TopBuild (NYSE: BLD) lifts sales via acquisitions, sets 2026 guidance
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
TopBuild Corp. reported mixed fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results driven largely by acquisitions. Fourth quarter sales reached $1.49 billion, up 13.2% from 2024, as the SPI and Progressive Roofing deals offset weaker residential and light commercial new construction. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $265.2 million with a 17.9% margin, while reported net income fell to $104.5 million, or $3.71 per diluted share.
For 2025, sales edged up to $5.41 billion, but net income declined to $521.7 million and adjusted EBITDA to $1.04 billion, reflecting higher SG&A, interest expense, and integration costs. The company completed seven acquisitions adding about $1.20 billion in annual revenue and repurchased 1.37 million shares for $434.2 million, funded alongside a step-up in long-term debt to $2.78 billion.
Looking to 2026, TopBuild guides to sales of $5.925–$6.225 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $1.005–$1.155 billion. Management assumes a mid–single digit residential sales decline, low–single digit commercial and industrial growth, and $800–$850 million in M&A-driven sales contribution, with acquisitions remaining the top capital priority.
