Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Investments in 50% or less owned entities are accounted for using either cost or the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation under GAAP. ~~Uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic will likely impact our operations, customers, and various areas of risk.~~ We assessed certain accounting matters that require the use of estimates and assumptions in context with the known and projected future impacts of COVID-19. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Interim Reporting Period

The accompanying unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 (the ~~“2019~~“2020 Form 10-K”).

The unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth therein in accordance with GAAP. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data provided herein were derived from audited financial statements included in the ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The Company’s quarterly results fluctuate. As a result, the Company believes the results of operations for this interim period presented are not indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.

Generally, the Company’s revenue contract with a customer exists when goods are shipped, and services (if any) are rendered; and its related invoice is generated. The duration of the contract does not extend beyond the promised goods or services already transferred. The transaction price of each distinct promised product or service specified in the invoice is based on its relative stated standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer at a point in ~~time or as the services are completed.~~time. The Company’s shipping terms provide the primary indicator of the transfer of control. The Company’s general shipping terms are F.O.B. shipping point, where title and risk and rewards of ownership transfer at the point when the products leave the Company’s warehouse. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the invoice with a customer, ~~less~~excluding any sales incentives, discounts, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties (i.e., governmental tax authorities). Based on historical experience with the customer, the customer's purchasing pattern and its significant experience selling products, the Company concluded that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty (if any) is resolved (that is, when the total amount of purchases is known). Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Net Income Per Common Share

The Company calculates net income per common share based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are included in the diluted per-share calculations using the treasury stock method for all periods when the effect is dilutive.

Accounting for Leases

The Company has operating and finance leases for certain facilities, equipment, autos and data centers. As an accounting policy for short-term leases, the Company elected to not recognize the right-of-use asset and liability, if, at the commencement date, the lease (1) has a term of 12 months or less and (2) does not include renewal and purchase options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Monthly payments on short-term leases are recognized on the straight-line basis over the full lease term.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to the estimated fair value of restricted stock ~~unit~~ awards on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally athe vesting term of four years. Stock-based expense related to performance share grants are measured based on ~~the~~ grant date fair value and expensed on a graded basis over the service ~~periods~~period of the awards, which is generally a performance period of three years. The performance conditions are based on the Company's achievement of revenue growth and return on invested capital over the performance period, and are evaluated for the probability of vesting at each reporting period end with changes in expected results recognized as an adjustment to expense. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of ~~options or~~ restricted stock ~~units~~grants are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the ~~Company's expectations.~~Company’s experience.

~~Fair~~0Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified under a three-tier fair valuation hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available in the market: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration related to acquisitions and equity investment are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as it is based on unobserved inputs such as management estimates and entity-specific assumptions and is evaluated on an ongoing basis. The ~~Company does not carry its long-term debt at~~ fair value ~~in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~of foreign currency forward contracts, calculated based on Level 1 inputs, was not material as of March 31, 2021.

Derivative Instruments - Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company ~~transacts business in various foreign countries and may therefore be exposed~~uses derivative instruments as a risk management tool to ~~foreign~~mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. Foreign currency exchange rate ~~risk. The Company has established~~ risk ~~management programs to protect against volatility in~~is the value of non-functional future cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and tries to maintain a partial or fully hedged position for certain transaction exposures when management considers appropriate. The Company enters into short-term foreign currency derivatives contracts, namely forward contracts, to hedge only those currency exposures associated with cash flows denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on the Company's derivative contracts are designed to offset losses and gains on the transactions hedged, and accordingly, generally do not subjectprimary market risk the Company ~~to risk~~manages through the use of ~~significant accounting losses. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. The credit risk of these~~ derivative contracts is minimized since the contracts are with a large financial institution and accordingly, fair value adjustments related to the credit risk of the counterparty financial institution are not material.

and the Chinese Yuan (CNY). As of September 30, 2020, the aggregate notional amount of the Company's outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was to buy CNY 70.3 million by selling $10.1 million throughout fiscal 2021.~~These forward contracts~~instruments, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges under the accounting standards and carried at fair value ~~is included in~~as other current assets or other current liabilities ~~as applicable,~~ in the ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets. Net deferred gains and losses ~~on these contracts relating~~related to changes in fair value are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders' equity in the ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets, and are reclassified into the line item in the ~~condensed~~ consolidated statement of income in ~~the~~ which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of any ~~forward contracts~~derivatives that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from other comprehensive income ~~("OCI")~~ into earnings.

