NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results 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. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation. Refer to Note 2 for a summary of ASUs we adopted during 2017 and the related financial statement impact.

Immaterial Adjustment to Previously Reported Interim Period

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, immaterial differences were identified between amounts presented in prior quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and amounts required to be recorded in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles due to errors in the Company's accounting for estimated total contract costs at completion as it is related to revenue recognition under the percentage of completion accounting method. Refer to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 for a complete description of these differences. The corrected amounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Standard
Description
Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2014-09
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
And All Related ASUs
The standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The provisions of the standard, as well as all subsequently issued clarifications to the standard, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard can be adopted using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach.
The Company currently believes the most significant impact of this standard upon adoption relates to the revenue recognition for custom fabricated products within the Company's Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment. Under this standard, the Company expects to recognize revenue on an over time basis on
custom fabricated products in the Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment which is a change from our current revenue recognition policy of point-in-time basis. The Company expects revenue recognition related to the remaining Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment, Residential Products segment and Renewable Energy and Conservation segment to remain substantially unchanged upon adoption of this standard. The Company has identified and is in the process of implementing appropriate changes to the Company's business processes, systems and internal controls to support recognition and disclosure under this standard. The transition method to be adopted by the Company is still currently being evaluated. The Company has not yet completed the process of quantifying the effects of any changes that will result from adoption.

Date of adoption: Q1 2018

Leases (Topic 842)
The standard requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this standard and has not yet determined its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Date of adoption: Q1 2019
ASU No. 2016-09
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
The standard 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. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company has adopted all amendments included in this standard under each required transition method.  The Company concluded there were no material changes to prior periods, except for the following: the Company (a) reclassified its prior interim period excess tax benefit for stock compensation of $187,000 on its consolidated statement of cash flows from a financing activity to an operating activity; and (b) recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $254,000 as an increase to retained earnings and decrease to additional paid-in capital on the Company's consolidated statement of shareholders' equity as of January 1, 2017 to reflect the change in value for a restricted stock unit liability award as of December 31, 2016, as if the award had been classified as an equity award since its respective grant date.

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

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







Date of adoption: Q1 2018
ASU No. 2017-04
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
The standard eliminates the "Step 2" analysis to determine the amount of impairment realized when a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value in its "Step 1" analysis of accounting for impairment of goodwill. The impairment charge would be the amount determined in "Step 1." The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017.
The Company has adopted this standard and it did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.







Date of Adoption: Q1 2017

Table of Contents

ASU No. 2017-07
Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
The standard requires an employer to recognize the service cost component of net periodic pension costs and net periodic postretirement benefit costs in the same line item(s) as other compensation costs from services rendered by pertinent employees during the period. Other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The provisions of this standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance.
The Company has adopted this standard and has applied it retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component, as well as, other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in our statement of operations. The adoption decreased selling, general, and administrative expense by $160,000, and comparably increased other expense in our prior interim period statement of operations by the same amount. This guidance did not have any impact on our balance sheet or our statement of cash flows.

The Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 9, 2015 (the "Senior Credit Agreement") was amended to convert our secured asset based credit facility into a secured cash flow revolver, and terminates on December 9, 2020.
The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $300 million. The Company has the option to request additional financing from the banks to either increase the revolving credit facility to $500 million or to provide a term loan of up to $200 million. The Senior Credit Agreement contains financial covenants. As of March 31, 2017, the Company is in compliance with all covenants.

