NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the Company) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the results of operations and other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the financial position at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the statements of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the statement of shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 have been included therein in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations and prepared using the same accounting principles as are used for our annual audited financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures, including significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the prescribed SEC rules. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed on Form 10-K along with any new disclosures provided below.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company is subject to reduced activity in the first and fourth quarters as colder, inclement weather reduces order rates from end markets it serves.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The update clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common standard for U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. More specifically, the core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of Topic 606 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net).” ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” ASU 2016-10 clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations. These ASUs apply to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services. These ASUs are effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Entities have the choice to apply these ASUs either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying these standards at the date of initial application and not adjusting comparative information. We are currently evaluating the requirements of these standards and have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330)." The amendments to this Update were issued to change the measurement of inventory to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, may be applied prospectively and early adopted for the beginning of an interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard which is not expected to have a material impact on the our Balance Sheet or Statements of Operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and have not yet determined its impact on our consolidated financial statements.
8
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-09 and have not yet determined its impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable consists of the following (in thousands):
March 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||

Contract receivables are primarily associated with developers, contractors and customers in connection with the Renewable Energy and Conservation segment. Costs in excess of billings principally represent revenues recognized on contracts that were not billable as of the balance sheet date. These amounts will be billed in accordance with contract terms, generally as certain milestones are reached or upon shipment. All of the costs in excess of billings are expected to be collected within one year. In situations where billings exceed revenues recognized, the excess is included in billings in excess of cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
4. INVENTORIES

5. ACQUISITIONS
On June 9, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Rough Brothers Manufacturing, Inc., RBI Solar, Inc., and affiliates, collectively known as "RBI". RBI has established itself during the past six years among North America's fastest-growing providers of racking and mounting systems for solar energy installations and is among the largest commercial greenhouse manufacturers in North America.
9
RBI is a full service provider that engineers, manufactures and installs racking systems for solar power developers, contractors and companies. In addition, RBI designs, manufactures and erects greenhouses for commercial, institutional and retail customers. The acquisition of RBI is expected to enable the Company to leverage its expertise in structural metals manufacturing, materials sourcing and logistics to help meet the fast-growing global demand for solar racking solutions. The results of RBI have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition (within the Company's Renewable Energy and Conservation segment). The final aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisition of RBI was $147,585,000, which includes a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments provided for in the stock purchase agreement. The final purchase adjustment of $2,314,000 that was accrued as of December 31, 2015, was paid by the Company during the first quarter of 2016.
The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values. The excess consideration of $57,180,000, was recorded as goodwill of which $37,969,000 is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified including workforce additions, growth opportunities, and increased presence in the renewable energy markets.
The allocation of the purchase consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands):
Cash | $ | 4,651 | |
Working capital | 21,436 | ||
Property, plant, and equipment | 12,797 | ||
Acquired intangible assets | 56,392 | ||
Other assets | 3,049 | ||
Deferred income taxes | (4,892 | ) | |
Other liabilities | (3,028 | ) | |
Goodwill | 57,180 | ||
Fair value of purchase consideration | $ | 147,585 |
The Company recorded an indemnification asset and liability of $3.0 million on the opening balance sheet related to the seller’s obligation to fully indemnify the Company for the outcome of potential contingent liabilities related to uncertainty of income tax positions in foreign jurisdictions. The liability and related indemnification asset may or may not be realized, and any unrealized liability is scheduled to expire in 2018.
The intangible assets acquired in this acquisition consisted of the following (in thousands):
Fair Value | Estimated Useful Life | ||||
Trademarks | $ | 13,550 | Indefinite | ||
Technology | 3,550 | 7-15 years | |||
Customer relationships | 32,892 | 11-17 years | |||
Non-compete agreements | 1,300 | 5 years | |||
Backlog | 5,100 | 0.5 years | |||
Total | $ | 56,392 |
10
The acquisition was financed through cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company incurred certain acquisition-related costs composed of legal and consulting fees, and these costs were recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company also recognized acquisition-related costs for the sale of inventory at fair value which was a portion of the purchase price allocation of this acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of continuing operations as if the acquisition of RBI had occurred as of January 1, 2015. The pro forma information includes certain adjustments, including depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and certain other adjustments, together with related income tax effects. The pro forma amounts may not be indicative of the results that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2015 and are not necessarily indicative of future results of the combined companies (in thousands, except per share data):

