“We aim to create peak value for all our stakeholders, 

by building differentiated businesses with strong 

operational execution.”   

Ty R. Silberhorn, Chief Executive Officer 

Fellow shareholders, 

It  is  my  privilege  to  write  to  you  about  our  company’s 
progress after my first full year as Apogee’s Chief Executive 
Officer.  During fiscal 2022, we took important steps to set 
Apogee  on  a  path  for  long-term  profitable  growth  and 
improved returns.  We conducted a deep strategic review of 
our  business  and  developed  a  roadmap  for  moving  the 
company forward.  We launched several critical initiatives to 
transform  our  enterprise  and  we  delivered  results  that 
exceeded  our 
forecasts,  despite  significant  economic 
challenges during the year.  I would like to thank Apogee’s 
entire team for their tremendous effort during the year. 

A New Strategic Direction 
Throughout  Apogee’s  70-plus  years,  the  company  has 
frequently reinvented itself, innovating our business model 
to adapt to changing market conditions.  Over the past two 
years,  with  the  impact  of  the  pandemic  and  subsequent 
downturn  in  non-residential  construction,  we  reached 
another inflection point in the company’s history.  We spent 
much of the last year conducting a thorough strategic review 
of our business.  We took a systematic, outside-in approach, 
which included extensive input from customers and detailed 
competitive benchmarking.  This was a rigorous process, in 
which  we  analyzed  all  aspects  of  our  business  and  the 
markets  we  serve.    We  evaluated  our  entire  portfolio  of 
products,  services,  and  capabilities,  to  identify  the  best 
avenues  for  future  growth.    We  also  reviewed  how  we 
compete,  to  ensure  we  have  the  right  operating  model  to 
deliver consistent, profitable growth.  Through this work, we 
validated strengths to leverage as we move forward, and we 
defined clear actions for key issues facing the company.   

The outcome of this work  was a new, three-pillar strategy.  
First,  we  will  strive  to  become  the  economic  leader  in  our 
target  markets.  Our  goal  is  to  develop  clear  go-to-market 
strategies, with differentiated product and service offerings, 
and competitive cost structures. Over time, this will allow us 
to become a top margin generator in the markets we serve.  
Second, we will actively manage our portfolio, to drive  

higher  margins  and  returns.    We  will  accomplish  this  by 
scaling  and  expanding  our  top  performing  businesses, 
actively addressing underperforming parts of the portfolio, 
and  investing  to  add  and  grow  differentiated  offerings.  
Finally,  we  will  strengthen  our  core  operating  capabilities 
and  platforms.    The  foundation  of  this  is  developing  an 
operating model that will deliver more efficient operations, 
greater scalability, and enable sustained profitable growth.  

To  measure  our  progress  as  we  execute  this  strategy,  we 
have  established  three-year  performance  targets  for  our 
business.  Our key performance metric going forward will be 
return  on  invested  capital  (ROIC),  which  we  believe  will 
ensure  that  we  deliver  above  market  returns  for  our 
shareholders. Our goal is to achieve greater than 12 percent 
ROIC by the  end of fiscal year 2025.  We  expect our  ROIC 
gains  will  primarily  be  driven  by  margin  improvements 
across  our  business.    Accordingly,  we  set  the  target  of 
achieving greater than 10 percent operating margin by fiscal 
2025.  Third, we aspire to outgrow our overall market, with 
the  goal  of  revenue  growth  1.2  times  that  of  the  non-
residential construction market.  Achieving these targets will 
represent a step-change in our financial performance.  

Following the strategic review, our ambition is clear.  We aim 
to  create  peak  value  for  all  our  stakeholders,  by  building 
differentiated businesses with strong operational execution.   

Executing Our Strategic Pivot 
As fiscal year 2022 progressed, we began to execute our new 
strategy,  building  early  momentum  in  our  transformation.  
We completed a strategic realignment and restructuring to 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
better position our businesses to become economic leaders 
in  their  target  markets.    This  included  refocusing  the 
Architectural  Glass  segment  to  emphasize  premium,  high-
performance products.  In support of this strategy, we sold 
our  glass  fabrication  facility  in  Statesboro,  Georgia  and 
successfully  transitioned  glass  operations  to  our  flagship 
facility  in  Minnesota.    We  did  this  while  maintaining  high 
levels of service for our customers.   In Architectural Framing 
Systems,  we  moved 
from  what  had  been  several 
decentralized  business  units,  to  a  more  integrated  model 
that  better  leverages  the  scale  and  capabilities  of  the 
combined organization.  This change will bring more clarity 
to  how  we  serve  customers  and  will  enable  improved 
execution and reduced costs. 

During the year, we also took actions to strengthen our core 
operating  capabilities.    We  made  significant  progress  on 
several enterprise transformation initiatives.  These projects 
are  designed  to  strengthen  our  processes  and  systems, 
providing  new  capabilities  across  several  functional  areas.  
Over  time,  we  plan  to  establish  functional  centers  of 
excellence  that  will  allow  us  to  support  the  business  more 
efficiently  and  provide  the  ability  to  flex  and  scale  as  our 
company  grows.    Another  key  initiative  was  reinvigorating 
our Lean and Continuous Improvement program.  This effort 
is  already  delivering  bottom-line  results.    As  we  move 
forward,  Lean  will  form  the  foundation  of  the  Apogee 
Management System, a common operating approach, with 
shared tools and processes, that is embedded in the culture 
of the company.  As we enter the new fiscal year, we are well 
positioned  to  continue  our  strategic  shift,  positioning  the 
company for improved performance in the years ahead.   

Fiscal 2022 Results 
Throughout  fiscal  2022,  we  faced  a  challenging  operating 
environment,  with  significant  cost  inflation,  supply  chain 
disruptions, and lingering impacts of the pandemic.  Despite 
these  challenges,  our  team  delivered  solid 
financial 
performance.  Total revenue grew 7 percent, to $1.3 billion, 
led  by  strong  growth  in  Architectural  Services,  which 
achieved  record  full-year  sales  and  operating  income.  
Large-Scale Optical (LSO) also had a strong year, rebounding 
from  the  effects  of  the  pandemic.    LSO  achieved  record 
revenue, exceeding $100 million of annual sales for the first 
time, while also returning to the segment’s normal level of 
strong profitability.  Architectural Framing Systems saw the 
most impact from inflation and supply chain challenges, yet 
still  delivered  5  percent  sales  growth  and 
improved 
operating margins.  Architectural Glass had lower sales, due 
to  the  market  downturn  and  our  move  away  from  less 

profitable projects.  Even with the lower volumes, the Glass 
segment made steady progress improving its cost structure 
and driving productivity gains throughout the year.   

We  continued  to  have  success  with  working  capital 
management and had another year of strong cash flow.  We 
used this cash flow to drive shareholder value, increasing our 
dividend  for  the  ninth  consecutive  year,  and  repurchasing 
$100  million  worth  of  stock.    In  total,  we  returned  $121 
million  of  cash  to  our  shareholders  during  the  year.    Our 
balance sheet and liquidity remain very strong.  We have no 
significant debt maturities until fiscal 2025 and we have no 
outstanding  borrowings  on  our  primary  revolving  credit 
facility.    Even  with  the  increased  dividend  and  share 
repurchases, we ended the fiscal year with lower total debt 
and $36 million of cash on our balance sheet.  This strong 
financial position gives the company significant flexibility as 
we execute our strategy in the coming years.   

Looking Ahead 
As we move into the new fiscal year, we expect to continue 
our strategic pivot, driving progress toward our three-year 
financial goals.  The economic challenges we faced in fiscal 
2022  will  likely  persist.    Pricing,  cost  management  and 
driving productivity gains will remain top focus areas for our 
team.  We expect to drive margin gains in fiscal 2023, largely 
driven by capturing the benefits from the restructuring and 
cost reduction actions we completed this year.  We will also 
continue to focus on working capital management and cash 
flow,  while  deploying  capital  to  drive  value.    We  plan  to 
invest in high-return capital spending projects, continue to 
grow our dividend, opportunistically repurchase stock, and 
evaluate  strategic  acquisitions.  With our strong cash flow, 
we  can  do  all  of  this  while  maintaining  a  conservative 
balance sheet.   

I am proud of what the Apogee team accomplished in fiscal 
2022.  My fellow Board members and I are confident in what 
this team can continue to deliver in the years ahead as we 
execute  our  new  strategy.    Thank  you  for  your  continued 
trust and support of Apogee Enterprises!

PART I

The Company
Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (Apogee, the Company or we) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in 1949. We 
are  a  leading  provider  of  architectural  products  and  services  for  enclosing  buildings,  and  high-performance  glass  and  acrylic 
products used in applications for preservation, protection and enhanced viewing. 

Our Company has four reporting segments, with three of the segments serving the commercial construction market: 

•

•

•

•

The  Architectural  Framing  Systems  segment  designs,  engineers,  fabricates  and  finishes  aluminum  window, 
curtainwall,  storefront  and  entrance  systems  for  the  exterior  of  buildings.  In  fiscal  2022,  this  segment  accounted  for 
approximately 45 percent of our net sales. 
The Architectural Glass segment coats and fabricates, high-performance glass used in custom window and wall systems 
on commercial buildings. In fiscal 2022, this segment accounted for approximately 20 percent of our net sales.
The Architectural Services segment integrates technical services, project management, and field installation services to 
design, engineer, fabricate, and install building glass and curtainwall systems. In fiscal 2022, this segment accounted for 
approximately 27 percent of our net sales. 
The  Large-Scale  Optical  Technologies  (LSO)  segment  manufactures  high-performance  glass  and  acrylic  products  for 
custom  framing,  museum,  and  technical  glass  markets.  In  fiscal  2022,  this  segment  accounted  for  approximately  8 
percent of our net sales. 

Strategy
In  fiscal  2022,  we  conducted  a  holistic  strategic  review  of  our  business  and  the  markets  we  serve.    This  review  included 
extensive  input  from  customers  and  industry  influencers,  along  with  detailed  competitive  benchmarking.    We  analyzed  our 
portfolio of products, services, and capabilities to identify the best areas for future growth.  We also evaluated our operating 
model to ensure we have the organizational structure and capabilities needed to deliver consistent profitable growth.  Through 
this  work,  we  validated  the  Company’s  strengths  that  we  can  leverage  as  we  move  forward.    We  also  identified  several 
challenges facing the Company and opportunities for improved performance.  

Following this review, we established a new enterprise strategy, with three key elements:

1. Become the economic leader in our target markets.  We will achieve this by developing a deep understanding of 
our  target  markets  and  aligning  our  businesses  with  clear  go-to-market  strategies  to  drive  value  for  our  customers 
through  differentiated  product  and  service  offerings.  We  will  also  build  a  relentless  focus  on  operational  execution, 
driving productivity improvements, and maintaining a competitive cost structure, so that we may bring more value to 
our customers and improve our own profitability.  

2. Actively manage our portfolio to drive higher margins and returns.  We intend to shift our business mix toward 
higher operating margin offerings and improve our return on invested capital performance.  We will accomplish this 
by allocating resources to grow our top performing businesses, actively addressing underperforming businesses, and 
investing to add new differentiated product and service offerings to accelerate our growth.  

3. Strengthen  our  core  capabilities.    We  are  shifting  from  our  historical,  decentralized  operating  model,  to  one  with 
center-led functional expertise that enables us to leverage the scale of the enterprise to better support the needs of the 
business.  We are establishing a Company-wide operating system with common tools and processes that are based on 
the foundation of Lean and Continuous Improvement.  This will be supported by a robust talent management program 
and a commitment to strong governance to ensure compliance and drive sustainable performance.  

During the fiscal year, we began to implement our new strategy, building significant momentum in the transformation of our 
business. We realigned Architectural Framing Systems to better leverage the scale and capabilities of the organization, and to 
bring more clarity and focus in our go-to-market approach.  We refocused Architectural Glass to emphasize differentiated, high 
value-added products.  We also announced our intention to move the Sotawall business into Architectural Services, beginning 
in  fiscal  2023,  to  create  a  single,  unified  offering  for  larger  custom  curtainwall  projects.    During  the  fiscal  year,  we  began 
several  enterprise  transformation  initiatives  designed  to  strengthen  core  processes  and  systems  and  provide  new  capabilities 
across several functional areas.  Finally, we relaunched our Lean and Continuous Improvement program, adding key talent and 
developing a set of tools and processes that we will use to drive improved performance across the enterprise.  

We plan to continue to execute this strategy over the next several years.  To measure our progress, we have established three 
consolidated enterprise financial targets, which we expect to achieve by the end of fiscal year 2025:

•
•
•

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)* greater than 12 percent,
operating margin greater than 10 percent,
and revenue growth greater than 1.2 times the overall non-residential construction market.  
*ROIC is a non-GAAP measure. See discussion of  non-GAAP measures within the Overview section of Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Products and Services
Architectural Framing Systems, Architectural Glass and Architectural Services segments
These three segments primarily serve the construction industry and participate in various phases of the value stream to design, 
engineer, fabricate and install custom glass and aluminum window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems for the exterior 
of buildings, primarily in the commercial, institutional, and multi-family residential construction sectors. 

Our Architectural Framing Systems segment designs, engineers and fabricates aluminum window, curtainwall, storefront and 
entrance systems. We also extrude aluminum and provide finishing services for metal components used in a variety of building 
materials applications, as well as plastic components for other markets.

Our Architectural Glass segment provides a wide range of high-performance glass products, offering customized solutions that 
enable  architects  and  building  owners  to  meet  their  design,  aesthetic,  and  performance  goals.    We  fabricate  insulating, 
laminated,  and  monolithic  glass  units  that  are  used  in  windows,  curtainwall,  storefront,  and  entrance  systems.  We  provide 
premium glass solutions to meet our customers’ design and energy-performance requirements.  These include propriety, high-
performance coatings, digital printing, heat soaking of tempered glass, and thermal spacers.

Our  Architectural  Services  segment  delivers  value  by  integrating  technical  capabilities,  project  management  skills  and  field 
installation services, to provide design, engineering, fabrication and installation for the exteriors of commercial buildings. Our 
ability  to  efficiently  design  high-quality  window  and  curtainwall  systems  and  effectively  manage  the  installation  of  building 
façades enables our customers to meet schedule and cost requirements of their projects.

Our product and service offerings across these architectural segments allow architects to create distinctive looks for buildings 
such  as  health  care  facilities,  government  buildings,  office  towers,  hotels,  education  and  athletic  facilities,  retail  centers, 
transportation centers, mixed use and multi-family residential buildings. Our solutions also help meet functional requirements 
such as energy efficiency, hurricane, blast and other impact resistance and/or sound control.

With respect to sustainability, many of our architectural products and services help architects, developers, and building owners 
achieve  their  energy-efficiency  and  sustainability  goals  by  improving  energy  performance,  thereby  reducing  greenhouse  gas 
emissions, providing daylight and natural ventilation, and increasing comfort and safety for occupants. These products include 
high-performance  thermal  framing  systems,  energy  efficient  glass  coatings,  and  sun  control  products  such  as  sunshades  and 
light  shelves.  Many  of  our  framing  systems  products  can  be  specified  with  recycled  aluminum  content  and  utilize 
environmentally  friendly  anodize  and  paint  finishes.  In  addition,  we  offer  a  wide  range  of  renovation  solutions  to  help 
modernize  aging  buildings,  providing  significantly  improved  energy  performance,  while  preserving  historically  accurate 
aesthetics.

LSO segment
The LSO segment provides coated glass and acrylic primarily for use in custom picture framing, museum framing, wall decor 
and technical glass for other display applications. Products vary based on size and coatings to provide conservation-grade UV 
protection, anti-reflective and anti-static properties and/or security features. 

Product Demand and Distribution Channels
Architectural Framing Systems, Architectural Glass and Architectural Services segments
Demand  for  the  products  and  services  offered  by  our  architectural  segments  is  affected  by  changes  in  the  North  American 
commercial construction industry, as well as by changes in general economic conditions. Additionally, the Architectural Glass 
segment  has  Brazilian  operations  which  are  impacted  by  Brazil's  commercial  construction  industry  and  general  economic 
conditions. 

We look at several external indicators to analyze potential demand for our products and services, such as U.S. and Canadian job 
growth, office vacancy rates, credit and interest rates, architectural billing statistics, and material costs. We also rely on internal 
indicators  to  analyze  demand,  including  our  sales  pipeline,  which  is  made  up  of  contracts  in  review,  projects  awarded  or 
committed,  and  bidding  activity.  Our  sales  pipeline,  together  with  ongoing  feedback,  analysis  and  data  from  our  customers, 
architects and building owners, provide visibility into near- and medium-term demand. Additionally, we evaluate data on U.S. 
and Canadian non-residential construction market activity, industry analysis and longer-term trends provided by external data 
sources.  