13


Table of Contents

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement are secured by the trade receivables, inventory, personal property, equipment, and certain real property of the Company’s significant domestic subsidiaries. Interest rates on the revolving credit facility are based on the LIBOR plus an additional margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans based on the Total Leverage Ratio.
In addition, the revolving credit facility is subject to an undrawn commitment fee ranging between 0.20% and 0.30% based on the Total Leverage Ratio and the daily average undrawn balance.
Standby letters of credit of $13,081,000 have been issued under the Senior Credit Agreement on behalf of the Company as of March 31, 2017. These letters of credit reduce the amount otherwise available under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $286,919,000 of availability under the revolving credit facility. No borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2017 and December 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 provisions of the 6.25% Notes include, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, asset sales, affiliate transactions, dividends, and other restricted payments. Dividend payments are subject to annual limits and interest is paid semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

10. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
On May 6, 2016, the shareholders of the Company authorized the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("Non-Employee Directors Plan"). The Non-Employee Directors Plan is a compensation plan that allows the Company to grant awards of shares of the Company's common stock to non-employee Directors of the Company. In connection with the Non-Employee Directors Plan, the Company adopted a new stock deferral plan, the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock Deferral Plan ("Deferral Plan"). The Deferral Plan permits non-employee Directors of the Company to defer receipt of shares of common stock which the non-employee Director is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of the Non-Employee Directors Plan.
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.

Included in the performance stock units disclosed above are 78,482 units awarded in February 2017 for which the final number of units that will convert to shares will be determined based on the Company’s actual return on invested capital (ROIC) relative to the ROIC targeted for the performance period ended December 31, 2017. The remaining 20,000 units were also awarded in February 2017. The number of shares to be issued to the recipient will be determined based upon the ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return over a three (3) year performance period ended February 1, 2020 compared to the total shareholder return of companies in the S&P Small Cap Industrial Sector over such period.
Performance Stock Units - Settled in Cash
The Company awarded performance stock units ("PSUs") that will convert to cash after three years based upon a one year performance period in 2016, 2015 and 2014. The cost of these awards is recognized over the requisite vesting period. The PSUs earned over the performance period are determined based on the Company’s actual return on invested capital (ROIC) relative to the ROIC targeted for the performance period.

During the 2016 performance period, the participants earned an aggregate of 250,000 PSUs, representing 200% of the targeted
2016 award of 125,000. This award will convert to cash payable in January 2019.
During the 2015 performance period, the participants earned an aggregate of 438,000 PSUs, representing 200% of the targeted 2015 award of 219,000. This award will convert to cash payable in January 2018.
The following table summarizes the compensation expense recognized for the PSUs which will convert to cash for the three months ended March 31, (in thousands):

Management Stock Purchase Plan
The Management Stock Purchase Plan ("MSPP") provides participants the ability to defer a portion of their compensation, 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. Matching awards are not provided to directors. 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.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Company had no financial assets or liabilities measure at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company’s only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of outstanding debt net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $219,373,000 and $219,898,000, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $209,833,000 and $209,637,000, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s Senior Subordinated 6.25% Notes is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices adjusted for unamortized debt issuance costs. 

12. EXIT ACTIVITY COSTS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
The Company has entered its third year of a five year planned transformation strategy formulated to transform its operations and improve its financial results over this five year period. This strategy includes an 80/20 simplification initiative which, 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, low margin, internally-produced products which have been or will be outsourced or discontinued. Portfolio management, another key part of the strategy and a natural adjunct to the 80/20 initiative, is another initiative in which management conducts strategic reviews of our current portfolio for future profitable growth and greater shareholder returns. This initiative has resulted in the sale and exiting of less profitable businesses or products lines in order to enable the Company to re-allocate leadership, time, capital and resources to the highest potential platforms and businesses. Exit activity costs and asset impairment charges were incurred as a result of these initiatives.
Exit activity costs were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 which relate 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, 2017, asset impairment charges incurred were more than offset by a gain on sale of assets previously impaired in 2016 as a result of businesses and product lines discontinued. Specifically, the exit of both the Company's small European residential solar racking business and the exit of the Company's U.S. bar grating product line, which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016, transacted sales of assets during the three months ended March 31, 2017 which resulted in a net gain. These exits are expected to be completed in the first half of 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, asset impairment charges were incurred related 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the company closed three facilities as a result of these initiatives.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred asset impairment charges and exit activity costs resulting from the above initiatives as well.
The following tables set forth the asset impairment charges and exit activity costs in conjunction with these efforts, incurred by segment during the three months ended March 31, related to the restructuring activities described above (in thousands):