The ~~fair value~~cash flow impact of these foreign currency forward contracts, calculated based on Level 1 inputs, was not material as of September 30, 2020, and amounts deferred in OCI are expected to be recognized as a component of cost of salesthe Company's derivative instruments is primarily included in the consolidated statement of ~~operations primarily during 2021. There were no amounts recognized due~~cash flows in net cash provided by operating activities. Refer to ~~ineffectiveness during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2020~~Note 8.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies ~~other~~ investments that are highly liquid and have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. As of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, the value of these investments were $28.2 million and ~~2019, the Company’s investments consisted mainly~~$0.1 million, respectively, consisting of ~~United States~~U.S. Treasury securities and money market ~~funds, included in cash equivalents~~funds. The value of the investments is based on cost, which ~~are the Company’s primary financial instruments and carried at cost, approximating~~approximates fair value based on Level 1 inputs.

Current Estimated Credit Loss - Allowance for doubtful accounts

The ~~balance~~Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated future expected credit losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments on its accounts receivable. The Company determines the estimate of the ~~Company’s primary~~allowance for doubtful accounts receivable by considering several factors, including (1) specific information on the financial ~~instruments as~~condition and the current creditworthiness of ~~September 30, 2020~~customers, (2) credit rating, (3) payment history and ~~2019 was $46.4 million~~historical experience, (4) aging of the accounts receivable, and ~~$0.1 million, respectively.~~(5) reasonable and supportable forecasts about collectability. The Company also reserves 100% of the amounts deemed uncollectible due to a customer's deteriorating financial condition or bankruptcy.

Every quarter, the Company evaluates the customer group using the accounts receivable aging report and its best judgment when considering changes in customers' credit ratings, level of delinquency, customers' historical payments and loss experience, current market and economic conditions, and expectations of future market and economic conditions.

The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for the year ended March 31, 2021 are outlined in the table below:


	Balance at		Amounts		Balance at
(in thousands)	December 31, 2020		Charged to Expense	Write-Offs1	March 31, 2021

1Amount is net of recoveries and the effect of foreign currency fluctuations for the year ended March 31, 2021.

The Company uses an estimated annual tax rate to measure the tax benefit or tax expense recognized in each interim period.

Accounting Standards ~~- Recently~~Not Yet Adopted

In ~~June 2016,~~March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU ~~No. 2016-13,~~ ~~“Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326~~): ~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 amendments provide~~2020-04 provides optional guidance onto ease the potential burden in accounting for ~~current expected credit losses~~reference rate reform on financial ~~instruments~~reporting in response to the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on December 31, 2021. The ASU allows the option to account for and present a modification that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The required measurement methodology is based on an expected loss model that includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 eliminates the probable incurredloss recognition in current GAAP. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 prospectively on January 1, 2020. Historically, the Company's actual credit losses have not been material. The Company's financial assets inmeets the scope of the standard as an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination required under the relevant topic or subtopic. Generally, the ASU ~~2016-13 mainly consist~~allows hedge accounting to continue if the hedge was highly effective or met other standards prior to reference rate reform.

In estimating expected credit loss,~~March 12, 2020. The relief provided in this ASU is only available for a limited time, generally through December 31, 2022. The Company's Credit Facility maturing on July 23, 2022 bears interest using LIBOR plus an applicable margin. We do not expect a material impact to our consolidated operating results, financial position or cash flows from the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference interest rates, but we ~~are using~~will continue to monitor the ~~aging method, such as pooling receivables based on the levels~~impact of delinquency and applying historical loss rates, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, to each pool. The Company will regularly reassess the customer groups by using its best judgment when considering changes in customers' credit ratings, customers' historical payments and loss experience, current market and economic conditions, and the Company's expectations of future market and economic conditions. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.this transition until it is completed.

All ~~other~~ issued and effective accounting standards during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 were determined to be not relevant or material to the Company.

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Disaggregated revenue

The Company disaggregates net sales into the following major product groups as described in the footnote for segment information included in these interim financial statements under Note ~~13.~~14.

Wood Construction Products Revenue. Wood construction products represented ~~86%~~87% and ~~84%~~86% of total net sales in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively.