Our architectural products and services are used in subsets of the construction industry differentiated by the following types of 
factors: 

5

•

•

•

•

Building  type  -  Our  products  and  services  are  primarily  used  in  commercial  buildings  (office  buildings,  hotels  and 
retail centers), institutional buildings (education facilities, health care facilities and government buildings), and multi-
family residential buildings (a subset of residential construction).

Level  of  customization  -  Many  of  our  projects  involve  a  high  degree  of  customization,  as  the  product  or  service  is 
designed to meet customer-specified requirements for aesthetics, performance and size, and local building codes.  

Customers and distribution channels - Our customers are mainly glazing subcontractors and general contractors, with 
project  design  being  influenced  by  architects  and  building  owners.  Our  high-performance  architectural  glass  is 
primarily sold using both a direct sales force and independent sales representatives. Our installation services are sold 
by  a  direct  sales  force  in  certain  metropolitan  areas  in  the  U.S.  Our  window,  curtainwall,  storefront  and  entrance 
systems are sold using a combination of direct sales forces, independent sales representatives and distributors.

Geographic  location  -  We  primarily  supply  architectural  glass  products  and  aluminum  framing  systems,  including 
window,  curtainwall,  storefront  and  entrance  systems,  to  customers  in  North  America.  We  are  one  of  only  a  few 
architectural  glass  installation  service  companies  in  the  U.S.  to  have  a  national  presence  and  we  have  the  ability  to 
provide  installation  project  management  throughout  the  U.S.  and  Canada.  Our  Architectural  Glass  segment  also 
supplies architectural glass products to customers in Brazil and certain other international locations.

LSO segment
In  our  LSO  segment,  we  have  a  leading  brand  of  value-added  coated  glass  and  acrylic  used  in  the  custom  picture-framing 
market,  museum  market,  and  various  technical  glass  applications.  Under  the  Tru  Vue  brand,  products  are  sold  primarily  in 
North  America  through  national  and  regional  retail  chains  using  a  direct  sales  force,  as  well  as  to  local  retailers  through  an 
independent distribution network. We have a global distribution network and also supply our products to museums, galleries 
and other customers in Europe, Asia and other international locations.

Competitive Conditions
Architectural Framing Systems, Architectural Glass and Architectural Services segments
The North American commercial construction market is highly fragmented. Competitive factors include price, product quality, 
product attributes and performance, reliable service, on-time delivery, lead-time, warranties and the ability to provide project 
management, technical engineering and design services. To protect and improve our competitive position, we maintain strong 
relationships with building owners, architects, and other stakeholders who influence the selection of products and services on a 
project, and with general contractors, who initiate projects and develop specifications.   

Our  Architectural  Framing  Systems  segment  competes  against  several  national,  regional  and  local  aluminum  window  and 
storefront manufacturers, as well as regional paint and anodizing finishing companies. Our businesses compete by providing a 
broad portfolio of high-quality products, robust engineering capabilities, and dependable, short lead-time service.  

In  our  Architectural  Glass  segment,  we  experience  competition  from  regional  glass  fabricators  and  international  competitors 
who  can  provide  certain  products  with  attributes  similar  to  ours.  We  differentiate  by  providing  a  wide  range  of  high-quality 
products, including several proprietary offerings, that we can bundle together into customized solutions.  We maintain strong 
relationships  with  architects,  developers,  and  other  industry  stakeholders,  and  provide  strong  customer  service  and  reliable 
delivery.  

Our  Architectural  Services  segment  competes  against  national  and  regional  glass  installation  companies.  We  compete  by 
offering  a  robust  set  of  capabilities  at  a  competitive  cost.    Our  capabilities  include  preconstruction  services,  engineering  and 
design, project management, manufacturing, and field installation.  We deliver these services using an operating model which 
reduces  costs  and  risks  for  our  customers,  and  we’ve  established  a  track  record  of  regularly  meeting  each  project's  unique 
execution requirements. 

LSO segment
Our  LSO  segment  competes  with  European  and  U.S.  providers  of  both  basic  and  valued-added  glass  and  acrylic.  Our 
competitive  strengths  include  innovative  proprietary  products  and  process  technologies,  a  highly  automated  manufacturing 
model, innovative marketing programs, strong relationships with our customers, and an established distribution network. 

Warranties
We offer product and service warranties that we believe are competitive for the markets in which our products and services are 
sold. The nature and extent of these warranties depend upon the product or service, the market and, in some cases, the customer 
being served. Our standard warranties are generally from two to 10 years for our architectural glass, curtainwall and window 
system products, while we generally offer warranties of two years or less on our other products and services.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
Materials used in the Architectural Framing Systems segment include aluminum billet and extrusions, fabricated glass, plastic 
extrusions, hardware, paint and chemicals. Raw materials used within the Architectural Glass segment include flat glass, vinyl, 
silicone  sealants  and  lumber.  Within  the  Architectural  Services  segment,  materials  used  include  fabricated  glass,  finished 
aluminum extrusions, fabricated metal panels and hardware. Materials used in the LSO segment are primarily glass and acrylic. 
Most of our raw materials are readily available from a variety of domestic and international sources.  

Intellectual Property
We have several patents, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets and proprietary technologies and customer relationships that we 
believe, in the aggregate, constitute a valuable asset.  However, we do not believe that our business is materially dependent on 
any individual patent, trademark or other intellectual property asset.

Seasonality
Activity  in  the  construction  industry  is  impacted  by  the  seasonal  impact  of  weather  and  weather  events  in  our  operating 
locations, with activity in some markets reduced in winter due to inclement weather. 

Working Capital Requirements
Trade and contract-related receivables and other contract assets are the largest components of our working capital. Inventory 
requirements,  mainly  related  to  raw  materials,  are  most  significant  in  our  Architectural  Framing  Systems  and  Architectural 
Glass segments. 

Backlog
Backlog represents the dollar amount of signed contracts or firm orders, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process, 
which may be expected to be recognized as revenue in the future. Backlog is not a term defined under U.S. generally accepted 
accounting  principles  (GAAP)  and  is  not  a  measure  of  contract  profitability.  In  addition  to  backlog,  we  have  a  substantial 
amount of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period and are not included in backlog. 
We have good visibility beyond backlog, as projects awarded, verbal commitments and bidding activities are not included in 
backlog.

Architectural Framing Systems segment backlog as of fiscal year-end was $428.7 million, compared to $411.3 million at the 
end of the prior year, reflecting an increase in order volume. We expect approximately 78 percent of the backlog in this segment 
to be fulfilled in fiscal 2023, with the remainder expected to be filled in fiscal 2024 and beyond; however, the timing of backlog 
may be impacted by project delays.

Backlog is not a significant metric for the Architectural Glass segment, as orders are typically booked and billed within a short 
time-frame.  

Backlog in the Architectural Services segment as of fiscal year-end was $517.7 million, compared to $570.9 million at the end 
of the prior year, due to execution of projects in backlog, timing of firm orders, and signed contracts. We expect approximately 
61 percent of the backlog in this segment to be filled during fiscal 2023, with the remainder expected to be filled in fiscal 2024 
and beyond; however, the timing of backlog may be impacted by project delays. 

Backlog is not a significant metric for the LSO segment, as orders are typically booked and billed within a short time-frame.

Compliance with Government Regulations
We are subject to various environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations in the United States and in 
other countries in which we operate. These laws and regulations relate to, among other things, our use and storage of hazardous 
materials in our manufacturing operations and associated air emissions and discharges to surface and underground waters. We 
have  several  continuing  programs  designed  to  ensure  compliance  with  foreign,  federal,  state  and  local  environmental  and 
occupational safety and health laws and regulations. We contract with outside vendors to collect and dispose of waste at our 
production facilities in compliance with applicable environmental laws. In addition, we have procedures in place that enable us 
to  properly  manage  the  regulated  materials  used  in  and  wastes  created  by  our  manufacturing  processes.  We  believe  we  are 
currently in material compliance with all such laws and regulations. While we will continue to incur costs for compliance with 
government  regulations  for  our  ongoing  operations,  we  do  not  expect  these  to  have  a  material  effect  upon  our  capital 
expenditures, earnings or competitive position. At one manufacturing facility in our Architectural Framing Systems segment, 
we  are  continuing  to  work  to  remediate  historical  environmental  impacts.  These  remediation  activities  are  being  conducted 
without significant disruption to our operations.

Human Capital Resources
The Company had approximately 5,500 employees on February 26, 2022, down from 6,100 employees on February 27, 2021. 
As of February 26, 2022, approximately 420 of these employees were represented by U.S. labor unions. 

Competition  for  qualified  employees  in  the  markets  and  industries  in  which  we  operate  is  intense,  and  the  success  of  our 
Company  depends  on  our  ability  to  attract,  select,  develop  and  retain  a  productive  and  engaged  workforce.  Investing  in  our 
employees  and  their  well-being,  offering  competitive  compensation  and  benefits,  promoting  diversity  and  inclusion,  and 
adopting positive human capital management practices are critical components of our corporate strategy.

Health, Wellness and Safety
The safety of our employees is integral to our Company. Providing a safe and secure work environment is one of our highest 
priorities and we devote significant time and resources to workplace safety. Our safety programs are designed to comply with 
stringent  regulatory  requirements  and  to  meet  or  exceed  best  practices  in  our  industry.  This  commitment  requires  focus  and 
dedication to fundamental aspects of our business to minimize the risk of accidents, injury, and exposure to health hazards.  We 
utilize  a  safety  culture  assessment  process  along  with  a  safety  compliance  audits  to  monitor  safety  programs  within  our 
businesses.  These  assessments  and  audits  provide  suggestions  for  continuous  improvement  in  safety  programs  and  measure 
employee engagement. In addition, the programs encourage the development of a proactive, inter-dependent safety culture in 
which leadership and employees interact to ensure safety is viewed as everyone’s responsibility. 

We offer comprehensive health and wellness programs for our employees. In addition to standard health programs including 
medical insurance and preventive care, we have a variety of resources available to employees relating to physical and mental 
wellness.  

The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  magnified  the  importance  of  keeping  our  employees  safe  and  healthy.  In  response  to  the 
pandemic, we have taken actions consistent with recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and 
other local, state, and federal government agencies, to protect our employees.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Our diversity, equity and inclusion program promotes a workplace where each employee’s abilities are recognized, respected, 
and utilized to further the Company’s goals. Our aim is to create an environment where people feel included as a part of a team 
because  of  their  diversity  of  outlooks,  perspectives,  and  characteristics,  which  ultimately  adds  value  for  our  Company.    We 
strive to create a culture of inclusion, reduce bias in our talent practices, and invest in and engage with our communities. We 
conduct  diversity  and  code  of  conduct  trainings  with  employees  and  managers  to  make  clear  our  views  on  diversity  and 
promote  an  inclusive  and  diverse  workplace,  where  all  individuals  feel  respected  and  part  of  a  team  regardless  of  their  race, 
national origin, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. 

Talent Management and Development
Our  talent  management  program  is  focused  on  developing  employees  and  leaders  to  meet  the  Company’s  evolving  needs. 
Managers  actively  engage  with  their  employees  to  provide  coaching  and  feedback  and  identify  training  and  development 
opportunities to improve performance in the employee’s current role and to position the employee for future growth.  Training 
and  development  opportunities  include  new-hire  training,  job  specific  training,  stretch  assignments,  and  safety  training.  The 
Company  also  offers  leadership  development  opportunities,  such  as  our  Apogee  Leadership  Program,  along  with  technical 
training  for  engineers,  designers  and  sales  staff.  In  addition,  the  Company  offers  an  education  assistance  program  in  which 
certain  eligible  employees  receive  tuition  reimbursement  to  help  defray  the  costs  associated  with  their  continuing  education. 
Our executive leadership and Human Resources teams regularly conduct talent reviews and succession planning to assist with 
meeting critical talent and leadership needs.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business faces many risks. Any of the risks discussed below, or elsewhere in this Form 10-K or our other filings with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of 
operations.

COVID-19 Pandemic Risks
The  novel  coronavirus  (COVID-19)  pandemic,  efforts  to  mitigate  the  pandemic,  and  the  related  weakening  economic 
conditions,  have  impacted  our  business  and  could  have  a  significant  negative  impact  on  our  operations,  liquidity,  financial 
condition and financial results
To date, we have experienced delays in commercial construction projects and other adverse consequences due to the COVID-19 
pandemic.  Quarantines  and  "stay  in  place"  orders,  the  timing  and  length  of  containment  and  eradication  solutions,  travel 
restrictions,  construction  site  closures  and  project  delays,  absenteeism  by  infected  workers,  labor  shortages  and  other 
disruptions to our supply chain or to our customers, have adversely impacted our sales and operating results. In addition, the 
pandemic contributed to an economic downturn that has impacted demand for certain of our products and services. Order lead 
times have been, and may continue to be, extended or delayed. Within the LSO segment, we also experienced the temporary 
closure of many of our customer's retail locations. We also were required temporarily to shut down our factories in this segment 
to comply with government "stay in place" orders. 

We  expect  this  global  pandemic  to  continue  to  have  an  impact  on  our  future  revenue  and  results  of  operations,  although  the 
negative impacts on our business directly due to the COVID-19 pandemic had moderated by the end of fiscal 2022. The extent 
to which COVID-19 will continue to impact our businesses in the future will depend on numerous evolving factors including, 
but  not  limited  to,  the  emergence  of  new  variants  of  the  coronavirus,  such  as  the  Delta  and  Omicron  variants,  and  the 
effectiveness of ongoing public health initiatives, which have been boosted by vaccine production and distribution.

Market and Industry Risks
North  American  and  global  economic  and  industry-related  business  conditions  materially  affect  our  sales  and  results  of 
operations
Our  Architectural  Framing  Systems,  Architectural  Glass  and  Architectural  Services  segments  are  significantly  influenced  by 
North  American  economic  conditions  and  the  cyclical  nature  of  the  North  American  commercial  construction  industry.  The 
commercial  construction  industry  is  impacted  by  macroeconomic  trends,  such  as  availability  of  credit,  employment  levels, 
consumer  confidence,  interest  rates  and  commodity  prices.  In  addition,  changes  in  architectural  design  trends,  demographic 
trends,  and/or  remote  work  trends  could  negatively  impact  demand  for  our  products.  To  the  extent  changes  in  these  factors 
negatively impact the overall commercial construction industry, our revenue and profits could be significantly reduced. 

Our LSO segment primarily depends on the strength of the retail custom picture framing industry. This industry is dependent on 
consumer  confidence  and  the  conditions  of  the  U.S.  economy.  A  decline  in  consumer  confidence,  whether  as  a  result  of  an 
economic  slowdown  (due  to  COVID-19  concerns  discussed  above  or  otherwise),  uncertainty  regarding  the  future  or  other 
factors, could result in a decrease in net sales and operating income of this segment.

Global  instability  and  uncertainty  arising  from  events  outside  of  our  control,  such  as  significant  natural  disasters,  political 
crises, public health crises and pandemics, and/or other catastrophic events could materially affect our results of operations
Natural disasters, political crises, public health crises, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, and other catastrophic events or 
other events outside of our control, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, may negatively impact our facilities or the facilities 
of  third  parties  on  which  we  depend,  have  broader  adverse  impacts  on  the  commercial  construction  market,  consumer 
confidence and spending, and/or impact both the well-being of our employees and our ability to operate our facilities. These 
types of disruptions or other events outside of our control could affect our business negatively, cause delays or cancellation of 
commercial construction projects or cause us to temporarily close our facilities, harming our operating results. In addition, if 
any of our facilities, including our manufacturing, finishing or distribution facilities, or the facilities of our suppliers, third-party 
service providers, or customers, is affected by natural disasters, political crises, public health crises, or other catastrophic events 
or events outside of our control, our business and operating results could suffer. 

New competitors or specific actions of our existing competitors could materially harm our business
We operate in competitive industries in which the actions of our existing competitors or new competitors could result in loss of 
customers and/or market share. Changes in our competitors' products, prices or services could negatively impact our share of 
demand, net sales or margins.

Our Architectural Framing Systems and Architectural Glass segments have seen an increase in imports of products into the U.S. 
from  international  suppliers  due  to  the  relative  strength  of  the  U.S.  dollar.  If  foreign  imports  occur  at  increased  levels  for 
extended periods of time, our net sales and margins in those segments could be negatively impacted. 

