Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.

Our sales and earnings are subject to both seasonal and cyclical trends and are influenced by general economic conditions, interest rates, the price of steel relative to other building materials, the level of nonresidential construction activity, roof repair and retrofit demand and the availability and cost of financing for construction projects.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 30, 201629, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 10,December 18, 2017.
Reporting Periods

Gain on Insurance RecoveryChange in Operating Segments
In June 2016,On February 22, 2018, the Company experienced a fire at a facilityannounced changes to NCI’s reportable business segments, effective January 28, 2018 starting with the first quarter of fiscal 2018, to align with changes in how the Company manages its business, reviews operating performance and allocates resources.
As of the first quarter, the Company began reporting results under four reportable segments: Engineered Building Systems; Metal Components; Insulated Metal Panels; and Metal Coil Coating. Previously, operating results for the Insulated Metal Panel product line were included in the Metal Components segment. DuringIn addition, CENTRIA’s coil coating operations, which had also been included in the Metal Components segment since the Company’s acquisition of CENTRIA in January 2015, will now be reported within the Metal Coil Coating segment. The Company began reporting its financial results under the new reportable segments with the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ending January 28, 2018.
Disposition of Business
In the second quarter of fiscal 2017,2018, the Company settledclosed on the property damage claims withsale of CENTRIA International LLC, which owned our China manufacturing facility. The Company recognized a $6.7 million loss on the insurers for actual cash value of $18.0 million. Of this amount,sale in the Company received proceeds of $10.0 million from our insurersInsulated Metals Panel segment during the fourthsecond quarter of fiscal 2016.2018. The remaining $8.0 million was received in May 2017.
Approximately $8.8 million was previously recognized in the consolidated statementdisposition does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect of operations to offset the loss on involuntary conversion and other amounts incurred related to the incident. The remaining $9.2 million was recognized as a gain on insurance recovery in the consolidated statement of operations during the quarter ended April 30, 2017 as all contingencies were resolved.
The Company’s property insurance policy is a replacement cost policy such that the Company will be reimbursed an additional amount of up to $4.7 million for the difference between the actual cash value and the replacement cost if and when the property is replaced and/or new assets are acquired. Such amount will only be recognized in the Company’s operations or financial statements upon resolution of the associated contingency. Additionally, the Company anticipates additional insurance recoveries may be received for business interruption claims related to the fire.results.
NOTE 2 — ACQUISITION
Fiscal 2016 acquisition
On November 3, 2015, we acquired manufacturing operations in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada for cash consideration of $2.2 million, net of post-closing working capital adjustments. This business allows us to service customers more competitively within the Canadian and Northeastern United States insulated metal panel (“IMP”) markets. Because the business was acquired from a seller in connection with a divestment required by a regulatory authority, the fair value of net assets acquired exceeded the purchase consideration by $1.9 million, which was recorded as a non-taxable gain from bargain purchase in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2016.



The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of this acquisition as of November 3, 2015, as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 805, were as follows (in thousands):
  November 3, 2015
Current assets $307
Property, plant and equipment 4,810
Assets acquired 5,117
Current liabilities assumed 380
Fair value of net assets acquired 4,737
Total cash consideration transferred 2,201
Deferred tax liabilities 672
Gain from bargain purchase $(1,864)
The results of operations for this business are included in our Metal Components segment. Pro forma financial information and other disclosures for this acquisition have not been presented as it is not material to the Company’s financial position or operating results.
NOTE 3 — ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014,July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12,2015-11, Accounting for Share-Based Payments WhenInventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the TermsMeasurement of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service PeriodInventory. . ASU 2014-122015-11 requires that a performance targetinventory that affects vestinghas historically been measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method should now be measured at the lower of cost and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, as it relates to such awards.net realizable value. We adopted this guidance in our first quarter inof fiscal 20172018 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have anya material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In JanuaryNovember 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01,2015-17, Income StatementExtraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the ConceptBalance Sheet Classification of Extraordinary ItemsDeferred Taxes. ASU 2015-01 eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. We adopted ASU 2015-01 prospectively in our first quarter in fiscal 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-04, Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets. This ASU provides a practical expedient option to entities that have defined benefit plans and have a fiscal year end that does not coincide with a calendar month end. This ASU allows an entity to elect to measure defined benefit plan2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets and obligations using the calendar month-end that is closestliabilities to its fiscal year end. We adopted ASU 2015-04 prospectively in our first quarter in fiscal 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements as presented; however, the future impact of ASU 2015-04 will be dependent upon the nature of future significant events, if any, impacting the Company’s pension plans.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, IntangiblesGoodwill and OtherInternal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the guidance specifies that the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. ASU 2015-05 further specifies that the customer should account for a cloud computing arrangement as a service contract if the arrangement does not include a software license. We adopted ASU 2015-05 in our first quarter in fiscal 2017 on a prospective basis and, accordingly, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as noncurrent. The requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a direct deduction from the carrying amounttax-paying component of the related debt liability instead of beingan entity be offset and presented as a separate asset. The retrospective adoption ofsingle amount is not affected by this guidance in the first quarter of our fiscal 2017 resulted in a reclassification of approximately $8.1 million in deferred financing costs as of October 30, 2016 associated with our Notes and Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 11—Long-Term Debt and Note Payable) from other assets to long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets.


In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting), to provide further clarification to ASU 2015-03 as it relates to the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line of credit arrangements. Under this guidance, these costs may be presented as an asset and amortized ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are outstanding borrowings on the arrangement.update. We adopted this guidanceASU 2015-17 in our first quarter in fiscal 20172018 on a retrospective basis. The adoptionAs a result deferred tax assets of this guidance did not have any impact$20.1 million that were presented on our financial positionOctober 29, 2017 consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to non-current deferred tax liabilities


and the remaining $2.5 million deferred tax assets have been reclassified to non-current deferred tax assets to be consistent with the current year classification.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax effects, forfeitures, minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, classification as either equity or liability, and classification on the deferredstatement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-09 in our first quarter in fiscal 2018. ASU 2016-09 requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, thus eliminating additional paid-in capital pools. The Company applied the new standard guidance prospectively to all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies resulting from settlements after October 29, 2017. The standard also requires a policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $1.4 million to increase accumulated deficit on a modified retrospective basis as of October 29, 2017 and has elected to account for forfeitures when they occur on a prospective basis. The standard requires that excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows, which differs from the Company’s historical classification of the excess tax benefits as cash inflows from financing costs associated with our Amended ABL Facility (as defined herein) remainactivities. The Company elected to apply this provision using the retrospective transition method and reclassified $1.5 million of excess tax benefits from financing activities to operating activities on the statement of cash flows for the fiscal six months ended April 30, 2017. Additionally, the standard requires cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes to be classified in other assetsthe statement of cash flows as a financing activity. Payments for shares withheld for tax withholding purposes of $4.6 million and $2.4 million are classified on the consolidated balance sheets.statements of cash flows for the six months ended April 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize 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. During 2016, the FASB also issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net); ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU 2016-11, Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting; and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (collectively, the “new revenue standard”), all of which were issued to improve and clarify the guidance in ASU 2014-09. These ASUs are effective for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year, and will be adopted using either a full or modified retrospective approach. WeTo adopt the new revenue standard, we anticipate applying the modified retrospective approach, pursuant to which we will record an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit as of October 29, 2018 (the first day of our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019) for the impact of applying the new revenue standard to all contracts existing as of the date of application. For each revenue contract type, we are currently assessingconducting a contract review process to evaluate the impact, if any, that the new revenue standard may have. At this time, our assessment is not yet complete and therefore we are unable to quantify the potential effects of these changesimpacts to our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015,statements; however, we do anticipate the FASB issues ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory that has historically been measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method should now be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The update requires prospective application and is effective for our fiscal year ending October 28, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be presented on the balance sheet as noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for our fiscal year ending October 28, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Upon adoption, we will present the net deferred tax assets as noncurrent and reclassify any current deferred tax assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet on a retrospective basis.statement disclosures.
 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will require lessees to record most leases on the balance sheet and modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type leases and direct financing leases for lessors. ASU 2016-02 is effective for our fiscal year ending November 1, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The guidance requires entities to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. WeWhile we are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to simplify certain aspectsstatements, we currently believe that most of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax effects when awards vest or settle, repurchase of employees’ shares to satisfy statutory tax withholding obligations, an option to account for forfeitures as they occur, and classification of certain amountsour operating leases will be reflected on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for our fiscal year ending October 28, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.balance sheet upon adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires an entity to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now incorporate forward-looking information based on expected losses to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2021, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial position, result of operations and cash flows.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on eight cash flow classification issues with the objective of reducing differences in practice. We will be required to adopt the amendments in this ASU in annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption is required to be on a retrospective basis, unless impracticable for any of the amendments, in which case a prospective application is permitted. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-15 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory, which eliminates the exception that prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income tax effects for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory until the asset has been sold to an outside party. We will be required to adopt the amendments in this ASU in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The application of the amendments will require the use of a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are evaluating the standard and the impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which clarifies how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. Entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. An entity with a material balance of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. We will be required to adopt this guidance on a retrospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact ASU 2016-18 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This ASU adds guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the new guidance, if a single asset or group of similar identifiable assets comprise substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) in a transaction, the assets and related activities are not a business. Also, a minimum of an input process and a substantive process must be present and significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs in order to be considered a business. We will be required to adopt this guidance on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact ASU 2017-01 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and requires an entity to perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Under this guidance, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. We will be required to adopt the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact ASU 2017-04 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other IncomeGains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the scope of guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition in Accounting Standards Codification 610-20 and the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The new guidance also conforms the derecognition guidance for nonfinancial assets with the model in the new revenue standard (ASU 2014-09). We will be required to adopt this guidance on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019, and the Company is required to apply the amendments at the same time that it applies the amendments in ASU 2014-09. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, CompensationRetirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which amends the requirements related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for employer sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Under the new guidance, an entity must disaggregate and present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line items as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, and only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization. Other components of net periodic benefit cost will be presented separately from the line items that include the service cost. We will be required to adopt this guidance on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities must use a retrospective transition method to adopt the requirement for separate presentation of the income statement service cost and other components, and a prospective transition method to adopt the requirement to limit the capitalization of benefit cost to the service component. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.


