CluenexSiteOne Landscape Supply SITE
SiteOne Landscape Supply scores weak on business quality (4.5 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What SiteOne Landscape Supply does
SiteOne Landscape Supply distributes wholesale wholesale and retail landscape supplies to contractors, maintaining a massive branch network across North America. The company leans on continuous branch expansion and selective acquisitions to capture market share in a fragmented industry.
- What it does best
SiteOne dominates landscape supply distribution across North America, leveraging a broad branch network that creates massive logistical advantages. Its gross margin sits at 35.1%, allowing it to out-service regional rivals who lack national purchasing power.
- The main risk
Inflationary wage pressures and volatile input costs threaten margins, directly eroding the net income base which sits thin at $163.0M on $4.8B in revenue.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin stands at 5.3% while net margin rests at 3.4%, leaving little room for error. The company struggles to expand profitability as it scales, trapping returns on equity at 10.0%.
Scale and physical branch density lock in commercial and residential contractors who need job-site delivery speed. Its operating margin ranks in the bottom quartile at the 11th percentile of its sector, showing limited cost leverage.
Revenue grew 3.6% to $4.8B, marking a deceleration compared to historical annual climbs. Growth crawls at a pace that lags past periods while the broader sector ranks it in the middle at the 44th percentile.
Total debt sits at $520.0M against $191.0M in cash, supported by an interest coverage ratio of 7.2x. Free cash flow reached $250.0M, showing stable generation as operations steady.
