In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements
Significant accounting policies update
Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Data" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the nine monthsyear ended December 2, 2017, we evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing.March 3, 2018. On December 20, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "2017 Act") was signed into law. We are in the process of preparing and analyzing information to determine the impact of the 2017 Act on our accounting for income taxes, including the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The consolidated financial statements presented herein do not reflect any impact that may result from completing the accounting for the income tax effects of the 2017 Act.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, in late December 2017 and early JanuaryMarch 4, 2018, we purchased 246,299 shares of stock under our authorized share repurchase program, at a total cost of $11.1 million.

On January 5, 2018, we announced a restructuring plan that involves the closure of our St. George, UT architectural glass manufacturing facility in March 2018, enabled by our investments in productivity and increased capabilities, which have led to an increase in capacity. This and other restructuring activities are expected to have an approximately $4.5 million pre-tax impact in our fiscal fourth quarter.

2.New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlinesand as a single comprehensive modelresult, made updates to use inour significant accounting policy for revenue arisingrecognition.

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 supersedes mostbusinesses that recognize revenue at a point in time.

In the current year-to-date period, approximately 46 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 33 percent of our total revenue in the current year. This includes one business which changed revenue recognition guidance. Underpractices due to the adoption of the new standard,guidance, moving from recognizing revenue at shipment to an entity recognizesover-time method of revenue recognition. 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 depict the transfertotal estimated costs for the contract, and record that proportion of promisedthe 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 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 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.

Table of Contents

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 21 percent of our total revenue in the current year, that recognizes revenue following an amountover-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. Previously, this business recognized revenue at the time of shipment. 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.

As outlined within the new accounting guidance, we elected several practical expedients in our transition to ASC 606:
We have made an accounting policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that reflectsoccur after control of the considerationrelated goods transfers to which the entity expectscustomer as fulfillment activities, instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations.
We have made an accounting policy election to exclude from the transaction price all sales taxes related to revenue-producing transactions that are collected from the customer for a government authority.
We generally expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would be entitledless than one year. These costs primarily relate to sales commissions and are included in exchangeselling, general and administrative expenses.
We have not adjusted 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 or services. Thisand services to be less than a year.

Adoption of new accounting standards
We adopted the new guidance is effectivein ASC 606 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not complete as of March 4, 2018. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and therefore continue to be reported in accordance with the accounting guidance and our accounting policies in effect for annual reportingthose periods.

Representing the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606, we recorded a $3.0 million increase to the opening balance of retained earnings as of March 4, 2018. For the three- and nine-month periods beginning afterending December 15, 2017, our fiscal 2019. We have undertaken a comprehensive assessment process at each of our businesses and have concluded on1, 2018, the application of the new accounting guidance at nearly allhad the following impact on our consolidated financial statements:

These changes are primarily a result of the transition of certain of our businesses. We are in the process of quantifying the impact that this standard will have on our financial statements upon adoption. At this time:
We plan to adopt the guidance following a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in fiscal 2019. We are in the process of determining this retained earnings adjustment.
We have determined that some of our business units will continue to recognize revenue at the point in time when goods are shipped, as that represents when control is transferred to the customer. We also have business units that continue to recognize revenue over time, following a cost-to-cost percentage of completion method of revenue recognition.
We expect that two of our business units will changebusinesses from recognizing revenue at a point inthe time of shipment to recognizingover-time methods of revenue over time, to better reflect transfer of control torecognition.

In the customer in line with the new guidance. We are continuing to assess the appropriate measure of progress toward completion, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the performance obligations and terms of sale of each business.
We are in the process of evaluating how the revenue recognition guidance applies to EFCO, the business acquired in the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2018.2019, we elected to early adopt ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard permits a company to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings. The FASB refers to these amounts as “stranded tax effects.” As a result of this adoption, we reclassified income tax effects of $0.7 million resulting from tax reform from AOCI to retained earnings following a portfolio approach. These stranded tax effects are derived from the deferred tax balances on our pension obligations as a result of the lower U.S. federal corporate tax rate.

Accounting standards not yet adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which provides for comprehensive changes to lease accounting. The new standard requires that a lessee recognize a lease obligation liability and a right to useright-to-use asset for virtually all leases of property, plant and equipment, subsequently amortized over the lease term. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, our fiscal year 2020, with2020. In July 2018, the FASB issued an additional update which allows an entity the option to adopt the guidance on a modified retrospective transition. Thebasis. Under the modified retrospective approach, which we plan to adopt in implementing the new guidance, an entity would recognize a cumulative effect adjustment of initially applying the guidance to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Prior period amounts will not be adjusted.

