1.Basis of Presentation

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 4, 2017.February 26, 2022. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly and year to date operating results are reflected herein and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the nine-month periodthree- and six-month periods ended December 2, 2017August 27, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


Subsequent eventsAt the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we began management of the Sotawall and Harmon businesses under the Architectural Services segment in order to create a single, unified offering for larger custom curtainwall projects. The comparative fiscal 2022 segment results for the Architectural Framing Systems and Architectural Services segments have been recast to reflect the move of the Sotawall business into the Architectural Services segment from the Architectural Framing Systems segment, effective at the start of the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Receivables
Receivables reflected in the unaudited consolidated 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 nine months ended December 2, 2017, we evaluated subsequent events for potential recognitiondebtor, recent payment history, current and disclosure throughforecast 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 dateasset 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 this filing. On December 20, 2017,completion where amounts are released to us from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "2017 Act") was signed into law. We arecustomer.

Contract assets and analyzing informationliabilities
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 determine the impactcustomer. Contract liabilities consist of the 2017 Actbillings 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 accounting for income taxes, including the remeasurement of our deferred tax assetsconsolidated balance sheets.

The time period between when performance obligations are complete and liabilities. The consolidated financial statements presented herein dowhen payment is due is 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 January 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

significant. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, our fiscal 2019. We have undertaken a comprehensive assessment process at eachcertain of our businesses and have concluded on the application of the new guidance at nearly all 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, followingprogress billings follow an agreed-upon schedule of values, and retainage is withheld by the customer until the project reaches a cost-to-cost percentagelevel of completion methodwhere amounts are released to us from the customer.

We are continuing to assess the appropriate measure of progress toward completion, based on the facts and circumstances specific to theunsatisfied performance obligations and terms of sale of each business.
Weat August 27, 2022 are in the process of evaluating how the revenue recognition guidance applies to EFCO, the business acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

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 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, with a modified retrospective transition. The adoption of this standard will result in reflecting assets and liabilities for the value of our leased property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheet, but we do not currently expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows, and in November 2016, it issued 2016-18, Restricted Cash. Both standards provide guidance for presentation of certain topics within the statement of cash flows, including presenting

restricted cash within cash and cash equivalents, and are intended to improve consistency in presentation. The new classification guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, our fiscal year 2019, and isexpected 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,satisfied, and the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying 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 adoption of this guidance for our future annual goodwill impairment review process.

3.Share-Based Compensation
Total share-based compensation expense included in the results of operations was $4.6 million for the nine-month period ended December 2, 2017 and $4.4 million for the nine-month period ended November 26, 2016.

Stock Options and SARs
Stock option and SAR activity for the current nine-month period is summarized as follows:

Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.8 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended December 2, 2017 and November 26, 2016, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of securities exercised (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant) was $4.8 million during the nine months ended December 2, 2017 and $4.5 million during the prior-year period.

Nonvested Shares and Share Units
Nonvested share activity for the current nine-month period is summarized as follows:

Derivative instruments
We use interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, commodity 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 exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on our floating-rate revolving credit facility and term loan. As of August 27, 2022, the interest rate swap contract had a notional value of $30.0 million.

We periodically enter into forward purchase contracts and/or fixed/floating swaps to manage the risk associated with fluctuations in aluminum prices and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates (primarily related to the Canadian dollar). These contracts generally have an original maturity date of less than one year. As of August 27, 2022, we held foreign exchange forward contracts and aluminum fixed/floating swaps with U.S. dollar notional values of $3.2 million and $12.2 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 income.

7.Fair Value Measurements

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.

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.

Short- and long-term securities
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 short-termother current or long-termother non-current assets based on maturity date.


8.Acquisitions

Cash surrender value of life insurance and deferred compensation
EFCOContracts insuring the lives of certain employees who are eligible to participate in certain 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 participants in certain deferred compensation plans. 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 other observable market inputs, based off of benchmark interest rates. Forward foreign exchange and fixed/floating aluminum contracts are measured at fair value using other observable 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 both 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
13

Table of Contents
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 linethe 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 strategic objectives, on June 12, 2017, we acquired 100 percentgoodwill 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.

5.Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the stockcost over the value of EFCO Corporation, a privately held U.S. manufacturernet tangible and identified intangible assets of architectural aluminum window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systemsacquired businesses. We evaluate goodwill for commercial construction projects, for $192 million in cash. The acquisition was funded through our committed revolving credit facility, with $7.5 millionimpairment annually as of the purchase price payablefirst day of our fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in equal installments overcircumstances indicate that the next three years. EFCO's resultscarrying value of operations have been includedgoodwill may not be recoverable.

