DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Nov. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TopBuild Corp. (NYSE: BLD), the leading purchaser, installer and distributor of insulation products to the United States construction industry, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Jerry Volas, Chief Executive Officer of TopBuild stated, "We continue to successfully leverage our existing platform to generate sales growth, outpacing the increase in lagged housing starts. We believe the trajectory of housing starts will continue to be positive, as there is a limited supply of new construction, and increasing household formations are driving demand. This is an excellent external environment for TopBuild to drive market share and sales growth.

"Our operational improvement initiatives are also generating positive results. The 8.7% adjusted operating margin for the third quarter is an increase of 140 basis points year-over-year and 230 basis points sequentially. Year-to-date, our adjusted operating profit margin has expanded 200 basis points. In summary, we remain focused on balancing top line growth with margin performance."

Third Quarter Financial Highlights
(unless otherwise indicated, comparisons are to the quarter ended September 30, 2015)

Net sales increased 5.9% to $453.1 million, primarily driven by sales volume growth in both operating segments.
