"Our results for the quarter reflect solid execution as our team effectively navigated a dynamic operating environment," said Donald Nolan, Executive Chair and CEO. "We continued to advance our strategic priorities while maintaining strong operational performance across the business. We also maintained a disciplined capital allocation approach, returning cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. In parallel, we are progressing integration planning for the pending Kalwall acquisition, which we expect to support our long-term growth strategy following its anticipated early July closing."

First-Quarter Consolidated Results (First Quarter Fiscal 2027 compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2026)

Net sales decreased 1.1% to $342.7 million, driven by lower volume, partially offset by favorable pricing as we pass on higher material and freight costs and mix.

Gross margin rose 20 basis points to 21.9%, primarily due to price, productivity improvements including savings from Project Fortify 2, and favorable mix, partially offset by higher material and freight costs and impacts from lower volume.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 330 basis points to 16.4%, primarily due to benefits from cost savings of Fortify Phase 2.

Operating income increased to $18.8 million from $6.9 million, and operating margin increased 350 basis points to 5.5%.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $32.1 million, compared to $34.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 9.4%, compared to 9.9%. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by higher material and freight costs and the impacts from lower volume, partially offset by productivity improvements and benefits from cost savings of Fortify Phase 2.

Interest expense decreased to $2.8 million, compared to $3.8 million, primarily due to lower average debt balance.

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.54, compared to a diluted loss per share of $0.13, and adjusted diluted EPS increased to $0.57, compared to $0.56.

First Quarter Segment Results (First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2026)

Architectural Metals

Net sales declined 4.8% to $122.4 million, driven by lower volume, partially offset by favorable price and product mix. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.7 million, or 11.2% of net sales, compared to $9.4 million, or 7.3% of net sales. The higher adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by favorable mix and improved productivity and cost savings from Fortify Phase 2, partially offset by the impact from lower volume and the net impact from higher aluminum costs.

Architectural Services

Net sales increased 8.2% to $115.2 million, primarily due to increased volume. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.1 million, or 5.3% of net sales, compared to $6.1 million, or 5.7% of net sales. The slight decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by project mix, mostly offset by benefits from actions of Project Fortify 2 to reduce the impact of tariffs and the impact from increased volume. Segment backlog¹ at the end of the quarter was $734.5 million compared to $682.9 million at the end of fiscal year 2026.

Architectural Glass

Net sales declined 7.6% to $67.7 million, driven by lower price and volume, partially offset by favorable mix. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.9 million, or 8.7% of net sales, compared to $13.4 million, or 18.3% of net sales. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by the impact of lower price, volume, and inflation of material costs.

Performance Surfaces

Net sales increased 4.9% to $44.3 million due to increased volume and favorable price. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.6 million, or 14.8% of net sales compared to $8.0 million, or 18.8% of net sales. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by the net impact of higher material and freight costs, partially offset by productivity.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other adjusted EBITDA was an expense of $0.2 million, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year, primarily due to an insurance-related benefit.

Financial Condition

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter was $7.4 million, compared to $19.8 million net cash used by operating activities in the prior year period.

The Company returned $15.3 million of cash to shareholders, through $9.7 million of share repurchases and $5.6 million of dividends.

Quarter-end long-term debt slightly increased to $237.4 million, bringing the Consolidated Leverage Ratio² (as defined in the Company’s credit agreement) to 1.3x at the end of the quarter.

Fiscal 2027 Outlook

Based on current macroeconomic conditions and excluding any impacts from the pending Kalwall acquisition, the Company continues to expect net sales to be in the range of $1.38 billion to $1.43 billion and adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $2.70 to $3.25. The Company’s outlook also continues to assume interest expense of approximately $10 million, an adjusted effective tax rate of 26% to 27%, and capital expenditures between $35 million and $40 million.

Assuming the pending Kalwall acquisition closes in early July, the Company expects net sales in the range of $1.43 billion to $1.48 billion. While the acquisition is expected to be accretive to adjusted diluted EPS, it is not expected to materially change the Company’s fiscal 2027 adjusted diluted EPS outlook of $2.70 to $3.25. The Company also expects interest expense to be approximately $14 million, an adjusted effective tax rate of 26% to 27%, and capital expenditures between $35 million and $40 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance, measure operational profitability on a consistent basis, as a factor in determining executive compensation, and to provide enhanced transparency to the investment community. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the reported financial results of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies. This release and other financial communications may contain the following non-GAAP measures:

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are used by the Company to provide meaningful supplemental information about its operating performance by excluding amounts that the Company does not consider to be part of core operating results, to enhance comparability of results from period to period. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because it cannot reliably predict the timing and magnitude of certain items, including acquisition-related costs, integration costs, restructuring-related items, and other discrete items that could materially affect GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin 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.

Consolidated Leverage Ratio is calculated as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness minus Unrestricted Cash at the end of the current period, divided by Consolidated EBITDA. All capitalized and undefined terms used in this bullet and not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Company’s credit agreement dated July 19, 2024, which is included as an exhibit to the Company’s most recent Annual Report on form 10-K. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking expected Consolidated Leverage Ratio to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort because management cannot reliably predict all the necessary components of that GAAP measure. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliation could imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Backlog is defined as the dollar amount of signed contracts or firm orders, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process, which is expected to be recognized as revenue. Backlog is an operating measure used by management to assess future potential sales revenue. It is most meaningful for the Architectural Services segment, due to the longer-term nature of their projects. Backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of contract profitability. Backlog should not be used as the sole indicator of future revenue because the Company has a substantial number of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period that are not included in backlog.