At the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we began management of the Sotawall and Harmon businesses under the Architectural Services segment in our consolidated financial statementsorder to create a single, unified offering for larger custom curtainwall projects which resulted in the combination of the Sotawall and withinHarmon reporting units into a single reporting unit. We evaluated goodwill on a qualitative basis prior to and subsequent to this change for these reporting units and concluded that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary. Concurrent with the move of Sotawall from the Architectural Framing Systems segment since the date of acquisition. Those results include $135.3 million of sales and $6.1 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, 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 judgments as to projections of future operating performance, the appropriate discount rate to apply, long-term growth rates, etc. (i.e. - unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 inputs under 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:

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 SystemsServices segment sinceeffective at the datestart of acquisition. Purchase accounting related to the acquisition of Sotawall was finalized during the theour first quarter of fiscal 2018.2023, goodwill was reallocated to the affected reporting units within each segment, using a relative fair value approach as outlined in ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. In addition, for all reporting units, no qualitative indicators of impairment were identified during the first quarter, and therefore, no interim quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation was performed.


The following table sets forth certain unaudited pro forma consolidated data forpresents 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.

Other intangible assets
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 the impairment analysis performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the fair value of each of our trade names and trademarks exceeded the carrying amount. However, due to triggering events identified in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, resulting from the finalization of our plans for integrating the Sotawall business into the Architectural Services segment, beginning in fiscal 2023, we determined that the carrying value of the Sotawall trade name exceeded fair value by $12.7 million. We determined that Sotawall had an immaterial fair value, resulting in the trade name being fully impaired as of fiscal 2022 year-end. We recognized this amount 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 identified during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, 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 of Sotawall were impaired as of February 26, 2022. As such, we recognized a long-lived asset impairment charge of $36.7 million in finite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022, within the Architectural Framing Systems segment.

7. Leases

We lease certain of the buildings and equipment used in our operations. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Currently, all of our lease arrangements are classified as operating 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; 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 non lease components (e.g., respectively.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.

Letters of credit.credit
At December 2, 2017,August 27, 2022, we had $12.3 million of ongoing letters of credit, related to construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds.

Litigation.New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transactions
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 other non-current liabilities in 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 in 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 or for working capital purposes for each project, we are required to hold cash dedicated to fund each capital project which is classified as restricted cash in 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 first quarter of fiscal 2023, one NMTC transaction was terminated, and a new NMTC transaction was established as a replacement. As a result of these transactions, $19.5 million in previous proceeds received were repaid and $19.5 million was contributed back to the Company as part of the newly established NMTC transaction. This NMTC transaction will be held for the remainder of the original seven-year term.

Executive Compensation Program
In fiscal 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors implemented an executive compensation program for certain key employees. In the each of the first quarters of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, we issued performance shares in the form of nonvested share unit awards, which give the recipient the right to receive shares earned at the end of the respective performance periods. The number of share units issued at grant is equal to the target number of performance shares and allows for the right to receive a variable number of shares dependent on achieving a defined performance goal of return on invested capital and being employed at the end of the performance period.

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.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company claimed certain tax deductions, including a worthless stock loss deduction, related to its investment in Sotawall Limited, a Canadian subsidiary. These deductions generated a net tax benefit of $13.7 million.

The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $5.3 million at August 27, 2022, compared to $3.3 million at February 26, 2022. The increase was primarily related to the tax deductions claimed during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 associated with the Company's investment in Sotawall Limited, a Canadian subsidiary. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.

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


13. Restructuring

On August 11, 2021, we announced plans to realign and simplify our business structure. During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we completed the execution of these plans with the sale of the remaining manufacturing assets at our Architectural Glass location, in Dallas, Texas, for $4.1 million. The remaining assets had a carrying value of $3.4 million, and we recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $0.6 million, net of associated transaction costs, which is included as a reduction of cost of sales within our consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes our restructuring related accrual balances included within accrued payroll and related costs and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. All balances are expected to be paid within the current fiscal year.

Overview
We are a world leader in certain technologies involving 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 (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 below:
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.

At the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we began management of the Sotawall and Harmon businesses under the Architectural Services segment in order to create a single, unified offering for larger custom curtainwall projects. The comparative fiscal 2022 segment results for the Architectural Framing Systems and Architectural Services segments have been recast to reflect the move of the Sotawall business into the Architectural Services segment from the Architectural Framing Systems segment, effective at the start of the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

SG&A decreased as a percent of sales and 14.7 percent of salescompared to the same period in the three- and nine-month periods, respectively, last year. The increases in the currentprior year periods were primarily due to amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the Sotawall and EFCO transactions and EFCO acquisition-related costs. These two factors combined made up approximately 170 basis points of the increase in each of the three- and nine-month periods of fiscal 2018, compared to the prior-year periods.benefits realized from previously completed restructuring actions.

As of August 27, 2022, segment backlog was approximately $286 million, compared to approximately $310 million at the end of the prior quarter of the current fiscal year. 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. GAAP and is not a measure of contract profitability. We view backlog as one indicator of future revenues, particularly in our longer-lead time businesses. 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 strong visibility beyond backlog, as projects awarded, verbal commitments and bidding activities are not included in backlog.

LSO net sales increased $3.9 million, or 17.7 percent, and $1.5 million, or 2.4 percent, for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 2, 2017, respectively, over the comparable prior-year periods, as a result of strong customer orders, partly due to timing, and success in new display markets.
Operating margin declined 90 basis points and 150 basis points for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods of the current year, respectively, overcompared to the same periods in the prior year, due to accrual of additional incentive compensation on stronger current-year performance. In the current quarter, this wasprimarily reflecting higher volume and improved pricing, partially offset by improved operating leverage on increased volume.cost inflation.
Given the short lead times in this segment, we do not consider backlog to be a significant metric.

