Builders FirstSource posted first quarter 2026 net sales of $3.3 billion, down 10% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA of $214 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.5%, a 360 basis point contraction. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.27, well below the $0.39 consensus estimate, as gross margin compressed 220 basis points to 28.3%. Management characterized the quarter as landing at the upper end of its internal range on both sales and EBITDA, but acknowledged the macro backdrop deteriorated faster than anticipated, particularly following the outbreak of Middle East conflict that rattled consumer confidence and pushed mortgage rates higher during what should have been the spring selling season.
