NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PGT Innovations, Inc. and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including, PGT Industries, Inc., CGI Window and Door Holdings, Inc. (“CGI”), CGI Commercial, Inc. (“CGIC”), WinDoor, Incorporated, Coyote Acquisition Co. and WWS Acquisition LLC (formerly known as GEF WW Parent LLC) (collectively, the “Company”), after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

PGT Innovations, Inc. (“PGTI”, “we,” or the “Company”), formerly named PGT, Inc., is a leading manufacturer of impact-resistant aluminum and vinyl-framed windows and doors and energy-efficient windows and doors designed to unify indoor/outdoor living spaces and offers a broad range of fully customizable window and door products. Products are sold through an authorized dealer and distributor network. The majority of our sales are to customers in the state of Florida, but we sell products to customers in many states. We also have sales in the Caribbean, Canada, and in South and Central America. With the acquisition of Western Window Systems (‘WWS’), we have an increased level of sales in the western United States. See Note 6 for a discussion of this acquisition.

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware on December 16, 2003, as JLL Window Holdings, Inc., with primary operations in North Venice, Florida. On February 15, 2006, our Company was renamed PGT, Inc. On December 14, 2016, we announced that we changed our name to PGT Innovations, Inc. and, effective on December 28, 2016, the listing of our common stock was transferred to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) from the NASDAQ Global Market (NASDAQ), and began trading on the NYSE under its existing ticker symbol of “PGTI”. We have four manufacturing operations in Florida, with one in North Venice, two in the greater Miami area, and one in Orlando and one in Arizona. Additionally, we have two glass tempering and laminating plants and one insulation glass plant, all located in North Venice.

All references to PGTI or our Company apply to the consolidated financial statements of PGT Innovations, Inc. unless otherwise noted.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the current year or for any future periods. Each of the Company’s fiscal quarters ended March 30, 2019, and March 31, 2018, consisted of 13 weeks.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2018, is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2018, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 30, 2019, should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 29, 2018, included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the adoption of the guidance relating to leases discussed below, the accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

In the three months ended March 30, 2019, we concluded that we have two reportable segments: the Southeast segment, and the Western segment. The Southeast reporting segment, which is also an operating segment, is composed of our sales in Florida, the core market of our Legacy business, as well as Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and the Caribbean. The Western reporting segment, also an operating segment, is composed of sales in the rest of the United States, along with Canada and Mexico. While both of our operating segments have products, distribution methods and customers of a similar nature, we determined to not aggregate them due to the differences in their geographic markets. Therefore, our operating segments are our reportable segments. See Note 16 for segment disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements”. The new standard requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

The new standard was effective for us on December 30, 2018 (the first day of our 2019 fiscal year), with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard on this date, using the required modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all leases existing on the effective date. Consequently, financial information was not updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard are and will not be provided for dates and periods prior to December 30, 2018. As of the date of adoption, all of our leases were operating leases, and we have no financing leases as of March 30, 2019.

The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and direct costs, and implemented internal controls and additional lease accounting and tracking procedures to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient, or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements as it was not applicable to us.

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualified, primarily for certain vehicle and office equipment leases that are month-to-month leases. This means, for those leases, we did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets.

This standard had a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet relating to the recognition of an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability on our balance sheet for our real estate operating leases and to providing new disclosures about our leasing activities. On adoption, we recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset of $31.2 million, and an operating lease liability of $33.6 million, based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. Calculation of the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments required the use of judgment relating to the selection of the discount rate applied to future lease payments. We used a weighted-average interest rate of 6.2%, which was based on a current trade rate for our 2018 Senior Notes due 2026. See Note 10 for additional information relating to our leases.

Leases Accounting Policy

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current portion of operating lease liability, and operating lease liability, less current portion on our consolidated balance sheets. Should we engage in any finance leases in the future, finance leases would be included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurement Disclosures

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on its fair value disclosures.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. Subsequently, in November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”. ASU 2018-19 clarifies the codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance. ASU’s 2016-13 and 2018-19 are effective for us for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting these new standards updates will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, we extend credit to qualified dealers and distributors, generally on a non-collateralized basis. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which is based on management’s assessments of the amount which may become uncollectible in the future and is determined through consideration of our write-off history, specific identification of uncollectible accounts based in part on the customer’s past due balance (based on contractual terms), and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions. Uncollectible accounts are written off after repeated attempts to collect from the customer have been unsuccessful. As of March 30, 2019, and December 29, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

NOTE 2. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy

The Company is a manufacturer of fully-customized windows and doors, and manufactures products based on design specifications, measurements, colors, finishes, framing materials, glass-types, and other options selected by the customer at the point in time an order is received from the customer. The Company has an enforceable right to payment at the time an order is received and accepted at the agreed-upon sales prices contained in our agreements with our customers for all manufacturing efforts expended by the Company on behalf of its customers. Due to the customized build-to-order nature of the Company’s products, the Company’s assessment is that substantially all of its finished goods and certain unused glass components have no alternative use, and that control of these products and components passes to the customer over time during the manufacturing of the products in an order, or upon our receipt of certain pre-cut glass components from our supplier attributed to specific customer orders. Based on these factors, the Company recognizes the substantial portion of revenue over time during the manufacturing process once customization begins, and for certain unused glass components on hand, at the end of a reporting period. Revenue on work-in-process at the end of a reporting period is recognized in proportion to costs incurred to total estimated cost of the product being manufactured. Revenue recognized at a point in time is immaterial.

Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers

As discussed in note 1, in the first quarter of 2019, we determined that we have two reportable segments: our Southeast business unit and our Western business unit. See note 16 for more information. Net sales of the Western business unit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not presented as they were immaterial. The following tables provides information about our net sales by product category and by channel for the three months ended March 30, 2019, by segment, and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (dollars in millions):

Contract Balances

Contract assets represent sales recognized in excess of billings related to finished goods not yet shipped and certain unused glass components not yet placed into the production process for which revenue is recognized over time as noted above. Contract liabilities relate to customer deposits at the end of reporting periods. At March 30, 2019, and December 29, 2018, those contract liabilities totaled $8.6 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of which $7.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively, and are classified within accrued liabilities, and $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, are classified within contract assets, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 30, 2019, and December 29, 2018.

Because of the short-term nature of our performance obligations, as discussed below, substantially all of our performance obligations are satisfied within the quarter following the end of a reporting period. As such, substantially all of the contract liabilities at December 29, 2018 were satisfied in the three-month period ended March 30, 2019. Contract assets at December 29, 2018 were transferred to accounts receivable in the three-month period ended March 30, 2019. Contract liabilities at March 30, 2019 represents cash received during the three-month period ended March 30, 2019, excluding amounts recognized as revenue during that period. Contract assets at March 30, 2019 represents revenue recognized during the three-month period ended March 30, 2019, excluding amounts transferred to accounts receivable during that period.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. Our contracts with our customers generally represent an approved purchase order, which is typically accounted for as a single performance obligation. In situations when our contract includes distinct goods that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time, they are recognized as a series of distinct goods. We allocate the contract’s transaction price to each distinct product based on the estimated relative standalone selling price of each distinct good. Observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price.

Performance obligations are satisfied over time, generally for our custom products, and as of a point in time for our standard products. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, and we have elected not to disclose our unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 30, 2019 under the short-term contract exemption as we expect such performance obligations will be satisfied within the quarter following the end of a reporting period.

Policies Regarding Shipping and Handling Costs and Commissions on Contract Assets

The Company has made a policy election to continue to recognize shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment activity. Treating shipping and handling as a fulfillment activity requires estimated shipping and handling costs for undelivered products and certain glass components on which we have recognized revenue and created a contract asset, to be accrued to match this cost with the recognized revenue. This policy is unchanged from the Company’s policy for recognizing shipping and handling costs prior to the adoption of the new revenue guidance.

The Company utilizes the practical expedient which permits expensing of costs to obtain a contract when the expected amortization period is one year or less, which typically results in expensing commissions paid to employees. We expense sales commissions paid to employees as sales are recognized, including sales from the creation of contract assets, as the expected amortization period is less than one year.

NOTE 3. WARRANTY

Most of our manufactured products are sold with warranties. Warranty periods, which vary by product components, generally range from 1 to 10 years; however, the warranty period for a limited number of specifically identified components in certain applications is a lifetime. The majority of the products sold have warranties on components which range from 1 to 3 years. The amount charged to expense for warranties is based on management’s assessment of the cost per service call and the number of service calls expected to be incurred to satisfy warranty obligations on the current net sales.

During the three months ended March 30, 2019, we recorded warranty expense at a rate of approximately 1.6% of sales, which decreased from the rate in the first quarter of 2018 of 1.7% of sales.

The following table summarizes: current period charges, adjustments to previous estimates, if necessary, as well as settlements, which represent actual costs incurred during the period for the three months ended March 30, 2019, and March 31, 2018. The reserve is determined through specific identification and assessing Company history. Expected future obligations are discounted to a current value using a risk-free rate for obligations with similar maturities.

Three months ended March 31, 2018	$	5,386	$	2,366	$	(110	)	$	(2,319	)	$	5,323

NOTE 4. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist principally of raw materials purchased for the manufacture of our products. We have limited finished goods inventory since the substantial majority of our products are custom, made-to-order and the revenue on these products, as well as the related cost, has been fully recognized upon completion of the manufacturing process. Finished goods inventory, and wo rk-in-progress costs include direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following:

NOTE 5. STOCK BASED-COMPENSATION

Exercises

For the three months ended March 30, 2019, there were 106,740 options exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $2.00 per share.

Issuance

On January 7, 2019, Francis Powell Hawes, a then newly-appointed member of our Board of Directors, received a prorated stock award of 1,720 shares of restricted stock as compensation for her Board service. The restricted stock award has a fair value on date of grant of $16.10 per share based on the closing New York Stock Exchange market price of the common stock on the day prior to the day the awards were granted, for a total grant-date fair value of $27,690 which will be considered as director compensation in fiscal year 2019. This grant vests on the first anniversary of the grant date.

On February 14, 2019, we granted 258,628 restricted stock awards to certain executives and non-executive employees of the Company under the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The restrictions on these stock awards lapse over time based solely on continued service. However, the quantity of restricted shares granted on half of these shares, or 129,314 shares, is fixed, whereas the quantity granted on the remaining half, or 129,314 shares, is subject to Company-specific performance criteria. The restricted stock awards have a fair value on date of grant of $17.76 per share based on the closing New York Stock Exchange market price of the common stock on the day prior to the day the awards were granted. Those restricted shares whose quantity is fixed vest in equal amounts over a

three-year period on the first, second and third anniversary dates of the grant. Those restricted shares whose quantity is subject to Company performance criteria vest in equal amounts on the second and third anniversary dates of the grant, if they are earned.

