Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 1, 2025. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly and year to date operating results are reflected herein. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended November 29, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Adoption of new accounting standards
On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands the required disclosure for reportable segments. This guidance requires entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all segment disclosures which are currently required annually. This ASU additionally requires entities to disclose the title and position of the individual or the name of the group or committee identified as its chief operating decision-maker. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 for the annual requirements and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 for the interim requirements.
Accounting standards not yet adopted
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU is effective for our fiscal 2026 annual financial statements and for our interim financial statements beginning fiscal 2027. This guidance expands the existing disclosure requirements for the annual rate reconciliation between the effective tax rate and the statutory federal tax rate by requiring reconciliation items to be disaggregated by defined categories and disclosed as both percentages and amounts. ASU 2023-09 also requires the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction for each annual period presented.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance requires entities to disclose more detailed information about the types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. Such guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption is permitted. This guidance should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. While the adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on our financial position and/or results of operations, we are currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures, including the processes and controls around the collection of this information.
- Revenue, Receivables and Contract Assets and Liabilities
Revenue
The following table disaggregates total revenue by timing of recognition (see Note 12 for disclosure of revenue by segment):
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | November 29, 2025 | November 30, 2024 | November 29, 2025 | November 30, 2024 |
| Recognized at shipment | $163,008 | $150,704 | $492,845 | $427,945 |
| Recognized over time (input method) | 119,570 | 125,451 | 356,927 | 360,815 |
| Recognized over time (output method) | 65,985 | 65,189 | 203,607 | 226,540 |
| Total | $348,563 | $341,344 | $1,053,379 | $1,015,300 |
Revenue at shipment is recognized at the time products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities, which is when control is transferred to our customer.
We also recognize revenue over time using both the input method and output method. The contracts for the businesses that recognize revenue following an over-time input method have a single, bundled performance obligation, as these businesses generally provide interrelated products and services and integrate these products and services into a combined output specified by the customer. The customer obtains control of this combined output, generally integrated window systems or installed window and curtainwall systems, over time. We measure progress on these contracts by comparing total costs incurred to-date to the total estimated costs for the contract at completion, and record that proportion of the total contract price as revenue in the period. Contract costs include materials, labor and other direct costs related to contract performance. We believe this method of recognizing revenue is consistent with our progress in satisfying our contract obligations.
For revenue recognized followingan over-time output method, the customer is considered to have control over the products at the time of production, as the products are highly customized with no alternative use, and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed over the production period. We believe this over-time output method of recognizing revenue reasonably depicts the fulfillment of our performance obligations under our contracts.
Receivables
Receivables reflected in the financial statements represent the net amount expected to be collected. An allowance for credit losses is established based on expected losses. Expected losses are estimated by reviewing individual accounts, considering aging, financial condition of the debtor, recent payment history, current and forecasted economic conditions and other relevant factors. Upon billing, aging of receivables is monitored until collection. An account is considered current when it is within agreed upon payment terms. An account is written off when it is determined that the asset is no longer collectible.
| (In thousands) | November 29, 2025 | March 1, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Trade accounts | $111,819 | $117,533 |
| Construction contracts | 66,310 | 70,724 |
| Total receivables | 178,129 | 188,257 |
| Less: allowance for credit losses | 1,541 | 2,667 |
| Receivables, net | $176,588 | $185,590 |
The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended November 29, 2025:
| (In thousands) | November 29, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Beginning balance | $2,667 |
| Credits against costs and expenses | (571) |
| Deductions from allowance, net of recoveries | (581) |
| Other adjustments | 26 |
| Ending balance | $1,541 |
Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets consist of retainage, costs and earnings in excess of billings and other unbilled amounts typically generated when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Retainage on construction contracts represents amounts withheld by our customers on long-term projects until the project reaches a level of completion where amounts are released to us from the customer. Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of costs and earnings and other deferred revenue on contracts.
