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 three-month period ended May 31, 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 May 31, 2014 and March 1, 2014, and the results of operations, comprehensive earnings and cash flows for the three-month periods ended May 31, 2014 and June 1, 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 three months ended May 31, 2014.

In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended May 31, 2014, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.


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 three months of fiscal 2015 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3.	Share-Based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation expense included in the results of operations was $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the three-month periods ended May 31, 2014 and June 1, 2013, respectively.

Stock Options and SARs

There were no options or SARs issued in the first three months of fiscal 2015 or 2014. The following table summarizes the award transactions for the three months ended May 31, 2014:



	Options/SARs Outstanding
	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at March 1, 2014	847,852		$	13.88
Awards exercised	(20,791	)	14.44

Exercisable at May 31, 2014	676,390		$	15.10	4.9 Years	$	10,148,956

At May 31, 2014, there was $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately three months. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.2 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2014 and June 1, 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 $0.4 million during the three months ended May 31, 2014 and $1.6 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 three months ended May 31, 2014:



	Nonvested Shares and Units

At May 31, 2014, there was $7.2 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 25 months. The total fair value of shares vested during the three-month period of fiscal 2015 was $8.5 million.

Costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts	4,921		5,101
Total inventories	$	50,422	$	47,982


6.	Marketable Securities

At May 31, 2014, the Company had investments in municipal bonds of $10.8 million; $0.6 million was current and $10.2 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,” are carried at fair value and are 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 May 31, 2014 and March 1, 2014, were as follows:



(In thousands)	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Estimated Fair Value
May 31, 2014
Municipal bonds	$	10,913	$	119	$	(234	)	$	10,798
Total investments	$	10,913	$	119	$	(234	)	$	10,798
March 1, 2014
Municipal bonds	$	11,719	$	94	$	(336	)	$	11,477
Total investments	$	11,719	$	94	$	(336	)	$	11,477

Available for sale securities with a fair value of $3.7 million have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months with unrealized losses of $0.2 million.

Table of Contents

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 May 31, 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 within one year	$	560	$	564
Due after one year through five years	2,398		2,435
Due after five years through 10 years	6,690		6,703
Due after 10 years through 15 years	1,250		1,081
Due beyond 15 years	15		15
Total	$	10,913	$	10,798

Gross realized gains and losses were not material during either of the first three-month periods of fiscal 2015 or 2014.


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.

Table of Contents

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of May 31, 2014 and March 1, 2014, are summarized below:



(In thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Fair Value

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 $0.6 million and long-term available-for-sale securities of $10.2 million as of May 31, 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.

Table of Contents

Restricted investments

The Company had $1.7 million of long-term restricted investments, as of May 31, 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 $0.8 million of mutual fund investments as of May 31, 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-months ended June 1, 2013 are presented as if the acquisition had been completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2014:

These unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as elimination of interest expense on pre-acquisition debt of the acquiree. The adjustments do not reflect the effect of synergies and integration costs that would result from integration of this acquisition.

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 May 31, 2014 or March 1, 2014.

The credit facility 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 agreement at May 31, 2014 was $292.7 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $356.7 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, the Company reduces non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities available for sale in excess of $15 million. The Company’s ratio was 0.28 at May 31, 2014. 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 May 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

Table of Contents

Debt at May 31, 2014 consists of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds, and $0.3 million of other debt. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2015 through 2021. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds approximates carrying value at May 31, 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 $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2014 and June 1, 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-month periods ended May 31, 2014 and June 1, 2013, were as follows:



	Three Months Ended

Expected return on assets	(43		)	(46		)
Amortization of unrecognized net loss	44			59
Net periodic benefit cost	$	139		$	147


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 2011, or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2005. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2010, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.

The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits at May 31, 2014 and March 1, 2014 was approximately $5.4 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 audit settlements and lapsing of statutes.

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 May 31, 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:

Total minimum payments	$	7,166	$	8,822	$	7,041	$	5,492	$	6,983	$	2,933	$	38,437

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 May 31, 2014, $81.6 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $278.1 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.

Claims paid	(891		)	(857		)
Balance at end of period	$	12,147		$	8,789

Letters of credit. At May 31, 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 May 31, 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 May 31, 2014, these obligations totaled $85.2 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 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.

14.	Segment Information

The Company has four reporting segments: Architectural Glass, Architectural Services, Architectural Framing Systems and Large-Scale Optical (LSO). The Architectural Glass segment fabricates glass used in customized window and wall systems comprising the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings. The Architectural Services segment designs, engineers, fabricates and installs the walls of glass, and windows and other curtainwall products making up the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings for new construction and renovation. The Architectural Framing Systems segment designs, engineers, fabricates and finishes the aluminum frames used in customized aluminum and glass window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems comprising the outside skin and entrances of commercial and institutional buildings. The Company has aggregated four operating segments into the Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment based upon their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics. The LSO segment manufactures value-added glass and acrylic products for the custom picture framing market.

