GMS--
The company's revenue reached $1.41 billion, slightly above the consensus of $1.4 billion, but down 2.4% from $1.45 billion in the same quarter a year ago. The revenue decrease was primarily driven by a 5.4% year-over-year drop in wallboard sales to $556.4 million and a 6.3% decline in steel framing sales to $196.6 million. Ceiling products, however, climbed 6.6% year-over-year to $220.9 million.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $135.5 million, with a margin of 9.6%, compared to 10.1% in Q1 2025. On a per-day basis, organic sales fell 4.9%, reflecting persistent challenges in the construction materials sector. GMS closed the quarter with $39.9 million in cash and $1.31 billion in total debt, resulting in a net debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.6x, up from 2.1x in the prior-year period.
GMS Inc. operates a network of over 300 distribution centers across the US and Canada, offering a range of products including wallboard, ceilings, steel framing, and complementary construction products.
