CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). You can generally identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” or “should,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Statements about our future financial performance, growth or future developments relating to economic conditions, our markets or the commercial and residential construction industries and statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions or future events contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including statements made herein with respect to the Offer (as defined below), the Merger (as defined below) and related transactions, and including, for example, the timing of the completion of the Merger and the potential benefits of the Merger and those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:
•
the potential impact of the announcement and pendency of the proposed Offer and the Merger on us, including our relationships with suppliers, customers and employees, the time and resources dedicated to the completion of the Offer and the Merger and our inability to pursue alternative business opportunities or make appropriate changes to our business because of the Merger Agreement (as defined below);
•
uncertainties as to the expected timing and completion of the Offer and the Merger, including the possibility that the Merger Agreement will be terminated, including under circumstances which may require us to pay a termination fee, and that various closing conditions for the transactions may not be satisfied or waived and that our stock price will be adversely impacted in the event the Offer and the Merger are not consummated;
•
general business, financial market and economic conditions, including inflation and deflation, changes in interest rates, geopolitical conflicts, an economic downturn or recession and capital market volatility;
•
our dependency upon the cyclical commercial and residential construction markets, both new and repair and remodeling, or R&R, including any impact from a decline or delay in residential or commercial construction activity, including from disruptions caused by the inability of commercial borrowers to repay their debt obligations, and from the availability or cost of financing;
•
competition in our industry and the markets in which we operate;
•
consolidation in our industry;
•
general labor shortages, including as a result of changes in immigration policy and enforcement, could negatively impact the availability of labor or increase labor costs, including for our customers given that a meaningful portion of the construction labor force is comprised of immigrants, which could adversely impact customer demand for our products;
•
the fluctuations in prices and mix of the products we distribute and our ability to pass on price increases to our customers and effectively manage inventories and margins in both inflationary and deflationary pricing environments;
•
our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy, including identifying, successfully consummating and integrating acquisitions, opening new branches and expanding our product offerings;
•
our ability to successfully expand into new geographic markets;
4
•
product shortages, other disruptions in our supply chain or distribution network and potential loss of relationships with key suppliers, including increased shipping costs and delays and heightened risks relating to sourcing products from international suppliers, including risks relating to new or increased tariffs and other trade policies;
•
our ability to manage operating costs and achieve the anticipated benefits from our cost reduction and productivity initiatives;
•
the potential loss of any significant customers or reduction in volume of purchases by our significant customers;
•
our ability to identify and maintain attractive locations for our operations and our ability to renew our leases on favorable terms or find comparable replacement;
•
our ability to effectively manage our inventory as our sales volume or the prices of the products we distribute fluctuate;
•
significant fluctuations in fuel costs or shortages in the supply of fuel;
•
natural or man-made disruptions to our facilities or equipment;
•
the risk of our Canadian operations, including currency rate fluctuations;
•
our ability to continue to anticipate and address evolving consumer demands;
•
exposure to product liability and various other claims and litigation, and the adequacy and costs of insurance related thereto;
•
operating hazards that may cause personal injury or property damage;
•
the impact of and volatility in the political, legal and regulatory environments in which we operate, including tariffs and other policies associated with the current U.S. presidential administration;
•
our inability to engage in activities that may be in our best long-term interests because of restrictions in our debt agreements;
•
our current level of indebtedness and our ability to incur additional indebtedness, including to fund acquisitions;
•
our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all;
•
our ability to attract and retain key employees while controlling costs, including the impact of labor and trucking shortages;
•
cybersecurity breach, including misappropriation of our customers’, employees’ or suppliers’ confidential information, and the potential costs related thereto;
•
a disruption in our IT systems and costs necessary to maintain and update our IT systems; and
•
the imposition of new tariffs and other trade barriers, or increases in existing tariffs, and the effect of any retaliatory trade measures.
