NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

(1)
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The Company's operations are seasonal; for this and other reasons, financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
Standard
 
Description
 
Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2014-09
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) And All Related ASUs
 
The standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The provisions of the standard, as well as all subsequently issued clarifications to the standard, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard can be adopted using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach.
 
The Company has adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method. The Company recognized the cumulative- effect adjustment of initially applying this standard of $274,000 to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for that period. Refer to Note 4 for further disclosure of the financial statement effect and other significant matters as a result of the adoption of this standard.




Date of adoption: Q1 2018
ASU No. 2016-15
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
 
The standard provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues to reduce diversity in reporting. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.
 
The Company has adopted this standard and it did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


Date of adoption: Q1 2018
ASU No. 2016-16
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
 
The standard allows an entity to recognize income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The provisions of this standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance.
 
The Company has adopted this standard and it did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.





Date of adoption: Q1 2018
ASU No. 2018-02 Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
 
The standard allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in any interim period.
 
The Company has early adopted this standard. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company recorded an adjustment of $350,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity as of the beginning of the January 1, 2018, and will record any subsequent period adjustments, if changes to provisional amounts result in additional amounts stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Date of adoption: Q1 2018

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Standard
Description
Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2016-02
Leases (Topic 842)
The standard requires lessees to recognize most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, but record expenses on the statement of operations in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements and requires a modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases, whereby the standard will be applied to the earliest year presented. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including the impact on the Company's current lease portfolio from both a lessor and lessee perspective. The adoption of this standard will primarily result in an increase in the assets and liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and related disclosures.



Planned date of adoption: Q1 2019

REVENUE

Sales includes revenue from contracts with customers from roof and foundation ventilation products; centralized mail systems and electronic package solutions; rain dispersion products and roofing accessories; expanded and perforated metal; expansion joints and structural bearings; designing, engineering, manufacturing and installation of solar racking systems and greenhouse structures.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when, or as, the Company transfers control of promised products or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or service. Refer to Note 16 of this quarterly report on Form 10Q for additional information related to revenue recognized by timing of transfer of control by reportable segment.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within a range from 30 to 60 days, or in certain cases, up front deposits. In circumstances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that the Company's contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from sales.

10



Performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and significant judgments

The majority of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the Company transfers control of the promised product at a point in time, which is determined when the customer has legal title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and the Company has a present right to payment for the product. These contracts with customers include promised products, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Accordingly, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on an observable price of the products as the Company frequently sells these products separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. These products are generally sold with rights of return and these contracts may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount to predict the consideration to which the Company will be entitled, and only to the extent it is probable that a subsequent change in estimate will not result in a significant revenue reversal when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Sales returns, allowances, and customer incentives, including rebates, are treated as reductions to the sales transaction price and based largely on an assessment of all information (i.e., historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company, and estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available.

Performance obligations satisfied over time and significant judgments

For contracts with customers which the Company satisfies a promise to the customer to construct a certain asset that the customer controls as it is being created or enhanced, or a promise to provide a product that has no alternative use to the Company and the Company has enforceable rights to payment, the Company satisfies the performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time. For the contracts to construct a certain asset, the Company determines that the customer controls the asset while it is being constructed because the performance obligation is satisfied on the customer's premise, and the customer controls any work in process arising from the Company's performance. For the contracts of products that have no alternative use and the Company has enforceable right to payment, the Company identifies these products as ones that are not a standard inventory item or the Company cannot readily direct the product to another customer or use without incurring a significant economic loss, or significant costs to rework the product.

When the promised products and services are to construct a certain asset that the customer controls, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company uses the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of the single performance obligation.

When the promised products do not have an alternative use to the Company and the Company has enforceable rights to payment, the transaction price is based on the estimated standalone selling price using the expected cost plus a margin approach. These promised products are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

For the above contracts with customers with respect to which the Company satisfies a performance obligation over time, the Company recognizes revenue based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The cost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on the contract as the incurred costs is proportionate to the Company's progress in satisfying the performance obligation. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recognized proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill a contract include all direct costs related to contract performance. Selling and administrative expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Provision for loss on an uncompleted performance obligation is recognized in the period in which such loss is determined.