The time period between when performance obligations are complete and payment is due is not significant. In certain parts of our business that recognize revenue over time, progress billings follow an agreed-upon schedule of values.
| (In thousands) | November 29, 2025 | March 1, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Contract assets | $66,645 | $71,842 |
| Contract liabilities | 43,086 | 35,193 |
The changes in contract assets and contract liabilities were mainly due to timing of project activity within our businesses that operate under long-term contracts.
Other contract-related disclosures
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | November 29, 2025 | November 30, 2024 | November 29, 2025 | November 30, 2024 |
| Revenue recognized related to contract liabilities from prior year-end | $700 | $399 | $29,029 | $30,760 |
| Revenue recognized related to prior satisfaction of performance obligations | 1,957 | 4,129 | 4,366 | 12,295 |
Some of our contracts have an expected duration of longer than a year, with performance obligations extending over that time frame. Generally, these contracts are found in our businesses that typically operate with long-term contracts, which recognize revenue over time. The transaction prices associated with unsatisfied performance obligations at November 29, 2025, are expected to be satisfied, and the corresponding revenue to be recognized, over the following estimated time periods:
| (In thousands) | November 29, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Within one year | $530,201 |
| Between one and two years | 283,130 |
| Beyond two years | 79,485 |
| Total | $892,816 |
Due to the nature of the work required under these long-term contracts, the estimation of total revenue and costs of sales is subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. Our final cost of sales estimates are based largely on our assessments of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. Changes in estimated revenue, cost of sales and the related effect on operating income are recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a long-term contracts percentage of completion. When the current estimates of total revenues and costs at completion for a long-term contract indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the long-term contract is recognized.
The net cumulative catch-up adjustments on our longer-term contracts for changes in estimates had the following effect on the respective periods shown:
| (in thousands, except earnings per share data) | Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 29, 2025 | November 30, 2024 | November 29, 2025 | November 30, 2024 | |

- Financial Instruments
Marketable securities
Through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), we hold the following available-for-sale marketable securities, made up of fixed-maturity investments:
| (In thousands) | Amortized Cost | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Estimated Fair Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 29, 2025 | $9,211 | $27 | $137 | $9,101 |
| March 1, 2025 | 10,148 | 33 | 222 | 9,959 |
Prism insures a portion of our general liability, workers’ compensation and automobile liability risks using third-party agreements to meet statutory requirements. Our third-party carriers require Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under these agreements.
The amortized cost and estimated fair values of these investments at November 29, 2025, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities, as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty. Investments that are due within one year are included in other current assets while those due after one year are included as other non-current assets. Gross realized gains and losses were insignificant for all periods presented.
| (In thousands) | Amortized Cost | Estimated Fair Value |
|---|---|---|
| Due within one year | $7,239 | $7,163 |
| Due after one year through five years | 1,972 | 1,938 |
| Total | $9,211 | $9,101 |
Derivative instruments
We periodically use interest rate swaps, currency put options, forward purchase contracts, or other instruments to manage risks generally associated with foreign exchange rate (primarily related to the Canadian dollar and euro), interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. The information that follows explains the various types of derivatives and financial instruments we use, how such instruments are accounted for, and how such instruments impact our financial position and performance.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $50.0 million with an expiration date of August 5, 2027. In fiscal 2025, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $75.0 million with an expiration date of January 5, 2027. In fiscal 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $30.0 million with an expiration date of February 5, 2026. We entered into these swaps to hedge a portion of our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on our floating-rate credit facility.
As of November 29, 2025, we had no foreign exchange option contracts with U.S. dollar notional values outstanding.
Derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded within our consolidated balance sheets within other current assets and other current liabilities. Gains or losses associated with these instruments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until which time the hedged transaction is settled and gains or losses are reclassified to earnings.
Fair value measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data). We do not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were:
| (In thousands) | Quoted Prices in Active Markets(Level 1) | Other Observable Inputs(Level 2) | Total Fair Value |

- Debt
On July 19, 2024, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured senior credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $700.0 million, in which commitments were made through a $450.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility and a committed $250.0 million delayed draw term loan facility. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility can be in Canadian dollars (CAD) limited to $25.0 million USD. The term loan facility may be utilized in up totwo draw downs, which are available to be made withinone year after the closing date. The senior credit facility has a term offive years with a maturity date of July 19, 2029.
