(4)REVENUE

Sales includes revenue from contracts with customers from roof and foundation ventilation products; centralized mail systems and electronic package solutions; rain dispersion products and roofing accessories; expanded and perforated metal; perimeter security solutions; expansion joints and structural bearings; designing, engineering, manufacturing and installation of solar racking systems and greenhouse structures.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when, or as, the Company transfers control of promised products or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or service. Refer to Note 16 of this quarterly report on Form 10Q for additional information related to revenue recognized by timing of transfer of control by reportable segment.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within a range from 30 to 60 days, or in certain cases, up front deposits. In circumstances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that the Company's contracts generally


do not include a significant financing component. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from sales.

Performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and significant judgments

The majority of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the Company transfers control of the promised product at a point in time, which is determined when the customer has legal title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and the Company has a present right to payment for the product. These contracts with customers include promised products, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Accordingly, the Company allocates the transaction price, which is generally the quoted price per terms of the contract and the consideration the Company expects to receive, to each performance obligation in an amount based on an observable price of the products as the Company frequently sells these products separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. These products are generally sold with rights of return and these contracts may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount to predict the consideration to which the Company will be entitled, and only to the extent it is probable that a subsequent change in estimate will not result in a significant revenue reversal when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Sales returns, allowances, and customer incentives, including rebates, are treated as reductions to the sales transaction price and based largely on an assessment of all information (i.e., historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company, and estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available.

Performance obligations satisfied over time and significant judgments

For contracts with customers which the Company satisfies a promise to the customer to construct a certain asset that the customer controls as it is being created or enhanced, or a promise to provide a product that has no alternative use to the Company and the Company has enforceable rights to payment, the Company satisfies the performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time. For the contracts to construct a certain asset, the Company determines that the customer controls the asset while it is being constructed. For the contracts for products that have no alternative use and for which the Company has an enforceable right to payment, the Company identifies these products as products that are not a standard inventory item or the Company cannot readily direct the product to another customer or use without incurring a significant economic loss, or significant costs to rework the product.

When the promised products and services are to construct a certain asset that the customer controls, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company determines the transaction price for each contract based on the consideration the Company expects to receive for the promised products and services under the entire contract, which is generally the stated contract price based on an expected cost plus a margin approach.

When the promised products do not have an alternative use to the Company, and the Company has enforceable rights to payment, the transaction price is determined for each contract based on the consideration the Company expects to receive for the promised products under the contract and is generally the stated contract price based on an expected cost plus a margin approach for each performance obligation. These promised products are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

For the above contracts with customers with respect to which the Company satisfies a performance obligation over time, the Company recognizes revenue based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The cost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on the contract as the incurred costs are proportionate to the Company's progress in satisfying the performance obligation. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recognized proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill a contract include all direct costs related to contract performance. Selling and administrative expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Provision for loss on an uncompleted performance obligation is recognized in the period in which such loss is determined.

The Company regularly reviews the progress and performance of the performance obligation recognized over time under the cost-to-cost method. Any adjustments to net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current


period the cumulative effect of the changes on current or prior periods based on a performance obligation's cost-to-cost measure of progress.

The Company also recognizes revenues from services contracts over time. For these contracts, the transaction price is determined for each contract based on the consideration the Company expects to receive for the promised service under the contract, which generally is the stated contract price. In order to estimate the standalone selling price of the performance obligation, the Company evaluates the market in which the promised service is sold and estimates the price that customers in the market would be willing to pay. Further, the Company recognizes revenue over time during the term of the agreement as the customer is simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits provided throughout the Company's performance. Therefore due to control transferring over time, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the contract period.

Remaining performance obligations

As of September 30, 2018, the Company's remaining performance obligations are part of contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. Therefore, any remaining performance obligations are not required to be disclosed.

Contract receivables are primarily associated with developers, contractors and customersassets

Contract assets consist of costs in connection with the Renewable Energy and Conservation segment.excess of billings. Costs in excess of billings principally representincludes unbilled amounts resulting from revenues under contracts with customers that are satisfied over time and when the cost-to-cost measurement method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Costs in excess of billings are classified as current assets and are reported net of contract billings on contracts that were not billablea contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of cost. Billings in excess of cost includes billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue, which includes advanced payments, up-front payments, and progress billing payments. Billings in excess of cost are reported net of contract cost on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period and are classified as current liabilities. To determine the revenue recognized in the period from the beginning balance of billings in excess of cost, the contract liability as of the beginning of the period is recognized as revenue on a contract by contract basis when the Company incurs costs to satisfy the performance obligation related to the individual contract. Once the beginning contract liability balance sheet date.for an individual contract has been fully recognized as revenue, any additional payments received in the period are recognized as revenue once the related costs have been incurred.