The Company regularly reviews the progress and performance of the performance obligation recognized over time under the cost-to-cost method. Any adjustments to net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current or prior periods based on a performance obligation's cost-to-cost measure of progress.


11


The Company also recognizes revenues from services contracts over time. For these contracts, in order to estimate the standalone selling price of the performance obligation, the Company uses the adjusted market assessment approach, which is to evaluate the market in which the performance obligation is sold and estimates the price that customers in the market would be willing to pay. Further, the Company recognizes revenue over time during the term of the agreement as the customer is simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits provided throughout the Company's performance. Therefore due to control transferring over time, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the contract period.

Remaining performance obligations

As of March 31, 2018, the Company's remaining performance obligations are part of contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. Therefore, any remaining performance obligations are not required to be disclosed.

Costs in excess of billings

Costs in excess of billings includes unbilled amounts resulting from revenues under contracts with customers that are satisfied over time and when the cost-to-cost measurement method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Costs in excess of billings are classified as current assets and are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Billings in excess of cost

Billings in excess of cost includes billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue, which includes advanced payments, up-front payments, and progress billing payments. Billings in excess of cost are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period and are classified as current liabilities. To determine the revenue recognized in the period from the beginning balance of billings in excess of cost, the contract liability as of the beginning of the period is recognized as revenue on a contract by contract basis when the Company incurs costs to satisfy the performance obligation related to the individual contract. Once the beginning contract liability balance for an individual contract has been fully recognized as revenue, any additional payments received in the period are recognized as revenue once the related costs have been incurred.

Costs to obtain a contract with a customer

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. As of March 31, 2018, the Company does not have any open contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year, and therefore, we expense such costs as incurred. These incremental costs include, but are not limited to, sales commissions incurred to obtain a contract with a customer.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

The Company's contract assets and contract liabilities consist of costs in excess of billings and billings in excess of cost, respectively.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, only to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application using the modified retrospective method. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative period information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact to the Company's net income on an ongoing basis.

A majority of the Company's revenues continue to be recognized when products are shipped or service is provided and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss. For certain custom fabricated products for which there is no alternative use and the Company has enforceable rights to payment for performance to date where revenue was previously recognized when products were shipped, the Company now recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies its performance over time in accordance with ASC 606.

ACQUISITIONS

On February 22, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Package Concierge. Package Concierge is a leading provider of multifamily electronic package delivery locker systems in the United States.

The acquisition of Package Concierge is expected to enable the Company to expand its position in the fast-growing package delivery solutions market. The results of Package Concierge have been included in the Company's consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition (within the Company's Residential Products segment). The final aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisition of Package Concierge was $18.9 million.

The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The excess consideration was recorded as goodwill and approximated $16.8 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified including workforce additions, growth opportunities, and increased presence in the building products markets.

The allocation of the purchase consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands):

The Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 9, 2015 (the "Senior Credit Agreement") was amended to convert our secured asset based credit facility into a secured cash flow revolver, and terminates on December 9, 2020.
The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $300 million. The Company has the option to request additional financing from the banks to either increase the revolving credit facility to $500 million or to provide a term loan of up to $200 million. The Senior Credit Agreement contains three financial covenants. As of March 31, 2018, the Company is in compliance with all three covenants.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement are secured by the trade receivables, inventory, personal property, equipment, and certain real property of the Company’s significant domestic subsidiaries. Interest rates on the revolving credit facility are based on the LIBOR plus an additional margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans based on the Total Leverage Ratio.
In addition, the revolving credit facility is subject to an undrawn commitment fee ranging between 0.20% and 0.30% based on the Total Leverage Ratio and the daily average undrawn balance.
Standby letters of credit of $9.7 million have been issued under the Senior Credit Agreement on behalf of the Company as of March 31, 2018. These letters of credit reduce the amount otherwise available under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $290.3 million of availability under the revolving credit facility. No borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
On January 31, 2013, the Company issued $210 million of 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes ("6.25% Notes") due February 1, 2021.The provisions of the 6.25% Notes include, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, asset sales, affiliate transactions, dividends, and other restricted payments. Dividend payments are subject to annual limits and interest is paid semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
The shareholders of the Company have authorized: (1) the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") that allows the Company to grant equity-based incentive compensation awards, in the form of options, restricted shares, restricted units, performance shares, and performance stock units, to eligible participants; and (2) the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("Non-Employee Directors Plan") that allows the Company to grant awards of shares of the Company's common stock to non-employee Directors of the Company and permits the Directors to defer receipt of such shares pursuant to the terms of the Non-Employee Directors Plan. The Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan") was amended in 2015 to terminate issuance of further awards from the Prior Plan.