Our  LSO  segment  competes  with  several  international  specialty  glass  manufacturers  and  international  and  domestic  acrylic 
suppliers.  If  these  competitors  are  able  to  successfully  improve  their  product  attributes,  service  capabilities  and  production 
capacity and/or increase their sales and marketing focus in the U.S. custom picture framing market, this segment's net sales and 
margins could be negatively impacted. 

Our customer dependence in the LSO segment creates a significant risk of reduced demand for our products
The LSO segment is highly dependent on a relatively small number of customers for its sales, while working to grow in new 
markets and with new customers. Accordingly, loss of a significant customer, a significant reduction in pricing, or a shift to a 
less favorable mix of value-added picture framing glass or acrylic products for one or more of those customers could materially 
reduce LSO net sales and operating results.  

Strategic Risks
We  could  be  unable  to  effectively  manage  and  implement  our  new  enterprise  strategy,  which  could  have  a  material  adverse 
effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our  growth  strategy  includes  differentiating  our  product  and  service  offerings,  shifting  our  business  mix  toward  higher 
operating margins and return on invested capital performance, and shifting away from our historical, decentralized operating 
model. Execution of this strategy will require additional investments of time and resources and could fail to achieve the desired 
results. For example, we may be unable to increase our sales and earnings by differentiating our product and service offerings in 
a cost-effective manner.  We may fail to accurately predict future customer needs and preferences, and thus focus on the wrong 
business mix. Our centralized operating system may not produce the desired operating efficiencies.

Risks related to acquisitions and integration activities could adversely affect our operating results
We have completed and may complete additional acquisitions in the future to accelerate the execution of our growth strategies, 
including  new  geographies,  adjacent  market  sectors  and  new  product  introductions.  There  are  risks  inherent  in  completing 
acquisitions, including:

10

•
•

•

•

•

diversion of management’s attention from existing business activities;
difficulties or delays in integrating and assimilating information and financial systems, operations and products of an 
acquired business or other business venture or in realizing projected efficiencies, growth prospects, cost savings and 
synergies;
potential loss of key employees, customers and suppliers of the acquired businesses or adverse effects on relationships 
with existing customers and suppliers;
adverse impact on overall profitability if the acquired business does not achieve the return on investment projected at 
the time of acquisition; and
with  respect  to  the  acquired  assets  and  liabilities,  inaccurate  assessment  of  additional  post-acquisition  capital 
investments; undisclosed, contingent or other liabilities; problems executing backlog of material supply or installation 
projects; unanticipated costs; and an inability to recover or manage such liabilities and costs.

If one or more of these risks were to arise in a material manner, our operating results could be negatively impacted.

Operational Risks
If  we  are  not  able  effectively  to  utilize  and  manage  our  manufacturing  capacity,  our  results  of  operations  will  be  negatively 
affected
Near-term performance depends, to a significant degree, on our ability to provide sufficient available capacity and appropriately 
utilize  existing  production  capacity.  The  failure  to  successfully  maintain  existing  capacity,  or  manage  unanticipated 
interruptions in production, successfully implement planned capacity expansions, and/or make timely investments in additional 
physical capacity and supporting technology systems could adversely affect our operating results. 

Loss of key personnel and inability to source sufficient labor could adversely affect our operating results
Our  success  depends  on  the  skills  of  the  Company's  leadership,  construction  project  managers  and  other  key  technical 
personnel,  and  our  ability  to  secure  sufficient  manufacturing  and  installation  labor.  In  recent  years,  strong  residential  and 
commercial construction and low U.S. unemployment have caused increased competition for experienced construction project 
managers and other labor. If we are unable to retain existing employees, provide a safe and healthy working environment, and/
or  recruit  and  train  additional  employees  with  the  requisite  skills  and  experience,  our  operating  results  could  be  adversely 
impacted.

Continuing inflation may negatively impact our profitability.
Rising  inflation,  interest  rates,  or  construction  costs  could  reduce  the  demand  for  our  products  and  services  and  impact  our 
profitability.  Higher  interest  rates  may  make  it  more  expensive  to  finance  construction  projects,  and  as  a  result,  reduce  the 
number of projects and the demand for our products and services.  Cost inflation, including significant cost increases for freight, 
aluminum, glass, paint and other materials used in our operations, has impacted, and could continue to impact, our profitability. 
The availability and price of necessary raw materials for our products may be negatively impacted by the international sanctions 
and  market  volatility  caused  by  Russia’s  invasion  of  Ukraine.  Continued  supply  and  demand  imbalances  for  these  resources 
may continue to exert upward pressure on costs.  Furthermore, in some of our segments, we operate on contracts wherein we 
bear part or all of the risk of inflation on materials costs and the cost of installation services. Our ability to mitigate these costs, 
or recover the cost increases through price increases, may continue to lag the cost increases, which could negatively impact our 
margins.

If we are unable to manage our supply and distribution chains effectively our results of operations will be negatively affected
Our Architectural Framing Systems and Architectural Services segments use aluminum as a significant input to their products 
and our operating results in those two segments could be negatively impacted by supply chain disruptions and adverse price 
movements in the market for raw aluminum. In recent years, we have seen increased volatility in the price of aluminum that we 
purchase from both domestic and international sources. Due to our Architectural Framing Systems segment presence in Canada, 
we  have  significant  cross-border  activity,  as  our  Canadian  businesses  purchase  inputs  from  U.S.-based  suppliers  and  sell  to 
U.S.-based customers.  A significant change in U.S. trade policy with Canada could, therefore, have an adverse impact on our 
net sales and operating results.

Our Architectural Glass and LSO segments use raw glass as a significant input to their products. We periodically experience a 
tighter supply of raw glass when there is growth in automotive manufacturing and residential and non-residential construction. 
Failure to acquire a sufficient amount of raw glass on terms as favorable as current terms, including as a result of a significant 
unplanned downtime or shift in strategy at one or more of our key suppliers, could negatively impact our operating results.

Our suppliers are subject to the fluctuations in general economic cycles. Global economic conditions may impact their ability to 
operate their businesses, including recent impacts from the evolving COVID-19 pandemic. They may also be impacted by the 
increasing costs or availability of raw materials, labor and distribution, resulting in demands for less attractive contract terms or 
an inability for them to meet our requirements or conduct their own businesses. The performance and financial condition of one 

11

 
or more suppliers may cause us to alter our business terms or to cease doing business with a particular supplier or suppliers, or 
change our sourcing practices generally, which could in turn adversely affect our business and financial condition. 

If  we  encounter  problems  with  distribution,  our  ability  to  deliver  our  products  to  market  could  be  adversely  affected.  Our 
operations are vulnerable to interruptions in the event of work stoppages, whether due to health concerns, such as COVID-19 or 
otherwise,  labor  disputes  or  shortages,  and  natural  disasters  that  may  affect  our  distribution  and  transportation  to  job  sites. 
Moreover, our distribution system includes computer-controlled and automated equipment, which may be subject to a number 
of  risks  related  to  data  and  system  security  or  computer  viruses,  the  proper  operation  of  software  and  hardware,  power 
interruptions or other system failures. If we encounter problems with our distribution systems, our ability to meet customer and 
consumer  expectations,  manage  inventory,  manage  transportation-related  costs,  complete  sales  and  achieve  operating 
efficiencies could be adversely affected. 

Product quality issues and product liability claims could adversely affect our operating results
We manufacture and/or install a significant portion of our products based on the specific requirements of each customer. We 
believe that future orders of our products or services will depend on our ability to maintain the performance, reliability, quality 
and timely delivery standards required by our customers. We have in the past and are currently subject to product liability and 
warranty claims, including certain legal claims related to a commercial sealant product formerly incorporated into our products, 
and there is no certainty we will prevail on these claims.  If our products have performance, reliability or quality problems, or 
products are installed using incompatible glazing materials or installed improperly (by us or a customer), we may experience 
additional warranty and other expenses; reduced or canceled orders; higher manufacturing or installation costs; or delays in the 
collection of accounts receivable.  Additionally, product liability and warranty claims, including relating to the performance, 
reliability  or  quality  of  our  products  and  services,  could  result  in  costly  and  time-consuming  litigation  that  could  require 
significant  time  and  attention  of  management  and  involve  significant  monetary  damages  that  could  negatively  impact  our 
operating results. There is also no assurance that the number and value of product liability and warranty claims will not increase 
as compared to historical claim rates, or that our warranty reserve at any particular time is sufficient. No assurance can be given 
that coverage under insurance policies, if applicable, will be adequate to cover future product liability claims against us. If we 
are unable to recover on insurance claims, in whole or in part, or if we exhaust our available insurance coverage at some point 
in the future, then we might be forced to expend legal fees and settlement or judgment costs, which could negatively impact our 
profitability, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Project management and installation issues could adversely affect our operating results
Some of our segments are awarded fixed-price contracts that include material supply and installation services. Often, bids are 
required before all aspects of a construction project are known. An underestimate in the amount of labor required and/or cost of 
materials  for  a  project;  a  change  in  the  timing  of  the  delivery  of  product;  system  design  errors;  difficulties  or  errors  in 
execution; or significant project delays, caused by us or other trades, could result in failure to achieve the expected results. Any 
one or more of such issues could result in losses on individual contracts that could negatively impact our operating results.

Difficulties in maintaining our information technology systems, and potential cybersecurity threats, could negatively affect our 
operating results and/or our reputation
Our  operations  are  dependent  upon  various  information  technology  systems  that  are  used  to  process,  transmit  and  store 
electronic information, and to manage or support our manufacturing operations and a variety of other business processes and 
activities,  some  of  which  are  managed  by  third-parties.  We  could  encounter  difficulties  in  maintaining  our  existing  systems, 
developing and implementing new systems or in our efforts to standardize information technology systems across our business 
units.    Such  difficulties  could  lead  to  disruption  in  business  operations  and/or  significant  additional  expenses  that  could 
adversely affect our results. 

Additionally, our information technology and Internet based systems, and those of our third-party service providers, are subject 
to  cyber-attacks  of  increasing  frequency  and  sophistication.  These  systems  have  in  the  past  been,  and  may  in  the  future  be, 
subject to cyber-attacks and other attempts to gain unauthorized access, breach, damage, disrupt or otherwise compromise such 
systems,  none  of  which  have  been  material  to  us  to  date.  These  cyber  threats  pose  a  risk  to  the  security  of  our  systems  and 
networks,  and  the  confidentiality,  availability  and  integrity  of  our  data.  Should  such  an  attack  succeed,  it  could  lead  to  the 
compromise  of  confidential  information,  manipulation  and  destruction  of  data  and  product  specifications,  production 
downtimes, disruption in the availability of financial data, or misrepresentation of information via digital media. The occurrence 
of any of these events could adversely affect our reputation and could result in litigation, loss of data and intellectual property, 
regulatory  action,  project  delay  claims,  and  increased  costs  and  operational  consequences  of  implementing  further  data 
protection systems.

Violations of legal and regulatory compliance requirements, including environmental laws, and changes in existing legal and 
regulatory requirements, may have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.
We are subject to a legal and regulatory framework imposed under federal and state laws and regulatory agencies, including 

12

laws and regulations that apply specifically to U.S. public companies and laws and regulations applicable to our manufacturing 
and construction site operations.  Our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and reporting standards may increase 
our general and administrative expenses, divert management time and attention, or limit our operational flexibility, all of which 
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations. Additionally, new laws, rules, 
and  regulations,  or  changes  to  existing  laws  or  their  interpretations,  could  create  added  legal  and  compliance  costs  and 
uncertainty for us. 

We  use  hazardous  materials  in  our  manufacturing  operations,  and  have  air  and  water  emissions  that  require  controls. 
Accordingly, we are also subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing the 
storage and use of hazardous materials and disposal of wastes. A violation of such laws and regulations, or a release of such 
substances, may expose us to various claims, including claims by third parties, as well as remediation costs and fines.

Financial Risks
We are self-insured for certain costs associated with our operations and an increase in our insurance claims and expenses may 
have a material negative impact on our operating results
We  obtain  third-party  insurance  to  provide  coverage  for  potential  risk  in  areas  such  as  employment  practices,  workers' 
compensation, directors and officers, automobile, engineer's errors and omissions, product rework and general liability, as well 
as medical insurance and various other coverages. However, we retain a high amount of risk on a self-insured basis through our 
wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, in particular for product liability, medical and workers’ compensation claims. Therefore, a 
significant increase in the number or size of these claims could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. 

Foreign currency effects could negatively affect our sales and operating income
When  the  U.S.  dollar  strengthens  against  foreign  currencies,  imports  of  products  into  the  U.S.  produced  by  international 
competitors become more price competitive and exports of our U.S.-fabricated products become less price competitive. If we 
are not able to counteract these types of price pressures through superior quality, service and prudent hedging programs, our net 
sales  and  operating  income  could  be  negatively  impacted.  Additionally,  our  international  subsidiaries  report  their  results  of 
operations and financial position in their relevant functional currencies (local country currency), which are then translated into 
U.S. dollars. As the relationship between these currencies and the U.S. dollar changes, there could be a negative impact on our 
reported results and financial position.

Results can differ significantly from our expectations and the expectations of analysts, which could have an adverse affect on 
the market price of our common stock
Our sales and earnings guidance and resulting external analyst estimates are largely based on our view of our business and the 
broader commercial construction market. Further, there is additional risk in our ability to accurately forecast our operational and 
financial  performance  and  provide  earnings  guidance  as  a  result  of  evolving  conditions  because  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic 
and  related  economic  downturn,  continued  inflationary  cost  increases  and  uncertainty  resulting  from  the  Russian  invasion  of 
Ukraine. Failure to meet our guidance or analyst expectations for net sales and earnings would have an adverse impact on the 
market price of our common stock. 

We may experience further impairment of our goodwill, indefinite- and finite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, in 
the future, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations
Our  assets  include  a  significant  amount  of  goodwill,  indefinite-  and  finite-lived  intangible  assets  and  long-lived  assets.  We 
evaluate goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in our fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently 
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. We evaluate 
finite-lived  intangible  assets  and  long-lived  assets  for  impairment  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying value of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of impairment involves significant judgment and 
projections about future performance. 

Based  on  our  annual  impairment  valuation  analysis  performed  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2022,  there  was  no  goodwill 
impairment identified.  During fiscal 2021, our annual impairment analysis determined impairment of goodwill at two of our 
reporting units within the Architectural Framing Systems segment and we determined impairment of our EFCO trade name. As 
a  result,  in  the  prior  year,  we  recorded  a  goodwill  impairment  expense  and  an  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset  impairment 
expense of $63.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively. 

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2022,  based  on  the  finalization  of  our  plans  for  integrating  the  Sotawall  business  into  the 
Architectural Services segment, beginning in fiscal 2023, we determined impairment of indefinite and finite-lived intangibles 
within the Architectural Framing Systems segment and we recorded intangible impairment expense of $49.5 million. Refer to 
additional information included within Notes 1 and 6 to the Financial Statements contained in Item 8 within this Annual Report 
on Form 10-K.

13

The discounted cash flow projections and revenue projections used in these analyses are dependent upon achieving forecasted 
levels of revenue and profitability. If revenue or profitability were to fall below forecasted levels, or if market conditions were 
to decline in a material or sustained manner, further impairment could be indicated and we could incur an additional non-cash 
impairment expense that would negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the 
construction  supply  and  services  industry,  the  Company  is  routinely  involved  in  various  disputes  and  claims  arising  out  of 
construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. We have in the past and are 
currently subject to product liability and warranty claims, including certain legal claims related to a commercial sealant product 
formerly  incorporated  into  our  products.  The  Company  is  also  subject  to  litigation  arising  out  of  areas  such  as  employment 
practices, workers compensation and general liability matters. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of 
any such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no matters will result in losses that would have a material adverse 
effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

We selected the Standard & Poor's Small Cap 600 Growth Index as an index of companies with similar market capitalization 
because we are unable to identify a peer group of companies similar to us in size and scope of business activities or a widely 
recognized published industry index that accurately reflects our diverse business activities. Most of our direct competitors in 
our various business units are either privately owned or divisions of larger, publicly owned companies.  

ITEM 6. [RESERVED]

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS 

Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including Management's Discussion and Analysis, contains “forward-looking statements” 
within  the  meaning  of  the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.  These  statements  reflect  our  current  views  with 
respect  to  future  events  and  financial  performance.  The  words  “believe,”  “expect,”  “anticipate,”  “intend,”  “estimate,” 
“forecast,” “project,” “should,” "will," "continue" and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” 
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forecasts and projections in this document are 
“forward-looking  statements,”  and  are  based  on  management's  current  expectations  or  beliefs  of  the  Company's  near-term 
results, based on current information available pertaining to the Company, including the risk factors noted under Item 1A in this 
Form 10-K. From time to time, we also may provide oral and written forward-looking statements in other materials we release 
to the public, such as press releases, presentations to securities analysts or investors, or other communications by the Company. 
Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different 
from actual results.

