As a result, we believe we are now in an even stronger market position in connectors with significant gains in both fasteners and anchors. In addition, due to our high service levels, increasingly diverse portfolio of products and software as well as our commitment to innovation and developing complete solutions for the markets we serve, we believe we can continue to achieve above market growth in the North America relative to U.S. housing starts for fiscal 2025 and beyond. These examples further emulate our Founder, Barclay Simpson’s, nine principles of doing business, and more specifically the focus and obsession on customers and users.

These actions reflect our Founder, Barclay Simpson’s, nine principles of doing business, particularly our relentless focus and commitment to customers and users.

Previous wording

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the recent tariff and trade policy actions have had some impact and will continue to impact our results of operations. We also experienced increased foreign currency exchange rate volatility, which we attribute, in part, to the rapidly changing global trade environment.

Current wording

Tariff and trade policy actions have impacted our results of operations and are expected to continue to do so. We also experienced increased foreign currency exchange rate volatility, which we attribute, in part, to the rapidly changing global trade environment.

Previous wording

North America net sales could increase in future periods even if demand does not increase. However, increased selling prices are expected to be offset by increased non-material costs including labor, energy, transportation, and equipment incurred over the prior three years. In addition, the announced price increases will partly offset the increased costs related to the tariffs that effected a portion of our fastener and anchors sales, while it does not offset tariffs announced after October 15, 2025.

Current wording

We increased prices in the U.S. effective June 2, 2025 on certain wood connectors, fasteners and mechanical anchors, and again effective October 15, 2025 on certain fasteners and mechanical anchors, in response to tariffs. We believe North America net sales could increase in future periods even if demand does not increase. However, increased selling prices are expected to be offset by higher non-material costs including labor, energy, transportation, and building and equipment depreciation (from recent footprint investments, as noted above) incurred over the three years and potentially by future costs increases. In addition, the price increases are expected to partially offset increased costs related to the tariffs affecting a portion of our fastener and anchors sales, but do not offset tariffs announced after December 31, 2025.

Previous wording

Due to a declining housing starts market, we are undertaking proactive strategic cost savings initiatives to align our operations with evolving market demand to position the Company for long-term success. These actions include workforce reduction and portfolio management. As a result, we incurred approximately $3.0 million, net, in one-time charges during the third quarter of 2025, and estimate total one-time charges of approximately $9.0 million to $12.0 million, net, in fiscal year 2025. We expect these initiatives will generate at least $30.0 million in annualized cost savings.

Previous wording

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of our business. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, integration, acquisition and restructuring costs, non-qualified deferred compensation adjustments, goodwill impairment, gain on bargain purchase, net loss or gain on disposal of assets, interest income or expense, and foreign exchange and other expense (income). This provides additional insight into the Company’s operating performance in light of the significant levels of growth investment we have made in our operations, the effect depreciation and acquisition as well as integration costs will have on our operating results. We believe this will also provide a better approximation of our cash flows compared to operating income.

Previous wording

We are closely monitoring the recent tariff and trade policy actions taken by the U.S. and foreign governments. As the situation continues to remain fluid due to the rapidly changing global trade environment, we are still evaluating the potential implications of these actions on our business. While we are largely domestically sourced, we continue to monitor macroeconomic trends such as the impact of inflation, the effects of recently implemented tariffs, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs in markets where we and our supplier operate. As a result of the tariff’s announced by the U.S. presidential administration on April 2, 2025 and June 15, 2025, and potential tariff modifications or the imposition of tariffs or export controls by other countries there is significant economic uncertainty. The extent and duration of tariffs and the resulting impact on macroeconomic conditions and on our business are uncertain and may depend on various factors beyond our control. We are closely monitoring the potential for the imposition of new or additional U.S. tariffs on imports, as well as potential retaliatory tariffs or other measures other countries may impose on U.S. imports, that may adversely affect the global economy. We are currently uncertain as to the ultimate impact these measure may have given the rapidly changing environment surrounding tariffs and other related political topics; however, if enacted as currently proposed, we expect that the proposed tariffs would primarily impact our North America segment as we procure fasteners and a small number of other products from countries that will be subjected to the these tariffs. Additionally, economic pressures on our customers, including the potential of higher inflation, fluctuations in consumer confidence, driven by economic concerns or price increases, such as those we recently announced, could reduce demand for our products and services negatively affecting our net sales and profitability in the future.