In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides clarity on the accounting for modifications of stock-based awards. We will be required to adopt this guidance on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods for our fiscal year ending November 3, 2019 for share-based payment awards modified on or after the adoption date. We are evaluating the impact ASU 2017-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

(1)During the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2015, we entered into transition and separation agreements with certain executive officers. Each terminated executive officer was entitled to severance benefit payments issuable in two installments. The termination benefits were measured initially at the separation dates based on the fair value of the liability as of the termination date and were recognized ratably over the future service period. Costs incurred during fiscal 2016 exclude $0.7 million of amortization expense associated with these termination benefits.
We expect to fully execute our plans in phases over the next 12 months and estimate that we will incur future additional restructuring charges associated with these plans. We are unable at this time to make a good faith determination of cost estimates, or ranges of cost estimates, associated with future phases of these plans.

NOTE 65 — ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
We record assets held for sale at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The following criteria are used to determine if property is held for sale: (i) management has the authority and commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer and the plan to sell the property has been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed at a reasonable sale price relative to its current fair value; and (vi) it is unlikely that the plan to sell will be withdrawn or that significant changes to the plan will be made.
In determining the fair value of the assets less cost to sell, we consider factors including current sales prices for comparable assets in the area, recent market analysis studies, appraisals and any recent legitimate offers. If the estimated fair value less cost to sell of an asset is less than its current carrying value, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. During the three months ended July 30, 2017, we reclassified $1.1 million from property, plant and equipment to assets held for sale for idled facilities in our Metal Components segment that met the held for sale criteria. The total carrying value of assets held for sale (primarily representing idled facilities in our Engineered Building Systems segment) was $6.1$10.1 million and $4.3$5.6 million as of July 30, 2017April 29, 2018 and October 30, 2016,29, 2017, respectively. All of these assets continued to be actively marketed for sale or are under contract as of July 30, 2017.April 29, 2018.
During the ninethree and six months ended July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, we completed the sale of an idle facility in the Engineered Building SystemsMetal Components segment along with related equipment, which had previously been classified in assets held for sale. In connection with the sale of these assets,the facility, we received net cash proceeds of $2.5$0.4 million, and recognized a net loss of $0.1 million,approximately $70 thousand, which is included in (gain) loss on sale of assetsrestructuring and asset recoveryimpairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations.
Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from the estimates used in our historical analysis. Our assumptions about property sales prices require significant judgment because the current market is highly sensitive to changes in economic conditions. We determined the estimated fair values of assets held for sale based on current market conditions and assumptions made by management, which may differ from actual results and may result in impairments if market conditions deteriorate. Certain assets held for sale are valued at fair value and are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets held for sale are reported at fair value, if, on an individual basis, the fair value of the asset is less than cost.carrying value. The fair value of assets held for sale is estimated using Level 3 inputs, such as broker quotes for like-kind assets or other market indications of a potential selling value that approximates fair value. Assets held for sale, reported at fair value, less costs to sell, totaled $0.5$5.0 million as of July 30, 2017.April 29, 2018.
NOTE 76 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Our 2003 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”) is an equity-based compensation plan that allows us to grant a variety of types of awards, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance share units (“PSUs”), phantom stock awards, long-term incentive awards with performance conditions (“Performance Share Awards”) and cash awards. Awards are generally granted once per year, with the amounts and types of awards determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”). As a general rule, option awards terminate on the earlier of (i) 10 years from the date of grant, (ii) 30 days after termination of employment or service for a reason other than death, disability or retirement, (iii) one year after death or (iv) one year for incentive stock options or five years for other awards after disability or retirement. Awards are non-transferable except by disposition on death or to certain family members, trusts and other family entities as the Committee may approve. Awards may be paid in cash, shares of our Common Stock or a combination, in lump sum or installments and currently or by deferred payment, all as determined by the Committee.


As of July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, and for all periods presented, our share-based awards under this plan have consisted of restricted stock grants, PSUs and stock option grants, none of which can be settled through cash payments, and Performance Share Awards. Both our stock options and restricted stock awards are subject only to vesting requirements based on continued employment at the end of a specified time period and typically vest in annual increments over three to four years or earlier upon death, disability or a change of control. However, our annual restricted stock awards issued prior to December 15, 2013 also vest upon attainment of age 65 and, only in the case of certain special one-time restricted stock awards, a portion vest on termination without cause or for good reason, as defined by the agreements governing such awards. Restricted stock awards issued after December 15, 2013 do not vest upon attainment of a specified retirement age, 65, as provided by the agreements governing such awards. The vesting of our Performance Share Awards is described below.
Our time-based restricted stock awards are typically subject to graded vesting over a service period, which is typically three or four years. Our performance-based and market-based restricted stock awards are typically subject to cliff vesting at the end of the service period, which is typically three years. We recognize compensation cost for these awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each annual award grant. In the case of performance-based awards, expense is recognized based upon management’s assessment of the probability that such performance conditions will be achieved. Certain of our awards provide for accelerated vesting upon qualified retirement, after a change of control or upon termination without cause or for good reason. We recognize compensation cost for such awards over the period from grant date to the date the employee first becomes eligible for retirement.
We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, in our first quarter in fiscal 2018. For additional information see Note2 - Accounting Pronouncements.


