Building Products Industry Spotlight
Introduction
Still on the First Floor
The Building Products industry is on a path of
long-term sustainable growth supported by strong
fundamentals across both the residential and
commercial building sectors.
During 2014 and
through the first half of 2015, major indicators such
as construction spending, home building, household
formation and architectural billings have all pointed
towards a sustained, long-term recovery. In spite
of these improving trends, however, the overall
growth has been delayed and slower than previously
discussed in TM Capital’s June 2014 Building
Products Industry Spotlight. This updated Industry
Spotlight provides further analysis and commentary
encompassing these key industry drivers, examines
the current shortfall of housing starts in relation to
household formations, discusses the impact of credit
requirements and interest rates on the industry and
evaluates the implications of these trends on the
overall recovery, growth and investment activity
throughout the sector. As the strong tailwinds in the
residential and non-residential construction markets
continue, both strategic and financial investors remain
highly acquisitive in the Building Products sector.
M&A activity within the United States and Canada
in 2014 increased by 19.5% compared to 2013,
with over 130 closed transactions. We anticipate
that deal activity will remain strong throughout 2015
(albeit below 2014 levels) and into the coming years.
recovery, albeit at a more moderate 1.0% growth rate
over 2013. Although private residential construction
spending has continued to improve in 2014, it still
remains below the 2008 level of $350 billion, see
Figure 1. Within the overall spending figures, multifamily spending increased 32.7% over 2013 which
is reflective of changing demographic patterns that
favor urban cores. Single-family investment continued
to moderately increase by 13.4%.
We expect
improvement spending to accelerate as wage growth
improves and access to home equity credit lines
expands within the broader economic recovery.
Despite more moderate spending growth in 2014, the
upward trend in construction spending since 2010
remains robust with a 6.6% compound annual growth
rate (“CAGR”) over that period. Additionally, the outlook
for 2015 continues to show improvement. Compared
to the slow spending that the U.S. experienced at the
beginning of 2014, mainly the result of prolonged poor
weather across the country, the first half of 2015 inspires
confidence. In June 2015, the National Association
of Home Builders (“NAHB”) / Wells Fargo Housing

Market Index, an index measuring builder confidence
in the market for newly built, single-family homes,
rose to a yearly high, representing a bullish outlook
for the single-family housing construction market.
“Builders are reporting more serious and committed
buyers at their job sites and this is reflected in recent
government data showing that new-home sales and
single-family construction are gaining momentum,”
said NAHB Chairman Tom Woods.
adjusted annual rate of 1.275 million, the highest
level since 2007. This uptick demonstrates continued
builder confidence in the market and an optimism
that consumers are returning to the housing market.
Although the magical one million mark has finally been
achieved, the market remains well below the long
term average of 1.4 million starts. Following the Great
Recession, household formation dropped sharply and
has generally remained below its historical average.
The low rate of household formation among American
millennials has been a key driver. Reflecting the
burden of higher student loans and stagnant wages,
many American millennials have preferred to live
at their parents’ homes. Late 2014 brought some
evidence of gathering strength in the level of household
formation. The rate of housing starts per household
formed also remained below its average for most of
the post-recession period, although it has recently
returned to its normal level, see Figure 3. From 1981
to 2007, there were approximately 1.17 housing starts
per new household formed, but this metric fell to
0.90 for the 2008-2014 period. We see the housing
market poised for growth from a sustained recovery
in household formation and pent up demand created
by the low level of starts/formation in recent years.

Housing Starts & Household Formation Are
Accelerating But Still Have a Very Long Runway –
Housing starts are a direct driver of demand for Building
Products within the residential construction sector. In
2014, overall annual housing starts surpassed the one
million mark for the first time since 2007, see Figure 2.
Despite this short-term growth, there remains significant
headway for continued growth, with housing starts still
well below the 35-year historical average of 1.4 million
per year. The NAHB predicts that U.S. housing starts
will continue to recover, reaching approximately 1.3
million in 2016. The first half of 2015 has also shown an
uptick in permit issuance, rising 11.8% to a seasonally
In spite of the overall growth of housing starts, singlefamily construction has been slower to rebound. Singlefamily housing starts, despite showing signs of life in
July 2015 by growing 14.2% above the prior month to
a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 782,000, remain
54.4% below the 2005 peak. Strengthening homebuilder
confidence and the growing number of first-time
homebuyers entering the market are positive trends
that should support continued single-family growth.

