PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

Our Company

PGT Innovations, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “PGTI” or the “Company”) manufactures and supplies premium windows and doors and fully customizable overhead garage doors, with the recent acquisition of Martin Door Holdings, Inc. (“Martin”) effective on October 14, 2022. Our impact-resistant products can withstand some of the toughest weather conditions on earth and, with our Western Window Systems (“WWS”) product lines, unify indoor/outdoor living spaces. We strive to create value through deep customer relationships, understanding the needs of the markets we serve, and a drive to develop category-defining products. We believe we are one of the nation’s largest manufacturers of impact-resistant windows and doors and hold leadership positions in our primary markets. We manufacture diverse lines of products, intended to appeal to different segments of the market, at different price-points, including high-end, luxury, premium and mass-custom fully customizable aluminum and vinyl windows and doors and porch enclosure products, targeting both the residential repair and remodeling and new construction end markets. We market our impact-resistant products under five recognized brands: PGT® Custom Windows & Doors, CGI® Windows and Doors, WinDoor®, NewSouth Window Solutions®, and Eco Enterprises, Inc. We believe all of these brands are positively associated with service, performance, quality, durability and energy efficiency. We also market a line of window and door products designed to unify indoor/outdoor living spaces under the two recognized brands of Western Window Systems® and Anlin®, which we believe are associated with innovation, quality, durability and energy efficiency in the indoor/outdoor living space markets. With the acquisition of Martin, we have added premium overhead garage doors to our product portfolio, entering into a building product adjacent to the window and door market, and further expanding our western geographic footprint.

On October 14, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Martin Door Holdings, Inc. (the "Martin Acquisition"). Headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT, Martin is a leading custom manufacturer of premium overhead garage doors and hardware serving the Western U.S. residential and commercial markets. The acquisition was done by WWS Acquisition, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company, and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PGT Innovations, Inc. Martin will operate under the Western Division of PGTI.

Our impact-resistant products combine heavy-duty aluminum or vinyl frames with laminated glass to ensure structural integrity, which provides protection from wind-driven projectiles of all sizes and other debris during a storm. Our impact-resistant products substantially reduce the likelihood of penetration by impacting projectiles, protecting people and property, while providing expansive, unblocked exterior views that other forms of protection, such as shutters or wood coverings, do not provide. Our impact-resistant products also offer many other benefits, including: (1) abatement of sound to substantially decrease outside noise, including during hurricanes; (2) protection against the damaging effects of ultra-violet light; (3) reduction of energy loss due to changing external temperatures; and (4) energy efficiency that can significantly reduce cooling and heating costs, as evidenced by the energy ratings our products have received. These impact-resistant products satisfy the nation’s most stringent building codes in hurricane-prone coastal states and provide an attractive alternative to shutters and other “active” forms of hurricane protection that require installation and removal before and after each storm. We also manufacture vinyl porch and patio enclosure products under our Eze-Breeze ® brand, that are designed to allow air flow while protecting against inclement weather, making outdoor spaces more inviting.

The acquisition of NewSouth has supported our diversification into growing segments in the window and door industry, by enabling us to enter the direct-to-consumer channel, where NewSouth is a market leader in Florida. NewSouth's direct-to-consumer model is supported by its showrooms and in-home sales. With the addition of NewSouth, we continued our strategy of growing in geographic areas outside of our core markets, with showrooms throughout the southern states.

The acquisition of Eco extended our residential market footprint with what we believe will be minimal overlap with our existing network of dealers, as most of Eco’s dealer-customers have not historically been our customers. Eco’s product offerings in the commercial market are expected to provide us with added product and customer diversification in that space, which we believe will be a high-growth market in future periods. By adding Eco’s glass manufacturing capabilities to our operations, we expanded our glass production capabilities and capacity in order to strengthen and gain more control of our supply chain for glass.

The additions of Anlin and Western Window Systems (“WWS”) to our family of brands expanded our portfolio of offerings and our geographical footprint and added award-winning and innovative products that combine performance and quality with clean, functional designs. Those products are designed for strength, easy integration into a variety of spaces, smooth operation and are tested for durability.

With the addition of Martin, we expanded into an adjacent window and door category by adding premium overhead garage doors to our product portfolio, and broadened our geographic footprint and brand presence in the high-growth Western region. Martin adds another recognized brand to our portfolio of brands, and we believe will open cross-selling opportunities for existing Western division brands and NewSouth Window Solutions.

With approximately 5,500 employees (as of December 31, 2022) at our various manufacturing facilities located in North Venice, Tampa, and Fort Myers, on the west coast of Florida, and Hialeah and Medley, on the east coast of Florida, as well as Phoenix, Arizona, Irvine and Clovis, California, and Salt Lake City, Utah, in the western U.S., our vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities include in-house glass cutting, tempering, laminating and insulating capabilities, which provide us with a consistent source of specialized glass, shorter lead times, lower costs relative to third-party sourcing and an overall more efficient production process. Additionally, our manufacturing process relies on just-in-time delivery of raw materials and components as well as synchronous flow to promote labor efficiency and throughput, allowing us to more consistently fulfill orders on-time for our valued customers.

The geographic regions in which we currently conduct business include the Southeastern U.S., Western U.S., Gulf Coast, and the Coastal mid-Atlantic. We also ship to the Caribbean, Central America and Canada. We distribute our products through multiple channels, including nearly 4,000 independently-owned dealers and distributors, national building supply distributors, the in-home sales/custom order divisions of major U.S. home building and improvement supply retailers and, with our acquisition of NewSouth, the direct-to-consumer channel. We believe this broad distribution network provides us with the flexibility to meet demand as it shifts between the repair and remodel, and residential and commercial new construction end markets.

History

PGT Innovations, Inc. is a Delaware corporation. We were formed on December 16, 2003 as PGT, Inc. and operate our business through our various subsidiaries, including PGT Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation, which was founded in 1980 as Vinyl Tech, Inc. On June 27, 2006, we became a publicly listed company on the NASDAQ Global Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol “PGTI”. We changed our name to PGT Innovations, Inc. which we announced on December 14, 2016. Effective on December 28, 2016, the listing of the Company’s common stock was transferred to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and our common stock began trading on the NYSE under our existing ticker symbol of “PGTI”.

Industry Segments

We operate as two segments based on geography: the Southeast segment, and the Western segment. See Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data, Note 19. Segments for more information.

Scout. Scout is CGI’s line of aluminum non-impact windows and doors that are offered at a relatively lower price point.

WinDoor

WinDoor’s products carry the WinDoor® brand and carry various product names, including its 3000 and 4000 Series aluminum windows, its 6000, 7000 and 8000 Series aluminum sliding glass doors, and its 9000 Series thermally broken windows and doors.

Aluminum Doors and Windows. WinDoor produces a wide array of high-end, luxury aluminum doors and windows, including impact and non-impact sliding glass doors and terrace doors, fixed picture windows, single hung windows, and horizontal rolling windows. All of WinDoor’s aluminum windows are available in impact and non-impact versions and meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® standards in all climate zones.

WinDoor’s thermally broken products provide the strength of aluminum with the energy ratings usually seen in only vinyl products. All of WinDoor’s thermally broken products are available in multiple shapes and sizes, have earned high performance ratings on impact and non-impact certifications, and meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® standards in all climate zones.

Estate by WinDoor. Formerly part of CGI, our Estate Collection of windows and doors is one of WinDoor’s premium aluminum impact-resistant product line. These windows and doors can be found in high-end homes, resorts and hotels, and in schools and office buildings. Our Estate Collection combines protection against hurricane force damage with architectural-grade quality, handcrafted details and modern engineering. These windows and doors protect and insulate against hurricane winds and wind-driven debris, outside noise, and offer UV protection. Estate’s aluminum frames are thicker than many of our competitors’ frames, making it a preferable choice for consumers in coastal areas prone to hurricanes.

Western Window Systems

WWS’s products are non-impact products, and include both customized products for its custom sales channel, and standard products for its volume, production builder, sales channel, and carry the Western Windows Systems® brand under four product categories of the Classic Line, Performance Line, Minimalist Multi-Slide Door, and the Simulated Steel Line.

Classic Line. WWS’s Classic Line is a portfolio of high-quality, disappearing glass walls and windows that combine exceptional performance with clean design. The products of the Classic Line include fixed and operating windows, as well as sliding, folding and hinged doors. Sales of the Classic Line products are focused on the volume/production builder market in relatively temperate areas in the Southwestern United States.

Performance Line. The Performance Line by WWS is a family of moving glass walls and windows engineered to satisfy its customers’ energy and structural requirements, while promoting a contemporary, modern architectural design. The Performance Line has broad thermal capabilities that allow this luxury line of products to satisfy all energy codes throughout the United States.

Simulated Steel Line. The Simulated Steel Line by WWS is a portfolio of thermally-broken, aluminum moving glass walls and windows that look like steel but are far more affordable. This portfolio of products embodies WWS’s nearly 60 years of advancements in door and window design, and we believe exhibits luxury and refinement. The Simulated Steel Line has clean, narrow profiles which gives the glass components of the products a prominent positioning, while maximizing natural light.

Minimalist Multi-Slide Door. The recently launched Minimalist Multi-Slide door by WWS offers innovative narrow interlock stiles that provide a minimalist aesthetic with maximum daylight. This combination of large panel sizes, discreet lines, and energy efficient low-E, dual-pane glass delivers a beautiful new way to minimize the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.

NewSouth

Windows and Doors. NewSouth manufactures a wide array of single-hung, double-hung, sliding, picture and visually appealing shaped vinyl windows which are durable and energy-efficient. NewSouth also manufactures durable and attractive patio and entry doors which we believe enhance safety and improve the appearance of entry spaces.

- 7 -

Installation. NewSouth provides quality installation of its windows and doors through an experienced group of installation services companies who are subcontracted to install its products.

Eco Window Systems and CGI Commercial

Eco manufactures impact resistant windows and doors which are engineered to meet the toughest standards in the industry at the best price while ensuring the durability, elegance, and safety of all products for both the commercial and residential markets.

Windows and Doors. Eco manufactures a wide array of aluminum single-hung, horizontal rolling, fixed, and casement windows which are all impact resistant. Eco also manufactures several varieties of aluminum, impact-resistant patio and entry doors such as French, sliding, garage, bi-fold, and pivot which we believe complement the existing product lines offered by PGT Custom Windows & Doors and CGI Windows and Doors.

Glass production. Eco produces its own processed glass products, which supplies all of its window and door manufacturing operations’ requirements for glass. Eco’s glass production capacity also allows incremental vertical integration of glass for the production of certain of our other product lines, enabling us to strengthen and gain more control of our supply chain for glass. Eco also sells a small amount of glass other to third-party customers.

Commercial Storefront System. Our Commercial Storefront window system and entry doors are engineered to provide a flexible yet economical solution for a variety of applications. Our system is designed with the goal of providing easy fabrication and assembly, while also reducing installation time and challenges.

Anlin produces energy-efficient windows and doors with modern, energy saving technology, with a focus on noise reduction, delivering a high-quality product with appealing design and beauty. Anlin also provides consumer driven specialty products such as hinged patio doors with flexible options like in glass pet doors.

Anlin windows and patio doors are tested and certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), the American Architectural Manufactures Association (AAMA), and Energy Star. Each certification assures homeowners that our windows and patio doors are manufactured to the highest quality and energy standards.