The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $300 million and is secured by trade receivables, inventory, personal property, equipment, and certain real property of the Company’s significant domestic subsidiaries.
Interest rates on the revolving credit facility are based on the LIBOR plus an applicable margin.
Standby letters of credit of $19,629,000 have been issued under the Senior Credit Agreement on behalf of the Company as of March 31, 2016. These letters of credit reduce the amount otherwise available under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $280,371,000 of availability under the revolving credit facility. No borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
On January 31, 2013, the Company issued $210 million of 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes (6.25% Notes) due February 1, 2021.The proceeds were used to purchase and discharge the Company's obligations under the then outstanding $204 million of 8% Senior Subordinated Notes during the first quarter of 2013.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
An officer of one of the Company's operating segments is the owner of certain real estate properties leased for manufacturing and distribution purposes by that operating segment. The leases are in effect until June 2018 and June 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred $217,000 of lease expense for these properties. All amounts incurred during 2016 were expensed as a component of cost of sales.

10. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
On May 7, 2015, the shareholders of the Company authorized the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and simultaneously amended the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan") to terminate issuance of further awards from the Prior Plan. The Plan is an incentive compensation plan that allows the Company to grant equity-based incentive compensation awards to eligible participants. Awards under the Plan may be in the form of options, restricted shares, restricted units, performance shares, performance stock units, and rights.
Restricted Stock Units
The following table provides the number of restricted stock units which will convert to shares upon vesting issued during the three months ended March 31, along with the weighted average grant date fair value:

Restricted stock units | 94,489 | $ | 20.43 | 101,788 | $ | 15.95 |
Performance Stock Units
The Company has also awarded performance stock units ("PSU's") that will convert to cash after three years based upon the one year performance period. The cost of these awards is recognized over the requisite vesting period. The PSU's earned over the performance period are determined based on the Company’s actual return on invested capital (ROIC) relative to the ROIC targeted for the performance period.
The following table provides the number of PSU's which will convert to cash awarded during the three months ended March 31,

(1) | The final number of PSU's earned will be determined based upon actual performance at the end of 2016, with any amounts due to participants payable in January 2019. |
(2) | The participants earned 200% of target, aggregating 438,000 PSU's earned. This award will convert to cash and be payable in January 2018. |
During the 2013 performance period, the participants earned an aggregate of 114,000 PSU's, representing 50% of the targeted award of 237,000 units. In January 2016, $2,723,000 was paid to the participants for the 2013 PSU's based on the trailing 90-day closing price of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2015.
No awards were earned during the 2014 performance period.
The following table summarizes the compensation expense recognized for the PSU's which will convert to cash for the three months ended March 31, (in thousands):
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Performance stock unit compensation expense | $ | 825 | $ | 581 |
Management Stock Purchase Plan
The Management Stock Purchase Plan (MSPP) provides participants the ability to defer a portion of their compensation or Directors’ fees, which deferral is converted to restricted stock units, and credited to an account. Under the MSPP, the company provides a matching award in restricted stock units equal to a percentage of the employees' compensation or Directors' 2015 fee deferral amount. Beginning January 1, 2016, Directors do not receive any company-matching on deferred fees. The account represents a share-based liability converted to and settled in cash which is payable to participants upon retirement or a termination of their service to the Company.
The following table provides the number of restricted stock units credited to participant accounts and the payments made with respect to restricted stock units issued under the MSPP during the three months ended March 31,