Equity Based Awards - Settled in Cash
The Company's equity-based liabilities include performance based stock units settled in cash and a management stock purchase plan. As of March 31, 2018, the Company's total share-based liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheet was $31.8 million, of which $19.7 million was included in non-current liabilities.
Performance Stock Units - Settled in Cash
The Company awarded performance stock units ("PSUs") that will convert to cash after three years based upon a one year performance period. The cost of these awards is recognized over the requisite vesting period. The PSUs earned over the performance period are determined based on the Company’s actual ROIC relative to the ROIC targeted for the performance period.
During the 2016 performance period, the participants earned an aggregate of 256,000 PSUs, representing 200% the targeted 2016 award of 128,000. This award will convert to cash payable in the first quarter of 2019.

During the 2015 performance period, the participants earned an aggregate of 438,000 PSUs, representing 200% of the targeted 2015 award of 219,000. This award converted to cash and was paid in the first quarter of 2018.

Management Stock Purchase Plan
The Management Stock Purchase Plan ("MSPP") provides participants the ability to defer a portion of their compensation or Directors’ fees, which deferral is converted to restricted stock units, and credited to an account. Employees eligible to defer a portion of their compensation also receive a company-matching award in restricted stock units equal to a percentage of their compensation. Directors do not receive any company-matching on amounts deferred. The account represents a share-based liability that is converted to and settled in cash payable to participants upon retirement or a termination of their service to the Company.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

20


The Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company’s only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair value of outstanding debt net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $214.0 million and $213.8 million, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $210.2 million and $210.0 million, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s 6.25% Notes is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices adjusted for unamortized debt issuance costs. 
  
(12)
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

For certain divestiture transactions completed in prior years, the Company has agreed to indemnify the buyer for various liabilities that may arise after the disposal date, subject to limits of time and amount. The Company is a party to certain claims made under these indemnification provisions. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has a contingent liability recorded for such provisions related to discontinued operations. Management does not believe that the outcome of these claims, or other claims, would significantly affect the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

(13)
EXIT ACTIVITY COSTS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

The Company has incurred exit activity costs and asset impairment charges as a result of its 80/20 simplification and portfolio management initiatives. These initiatives have resulted in the identification of low-volume, low margin, internally-produced products which have been or will be outsourced or discontinued, and in the sale and exiting of less profitable businesses or products lines.
Exit activity costs were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 which related to contract terminations, severance, and other moving and closing costs. In addition, the Company sold and leased back a facility which resulted in a gain, which was partially offset by inventory impairment charges incurred for discontinued products.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred asset impairment charges and exit activity costs resulting from the above initiatives. Also, as a result of these initiatives, the Company closed three facilities during the first quarter of 2017.
The following tables set forth the asset impairment charges and exit activity costs incurred by segment during the three months ended March 31, related to the restructuring activities described above (in thousands):

Effective tax rate

%
The change in the effective tax rate year over year is primarily due to the reduction in U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was greater than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to state taxes and nondeductible permanent differences partially offset by favorable discrete items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to net deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items partially offset by state taxes and $0.9 million of pretax losses generated by the European residential solar racking business for which no tax benefit has been recorded as such benefit is not expected to be realizable.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act") was signed into law. On this day, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. The Company has recognized the provisional tax impacts related to the one-time transition tax, withholding tax and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and included these amounts in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. As there is some uncertainty around the grandfathering provisions related to performance-based executive compensation, we have not included a provisional amount for deferred tax assets related to performance-based executive compensation as we believe that all of our plans are grandfathered. Our preliminary estimate of the one-time transition tax and the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities is subject to the finalization of management’s analysis related to certain matters, such as developing interpretations of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Reform Act, changes to certain estimates and amounts related to the earnings and profits of certain subsidiaries and the filing of our tax returns, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions interpreting the 2017 Tax Reform Act may require further adjustments and changes in our estimates.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized an adjustment to the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017. The following table sets forth the components of the adjustment which were recorded in income tax expense from continuing operations during three month period ended March 31, 2018, (in thousands):
Remeasurement of certain deferred tax balances (1)
 
