Safe Harbor Statement and Use of Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Information

Forward-Looking Statement Safe Harbor - This presentation includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All of these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and

assumptions made by our management that, although believed by BlueLinx to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Forward-

looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and

technological factors outside of its control, that may cause its business, strategy or actual results to differ materially from the

forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include, among other things: changes in the supply and/or

demand for products which we distribute; the activities of competitors; changes in significant operating expenses; changes in the

availability of capital; the ability to identify acquisition opportunities and effectively and cost-efficiently integrate acquisitions;

general economic and business conditions in the United States; adverse weather patterns or conditions; acts of war or terrorist

activities; variations in the performance of the financial markets; and other factors described in the "Risk Factors" section in the

Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and in its periodic reports filed with the

SEC from time to time. In addition, the statements in this presentation are made as of May 4, 2006. The Company expects that

subsequent events or developments will cause its views to change. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any of the

forward-looking statements made herein, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in expectation or

otherwise. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's views as of any date

subsequent to May 4, 2006.

Use of Non-GAAP and Pro Forma* Financial Information - To supplement GAAP financial statements, the Company uses

non-GAAP, or pro forma measures of operating results. This non-GAAP, or pro forma financial information is provided as

additional information for investors and is not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP. These adjusted results exclude

certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, and we believe their exclusion can enhance an overall understanding of our past

financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent of

providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the operating performance of the Company as

opposed to GAAP results, which may include non-recurring, infrequent or other non-cash charges that are not material to the

ongoing performance of the Company's business. Company management uses these non-GAAP and pro forma results as a

basis for planning and forecasting core business activity in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not

meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, diluted earnings per share or net cash provided by (used

in) operating activities prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

* The pro forma results for years 2003 and 2004 in the tables in the appendix of this presentation reflect the acquisition by BlueLinx of the operating assets of

the building products distribution division of Georgia-Pacific and are presented as if BlueLinx Holdings had been a stand alone entity since December 29,

2002. Pro forma results also have been adjusted for the company's initial public offering and the mortgage refinancing transaction, both of which occurred in

the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