Costs to obtain a contract with a customer

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. As of September 30, 2018, the Company does not have any open contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year, and therefore, we expense such costs as incurred. These amounts will be billedincremental costs include, but are not limited to, sales commissions incurred to obtain a contract with a customer.

There were no transition adjustments to the opening balance of "Billings in Excess of Cost" at January 1, 2018. Refer to "Transition disclosures" below for further explanation of cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet for the adoption of ASC 606.

Transition disclosures

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, only for contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application using the modified retrospective method. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative period information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. The Company does not expect the Consolidated Balance Sheet.adoption of this standard to have a material impact to the Company's net income on an ongoing basis.

A majority of the Company's revenues continue to be recognized when products are shipped or service is provided and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss. For certain custom fabricated products for which there is no alternative use and the Company has enforceable rights to payment for performance to date where revenue was previously recognized upon transfer of title and risk of loss, the Company now recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies its performance over time in accordance with ASC 606.



The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet for the adoption of ASC 606 is as follows (in thousands):

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017. The Company’s only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the fair value of outstanding debt net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $218,700,000$211.8 million and $219,898,000,$213.8 million, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $209,825,000$210.2 million and $209,637,000,$210.0 million, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s 6.25% Notes is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices adjusted for unamortized debt issuance costs. 
  
12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
(12)DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

For certain divestiture transactions completed in prior years, the Company has agreed to indemnify the buyer for various liabilities that may arise after the disposal date, subject to limits of time and amount. The Company is a party to certain claims made under these indemnification provisions. As of September 30, 2017,2018, the Company has a contingent liability recorded for such provisions related to discontinued operations. Management does not believe that the outcome of this claim,these claims, or other claims, would significantly affect the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

(13)EXIT ACTIVITY COSTS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS



The Company is in the third yearhas incurred exit activity costs and asset impairment charges as a result of its five year planned transformation strategy formulated to transform its operations and improve its financial results over this five year period. This strategy includes an 80/20 simplification initiative which,and portfolio management initiatives. These initiatives have resulted in part, focuses the Company’s internal resources on further increasing the value provided to our customers. A result of this initiative was the identification of low-volume, low margin, internally-produced products which have been or will be outsourced or discontinued. Portfolio management, another key part of the strategydiscontinued, and a natural adjunct to the 80/20 initiative, is another initiative in which management conducts strategic reviews of our current portfolio for future profitable growth and greater shareholder returns. This initiative has resulted in the sale and exiting of less profitable businesses or products lines in order to enable the Company to re-allocate leadership, time, capital and resources to the highest potential platforms and businesses. Exit activity costs and asset impairment charges were incurred as a result of these initiatives.lines.

Exit activity costs were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 which related to contract termination costs,terminations, severance, costs, and other moving and closing costs. These costs wereDuring this time, the result of the closing and consolidation of facilities, relocation of inventory and equipment at those facilities and the reduction of workforce associated with the discontinued products and closed facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,Company also incurred asset impairment charges incurred were more than offset by a gain on sale of assets previously impaired in 2016 as a result of businesses and product lines discontinued. Specifically, the exit of both the Company's small European residential solar racking business and the exit of the Company's U.S. bar grating product line, which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016, transacted sales of assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 which resulted in a net gain. These exits were completed in the first half of 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, asset impairment charges were incurred related to the write-down of inventory, impairment of machinery and equipment and intangible assets associated with either discontinued product lines or reduced sales of lower margin products. In conjunction with these initiatives, the reduction of manufactured goods offered withinCompany also sold and leased back a product line. These assets were written down to their sale or scrap value, and were subsequently sold or disposed of. Duringfacility which resulted in a gain, as well as closed two other facilities during the first nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company closed three facilities as a result of this strategy.2018.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016,2017, the Company incurred asset impairment charges and exit activity costs resulting from the above strategyinitiatives. Also, as well. As a result of these initiatives, the Company sold its European industrial manufacturing business to a third party in April 2016, as well as closed four otherthree facilities during the first nine months of 2016.2017.

