NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10-Q) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual financial statements and notes. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 1, 2014. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended November 29, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of November 29, 2014 and March 1, 2014, and the results of operations and comprehensive earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended November 29, 2014 and November 30, 2013, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended November 29, 2014 and November 30, 2013.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February. Each interim quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the months of May, August and November.
The results of the Company's Brazilian subsidiary within the Architectural Glass segment are reported on a two-month lag. There were no significant intervening events that would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had they been recorded during the nine months ended November 29, 2014.
In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended November 29, 2014, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing $100.0 million revolving credit facility. The amount of the facility was increased to $125.0 million; the expiration date was extended to December 2019, and the maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio was increased to 3.00. No other provisions of the original agreement were materially amended by the amended credit agreement.
2. | New Accounting Standards |
In May 2014, the FASB issued a standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes 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. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, Apogee's fiscal 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first nine months of fiscal 2015 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. | Share-Based Compensation |
Total share-based compensation expense included in the results of operations was $3.7 million and $3.5 million for the nine-month periods ended November 29, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively.
Stock Options and SARs
There were no options or SARs issued in the first nine months of either fiscal 2015 or 2014. The following table summarizes the award transactions for the nine months ended November 29, 2014:

Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.8 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended November 29, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively. The amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant for options exercised was $2.1 million during the nine months ended November 29, 2014 and $2.4 million during the prior-year period.
Nonvested Shares and Share Units
The following table summarizes the nonvested share award transactions, including nonvested share units, for the nine months ended November 29, 2014:

At November 29, 2014, there was $6.1 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 23 months. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine-month period of fiscal 2015 was $11.3 million.

6. | Marketable Securities |
At November 29, 2014, the Company had investments in municipal bonds of $11.0 million; $0.2 million was current and $10.7 million was non-current. The Company’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), holds all of the municipal bonds. Prism insures a portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement. All of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available for sale,” carried at fair value and reported as short-term available-for-sale securities or available-for-sale securities in the consolidated balance sheet.
The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair values of investments available for sale at November 29, 2014 and March 1, 2014, were as follows:
(In thousands) | Amortized Cost | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Estimated Fair Value | |||||||||||

Total investments | $ | 11,719 | $ | 94 | $ | (336 | ) | $ | 11,477 | ||||||
As of November 29, 2014, available for sale securities with a fair value of $2.6 million have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months with unrealized losses of $0.1 million.
9
The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and considers the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. The Company intends to hold the investments until it can recover the full principal amount, and has the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. The Company expects such recoveries to occur prior to the contractual maturities.
The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investments at November 29, 2014, 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 call or prepayment penalties.
(In thousands) | Amortized Cost | Estimated Market Value | |||||

Due after 10 years through 15 years | 1,250 | 1,144 | |||||
Total | $ | 11,025 | $ | 10,982 | |||
Gross realized gains were $0.1 million during the first nine-months of fiscal 2015 and were immaterial during the nine-month period of fiscal 2014. Gross realized losses were immaterial during the fiscal 2015 and 2014 year-to-date periods.
7. | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company does not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.
10
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of November 29, 2014 and March 1, 2014, are summarized below:

Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, and consist primarily of money market funds. The cash equivalents are held at fair value based on quoted market prices, which approximate stated cost.
Available for sale securities
The Company had short-term available-for-sale securities of $0.2 million and long-term available-for-sale securities of $10.7 million as of November 29, 2014, consisting of municipal bonds. All of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available for sale,” and are carried at fair market value based on market prices from recent trades of similar securities.
11
Restricted investments
The Company had $0.5 million of long-term restricted investments, as of November 29, 2014, consisting of money market funds, which are short term in nature but are restricted for future investment in the Company's storefront and entrance business in Michigan, and are, therefore, classified as long term. The restricted investments are held at fair value based on quoted market prices, which approximate stated cost.
Mutual fund investments
The Company had $0.3 million of mutual fund investments as of November 29, 2014 as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. The mutual fund investments are recorded at estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices, and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
Foreign Currency Instruments
The Company had a foreign exchange forward contract in place to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain forecasted purchases. The forward contract was measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points and foreign interest rates.
8. | Acquisitions |
On November 5, 2013, the Company acquired all of the shares of Alumicor Limited (Alumicor), a privately held business, for $52.9 million, including cash acquired of $1.6 million. Alumicor is a window, storefront, entrance and curtainwall company primarily serving the Canadian commercial construction market. Alumicor's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements and within the Architectural Framing Systems segment since the date of acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013 are presented as if the acquisition had been completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2014:

