DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., March 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TopBuild Corp. (NYSE: BLD), the leading installer and distributor of insulation products to the United States construction industry, reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2015. The Company also announced its capital allocation plan.
Jerry Volas, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our fourth quarter results were solid as we continued to perform well within the growing new residential housing industry. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, revenue increased 7.1% and our adjusted operating profit margin improved 70 basis points to 7.8%. Although the labor market remains tight, extending the building cycle and the traditional lag time in our business, increasing new household formations are creating demand for new construction that will continue to drive the housing recovery.
"Our Company changed significantly in 2015. On July 1, we became a separate public company and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. We emerged with the primary goals of positioning TopBuild to capitalize on the U.S. housing recovery and to exploit opportunities to increase market share throughout our national footprint. Today, we have our team in place and our entire organization is focused on optimizing our operating margin by leveraging top line growth and improving efficiency throughout our operations. Prospectively, we see our Company expanding both organically and through strategically selected accretive acquisitions and returning capital to our shareholders through a share repurchase program."
Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights
(unless otherwise indicated, comparisons are to quarter ended December 31, 2014)
The Company noted that fourth quarter operating adjustments included $0.3 million related to rationalization charges and $9.9 million of non-recurring income related to a change to an employee benefit policy.
At quarter end, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $113 million and availability under its revolving credit facility of $70 million for total liquidity of $183 million.
As previously disclosed, in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company was incorrectly allocated a favorable legal settlement which overstated operating profit by $1.9 million (corrected in an out-of-period adjustment in first quarter 2015). The Company also noted that in the fourth quarters of 2014 and 2015, it received favorable insurance adjustments of approximately $5.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively. However, the 2015 positive adjustment was offset by charges impacting TruTeam relating to insurance expenses which were approximately $5.0 million higher than what the Company has historically incurred for these items. Going forward, the Company believes the charges related to these items will revert to their historical run rate.

Capital Allocation Plan
The Company also announced that it will use its free cash flow to fund strategic acquisitions and implement a share repurchase program approved by its Board of Directors. Under the plan, the Company may purchase up to $50 million in shares of its common stock over the next 12 months. Repurchases will be made from cash on hand as well as from a portion of the free cash flow expected to be generated from the business during that timeframe.
Volas stated, "Our strong balance sheet provides us with the flexibility to initiate this $50 million share repurchase program while continuing to execute our strategic growth initiatives, including accretive acquisitions. This program reflects our commitment to enhancing shareholder value and our confidence in TopBuild's ability to generate top line growth and expand margins."
Repurchases will be made from time to time at the Company's discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its common stock and general market conditions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