11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The primary risks that the Company manages through its derivative instruments from time to time are foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity pricing risk. We enter into derivative financial instruments with various financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk. Depending on the type of transaction, we may enter into either derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and/or derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. As of March 31, 2016, we do not currently hold any derivatives classified as hedging instruments and qualifying for hedge accounting.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
To minimize foreign currency exposure, the Company had foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $1,455,000 at March 31, 2016. These derivative instruments mature in April 2016. No foreign currency or commodity options were outstanding at March 31, 2016
Commodity options, foreign exchange forwards and forward exchange options are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the resulting gains or losses are recorded to other income in the consolidated statement of operations. The (gains) losses recognized for the three months ended March 31, are as follows (in thousands):

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:
• | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date for identical assets and 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 - Unobservable inputs for the assets or liability supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 inputs are based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. |
The Company's derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates and implied volatility. In addition, the Company received fair value estimates from contract counterparties to verify the reasonableness of the Company's estimates. These derivatives are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
15
The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets (liabilities) measured on a recurring basis, all of which are classified as Level 2 (in thousands):
Classification | March 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | |||||
Foreign currency exchange options | Other current assets | — | 1,792 | ||||
Foreign currency exchange forwards | Other current liabilities | 85 | 14 |
The Company’s only other financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of outstanding debt net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $213,632,000 and $214,007,000, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $209,432,000 and $209,282,000, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s Senior Subordinated 6.25% Notes is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices.
13. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
For certain divestiture transactions completed in prior years, the Company has agreed to indemnify the buyer for various liabilities that may arise after the disposal date, subject to limits of time and amount. The Company is a party to certain claims made under these indemnification provisions. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has a contingent liability recorded for such provisions related to discontinued operations. Management does not believe that the outcome of this claim, or other claims, would significantly affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.
14. EXIT ACTIVITY COSTS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
The Company’s business strategy has been formulated to effect a transformation of its operations and much-improved financial results over a five year period. In 2015, the first year of this planned transformation, an 80/20 simplification initiative commenced across many of our business units. This on-going initiative, in part, focuses the Company’s internal resources on further increasing the value provided to our customers.
A result of this initiative was the identification of low-volume, internally-produced products which have been or will be outsourced or discontinued. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were charges resulting from this identification that aggregated $910,000. These charges relate to the write-down of inventory and impairment of machinery and equipment associated with either discontinued product lines or the reduction of manufactured goods offered within a product line. These assets were written down to their sale or scrap value, and were subsequently sold or disposed of. Exit activity costs of $788,000 were also incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 relating to contract termination costs, severance costs, and other moving and closing costs. These costs were the result of the closing and consolidation of facilities, relocation of inventory and equipment at those facilities and the reduction of workforce associated with the discontinued products and closed facilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company sold one facility and eliminated one product line which resulted in asset impairment charges of $108,000 and exit activity costs of $111,000. In addition, the Company sold and leased back a facility, which resulted in a gain of $6,799,000.
The following table sets forth the asset impairment charges, exit activity costs and gain on facilities sold in conjunction with these efforts, incurred by segment during the three months ended March 31, related to the restructuring activities described above (in thousands):

15. INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes the provision for income taxes for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, and the applicable effective tax rates (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Provision for income taxes | $ | 3,618 | $ | 3,292 | |||
Effective tax rate | 35.8 | % | 37.3 | % |
The Company’s provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying forecasted annual effective tax rates to income or loss before income taxes for the interim period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items, including interest on prior year tax liabilities, are recorded during the period in which they occur. To the extent that actual income or loss before taxes for the full year differs from the forecast estimates applied at the end of the most recent interim period, the actual tax rate recognized for the year ending December 31, 2016 could be materially different from the forecasted rate used for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes partially offset by deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes partially offset by deductible permanent differences.