Concrete Construction Products Revenue. Concrete construction products represented ~~14%~~13% and ~~16%~~14% of total net sales in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively.

Customer acceptance criteria. Generally, there are no customer acceptance criteria included in the Company's standard sales agreement with customers. When an arrangement with the customer does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a revenue contract under the standard, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount of nonrefundable consideration received when the Company has transferred control of the goods or services and has stopped transferring (and has no obligation to transfer) additional goods or services. The Company offers certain customers discounts for paying invoices ahead of the due date, which are generally between 30 to 60 days after the issue date.

Other revenue. Service sales, representing after-market repair and maintenance, engineering activities and software license sales and services were less than 1.0% of net sales and recognized as the services are completed or by transferring control over a product to a customer at a point in time. Services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. The typical contract length for a service is generally less than one year. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual services separately when they are distinct within the context of the contract. A distinct service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package if a customer can benefit from the service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate services in a bundle based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the services.

Reconciliation of contract balances

Contract assets are the rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities are recorded for any services billed to customers and not yet recognizable if the contract period has commenced or for the amount collected from customers in advance of the contract period commencing. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company had no contract assets or contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

3. Net Income Per Share

The following table reconciles basic net income per share of the Company's common stock to diluted net income per share for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively:

4. Stockholders' Equity

~~Share Repurchases~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 902,340 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market at an average price of $69.46 per share, for a total of $62.7 million. As of September 30, 2020,

~~approximately $37.3 million remains available for repurchase under the previously announced $100.0 million share repurchase authorization (which expires at the end of 2020).~~Treasury Shares

As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company held ~~1,020,328~~150,974 shares of its common stock as treasury shares.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company allocates stock-based compensation expense related to equity plans for employees and non-employee directors among the cost of sales, research and development and other engineering expense, selling expense, or general and administrative expense based on the job functions performed by the employees to whom the stock-based compensation is awarded. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to its equity plans for employees of ~~$4.0~~$6.5 million and ~~$2.1~~$0.3 million for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $6.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense was due to the reevaluation of the expected performance conditions and ~~2019, respectively, and $9.5 million and $8.7 million for~~updated expected vesting during the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.~~first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company granted ~~166,951~~133,424 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to the Company's employees, including officers at an estimated weighted average fair value of ~~$74.91~~$100.26 per share based on the closing price (adjusted for the present value of dividends) of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The RSUs granted to the Company's employees may be performance-based and/or time-based. Certain performance-based RSUs are granted to officers and key employees, where the number of performance-based awards to be issued is based on the achievement of certain Company performance criteria established in the RSU agreement over a cumulative three-year period. These awards cliff vest after three years. In addition, these same officers and key employees also receive time-based RSUs, which vest pursuant to a three-year graded vesting schedule. Time-based RSUs that are granted to the Company's employees excluding officers and certain key employees, vest ratably over the four year vesting-term of the award.

The Company’s 7 non-employee directors are entitled to receive approximately $690 thousand in equity compensation annually. The number of shares ultimately granted are based on the average closing share price for the Company over the 60 day period prior to approval of the award in April of each year. In April 2020, the Companygranted 9,239 shares of common stock to the Company's non-employee directors, based on the average closing price of $74.66 per share. The Company recognized expense on these shares at an estimated fair value of $58.72 per share based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date, for a total expense of $543 thousand.

As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company's aggregate unamortized stock compensation expense was approximately ~~$14.4~~$24.0 million, is expected to be recognized in expense over a weighted-average period of ~~2.3~~2.6 years.

Trade accounts receivable at the dates indicated consisted of the following:

Inventories at the dates indicated consisted of the following:

8. Derivative Instruments

The Company transacts business in various foreign countries and may therefore be exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company has established risk management programs to protect against volatility in the value of non-functional future cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and tries to maintain a partial or fully hedged position for certain transaction exposures when management considers appropriate. The Company enters into short-term foreign currency derivatives contracts, namely forward contracts, to hedge only those currency exposures associated with cash flows denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on the Company's derivative contracts are designed to offset losses and gains on the transactions hedged, and accordingly, generally do not subject the Company to risk of significant accounting losses. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. The credit risk of these derivative contracts is minimized since the contracts are with a large financial institution and accordingly, fair value adjustments related to the credit risk of the counterparty financial institution are not material.

