cost is an estimate in the revenue recognition process which requires judgment and is subject to variability throughout the duration of the contract as a result of contract modifications and other circumstances impacting job completion. Generally, this results in revenue being recognized as the customer is able to receive and utilize the benefits provided by our services. Each contract contains one or more individual orders, which are based on services delivered. When material and installation services are bundled in a contract, we combine these items into one performance obligation as the overall promise is to transfer the combined item.
Revenue from our Specialty Distribution segment is recognized when title to products and risk of loss transfers to our customers. This represents the point in time when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits from the product. The determination of when control is deemed transferred depends on the delivery terms that are agreed upon in the contract.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration we expect to receive based on the arrangement with the customer. The duration of our residential contracts with customers is relatively short, generally less than a 90-day period, whereas our commercial contracts often span multiple quarters. There is not a significant financing component in either residential or commercial projects when considering the determination of the transaction price which gets allocated to the individual performance obligations, generally based on standalone selling prices. Additionally, we consider shipping costs charged to a customer as a fulfillment cost rather than a promised service and expense as incurred. Sales taxes, when incurred, are recorded as a liability and excluded from revenue on a net basis.
We record a contract asset when we have satisfied our performance obligation prior to billing and a contract liability when a customer payment is received prior to the satisfaction of our performance obligation. The difference between the beginning and ending balances of our contract assets and liabilities primarily results from the timing of our performance and the customer’s payment. See Note 3 – Revenue Recognition for more information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Business Combinations. The purchase price for business combinations is allocated to the estimated fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities, where applicable. Additionally, we recognize customer relationships, trademarks and trade names, and non-compete agreements as identifiable intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value as of the transaction date. The fair value of the customer relationships intangible assets are determined by management using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. Assumptions used in determining the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset include forecasted revenue growth rate, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins, customer attrition rate, discount rate and contributory asset charges, which are Level 3 inputs. The fair value of other intangible assets is determined primarily using current industry information. Goodwill is recorded when consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. Measurement-period adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding offset to goodwill are recorded in the period they occur, which may include up to one year from the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included short-term revenue growth rates, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins, discount rates, customer attrition rates and contributory asset charges.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider our highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.
Receivables, net. We do business with a significant number of customers, principally homebuilders, contractors, school districts and municipalities. We monitor our exposure for credit losses on our customer receivable balances and the credit worthiness of our customers on an on-going basis. Expected credit losses are measured by segment using historical loss rate information adjusted for current conditions, with changes in the allowance recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Expected losses are charged against the allowance when management believes a receivable is uncollectible. During downturns in our markets, declines in the financial condition and creditworthiness of customers impact the credit risk of the receivables involved and we have incurred additional expense related to customer defaults. Receivables, net are presented net of certain allowances, including allowance for credit losses.
Inventories. Inventories consist primarily of insulation and insulation accessories, rain gutters, garage doors, shower enclosures, windows, shelving and other products. We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, where cost is determined by the first in-first out cost method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal, and transportation. Inventory value is evaluated at each balance sheet date to ensure that it is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Inventory provisions are recorded to reduce inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value for obsolete or slow moving inventory based on assumptions about future demand and marketability of products, the impact of new product introductions, inventory levels and turns, product spoilage, and specific identification of items such as product discontinuance, engineering/material changes, or regulatory-related changes. Our inventory reserve balances were $
Property and Equipment, net. Property and equipment, net, including significant improvements to existing facilities, are recorded at cost. Upon retirement or disposal, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Maintenance and repair costs are charged against earnings as incurred. Gains and losses on the disposal of equipment are included in selling, general, and administrative expense.
We review our property and equipment as an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value of property and equipment is below its fair value. If the carrying amount is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, we would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the current fair value. Further, we evaluate the remaining useful lives of property and equipment at each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining depreciation periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are generally as follows:
Asset Class | Estimated Useful Life |
Buildings and land improvements | |
Software | |
Company vehicles | |
Equipment |
Leases. At the inception of a contract, we determine whether the contract is or contains a lease, based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Our facilities operating leases and various vehicle and equipment finance leases have lease and non-lease fixed cost components, which we account for as one single lease component in calculating the present value of minimum lease payments. Variable lease and non-lease cost components are expensed as incurred and are primarily included in cost of sales on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Lease payments are recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including future option periods the Company reasonably expects to exercise, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is typically represented as the spread between the ROU asset and lease liability.
We recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. Our leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which will be reflected in the calculation of the lease liability and corresponding ROU asset when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We do not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have an initial lease term of 12 months or less. We recognize the lease payments associated with short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments as of the lease commencement date. The lease liability is discounted based on our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) at the time of modification for an existing lease or at the time of lease commencement for new leases. Our IBR includes significant assumptions regarding our secured borrowing rates and adjustments for differences in the remaining lease term, underlying assets and market conditions for companies with similar credit qualities as well as interest rate index fluctuations. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term as the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Certain vehicle lease agreements have residual value guarantees at the end of the lease which require us to return the asset with a specified percentage of the original or other calculated value.
Fair Value. The fair value measurement standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (referred to as an “exit price”). A fair value hierarchy is established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by market data.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We perform our annual impairment testing of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year, or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We have defined our reporting units and completed the impairment testing of goodwill at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are engaged in business activities for which discrete financial information, including long-range forecasts, are available. When assessing goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. If we conclude otherwise, then no further action is taken. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment and only perform a quantitative assessment. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we performed quantitative and qualitative assessments, respectively.
Fair value for our reporting units is determined using a discounted cash flow method and a market multiple approach (with a 50% weighting of each), both which include significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). We believe these methodologies are comparable to what would be used by other market participants. Using the discounted cash flow method requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, including long term projections of cash flows, market conditions, and appropriate discount rates. Our judgments are based on historical experience, current market trends, consultations with external valuation specialists and other information. The market approach includes a comparison of the multiple of a reporting unit's carrying value to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization with the multiples of similar businesses or guideline companies whose securities are actively traded in the public markets. While we believe that the estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation methodologies are reasonable, changes to estimates and assumptions could result in different outcomes. In estimating future cash flows, we rely on internally generated long-range forecasts for sales and operating profits, and a long term assumed annual growth rate of cash flows for periods after the long-range forecast. We generally develop these forecasts based upon, among other things, recent sales data for existing products, and estimated U.S. housing starts.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. We evaluate the remaining useful lives of amortizable intangible assets at each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. For additional information, see Note 5 – Goodwill and Other Intangibles.
Insurance Reserves. We use a combination of high deductible and matching deductible insurance programs for a number of risks including, but not limited to, workers’ compensation, general liability, auto, and property liabilities. Our workers’ compensation insurance is primarily a high-deductible insurance program and our primary general liability insurance is a matching deductible program. We are insured for covered claims above the deductibles and retentions on an excess basis. The liabilities represent our best estimate of our costs, using generally accepted actuarial reserving methods, of the ultimate obligations for reported claims plus those incurred but not reported claims through December 31, 2025 and 2024. The accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change that would affect the estimated liability. We also record an insurance receivable for claims that exceeded the stop loss limit included in Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets which offsets an equal liability included within Long-term portion of insurance reserves on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount of this receivable and liability was $
Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, net of manufacturers support, was approximately $