10. | Debt |
The Company maintains a $100.0 million revolving credit facility that expires in November 2018. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of November 29, 2014 or March 1, 2014.
During the current quarter, the Company executed a release of security under the terms of its existing committed revolving credit facility. Upon release of the security, the Company is required to maintain a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.75; replacing the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA covenant. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. The Company’s ratio was 0.26 at November 29, 2014. The credit facility also requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth, as defined in the credit facility, based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit facility at November 29, 2014 was $310.2 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $374.2 million. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At November 29, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.
13
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing revolving credit facility. The amount of the facility was increased to $125.0 million, the expiration date was extended to December 2019, and the maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio was increased to 3.00, replacing the 2.75 maximum described above. No other provisions of the original agreement were materially amended by the amended credit agreement.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company entered into a Canadian Dollar 4.0 million revolving demand facility available to our Canadian operation. Borrowings of $1.9 million were outstanding as of November 29, 2014. All borrowings under the facility are made available at the sole discretion of the lender and are payable on demand. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at rates specified in the credit agreement for the facility. The Company classifies any outstanding balances under this demand facility as long-term debt, as outstanding amounts can be refinanced through our committed revolving credit facility.
Debt at November 29, 2014 consists of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds, $1.9 million on the Canadian revolving credit facility and $0.3 million of other debt. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, borrowings under our revolving facilities mature in fiscal 2019 and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2015 through 2021. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds and revolving credit facility borrowings approximates carrying value at November 29, 2014, due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Interest payments were $0.6 million and $0.5 million the nine months ended November 29, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively, and primarily relate to fees associated with our revolving credit facility.
11. | Employee Benefit Plans |
Pension Plans
The Company sponsors an unfunded Officers’ Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for the benefit of certain executives and a defined-benefit pension plan, the Tubelite, Inc. Hourly Employees’ Pension Plan. Components of net periodic benefit cost for the plans for the three and nine-month periods ended November 29, 2014 and November 30, 2013, were as follows:

12. | Income Taxes |
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2012, or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2008. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2011, and there is currently very limited audit activity with respect to the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.
The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits at November 29, 2014 and March 1, 2014 was approximately $5.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The Company records the impact of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, which is consistent with past practices. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $0.4 million during the next 12 months due to pending audit settlements and lapsing of statutes.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recognized approximately $6.4 million of tax benefit from an energy-efficiency investment credit under Section 48C of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The tax credit was awarded in 2011 by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in cooperation with the Department of Energy as part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act to incent energy-efficient investments throughout the United States.
In September 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS issued final regulations addressing the acquisition, production and improvement of tangible property, and also proposed regulations addressing the disposition of property. These regulations replace previously issued temporary regulations and are effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The adoption of the new regulations did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

13. | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities |
Operating lease commitments. As of November 29, 2014, the Company was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for buildings and equipment. Certain leases provide for increased rentals based upon increases in real estate taxes or operating costs. Future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases are:

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Company’s Architectural Services business, the Company is required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to its customers for any non-performance by the Company. At November 29, 2014, $64.9 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $238.9 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as the Company is released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. The Company has never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of the current portfolio of businesses.
Warranties. The Company accrues for warranty and claim costs as a percentage of sales based on historical trends and for specific sales credits as they become known and estimable. Actual warranty and claim costs are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual in any given period include the following: changes in manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume. The Company’s warranty and claim accruals are detailed below.

Letters of credit. At November 29, 2014, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related to its construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which the Company was obligated as of November 29, 2014 was approximately $23.5 million, all of which have been issued under the credit facility. The Company’s total availability under its $100.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility.
Purchase obligations. The Company has purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of November 29, 2014, these obligations totaled $108.8 million.
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’s construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

Due to the varying combinations and integration of individual window, storefront and curtainwall systems, the Company has determined that it is impractical to report product revenues generated by class of product, beyond the segment revenues currently reported.

