Installed Building Products, Inc. (NYSE:IBP) Q4 2022 Earnings Call Transcript

Jason Niswonger: Yeah, this is this is Jason. Hi, Mike. I will say that Inflation Reduction Act that does provide us opportunity on the repair and remodel side, but as we pointed out it is a bit disruptive, and it’s more so a fat majority of our business. Our installers are used to go into a job site, not into somebody’s home. So it is something that well we do have and see opportunity from the Reduction Act in terms of what it could mean for us in terms of providing some stability or upside opportunity. It is not necessarily a widespread or a nationwide opportunity for us.

Mike Dahl: Got it. Okay, thank you.

Jason Niswonger: I would say though just on that is that the Inflation Reduction Act really doesn’t have the financial impact or wound. It’s just starting to have it now because the increases in credits that you receive that those increases went into effect January 01 of ’23 and are in the fourth quarter, the repair and remodel business as we met –as Jeff mentioned in his prepared remarks, it was up almost 50% and is now almost 9% of our overall revenue. So if we — when we think about interesting opportunities in from a sales growth perspective in ’23, we certainly are encouraged by the strength that we’ve seen in both — and continue to see in both repair and remodel and multifamily, which on a combined basis are over 20% of revenues.

Mike Dahl: Okay, alright, thanks for that additional color.

Operator: Our next question is from Rooms with Stephens. Please proceed.

UnidentifiedAnalyst: Good morning. This is actually . Thanks for taking my questions. So first, pricing really strong this past year in ’22, I was hoping you could maybe quantify something without any additional pricing actions in ’23. How much carryover benefit does pricing achieved in ’22 contribute to growth this year?

Michael Miller: You mean how much carry over is there still left to realize in ’23?

UnidentifiedAnalyst: Right, because given the timing of price increases, partially through last year. Just what at a minimum can we expect?

Michael Miller: Well, we don’t provide guidance. It would, I would say that each quarter, it’s going to come down, which is an obvious statement. As we’re going through this first quarter, we are continuing to realize good price mix.

UnidentifiedAnalyst: Got it. That’s helpful, and I appreciate that you don’t give guidance and thank you for all the prior commentary on price and volume, as we look to ’23, but given that that there’s some risk of volume in 2Q, 3Q, maybe even 4Q, still getting a little price. Is it unreasonable to expect that you can grow overall revenue in ’23?

Jeffrey Edwards: Well, again, we don’t provide guidance, but that is really going to depend on what happens with the single family completions and the housing market as it unfolds and when I am saying the housing market, the single family market as it unfolds during the course of the year. While we have heavenly diversified our end market revenues, 60% of our revenue still new single family. So, I think the spring selling season is important this year. It’s important every year, but I think yeah, the focus on it is going to be higher this year than probably in past years and as we said earlier, we think that there’s very encouraging signs around a potential solid spring selling season and I think that will benefit the whole industry going through the course of ’23.

UnidentifiedAnalyst: Got it. Thank you. That’s helpful, and good luck with the rest of the year.

Operator: Our next question is from Adam Baumgarten with Zelman and Associates. Please proceed.
