PGT INNOVATIONS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

About PGT Innovations, Inc.

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., WWS Acquisition LLC (formerly known as GEF WW Parent LLC) (“WWS”), and with their acquisition by PGT Innovations, Inc. effective on February 1, 2020, NewSouth Window Solutions LLC, and NewSouth Window Solutions of Orlando LLC (“NewSouth”) (collectively, the “Company”), after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

PGT Innovations, Inc. (“PGTI,” “we,” or the “Company”), formerly named PGT, Inc., manufactures and supplies premium windows and doors. Our highly-engineered products can withstand some of the toughest weather conditions on earth and unify indoor/outdoor living spaces. We are also the nation’s largest manufacturer of impact-resistant windows and doors. Our family of brands include CGI®, PGT® Custom Windows & Doors, WinDoor®, Western Window Systems®, CGI Commercial®, Eze-Breeze® and NewSouth Window Solutions®. Our products other than NewSouth products are sold through an authorized dealer and distributor network. Our NewSouth products are sold directly to the end-user consumer through store-front locations throughout Florida, and through direct-to-homeowner door-to-door sales. We are also opening NewSouth store-front locations in other states as part of our strategy of expanding NewSouth’s geographic presence, including new locations opened in 2020 in Charleston, South Carolina, Pensacola, Florida, and Houston, Texas.

The majority of our sales are to customers in the state of Florida, which further increased with our acquisition of NewSouth, but we sell products to customers in many states, including the western United States through WWS. We also have sales in the Caribbean, Canada, and in South and Central America. See Note 6 for a discussion of the acquisition of NewSouth.

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”. Subsequent to our Florida facilities consolidation, executed during the second quarter of 2020, which included our exit from our Orlando, Florida manufacturing facility, we have four manufacturing operations in Florida, and one in Arizona. Our manufacturing facilities in Florida include one in North Venice, two in the greater Miami area, and one in Tampa with the acquisition of NewSouth. Pursuant to our Florida facilities consolidation, we relocated the manufacturing operations formerly in Orlando to our North Venice and Tampa facilities. Our Arizona operations are in Phoenix. Additionally, we have two glass tempering and laminating plants and one insulation glass plant, all located in North Venice. See Note 17 for a discussion of restructuring costs and charges relating to the Florida facility consolidation.

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

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 (“COVID-19 pandemic”, or “Pandemic”), which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world. The full impact from the rapidly changing U.S. and global market and economic conditions due to the Pandemic is uncertain, but we have seen disruptions to the businesses of certain of our customers and suppliers due to the Pandemic, which in turn have impacted, and are likely to continue to impact in the future, our business and consolidated results of operations and financial condition. While we have not incurred significant disruptions to our manufacturing or supply chain thus far from the Pandemic, we are unable to accurately predict the impact the Pandemic and the challenges it has created for the U.S. and global economies, will have on our financial performance and operations going forward due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to attempt to control the Pandemic, the impact to our customers’ and suppliers’ businesses and other factors identified in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of the Pandemic to our business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition.

Basis of Presentation

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 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the current year or for any future periods. The Company’s fiscal third quarter in 2020 ended October 3, 2020, and our fiscal third quarter in 2019 ended September 28, 2019, both consisted of 13 weeks. The Company’s fiscal first nine months in 2020 ended October 3, 2020 consisted of 40 weeks, whereas our fiscal first nine months in 2019 ended September 28, 2019, consisted of 39 weeks.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2019, 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 28, 2019, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2019, included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.

As described above, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting measures that may be taken by the Company and/or its customers or suppliers and/or by governmental entities will impact the Company's business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be precisely predicted at this time. Management's estimates and assumptions are highly dependent on estimates of future developments and may change significantly in the future due to unforeseen direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 sales from our facilities in Florida. The Western reporting segment, also an operating segment, is composed of sales from our facility in Arizona. Beginning in 2020, sales into certain states have been reclassified between segments. As such, segment sales amounts for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, along with the related income from operations, have been revised to conform to the 2020 presentation. See Note 16 for segment disclosures.

Recently Adopted 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 were 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. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2020, and it did not have any impact on our 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 were effective for us for our 2020 fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.


- 9 -


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, and may include anticipated unfavorable impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the businesses of our customers, such as dealers and distributors. Uncollectible accounts are written off after repeated attempts to collect from the customer have been unsuccessful. As of October 3, 2020, and December 28, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The transition to new reference interest rates will require certain contracts to be modified and ASU 2020-04 is intended to mitigate the effects of this transition. This new guidance was effective upon issuance of this ASU for contract modifications and hedging relationships on a prospective basis. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also clarifies and amends existing guidance. This standard is effective beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2.  REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy

The Company primarily manufactures fully customized windows and doors 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. 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 on behalf of its customers. Due to the customized build-to-order nature of these products, the Company’s assessment is that the substantial portion 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 a 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. Except for the Western segment’s volume products, discussed in the section titled Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers below, revenue recognized at a point in time is immaterial.

The Company’s Western segment includes both custom and volume products. This segment’s volume products are not made-to-order and are of standardized sizes and design specifications. Therefore, the Company’s assessment is that the Western segment’s volume products have alternative uses, and that control of these products passes to the customer at a point in time, which is typically when the product has been delivered to the customer. For the three months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, the Western segment’s net sales of its volume products were $12.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, the Western segment’s net sales of its volume products were $39.0 million and $40.6 million, respectively.

 

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 October 3, 2020, and December 28, 2019, those contract liabilities totaled $19.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively, of which $18.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively, are classified within accrued liabilities, and $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, are classified within contract assets, net, of  $24.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 28, 2019 were satisfied in the first quarter of 2020, and contract assets at December 28, 2019 were transferred to accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2020. Contract liabilities at October 3, 2020 represents cash received during the three-month period ended October 3, 2020, excluding amounts recognized as revenue during that period. Contract assets at October 3, 2020 represents revenue recognized during the three-month period ended October 3, 2020, excluding amounts transferred to accounts receivable during that period.


- 11 -


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 together with our standard terms and conditions. Our custom product contracts include distinct goods that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time, and therefore represent a series of distinct goods accounted for as a single performance obligation. For volume products, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling price of each distinct good. Observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. Certain customers are eligible for rebates based on their volume or purchases during an annual period. Rebates are recorded as a reduction to sales and were immaterial in all periods presented.

Performance obligations are satisfied over time, generally for our custom products, and as of a point in time for our volume products. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, and we have elected not to disclose our unsatisfied performance obligations as of October 3, 2020 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.

On February 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of NewSouth. NewSouth’s contracts with customers include the manufacturing of goods and installation services related to those goods. Both the manufacturing of goods and installation services represent distinct and separate performance obligations of the Company. As the goods are custom in nature, and NewSouth has the right to full payment upon starting production, the performance obligations are satisfied over time, as opposed to a point in time. The contract transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on an estimate of stand-alone selling price. Because installation is performed shortly after completion of production, revenue on the total contract is recognized over a relatively short period of time.

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. Sales taxes collected from customers are recorded on a net basis.

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 October 3, 2020, we recorded warranty expense at a rate of approximately 1.7% of sales, which was on par with the rate in the three months ended September 28, 2019 of 1.8% of sales. During the nine months ended October 3, 2020, we recorded warranty expense at a rate of approximately 1.7% of sales, which was also on par with the rate in the nine months ended September 28, 2019 of 1.7% of sales.


- 12 -


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 and nine months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019. The change in the warranty reserve for the nine months ended October 3, 2020 includes $2.5 million relating to the acquisition of NewSouth, including an adjustment of $0.9 million in the three months ended October 3, 2020. See note 6 for additional information. 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. Of the accrued warranty reserve of $7.7 million at October 3, 2020, $6.2 million is classified within accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at October 3, 2020, with the remainder classified within other liabilities.

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 work-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 October 3, 2020, there were no option exercises. For the nine months ended October 3, 2020, there were 274,353 options exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $2.00 per share.

Issuance

On February 14, 2020, we granted 305,030 restricted stock awards to certain executives and non-executive employees of the Company under the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The restrictions on these stock awards lapse over time based solely on continued service with respect to one-half of the granted shares and based on the achievement of a performance metric and the lapse of time, with respect to the other half. Specifically, the quantity of restricted shares issued upon vesting on half of these shares, or 152,515 shares, is fixed, whereas the quantity issued upon vesting on the remaining half, or 152,515 shares, is subject to Company-specific performance criteria. The restricted stock awards have a fair value on date of grant of $16.56 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.

With respect to the one-half of the granted restricted shares that must be earned through the satisfaction of performance criteria, 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 2020 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.


- 13 -


None of the restricted stock awards granted under last year’s 2019 LTIP that must be earned through the achievement of the performance criteria were earned, because the Company did not achieve at least 80% of the target level of our 2019 LTIP performance metric, resulting in 0% of the target number of performance shares being earned.