As noted above, the Company sold its European industrial manufacturing business to a third party on April 15, 2016 from its Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment. This divestiture did not meet the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation as it does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations. Similarly, neither the exiting of the Company’s small European residential solar racking business nor its U.S. bar grating product line met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2016. Therefore, prior period results of continuing operations have not been restated to exclude the impact of the divested and existed businesses' financial results. The pretax loss on sale of the European industrial manufacturing business is presented within other expense (income) in the consolidated statement of operations. The costs related to the exit of the Company's small European residential solar racking business and its U.S. bar grating product line are reflected in the above tables.

(14)INCOME TAXES

The following table summarizes the provision for income taxes for continuing operations (in thousands) for the three and nine months ended September 30, and the applicable effective tax rates:

Effective tax rate35.2% 39.4% 35.8% 22.7%24.9% 35.2% 23.5% 35.8%
The change in the effective tax rate year over year is primarily due to the reduction in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was greater than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to state taxes and nondeductible permanent differences partially offset by favorable discrete items, including a $2.6 million tax benefit related to performance share unit vesting. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was greater than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes and $2.2 million of pretax losses generated by the European residential solar racking business for which no tax benefit hashad been recorded as such benefit is not expected to be realizable, partially offset by net deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act") was signed into law. On this day, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. The effectiveCompany recognized the provisional tax rateimpacts related to the one-time transition tax, withholding tax and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and included these amounts in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our preliminary estimate of the one-time transition tax and the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities is subject to the finalization of management’s analysis related to certain matters, such as developing interpretations of the provisions of the Tax Reform Act, changes to certain estimates and amounts related to the earnings and profits of certain subsidiaries and the filing of our tax returns, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions interpreting the Tax Reform Act may require further adjustments and changes in our estimates.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized an adjustment to the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017. The following table sets forth the components of the adjustment which were recorded in income tax expense from continuing operations during nine month period ended September 30, 2018, (in thousands):
Remeasurement of certain deferred tax balances (1)174
One-time transition tax (1)(363)
Non-deductible performance based compensation (2)366
Net adjustment recorded to provisional income tax expense177

(1) Provisional amounts primarily related to return to provision adjustments.

(2) Provisional amounts primarily related to further guidance of Notice 2018-68 (guidance on performance-based compensation issued in the third quarterquarter).

The Company has elected to account for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") tax in the period in which it is incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts of 2016 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes and unfavorable discrete items. The effective tax rateGILTI in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate2018. As a result of 35% due to deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items partially offset by state taxes.
The Company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $11.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to the effect of a worthless stock deduction and an associated bad debt deduction of inter-company debt resulting from the sale of its European industrial manufacturing business to a third party. The amount of this benefit was subsequently adjusted and reduced by $4.8 millionproposed regulations issued in the fourththird quarter of 2016.
2018, the impact of GILTI on our current annual effective tax decreased the impact on the effective rate from 0.6% to 0.3%. If future guidance differs from our interpretations, this amount may change.

15.The final determination of the one-time transition tax and the re-measurement of our deferred assets and liabilities will be completed as additional information becomes available, but no later than one year from the enactment of the Tax Reform Act.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated other Comprehensive Income, which gives entities the option to reclassify retained earning tax effects resulting from Tax Reform related to items in AOCI that the FASB refers to as having been stranded in AOCI. The Company must adopt this guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance, including the period Tax Reform was enacted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2018-02. As a result of adopting this standard, we reclassified $350,000 from AOCI to retained earnings.

Business Strategy
Our business strategy is designed tofocuses on significantly elevateelevating and accelerateaccelerating the growth and financial returns of the Company. We believe this can be achieved, in part, fromstrive to deliver best-in-class, sustainable value creation for our shareholders for the long-term, and to generate more earnings at a transformational change in the Company’s portfolio, as well as, the implementationhigher rate of the strategy described below. return with a more efficient use of capital year over year.
Our business strategy has four key elements, or "pillars," which are:consist of operational excellence, product innovation, portfolio management and acquisitions as a strategic accelerator. We strive to deliver best-in-class,believe that the continuing implementation of these pillars will produce transformational change in the Company’s portfolio and performance, resulting in sustainable value creation for our shareholders for the long-term.

shareholders.
Operational excellence is our first pillar in this strategy. We focus on reducing complexity, adjusting costs and simplifying our product offering through 80/20 simplification ("initiatives (“80/20"20”). 80/20 is a core partthe practice of the operational excellence pillar and is based on the analysis that 25% of the customers typically generate 89% of the revenue in a business, and 150% of the profitability. Through analysis of data generated by our 80/20 practices, we are focusing on our largest and best opportunities (the “80”) and eliminating complexity associated with less profitable opportunities (the “20”) in order to generate more earnings year over year, at a higher. Implementation of 80/20 across our businesses, along with in-lining and market rate of return with a more efficient use of capital.

