Robert E. Mellor, chairman, president and CEO, said: “We clearly experienced the effects of a significant slowdown in the housing market and falling commodity wood prices. However, continued strength in certain key markets, including the Intermountain region and Texas and an improvement in our sales mix helped us maintain gross margins. During the quarter, we continued our emphasis on gaining market share and completed two acquisitions which have further diversified our operations. Overall, we are pleased with the results we have achieved year-to-date and we will continue to focus on the integration of the 14 acquisitions we completed during 2006 and 2005.”
