Estimates Context

Consensus vs actuals for Q2 2025 (S&P Global consensus; company-reported actuals)

Primary EPS ($)$0.0406*$0.11 (Adjusted Diluted EPS)
Gross Margin (%)24.45%*25.3% (Adjusted Gross Margin)

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Q2 establishes the Beacon platform within QXO, with a diversified roofing/complementary mix and $1.91B revenue in just a partial-quarter contribution .
  • Non-GAAP profitability outperformed expectations (Adj EPS and margin above consensus), while GAAP losses reflect transitory integration and purchase accounting costs (inventory step-up, transaction/restructuring, debt extinguishment) likely to fade across 2H25/2026 .
  • Management’s synergy ambition is assertive—aiming to at least double legacy Beacon EBITDA organically—framing upside to medium-term estimates if execution on pricing/procurement/logistics is delivered .
  • Capital structure reset is substantial but manageable: large equity/preferred issuances and debt raised, followed by early deleveraging ($1.4B term loan repayment) and net debt ~ $1.2B at quarter-end .
  • Digital/commercial levers are in motion (Roofr real-time pricing and ordering integration), supporting share gains and salesforce productivity as systems integrate .
  • Lack of formal guidance keeps near-term estimate dispersion higher; watch for cadence of step-up amortization flowing through COGS to subside by YE 2025 and for integration cost curves to roll off .
  • Near-term catalysts: continued integration updates and margin progress, additional deleveraging moves, and any incremental digital/automation wins with customers .