5
Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results and events may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date of such statement. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of contracted goods to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company includes shipping and handling costs billed to customers in net sales. These costs are recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
See Note 13, “Segments,” for information regarding disaggregation of revenue, including revenue by product and by geographic area.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations
Pending Merger with The Home Depot
On June 29, 2025, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Parent agreed to cause Merger Sub to commence a tender offer (as it may be extended, amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer”), which commenced on July 14, 2025, to purchase any and all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), at a price of $
110.00
per Share (the “Offer Price”), in cash, without interest and net of any required withholding of taxes.
Following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with the Merger Agreement and Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and the Company will survive the Merger as the surviving corporation and will be an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, each Share that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer (other than Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, or by any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Shares tendered and irrevocably accepted for purchase in the Offer and Shares held by stockholders of the Company who are entitled to demand and who have properly and validly demanded their statutory rights of appraisal in compliance with Section 262 of the DGCL) will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any required withholding taxes.
The board of directors of the Company unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and determined that the Merger Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed in the second half of calendar 2025. The Company has agreed to pay Parent a termination fee of $
147.5
million in cash upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances.
Beginning on July 16, 2025, alleged GMS stockholders filed
two
complaints in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, captioned
Wright v. GMS Inc. et al.
, No. 654243/2025 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. filed on July 16, 2025) and
Malone v. GMS Inc. et al.
, No. 654271/2025 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. filed on July 17, 2025). The complaints, each filed as an individual action, name GMS, its directors, and its chief executive officer as defendants and generally allege claims of negligent misrepresentation and concealment and negligence related to alleged disclosure deficiencies, in violation of New York common law, with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC in connection with the Offer and Merger, and seek to enjoin the Merger, as well as damages, costs and attorneys’ and experts’ fees. GMS has also received demand letters from several
12

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
purported stockholders related to alleged disclosure deficiencies in the Schedule 14D-9. The defendants, including GMS, believe that the claims asserted in these lawsuits and demand letters are without merit. Nonetheless, no assurances can be made as to the outcome of such actions or demands.
Other
On June 2, 2025, the Company acquired certain assets of The Lutz Company, a supplier of complementary products, including EIFS and related cladding supplies, operating from a single location in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metro area. The impact of this acquisition is not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company recorded transaction costs of $
6.2
million and $
1.3
million during the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Transaction costs for the three months ended July 31, 2025 included $
5.5
million of one-time costs incurred in connection with the pending merger with The Home Depot. Such costs are included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

350.0
million aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Notes (the “Redemption”), at a redemption price of
101.156
% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Redemption is conditioned upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement.
Asset Based Lending Facility
The Company has an asset based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) that provides for aggregate revolving commitments of $
950.0
million. Extensions of credit under the ABL Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated periodically based on specified percentages of the value of eligible inventory and accounts receivable, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments.
At the Company’s option, the interest rates applicable to the loans under the ABL Facility are based on SOFR or base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The margins applicable for each elected interest rate are subject to a pricing grid, as defined in the ABL Facility agreement, based on average daily availability for the most recent fiscal quarter. The ABL Facility also contains an unused commitment fee. As of July 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings was
5.68
%.
As of July 31, 2025, the Company had available borrowing capacity of approximately $
619.2
million under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility matures on December 22, 2027. The ABL Facility contains a cross-default provision with the Term Loan Facility.
Debt Covenants
The Term Loan Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes contain a number of covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, as described in the respective credit agreement and the indenture, to incur more indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions; make investments; create restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to us or make other intercompany transfers; create liens securing indebtedness; transfer or sell assets; merge or consolidate; enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and prepay or amend the terms of certain indebtedness.

Income Taxes
General.
The Company’s effective income tax rate on continuing operations was
28.7
% and
26.8
% for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The difference in the effective income tax rate over the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 was primarily due to the impact of state taxes and other permanent tax adjustments.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA contains numerous amendments to federal income tax provisions including the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions, the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and modifications to the international tax framework. There are multiple effective dates beginning in 2025 through 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on its estimated annual effective tax rate in fiscal 2026.
Valuation allowance
. The Company had a valuation allowance of $
11.9
million and $
11.8
million against its deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025, respectively. To the extent the Company generates sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize the tax benefits of the net deferred tax assets on which a valuation allowance is recorded, the effective tax rate may decrease as the valuation allowance is reversed.