Homeownership Levels Still Awaiting Rebound –
One fundamental indicator for the Building Products
industry has yet to show recovery.
The U.S.
Homeownership rate was at 63.8% as of January
2015, lower than any period since October 1988,
see Figure 4. U.S. homeownership has been in a
decline since reaching a peak of 69.4% in April 2004.
Although the improving overall economy should bolster
homeownership rates, rising home prices, a continued
challenging mortgage environment, a limited supply of
lower-end properties and a recent explosion in student
loans have made affordability difficult for new, entrylevel home buyers. Should the homeownership rate
begin to improve to historical norms over the coming
quarters and years, TM Capital would expect to see
accelerating growth in the Building Products industry
resulting from both new construction and remodeling
of existing homes.
Figure 5. Additionally, amongst 25- to 34-year-old
renters with student loans, the average balance of
loans outstanding has increased dramatically, growing
to $30,700 in 2013, an increase of 50% from 2004
levels, due to the ever increasing costs associated
with a college education. Further demonstrating the
constraining nature of these loans is the percentage
of people ages 27 to 30 with home-secured debt, see
Figure 6. Since 2012, a larger percentage of 27- to
30-year-olds that are unburdened by student loans
have purchased a home than those with outstanding
student loans. Historically, this has not been the case,
as those with student loans have typically represented
college educated individuals with higher earning
power and an enhanced ability to take on mortgage
debt. As the volume of student loans outpace growth
in discretionary income, the younger generation of
potential homeowners has become hamstrung by
personal debt levels, discouraging and disqualifying
many from making a big ticket housing purchase.
Student loan debt in particular remains an impediment
to a more comprehensive homeownership recovery.
From 2004 to 2014, the total volume of student loans
outstanding has more than tripled, growing from $346
million to almost $1.2 billion over that period, see
As the Great Recession fades further into the
background, median household income, while having
slowly increased since the trough in 2010, remains

well below historical levels and continues to act as a
headwind for a robust housing recovery, see Figure
7. Following the housing crisis, which saw home
prices decline to unprecedented lows in the modern
era, home prices continue to climb back towards
pre-recession levels, as illustrated by The Schiller
U.S. National Home Price Index (“Schiller Index”).
The Schiller Index tracks the change in value of the
U.S. residential housing market. This appreciation
of home equity and consequent generation of wealth
is restoring consumer confidence, see Figure 8, and
spurring increased levels of discretionary spending,
including on big ticket purchases such as home repairs
and home purchases.
face. Although this remains well below the long-term
average of approximately 40%, it has the potential
to greatly impact the housing and Building Products
markets over the coming years. Following nearly a
decade of stagnant purchasing by young adults and
millennials, many of whom have defaulted to living with
their parents or renting, the strengthening economy
combined with lower unemployment and improved
wages are enabling younger adults to save for down
payments.
Remodeling and Repair Spending Is Necessary
Support to an Aging Housing Stock – The Leading
Indicator of Remodeling Activity (“LIRA”), recorded
by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard
University (“JCHS”), measured as the annual rateof-change of its components, provides a short-term
outlook of homeowner remodeling activity and is
intended to help identify future turning points in the
business cycle of the home improvement industry,
see Figure 9. The LIRA model utilizes eight different
economic indicators to estimate near-term changes
in the market: (i) remodeling market index-future
expectations, (ii) pending home sales index, (iii) 30year treasury bonds yield, (iv) single-family housing
starts, (v) retail sales at building materials and supplies
In 2015, we have already begun to see more new
homeowners enter the market. According to the
Research Division of the National Association
of Realtors, in May 2015, first-time homebuyers
represented 32% of existing home sales, compared
to 27% in May 2014, matching the highest level
since September 2012. June and July saw first-time
homebuyers decline to 30% and 28%, respectively,
likely due to recent volatility in the stock markets
and the continued challenges of flat wage growth
and rising rents that young, potential homebuyers