The Company sources certain materials for its concrete products from a wholly owned subsidiary in China, and as a result is exposed to variability in cash outflows associated with changes in the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Chinese Yuan (CNY). As of March 31, 2021, the aggregate notional amount of the Company's outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was to buy CNY62.2 million by selling $9.1 million throughout fiscal 2021. These forward contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges under the accounting standards, and fair value is included in other current assets or other current liabilities, as applicable, in the consolidated balance sheet was $0.4 million.

Net deferred gains and losses on these contracts relating to changes in fair value are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("OCI"), a component of shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets, and are reclassified into the line item in the consolidated statement of income in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged item affects earnings. There were no amounts recognized for gains or losses on these contracts during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.Changes in fair value of any forward contracts that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from OCI into earnings. The amounts deferred in OCI are expected to be recognized as a component of cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations from 2021 to 2022. There were no amounts recognized due to ineffectiveness during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Operating Lease and Finance Obligations

The Company has operating leases for certain facilities, equipment and autos. The existing operating leases expire at various dates through ~~2024,~~2025, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years. The Company measured the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments are discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company measured the right-of-use assets ("ROU") assets at the amount at which the lease liability is recognized plus initial direct costs incurred or prepayment amounts. The ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance Lease Obligations

The Company has finance leases for data centers and certain office equipment, which was recorded in fixed assets as capital lease obligations. These finance lease obligations are included in current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The interest rates for these two capital leases are 2.89% and 3.50%, respectively, and the two leases will mature in May 2021 and July 2021, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company's lease terms and discount rates as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019:~~2020:

~~In May 2020,~~As previously disclosed, the ~~Company entered into a third amendment to~~Company's primary credit facility is the ~~unsecured~~$300.0 million revolving line of credit ~~agreement dated July 27, 2012~~(the "Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and certain other institutional lenders that provides for a $300.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). The Amendment extends the term of the Credit Agreement from July 23, 2021, to July 23, 2022. The Company is required to pay an annual facility fee of 0.20 to 0.35 percent on the available commitments under the Credit Agreement, regardless of usage, with the applicable fee determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The fee is included within other expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at an annual rate equal to either, at the Company’s option, (a) the rate for Eurocurrency deposits for the corresponding deposits of U.S. dollars as published by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, a United Kingdom company, or a comparable or successor quoting service approved by the Agent (the “LIBOR Rate”), adjusted for any reserve requirement in effect, plus a spread of from 0.80 to 1.65 percent, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate, plus a spread of 0.20 to 0.65 percent, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio. In no event shall the LIBOR Rate be less than 0.25 percent. The base rate is defined in a manner such that it will not be less than the LIBOR Rate. The Company will pay fees for standby letters of credit at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable spread described in the preceding clause (a), and will pay market-based fees for commercial letters of credit. The spread applicable to a particular LIBOR Rate loan or base rate loan depends on the consolidated leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries at the time the loan is made. Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time without penalty except for LIBOR Rate breakage costs and expenses.

In March 2020, the Company elected to draw down $150.0 million from the Credit Facility to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak; and subsequently paid down $75.0 million during the third quarter of 2020. "Refer to Note 14 Subsequent Event." As of September 30, 2020, the Company's total available credit was $227.5 million under this Credit Facility and other revolving credit lines.

In addition to the Credit Facility, certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are guarantors for a credit agreement between certain of its foreign subsidiaries and institutional lenders. Together, these credit facilities provide the Company with a total of ~~$303.9~~$304.0 million in revolving credit lines and an irrevocable standby letter of credit in support of various insurance deductibles. There were 0 outstanding balances as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There was $150.2 million outstanding balance as of March 31, 2020.

The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants ~~at September 30, 2020.~~under the loan agreement as of March 31, 2021.

~~12.~~13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s policy with regard to environmental liabilities is to accrue for future environmental assessments and remediation costs when information becomes available that indicates that it is probable that the Company is liable for any related claims and assessments and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Litigation and Potential Claims

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business. Corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, cracking, material hardness, wood pressure-treating chemicals, misinstallations,

misuse, design and assembly flaws, manufacturing defects, labeling defects, product formula defects, inaccurate chemical mixes, adulteration, environmental conditions, or other factors can contribute to failure of fasteners, connectors, anchors, adhesives, specialty chemicals, such as fiber reinforced polymers, and tool products. In addition, inaccuracies may occur in product information, descriptions and instructions found in catalogs, packaging, data sheets, and the Company’s website.