Uncertain tax positions
. The Company had
no
uncertain tax positions as of July 31, 2025 or April 30, 2025.

Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchases
On December 2, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $
250.0
million of its outstanding common stock (such new repurchase program, the “2024 Repurchase Plan”). The 2024 Repurchase Plan replaced the Company’s previous share repurchase authorization. The Company may conduct repurchases under the 2024 Repurchase Plan through a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, under trading plans in accordance with SEC Rule 10b5-1, in privately negotiated transactions or in any combination of such methods, in each case in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The timing and amount of any purchases of our common stock are subject to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, our liquidity, credit availability, general business and market conditions, stock price, our debt covenants and the availability of alternative investment opportunities. The 2024 Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock, and it may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. As of July 31, 2025, the Company had $
179.2
million of remaining repurchase authorization under the 2024 Repurchase Plan.
Share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax. The Company includes the applicable excise tax as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired and records the taxes as a liability in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

GMS Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
Shares repurchased pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program are retired. The Company’s accounting policy related to its share repurchases is to reduce its common stock based on the par value of the shares and charge any excess of cost over par value to additional paid-in capital.

Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Interest rate swaps and collars
. The Company had interest rate swap agreements that were effective May 31, 2023 and expired April 30, 2025 with notional amounts totaling $
300.0
million to convert the variable interest rate on a portion of the term loans outstanding to a fixed 1-month SOFR interest rate of
3.899
%. The Company also has forward interest rate collars effective April 30, 2025 and expiring April 30, 2029 with notional amounts totaling $
300.0
million. The objective of such hedging instruments is to reduce the variability of interest payment cash flows associated with the variable interest rates under the Term Loan Facility and otherwise hedge exposure to future interest rate fluctuations. The Company believes there have been no material changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparties to these interest rate swaps and believes the risk of nonperformance by each party is minimal. The Company designated the interest rate swaps and collars as cash flow hedges.
As of July 31, 2025, $
0.3
million of the interest rate collar assets were classified in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and $
1.1
million were classified in other assets. The Company recognized gains of $
0.2
million and $
1.1
million during the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to its interest rate swaps and collars. These amounts are included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and within cash flows from operating activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of July 31, 2025, the Company expects that approximately $
0.3
million of pre-tax earnings will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next twelve months.
The fair value of interest rate swap and collar agreements is determined using Level 2 inputs. Generally, the Company obtains the Level 2 inputs from its counterparties. Substantially all the inputs throughout the full term of the instruments can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap and collar agreements was determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.
Contingent consideration
. The Company entered into contingent consideration arrangements in connection with its acquisition of Yvon Building Supply, Inc., Yvon Insulation Corporation, Yvon Insulation Windsor, Laminated Glass Technologies, Inc., and Right Fit Foam Insulation Ltd. (collectively, “Yvon”) in which the Company will make additional payments to the sellers ranging from
zero
dollars to a maximum amount of $
33.5
million ($
46.0
million Canadian dollars) based on the purchase volumes of certain customers, that are payable in cash to the sellers over
five years
. The fair value of contingent consideration is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation which uses Level 3 unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration include estimated future cash flows, discount rates, and volatility of forecasted revenue. Actual results may differ from the projected results and could have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. Additionally, as the liability is stated at present value, the passage of time alone will increase the estimated fair value of the liability each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recorded in other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

5.8
million of the contingent consideration liability was classified within other accrued expenses and current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and $
22.7
million was classified within other liabilities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Disclosures are required for certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods after initial recognition. Such measurements of fair value relate primarily to assets and liabilities measured at fair value in connection with business combinations and long-lived asset impairments. For more information on business combinations, see Note 2, “Business Combinations.” During the three months ended July 31, 2025, the Company recorded $
1.1
million for impairment of operating lease ROU assets. There were no other material long-lived asset impairments during the three months ended July 31, 2025 or 2024.
Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes was determined based on Level 2 inputs using observable market prices in less active markets. The carrying amounts of the Company’s Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility approximate their fair value, as the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.

Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and administrative actions associated with personal injuries, property damage, environmental matters, product liability claims, claims of former employees and other events arising in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 1 “—Insurance Liabilities”, the Company records liabilities for these claims, and assets for amounts recoverable from the insurer, for claims covered by insurance.
In addition, the Company has received certain complaints and demand letters from stockholders pertaining to disclosures made by the Company in connection with the pending merger with The Home Depot. See Note 2, “Business Combinations,” for more information.

Segments
During the three months ended July 31, 2025, the Company divided its Western operating segment into
two
operating segments, Northwest and West, which resulted in an increase (from
nine
to
ten
) in the number of geographic operating segments. The Company performed a goodwill impairment test immediately before and after the change in operating segments, which indicated the fair values of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values. The Company aggregates its operating segments into a single reportable segment based on similarities between the operating segments’ economic characteristics, nature of products sold, production process, type of customer and methods of distribution. There were no other changes to the Company’s reportable segments during the three months ended July 31, 2025. The CODM is not regularly provided and does not evaluate segments using total asset or capital expenditure information and it is therefore not disclosed. For more information regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 16, “Segments,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025.
Pending Merger with The Home Depot
On June 29, 2025, GMS Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with The Home Depot, Inc. (“Parent” or “The Home Depot”) and Gold Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Parent agreed to cause Merger Sub to commence a tender offer (as it may be extended, amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer”), which commenced on July 14, 2025, to purchase any and all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), at a price of $110.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), in cash, without interest and net of any required withholding of taxes. For additional information, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Founded in 1971, GMS, through its operating subsidiaries, operates a network of more than 320 distribution centers with extensive product offerings of wallboard, ceilings, steel framing and complementary construction products. We also operate nearly 100 tool sales, rental and service centers. Through these operations, we provide a comprehensive selection of building products and solutions for our residential and commercial contractor customer base across the United States and Canada. Our operating model combines the benefits of a national platform and strategy with a local go-to-market focus, enabling us to generate significant economies of scale while maintaining high levels of customer service.
Business Strategy
The key elements of our business strategy are as follows:
•
Expand Core Products
. Our business strategy includes an emphasis on expanding our market share in our core products (wallboard, ceilings and steel framing) both organically and through acquisitions.
•
Grow Complementary Products
. We are focused on growing our complementary product lines, with a particular emphasis on achieving growth in tools and fasteners, insulation and certain exterior envelope applications, including EIFS, and diversifying and expanding our product offerings in order to better serve our customers.
•
Expand our Platform
. Our growth strategy includes the pursuit of both greenfield openings and strategic acquisitions to further broaden our geographic markets, enhance our service levels and expand our product offerings.
◦
Greenfield openings
. Our strategy for opening new branches is generally to further penetrate existing markets or to enter new markets adjacent to our existing operations. For adjacent markets, we typically have pre-existing customer relationships in those markets but need a new location to fully serve those relationships.
◦
Acquisitions
. We have a proven history of consummating core and complementary acquisitions in new and contiguous markets. Due to the large, fragmented nature of our markets and our reputation throughout the industry, we believe we will continue to have access to a robust acquisition pipeline to supplement our organic growth. We use a rigorous targeting process to identify acquisition candidates that we believe will fit our culture and business model and we have built an experienced team of professionals to manage the acquisition and integration processes. As a result of our scale, purchasing power and ability to improve operations through implementing best practices, we believe we can continue to achieve substantial synergies, better serve our customers and drive earnings accretion from our acquisition strategy.
•
Drive Improved Productivity and Profitability
. Our business strategy entails a focus on reduced complexity, enhanced productivity and improved profitability across the organization, seeking to leverage our scale and employ both
28
technology and other best practices to lower our costs to deliver further margin expansion and earnings growth. By progressively improving our processes and systems, we also expect to continue to capture profitable market share in our existing footprint by delivering industry-leading customer service. We are expanding our e-commerce capabilities to better serve our customers.