On May 21, 2020, we granted a total of 42,360 restricted stock awards to the eight non-management members of the board of directors of the Company relating to their annual compensation for service on the board. The restricted stock awards have a fair value on date of grant of $13.41 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. The restrictions on these stock awards lapse based solely on continued service on the first anniversary date of the grant.

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 $1.5 million for the three months ended October 3, 2020, and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 28, 2019. We recorded compensation expense for stock-based awards of $4.4 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2019. As of October 3, 2020, there was $7.8 million in total unrecognized compensation cost related entirely 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 1.7 years at October 3, 2020.

 

Of the $1.5 million and $1.0 million in stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively, $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, are classified within selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the remainders classified within cost of sales. Of the $4.4 million and $3.2 million in stock-based compensation expense in the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively, $3.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, are classified within selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the remainders classified within cost of sales.

NOTE 6.  ACQUISITION

NEWSOUTH WINDOW SOLUTIONS

On February 1, 2020 (the “closing date”), we completed the acquisition of NewSouth Window Solutions LLC and NewSouth Window Solutions of Orlando LLC (together, “NewSouth”, and the “NewSouth Acquisition”), which became wholly-owned subsidiaries of PGT Innovations, Inc. The fair value of consideration transferred in the acquisition was $90.4 million. The acquisition was financed with proceeds of $53.2 million from the add-on issuance of $50.0 million in 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 (“Add-On Senior Notes”), including a premium of $3.2 million, and with $37.2 million in cash, including a post-closing adjustment owed to sellers of $0.2 million, which was paid during the third quarter of 2020, described below. See Note 9 for a discussion of the Add-On Senior Notes.

The fair value of certain working capital related items, including NewSouth’s retail accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximated their book values at the date of the NewSouth Acquisition. Subsequent to our initial allocation, we adjusted the fair value of certain acquired commercial receivable accounts based on a further post-acquisition assessment of their collectability. 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, with the assistance of a third-party valuations firm.

We incurred acquisition costs totaling $2.4 million relating to legal expenses, representations and warranties insurance, diligence, accounting and printing services in the NewSouth Acquisition, which includes $0.9 million in the nine months ended October 3, 2020, classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2020. We began incurring these costs in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The remaining consideration, after identified intangible assets and the net assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, has been determined to be $50.8 million, all of which we expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents the increased value of the combined entity through new direct-to-consumer sales channel opportunities, as well as NewSouth’s extensive advertising throughout Florida, and NewSouth’s market intelligence, which we expect to utilize. During the three months ended October 3, 2020, we made additional adjustments to accrued liabilities assumed in the acquisition totaling $0.9 million, relating to certain commercial contracts that existed at the acquisition date, which required additional warranty-related rework to complete and which we did not become aware of until the 2020 third quarter. We continue to assess the full extent of additional warranty-related rework required for other commercial contracts that existed at the acquisition date. As such, the calculation of the warranty reserve relating to our acquisition of NewSouth is not finalized. Other adjustments to our initial allocation recorded prior to our third quarter of 2020 primarily relate to the commercial assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the NewSouth acquisition. The adjustments included a $1.6 million decrease in acquired commercial accounts receivable, which we determined were uncollectible, a $1.3 million decrease in acquired intangible assets relating to the commercial trade name, which we have determined had no fair value at the acquisition date, $0.7 million relating to certain commercial inventories, which we determined were obsolete at the acquisition date, and an immaterial increase in liabilities assumed of $0.1 million. The net increase in goodwill relating to these adjustments since the initial allocation was $4.6 million.

The purchase agreement relating to the NewSouth Acquisition (“PA”) requires certain post-closing adjustments, under which we determined that we owe sellers an additional $0.2 million. The calculation resulted in a net increase in purchase price of $0.2 million. We paid this amount during the third quarter ended October 3, 2020.

 

Pro Forma Financial Information

 

The following unaudited pro forma financial information assumes the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented that does not include NewSouth’s actual results for the entire period. Pro forma results have been prepared by adjusting our historical results to include the results of NewSouth adjusted for the following: amortization expense related to the intangible assets arising from the acquisition and interest expense to reflect the Additional Senior Notes. The unaudited pro forma results below do not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the earliest periods presented, nor does it indicate the results of operations in future periods. The unaudited pro forma results do not include the impact of synergies, nor any potential impacts on current or future market conditions which could alter the following unaudited pro forma results.

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 no anti-dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended October 3, 2020, and 86 thousand for the three months ended September 28, 2019. There were 4 thousand anti-dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and 90 thousand for the nine months ended September 28, 2019.

Amortization expense relating to amortizable intangible assets for the three months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, was $4.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Amortization expense relating to amortizable intangible assets for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, was $14.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively.

 

We perform our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing on the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter of each year, and at interim periods if needed based on occurrence of triggering events. Given the general deterioration in economic and market conditions associate with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the narrow excess of fair value over carrying value of our WinDoor and WWS trade names as described in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company determined it should complete interim quantitative impairment tests of its WinDoor and WWS trade names as of as of the end of the Company’s first quarter of 2020. These interim impairment tests did not indicate that impairments of those assets existed at that time.

- 17 -


Following an increase in net sales of 14.0% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of last year, net sales at our WWS reporting unit decreased 19.3% in the second quarter of 2020, compared to the second quarter of last year. As a result of the decrease in net sales during our second quarter of 2020, compared to the second quarter of last year, as well as continued deterioration in macro-economic conditions in our core western markets relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, we determined to complete a second interim impairment test of our WWS trade name as of July 4, 2020. For this second interim impairment test, we further decreased our modeling assumptions for net sales of our WWS reporting unit for our 2020 fiscal year based on a reassessment of our key assumptions in our modeling, including an updated assessment of macro industry growth in our WWS reporting unit’s key markets. We also decreased our 2021 growth rate assumption as we expect the challenging macro-economic conditions in our core western markets to continue during 2021. Based on our revised modeling, we concluded that the fair value of our WWS trade name was less than its carrying value, which resulted in an impairment of our WWS trade name of $8.0 million in our second quarter of 2020.

 

The rate of decrease in sales at our WWS reporting unit slowed during the third quarter of 2020, decreasing just 4.6% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to last year’s third quarter, which was within our modeling assumptions used during our second impairment test of our WWS trade name as of July 4, 2020. As such, we concluded that it was not necessary to update our impairment test as of October 3, 2020.

 

For our WWS reporting unit, our most recent annual impairment test of goodwill was a quantitative assessment. Based on this quantitative assessment, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of our WWS reporting unit exceeded its fair value, as the estimated fair value of our WWS reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value at that time. Because of the decrease in sales at our WWS reporting unit and continued deterioration in macro-economic conditions in our core western markets relating to the COVID-19 pandemic as described above, we determined to update the projections in our most recent quantitative assessment of WWS reporting unit to goodwill using the sales projections in our WWS trade name impairment assessment that is discussed above. Based on this update of the most recent quantitative assessment, the amount by which the estimated fair value of our WWS reporting unit exceeds its carrying value has decreased, but such fair value was still estimated to be approximately 10% more than its carrying value. As such, we have concluded that it continues to be not more likely than not that the carrying value of our WWS reporting unit exceeds its fair value. However, should our WWS reporting unit experience future financial results which are below our most recently updated projections, the amount by which the estimated fair value of our WWS reporting unit exceeds the carrying value would further decrease, which could result in an impairment of the goodwill of our WWS reporting unit.

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.

- 18 -


On January 24, 2020, we completed the add-on issuance of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes (“Additional Senior Notes”), issued at 106.375% of their principal amount, resulting in a premium to us of $3.2 million. The Additional Senior Notes are part of the same issuance of, and rank equally and form a single series with, the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026. Proceeds from the Additional Senior Notes, including premium, were used, together with cash on hand, to pay the $90.4 million purchase price in the NewSouth Acquisition.

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, and the Additional Senior Notes totaling $1.3 million, partially offset by the $3.2 million premium on the Additional Senior Notes, which are being amortized under the effective interest method. See “Deferred Financing Costs” below. As of October 3, 2020, the face value of debt outstanding under the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 was $365.0 million, and accrued interest totaled $4.3 million.

The indenture for the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 gives us the option to 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

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 Truist Financial Corporation (formerly known as 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 originally 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 originally 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 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.

On October 31, 2019, we entered into an amendment of our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 (“Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment provides for, among other things, (i) a three-year Term A loan in the then aggregate principal amount of $64.0 million (the “Initial Term A Loan”), maturing in October 2022, which refinances in full our existing Term B term loan facility under the 2016 Credit Agreement, and has no regularly scheduled amortization, and (ii) a new five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $80.0 million (the “New Revolving Facility”), maturing in October 2024, which replaces our existing $40.0 million revolving credit facility under the 2016 Credit Agreement, and includes a swing-line facility and letter of credit facility. Our obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement continue to be secured by substantially all of our assets, as well as our direct and indirect subsidiaries’ assets.

