Installed Building Products’s quarterly revenue was up 2.3% on a year-over-year basis.

Here are the key takeaways from Installed Building Products’ conference call:

• Positive Sentiment: Consolidated revenue increased 2% to $778 million, supported by acquisitions and growth in commercial installation, manufacturing, and distribution.

• Negative Sentiment: Residential conditions remained challenging: installation same-branch sales declined 2%, including a 6% drop in new residential, as affordability concerns and weak consumer confidence pressured demand.
• Neutral Sentiment: Adjusted gross margin declined to 33.3% from 34.2%, mainly due to higher fuel costs and the growing mix of lower-margin distribution and manufacturing revenue, although management expects spray-foam pricing to become more beneficial in the second half.