Highlights
Key highlights in our business during the three months ended July 31, 2025 are described below:
•
Generated net sales of $1,414.3 million during the three months ended July 31, 2025, a 2.4% decrease from the prior year period, primarily due to softening market conditions and a challenging pricing environment in steel framing. These factors were partially offset by contributions from recent acquisitions and resilient pricing in wallboard, ceilings and certain complementary products.
•
Generated net income of $43.6 million during the three months ended July 31, 2025, a 23.9% decrease compared to the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in gross margin, primarily due to weakening demand, negative price and cost dynamics in wallboard and steel framing, and lower rebates as compared with a year ago due to reduced volumes. Also contributing was $5.5 million of transaction costs related to the pending merger with The Home Depot. Net income as a percentage of sales was 3.1% and 4.0% during the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
•
Generated Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this Item 2) of $135.5 million during the three months ended July 31, 2025, a 7.1% decrease compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 9.6% for the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to 10.1% for the three months ended July 31, 2024, primarily due to gross margin contraction.
•
Completed one acquisition and opened one greenfield location, as further described below.
Recent Developments
Acquisitions
On June 2, 2025, we acquired The Lutz Company, a supplier of complementary products, including EIFS and related cladding supplies, operating from a single location in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metro area.
For more information regarding our acquisitions, see Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Greenfields
During the three months ended July 31, 2025, the Company opened a new greenfield location in Spring Hill, Tennessee. Subsequent to quarter end, we opened a new greenfield location in Athens, Alabama.

The decrease in net sales during the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to softened demand across our end markets and price deflation in steel framing. These factors were partially offset by contributions from recent acquisitions and resilient pricing in wallboard, ceilings and certain complementary products. The decrease in net sales consisted of the following:
•
a decrease in wallboard sales, which are impacted by both commercial and residential construction activity, primarily due to lower volume, partially offset by an increase in price/product mix;
•
a decrease in steel framing sales, which are principally impacted by commercial construction activity, primarily due to lower volume and a decrease in price/product mix;
•
a decrease in complementary products sales, which include insulation, joint treatment, tools (including automatic taping and finishing tools), lumber and various other specialty building products, primarily due to softened demand; and
•
partially offset by an increase in ceilings sales, which are principally impacted by commercial construction activity, primarily due to an increase in price/product mix, partially offset by lower volume.
The following table breaks out our net sales into organic, or base business, net sales and recently acquired net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2025. When calculating organic sales growth, we exclude the net sales of acquired businesses until the first anniversary of the acquisition date. In addition, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation in our calculation of organic net sales growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include employee compensation and benefits, rent and facility related expenses, fleet related expenses including fuel costs, advertising, and other administrative expenses, such as insurance, legal, accounting and information technology costs. The slight decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the prior year was primarily due to lower overall operating costs, reflective of realized savings from our initial cost reduction initiatives and reduced activity from changes in demand. Partially offsetting these decreases was approximately $6.5 million of incremental selling, general and administrative expenses from acquisitions and $5.5 million of transaction costs related to the pending merger with The Home Depot. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of our net sales during the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to operating cost inflation and costs related to the pending merger with The Home Depot.

The increase in depreciation expense during the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to incremental expense resulting from property and equipment obtained in acquisitions and capital expenditures over the past year. The increase in amortization expense during the three months ended July 31, 2025 was primarily due to incremental expense resulting from definite-lived intangible assets obtained in acquisitions over the past year, partially offset by the time-based progression of our use of the accelerated method of amortization for acquired customer relationships.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Summary
We
depend on cash flow from operations, cash on hand and funds available under our ABL Facility to finance working capital needs, capital expenditures and acquisitions. We believe that these sources of funds will be adequate to fund debt service requirements and provide cash, as required, to support our growth strategies, ongoing operations, share repurchases, capital expenditures, lease obligations and working capital for at least the next twelve months and in the long term. We also believe we would be able to take measures to preserve liquidity should there be an economic downturn, recession or other disruption to our business in the future.