Stock option awards
During the ninesix month periodsperiod ended JulyApril 30, 2017, and July 31, 2016, we granted 10,424 and 28,535 stock options, respectively.options. The grant date fair value of options granted during the ninesix month periodsperiod ended JulyApril 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 was $6.59 and $5.38 per share, respectively. share. We did not grant stock options during the six month period ended April 29, 2018.
There were 0.1 million options with an intrinsic value of $1.1$0.6 million exercised during the ninesix month period ended July 30, 2017.April 29, 2018. Cash received from options exercised was $1.2 million.$1.0 million during the six month period ended April 29, 2018.
Restricted stock and performance awards
Long-term incentive awards granted to our senior executives generally have a three-year performance period. Long-term incentive awards include restricted stock units and PSUs representing 40% and 60% of the total value, respectively. The restricted stock units vest upon continued employment. Vesting of the PSUs is contingent upon continued employment and the achievement of targets with respect to the following metrics, as defined by management: (1) cumulative free cash flow (weighted 40%); (2) cumulative earnings per share (weighted 40%); and (3) total shareholder return (weighted 20%), in each case during the performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of actual shares to be awarded varies between 0% and 200% of target amounts. The PSUs vest pro rata if an executive’s employment terminates prior to the end of the performance period due to death, disability, or termination by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason. If an executive’s employment terminates for any other reason prior to the end of the performance period, all outstanding unvested PSUs, whether earned or unearned, will be forfeited and cancelled. If a change of control occurs prior to the end of the performance period, the PSU payout will be calculated and paid assuming that the maximum benefit had been achieved. If an executive’s employment terminates due to death or disability while any of the restricted stock is unvested, then all of the unvested restricted stock will become vested. If an executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or after reaching normal retirement age, the unvested restricted stock will be forfeited. If a change of control occurs prior to the end of the performance period, the restricted stock will fully vest. The fair value of the awards is based on the Company’s stock price as of the date of grant. During the ninesix month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017, and July 31, 2016, we granted PSUs with a total fair value of approximately $4.6$4.5 million and $5.2$4.6 million, respectively, to the Company’s senior executives.
Performance Share AwardsLong-term incentive awards granted to our key employees generally have a three-year performance period. Long-term incentive awards are paidgranted 50% in cashrestricted stock units and 50% in stock.PSUs. Vesting of Performance Share AwardsPSUs is contingent upon continued employment and the achievement of free cash flow and earnings per share targets, as defined by management, over a three-year performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of actual shares to be awarded varies between 0% and 150% of target amounts. However, a minimum of 50% of the awards will vest upon continued employment over the three-year period if the minimum targets are not met. The Performance Share AwardsPSUs vest earlier upon death, disability or a change of control. A portion of the awards also vests upon termination without cause or after reaching normal retirement age prior to the vesting date, as defined by the agreements governing such awards. The fair value of Performance Share AwardsPSUs is based on the Company’s stock price as of the date of grant. During the ninesix month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017, and July 31, 2016, we granted awards to key employees with equity fair values of $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and $2.4 million andduring the six month period ended April 30, 2017 we granted awards to key employees with cash values of $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively.million. We did not grant awards with cash value to key employees during the six month period ended April 29, 2018.
On December 15, 2016,2017, the performance period ended for certain PSUs granted to senior executives in December 2014 and the Performance Share Awards granted to key employees in December 2013.2014. The PSUs vested at 149.3%69.4%, and resulted in the issuance of 0.1 million shares, net of shares withheld for taxes. The Performance Share Awards vested at 50.0%, and resulted in the issuance of less than 0.1 million shares, net of shares withheld for taxes.


For the restricted stock units granted in December 2016 and 2015 to our senior executives, one-third vests annually. The restricted stock units granted in December 2014 to our senior executives vested two-thirds on December 15, 2016 and the remaining one-third vests on December 15, 2017. The PSUs granted in December 2016 and 2015 to our senior executives cliff vest at the end of the respective three-year performance period. The PSUs granted in December 2014 to our senior executives vested one-half on December 15, 2016 and the remaining one-half vests on December 15, 2017. During the ninesix month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017, and July 31, 2016, we granted time-based restricted stock units with a fair value of $4.5$6.8 million, representing 0.3 million shares, and $4.2$4.0 million, representing 0.3 million shares, respectively.
During the ninesix month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017, and July 31, 2016, we recorded share-based compensation expense for all awards of $8.1$7.9 million and $7.7$5.9 million, respectively. Included in the share-based compensation expense during the six month period ended April 29, 2018 were accelerated awards of $3.6 million due to the retirement of the Company’s former CEO.
Deferred Compensation
In accordance with the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, amounts deferred into the Company Stock Fund must remain invested in the Company Stock Fund until distribution. The deferred compensation obligation related to the Company’s stock may only be settled by the delivery of a fixed number of the Company’s common shares held on the participant’s behalf. As a result, we have a deferred compensation obligation of $1.2 million related to the Company Stock Fund that is recorded within equity in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet as of July 30, 2017.April 29, 2018. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the deferred compensation obligation classified within equity are not recognized. Additionally, the Company currently holds 164,663109,689 shares in treasury shares, relating to deferred, vested PSU awards, until participants are eligible to receive benefits under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan.


NOTE 87 — EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share, if applicable, considers the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

(1)Represents securities not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
We calculate earnings (loss) per share using the “two-class” method, whereby unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are “participating securities” and, therefore, these participating securities are treated as a separate class in computing earnings (loss) per share. The calculation of earnings per share presented here excludes the income attributable to unvested restricted stock units related to our Incentive Plan from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those shares from the denominator. Awards subject to the achievement of performance conditions or market conditions


for which such conditions had been met at the end of any of the fiscal periods presented are included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share if their effect was dilutive.
NOTE 98 — WARRANTY
We sell weathertightness warranties to our customers for protection from leaks in our roofing systems related to weather. These warranties generally range from 2 years to 20 years. We sell two types of warranties, standard and Single Source™, and three grades of coverage for each. The type and grade of coverage determines the price to the customer. For standard warranties, our responsibility for leaks in a roofing system begins after 24 consecutive leak-free months. For Single Source™ warranties, the roofing system must pass our inspection before warranty coverage will be issued. Inspections are typically performed at three stages of the roofing project: (i) at the project start-up; (ii) at the project mid-point; and (iii) at the project completion. These inspections are included in the cost of the warranty. If the project requires or the customer requests additional inspections, those inspections are billed to the customer. Upon the sale of a warranty, we record the resulting revenue as deferred revenue, which is included in other accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets.


The following table represents the rollforward of our accrued warranty obligation and deferred warranty revenue activity for the fiscal ninesix months ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 (in thousands):

NOTE 109 — DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
RCC Pension Plan — With the acquisition of Robertson-Ceco II Corporation (“RCC”) on April 7, 2006, we assumed a defined benefit plan (the “RCC Pension Plan”). Benefits under the RCC Pension Plan are primarily based on years of service and the employee’s compensation. The RCC Pension Plan is frozen and, therefore, employees do not accrue additional service benefits. Plan assets of the RCC Pension Plan are invested in broadly diversified portfolios of government obligations, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, fixed income securities and master limited partnerships.
CENTRIA Benefit Plans — As a result of the CENTRIA Acquisition on January 16, 2015, we assumed noncontributory defined benefit plans covering certain hourly employees (the “CENTRIA Benefit Plans”) and are closed to new participants. Benefits under the CENTRIA Benefit Plans are calculated based on fixed amounts for each year of service rendered, although benefits accruals for one of the plans previously ceased. Plan assets of the CENTRIA Benefit Plans are invested in broadly diversified portfolios of domestic and international equity mutual funds, bonds, mortgages and other funds. CENTRIA also sponsors postretirement medical and life insurance plans that cover certain of its employees and their spouses (the “OPEB Plans”).
In addition to the CENTRIA Benefit Plans, CENTRIA contributes to a multi-employer plan, Steelworkers Pension Trust. The minimum required annual contribution to this plan is $0.3 million. The current contract expires on June 1, 2019. If we were to withdraw our participation from this multi-employer plan, CENTRIA may be required to pay a withdrawal liability representing an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan. The plan is not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
We refer to the RCC Pension Plan and the CENTRIA Benefit Plans collectively as the “Defined Benefit Plans” in this Note.

We expect to contribute an additional $0.6$1.6 million to the Defined Benefit Plans for the remainder of fiscal 2017.2018. Our policy is to fund the CENTRIA Benefit Plans as required by minimum funding standards of the Internal Revenue Code. The contributions to the OPEB Plans by retirees vary from none to 25% of the total premiums paid.