Pursuant to the Third Amendment, interest on all loans under the 2016 Credit Agreement is payable either quarterly or at the expiration of any LIBOR interest period applicable thereto. The Third Amendment decreases the applicable interest rate margins for the Initial Term Loan A from (i) 2.50% to a spread of 1.00% to 1.75% based on our first lien net leverage ratio, in the case of the Base Rate Loans (with a floor of 100 basis points), and (ii) 3.50% to a spread ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% based on our first lien leverage ratio, in the case of the Eurodollar Loans (with a floor of zero basis points).

- 19 -


Also, in connection with the Third Amendment, we will pay quarterly fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%) based on our first lien net leverage ratio. The Third Amendment also modifies the springing financial covenant under the 2016 Credit Agreement to provide that such financial covenant will not be tested until the Initial Term A Loan is paid in full. As of October 3, 2020, there were $4.0 million in letters of credit outstanding and $76.0 million available under the New Revolving Facility.

Fees and costs relating to the Third Amendment were $0.9 million, which are deferred and being amortized. In connection with the Third Amendment, certain existing lenders modified their positions in or exited the 2016 Credit Agreement. Deferred financing costs and original issue discount allocated to these lenders of $1.5 million were written-off and classified as debt extinguishment costs in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 28, 2019. As of October 3, 2020, after making prepayments of borrowings totaling $10.0 million during the third quarter of 2020, the principal amount of debt outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 was $54.0 million, and accrued interest was $70 thousand.

The weighted average all-in interest rate for borrowings under the term-loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 was 2.17% as of October 3, 2020, and was 3.77% at December 28, 2019.

Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 contains a springing financial covenant that would apply if we draw in excess of thirty-five percent (35%) 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 103% 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 4.00:1.00 (4.50:1.00 during a significant acquisition period as defined). We have not been required to test our first lien net leverage ratio because we have not exceeded 35% 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 $162.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the term loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022.

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. We did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for certain short-term leases that are month-to-month leases. The lease expense relating to these leases is not significant.

The components of lease expense for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, are as follows. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. There was no change to total lease cost. (in thousands):

As of October 3, 2020, we had no additional operating or finance leases that have not yet commenced. Our operating leases expire at various times through 2028. Lease expense prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 would have been $3.3 million for the three months ended October 3, 2020 and was $2.3 million for the three months ended September 28, 2019. Of the $3.3 million for the three months ended October 3, 2020, $1.6 million is classified as cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations, with the remainder classified within selling, general and administrative expenses. Of the $2.3 million for the three months ended September 28, 2019, $1.0 million is classified as cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations, with the remainder classified within selling, general and administrative expenses. Lease expense prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 would have been $9.3 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2020 and was $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2019. Of the $9.3 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, $4.7 million is classified as cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations, with the remainder classified within selling, general and administrative expenses. Of the $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2019, $3.0 million is classified as cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations, with the remainder classified within selling, general and administrative expenses. Lease expense was $8.9 million for the year ended December 28, 2019.

The $17.9 million in operating lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations during the nine months ended October 3, 2020 includes $10.6 million related to the NewSouth Acquisition. See Note 6 for additional information.

NOTE 11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

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.


- 23 -


NOTE 12.  INCOME TAXES

Our income tax expense was $5.7 million for the three months ended October 3, 2020, compared with income tax expense of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 28, 2019. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended October 3, 2020, was an expense rate of 24.7%, and was an expense rate of 20.4% for the three months ended September 28, 2019. Our income tax expense was $9.4 million for the first nine months of 2020, compared with income tax expense of $11.3 million for the first nine months of 2019. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, was an expense rate of 21.0%, and was an expense rate of 21.8% for the nine months ended September 28, 2019.

Income tax expense in the three months ended October 3, 2020 included no discrete items of income tax, and in the nine months ended October 3, 2020 includes several discrete items of income tax benefits, including federal and state research and development tax credit true-ups to actual from the assumptions we made when preparing our 2019 tax provision, which totaled $319 thousand, and a refund from the state of Florida relating to excess taxes received by the state caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was $700 thousand, which benefitted tax expense by $553 thousand, net of its Federal tax effect. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, there were federal and state research and development tax credit true-ups totaling $146 thousand. Excess tax benefits relating to equity awards, treated as a discrete item of income tax, were zero in the three months ended October 3, 2020, and were $665 thousand in the three months ended September 28, 2019. Excess tax benefits were $737 thousand in the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and were $1.7 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2019.

Excluding discrete items of income tax, the effective tax rates for the three months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, would have been income tax expense rates of 24.7% and 24.8%, respectively. Excluding discrete items of income tax, the effective tax rates for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, would have been income tax expense rates of 24.6% and 25.3%, respectively.

Our estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding the discrete items discussed above, approximates our current combined statutory federal and state rate of 25.0%.

In response to the Pandemic, in March 2020, the U.S. Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) legislation aimed at providing relief for individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted by the Pandemic. The CARES Act did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended October 3, 2020, we made payments of estimated Federal and state income taxes totaling $4.0 million. We made no payments of estimated Federal or state income taxes prior to the third quarter of 2020, as the deadlines for such payments to the United States government, and the majority of states in which we have nexus, which followed the payment deadline extension of the CARES Act, had been deferred until July 15, 2020. However, we received a refund from the state of Florida relating to excess taxes received by the state caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, described above, which was $700 thousand, before Federal effect. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, we made payments of estimated Federal and state income taxes totaling $4.3 million and $10.8 million, respectively.

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 or nine months ended October 3, 2020, or September 28, 2019, 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.

- 24 -


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, 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 approximates its carrying value due to its variable-rate nature, and was approximately $54.0 million as of October 3, 2020, compared to a principal outstanding value of $54.0 million, and fair value of $64.0 million as of December 28, 2019, compared to a principal outstanding value of $64.0 million. The fair value of the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 is based on debt with similar terms and characteristics and was approximately $390.1 million as of October 3, 2020, compared to a principal outstanding value of $365.0 million, which includes the Additional Senior Notes, and the fair value was approximately $338.6 million as of December 28, 2019, 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, which we consider to be a Level 2 input.

See Note 14 for a description of the methods and assumptions used in the determination of the fair values of our aluminum forward and Midwest Transaction Premium (“MTP”) contracts, as well as the basis for classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2.

NOTE 14.  DERIVATIVES

Aluminum Contracts and Midwest Transaction Premium

We enter into aluminum forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusion we use in production. Beginning late in the first quarter of 2020, we began entering into forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the price of the delivery component of our aluminum extrusion purchases, known as the Midwest Transaction Premium. 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 and the related MTP.

We record our aluminium hedge contracts at fair value, based on trading values for aluminum forward contracts. Aluminum forward contracts identical to those held by us trade on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”). The LME provides a transparent forum and is the world’s largest center for the trading of futures contracts for non-ferrous metals. The prices are used by the metals industry worldwide as the basis for contracts for the movement of physical material throughout the production cycle. Based on this high degree of volume and liquidity in the LME, we believe the valuation price at any measurement date for contracts with identical terms as to prompt date, trade date and trade price as those we hold at any time represents a contract’s exit price to be used for purposes of determining fair value.

We record our MTP hedge contracts at fair value based on the Platts MW US Transaction price per pound assessment, which has been a benchmark for decades in the North American aluminium industry. Platts surveys the North American market daily to capture trades, bids and offers on a delivered Midwest basis. Data is normalized to reflect the typical price per pound between the largest number of market participants, for delivery within 7 to 30 days from date of publication, net-30-day payment terms, for typical order quantities, chemistries and freight allowances. The survey is extensive and encompasses both domestic and offshore producers, traders and brokers that are varied in scope. Based on the extensive nature of this pricing mechanism, we believe the Platts MW US Transaction price at any time represents a contract’s exit price to be used for purposes of determining fair value.

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 October 3, 2020, the fair value of our aluminum forward contracts was in a net asset position of $0.3 million. We had 28 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 34.6 million pounds of aluminum through December 2021, at an average price of $0.80 per pound, which excludes the Midwest premium, with maturity dates of between one month and fifteen months. At October 3, 2020, the fair value of our MTP contracts was in a net liability position of $30 thousand. We had 14 outstanding MTP contracts to hedge the Platt US MW Transaction price per pound for the delivery of 31.5 million pounds of aluminum through December 2021, at an average price of $0.12 per pound, with maturity dates of between one month and fifteen months. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the Company and our counterparty to these contracts, as applicable, and determined it was immaterial and, therefore, did not record any adjustment to their fair values as of October 3, 2020.

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 income, net, recognized in the “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2020, that we expect will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months, is approximately $0.2 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 sales from our facilities in Florida. The Western reporting segment, also an operating segment, is composed of sales from our facility in Arizona. Beginning in 2020, sales into certain states have been reclassified between segments. As such, segment sales amounts for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, along with the related income from operations, have been revised to conform to the 2020 presentation.

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 and nine months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019. Results of the Western segment are composed of the results of WWS (in thousands):

NOTE 17. RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND CHARGES

As we announced on April 20, 2020, the Company’s management approved a plan to consolidate its manufacturing operations in Florida, which included exiting our manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida, where our WinDoor and Eze-Breeze products were assembled, and relocate the manufacturing of those products to the our Venice and Tampa, Florida plants, respectively. We ceased production at the Orlando facility during June 2020. As a result of this consolidation, we recorded restructuring costs and charges totalling $4.2 million in the nine months ended October 3, 2020.