Share-based Compensation. Our share-based compensation program currently consists of RSAs and stock options. Share-based compensation expense is reported in selling, general, and administrative expense. We do not capitalize any compensation cost related to share-based compensation awards. The income tax benefits and expenses associated with share-based awards are reported as a component of income tax expense. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies are included in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities while shares withheld for tax-withholding are reported in financing activities under the caption “Taxes withheld and paid on employees’ equity awards” in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Award forfeitures are accounted for in the period they occur.
The following table summarizes certain information regarding our restricted share awards and our stock options:

Stock Options† | Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model | Ratably; | Straight-line | Fair value at grant date |
†Stock options expire no later than
‡Expense is reversed if award is forfeited prior to vesting.
Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective debt, which approximates the effective interest rate method. Unamortized debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the related debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax basis and financial reporting basis of our assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in the respective jurisdictions in which we operate.
Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the realization of those deferred tax assets will not occur. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence. If, based upon all available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not (more than 50 percent likely) such deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable.
Only those income tax positions that have a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities are recognized. There is an increased potential for volatility in our effective tax rate because of future changes in the income tax environment and the inherent complexities of income tax law in the various jurisdictions. Accordingly, provisions for tax-related matters, including interest and penalties, could be recorded in income tax expense in the period revised assessments are made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
While we believe we have adequately assessed for our uncertain tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could vary from our assessment of uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, provisions for tax-related matters, including interest and penalties, could be recorded in income tax expense in the period revised assessments are made. These unrecognized tax positions including associated interest and penalties are not material to our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Additionally, we generally do not provide for taxes related to undistributed earnings as such earnings would not be taxable when remitted or would be considered to be indefinitely reinvested.
Foreign Currency. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for the change in retained earnings during the year, which is the result of the income statement translation process. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The cumulative translation adjustments associated with the net assets of foreign subsidiaries are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on our Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising during the normal course of business are included in Other, net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Income Tax Disclosures Improvements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. This standard amends Topic 740 to require all entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other income tax information. This standard became effective for us in this Annual Report. Its adoption had no impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In addition, see Note 12 – Income Taxes for required disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”. This standard requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This standard may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We do not anticipate that this standard will affect our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows and we are assessing the impact of its adoption in our disclosures to our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”. This standard removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and requires an entity to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. This standard may be applied using a prospective, modified or retrospective transition approach. We do not anticipate that this standard will affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows to our consolidated financial statements.
2. LEASES
We lease various assets to support our business including warehouses for our Installation Services branch locations and Specialty Distribution centers, office space for our Branch Support Center in Daytona Beach, Florida and other administrative locations, as well as fleet vehicles and certain equipment. In addition, we lease certain operating facilities from related parties, primarily former owners (and in certain cases, current management personnel) of companies acquired. These related party leases are immaterial to our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, net, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair value measurements were applied to our long-term debt portfolio. We believe the carrying value of our Term Loan approximates the fair market value primarily due to the fact that the non-performance risk of servicing our debt obligations, as reflected in our business and credit risk profile, has not materially changed since we assumed our debt obligations under the Credit Agreement. In addition, due to the floating-rate nature of our Term Loan, the market value is not subject to variability solely due to changes in the general level of interest rates as is the case with a fixed-rate debt obligation.
Based on active market trades of our