The resolution of any claim or litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Gentry Homes, Ltd. v. Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc., et al., Case No. 17-cv-00566, was filed in a federal district court in Hawaii against Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. and the Company on November 20, 2017. The Gentry case is a product of a previous state court class action, Nishimura v. Gentry Homes, Ltd., et al., Civil No. 11-1-1522-07, which is now closed. The Nishimura case concerned alleged corrosion of the Company’s galvanized “hurricane straps” and mudsill anchor products used in a residential project in Ewa by Gentry, Honolulu, Hawaii. In the Nishimura case, the plaintiff homeowners and the developer, Gentry Homes, Ltd. (“Gentry”), arbitrated their dispute and agreed on a settlement in the amount of approximately $90 million. In the subsequent Gentry case, Gentry alleges breach of warranty and negligent misrepresentation by the Company related to its “hurricane strap” and mudsill anchor products, and demands general, special, and consequential damages from the Company in an amount to be proven at trial. Gentry also seeks pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief. The Company admits no liability and will vigorously defend the claims brought against it.products. At this time, the Company ~~cannot reasonably ascertain~~and the ~~likelihood~~plaintiffs have reached a settlement in principle and are currently negotiating a definitive written agreement memorializing the settlement. Should the parties be unable to reach an accord on terms of the written agreement, further negotiations may take place that ~~it will be found responsible for substantial damages~~could result in a different settlement, or the case may continue on to ~~Gentry.~~trial. Based on the facts currently known, and subject to future events and

circumstances, the Company believes that all or part of the damages for the claims brought against it in the Gentry case may be covered by its insurance policies.

~~Given the nature and the complexities involved in the~~ ~~Gentry~~ proceeding, the Company is unable to estimate reasonably the likelihood of possible loss or a range of possible loss until the Company knows, among other factors, (i) the specific claims brought against the Company and the legal theories on which they are based; (ii) what claims, if any, might be dismissed without trial; (iii) how the discovery process will affect the litigation; (iv) the settlement posture of the other parties to the litigation; (v) the damages to be proven at trial, particularly if the damages are not specified or are indeterminate; (vi) the extent to which the Company’s insurance policies will cover the claims or any part thereof, if at all; and (vii) any other factors that may have a material effect on the proceeding.

~~13.~~14. Segment Information

The Company is organized into 3 ~~reportable~~reporting segments ~~which are~~ defined by the regions where the Company’s products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to the Company’s customers. The three regional segments are the North America segment ~~comprising~~(comprised primarily of the ~~United States~~Company’s operations in the U.S. and ~~Canada;~~Canada), the Europe segment ~~comprising continental Europe and the United Kingdom;~~ and the Asia/Pacific segment ~~comprising~~(comprised of the Company’s operations in ~~China, Hong Kong,~~Asia, the South Pacific, and the Middle ~~East. The Company's China and Hong Kong operations are manufacturing and administrative support locations, respectively.~~East). These ~~three reportable~~ segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials used, inthe production ~~production~~ processes, the distribution channels and the product applications. ~~The Company’s measure of profit or loss for its reportable segments is income (loss) from operations.~~

The following tables illustrate certain measurements used by management to assess the performance of its reportable segments as of or for the following periods:

* Sales to other segments are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash collected by the Company’s United States subsidiaries is routinely transferred into the Company’s cash management accounts and, therefore, has been included in the total assets of “Administrative and all other.” Cash and cash equivalent balances in the “Administrative and all other” segment were ~~$244.5~~$183.2 million, ~~$135.9~~$248.7 million, and ~~$161.4~~$199.8 million, as of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Total "Administrative and all other" assets are net of inter-segment due to and from accounts eliminated in consolidation.

While the Company manages its business by geographic segment, the following table illustrates the distribution of the Company’s net sales by product group as additional information for the following periods:

Wood construction products include connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and pre-fabricated shearwalls, and are used for connecting and strengthening wood-based construction primarily in the residential construction market. Concrete construction products include adhesives, chemicals, mechanical anchors, carbide drill bits, powder actuated tools and fiber

reinforcing materials, and are used for restoration, protection or strengthening concrete, masonry and steel construction in residential, industrial, commercial and infrastructure construction.