The $415.0 million (“Term Loan amortizesCredit Facility”). Proceeds from borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility were used, together with cash on hand, (i) to refinance the existing term loan credit agreement, (ii) to redeem and repay the Notes and (iii) to pay any fees, premiums and expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing.
The term loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement will mature on February 7, 2025 and, prior to such date, will amortize in nominal quarterly installments equal to one percent of the aggregate initial principal amount thereof per annum.
On May 2, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to its existing Credit Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2012, between NCI Building Systems, Inc., as borrower, and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent and the other financial institutions party thereto from time to time (as previously amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of June 24, 2013, the “Existing Term Loan Facility” and, as amended, the “Term Loan Facility”), primarily to extend the maturity date and reduce the interest rate applicable to all of the outstandingThe term loans under the Term Loan Facility.Credit Agreement may be prepaid at the Company’s option at any time, subject to minimum principal amount requirements. Prepayments in connection with a repricing transaction (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) during the first six months after the closing of the Term Loan Credit Facility will be subject to a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the principal amount of the term loans being prepaid. Prepayments may otherwise be made without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs). The Company will also have the ability to repurchase a portion of the term loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
PriorSubject to certain exceptions, the term loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement will be subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to:


the net cash proceeds of (1) certain asset sales (subject to reduction to 50% or 0%, if specified leverage ratio targets are met), (2) certain debt offerings, and (3) certain insurance recovery and condemnation events; and
50% of annual excess cash flow (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement), subject to reduction to 0% if specified leverage ratio targets are met.
The obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each direct and indirect U.S. restricted subsidiary of the Company, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, and are secured by:
a perfected security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each guarantor (other than ABL Priority Collateral (as defined below)), including the capital stock of each direct material domestic subsidiary owned by the Company and each guarantor, and 65% of the capital stock of any non-U.S. subsidiary held directly by the Company or any guarantor, subject to customary exceptions (the “Term Loan Priority Collateral”), which security interest will be senior to the Amendment, approximately $144.1 million ofsecurity interest in the foregoing assets securing the ABL Credit Facility (as defined below); and
a perfected security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, which security interest will be junior to the security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Credit Facility.
At the Company’s election, the interest rates applicable to the term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) were outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the Amendment, certain lenders under the Existing Term Loan Facility extended their Existing Term Loans, in an aggregate amount, along with new term loans advanced by certain new lendersCredit Agreement will be based on a fluctuating rate of approximately $144.1 million (the “New Term Loans”). The proceeds of the New Term Loans advanced by the new lenders were used to prepay in full all of the Existing Term Loans that were not extended as New Term Loans. Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity date of the New Term Loans was extended to June 24, 2022.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the New Term Loans bear interest at a floating rate measured by reference to at the Company’s option, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR plus a borrowing margin of 2.00% per annum or (ii) an alternative base rate not less than 1.00% plus a borrowing margin of 3.00% per annum or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin of 2.00%1.00% per annum.

The New Term Loans are securedABL Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) which allows aggregate maximum borrowings by the same collateral and guaranteed by the same guarantors as the Existing Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Facility. Voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty, subject to a 1.00% premium payable in connection with certain repricing transactions within the first six months. The Amendment also includes certain other changes to the Term Loan Facility.
During the nine month periods ended July 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, the Company made voluntary prepayments of $10.2 million and $30.0 million, respectively, on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan. As a result of the voluntary prepayments made during the prior two fiscal periods, which were applied to the one percent per annum amortization, we are not required to make any quarterly installment payments until June 24, 2019.

Fair Value Measurements 
ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires us to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows: 
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. 
Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs. 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. 
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of July 30, 2017April 29, 2018 and October 30, 2016.29, 2017. 
Money market: Money market funds have original maturities of three months or less. The original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. 
Mutual funds: Mutual funds are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the mutual fund is traded. 
Assets held for sale: Assets held for sale are valued based on current market conditions, prices of similar assets in similar condition and expected proceeds from the sale of the assets, representative of Level 3 inputs.
Deferred compensation plan liability: Deferred compensation plan liability is comprised of phantom investments in the deferred compensation plan and is valued at the closing price reported in the active markets in which the money market and mutual funds are traded. 


The following tables summarize information regarding our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 30, 2017April 29, 2018 and October 30, 2016,29, 2017, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands):

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 30, 2017 was 34.6%, compared to 32.3% for the same period in the prior year. The changeincrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driventhe result of the net loss for the six months ended April 29, 2018 and the net impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”) which was enacted by the United States on December 22, 2017. U.S. Tax Reform incorporates significant changes to U.S. corporate income tax laws including, among other things, a reduction in the federal statutory corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, an adjustmentexemption for dividends received from certain foreign subsidiaries, a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings from foreign subsidiaries, immediate expensing of certain depreciable tangible assets, limitations on the deduction for net interest expense and certain executive compensation and the repeal of the Domestic Production Activities Deduction. The majority of these changes will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 29, 2018. However, the corporate income tax rate reduction is effective December 22, 2017. As such, the Company’s statutory federal corporate income tax rate for the fiscal year ending October 28, 2018 will be 23.3%. In addition, the one-time repatriation tax will be recognized by the Company for the tax year ending October 28, 2018.
Under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), a company is generally required to recognize the effect of changes in tax laws in its financial statements in the period in which the legislation is enacted. U.S. income tax laws are deemed to be effective on the date the president signs tax legislation. The President signed the U.S. Tax Reform legislation on December 22, 2017. As such, the Company is required to recognize the related impacts to the financial statements in the quarter ended January 28, 2018. In acknowledgment of the substantial changes incorporated in the U.S. Tax Reform, in conjunction with the timing of the enactment being just weeks before the majority of the provisions became effective, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 to provide certain guidance in determining the accounting for income tax effects of the legislation in the accounting period of enactment as well as provide a measurement period within which to finalize and reflect such final effects associated with U.S. Tax Reform. Further, SAB 118 summarizes a three-step approach to be applied each reporting period within the overall measurement period: (1) amounts should be reflected in the period including the date of enactment for those items which are deemed to be complete, (2) to the extent the effects of certain changes due to U.S. Tax Reform for which the accounting is not deemed complete but for which a reasonable estimate can be determined, such provisional amount(s) should be reflected in the period so determined and adjusted in subsequent periods as such effects are finalized and (3) to the extent a reasonable estimate cannot be determined for a specific effect of the tax law change associated with U.S. Tax Reform, no provisional amount should be recorded but rather, continue to apply ASC 740 based upon the tax law in effect prior to the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform. Such measurement period is deemed to end when all necessary information has been obtained, prepared and analyzed such that a final accounting determination can be concluded, but in no event should the period extend beyond one year.
In consideration of this guidance, the Company obtained, prepared and analyzed various information associated with the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform. Based upon this review, the Company recognized a discrete estimated net income tax benefit with respect to U.S. Tax Reform for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 of $0.3 million. This net income tax benefit reflects a $1.0 million net estimated income tax benefit associated with the remeasurement of the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax liability, partiality offset with a $0.7 million estimated income tax expense associated with the impact of the deemed repatriated earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, including the one-time repatriation tax of $2.1 million. Due to the Company’s fiscal year-end of October 28, 2018 and the timing of the various technical provisions provided for under U.S. Tax Reform, the financial statement impacts recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 related2018 relating to U.S. Tax Reform are not deemed to be complete but rather are deemed to be reasonable, provisional estimates based upon the current available information. As such, the Company will update and finalize the accounting for the tax effect of the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform in future quarters in accordance with the guidance as outlined


in SAB 118, as deemed necessary. The Company did not make any material updates to the research and development credit forprovisional estimates during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 that was permanently extended in the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 and was signed into law in fiscal year 2016 as well as the nontaxable gain on bargain purchase from the Hamilton acquisition. There were no corresponding items in the nine months ended July 30, 2017.2018.
NOTE 1615 — OPERATING SEGMENTS 
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities and by which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about how to allocate resources to the segment and assess the performance of the segment. On February 22, 2018, the Company announced changes to NCI’s reportable business segments, effective January 28, 2018 for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, to align with changes in how the Company manages its business, reviews operating performance and allocates resources. We have threerevised our segment reporting to represent how we now manage our business, restating prior periods to conform to the current segment presentation.
We have four operating segments: Engineered Building Systems; Metal Components; Insulated Metal Panels; and Metal Coil Coating. All operating segments operate primarily in the nonresidential construction market. Sales and earnings are influenced by general economic conditions, the level of nonresidential


construction activity, metal roof repair and retrofit demand and the availability and terms of financing available for construction. Products of our operating segments use similar basic raw materials.materials enabling us to leverage our supply chain. The Metal Coil coatingCoating segment consists of cleaning, treating, painting and slitting continuous steel coils before the steel is fabricated for use by construction and industrial users. The Metal Components segment products include metal roof and wall panels, doors, metal partitions, metal trim, insulated panels and other related accessories. The Insulated Metal Panels segment produces panels consisting of rigid foam encased between two sheets of coated metal in a variety of modules, lengths and reveal combinations which are used in architectural, commercial, industrial and cold storage market applications. The Engineered Building Systems segment includes the manufacturing of mainmanufactures custom designed and engineered products such as structural frames, Long Bay® Systems, metal roofing and wall systems, and the related value-added engineering and drafting, which are typically not part of Metal Components or Metal Coil coating products or services.to provide customers a complete building envelope solution. The operating segments follow the same accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements. 
We evaluate a segment’s performance based primarily upon operating income before corporate expenses. Intersegment sales are recorded based on standard material costs plus a standard markup to cover labor and overhead and consist of (i) hot-rolled, light gauge painted and slit material and other services provided by the Metal Coil Coating segment to both the Engineered Building Systems, Metal Components and Engineered Building SystemsInsulated Metal Panels segments; (ii) building components provided by the Metal Components and Insulated Metal Panels segment to the Engineered Building Systems segment; and (iii) structural framing provided by the Engineered Building Systems segment to the Metal Components segment. 
Corporate assets consist primarily of cash, but also include deferred taxes and property, plant and equipment associated with our headquarters in Houston, Texas. These items (and income and expenses related to these items) are not allocated to the operating segments. Corporate unallocated expenses include share-based compensation expenses, and executive, legal, finance, tax, treasury, human resources, information technology, purchasing, marketingstrategic sourcing, and corporate travel expenses. Additional unallocated amounts primarily include interest income, interest expense and other (expense) income.