As of July 31, 2025, we had available borrowing capacity of approximately $619.2 million under our ABL Facility. The ABL Facility is scheduled to mature on December 22, 2027. The ABL Facility contains a cross-default provision with the senior secured first lien term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”).
On July 25, 2025, we delivered a notice of conditional full redemption (together with notices of conditional full redemption, delivered on each of August 8, 2025 and August 25, 2025, the “Redemption Notice”) to the holders of our outstanding senior unsecured notes due May 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). Pursuant to the Redemption Notice and the terms of the related indenture, we will redeem all $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Notes (the “Redemption”), at a redemption price of 101.156% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Redemption is conditioned upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement.
For more information regarding our ABL Facility and other indebtedness, see Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.
We regularly evaluate opportunities to optimize our capital structure, including through consideration of the issuance or incurrence of additional debt, to refinance existing debt and to fund ongoing cash needs such as general corporate purposes, growth initiatives, acquisitions and our stock repurchase program.

Operating Activities
The increase in cash used in operating activities during the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a decrease in net income and increase in cash used for working capital.
Investing Activities
The decrease in cash used in investing activities during the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a $117.0 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions.
Capital expenditures during the three months ended July 31, 2025 primarily consisted of the purchase of delivery and warehouse equipment, building and leasehold improvements, and IT-related spending. Capital expenditures vary depending on prevailing business factors, including current and anticipated market conditions.
Financing Activities
The decrease in cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to net borrowings of $46.1 million under our ABL Facility during the three months ended July 31, 2025, compared to net repayments of $90.2 million during the prior year period. Also contributing to the change was a $1.8 million increase in payments for principal on long-term debt and finance leases. Partially offsetting these was a $33.8 million decrease in repurchases of common stock during the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period.
Share Repurchase Program
On December 2, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of its outstanding common stock (such new repurchase program, the “2024 Repurchase Plan”). The 2024 Repurchase Plan replaces the Company’s previous share repurchase authorization of $250.0 million, which commenced in October 2023. See Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information regarding the 2024 Repurchase Plan.
We repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares of our common stock for $12.9 million pursuant to our repurchase plans during the three months ended July 31, 2025. As of July 31, 2025, we had $179.2 million of remaining purchase authorization under the 2024 Repurchase Plan.
Debt Covenants
The ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes contain a number of covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, as described in the respective credit agreement and the indenture, to incur more indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions; make investments; create restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to us or make other intercompany transfers; create liens securing indebtedness; transfer or sell assets; merge or consolidate; enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and prepay or amend the terms of certain indebtedness. Such covenants are subject to several important exceptions
34
and qualifications set forth in the ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of July 31, 2025.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, other than those made in the ordinary course of business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
During the three months ended July 31, 2025, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates or our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, we present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure and allocation, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments and acquisitions.
In addition, we utilize Adjusted EBITDA in certain calculations under our debt agreements. Our debt agreements permit us to make certain additional adjustments in calculating Consolidated EBITDA, such as projected net cost savings, which are not reflected in the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA margin measure when reporting their results. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.
We also include information concerning Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We present Adjusted EBITDA margin because it is used by management as a performance measure to judge the level of Adjusted EBITDA that is generated from net sales.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have their limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our exposure to market risks from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of July 31, 2025, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended July 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
37
PART II – Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in lawsuits that are brought against us in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that in management’s opinion would be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. For additional information, see Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The building materials industry has been subject to personal injury and property damage claims arising from alleged exposure to raw materials contained in building products as well as claims for incidents of catastrophic loss, such as building fires. As a distributor of building materials, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if the use of the products we have distributed in the past or may in the future distribute is alleged to have resulted in economic loss, personal injury or property damage or to have violated environmental, health or safety or other laws. Such product liability claims have included and may in the future include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability or a breach of warranties. Certain of our subsidiaries have been the subject of claims related to alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products they distributed prior to 1979. The vast majority of these suits that have been filed against us have been dismissed; however, we continue to have a number of active asbestos-related personal injury lawsuits against which we continue to vigorously defend ourselves. We do not expect the ultimate outcome of any of these lawsuits to have a material impact on our financial condition or operating results; however, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and rulings unfavorable to the Company could occur which could have a material impact on our financial condition or operating results. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—We are exposed to product liability, warranty, casualty, construction defect, contract, tort, personal injury, employment and other claims and legal proceedings related to our business, the products we distribute, the services we provide and services provided for us by third parties” listed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risks facing the Company as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.