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

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain information set forth herein includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and, therefore, are or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, competition, strategies and the industry in which we operate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industries in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained herein. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industries in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements that we make herein speak only as of the date of those statements, and we undertake no obligation to update those statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
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. Our business strategy focuses on significantly elevating and accelerating the growth and financial returns of the Company. We strive to deliver best-in-class, sustainable value creation for our shareholders for the long-term. We believe this can be achieved from a transformational change in the Company’s portfolio and its financial results. Our business strategy has four key elements, or "pillars," 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 a core part of the operational excellence pillar and 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 have recently completed the second year of our multi-year simplification initiative. Since initiation of 80/20 in 2015, we have achieved nearly 250 basis points of operating margin improvement from 80/20 simplification initiatives and exceeded our initial five-year target ending 2019 of $25 million of pre-tax savings. We currently sit at the start of the "middle innings" of this 80/20 initiative, which means that there is both more work and more opportunity ahead. We are targeting greater structural changes affecting the balance sheet. We are just starting the follow-on management tools of in-lining our manufacturing processes linked with market-rate-of-demand replenishment tools. These follow-on tools are focused on process manufacturing the highest-volume products for our largest customers, and on a much higher level of capacity utilization. We expect these methods will yield additional benefits including lower manufacturing costs, lower inventories and fixed assets, and an even higher level of service to customers. Additionally, we are focused on driving top line growth with new and innovative products. Our initiatives will be tailored toward reallocating sales and marketing talent to target specific end user groups in order to better understand their needs and the various market opportunities that may be available. This effort is expected to produce ideas and opportunities that generate profitable growth.

The second pillar of our strategy is portfolio management, which is a natural adjunct to the 80/20 initiative. Using the 80/20 process, we conduct strategic reviews of our customers and end markets, and allocate leadership time, capital and resources to the highest-potential platforms and businesses. Following the sale of our European industrial manufacturing business to a third party in April 2016, we next decided in December 2016 to exit our small European residential solar racking business and U.S. bar grating product line, which are proceeding as planned. These portfolio changes have helped contribute to the Company's

27


Table of Contents

realization of a higher rate of return on invested capital in 2016. We have now acted on all near-term portfolio assessments and expect no additional changes in 2017 while we continue to position our resources on more attractive projects and markets.

Product innovation is our third strategic pillar. Innovation is centered on 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 is 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; zero carbon footprint homes; the need for repairs to elevated bridges that are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete; and energy sources not dependent on fossil fuels.

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 targeting the development of innovative products: postal and parcel solutions, infrastructure, residential air management and renewable energy. The remaining new platform is water management and conservation. These platforms 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. We believe these markets also offer the opportunity for higher returns on our investments than those we have generated in the past. The acquisitions of Rough Brothers Manufacturing, Inc., RBI Solar, Inc., and affiliates, collectively known as "RBI" in June 2015 and more recently, Nexus Corporation ("Nexus") in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, were the direct result of this fourth pillar strategy.
On February 22, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Package Concierge for approximately $19 million subject to a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments provided for in the stock purchase agreement. The acquisition was financed through cash on hand. Package Concierge is a leading provider of multifamily electronic package delivery locker systems in the United States. The results of operations of Package Concierge have been included within the Residential Products segment of the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
On February 6, 2017, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its U.S. bar grating product line assets to a third party. The Company had previously announced, on December 2, 2016, its intentions to exit its U.S. bar grating product line as part of its portfolio management initiative. These assets were a part of our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment.

On December 2, 2016, the Company announced its decision to exit its European residential solar racking business and U.S. bar grating product line as part of its portfolio management and 80/20 strategic initiatives. These businesses contributed a combined $75 million in revenue and pre-tax operating losses of $6 million in 2016. This action resulted in the sale and closing of 3 facilities in early 2017.