The following represents activities of restructuring costs and charges for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, which includes an adjustment of $321 thousand incurred and disbursed in the three months ended October 3, 2020 related to additional property, plant and equipment costs:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 28, 2019, included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2020. All amounts herein are unaudited.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Except for historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and plans, which involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expected,” “guidance,” “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “intend,” “could,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “should,” “plan” and similar terminology. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report and which involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Those risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related measures taken by governmental or regulatory authorities to combat the Pandemic, including the impact of the Pandemic and these measures on the economies and demand for our products in the states where we sell them, and on our customers, suppliers, labor force, business, operations and financial performance;

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

During March 2020, a global pandemic (the “Pandemic”) was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). More recently, in July and August 2020, the Pandemic has resulted in a significant number of infections, hospitalizations and deaths in several of our key markets, including Arizona, California, Florida and Texas. The Pandemic has significantly affected economic conditions in those markets, and in the United States in general, and internationally, including due to federal, state and local governments and employers reacting to the public health crisis with mitigation measures, and also due to the general fear and uncertainty created by the Pandemic, all of which has resulted in workforce, supply chain and production disruptions, along with reduced demand and spending in many industries and markets, including in our core markets in Western states, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. Although certain of the government-mandated restrictions on economic and social activities that were put in place as part of the initial response to the Pandemic have been lifted, it is currently unclear the extent to which increased interactions of social, business, occupational and educational natures will adversely affect efforts to reduce the Pandemic’s health and other effects, how widespread additional or renewed restrictions will be implemented, as they have been in California, for example, and/or how long an economic recovery could take. The extent to which the Pandemic could affect our business, operations and financial results will depend upon numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and severity of the length and extent of the economic and market disruptions related to the Pandemic, and the nature, amounts and duration of any additional government stimulus measures designed to bolster the economy.

Our first priority has been and remains the health and safety of our employees, our customers and their families and the communities in which we operate, and as the COVID-19 virus gained a foothold in the Southeast Florida area, we took swift action to protect our employees by temporarily suspending operations at and fumigating our Miami and Hialeah, Florida facilities, each for one-week periods in April 2020. We also took that step at our Western Windows Systems facility in Phoenix, Arizona during July 2020. As of the date of this filing, all of our manufacturing locations are operational and have been deemed essential under various government orders. Each of our facilities has implemented policies and procedures -- with oversight from our senior executives and our COVID-19 Task Force, which is comprised of managers from multiple functional areas and locations -- designed to protect the health and safety of our team members in light of the Pandemic, including: 1) continuing to monitor guidelines from federal, state and local health authorities for personal health and safety, and updating our protocols as needed; 2) enforcing social distancing in common areas, work areas, and production lines where possible; 4) allowing only essential business visitors into our facilities, but only after prescreening and a temperature check; 5) implementing work-at-home programs where possible; 6) allowing only essential business travel; 7) implementing a mandatory face-mask policy for employees at all of our locations, and providing them with those masks where needed; and 8) sourcing supplies such as reusable masks, hand sanitizer and cleaning solutions for use by our employees. Also, we have established an internal COVID-19 Task Force that meets weekly to monitor the Company’s ongoing response to this Pandemic and to communicate with team members and group leaders regarding any essential information relating to the Pandemic.

Due to the then unprecedented uncertainty associated with the Pandemic and its impact on the United States economy, including in our core markets, and on our business, on April 8, 2020, we announced that we were withdrawing our financial performance guidance for 2020. Additionally, due to that same uncertainty, we then took certain actions aimed at preserving cash and maintaining our liquidity, including canceling planned capital expenditures, reducing discretionary spending, closely monitoring and forecasting cash collections and disbursements, and controlling labor-related costs. Given the strong order entry and related increase in sales we began to experience in the second quarter of 2020, and our increased cash position and overall liquidity, we have resumed funding of certain previously delayed capital projects and increased spending on labor-related costs to meet our customers’ requirements. However, we will continue to monitor spending and liquidity, and may reinstate restrictions on spending where we believe it is prudent to do so, whether due to the Pandemic or otherwise.

We ended our third quarter of 2020 with $99.3 million in cash, and $76.0 million in availability under our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022. Given our cash position and overall liquidity, during our third quarter of 2020, we made voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the term loan of the 2016 Credit Agreement, totaling $10.0 million. After these prepayments, borrowings outstanding under the term loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 are $54.0 million. We have no scheduled debt repayment obligations until the maturity of our 2016 Credit Agreement on October 31, 2022.

While we have experienced some delays in receiving certain materials from certain of our suppliers, none of those supply chain disruptions have been significant to-date. However, there can be no assurances that we will not experience significant disruptions to our materials supply chain in future periods during the Pandemic. Our manufacturing, sales and servicing operations have been deemed essential operations under the COVID-19 related government orders issued to-date, and thus, our operations have been permitted to continue at all of our locations. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will continue to be considered essential and exempt from any such emergency or executive orders issued by governmental authorities in response to any future increases in the extent or severity of the Pandemic.

Sales and Operations

During the third quarter of 2020, excluding the sales of our recent NewSouth acquisition, we experienced an increase in sales at our Southeast segment, as increased demand in Florida more than offset any economic effects of the Pandemic. Net sales of our Southeast segment, excluding the sales of NewSouth, were $177 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $162 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $15 million, or 9%. Net sales of our Western segment decreased $2 million, or 5%, to $34 million in the third quarter of 2020, from $36 million in the third quarter of 2019. We believe this decrease was due to the change in the economy as a result of the Pandemic, especially in our core markets of California, Arizona and Nevada, offset by strengthening demand driving increased order activity. Our NewSouth acquisition contributed $27 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Our Southeast and Western business units together saw order entries grow 26% over the prior-year quarter, while NewSouth increased orders by approximately 48% compared to last year. Execution of strategic selling and marketing initiatives has been a key driver of sales in addition to recovering market demand for our portfolio of products, aided by an active hurricane season. Due primarily to strengthening order volume, and to a lesser extent, due to longer lead times associated with delays in receiving certain raw materials needed to manufacture our products, we ended the third quarter of 2020 with a consolidated backlog of $198 million at the end of our third quarter of 2020, which includes $45 million from NewSouth, an increase of $131 million from our backlog at year-end of 2019.

Our start to 2020 was strong, with 2020 first quarter consolidated net sales increasing 27%, net income increasing 89%, and net income per diluted share increasing 86%, all as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The first part of our 2020 second quarter was unfavorably impacted by the effects of the Pandemic and the negative economic effects it created, but ended with strengthened demand and increasing order volumes, our third quarter of 2020 saw consolidated net sales increase 20%, to $238.0 million, including the net sales of our NewSouth acquisition, net income increased 15%, to $17.3 million, and net income per diluted share increased 12%, to $0.29. While we believe the Pandemic and its negative economic impacts resulted in some softness in our primary western markets, where we continue to experience challenging macro-economic conditions, we also believe that our strong order volumes on a consolidated basis indicate that our markets as a whole and the new construction and repair and remodel industries into which our products are sold have not been as negatively impacted by the Pandemic as certain other industries in the United States.

Due to the continued uncertainty regarding the duration and severity of the Pandemic and its impact on the economy, and given the significant increase in the number of COVID-19 infections throughout the United States as we enter the Fall season, our ability to forecast our operational and financial performance for the fourth quarter of 2020 and beyond continues to be limited. As such, in lieu of giving full guidance, we are providing a limited outlook for the 2020 fourth quarter. We expect our fourth quarter 2020 consolidated net sales, inclusive of NewSouth, which we acquired on February 1, 2020, to range between $200 million and $210 million, or an increase in the range of 14%, to 20% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, reflecting the continuing strength of our order entries during the back half of the third quarter and into October 2020.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2020 were $238.0 million, a $40.2 million, or 20.3%, increase in sales, from $197.8 million in the third quarter of the prior year.

Net sales of our Southeast segment were $203.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared with $161.9 million in the 2019 third quarter, an increase of $41.8 million, or 25.9%. Southeast segment sales in the third quarter of 2020 includes $27.2 million from our NewSouth Acquisition. Net sales of our Western segment were $34.3 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared with $35.9 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 4.6%. Sales of our Western segment are composed of the sales of WWS.