Martin Door

Martin is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah with an operating history exceeding 85 years and is a leading custom manufacturer of premium overhead garage doors and hardware, serving the Western United States. Martin is recognized in the industry for high-quality and fully-customizable products to both commercial and residential end markets.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales strategy primarily focuses on strengthening partnerships with our loyal distributors and dealers in the repair and remodel, and new construction markets by consistently providing exceptional customer service, industry-leading product designs and quality, valuable insight on building code requirements and industry trends, and technical expertise. We also market our products directly to national and regional homebuilders, who then purchase our products from our long-standing network of dealers and distributors. With our acquisition of NewSouth Window Solutions in February 2020, our sales strategy expanded to include a focus on direct-to-consumer sales to meet the growing demand from consumers looking for a manufacturer-to-home selling experience. Our 2021 acquisition of a controlling ownership stake in ECO has provided us with more product offerings and customer relationships in the commercial market, which we believe will be a high growth market in future periods. Most recently, our acquisition of Martin in October 2022, has expanded our product portfolio into a new market of commercial and residential garage doors.

Our marketing strategy is designed to promote the quality and benefits of our products and targets both coastal and inland markets across the U.S. We reach our customers through traditional and web-based advertising; consumer promotions; and showrooms and selling materials. We also work with our dealers and distributors to educate architects, building officials, consumers, and homebuilders on the advantages of using impact-resistant and energy-efficient products. We market products from our house of brands to consumers based on performance and life-style benefits they value, as well as through the purchase channels they desire.

Our Customers

We have a highly diversified base of nearly 4,000 window distributors, building supply distributors, window replacement dealers and enclosure contractors and garage door installation dealers. This number includes the distributor networks of Martin, acquired during 2022. We believe there is minimal overlap with our existing dealer network from the acquisition of Martin.

- 8 -

In 2022, our largest customer accounted for approximately 3% of net sales and our top ten customers accounted for approximately 19% of net sales. This compares to 4% and 20%, respectively, in 2021. Our sales are driven by residential new construction and home repair and remodel end markets, which represented approximately 42% and 58% of our sales, respectively, during 2022. This compares to 42% and 58%, respectively, in 2021. These percentages were consistent year-over-year.

We generally do not supply our products directly to homebuilders, but believe demand for our products is also a function of our strong relationships with certain national homebuilders for both our impact resistant products, and also for our products sold in the west. With the acquisition of NewSouth, we sell direct to the end customer.

Materials, Inventory and Supplier Relationships

Our primary manufacturing materials include aluminum and vinyl extrusions, glass, ionoplast, and polyvinyl butyral. With the acquisition of Martin, steel is an additional primary material used in our manufacturing operations of garage doors. Although in many instances we have agreements with our suppliers, these agreements can be terminated by either party on limited notice. While most of our materials are typically available from other sources, transitioning to alternative sources would require us to complete testing and certifications related to impact-resistance and for the alternative source of supply to create the customized equipment and tooling necessary to provide the materials and components to us. Therefore, our goal is to develop and maintain lasting relationships with our material suppliers.

Glass, which includes sheet glass and finished glass, which we sourced from three major national suppliers in 2022, represented approximately 36% of our material purchases during 2022, compared with 40% in 2021. Aluminum and vinyl extrusions accounted for approximately 39% of our material purchases during 2022, compared with 36% in 2021. Polyvinyl butyral and ionoplast, which are both used as inner layer in laminated glass, typically accounts for approximately 5% of our material purchases. The remainder of our material purchases in 2022 and 2021 were primarily composed of hardware and other materials used in the manufacturing process.

Our inventory consists principally of raw materials purchased for the manufacture of our products and limited finished goods inventory as the majority of our products are custom, made-to-order products. Our inventory levels are more closely aligned with our number of product offerings rather than our level of sales. We have maintained our inventory level to have (i) raw materials required to support new product launches; (ii) a sufficient level of safety stock on certain items to ensure an adequate supply of material in the event of a sudden increase in demand and given our short lead-times; and (iii) adequate lead times for raw materials purchased from overseas suppliers in bulk supply.

As discussed below in the section titled "Backlog”, at the end of 2022, as compared to the end of 2021, our backlog of sales orders has decreased. We define backlog as orders that we have received and have accepted from customers, but that have not yet shipped. The majority of this decrease is a result of an increase in production capacity in 2022, but also includes an increase relating to the acquisition of Martin in 2022. During 2021, our backlog increased as a result of growth in orders above our capacity to keep pace with the increased demand. As a result, during 2021, we opened an additional approximately 130,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Fort Myers, Florida to provide additional manufacturing capacity. We continue to have good relations with our glass supply chain partners, and we have gained additional control over our supply chain for glass with our acquisition of a 75% stake in Eco, whose vertically integrated operations includes a glass manufacturing division which supplies all of the impact-resistant glass used in Eco’s window and door products, as well as providing an additional source for CGI. We believe that our investment in Eco has provided us with a secure, high-quality, dependable supply of glass for our operations. Prior to our acquisition of Eco, it was historically a significant source of our glass needs and continues to be such today.

Backlog

Our backlog was $228.8 million as of December 31, 2022, and $355.9 million as of January 1, 2022. Our backlog consists of orders that we have received from customers that have not yet shipped. The majority of this decrease in backlog resulted from an increase in the Company’s overall production capacity, with corresponding lower lead times, as the level of order entries during 2022, compared to 2021 remained relatively flat. For additional discussion of factors affecting our backlog of orders, see the section titled "Materials, Inventory and Supplier Relationships" above.

We expect that a significant portion of our current backlog will be recognized as sales in the first quarter of 2023, due in part to our lead times, which typically range from four to ten weeks for a majority of our products.

Intellectual Property

We own and have registered trademarks in the U.S. In addition, we own several patents and patent applications concerning various aspects of window assembly and related processes. We are not aware of any circumstances that would have a material adverse effect on our ability to use our trademarks and patents. If we continue to renew our trade names when necessary, the trade-name protection provided by them is perpetual.

- 9 -

Manufacturing

Our manufacturing facilities are in Florida, Arizona, California, and Utah. In Florida, we produce customized impact-resistant and non-impact products. In Arizona, we produce a combination of aluminum and vinyl, customized non-impact products for the custom channel of our WWS brand, and standard products for its volume channel. In California, we produce vinyl custom non-impact products which, combined with our products manufactured in Arizona, we believe gives us a complete array of aluminum and vinyl, custom and standard window and door products for what we believe is a high-growth western market. In Utah, we produce premium overhead garage doors and hardware, serving the Western United States.

The manufacturing process for our PGT Custom Windows & Doors products typically begins in our glass plant in North Venice, Florida, where we cut, temper, laminate, and insulate sheet glass to meet specific requirements of our customers, and then windows and doors are manufactured in our plants in North Venice, Florida, and our newly opened manufacturing facility in Fort Myers, Florida. Our Hialeah (CGI), and Tampa (NewSouth), Florida facilities and our Phoenix, Arizona (WWS) and Clovis, California (Anlin) facilities primarily source their glass needs from external suppliers. As discussed in the section titled “Materials, Inventory and Supplier Relationships” above, our acquisition of a controlling ownership interest in Eco, which has been one of our glass suppliers before the acquisition, provides us with a high-quality, dependable supply of glass for a portion of our operations in Florida.

Glass is transported to our window and door assembly lines in a make-to-order sequence where it is combined with an aluminum or vinyl frame. These frames are also fabricated to order. We start with a piece of extruded material which is cut and shaped into a frame that fits the customers’ specifications. Once complete, product is immediately staged for delivery and generally shipped on our trucking fleet or with contracted carriers within 48 hours of completion.

With the Martin Acquisition, we added premium overhead garage doors to our product portfolio. Doors are designed and uniquely built to customer specifications using a variety of materials including aluminum extrusion, steel coil, and glass. Fabrication of materials usually starts within 24 hours of a customer order being received, and production usually takes two to three days to complete. Once complete, the door is staged for will-call pick-up or delivery via a third-party contracted delivery method.

Competition

The window and door industry is highly fragmented, and the competitive landscape is based on geography. The competition falls into the following categories.

Local and Regional Window and Door Manufacturers: This group of competitors consists of numerous local job shops and small manufacturing facilities that tend to focus on selling products to local or regional dealers and wholesalers. Competitors in this group typically lack marketing support and the service levels and quality controls demanded by larger customers, as well as the ability to offer a full complement of products.

National Window and Door Manufacturers: This group of competitors tends to focus on selling branded products nationally to dealers and wholesalers and has multiple locations.

International Window and Door Manufacturers: This group of competitors consists of non-U.S. companies that have created entities and established manufacturing operations within Florida and have an increasing presence in the South Florida region as suppliers of residential and commercial windows and doors.

Active Protection: This group of competitors consists of manufacturers that produce shutters and plywood, both of which are used to actively protect openings. Our impact-resistant windows and doors represent passive protection, meaning, once installed, no activity is required to protect a home from storm related hazards.

The principal methods of competition in the window and door industry are the development of long-term relationships with window and door dealers and distributors, and the retention of customers by delivering a full range of high-quality products in a timely manner, while offering competitive pricing and flexibility in transaction processing. Trade professionals such as contractors, homebuilders, architects and engineers also engage in direct interaction with manufacturers and look to the manufacturer for training and education related to products and codes. We believe our position as one of the leaders in the U.S. impact-resistant window and door market, and the innovative designs and quality of our products, position us well to meet the needs of our customers.

Environmental Considerations

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, and we believe that our facilities are in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

- 10 -

Human Capital Management

Employees. As of the end of 2022, we employed approximately 5,500 people, none of whom were represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe we have good relations with our employees.

Employee Safety. The safety of our team members is our top priority, and we have taken significant steps in recent years to drive improvements in this area. Some of these safety initiatives we have taken, include:

● Increasing the size, experience and other qualifications of our environment, health and safety, or “E&HS”, staff;

● Adopting an incident management system that records workplace injuries based on type and other classifications to provide the data to drive targeted corrective and preventative actions to address and mitigate actual and potential causes of injuries;

● Implementing proactive safety practices such as regular floor leader-led safety inspections of their work areas;

● Implementing ergonomics-related safety improvements, using an experience and risk-based approach to prioritize those improvements;

● Partnering with vendors to obtain high quality personal protective equipment and related training on how to appropriately utilize that equipment;

● Increasing workplace and compliance related safety training through the use of both virtual and classroom courses as well as on-the-floor safety discussions;

Labor Practices and Human Rights. All of our employees earn more than the federal minimum wage and we believe our hourly wages are competitive with the local communities in which our facilities operate. The average hourly wage, excluding incentive compensation, of a full-time hourly employee of the Company was approximately $19.12 as of December 31, 2022, as compared to $17.74 as of January 1, 2022, with approximately one-half of those hourly employees earning an average hourly wage of $18.00 or more. The average total compensation, including incentive compensation and benefits, for a full-time hourly employee of our Company in 2022 was approximately $52,000.

We strive to help our employees maintain job stability, so they are encouraged to stay with the Company and positioned to grow their skills and knowledge on the job. The 2022 annualized voluntary turnover rate in our workforce decreased slightly as

- 11 -

compared to 2021. In an effort to reduce employee turnover, we engage in annual surveys with employees, we maintain an open-door policy that enables us to help identify any issues before they cause an employee to leave the Company, and we review exit interview data, hotline calls and root cause analysis to help deter turnover. We also assign dedicated Company human resources representatives to each department so that we can better monitor employee morale within each department.

