BMSA Associate member BlueLinx reported strong third quarter financial results, including a 28.3% year-over-year (YOY) increase in net sales and a significant YOY growth in net income. Net sales rose to $871 million in the fiscal third quarter, compared to $679 million from the third quarter in 2019. The company also reported gross profit increased $65 million YOY to $159 million in the fiscal third quarter, according to their quarter earnings report. BlueLinx said net sales during the quarter benefited from “historic price inflation” across several key wood-based commodities, which particularly benefited sales of structural products. The impact of wood-based commodity price inflation on structural product net sales is estimated to have increased overall net sales between $105 million and $115 million in the quarter, according to BlueLinx.