114

One-time transition tax (2)
 
(233
)
Non-deductible performance based compensation (3)
 
51

Net benefit recorded to provisional income tax expense
 
(68
)

(1) The Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. We recorded a provisional income tax benefit of $16.2 million at December 31, 2017 related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax balances.
 

22


(2) The Tax Reform Act provided for a one-time transition tax on post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits (“E&P”). The Company recognized a provisional $3.7 million of income tax expense at December 31, 2017 related to the one-time transition tax and related repatriation.

(3) The Tax Reform Act repealed the performance-based compensation exceptions to Section 162(m) $1.0 million deduction limitation. The Company did not provide for a provisional adjustment at December 31, 2017.

The Company has elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, or during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. We have made sufficient progress in our calculations to reasonably estimate the effect on our effective tax rate. The adjustment increased our effective tax rate by 0.6%. We will continue to refine our calculations, which may result in changes to this amount.

The final determination of the one-time transition tax and the re-measurement of our deferred assets and liabilities will be completed as additional information becomes available, but no later than one year from the enactment of the 2017 Tax Reform Act.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated other Comprehensive Income, which gives entities the option to reclassify retained earning tax effects resulting from Tax Reform related to items in AOCI that the FASB refers to as having been stranded in AOCI. The Company must adopt this guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance, including the period Tax Reform was enacted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2018-02. As a result of adopting this standard, we reclassified $350,000 from AOCI to retained earnings.

Overview
Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading manufacturer and distributor of building products for residential, industrial, infrastructure, renewable energy and conservation markets.
The Company operates and reports its results in the following three reporting segments, entitled:
Residential Products;
Industrial and Infrastructure Products; and
Renewable Energy and Conservation.

Our Residential Products segment services residential repair and remodeling activity and new residential housing construction with products including roof and foundation ventilation products, centralized mail systems and electronic package solutions, rain dispersion products and accessories. This segment's products are sold through major retail home centers, building material wholesalers, distributor groups, residential contractors and directly to multi-family property management companies.
Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment focuses on a variety of markets including industrial and commercial construction, highway and bridge construction, automotive, airports and energy and power generation markets with products including perimeter security, expanded and perforated metal, plank grating, as well as, expansion joints and structural bearings for roadways and bridges. This segment sells its products through steel fabricators and distributors, commercial and transportation contractors, and original equipment manufacturers.
Our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment focuses on the design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of solar racking systems and commercial, institutional, and retail greenhouse structures. This segment's services and products are provided directly to developers, power companies, solar energy contractors, and institutional and commercial growers of plants.
As of March 31, 2018, we operated 42 facilities, comprised of 30 manufacturing facilities, six distribution centers, and six offices, which are located in 17 states, Canada, China, and Japan. These facilities give us a base of operations to provide customer support, delivery, service and quality to a number of regional and national customers and providing us with manufacturing and distribution primarily throughout North America and, to a lesser extent, Asia.