The Credit Agreement replaced the previous revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders, with maximum borrowings up to $385.0 million, and thetwo Canadian credit facilities with Bank of Montreal totaling $25.0 million USD.
As a result of the execution of the Credit Agreement, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt within interest expense of $0.5 million for the write-off of unamortized financing fees related to the previous revolving credit facility. Additionally, we capitalized $3.0 million of lender fees and $0.8 million of third-party fees incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement, which were recorded as other non-current assets and are being amortized over the term of the credit facility as interest expense.
The Credit Agreement contains two maintenance financial covenants that require our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to be less than 3.50 and our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to exceed 3.00. At November 29, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants as defined under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement also contains an acquisition “holiday”. In the event we make an acquisition for which the purchase price is greater than $75.0 million, we can elect to increase the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 4.00 for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter in which a qualifying acquisition occurs. No more thantwo acquisition holidays can occur during the term of the Credit Agreement, and at leasttwo fiscal quarters must separate qualifying acquisitions.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear floating interest at either the Base Rate or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), or, for CAD borrowings, Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) plus, in each a margin based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). For Base Rate borrowings, the margin ranges from 0.25% to 0.75%. For Term SOFR and CORRA borrowings, the margin ranges from 1.25% to 1.75%, with an incremental Term SOFR and CORRA adjustment of 0.10% and 0.29547%, respectively.
The Credit Agreement also contains an “accordion” provision. Under this provision, we can request that the senior credit facility be increased by unlimited additional amounts. Any lender may elect or decline to participate in the requested increase at their sole discretion.
On November 4, 2024, as part of the acquisition of UW Interco, LLC (UW Solutions), and for working capital and general corporate purposes, we executed a drawdown against the delayed draw term loan facility for $250.0 million. Outstanding borrowings under the term loan facility were $215.0 million as of November 29, 2025. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $40.0 million as of November 29, 2025.
At November 29, 2025, we had a total of $2.6 million of ongoing letters of credit related to the senior credit facility, construction contracts and insurance collateral that expire in fiscal 2027 and reduce borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility. As of November 29, 2025, the amount available for revolving borrowings was $407.4 million.
The fair value of our senior credit facility approximated carrying value at November 29, 2025, and would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 4, due to the variable interest rates on these instruments.
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | November 29, 2025 | November 30, 2024 | November 29, 2025 | November 30, 2024 |

| Interest expense, net | $3,227 | $1,044 | $11,148 | $2,634 |
Interest payments under the credit facilities were $13.2 million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended November 29, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively. The weighted average interest rates on borrowings outstanding, inclusive of the impact of our interest rate swaps as of November 29, 2025, and March 1, 2025, were 3.16% and 4.32%, respectively.
- Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Bond commitments
In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in our Architectural Services Segment, we are required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for non-performance against our contracts. At November 29, 2025, $1.2 billion of these types of bonds were outstanding, of which $253.0 million is in our backlog. These bonds have expiration dates that align with the completion of these contracts. We have never been required to make payments under surety or performance bonds with respect to our existing businesses.
Warranty and project-related contingencies
We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims, for product warranty and rework cost, based on historical product liability claims as a ratio of sales. Claim costs are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on these accruals in any given period include changes in manufacturing quality, changes in product mix, and any significant changes in sales volume.
| Nine Months Ended | |
|---|---|
| (In thousands) | November 29, 2025 |
| Beginning balance | $18,461 |
| Credits against costs and expenses | (1,044) |
| Claims paid | (3,504) |
| Ending balance | $13,913 |
Additionally, we are subject to project management and installation-related contingencies as a result of our fixed-price material supply and installation service contracts, primarily in our Architectural Services Segment and in certain parts of our
Architectural Metals Segment. We manage the risk of these exposures through contract negotiations, proactive project management and insurance coverages.
Letters of credit
At November 29, 2025, we had $2.6 million of ongoing letters of credit as discussed in Note 5.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures totaled $16.4 million as of November 29, 2025.
