           In 2022, we continued to execute on our strategic initiatives to enhance our attractive footprint and advance the goals
           included in our latest five-year strategic plan, SOAR (Strategic Operating Analysis and Review) 2025, which was
           developed in 2020. The SOAR process, supplemented by our annual planning process, has guided us since 2010 as we
           have grown the business in an intentional, contemplative, and disciplined manner. SOAR 2025 set ambitious yet
           achievable targets for future growth and value creation, and the four acquisitions completed in 2021 as well as the two
           divestitures completed in 2022 were all well aligned with our SOAR 2025 goals. Importantly, the company’s strategic
           efforts and proactive balance sheet management in 2022 provide a platform for continued expansion in future years.

                                                                          ($2.64 per share on an annualized basis),

                   Record-setting results from 2012 to 2022 yielded       and repurchases, exiting the year with a 2.49x

                   return of 227% during the same period

           performance of the Building Materials Industry Group in the five most recent 3-year periods.
