BuildDirect Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

BuildDirect.com Technologies Inc. (“BuildDirect” or the “Company”) a growing omnichannel building material retailer, announced its financial results for the Second Quarter 2022 (“Q2 2022”).

“I am pleased to report that BuildDirect continues to grow its Pro Customer base, increasing Pro revenue 6% quarter over quarter, and improving its overall profitability” said David Lazar, interim CEO of BuildDirect. “Our strategic execution is delivering value with revenues reaching $24.1 million, of which 82.6% are Pro-based. We also achieved positive adjusted EBITDA, largely due to our push to reallocate resources to Pro and drive acquisition synergies. Further, at the end of Q2 2022 and subsequent to quarter end, the Company made further cost reductions that will allow the Company to recognize approximately US $2 million in annualized operating expense savings. The cost reductions were primarily focused within the BuildDirect ecommerce business as the Company continues to shift its focus to the Pro market segment. Looking forward to the third quarter, we will continue to invest in the Pro market, extract financial and operational synergies from our acquisitions, and leverage our heavyweight omnichannel business model.”