Accordingly,  we  wish  to  caution  investors  that  any  forward-looking  statements  made  by  or  on  behalf  of  the  Company  are 
subject  to  uncertainties  and  other  factors  that  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  such  statements.  These 
uncertainties  and  other  risk  factors  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  the  risks  and  uncertainties  set  forth  under  Item  1A  in  this 
Form 10-K, all of which are incorporated by reference into this Item 7.

We wish to caution investors that other factors might in the future prove to be important in affecting the Company's results of 
operations. New factors emerge from time to time; it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess 
the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual 
results  to  differ  materially  from  those  contained  in  any  forward-looking  statements.  We  undertake  no  obligation  to  update 
publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview
We  are  a  leader  in  the  design  and  development  of  value-added  glass  and  metal  products  and  services.  Our  four  reporting 
segments  are:  Architectural  Framing  Systems,  Architectural  Glass,  Architectural  Services  and  Large-Scale  Optical 
Technologies (LSO). 

During  fiscal  2022,  we  conducted  a  strategic  review  of  our  business  and  the  markets  we  serve  in  order  to  establish  a  new 
enterprise  strategy  with  three  key  elements,  as  discussed  in  Item  1  on  page  4  of  this  Form  10-K.  As  part  of  executing  our 
enterprise strategy, during the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we announced plans to realign and simplify our business structure 
which resulted in the closure of two facilities within the Architectural Glass segment, in Dallas, Texas and Statesboro, Georgia. 
These closures were made in order to focus the Architectural Glass segment on premium, high-performance products. During 
the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2022,  we  finalized  plans  for  integrating  the  Sotawall  business  into  the  Architectural  Services 
segment, beginning in fiscal 2023, and as a result, we recorded impairment expense of $49.5 million on indefinite- and finite-
lived intangible assets. During fiscal 2022, we saw inflation on raw materials and freight, which we were able to largely offset 
with  pricing  actions  by  the  end  of  our  fiscal  fourth  quarter.  We  also  have  experienced  supply  chain  challenges  during  fiscal 
2022 but are actively working to ensure continued supply of key materials.      

Fiscal 2022 summary of results:

(1) Income tax impact calculated using an estimated statutory tax rate of 25%, which reflects the estimated blended statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction 
in which the charge or income occurred. Income tax impact in the current year excludes the tax benefit related to the impairment expense in certain 
jurisdictions due to a tax valuation allowance. In the prior year, income tax impact excludes the amount of impairment expense that is non-deductible in the 
applicable jurisdiction.

Adjusted  operating  income  and  adjusted  earnings  per  diluted  share  (adjusted  diluted  EPS)  are  supplemental  non-GAAP 
financial  measures  provided  by  the  Company  to  assess  performance  on  a  more  comparable  basis  from  period-to-period  by 
excluding  amounts  that  management  does  not  consider  part  of  core  operating  results.  Management  uses  these  non-GAAP 
measures  to  evaluate  the  Company’s  historical  and  prospective  financial  performance,  measure  operational  profitability  on  a 
consistent basis, and provide enhanced transparency to the investment community.

Return on average invested capital (ROIC) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as operating income (adjusted for 
certain items that are unusual in nature or whose fluctuations from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in 
the  operations  of  the  Company)  after  tax,  divided  by  average  invested  capital.  We  believe  this  measure  is  useful  in 
understanding  operational  performance  and  capital  allocation  over  time.  This  measure  is  not  calculated  in  accordance  with 
GAAP. Certain information necessary to calculate this measure on a GAAP basis is dependent on future events, some of which 
are beyond our control, and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts. It is important to note that these factors could be 
material to Apogee’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported financial results of the 
Company prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, thereby limiting the 
usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies.

Fiscal 2022 Compared to Fiscal 2021 
Net  sales  in  fiscal  2022  increased  by  6.8  percent  compared  to  fiscal  2021,  driven  by  record  revenue  in  the  LSO  and 
Architectural  Services  segments  and  growth  in  the  Architectural  Framing  Systems  segment,  partially  offset  by  decreased 
volume in the Architectural Glass Segment. 

Fiscal 2021 Compared to Fiscal 2020
Net  sales  in  fiscal  2021  decreased  by  11.3  percent  compared  to  fiscal  2020,  reflecting  end  market  softness  and  COVID-19 
related  volume  declines  in  the  Architectural  Framing  Systems,  Architectural  Glass  and  LSO  segments,  partially  offset  by 
increased volume in the Architectural Services segment, driven by execution of projects in backlog.

Fiscal 2022 Compared to Fiscal 2021
Gross  margin  was  20.9  percent  in  fiscal  2022,  a  decrease  of  150  basis  points  from  fiscal  2021.  This  decrease  was  driven  by 
$28.2  million  of  restructuring  costs  included  in  cost  of  sales  incurred  during  fiscal  2022  related  to  restructuring  actions 
announced  in  August  2021,  as  well  as  inflationary  pressure  on  raw  materials  and  freight  within  the  Architectural  Glass  and 
Architectural Framing Systems segments. These costs were partially offset by $19.5 million of gain on sale of assets related to 
the sale of a manufacturing facility in the Architectural Glass segment and by positive impacts from continued recovery of the 
LSO segment (which closed for most of the first and second quarters of the prior year, based on COVID-related government 
directives). 

Total  selling,  general  and  administrative  (SG&A)  expense  for  fiscal  2022,  including  impairment  expense  on  goodwill  and 
intangible assets noted in the table above, was 19.2 percent, a decrease of 110 basis points from fiscal 2021. This was driven by 
a $49.4 million impairment expense taken within the Architectural Framing Systems segment during the current year compared 

18

    
to a $70.1 million impairment expense taken within the Architectural Framing Systems segment in the prior year. In addition, 
we received a benefit of $4.9 million in fiscal 2022 compared to $7.4 million in fiscal 2021, as a result of a Canadian wage 
subsidy  program  offered  to  support  Canadian  business  impacted  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  thereby  offsetting  cost  actions 
that would have been taken had this subsidy not been secured. 

Net  interest  expense  declined  by  10  basis  points  compared  to  the  prior  year,  due  to  the  lower  average  debt  balance  in  fiscal 
2022.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 was 74.9 percent, compared to 31.7 percent in fiscal 2021, primarily due to the valuation 
allowance recorded against the tax benefit of the Sotawall impairment and the impact of certain permanent items in relation to 
reduced earnings in fiscal 2022.

Fiscal 2021 Compared to Fiscal 2020 
Gross margin was 22.4 percent in fiscal 2021, a decrease of 60 basis points from fiscal 2020. This decrease was driven by the 
impact from lower volumes due to end market softness and COVID-19 related project delays, partially offset by strong project 
execution in the Architectural Services segment.  

SG&A expense for fiscal 2021  including impairment expense on goodwill and intangible assets noted in the table above, was 
20.3 percent,  an increase of 360 basis points from fiscal 2020. This was driven by a $70.1 million impairment expense taken 
within the Architectural Framing Systems segment, partially offset by a $19.3 million gain on the sale-leaseback of a building 
within the Large-Scale Optical segment and $7.4 million of income related to a New Markets Tax Credit transaction within the 
Architectural Glass segment. In addition, we received a benefit of $7.4 million in fiscal 2021, as a result of a Canadian wage 
subsidy  program  offered  to  support  Canadian  business  impacted  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  thereby  offsetting  cost  actions 
that would have been taken had this subsidy not been secured. 

Net interest expense declined by 30 basis points compared to the prior year, due to the lower average debt balance in fiscal 2021 
and a favorable one-time legal settlement impacting interest.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2021 was 31.7 percent, compared to 22.4 percent in fiscal 2020, primarily due to nondeductible 
goodwill  impairment  in  Canada  and  the  impact  of  the  unfavorable  permanent  items  in  relation  to  reduced  earnings  in  fiscal 
2021.

Fiscal 2022 Compared to Fiscal 2021. Net sales increased 4.5 percent, or $25.8 million, from fiscal 2021, primarily reflecting 
flow through from pricing actions taken to offset inflation, partially offset by lower volume. The segment had an operating loss 
of  $16.7  million  and  operating  margin  of  (2.8)  percent  in  fiscal  2022  compared  to  an  operating  loss  of  $44.8  million  and 
operating  margin  of  (7.8)  percent  in  fiscal  2021,  reflecting  the  impact  of  the  $49.5  million  and  $70.1  million  impairment 
expense and $1.7 million and $4.4 million of restructuring charges in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively, partially offset 
by the benefit of $4.9 million and $7.4 million in fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, from a Canadian wage subsidy program 
offered to Canadian businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fiscal  2021  Compared  to  Fiscal  2020.  Net  sales  decreased  16.9  percent,  or  $115.7  million,  from  fiscal  2020,  primarily

operating margin of 5.3 percent in fiscal 2020, reflecting the impact of the $70.1 million impairment expense and leverage on 
the lower revenue, partially offset by cost reduction actions and the benefit of $7.4 million in fiscal 2021 from a Canadian wage 
subsidy program offered to Canadian businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fiscal  2022  Compared  to  Fiscal  2021.  Fiscal  2022  net  sales  decreased  6.4  percent,  or  $21.0  million,  over  the  prior  year, 
primarily reflecting lower volume. Operating margin decreased 510 basis points for the fiscal year ended 2022 compared to the 
prior  year  period,  as  a  result  of  $27.1  million  of  restructuring  costs  during  the  current  year,  as  well  as  the  impact  of  higher 
material and freight costs from inflation, partially offset by $19.5 million gain on sale of a manufacturing facility in Georgia. 
The prior year period also included $7.4 million of income related to a New Markets Tax Credit transaction.

Fiscal 2021 Compared to Fiscal 2020. Fiscal 2021 net sales decreased 14.7 percent, or $56.9 million, over fiscal 2020, due to 
market-related volume declines and project delays. Operating margin increased 30 basis points for the fiscal year ended 2021 
compared to fiscal 2020, as a result of $7.4 million of income related to a New Markets Tax Credit transaction, offset by the 
impacts of lower volume and increased costs related to the small projects growth initiative.

Fiscal 2022 Compared to Fiscal 2021. Fiscal 2021 net sales increased 45.1 percent, or $31.6 million, compared to the prior 
year, reflecting a more favorable sales mix, as demand recovered from the impact of COVID in the prior year period. In fiscal 
2021, most of the segment's customers and the segment's manufacturing operations were closed for a large part of the first and 
second quarters to comply with COVID-related government directives. The segment had operating margin of 23.2 percent in 
fiscal 2022 compared to operating margin of 44.5 percent in fiscal 2021, reflecting the impact of a $19.3 million gain on the 
sale-leaseback  of  a  building  recognized  during  the  third  quarter  of  the  prior  year,  partially  offset  by  the  impacts  of  the 
temporary shutdown and the related lower volume. 

Fiscal 2021 Compared to Fiscal 2020. Fiscal 2021 net sales decreased 20.3 percent, or $17.9 million, compared to fiscal 2020, 
as a result of the required COVID-related closure of most of the segment's customers and the segment's manufacturing locations 
for  several  months  during  the  first  half  of  fiscal  2021.  The  segment  had  operating  margin  of  44.5  percent  in  fiscal  2021 
compared to operating margin of 25.8 percent in fiscal 2020, reflecting the impact of a $19.3 million gain on the sale-leaseback 
of a building recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2021, partially offset by the impacts of the temporary shutdown and 
the related lower volume.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $100.5 million in fiscal 2022, a decrease of $41.4 million from 
fiscal 2021, primarily reflecting a decline in net earnings during the current fiscal year and the benefit in the prior year from 
reduced working capital and temporary actions related to the pandemic.  

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $9.3 million in fiscal 2022, compared to net cash used by 
investing activities of $2.1 million in fiscal 2021, due to an increase of $5.5 million of proceeds from property sales in fiscal 
2022  compared  to  fiscal  2021,  related  to  the  sale  of  an  Architectural  Glass  manufacturing  facility  in  Georgia  in  the  fourth 
quarter of fiscal 2022, and reduced capital expenditures by $4.3 million in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. In fiscal 2021, 
we sold an LSO manufacturing facility in Illinois, and in fiscal 2020, we sold an Architectural Framing manufacturing facility 
in Toronto.  

Financing Activities. Cash used by financing activities was $120.6 million in fiscal 2022, compared to $107.9 million in fiscal 
2021.  In  fiscal  2022,  we  paid  dividends  totaling  $20.3  million  and  repurchased  2,292,846  shares  under  our  authorized  share 
repurchase program, at a total cost of $100.0 million. We repurchased 1,177,704 shares under the program in fiscal 2021 and 
686,997  shares  under  the  program  in  fiscal  2020.  We  have  repurchased  a  total  of  9,425,462  shares,  at  a  total  cost  of  $307.3 
million,  since  the  2004  inception  of  this  program.  We  have  remaining  authority  to  repurchase  1,824,538  shares  under  this 
program, which has no expiration date, and we will continue to evaluate making future share repurchases, depending on our 
cash flow and debt levels, market conditions, including the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other potential 
uses of cash.

As  of  February  26,  2022,  no  borrowings  were  outstanding  under  the  revolving  credit  facility.  As  defined  within  the  credit 
facility, we have two affirmative financial covenants which require us to stay below a maximum leverage ratio and to maintain 
a minimum interest expense-to-EBITDA ratio. At February 26, 2022, we were in compliance with both financial covenants.

Other  Financing  Activities.  The  following  summarizes  our  significant  contractual  obligations  that  impact  our  liquidity  as  of

Payments Due by Fiscal Period

Debt  obligations  in  the  table  above  include  a  $150.0  million  term  loan  that  matures  in  fiscal  2025  and  $13.0  million  of 
industrial revenue bond obligations that mature in fiscal years 2023 through 2043.

We acquire the use of certain assets through operating leases, such as warehouses, manufacturing equipment, office equipment, 
hardware, software and vehicles. While many of these operating leases have termination penalties, we consider the risk related 
to termination penalties to be minimal.

Purchase obligations in the table above relate to raw material commitments and capital expenditures.

We expect to make contributions of approximately $0.7 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2023, which will 
equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As  of  February  26,  2022,  we  had  reserves  of  $3.3  million  and  $0.5  million  for  long-term  unrecognized  tax  benefits  and 
environmental  liabilities,  respectively.  We  are  unable  to  reasonably  estimate  in  which  future  periods  the  remaining 
unrecognized tax benefits will ultimately be settled.

At  February  26,  2022,  we  had  ongoing  letters  of  credit  of  $16.4  million  related  to  industrial  revenue  bonds,  construction 
contracts and insurance collateral that expire in fiscal 2023 and reduce borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility.

In  addition  to  the  above  standby  letters  of  credit,  we  are  required,  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  to  provide  surety  or 
performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance. At February 26, 2022, $352.5 million of 
our  backlog  was  bonded  by  performance  bonds  with  a  face  value  of  $1.2  billion.  These  bonds  do  not  have  stated  expiration 
dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have not been required to make any payments 
under these bonds with respect to our existing businesses.

During calendar 2020, we took advantage of the option to defer remittance of the employer portion of Social Security tax as 
provided  in  the  Coronavirus,  Aid,  Relief  and  Economic  Security  Act  (CARES  Act).  This  deferral  allowed  us  to  retain  cash 
during  calendar  year  2020  that  would  have  otherwise  been  remitted  to  the  federal  government.  During  the  fourth  quarter  of 
fiscal 2022, we repaid half of the deferred tax payments in the amount of $6.8 million, with a remaining amount of $6.8 million 
included within accrued payroll and other benefits on our consolidated balance sheets to be repaid in calendar year 2022. 

We  had  total  cash  and  short-term  marketable  securities  of  $37.6  million,  and  $218.6  million  available  under  our  committed 
revolving credit facility, at February 26, 2022. We believe that cash flows from operating activities will be adequate to meet our 
short-term  and  long-term  liquidity  and  capital  expenditure  needs.  In  addition,  we  believe  we  have  the  ability  to  obtain  both 
short-term and long-term debt to meet our financing needs for the foreseeable future. We also believe we will continue to be in 
compliance with our existing debt covenants over the next fiscal year.