New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transactions
During the second quarter ended August 30, 2025, one NMTC transaction was settled and, as a result, a $4.6 million benefit was recorded in other (income) expense, net. During the third quarter ended November 29, 2025, the final remaining NMTC transaction was settled and, as a result, a $2.1 million benefit was recorded in other (income) expense, net.
When these transactions were initiated, the proceeds received from investors were included within other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The NMTC arrangements were subject to 100 percent tax credit recapture for a period of seven years from the date of transaction. Upon the termination, proceeds were recognized in earnings in exchange for the transfer of tax credits. The direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring this arrangement were deferred and were included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. These costs were recognized in conjunction with the recognition of the related proceeds as settled. During the construction phase or for working capital purposes, we were required to hold cash dedicated to fund the project, which was classified as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the structure of these transactions, a variable-interest entity was created. As the other investors in these programs did not have a material interest in the entity's underlying economics, we included 100% of the results of the variable-interest entity in our consolidated financial statements.
Litigation
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company is routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. We have in the past and are currently subject to product liability and warranty claims, including certain legal claims related to a commercial sealant product formerly incorporated into our products.
In December 2022, the claimant in an arbitration of one such claim was awarded $20.0 million by an arbitration panel. The claimant then sought to confirm this award in Los Angeles Superior Court in March 2023. In response, the Company moved to vacate the award. Later in March 2023, the Superior Court confirmed the award, which the Company appealed in June 2023. The appeal was argued before the California Court of Appeals, Second Appellate District, Division Seven, on March 7, 2025. The California Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment of the Superior Court on March 25, 2025, and the Company paid the final arbitration award, including accrued post-judgment interest, in the amount of $24.7 million, on April 7, 2025. As a result of the judgment, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we recorded expense of $9.4 million, which represented the impact of the award amount net of existing reserves and insurance proceeds of $11.0 million.
The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of areas such as employment practices, workers compensation and general liability matters. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of any such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no matters will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.
- Supplier Finance Program Obligations
We have a supplier financing arrangement that enables select suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell our receivables (i.e., our payment obligations to the suppliers) on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than our payment terms provide. These suppliers’ voluntary inclusion of invoices in the supplier financing arrangement has no bearing on our payment terms, the amounts we pay, or our liquidity. We have no economic interest in the supplier’s decision to participate in the supplier financing program, and we do not provide any guarantees in connection with it. The balances owed are reflected in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets and are reflected in net cash provided by operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows when settled.
The following table summarizes the obligation activity and outstanding balance for the nine months ended November 29, 2025, that we have confirmed as valid to the administrators of our program:
| (In thousands) | November 29, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Balance at beginning of period | $6,846 |
| Obligations added to the program | 39,692 |
| Obligations settled | (39,690) |
| Balance at end of period | $6,848 |
- Shareholders' Equity
We paid dividends totaling $16.6 million ($0.78 per share) in the first nine months of fiscal 2026, compared to dividends paid of $16.2 million ($0.75 per share) in the comparable prior year period.
During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing us to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock, with subsequent increases in authorization. During the nine months ended November 29, 2025, we didnot repurchase shares under the program. During the nine months ended November 30, 2024, we repurchased 241,573 shares under the program, for a total cost of $15.1 million. We have repurchased a total of 12,063,207 shares, at a total cost of $438.5 million, since the inception of this program in fiscal 2004. We have remaining authority to repurchase 2,186,793 shares under this program, which has no expiration date. We may elect to repurchase additional shares of common stock under our authorization, subject to limitations contained in our debt agreements and based upon our assessment of a number of factors, including share price, trading volume and general market conditions, working capital requirements, general business conditions, financial conditions, any applicable contractual limitations, and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. We may finance share repurchases with available cash, additional debt or other sources of financing.
Additionally, shares withheld from the vesting of restricted awards, or the settlement of performance-based awards, are treated as purchases and retirements, and are included within other, net in the financing activities section in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
- Share-Based Compensation
As part of our compensation structure, we grant stock-based compensation awards to certain employees and non-employee directors during the fiscal year. These awards may be in the form of incentive stock options (to employees only), restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, and performance share unit awards, all of which are granted at a price or with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of award, unless the date of the award is on a day the Nasdaq Stock Market is not open for trading. In that case, the exercise price shall equal the fair market value on the most recent preceding date when such market is open.