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our business consists of
Our Installation Services segment installs insulation, commercial roofing and other building products. It sells primarily to the residential new construction market, with increasing activity in the commercial/industrial construction market, along with repair/remodel of residential housing. In addition, it provides commercial roofing installation services that includes re-roofing, recurring maintenance services, and new construction. Installation Services also installs other building products including glass and windows, rain gutters, garage doors, closet shelving, and fireplaces, among other items.
Our Specialty Distribution segment distributes building and mechanical insulation, insulation accessories and other building product materials for the residential and commercial/industrial end markets. In addition to insulation and accessories, it distributes rain gutters, closet shelving, and roofing materials, among other items. Distributed products are sold from distribution centers in various parts of the United States and Canada, primarily to contractors and dealers (including lumber yards) serving a wide variety of commercial/industrial markets.
Intercompany sales from the Specialty Distribution segment to the Installation Services segment are recorded by the Specialty Distribution segment with a profit margin and by our Installation Services segment at cost. This intercompany profit is eliminated in consolidation.
Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM measures performance for our reportable segments based on segment net sales and operating profit. Our CODM uses these measures to evaluate resource allocation and other strategic initiatives (e.g., making acquisitions and internal investments). Segment performance measures are compared to budgeted and forecasted amounts periodically to assist in evaluating performance versus expectations and to inform future allocation and strategic decisions.

11. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation. We are subject to certain claims, charges, litigation, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, product recalls, construction defects, insurance coverage, personnel and employment disputes, antitrust, and other matters, including class actions. We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters, and we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on us. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in any of these pending matters, and we could in the future incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims, or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our liquidity and our results of operations.
Other Matters. We enter into contracts, which include customary indemnities that are standard for the industries in which we operate. Such indemnities include, among other things, claims against our builder customers for issues relating to our workmanship. We generally exclude from our contracts with builder customers indemnity relating to product quality and warranty claims, as we pass such claims directly to the manufacturers of the products we install or distribute. In conjunction with divestitures and other transactions, we occasionally provide customary indemnities relating to various items including, among others, the enforceability of trademarks, legal and environmental issues, and asset valuations. We evaluate the probability that we may incur liabilities under these customary indemnities and appropriately record an estimated liability when deemed probable.
We also maintain indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may require us to indemnify them against liabilities that arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, except as prohibited by applicable law.

13. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury stock method.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
In accordance with guidance issued by the SEC, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year in which the acquisition occurred. As discussed in Note 15 – Business Combinations, the Company acquired Progressive and SPI on July 14, 2025 and October 7, 2025, respectively. Progressive’s total assets (excluding intangible assets and goodwill arising from the acquisition) and net sales represented 2% and 4% of TopBuild’s consolidated total assets and net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. SPI’s total assets (excluding intangible assets and goodwill arising from the acquisition) and net sales represented 5% and 3% of TopBuild’s consolidated total assets and net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 excluded Progressive and SPI as the Company is in the process of integrating certain processes, systems and internal controls related to the operations of these subsidiaries, excluding intangible assets and goodwill, which are included within the scope of management’s evaluation.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Item 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
For information regarding our executive officers see Item 1. Business – Executive Officers, which we incorporate herein by reference. Further information required by this item will be set forth in our definitive proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“2026 Proxy Statement”) to be filed with the SEC within 120 days of the year ended December 31, 2025, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Our Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to all of our employees, officers, and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other senior officers, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE. Our Code is available on our website at https://www.topbuild.com/company-information/corporate-governance. We will disclose any amendments to or waivers of this Code for directors, executive officers, or senior officers on our website. The reference to our website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained on the website, and such information is not a part of this Annual Report.

Timing of Equity Grants:
We do not have a formal policy that requires the Company to grant, or avoid granting, equity-based compensation to our directors or executive officers at certain times. We routinely grant long-term equity awards to our executive officers in connection with annual compensation reviews at our February Board meeting based on our long-range planning process and the benchmarking advice of our compensation consultant, and to our directors in connection with annual elections immediately following our annual meeting of shareholders. The timing of equity grants to directors or executive officers in connection with new hires, promotions, or other non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award, such as commencement of employment/services or promotion effective date. As a result, in all cases, the timing of grants of equity awards occurs independently of the release of any material nonpublic information and the Company does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of equity-based compensation.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no equity grants made to directors or executive officers of the Company during any period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report or current report disclosing material nonpublic information and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report with the SEC.