The $40.2 million increase in net sales for the third quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by the inclusion of the net sales of our NewSouth acquisition, but also organic sales growth in our Southeast segment. These increases in net sales were partially offset by a slight sales decrease at our Western segment. Net sales of our Southeast segment, excluding the sales of our NewSouth acquisition, increased $14.6 million, or 9.0% as compared to the third quarter of 2019. Net sales of our Western segment decreased $1.6 million, or 4.6%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the 2019 third quarter. We believe the organic increase in sales of our Southeast segment is due to a resumption of demand for our products in both the new construction and repair and remodel markets that approached the pre-Pandemic strength that existed in our 2020 first quarter. We believe that our Western segment, saw a slowing rate of decline in demand in the 2020 third quarter, as compared to the 2020 second quarter, due to a strengthening housing market in the West, but to a lesser extent than in the Southeast. We believe the negative impact of the Pandemic, although continuing to unfavorably impact our Western segment during the 2020 third quarter, was offset by our customers in the Southeast preparing for what was expected to be, and has been, an active 2020 hurricane season. Net sales of our Southeast segment in the third quarter of 2020 included $27.2 million from our NewSouth acquisition.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit was $86.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $16.9 million, or 24.2%, from $70.0 million in the third quarter of 2019. The gross margin percentage was 36.5% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 35.4% in the prior year third quarter. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019, benefitted from operating leverage provided by the increased organic sales volume in our Southeast segment, improvements driven by operational efficiencies at our Western segment, and the addition of and accretion from our NewSouth Acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $56.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $12.1 million, from $44.6 million in the third quarter of 2019. SG&A in the third quarter of 2020 was 23.8% of net sales, compared to 22.5% of net sales in the third quarter of 2019. The increase in SG&A is primarily the result of the inclusion of the SG&A expenses of NewSouth for the third quarter of 2020, which resulted in an increase in SG&A totaling $10.7 million from its acquisition on February 1, 2020, which includes $0.8 million in amortization of the amortizable intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of NewSouth. Excluding the increase in SG&A from the inclusion of NewSouth, SG&A increased $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The increase in SG&A in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the 2019 third quarter, was primarily due to the inclusion of costs in the third quarter of 2020 of $0.8 million relating to COVID-19 safety measures taken at all Company facilities. Additionally, there were increases in several other categories, including depreciation, stock-based compensation, as well as additional costs from investing in our strategic selling and marketing initiatives, as well as higher distribution costs on increased sales levels.

Restructuring costs and charges

As we announced on April 20, 2020, the Company’s management approved a plan to consolidate its manufacturing operations in Florida, which included exiting our manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida, where our WinDoor and Eze-Breeze products were assembled, and relocating the manufacturing of those products to the our Venice and Tampa, Florida plants, respectively. We ceased production at the Orlando facility during June 2020. We made an adjustment of $321 thousand to the restructuring costs and charges, incurred and disbursed in the three months ended October 3, 2020, related to additional property, plant and equipment costs.


- 35 -


Income from operations

Income from operations was $30.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $4.6 million, from $25.4 million in the third quarter of 2019. Income from operations in the third quarter of 2020 includes $25.7 million from our Southeast segment and $4.5 million from our Western segment, compared to $22.4 million and $3.0 million from our Southeast and Western segments, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019, all after allocation of corporate operating costs in both periods. Income from operations in the third quarter of 2020 was also impacted by a third quarter adjustment of $321 thousand relating to restructuring costs and charges from our Florida plant consolidation actions taken in the 2020 second quarter, adjusted in the 2020 third quarter, relating to our Southeast segment. The increase in income from operations in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 is primarily a result of the increase in gross profit discussed above, including the accretion to gross profit from the addition of NewSouth, partially offset by an increase in SG&A in the third quarter of 2020, compared to last year’s third quarter.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $0.5 million, or 7.8%, from $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2019. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2020 includes an increase in interest expense due to the issuance of the Additional Senior Notes totaling $50.0 million effective on January 24, 2020, which we used to finance a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of NewSouth. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest costs for our term loan under our 2016 Credit Agreement due to a decrease in the borrowing rate in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the 2019 third quarter.

Income tax expense

Our income tax expense was $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared with income tax expense of $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2019. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended October 3, 2020, was an expense rate of 24.7%, and was an expense rate of 20.4% for the three months ended September 28, 2019.

Income tax expense in the three months ended October 3, 2020 included no discrete items of income tax. For the three months ended September 28, 2019, there were Federal and state research and development tax credit true-ups totaling $146 thousand. Excess tax benefits relating to equity awards, treated as a discrete item of income tax, were zero in the three months ended October 3, 2020, and were $665 thousand in the three months ended September 28, 2019.

Excluding discrete items of income tax, the effective tax rates for the three months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, would have been income tax expense rates of 24.7% and 24.8%, respectively. Our estimated annual effective tax rate, excluding the discrete items discussed above, approximates our current combined statutory federal and state rate of 25.0%.

In response to the Pandemic, in March 2020, the U.S. Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) legislation aimed at providing relief for individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted by the Pandemic. The CARES Act did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended October 3, 2020, we made payments of estimated Federal and state income taxes totaling $4.0 million. We made no payments of estimated Federal or state income taxes prior to the third quarter of 2020, as the deadlines for such payments to the United States government, and the majority of states in which we have nexus, which followed the payment deadline extension of the CARES Act, had been deferred until July 15, 2020. However, we received a refund from the state of Florida relating to excess taxes received by the state caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, described above, which was $700 thousand, before Federal effect. During the three months ended September 28, 2019, we made payments of estimated Federal and state income taxes totaling $4.3 million.

Net sales of our Western segment were $100.8 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared with $105.1 million in the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $4.2 million. Sales of our Western segment are composed of sales of WWS.

The $90.9 million increase in net sales for the first nine months of 2020 was primarily driven by the inclusion of the net sales of our NewSouth acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a slight sales decrease at our Western segment. Net sales of our Southeast segment, excluding the sales of our NewSouth acquisition, increased $28.9 million, or 6.2%, while net sales of our Western segment decreased $4.2 million, or 4.1%, in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the 2019 first nine months. The organic sales growth at our Southeast segment in the first nine months of 2020 was a result of strong organic growth in the 2020 first and third quarters, partially offset by an organic sales decrease in the second quarter of 2020, as our Southeast segment was unfavorably impacted by the Pandemic and consumer and government responses thereto. The decrease in sales at our Western segment in the first nine months of 2020 was driven by the economic challenges and related decrease in demand for our products in our core Western states, especially during the second quarter of 2020, but also continuing into the third quarter of 2020, caused by the Pandemic and government responses thereto, including stay-at-home orders, as well as by the general economic uncertainty that persisted in those markets. That decline in sales was offset in part by stronger sales in the first quarter of 2020, prior to the Pandemic. However, the rate of decrease in sales at our Western segment lessened during the third quarter of 2020, as compared to the second quarter of 2020, due to a strengthening new construction housing market in the West, but to a lesser extent than the new construction markets in the Southeast. We believe the Pandemic has impacted our Southeast segment to a lesser degree than our Western segment as, during the second and third quarters of 2020, our customers in the Southeast continued to prepare for what was expected to be, and has been, an active 2020 hurricane season. Net sales of our Southeast segment for the third quarter of 2020 included $66.2 million from our NewSouth acquisition.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit was $242.5 million in the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $38.3 million, or 18.8%, from $204.2 million in the first nine months of 2019. The gross margin percentage was 36.7% in the first nine months of 2020, compared to 35.8% in the first nine months of 2019, an increase of 0.9%. Gross margin increased in the first nine months of 2020 due primarily to the favorable effects of a higher sales and the resulting additional leverage provided to cover fixed costs, lower material costs, primarily aluminum costs, a heightened focus on labor cost management leading to improved operating efficiencies, especially at our Western segment, and the addition of and accretion from our NewSouth Acquisition. These benefits were offset by the negative effects of a decrease in organic volume, and a change in mix of products during the first nine months of 2020 compared to last year’s first nine months.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A expenses were $164.8 million in the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $32.2 million, from $132.6 million in the first nine months of 2019. SG&A in the first nine months of 2020 was 24.9% of net sales, compared to 23.3% of net sales in the first nine months of 2019. The increase in SG&A is primarily the result of the inclusion of the SG&A expenses of NewSouth for the third quarter of 2020, which resulted in an increase in SG&A totaling $25.7 million from its acquisition on February 1, 2020, which includes $2.2 million in amortization of the amortizable intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of NewSouth. Excluding the increase in SG&A from the inclusion of NewSouth, SG&A increased $6.5 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to the 2019 first nine months. The increase in SG&A in the first nine months of 2020, compared to the 2019 first nine months, was due to the inclusion of costs in the first nine months of 2020 of $2.4 million relating to COVID-19 safety measures taken, including increased frequency of cleaning and sanitization of all facilities, as well as $0.9 million in acquisition costs relating to our NewSouth acquisition. Additionally, there were increases in several other categories, including depreciation, stock-based compensation, as well as additional costs from investing in our strategic selling and marketing initiatives, and higher distribution costs on increased sales levels.

