job market and strong consumer confidence.
Single-family housing starts remain strong, but building permit
growth has been flat, raising doubts about the sustainability of the
growth.
Housing starts in the Midwest and West remain robust, while the
Northeast has fared poorly due to a decline in multi-family
construction.
Inventory of existing homes declined to 3.6 months of supply, a low

The 30-year mortgage rate remained steady for most of 2016; however, it increased sharply in
December due to the Fed increasing its target for short-term interest rates by 0.25%. The 30-year
rate is currently 4.32%. The low interest rates and anticipation of future rate increases spurred
refinancing activity in the second half of 2016; however, mortgage applications for new homes
dropped 14% in December from the prior month.

In December 2016, the CCI climbed to its highest level since 2001. After the uncertainty surrounding
the presidential election subsided, confidence soared, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to
record heights. The January CCI is up 14.3% from a year ago.
The HMI, a measure of builder confidence, increased to 67 in January 2017 from 61 a year ago.
This level of builder’s confidence has not been seen since 2005. The HMI has now been above 50
for 31 consecutive months, indicating strong future growth in the housing market.

Housing Starts
Continue Strong
Momentum
U.S. housing starts were up 4.9% in 2016 and reached the highest level since 2007. Housing starts
have remained above the million mark for 21 consecutive months.
U.S. housing starts in December were at a seasonally adjusted rate of 1,226,000, which is up
11.3% compared to a month ago and up 5.7% from the same period a year ago.
The primary drivers of the strong housing starts are low interest rates, an improving job market,
rising wages and faster household formations.
Single-family housing starts in 2016 were 780,900, which is 9.3% above the 2015 figure. Multi-
family housing starts decreased 3.0% year-over-year.

In 2016, the Midwest was the strongest performer with a 17.4% increase in housing starts, notching
gains in both single-family and multi-family construction. The West also performed well in 2016,
recording a 7.7% increase from the previous year. Housing starts in the South were up 5.3% in
2016 compared to a year ago.
Overall housing starts were dragged down by a weak market in the Northeast. In this region,
housing starts were down 15.6% compared to the same period a year ago due to a significant
decline in multi-family construction.

Produced Mixed
Results
Strong housing permit data was seen across the United States in 2016 in all regions but the
Northeast, which decreased 30.4%. The decline was caused by a large decrease in multi-
family homes, while single-family homes slightly increased.
The West and Midwest regions performed equally well, recording 9.7% and 9.6% increases,
respectively. Both regions saw an increase in single-family and multi-family home permits.
While the South saw a large increase in multi-family home permits, its overall increase in
permits was dragged down by a decrease in single-family homes.

New Home Sales: Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate

Source: U.S. Department of Commerce: Census Bureau
An estimated 563,000 new homes were sold in 2016, representing a 12.2% increase
above the 2015 figure of 501,000.
New home sales dropped in December to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 536,000,
which was 10.4% and 0.4% lower than November 2016 and December 2015, respectively.
The drop is believed to have been caused by rising home prices and mortgage rates.
The seasonally adjusted estimate of new houses for sale at the end of December was at
259,000, up 10.2% from 235,000 in December 2015. The supply is 5.8 months at the
current sales rate, which is higher than 5.2 months from a year ago.

Highest Levels
Since 2007
Existing home sales reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5,650,000 in November
2016, its highest level since 2007. Existing home sales decreased by 2.8% in December
due to low inventory levels, rising prices and increasing mortgage rates. While sales
decreased, they were still 0.7% above the December 2015 level.
Demand for housing was bolstered by first-time home buyers, which accounted for
approximately one-third of existing home sales. First-time buyers benefited from near
record low interest rates in 2016, an improving economy with steady job growth, and
record-high stock prices.
The inventory of existing homes decreased to 3.6 months in December, a low that has not
been seen in 17 years.

Prices Continue

The 10-city home price index was up 4.5% in November relative to a year ago, while the 20-city
home price index was up 5.6%.
November results reflect a steady upward trend in home prices that began at the beginning of 2012.
Increases in both indices have been boosted by a continuation of historically low mortgage rates
through most of 2016 and a shortage of existing home inventory.

*The LIRA represents the estimated annual rate of change in spending for the current quarter and subsequent three quarters. This annual or moving four-quarter rate
of change compares total spending in any given four-quarter period to the total spending that occurred in the four quarters prior to that period. *As of April 21, 2016,
the LIRA has undergone a major re benchmarking and recalculation in order to better forecast a broader segment of the national residential remodeling market
Source: Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University
According to the LIRA*, home improvement spending increased 6.9% in Q4 2016 and is
expected to increase 6.8% in Q1 2017. The rate of growth in home improvement is
forecasted to remain relatively stable in 2017, at approximately 6.8% per quarter,
according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University.
The expectation for another strong year for home improvements is likely due to the
upward trajectory of home sales, continued growth in remodeling permit activity and an
improving economy with steady job growth.

month a year ago. Residential building permits were down 1.6% to a seasonally adjusted rate
of $5.1 billion in November compared to the prior month, but were up 25% compared to the
same month a year ago. The increase in the non-residential sector was due to higher
construction intentions for educational facilities and nursing homes led by Quebec and
Ontario. On the residential front, the gains in building permits issued in British Columbia were
not sufficient to offset the decline posted in Alberta.

