Impacts of Macroeconomic Conditions on our Business
Current report
The Company is closely monitoring the fluid nature of the current macroeconomic conditions as it could be adversely impacted by the potential expansion of tariffs for imports of raw materials, primarily steel and aluminum, used in its manufacturing processes, and to a lesser extent, logistics and imported products used by the Company's customers, such as solar modules, as well as responsive or related policies enacted in other countries.
Current report
The global and regional economic conditions may cause volatility in demand for our products as well as cost of materials and logistics, and transportation delays. These conditions may result in impacts to the pricing of the Company's products, product availability and its results of operations, for which such impact is uncertain at this time.
Current report
In April 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $200 million of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. The new program has a duration of three years, ending April 30, 2028. Repurchases may be made, from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, debt covenants and other considerations. Any such repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated agreements or other transactions. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. The Company has not made repurchases under the new repurchase program as of April 30, 2025.
Current report
On March 31, 2025, the Company acquired two privately held businesses that primarily specialize in the manufacturing of metal roofing systems. The Company purchased all the outstanding stock of one of the businesses and substantially all of the assets of the other business for a combined preliminary purchase consideration of $90 million in an all cash transaction. These businesses are reported as part of the Company's Residential segment.
Current report
On February 11, 2025, the Company purchased all the outstanding stock of Lane Supply, a privately held company that designs, manufactures and installs structural canopies serving the convenience store, travel center, food retail, and quick serve restaurant markets, for $117 million in an all cash transaction. Lane Supply is reported as part of the Company's Agtech segment.
Current report
Consolidated net sales decreased by $2.5 million, or 0.9%, to $290.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. A 5% decrease in organic revenue, primarily the result of market softness in the Renewables segment, and portfolio management activities in the prior year related to the sale of the Company's residential electronic locker business, were nearly offset by $15.3 million of net sales generated from the current quarter acquisition of Lane Supply in the Residential segment. Consolidated backlog increased 30% to $434 million, as compared to prior year.
Current report
Net sales in the Company's Residential segment decreased $5.1 million, or 2.8%, to $180.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $185.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was due in part to portfolio management activities in the prior year related to the sale of the Company's residential electronic locker business. Market softness in retail end market point-of-sale revenue along with mail and package product sales was nearly offset by participation gains and new product penetration in our building accessories product sales.
Current report
Net sales in the Company's Agtech segment increased 32.4%, or $11.0 million, to $45.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $34.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The revenue increase was largely due to $15.3 million generated from the current quarter acquisition of Lane Supply, which more than offset a 12.6% decrease in organic sales related to project start delays for two produce projects waiting on permit approval. The Company expects to have permits finalized and start construction around the end of the second quarter. Backlog increased 226% year over year in this segment, driven by both organic orders and with the acquisition of Lane Supply.
Current report
Net sales in the Company's Renewables segment decreased $7.8 million, or 15.1%, to $43.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $51.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was in line with expectations given the slower bookings realized in the second half of 2024 due to headwinds associated with the December 2024 panel installation deadline related to the expiration of the 2022 Presidential Proclamation tariff moratorium. Order backlog decreased 23% from the prior year as a result of the aforementioned challenges.

Previous report
The Company's customers in the Renewables business continue to be impacted by regulatory, trade and tax policy changes, uncertainty primarily due to investigations and pending finalization of governmental guidance. These include but are not limited to:
Previous report
•In May 2024, a second independent anti-dumping and countervailing duties ("AD/CVD") investigation was initiated by the U.S. Department of Commerce claiming potentially illegal trade practices with Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, the same four countries named in the 2022 AD/CVD case, for which resolution is anticipated in 2025;
Previous report
•Expiration in 2024 of the Presidential Executive Order that paused tariffs on imports of solar modules for two years. Modules procured during this pause could be subject to significant tariffs if not installed and operating prior to the December 3, 2024 expiration of the tariff moratorium; and
Previous report

Previous report
Consolidated net sales decreased by $29.5 million, or 7.6%, to $361.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The net sales decrease was largely due to a 6% decrease in organic revenue, the result of a 7% volume decline partially offset by a 1% increase in pricing to customers, along with portfolio management activities in the prior year quarter. Growth in the Company's Agtech segment was more than offset by a $5.5 million decrease in net sales related to portfolio management along with a decline in revenue in the Company's Residential, Renewables and Infrastructure segments.

The decrease was largely driven by trade and regulatory headwinds associated with the two independent AD/CVD investigations which are compelling the industry to significantly focus on completing panel installations and the administrative reporting requirements ahead of the December 3, 2024 expiration of the tariff moratorium for panels granted through the two-year Presidential Proclamation from June 2022. Order backlog decreased 24% from the prior year as a result of the aforementioned challenges. Order backlog decreased 24% from the prior year as a result of these aforementioned challenges.

The revenue increase was primarily driven by projects starting to accelerate in our produce division. Although backlog decreased 3% year over year in this segment, we anticipate the addition of new projects in both the produce and commercial markets as we complete design work and finalize projects for launch.

Consolidated backlog decreased 15% to $319 million, as compared to the end of the prior year period.