Impairment of trade name

There was an impairment of our WWS trade name of $8.0 million in the nine months ended October 3, 2020. Following an increase in net sales of 14.0% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of last year, net sales at our WWS reporting unit decreased 19.3% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to last year’s second quarter. As a result of this decrease in net sales in our second quarter of 2020, compared to the second quarter of last year, as well as continued deterioration in economic and market conditions surrounding the Pandemic, we determined to complete an interim impairment test of our WWS trade name as of July 4, 2020. For this interim impairment test, we decreased our modeling assumptions for net sales of our WWS reporting unit for our 2020 fiscal year based on a reassessment of our key assumptions in our modeling, including an updated assessment of macro industry growth in our WWS reporting unit’s key markets. We also decreased our 2021 growth rate assumption as we expect the challenging macro-economic conditions in our core western markets to continue during 2021. Based on our revised modeling, we concluded that the fair value of our WWS trade name was less than its carrying value, which resulted in an impairment of our WWS trade name of $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2020.

The rate of decrease in sales at our WWS reporting unit slowed during the third quarter of 2020, decreasing just 4.6% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of last year, which was within our modeling assumptions used during our second impairment test of our WWS trade name as of July 4, 2020. As such, we concluded that it was not necessary to update our impairment test as of October 3, 2020.

Restructuring costs and charges

As we announced on April 20, 2020, the Company’s management approved a plan to consolidate its manufacturing operations in Florida, which included exiting our manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida, where our WinDoor and Eze-Breeze products were assembled, and relocating the manufacturing of those products to our Venice and Tampa, Florida plants, respectively. We ceased production at the Orlando facility during June 2020. As a result of this consolidation, we recorded restructuring costs and charges totaling $4.2 million in the nine months ended October 3, 2020.

Of the $4.2 million in restructuring costs and charges, $1.9 million represents costs relating to and write-offs of property, plant and equipment, including the impairment of the right-of-use asset of the lease of the Orlando, Florida facility, $1.2 million represents charges relating to inventory not expected to be used due to product rationalization, which we chose to dispose of, and $1.1 million represents personnel-related costs. Substantially all of the personnel-related costs had been paid in cash by the end of our 2020 first nine months.

The following represents activities of restructuring costs and charges for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, which includes an adjustment of $321 thousand incurred and disbursed in the three months ended October 3, 2020 related to additional property, plant and equipment costs:

Income from operations

Income from operations was $65.5 million in the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of $6.1 million, from $71.6 million in the first nine months of 2019. Income from operations in the first nine months of 2020 includes $70.3 million from our Southeast segment and $7.4 million from our Western segment, compared to $62.9 million and $8.7 million from our Southeast and Western segments, respectively, in the first nine months of 2019, all after allocation of corporate operating costs in both periods. Income from operations in the first nine months of 2020 was also impacted by an impairment charge of $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 relating to our WWS trade name of our Western segment, and restructuring costs and charges of $4.2 million relating to our Florida plant consolidation actions taken in the 2020 second quarter, and further adjusted in the 2020 third quarter, relating to our Southeast segment. The decrease in income from operations in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the first nine months of 2019 is primarily a result of these charges, but also due to the increase in gross profit discussed above, partially offset by the increase in SG&A in the first nine months of 2020, compared to last year’s first nine months.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was $21.0 million in the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $1.1 million, or 5.3%, from $19.9 million in the first nine months of 2019. Interest expense in the first nine months of 2020 includes an increase in interest expense due to the issuance of the Additional Senior Notes totaling $50.0 million effective on January 24, 2020, which we used to finance a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of NewSouth. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest costs for our term loan under our 2016 Credit Agreement due to a decrease in the weighted-average borrowing rate in the first nine months of 2020, compared to the first nine months of 2019.

Income tax expense

Our income tax expense was $9.4 million for the first nine months of 2020, compared with $11.3 million for the first nine months of 2019. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, was 21.0%, and was 21.8% for the nine months ended September 28, 2019.

Income tax expense in the nine months ended October 3, 2020 includes several discrete items of income tax benefits, including Federal and state research and development tax credit true-ups to actual from the assumptions we made when preparing our 2019 tax provision, which totaled $319 thousand, and a refund from the state of Florida relating to excess taxes received by the state caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was $700 thousand, which benefitted tax expense by $553 thousand, net of its Federal tax effect. For the nine months ended September 28, 2019, there were Federal and state research and development tax credit true-ups totaling $146 thousand. Excess tax benefits relating to equity awards, treated as a discrete item of income tax, were $737 thousand in the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and were $1.7 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2019.

Excluding discrete items of income tax, the effective tax rates for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, and September 28, 2019, would have been income tax expense rates of 24.6% and 25.3%, respectively.

In response to the Pandemic, in March 2020, the U.S. Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) legislation aimed at providing relief for individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted by the Pandemic. The CARES Act did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended October 3, 2020, we made payments of estimated Federal and state income taxes totaling $4.0 million. We made no payments of estimated Federal or state income taxes prior to the third quarter of 2020, as the deadlines for such payments to the United States government, and the majority of states in which we have nexus, which followed the payment deadline extension of the CARES Act, had been deferred until July 15, 2020. However, we received a refund from the state of Florida relating to excess taxes received by the state caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, described above, which was $700 thousand, before Federal effect. During the nine months ended September 28, 2019, we made payments of estimated Federal and state income taxes totaling $10.8 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

Due to the unprecedented uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of the Pandemic, and the impact it may have on the U.S. economy and our business and operations, we have taken actions aimed at preserving cash and maintaining our liquidity, including : 1) delaying or canceling planned capital expenditures; 2) reducing discretionary spending; 3) optimizing net working capital by closely monitoring and forecasting cash collections and disbursement; and 4) closely managing labor costs.

We ended the third quarter of 2020 with $99.3 million in cash on hand and have $76.0 million in availability under the revolving credit facility of our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022. Additionally, we have no scheduled debt repayment obligations until the maturity of the outstanding balance of $54.0 million under our 2016 Credit Agreement on October 31, 2022.

Given the increase in orders for our products and resulting sales that we began to experience at the end of the second quarter of 2020 and in the third quarter, and due to the increase in our cash position and overall liquidity, we have resumed capital expenditures for certain selected projects, in addition to repaying $10 million of the term loan portion of our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022, following the end of the third quarter. However, given the economic uncertainty created by the Pandemic, and especially in light of the increasing number of COVID-19 infections heading into the Fall season, we intend to closely monitor our business operations, costs and expenses and liquidity in future periods for the foreseeable future, and will make adjustments to our capital expenditures and other expenses when we believe it is prudent to do so.

Consolidated Cash Flows

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, but there can be no assurance that will be the case in future periods, due to the possible adverse impacts that the Pandemic and its effects on the economy may have on our business. Our primary capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, meet required debt service payments on our credit facilities and fund capital expenditures.

The following table summarizes our cash flow results for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019:

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2020 was $65.4 million, compared to cash provided of $54.3 million in the first nine months of 2019. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2020, as compared to the first nine months of 2019, of $11.1 million, was due to the factors set forth in the table below.

Days sales outstanding (DSO), which we calculate as accounts receivable divided by quarterly average daily sales, was 43 days at October 3, 2020, compared to 42 days at September 28, 2019.

Inventory on hand as of October 3, 2020, was $54.7 million, compared to $43.9 million at December 28, 2019, an increase of $10.8 million. Inventory on hand at October 3, 2020 includes $4.5 million relating to our acquisition of NewSouth.

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 a low 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 $105.1 million for the first nine months of 2020, compared to cash used in investing activities of $20.2 million for the first nine months of 2019, an increase in cash used in investing activities of $84.9 million. Cash used to acquire NewSouth in the first nine months of 2020 totaled $90.4 million. This increase in cash used was partially offset by a decrease in cash used in investing activities due to a decrease in capital expenditures of $4.9 million, which went from $20.3 million in the first nine months of 2019, to $15.4 million in the first nine months of 2020. In the first nine months of 2020, management made the decision to decrease spending on a majority of capital projects as part of its cash preservation strategy due to the uncertainty around the Pandemic and its potential impact to the Company’s liquidity. Proceeds from disposals of assets in the first nine months of 2020 was $0.7 million, compared with less than $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2019.

Financing activities. Cash provided in financing activities was $41.8 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to cash used in financing activities of $4.9 million in the first nine months of 2019, an increase in cash provided of $46.7 million. In the first nine months of 2020, we issued the Additional Senior Notes, which provided proceeds of $53.2 million, including a premium of $3.2 million. Proceeds from the issuance of the Additional Senior Notes were used to partially fund the acquisition of NewSouth. There were payments of financing costs totaling $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2020, related to the issuance of the Additional Senior Notes. We made prepayments of borrowings of the term loan under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 of $10.0 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to payments of other long-term debt of $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2019. Taxes paid relating to common stock withheld from employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards were $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2020, versus $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2019, an increase in cash used of $0.3 million. Proceeds from the exercises of stock options were $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2019, a decrease in proceeds of $0.8 million. There were proceeds from stock issued under our 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $0.1 million during the first nine months of 2020. During the three months ended September 28, 2019, we made repurchases of 393,819 shares of our common stock totaling $5.6 million under a previously announced repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors.