On October 11, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Nexus for approximately $24 million. The acquisition was financed through cash on hand. Nexus is a leading provider of commercial-scale greenhouses to customers in the United States. The results of operations of Nexus have been included within the Renewable Energy and Conservation segment of the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On April 15, 2016, the Company sold its European industrial manufacturing business to a third party for net of cash proceeds of $8.3 million. This business, which supplied expanded metal products for filtration and other applications, contributed $36 million in revenue to the Company's Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment in 2015 and had nearly break-even operating results. The divestiture of this business is in alignment with the Company's portfolio management assessments.

The Company serves customers primarily throughout North America 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, 2017, we operated 42 facilities in 18 states, Canada, 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 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 services 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. This segment's 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 industrial and commercial construction, highway and bridge construction, automotive, airports and energy and power generation markets with products including perimeter security, expanded and perforated metal, plank grating, as well as, expansion joints and structural bearings for roadways and bridges. This segment sells its products through steel fabricators and distributors, commercial and transportation contractors, and original equipment manufacturers.

Our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment focuses on the design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of solar racking systems and commercial, institutional, and retail greenhouse structures. This segment's services and products are provided directly to developers, select distribution channels, and end users/owners.
The end markets our businesses serve include residential housing, industrial manufacturing, transportation infrastructure, and renewable energy and conservation. These end markets are subject to economic conditions that are influenced by various factors. These factors include but are not limited to changes in general economic conditions, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity costs, demand for residential construction, governmental policies and funding, tax policies and the level of non-residential construction and infrastructure projects. We believe the key elements of our strategy will allow us 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 current 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 net sales decreased by $31.1 million, or 13.1%, to $206.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in sales was primarily the result of divestitures related to the Company’s portfolio management activities during 2016. The Company sold its European industrial manufacturing business in April 2016 to a third party and exited both the Company's small European residential solar racking business and the Company's U.S. bar grating product line, both of which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016. These divestitures resulted in a decrease in revenues of $28.5 million from the prior year quarter. Along with the divestitures, volumes in comparable revenue streams quarter over quarter decreased 5.0%. Slightly offsetting these declines were net sales contributions from our recent acquisitions in our Renewable Energy and Conservation and Residential Products Segments, Nexus in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, along with a modest 1.3% increase in pricing to customers.
Net sales in our Residential Products segment increased 4.4%, or $4.4 million to $104.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $100.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was the result of sales generated from the acquisition of Package Concierge, a 2.0% increase in pricing to customers, and a 0.8% net increase in volume. The net sales volume increase was primarily due to an increase in demand for our postal and parcel storage products.
Net sales in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment decreased 36.9%, or $29.4 million to $50.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $79.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in net sales was the combined result of the Company's exit from its U.S. bar grating product line and the divestiture of our European industrial manufacturing business, along with a 4.7% decrease in volume as compared to the same period in the prior year. A decrease in demand for our infrastructure products, which include components for bridges and elevated highways, contributed to the decline in volume due to continued delay in infrastructure projects. We expect this decline to be temporary due to pending federal and state funding availability and as evidenced by an increase in infrastructure backlog for the quarter.
Net sales in our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment decreased 10.5%, or $6.1 million to $51.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $57.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was the result of a 13.8% decrease in volume along with the effects of the exit of the Company's small European residential solar racking business, partially offset by sales generated from the acquisition of Nexus. The decline in volume from the comparable quarter was largely due to carryover benefit realized in the first quarter of 2016 from the increased sales activity near the end of 2015 as developers pushed to complete new solar installations to qualify for the then expected expiration of the federal investment tax credit at the end of 2015. In addition, we were more selective with the projects pursued during 2016 to ensure that we provided expected levels of service to our key customers as we moved production of major components of our new racking system in-house.  We became satisfied with the results of our progress with this design change and in-sourcing project during the fourth quarter of 2016 and then we began to more aggressively pursue projects.  
As a result, we entered 2017 with lower backlogs as compared to the beginning of 2016.
Our consolidated gross margin increased to 23.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 22.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company largely benefited from portfolio management actions during 2016 in which less profitable businesses or products lines were sold or exited in order to enable the Company to re-allocate leadership, time, capital and resources to the highest potential platforms and businesses. In addition, other restructuring actions taken resulting from our 80/20 initiatives in 2016 reduced costs and contributed to the increased margin as well.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $3.2 million, or 8.8%, to $39.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $36.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The $3.2 million increase was primarily