The performance criteria, as defined in the share awards, provides for a graded awarding of shares based on the percentage by which the Company meets earnings before interest and taxes, as defined, in our 2019 business plan. The performance percentages, ranging from less than 80% to greater than 120%, provide for the awarding of shares ranging from no shares to 150% of the target number of shares.

On March 1, 2019, we granted an additional 33,663 restricted stock awards to certain executives and non-executive employees of the Company under last year’s 2018 LTIP, because the Company achieved more than 120% of the target level of our 2018 LTIP performance metric, bringing the total number of performance shares issued to each participant of the 2018 LTIP remaining with the Company on March 1, 2019 to 150% of the target number of performance shares granted to each participant.

Stock Compensation Expense

We record stock compensation expense over an equity award’s vesting period based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. We recorded compensation expense for stock-based awards of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2019, and $0.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. As of March 30, 2019, there was $6.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related primarily to restricted share awards. These costs are expected to be recognized in earnings on an accelerated basis over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.8 years at March 30, 2019.

NOTE 6. ACQUISITION

WESTERN WINDOW SYSTEMS

Preliminary purchase price allocation

On August 13, 2018 (the “closing date”), we completed the acquisition of Western Window Systems (“WWS”), which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PGT Innovations, Inc. The fair value of consideration transferred in the acquisition was $354.6 million. The acquisition was financed with proceeds of $315.0 million from the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026, and with $39.6 million in cash on hand. See Note 9 for a discussion of the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026.

The preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as of the closing date, are as follows:

	Initial Allocation			Adjustments to Allocation			Current Allocation
Accounts and notes receivable	$	7,555		$	(217	)	$	7,338
Inventories		12,580			—			12,580
Contract assets, net		890			—			890
Prepaid expenses and other assets		1,190			—			1,190
Property and equipment		16,416			(447	)		15,969
Intangible assets		167,000			—			167,000
Goodwill		164,379			5,388			169,767
Accounts payable		(5,622	)		—			(5,622	)
Accrued and other liabilities		(9,175	)		—			(9,175	)
Deferred income taxes		—			(5,353	)		(5,353	)
Purchase price	$	355,213		$	(629	)	$	354,584

Consideration:
Cash	$	355,213		$	(629	)	$	354,584
Total fair value of consideration	$	355,213		$	(629	)	$	354,584

The fair value of certain working capital related items, including accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximated their book values at the date of the WWS Acquisition. The fair value of inventory was estimated by major category, at net realizable value. The substantial majority of inventories at the acquisition date was composed of raw materials. The fair value of property and equipment and remaining useful lives were estimated by management, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, using the cost approach. Valuations of the intangible assets were done using income and royalty relief approaches based on projections provided by management, which we consider to be Level 3 inputs.

The WWS Acquisition included its then-existing subsidiary, WWS Blocker LLC (Blocker). Blocker was a single-purpose U.S. tax blocker which held a 18.06% ownership percentage of the combined ownership of WWS, and for which that portion of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the WWS Acquisition was not eligible for a step-up in basis. As a result, we recorded a

net deferred tax liability of $5.4 million in the WWS Acquisition, primarily relating to the fair value of the acquired identifiable indefinite-lived and amortizable intangible assets. This amount is subject to change pending finalization of the purchase price allocation for tax purposes. Subsequent to the acquisition, Blocker was merged out of existence.

We incurred acquisition costs totaling $4.4 million relating to legal expenses, representations and warranties insurance, diligence, accounting and printing services in the WWS Acquisition, which includes $0.7 million in additional costs in the first quarter of 2019, classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2019. We began incurring these costs in the second quarter of 2018. As such there are no WWS Acquisition related costs included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The remaining consideration, after identified intangible assets and the net assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, has been preliminarily determined to be $169.8 million, of which we estimate $139.6 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents the increased value of the combined entity through additional sales channel opportunities as well as penetration of a new geographic market with enhanced opportunities for cross-selling of our multiple brands in all markets. If our preliminary value of assets and liabilities changes, there will be an equal and offsetting change to the recorded goodwill.

The purchase agreement relating to the WWS Acquisition (PA) has a post-closing working capital calculation whereby we were required to prepare, and which we delivered to the sellers, a final statement of purchase price, including our calculation of actual net working capital as of the closing date. The calculation resulted in a net decrease in purchase price of $0.6 million.

No net sales or earnings are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as the WWS Acquisition was effective on August 13, 2018.

Preliminary valuation of identified intangible assets

The valuation of the identifiable intangible assets acquired in the WWS acquisition and our estimate of their respective useful lives are as follows:

	Preliminary		Initial
	Valuation		Useful Life
	Amount		(in years)
(in thousands)
Trade name	$	73,000	indefinite
Customer relationships		94,000	10

Other intangible assets, net	$	167,000

NOTE 7. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilutive effect of potential common shares from securities such as stock options.

There were 263 thousand anti-dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 30, 2019, and none for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The table below presents the calculation of EPS and a reconciliation of weighted average common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for our Company:

2018 Senior Notes due 2026

On August 10, 2018, we completed the issuance of $315.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes (“2018 Senior Notes due 2026”), issued at 100% of their principal amount. The 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future restricted subsidiaries, other than any restricted subsidiary of the Company that does not guarantee the existing senior secured credit facilities or any permitted refinancing thereof. The 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and the guarantors, respectively, and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt and senior to all existing and future subordinated debt of the Company and the guarantors. The 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 were offered under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, and in transactions outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act, and have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act.