Overview
Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading manufacturer and distributor of building products for industrial, transportation infrastructure, residential housing, renewable energy and resource conservation markets. Beginning in mid-2014, led by new executive leadership, the Company began a re-examination of its operations, competitive advantages, and strategies, all directed at re-setting a business strategy that would significantly elevate and accelerate the growth and financial returns of the Company. The new strategy, completed in late 2014, is targeted at delivering best-in-class, sustainable value creation for our shareholders for the long-term. This value-generating strategy is intended to drive a transformational change in the Company’s portfolio and its financial results. It has four key elements which are: operational excellence, product innovation, portfolio management, and acquisitions as a strategic accelerator.
Operational excellence is our first pillar in this strategy. 80/20 simplification ("80/20") is core to this part of the strategy which is based on the analysis that 25% of the customers typically generate 89% of the revenue in a business, and 150% of the profitability. Through the application of data analysis generated by 80/20 practice, we are focusing on our largest and best opportunities (the “80”) and eliminating complexity associated with less profitable opportunities (the “20”) in order to generate more earnings year over year, at a higher rate of return with a more efficient use of capital.
We started the multi-year simplification intiative in the fourth quarter of 2014, with a comprehensive data analysis and we are still in the early stages of implementation. We believe that over the first three years, we will drive 200 to 300 basis points of operating margin improvement from the 80/20 process with corresponding benefits from the resulting reduction of operational assets.
Product innovation is our second strategic pillar. Innovation involves the allocation of new and existing resources to opportunities that drive sustainable returns. We are focused on those products and technologies that have relevance to the end-user and can be differentiated from our competition. Our focus on innovation will be centered on four markets: postal and parcel products, residential air management, infrastructure and renewable energy. These respective markets are expected to grow based on demand for centralized mail and parcel delivery systems and zero carbon footprint homes; the large proportion of elevated bridges that are deficient or functionally obsolete; and energy sources not dependent on fossil fuels.
The third pillar of our strategy is portfolio management, which is a natural adjunct to the 80/20 initiative. Using the 80/20 process, we continually evaluate all aspects of our current portfolio for future profitable growth and greater shareholder returns which will lead to consideration of any necessary refinements.
The fourth pillar of our strategy is acquisitions. We are focused on making strategic acquisitions in five key markets, four of which are served by existing platforms within the Company. The existing platforms include the same areas in which we are
28
targeting the development of innovative products: postal and parcel solutions, infrastructure, residential air management and renewable energy. The remaining new platform is water management. What these platforms have in common is that they are all large markets in which the underlying trends for customer convenience and safety, energy-savings and resource conservation are of increasing importance and are expected to drive long-term demand. These markets also offer the opportunity for higher returns on our investments than those we have generated in the past. The acquisition of Rough Brothers Manufacturing, Inc., RBI Solar, Inc., and affiliates, collectively known as "RBI" in June 2015 was the direct result of this fourth pillar.
On June 9, 2015, the Company acquired RBI for approximately $148 million. RBI is one of the largest manufacturers of commercial greenhouses in North America and has also established itself among North America’s fastest-growing providers of solar racking solutions. RBI designs and manufactures greenhouses for commercial, institutional and retail customers. In solar racking, RBI is a full service provider that engineers, manufactures and installs solar racking systems for utilities and solar park developers. RBI also sells solar racking for residential rooftops. The acquisition of RBI is expected to enable the Company to leverage its expertise in structural metals manufacturing and materials sourcing to help meet the fast-growing global demand for solar racking solutions. The results of RBI have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results since the date of the acquisition. The acquisition was financed through cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
The Company serves customers primarily throughout North America, Europe, and to a lesser extent Asia. Our customers include major home improvement retailers, wholesalers, industrial distributors, contractors, solar developers and institutional and commercial growers of plants. As of March 31, 2016, we operated 48 facilities in 19 states, Canada, England, Germany, China, and Japan giving us a base of operations to provide customer support, delivery, service and quality to a number of regional and national customers and providing us with manufacturing and distribution efficiencies in North America, as well as a presence in the European and Asian markets.
The Company operates and reports its results in the following three reporting segments, entitled “Residential Products”, “Industrial and Infrastructure Products” and "Renewable Energy and Conservation".
Our Residential Products segment focuses on new residential housing construction and residential repair and remodeling activity with products including roof and foundation ventilation products, mail and package storage products, rain dispersion products and roof ventilation accessories. Its products are sold through major retail home centers, building material wholesalers, buying groups, roofing distributors, and residential contractors.
Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment focuses on a variety of markets including discrete and process manufacturing, highway and bridge construction, and energy and power generation markets with products including fabricated bar grating for industrial flooring, expanded and perforated metal, plus expansion joints and structural bearings for roadways and bridges. This segment distributes its products through industrial, commercial and transportation contractors, industrial distributors and original equipment manufacturers.
Our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment focuses on the design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of solar racking systems and greenhouse structures. This segment's services and products are provided directly to end users and through product distribution channels.
The end markets our segments serve, which consist of residential housing, industrial manufacturing, transportation infrastructure, and renewable energy and conservation, are subject to economic conditions that are influenced by various factors. These factors include but are not limited to changes in general economic conditions, interest rates, exchange rates, credit availability, commodity costs, demand for residential construction, governmental policies and funding, tax policies and the level of non-residential construction and infrastructure projects. As a result of the Company's re-examination of its operations and re-setting of its business strategy noted above, we believe we are prepared to respond timely to changes in these factors. We have and expect to continue to restructure our operations, including consolidation of facilities, reducing overhead costs, curtailing investments in inventory, and managing our business to generate incremental cash. Additionally, we believe our new strategy has enabled us to better react to fluctuations in commodity costs and customer demand, and has helped in improving margins. We have used the improved cash flows generated by these initiatives to maintain low levels of debt, improve our liquidity position, and invest in growth initiatives. Overall, we are striving to achieve stronger financial results, make more efficient use of capital, and deliver higher shareholder returns.