30


due to a $1.8 million increase in restructuring costs related to our portfolio management and 80/20 initiatives, as well as senior leadership transition and acquisition-related costs. Also contributing to the increase was $1.4 million of higher performance-based compensation expense, the result of the higher price of the Company's shares which increased as compared to the first quarter of 2016. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 19.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 15.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Our Residential Products segment generated an operating margin of 15.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 12.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase of $3.4 million of operating profit is due to the benefits of improved operational efficiencies and contributions from the 80/20 simplification initiative.

Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment generated an operating margin of (0.1)% during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 4.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was largely the result of lower volumes resulting from the divestitures of our U.S. bar grating product line and our European industrial manufacturing business not fully offset by the effects of manufacturing efficiencies resulting from the 80/20 simplification.

The Renewable Energy and Conservation segment generated an operating margin of 6.4% in the current year quarter compared to 14.4% in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume along with an unfavorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices, partially offset by results from the execution of operational efficiencies in the segment, including rising synergies from raw material sourcing, freight management, and strategic make-versus-buy decisions.
Unallocated corporate expenses increased $3.2 million from $6.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $9.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The largest contributor to the higher expenses quarter over quarter was the $1.4 million increase in performance-based compensation expense, resulting from the higher price of the Company's shares as compared to the first quarter of 2016. Senior leadership transition and acquisition costs recorded during the first quarter of 2017 also contributed to the increased expenses over the comparable period for 2016.
The Company recorded other expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Other income, net of other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was negligible.
Interest expense modestly decreased by $0.1 million to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
We recognized a provision for income taxes of $2.1 million and $5.1 million, with effective tax rates of 33.9% and 36.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to net deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items partially offset by state taxes and $0.9 million of pretax losses generated by the European residential solar racking business for which no tax benefit has been recorded as such benefit is not expected to be realizable. 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.
Outlook
For 2017, we expect strong top-line and bottom-line growth in the third and fourth quarters, following short-term challenges to the second quarter. These challenges include a difficult year-over-year comparison due to portfolio management actions to drive higher profitability and returns, a one-quarter delay in the recovery of our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment,

as it is not rebounding at the pace anticipated when full year guidance was provided in mid-February, continued difficult market conditions in the industrial and infrastructure markets, and higher raw material pricing. At the same time, we expect generally favorable market conditions at our Residential Products segment in the second quarter and to continue throughout the year.
As a result of the delay in the rebound in the Renewable Energy and Conservation market and headwinds in the Industrial markets, we are reducing guidance for full-year 2017. The markets are rebounding, with backlog in the Renewable Energy and Conservation market exceeding prior-year levels at the end of the first quarter. In addition, in the second half of the year, we expect to capitalize on the benefits of our recent portfolio management and product innovation actions; and the lessening effect of higher raw material costs.
As we proceed in 2017, we will advance our four-pillar strategy with a particular focus on strategic acquisitions, product innovation, and the next set of management tools for our 80/20 initiative. Our strategy remains effective and we are confident in achieving another year of higher profitability and returns.
The Company is revising its full-year revenue guidance to be approximately 3% below 2016 revenues. 2017 revenues will be impacted from our 2016 portfolio management actions, resulting in a year over year decline of approximately 8%, that will be partially offset by recent acquisitions which add nearly 2% to revenues. We believe that revenue streams occurring in both annual periods will contribute growth of 3% to 2017. The Company also expects EPS to be between $1.37 and $1.50 per diluted share, comparing favorably to $1.05 in 2016.