The following table presents sales and operating income data for the Company’s four reporting segments, and on a consolidated basis, for the three months ended May 31, 2014, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago:

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.

Overview

We are a leader in certain technologies and distinctive solutions for enclosing commercial buildings and framing art. The Company's four reportable segments are: Architectural Glass, Architectural Services, Architectural Framing Systems and Large-Scale Optical (LSO). Our Architectural Glass segment consists of Viracon, a fabricator of coated, high-performance architectural glass for global markets. The Architectural Services segment consists of Harmon, one of the largest U.S. full-service building glass installation and renovation companies, which designs, engineers, fabricates and installs the walls of glass, windows and other curtainwall products making up the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings. The Architectural Framing Systems segment companies design, engineer, fabricate and finish the aluminum frames used in customized aluminum and glass window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems comprising the outside skin and entrances of commercial and institutional buildings. We have aggregated four operating segments into the Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment based upon their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics: Wausau Window and Wall Systems, a manufacturer of standard and custom aluminum window systems and curtainwall for the North American commercial construction and historical renovation markets; Tubelite, a fabricator of aluminum storefront, entrance and curtainwall products for the U.S. commercial construction industry; Alumicor, a fabricator of aluminum storefront, entrance, curtainwall and window products for the Canadian commercial construction industry; and Linetec, a paint and anodize finisher of architectural aluminum and PVC shutters for U.S. markets. Our LSO segment consists of Tru Vue, a manufacturer of value-added glass and acrylic for the custom picture framing and fine art markets.

The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 1, 2014 and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes to consolidated financial statements, included therein.

Sales and Earnings

The relationship between various components of operations, stated as a percent of net sales, is illustrated below for the three-month periods of the current and prior fiscal years:



	Three Months Ended

Highlights of First Quarter of Fiscal 2015 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2014

Consolidated net sales increased 17.6 percent, or $31.6 million, for the first quarter ended May 31, 2014, compared to the prior-year period. Organic growth was 11.9 percent, or $21.4 million, when excluding the sales growth attributable to the acquisition of Alumicor. This increase was due to volume growth in the U.S. window, storefront and finishing businesses in the Architectural Framing Systems segment accounting for approximately 6 percentage points of the increase; growth in the Architectural Services segment represented approximately 3 percentage points of the increase; and the remainder was driven by increased volume in the Architectural Glass segment.

Table of Contents

Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter ended May 31, 2014 decreased to 19.6 percent from 20.3 percent in the prior-year period. The current quarter decrease as compared to the prior-year quarter was due to the impact of severe winter weather early in the first quarter that negatively impacted the entire Architectural Framing Systems segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter were up $3.4 million to $33.6 million compared to $30.3 million in the prior-year period, while decreasing to 15.9 percent of net sales as compared to 16.9 percent in the prior-year period. The increase in spending was primarily due to the addition of the Alumicor business acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Other income was $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $0.1 million in the prior-year period due to the receipt of the final distribution for a European business that was discontinued over 15 years ago.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, our effective tax rate was 33.4 percent, compared to 29.0 percent in the prior-year period. The increase in the effective tax rate was due to the expiration of tax credit programs.

Operating income	2,800			1,371			104.2	%
Operating margin	3.5		%	1.8		%

First-quarter net sales of $79.6 million increased 6.5 percent over prior-year net sales of $74.8 million due to increased volume in U.S. and international market sectors. Operating income improved to $2.8 million in the current quarter, compared to $1.4 million in the prior-year quarter, with operating margins of 3.5 percent, compared to 1.8 percent in the prior-year quarter. The improvement in operating income and margins for the three-month period was due to the increased volume and improved capacity utilization.

Architectural Services

Operating margin	0.4		%	(2.1		)%

Net sales of $51.6 million for the first quarter were up 11.1 percent over prior-year net sales of $46.5 million due to increasing project activity. The segment reported operating income of $0.2 million in the current quarter, compared to a loss of $1.0 million in the prior-year period, with operating margins of 0.4 percent, compared to negative 2.1 percent in the prior-year quarter. The improvement in operating results was a result of improving project margins, as well as good project execution.

Architectural Framing Systems



	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	May 31, 2014			June 1, 2013			% Change
Net sales	$	64,222		$	44,446		44.5	%
Operating income	1,931			2,064			(6.4	)%
Operating margin	3.0		%	4.6		%

First-quarter net sales of $64.2 million increased 44.5 percent over prior-year net sales of $44.4 million. Organic growth was $9.6 million, or 21.6%, when excluding sales growth from the acquired Alumicor business. The organic growth was due to double-digit volume increases at all three U.S. businesses in the segment, with the window business recovering from a gap in the schedule for complex projects and the U.S. storefront and finishing businesses increasing penetration within their target market sectors and geographies.