NOTE 1716 — CONTINGENCIES 
As a manufacturer of products primarily for use in nonresidential building construction, the Company is inherently exposed to various types of contingent claims, both asserted and unasserted, in the ordinary course of business. As a result, from time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries become involved in various legal proceedings or other contingent matters arising from claims, or potential claims. The Company insures against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by its management and to the extent insurance is available. Many of these insurance policies contain deductibles or self-insured retentions in amounts the Company deems prudent and for which the Company is responsible for payment. In determining the amount of self-insurance, it is the Company’s policy to self-insure those losses that are predictable, measurable and recurring in nature, such as claims for automobile liability and general liability. The Company regularly reviews the status of ongoing proceedings and other contingent matters along with legal counsel. Liabilities for such items are recorded when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and when the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities are adjusted when additional information becomes available. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the


Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance.

OVERVIEW 
NCI Building Systems, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company,” “NCI,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is one of North America’s largest integrated manufacturers and marketers of metal products for the nonresidential construction industry. We design, engineer, manufacture and market Engineered Building Systems, and Metal Components and Insulated Metal Panels primarily for nonresidential construction use. We manufacture and distribute extensive lines of metal products for the nonresidential construction market under multiple brand names through a nationwide network of plants and distribution centers. We sell our products for both new construction and repair and retrofit applications. We also provide Metal Coil Coating services for commercial and construction applications, servicing both internal and external customers. 
Engineered Building Systems offer a number of advantages over traditional construction alternatives, including shorter construction time, more efficient use of materials, lower construction costs, greater ease of expansion and lower maintenance costs. Similarly, Metal Components and Insulated Metal Panels offer builders, designers, architects and end-users several advantages, including lower long-term costs, longer life, attractive aesthetics and design flexibility.  
We use a 52/53 week year with our fiscal year end on the Sunday closest to October 31. In fiscal 2017,2018, our year end will be October 29, 2017.28, 2018. 
We assess performance across our operating segments by analyzing and evaluating, among other indicators, gross profit and operating income, as well as whether each segment has achieved its projected sales goals. In assessing our overall financial performance, we regard return on adjusted operating assets, as well as growth in earnings, as key indicators of shareholder value. 
Change in Operating Segments
On February 22, 2018, the Company announced changes to NCI’s reportable business segments, effective January 28, 2018 for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, to align with changes in how the Company manages its business, reviews operating performance and allocates resources.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company began reporting results under four reportable segments, which are Engineered Building Systems, Metal Components, Insulated Metal Panels and Metal Coil Coating. Previously, operating results for the Insulated Metal Panel product line were included in the Metal Components segment. In addition, CENTRIA’s coil coating operations, which had been included in the Metal Components segment since the Company’s acquisition of CENTRIA in January 2015, are now reported within the Metal Coil Coating segment. Prior periods have been restated to conform to the current segment presentation.
ThirdSecond Fiscal Quarter  
During the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017,2018, the Company has continued to realize the benefits of focused and integrated execution across our focus on commercial manufacturing, and supply chain activities, and our investments to improve our manufacturing productivity and overall cost efficiency. We are also maintaining commercial pricing discipline in an environmentthe pass-through of volatile steel prices. We remain focused on growingmaterial costs and integrating insulated metal panel products (“IMP”) into our building and components businesses, which had a favorable impact on our operating results for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Company’s ongoing cost reduction initiatives.
Overall, year-over-year comparisons in most of our financial metrics reflect the abnormal seasonal patternpass-through of higher material input costs, as well as operational improvements over the previous three years to better leverage our fixed cost structure. We achieved year-over-year growth in 2016, where the third quarter financial performance was stronger than the fourth quarter. The third quarter of 2016 benefited from the pull forward of work, particularly in the legacy Components segmentboth consolidated sales and a declining steel price environment.gross profit.


Consolidated revenues increased by approximately 2%9% from the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by continued commercial discipline in the pass-through of higher costs in a rising steel pricecost environment predominantly in the BuildingsEngineered Building Systems, Metal Components, and Insulated Metal Panels segments, and underlying volume growth in the Metal Components segments, despite lower tonnage volumes.and Insulated Metal Panels segments.
The Company’s gross margin in the current period was 24.5%22.8% as compared to 27.7%24.0% in the thirdsecond quarter of 2016. Lower2017. The lower margins in the current period were primarily driven primarily by lower tonnage volumes in our components and metal coaters segment, leading to lower manufacturing cost leverage, offset byless favorable product mix particularly in IMP products.the Insulated Metal Panels segment and increased manufacturing costs in the Metal Coil Coating segment in preparation for higher activity levels. Engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased by 110160 basis points to 16.3% of sales compared to the same period last year, as we continue to execute on our strategic initiatives and restructuring activities.


We believe we have established a business platform that should enable us to continue to outperform the nonresidential construction market and to achieve above market growth in fiscal 2017. Our objective is to continue to execute on our strategic initiatives in order to increase market penetration and deliver growth above nonresidential market growth during fiscal 2017 in our legacy businesses and also in IMP through our multiple sales channels. We expect to have a stronger second half than the first half in fiscal 2017, which is in line with the normal seasonality of our business.
Industry Conditions 
Our sales and earnings are subject to both seasonal and cyclical trends and are influenced by general economic conditions, interest rates, the price of steel relative to other building materials, the level of nonresidential construction activity, roof repair and retrofit demand and the availability and cost of financing for construction projects. Our sales are normally lower in the first half of each fiscal year compared to the second half because of unfavorable weather conditions for construction and typical business planning cycles affecting construction. 
The nonresidential construction industry is highly sensitive to national and regional macroeconomic conditions. Following a significant downturn in 2008 and 2009, the current recovery of low-rise construction has been uneven and slow but is now showing some signs of steady growth. The annual volume of new construction starts remains below previous cyclical average trough levels of activity from the last 50 years. However, we believe that the economy is recovering and that the nonresidential construction industry will return to mid-cycle levels of activity over the next several years. The graph below shows the annual nonresidential new construction starts, measured in square feet, since 1968, as compiled and reported by Dodge Data & Analytics:
dodgeq32017a02.jpgdodge2018q2.jpg
Current market data continues to show uneven activity across the nonresidential construction markets. According to Dodge Data & Analytics, low-rise nonresidential new construction starts, as measured in square feet and comprising buildings of up to five stories, were up approximately 2%1% during fiscal 20162017 as compared to fiscal 2015.2016. Even though this measure tends to be revised upward in succeeding periods, we believe the underlying growth we are achieving is outpacing market activity. Leading indicators for low-rise, nonresidential construction activity indicate continued positive momentum in fiscal 2017.2018.
The leading indicators that we follow and that typically have the most meaningful correlation to nonresidential low-rise construction starts are the American Institute of Architects’ (“AIA”) Architecture Mixed Use Index, Dodge Residential single family starts and the Conference Board Leading Economic Index (“LEI”). Historically, there has been a very high correlation to the Dodge low-rise nonresidential starts when the three leading indicators are combined and then seasonally adjusted. The combined forward projection of these metrics, based on a 99- to 14-month historical lag for each metric, indicates low single-digit growth for low-rise new construction starts in fiscal 2017.2018.