During the nine months ended October 3, 2020, we made payments of estimated Federal and state income taxes totaling $4.0 million. These payments were partially offset by a refund from the state of Florida relating to excess taxes received by the state caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was $700 thousand, before Federal effect. During the nine months ended September 28, 2019, we made payments of estimated Federal and state income taxes totaling $10.8 million.

Capital Resources and Debt Covenant.

 

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.

On January 24, 2020, we completed the add-on issuance of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior notes (“Additional Senior Notes”), issued at 106.375% of their principal amount, resulting in a premium to us of $3.2 million. The Additional Notes are part of the same issuance of, and rank equally and form a single series with, the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026. Proceeds from the Additional Senior Notes, including premium, were used, together with cash on hand, to pay the $90.4 million purchase price in the acquisition of NewSouth.


- 41 -


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, and the Additional Senior Notes totaling $1.3 million, partially offset by the $3.2 million premium on the Additional Senior Notes, which are being amortized under the effective interest method. See “Deferred Financing Costs” below. As of October 3, 2020, the face value of debt outstanding under the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 was $365.0 million, and accrued interest totaled $4.3 million.

The indenture for the 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 gives us the option to 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

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 Truist Financial Corporation, 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 originally 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 originally 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 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.

On October 31, 2019, we entered into an amendment of our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 (“Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment provides for, among other things, (i) a three-year Term A loan in the then aggregate principal amount of $64.0 million (the “Initial Term A Loan”), maturing in October 2022, which refinances in full our existing Term B term loan facility under the 2016 Credit Agreement, and has no regularly scheduled amortization, and (ii) a new five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $80.0 million (the “New Revolving Facility”), maturing in October 2024, which replaces our existing $40.0 million revolving credit facility under the 2016 Credit Agreement, and includes a swing-line facility and letter of credit facility. Our obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement continue to be secured by substantially all of our assets, as well as our direct and indirect subsidiaries’ assets.

Pursuant to the Third Amendment, interest on all loans under the 2016 Credit Agreement is payable either quarterly or at the expiration of any LIBOR interest period applicable thereto. The Third Amendment decreases the applicable interest rate margins for the Initial Term Loan A from (i) 2.50% to a spread of 1.00% to 1.75% based on our first lien net leverage ratio, in the case of the Base Rate Loans (with a floor of 100 basis points), and (ii) 3.50% to a spread ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% based on our first lien leverage ratio, in the case of the Eurodollar Loans (with a floor of zero basis points).

Also, in connection with the Third Amendment, we will pay quarterly fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%) based on our first lien net leverage ratio. The Third Amendment also modifies the springing financial covenant under the 2016 Credit Agreement to provide that such financial covenant will not be tested until the Initial Term A Loan is paid in full. As of October 3, 2020, there were $4.0 million in letters of credit outstanding and $76.0 million available under the New Revolving Facility.

Fees and costs relating to the Third Amendment were $0.9 million, which are deferred and being amortized. In connection with the Third Amendment, certain existing lenders modified their positions in or exited the 2016 Credit Agreement. Deferred financing costs and original issue discount allocated to these lenders of $1.5 million were written-off and classified as debt extinguishment costs in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 28, 2019. As of October 3, 2020, after making prepayments of borrowings totaling $10.0 million during the third quarter of 2020, the principal amount of debt outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 was $54.0 million, and accrued interest was $70 thousand.

The weighted average all-in interest rate for borrowings under the term-loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 was 2.17% as of October 3, 2020, and was 3.77% at December 28, 2019.

Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022 contains a springing financial covenant that would apply if we draw in excess of thirty-five percent (35%) 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 103% 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 4.00:1.00 (4.50:1.00 during a significant acquisition period as defined). We have not been required to test our first lien net leverage ratio because we have not exceeded 35% 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 $162.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the term loan portion of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2022.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures vary depending on prevailing business factors, including current and anticipated market conditions. For the first nine months of 2020, capital expenditures were $15.4 million, compared to $20.3 million for the first nine months of 2019. In the first half of 2020, management made the decision to decrease spending on a majority of capital projects as part of its cash preservation strategy implemented in response to the uncertainty around the Pandemic’s impact on the Company’s business and liquidity. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s management determined to begin funding certain previously deferred capital projects in view of the increased order entry, sales, cash position and overall liquidity the Company has experienced. The Company’s management will continue to evaluate the level of capital expenditures the Company may incur for the remainder of 2020 and thereafter, but we expect to continue to fund previously deferred capital projects, which may result in a higher level of capital spending as compared to the first nine months of 2020. However, we may return to a more conservative approach to managing capital expenditures going forward based on our evaluation of future economic conditions and the performance of our businesses and operations, including the impact of the Pandemic and the economic uncertainty it has caused on our sales, cash position and overall liquidity. Our capital expenditure program is directed towards making investments in capital assets that we believe will increase both gross sales and margins, but also includes capital expenditures for maintenance capital.

Aluminum Forward and Midwest Transaction Premium Contracts. We enter into aluminum forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusions we use in production. Beginning late in the first nine months of 2020, we began entering into forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the price of the delivery component of our aluminum extrusion purchases, known as the Midwest Transaction Premium (MTP).

At October 3, 2020, the fair value of our aluminum forward contracts was in a net asset position of $0.3 million. We had 28 outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 34.6 million pounds of aluminum through December 2021, at an average price of $0.80 per pound, which excludes the Midwest premium, with maturity dates of between one month and fifteen months. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the Company to these contracts and determined it was immaterial and, therefore, did not record any adjustment to fair value as of October 3, 2020.

At October 3, 2020, the fair value of our MTP contracts was in a net liability position of $30 thousand. We had 14 outstanding MTP contracts to hedge the Platt US MW Transaction price per pound for the delivery of 31.5 million pounds of aluminum through December 2021, at an average price of $0.12 per pound, with maturity dates of between one month and fifteen months. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the Company to these contracts and determined it was immaterial and, therefore, did not record any adjustment to fair value as of October 3, 2020.

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 income (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 income (loss), net, recognized in the “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2020, that we expect will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months, will be approximately $0.2 million.

Restructuring Costs and Charges

Florida Manufacturing Facilities Consolidation. As we announced on April 20, 2020, the Company’s management approved a plan to consolidate its manufacturing operations in Florida, which included exiting our manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida, where our WinDoor and Eze-Breeze products were assembled, and relocate the manufacturing of those products to the our Venice and Tampa, Florida plants, respectively. We ceased production at the Orlando facility during June 2020. As a result of this consolidation, we recorded restructuring costs and charges totalling $4.2 million in the nine months ended October 3, 2020.

The following represents activities of restructuring costs and charges for the nine months ended October 3, 2020, which includes an adjustment of $321 thousand incurred and disbursed in the three months ended October 3, 2020 related to additional property, plant and equipment costs.:

Contractual Obligations

Except for the issuance of the Additional Senior Notes, as described in Part I., Item 1., Note 9, and the addition of $17.9 million in operating lease liabilities in the nine months ended October 3, 2020, as described in Part I., Item 1., Note 10, including the $10.6 million in operating lease liabilities assumed in the NewSouth Acquisition, described in Part I., Item 1., Note 6, 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 28, 2019.

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 28, 2019. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the first nine months of 2020.

As discussed below, we updated certain impairment tests due to the Pandemic, which we determined to be an interim triggering event.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

We perform our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing on the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter of each year, and at interim periods if needed based on occurrence of triggering events. Given the general deterioration in economic and market conditions surrounding the Pandemic, and the narrow excess of fair value over carrying value of its WinDoor and WWS trade names as described in our 2019 Form 10-K, the Company determined it should complete interim impairment tests of its WinDoor and WWS trade names as of as of the end of the Company’s first quarter of 2020. These interim impairment tests did not indicate that impairments of those assets existed at that time.


- 45 -


Following an increase in net sales of 14.0% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of last year, net sales at our WWS reporting unit decreased 19.3% in the second quarter of 2020, compared to last year’s second quarter. As a result of this decrease in net sales in the second quarter of 2020, compared to the second quarter of last year, as well as continued deterioration in macro-economic conditions in our core western markets relating to the Pandemic, we determined to complete a second interim impairment test of our WWS trade name as of July 4, 2020. For this second interim impairment test, we further decreased our modeling assumptions for net sales of our WWS reporting unit for our 2020 fiscal year based on a reassessment of our key assumptions in our modeling, including an updated assessment of macro industry growth in our WWS reporting unit’s key markets. We also decreased our 2021 growth rate assumption as we expect the challenging macro-economic conditions in our core western markets to continue during 2021, Based on our revised modeling, we concluded that the fair value of our WWS trade name was less than its carrying value, which resulted in an impairment of our WWS trade name of $8.0 million in our second quarter of 2020.

 

The rate of decrease in sales at our WWS reporting unit slowed during the third quarter of 2020, decreasing just 4.6% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to last year’s third quarter, which was within our modeling assumptions used during our second impairment test of our WWS trade name as of July 4, 2020. As such, we concluded that it was not necessary to update our impairment test as of October 3, 2020.

