For the full year, sales jumped 132.4% to nearly $20 billion. Commodity price inflation contributed 30.2% to net sales, while core organic sales increased by 20.6%.
Acquisitions completed during 2021, excluding the BMC merger, contributed net sales growth of 5.4%, while the numbers of selling days reduced net sales growth by 0.4%, Builders FirstSource reported.