We continually review our portfolio of businesses and their assets and how they support our business strategy and performance 
objectives.  As  part  of  this  review,  we  may  acquire  other  businesses,  pursue  geographic  expansion,  take  actions  to  manage 
capacity and further invest in, divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements at February 26, 2022 or February 27, 2021 that had or are reasonably likely to have a 
current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, 
liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

Outlook
The Company is providing initial guidance for fiscal year 2023, with full year adjusted earnings expected to be in the range of 
$2.90 to $3.30 per diluted share.  The Company expects revenue growth in fiscal 2023, led by the flow through of inflation-
related pricing actions in Architectural Framing Systems.  The Company forecasts full year capital expenditures of $35 to $40 
million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our analysis of operations and financial condition is based on our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with 
U.S. GAAP. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the 
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, reported amounts of revenues and 
expenses during the reporting period and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In developing these estimates 
and assumptions, a collaborative effort is undertaken involving management across the organization, including finance, sales, 
project  management,  quality,  risk,  legal  and  tax,  as  well  as  outside  advisors,  such  as  consultants,  engineers,  lawyers  and 
actuaries. Our estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are drawn from historical experience and other assumptions that 
we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ under other assumptions or circumstances. 

We consider the following items in our consolidated financial statements to require significant estimation or judgment.

Revenue recognition
We generate revenue from the design, engineering and fabrication of architectural glass, curtainwall, window, storefront and 
entrance  systems,  and  from  installing  those  products  on  commercial  buildings.  We  also  manufacture  value-added  glass  and 
acrylic products. Due to the diverse nature of our operations and various types of contracts with customers, we have businesses 
that recognize revenue over time and businesses that recognize revenue at a point in time. We believe the most significant areas 
of estimation and judgment relate to over-time revenue recognition on longer-term contracts.

We have three businesses which operate under long-term, fixed-price contracts, representing approximately 38 percent of our 
total revenue in fiscal February 26, 2022. The contracts for these businesses have a single, bundled performance obligation, as 
these businesses generally provide interrelated products and services and integrate these products and services into a combined 
output specified by the customer. The customer obtains control of this combined output, generally integrated window systems 
or installed window and curtainwall systems, over time. We measure progress on these contracts following an input method, by 
comparing  total  costs  incurred  to-date  to  the  total  estimated  costs  for  the  contract,  and  record  that  proportion  of  the  total 
contract  price  as  revenue  in  the  period.  Contract  costs  include  materials,  labor  and  other  direct  costs  related  to  contract 
performance.  We  believe  this  method  of  recognizing  revenue  is  consistent  with  our  progress  in  satisfying  our  contract 
obligations.

Due  to  the  nature  of  the  work  required  under  these  long-term  contracts,  the  estimation  of  costs  incurred  and  remaining  to 
complete on a project is subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. It is common for these contracts to contain 
potential bonuses or penalties which are generally awarded or charged upon certain project milestones or cost or timing targets, 
and can be based on customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to 
be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of 
cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our 
estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based 
largely on our assessments of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably 
available to us.

Long-term  contracts  are  often  modified  to  account  for  changes  in  contract  specifications  and  requirements  of  work  to  be 
performed. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification, generally through a change order, either creates 
new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations, and we evaluate these types of modifications to determine whether 
they may be considered distinct performance obligations. In many cases, these contract modifications are for goods or services 
that are not distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract. 
Therefore, these modifications are generally accounted for as part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification 
on  the  transaction  price  and  our  measure  of  progress  is  recognized  as  an  adjustment  to  revenue,  generally  on  a  cumulative 
catch-up basis.

Impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets
Goodwill
We have historically evaluated goodwill for impairment annually at our year-end, or more frequently if events or changes in 
circumstances  indicate  the  carrying  value  of  the  goodwill  may  not  be  recoverable.  In  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2021,  we 
changed the date of our annual goodwill impairment test from our fiscal year-end to the first day in our fiscal fourth quarter. 
This change results in better alignment of the annual impairment test with our strategic and annual planning processes, and we 
will  follow  this  new  cadence  for  our  annual  impairment  valuations  going  forward.  This  change  was  determined  not  to  be 
material to and had no impact on our current or historical consolidated financial statements.

Evaluating  goodwill  for  impairment  involves  the  determination  of  the  fair  value  of  each  reporting  unit  in  which  goodwill  is 
recorded using a qualitative or quantitative analysis. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating 
segment for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed by segment management on a regular basis. During 
the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we combined certain reporting units to form two reporting units, following certain structural and 
leadership changes at the Company, specifically within the Architectural Framing Systems segment. Within this segment, as a 
result of integration efforts that are ongoing, leadership over our Wausau, EFCO and Sotawall reporting units were combined to 
form the Window and Wall Systems reporting unit, and our Linetec and Tubelite reporting units were combined to form the 
Storefront and Finishing Solutions reporting unit. With these organizational changes, Architectural Framing Systems segment 
management  regularly  reviews  and  evaluates  the  results  of  the  Window  and  Wall  Systems  and  Storefront  and  Finishing 
Solutions  reporting  units.  Additionally,  functional  leaders  in  areas  such  as  operations,  sales,  marketing  and  general  and 
administrative  areas  are  responsible  for  allocating  resources  and  reviewing  results  of  the  Window  and  Wall  Systems  and 
Storefront  and  Finishing  Solutions  reporting  units.  The  goodwill  of  the  five  individual  pre-integration  reporting  units  was 
aggregated to the respective combined reporting units. We evaluated goodwill on a qualitative basis prior to and subsequent to 
this  change  and  concluded  no  adjustment  to  the  carrying  value  of  goodwill  was  necessary  as  a  result  of  this  change.  The 

23

reporting units for our fiscal 2022 annual impairment test align with reporting segments, with the exception of our Architectural 
Framing  Systems  segment,  which  contains  two  reporting  units,  Window  and  Wall  Systems  and  Storefront  and  Finishing 
Solutions, which represent $55.6 million and $37.6 million, of the goodwill balance at February 26, 2022, respectively.

For our fiscal 2022 annual impairment test, we elected to bypass the qualitative assessment process and to proceed directly to 
comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units to carrying value, including goodwill. If fair value exceeds the carrying 
value, goodwill impairment is not indicated. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is higher than its estimated fair value, the 
excess is recognized as an impairment expense. 

We estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using both the income approach and the market approach.  The income approach 
uses  a  discounted  cash  flow  methodology  that  involves  significant  judgment  and  projections  of  future  performance. 
Assumptions  about  future  revenues  and  future  operating  expenses,  capital  expenditures  and  changes  in  working  capital  are 
based  on  the  annual  operating  plan  and  other  business  plans  for  each  reporting  unit.  These  plans  take  into  consideration 
numerous factors, including historical experience, current and future operational plans, anticipated future economic conditions 
and growth expectations for the industries and end markets in which we participate. These projections are discounted using a 
weighted-average cost of capital, which considers the risk inherent in our projections of future cash flows.  We determine the 
weighted-average cost of capital for this analysis by weighting the required returns on interest bearing debt and common equity 
capital in proportion to their estimated percentages in an expected capital structure, using published data where possible. We 
used  discount  rates  that  are  commensurate  with  the  risks  and  uncertainties  inherent  in  the  respective  businesses  and  in  the 
internally developed forecasts. The market approach uses a multiple of earnings and revenue based on guidelines for publicly 
traded companies.

Based on these analyses, estimated fair value exceeded carrying value at all of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow 
projections  used  in  these  analyses  are  dependent  upon  achieving  forecasted  levels  of  revenue  and  profitability.  If  revenue  or 
profitability  were  to  fall  below  forecasted  levels,  or  if  market  conditions  were  to  decline  in  a  material  or  sustained  manner,  
impairment could be indicated at these or our other reporting units and we could incur non-cash impairment expense that would 
negatively impact our net earnings.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets
We have intangible assets for certain acquired trade names and trademarks which are determined to have indefinite useful lives. 
We  evaluate  the  reasonableness  of  the  useful  lives  and  test  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  for  impairment  annually  at  the 
same  measurement  date  as  goodwill,  the  first  day  of  our  fiscal  fourth  quarter,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances  indicate  that  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  the  asset  is  impaired.  We  bypassed  a  qualitative  assessment  and 
performed  a  quantitative  impairment  test  to  compare  the  fair  value  of  each  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset  with  its  carrying 
value. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment expense is recognized in 
an amount equal to that excess. If an impairment expense is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount becomes the asset's new 
accounting basis. 

Fair value is measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the trade name or trademark has value to the 
extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from the asset. This method requires 
estimation of future revenue from the related asset, the appropriate royalty rate, and the weighted average cost of capital. The 
assessment of fair value involves significant judgment and projections about future performance. In the fair value analysis, we 
assumed a discount rate of 12.3 percent, a royalty rate of 1.5 percent, and a long-term growth rate of 3.0 percent. Based on our 
annual analysis, the fair value of each of our trade names and trademarks exceeded the carrying amount, however, based on the 
finalization of our plans for integrating the Sotawall business into the Architectural Services segment, beginning in fiscal 2023, 
it was determined that the carrying value of the Sotawall trade name exceeded fair value by $12.7 million as it was determined 
to have an immaterial fair value as of fiscal 2022 year end. This amount was recognized as impairment expense in the fourth 
quarter ended February 26, 2022.

We continue to conclude that the useful lives of our remaining indefinite-lived intangible assets is appropriate. If future revenue 
were  to  fall  below  forecasted  levels  or  if  market  conditions  were  to  decline  in  a  material  or  sustained  manner,  further 
impairment could be indicated on these indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets or asset groups, including intangible assets subject to amortization and property and equipment, are reviewed 
for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  of  those  assets  may  not  be 
recoverable. We use undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measure any impairment loss using 
discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of long-lived assets. Due to triggering events as a result of finalization of our 
plans  for  integrating  the  Sotawall  business  into  the  Architectural  Services  segment,  beginning  in  fiscal  2023,  we  determined 
that the finite-lived intangible assets were impaired as of February 26, 2022. As such, a long-lived asset impairment charge of 

24

$36.7 million in finite-lived intangible assets was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 within the Architectural 
Framing Systems segment. 

Reserves for disputes and claims regarding product liability, warranties and other project-related contingencies
We  are  subject  to  claims  associated  with  our  products  and  services,  principally  as  a  result  of  disputes  with  our  customers 
involving the performance or aesthetics of our products, some of which may be covered under our warranty policies. We have 
in  the  past  and  are  currently  subject  to  product  liability  and  warranty  claims,  including  certain  legal  claims  related  to  a 
commercial  sealant  product  formerly  incorporated  into  our  products.  We  also  are  subject  to  project  management  and 
installation-related  contingencies  as  a  result  of  our  fixed-price  material  supply  and  installation  service  contracts,  primarily  in 
our Architectural Services segment and certain of our Architectural Framing Systems businesses, including those taken on with 
our acquisition of EFCO. The time period from when a claim is asserted to when it is resolved, either by negotiation, settlement 
or litigation, can be several years. While we maintain various types of product liability insurance, the insurance policies include 
significant  self-retention  of  risk  in  the  form  of  policy  deductibles.  In  addition,  certain  claims  could  be  determined  to  be 
uninsured.  We  also  actively  manage  the  risk  of  these  exposures  through  contract  negotiations  and  proactive  project 
management.

We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims for product warranty and rework 
costs, based on similar historical product liability claims, as a ratio of sales. We also reserve for estimated exposures on other 
claims as they are known and reasonably estimable. 

Income taxes
We are required to make judgments regarding the potential tax effects of various financial transactions and ongoing operations 
to estimate our obligation to taxing authorities. These tax obligations include income, real estate, franchise and sales/use taxes. 
Judgments related to income taxes require the recognition in our financial statements that a tax position is more-likely-than-not 
to be sustained on audit.

Judgment and estimation is required in developing the provision for income taxes and the reporting of tax-related assets and 
liabilities  and,  if  necessary,  any  valuation  allowances.  The  interpretation  of  tax  laws  can  involve  uncertainty,  since  tax 
authorities  may  interpret  such  laws  differently.  Actual  income  tax  could  vary  from  estimated  amounts  and  may  result  in 
favorable or unfavorable impacts to net income, cash flows and tax-related assets and liabilities. In addition, the effective tax 
rate may be affected by other changes including the allocation of property, payroll and revenues between states.

We  assess  the  deferred  tax  assets  for  recoverability  taking  into  consideration  historical  and  anticipated  earnings  levels;  the 
reversal  of  other  existing  temporary  differences;  available  net  operating  losses  and  tax  carryforwards;  and  available  tax 
planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. Based on this assessment, management must 
evaluate the need for, and amount of, a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. As facts and circumstances change, 
adjustment to the valuation allowance may be required.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to ongoing market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and raw material 
pricing. 

Interest Rate Risk
A rise in interest rates could negatively affect the fair value of our fixed income investments, while serving to provide greater 
long-term return potential on these investments. To manage our direct risk from changes in market interest rates, we actively 
monitor the interest-sensitive components of our balance sheet, primarily available-for-sale securities, fixed income securities 
and  debt  obligations,  and  maintain  a  diversified  portfolio  in  order  to  minimize  the  impact  of  changes  in  interest  rates  on  net 
earnings and cash flow.  We do not hold any financial instruments for trading purposes. We also hedge a portion of the floating 
interest rate on our long-term line of credit through a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap.

The primary measure of interest rate risk is the simulation of net income under different interest rate environments. If interest 
rates  were  to  increase  or  decrease  over  the  next  12  months  by  200  basis  points,  net  earnings  would  be  impacted  by 
approximately  $0.8  million.  Our  debt  exceeded  investments  at  February  26,  2022,  so  as  interest  rates  increase,  net  earnings 
decrease; as interest rates decrease, net earnings increase. 

In addition to the market risk related to interest rate changes on our financial instruments, the commercial construction markets 
in  which  our  businesses  operate  are  highly  affected  by  changes  in  interest  rates.  Increases  in  interest  rates  could  adversely 
impact activity in the commercial construction industry and our operating results. 

25

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We  are  subject  to  market  risk  due  to  changes  in  the  value  of  foreign  currencies  in  relation  to  our  reporting  currency,  the 
U.S. dollar.  

We have operations in Canada and Brazil, which primarily transact business in local currencies. We manage these operating 
activities  locally.  Revenues,  costs,  assets  and  liabilities  of  these  operations  are  generally  denominated  in  local  currencies, 
thereby  mitigating  some  of  the  risk  associated  with  changes  in  foreign  exchange  rates.  However,  our  consolidated  financial 
results are reported in U.S. dollars. Thus, changes in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and Brazilian real, versus the 
U.S.  dollar,  will  impact  our  reported  financial  results.  From  time  to  time,  we  enter  into  forward  purchase  foreign  currency 
contracts,  generally  with  an  original  maturity  date  of  less  than  one  year,  to  hedge  foreign  currency  risk  (refer  to  additional 
discussion within Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Sales from our domestic operations are generally 
denominated in U.S. dollars.   

Raw Material Pricing Risk
We are subject to market risk exposure related to volatility in the prices of aluminum and lumber, among other raw materials 
and supplies used in our end products. A significant amount of our cost of sales relates to materials costs. The commodities 
markets, which include the aluminum industry, are highly cyclical in nature. As a result, commodity costs can be volatile, as we 
have experienced from time to time during recent fiscal quarters, and may become more volatile in the future. Commodity costs 
are  influenced  by  numerous  factors  beyond  our  control,  including  general  economic  conditions,  the  availability  of  raw 
materials, competition, labor costs, freight and transportation costs, production costs, import duties and other trade restrictions.

We principally manage our exposures to the market fluctuations in the aluminum industry through fixed/floating rate swaps and 
forward purchase agreements. Although we have the ability to purchase aluminum from a number of suppliers, a production 
cutback by one or more of our current suppliers could create challenges in meeting delivery schedules to our customers. The 
prices we offer to our customers are also impacted by changes in commodity costs. We manage the alignment of the cost of our 
raw materials and the prices offered to customers, and attempt to pass changes to raw material costs through to our customers. 
To  improve  our  management  of  commodity  costs,  we  attempt  to  maintain  inventory  levels  not  in  excess  of  our  production 
requirements.