~~14.~~15. Subsequent Events

On ~~October 23, 2020,~~May 4, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of ~~$0.23~~$0.25 per share, estimated to be ~~$10.0~~$10.9 million in total.

Overview

We design, manufacture and sell building construction products that are of high quality and performance, easy to use and cost-effective for customers. We operate in three business segments determined by geographic region: North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific.

At our March 23, 2021 virtual analyst and investor day, we unveiled several key growth initiatives that we believe will help us continue our track record of above market growth through a combination of organic and inorganic opportunities. Our ~~strategic plan for growth includes increasing our market share and profitability in Europe; growing our market share in the concrete space; and continuing to develop our software to support~~organic opportunities are focused on expansion into new markets within our core competencies of wood and concrete products. These growth initiatives will focus on the original equipment manufacturers, repair and remodel or do-it-yourself, mass timber, concrete and structural steel markets.

In order to grow in these markets, we aspire to be among the leaders in engineered load-rated construction building products ~~offering~~and systems and customer-facing technology while leveraging our ~~strengths~~engineering expertise, deep-rooted relationships with top builders, engineers, contractors, code officials and distributors, along with our ongoing commitment to testing, research and innovation. Importantly, we currently have existing products, testing results, distribution and manufacturing capabilities for all five of our growth initiatives. It is also important to note that these initiatives are all currently in ~~engineering,~~different stages of development. Our successful growth in these areas will ultimately be a function of expanding our sales and/or marketing functions to promote our products to different end users and distribution channels, expanding our customer base, and potentially introducing new products in the future.

Also during the virtual analyst and investor day, we highlighted our ~~strong brand name. We believe these initiatives and objectives~~Five-year Ambitions, which are ~~crucial~~as follows:

1.strengthen our values-based culture;

2.be the business partner of choice;

3.strive to ~~not only offer a more complete solution~~be an innovative leader in our product categories;

4.continue above market growth relative to ~~our customers and bolster our sales of core wood connector products, but also to mitigate the effect of the cyclicality of~~ the U.S. housing ~~market.~~starts;

5.remain within the top quartile of our proxy peers for operating income margins; and

6.remain in the top quartile of our proxy peers for return on invested capital.

~~On October 30, 2017, we announced the 2020 Plan~~As with our growth initiatives, further updates will be forthcoming related to ~~provide additional transparency into the execution of~~material developments with our strategic plan and financial objectives. During the first quarter of 2020, the execution of our 2020 Plan continued to deliver financial and operational efficiencies. However, given the uncertainties surrounding the impact of COVID-19 on our business, on April 27, 2020, we withdrew our prior full year 2020 guidance originally issued on February 3, 2020, as well as the financial targets associated with the 2020 Plan.Five-year Ambitions.

~~In December~~A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in late 2019 ~~COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, China. Over~~and has spread around the ~~next several months, COVID-19 quickly spread across~~world, including to the ~~world.~~United States. In March 2020, the ~~WHO~~World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic ~~based on the rapid increase in exposure globally,~~ and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. As of ~~October 31, 2020,~~April 30, 2021, the virus continues to spread ~~infecting over 46 million people worldwide. No~~and has had a significant impact on worldwide economic activity and on macroeconomic conditions. Vaccines are available in various countries and distribution of the vaccine ~~is currently available for COVID-19~~also varies by country and in the U.S. by state. The duration and severity of its effects are still unknown.

Government authorities in the countries and states where we operate have issued various and differing shelter in place, stay at home, social distancing guidelines and other measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In many of those locations our operations are classified as an essential business and ~~all~~we continue to operate our business in compliance with applicable state and local laws and are observing recommended CDC guidelines to minimize the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus. We have undertaken numerous steps and instituted additional precautions to protect our employees, suppliers and customers, as their safety and well-being is one of our top priorities, and to comply with health and safety guidelines, including enhanced deep cleaning, staggered shifts, temperature checking, use of face masks, practicing social distancing and limiting non-employees at our locations, amongst other safety related policies and procedures. Many of our office workers in our manufacturing and distribution facilities, as well as the corporate headquarters, continue to operate in accordance with those orders. In late March, two of our larger European manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom and France were ordered to cease nearly all operations. Those two facilities have since re-opened. To date, there have been no orders to close any of our manufacturing or distribution facilities. work remotely, where possible

