Gross profit increased 21.7% to $91.7 million in 2005 from $75.4 million in 2004. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales declined from 25.8% to 24.7% due primarily to the substantial increase in lower-margin non-residential roofing sales and the inclusion of JGA and its product mix.

SG&A expenses increased $11.5 million or 20.2% in 2005 compared to 2004 but declined as a percentage of net sales to 18.5% in 2005 from 19.6% in 2004. The dollar increase was primarily due to the inclusion of JGA's expenses since mid-December, higher transportation and payroll costs associated with higher fuel costs and the sales volume increase, and higher professional fees for the factors mentioned above for the second quarter.

Operating income increased 29.1% to $22.8 million in 2005 from $17.7 million in 2004. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 6.1% from 6.0%. Interest expense declined $4.9 million to $2.1 million in 2005, primarily from a lower debt level after the Company's IPO.

The net loss in 2004 included the $3.3 million charge ($2.0 million net of tax) for the early retirement of debt and an $11.0 million non-deductible charge for the change in the value of the Company's warrant derivatives.

Diluted net income per share for the first half was $0.41 in 2005 compared to a loss of $0.39 per share in 2004.
