Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Joseph Nowicki to depart later this fiscal year
Beacon Roofing Supply, Inc. (BECN) (Beacon or the Company) announced results today for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 (2019). The Company also announced that Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Joseph Nowicki will leave the Company later this fiscal year to shift focus to his family, charitable work and Board service. Mr. Nowicki will remain CFO during the Companys nationwide search for his successor and will support the transition of his duties until his departure.
Julian Francis, Beacons new President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: In joining Beacon, I recognize the great opportunity offered by this industry and the Companys demonstrated long-term growth, EBITDA margins and operating cash flow. We are now pivoting from a growth run via acquisitions to a focus on organic growth, gross margin expansion and operating expense rigor. Several positive elements are evident in our fourth quarter performance, including 11.5% organic daily sales growth in residential roofing, continued strong operating cash flow, and positive SG&A expense leverage. I see tremendous opportunities to substantially improve upon Beacons financial performance. Operationally, I am turning immediate focus to growing our customer base, differentiating e-commerce capabilities through our digital platform, and enhancing the productivity of our branch network. We are just getting started, and I am proud to lead Beacon forward into this exciting next stage of growth.