Previous wording

In prior years, our sales were heavily seasonal with operating results varying from quarter to quarter depending on weather conditions that could delay construction starts. Our sales and income have historically been lower in the first and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters of a fiscal year. Increased tariffs (as noted above), political uncertainty, mortgage interest rates, and rising costs can also have an effect on our gross and operating profits as well. Due to efforts in diversifying our geographic footprint, product offerings, and changing our path to market in the U.S., sales from our product lines, customer base, and customer purchases are becoming less seasonal. Changes in raw material cost could impact the amount of inventory on-hand, and negatively affect our gross profit and operating margins depending on the timing of raw material purchases or how much sales prices can be increased to offset any increases in raw material costs. Changes in labor, freight and warehousing costs, could also negatively impact gross profit depending on timing and amount of sales price can be increased to offset the higher costs.

Previous wording

Historically, our North America segment has generated more revenues from wood construction products compared to concrete construction products. North America net sales increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to price increase that took effect in June 2025 and incremental sales from the Company's 2024 acquisitions. The increases were partly offset by decreased sales volumes of 1.3% and the negative effect of approximately $2.2 million in foreign currency translation. Our wood construction product net sales increased 4.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to September 30, 2024. Our concrete construction product net sales increased 6.2% over the same periods. For 2025, U.S. housing starts could decline in the mid-single digit range from 2024 levels. We believe we will be able to continue to grow volumes above the U.S. housing starts market, one of our ambitions.

Current wording

Historically, our North America segment has generated more revenues from wood construction products compared to concrete construction products. North America net sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to price increases that took effect in June 2025 and October 2025, a slight increase in sales volumes and the positive effect of approximately $1.2 million in foreign currency translation. Our wood construction product net sales increased 8.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to March 31, 2025. Our concrete construction product net sales increased 18.6% over the same periods.

Operating income increased 3.5% to $366.5 million. The increase was primarily due to higher net sales, partially offset by higher operating expenses. The operating expense increases were driven primarily by higher personnel costs, variable compensation, subscription licensing costs, partially offset by decreases in professional fees, travel related costs, and advertising and tradeshow costs. Additional incremental investments in the business willbe limited until the U.S. housing market shows long-term improvement.

Current wording

Operating income increased 12.8% to $118.3 million. The increase was primarily due to higher net sales and lower operating expenses, partially offset by increased cost of goods sold reflecting primarily the impact from tariffs and higher material costs, labor and factory and overhead costs, as a percentage of nets sales. The operating expenses decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel costs, professional fees and variable incentive compensation. Additional incremental investments in the business willbe limited until the U.S. housing market shows long-term improvement.

We completed construction of our Columbus, Ohio facility in the second quarter and the construction of our new Gallatin, Tennessee facility was mostly completed in the third quarter with operations to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025. The cost of both projects was at or below budget. These facilities are expected to improve our overall service, production efficiencies and safety in the workplace, as well as reduce our reliance on certain outsourced finished goods and component products. These facilities will help ensure we have ample capacity to meet our customer needs. These investments reinforce our core business model differentiators to remain the partner of choice as we continue to produce products locally and ensure superior levels of customer service.

Operating income increased $8.1 million and operating margin increased to 10.8% from 8.9%due to lower integration expenses and slightly lower operating expenses, negatively affected by foreign currency transactions. In local currency, operating expenses decreased by 3%. We currently anticipate Europe results for 2025 to be impacted by economic headwinds but also believe in the long term potential given Europe's on-going housing shortage (with an increasing use of wood construction) and new environmental regulations for which we have products and solutions.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

We are closely monitoring the recent tariff and trade policy actions taken by the U.S. and foreign governments as well as the recent Middle East conflict. As the situation continues to remain fluid due to the rapidly changing global trade environment, we are still evaluating the potential implications of these events on our business. While we are largely domestically sourced, we continue to monitor macroeconomic trends from these events such as the impact of interest rates, disruptions to trade or transportation routes, cyberattack, changing foreign exchange rates, inflation, the effects of recently implemented tariffs, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs in markets where we and our supplier operate. Additionally, economic pressures on our customers, including the potential of higher inflation, fluctuations in foreign currencies and consumer confidence, driven by economic concerns or price increases as a result of these events, such as those we previously announced, could reduce demand for our products and services negatively affecting our net sales and profitability in the future.