Workforce Diversity and Inclusion. We believe in being an inclusive workplace for all of our employees and are committed to having a diverse workforce that is representative of the communities in which we operate and sell our products. A variety of perspectives enriches our culture, leads to innovative solutions for our business and enables us to better meet the needs of a diverse customer base and reflects the communities we serve. Our aim is to develop inclusive leaders and an inclusive culture, while also recruiting, developing, mentoring, training, and retaining a diverse workforce, including a diverse group of management-level employees.

● PGT Innovations Leading Ladies, a program designed to identify, develop and mentor female employees who have demonstrated potential for serving as leaders within our organization;

● Annual Diversity & Inclusion Training; and

● Dale Carnegie, a program that helps our managers understand how to appreciate, respect and value individual differences and behaviors.

Additionally, we have a gender- and ethnically-diverse Board of Directors.

Benefits and Well-Being. We believe in offering career opportunities, resources, programs, and tools to help employees grow and develop, as well as competitive wages and benefits to retain them. Our efforts in these areas include:

● Offering platforms, including on-line and in-person professional growth and development training, to help employees develop their skills and grow their careers at the Company;

● Providing management development training to all of our management-level employees, including compliance, ethics and leadership training;

● Providing employees with recurring training on critical issues such as safety and security, compliance, ethics and integrity and information security;

● Gathering engagement feedback from our employees on a regular basis and responding to that feedback in a variety of ways including personal, one-on-one interactions, team meetings, leadership communications, and town hall meetings with employees, led by senior executives;

● Offering a tuition reimbursement program that provides eligible employees up to $50,000 lifetime for courses related to current or future roles at the Company;

● Offering health benefits for all eligible employees, including our eligible hourly employees;

● Providing confidential counseling for employees through our Employee Assistance Program;

● Providing paid time off to eligible employees;

● Matching employees’ 401(k) plan contributions of up to 3% of eligible pay after 3 months of service;

● Offering an employee stock purchase program for eligible employees; and

● Providing a Company-subsidized childcare center for the employees of our Venice, Florida facility, which is our largest location.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risk factors included herein are grouped into risks related to:

Moreover, other factors may adversely affect our results of operations, including potential liability under environmental and other laws and other unforeseen events, many of which are discussed elsewhere in the following risk factors. Any or all of these factors could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Risks Related to the COVID-19 pandemic

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

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”). The Pandemic resulted in a significant number of infections, hospitalizations and deaths around the world, including in the United States, and in several of our key markets. COVID-19 and its effects will likely continue to impact market conditions and business operations across industries worldwide. Therefore, we remain cautious about how the economy might behave for the next few years and continue to monitor potential impact on our operations. The extent to which the circumstances of the aftermath of the Pandemic, including the continued existence of the many variants of COVID-19 in society, could affect our future business, operations and financial results will depend upon numerous factors that we are not able to accurately predict. As such, we are unable to accurately predict the future impacts of COVID-19 on the U.S. and global economies.

The extent of the impact of the Pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition, including any goodwill or additional 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, variants 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.

Risks Related to Our Business Operations

We depend on hiring an adequate number of hourly employees to operate our business and are subject to government regulations concerning these and our other employees, including wage and hour regulations, and we may be required to increase the wages we pay in order to attract, hire and retain hourly employees needed to manufacture our products and otherwise conduct our operations, and we may not be able to recover that increase in labor costs through increasing the prices we charge for our products or otherwise.

Our workforce is comprised primarily of employees who work on an hourly basis. To grow our operations and meet the needs and expectations of our customers, we must attract, train, and retain a large number of hourly associates, while at the same time controlling labor costs. These positions have historically had high turnover rates, which can lead to increased training, retention and other costs. In certain areas where we operate, there is significant competition for employees. The lack of availability of an adequate number of hourly employees, or our inability to attract and retain them, including due to government stimulus payments or enhanced unemployment benefits enacted in response to the Pandemic, or us having to increase wages paid to new and/or to current employees to attract, hire and/or retain the labor resources necessary to conduct our operations, could adversely affect our business, results of

- 13 -

operations, cash flows and financial condition. We are subject to applicable rules and regulations relating to our relationship with our employees, including wage and hour regulations, health benefits, unemployment and payroll taxes, overtime and working conditions and immigration status. Accordingly, federal, state or locally legislated increases in the minimum wage, such as the passage of Florida’s “Amendment 2” minimum wage law in November 2020, as well as increases in additional labor cost components such as employee benefit costs, workers’ compensation insurance rates, compliance costs and fines, would increase our labor costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

A material portion of our business currently is geographically concentrated in Florida and that concentration increased with our acquisition of NewSouth and Eco.

Many of our manufacturing facilities, except for our Arizona, California and Utah facilities, are located in Florida, where the substantial portion of our sales are made. We believe that focusing operations into manufacturing locations in Florida optimized manufacturing efficiencies and logistics, and we believe that a focused approach to growing our market share within our core wind-borne debris markets in Florida, from the Gulf Coast to the mid-Atlantic, and certain international markets, will maximize value and return. Our acquisitions of NewSouth and Eco increased our manufacturing and sales concentration in Florida. Our manufacturing facilities in Arizona, California and Utah and the markets served by those businesses in the Western United States may not provide adequate geographic diversification for our business, as we expect that the primary concentration of our business will continue to be in Florida, and another prolonged decline in the economy of the state of Florida or of certain coastal regions, a change in state and local building code requirements for hurricane protection, or any other adverse condition in the state or certain coastal regions, could cause a decline in the demand for our products, which could have an adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.

We are subject to fluctuations in the prices of our raw materials which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We experience significant fluctuations in the cost of our raw materials, including glass, aluminum extrusion, vinyl extrusion, and polyvinyl butyral. During 2022, as inflationary conditions accelerated and persisted, we experienced increases in our costs of raw materials. In an attempt to offset these rising costs, we took action to increase prices and, as such, were largely successful in passing these increased costs onto our customers. However, we anticipate that these fluctuations will continue in the future. A variety of factors over which we have no control, including global demand for aluminum, fluctuations in oil prices, speculation in commodities futures, tariffs and the creation of new laminates or other products based on new technologies impact the cost of raw materials that we purchase for the manufacture of our products. These factors may also magnify the impact of economic cycles on our business. Although we endeavor from time to time to hedge the risks of fluctuations in the prices of our raw materials, or pass rising costs onto our customers by increasing the prices of our products, we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to successfully minimize our risk through such actions.

We rely on a limited number of outside suppliers for certain key components and materials.

We obtain a significant portion of our key raw materials, such as glass, aluminum and vinyl extrusion components, from a few key suppliers, and obtain the polyvinyl butyral interlayers used in certain of our products from a sole supplier. If any of these suppliers is unable to meet its obligations under present or any future supply agreements, or if those supply agreements are terminated, we may not be able to obtain certain raw materials on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and may suffer a significant interruption in our ability to manufacture our products, including because it may be difficult to find substitute or alternate suppliers as the glass, interlayers and aluminum and vinyl extrusions we use are customized. A supplier may also choose, subject to existing contracts, to modify its relationship due to general economic concerns or concerns relating to the supplier or us, at any time. These modifications could include requirements from our suppliers that we provide them additional security in the form of prepayments or letters of credit.

In addition, while our business does not currently rely heavily on international suppliers or sales, significant disruptions in global economic conditions, travel or trade, including as a result of contagious disease events, such as the Pandemic, may have material adverse impacts on our supply chain. Furthermore, some of our direct and indirect suppliers have unionized work forces, and strikes, work stoppages, or slowdowns experienced by these suppliers could result in slowdowns or closures of their facilities, which may impact our ability to fulfil orders or increase our costs.

Any interruption of supply or any price increase of raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. If we are required to obtain an alternate source for these materials or components, we may not be able to obtain pricing on as favorable terms or on terms comparable to our competitors. Additionally, we may be forced to pay additional transportation costs or to invest in capital projects or costly product redesigns and perform costly new product certification testing with respect to our impact-resistant products, in connection with moving to any alternate source of supply.

We could experience a delay between the increased cost to us to obtain these raw materials, and our ability to increase the price of our products. If we are unable to pass on significant cost increases to our customers, our results of operations between periods may

- 14 -

be negatively impacted. Any significant change in the terms that we have with our key suppliers or any interruption of supply or any price increase of raw materials could materially adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.

Economic and credit market conditions impact our ability to collect receivables.

Economic and credit conditions can negatively impact our bad debt expense, which can adversely impact our results of operations. Some of the markets we serve, which includes dealers whose customers are second and vacation home owners in the repair and remodeling sector, are more sensitive to changes in economic and credit conditions. If economic and credit conditions deteriorate, we may experience difficulties collecting on our accounts receivable, increasing our days sales outstanding and base debts owed to us, which could adversely impact our results of operations and business.

The industry in which we compete is highly competitive and we have experienced increased competition in our core market of Florida.

The window and door industry is highly competitive. We face significant competition from numerous small, regional producers, as well as certain national producers. Furthermore, the impact-resistant window and door market in our primary market of Florida has recently attracted domestic and foreign competitors. Any of these competitors may (i) foresee the course of market development more accurately than do we, (ii) develop products that are superior to our products, (iii) have the ability to produce similar products at a lower cost or compete more aggressively in pricing, or (iv) adapt more quickly to new technologies or evolving customer requirements than do we. Additionally, some of the competitors of our businesses are larger and have greater financial and other resources and less debt than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be better able to withstand changes in conditions within the industries and markets in which we operate and may have significantly greater operating and financial flexibility than we have. Moreover, barriers to entry are low in most product lines and new competitors may enter our industry, especially if the market for impact-resistant windows and doors continues to expand. An increase in competition, including in the form of aggressive pricing by new market entrants and offerings of alternative building materials, could cause us to lose customers and lead to decreases in net sales and profitability if we are not able to respond adequately to such challenges. To the extent we lose customers in the renovation and remodeling markets, we would likely have to market more to the new home construction market, which historically has experienced more significant fluctuations in demand.

We operate our own fleet of trucks, which we reply on to a great extent for distribution of our products. But we also rely, and expect to continue to rely on third-party transportation, which subjects us to risks and costs that we cannot control, and which risks and costs may materially adversely affect our profitability.

Although we operate a fleet of trucks which we rely on to a great extent for the distribution of our products, we also rely, and expect to continue to rely on third party trucking companies to transport raw materials to the manufacturing facilities used by each of our businesses and to ship finished products to customers. These transport operations are subject to various hazards and risks, including extreme weather conditions, work stoppages and operating hazards, as well as interstate transportation regulations. In addition, the methods of transportation we utilize may be subject to additional, more stringent and more costly regulations in the future. If we are delayed or unable to ship finished products or unable to obtain raw materials as a result of any such new regulations or public policy changes related to transportation safety, or these transportation companies fail to operate properly, or if there were significant changes in the cost of these services due to new or additional regulations, or otherwise, we may not be able to arrange efficient alternatives and timely means to obtain raw materials or ship goods, which could result in a material adverse effect on our revenues and costs of operations. Transportation costs represent a significant part of our cost structure. If our transportation costs increased substantially, due to prolonged increases in fuel prices or otherwise, we may not be able to control them or pass the increased costs onto customers, which may materially adversely affect our profitability.

Sales fluctuations to and changes in our relationships with key customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Some of our business lines and markets are dependent on a few key customers, including dealers. We generally do not enter into written or long-term agreements with our customers. The loss, reduction, or fluctuation of sales to one of these major customers, or any adverse change in our business relationship with any one or more of them, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Some of our key customers are companies that have experienced and may continue to experience consolidation in their ownership or expand through internal growth. Consolidation could decrease the number of potential customers for our products and increase our reliance on key customers. Further, any increase in the ownership concentration or size of our key customers could result in our key customers seeking more favorable terms, including pricing, for the products that they purchase from us. Accordingly, any increase in ownership concentration of our key customers or other increases in the size of our customers may further limit our ability to maintain or raise prices in the future. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

- 15 -

We are subject to the credit risk of our customers, suppliers, and other counterparties.