Business Strategy
Our business strategy focuses on significantly elevating and accelerating the growth and financial returns of the Company. We strive to deliver best-in-class, sustainable value creation for our shareholders for the long-term, and to generate more earnings at a higher rate of return with a more efficient use of capital year over year.
Our business strategy has four key elements, or "pillars," which consist of operational excellence, product innovation, portfolio management and acquisitions as a strategic accelerator. We believe that the continuing implementation of these pillars will produce transformational change in the Company’s portfolio and performance, resulting in sustainable value creation for our shareholders.
Operational excellence is our first pillar in this strategy. We focus on reducing complexity, adjusting costs and simplifying our product offering through 80/20 initiatives (“80/20”). 80/20 is the practice of focusing on our largest and best opportunities (the “80”) and eliminating complexity associated with less profitable opportunities (the “20”). Implementation of 80/20, along with in-lining and market rate of demand replenishment initiatives and outsourcing initiatives for our “B” products across our businesses will improve our profitability. Our next step in operational excellence is to concentrate on selling and marketing strategies, known as trade focus, to drive organic growth by developing new and innovative products which respond to our customers’ needs to simplify their operations.
Product innovation is our second strategic pillar where we focus on products with patent protection, developed internally or through acquired product lines. Innovation is centered on the allocation of new and existing resources to opportunities that we believe will produce sustainable returns. Our focus is on driving top line growth with new and innovative products. We are focused on those products and technologies that have relevance to the end-user and can be differentiated from our competition. We believe that development of these innovative products and technologies will support our objectives to produce sustainable returns for our shareholders.
The third pillar of our strategy is portfolio management, which involves the evaluation of our product lines, customers and end markets with the objective of allocating leadership time and financial resources to the highest-potential platforms and businesses. We view portfolio management as a continuous process that will remain an important part of our strategy as we look to improve the Company’s long-term financial performance. We are currently supporting all of the businesses in our portfolio today.
The fourth pillar of our strategy is acquisitions, which we consider an important part of the Company’s transformation. Our low leverage, high liquidity and strong cash flow enables us to consider larger acquisition targets. Our executive leadership team continues to invest time and energy in prospecting for and vetting of potential acquisition candidates. However, we remain committed to only making acquisitions which will contribute long-term value to the Company and its shareholders. We continue to seek acquisition prospects in attractive end markets, with unique value propositions and patented products or technologies. Our target markets include postal and parcel solutions, residential building products, perimeter security, infrastructure, renewable energy and conservation.
Overall, we believe our business strategy has enabled us to achieve stronger financial results, make more efficient use of capital, and deliver higher shareholder returns. We have and expect to continue to restructure our operations, including consolidation of facilities, reducing overhead costs, and curtailing investments in inventory, which enables us to better react to fluctuations in commodity costs and customer demand and has contributed to both improved margins and cash flows.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
On February 22, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Package Concierge for approximately $19 million subject to a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments provided for in the stock purchase agreement. The acquisition was financed through cash on hand. Package Concierge is a leading provider of multifamily electronic package delivery locker systems in the United States. The results of operations of Package Concierge have been included within the Residential Products segment of the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
On February 6, 2017, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its U.S. bar grating product line assets to a third party. The Company had previously announced, on December 2, 2016, its intentions to exit its U.S. bar grating product line and its European residential solar racking business as part of its portfolio management initiative. This action resulted in the sale and closing of 3 facilities in early 2017. These assets were a part of our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment.

35


Economic Conditions
The end markets our businesses serve are subject to economic conditions that are influenced by various factors. These factors include but are not limited to changes in general economic conditions, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity costs, demand for residential construction, demand for repair and remodeling, governmental policies and funding, tax policies and incentives, trade policies, the level of non-residential construction and infrastructure projects, need for protection of high value assets, demand for renewable energy sources, and climate change. We believe the key elements of our strategy will allow us to respond timely to changes in these factors.

Consolidated net sales increased by $8.7 million, or 4.2%, to $215.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The 4.2% increase was driven by higher sales in both the Renewable Energy and Conservation segment and the Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment, the result of a 2.6% increase in volume, along with a 1.5% increase in pricing to customers.

Net sales in our Residential Products segment decreased 0.6%, or $0.6 million to $103.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $104.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The slight decrease was the net result of weather related reduction in demand for ventilation-related building products, offset by higher sales in rain management products and electronic package solutions, and an increase in pricing to customers.
Net sales in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment increased 8.2%, or $4.1 million to $54.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $50.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by demand for industrial products, including our new perimeter security

