It was a good Q2 performance for Beacon Roofing Supply Inc., especially for its ecommerce sales.

For the fiscal second quarter ended June 30, sales grew to $2.67 billion. That’s up 6.8% from Beacon Supply’s $2.50 billion in the prior year’s Q2. Net income was $127.2 million. That was down from $153.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Beacon Roofing Q2 ecommerce sales

As in previous quarters, Beacon Roofing continues to place an emphasis on growing digital commerce.

“In the second quarter, we grew digital sales by approximately 22% year over year. Digital sales to our residential customers were a highlight as we achieved our highest quarterly adoption ever at 26%,” CEO Julian Francis told analysts on an earnings call. “We continue to invest to strengthen our platform.”

After Q2, in late July, Beacon Roofing Supply gave contractors that use its ecommerce site a new tool that offers a bird’s eye view of the projects on which they are working.

Beacon Roofing is one of the largest roofing material distributors. It is partnering with EagleView, which provides aerial imagery, software, and analytics. Together, they are going to integrate EagleView’s detailed roof measurements with Beacon’s ecommerce platform.

“Just last week commenced an enhanced alliance with EagleView, a leading provider of aerial imagery, software and analytics,” he told analysts. “This collaboration makes it easier for contractors to quickly and accurately place digital orders, allowing them to run their businesses more efficiently and as such, choose Beacon as their supply partner.”