We are in the process of analyzing our lease arrangements and evaluating our initial right-to-use asset and lease liability balances, including determining estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the lease asset and liability. We are also in the process of determining modifications to our business processes, accounting policies and systems and controls that are needed to support measurement, recognition and disclosure under this new standard. We expect that the adoption of this standard will result in reflecting assetsa material right-of-use asset and liabilities for the value of our leased property and equipmentlease liability on our consolidated balance sheet, butsheet. In adopting the new standard, we plan to elect the package of practical expedients, as well as the practical expedient to not separate nonlease components from lease components. We plan to adopt the new guidance following the modified retrospective application approach. We do not currently expect this guidancestandard to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations.operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.

In August 2016,Subsequent events
We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statementdate of Cash Flows, and in November 2016, it issued 2016-18, Restricted Cash. Both standards provide guidance for presentationthis filing. Subsequent to the end of certain topics within the statementquarter, we purchased 504,004 shares of cash flows, including presentingstock under our authorized share repurchase program, at a total cost of $14.9 million.

2.Acquisition

On June 12, 2017, we acquired 100 percent of the stock of EFCO Corporation, a privately held U.S. manufacturer of architectural aluminum window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems for commercial construction projects, for $192 million in cash, within cash and cash equivalents, and are intended to improve consistencyfunded through our committed revolving credit facility. EFCO's results of operations have been included in presentation. The new classification guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, our fiscal year 2019, and is to be applied retrospectively for comparability across all periods. We do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017,statements and within the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, SimplifyingArchitectural Framing Systems segment since the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in the current two-step impairment test process. The new guidance eliminates the current requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using step 2. The standard is applicable to impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019, our fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating early adoptiondate of this guidance for our future annual goodwill impairment review process.acquisition.

At December 2, 2017, thereContract 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.

Contract assets $93,316
 $30,508
Contract liabilities 30,447
 20,120

The increase in contract assets was $8.5due to additional businesses recognizing revenue in advance of billings, as a result of changing accounting policies for revenue recognition upon adoption of ASC 606 and the timing of costs incurred in advance of billing on a large project. The increase in contract liabilities was due to timing of project activity within our businesses that operate under long-term contracts.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2019, we recognized revenue of $10.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested sharecontract liabilities at March 4, 2018, and nonvested share unit awards,revenue of $3.8 million related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods due to changes in contract estimates. For the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we did not recognize any revenue related to contract liabilities at March 4, 2018, and recognized revenue of $1.5 million related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods due to changes in contract estimates.

Some of our contracts have an expected duration of longer than a year, with performance obligations extending over that timeframe. Generally these contracts are in our businesses with long-term contracts which isrecognize revenue over time. As of December 1, 2018, the transaction price associated with unsatisfied performance obligations was approximately $706.3 million. The performance obligations are expected to be satisfied, and the corresponding revenue to be recognized, over a weighted average period of approximately 21 months.

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 financial assets or liabilities.

8.Acquisitions

Foreign currency instruments
EFCO
In lineWe periodically enter into forward purchase foreign currency contracts, generally with our strategic objectives, on June 12, 2017, we acquired 100 percent of the stock of EFCO Corporation, a privately held U.S. manufacturer of architectural aluminum window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems for commercial construction projects, for $192 million in cash. The acquisition was funded through our committed revolving credit facility, with $7.5 million of the purchase price payable in equal installments over the next three years. EFCO's results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements and within the Architectural Framing Systems segment since thean original maturity date of acquisition. Those results include $135.3less than one year, to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. As of December 1, 2018, we held foreign exchange forward contracts with a U.S. dollar notional value of $16.0 million, with the objective of salesreducing the exposure to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and $6.1the Euro. The fair value of these contracts was a liability of $0.4 million of operating income since the date of acquisition.

The assets and liabilities of EFCO were recorded in our consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date,December 1, 2018. These forward contracts are measured at their respective fair values. Fair value is estimated based on one or a combination of income, cost and/or market approaches, as determined based on the nature of the asset or liability, and the level of inputs available. With respect to assets and liabilities, the determination of fair value requires management to make subjective judgmentsusing unobservable market inputs, such as to projections of future operating performance, the appropriate discount rate to apply, long-term growthquotations on forward foreign exchange points and foreign currency exchange rates, etc. (i.e. - unobservable inputsand would be classified as Level 3 inputs under2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 7), which affect the amounts recorded in the purchase price allocation. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets, net of liabilities, is recorded as goodwill, which is indicative of the expected continued growth and development of EFCO. The purchase price allocation is based on these estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows:above.