We are subject to the credit risk of our customers, because we provide credit to our customers in the normal course of business. All of our customers are sensitive to economic changes and to the cyclical nature of the building industry. Especially during protracted or severe economic declines and cyclical downturns in the building industry, our customers may be unable to perform on their payment obligations, including their debts to us. Any failure by our customers to meet their obligations to us may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, we may incur increased expenses related to collections in the future if we find it necessary to take legal action to enforce the contractual obligations of a significant number of our customers.

We conduct all of our operations through our subsidiaries and rely on payments from our subsidiaries to meet all of our obligations.

We are a holding company and derive all of our operating income from our subsidiaries. All of our assets are held by our subsidiaries, and we rely on the earnings and cash flows of our subsidiaries to meet our obligations. The ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us will depend on their respective operating results and may be restricted by, among other things, the laws of their jurisdictions of organization, which may limit the amount of funds available for distributions to us, the terms of existing and future indebtedness and other agreements of our subsidiaries, including our credit facilities and indenture, and the covenants of any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur.

Risks Related to Demand for Our Products

We are subject to regional and national economic conditions that may negatively impact demand for our products.

The window and door industry is subject to many economic factors. Changes in macroeconomic conditions in our core markets including Florida, with respect to our impact-resistant products, and in the western U.S., including California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii, with respect to our WWS products designed to unify indoor and outdoor living spaces, as well as throughout the U.S. generally, could negatively impact demand for our products and macroeconomic forces, such as employment rates and the availability of credit could have an adverse effect on our sales and results of operations. In addition, the window and door industry is subject to the cyclical market pressures of the larger new construction and repair and remodeling markets. A decline in the economic environment or new home construction, as well as any other adverse changes in economic conditions, including demographic trends, employment levels, interest rates, and consumer confidence, could result in a decline in demand for, or adversely affect the pricing of, our products, which in turn could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.

Changes in weather patterns, including as a result of global climate change, could significantly affect demand for our products, and thus, our sales and our financial results or financial condition.

Weather patterns may affect our operating results and our ability to maintain our sales volume throughout the year. Because our customers depend on suitable weather to engage in new construction and repair and remodel projects, increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions could result in a decrease in the demand for our products for periods of inclement weather, and have a material adverse effect on our financial results or financial condition. For example, unseasonably cool weather or extraordinary amounts of rainfall may decrease construction activity, thereby decreasing demand for our products and our sales during that period of time. Alternatively, extreme weather, such as hurricanes, has historically increased the visibility of our brands and customers’ demand for our impact-resistant products. Therefore, the lack of hurricane-related extreme weather conditions in a given year or over a period of time could result in a decrease of our sales and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Weather patterns are difficult to predict and may fluctuate as a result of numerous factors, including climate change, and we cannot guarantee that extreme weather conditions will or will not occur. Also, we cannot predict the effects that global climate change may have on our business. In addition to changes in weather patterns, climate change could, for example, reduce the demand for construction, and increase the cost and reduce the availability of construction materials, raw materials and energy. New laws and regulations related to global climate change may also increase our expenses or reduce our sales.

Our operating results are substantially dependent on demand for our branded impact-resistant products, contemporary indoor/outdoor window and door systems and factory-direct, energy-efficient residential windows and doors.

A majority of our net sales are derived from the sales of our branded impact-resistant products and on window and door systems for residential, commercial and multi-family markets. Accordingly, our future operating results will depend largely on the demand for our impact-resistant products by current and future customers, especially in the State of Florida, where the majority of our impact resistant products are made and sold. Our future operating results also will depend on demand for the contemporary indoor/outdoor window and door systems sold by our Western Window Systems business. Sales generated by our NewSouth business depend on a direct-to-consumer model and is supported by showrooms and in-home sales. Consequently, a portion of our future operating results are reliant on current and future customer demand for factory-direct, energy-efficient residential windows and doors.

- 16 -

If our competitors release new products that are superior to our products in performance or price, or if we fail to update our impact-resistant products with any technological advances that are developed by us or our competitors or introduce new products in a timely manner, demand for our products may decline. In addition, the window and door industry can be subject to changing trends and consumer preferences. If we do not correctly gauge consumer trends for the various products and systems we offer and respond appropriately, customers may not purchase our products and our brand names may be impaired. Even if we react appropriately to changes in trends and consumer preferences, consumers may consider our brands or product designs to be outdated or associate our brands or product designs with styles that are no longer popular. Any of these outcomes could create significant excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities for other products, which would have a material adverse effect on our brands, our business, results of operations and financial condition. A decline in demand for our impact-resistant products, our contemporary indoor/outdoor window and door systems or our direct-to-consumer, energy-efficient residential windows and doors as a result of competition, technological change, changes in consumer preferences or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate sales, which could materially negatively affect our results of operations.

Our business is subject to seasonal industry patterns and demand for our products, and thus our revenue and profit, can vary significantly throughout the year, which may adversely impact the timing of our cash flows and limit our liquidity at certain times of the year.

Our business is seasonal, and our net revenues and operating results vary significantly from quarter to quarter based upon the timing of the building season in our markets. Our sales typically follow seasonal new construction and the repair and remodel industry patterns. Additionally, events like preparation for hurricane season and rebuilding and repairs in the months following a hurricane in the majority of the geographies where we market and sell our products generally creates peak demand for our products and resulting sale volumes during the quarters in which those activities occur. Other quarterly sales volumes might be generally lower due to reduced repair and remodeling and new construction activity as a result of less favorable climate conditions in the majority of our geographic end markets. Failure to effectively manage our demand and production planning, inventory and overall operations in anticipation of or in response to seasonal fluctuations or changing seasonal fluctuations as a result of climate change, could negatively impact our liquidity profile during certain seasonal periods.

Changes in building codes could reduce the demand for our impact-resistant windows and doors, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

The market for our impact-resistant windows and doors depends in large part on our ability to satisfy state and local building codes that require protection from wind-borne debris. If the standards in such building codes become more stringent, we may not be able to meet their requirements, and demand for our products could decline. Conversely, if the standards in such building codes are lowered or are not enforced in certain areas because of industry lobbying or otherwise, demand for our impact-resistant products may decrease. In addition, if states and regions that are affected by hurricanes but do not currently have such building codes fail to adopt and enforce hurricane protection building codes, our ability to expand our business in such markets may be limited. We are also subject to energy efficiency codes and performance standards in Colorado, California and other states where we operate, several of which are more stringent than those to which we have historically been subject. Any such changes in building codes or energy efficiency codes could lower the demand for our impact-resistant windows and doors, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

The homebuilding industry and the home repair and remodeling sector are subject to various local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning zoning, building design and safety, construction, and similar matters, including regulations that impose restrictive zoning and density requirements in order to limit the number of homes that can be built within the boundaries of a particular area. Increased regulatory restrictions could limit demand for new homes and home repair and remodeling products and could negatively affect our sales and results of operations.

We may be adversely impacted by the loss of sales or market share if we are unable to keep up with demand.

We are currently experiencing growth through higher sales volume and growth in market share. To meet the increased demand, we have been hiring and training new employees for direct and indirect support and adding to our glass capacity. However, should we be unable to find and retain quality employees to meet demand, or should there be disruptions to the increase in capacity for the raw materials needed to produce our products, we may be unable to keep up with our higher sales demand. If our lag time on delivery falls behind, or we are unable to meet customer timing demands, we could lose market share to competitors.

Risks Related to Acquisitions

Our recently completed acquisitions may result in, or involve activities that cause, distractions to our management team, increased expenses or unanticipated liabilities.

As a result of our acquisitions of NewSouth, 75% ownership stake in Eco, CRi SoCal, Inc., Anlin, and Martin, we have significantly more sales, assets and employees than we did prior to the transactions, which may require our management to devote a significant amount of time, resources and attention to the new product offerings or novel challenges, and/or away from the operations of our historical windows and doors business. These potential diversions and distractions may result in, or involve activities that cause, increased expenses and unanticipated liabilities.

After the Eco Acquisition, the Company is the majority shareholder of Eco, and our interest in Eco is subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of businesses with a minority shareholder.

Pursuant to the acquisition agreement pursuant to which we acquired a 75% ownership stake in Eco, principal Eco equity-holder prior to our acquisition continues to hold 25% of the outstanding equity interests of Eco. Conducting a business with a minority investor may lead to one or more of the following circumstances, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to realize a profit on our equity interest in the Eco businesses, which could have a material adverse impact on our future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition:

There can be no assurance that the Eco Acquisition will be beneficial to us, whether due to the above-described risks, unfavorable economic conditions, integration challenges or other factors.

All of the Eco entities in which we acquired a controlling interest are designated as unrestricted subsidiaries under our existing senior secured credit facilities and indenture and are not subject to the restrictive covenants under such agreements.

All of the Eco entities in which we acquired a controlling interest have been designated as unrestricted subsidiaries under our existing senior secured credit facilities and indenture. As a result, those entities are not subject to the restrictive covenants in the indenture and are able to engage in many of the activities that we and our restricted subsidiaries are prohibited or limited from undertaking under the terms of the indenture. These actions, if undertaken by Eco, could be detrimental to our ability to make payments of principal and interest under the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029.

If we do not realize the expected benefits from our recent acquisitions, including synergies, from acquisitions, our business and results of operations will suffer.

Acquisitions may cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of our other businesses. If our management is not able to effectively manage the integration process, or if any significant business activities are interrupted as a result of the integration process, our business could suffer and its liquidity, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely impacted. In addition, as we continue our integration activities, we may identify additional risks and uncertainties not yet known to us.

Even if we are able to successfully integrate and position the business operations of our recent acquisitions and our legacy businesses, it may not be possible to realize the full benefits of the increased sales volume and other benefits, including synergies, that we expected to result from recent acquisitions, or realize these benefits within the time frame that is expected. For example, the elimination of duplicative costs may not be possible or may take longer than anticipated, or the benefits from these recent acquisitions may be offset by costs incurred or delays in integrating the companies. In addition, even if such acquisitions are successfully integrated, we may become subject to unexpected costs, charges or liabilities arising from such businesses. Our expected cost savings, as well as any revenue or other strategic synergies, are subject to significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. If we fail to realize the

- 18 -

benefits, we anticipated from our recent acquisitions, our liquidity, results of operations or financial condition may be adversely effected.

We may evaluate and engage in asset acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures and other transactions that may impact our results of operations, and we may not achieve the expected results from these transactions.

From time to time, and subject to the agreements governing our then existing debt or otherwise, we may enter into agreements to and engage in business combinations, purchases of assets or contractual arrangements or joint ventures, including in geographical areas outside the state of Florida, with which we do not have the level of familiarity that we have with the Florida market. In addition, some of those business acquisitions or combinations could involve a seller whose products may be different from the types of products we currently sell, and they could be products that are sold to different types of customers. Subject to the agreements governing our then existing debt or otherwise, some of these transactions may be financed with additional borrowings. The integration of any business we may acquire may be disruptive to us and may result in a significant diversion of management attention and operational resources. Additionally, we may suffer a loss of key employees, customers or suppliers, loss of revenues, increases in costs or other difficulties. If the expected revenue enhancement plans, strategies, goals, efficiencies and synergies from any such transactions are not fully realized, our results of operations could be adversely affected, because of the costs associated with such transactions or otherwise. Other transactions may advance future cash flows from some of our businesses, thereby yielding increased short-term liquidity, but consequently resulting in lower cash flows from these operations over the longer term. In addition, if the goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, or other intangible assets that we have acquired or may acquire in the future are determined to be impaired, we may be required to record a non-cash charge to earnings during the period in which the impairment is determined, which could be significant. The failure to realize the expected long-term benefits of any one or more of these transactions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our business and financial condition and prevent us from meeting our debt obligations.