We are in the third year of our multi-year simplification initiative. Since initiation of 80/20 in 2015, we have exceeded our initial five-year target ending 2019 of $25 million of pre-tax savings. We are currently in the middle of this 80/20 initiative, which means that there is both more workdemand replenishment initiatives, and more opportunity ahead. We are targeting greater structural changes affecting our balance sheet. We are starting the follow-on management tools of in-lining our manufacturing processes linked with market-rate-of-demand replenishment tools. These follow-on tools are focused on manufacturing the highest-volume productsoutsourcing initiatives for our largest customers, and on a much higher level of capacity utilization. We expect these methods will yield additional benefits including lower manufacturing costs, lower inventories and fixed assets, and an even higher level of servicevolume products provided to customers.

The second pillar of our strategy is portfolio management, which is a natural adjunct to the 80/20 initiative. Using the 80/20 process, we conduct strategic reviews of our customers to achieve our value proposition, will improve our profitability. Our next step in operational excellence is to concentrate on selling and end markets,marketing strategies, known as trade focus, to drive organic growth by developing new and allocate leadership time, capital and resourcesinnovative products which respond to the platforms and businesses with the highest revenue and margin potential. Following the sale of our European industrial manufacturing businesscustomers’ needs to a third party in April 2016, we decided in December 2016 to exit our small European residential solar racking business and U.S. bar grating product line, both of which proceeded as planned. These portfolio changes have helped contribute to the Company's realization of a higher rate of return on invested capital in 2016. We have now acted on all near-term portfolio assessments and expect no additional changes in 2017 while we continue to position our resources on more attractive projects and markets.

simplify their operations.
Product innovation is our thirdsecond strategic pillar.pillar where we focus on products with patent protection, developed internally or through acquired product lines. Innovation is centered on the allocation of new and existing resources to opportunities that we believe will produce sustainable returns. Our focus is on driving top line growth with new and innovative products. We are focused on the development or acquisition of those products and technologies that we believe have relevance to the end-user and can be differentiated from our competition. Our initiativesWe believe that development of these innovative products and technologies will be tailored toward reallocating sales and marketing talent to target specific end user groups in order to better understand their needs and the various market opportunities that may be available. This effort is expectedsupport our objectives to produce ideassustainable returns for our shareholders.
The third pillar of our strategy is portfolio management, which involves the evaluation of our product lines, customers and opportunitiesend markets with the objective of allocating leadership time and financial resources to the highest-potential platforms and businesses. We view portfolio management as a continuous process that generate profitable growth. Our focus on innovation is centered on four markets: postal, parcel and storage solutions; residential air management; infrastructure; and renewable energy. These respective marketswill remain an important part of our strategy as we look to improve the Company’s long-term financial performance. We are expected to grow based on demand for: centralized mail and parcel delivery systems; zero carbon footprint homes;currently supporting all of the need for repairs to elevated bridges that are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete; and energy sources not dependent on fossil fuels.

businesses in our portfolio today.
The fourth pillar of our strategy is acquisitions. We have targeted four key markets in which to make strategic acquisitions, which are served by existing platforms withinwe consider an important part of the Company. The existing platformsCompany’s transformation. Our low leverage, high liquidity and strong cash flow enables us to consider larger acquisition targets. Our executive leadership team continues to invest time and energy in prospecting for and vetting of potential acquisition candidates. However, we remain committed to only making acquisitions which will contribute long-term value to the Company and its shareholders. We continue to seek acquisition prospects in attractive end markets, with unique value propositions and patented products or technologies. Our target markets include the same areaspostal and parcel solutions, residential building products, perimeter security, infrastructure, renewable energy and conservation. Our recent acquisition of SolarBOS in which we are targeting the development of innovative products: postal, parcel and storage solutions; infrastructure; residential air management; and renewable energy. These platforms are all in large markets in which the underlying trends for customer convenience and safety, energy-savings and resource conservation are of increasing importance to consumers and are expected to drive long-term demand. We believe these markets also offer the opportunity for higher returns on our investments than those we have generated in the past. The acquisitions of Rough Brothers Manufacturing, Inc., RBI Solar, Inc., and affiliates, collectively known as "RBI" in June 2015 and more recently, Nexus Corporation ("Nexus") in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, wereAugust 2018 was the direct result of this strategy. We also consider businesses outside of these four markets, as
Overall, we continually search out opportunities to growbelieve our business strategy has enabled us to achieve stronger financial results, make more efficient use of capital, and deliver higher shareholder returns. We have and expect to continue to restructure our operations, including consolidation of facilities, reducing overhead costs, and controlling investments in large markets with expected growthinventory, which enables us to better react to fluctuations in commodity costs and customer demand and has contributed to both improved margins and cash flows.

