Installed Building Products, Inc. (the “Company” or “IBP”) (NYSE: IBP), an industry-leading installer of insulation and
complementary building products, announced today the acquisition of Blind Ambitions LLC. Founded in 2006, Blind Ambitions has

the new construction homebuilding industry and has trailing-twelve month revenue of $9.4 million.
In addition to Blind Ambitions, the company acquired Allpro Insulation Co. Founded in 1998, Allpro serves the greater Raleigh

residential customers and has trailing-twelve month revenue of $2.8 million.
“IBP began offering window blind installation services two years ago, and this product category has grown organically to
approximately $10 million of annual revenue. With trailing-twelve month revenue of $9.4 million, Blind Ambitions nearly doubles our
category revenue, significantly expands our footprint in compelling markets, and enhances our product offering to include shades
and custom shutters,” stated Jeff Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Blind Ambitions’ customer base and experienced
management team will create immediate value for IBP and provides a nearly $20 million platform to meaningfully increase these
product offerings in our current markets and throughout our national network of branches. We are excited about growing our window
blinds business, and our pipeline of potential acquisitions remains robust as we continue to look at opportunities that expand
IBP’s footprint, product offerings and end markets.”
