march 31, 2023 declared annual variable dividend of $0.90 per share which was paid to shareholders on march 31, 2023 recent developments ibp’s board of directors declared the second quarter regular cash dividend of $0.33 per share “ibp produced record first-quarter sales and profitability due to the exceptional effort of our employees and the excellent service they provide our residential and commercial customers each day. first-quarter sales benefited from our recent acquisitions and robust same branch growth within our multifamily and light commercial end markets. the ongoing strength in multifamily helped drive first-quarter residential sales growth of 7.4%, more than offsetting deceleration in our single-family revenue growth,” stated jeff edwards, chairman and chief executive officer. mr. edwards continued, “our first quarter’s top-line performance is especially encouraging, as we continued to prioritize installation job profitability over volume. this focused execution helped drive increases in our gross profit margin.” “despite continued economic volatility, we believe the residential housing market will remain resilient through the remainder of 2023 as a result of strong employment trends and relatively low existing home inventory levels. we continue to believe we are well positioned to navigate the cyclicality of the u.s. housing market given our strong customer relationships, experienced leadership team, national scale, and diverse product categories and end markets. in addition, our strong balance sheet and high operating cash flow generating capability, support ongoing acquisition activity, dividend distributions, and opportunistic share repurchases,” concluded mr. edwards. acquisition update ibp continues to prioritize profitable growth through its proven strategy of acquiring well-run installers of insulation and complementary building products. to date in 2023, ibp has acquired approximately $46 million of annual revenue and expects to acquire at least $100 million of revenue for the full year. during the 2023 first quarter and in april, ibp completed the following acquisitions: in february 2023, ibp acquired four state insulation, inc., a residential installer of fiberglass and spray foam insulation with locations in maryland and west virginia, serving customers across its home states as well as virginia and delaware with annual revenue of approximately $4 million. in march 2023, ibp acquired anchor insulation co., inc., a rhode island-based installer of residential, mechanical and industrial insulation serving residential, commercial and industrial customers across the northeast from branches in rhode island, connecticut, and massachusetts with annual revenue of approximately $39 million. in april 2023, ibp acquired insulco insulation, llc., a florida-based installer of fiberglass and spray foam insulation serving residential and commercial customers with annual revenue of approximately $3 million. 2023 second quarter cash dividend ibp’s board of directors has approved the company’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share, payable on june 30, 2023, to stockholders of record on june 15, 2023. the second quarter regular cash dividend represents a 5% increase from last year’s second-quarter cash dividend payment. first quarter 2023 results overview for the first quarter of 2023, net revenue was a quarterly record of $659.3 million, an increase of 12.2% from $587.5 million for the first quarter of 2022. on a consolidated same branch basis, net revenue improved 7.1% from the prior year quarter, which was partially attributable to a 16.5% increase in price/mix during the first quarter, relative to the same period last year. residential sales growth within our installation segment was 3.8% on a same branch basis in the quarter, with continued growth of 37.9% in our multifamily end market contributing meaningfully to the same branch sales. commercial same branch sales growth continued to improve, increasing 22.4% from the prior year quarter. gross profit improved 22.1% to $210.4 million from $172.4 million in the prior year quarter. adjusted gross profit* as a percent of total revenue was 31.9%, which primarily adjusts for the company’s share-based compensation expense, compared to 29.4% for the same period last year. selling and administrative expense, as a percent of net revenue, was 18.5% compared to 17.8% in the prior year quarter. adjusted selling and administrative expense*, as a percent of net revenue, was 17.9% compared to 16.9% in the prior year quarter. net income was $49.3 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, compared to $33.8 million, or $1.14 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. adjusted net income* was $60.7 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, compared to $45.7 million, or $1.54 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. adjusted net income accounts for the impact of non-core items in both periods, including an addback for non-cash amortization expense related to acquisitions. adjusted ebitda* was $105.0 million, a 24.7% increase from $84.2 million in the prior year quarter, largely due to continued sales growth and higher gross margin. conference call and webcast the company will host a conference call and webcast on may 4, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. eastern time to discuss these results. to participate in

administrative expense measure performance by adjusting ebitda, gaap net income, gross profit and selling and administrative expense, respectively, for certain income or expense items that are not considered part of our core operations. we believe that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists both investors and us in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. we believe the adjusted ebitda measure is useful to investors and us as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as it measures our changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that impact operating performance, and removes the effect of our capital structure (primarily interest expense), asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), items outside our control (primarily income taxes) and the volatility related to the timing and extent of other activities such as asset impairments and non-core income and expenses. accordingly, we believe that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. in addition, we use various ebitda-based measures in determining the achievement of awards under certain of our incentive compensation programs. other companies may define adjusted ebitda differently and, as a result, our measure may not be directly comparable to measures of other companies. in addition, adjusted ebitda may be defined differently for purposes of covenants contained in our revolving credit facility or any future facility. although we use the adjusted ebitda measure to assess the performance of our business, the use of the measure is limited because it does not include certain material expenses, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. adjusted ebitda should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, gaap net income as a measure of performance. our presentation of this measure should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. this measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under gaap. because of these limitations, this measure is not intended as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance, as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity with gaap or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. you should therefore not place undue reliance on this measure or ratios calculated using this measure. we also believe the adjusted net income measure is useful to investors and us as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period as it measures our changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that impact operating performance, and removes the effect of certain non-core items such as discontinued operations, acquisition related expenses, amortization expense, the tax impact of these certain non-core items, and the volatility related to the timing and extent of other activities such as asset impairments and non-core income and expenses. to make the financial presentation more consistent with other public building products companies, beginning in the fourth quarter 2016 we included an addback for non-cash amortization expense related to acquisitions. accordingly, we believe that this measure is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period. other companies may define adjusted net income differently and, as a result, our measure may not be directly comparable to measures of other companies. in addition, adjusted net income may be defined differently for purposes of covenants contained in our revolving credit facility or any future facility. installed building