The 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 mature on August 10, 2026. Interest on the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 is payable semi-annually, in arrears, beginning on February 16, 2019, with interest accruing at a rate of 6.75% per annum from August 10, 2018. We incurred financing costs relating to bank fees and professional services costs relating to the offering and issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 totaling $10.4 million, which is being amortized under the effective interest method. See “Deferred Financing Costs” below. As of March 30, 2019, the face value of debt outstanding under the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 was $315.0 million, and accrued interest totaled $3.6 million.

The indenture for the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 gives us the ability to optionally redeem some or all of the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 at the redemption prices and on the terms specified in the indenture governing the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026. The indenture governing the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 does not require us to make any mandatory redemptions or sinking fund payments. However, upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the indenture, the Company is required to offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

The indenture for the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 includes certain covenants limiting the ability of the Company and any guarantors to, (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments; (iii) enter into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of assets; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vi) create or incur liens; merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (vii) place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Company; and (viii) designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

2016 Credit Agreement due 2022

under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 are subject to exceptions, guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries that are restricted subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets as well as our direct and indirect restricted subsidiaries’ assets.

On March 16, 2018, we entered into an amendment of our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment, among other things, decreases the applicable interest rate margins for the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022) from (i) 3.75% to 2.50%, in the case of the Base Rate Loans (as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022), and (ii) 4.75% to 3.50%, in the case of the Eurodollar Loans (as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022). On February 17, 2017, we entered into the first amendment to our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, which also resulted in decreases in the applicable margins, but which, unlike the Second Amendment, did not include any changes in lender positions.

In connection with the Second Amendment, certain existing lenders changed their positions in or exited the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, which resulted in the write-offs of portions of the deferred financing costs and original issue discount allocated to these lenders. Additionally, at the time of the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026, certain existing lenders reduced their positions in the revolving credit portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, which resulted in the write-offs of the deferred financing costs allocated to these lenders. As such, write-offs totaling $3.4 million is classified as debt extinguishment costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 29, 2018.

Regarding the first amendment as described above, as there were no changes in lender positions, this action did not result in any modifications or extinguishments of debt. Therefore, there was no charge for debt extinguishment costs in 2017.

Interest on all loans under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 is payable either quarterly or at the expiration of any LIBOR interest period applicable thereto. Prior to amending the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 on March 16, 2018, as described above, borrowings under the term loans and the revolving credit facility accrued interest at a rate equal to, at our option, LIBOR (with a floor of 100 basis points in respect of the term loan), or a base rate (with a floor of 200 basis points in respect of the term loan) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin was 475 basis points in the case of LIBOR and 375 basis points in the case of the base rate. The weighted average all-in interest rate for borrowings under the term-loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 was 6.04% as of March 30, 2019, and was 5.84% at December 29, 2018.

We also pay quarterly fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to 50 basis points per annum as well as a quarterly letter of credit fee at 575 basis points per annum plus a 12.5 basis point facing fee per annum on the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit. As of March 30, 2019, there were $1.1 million in letters of credit outstanding and $38.9 million available under the revolver.

The 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 contains a springing financial covenant that would apply if we draw in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the revolving facility commitment (excluding $7.5 million of undrawn letters of credit and letters of credit and draws thereunder that are cash collateralized at 105% of the stated amount thereof from such availability test). To the extent in effect, the springing financial covenant would prohibit us from exceeding a maximum first lien net leverage ratio (based on the ratio of total first lien (less unrestricted cash) debt to EBITDA) as of the last day of each applicable fiscal quarter. To the extent the springing financial covenant is in effect, the first lien net leverage ratio cannot exceed 4.25:1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending on March 30, 2019 and 4.00:1.00 on the last date of each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. We were not required to test our first lien net leverage ratio for the quarter ending March 30, 2019 because we did not exceed 20% of our revolving capacity.

The 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 also contains a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of additional debt, liens on property, acquisitions and investments, loans and guarantees, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, asset sales, dividends and other payments in respect of our capital stock, entry into restrictive agreements, prepayments of certain debt and transactions with affiliates, in each case, subject to exceptions and qualifications. The 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 also contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the amounts outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 may be accelerated and may become immediately due and payable.

On September 18, 2018, we completed an underwritten, public offering of 7,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a public offering price of $23.00 per share (the “2018 Equity Issuance”). The offering resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $161.0 million. Net of an underwriting fee of $1.15 per share, net cash proceeds to the Company approximated $153.0 million. Contemporaneously with the 2018 Equity Issuance, we prepaid $152.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the term loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022. On December 19, 2018, we voluntarily prepaid an additional $8.0 million in borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022. As of March 30, 2019, the principal amount of debt outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 was $64.0 million, and accrued interest was $0.2 million.

Deferred Financing Costs

The activity relating to third-party fees and costs, lender fees and discount for the nine months ended March 30, 2019, are as follows. All debt-related fees, costs and original issue discount are classified as a reduction of the carrying value of long-term debt:

As a result of prepayments of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 totaling $204.0 million since its inception in February 2016, we have no future scheduled repayments until the maturity of the facility on February 21, 2022. The contractual future maturities of long-term debt outstanding, including the financing arrangement described as other debt, as of March 30, 2019, are as follows (at face value):

Other Debt

In July 2017, we entered into a two-year financing arrangement for the purchase of an enterprise-wide software license relating to office productivity software. This financing arrangement requires 24 monthly payments of $26 thousand each. We estimated the value of this financing arrangement to be $590 thousand, using an imputed annual interest rate of 6.00%, which approximated our then borrowing rate under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, a Level 3 input. At March 30, 2019, there was $87 thousand outstanding under this financing arrangement.