The MLS Home Price Index (HPI) rose 14.2% year-over-year in December and by 0.1% over
the previous month. Two-story, single-family home prices posted the largest year-over-year
gain of 16.1% followed by town houses at 15.4%. However, year-over-year gains have been
declining in recent months (y-o-y November: 14.4%; y-o-y October: 14.6%). This trend is
mainly due to a decline in house prices in British Columbia driven by the Vancouver market
where sales continue to plunge. According to the British Columbia Real Estate Association,
residential unit sales in December were down 28.4% compared to the same month last year.

Industry Insights: Building Products and Materials – Q1 2017
Quarterly M&A Activity
Reaches Highest
Level Since the Great
Recession
Note: Includes all transactions where the target is headquartered in the U.S. or Canada
Source: Capital IQ
M&A activity in the sector was strong in 2H 2016, particularly in the fourth quarter
with 69 completed transactions involving target companies headquartered in the
U.S. or Canada. This represents the highest level of quarterly M&A activity since
the recession.
The surge in activity was driven by an increase in willing sellers and the strong
acquisition appetite of private equity firms and strategics, particularly due to the
abundance of debt and equity capital, low interest rates, and favorable housing
market outlook.

  • 2. Industry Insights: Building Products and Materials – Q1 2017 Highlights 4.9% increase in housing starts 3.6 months supply of existing homes (lowest level since 1999) 9 year high in existing home sales 2 H 2 0 1 6 B Y T H E N U M B E R S 5.6% Y-o-Y increase in the 20-city home price index Quarterly M&A activity hits highest level since the Great Recession with 69 transactions in Q4 2016. Sales of new and existing homes reached the highest annual pace since 2007 due to a combination of low mortgage rates, improving job market and strong consumer confidence. Single-family housing starts remain strong, but building permit growth has been flat, raising doubts about the sustainability of the growth. Housing starts in the Midwest and West remain robust, while the Northeast has fared poorly due to a decline in multi-family construction. Inventory of existing homes declined to 3.6 months of supply, a low that has not been seen in seventeen years. The stock performance of nearly all subsectors of the building products and materials industry have outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 12 months. 39% LTM increase in Duff & Phelps’ index of mid cap building product manufacturers Page 2

The 30-year rate is currently 4.32%. The low interest rates and anticipation of future rate increases spurred refinancing activity in the second half of 2016; however, mortgage applications for new homes dropped 14% in December from the prior month.

  • 5. Capital Markets Industry Insights | Q1 2016Industry Insights: Building Products and Materials – Q1 2017 Housing Indicators In December 2016, the CCI climbed to its highest level since 2001. After the uncertainty surrounding the presidential election subsided, confidence soared, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to record heights. The January CCI is up 14.3% from a year ago. The HMI, a measure of builder confidence, increased to 67 in January 2017 from 61 a year ago. This level of builder’s confidence has not been seen since 2005. The HMI has now been above 50 for 31 consecutive months, indicating strong future growth in the housing market.

Housing starts have remained above the million mark for 21 consecutive months. U.S. housing starts in December were at a seasonally adjusted rate of 1,226,000, which is up 11.3% compared to a month ago and up 5.7% from the same period a year ago. The primary drivers of the strong housing starts are low interest rates, an improving job market, rising wages and faster household formations. Single-family housing starts in 2016 were 780,900, which is 9.3% above the 2015 figure. Multi- family housing starts decreased 3.0% year-over-year.

  • 7. Industry Insights: Building Products and Materials – Q1 2017 In 2016, the Midwest was the strongest performer with a 17.4% increase in housing starts, notching gains in both single-family and multi-family construction. The West also performed well in 2016, recording a 7.7% increase from the previous year. Housing starts in the South were up 5.3% in 2016 compared to a year ago.

Existing home sales decreased by 2.8% in December due to low inventory levels, rising prices and increasing mortgage rates. While sales decreased, they were still 0.7% above the December 2015 level. Demand for housing was bolstered by first-time home buyers, which accounted for approximately one-third of existing home sales. First-time buyers benefited from near record low interest rates in 2016, an improving economy with steady job growth, and record-high stock prices. The inventory of existing homes decreased to 3.6 months in December, a low that has not been seen in 17 years.

However, year-over-year gains have been declining in recent months (y-o-y November: 14.4%; y-o-y October: 14.6%). This trend is mainly due to a decline in house prices in British Columbia driven by the Vancouver market where sales continue to plunge.

Industry Insights: Building Products and Materials – Q1 2017 Quarterly M&A Activity Reaches Highest Level Since the Great Recession Note: Includes all transactions where the target is headquartered in the U.S. or Canada Source: Capital IQ M&A activity in the sector was strong in 2H 2016, particularly in the fourth quarter with 69 completed transactions involving target companies headquartered in the U.S. or Canada. This represents the highest level of quarterly M&A activity since the recession. The surge in activity was driven by an increase in willing sellers and the strong acquisition appetite of private equity firms and strategics, particularly due to the abundance of debt and equity capital, low interest rates, and favorable housing market outlook.