Our total gross indebtedness is $651.4 million, including $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes we issued on September 24, 2021, and $76.4 million under our new $250.0 million revolving credit facility entered into in October 2022 (the "New Revolving Credit Facility"), under which we had $167.9 million available for borrowing at December 31, 2022.

Although our senior secured credit facilities and indenture contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial.

This high level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including:

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments, including the senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing our outstanding notes, may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations.

Our debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

Our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the senior notes contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things:

• incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred equity;

• pay dividends on, repurchase, or make distributions in respect of our common stock, prepay, redeem, or repurchase certain debt or make other restricted payments;

• make certain investments including potential acquisitions;

• create certain liens;

• enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to us;

• consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and

• enter into certain transactions with our affiliates.

In addition, the restrictive covenants in our senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial condition tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests will depend on our ongoing financial and operating performance, which, in turn, will be subject to economic conditions and to financial, market, and competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control.

A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under one or more of these agreements, including as a result of cross default provisions and, in the case of the senior secured credit facilities, permit the lenders to cease making loans to us. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the senior secured credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under senior secured credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. Such action by the lenders could cause cross defaults under the indenture governing the notes. For a description of our senior secured credit facilities, see Footnote 9 to our audited consolidated financial statements included herein.

If our operating performance declines, we may be required to seek to obtain waivers from the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities or from the holders of other obligations, to avoid defaults thereunder. If we are not able to obtain such waivers, the lenders could exercise their rights upon default, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Furthermore, if we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under our senior secured credit facilities, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure our borrowings thereunder. We have pledged substantially all of our assets as collateral under our senior secured credit facilities. If the lenders under senior secured credit facilities accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay our senior secured credit facilities and our other indebtedness, including the notes, or will have the ability to borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness. Even if we were able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to us.

Variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Our borrowings under the existing senior secured credit facilities are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. For example, the Federal Reserve has increased its benchmark interest rate multiple times in 2022 in a bid to reduce rising inflation rates in the United States, and it is expected that additional rate hikes may be adopted in the future. As interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income decreases. The applicable margin with respect to the loans under the senior secured credit facilities is a percentage per annum equal to a reference rate plus the applicable margin.

From time to time in order to manage our exposure to interest rate risk, we may enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and caps, involving the exchange of floating for fixed rate and fixed for floating rate interest payments. If we are unable to enter into interest rate swaps when necessary, it may adversely affect our cash flow and may impact our ability to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness.

A lowering or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to our debt securities by rating agencies may increase our future borrowing costs and reduce our access to capital.

Our debt currently has a non-investment grade rating, and there can be no assurance that any rating assigned by the rating agencies to our debt or our corporate rating will remain for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in that rating agency’s judgment, future circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes, so warrant. A lowering or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to our debt securities by rating agencies may increase our future borrowing costs and reduce our access to capital, which could have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the notes.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments, including the senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes, may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations.

Risks Related to Information Systems and Intellectual Property

We may be adversely affected by any disruption in our information technology systems or by unauthorized intrusions or “hacking” into those systems and theft of confidential and sensitive information from them, or other cybersecurity-related incidents.

Our operations are dependent upon our information technology systems, which encompass all of our major business functions. A disruption in our information technology systems for any prolonged period could result in delays in receiving inventory and supplies or filling customer orders and adversely affect our customer service and relationships. Various third parties, including computer hackers, who are continually becoming more aggressive and sophisticated, may attempt to penetrate our network security and, if successful, misappropriate confidential and sensitive customer, employee and/or supplier information. Such attempts may include malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, unauthorized access, human error, theft or misconduct. For example, as previously disclosed on November 5, 2022, we detected a ransomware infection that impacted portions of our network and caused disruption to daily business operations. In addition, one of our employees, contractors or other third parties with whom we do business may attempt to circumvent our security measures in order to obtain such information, or inadvertently cause a breach involving such information. While we have implemented systems and processes to protect against unauthorized access to or use of secured data and to prevent data loss and theft, there is no guarantee that these procedures are adequate to safeguard against all

- 21 -

data security breaches or misuse of the data. Security breaches could also harm our reputation with our customers and retail partners, potentially leading to decreased revenues, and with federal and state government agencies and bodies.

The regulatory environment related to cybersecurity, data collection and use, and privacy is increasingly rigorous, with new and frequently changing requirements, and compliance with those requirements could result in additional costs. Our business and results of operations may be directly and adversely affected by future legislative, regulatory, or judicial actions. A significant compromise of confidential and sensitive employee, customer or supplier information in our possession could result in legal damages and regulatory fines and penalties. The costs associated with cybersecurity, such as increased investment in technology, the costs of compliance with privacy laws, and costs incurred to prevent or remediate information security breaches and defend against any related actions, could be substantial and adversely impact our business.

Operation on multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) information systems, and the conversion from multiple systems to a single system, may negatively impact our operations.

We are highly dependent on our ERP information systems infrastructure in order to process orders, track inventory, ship products in a timely manner, prepare invoices to our customers, maintain regulatory compliance and otherwise carry on our business in the ordinary course. We currently operate on eight different ERP information systems. Since we must process and reconcile our information from multiple systems, the chance of errors is increased, and we may incur significant additional costs related thereto. Inconsistencies in the information from multiple ERP systems could adversely impact our ability to manage our business efficiently and may result in heightened risk to our ability to maintain our books and records and comply with regulatory requirements. Any of the foregoing could result in a material increase in information technology compliance or other related costs and could materially negatively impact our operations. In the future, we may transition all or a portion of our systems to one ERP system. The transition to a different ERP system involves numerous risks, including:

Any of the foregoing could result in a material increase in information technology compliance or other related costs and could materially negatively impact our operations.

Other parties may infringe on our intellectual property rights or may allege that we have infringed on theirs.

Competitors or other third parties may infringe on or otherwise make unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, including product designs, manufacturing practices, registered intellectual property and other rights. We rely on a variety of measures to protect our intellectual property and proprietary information. However, these measures may not prevent misappropriation, infringement or other violations of our intellectual property or proprietary information and a resulting loss of competitive advantage. If we determine that such infringement or violation has occurred, legal action to enforce our rights may require us to spend significant amounts in legal costs, even if we ultimately prevail.

Conversely, given the nature of our business and product designs, competitors or other third parties may allege that we, or consultants or other third parties retained or indemnified by us, have infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated their intellectual property rights. Even though we believe such claims and allegations of intellectual property infringement or violations would be without merit, defending against such claims would be time consuming and expensive and could result in the diversion of time and attention of our management and employees. Given the rapidly changing and highly competitive business environment in which we operate, and the increasingly complex designs of our products and other companies’ similar products, the outcome of any contemplated intellectual property-related litigation would be difficult to predict and could cause us to lose significant revenue, to be prohibited from using the relevant designs, systems, processes, technologies or other intellectual property, to cease offering certain products or services or to incur significant license, royalty or technology development expenses.

Risks Related to Warranty, Legal and Regulatory Matters

The nature of our business exposes us to product liability, warranty and other claims.

We are, from time to time, involved in product liability, product warranty and other claims relating to the products we manufacture and distribute that, if adversely determined, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, we may be exposed to potential claims arising from the conduct of homebuilders and home remodelers and their

- 22 -

sub-contractors. Although we currently maintain what we believe to be suitable and adequate insurance in excess of our self-insured amounts, we may not be able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms or such insurance may not provide adequate protection against potential liabilities. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Claims of this nature could also have a negative impact on customer confidence in our products and our company.

We are subject to potential exposure to environmental liabilities and are subject to environmental regulation.

We are subject to various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations. Although we believe that our facilities are in material compliance with such laws, ordinances, 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. Remediation may be required in the future as a result of spills or releases of petroleum products or hazardous substances, the discovery of unknown environmental conditions, or more stringent standards regarding existing residual contamination. More burdensome environmental regulatory requirements may increase our general and administrative costs and may increase the risk that we may incur fines or penalties or be held liable for violations of such regulatory requirements.

From time to time we are subject to legal and regulatory proceedings which seek material damages from us. These proceedings may be negatively perceived by the public and materially and adversely affect our business.

We are subject to legal and regulatory proceedings from time to time which may result in material damages. Although we do not presently believe that any of our current legal or regulatory proceedings will ultimately have a material adverse impact on our financial performance or operations, we cannot assure you that we will not incur material damages or penalties in a lawsuit or other proceeding in the future and/or significant defense costs related to such lawsuits or regulatory proceedings. For example, many of our products are installed in large, multi-unit condominiums or apartments or similar developments, and we may face legal claims for breach of warranties or other claims alleging product defects on a large-scale in connection with such projects. Also, we operate a fleet of delivery trucks and, in addition to the significant compliance-related costs associated with operating such a fleet, we may incur significant adverse judgments, damages and penalties related to accidents that those trucks may be involved in from time to time. Significant adverse judgments, penalties, settlement amounts, amounts needed to post a bond pending an appeal or defense costs could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources. It is also possible that, as a result of a present or future governmental or other proceeding or settlement, significant restrictions will be placed upon, or significant changes made to, our business practices, operations or methods, including pricing or similar terms. Any such restrictions or changes may adversely affect our profitability or increase our compliance costs.

Our Bylaws contain an exclusive forum provision that may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors and officers.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (our “Bylaws”) provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) an action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our exclusive forum provision is not intended to apply to any actions brought under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the exclusive forum provision in our Bylaws will not relieve us of our duties to comply with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, and our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with these laws, rules and regulations.

This forum selection provision may limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. It is also possible that, notwithstanding the forum selection clause included in our certificate of incorporation, a court could rule that such a provision is inapplicable or unenforceable.

Item 2. Properties

We had the following properties as of December 31, 2022:

In addition to the above owned and leased properties, we also own three parcels of undeveloped land in North Venice, Florida, available for future construction needs we may have.

Our major property leases above expire between May 2023 and June 2035. Many of our property leases require us to pay taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses associated with the properties.

All of our owned properties secure borrowings under our credit agreement (dated February 16, 2016, as amended by the first amendment thereto, dated as of February 17, 2017, the second amendment thereto, dated as of March 16, 2018, the third amendment thereto, dated October 31, 2019, the fourth amendment thereto dated October 25, 2021, and the fifth amendment dated October 12, 2022, as otherwise amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “2016 Credit Agreement due 2027”). We believe these operating facilities are adequate in capacity and condition to service existing customer needs.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

None.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On May 22, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program of up to $30.0 million. The repurchases may be made in open-market or private transactions from time to time. Repurchases of shares may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit repurchases when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under applicable laws. The Company bases repurchase decisions, including the timing of repurchases, on factors such as the Company’s stock price, general economic and market conditions, the potential impact on the Company’s capital structure, the expected return on competing uses of capital such as strategic acquisitions and capital investments, and other corporate considerations, as determined by management. During the third quarter of 2019, we made repurchases of 393,819 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $5.5 million under this program. We made no repurchases under this program during 2020 or 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we made repurchases of 86,124 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $1.6 million under this program. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The following table presents information regarding the total number of shares repurchased, average price paid per share, the number of shares repurchased under the program, and maximum approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the plan, by fiscal month for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022:

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 8. Management's Discussion and Analysis comparing the results for the year ended January 1, 2022, to the results for the year ended January 2, 2021 can be found in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) for the year ended January 1, 2022, filed with the SEC on June 10, 2022, which is hereby incorporated by reference. In the comparisons which follow, the years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 each consisted of 52 weeks.

