Current report
On April 23, 2025, we announced an extension of Project Fortify ("Project Fortify Phase 2" or "Phase 2") to drive further cost efficiencies, primarily in the Architectural Metals and Architectural Services Segments. Phase 2 focuses on further optimizing our operating footprint and aligning resources to enable a more effective operating model. We expect the actions of Phase 2 to incur approximately $24 million to $26 million of pre-tax charges. Phase 2 is expected to deliver annualized pre-tax cost savings of approximately $13 million to $15 million. We expect the actions associated with Phase 2 to be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. See Note 14 for additional information.

•Gross margin decreased to 21.7%, compared to 29.8%, primarily due to restructuring charges of $6.9 million, a less favorable mix and higher aluminum costs in Architectural Metals, and higher tariff expense in Architectural Services.
Current report
•Operating income declined to $6.9 million from $41.4 million, and operating margin decreased 1,050 basis points to 2.0%. The decline in operating margin was primarily driven by restructuring charges of $15.3 million, a less favorable mix and higher aluminum costs in Architectural Metals, higher tariff expense in Architectural Services, and increased amortization expense associated with the UW Solutions transaction, partially offset by lower long-term incentive expense.
Current report
•Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $34.4 million compared to $52.6 million and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 9.9% compared to 15.9%. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by a less favorable mix and higher aluminum costs in Architectural Metals, as well as higher tariff expense in Architectural Services, partially offset by lower long-term incentive expense.

Current report
We have four operating segments which are also reportable segments. Each of our four segments have distinct economic characteristics, including products and services provided, production processes and varying ranges in performance and results.
Current report
We evaluate the performance of our segments based on segment net sales and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Our CEO is our chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM uses these measurements to assess segment performance and make decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources by analyzing recent results, trends, and variances of each segment in relation to forecasts and historical performance.
Current report
The segment measurements provided to, and evaluated by, the CODM are described in Note 12 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segment net sales is defined as net sales for a certain segment and includes revenue related to intersegment transactions. We report net sales intersegment eliminations separately to exclude these sales from our consolidated total. Segment operating income is equal to net sales, less cost of goods sold, SG&A, and any asset impairment charges associated with the segment. Segment operating income includes operating income related to intersegment sales transactions and excludes certain corporate costs that are not allocated at a segment level. We report these unallocated corporate costs in Corporate and Other. Operating income does not include other income or expense, interest expense or income tax expense.
