2. Safe Harbor & Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Cautionary Notice
Statements in this presentation which are not purely historical facts or which necessarily depend upon future events,
including statements about forecasted financial performance or other statements about anticipations, beliefs, expectations,
hopes, intentions or strategies for the future, may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this presentation
are based upon information available to Builders FirstSource, Inc. on the date of this presentation. Except as required by
law, Builders FirstSource, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the
forward-looking statements, including risks or uncertainties related to the Company’s revenues and operating results
being highly dependent on, among other things, the homebuilding industry, lumber prices and the economy. Builders
FirstSource, Inc. may not succeed in addressing these and other risks. Further information regarding factors that could
affect our financial and other results can be found in the risk factors section of Builders FirstSource, Inc.’s most recent
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Consequently, all forward-looking statements in this
presentation are qualified by the factors, risks and uncertainties contained therein
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) in order to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our
operating results in a manner that enables investors to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to
past performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a better baseline for modeling our future
earnings expectations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures for the same purpose. We believe that our
investors should have access to the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures
should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute
for or superior to GAAP results. Our calculations of non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other companies. Schedules that reconcile non-GAAP financial
measures to their GAAP equivalents are included later in this presentation.

12. The Macro Environment
The residential new construction market has experienced a substantial downturn in recent
years as a result of the recession
The downturn resulted in the largest decline in housing starts since the Great Depression
falling by 74% from the 2005 peak to the current trough
Building products sales have had a corresponding decline
Trends that will drive a recovery in U.S. housing demand include:
Low interest rates, the aging of housing stock, and population growth due to
immigration and birthrates exceeding death rates
The National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”) is predicting that for 2012 U.S.
housing starts will grow approximately 19% from 2011, with approximately 519,000
single family housing starts predicted
NAHB predicts single family housing starts will increase to 668,000 in 2013,
representing a 29% increase over the 2012 forecast
BFS is well positioned to take advantage of anticipated renewed demand
11
13. Commodity Price Trends
Commodity prices have steadily increased from the beginning of the year. Higher commodity prices
will typically result in increased gross profit dollars and improved EBITDA flow through.

16. Fully Integrated Distribution Platform
BFS has an integrated business model that differentiates it from
competitors that operate with a decentralized collection of facilities
Network of 53 distribution centers and 44 manufacturing facilities, some which are co-
located
Size of facilities tailored to each market to meet customer needs
Offering large-scale, full-service branches in larger markets and smaller, more tailored
facilities in secondary markets
Highly customized, proprietary information technology system drives internal efficiencies
allowing the Company to respond rapidly to customers and reduce their costs
BFS operates and owns the source code to its Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”)
computer system that is tailored to the building supply industry in addition to laser
technology that facilitates precision, speed and efficiency in the manufacturing process

17. Full Offering of Manufactured Products and

Due to the breadth of its product offering (63,000 SKUs), BFS functions as a “one-stop shop”
Homebuilders value the convenience and efficiency of using one supplier throughout building process

framing and shell construction and design
BFS’s salespeople are typically trained homebuilders who understand the challenges that might be

21. Review of 2011 Operating Results
Sales for 2011 were 11.2% higher than 2010 primarily due to increased sales volume
Comparing our sales growth to an 8.6% decline in U.S. single family housing starts indicates
significant market share gains
For the year, gross margins increased 150 bps, from 18.8% in 2010 to 20.3% in 2011
Margins improved 90 bps due to increased sales volume and our ability to leverage fixed costs
in cost of goods sold
Improving customer pricing, coupled with less volatility in the commodity market also
contributed to margin improvement
Margins are positioned to expand further due to operating leverage upon increased builder
demand as well as an improved commodity inventory position
Selling, general, and administrative expenses have been monitored closely by management and as a
percentage of sales decreased from 27.3% in 2010 to 24.2% in 2011 (excluding stock compensation
expense and 2010 litigation settlement)
20
22. Summary Financial Performance
After declines in 2007-2009, revenues stabilized in 2010 and grew 11% in 2011
Historical margins demonstrate the potential for expansion from current margins as the
business builds toward historical scale and leverages a leaner cost structure
Proven ability to conserve capital through tight working capital management and reduced
capital spending

24. Market Share Gains
BFS sales per South Region single-family housing start for FY 2011 grew 20%
year-over-year.
Gains continued in 1H 2012 as sales per single-family start grew 11% compared
to 1H 2011.

25. Sales & Adjusted EBITDA Trends
Consistent sales and adjusted EBITDA growth
Four straight quarters of y/o/y sales growth
Six straight quarters of y/o/y adjusted EBITDA improvement
In 2Q 2012, achieved positive adjusted EBITDA for the first time in 19 quarters
and breakeven for 1H 2012
24
26. June YTD 2012 Update
Sales for 1H 2012 were $491.3 million, a 33.1% increase over sales of $369.2 million for 1H 2011
Sales growth was primarily driven by volume
U.S. single family housing starts (South region) were up only 20.3% over the same period
U.S. single family units under construction (South region) were down 0.7% over the same
period
Combination of these data points, indicate market share gains
Gross margins were 20.1% for both six month periods, as increased sales volume was offset by
commodity lumber price inflation, particularly in 2Q 2012, relative to quarterly customer pricing
commitments. Higher than expected sales volume resulted in us replacing inventory during the latter
half of the quarter at higher costs.
2Q 2012 Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million, achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA for the first
time in 19 quarters
At June 30, 2012, our LTM Adjusted EBITDA had improved $27.8 million – ($4.0) million
compared to ($31.8) million for the same period in 2011