NOTE 10. LEASES

We lease certain of our manufacturing facilities under operating leases. We also lease production equipment, vehicles, computer equipment, storage units and office equipment under operating leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 9 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. All of our leases are operating leases.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

As of March 30, 2019, we had no additional operating or finance leases that have not yet commenced. Our operating leases expire at various times through 2027. Lease expense prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 would have been $2.1 million for the three months ended March 30, 2019 and was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and was $6.4 million for the year ended December 29, 2018.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

Our Company is a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of those proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of any claim that is pending or threatened, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

Our income tax expense was $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared with $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2018. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2019, was 21.7%, and was 18.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Income tax expense in the three months ended March 30, 2019, and March 31, 2018, includes excess tax benefits relating to exercises of stock options and lapses of restrictions on stock awards, treated as a discrete item of income tax, totaling $422 thousand and $613 thousand, respectively. Excluding this discrete item, the effective tax rates for the three months ended March 30, 2019, and March 31, 2018, would have been 25.7% and 25.2%, respectively.

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted effective on December 22, 2017, our Federal corporate income tax rate has been reduced from 35%, to 21%. This reduction in rate has lowered our overall effective tax rate. Additionally, the section 199 domestic manufacturing deduction was repealed. As such, our effective tax rate, excluding the discrete items discussed above, approximates our current combined statutory federal and state rate of 25.6%.

During the three months ended March 30, 2019, we did not make any payments of estimated federal or state income taxes, nor did we receive any refunds of federal or state income taxes. The Internal Revenue Service provided tax relief relating to taxpayers in certain designated areas of Florida impacted by Hurricane Irma, which included all counties in Florida in which we operate. As a result, the deadline for remitting our required 2017 third quarter estimated payment for corporate income taxes, as well as the deadline for filing our 2016 fiscal year corporate income tax return, was extended to January 31, 2018. Therefore, in January 2018, we made an estimated Federal income tax payment totaling $9.0 million relating to the 2017 tax year.

NOTE 13. FAIR VALUE

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. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The accounting guidance concerning fair value allows us to elect to measure financial instruments at fair value and report the changes in fair value through earnings. This election can only be made at certain specified dates and is irrevocable once made. We do not have a policy regarding specific assets or liabilities to elect to measure at fair value, but rather we make the election on an instrument-by-instrument basis as they are acquired or incurred.

During the three months ended March 30, 2019, or March 31, 2018, we did not make any transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 financial assets. We conduct reviews on a quarterly basis to verify pricing, assess liquidity, and determine if significant inputs have changed that would impact the fair value hierarchy disclosure.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other debt, whose carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Our financial instruments also include borrowings under our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, as well as the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026, both classified as long-term debt. The fair value of borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 is based on debt with similar terms and characteristics and was approximately $63.8 million as of March 30, 2019, compared to a principal outstanding value of $64.0 million, and fair value of $63.2 million as of December 29, 2018, compared to a principal outstanding value of $64.0 million. The fair value of the recently issued 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 is also based on debt with similar terms and characteristics and was approximately $328.4 million as of March 30, 2019, compared to a principal outstanding value of $315.0 million, and the fair value was approximately $311.9 million as of December 29, 2018, compared to a principal outstanding value of $315.0 million. Fair values were determined based on observed trading prices of our debt between domestic financial institutions.

NOTE 14. DERIVATIVES

Aluminum Contracts

We enter into aluminum forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusion we use in production. Our contracts are designated as cash flow hedges since they are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to forecasted purchases of aluminum.

Guidance under the Financial Instruments Topic 825 of the Codification requires us to record our hedge contracts at fair value and consider our credit risk for contracts in a liability position, and our counter-party’s credit risk for contracts in an asset position, in determining fair value. We assess our counter-party’s risk of non-performance when measuring the fair value of financial instruments in an asset position by evaluating their financial position, including cash on hand, as well as their credit ratings. We assess our risk of non-performance when measuring the fair value of our financial instruments in a liability position by evaluating our credit ratings, our current liquidity including cash on hand and availability under our revolving credit facility as compared to the maturities of the financial liabilities.

At March 30, 2019, the fair value of our aluminum forward contracts was in a net liability position of $2.6 million. We had 34 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 28.6 million pounds of aluminum through December 2019, at an average price of $0.96 per pound, which excludes the Midwest premium, with maturity dates of between one month and nine months. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the Company to these contracts and determined it was insignificant and, therefore, did not record any adjustment to fair value as of March 30, 2019.

We assess the effectiveness of our aluminum forward contracts by comparing the change in the fair value of the forward contract to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our aluminum forward contracts is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. The amount of losses, net, recognized in the “accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance

sheet as of March 30, 2019, that we expect will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months, is approximately $2.6 million.

