Building materials distributor Builders FirstSource Inc. (NYSE: BLDR), Dallas, reported second-quarter sales of $5.6 billion, a 90.6% increase from the same quarter a year ago due to its 2020 merger with BMC Stock Holdings.

“Demand in single-family housing remains exceptionally strong and we continue to capitalize on this positive trend while ensuring we meet the needs of our customers,” said Dave Flitman, CEO of Builders FirstSource. “The BMC integration continues to progress exceptionally well, and our realization of cost synergies is ahead of schedule.

We acquired Alliance Lumber in Arizona and we are thrilled to be welcoming those new associates to the BFS team. Our future is bright, our hunger to innovate has never been stronger, and we will continue going above and beyond for our customers and partners to provide best-in-class homebuilding solutions.”
