Trump to impose 100% tariff on China starting November 1
DAYTONA BEACH - TopBuild Corp. (NYSE:BLD), a construction industry leader with a market capitalization of $11.1 billion and an InvestingPro Financial Health score of "GREAT," has acquired Specialty Products and Insulation (SPI) for $1 billion in cash, the company announced Wednesday. The transaction, which closed on October 7, was funded with cash on hand, including proceeds from a September senior notes issuance.
SPI, a specialty distributor and fabricator of mechanical insulation solutions based in Charlotte, North Carolina, generated approximately $700 million in revenue and $75 million in EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025. The acquisition excludes SPI’s metal building insulation business. TopBuild’s strong liquidity position, with a current ratio of 2.83 and moderate debt levels, positions it well for this strategic acquisition.
The transaction represents approximately 12.4x SPI’s trailing twelve-month EBITDA, inclusive of a $70 million tax asset. TopBuild expects to realize $35-40 million in annual run-rate cost synergies within two years, which would reduce the transaction multiple to 8.3x EBITDA.
"The SPI acquisition is highly strategic for TopBuild," said Robert Buck, President and Chief Executive Officer of TopBuild. "The addition of SPI’s resources and capabilities further enhances our customer value proposition while its complementary fabrication footprint strengthens and expands our presence across North America."
SPI employs approximately 1,000 people across 90 branches and serves customers throughout North America. According to the company, approximately 87% of SPI’s revenue comes from commercial and industrial end markets, with about 55% driven by recurring maintenance and repair.
The acquisition extends TopBuild’s geographic footprint and expands its mechanical insulation fabrication capabilities. The company stated that the transaction is immediately accretive to earnings per share.