NOTE 16. SEGMENTS

We have two reportable segments: the Southeast segment, and the Western segment. The Southeast reporting segment, which is also an operating segment, is composed of our sales in Florida, the core market of our Legacy business, as well as Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and the Caribbean. The Western reporting segment, also an operating segment, is composed of sales in the rest of the United States, along with Canada and Mexico. The operations of the Western reporting segment are composed primarily of the results of WWS and the results of the legacy operations of the Company in the west, which were immaterial in the three months ended March 31, 2018. While both of our operating segments have products, distribution methods and customers of a similar nature, we determined to not aggregate them due to the differences in their geographic markets. Therefore, our operating segments are also our reportable segments.

Centralized financial and operational oversight, including resource allocation and assessment of performance on an income (loss) from operations basis, is performed by our CEO, whom we have determined to be our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), with oversight by the Board of Directors. Total asset information by segment is not included herein as asset information by segment is not presented to or reviewed by the CODM.

The following table represents summary financial data attributable to our operating segments for the three months ended March 30, 2019. Prior periods are not presented as the results of the Western segment are composed substantially of the results of WWS, which was acquired on August 13, 2018 (in thousands):

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Sales and Operations

We reported another quarter of solid financial results, reflecting inclusion of the results of our WWS acquisition, and growth in our new construction channel. For the first quarter of 2019, we delivered sales of $173.7 million, which was a 24% increase over the first quarter of 2018. Net sales of our Southeast segment were $139.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. Net sales of our Western segment were $33.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, primarily composed of sales of our indoor/outdoor living products relating to the August 2018 acquisition of WWS, and sales of our legacy business into the west which are now classified as part of our Western business unit.

With the acquisition of Western Windows Systems, we believe we have positioned PGT Innovations as a national leader in the premium window and door space. The addition of Western Window Systems’ complementary footprint supports our strategic vision of expanding outside of Florida with niche products that allow us to maintain and strengthen our margin profile and helped us achieve more geographic and product diversity. Western Window Systems shares our commitment to developing innovative products and our continuous improvement culture that we believe drives operational excellence and profitability.

Our increased gross profit contributed to our solid operating performance in the first quarter of 2019 due to our increased ability to leverage fixed costs, which resulted in improved margins, as compared to last year’s first quarter. We used this leverage combined with manufacturing and operating efficiencies to deliver a 3.4 percentage-point increase in gross margin in this year’s first quarter compared to last year, from 31.9% in the first quarter of 2018, to 35.3% in the first quarter of 2019.

For the first quarter of 2019, we delivered a 17% increase in income before taxes, and net income per diluted share of $0.14, which was flat compared to last year’s first quarter net income per diluted share, despite a higher level of weighted-average outstanding shares as a result of our issuance of an additional 7,000,000 shares of our Company’s common stock (the Equity Issuance) in September 2018. We are pleased with these metrics for the first quarter, which we believe confirms our ability to profitably leverage our growth. Despite the slight decline in the repair and remodel market overlapping significant growth in the prior year period, we were able to deliver solid results in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the prior year period.

Looking to the balance of 2019, we continue to expect to finish 2019 with consolidated sales in a range of $775 million to $800 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 30, 2019 AND MARCH 31, 2018

Net sales

	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2019		March 31, 2018
Total net sales	$	173.7	$	140.3

Net sales for the first quarter of 2019 were $173.7 million, a $33.5 million, or 23.9%, increase in sales, from $140.3 million in the first quarter of the prior year. Net sales of our Southeast segment were $139.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. Net sales of our Western segment were $33.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, primarily composed of our indoor/outdoor living products from our August 2018 acquisition of WWS, which had sales of $32.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, and sales of our legacy business into the west, which were not significant in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit was $61.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $16.5 million, or 36.8%, from $44.8 million in the first quarter of 2018. The gross margin percentage was 35.3% in the first quarter of 2019, compared to 31.9% in the prior year first quarter, an increase of 3.4%. Gross margin improved in the first quarter of 2019 due primarily to the addition of WWS, which benefitted gross margin by 3.2%. The remaining increase was due to benefits from price increases and operating efficiencies in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period last year, which were partially offset by the unfavorable effects of a change in the mix of sales, as well as material cost increases in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2019, which taken together resulted in a net benefit to gross margin of 0.2%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $44.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $15.3 million, from $28.7 million in the first quarter of 2018. SG&A in the first quarter of 2019 was 25.3% of net sales, compared to the first quarter of 2018 of 20.4% of net sales. The increase in SG&A is primarily the result of the inclusion of the SG&A expenses of WWS in the first quarter of 2019 as a result of the acquisition, which totaled $13.0 million, including $2.4 million in amortization of the amortizable intangible asset acquired in the acquisition. This represents approximately 38% of the total sales contribution of the Western segment of $33.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, which includes the sales of WWS.

This increase in SG&A spending is consistent with the higher level of sales, including higher distribution costs, and also includes higher personnel-related costs of approximately $0.6 million, as well as an increase in stock-based compensation expenses of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter of last year. SG&A in the first quarter of 2019 also includes $0.7 million in additional costs relating to our WWS acquisition.

We record warranty costs as a selling expense within selling, general and administrative expenses. During the three months ended March 30, 2019, we recorded warranty expense at a rate of 1.6% of sales, which decreased when compared to the rate in the first quarter of 2018 of 1.7% of sales. We believe the trend of decreasing warranty expense as a percentage of sales is the result of our workforce becoming more seasoned through experience and training, as well as a change in our warranty profile on PGT-branded door glass components due to those components now being produced by one of our primary suppliers, who provides the warranty coverage.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $2.7 million, or 66.1%, from $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in interest expense is due primarily to the issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026, composed of $315.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% unsecured senior notes due 2026. The 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 carry a higher per-annum interest rate and have a higher principal amount outstanding than borrowings under the term loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022. This increase in interest expense was partially offset by the effect of the prepayment of $152.0 million in borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 from the proceeds of the Equity Issuance in September 2018.