and maximize value. New homeowners are most
likely to make substantial changes immediately after
purchase as they personalize their homes to best meet
their needs. According to the National Association
of Realtors, existing home sales are expected to
increase by 7.4% in 2015. These increased home
sales, combined with rising home equity and favorable
interest rates, will likely spur remodeling activity and
drive retail sales of Building Products. Bob Hull, CFO
of Lowe’s Companies, Inc., echoed this sentiment
in his message during Lowe’s Analyst & Investor
Conference, “Rising home values and lower debt
levels are expected to continue to contribute to overall
household wealth and should fuel home improvement
spending as customers will be more willing and able
to take on discretionary projects. All that said, there’s
been positive momentum in housing turnover lately.
Existing home sales in single-family starts will begin
to expand at a more sustainable pace driving home
improvement demand.”
Further, as the housing
stock in the U.S. continues to age (as of 2013, twothirds of the housing stock was over 31 years old,
with a median age of U.S. owner-occupied housing
stock of 40 years old), homes will require additional
upkeep and maintenance, presenting a tremendous
opportunity for remodeling and replacement activity in
the years ahead – a significant growth opportunity for
the Building Products industry, see Figure 11.

in 2014, up from a 65-year low of 2.2% in 2011, see
Figure 10. However, fixed investment remains well
below the historical average of 4.7% of GDP, another
indication that the housing market is still in the early
stages of a full recovery.
Non-Residential Construction Continues Upward
March to Pre-Recession Levels – Throughout
2014 and thus far in 2015, private non-residential
(commercial, industrial, manufacturing, warehouse,
hotels, offices, retail) construction spending has
continued to show signs of recovery, but still
remains well below historical peaks, see Figure
12. After a slow start in 2014, primarily the result
of weather-related delays, the second half of 2014
improved dramatically to end the year at greater than
forecasted spending levels. In 2014, total U.S. private
commercial construction spending reached $60.8
billion, up from $50.9 billion in 2013, representing
19.3% growth. Growth in 2014 was led by multi-retail
(department stores, shopping malls and town centers)
and warehouse (commercial, storage and distribution
warehouses) construction. The American Institute
of Architects (“AIA”), forecasts that non-residential
construction spending will grow 7.7% and 8.2% in
2015 and 2016, respectively. This growth will be
driven by the commercial and industrial construction
sectors, as it was in 2014; however, institutional
(educational, healthcare, public buildings, amusement
& recreational, transportation, religious) activity is
expected to return to positive growth. According to
AIA Chief Economist, Kermit Baker, PhD, Hon., “This
is the first time since the Great Recession that every
major building category is projected to see increases
in spending. But by far, the most significant driver
that will fuel greater expansion in the marketplace is
the revival in the institutional sector, especially with
growing demand for new healthcare and education
facilities, which alone traditionally account for a third
of spending on new building construction.”
The AIA also publishes the Architecture Billing Index
(“ABI”), which serves as a proxy for non-residential
construction activity. The ABI scores are released
every month, and a score above 50 indicates growth,
whereas scores below 50 indicate contraction.
Architectural billings typically lead construction
spending by approximately nine to twelve months.
Since January 2013, there have only been five months
of contraction, versus 24 months of growth, a positive
indicator for the overall trajectory of billings. In May
2015, the ABI returned to positive levels, up to 51.9
compared to 48.8 in April, led by growing demand for
new schools, hospitals, cultural facilities and municipal
buildings, see Figure 13.