Our MD&A is presented in the following sections:

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Sales and Operations

During 2022, we grew at both our Southeast and Western segments, as the momentum of growth we experienced last year continued in 2022. Additionally, we continued to make strategic marketing investments which have paid dividends through customer awareness during the 2022 repair and remodeling season. Our total net sales for 2022 were $1,492.0 million, increased 28.5% compared to $1,161.5 million in 2021, and included solid organic sales growth. Sales growth at our Southeast segment was entirely organic, while sales growth at our Western segment was both organic and from acquisitions.

Our Southeast segment's net sales were $1,110.4 million in 2022, compared to $968.7 million in 2021, an increase of $141.7 million, or 14.6%. We believe this growth is primarily due to the realization of pricing actions taken to offset cost inflation and improvements in operations resulting increased capacity. Also, our NewSouth brand continued to perform well, and benefitted from organic growth in our main market of Florida, but also the expansion of our direct-to-consumer footprint in markets outside of Florida as we are in various stages of adding new retail locations to our existing list of stores.

Although Hurricane Ian negatively impacted our 2022 third quarter, and our 2022 fourth quarter by shifting sales into the 2023 fiscal year, one of the biggest events that occurred recently was the passage of Florida House Bill 7071, signed into law in May 2022. This bill provides two-year tax relief to Florida residences who choose to "harden" their homes against the damaging effects of storms by investing in impact-resistant windows, doors, and other product categories. We're excited about this great benefit for Florida homeowners which we believe will provide them with the incentive needed to improve the safety and value of their homes, and that their materials of choice will include impact-resistant windows and doors from our portfolio of Florida impact-resistant brands. We believe our Florida operations are benefitting from this home-hardening legislation, the main highlight of which includes a sales tax exemption for Floridians that harden their homes against natural disasters using impact-resistant products like those sold by us, which is available through June 2024.

Our Western segment's net sales were $381.6 million in 2022, compared to $192.8 million in 2021, an increase of $188.8 million, or 98.0%. While sales for 2022 of our Western segment includes acquisition growth from Anlin, CRi, and Martin, our existing business saw strong organic growth compared to last year. We believe the strength in our Western segment is due to our production builder business as this sector has performed well for several quarters, as we believe that demand for conversion to indoor/outdoor living continues to be strong. We believe we are also benefitting from our capacity expansion in the Phoenix, Arizona area and our new San Diego showroom in Southern California. We believe the organic growth we had in 2022 reflects the strength of our portfolio of brands across our entire geographic footprint.

Our gross profit increased to $570.7 million in 2022, producing a gross margin of 38.2%, compared to $403.5 million in 2021, which produced a gross margin of 34.7%, an improvement in gross margin of 350 basis points from 2021 to 2022. We were able to

- 28 -

produce this operational improvement, despite headwinds of inflationary pressure being felt on material and labor costs. We also benefitted from price increases implemented earlier in the year to offset such inflationary headwinds. During 2022, we continued to focus on improving our manufacturing processes in order to reduce lead-times to meet the continued growing demand. Prior to Hurricane Ian, during the third quarter of 2022, we were able to reduce our average lead times by 40% to 50% in our primary brands compared to the third quarter of 2021. Recent investments in our team to help achieve higher talent levels have also helped generate improved operational efficiencies across our entire portfolio of brands. We believe the combination of improved operational performance we achieved prior to Hurricane Ian, reduced lead times and previously implemented price increases benefitted our gross margin in 2022.

Our backlog, which we define as customer orders that we have accepted but not yet shipped, has decreased significantly, to $228.8 million as of December 31, 2022, from $355.9 million as of January 2, 2021. The majority of this decrease in backlog resulted from an increase in the Company’s overall production capacity, with corresponding lower lead times, despite the disruption caused by hurricane Ian, as the level of order entries during 2022, compared to 2021 remained relatively flat.

Liquidity and Cash Flow

During 2022, we generated $196.4 million in cash flow from operations, an increase of $132.7 million, or 208.3% compared to $63.7 million in 2021. The significant increase in cash generated from operations in 2022 we believe is the result of the cash flow leverage provided by increased profitability in 2022 compared to 2021. As a result of this leverage, after drawing down $160.0 million under the New Revolving Credit Facility on October 12, 2022, the proceeds from which were used to fund the cash portion of the Martin Acquisition of $98.4 million, and $61.6 million to paydown term loan borrowings under the then existing 2016 Credit Agreement due 2024 of $60.0 million, plus $1.6 million of accrued interest and fees, during the post-acquisition period from October 14, 2022 to the end of 2022, we were able to repay borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility totaling $83.6 million.

We ended the 2022 fiscal year with $66.5 million in cash, We have no scheduled debt repayment obligations until the maturity of our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2027, and had $167.9 million in availability under the revolving credit facility under our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2027, which does not expire until October 2027. Additionally, during the early part of 2023 to the date of this report, we were able to make additional repayment of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility totaling $12.4 million, resulting in borrowings outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility of $64.0 million as of the date of this report.

Cash generated from operations was generally used to fund operations and investing cash flows, which was primarily composed of capital expenditures in 2022 and, as discussed above, fund the Martin Acquisition and repay borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility. During 2022, our capital spending increased to $45.4 million, compared to $33.4 million in 2021, an increase of $12.0 million in cash used.

Full Year 2022 Compared with Full Year 2021

Net sales

Net sales for 2022 were $1,492.0 million, a $330.5 million, or 28.5%, increase in sales, from $1,161.5 million in the prior year.

The following table shows net sales by segment (in millions, except percentages):

During 2022, we experienced solid growth at both our Southeast and Western segments, as the momentum of growth we experienced in 2021, continued in 2022. Additionally, we continue to make strategic marketing investments which are paying dividends through customer awareness during the repair and remodeling season. Of our total net sales for 2022 of $1,492.0 million, which increased 28.5% compared to $1,161.5 million in 2021, growth was both organic and from acquisitions. Net sales of our Southeast segment were $1,110.4 million in 2022, compared with $968.7 million in 2021, an increase of $141.7 million, or 14.6%. This growth included strong organic growth, but we believe was adversely impacted by Hurricane Ian in late-September 2022. Hurricane Ian was a large and destructive Category 4 Atlantic hurricane that made landfall on the southwest Florida coastline at Cayo Costa on September 28, 2022, disrupting our ability to manufacture and distribute our products.

Net sales of our Western segment were $381.6 million in 2022, compared with $192.8 million in 2021, an increase of $188.8 million, or 98.0%. While sales for 2022 of our Western segment includes acquisition growth, our existing business saw strong organic growth as well. We believe the strength in our Western segment is due to our production builder business as this sector has performed well for several quarters, as we believe that demand for conversion to indoor/outdoor living continues to be strong. We believe we are also benefitting from our capacity expansion in the Phoenix, Arizona area and our new San Diego showroom in Southern California.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit was $570.7 million in 2022, an increase of $167.2 million, or 41.4%, from $403.5 million in the prior year. Gross margin was 38.2% in 2022, compared to 34.7% in the prior year, a percentage-point increase of 3.5%. The increases in gross profit and gross margin include the effects of price increase actions we took to offset the impacts of labor and material cost headwinds we have experienced for several quarters. Also, during 2022, we maintained a high degree of focus on our supply chain to minimize disruptions, which helped us maintain a high level of operational efficiency which lead to reduced delivery lead-times. We also continued to invest in our labor talent which helped generate operational efficiencies across all our businesses in response to increasing demand and believe these actions will continue to benefit our gross margin as we try to offset the impacts of rising costs for materials and labor, and will continue to grow our company with high-quality talent.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A expenses for 2022 were $402.9 million, an increase of $99.8 million, or 32.9%, from $303.0 million in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 27.0% in 2022, compared to 26.1% in 2021. The increase in SG&A is partially due to the inclusion of SG&A from our acquisitions in 2021 for the full year of 2022. However, the year-over-year increase in SG&A was also driven by increasing distribution and variable overhead costs due to the increase in sales, increased fuel costs, inflationary conditions, as well as costs related to disruptions and recovery efforts caused by Hurricane Ian.

Impairment of trade name

There was an impairment of our WinDoor trade name of $7.4 million in 2022. Because of a recent decrease in sales of our WinDoor brand and given the narrow excess of fair value over carrying value of our WinDoor trade name in our prior quantitative test of the WinDoor trade name as a result of these events. The WinDoor impairment assessment was conducted as of the first day of our fourth quarter of 2022.

Income from operations

Income from operations was $160.4 million in 2022, an increase of $59.9 million, or 59.6%, from $100.5 million in 2021. Income from operations in 2022 includes $112.6 million from our Southeast segment and $55.2 million from our Western segment, compared to $74.8 million and $25.6 million from our Southeast and Western segments, respectively, in 2021, all after allocation of

corporate operating costs in both periods. Income from operations in 2022 was also impacted by an impairment charge of $7.4 million in 2022 The increase in income from operations was related to the benefit from higher sales in 2022 compared to last year, as well as the benefits of the continued efficiency improvements at both our Southeast and Western segments, more than offsetting the rising costs due to inflationary conditions.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $28.9 million in 2022, a decrease of $1.1 million from $30.0 million in 2021. The redemption of the $425.0 million of higher rate 6.75% 2018 Senior Notes due 2026, with the $575.0 million of lower rate 4.375% 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 in 2021 primarily resulted in a lower level of interest expense in 2022 compared to 2021.

Debt extinguishment costs

Debt extinguishment costs totaled $0.4 in 2022, compared to $25.5 million in 2021. In 2022, we repaid our term loan borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement, resulting in a write-off of its remaining deferred financing costs. In 2021, on September 24, 2021, we completed the issuance of $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% 2021 Senior Notes due 2029, issued at 100% of their principal amount. Redemption in-full of the $425.0 million of 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 included a pre-payment call premium of 105.063% of face value, which totaled $21.5 million and is classified as debt extinguishment costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 1, 2022. The remainder of debt extinguishment costs of $4.0 million is composed of $9.4 million of unamortized third-party deferred costs and lender fees relating to the 2021 Senior Notes due 2026, including the First and Second Add-On Notes, offset by $5.4 million of unamortized premiums we received from the First and Second Add-On Notes.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $32.7 million for 2022, representing an effective tax rate of 24.9%. This compares to income tax expense of $9.8 million for 2021, representing an effective tax rate of 21.7%. Our income tax expense for 2022 includes $1.2 million relating to our 75% share of the pre-tax earnings of Eco, compared to $1.7 million in 2021.

Income tax expense in both 2022 and 2021 includes components of income tax benefit relating to excess tax benefits from the lapses of restrictions on stock awards and from research and development tax credits true-up adjustments. Income tax expense in 2022 also includes a refund from the state of Florida, relating to excess taxes received by the state in 2021. The components of income tax benefitting income tax expense totaled $1.1 million in 2022, and totaled $1.3 million in 2021. Excluding discrete components of income tax, the effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2022, would have been income tax expense rates of 25.8% and 24.6%, respectively. The increase primarily relates to the increase in Florida's state income tax rate in 2022, to 5.5%, from 3.535% in 2021.

Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest

Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest for 2022 was $1.5 million, compared to $2.3 million for 2021, and represents the share of the net income of Eco for the periods, attributable to the 25% interest of Eco not acquired by the Company in February 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated by operations, supplemented by borrowing capacity under our New Revolving Credit Facility, if ever needed. We believe our cash generating capability will continue to provide us with financial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs. Our primary capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, and to meet required debt payments, including debt service payments on borrowings and fund capital expenditures.

Consolidated Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow results for 2022 and 2021:

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $196.4 million for 2022, compared to $63.7 million for 2021.

The increase in cash flows from operations of $132.7 million in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to the changes in operating cash flows, including an increase of $416.3 million in collections from customers in 2022 compared to 2021, as the result of increased sales, which was partially offset by an increase in payments to suppliers of $210.4 million as the result of higher procurement of inventory, an increase in personnel related disbursements of $71.4 million due to a larger number of employees during 2022, compared to 2021, and an increase in debt service costs of $4.7 million in 2022, compared to 2021, primarily as a result of the issuance of the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029, and the higher level of notes outstanding thereunder as compared to the recently pre-paid 2018 Senior Notes due 2026. Also, net tax payments increased $9.3 million in 2022, compared to 2021. Other collections of cash and other cash activity, net, increased by $2.8 million. Other collections of cash primarily relate to sales of scrap aluminum.

Direct cash flows from operations for 2022 and 2021 are presented below:

Inventory as of December 31, 2022, was $112.7 million, an increase of $21.2 million from January 1, 2022. The increase in inventory on had primarily relates to the Martin Acquisition.

Our inventory consists principally of raw materials purchased for the manufacture of our products and limited finished goods inventory as the majority of our products are custom, made-to-order products. Our inventory levels are more closely aligned with our number of product offerings rather than our level of sales. We have maintained our inventory level to have (i) raw materials required to support new product launches; (ii) a sufficient level of safety stock on certain items to ensure an adequate supply of material in the event of a sudden increase in demand and given our short lead-times; and (iii) adequate lead times for raw materials purchased from overseas suppliers in bulk supply. Inventory turns for the year ended December 31, 2022, was 9.0 times, on par with 10.0 times for the year ended January 1, 2022.

Management monitors and evaluates 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 the majority of our products are made-to-order, we have only a small amount of finished goods and work in progress inventory. Due to these factors, we believe our inventories are not excessive, and we expect the value of such inventories will be realized.

Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $233.9 million in 2022, compared to $253.9 million in 2021 a decrease in cash used of $20.0 million. We used $188.6 million of cash to acquire a business in 2022, compared with cash used for acquisitions in 2021 of $220.7 million, a decrease in cash used for acquisitions of $32.1 million. Also, in 2022, we used cash of $45.4 million for capital expenditures, compared to $33.4 million in 2021, an increase of $12.0 million in cash used. Finally, in 2022, we received proceeds of $37 thousand from the sales of property, plant and equipment, compared to $187 thousand in 2021, a decrease of $150 thousand in cash proceeds received from sales of property, plant and equipment.

- 33 -

Financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $7.9 million in 2022, compared with cash provided of $186.1 million in 2021, a decrease in cash provided of $178.1 million. On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment of the 2016 Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment provides for, among other things, a new five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). Contemporaneously with the Fifth Amendment, the Company drew down $160.0 million of funds available under the New Revolving Credit Facility. Proceeds totaling $61.6 million from the $160.0 million drawdown were used to repay then existing term loan borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement totaling $60.0 million, plus accrued interest and fees totaling $1.6 million. The Company made repayments of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility totaling $83.6 million through December 31, 2022. We paid financing costs totaling $1.5 million in 2022, including financing costs relating to bank fees relating to the New Revolving Credit Facility.

In 2022, we made payments of contingent consideration relating to our acquisition of Anlin totaling $2.7 million, representing the first payment we were required to make under the Anlin purchase agreement based on their 2021 EBITDA, as defined in the agreement. Because these payments were not required to be made within a reasonably short period of time after the effective date of the acquisition, we classified the portion of these payments representing the fair value of the first payment, which was $2.4 million, as a financing activity, with the difference classified within operating activities.

As further discussed below under Share Repurchase Program, during the fourth quarter of 2022, we made repurchases of 86,124 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $1.6 million under this program. We made a distribution to the non-controlling interest relating to ECO of $1.7 million in 2022.

In 2021, we issued $575.0 million in 4.375% 2021 Senior Notes due 2029, as well as the $60.0 million of Second Additional Senior Notes, including a premium of $3.3 million with the Second Additional Notes, which provided proceeds from issuances of senior notes in 2021 totaling $638.3 million. Proceeds from the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 were used, in part, to redeem in full the $425.0 million of 2018 Senior Notes due 2026, plus a pre-payment call premium of 105.063% of face value, which totaled $21.5 million, classified as debt extinguishment costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for 2021. We also prepaid the outstanding term loan borrowings under the then existing 2016 Credit Agreement due 2024 of $54.0 million, and subsequently reborrowed $60.0 million in proceeds under the then existing 2016 Credit Agreement due 2024 used in the Anlin Acquisition. Proceeds of $63.3 million from the issuance of the $60.0 million in Second Additional Senior Notes, including a premium of $3.3 million, were used to partially fund our acquisition of Eco.

We paid financing costs totaling $10.7 million in 2021, including financing costs relating to bank fees and professional services costs relating to the offering and issuance of the 2021 Senior Notes due 2026 totaling $8.7 million, which included a 1.25% lender spread on the total principal value of the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029, or $7.2 million, and $1.5 million of other costs. We also paid $0.6 million in financing costs relating to the Fourth Amendment of the then existing 2016 Credit Agreement due 2024. We also paid $1.4 million in 2021 related to the issuance of the Second Additional Senior Notes.

Taxes paid relating to common stock withheld from employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards were $1.9 million in 2022, versus $1.6 million in 2021 Proceeds from the exercises of stock options for 2021 was $0.1 million. There were proceeds from stock issued under our 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $0.6 million during 2022, compared to $0.5 million during 2021.

2019 Share Repurchase Program. On May 22, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program of up to $30 million. The repurchases may be made in open-market or private transactions from time to time. Repurchases of shares may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit repurchases when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under applicable laws. The Company bases repurchase decisions, including the timing of repurchases, on factors such as the Company’s stock price, general economic and market conditions, the potential impact on the Company’s capital structure, the expected return on competing uses of capital such as strategic acquisitions and capital investments, and other corporate considerations, as determined by management. From the inception of the program on May 22, 2019, through December 28, 2019, we made repurchases of 393,819 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $5.5 million. We made no repurchases under this program during 2020 or 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we made repurchases of 86,124 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $1.6 million under this program. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We may make opportunistic purchases in the future.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures vary depending on prevailing business factors, including current and anticipated market conditions. In 2022, we spent $45.4 million on capital expenditures, compared to $33.4 million in 2021, an increase of $12.0 million, primarily representing equipment purchases and facility improvements expected to support growth.

Management expects to spend between $48 million and $52 million for capital expenditures in 2023. Our capital expenditure program is geared towards making investments in capital assets targeted at increasing both gross sales and margins, but also includes capital expenditures for maintenance capital.

Capital Resources and Debt Covenants

2021 Senior Notes due 2029

On September 24, 2021, we completed the issuance of $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior notes (“2021 Senior Notes due 2029”), issued at 100% of their principal amount. The 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 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 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 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 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 were offered under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, and in transactions outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act, and have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act.

The 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 mature on October 1, 2029. Interest on the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 is payable semi-annually, in arrears, beginning on April 1, 2022, with interest accruing at a rate of 4.375% per annum from September 24, 2021. We incurred financing costs relating to bank fees and professional services costs relating to the offering and issuance of the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 totaling $8.7 million, which included a 1.25% lender spread on the total principal value of the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029, or $7.2 million, and $1.5 million of other costs, all of which are being amortized under the effective interest method.

As of December 31, 2022, the face value of debt outstanding under the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 was $575.0 million, and accrued interest totaled $6.4 million. Proceeds from the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 were used, in part, to redeem in full the $425.0 million of 2018 Senior Notes due 2026, including the related fees, costs and prepayment call premium of $21.5 million, representing 5.063% of the $425.0 million face value then outstanding, prepay the outstanding term loan borrowings under the then existing 2016 Credit Agreement due 2024 of $54.0 million and the related fees and costs, and finance the Anlin Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2021. See Note 5, Acquisitions, for a discussion of the Anlin Acquisition.

The indenture for the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 gives us the option to redeem some or all of the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 at the redemption prices and on the terms specified in the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029. The indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 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. We also may make optional redemptions at various premiums including a make-whole call at the then current treasury rate plus 50 basis points prior to October 1, 2024, then 102.188% on or after August 1, 2024, 101.094% on or after August 2025, then at 100.000% on or after August 1, 2026.

The indenture for the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 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 2027

On February 16, 2016, we entered into the 2016 Credit Agreement. From 2016 to 2022, we entered into various amendments to the 2016 Credit Agreement, including the amendment in October 2022, as described below.

On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment of the 2016 Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment provides for, among other things, a new five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). The New Revolving Credit Facility refinances and replaces the previously existing $80.0 million revolving credit facility under the 2016 Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement continue to be secured by substantially all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries’ assets, and is senior in position to the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029.

Contemporaneously with the Fifth Amendment, the Company drew down $160.0 million of funds available under the New Revolving Credit Facility. Proceeds totaling $61.6 million from the $160.0 million drawdown were used to repay then existing term loan borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement totaling $60.0 million, plus accrued interest and fees totaling $1.6 million. As discussed below, the remaining $98.4 million of proceeds were used to fund the cash portion of the Martin Acquisition. The Company made repayments of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility totaling $83.6 million through December 31, 2022.

- 35 -

Interest on borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility is payable either quarterly or at the expiration of any Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") interest period applicable thereto. Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to, at our option, a base rate (with a floor of 100 basis points) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%) based on our first lien net leverage ratio or SOFR (with a floor of 0 basis points) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%) based on our first lien net leverage ratio. After giving effect to the Fifth Amendment, we will pay quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility equal to a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%) based on our first lien net leverage ratio. The Fifth Amendment also modifies the application of the financial covenant under the 2016 Credit Agreement such that testing will occur on a quarterly basis, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, borrowings outstanding under the $250.0 million New Revolving Credit Facility totaled $76.4 million, and accrued interest was $235 thousand. There were $5.7 million in letters of credit outstanding. Availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2022 totaled $167.9 million. The weighted average all-in interest rate for borrowings under the existing revolving credit facility of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2027 was 6.07% as of December 31, 2022, and for borrowings under the term loan facility of the then existing 2016 Credit Agreement due 2024 was 2.10% at January 1, 2022.