Debt extinguishment costs

Debt extinguishment costs were $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. These costs related to the write-off of deferred financing costs and debt discount in connection with second amendment of the 2016 Credit Agreement effective on March 16, 2018, which resulted in certain existing lenders reducing their positions in or exiting the facility. This resulted in the write-offs of portions of the deferred financing costs and original issue discount allocated to these lenders.

Income from operations

Income from operations was $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of $1.2 million, from $16.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. Income from operations in the first quarter of 2019 includes $14.8 million from our Southeast segment and $2.4

million from our Western segment, both after allocation of corporate operating costs. The increase in income from operations in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 is a result of the higher level of gross profit in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of last year, partially offset by higher SG&A, including higher amortization.

Income tax expense

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated by operations and supplemented by borrowings under our credit facilities. We expect that this cash generating capability will provide us with financial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs. Our primary capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, meet required debt service payments on our credit facilities and fund capital expenditures.

Consolidated Cash Flows

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of 2019 was $0.9 million, compared to cash provided of $8.9 million in the first three months of 2018. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 2019, as compared to the first three months of 2018, of $8.0 million, was due to the factors set forth in the table below.

Direct cash flows from operations for the first three months of 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

	Direct Operating Cash Flows
	Three Months Ended
	March 30,			March 31,
(in millions)	2019			2018
Collections from customers	$	174.6		$	136.3
Other collections of cash		2.3			1.6
Disbursements to vendors		(112.2	)		(86.7	)
Personnel related disbursements		(52.6	)		(39.1	)
Income taxes paid, net		-			(9.0	)
Debt service payments		(11.3	)		(4.3	)
Cash received from Cardinal under the SA		-			10.0
Other cash activity, net		0.1			0.1

Cash from operations	$	0.9		$	8.9

Days sales outstanding (DSO), which we calculate as accounts receivable divided by quarterly average daily sales, was 42 days at March 30, 2019, compared to 39 days at March 31, 2018.

Inventory on hand as of March 30, 2019, was $48.0 million, compared to $44.7 million at December 29, 2018, an increase of $3.3 million. Inventory on hand as of March 30, 2019 includes $16.0 million of inventory relating to WWS.

We monitor and evaluate raw material inventory levels based on the need for each discrete item to fulfill short-term requirements calculated from current order patterns and to provide appropriate safety stock. Because a significant portion of our products are made-to-order, we have only a small amount of work-in-process inventory. As a result of these factors, our inventories are not excessive, and we believe the value of such inventories will be realized through sales.

Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $8.3 million for the first three months of 2019, compared to cash used in investing activities of $6.6 million for the first three months of 2018. There was an increase in cash used in investing activities due to an increase in capital expenditures of $1.7 million, which went from $6.6 million in the first three months of 2018, to $8.3 million in the first three months of 2019. Proceeds from disposals of assets in the first three months of 2019 and 2018 were less than $0.1 million.

Financing activities. Cash used by financing activities was $0.4 million in the first three months of 2019, compared to cash used in financing activities of $2.2 million in the first three months of 2018, a decrease in cash used of $1.8 million. We made repayments of long-term debt of $0.1 million in the first three months of 2019, compared to $0.1 million in the first three months of 2018.

There were payments of financing costs totaling $1.7 million in the first three months of 2018, related to the Second Amendment. Taxes paid relating to common stock withheld from employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards were $0.5 million in the first three months of 2019, versus $0.6 million in the first three months of 2018, a decrease in cash used of $0.1 million. Proceeds from the exercises of stock options were $0.2 million in the first three months of 2019, compared to $0.2 million in the first three months of 2018.

Capital Resources and Debt Covenant.

2018 Equity Issuance

On September 18, 2018, we completed an underwritten, public offering of 7,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a public offering price of $23.00 per share. Pursuant to the offering, we granted the underwriters an option for a 30-day period to purchase up to an additional 1,050,000 shares of common stock. The 30-day option period expired with no additional shares issued.

The offering resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $161.0 million. Net of an underwriting fee of $1.15 per share, net cash proceeds to the Company approximated $153.0 million. We used $152.0 million of these proceeds to prepay borrowings outstanding under the term loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement. The remainder of the proceeds were used for working capital or general corporate purposes, including payment of offering expenses of approximately $0.4 million, classified as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

2018 Senior Notes due 2026

On August 10, 2018, we completed the issuance of $315.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes (“2018 Senior Notes Due 2026”), issued at 100% of their principal amount. The 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future restricted subsidiaries, other than any restricted subsidiary of the Company that does not guarantee the existing senior secured credit facilities or any permitted refinancing thereof. The 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and the guarantors, respectively, and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt and senior to all existing and future subordinated debt of the Company and the guarantors. The 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 were offered under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, and in transactions outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act, and have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act.

The 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 mature on August 10, 2026. Interest on the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 is payable semi-annually, in arrears, beginning on February 16, 2019, with interest accruing at a rate of 6.75% per annum from August 10, 2018. We incurred financing costs relating to bank fees and professional services costs relating to the offering and issuance of the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 totaling $10.4 million, which is being amortized under the effective interest method. See “Deferred Financing Costs” below. As of December 29, 2018, the face value of debt outstanding under the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 was $315.0 million, and accrued interest totaled $3.6 million.