– In March 2015, the U.S. Energy Information
Administration released the results from its 2012
Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey
(“CBECS”).
The CBECS classifies commercial
buildings as buildings over 1,000 square feet that
devote more than half of their floor space to activities
that are not residential, manufacturing, industrial or
agricultural. Since 1979, the number of commercial
buildings in the U.S. has increased from 3.8 million
to 5.6 million, with commercial floor space increasing

from 51 billion square feet to 81 billion square feet. The
U.S. building stock is “middle-aged”, with about half
of all commercial buildings having been built before
1980, see Figure 14. Many of these older buildings
will require renovation and retrofitting to improve
energy efficiency, meet modern compliance codes and
to maintain asset value. Older buildings are not only
less efficient, but they also lack the amenities of more
modern buildings, resulting in lower occupancy and
rental rates. In order to compete with newer assets,
these older buildings must be renovated through
investment that will drive occupancy rates, rental rates
and ultimately return on the investment made.

Complementing the positive fundamental economic
environment supporting the housing market are
several credit related tailwinds that are further fueling
demand within the industry. After years of onerous
credit requirements resulting in an unprecedented
credit crunch, banks have started to loosen standards,
as evidenced in the Mortgage Credit Availability Index
(“MCAI”). The MCAI, which was benchmarked to 100
in March 2012, was 122.0 as of June 2015.

This loosening of credit standards coupled with
improving income statistics is leading to a growing
number of consumers who qualify for loans and
mortgages for big ticket purchases, expanding
the overall pool of eligible buyers. The National
Association of Realtors’ Housing Affordability Index
(“HAI”) tracks this by measuring whether or not a
typical family earns enough to qualify for a mortgage
loan on a typical home based on the most recent price
and income data. An index value of 100 denotes that
the median income is exactly sufficient to qualify for a
mortgage on a median-priced home, with higher values
representing superior levels of affordability. The HAI
score for the month of May 2015 was at 159.0, see
Figure 15. Notwithstanding these improvements the
recovery of household formation remains sluggish.
Mortgage rates are a key factor in determining the
affordability of homes, with low rates increasing the
ability of a consumer with a given income to purchase
a higher-priced home. Mortgage rates have hovered
around 50-year lows for the past five years, due in
large part to near-zero interest rates maintained by the
Federal Reserve. However, as the economy shows
signs of continued recovery, the Federal Reserve is
widely expected to raise interest rates in the second
half of 2015. Mortgage rates are expected to follow
suit, with Freddie Mac forecasting 30-Year Fixed
Mortgage Rates to climb as high as 4.9% by 2016,
compared to 4.0% today, see Figure 16. Even a spike
in rates to 4.9% is still 1.6% below the historical, 25year average of 6.5%. Although the near-term spike in
interest rates could lead to a slow-down of mortgage
originations, TM Capital maintains a positive outlook
on the industry, anticipating that strong housing market
fundamentals and real income growth will outweigh
this potential headwind.
Much like the housing market, a recovery in the
mortgage market is far from complete, and even with
loosening credit standards, there remains significant
room for mortgage expansion. The total value of
mortgage loans outstanding, which peaked at $11,287

billion in the first quarter of 2008, was $9,867 billion at
the end of the first quarter in 2015, a decline of $1,420
billion during the seven-year period, see Figure 17.
While it may not be realistic to expect the levels seen
during the peak of the housing boom, current numbers
suggest a meaningful opportunity for growth moving
forward, even with the threat of increased mortgage
rates partially curtailing affordability.
balance sheets continues to increase, reaching $1,670
billion in April 2015, and is almost back to 2008 levels,
see Figure 18. During the Federal Reserve’s Open
Market Committee meeting on June 17, it was noted
that financing for commercial real estate remains
broadly available.
M&A Activity
Low interest rates and robust economic conditions
have also benefited commercial lending.
The
improving employment landscape has spurred demand
for office space, and higher consumer spending has
led to a boost in the need for larger warehouses and
industrial buildings. Consequently, the overall volume
of commercial and industrial loans outstanding has
increased to all-time highs. Further, the aggregate
value of commercial real estate loans on banks’

strategic and financial acquirers continue to take
advantage of strong industry tailwinds and favorable
macroeconomic trends. In 2014, the Building Products
industry saw a resurgence of U.S. and Canada based
M&A activity with 135 closed transactions, a 19.5%
increase over 2013, see Figure 19. This remains well
below the peak of 189 transactions in 2006. Despite a