On April 15, 2016, the Company sold its European industrial manufacturing business to a third party for net of cash proceeds of $8.3 million. This business, which supplied expanded metal products for filtration and other applications, contributed $36 million in revenue to the Company's Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment in 2015 and had nearly break-even operating results. The Company's divestiture of this business was the result of the Company's portfolio management assessments.

The Company serves customers primarily throughout North America and, to a lesser extent, Asia. Our customers include major home improvement retailers, wholesalers, industrial distributors, contractors, solar developers and institutional and commercial growers of plants. As of September 30, 2017, we operated 42 facilities in 17 states, Canada, China, and Japan, giving us a base of operations to provide customer support, delivery, service and quality to a number of regional and national customers and providing us with manufacturing and distribution efficiencies in North America, as well as a presence in the Asian markets.

The Company operates and reports its results in the following three reporting segments, entitled:
Residential Products;

The end markets our businesses serve include residential housing, industrial manufacturing, transportation infrastructure, and renewable energy and conservation. These end markets are subject to economic conditions that are influenced by various factors. These factors include but are not limited to changes in general economic conditions, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity costs, demand for residential construction, demand for repair and remodeling, governmental policies and funding, tax policies and incentives, tariffs, trade policies, the volumelevel of non-residential construction and infrastructure projects.projects, need for protection of high value assets, demand for renewable energy sources, and climate change. We believe the key elements of our strategy will allow us to respond timely to changes in these factors. We have and expect to continue to restructure our operations, including consolidation of facilities, reducing overhead costs, curtailing investments in inventory, and managing our business to generate incremental cash. Additionally, we believe our strategy has enabled us to better react to fluctuations in commodity costs and customer demand, and has helped in improving margins. We have used the improved cash flows generated by these initiatives to improve our liquidity position, and invest in growth initiatives. Overall, we are striving to achieve stronger financial results, make more efficient use of capital, and deliver higher shareholder returns.

in ongoing revenue streams along with contributions from our recent acquisitionspricing to customers, partially offset by a 3.0% decrease in volume, was driven by strong growth in our Renewable Energy and Conservation andsegment, which included a $1.6 million contribution from the recently acquired SolarBos. This growth was partially offset by lower revenues in both the Residential Products Segments, Nexus in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, respectively. Also contributing to the increase was a modest 1.0% increase in pricing to customers. Partially offsetting these increases were the results of divestitures related to the Company’s portfolio management activities during 2016. This included the exit of both the Company's small European residential solar racking businesssegment and the Company's U.S. bar grating product line, both of which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016.