Sotawall
On December 14, 2016, we acquired substantially all the assets of Sotawall, Inc., now operating under the name Sotawall Limited ("Sotawall"). Sotawall specializes in the design, engineering, fabrication, assembly and installation of unitized curtainwall systems for industrial, commercial and institutional buildings, primarily serving the Canadian and northeastern U.S. geographic regions. Sotawall's results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements and within the Architectural Framing Systems segment since the date of acquisition. Purchase accounting related to the acquisition of Sotawall was finalized during the the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

The following table sets forth certain unaudited pro forma consolidated data for the combined company for the third quarters and first nine-month periods of fiscal 2018 and 2017, as if the EFCO and Sotawall acquisitions were consummated pursuant to each of their respective same terms at the beginning of the fiscal year preceding their respective acquisition dates.

We maintain a committed revolving credit facility with maximum borrowings of up to $335.0 million, maturing in November 2021. Outstanding borrowings under our committed revolving credit facility were $209.0211.5 million, as of December 2, 20171, 2018, and $45.0$195.0 million, as of March 4, 20173, 2018. Under this facility, we are subject to two 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. At December 2, 2017,1, 2018, we were in compliance with both financial covenants. Additionally, at December 2, 2017,1, 2018, we had a total of $26.3$25.1 million of ongoing letters of credit related to industrial revenue bonds and construction contracts that expire in fiscal 20182020 and reduce availability of funds under our committed credit facility.

The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds approximated carrying value at December 2, 2017,1, 2018, due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. All debt would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 7.5.

We also maintain two Canadian revolving demand credit facilities totaling $12.0 million Canadian dollars. As of December 2, 2017, $1.51, 2018, $0.4 million was outstanding under these facilities, and no borrowings were outstanding as of March 4, 2017.3, 2018.

Litigation.New Markets Tax Credit transactions
In September 2018, we entered into a transaction with SunTrust Community Capital (STCC) under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program related to an investment in plant and equipment within our Architectural Framing Systems segment. STCC contributed $3.2 million to this project, which is included in other non-current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We have completed two NMTC transactions this fiscal year. Under the terms of these arrangements, we are required to hold cash dedicated to fund the related capital projects which is classified as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets.

Since fiscal 2014, we have entered into four separate NMTC programs to support our operational expansion. The NMTC arrangements are subject to 100 percent tax credit recapture for a period of seven years from the date of each respective transaction. Therefore, upon the termination of each arrangement at the end of the seven-year period, proceeds received from investors will be recognized in earnings in exchange for the transfer of tax credits. Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring these arrangements have been deferred and will be recognized in conjunction with the recognition of the related profits.

Variable-interest entities have been created as a result of the transaction structure, which have been included within our consolidated financial statements as investors in the program do not have a material interest in the underlying economics of the respective projects.

Litigation
In November 2018, a purported class action lawsuit was filed claiming the Company and certain named executive officers made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business and operations during the period June 28, 2018 to September 17, 2018. In December 2018, a derivative lawsuit was filed against certain of our executive officers and directors claiming breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. We intend to vigorously defend against these matters. Due to the preliminary nature of these matters, we are unable to estimate any potential loss at this time.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to ourits normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, our businesses arethe Company is routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement.

SalesIn the three-month period, sales growth was primarily due todriven by the addition of EFCOArchitectural Services segment, largely offset by volume-related declines in June 2017 and Sotawall in December 2016 within the Architectural Framing Systemsand Large Scale Optical segments. In the nine-month period, the increase in sales was primarily driven by the Architectural Services segment, as well as growth from our Architectural Framing segment, partially offset by the declinelower sales in our Architectural Services segment. Foreign currency did not have a meaningful impact on sales results in the current-year period or the prior-year period.

The sales decline in the current-year third quarter was primarily due to lower volumes reflecting project timing delays in some of the segment's end markets. For the nine-month period, the sales increase was primarily due to the addition of EFCO (acquired in June 2017) for the full period.

Sales for the nine-month period ended December 2, 2017 decreased $7.5and declined $28.5 million, or 2.59.8 percent, over the prior-year period due to delays in timing of larger projects, partly offset by share gains in mid-size projects.