Risks Related to the Pending Merger
The pending Merger subjects us to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following:
•
The Merger may not be completed on the anticipated terms or timeline, or at all
. The closing of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock and receipt of required antitrust approvals. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or that the Merger will be completed within the expected timeframe or at all. If the Merger is not completed, we may experience significant disruptions, including loss of key personnel, negative impacts on business relationships, and increased costs.
•
While the Merger is pending, we are subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions
. The business uncertainties and contractual restrictions in effect while the Merger is pending may adversely affect our relationships with customers, suppliers, and other business partners. We may experience reduced customer confidence, or changes in supplier terms. We may also be subject to restrictions on its business activities due to contractual restrictions under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which could impact the ability to pursue certain business opportunities or respond to changing market conditions.
•
In connection with the Merger, our current and prospective employees could experience uncertainty about their future with us
. In connection with the Merger, our current and prospective employees could experience uncertainty about their future with us or decide that they do not want to continue their employment. As a result, key employees may depart because of issues relating to such uncertainty or a desire not to remain with GMS following the completion of the Merger. The loss of officers or employees could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Such adverse effects could also be increased by a delay in the completion of the Merger for any reason. We may also experience challenges in hiring new employees during the pendency of the Merger, or if the Merger Agreement is terminated, which could harm our ability to grow our business, execute on our business plans or enhance our operations.
38
•
Litigation related to the Merger could result in significant costs and delay or prevent completion of the Merger
. We currently are, and may be in the future, subject to lawsuits or other legal proceedings related to the Merger, which could result in significant costs, divert management’s attention, and delay or prevent the completion of the Merger. Regardless of the outcome of any current or future litigation related to the Merger, such litigation may be time-consuming and expensive and may distract our management from running the day-to-day operations of our business. The litigation costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources to address the claims and counterclaims in any litigation related to the Merger may adversely affect our business, results of operations, prospects, and financial condition. If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, litigation could be filed in connection with the failure to consummate the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement. Any litigation related to the Merger may result in negative publicity or an unfavorable impression of us, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock, impair our ability to recruit or retain employees, damage our relationships with our customers and channel partners, and other business partners, or otherwise harm our operations and financial performance.
•
If the Merger is not completed, GMS’ stock price may decline and we may be adversely affected
. The market price of GMS’ common stock may reflect a market assumption that the Merger will be completed. If the Merger is not completed, the price of GMS’ common stock could decline significantly, and we may be subject to additional risks, including loss of key personnel, negative impacts on business relationships, and increased difficulty in attracting and retaining employees and business partners. In addition, a failed transaction may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us among our suppliers, customers or in the investment community or business community generally.
•
Our stockholders will not benefit from future growth opportunities as stockholders of GMS if the Merger is completed
. If the Merger is completed, stockholders will receive cash for their shares of common stock and will no longer have the opportunity to participate in any future growth or potential appreciation in the value of GMS.
•
We may incur significant costs and expenses related to the Merger
. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant costs in connection with the Merger, including legal, financial advisory, accounting, and other transaction-related expenses, regardless of whether the Merger is completed.
•
We may be required to pay a termination fee under certain circumstances
. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay a termination fee, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights in favor of each of GMS and The Home Depot, including among others GMS’ right, subject to certain limitations, to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances to accept a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and The Home Depot’s right to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Board changes its recommendation that GMS’ stockholders tender their shares of common stock in the Offer. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, we will be required to pay The Home Depot a termination fee of $147.5 million.
For additional information regarding the pending Merger, see Note 2 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and GMS’ other filings with the SEC.