We  cannot  accurately  calculate  the  pre-tax  impact  a  one  percent  change  in  the  commodity  costs  of  aluminum  and/or  lumber 
would  have  on  our  fiscal  2023  operating  results,  as  the  change  in  commodity  costs  would  both  impact  the  cost  to  purchase 
materials and the selling prices we offer our customers. The impact to our operating results would significantly depend on the 
competitive environment and the costs of other alternative products, which could impact our ability to pass commodities costs 
to our customers.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

Management  of  Apogee  Enterprises,  Inc.  and  its  subsidiaries  (the  Company)  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining 
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934.  The  Company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures 
that (1) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions 
of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation 
of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of 
the  Company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the  Company;  and  (3) 
provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use  or  disposition  of  the 
Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Also, 
projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the 
risk  that  the  controls  may  become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions,  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the 
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The  Company's  management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of 
February  26,  2022,  using  criteria  set  forth  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission 
(COSO)  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (2013).  The  Company's  management  believes  that,  as  of  February  26, 
2022, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

Following this report are reports from the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, 
on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial 
reporting as of February 26, 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Apogee Enterprises, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") 
as of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, and the related consolidated results of operations, statements of comprehensive 
earnings, cash flows, and shareholders' equity, for each of the three years in the period ended February 26, 2022, and the related 
notes  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  "financial  statements").  In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all 
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 26, 2022, in conformity with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB),  the  Company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  February  26,  2022,  based  on  criteria  established  in 
Internal  Control  —  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission  and  our  report  dated  April  22,  2022  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the  Company's  internal  control  over 
financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to 
error  or  fraud.  Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial 
statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures  that  respond  to  those  risks.  Such  procedures  included 
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included 
evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that 
were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that 
are  material  to  the  financial  statements  and  (2)  involved  our  especially  challenging,  subjective,  or  complex  judgments.  The 
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and 
we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on 
the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Net Sales — Revenue Recognition for Long-Term Contracts in the Architectural Services Segment — Refer to Notes 1, 
2, and 15 to the consolidated financial statements 

The  Architectural  Services  segment,  which  provides  building  glass  and  curtainwall  installation  services  and  operates  under 
long-term, fixed-price contracts, accounted for approximately $349.4 million, or 27 percent of total net sales for the year ended 
February  26,  2022.  The  contracts  for  this  business  typically  have  a  single,  bundled  performance  obligation,  as  the  business 
generally  provides  interrelated  services  and  integrates  these  services  into  a  combined  output  specified  by  the  customer.  The 
customer  obtains  control  of  this  combined  output,  generally  installed  window  and  curtainwall  systems,  over  time.  The 
Company measures progress on these contracts following an input method, by comparing total costs incurred to-date to the total 
estimated costs for the contract and recording that proportion of the total contract price as revenue.

Given  the  judgments  necessary  to  estimate  total  costs  and  profit  for  the  contract  performance  obligations  used  to  recognize 
revenue for long-term, fixed-price contracts in the Architectural Services segment, auditing such estimates required extensive 
audit  effort  due  to  the  complexity  of  long-term  contracts  and  a  high  degree  of  auditor  judgment  when  performing  audit 
procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures.   

28

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to management’s estimates of total costs and profit for the contract performance obligations used 
to recognize revenue for certain long-term contracts in the Architectural Services segment included, but were not limited to the 
following:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over long-term contract revenue in the Architectural Services segment, including 

those over the estimates of total costs and profit for performance obligations.

• We  developed  an  expectation  of  the  amount  of  total  long-term  contract  revenue  in  the  Architectural  Services  segment  
based  on  prior  year  margins  applied  to  cost  of  sales  in  the  current  year  and  compared  our  expectation  to  the  amount  of 
long-term contract revenue ultimately recorded by management.  

• We evaluated management’s ability to estimate total costs and profit by comparing actual costs and profit to management’s 

historical estimates for performance obligations that have been fulfilled.

• We selected a sample of long-term contracts from the Architectural Services segment  contract portfolio and performed the 

following procedures:               
•

Evaluated whether the long-term contracts were properly included in management’s calculation of long-term contract 
revenue  based  on  the  terms  and  conditions  of  each  contract,  including  whether  continuous  transfer  of  control  to  the 
customer occurred as progress was made toward fulfillment of the performance obligations.
Compared the transaction prices to the consideration expected to be received based on current rights and obligations 
under the long-term contracts and any modifications that were agreed upon with the customers.
Tested management’s identification of distinct performance obligations by evaluating whether the underlying services 
are highly interdependent and interrelated.
Tested the accuracy and completeness of the costs incurred to date for the performance obligations.

•
• We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculation of long-term contract revenue for the performance

obligation.
Evaluated the estimates of total cost and profit for the performance obligations by: 
•
•

Comparing costs incurred to date to the costs management estimated to be incurred to date.
Evaluating  management’s  ability  to  achieve  the  estimates  of  total  cost  and  profit  by  performing  corroborating 
inquiries  with  the  Company’s  project  managers  and  engineers,  and  comparing  the  estimates  to  management’s 
work plans, engineering specifications, and supplier contracts.
Comparing  management’s  estimates  for  the  selected  contracts  to  costs  and  profit  of  similar  performance 
obligations, when applicable.

Goodwill — Window and Wall Systems Reporting Unit — Refer to Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial 
statements

The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its 
carrying  value.  The  Company  estimates  the  fair  value  of  its  reporting  units  using  both  the  income  approach  and  the  market 
approach. The income approach uses a discounted cash flow methodology that involves significant judgment and projections of 
future  performance,  including  future  revenues,  future  operating  expenses,  and  discount  rates.    Changes  in  these  assumptions 
could  have  a  significant  impact  on  either  the  fair  value,  the  amount  of  any  goodwill  impairment  charge,  or  both.    The 
Company’s goodwill balance was $130 million as of February 26, 2022, of which $55.6 million relates to the Window and Wall 
Systems reporting unit. The fair value of the Window and Wall Systems reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of the 
measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was identified.   

Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the Window and Wall Systems reporting 
unit,  performing  audit  procedures  to  evaluate  the  reasonableness  of  management's  estimates  and  assumptions  related  to 
selection of future revenues, future operating expenses, and discount rates required a high degree of auditor judgment and an 
increased extent of effort.

 How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to future revenues, future operating expenses, and discount rates used by management to estimate 
the fair value of the Window and Wall Systems reporting unit included the following, among others: 

• We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the 

determination of the fair value of the reporting units, such as controls related to management's selection of future revenues, 
future operating expenses, and discount rates. 

• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) 
discount rate, including testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate, testing the 
mathematical accuracy of the calculation, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the 
discount rate selected by management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as 
of  February  26,  2022,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  —  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all 
material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  February  26,  2022,  based  on  criteria  established  in 
Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended February 26, 2022, of the Company and our report 
dated April 22, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion 

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  and  for  its 
assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  included  in  the  accompanying  Management's 
Annual  Report  on  Internal  Control  over  Financial  Reporting.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all 
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk 
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the 
assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted  accounting  principles.  A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures 
that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit 
preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and 
expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the 
company;  and  (3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use,  or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Also, 
projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become  inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Data

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the balances of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries  (Apogee, we, us, 
our  or  the  Company)  after  elimination  of  intercompany  balances  and  transactions.  We  consolidate  variable  interest  entities 
related to our New Market Tax Credit transactions as it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of 
those entities' operations (refer to Note 10 for more information). 

Fiscal year
Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February, or as determined by the Board of Directors. Fiscal 2022, 
2021 and 2020 each consisted of 52 weeks. 

Accounting estimates
The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. 

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated statements of cash 
flows to conform to current year presentation.

Cash equivalents
Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are included in cash equivalents and are stated at 
cost, which approximates fair value.

Marketable securities
To the extent the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale securities exceeds the fair value, the Company assesses the debt 
securities  for  credit  loss.  When  assessing  the  risk  of  credit  loss,  the  Company  considers  factors  such  as  the  severity  and  the 
reason of the decline in value, such as any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency or other adverse conditions 
specifically related to the security, and management's intended holding period and time horizon for selling. During fiscal 2022, 
2021,  and  2020,  the  Company  did  not  recognize  any  credit  losses  related  to  its  available-for-sale  securities.  Further,  as  of 
February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses related to its available-
for-sale securities. Marketable securities are included in other current and non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets 
and gross realized gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net in our consolidated results of operations.

Inventories
Inventories, which consist primarily of purchased glass and aluminum, are valued at lower of cost or market using the first-in, 
first-out (FIFO) method. 

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) is recorded at cost. Significant improvements and renewals that extend the useful life of 
the  asset  are  capitalized.  Repairs  and  maintenance  are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred.  When  an  asset  is  retired  or  otherwise 
disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are 
included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Long-lived assets to be held and used, such as PP&E, are reviewed for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 

Depreciation  is  computed  on  a  straight-line  basis,  based  on  estimated  useful  lives  of  10  to  25  years  for  buildings  and 
improvements; 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment; and 3 to 7 years for office equipment and furniture. 

Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived  assets  or  asset  groups,  including  finite-lived  intangible  assets  ("intangible  assets")  subject  to  amortization  and 
property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances such as asset utilization, 
physical change, legal factors or other matters indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. When this 
review indicates the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result 
from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group, an asset impairment expense is recognized in earnings in the 
period  such  a  determination  is  made.  The  amount  of  the  impairment  expense  recorded  is  the  amount  by  which  the  carrying 
value of the impaired asset or asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flows.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an impairment of $3.0 million was recognized within other (expense) income within the 
consolidated results of operations related to a minority equity investment held by the Company which represents a write-down 
of the entire investment in the company. 

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2022,  based  on  the  finalization  of  our  plans  for  integrating  the  Sotawall  business  into  the 
Architectural Services segment, beginning in fiscal 2023, we determined that the finite-lived intangible assets were impaired as 
of  February  26,  2022.  As  such,  a  long-lived  asset  impairment  charge  of  $36.7  million  in  finite-lived  intangible  assets  was 
recognized  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  year  2022  within  the  Architectural  Framing  Systems  segment.  As  a  result  of 
restructuring plans announced during the second quarter of fiscal 2022, asset impairments on property plant and equipment and 
leases in the amount of $21.5 million were recorded for the year ended February 26, 2022.

Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identified intangible assets of acquired businesses. We have 
historically  evaluated  goodwill  for  impairment  annually  at  our  year-end,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances  indicate  the  carrying  value  of  the  goodwill  may  not  be  recoverable.  In  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2021,  we 
changed the date of our annual goodwill impairment testing from our fiscal year-end to the first day in our fiscal fourth quarter. 
This  change  results  in  better  alignment  of  the  annual  impairment  test  with  our  strategic  and  annual  planning  processes.  This 
change was determined to not be material to and had no impact on our current or historical consolidated financial statements.

Evaluating  goodwill  for  impairment  involves  the  determination  of  the  fair  value  of  each  reporting  unit  in  which  goodwill  is 
recorded using a qualitative or quantitative analysis. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating 
segment for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed by segment management on a regular basis. During 
the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we combined certain reporting units to form two reporting units, following certain structural and 
leadership changes at the Company, specifically within the Architectural Framing Systems segment. Within this segment, as a 
result of integration efforts that are ongoing, leadership over our Wausau, EFCO and Sotawall reporting units were combined to 
form the Window and Wall Systems reporting unit, and our Linetec and Tubelite reporting units were combined to form the 
Storefront and Finishing Solutions reporting unit. With these organizational changes, Architectural Framing Systems segment 
management  regularly  reviews  and  evaluates  the  results  of  the  Window  and  Wall  Systems  and  Storefront  and  Finishing 
Solutions  reporting  units.  Additionally,  functional  leaders  in  areas  such  as  operations,  sales,  marketing  and  general  and 
administrative  areas  are  responsible  for  allocating  resources  and  reviewing  results  of  the  Window  and  Wall  Systems  and 
Storefront  and  Finishing  Solutions  reporting  units.  The  goodwill  of  the  five  individual  pre-integration  reporting  units  was 
aggregated to the respective combined reporting units. We evaluated goodwill on a qualitative basis prior to and subsequent to 
this change and concluded no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary as a result of this change. With the 
above noted changes, our reporting units for our fiscal 2022 annual impairment test were determined to be Window and Wall 
Systems, Storefront and Finishing Solutions, Viracon, Harmon and Tru Vue.

We estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using both the income approach and the market approach.  The income approach 
uses  a  discounted  cash  flow  methodology  that  involves  significant  judgment  and  projections  of  future  performance. 
Assumptions  about  future  revenues  and  future  operating  expenses,  capital  expenditures  and  changes  in  working  capital  are 
based  on  the  annual  operating  plan  and  other  business  plans  for  each  reporting  unit.  These  plans  take  into  consideration 
numerous factors, including historical experience, current and future operational plans, anticipated future economic conditions 
and growth expectations for the industries and end markets in which we participate. These projections are discounted using a 
weighted-average cost of capital, which considers the risk inherent in our projections of future cash flows. We determine the 
weighted-average cost of capital for this analysis by weighting the required returns on interest bearing debt and common equity 
capital in proportion to their estimated percentages in an expected capital structure, using published data where possible. We 
used  discount  rates  that  are  commensurate  with  the  risks  and  uncertainties  inherent  in  the  respective  businesses  and  in  the 
internally developed forecasts. The market approach uses a multiple of earnings and revenue based on guidelines for publicly 
traded companies.

Intangible assets
We have intangible assets for certain acquired trade names and trademarks which are determined to have indefinite useful lives. 
We test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually at the same measurement date as goodwill, the first day of our 
fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the 
asset is impaired. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment expense is 
recognized in an amount equal to that excess. If an impairment expense is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount becomes 
the asset's new accounting basis. 

38

Fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the trade 
name or trademark has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received 
from the asset. This method requires estimation of future revenue from the related asset, the appropriate royalty rate, and the 
weighted  average  cost  of  capital.  The  assessment  of  fair  value  involves  significant  judgment  and  projections  about  future 
performance. 

Finite-lived  intangible  assets  are  amortized  based  on  estimated  useful  lives  ranging  from  18  months  to  30  years  and  are 
reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be 
recoverable. 

The estimated useful lives of all intangible assets are reviewed annually, and we have determined that the remaining lives were 
appropriate.

Leases
On March 3, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases, which results in recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on our 
consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement for leases with terms greater than twelve months. The initial lease liability is 
recognized at the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or 
less are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis 
over the lease term. We combine lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance costs, in calculating the 
related asset and lease liabilities for all underlying asset groups. Refer to additional information in Note 8.

Self-Insurance
We  obtain  commercial  insurance  to  provide  coverage  for  potential  losses  in  areas  such  as  employment  practices,  workers' 
compensation, directors and officers, automobile, architect's and engineer's errors and omissions, product rework and general 
liability. A substantial portion of this risk is retained on a self-insured basis through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. 
We establish a reserve for estimated ultimate losses on reported claims and those incurred but not yet reported utilizing actuarial 
projections. Reserves are classified within other current liabilities or non-current self-insurance reserves based on expectations 
of when the estimated loss will be paid. 

Additionally, we maintain a self-insurance reserve for health insurance programs offered to eligible employees, included within 
other  current  liabilities  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  The  reserve  includes  an  estimate  for  losses  on  reported  claims  as 
well as for amounts incurred but not yet reported, based on historical trends. 

Warranty and project-related contingencies
We  are  subject  to  claims  associated  with  our  products  and  services,  principally  as  a  result  of  disputes  with  our  customers 
involving the performance or aesthetics of our architectural products and services. We reserve estimated exposures on known 
claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims for product warranty and rework costs, based on historical product liability 
claims as a ratio of sales. We also reserve for estimated exposures on other claims as they are known and reasonably estimable. 
Reserves are included in other current and non-current liabilities based on the estimated timing of dispute resolution. 

Foreign currency
Local currencies are considered the functional currencies for our subsidiaries outside of the United States. Assets and liabilities 
of  these  subsidiaries  are  translated  at  the  exchange  rates  at  the  balance  sheet  date.    Income  and  expense  items  are  translated 
using  average  monthly  exchange  rates.  Translation  adjustments  are  included  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss  in  the 
consolidated balance sheets. 

Derivatives and hedging activities
We are exposed to, among other risks, the impact of changes in aluminum prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest 
rates  in  the  normal  course  of  business.  In  order  to  manage  the  exposure  and  volatility  arising  from  these  risks,  we  utilize 
derivative  financial  instruments  to  offset  a  portion  of  these  risks.  We  use  derivative  financial  instruments  only  to  the  extent 
necessary to hedge identified business risks, and do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and 
are not a party to leveraged derivatives. 

All derivative instruments within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, are recorded as either assets or liabilities at 
fair  value  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  All  hedging  instruments  that  qualify  for  hedge  accounting  are  designated  and 
effective as hedges with changes recognized in other comprehensive earnings (loss). Instruments that do not qualify for hedge 
accounting  are  marked  to  market  with  changes  recognized  in  current  earnings.  Cash  flows  from  derivative  instruments  are 
classified in the statements of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or 
undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. Please refer to Note 4 for further disclosure on derivatives.