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

On December 9, 2015, we entered into the Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement") which includes a 5-year, $300 million revolving credit facility and provides the Company with access to capital and improved financial flexibility. As of March 31, 2017, our liquidity of $447.8 million consisted of $160.9 million of cash plus $286.9 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. We believe this liquidity, together with the cash expected to be generated from operations, should be sufficient to fund working capital needs and simplification initiatives that likely will need cash to fund transitions and future growth. We continue to search for strategic acquisitions and larger acquisitions may require additional borrowings and/or the issuance of our common stock.
Our Senior Credit Agreement provides the Company with liquidity and capital resources for use by our U.S. operations. Historically, our foreign operations have generated cash flow from operations sufficient to invest in working capital and fund their capital improvements. As of March 31, 2017, our foreign subsidiaries held $22.1 million of cash in U.S. dollars. 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. The recent acquisitions of Nexus Corporation and Package Concierge on October 11, 2016 and February 22, 2017, respectively, were financed through cash on hand.
These expectations are forward-looking statements based upon currently available information and may change if conditions in the credit and equity markets deteriorate or other circumstances change. To the extent that operating cash flows are lower than current levels, or sources of financing are not available or not available at acceptable terms, our future liquidity may be adversely affected.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we generated net cash from operating activities totaling $2.3 million, composed of net income of $4.0 million plus $6.4 million from non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization, stock compensation, and exit activities, partially offset by an investment in working capital and other net assets of $8.1 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $15.5 million, primarily composed of net income from continuing operations of $9.0 million plus non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization and stock compensation of $7.9 million, partially offset by a $1.4 million investment in working capital.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the cash invested in working capital and other net assets of $8.1 million included $2.3 million and $0.4 million decreases in inventory and other current assets and other assets, respectively, a $5.7 million increase in accounts payable, offset by a $4.4 million increase in accounts receivable and a $12.1 decrease in accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities. The decrease in inventory is due to the Company's continued 80/20 simplification process efforts, which has resulted in the discontinuation of less profitable product lines and the corresponding disposal of inventory associated with those product lines. The decrease in other current assets and other assets is primarily due to the timing of prepaid expenses. Accounts payable increased due to the seasonal increase in manufacturing activity. The increase 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 $12.1 million was largely due to the decrease in liabilities for equity based incentive plans and the timing of interest payments made on long-term debt as well as annual customer rebate payments made during the first quarter, offset by billings in excess of cost related to the timing of customer contracts.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $10.8 million primarily consisted of $18.4 million of net cash paid for the acquisition of Package Concierge, capital expenditures of $1.4 million and a payment of $0.2 million related to the final purchase adjustment for the acquisition of Nexus. These payments were partially offset by net proceeds of $9.2 million from the sale of property and equipment. 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 used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $0.9 million primarily consisted of the purchase of treasury stock. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 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 is committed through December 9, 2020. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement are secured by the trade receivables, inventory, personal property, equipment, and certain real property of the Company’s significant domestic subsidiaries. The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $300 million. The Company can request additional financing from the banks to increase the revolving credit facility to $500 million or to provide a term loan of up to $200 million subject to conditions set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement. The Senior Credit Agreement contains three financial covenants. As of March 31, 2017, the Company is in compliance with all three covenants.

Interest rates on the revolving credit facility are based on the LIBOR plus an additional margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans based on the Total Leverage Ratio. In addition, the revolving credit facility is subject to an undrawn commitment fee ranging between 0.20% and 0.30% based on the Total Leverage Ratio and the daily average undrawn balance.
As of March 31, 2017, we had $286.9 million of availability under the Senior Credit Agreement net of outstanding letters of credit of $13.1 million. No amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of either March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
