SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (the “Company” or “SiteOne”) (NYSE: SITE) announced earnings for its third quarter ended September 29, 2019 (“Third Quarter 2019”).
“In the third quarter we saw improved weather which enabled us to drive strong organic growth across our product lines and end markets,” said Doug Black, SiteOne’s Chairman and CEO. “We continued to execute well on our commercial and operational initiatives, driving good adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, including solid SG&A leverage and strong cash flow. We also continued to add excellent companies to SiteOne with the acquisition of Voss Materials, Trendset Concrete Products and more recently Design Outdoor. Each of these companies expands our hardscapes capabilities in the respective markets. With solid underlying market demand and a robust pipeline of additional acquisitions, our team will continue to execute our strategy for the benefit of our customers and suppliers as we build our company of excellence for long-term performance and growth.”
Third Quarter 2019 Results
Net sales for the Third Quarter 2019 increased to $652.8 million, or 13%, compared to $578.5 million for the prior-year period. Organic Daily Sales increased 7% compared to the prior-year period driven by favorable weather, good demand in our end markets, and price increases in response to cost inflation. Acquisitions contributed $39.0 million, or 7%, to net sales growth for the quarter.
Gross profit increased to $215.2 million, or 13%, compared to $191.0 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin of 33.0% was flat year-over-year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $165.0 million from $151.8 million for the same period last year. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 90 basis points to 25.3% primarily due to strong organic sales growth and good expense management.
Net income increased to $34.6 million, compared to $29.9 million during the same period for the prior year. The increase in net income for the quarter is attributable to sales growth and improved profitability, partially offset by increased tax expense due to reduced excess tax benefits.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $70.5 million, compared to $60.0 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased by 40 basis points to 10.8%, driven by contributions from strong organic sales growth, good SG&A leverage and good performance from our acquisitions.
Outlook
For 2019, we are narrowing our expected Adjusted EBITDA range to $197 million to $203 million compared to our prior estimates of $193 million to $207 million, representing year-over-year growth of 12-15%. The mid-point of our guidance remains unchanged at $200 million, representing 14% year-over-year growth.
Reconciliation for the forward-looking full-year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA outlook is not being provided, as the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our 2019 Adjusted EBITDA outlook. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “intend,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions. You should be aware that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time that may cause our business not to develop as we expect, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: cyclicality in residential and commercial construction markets; general economic and financial conditions, including inflation; weather conditions, seasonality and availability of water to end-users; laws and government regulations applicable to our business that could negatively impact demand for our products; public perceptions that our products and services are not environmentally friendly; competitive industry pressures; product shortages and the loss of key suppliers; product price fluctuations; inventory management risks; ability to implement our business strategies and achieve our growth objectives; acquisition and integration risks; increased operating costs; and other risks, as described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release includes certain financial information, not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the information contained in the historical financial information of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is set forth herein.
We present Adjusted EBITDA in order to evaluate the operating performance and efficiency of our business. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for items permitted under the covenants of our credit facilities. EBITDA represents our net income (loss) plus the sum of income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets not in the ordinary course of business, other non-cash items, financing fees, other fees, and expenses related to acquisitions and other non-recurring (income) loss. Adjusted EBITDA excludes any earnings or loss of acquisitions prior to their respective acquisition dates for all periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of Adjusted EBITDA instead of net income has limitations as an analytical tool. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Net debt is defined as long-term debt (net of issuance costs and discounts) plus finance leases, net of cash and cash-equivalents on our balance sheet. Leverage Ratio is defined as Net Debt to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash Flow from Operating Activities, less capital expenditures. We define Organic Daily Sales as Organic Sales divided by the number of Selling Days in the relevant reporting period. We define Organic Sales as Net sales, including Net sales from newly-opened greenfield branches, but excluding Net sales from acquired branches until they have been under our ownership for at least four full fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal year. Selling Days are the number of business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, that SiteOne branches are open during the relevant reporting period.