Highlights of Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2015 Compared to Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2014
Consolidated net sales increased 22.6 percent, or $45.0 million, for the third quarter ended November 29, 2014, compared to the prior-year period. Organic growth was 17.3 percent, or $33.7 million, when excluding the sales growth attributable to the acquisition of Alumicor in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The organic growth came from sales increases in all operating segments. Growth in the Architectural Glass segment accounted for approximately half of the organic growth due to increased volumes and improved pricing. Increased volume in the U.S. window, storefront and finishing businesses in the Architectural Framing Systems segment accounted for approximately 30 percent of the growth. The remaining organic growth was attributable to volume growth in the Architectural Services business and an improved mix of value-added products in the LSO segment.
17
For the nine-months ended November 29, 2014, consolidated net sales increased 23.4 percent, or $130.2 million. Organic growth was 17.2 percent, or $95.2 million, when excluding the sales growth attributable to the acquisition of Alumicor. Improved volume and pricing in the Architectural Glass segment accounted for approximately 40 percent of the organic growth. Volume growth in the U.S. window, storefront and finishing businesses in the Architectural Framing Systems segment accounted for approximately 35 percent of the increase. Volume growth in the Architectural Services segment and an improved mix of value-added products in the LSO segment drove the remaining increase.
Gross profit as a percent of sales increased for the quarter ended November 29, 2014 to 23.2 percent from 21.8 percent in the prior-year period, and for the nine-month period to 21.4 percent from 21.2 percent in the prior-year period. The current quarter increase in gross profit margins was due to the impact of improved volume and pricing in the Architectural Glass segment, partially offset by writedowns on a small number of active projects in the Architectural Services segment, increased aluminum costs in the Architectural Framing Segment, and higher health care costs. The year-to-date period was impacted by the items above, and was also further reduced by growth in our lower-margin businesses.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter increased $5.3 million to $36.0 million compared to $30.7 million in the prior-year period, but decreased as a percent of net sales to 14.7 compared to 15.4 percent in the prior-year period. For the year-to-date period, SG&A expenses increased $13.3 million to $103.5 million compared to $90.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2014, and decreased as a percent of sales to 15.1 percent from 16.2 percent in fiscal 2014. Nearly one-half of the increase in spending for both the quarter and year-to-date periods was due to the addition of the Alumicor business. The remaining increase for both the quarter and year-to-date periods was due to increased incentive compensation on improved results, increased sales commissions from higher sales volumes and charges taken related to the Custom Window assets acquired in fiscal 2014.
Other income was $1.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 compared to negligible results in the prior-year period, mainly due to the receipt of the final distribution in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 related to a European business that was discontinued over 15 years ago.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2015, our effective tax rate was 33.0 percent, compared to 24.4 percent in the prior-year period. The lower rate in the prior-year quarter was due to the release of tax reserves upon expiration of federal statutes in that period. For the year-to-date period, our effective tax rate was 19.2 percent, compared to 28.4 percent in the prior-year period due to approximately $6.4 million of tax benefit from an energy-efficient investment credit under Section 48C of the Internal Revenue Code in the second quarter of this fiscal year. The tax credit was awarded in 2011 by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in cooperation with the Department of Energy as part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act to incent energy-efficiency investments throughout the United States.

Third-quarter Architectural Glass net sales of $90.3 million increased 23.0 percent over prior-year net sales of $73.4 million, and net sales of $254.1 million for the nine months of fiscal 2015 increased 16.5 percent over $218.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2014. Both the third quarter and year-to-date growth was mainly due to increased volume and some improved pricing.
Architectural Glass operating income improved to $5.8 million in the third quarter, compared to $1.6 million in the prior-year quarter, with operating margins of 6.5 percent, compared to 2.2 percent in the prior-year quarter. For the year-to-date period, operating income of $11.9 million compared to $3.8 million in the prior-year period, with operating margins of 4.7 percent compared to 1.7 percent. As the markets served by the Architectural Glass segment have continued to strengthen, the segment has benefited from operating leverage on volume growth and improved pricing, favorably impacting both the quarter and year-to-date periods. For the year-to-date period, these favorable items were slightly offset by inefficiencies experienced as the business expands its workforce to meet demand.

The increases for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were due to volume from project timing and a general increase in project activity.
The Architectural Services segment reported operating income of $0.3 million in the current quarter, compared to $0.4 million in the prior-year period, with operating margins of 0.6 percent, compared to 0.7 percent in the prior-year quarter. The current quarter was impacted by writedowns on a small number of active projects that have been resolved. For the year-to-date period, operating income was $2.3 million, compared to a loss of $1.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2014, with operating margins of 1.4 percent, compared to negative 1.0 percent in the prior year. The improvements in operating results for the nine-month period were a result of operating leverage on the increased volume and good operational performance, partially offset by the project writedowns noted above.