36


solutions, along with an increase in pricing to customers. Backlog for both the infrastructure and industrial businesses was higher versus prior-year levels.
Net sales in our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment increased 10.0%, or $5.2 million to $57.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $51.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was the result of higher demand in both our domestic solar and conservation markets. Also, this segment had higher backlog entering 2018, which contributed to increased revenue in the current year quarter.
Our consolidated gross margin decreased to 22.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 23.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This decrease was largely due to product mix in both our Residential Products segment and our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment, and to a lesser extent, a less favorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices. Partially offsetting the decrease were contributions from our new perimeter security solutions in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $5.1 million, or 12.9%, to $34.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $39.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The $5.1 million decrease was the combined result of $2.5 million of lower performance-based compensation expenses, the effect of the lower price of the Company's shares, and a $2.5 million decrease in restructuring charges relating to our 80/20 initiatives, as compared to the prior year quarter. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 19.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Our Residential Products segment generated an operating margin of 12.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 15.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in operating margin is due to the effects of product mix and increased material costs, net of pricing actions.
Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment generated an operating margin of 4.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to (0.1)% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The improvement was largely the result of higher demand for our innovative products, including perimeter security solutions, operational efficiencies resulting from the Company's 80/20 initiatives, and the impact of costs incurred in the prior-year quarter related to our 80/20 simplification initiatives.
The Renewable Energy and Conservation segment generated an operating margin of 7.1% in the current year quarter compared to 6.4% in the prior year quarter. The improvement was largely the result of costs incurred in the prior-year quarter related to our 80/20 simplification initiatives, partially offset by the impact of product mix and, to a lesser extent, by an unfavorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices as compared to the prior year quarter.

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $3.2 million from $9.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $6.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. This decrease from the prior year quarter was largely due to a $1.5 million decrease in performance-based compensation expenses, the result of the lower price of the Company's shares as compared to the prior year quarter.
The Company recorded other income of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and other expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in other income from the prior year quarter was primarily the result of foreign currency fluctuations.

37


Interest expense decreased by $0.3 million to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, no amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
We recognized a provision for income taxes of $2.8 million and $2.1 million, with effective tax rates of 25.2% and 33.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate year over year is primarily due to the reduction in U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2018 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to state taxes and nondeductible permanent differences partially offset by favorable discrete items. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to net deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items partially offset by state taxes and $0.9 million of pretax losses generated by the European residential solar racking business for which no tax benefit has been recorded as such benefit is not expected to be realizable.
Outlook

For 2018, our innovative products in each of our reporting segments are gaining traction, including our perimeter security solutions and solar tracker solution, and we are encouraged by the initial signs of a turnaround in the infrastructure market. We are also encouraged by the progress our teams are making in recovering material cost increases through more favorable pricing. Our goals for 2018 are to drive sustainable organic growth through the acceleration of new product development initiatives, implement 80/20 simplification projects, and seek value-added acquisitions in attractive end markets.

On a comparative basis, excluding the $12.5 million, or $0.39 per share, one-time benefit from tax reform recorded in 2017, we expect to once again have generated increased profits at a higher rate of return with a more efficient use of capital in 2018.

The Company is maintaining its guidance for revenues and earnings for the full year 2018. We expect 2018 consolidated revenues to exceed $1 billion, considering modest growth across our end markets and continued traction from innovative products. GAAP EPS for the full year 2018 is expected to be between $1.75 and $1.87 per diluted share, as compared to $1.95 in 2017, which included the aforementioned one-time $0.39 per share benefit from tax reform.

For the second quarter of 2018, the Company is expecting revenue in the range of $257 million to $267 million as a result of growth across all end markets and continued traction from innovative products. GAAP earnings for the second quarter 2018 are expected to be between $0.48 and $0.53 per diluted share.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal capital requirements are to fund our operations' working capital and capital improvements and to fund acquisitions. We will continue to invest in growth opportunities as appropriate while focusing on working capital efficiency and profit improvement opportunities to minimize the cash invested to operate our business. We have successfully generated positive cash flows from operating activities which have funded our capital requirements and recent acquisitions as noted below in “Cash Flows.”

On December 9, 2015, we entered into the Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement") which includes a 5-year, $300 million revolving credit facility and provides the Company with access to capital and improved financial flexibility. As of March 31, 2018, our liquidity of $491.0 million consisted of $200.7 million of cash plus $290.3 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. We believe this liquidity, together with the cash expected to be generated from operations, should be sufficient to fund working capital needs and simplification initiatives that likely will need cash to fund transitions and future growth. We continue to search for strategic acquisitions and larger acquisitions may require additional borrowings and/or the issuance of our common stock.
Our Senior Credit Agreement provides the Company with liquidity and capital resources for use by our U.S. operations. Historically, our foreign operations have generated cash flow from operations sufficient to invest in working capital and fund their capital improvements. As of March 31, 2018, our foreign subsidiaries held $27.8 million of cash in U.S.

