This is the leading North American distributor of wallboard and suspended ceilings systems. Its product offerings are designed to provide a comprehensive solution for its core customer, the interior contractor who installs these products in commercial and residential buildings.
Since its founding in 1971, it has grown its business from a single location to over 200 branches across 42 states through a combination of both organic growth and acquisitions. Over time, the company has increased its market share in the distribution of wallboard and ceilings, which management currently estimates is 15% for wallboard, based on volume produced in the United States and Canada, and 17% for ceilings, based on sales dollars in North America.
In the filing, GMS detailed its finances as follows:
For fiscal 2016, we generated $1.9 billion in net sales, $12.6 million of net income and $138.2 million of Adjusted EBITDA. … Net sales and Adjusted EBITDA grew 18.3% and 30.6%, respectively, in fiscal 2016 as compared to fiscal 2015. From the beginning of fiscal 2013 through fiscal 2016, net sales and Adjusted EBITDA grew at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 17.0% and 43.7%, respectively.
The company will not receive any proceeds from the offering; instead the selling stockholders will receive all the proceeds.