Third-quarter Architectural Framing Systems net sales of $80.4 million increased 36.3 percent over prior-year net sales of $59.0 million, with organic growth of 18.8 percent, when excluding sales growth from the acquired Alumicor business. For the year-to-date period, net sales of $221.4 million increased 44.8 percent from $152.9 million, with organic growth of 22.6 percent. The organic growth for both the quarter and year-to-date periods was due to double-digit volume increases at our three U.S. businesses in the segment, with the U.S. storefront and finishing businesses increasing penetration within their target market sectors and geographies, and the window business recovering from a prior-year gap in the schedule for complex projects.
Architectural Framing Systems operating income of $7.6 million in the third quarter increased 31.4 percent, compared to $5.8 million in the prior-year quarter, while operating margins decreased to 9.4 percent, from 9.8 percent in the prior-year quarter. For the nine-month period, operating income of $17.0 million was up 30.3 percent over $13.0 million reported in the prior-year, and operating margins were 7.7 percent compared to 8.5 percent. The decrease in operating margins for the quarter was due to the negative impact of higher aluminum costs in the U.S. and Canadian storefront businesses and charges related to the Custom Window assets acquired in fiscal 2014, partially offset by good operational performance across the segment. For the year-to-date period, the impact of income growth in the U.S. window and finishing businesses resulting from increased volume and good execution was more than offset by the negative effect of higher aluminum costs in the U.S. and Canadian storefront businesses, the impact of soft Canadian markets on the Canadian storefront business in the first half of the year, and charges related to the acquired Custom Window assets.

LSO net sales of $25.5 million for the third quarter were up 12.5 percent from prior-year net sales of $22.7 million due to an improved mix of value-added products on strong orders for all channels, particularly in retail. Net sales of $65.0 million for the nine-month period increased 4.9 percent from $61.9 million of net sales in the prior-year period mainly driven by a positive mix of higher value-added products.
LSO operating income of $7.9 million in the quarter increased 30.1 percent from the prior-year period, and operating margins increased to 30.8 percent, compared to 26.7 percent in the prior-year period. The impact of a strong mix of value-added products drove the increase for the quarter. On a year-to-date basis, operating income of $16.0 million was down 0.5 percent from $16.1 million in the prior-year period, and operating margins were 24.6 percent compared to 26.0 percent in the prior year. The operating results for the year-to-date period were negatively impacted in the first half of the year by increased investments in research and development for new products, new market sectors and manufacturing capacity.
Backlog
Backlog represents the dollar amount of revenues we expect to recognize in the future from firm contracts or orders received, as well as those that are in progress. Backlog is not a term defined under generally accepted accounting principles and is not a measure of contract profitability. We include a project within our backlog at the time a signed contract or a firm purchase order is received, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process. Backlog by reporting segment at November 29, 2014, March 1, 2014 and November 30, 2013 was as follows:

We expect approximately $181.9 million, or 37 percent, of our November 29, 2014 backlog to be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2015; approximately $256.1 million, or 52 percent, to be recognized in fiscal 2016; and approximately $55.9 million, or 11 percent in fiscal 2017. We view backlog as an important statistic in evaluating the level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in our business. However, as backlog is only one indicator, and is not an effective indicator of our ultimate profitability, we do not believe that backlog should be used as the sole indicator of future earnings of the Company.
Acquisition
On November 5, 2013, the Company acquired all of the shares of Alumicor Limited, a privately held business, for $52.9 million, including cash acquired of $1.6 million. Alumicor is a window, storefront, entrance and curtainwall company primarily serving the Canadian commercial construction market. Alumicor's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements and within the Architectural Framing Systems segment since the date of acquisition.