The table below sets forth the number of stock-based compensation awards granted during the nine months ended November 29, 2025, along with the weighted average grant date fair value:
| Awards | Number of Awards | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
|---|---|---|
| Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units(1) | 178,103 | $43.92 |
| Performance share units (2) | 53,542 | $45.44 |
| (1) | Represent service condition awards which generally vest over a two- or three-year period. |
| (2) | Represent performance condition awards with the grant equal to the target number of performance shares based on the share price at grant date. These grants allow for the right to receive a variable number of shares, between 0% and 200% of target, dependent on being employed at the end of the performance period and achieving defined performance goals for average adjusted return on invested capital and cumulative adjusted earnings per share. |
Total share-based compensation expense included in the results of operations was $3.8 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended November 29, 2025, and November 30, 2024, respectively and $6.6 million and $8.1 million for the nine months ended November 29, 2025, and November 30, 2024, respectively.
On October 31, 2025, the Company announced the separation of its Chief Executive Officer. In connection with this separation agreement, the Board of Directors approved the accelerated vesting of certain outstanding unvested restricted stock awards and performance share unit awards previously granted. As a result of this modification, the Company recognized incremental stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, representing the fair value of the awards that would have otherwise vested over the remaining service periods. This amount is included in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Results of Operations.
At November 29, 2025, there was $9.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share and nonvested share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended November 29, 2025, was $12.4 million.
- Income Taxes
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state and local jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil, and other international jurisdictions. In September 2025, the Company was notified that the Internal Revenue Service will conduct a U.S. federal examination for fiscal 2023. There is very limited audit activity of our income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.
For interim periods, income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effects of items required to be treated as discrete to the period, including changes in tax laws, changes in estimated exposures for uncertain tax positions and other items. For the three months ended November 29, 2025, income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income tax was 31.4%, compared to 24.1% for the same period last year. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in tax expense on discrete items. For the nine months ended November 29, 2025, income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income tax was 31.1% compared to 24.8% for the same period last year. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by tax expenses on discrete items.
The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $5.9 million at November 29, 2025, compared to $6.0 million at March 1, 2025. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law in the United States, introducing a wide array of tax reform measures. These include extensions and modifications to certain provisions originally enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Key changes include the immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and a new interest expense limitation based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). These provisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended November 29, 2025.

- Business Segment Data
We have four operating segments which are also reportable segments. Each of ourfour segments has distinct economic characteristics, including products and services provided, production processes and varying ranges in performance and results:
The Architectural Metals Segment designs, engineers, fabricates and finishes aluminum window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems used primarily in non-residential construction.
The Architectural Services Segment integrates technical services, project management, and field installation services to design, engineer, fabricate, and install architectural curtainwall and other façade-related systems primarily in non-residential construction.
The Architectural Glass Segment cuts, treats, coats and fabricates high-performance glass used in custom window and wall systems primarily for non-residential buildings.
The Performance Surfaces Segment develops and manufactures high-performance coated materials for a variety of applications, including wall decor, museums, graphic design, digital displays, architectural interiors, and industrial flooring.
The Company’s CEO is the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM utilizes net sales and adjusted EBITDA 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.
Net sales, adjusted cost of sales, adjusted SG&A, adjusted other income (expense), depreciation and amortization and the resulting adjusted EBITDA for each of the Company’sfour reportable segments are presented below. 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 adjusted EBITDA includes 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.

- Acquisitions
On November 4, 2024, we completed the acquisition of UW Solutions for $240.9 million in cash. UW Solutions is a U.S. based, vertically integrated manufacturer of high-performance coated substrates with a portfolio of well-known brands, including ResinDEK®, ChromaLuxe®, RDC Coatings™, and Unisub®, each known as a leader in its specified applications. The UW Solutions business activity is included in our Performance Surfaces Segment.