Consolidated | $ | 233,677 | $ | 200,615 | $ | 33,062 |
Consolidated net sales increased by $33.1 million, or 16.5%, to $233.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to sales generated from our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment which contains the results of RBI, acquired in June 2015. This increase was partially offset by a combined 8.0% decrease in volume in both our Residential Products and Industrial and Infrastructure Products segments along with a combined 2.4% decrease in pricing to customers.
Net sales in our Residential Products segment decreased 6.2%, or $6.6 million to $100.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $106.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was a result of a 7.6% decrease in volume along with a 0.1% decrease in pricing to customers. The volume decrease in net sales was largely due to a decline in demand for our postal and parcel storage products, reflecting the expiration of a contract for cluster mailboxes at the end of 2015. Partially offsetting this decrease was a modest increase in demand for our roofing-related ventilation and rain dispersion products.
Net sales in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment decreased 15.1%, or $14.2 million to $79.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $93.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in net sales was largely due to lower volume along with a 6.6% decrease in pricing as compared to the prior year quarter. This segment was primarily impacted by lower demand for our industrial products from domestic energy-related end markets, that have been affected by reduced oil and other commodities prices.
Our consolidated gross margin increased to 21.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 14.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Within our Residential Products segment, both gross profit and gross margin, as a percentage of sales, increased as compared to the prior year quarter. This segment benefited from operational efficiencies, an improved alignment of material costs to
30
customer selling prices and contributions from our company-wide 80/20 initiatives to simplify our business processes and product lines. Decreased volume from our postal products partially offset these increases.
In our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment, while gross profit was lower, largely the result of lower volumes in industrial products along with a decrease in pricing offered to customers, gross margin as a percentage of sales increased. The margin increase was largely the result of manufacturing efficiencies, our company-wide 80/20 initiatives and better alignment of material costs to customer selling prices.
Our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment largely contributed to the increase in the consolidated gross profit for the quarter as compared to the prior year quarter, and to a lesser extent, positively impacted the year over year increase to the gross margin as a percentage of sales.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $15.6 million, or 74.5%, to $36.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $15.6 million increase was largely the result of $9.8 million of SG&A expense recorded at RBI during the first quarter of 2016, a $2.8 million increase in performance-based compensation expense, along with the benefit of a $6.8 million gain on the sale leaseback of one of our facilities recorded during the first quarter of 2015. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 15.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 10.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2015.
The following table sets forth the Company’s income from operations and income from operations as a percentage of net sales by reportable segment, along with the RBI operating segment, for the three months ended March 31, (in thousands):