The Martin Acquisition was financed in past with the $250.0 million available under the New Revolving Credit Facility provided by the Fifth Amendment of our 2016 Credit Agreement, under which we drew $160.0 million on October 14, 2022, the proceeds of which were used to pay $98.4 million of the $187.8 million total fair value of consideration transferred, and $61.6 million to prepay our $60.0 million existing term loans under the Fourth Amendment of our 2016 Credit Agreement, plus $1.6 million in fees, costs and accrued interest. The remainder of the total fair value of consideration transferred totaling $89.4 million was funded with cash on hand previously generated through operations. We also paid buyer fees and costs relating to the Martin Acquisition totaling $4.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Deferred Financing Costs

All debt-related fees, costs and original issue discount, including those related to the revolving credit portion of the facility, is classified as a reduction of the carrying value of long-term debt. The activity relating to third-party fees and costs, lender fees and discount for the year ended December 31, 2022, are as follows:

(3) Effective on October 25, 2021, the Company entered into the fourth amendment of the then existing 2016 Credit Agreement due 2024. We borrowed a $60.0 million incremental term loan in connection with this amendment, the proceeds from which were used in combination with proceeds remaining under the 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 for the Anlin Acquisition. See note (1) above for further discussion.

(4) Fees, costs, and discount represents third-party fees, lender fees, other debt-related costs, and original issue premium and discount, recorded as a net reduction of the carrying value of the debt and are amortized over the lives of the debt instruments to which they relate under the effective interest method.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

2023 Share Repurchase Program. On February 7, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new, share repurchase program which authorizes the Company to purchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock. This program permits the Company to purchase shares of its common stock from time to time through open-market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The share repurchase program will have a term of 3 years, through February 3, 2026, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we follow U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require us to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect our financial position and results of operations.

On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such difference could be material. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Item 8, Note 2. The following is a summary of our more significant accounting estimates that require the use of judgment in preparing the financial statements.

Valuation of Trade Names and Customer Relationships in Business Combinations

The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations consist of trade names, developed technology, customer relationships, and other intangible assets. The fair value of the trade name intangible assets are determined utilizing the relief from royalty method ("RFRM") which is a form of the income approach. Under the RFRM, a royalty rate based on observed market royalties is applied to projected revenue supporting the trade name and discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The fair values of customer relationships are determined using the multi-period excess earnings method ("MPEEM"), which is also a form of the income approach. Under the MPEEM, the expected net cash flow an asset will generate, is discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate.

We applied the RFRM to the valuation of trade names and MPEEM to customer relationships for acquisitions done during 2022, for which the most significant intangible assets identified were the Martin trade name and customer relationship. Specific to these intangible assets, our estimates of projected revenue included forecast revenue growth rates, estimated existing customer retention rates, operating expense estimates and other estimates regarding contributory asset charges that required judgment by management. Actual results can differ from our estimates, requiring adjustments to our assumptions. The estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with the Martin Acquisition was $91.9 million, which included its trade name with an estimated fair value of $24.0 million and total customer relationships of $52.7 million.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

We disclosed the Company’s accounting policy for Goodwill and Trade Names under Item 8, Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. 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 narrow excess of fair value over carrying value of our WinDoor trade name from the last time we performed a quantitative assessment of our WinDoor trade name, and recent decrease in sales of our WinDoor brand, we determined such conditions represented triggering events and that we should complete a quantitative impairment test of our WinDoor trade name. The

WinDoor impairment test was conducted as of the first day of the fourth quarter of 2022. Based on our impairment test, which included our assumptions regarding future revenue, which we consider to be a Level 3 input, using the relief-from-royalty method, we concluded that the fair value of our WinDoor trade name was less than its carrying value, which resulted in an impairment of our WinDoor trade name of $7.4 million in our fourth quarter of 2022. As of December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2022, the carrying value of our WinDoor tradename were $11.0 million and $18.4 million, respectively.

For our other indefinite-lived trade names, we completed qualitative assessments of these assets on the first day of our fourth quarter of 2022. These qualitative assessments included an evaluation of relevant events and circumstances that existed at the date of our assessment. Those events and circumstances included conditions specific to our other indefinite-lived trade names, such as the industry in which we use these other indefinite-lived trade names, our competitive environment, the availability and costs of raw materials and labor, the financial performance of our Company, and factors related to the markets in which our Company operates. We also considered that, for our other indefinite-lived trade names, no new impairment indicators were identified since the dates of our prior assessments, which were qualitative assessments all other indefinite-lived intangibles other than goodwill. Based on these assessments, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our other indefinite-lived trade names exceed their carrying values. As of December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2022, excluding the WinDoor trade name, the carrying values of other indefinite-lived trade names was $214.0 million and $193.7 million, respectively.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Supplier Finance Programs: Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” to improve the disclosures of supplier finance programs. Specifically, the ASU requires disclosure of key terms of the supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. The amendments in this ASU do not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not engage in supplier finance programs and, therefore, does not expect to add any incremental disclosures required by ASU 2022-04.

FORWARD OUTLOOK

Net sales

Looking ahead into 2023, we believe there will be challenging macroeconomic factors that impact our business in all of our major markets. We have seen robust demand in our core geographies over the past two years that required maximum manufacturing capacity to satisfy. In 2023, having addressed our manufacturing constraints by adding manufacturing capacity in 2022, we believe that 2023 results will be more a function of demand than capacity constrictions. As such, we see possible declines in demand in both the repair and remodel and new construction channels. Our backlog of orders was $228.8 million at December 31, 2022, decreasing from $355.9 million at January 1, 2022. Because of increases in manufacturing capacity and operating efficiency achieved in 2022, we believe we are now in a fully demand-driven operating environment, with lead times between four and ten weeks for a majority of our products. In 2023, we expect to continue to invest in sales initiatives in our major markets, which we believe will result in increasing our market share. We also expect to expand our geographic footprint in our major markets through new product introductions, and brand cross-selling opportunities.

Gross profit and gross margin

We believe the following factors, which are not all inclusive, may impact our gross profit and gross margin in 2023:

• Our gross margin percentages are influenced by total sales due to operating leverage of fixed costs. We believe that macroeconomic headwinds expected in 2023 could negatively impact our operating leverage as we expect these headwinds will impact demand in both our repair and remodel and new construction channels.

• During 2022, our gross profit and gross margin percentage were negatively impacted by inflationary pressure on our manufacturing inputs, including materials and labor. We took actions in 2022 to attempt to offset these factors, including increasing prices in 2022, which we believe successfully passed a substantial portion of the increased cost of inputs to our customers. Depending on the extent to which costs increase in 2023, we may take further pricing actions to offset them. However, we were also successful in improving our operating efficiencies in 2022, and will continue to focus on further improvements to operating efficiencies, primarily relating to direct labor, but the inflationary headwinds of 2022 are expected to continue to exist in 2023.

• Inflationary conditions impacted aluminum and Midwest Transaction Premium ("MTP") delivery prices in 2022. Aluminum is one of our most significant raw materials. During April 2022, the price of aluminum, including the MTP delivery component, hit all-time high combined spot prices of nearly $2.00 per pound. By the end of 2022, the combined spot prices of aluminum had decreased to approximately $1.30 per pound. Early in 2023, we have seen an uptick in prices.

- 39 -

However, we believe that aluminum pricing during 2023 will be slightly lower than during 2022, which may provide us with a slight cost tailwind in an otherwise highly inflationary environment expected during 2023. While we engage in a program of hedging our purchases of aluminum, as well as its delivery component known as the Midwest Transaction Premium, using cash flow derivative products to help us stabilize the cost of aluminum and MTP in our manufacturing process, by the end of 2022, we had no aluminum hedge coverage and insignificant MTP coverage, meaning our prices for aluminum and MTP costs will follow the changes in aluminum prices as set by the LME, as well as the MTP delivery component as set by the Platts MW US Transaction price per pound assessment.

• Our gross profit and gross margin are also influenced by labor costs. During 2022, we continued to invest in increasing our headcount to address manufacturing constraints which had caused our backlog of orders to increase significantly by the end of 2021. However, having added manufacturing capacity and reduced our backlog of orders to more normalized levels, our headcount additions have decreased. As such, we expect to focus on direct labor efficiencies during 2023. However, we expect there to continue to be a strong jobs environment throughout the United States in 2023 which may continue to result in a limited labor pool. As such, we expect that in order to continue to attract adequate labor in a tight labor pool, we will experience increased labor costs due to this continuing to be an employee's job market.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A)

This expense category will be affected by the inclusion of the SG&A of Martin for the full year of 2023, including non-cash amortization based on the level of amortizable intangible assets we have acquired. We expect to leverage fixed SG&A in 2023, compared to 2022, and to continue to look for areas within SG&A to drive efficiencies. However, we expect to continue to invest in strategic marketing initiatives and advertising, especially at our NewSouth direct-to-consumer business which relies heavily on outreach to consumers. However, we plan on cost reductions in 2023 relating to a reduction in salaried headcount and cost control programs focusing on spending reductions across all major SG&A categories through reduced discretionary spending. As such, only those strategic programs which we believe will provide a favorable return on investment will be funded. We have also seen the effects of inflationary pressure on our distribution costs as fuel prices rose during 2022, which increased the cost of operating our fleet. While fuel prices have fluctuated recently, on average they have stabilized. However, if fuel prices increase significantly during 2023, this could negatively impact our SG&A spending.

Depreciation and Amortization

Including the impact on depreciation and amortization from our Martin Acquisition, depreciation and amortization is estimated to be approximately $63 million in 2023.

Interest expense

During 2022, we refinanced our $425.0 million of 6.75% 2018 Senior Notes due 2026 with our $575.0 million of 4.375% 2021 Senior Notes due 2029. This increased our level of borrowings, which enabled us to acquire Anlin, while the reduction in senior note interest rate is providing some debt service savings. In October 2022, we refinanced our 2016 Credit Agreement in the Fifth Amendment, which resulted in the paydown of our then existing term loan borrowings of $60.0 million, but provided the New Revolving Credit Facility of $250.0 million, of which we drew down $160.0 million, the additional proceeds from which were used to acquire Martin. Since drawing down $160.0 million under the New Revolving Credit Facility, we have repaid a total of $96.0 million in borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of the date of this report. Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility is our only floating-rate debt. As such, our exposure of our debt to this increasing interest rate environment has been reduced due to our post-acquisition de-leveraging focus. As such, we believe interest expense on our long-term debt will be approximately $30 million in 2023, including an estimated $1 million of non-cash amortization of net deferred financing costs.

Income tax expense

We expect to continue to be profitable in 2023, and thus, we believe that we will incur income tax expense at a combined Federal and state effective rate of between approximately 25% to 26%. This rate is based on the corporate income tax rate of 21%, plus a blended statutory state rate, assuming the income tax rate in Florida remains at 5.5% through 2023.

Liquidity and capital resources

We had $66.5 million of cash on hand as of December 31, 2022. During 2023, we expect to continue to generate sufficient cash from operations to service the interest requirements on our debt, cover our operating expenses, and spend between $48 million and $52 million for capital expenditures in 2023. As a result of the Fifth Amendment, we have no further mandatory required payments remaining until the maturity in October 2027 of our 2016 Credit Agreement due 2027 but may continue to make voluntary prepayments in the future as our cash generation and other relevant factors permit. However, no assurances can be given that cash from operations will be sufficient for some or all these purposes. We currently have $167.9 million of availability under the New Revolving Facility of the 2016 Credit Agreement due 2027.

Item 7A. 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”). However, as of December 31, 2022, we had no aluminum forward contracts, and one contract for MTP. Accordingly, as of the date of this report, we are substantially not hedged for any portions of our aluminum or delivery needs, and our price for aluminum and MTP costs will follow the changes in aluminum prices as set by the LME, as well as the MTP delivery component as set by the Platts MW US Transaction price per pound assessment.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K of $76.4 million, a 100 basis-point increase in interest rate would result in approximately $0.8 million of additional interest costs annually.