M&A Activity
modest year-over-year decline in closed transactions
through YTD August 2015, as the positive trends in the
residential and non-residential construction markets
continue, we expect to see deal activity within the
Building Products industry continue to accelerate in
the long term.
Consolidation continues within the historically
fragmented Building Products space. Large, mature
strategic companies are seeking to make targeted
acquisitions to fuel growth. These companies remain
focused on acquiring businesses that will either expand
their geographic footprint or enhance their product
offerings and ultimately result in increased sales and
market share. With the availability of credit in the
current market environment, strategic buyers are able
to take advantage of growth via acquisition in a more
cost effective manner than through traditional organic
growth initiatives. An example of this aggressive
consolidation is US LBM Holdings, LLC (“US LBM”),
a company formed in 2009 and backed by BlackEagle
Partners, a middle market private equity firm. US LBM
was formed with the intent of acquiring regional lumber
and building materials distributors. Since 2010, US
LBM has successfully completed over 20 acquisitions
and has become one of the largest building materials
distributors in the U.S., providing lumber, roof and floor
trusses, siding and other building materials to custom
homebuilders and professional remodelers, as well
as multi-family and commercial contractors, across
21 states. It was recently announced that Kelso and
Company recently announced that it had entered into
a definitive agreement to purchase a majority of the
equity interests in US LBM.
Financial sponsors remain on the lookout for
acquisitions of businesses that are supported by
strong macroeconomic tailwinds. Private equity firms
with significant dry powder are aggressively pursuing
platform acquisitions in the Building Products space in
order to establish a presence in the sector upon which
to add tuck-in acquisitions.

Case Study
Case Study: Financial Sponsor Exit
Builders FirstSource Announces Acquisition of ProBuild Holdings
In April 2015, Builders FirstSource, a leading supplier and
manufacturer of building products, announced its pending
merger with ProBuild Holdings (“ProBuild”) from Devonshire
Investors in an all-cash transaction worth $1.63 billion. The
deal values ProBuild at approximately 9.6x 2014 adjusted
EBITDA and is expected to close later in the second half of
2015.
ProBuild was founded in 2006 by Devonshire Investors, the
private equity arm of Fidelity Investments. With approximately $4.5B of revenue in 2014,
the company is one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of building materials
to professional builders, contractors and project-oriented consumers across 40 states.
Builders FirstSource has been tremendously acquisitive and has completed six acquisitions
since 2011.
The combined entity is set to create a diversified national building products distributor
with approximately $6 billion in annual sales. This will make them the largest supplier
of Building Products to professional homebuilders in the United States. As a result of
this transaction, Builders FirstSource anticipates realizing significant cost savings, product
portfolio diversification, an expanded geographic footprint and margin expansion.
The execution of such a transaction demonstrates the company’s confidence in the
favorable timing and growth potential of its industry. Driven by strong financial performance
and sector tailwinds, there has been a meaningful uptick in strategic M&A activity, with no
signs of slowdown. Some other significant strategic transactions that have recently been
announced or closed include: BMC’s announced acquisition of STOCK Building Supply,
US LBM’s acquisition of Lampert Yards in May 2015 and Fortune Brands’ acquisition of
Norcraft Companies in March 2015.
“As the U.S. housing market continues its recovery, we believe now is
the ideal time to position Builders FirstSource for its next phase of
growth and value creation. Together we will establish a broader, more
efficient platform of manufacturing and distribution capabilities,
supported by high-quality service from the best talent in the industry.”
– Floyd Sherman, Chief Executive Officer of Builders FirstSource

Valuation Considerations
Valuation Considerations
The charts below illustrate the valuation metrics and stock performance of the Building Products industry by
major sub-segment. In general, consumer-facing companies with strong brand names trade at a premium to
more commoditized companies that rely heavily on raw material inputs (e.g. roofing, siding and insulation). Since
the last report, the overall industry has seen an expansion in TEV / EBITDA multiples, with companies realizing
significant sales and earnings growth and buyers willing to pay higher premiums to capture industry tailwinds. All
of the sectors across the Building Products category have outperformed the S&P 500 over the past five years, with
the exception of the roofing, siding and insulation category.