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $37.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2015, compared to cash provided of $42.7 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in operating cash from the prior year was due to cash used in the current year, as we invested in working capital to support sales growth, and from prior-year proceeds received from the New Market Tax Credit transaction. These items were partially offset by the higher level of income reported for the nine months of fiscal 2015 as compared to the prior year.
Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash and short-term available for sale securities and short-term restricted investments, less current liabilities, excluding current portion of long-term debt) was $98.5 million at November 29, 2014. This compares to $77.3 million at March 1, 2014 and $72.1 million at November 30, 2013. The increase over year-end and the prior year is due to our investment in working capital to support sales growth.
Investing Activities. Through the first nine months of fiscal 2015, net cash used by investing activities was $16.3 million, compared to cash used of $42.9 million in the same period last year. The current year included capital investments of $18.7 million. Net sales of marketable securities and restricted investments generated $2.9 million of cash.
In fiscal 2014, capital investments were $17.3 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, we reduced our restricted investments by $2.8 million, as a result of releasing the $10.0 million of cash held in escrow for the recovery zone facility bonds that was used to redeem the bonds and also releasing $12.0 million of cash collateral to unrestricted cash related to the letter of credit supporting these bonds. These items were offset as we set aside $21.1 million of cash during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 for the investment in a new Architectural Glass coater. We decreased our investments in marketable securities by $23.6 million for the nine-month period to fund the acquisition of Alumicor. During fiscal 2014, we completed two acquisitions as part of our strategy to grow through new products and new geographies for a total of $52.8 million, net of cash acquired.
We expect fiscal 2015 capital expenditures to be approximately $35 million to be used for investments for growth, product development capabilities and productivity, as well as maintenance capital. This level of investment includes two capacity expansions. We plan to re-open the Architectural Glass facility in Utah in the fourth quarter of this year and to expand capacity in the Architectural Framing Systems' finishing business, which is expected to be operational in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.
We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses, pursue geographic expansion, take actions to manage capacity, further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.
Financing Activities. Total outstanding borrowings were $22.6 million at November 29, 2014, $20.7 million at March 1, 2014, and $20.7 million at November 30, 2013. Debt at November 29, 2014 consisted of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds, $1.9 million under the Canadian revolving credit facility, and $0.3 million of other debt. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities mature in fiscal 2019; the other debt matures in
21
fiscal years 2015 through 2021. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 5.7 percent at November 29, 2014 and 5.5 percent at March 1, 2014.
We maintain a $100.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in November 2018. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of November 29, 2014 or March 1, 2014.
During the current quarter, the Company executed a release of security under the terms of its existing committed revolving credit facility. Upon release of the security, the Company is required to maintain a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.75, replacing the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA covenant. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. The Company’s ratio was 0.26 at November 29, 2014. The credit facility also requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth, as defined in the credit facility, based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit facility at November 29, 2014 was $310.2 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $374.2 million. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At November 29, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing revolving credit facility. The amount of the facility was increased to $125.0 million, the expiration date was extended to December 2019; and the maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio was increased to 3.00, replacing the 2.75 maximum described above. No other provisions of the original agreement were materially amended by the amended credit agreement.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we entered into a Canadian Dollar 4.0 million revolving demand facility available to our Canadian operation. Borrowings of $1.9 million were outstanding as of November 29, 2014. All borrowings under the facility are made available at the sole discretion of the lender and are payable on demand. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at rates specified in the credit agreement for the facility. We classify any outstanding balances under this demand facility as long-term debt, since outstanding amounts can be refinanced through our committed revolving credit facility.
During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors increased this authorization by 750,000 shares in January 2008 and by 1,000,000 in October 2008. We purchased 203,509 shares under the program during the first nine months of fiscal 2015, for a total cost of $6.9 million; there were no share repurchases during fiscal 2014. We have purchased a total of 2,482,632 shares, at a total cost of $36.5 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 767,368 shares under this program, which has no expiration date.

From time to time, we acquire the use of certain assets, such as warehouses, automobiles, forklifts, vehicles, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment through operating leases. Many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.
We have purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of November 29, 2014, these obligations totaled $108.8 million.
We expect to make contributions of $0.8 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2015, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.
22
As of November 29, 2014, we had $5.0 million and $1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We expect approximately $0.4 million of the unrecognized tax benefits to lapse during the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods the remaining unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities will ultimately be settled.
At November 29, 2014, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The Company’s $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds are supported by $21.0 million of letters of credit that reduce availability of funds under our $100.0 million credit facility. The letters of credit by expiration period were as follows at November 29, 2014:
Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Fiscal Period | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Standby letters of credit | $ | — | $ | 20,982 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 2,500 | $ | 23,482 | |||||||||||||
In addition to the above standby letters of credit, which were predominantly issued for our industrial revenue bonds, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At November 29, 2014, $64.9 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $238.9 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.
For fiscal 2015, we believe that current cash on hand and available capacity under our committed revolving credit facility, as well as the expected cash to be generated from future operating activities, will be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments. We have total cash and short-term available for sale securities of $34.3 million, and $76.5 million available under our committed credit facility at November 29, 2014. We believe that this will provide us with the financial strength to continue our growth strategy as our end markets continue to improve.
Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2015 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
• | Revenue growth of at least 20 percent over fiscal 2014. |
• | We anticipate earnings per share of $1.64 to $1.72, including the non-recurring Q2 impact of $0.22 from the Section 48C tax credit. Gross margins are expected to be approximately 22 percent. |
• | Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $35 million, including capacity expansions in the Architectural Glass and Architectural Framing Systems segments. |

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
The Company has been 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’s construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
There have been no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014.