We normally do not maintain an inventory of steel in excess of our current production requirements. However, from time to time, we may purchase steel in advance of announced steel price increases. We can give no assurance that steel will be readily available or that prices will not continue to be volatile. While most of our sales contracts have escalation clauses that allow us, under certain circumstances, to pass along all or a portion of increases in the price of steel after the date of the contract but prior to delivery, for competitive or other reasons, we may not be able to pass such price increases along. If the available supply of steel declines, we could experience price increases that we are not able to pass on to the end users, a deterioration of service from our suppliers or interruptions or delays that may cause us not to meet delivery schedules to our customers. Any of these problems could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. For additional discussion, see “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Steel Prices.”
Restructuring
We continue to execute on our plans to improve cost efficiency through the optimization of our combined manufacturing plant footprint and the elimination of certain fixed and indirect ESG&A costs. During the three months ended July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, we incurred charges of $1.0$0.5 million, associated with restructuring actions, including $0.9$0.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million associated with ourin the Engineered Building Systems andsegment, Metal Components segments,segment and Insulated Metal Panels segment, respectively.
The Company believes that the successful execution of these plans in phases over the next 21 months will result in annual cost savings ranging between $30.0 million and $40.0 million when completed, of which between approximately $18.0 million and $28.0 million represents the aggregate expected incremental cost savings to be realized in fiscal years 2017 and 2018. We are currently unable to make a good faith determination of cost estimates, or range of cost estimates, for actions associated with the plans. Restructuring charges will be recorded for the plans as they become estimable and probable. See Note 43 — Restructuring and Asset Impairments in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities and by which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about how to allocate resources to the segment and assess the performance of the segment. We have threefour operating segments: (i) Engineered Building Systems; (ii) Metal Components; (iii) Insulated Metal Panels; and (iii)(iv) Metal Coil Coating. All operating segments operate primarily in the nonresidential construction market. Sales and earnings are influenced by general economic conditions, the level of nonresidential construction activity, metal roof repair and retrofit demand and the availability and terms of financing available for construction. Our operating segments are vertically integrated and benefit from similar basic raw materials. The Metal Coil coating segment consists of cleaning, treating, painting and slitting continuous steel coils before the steel is fabricated for use by construction and industrial users. The Metal Components segment products include metal roof and wall panels, doors, metal partitions, metal trim, insulated panels and other related accessories. The Insulated Metal Panels segment produces panels consisting of rigid foam encased between two sheets of coated metal in a variety of modules, lengths and reveal combinations which are used in architectural, commercial, industrial and cold storage market applications. The Engineered Building Systems segment includesmanufactures custom designed and engineered products such as structural frames, Long Bay® Systems, metal roofing and wall systems, and the manufacturing of main frames, Long-Bay® Systems andrelated value-added engineering and drafting, which are typically not part of Metal Components or Metal Coil Coating products or services. The manufacturing and distribution activities of our segments are effectively coupled through the use of our nationwide hub-and-spoke manufacturing and distribution system, which supports and enhances our vertical integration.to provide customers a complete building envelope solution. The operating segments follow the same accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate a segment’s performance based primarily upon operating income before corporate expenses. Intersegment sales are recorded based on standard material costs plus a standard markup to cover labor and overhead and consist of: (i) structural framing provided by the Engineered Building Systems segment to the Metal Components segment; (ii) building components provided by the Metal Components segmentand Insulated Metal Panels segments to the Engineered Building Systems segment; and (iii) hot-rolled, light gauge painted, and slit material and other services provided by the Metal Coil Coating segment to both the Engineered Building Systems, Metal Components and Engineered Building Systems segments.Insulated Metal Panels. 
Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and investments, but also include deferred taxes and property, plant and equipment associated with our headquarters in Houston, Texas. These items (and income and expenses related to these items) are not allocated to the operating segments. Corporate unallocated expenses include share-based compensation expenses, and executive, legal, finance, tax, treasury, human resources, information technology, purchasing, marketing and corporate travel expenses. Additional unallocated amounts primarily include interest income, interest expense and other (expense) income. See Note 1615 — Operating Segments in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information on our segments. 


We have revised our segment reporting to represent how we now manage our business, restating prior periods to conform to the current segment presentation.

Operating Activities 
Our business is both seasonal and cyclical and cash flows from operating activities may fluctuate during the year and from year-to-year due to economic conditions. We rely on cash and short-term borrowings, when needed, to meet cyclical and seasonal increases in working capital needs. These needs generally rise during periods of increased economic activity or increasing raw material prices due to higher levels of inventory and accounts receivable. During economic slowdowns, or periods of decreasing raw material costs, working capital needs generally decrease as a result of the reduction of inventories and accounts receivable.  
Net cash used inprovided by operating activities was $0.9$40.0 million during the ninesix months ended July 30, 2017April 29, 2018 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $40.6$7.9 million in the ninesix months ended July 31, 2016.April 30, 2017. The decrease in theimproved cash flow from operations is due to current period was primarily due to significant investmentoperations and normal seasonal trends in working capital by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, and timing of working capital turns in the third quarterfirst half of fiscal 2017.2018.

The decrease in our accounts receivable balance from the prior period was primarily the result of timing of collections toward the end of the current period.
For the ninesix months ended July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, the change in cash flows relating to inventory was $0.6$24.9 million and resulted partiallyprimarily from higher inventory purchases to support higher sales, and also due to purchasesthe continued increase in advance of steel price increases.material costs, particularly steel.

Debt
On February 8, 2018, the Company entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement, the proceeds of which, together, were used to redeem the 8.25% senior notes and to refinance the Company’s existing term loan credit facility and the Company’s existing asset-based revolving credit facility.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate principal amount of $415.0 million (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”). Proceeds from borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility were used, together with cash on hand, (i) to refinance the existing term loan credit agreement, (ii) to redeem and repay the Notes (the foregoing, collectively, the “Refinancing”) and (iii) to pay any fees, premiums and expenses incurred in connection with the Refinancing.
The ABL Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility which allows aggregate maximum borrowings by the ABL Borrowers of up to $150.0 million (the “ABL Credit Facility”). As set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement, extensions of credit under the ABL Credit Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated periodically based on specified percentages of the value of eligible accounts receivable, eligible credit card receivables and eligible inventory, less certain reserves and certain adjustments. Availability will be reduced by issuance of letters of credit as well as any borrowings.
As of July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, we had an aggregate principal amount of $394.1$415.0 million of outstanding indebtedness, comprising $144.1$415.0 million of borrowings under our Term Loan Credit Agreement and $250.0 million in aggregate principal amountFacility. We had no of 8.25% senior notes due 2023.revolving loans outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility. Our excess availability under the Amended ABL Credit Facility was $139.9$141.1 million as of July 30, 2017.April 29, 2018. In addition, standby letters of credit related to certain insurance policies totaling approximately $10.0$8.9 million were outstanding but undrawn under the Amended ABL Facility. At July 30, 2017, we had no revolving loans outstanding under the Amended ABLCredit Facility.
On May 2, 2017,For additional information, see Note 10 — Long-Term Debt and Note Payable in the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to its existing Credit Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2012, between NCI Building Systems, Inc., as borrower, and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent and the other financial institutions party thereto from time to time (as previously amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of June 24, 2013, the “Existing Term Loan Facility” and, as amended, the “Term Loan Facility”)), primarily to extend the maturity date and reduce the interest rate applicable to all of the outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility.
Priornotes to the Amendment, approximately $144.1 million of term loans (the “Existing Term Loans”) were outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the Amendment, certain lenders under the Existing Term Loan Facility extended their Existing Term Loans, in an aggregate amount, along with new term loans advanced by certain new lenders of approximately $144.1 million (the “New Term Loans”). The proceeds of the New Term Loans advanced by the new lenders were used to prepay in full all of the Existing Term Loans that were not extended as New Term Loans. Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity date of the New Term Loans was extended to June 24, 2022.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the New Term Loans bear interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at the Company’s option, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR not less than 1.00% plus a borrowing margin of 3.00% per annum or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin of 2.00% per annum.
The New Term Loans are secured by the same collateral and guaranteed by the same guarantors as the Existing Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Facility. Voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty, subject to a 1.00% premium payable in connection with certain repricing transactions within the first six months. The Amendment also includes certain other changes to the Term Loan Facility.