Operating margin declined 150 basis points and 50 basis points for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, ended December 1, 2018, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decline in the year-to-date period was the result of changes in the timing of customer orders as well as volume declines stemming from operational challenges within the segment (described in the next paragraph).
Operating margin declined 350 and 630 basis points, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods of the current year, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The declines in both periods wereyear, primarily driven by reducedsignificantly increased labor costs, continued lower productivity and higher cost of quality, as the segment has been challenged to efficiently ramp-up production in a tight labor market to meet higher than expected order intake and customer demand. In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we made progress toward overcoming these operational challenges, resulting in operating leverage on lower volume,margin improvement compared to the prior quarter and pricing and mix declines. These negative factors were partially offset by improved manufacturing productivity.
Given the short lead times in this segment, we do not consider backlogexpect these improvements to be a significant metric.continue into early fiscal 2020.

We continuallycontinue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses,take actions to adjust capacity, pursue geographic expansion, take actions to manage capacity and/or further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses and/or acquire other businesses. As a result, on January 5, 2018 we announced a plan to close the St. George, UT architectural glass manufacturing facility in March 2018, enabled by our investments in productivity and increased capabilities, which have led to an increase in capacity.


Financing Activities. At December 2, 2017,1, 2018, we had outstanding borrowings under our credit facility of $209.0 million.$211.5 million and $25.1 million of ongoing letters of credit that reduce availability of funds under our $335.0 million committed credit facility.

The long-term debt obligations due in fiscal 2022 relate primarily to borrowings under our committed revolving credit facility. From time to time, weWe acquire the use of certain assets through operating leases, such as warehouses, vehicles, forklifts, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment. ManyWhile many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore,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 $1.0 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2018,2019, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As of December 2, 20171, 2018, we had reserves of $5.4$5.3 million and $1.4$1.2 million for unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We currently expect approximately $0.3$0.6 million of the unrecognized tax benefits to lapse during the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods the remaining unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities will ultimately be settled. We are currently in the process of evaluating information to determine the impact the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will have on our accounting for income taxes.

At December 2, 2017, we had a total of $26.3 million of ongoing letters of credit related to industrial revenue bonds and construction contracts that expire in fiscal 2018 and reduce availability of funds under our committed credit facility.

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, weWe are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance by us.non-performance. At December 2, 2017, $86.41, 2018, $224.0 million of our backlog was bonded by performancethese types of bonds with a face value of $310.0$478.8 million. PerformanceThese bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are generally released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have nevernot been required to make any payments related tounder these performance bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio ofexisting businesses.

Due to our ability to generate strong cash from operations and borrowing capability under our committed revolving credit facility, we believe that our sources of liquidity will continue to be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments for at least the next 12 months.




Non-GAAP Measuresmeasures

We analyze non-GAAP measures for adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted common share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income. These measures are used by management to evaluate the Company's financial performance on a more consistent basis and improve comparability of results from period to period, because they exclude certain amounts that management does not consider to be part of the Company's core operating results. Examples of items excluded to arrive at these adjusted measures may include the impact of acquisition-related costs, amortization of short-lived acquired intangibles associated with backlog and non-recurring restructuring costs. We also monitor and disclose a non-GAAP measure for backlog, which represents the dollar amount of signed contracts or firm orders which we expect to recognize as revenue in the future. Backlog is used as one of the metrics to evaluate sales trends in our longer lead time operating segments. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported financial results of the companyCompany prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures presented below may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2018 results, not including any estimated impact from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.2019 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. We are currently expecting:
Revenue growth of approximately 20 percent over fiscal 2017.6 to 7 percent.
Operating margin of 8.6 percent to 8.9approximately 8.4 percent.
Earnings per diluted share of $2.58 to $2.68.approximately $3.00.
Adjusted operating margin of 10.1 to 10.4approximately 8.7 percentand adjusted earnings per diluted common share of $3.04 to $3.14approximately $3.13(1).
Capital expenditures of $55 toapproximately $60 million.
(1)Adjusted operating margin and adjusted earnings per diluted share exclude the impact of amortization of short-lived acquired intangible assets associated with the acquired backlog of Sotawall and EFCO of $7$3.8 million (after tax, $0.24$0.13 per diluted share) and acquisition-related costs for EFCO of approximately $3.1 million (after tax, $0.11 per diluted share). These two adjustments have a combined approximate 100 basis point negative impact on operating margin. Adjusted operating margin and adjusted earnings per diluted share also exclude the impact of planned fourth-quarter restructuring charges of approximately $4.5 million (after tax, $0.11 per dilutedcommon share). These non-GAAP measures are used by management to evaluate the Company's historical and prospective financial performance, measure operational profitability on a more consistent basis, and provide enhanced transparency to the investment community. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the financial results of the company prepared in accordance with GAAP.
