The company also provides complementary, value-added consultative services to support product offering and to help customers operate and grow their businesses. Based on net sales for the period ended December 28, 2014, or the 2014 fiscal year, SiteOne estimates that it is nearly four times the size of its largest competitor and larger than the next two through 10 competitors combined.

Based on management’s estimate, the company believes that it has either the number one or number two local market position in nearly 80% of metropolitan statistical areas where it has one or more branches. Market leadership, coast-to-coast presence, broad product selection and extensive technical expertise provide SiteOne with significant competitive advantages and create a compelling value proposition for both customers and suppliers.

The company intends to use the net proceeds from its offering to pay down a portion of its indebtedness, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