Revenue recognition
Our  significant  accounting  policy  for  revenue  recognition  follows  ASC  606,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers.  We 
generate  revenue  from  the  design,  engineering  and  fabrication  of  architectural  glass,  curtainwall,  window,  storefront  and 
entrance  systems,  and  from  installing  those  products  on  commercial  buildings.  We  also  manufacture  value-added  glass  and 
acrylic products. Due to the diverse nature of our operations and various types of contracts with customers, we have businesses 
that recognize revenue over time and businesses that recognize revenue at a point in time.

During  fiscal  2022,  approximately  42  percent  of  our  total  revenue  is  recognized  at  the  time  products  are  shipped  from  our 
manufacturing facilities, which is when control is transferred to our customer, consistent with past practices. These businesses 
do not generate contract-related assets or liabilities. Variable consideration associated with these contracts and orders, generally 
related to early pay discounts or volume rebates, is not considered significant.

We also have three businesses which operate under long-term, fixed-price contracts, representing approximately 38 percent of 
our total revenue in the current year. The contracts for these businesses have a single, bundled performance obligation, as these 
businesses generally provide interrelated products and services and integrate these products and services into a combined output 
specified  by  the  customer.  The  customer  obtains  control  of  this  combined  output,  generally  integrated  window  systems  or 
installed window and curtainwall systems, over time. We measure progress on these contracts following an input method, by 
comparing  total  costs  incurred  to-date  to  the  total  estimated  costs  for  the  contract,  and  record  that  proportion  of  the  total 
contract  price  as  revenue  in  the  period.  Contract  costs  include  materials,  labor  and  other  direct  costs  related  to  contract 
performance.  We  believe  this  method  of  recognizing  revenue  is  consistent  with  our  progress  in  satisfying  our  contract 
obligations.   

Due  to  the  nature  of  the  work  required  under  these  long-term  contracts,  the  estimation  of  total  revenue  and  costs  incurred 
throughout a project is subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. It is common for these contracts to contain 
potential bonuses or penalties which are generally awarded or charged upon certain project milestones or cost or timing targets, 
and  these  can  be  based  on  customer  discretion.  We  estimate  variable  consideration  at  the  most  likely  amount  to  which  we 
expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant 
reversal  of  cumulative  revenue  recognized  will  not  occur  when  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable  consideration  is 
resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction 
price are based largely on our assessments of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) 
that is reasonably available to us.  

Long-term  contracts  are  often  modified  to  account  for  changes  in  contract  specifications  and  requirements  of  work  to  be 
performed. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification, generally through a change order, either creates 
new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations, and we evaluate these types of modifications to determine whether 
they may be considered distinct performance obligations. In most cases, these contract modifications are for goods or services 
that are not distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract. 
Therefore, these modifications are accounted for as part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the 
transaction price and our measure of progress is recognized as an adjustment to revenue, generally on a cumulative catch-up 
basis.

Typically,  under  these  fixed-price  contracts,  we  bill  our  customers  following  an  agreed-upon  schedule  based  on  work 
performed. Because the progress billings do not generally correspond to our measurement of revenue on a contract, we generate 
contract  assets  when  we  have  recognized  revenue  in  excess  of  the  amount  billed  to  the  customer.  We  generate  contract 
liabilities when we have billed the customer in excess of revenue recognized on a contract.

Finally,  we  have  one  business,  making  up  approximately  20  percent  of  our  total  revenue  in  the  current  year,  that  recognizes 
revenue following an over-time output method based upon units produced. The customer is considered to have control over the 
products at the time of production, as the products are highly customized with no alternative use, and we have an enforceable 
right  to  payment  for  performance  completed  over  the  production  period.  We  believe  this  over-time  output  method  of 
recognizing revenue reasonably depicts the fulfillment of our performance obligations under our contracts. Billings still occur 
upon  shipment.  Therefore,  contract  assets  are  generated  for  the  unbilled  amounts  on  contracts  when  production  is  complete. 
Variable consideration associated with these orders, generally related to early pay discounts, is not considered significant.

Additionally, we have made the following policy elections associated with revenue recognition:

• We account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related goods transfers to the customer 

as fulfillment activities, instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations.

40

• We exclude from the transaction price all sales taxes related to revenue-producing transactions that are collected from 
the customer for a government authority. We are considered a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales 
taxes.

• We generally expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would 
be  less  than  one  year.  These  costs  primarily  relate  to  sales  commissions  and  are  included  in  selling,  general  and 
administrative expenses.

• We  do  not  adjust  contract  price  for  a  significant  financing  component,  as  we  expect  the  period  between  when  our 
goods and services are transferred to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods and services to be less 
than a year.

Shipping and handling
Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling are reported as revenue. Costs we incur for 
shipping and handling are reported as cost of sales. 

Restructuring
During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we announced plans to realign and simplify our business structure which resulted in 
the closure of two facilities within the Architectural Glass segment, in Dallas, Texas and Statesboro, Georgia. These closures 
were made in order to concentrate this segment on premium, high-performance products. Additionally, employee termination 
costs were incurred related to these facility closures, realignment of the Architectural Framing Systems segment, and within the 
Corporate  office.  The  actions  associated  with  this  announced  plan  continued  through  fiscal  2022  and  are  expected  be 
substantially completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Refer to additional information in Note 16.

Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and were $17.3 million, $15.3 million and $16.6 million for fiscal 
2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of these amounts, $9.5 million, $9.9 million and $8.0 million, respectively, were focused 
primarily upon design of custom window and curtainwall systems in accordance with customer specifications and are included 
in cost of sales. The remainder of the expense is included within selling, general and administrative expenses. 

Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses, and were $1.2 million in fiscal 
2022, $1.1 million in fiscal 2021 and $1.4 million in fiscal 2020.  

Income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the future tax consequences of temporary differences 
between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. See Note 13 for additional 
information regarding income taxes.

Subsequent events
We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. Subsequent to the 
end of the year, we purchased 1,571,139 shares of stock under our authorized share repurchase program, at a total cost of $74.3 
million.

Starting  in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2023,  based  on  the  Company's  planned  integration  of  Sotawall  into  the  Architectural 
Services segment, the Company expects that the results of the Sotawall business will be reported as part of the Architectural 
Services segment. 

Adoption of new accounting standards
At  the  beginning  of  fiscal  2022,  we  adopted  the  guidance  in  ASU  2019-12,  Income  Taxes  (Topic  740):  Simplifying  the 
Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU removed exceptions on intra-period tax allocations and reporting 
and  provided  simplification  on  accounting  for  franchise  taxes,  tax  basis  goodwill  and  tax  law  changes.  The  adoption  of  this 
ASU did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

At the beginning of fiscal 2022, we adopted the guidance in ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of 
the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging 
relationships,  and  other  transactions  that  reference  LIBOR  or  another  reference  rate  expected  to  be  discontinued  because  of 
reference rate reform. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Receivables
Receivables  reflected  in  the  financial  statements  represent  the  net  amount  expected  to  be  collected.  An  allowance  for  credit 
losses  is  established  based  on  expected  losses.  Expected  losses  are  estimated  by  reviewing  individual  accounts,  considering 
aging, financial condition of the debtor, recent payment history, current and forecast economic conditions and other relevant 
factors.  Upon  billing,  aging  of  receivables  is  monitored  until  collection.  An  account  is  considered  current  when  it  is  within 
agreed upon payment terms. An account is written off when it is determined that the asset is no longer collectible. Retainage on 
construction contracts represents amounts withheld by our customers on long-term projects until the project reaches a level of 
completion where amounts are released.

Contract assets and liabilities
Contract  assets  consist  of  retainage,  costs  and  earnings  in  excess  of  billings  and  other  unbilled  amounts  typically  generated 
when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of costs 
and  earnings  and  other  deferred  revenue  on  contracts.  Retainage  is  classified  within  receivables  and  deferred  revenue  is 
classified within other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

The time period between when performance obligations are complete and when payment is due is not significant. In certain of 
our businesses that recognize revenue over time, progress billings follow an agreed-upon schedule of values, and retainage is 
withheld by the customer until the project reaches a level of completion where amounts are released.

Derivative instruments
We use interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and forward purchase contracts to manage risks generally associated with foreign 
exchange  rate,  interest  rate  and  commodity  price  fluctuations.  The  information  that  follows  explains  the  various  types  of 
derivatives and financial instruments we use, how such instruments are accounted for, and how such instruments impact our 
financial position and performance.

In fiscal 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge a portion of our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest 
payments on our floating-rate revolving credit facility and term loan facility. As of February 26, 2022, the interest rate swap 
contract had a notional value of $30 million.

We periodically enter into forward purchase contracts to manage the risk associated with fluctuations in foreign currency rates 
(primarily related to the Canadian dollar and Euro) and aluminum prices, generally with an original maturity date of less than 
one  year.  As  of  February  26,  2022,  we  held  foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  and  aluminum  purchase  contracts  with  U.S. 
dollar notional values of $13.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

These  derivative  instruments  are  recorded  within  our  consolidated  balance  sheets  within  other  current  assets  and  liabilities. 
Gains or losses associated with these instruments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Fair value measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the 
fair  value  measurement:  Level  1  (unadjusted  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities);  Level  2 
(observable  market  inputs,  other  than  quoted  prices  included  in  Level  1);  and  Level  3  (unobservable  inputs  that  cannot  be 
corroborated by observable market data). We do not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

Money market funds and commercial paper
Fair value of money market funds was determined based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Commercial 
paper was measured at fair value using inputs based on quoted prices for similar securities in active markets. These assets are 
included within cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets.

Municipal and corporate bonds
Municipal and corporate bonds were measured at fair value based on market prices from recent trades of similar securities and 
are classified within our consolidated balance sheets as other current or other non-current assets based on maturity date. 

Cash surrender value of life insurance and deferred compensation
Contracts  insuring  the  lives  of  certain  employees  who  are  eligible  to  participate  in  non-qualified  pension  and  deferred 
compensation plans are held in trust. Cash surrender value of the contracts is based on performance measurement funds that 
shadow the deferral investment allocations made by these participants. Changes in cash surrender value are recorded in other 
expense. The deferred compensation liability balances are valued based on amounts allocated by participants to the underlying 
performance measurement funds.

Derivative instruments
The interest rate swap is measured at fair value using unobservable market inputs, based off benchmark interest rates. Forward 
foreign exchange and forward purchase aluminum contracts are measured at fair value using unobservable market inputs, such 
as  quotations  on  forward  foreign  exchange  points,  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  and  forward  purchase  aluminum  prices. 
Derivative  positions  are  primarily  valued  using  standard  calculations  and  models  that  use  as  their  basis  readily  observable 
market parameters. Industry standard data providers are our primary source for forward and spot rate information for interest 
and currency rates and aluminum prices.

Nonrecurring fair value measurements
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a nonrecurring basis including goodwill, intangible assets, property 
and equipment and right-of-use lease assets. These assets were initially measured and recognized at amounts equal to the fair 
value  determined  as  of  the  date  of  acquisition  or  purchase  subject  to  changes  in  value  only  for  foreign  currency  translation. 
Periodically, these assets are tested for impairment, by comparing their respective carrying values to the estimated fair value of 
the  reporting  unit  or  asset  group  in  which  they  reside.  In  the  event  any  of  these  assets  were  to  become  impaired,  we  would 
recognize an impairment expense equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit, impaired asset or asset 
group  exceeds  its  estimated  fair  value.  Fair  value  measurements  of  reporting  units  are  estimated  using  an  income  approach

involving  discounted  cash  flow  models  that  contain  certain  Level  3  inputs  requiring  significant  management  judgment, 
including projections of economic conditions, customer demand and changes in competition, revenue growth rates, gross profit 
margins, operating margins, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, terminal growth rates and discount rates. Fair 
value measurements of the reporting units associated with our goodwill balances and our indefinite-lived intangible assets are 
estimated at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year for purposes of impairment testing if a quantitative analysis 
is performed. Fair value measurements for long-lived assets or asset groups, including intangible assets subject to amortization, 
property  and  equipment  and  right-of-use  lease  assets,  are  valued  using  undiscounted  cash  flows  to  determine  whether 
impairment  exists  and  measure  any  impairment  loss  using  discounted  cash  flows  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  long-lived 
assets. 

See Note 1 and Note 6 for additional information on the impairment charges recorded to goodwill, indefinite- and finite-lived 
intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021. See Note 16 for additional information on the impairment 
charges recorded to property, plant and equipment during fiscal 2022.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill
Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of the Accounting Policy related to Goodwill.  
Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  the  cost  over  the  net  tangible  and  identified  intangible  assets  of  acquired  businesses.  We 
evaluate  goodwill  for  impairment  annually  as  of  the  first  day  of  our  fiscal  fourth  quarter,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or 
changes  in  circumstances  indicate  the  carrying  value  of  goodwill  may  not  be  recoverable.  Based  on  the  impairment  analysis 
performed in the fourth quarter, estimated fair value was in excess of carrying value at all of our reporting units. At the end of 
the prior year ended February 27, 2021, we incurred goodwill impairment expense of $46.7 million and $17.1 million in our 
EFCO  and  Sotawall  reporting  units,  respectively,  which  represents  the  total  accumulated  goodwill  impairment  expenses 
recorded as of February 26, 2022. 

The carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each reporting segment was:

immaterial error related to prior periods. The error was not material to any previously reported annual or interim consolidated financial statements.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets
We have intangible assets for certain acquired trade names and trademarks which are determined to have indefinite useful lives. 
We test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually at the same measurement date as goodwill, the first day of our 
fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the 
asset is impaired. Based on our annual analysis, the fair value of each of our trade names and trademarks exceeded the carrying 
amount,  however,  as  a  result  of  triggering  events  resulting  from  the  finalization  of  our  plans  for  integrating  the  Sotawall 
business  into  the  Architectural  Services  segment,  beginning  in  fiscal  2023,  it  was  determined  that  the  carrying  value  of  the 
Sotawall trade name exceeded fair value by $12.7 million as it was determined to have an immaterial fair value, resulting in the 
trade name being fully impaired as of fiscal 2022 year end. This amount was recognized as impairment expense in the fourth 
quarter ended February 26, 2022.

Finite-lived intangible assets
Long-lived assets or asset groups, including intangible assets subject to amortization and property and equipment, are reviewed 
for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  of  those  assets  may  not  be 
recoverable. We use undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measure any impairment loss using 
discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of long-lived assets. Due to triggering events as a result of finalization of our 
plans  for  integrating  the  Sotawall  business  into  the  Architectural  Services  segment,  beginning  in  fiscal  2023,  we  determined 
that the finite-lived intangible assets were impaired as of February 26, 2022. As such, a long-lived asset impairment charge of 
$36.7 million in finite-lived intangible assets was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 within the Architectural 
Framing Systems segment.

7.  Debt

As of February 26, 2022, we had a committed revolving credit facility with maximum borrowings of up to $235 million with a 
maturity of June 2024. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, as of February 26, 2022 and 
February 27, 2021, respectively. As of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, we also had a $150 million term loan with a 
maturity of June 2024. 

47

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our revolving credit facility and term loan contain two affirmative financial covenants that require us to stay below a maximum 
debt-to-EBITDA ratio and maintain a minimum ratio of interest expense-to-EBITDA. Both ratios are computed quarterly, with 
EBITDA  calculated  on  a  rolling  four-quarter  basis.  If  the  Company  is  not  in  compliance  with  either  of  these  covenants,  our 
credit  facility  and  term  loan  may  be  terminated  and/or  any  amounts  then  outstanding  may  be  declared  immediately  due  and 
payable. At February 26, 2022, we were in compliance with both financial covenants. We have the ability to issue letters of 
credit of up to $80.0 million under the credit facility, the outstanding amounts of which decrease the available commitment. At 
February 26, 2022, $218.6 million was available under this revolving credit facility. 

Debt  at  February  26,  2022  also  included  $13.0  million  of  industrial  revenue  bonds  that  mature  in  fiscal  years  2023  through 
2043.  The  fair  value  of  the  industrial  revenue  bonds  approximated  carrying  value  at  February  26,  2022,  due  to  the  variable 
interest rates on these instruments. The bonds would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 4.

We  also  maintain  two  Canadian  committed,  revolving  credit  facilities  totaling  $25.0  million  (USD).  No  borrowings  were 
outstanding under the facilities in place as of February 26, 2022 or as of February 27, 2021.