During the nine month periods ended July 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016, the Company made voluntary prepayments of $10.2 million and $30.0 million, respectively, on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan. NCI is not restricted from making any further prepayments; however, for the six month period following the effective date of the New Term Loans, or prior to November 2, 2017, NCI would incur a 1% prepayment penalty for any voluntary prepayments. We are not required to make any quarterly installment payments until June 24, 2019.unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Equity Investment
On August 14, 2009, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (as amended, the “Investment Agreement”), by and between the Company and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VIII, L.P. (“CD&R Fund VIII”). In connection with the Investment Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement dated October 20, 2009 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), the CD&R Fund VIII and the Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Friends & Family Fund VIII, L.P. (collectively, the “CD&R Funds”) purchased convertible preferred stock, which was converted into shares of our Common Stock on May 14, 2013. Among other provisions, the Stockholders Agreement entitles the CD&R Funds to certain nomination or designation rights with respect to our board of directors; subscription rights with respect to future issuances of common stock by us; corporate governance rights; and consent rights with respect to certain types of transactions we may enter into in the future.
On December 11, 2017, the CD&R Funds completed a registered underwritten offering of 7,150,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price to the public of $19.36 per share (the “2017 Secondary Offering”). Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, at the CD&R Funds request, the Company purchased 1.15 million of the 7.15 million shares of the Common Stock from the underwriters in the 2017 Secondary Offering at a price per share equal to the price at which the underwriters purchased the shares from the CD&R Funds. The total amount the Company spent on these repurchases was $22.3 million.
At July 30, 2017April 29, 2018 and October 30, 2016,29, 2017, the CD&R Funds owned approximately 42.4%34.5% and 42.3%43.8%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
Cash Flow 
We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability of resources in view of inventory levels, expansion plans, debt service requirements and other operating cash needs. To meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including payment of operating expenses and repayingrepayment of debt, we rely primarily on cash from operations. Beyond cash generated from operations, $141.1 million is available with our Amended ABL Credit Facility is undrawn with $139.9 million available at July 30, 2017April 29, 2018 and we have a cash balance of $45.9$35.3 million as of July 30, 2017.April 29, 2018.


We expect to contribute $0.6$1.6 million to our defined benefit plans during the remainder of fiscal 2017.2018. 
We expect that for the next 12 months, cash generated from operations and our availability under the Amended ABL Credit Facility will be sufficient to provide us the ability to fund our operations and to provide the increased working capital necessary to support our strategy and fund planned capital expenditures of between approximately $25$45 million and $30$55 million for fiscal 20172018 and expansion when needed.
Our corporate strategy seeks potential acquisitions that would provide additional synergies in our Engineered Building Systems, Metal Components, Insulated Metal Panels and Metal Coil Coating segments. From time to time, we may enter into letters of intent or agreements to acquire assets or companies in these business lines. The consummation of these transactions could require substantial cash payments and/or issuance of additional debt. 
From time to time, we have used available funds to repurchase shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase programs. On September 8, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. On October 10, 2017 and March 7, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized new stock repurchase programs for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $50.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. Under thisthese repurchase program,programs, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares, if at all, at times and in amounts that we deem appropriate in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. Shares repurchased are usually retired. There is no time limit on the duration of the program. At July 30,During the six months ended April 29, 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 2.7 million shares for $46.7 million under the stock repurchase programs, which included 1.15 million shares for $22.3 million purchased pursuant to the CD&R Funds 2017 Secondary Offering. As of April 29, 2018, approximately $39.9$55.6 million remained available for stock repurchases, all under the program.program announced on October 10, 2017 and March 7, 2018. In addition to the common stock repurchased during the ninesix months ended July 30, 2017 under our stock repurchase programs,April 29, 2018, we also withheld shares of restricted stock to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the vesting of awards of restricted stock related to our 2003 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan. 
The Company may repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire the Company’s debt andfrom time to time take other steps to reduce the Company’s debt or otherwise improve the Company’s financial position. These actions could include open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other redemptions or retirements of outstanding debt,prepayments, opportunistic refinancing of debt and raising additional capital. The amount of prepayments or the amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired,refinanced, if any, will depend on market conditions, trading levels of the Company’s debt, the Company’s cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations. Affiliates of the Company may also purchase the Company’s debt from time to time through open market purchases or other transactions. In such cases, the Company’s debt may not be retired, in which case the Company would continue to pay interest in accordance with the terms of the debt, and the Company would continue to reflect the debt as outstanding on its consolidated balance sheets.


NON-GAAP MEASURES 
Set forth below are certain non-GAAP measures which include adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income per diluted common share and adjusted net income applicable to common shares. We define adjusted operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) adjusted for items broadly consisting of selected items which management does not consider representative of our ongoing operations and certain non-cash items of the Company.operations. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for items broadly consisting of selected items which management does not consider representative of our ongoing operations and certain non-cash items of the Company. Such measurements are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative


to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes the use of such non-GAAP measures on a consolidated and operating segment basis assists investors in understanding the ongoing operating performance by presenting the financial results between periods on a more comparable basis. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating these measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in these non-GAAP measures. In addition, certain financial covenants related to our Credit Agreement, Amended ABL Facility,term loan and Notesasset-based lending credit agreements are based on similar non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP information provided is unique to the Company and may not be consistent with the methodologies used by other companies.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, we were not involved in any material unconsolidated SPE transactions. 
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations. These policies require our most subjective judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting policies include those that pertain to revenue recognition, insurance accruals, share-based compensation, income taxes, accounting for acquisitions, intangible assets and goodwill, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, property, plant and equipment valuation and contingencies, which are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 30, 2016.29, 2017. 


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. 
Steel Prices 
We are subject to market risk exposure related to volatility in the price of steel. For the fiscal ninesix months ended July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, material costs (predominantly steel costs) constituted approximately 69%64% of our cost of sales. Our business is heavily dependent on the price and supply of steel. Our various products are fabricated from steel produced by mills to forms including bars, plates, structural shapes, sheets, hot-rolled coils and galvanized or Galvalume® — coated coils (Galvalume® is a registered trademark of BIEC International, Inc.). The steel industry is highly cyclical in nature, and steel prices have been volatile in recent years and may remain volatile in the future. Steel prices are influenced by numerous factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions, domestically and internationally, the availability of raw materials, competition, labor costs, freight and transportation costs, production costs, import duties and other trade restrictions. Based on the cyclical nature of the steel industry, we expect steel prices will continue to be volatile.
Although we have the ability to purchase steel 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. Because we have periodically adjusted our contract prices, particularly in the Engineered Building Systems segment, we have generally been able to pass increases in our raw material costs through to our customers. The graph below shows the monthly CRU Index data for the North American Steel Price Index over a historical eight-year period. The CRU North American Steel Price Index has been published by the CRU Group since 1994 and we believe this index appropriately depicts the volatility we have experienced in steel prices. The index, based on a CRU survey of industry participants, is now commonly used in the settlement of physical and financial contracts in the steel industry. The prices surveyed are purchases for forward delivery, according to lead time, which will vary. For example, the January index would likely approximate our fiscal March steel purchase deliveries based on current lead-times. The volatility in this steel price index is comparable to the volatility we experience in our average cost of steel.
cruindexq32017a02.jpg
We normally do not maintain an inventory of steel in excess of our current production requirements. However, from time to time, we may purchase steel in advance of announced steel price increases. In addition, it is our current practice to purchase all steel inventory that has been ordered but is not in our possession. Therefore, our inventory may increase if demand for our products declines. We can give no assurance that steel will remain available or that prices will not continue to be volatile. 
With material costs (predominantly steel costs) accounting for approximately 69%64% of our cost of sales for the ninesix months ended July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, a one percent change in the cost of steel would have resulted in a pre-tax impact on cost of sales of approximately $6.8$4.4 million for the ninesix months ended July 30, 2017.April 29, 2018. The impact to our financial results of operations of such an increase would


be significantly dependent on the competitive environment and the costs of other alternative building products, which could impact our ability to pass on these higher costs. 