The increase was the result of strong domestic demand, continued growth in innovative products, and a $1.6 million contribution from the recently acquired SolarBos.
Our consolidated gross margin slightly increased to $82.0 million25.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was the result of sales generated from the acquisition of Nexus and an increase in volume in our domestic markets. Partially offsetting this increase were the effects of the exit of the Company's small European residential solar racking business and continued softness in our international markets.
Net sales in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment decreased 21.7%, or $15.8 million to $56.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172018 compared to $72.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of the Company's exit from its U.S. bar grating product line. Also a decrease in demand for our infrastructure products as compared to the third quarter in the prior year, which include components for bridges and elevated highways, contributed to the decline in volume due to continued delay in infrastructure projects. We expect this decline to be temporary as backlog and bookings for this business have increased compared to the prior year quarter and the market shows signs of recovery.
Our consolidated gross margin slightly increased to 25.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 24.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.2017. This increase was largely the result of portfolio management actions during 2016 in which less profitable businesses or product lines were sold or exited in order to enable the Company to re-allocate leadership, time, capitalcontributions from our new innovative products, 80/20 profit improvement initiatives and resources to the highest potential platforms and businesses. This increase was largely offset by a lessmore favorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreasedincreased by $8.3$7.8 million, or 20.1%23.7%, to $40.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $33.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $41.42017. The $7.8 million forincrease was the three months ended September 30, 2016. The $8.3 million decrease was primarily due to $7.6combined result of $5.0 million of lowerhigher performance-based compensation expenses, a $1.3 million increase in restructuring charges relating to our 80/20 initiatives, along with a $2.2$1.0 million decreaseincrease in senior leadership transition costs. These were partially offset by $2.3 millioncosts as compared to the prior year quarter. The higher performance-based compensation costs are the result of additional expense from the acquisitions of Nexusimprovements in return on invested capital year over year and Package Concierge.an increasing average stock price in 2018. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreasedincreased to 14.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 12.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 15.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The Renewable Energy and Conservation segment generated an operating margin of 13.1%15.3% in the current year quarter compared to 20.0%13.1% in the prior year quarter. The decline in operating margin reflects an unfavorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices as compared to the prior year quarter.

Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment generated an operating margin of 4.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The improvement was largelyprimarily the result of costs incurred in the prior-year quarter related tocontinued benefit of operational improvements from our 80/20 simplification initiatives.

This decreaseincrease from the prior year quarter was largely due to a $7.4$3.7 million decreaseincrease in performance-based compensation expenses, the result of improvements in return on invested capital year over year and increasing average stock price in 2018, along with a $2.2$1.1 million decreaseincrease in senior leadership transition costs.costs as compared to the prior year quarter.
The Company recorded other expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and other expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and2017. The increase in other expense from the prior year quarter was primarily the result of $0.2foreign currency fluctuations.
Interest expense decreased by $0.6 million to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to foreign currency fluctuations.
Interest expense modestly decreased by $0.1 million2018 compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172017. The decrease in expense was due to the offsetting effect of income earned on our interest-bearing cash balances for the current year quarter compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.prior year quarter.

Consolidated net sales decreasedincreased by $47.3$32.7 million, or 6.1%4.5%, to $728.8$761.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2017. The decrease in sales was primarily4.5% increase, the combined result of divestitures relateda 3.8% increase in pricing to the Company’s portfolio management activities during 2016. The Company sold its European industrial manufacturing businesscustomers and a 0.7% increase in April 2016 to a third party and exited both the Company's small European residential solar racking business and the Company's U.S. bar grating product line, both of these divestitures commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016. These divestitures resulted in a decrease in revenues of $66.2 million from the prior year. Partially offsetting these divestitures were net sales contributions from our recent acquisitionsvolume, was driven by strong growth in our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment, including a $1.6 million contribution from the recently acquired SolarBos, along with higher revenues in our Industrial and ResidentialInfrastructure Products Segments, Nexus in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, respectively. A net decrease in volume of 2.0% in comparable revenue streams nearly offset by a modest 2.0% increase in pricing to customers also contributed to the overall decrease in sales year over year.segment.

Net sales in our Residential Products segment increased 6.9%decreased 0.1%, or $23.2$0.4 million, to $361.3$360.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 compared to $338.1$361.3 million forin the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2017. The increase was largely the result of a net increase in volume along with sales generateddecrease from the acquisition of Package Concierge and an increase in pricing to customers. The net sales volume increaseprior year was primarily due to an increasehigher storm-related roofing activity in demand for our ventilation2017, and roofing products along with increased demand for our multifamily postal and parcel storage products.
Net salesa slight decline in our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment decreased 1.0%, or $2.0 million to $202.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $204.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was the result of the exit of the Company's small European residential solar racking business and continued softness in our international markets,commercial/multi-family construction market, partially offset by sales generated from the acquisition of Nexus and increased volume in our domestic markets. As expected, total volume declined in the first nine months of 2017 as we entered 2017 with lower levels of backlog,steady customer demand for rain dispersion products.

which resulted in lower sales in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016. Backlog has improved for this segment and now exceeds its prior year levels.
Net sales in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment decreased 29.4%increased 3.9%, or $68.6$6.5 million, to $171.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $164.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared2017. Pricing actions along with contributions from new innovative industrial products drove the increased revenues.