The total purchase consideration was $232.2 million in cash, net of a favorable net working capital adjustment of $0.9 million and cash acquired of $8.7 million. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit agreement. During fiscal 2025, we incurred total pre-tax acquisition-related expenses of $10.3 million associated with the acquisition. During the three-month period ended November 29, 2025, we incurred integration costs associated with the acquisition of $0.3 million, of which $0.1 million and $0.2 million are included in cost of sales and SG&A, respectively, within our Consolidated Results of Operations. During the nine-month period ended November 29, 2025, we incurred integration costs associated with the acquisition of $2.0 million, of which $0.5 million and $1.5 million are included in cost of sales and SG&A, respectively, within our Consolidated Results of Operations.
We accounted for the acquisition as a purchase of a business and recorded the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill of $107.8 million. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies by integrating UW Solutions into our Performance Surfaces Segment and by creating a scalable growth platform in the specialty coatings and materials market. The goodwill is expected to be amortized and deductible for income tax purposes. We have provisionally determined the appropriate fair values of the acquired intangible assets and completed our analysis of the economic lives of the assets acquired.
The following table presents the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
| (In thousands) | |

| Total Liabilities | $27,705 |
| Net assets recorded | $240,873 |
The impact of the acquisition of UW Solutions on our Consolidated Results of Operations for the three-month period ended on November 29, 2025, was $27.9 million of net sales and $0.3 million of net income, and for the nine-month period ended on November 29, 2025, was $74.8 million of net sales and $1.8 million of net loss.
The following supplemental unaudited pro forma information presents our financial results as if the acquisition of UW Solutions had occurred on March 3, 2024. This supplemental pro forma information has been prepared for comparative purposes and would not necessarily indicate what may have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on March 3, 2024, and this information is not intended to be indicative of future results.

The three-month period ended November 30, 2024, includes $0.6 million of non-recurring integration costs in the three-month proforma period. Nonrecurring charges of $4.4 million of transaction costs, $2.3 million of integration costs, $2.3 million of amortization of acquired backlog, and $1.5 million of inventory step-up expense are included in the nine-month period ended November 30, 2024, and are included in the nine-month proforma period ended November 30, 2024.
These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of UW Solutions to reflect the effect of definite-lived intangible assets recognized as part of the business combination on amortization expense as if the acquisition had occurred on March 3, 2024.
- Restructuring
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we announced strategic actions to streamline our business operations, enable a more efficient cost model, and better position the Company for profitable growth (referred to as “Project Fortify”). Project Fortify primarily impacted the Architectural Metals Segment and included:
Eliminating certain lower-margin product and service offerings, enabling consolidation into a single operating entity.
Transferring production operations from the Company’s facility in Walker, Michigan, to the Company’s facilities in Monett, Missouri and Wausau, Wisconsin.
Simplifying the segment’s brand portfolio and commercial model to improve flexibility, better leverage the Company’s capabilities, and enhance customer service.
Additionally, the Company implemented actions to optimize processes and streamline resources in its Architectural Services Segment and Corporate and Other. The Company completed Project Fortify during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and incurred a total of $16.7 million of restructuring charges, which led to an annualized pre-tax cost savings of approximately$14 million.
On April 23, 2025, we announced a second phase of Project Fortify (referred to as "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 to incur approximately $28 million to $29 million of pre-tax charges associated with Phase 2. The total charges are expected to include the following:
$15 million to $16 million of severance and employee related costs;
$5 million to $6 million of contract termination costs; and
$7 million to $8 million of other expenses.
We expect the actions associated with Phase 2 to be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and expect them to deliver annualized pre-tax cost savings of approximately $25 million to $26 million.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we incurred $5.1 million of pre-tax costs associated with Phase 2, of which $3.5 million is included in cost of sales and $1.6 million is included within SG&A. During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, we incurred $23.6 million of pre-tax costs associated with Phase 2, of which, $13.4 million is included in cost of sales and $10.2 million is included within SG&A. For the nine months ended November 29, 2025, SG&A charges include a $5.0 million non-cash intangible asset impairment charge in the Architectural Services segment and a $2.6 million non-cash asset write-off and other charges in Corporate and Other.