Other Commodity Risks 
In addition to market risk exposure related to the volatility in the price of steel, we are subject to market risk exposure related to volatility in the price of natural gas. As a result, we occasionally enter into both index-priced and fixed-price contracts for the purchase of natural gas. We have evaluated these contracts to determine whether the contracts are derivative instruments. Certain contracts that meet the criteria for characterization as a derivative instrument may be exempted from hedge accounting treatment as normal purchases and normal sales and, therefore, these forward contracts are not marked to market. At July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, all of our contracts for the purchase of natural gas met the scope exemption for normal purchases and normal sales. 
Interest Rates 
We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on our Term Loan Credit AgreementFacility and the Amended ABL Credit Facility. These instruments bear interest at an agreed upon percentage point spread from either the prime interest rate or LIBOR. Under our Term Loan Credit Agreement,Facility, we may, at our option, fix the interest rate for certain borrowings based on a spread over LIBOR for 30 days to 6 months. At July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, we had $144.1$415.0 million outstanding under our Term Loan Credit Agreement.Facility. Based on this balance, an immediate change of one percent in the interest rate would cause a change in interest expense of approximately $1.4$4.2 million on an annual basis. The fair value of our Credit Agreementterm loan credit facility at July 30, 2017April 29, 2018 and October 30, 201629, 2017 was approximately $144.9$415.5 million and $154.1$144.1 million, respectively, compared to a face value of approximately $144.1$415.0 million and $154.1$144.1 million, respectively.
See Note 1110 — Long-Term Debt and Note Payable in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for information on the material terms of our long-term debt. 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates 
We are exposed to the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency denominated operating revenue and expenses. The functional currency for our Mexico operations is the U.S. dollar. Adjustments resulting from the re-measurement of the local currency financial statements into the U.S. dollar functional currency, which uses a combination of current and historical exchange rates, are included in net income in the current period. Net foreign currency re-measurement (loss) gain (loss) was $0.3$(0.1) million and $(0.5)$0.4 million, for the three monththree-month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017, and July 31, 2016, respectively. The netNet foreign currency re-measurement gain (loss) was $0.1 million and $(0.1) million, for the nine monthsix-month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017, and July 31, 2016 was $0.2 million and $(0.7) million, respectively.
The functional currency for our Canada operations is the Canadian dollar. Translation adjustments resulting from translating the functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollar equivalents are reported separately in accumulated other comprehensive


(loss) income in stockholders’ equity. The net foreign currency exchange gain (loss)loss included in net income for the three month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 was $0.7$0.2 million and $(0.4)$0.3 million, respectively. The net foreign currency exchange gain (loss) included in net income for the ninesix month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 was $0.8$0.1 million and $(0.4)$0.1 million, respectively. Net foreign currency translation adjustment, net of tax, and included in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three monththree-month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016 was $0.4$(0.3) million and $(0.2)$(0.1) million, respectively.

We have operations inOn January 29, 2018, we closed on the sale of CENTRIA International LLC, which owned our China manufacturing facility and are therefore no longer exposed to fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Chinese yuan. The functional currency for our China operations iswas the Chinese yuan. The net foreign currency translation adjustment was insignificant for the three and nine monthsix-month periods ended JulyApril 29, 2018 and April 30, 2017 and July 31, 2016.2017. 


Item 4. Controls and Procedures. 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 30, 2017.April 29, 2018. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management believes that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 30, 2017,April 29, 2018, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective because the material weaknesses described in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 30, 2016 continued to exist as of July 30, 2017, as discussed below.effective at such reasonable assurance level. 
Material Weaknesses Previously Disclosed
We disclosed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 30, 2016 that we had identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting relating to (1) the control environment of the CENTRIA subsidiary, which the Company acquired in January 2015, and (2) the design of controls over the allocation of total contract consideration in multiple element revenue arrangements within the Company’s Engineered Building Systems segment. In light of the material weaknesses, management performed additional review and other procedures prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements. These material weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements to our consolidated financial statements in any prior periods or for the three and nine months ended July 30, 2017.
Status of Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses
We are committed to the remediation of the material weaknesses in a timely manner. We have developed a remediation plan that will address the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and we have implemented certain aspects of our plan as of July 30, 2017, including:
Hired a Director of Controls and Compliance, an accounting manager at the CENTRIA subsidiary and made several other personnel changes to bolster the oversight of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
Formalized and modified certain existing critical accounting procedures for the affected areas of internal control over financial reporting
Established interim compensating or mitigating controls programs
Conducted supplemental training regarding the performance of key controls, including the retention of adequate supporting documentation for such controls
Enhanced the corporate finance management review controls that are relied upon to review multiple element revenue arrangements
We plan to continue to implement changes to the design of the controls over the affected processes and to ensure such controls function at an appropriate level as follows:
Implement system enhancements to provide timely and complete information in support of periodic control requirements and to reduce the reliance on manual processes
Provide continued and enhanced oversight until the material weaknesses are remediated
As we continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas affected by the material weaknesses, we continue to perform additional procedures, including the use of manual mitigating control procedures where necessary, and have employed additional resources to provide assurance that our financial statements continue to be fairly stated in all material respects. As we continue to evaluate and improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we may determine that additional measures are necessary to address these control deficiencies or that a modification of certain of the remediation measures described above is appropriate. The identified material weaknesses in internal


controls will not be considered fully addressed until the internal controls over these areas have been in operation for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude that the material weaknesses have been fully remediated.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter ended April 29, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings. 
See Part I, Item 1, “Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements”, Note 1716, which is incorporated herein by reference. 
Item 1A. Risk Factors. 
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 30, 2016.29, 2017. The risks disclosed in our previous Annual Report on Form 10-K and information provided elsewhere in this report, could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known, or we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We are providing the following information regarding changes that have occurred to previously disclosed risk factors from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 30, 2016.29, 2017. Except for such additional information, we believe there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 30, 2016.29, 2017.
Changes in legislation, regulation and government policy as a result of the 2016 U.S. presidential and congressional elections may have a material effectNew tariffs on the Company’s business in the future.
The recent presidential and congressional elections in the United Statessteel imports could result in significant changes in,increased steel prices and uncertainty with respectadversely affect our results of operations
On March 1, 2018, President Trump announced his administration’s intention to legislation, regulationplace a 25% tariff on imports of steel into the United States. Although the parameters and government policy. While it is not possible to predict whether and whentiming of any such changes will occur, changes attariff are not known as of the local, state or federal leveldate of this filing, such a tariff, if enacted, could significantly impact the Company’s business. For example, the Company’s business activity levels are heavily influenced by the U.S. domestic economy and changes in administration policies may result in changes in tax rates and/or prevailing interest rates, which could either stimulate or contract activity levels in the domestic economy. More specifically, the Company has hadboth increased steel prices and a production facility in Mexico for approximately 20 yearsdecreased available supply of steel. We may not be able to pass such price increases on to our customers and purchases a material amount of manufactured products from this subsidiary. For example, in fiscal 2016, the Company imported approximately $53 million of metal building products from the Company’s Mexican subsidiary. Specific legislative and regulatory proposals discussed during and after the election that could have a material impact on us include, but aremay not limitedbe able to reform of the U.S. federal tax code, including possible elimination of interest deduction and imposition of taxes on imports, and modifications to international trade policy.  Any such changes, if unmitigated by changes in our supply chain or tax organization structures, may make it more difficult and/or more expensive for us and, thus, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and limit its growth.
We rely on third-party suppliers for materials in addition to steel, and if we fail to identify and develop relationships with a sufficient number of qualified suppliers, or if there is a significant interruption in our supply chains, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
In addition to steel, our operations require other raw materials from third-party suppliers. We generally have multiplesecure adequate alternative sources of supply for our raw materials, however, in some cases, materials are provided bysteel on a single supplier. The losstimely basis. Either of or substantial decrease in the availability of, products from our suppliers, or the loss of a key supplier,these occurrences could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, supply interruptions could arise from shortages of raw materials, labor disputes or weather conditions affecting products or shipments or other factors beyond our control. Short- and long-term disruptions in our supply chain would result in a need to maintain higher inventory levels as we replace similar product, a higher cost of product and ultimately a decrease in our revenues and profitability. To the extent our suppliers experience disruptions, there is a risk for delivery delays, production delays, production issues or delivery of non-conforming products by our suppliers. Even where these risks do not materialize, we may incur costs as we prepare contingency plans to address such risks. In addition, disruptions in transportation lines could delay our receipt of raw materials. If our supply of raw materials is disrupted or our delivery times extended,affect our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, some of our third-party suppliers may not be able to handle commodity cost volatility or changing volumes while still performing up to our specifications. Short-term changes in the cost of these materials, some of which are subject to significant fluctuations, are sometimes, but not always passed on to our customers. Our inability to pass on material price increases to our customers could adversely impact our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.condition.