For our WWS reporting unit, our most recent annual impairment test of goodwill was a quantitative assessment. Based on this quantitative assessment, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of our WWS reporting unit exceeded its fair value, as the estimated fair value of our WWS reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value at that time. Because of the decrease in sales at our WWS reporting unit and continued deterioration in macro-economic conditions in our core western markets relating to the Pandemic as described above, we determined to update the projections in our most recent quantitative assessment of WWS reporting unit to goodwill using the projections in our above WWS trade name assessment. Based on this update of the most recent quantitative assessment, the amount by which the estimated fair value of our WWS reporting unit exceeds its carrying value has decreased, but such fair value was still approximately 10% more than its carrying value. As such, we have concluded that it continues to be not more likely than not that the carrying value of our WWS reporting unit exceeds its fair value. However, should our WWS reporting unit experience future financial results which are below our most recently updated projections, the amount by which the estimated fair value of our WWS reporting unit exceeds the carrying value would further decrease, which could result in an impairment of the goodwill of our WWS reporting unit.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The transition to new reference interest rates will require certain contracts to be modified and ASU 2020-04 is intended to mitigate the effects of this transition. The accommodations provided by ASU 2020-04 are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied at the beginning of any interim period within that time frame. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also clarifies and amends existing guidance. This standard is effective beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact 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 and to hedge the delivery component of our aluminum needs, known as the Midwest Transaction Premium (“MTP”). As of October 3, 2020, we are covered for approximately 63% of our anticipated aluminum needs during the fourth quarter of 2020 at an average price of $0.82 per pound, and for approximately 51% of our anticipated aluminum needs in 2021 at an average price of $0.80 per pound. These calculations are based only on the LME price of aluminum and excludes an estimate for the MTP, which we hedge separately. As of October 3, 2020, we are covered for approximately 35% of our anticipated MTP costs for the fourth quarter of 2020 at an average price of $0.12 per pound, and for approximately 50% of our anticipated MTP costs in 2021 at an average price of $0.12 per pound.

Regarding our aluminum hedging instruments for the purchase of aluminum, as of October 3, 2020, a 10% decrease in the price of aluminum per pound would decrease the fair value of our forward contracts of aluminum by an estimated $2.8 million. This calculation utilizes our actual commitment of 34.6 million pounds under contract (to be settled throughout December 2021) and the market price of aluminum as of October 3, 2020. This calculation is based only on the LME price of aluminum and excludes an estimate for the MTP. Regarding our MTP contracts for hedging of the delivery component of our aluminum needs, as of October 3, 2020, a 10% decrease in the Platts MW US Transaction price per pound would decrease the fair value of our MTP contracts an estimated $364 thousand. This calculation utilizes our actual commitment of 31.5 million pounds under contract (to be settled throughout December 2021) and the then current Platts MW US Transaction price per pound as of October 3, 2020.

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 $54.0 million, a 100 basis-point increase in interest rate would result in approximately $0.5 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. However, during our first quarter ended April 4, 2020, we acquired NewSouth Window Solutions (“NewSouth”). We are currently integrating NewSouth into our operations, compliance programs and internal control processes, and we will include NewSouth in our assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of January 2, 2021, the end of our 2020 fiscal year.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

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 28, 2019. 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, among other risks, an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19 pandemic”, or “Pandemic”). The Pandemic has significantly affected economic conditions in the United States and internationally, as federal, state and local governments reacted, and continue to react, to the public health crisis with mitigation measures, resulting in workforce, supply chain and production disruptions, along with reduced demand and spending in many industry sectors, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. Although efforts have been undertaken to reduce restrictions on economic and social activities that were put in place as part of the initial response to the Pandemic, increased social and other interactions may adversely affect efforts to reduce the COVID-19 pandemic’s health and other effects. For example, there were significant increases in the number of COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations in many of our core markets during the Summer of 2020, including Arizona, Florida and Texas, and there has been a significant increase in infections and hospitalizations in many states in October 2020. It is uncertain whether, or the extent to which, these increases in infections and hospitalizations will result in renewed government restrictions, how long any such restrictions may last, and how the increasing rate of infections in the Fall may impact consumers’ voluntary behavior with respect to economic activity, including demand for our products. It is also unknown how long the economic uncertainty and challenges arising from the Pandemic, including elevated unemployment rates, will last and/or how long an economic recovery could take.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, an unfavorable impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition, among other risks, although the extent, nature and timing of such impacts cannot be predicted at this time. As the virus continues to unfold in the United States and globally, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts us will depend on a number of factors and developments that we are not able to predict or control, including, among others: the severity and duration of the outbreak, including the duration and severity of additional periods of increases or spikes in the number of COVID-19 cases in future periods in some or all of the regions where we conduct our operations and/or sell our products, or where our customers or suppliers conduct their businesses, and how widespread any such additional area or wave of infections may become; governmental, business and other actions, including the possibility of additional state, or local emergency or executive orders that, unlike recent governmental orders of that nature, may not deem our products or business operations to be essential; and, the health of and the effect of the Pandemic on our workforce and the availability of our workforce.

- 48 -


Furthermore, there has been significant volatility in U.S. equity markets which may have indirectly been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The price and trading volume of the Company’s common stock has similarly experienced significant fluctuations, which may continue until more normalized business conditions return. In addition, if the Pandemic and its adverse economic effects create disruptions or turmoil in the credit markets, it could adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms, or at all, and continue to meet our liquidity needs, all of which cannot be predicted.

We also cannot predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on third parties critical to our success, such as: (1) the builders, dealers and distributors to whom we sell our products, and (2) the suppliers who provide us with the materials necessary for us to manufacture our products, some of whom have experienced their own business and operational disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including facility or location closures, reduced hours of operations and/or labor shortages. In addition, we and certain of our suppliers have found it more challenging to obtain the labor necessary to manufacture our and their products in a timely manner, and we believe that challenge is due in part to the government stimulus payments and supplemental unemployment benefits provided earlier in the year. Any additional stimulus payments or supplemental unemployment benefits could result in a continuation of that challenge, which may increase the amount of time it takes us and our suppliers to manufacture and deliver products, which could result in significant delays in and interruptions to our ability to manufacture and deliver our products in a timely manner. While we have experienced some disruptions to our supply chain for materials to-date, those disruptions have not materially impacted our financial performance or results of operations thus far. However, there can be no assurance that we will not experience significant disruptions or delays of production and delivery of materials and products in our supply chain, including for example, due to the inability of our suppliers to find adequate labor resources and/or future government actions that may require one or more of our suppliers to temporarily close or dramatically reduce its operations for extended periods of time, or due to voluntary actions by those suppliers, as part of an effort to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Pandemic has required us and certain of our customers and third-party vendors to activate business continuity programs and make ongoing adjustments to operations. To the extent that these plans and back-up strategies and adjustments are either not available, insufficient or cannot be implemented in whole or in part, we may be exposed to legal, regulatory, reputational, operational, information security or financial risk. The unfavorable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could become more severe if the crisis continues or worsens, and we could experience detrimental impacts that might include the following:

 

complete or partial closures of, or other operational challenges at, one or more of our manufacturing facilities, resulting from government action, labor shortages, suppliers being unable to provide us with materials, or our voluntary actions to protect the health and safety of our team members;

 

 

difficulty sourcing materials we require to fulfill production needs or higher prices being charged to us for those materials, as a result of suppliers experiencing closures or reductions in their production capacity or utilization levels;

 

 

economic challenges, contractions or recession unfavorably impacting our customers’ financial condition and liquidity, reducing their ability or desire to purchase additional products from us and increasing the likelihood they may need additional time to pay us or that they fail to pay us at all, which could significantly increase the amount of accounts receivable and the aging of those accounts and require us to record additional allowances for doubtful accounts;

 

 

economic challenges and contractions, including high unemployment rates, and reduced economic activity in general, resulting in a lengthy recession, which could negatively impact consumer purchases and spending for our products;

 

 

difficulty accessing debt or equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, due to an unfavorable change in our credit ratings, and/or a severe disruption or instability in capital and financial markets, or deterioration in other conditions that impact our ability to access capital needed to fund business operations or to address other capital requirements in a timely manner

 

 

our inability to comply with financial covenants under our debt agreements and notes indentures, which could result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness; and

 

 

the health and availability of our team members, particularly if a significant number of them or their family members are impacted by COVID-19, which could disrupt our business continuity during the Pandemic.

 


- 49 -


If any one or more of those impacts are sustained, they could have accounting consequences such as impairments of the goodwill and/or trade names of our reporting units and could seriously disrupt our operations and sales for extended periods. The adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations of any of the matters described above could be material.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition, including any goodwill or trade name impairment or other asset impairments to our business segments as described in this Report, will depend largely on future developments, including the severity and duration of the outbreak in the U.S., whether there are additional or other meaningful increases in the number or severity of COVID-19 cases in future periods, and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending and on our customers, suppliers and labor force, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The COVID-19 pandemic and the unfavorable impacts it has had on the United States and global economies presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business going forward and our future results of operations and financial condition. The Pandemic and its unfavorable economic impacts may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