Table of Contents

Operating income of $1.9 million in the current quarter was down 6.4 percent, compared to $2.1 million in the prior-year quarter, and operating margins decreased to 3.0 percent, from 4.6 percent in the prior-year quarter. Income growth in the U.S businesses on increased sales was more than offset by a loss in the Canadian storefront business due to the impact of severe winter weather early in the quarter.

Large-Scale Optical (LSO)



	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	May 31, 2014			June 1, 2013			% Change

Operating margin	19.8		%	24.1		%

Net sales of $20.1 million for the first quarter were up 3.0 percent over prior-year net sales of $19.5 million on increased volume. Operating income of $4.0 million in the quarter decreased 15.6 percent from the prior-year period, and operating margins decreased to 19.8 percent, compared to 24.1 percent in the prior-year period. The decreased operating results were due to increased investments in research and development for new products and new market sectors, as well as in 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 May 31, 2014 and June 1, 2013 was as follows:



(In thousands)	May 31, 2014			March 1, 2014			June 1, 2013
Architectural Glass	$	98,204		73,206			$	65,200

Large-Scale Optical	1,073			870			1,462
Intersegment eliminations	(8,966		)	(4,546		)	(3,151		)
Total Backlog	$	385,112		$	329,635		$	301,835

We expect approximately $307.6 million, or 80 percent, of our May 31, 2014 backlog to be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2015, and approximately $77.5 million, or 20 percent, to be recognized in fiscal 2016 and beyond. 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 $1.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2015, compared to cash used of $2.2 million in the prior-year period. Both fiscal 2015 and 2014 results were negatively impacted by normal seasonal cash outflow in the first quarter as a result of payments made to fund annual incentive compensation plans, insurance and taxes.

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 $87.0 million at May 31, 2014, or 10.8 percent of last 12-month net sales, a metric for measuring working capital efficiency. This compares to $77.3 million at March 1, 2014, or 10.0 percent of fiscal 2014 net sales, and 9.4 percent at June 1, 2013. The dollar change from year-end was due to working capital outflows for the current quarter as noted above.

Investing Activities. Through the first three months of fiscal 2015, cash used by investing activities was $7.4 million, compared to cash provided of $14.3 million in the same period last year. The current year included capital investments of $8.7 million. The net position of our investments resulted in net sales of $0.8 million for restricted investments and net sales of $0.4 million for marketable securities.

In fiscal 2014, capital investments were $1.5 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we released a net $19.3 million of restricted investments 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 slightly offset by $2.8 million of funds held in escrow for use in the Company's planned capital investments in the Architectural Glass segment business. We increased our investments in marketable securities by $3.6 million.

We expect fiscal 2015 capital expenditures to be approximately $40 million for investments for growth, product development capabilities and productivity, as well as maintenance capital.

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. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we completed the temporary shutdown of our Architectural Glass segment facility in Utah to align overall capacity with the demand we are expecting over the next two years.

Financing Activities. Total outstanding borrowings at May 31, 2014 were $20.7 million, consistent with March 1, 2014 levels, and were $20.8 million at June 1, 2013. Debt at May 31, 2014 consisted of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds, and $0.3 million of other debt. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2015 through 2021. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 5.5 percent at both May 31, 2014 and 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 May 31, 2014 or March 1, 2014.

Table of Contents

May 31, 2014 was $292.7 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $356.7 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, the Company reduces non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities available for sale in excess of $15 million. The Company’s ratio was 0.28 at May 31, 2014. 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 May 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the 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 27,665 shares under the program during the first three months of fiscal 2015 for a total cost of $0.9 million; there were no share repurchases during fiscal 2014. We have purchased a total of 2,306,788 shares, at a total cost of $30.5 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 943,212 shares under this program, which has no expiration date.

Other Financing Activities. The following summarizes our significant contractual obligations that impact our liquidity as of May 31, 2014:

(In thousands)	2015 Remaining		2016		2017		2018		2019		Thereafter		Total
Continuing operations
Industrial revenue bonds	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	20,400	$	20,400
Other debt obligations	52		52		52		52		52		51		311
Operating leases (undiscounted)	7,166		8,822		7,041		5,492		6,983		2,933		38,437
Purchase obligations	77,934		7,049		171		—		—		—		85,154
Total cash obligations	$	85,152	$	15,923	$	7,264	$	5,544	$	7,035	$	23,384	$	144,302

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 May 31, 2014, these obligations totaled $85.2 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.

As of May 31, 2014, we had $5.4 million and $1.5 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 May 31, 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 May 31, 2014:



	Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Fiscal Period
(In thousands)	2015 Remaining		2016		2017		2018		2019		Thereafter		Total
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 May 31, 2014, $81.6 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value

of $278.1 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 $17.7 million, and $76.5 million available under our credit facility at May 31, 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 15 to 20 percent over fiscal 2014.


•	We anticipate earnings per share of $1.40 to $1.50.


•	Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $40 million.

Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


b)	Changes in internal controls: There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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 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.
