A recovery in the U.S. housing market has spurred an increase in Building Products M&A transactions in recent months – in 2016, there were 295 reported Building Products M&A transactions in the U.S. and Canada (see figure 8, page 3). In addition to continued sector growth, there are several supplemental factors that should spur sector expansion and consolidation: (1) Single-family housing starts remain well below pre-recession levels, indicating a favorable outlook for continued growth in coming years; (2) Aging commercial building stock represents a sustainable addressable market for renovation and reuse projects; and (3) Macroeconomic trends, including historically low interest rates, low gas prices, rising income and low unemployment all contribute to increased home improvement spend. Corporate balance sheets continue to hold record amounts of capital enabling them to focus on consolidation and geographic expansion and financial sponsors continue to have significant dry powder, aligning forces for a strong M&A activity outlook. Macroeconomic Factors Providing Robust Industry Tailwinds Non-Residential Construction Spending Investment interest in Building Products manufacturers and distributors typically ebbs and flows with end market construction cycles. Dodge Data & Analytics predicts 6% construction growth in 2016, with the value of construction starts reaching $712 billion. Growth in the construction industry will continue to be led by privately financed projects, bolstered by robust commercial construction – the value of private non- residential construction is projected to increase at a 2.1% 5-year CAGR to $488.1 billion in 2021 (see figure 1). With 81.6% of commercial buildings in the U.S. having been built prior to 2000, a substantial addressable market exists for renovation projects that will drive commercial construction in the near future (see figure 2). Furthermore, the Architectural Billings Index, a leading indicator for non-residential construction activity has been greater than 50 in 40 of 47 months since January 2013, indicating an increased level of interest in new building construction (see figure 3).

The National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”) forecasts single-family production to expand by more than 10% in 2016 – builder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes in December 2016 was at its highest level since 2005. New housing starts have grown consistently since 2009; 1.1 million new privately owned housing units started in 2016, representing a 10% 5-year CAGR. Despite decreasing multifamily housing starts, single-family housing starts have yet to reach the levels recorded in the prior decade. New household formations (“HF”) are a critical indicator in the housing market and explain some of the slow recovery in single-family starts. Even though HF figures have tripled since the 2008-2009 period, the ratio of Housing Units Started per HF remains below its 35-year historical average of 1.3 and has been so for five of the past six years (see figures 4 & 5).