Net sales in our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment increased 13.1%, or $26.5 million, to $233.4$229.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2018 compared to $202.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in net salesincrease was the combined result of the Company's exit from its U.S. bar grating product linestrong demand in both our domestic renewable energy and the divestitureconservation markets and continued traction of our European industrial manufacturing business, along with a 5.0% decrease in volume as compared to the same period in the prior year. A decrease in demand for our infrastructure products, which include components for bridges and elevated highways, contributed to the decline in volume due to continued delay in infrastructure projects. We expect this decline to be temporary due to federal and state funding availability and as evidenced by an increase in segment backlog during the current year.innovative products.

Our consolidated gross margin remained relatively unchanged atslightly increased to 24.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 24.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 24.6% for2017. This increase was the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company benefited from portfolio management actions during 2016 in which less profitable businesses or products lines were sold or exited in order to enable the Company to re-allocate leadership, time, capital and resources to the platforms and businesses with the highest potential revenue and margins. In addition, other portfolio management actions taken resultingresult of contributions from our new innovative products, 80/20 profit improvement initiatives contributed to maintaining the margin as well. These benefits were largely offset by lessand a more favorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreasedincreased by $8.5$4.1 million, or 7.2%3.7%, to $113.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $109.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $118.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2017.

On December 9, 2015, we entered into the Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement") which includes a 5-year, $300 million revolving credit facility and provides the Company with access to capital and improved financial flexibility. As of September 30, 2017,2018, our liquidity of $496.8$535.9 million consisted of $208.0$245.4 million of cash plus $288.8$290.5 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. We believe this liquidity, together with the cash expected to be generated from operations, should be sufficient to fund working capital needs and simplification initiatives that likely will need cash to fund transitions and future growth. We continue to search for strategic acquisitions and larger acquisitions may require additional borrowings and/or the issuance of our common stock.
Our Senior Credit Agreement provides the Company with liquidity and capital resources for use by our U.S. operations. Historically, our foreign operations have generated cash flow from operations sufficient to invest in working capital and fund their capital improvements. As of September 30, 2017,2018, our foreign subsidiaries held $25.2$31.4 million of cash in U.S. dollars. We believeAs a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act") signed into law on December 22, 2017, the majority of cash held by our foreign subsidiaries provides our foreign operations withas of December 22, 2017, is expected to be repatriated to the necessary liquidity to meet future obligations and allows the foreign business units to reinvest in their operations. These cash resources could eventually be used to grow our business internationally. Repatriation of this cash for domestic purposes could result in significant tax consequences.U.S.
Over the long-term, we expect that future obligations includingand strategic business opportunities such as acquisitions, may be financed through a number of sources, including internally available cash, availability under our revolving credit facility, new

debt financing, the issuance of equity securities, or any combination of the above. Any potential acquisitions are evaluated based on our acquisition strategy, which includes the enhancement of our existing products, operations, or capabilities, expanding our access to new products, markets, and customers, and the improvement of shareholder value. The recent acquisitionsOur 2018 acquisition of Nexus CorporationSolarBOS and our 2017 acquisition of Package Concierge on October 11, 2016 and February 22, 2017, respectively, were financed throughfunded by cash on hand.
These expectations are forward-looking statements based upon currently available information and may change if conditions in the credit andor equity markets deteriorate or other circumstances change. To the extent that operating cash flows are lower than current levels, or sources of financing are not available or not available at acceptable terms, our future liquidity may be adversely affected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2017. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operation, cash flows, and future prospects. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, or operating results. We are providing the following information regarding changes that have occurred to the previously disclosed risk factors in our Form 10-K. Except for such additional information, we believe there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K.

Recently imposed tariffs and potential future tariffs may result in increased costs and could adversely affect our results of operations
On June 1, 2018, the United States imposed Section 232 tariffs on certain steel (25%) and aluminum (10%) products imported into the U.S. These tariffs have created volatility in the market and have increased the costs of these inputs. Increased costs for imported steel and aluminum products have lead domestic sellers to respond with market-based increases to prices for such inputs as well. The new tariffs, along with any additional tariffs or trade restrictions that may be implemented by the U.S. or other countries, could result in further increased costs, shifting in competitive positions and a decreased available supply of steel and aluminum as well as additional imported components and inputs. We may not be able to pass price increases on to our customers and may not be able to secure adequate alternative sources of steel and aluminum on a timely basis. While retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. goods have not yet had a significant impact, we cannot predict further developments. The tariffs could adversely affect the operating profits for certain of our businesses and customer demand for certain of our products which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