We estimate fiscal 2018 capital expenditures to be $55 to $60 million, as we continue to invest in productivity and capabilities.the prior year period.

We continually 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, pursue geographic expansion, take actions to manage capacity and/or further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current 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, we had outstanding borrowings under our credit facility of $209.0 million. As defined within our amended committed revolving credit facility, we are required to comply with two financial covenants. These financial covenants require us to stay below a maximum leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio. At December 2, 2017, we were in compliance with both financial covenants.


We paid dividends totaling $12.0$9.6 million ($0.420.4400 per share) in the first ninesix months of fiscal 2018. As2023, compared to $10.1 million ($0.4000 per share) in the comparable prior year period.

The long-term debt obligations due in fiscalDuring the second quarter ended August 27, 2022, relate primarily to borrowings underwe amended and extended our committed revolving credit facility to include maximum borrowings of up to $385 million with a maturity of August 2027. As part of the amendment, we repaid the $150 million term loan with borrowings under the revolving credit facility. From timeAs of August 27, 2022, outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility were $235.0 million, while there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of February 26, 2022. We are required to time,make periodic interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, and future interest payments will be determined based on the amount of outstanding borrowings and prevailing interest rates during that time.

Our revolving credit facility contains two financial covenants that require us to stay below a maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio and maintain a minimum ratio of EBITDA-to-interest expense. Both ratios are computed quarterly, with EBITDA calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis. At August 27, 2022, we were in compliance with both financial covenants.
We acquire the use of certain assets through operating leases, such as warehouses,property, manufacturing equipment, vehicles forklifts, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturingother equipment. ManyFuture payments for such leases, excluding leases with initial terms of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, becauseone year or less, were $49.3 million at August 27, 2022, with $6.7 million payable during the assetsremainder of fiscal 2023.

As of August 27, 2022, we had $225.2 million of open purchase obligations, of which payments totaling $117.8 million are used inexpected to become due within the conductremainder 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, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.

Purchasefiscal 2023. These purchase obligations in the table aboveprimarily relate to raw material commitments and capital expenditures.expenditures, and are not expected to impact future liquidity as amounts should be recovered through customer billings.


We expect to make contributions of $1.0$0.7 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2018,2023, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.


As of December 2, 2017,August 27, 2022, we had reserves of $5.4 million and $1.4$5.3 million for unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We currently expect approximately $0.3 million of the unrecognized tax benefits to lapse during the next 12 months.benefits. 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, $86.4August 27, 2022, $1.1 billion of these types of bonds were outstanding, of which $361.1 million ofis in our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $310.0 million.

We have never been required to make any payments related to theseunder surety or performance bonds with respect to anyour existing businesses.

During calendar year 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. This deferral allowed us to retain cash during calendar year 2020 that would have otherwise been remitted to the federal government. We paid our current portfoliofirst installment of businesses.these deferred social security taxes, totaling approximately $6.8 million, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, and expect to pay our second installment of approximately $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.


Due to our ability to generate strong cash from operations and our borrowing capability under our committed revolving credit facility, we believe that our sources of liquidity 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 be able to operate our business so as to continue to be adequatein compliance with our existing debt covenants over the next fiscal year.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to fundhave a current or future effect on our working capital requirements, plannedfinancial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

Outlook
Based on our second-quarter results and dividend paymentsincreasing confidence in our outlook, we have raised our guidance for at leastfull-year adjusted earnings to a range of $3.75 to $4.05 per diluted* share, up from the next 12 months.previously announced range of $3.50 to $3.90. We expect full year revenue growth of 8 to 10 percent, primarily driven by growth in our Architectural Framing Systems segment. The company continues to expect full-year capital expenditures of approximately $40 million.

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. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. We are currently expecting:
Revenue growth of approximately 20 percent over fiscal 2017.
Operating margin of 8.6 percent to 8.9 percent.
Earnings per diluted share of $2.58 to $2.68.
Adjusted operating margin of 10.1 to 10.4 percentand adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.04 to $3.14(1).
Capital expenditures of $55 to $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 million (after tax, $0.24 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 diluted 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.

Impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets
Goodwill
At the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we began management of the Sotawall and Harmon businesses under the Architectural Services segment in order to create a single, unified offering for larger custom curtainwall projects which resulted in the combination of the Sotawall and Harmon reporting units into a single reporting unit. We evaluated goodwill on a qualitative basis prior to and subsequent to this change for these reporting units and concluded that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary. Concurrent with the move of Sotawall from the Architectural Framing Systems segment to the Architectural Services segment effective at the start of our first quarter of fiscal 2023, goodwill was reallocated to the affected reporting units within each segment, using a relative fair value approach as outlined in ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. In addition, for all reporting units, no qualitative indicators of impairment were identified during the first quarter, and therefore, no interim quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation was performed.
