It operate in several states and three Canadian provinces and is a leading distributor of roofing materials in key metropolitan markets in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Southwest regions of the United States and in Eastern Canada.

per annum. Same store sales are defined as the aggregate sales from branches open for the entire comparable annual periods within the eleven-year period. Income from operations has increased from $8.5 million in fiscal year 1999 to $109.2 million in fiscal year 2009, which represents a compound annual growth rate of 29.1%. We believe that our proven business model can deliver industry-leading growth and operating profit margins.
Our predecessor, Beacon Sales Company, Inc., was founded in Charlestown, Massachusetts (a part of Boston) in 1928. In 1984, when our former Chairman Andrew Logie acquired Beacon Sales Company with other investors, Beacon operated three distribution facilities and generated approximately $16 million in annual revenue. In August 1997, Code, Hennessy & Simmons III, L.P., a Chicago-based private equity fund, and certain members of management, purchased Beacon Sales Company to use it as a platform to acquire leading regional roofing materials distributors throughout the United States and Canada. At the time of the purchase by Code Hennessy and management, Beacon Sales Company operated seven branches in New England and generated approximately $72 million of revenue annually, primarily from the sale of non-residential roofing products. Since 1997, we have made seventeen strategic and complementary acquisitions. Also since 1997, we have opened a total of thirty-six new branches (of which we have only closed one). We have also expanded our product offerings to offer more residential roofing products and complementary exterior building materials and related services. Our strategic acquisitions, branch expansions, and product line extensions have increased the diversity of both our customer base and local market focus and generated cost savings through increased purchasing power and reduced overhead expenses as a percentage of net sales. We completed an initial public offering ("IPO") and became a public company in September 2004, and completed a follow-on stock offering in December 2005.
The U.S. roofing market, based upon manufacturer sales to distributors and others, was estimated to be approximately $13.7 billion in 2007, which is the latest industry information available to us, and is projected to grow 2.6% annually through 2012 to $15.6 billion. We believe this rate of growth is within the range the stable long-term growth rates in the industry over the past 40 years.
These complementary products also significantly contribute to the overall building products market. In 2007, the U.S. siding market was approximately $10.5 billion and the U.S. window and door industry was approximately $34.9 billion. Both of these markets have been negatively impacted by the decline in new housing starts in recent years but are are expected to grow in line with that of the roofing industry over the next several years.