Consolidated income (loss) from operations | $ | 13,607 | 5.8 | % | $ | 8,970 | 4.5 | % | $ | 4,637 |
Our Residential Products segment generated an operating margin of 12.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 11.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Excluding the impact of the $6.8 million gain on the sale leaseback of one of our facilities during the first quarter of 2015, the increase of $6.9 million of operating profit is largely due to the benefits of improved operational efficiencies and early contributions from the 80/20 simplification initiative. Partially offsetting these increases was the impact of lower sales volumes primarily from postal products during the current year quarter.
Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment generated an operating margin of 4.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 2.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Despite the decreased sales volumes in this segment, the margin increase was the result of the benefits from improved management of raw material costs along with effects of manufacturing efficiencies resulting from the 80/20 simplification.
The Renewable Energy and Conservation segment generated an operating margin of 8.0% and contributed to the consolidated margin increase.
Unallocated corporate expenses increased $1.1 million from $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $6.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was largely due to a $1.9 million increase in performance-based compensation expense over the prior year quarter, the result of improved operating results and the higher price of the Company's shares which increased the value of deferred compensation.
Other income of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased from $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Prior year income was primarily comprised of net gains on derivative contracts for hedges on foreign currencies and select raw materials related to transactions with our Residential Products segment, offset by foreign currency translation losses.
31
Interest expense remained consistent at $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, no amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
We recognized a provision for income taxes of $3.6 million and $3.3 million, with effective tax rates of 35.8% and 37.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes partially offset by deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2015 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes partially offset by deductible permanent differences.
Outlook
In 2016, we will build on our previous successes to advance our four pillar strategy, which includes operational improvement, portfolio management, product innovation plus accretive acquisitions serving as strategic accelerators to growth. As a result, even with continued softness in certain end markets, we expect to achieve our key financial objectives for 2016: increasing earnings, making more efficient use of our capital, and delivering higher shareholder returns than we did in 2015.
We expect 2016 total revenues in the range of $1.04 billion to $1.06 billion, an increase of approximately 1 percent compared with $1.04 billion in 2015, led by continuing growth in sales of solar racking. This revenue range for 2016 is lower than previous guidance due to the Company’s divestiture in April 2016 of its European industrial business that contributed $36 million in revenues with breakeven profitability to our Industrial & Infrastructure Products segment in 2015.
For the second quarter of 2016, revenues are expected to increase 7 to 8 percent as compared to the second quarter of 2015. We expect earnings to increase as compared with the second quarter of 2015 as a result of the income from the Renewable Energy and Conservation segment and continuing operational efficiencies.

