 customer needs. The scale of its business provides branch coverage, technology enablement, and investment in its team that is the foundation of customer service excellence. In addition, service is further enhanced by the Beacon OTC® Network and market-based sales teams. The Company believes it also provides the most complete digital commerce platform in roofing distribution, creating value for customers who are able to operate their businesses more effectively and efficiently.

Beacon’s mission is to empower its customers to build more for their customers, businesses, and communities. Beacon’s project lifecycle support helps its customers find projects, land the job, do the work, and close projects out by providing guidance that allows its customers to deliver on project specifications and timelines that are critical to their success. Using an omni-channel approach and its Beacon PRO+® digital suite, Beacon differentiates its services and drives customer retention. Beacon’s customer base is composed of professional contractors, home builders, building owners, lumberyards, and retailers across the U.S. and Canada who depend on reliable local access to exterior building products for residential and non-residential projects. Beacon’s customers vary in size, ranging from relatively small contractors to large contractors and builders that operate on a national scale.

As of December 31, 2024, Beacon operated 586 branches, which it designates as either standalone or co-located. A co-located branch shares all or a portion of a physical location with a standalone branch, but it records sales separately (to a different customer base and/or through different product offerings from the standalone branch) and generally operates with independent employees and inventory.

When referring to organic growth, Beacon includes growth from existing branches and greenfields but excludes growth from acquired branches until they have been reclassified to existing as described further below.

Acquired branches The results of operations of acquired branches are designated as such until they have been under Beacon’s ownership and have contributed to its results of operations for at least 12 calendar months (treating partial months as full months), after which such branches are classified as existing. Therefore, the prior year results of operations for branches are reclassified to existing when the comparable current month’s financial results are also classified as existing. Under this branch classification methodology, a branch’s results of operations can be classified as