38


dollars. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act") signed into law on December 22, 2017, cash held by foreign subsidiaries is expected to be repatriated to the U.S.
Over the long-term, we expect that future obligations, including strategic business opportunities such as acquisitions, may be financed through a number of sources, including internally available cash, availability under our revolving credit facility, new debt financing, the issuance of equity securities, or any combination of the above. Any potential acquisitions are evaluated based on our acquisition strategy, which includes the enhancement of our existing products, operations, or capabilities, expanding our access to new products, markets, and customers, and the improvement of shareholder value. Our 2017 acquisition of Package Concierge was funded by cash on hand.
These expectations are forward-looking statements based upon currently available information and may change if conditions in the credit and equity markets deteriorate or other circumstances change. To the extent that operating cash flows are lower than current levels, or sources of financing are not available or not available at acceptable terms, our future liquidity may be adversely affected.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash used in operating activities totaling $22.2 million was primarily driven by an investment in working capital and other net assets of $37.5 million, partially offset by net income of $8.4 million and $6.9 million from non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization, stock compensation, and exit activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 totaled $2.3 million, primarily composed of net income of $4.0 million plus $6.4 million from non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization, stock compensation, and exit activities, partially offset by an investment in working capital and other net assets of $8.1 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the cash invested in working capital and other net assets of $37.5 million included a $8.9 million increase in inventory along with a $1.7 million decrease in accounts payable and a $33.3 million decrease in accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities partially offset by a $4.9 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $1.5 million decrease in other current assets and other assets. The increase in inventory is due to an increase in manufacturing activity. Accounts payable decreased due to the timing of quarter end vendor payments. The decrease in accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities of $33.3 million was largely due to the decrease in liabilities for performance based incentive plans and the timing of interest payments made on long-term debt as well as accrued customer rebate payments made during the first quarter. The decrease in accounts receivable is the result of high sales volume at the end of 2017 resulting in higher accounts receivable balances at December 31, 2017 which converted to cash during the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in total other assets is primarily due to the timing of tax payments.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $1.8 million primarily consisted of net proceeds of $2.8 million from the sale of property and equipment offset by capital expenditures of $1.0 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $10.8 million primarily consisted of $18.6 million of net cash paid for the acquisitions of Package Concierge and Nexus along with capital expenditures of $1.4 million offset by net proceeds of $9.2 million from the sale of property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $0.6 million consisted of the purchase of treasury stock of $0.8 million offset by the proceeds received from the issuance of common stock of $0.2 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $0.9 million primarily consisted of the purchase of treasury stock.

Senior Credit Agreement and Senior Subordinated Notes
Our Senior Credit Agreement is committed through December 9, 2020. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement are secured by the trade receivables, inventory, personal property, equipment, and certain real property of the Company’s significant domestic subsidiaries. The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $300 million. The Company can request additional financing from the banks to increase the revolving credit facility to $500 million or to provide a term loan of up to $200 million subject to conditions set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement. The Senior Credit Agreement contains three financial covenants. As of March 31, 2018, the Company is in compliance with all three covenants.

Interest rates on the revolving credit facility are based on the LIBOR plus an additional margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans based on the Total Leverage Ratio. In addition, the revolving credit facility is subject to an undrawn commitment fee ranging between 0.20% and 0.30% based on the Total Leverage Ratio and the daily average undrawn balance.
As of March 31, 2018, we had $290.3 million of availability under the Senior Credit Agreement net of outstanding letters of credit of $9.7 million. No amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of either March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.
In addition to our Senior Credit Agreement, the Company issued $210.0 million of 6.25% Notes in January 2013 which are due February 1, 2021. Provisions of the 6.25% Notes include, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, asset sales, affiliate transactions, dividends, and other restricted payments. Dividend payments are subject to annual limits and interest is paid semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

Off Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