Our principal capital requirements are to fund our operations with working capital, to purchase capital improvements for our business and facilities, and to fund acquisitions. We will continue to invest in growth opportunities as appropriate while focusing on working capital efficiency and profit improvement opportunities to minimize the cash invested to operate our business. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we invested cash in our working capital to meet the higher seasonal demand from our customers as noted below in the “Cash Flows” section of Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of March 31, 2016, our liquidity of $363.0 million consisted of $82.6 million of cash plus $280.4 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. We believe this liquidity, together with the cash expected to be generated from operations, should be sufficient to fund working capital needs and simplification initiatives that likely will need cash to fund transitions and future growth. We continue to search for strategic acquisitions and a larger acquisition may require additional borrowings and/or the issuance of our common stock.
Our Senior Credit Agreement provides the Company with liquidity and capital resources for use by our U.S. operations. Historically, our foreign operations have generated cash flow from operations sufficient to invest in working capital and fund their capital improvements. As of March 31, 2016, our foreign subsidiaries held $29.5 million of cash in U.S. dollars (of which $6.7 million was held by the European industrial manufacturing business sold to a third party on April 15, 2016). We believe cash held by our foreign subsidiaries provides our foreign operations with the necessary liquidity to meet future obligations and allows the foreign business units to reinvest in their operations. These cash resources could eventually be used to grow our business internationally. Repatriation of this cash for domestic purposes could result in significant tax consequences.
Over the long-term, we expect that future obligations, including strategic business opportunities such as acquisitions, may be financed through a number of sources, including internally available cash, availability under our revolving credit facility, new debt financing, the issuance of equity securities, or any combination of the above. Any potential acquisitions are evaluated based on our acquisition strategy, which includes the enhancement of our existing products, operations, or capabilities, expanding our access to new products, markets, and customers, and the improvement of shareholder value. Our 2015
32
acquisition of RBI was funded through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. These borrowings were repaid prior to the end of 2015.
These expectations are forward-looking statements based upon currently available information and may change if conditions in the credit and equity markets deteriorate or other circumstances change. To the extent that operating cash flows are lower than current levels, or sources of financing are not available or not available at acceptable terms, our future liquidity may be adversely affected.
Cash Flows
The following table sets forth selected cash flow data for the three months ended March 31, (in thousands):
2016 | 2015 | ||||||
Cash provided by (used in): | |||||||
Operating activities of continuing operations | $ | 15,354 | $ | (14,752 | ) | ||
Investing activities of continuing operations | (2,640 | ) | 24,098 | ||||
Financing activities of continuing operations | (148 | ) | (329 | ) | |||
Effect of exchange rate changes | 1,203 | (1,327 | ) | ||||
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 13,769 | $ | 7,690 |
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we generated net cash from operating activities totaling $15.4 million, driven by net income from continuing operations of $6.5 million plus $7.7 million from non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization, gain on sale of assets, and stock compensation, along with a decrease in working capital of $1.2 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $14.8 million, primarily driven by net income from continuing operations of $5.5 million offset by non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization, gain on sale of assets, and stock compensation of $3.0 million along with a seasonally higher $17.3 million investment in working capital.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the cash provided by working capital and other net assets of $1.2 million included a $14.9 million decrease in accounts receivables, a $8.5 million decrease in accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities and a $5.1 million decrease in accounts payable. The decrease in accounts receivable, which includes costs in excess of billings on contracts, is a direct result of the seasonality of customer contracts and related payments received that impact our business. The decrease in accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities of $8.5 million was largely the result of performance-based incentive compensation awards earned in 2015 that were paid during the first quarter of 2016 and the timing of interest payments made on the long-term debt during the first quarter. Accounts payable decreased due to the timing of vendor payments near the end of the quarter.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $2.6 million was primarily due to $2.3 million related to the final purchase adjustment for the acquisition of RBI. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $24.1 million was primarily due to $26.1 million received from the sale of a property offset by capital expenditures of $2.0 million.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.1 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $0.3 million was primarily the result of the purchase of treasury stock.
Senior Credit Agreement and Senior Subordinated Notes
Our Senior Credit Agreement dated December 9, 2015 provides for a revolving credit facility. The Senior Credit Agreement was amended and restated in order to convert it into a secured cash flow revolver. The terms provide that the revolving credit facility will terminate on December 9, 2020.
The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $300 million and is secured by trade receivables, inventory, personal property, equipment, and certain real property of the Company’s significant domestic subsidiaries.
Interest rates on the revolving credit facility are based on the LIBOR plus an applicable margin.
33
As of March 31, 2016, we had $280.4 million of availability under the Senior Credit Agreement net of outstanding letters of credit of $19.6 million. To finance the acquisition of RBI in the second quarter of 2015, we borrowed amounts under the revolving credit facility which were repaid prior to the end of 2015. No amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2016.
On January 31, 2013, the Company issued $210 million of 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes (6.25% Notes) due February 1, 2021. The proceeds were used to purchase and discharge its obligations under the then outstanding $204 million of 8% Senior Subordinated Notes during the first quarter of 2013.
Off Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