2016 Credit Agreement due 2022

On February 16, 2016, we entered into the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, among us, the lending institutions identified in the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, and SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 establishes new senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $310.0 million, consisting of a $270.0 million Term B term loan facility maturing in February 2022 that amortizes on a basis of 1% annually during its six-year term, and a $40.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in February 2021 that includes a swing line facility and a letter of credit facility. Our obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 are subject to exceptions, guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries that are restricted subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets as well as our direct and indirect restricted subsidiaries’ assets.

On March 16, 2018, we entered into the Second Amendment, which, among other things, decreases the applicable interest rate margins for the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022) from (i) 3.75% to 2.50%, in the case of the Base Rate Loans (as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022), and (ii) 4.75% to 3.50%, in the case of the Eurodollar Loans (as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022). On February 17, 2017, we entered into the first amendment to our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, which also resulted in decreases in the applicable margins, but which, unlike the Second Amendment, did not include any changes in lender positions.

Regarding the first amendment to the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, as described above, as there were no changes in lender positions, this action did not result in any modifications or extinguishments of debt. Therefore, there was no charge for debt extinguishment costs in 2017.

We also pay quarterly fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to 50 basis points per annum as well as a quarterly letter of credit fee at 575 basis points per annum plus a 12.5 basis point facing fee per annum on the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit. As of March 30, 2019, there were $1.1 million of letters of credit outstanding and $38.9 million available under the revolver.

On September 18, 2018, contemporaneously with the 2018 Equity Issuance, we prepaid $152.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the term loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022. On December 19, 2018, we voluntarily prepaid an additional $8.0 million in borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022. As of March 30, 2019, the principal amount of debt outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 was $64.0 million, and accrued interest was $0.2 million.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures vary depending on prevailing business factors, including current and anticipated market conditions. For the first three months of 2019, capital expenditures were $8.3 million, compared to $6.6 million for the first three months of 2018. In 2019, including the capital expenditures of WWS, we expect to spend approximately $32 to $38 million on capital expenditures. Our capital expenditure program is geared towards making investments in capital assets targeted at increasing both gross sales and margins, but also includes capital expenditures for maintenance capital.

Aluminum Forward Contracts. We enter into aluminum forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusions we use in production. At March 30, 2019, the fair value of our aluminum forward contracts was in a net liability position of $2.6 million. We had 34 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 28.6 million pounds of aluminum through December 2019, at an average price of $0.96 per pound, which excludes the Midwest premium, with maturity dates of between one month and nine months. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the Company to these contracts and determined it was insignificant and, therefore, did not record any adjustment to fair value as of March 30, 2019.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to the “Disclosures of Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments” table in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Significant accounting policies are those that are both important to the accurate portrayal of a Company’s financial condition and results, and those that require subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain estimates are particularly sensitive due to their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements and the possibility that future events may be significantly different from our expectations.

We identified our significant accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018. Except for the adoption of the guidance relating to leases pursuant to ASU 2016-02, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the first three months of 2019.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting these new standards updates will have on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge price movements in aluminum materials used in our manufacturing process. As of March 30, 2019, we are covered for approximately 75% of our anticipated needs through December 2019 at an average price of $0.96 per pound.

Regarding our aluminum hedging instruments for the purchase of aluminum as of March 30, 2019, a 10% decrease in the price of aluminum per pound would decrease the fair value of our forward contracts of aluminum by an estimated $2.5 million. This calculation utilizes our actual commitment of 28.6 million pounds under contract (to be settled throughout December 2019) and the market price of aluminum as of March 30, 2019. This calculation is based only on the LME price of aluminum and excludes an estimate for the Midwest premium.

We experience changes in interest expense when market interest rates change. Changes in our debt could also increase these risks. Based on debt outstanding with a variable rate as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, of $64.0 million, a 100 basis-point increase in interest rate would result in approximately $0.6 million of additional interest costs annually.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

A control system, however, no matter how well conceived and operated, can at best provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Additionally, a control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected, and due to these inherent limitations, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the assistance of management, evaluated the design, operation and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report (“Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purposes of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented internal controls to ensure we properly assessed the impact of the new accounting standards related to leases on our financial statements to facilitate its adoption on December 30, 2018 (the first day of our 2019 fiscal year, and the effective date of our adoption of ASU 2016-02). There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of this new standard.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to the conduct of our business in the ordinary course. We carry insurance coverage in such amounts in excess of our self-insured retention as we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and that may or may not cover any or all of our liabilities with respect to claims and lawsuits. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of the matters pending or threatened against us at this time will have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Although our business and facilities are subject to federal, state, and local environmental regulation, environmental regulation does not have a material impact on our operations. We believe that our facilities are in material compliance with such laws and regulations. As owners and lessees of real property, we can be held liable for the investigation or remediation of contamination on such properties, in some circumstances without regard to whether we knew of or were responsible for such contamination. Our current expenditures with respect to environmental investigation and remediation at our facilities are minimal, although no assurance can be provided that more significant remediation may not be required in the future as a result of spills or releases of petroleum products or hazardous substances, or the discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our operations are subject to a number of risks. When considering an investment in our securities, you should carefully read and consider these risks, together with all other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors set forth in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018. If any of the events described in the risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results, as well as the market price of our securities, could be materially adversely affected.
