Building products distributor BlueLinx reported its 2025 second quarter financial results on July 29, showing a modest increase in year-over-year sales while margins declined.

The Atlanta-based company posted total 2Q sales of $780 million, up 2% year-over-year, with growth in both structural and specialty products.

2Q gross margin of 15.3% fell 60 basis points year-over-year; operating profit of $15 million trailed the $24 million of a year earlier; and net profit of $4 million was less than one-third of the $14 million of a year earlier.

BlueLinx’s 2Q adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.4% likewise trailed the 4.5% of a year earlier.

The company added that through the first four weeks of the third quarter, its Specialty Products gross margin was 17-18% and 8-9% for Structural Products, while average daily sales volumes were up slightly compared to 2Q.

In early June, BlueLinx appointed former Stanley Black & Decker executive Mark Mason as Vice President of Product Management.