8.  Leases

We have operating leases for certain of the buildings and equipment used in our operations. We determine if an arrangement 
contains a lease at inception. At the beginning of fiscal 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-20, Leases. We elected the package of 
practical  expedients  permitted  under  the  transition  guidance  in  adopting  ASC  842,  which  among  other  things,  allowed  us  to 
carry forward our historical lease classification. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement 
date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over 
the  lease  term.  Our  leases  have  remaining  lease  terms  of  one  to  ten  years,  some  of  which  include  renewal  options  that  can 
extend  the  lease  for  up  to  an  additional  ten  years  at  our  sole  discretion.  We  have  made  an  accounting  policy  election  not  to 
record leases with an original term of 12 months or less on our consolidated balance sheet and such leases are expensed on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. 

In determining lease asset value, we consider fixed or variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend, 
terminate  or  purchase.  Renewal,  termination  or  purchase  options  affect  the  lease  term  used  for  determining  lease  asset  value 
only  if  the  option  is  reasonably  certain  to  be  exercised.  We  use  a  discount  rate  for  each  lease  based  upon  an  estimated 
incremental  borrowing  rate  over  a  similar  term.  We  have  elected  the  practical  expedient  to  account  for  lease  and  nonlease 
components  (e.g.,  common-area  maintenance  costs)  as  a  single  lease  component.  Our  lease  agreements  do  not  contain  any 
material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We are not a lessor in any transactions.

401(k) Retirement Plan
We  sponsor  a  single  401(k)  retirement  plan  covering  substantially  all  full-time,  non-union  employees,  as  well  as  union 
employees  at  two  of  our  manufacturing  facilities.  Under  the  plan,  employees  are  allowed  to  contribute  up  to  60  percent  of 
eligible earnings to the plan, up to statutory limits. We match 100 percent of the first one percent contributed and 50 percent of 
the next five percent contributed on eligible compensation that non-union employees contribute and according to contract terms 
for union employees. In response to the effects of COVID-19 on our business, we suspended the matching contribution from 
June 1, 2020 until December 31, 2020. In total, our matching contributions were $7.7 million in fiscal 2022, $3.5 million in 
fiscal 2021 and $9.0 million in fiscal 2020.

Deferred Compensation Plan
We maintain a plan that allows participants to defer compensation. The deferred compensation liability was $12.5 million and 
$15.0  million  at  February  26,  2022  and  February  27,  2021,  respectively.  We  have  investments  in  corporate-owned  life 
insurance policies (COLI) of $17.8 million and money market funds (classified as cash equivalents) of $0.3 million with the 
intention of utilizing them as long-term funding sources for this plan. The COLI assets are recorded at their net cash surrender 
values and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. 

Plans under Collective Bargaining Agreements
We contribute to a number of multi-employer union retirement plans, which provide retirement benefits to the majority of our 
union-represented employees; none of the plans are considered significant. However, the risks of participating in these multi-
employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:

•

•

Assets contributed to these plans by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating 
employers
If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the 
remaining participating employers

49

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•

If we choose to stop participating in some of these plans, we may be required to pay those plans an amount based on 
the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability

Our participation in these plans is outlined in the following table. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available 
in 2022 and 2021 relates to the plan years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The zone status is 
based on information that we have received from each plan, certified by an actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone 
are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are between 65 percent and 80 percent funded, and plans in 
the green zone are at least 80 percent funded.

Obligations and Funded Status of Defined-Benefit Pension Plans
We sponsor the Tubelite Inc. Hourly Employees' Pension Plan, a defined-benefit pension plan that was frozen to new entrants 
in fiscal 2004, with no additional benefits accruing to plan participants after such time. We also sponsor an unfunded SERP, a 
defined-benefit  pension  plan  that  was  frozen  to  new  entrants  in  fiscal  2009,  with  no  additional  benefits  accruing  to  plan 
participants after such time.

benefit cost for fiscal 2023 is $0.1 million, net of tax expense.

Discount  rate.  The  discount  rate  reflects  the  current  rate  at  which  the  defined-benefit  plans'  pension  liabilities  could  be 
effectively  settled  at  the  end  of  the  year  based  on  the  measurement  date.  The  discount  rate  was  determined  by  matching  the 
expected benefit payments to payments from the Principal Discount Yield Curve. There are no known or anticipated changes in 
the discount rate assumption that will have a significant impact on pension expense in fiscal 2023.

Expected return on assets. To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets, we considered historical long-term rates 
of return achieved by the plan investments, the plan's investment strategy, and current and projected market conditions. During 
fiscal 2019, the assets of the Tubelite plan were moved from investment in a short-term bond fund to various duration fixed 
income funds. The investments are carried at fair value based on prices from recent trades of similar securities, which would be 
classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. We do not maintain assets intended for the future use of the SERP. 

Contributions
Company contributions to the plans for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 were $0.7 million in each year, which equaled or exceeded 
the minimum funding requirements. 

Estimated Future Benefit Payments
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid by the plans:

Bond commitments
In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Architectural Services and Architectural Framing Systems segments, 
we are required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance. At 
February 26, 2022, $1.2 billion of these types of bonds were outstanding, of which, $352.5 million is on our backlog. These 
bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never 
been required to make payments under surety or performance bonds with respect to our existing businesses.

Warranty and project-related contingencies
We  reserve  estimated  exposures  on  known  claims,  as  well  as  on  a  portion  of  anticipated  claims,  for  product  warranty  and 
rework  costs  based  on  historical  product  liability  claims  as  a  ratio  of  sales.  Claim  costs  are  deducted  from  the  accrual  when 
paid.  Factors  that  could  have  an  impact  on  the  warranty  accrual  in  any  given  period  include  the  following:  changes  in 
manufacturing quality, changes in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume. A warranty rollforward follows:

Additionally, we are subject to project management and installation-related contingencies as a result of our fixed-price material 
supply  and  installation  service  contracts,  primarily  in  our  Architectural  Services  segment  and  certain  of  our  Architectural 
Framing  Systems  businesses.  We  manage  the  risk  of  these  exposures  through  contract  negotiations,  proactive  project 
management and insurance coverages. The liability for these types of project-related contingencies was $0.1 million and $4.6 
million as of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, respectively.

Letters of credit
At  February  26,  2022,  we  had  $16.4  million  of  ongoing  letters  of  credit,  all  of  which  have  been  issued  under  our  revolving 
credit facility, as discussed in Note 7. We also have a $6.9 million letter of credit which has been issued outside our committed 
revolving credit facility, with no impact on our borrowing capacity and debt covenants.

Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations, primarily for raw material commitments and capital expenditures totaled $209.2 million as of February 
26, 2022.

Environmental liability
In fiscal 2008, we acquired one manufacturing facility which has certain historical environmental conditions. Remediation of 
these  conditions  is  ongoing  without  significant  disruption  to  our  operations.  The  estimated  remaining  liability  for  these 
remediation activities was $0.5 million at February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, respectively. 

New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transactions
As  of  year-end  fiscal  2022,  we  have  three  outstanding  NMTC  arrangements  which  help  to  support  operational  expansion. 
Proceeds  received  from  investors  on  these  transactions  are  included  within  other  current  and  non-current  liabilities  on  our 
consolidated balance sheets. The NMTC arrangements are subject to 100 percent tax credit recapture for a period of seven years 
from the date of each respective transaction. Upon the termination of each arrangement, these proceeds will be recognized in 
earnings in exchange for the transfer of tax credits. The direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring these arrangements 
have  been  deferred  and  are  included  in  other  non-current  assets  on  our  consolidated  balance  sheets.  These  costs  will  be 
recognized in conjunction with the recognition of the related proceeds on each arrangement. During the construction phase for 
each project, we are required to hold cash dedicated to fund each capital project which is classified as restricted cash on our 
consolidated balance sheets. Variable-interest entities, which have been included within our consolidated financial statements, 
have been created as a result of the structure of these transactions, as investors in the programs do not have a material interest in 
their underlying economics. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we settled one arrangement at the end of the seven year 
term  and  as  a  result,  $7.4  million  of  operating  income  was  recognized  as  a  reduction  to  selling,  general  and  administrative 
expenses within the Architectural Glass segment.

Litigation
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the 
construction  supply  and  services  industry,  the  Company  is  routinely  involved  in  various  disputes  and  claims  arising  out  of 
construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. We have in the past and are 
currently subject to product liability and warranty claims, including certain legal claims related to a commercial sealant product 
formerly  incorporated  into  our  products.  The  Company  is  also  subject  to  litigation  arising  out  of  areas  such  as  employment 
practices, workers compensation and general liability matters. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of 
any such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no matters will result in losses that would have a material adverse 
effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

11.  Shareholders' Equity

A class of 200,000 shares of junior preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 is authorized, but unissued.

Share Repurchases
During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, with subsequent increases in authorization. 
We  repurchased  2,292,846  shares  under  the  program  during  fiscal  2022,  for  a  total  cost  of  $100.0  million.  We  repurchased 
1,177,704 shares under the program, for a total cost of $32.9 million, in fiscal 2021, and 686,997 shares under the program, for 
a total cost of $25.1 million, in fiscal 2020. The Company has repurchased a total of 9,425,462 shares, at a total cost of $307.3

million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 1,824,538 shares under this program, 
which has no expiration date.

In addition to the shares repurchased under this repurchase plan, during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company also withheld 
$2.1 million, $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of Company stock from employees in order to satisfy stock-for-stock 
option exercises or tax obligations related to stock-based compensation, pursuant to terms of board and shareholder-approved 
compensation plans.

We have a 2019 Stock Incentive Plan and a 2019 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan (the Plans) that provide for the issuance 
of 1,150,000 and 150,000 shares, respectively, for various forms of stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee 
directors.  We  also  have  a  2009  Stock  Incentive  Plan  and  2009  Non-Employee  Director  Stock  Incentive  Plan  with  shares 
reserved for issuance for outstanding unvested awards. Awards under these Plans may be in the form of incentive stock options 
(to employees only), nonstatutory options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), or nonvested share awards and units, 
all of which are granted at a price or with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of 
award.  No  additional  awards  can  be  made  under  the  2009  Stock  Incentive  Plan  or  the  2009  Non-Employee  Director  Stock 
Incentive Plan. Nonvested share awards and units generally vest over a two, three or four-year period.

Total stock-based compensation expense was $6.3 million in fiscal 2022, $8.6 million in fiscal 2021 and $6.6 million in fiscal 
2020. We account for any forfeitures as they occur. 

Stock Options and SARs
In  June  2020,  we  granted  660,600  stock  options  which  had  a  weighted  average  fair  value  per  option  at  the  date  of  grant  of 
$5.01. 

The fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial lattice option-pricing model with the 
following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2021.

The Company has state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards with a tax effect of $8.6 million. A valuation allowance of 
$4.5 million has been established for these net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of the use of the tax benefits 
in future periods.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be 
generated to permit use of the existing Deferred Tax Assets ("DTAs"). This has resulted in valuation allowances being recorded 

56

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
against  DTAs  in  prior  years  in  Brazil,  Canada  and  various  states.  During  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2022,  an  additional 
valuation allowance of $11.5 million was recorded against Canadian DTAs to recognize only the portion of the DTA that is 
more likely than not to be realized.  As of February 26, 2022, we have a full valuation allowance recorded against our Canadian 
DTAs.    A  significant  piece  of  objective  negative  evidence  evaluated  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2022  was  the  cumulative 
losses incurred in Canada over the three-year period ended February 26, 2022, driven primarily by the impairments recorded in 
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.  Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our 
projections for future growth. The amount of the DTA considered realizable could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in 
the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections 
for growth or if the Company were to identify and implement a tax strategy to provide a future source of taxable income.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil and other 
international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2019, or 
state  and  local  income  tax  examinations  for  years  prior  to  fiscal  2013.  The  Company  is  not  currently  under  U.S.  federal 
examination  for  years  subsequent  to  fiscal  year  2018,  and  there  is  very  limited  audit  activity  of  the  Company’s  income  tax 
returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.

The Company considers the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside of the United States on the 
basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs and specific plans 
for reinvestment of those subsidiary earnings. Should the Company decide to repatriate the foreign earnings, it would need to 
adjust the income tax provision in the period it was determined that the earnings will no longer be indefinitely invested outside 
the U.S.

If we were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, $1.7 million, $2.2 million and $2.6 million for fiscal 2022, 2021 
and 2020, respectively, would benefit the effective tax rate. 

Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. For fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, 
we accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.3 million. 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits:

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) in response to 
the  COVID-19  pandemic.  The  CARES  Act  contains  numerous  income  tax  provisions,  such  as  relaxing  limitations  on  the 
deductibility  of  interest  and  the  ability  to  carryback  net  operating  losses  arising  in  taxable  years  from  2018  through  2020.  
While  these  provisions  did  not  impact  the  Company,  a  provision  related  to  the  temporary  deferral  of  the  employer  share  of 
payroll taxes allowed us to defer remittance of $13.6 million of payroll taxes in calendar 2020.  During the fourth quarter of 
fiscal  2022,  we  repaid  half  of  the  deferred  tax  payments  in  the  amount  of  $6.8  million,  with  the  remaining  amount  of  $6.8 
million  included  within  accrued  payroll  and  other  benefits  on  our  consolidated  balance  sheets  to  be  repaid  in  calendar  year 
2022. 

14. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. 
Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  earnings  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares 
outstanding,  including  the  dilutive  effects  of  stock  options,  SARs  and  nonvested  shares.  The  following  table  presents  a 
reconciliation of the share amounts used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Due to the varying combinations and integration of individual window, storefront and curtainwall systems, the Company has 
determined  that  it  is  impractical  to  report  product  revenues  generated  by  class  of  product  beyond  the  segment  revenues 
currently reported.

Segment operating income is equal to net sales less cost of sales and operating expenses. Operating income does not include 
interest  expense  or  a  provision  for  income  taxes.  Architectural  Framing  Systems  segment  results  include  $49.5  million  and 
$70.1 million of impairment charges and $1.7 million and $5.3 million of restructuring charges in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, 
respectively. Architectural Glass segment results include $27.1 million and $0.3 million of restructuring charges in fiscal 2022 
and fiscal 2021, respectively. Corporate and other includes miscellaneous corporate activity, including certain legal, consulting 
and advisory costs and certain employee benefit costs not allocable to our segments, as well as $1.7 million and $0.2 million of 
restructuring charges in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. Corporate and other also includes $16.7 million in fiscal 2020, 
of project-related charges on acquired contracts, as well as $15.0 million of insurance proceeds related to a project matter in 
fiscal 2020. Identifiable assets for Corporate and other include all short- and long-term available-for-sale securities. 

The following table presents net sales, based on the location in which the sale originated, and long-lived assets, representing 
property, plant and equipment, net of related depreciation, by geographic region.

Apogee's export net sales from U.S. operations were $59.5 million, $33.1 million, and $54.7 million in fiscal 2022, 2021, and 
2020, respectively, representing approximately 5 percent of consolidated net sales in each of these fiscal years.

Restructuring

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we announced plans to realign and simplify our business structure which resulted in 
the closure of two facilities within the Architectural Glass segment, in Dallas, Texas and Statesboro, Georgia. These closures 
were made in order to concentrate this segment on premium, high-performance products. Additionally, employee termination 
costs were incurred related to these facility closures, realignment of the Architectural Framing Systems segment, and within the 
Corporate office. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, as a result of the announced restructuring plan, we sold a building in 
Statesboro,  Georgia  within  our  Architectural  Glass  segment  for  $29.1  million.  The  carrying  value  of  the  building  was 
$9.4 million, and we recognized a gain on this sale of approximately $19.5 million, net of associated transaction costs, which is 
included as a reduction of cost of sales within our consolidated statements of operations. 

For  the  year  ended  February  26,  2022,  we  incurred  $30.5  million  of  pre-tax  costs  associated  with  the  execution  of  these 
restructuring plans, of which $28.2 million is included within cost of sales and $2.3 million is included within selling, general 
and administrative expenses, excluding the gain on sale mentioned above, within our consolidated statements of operations.

For  the  year  ended  February  27,  2021,  we  closed  seven  facilities  within  our  Architectural  Framing  Systems  segment,  exited 
certain  leases  for  those  facilities,  and  provided  certain  termination  benefits  to  employees  across  the  Company,  resulting  in 
restructuring-related costs of  $5.8 million, of which $5.2 million is included within cost of sales and $0.6 million is included 
within selling, general and administrative expenses within our consolidated statements of operations.