The Company’s management team continues to monitor and manage its ability to operate effectively and, to date, the Company has not experienced any significant disruptions within its supply chain. Our supply chain partners have been very supportive and continue to do their part to ensure that service levels to our customers remain strong and, to date, we have not experienced any supply-chain disruptions related to COVID-19 and have been able to meet our customers’ needs. We will continue to communicate with our supply chain partners to identify and mitigate risk and to manage inventory levels.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic the Company proactively took measures to maintain and preserve its strong financial position and ~~flexibility, including drawing down~~flexibility. Based on ~~the Credit Facility, implementing a hiring freeze and adjusting employee hours to meet production requirements, although during the year~~updated expectations, the Company ~~has~~ resumed hiring to meet increased demand levels that it has experienced. The ~~Company will continue to be conservative in its capital allocation approach but does project to repay the draw down on its Credit Facility by the end~~Crisis Management Team, which includes members of the 2020 fiscal year and has resumed the stock repurchase program in the fourth quarter 2020. As a result of COVID-19 and in support of continuing its manufacturing efforts, the Company has undertaken a number of steps to protect its employees, suppliers and customers, as their safety and well-being is one of our top priorities. We have instituted additional precautions in our manufacturing and distribution facilities to comply with health and safety guidelines and to protect our employees, including enhanced deep cleaning, staggered shifts, temperature checking, use of face masks, practicing social distancing and limiting non-employees at our locations, amongst other safety related policies and procedures. Many of our office workers in our manufacturing and distribution facilities, as well as the corporate headquarters, continue to work remotely, where possible. The senior management, ~~team~~ meets regularly to review and assess the status of the Company's operations and the health and safety of its employees. Notwithstanding the Company's continued efforts, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, health concern risks remain, and we cannot predict whether we or any of our suppliers will experience disruptions, or how long such disruptions would last. It also remains unclear how various national, state, and local governments will react if the distribution of vaccines is slower than expected or new variants of the virus become more dominant.

A significant portion of the Company's total product sales is dependent on USU.S. housing starts and its business, financial condition, and results of operations depends significantly on the level of housing and residential construction activity. We anticipated previously that ~~the effects of responses~~housing starts would continue to ~~the pandemic would have a negative effect on our North America operations.~~grow at slow pace as in prior years. However, single-family housing starts increased ~~from April's and May's lower levels and increased~~significantly from prior-year's level of starts. ~~Due to the~~The return of ~~a nationwide home center customer, increased housing starts~~Lowe's and a strong home repair and remodel market, October 2020 sales were up compared to October 2019 and on pace for a 3% increase in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

The remaining quarters of this fiscal year and the comparable periods of 2020 will include the return of Lowes and, as a result, we don't think sales volumes for the remainder of 2021 will grow at the same year-over-year rate as the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. WeIn the short-term, operating profits are ~~uncertain~~expected to improve on increased selling prices and lower average material costs as higher costs of raw material purchases are absorbed into current product costs.

Management continues to monitor the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Unlike lumber or other products that have a more direct correlation to U.S. housing starts, our products are used to a greater extent in areas that are subject to natural forces, such as seismic or wind events. Our products are generally used in a sequential process that follows the construction process. Residential and commercial construction begins with the foundation, followed by the wall and the roof systems, and then the installation of our products, which flow into a project or a house according to these schedules.

Our sales also tend to be seasonal, with operating results varying from quarter to quarter. With some exceptions, our sales and income have historically been lower in the first and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters of a fiscal year, as our customers tend to purchase construction materials in the late spring and summer months for the construction season. Weather conditions, such as extended cold or wet weather, which affect and sometimes delay installation of some of our products, could negatively affect our results of operations. Political, economic events such as tariffs and the possibility of additional tariffs on imported raw materials or finished goods or such as labor disputes can also have an effect on our gross and operating profits as well as the amount of inventory on-hand. Our operations can also be affected by a volatile steel market. Changes in raw material cost could negatively affect our gross profit margins depending on the timing of raw material purchases or how much sales prices can be increased to offset higher raw material costs.

Our operations expose us to risks associated with pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic which spread from China to many other countries including the United States. The pandemic resulted in governments around the world implementing stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, social distancing guidelines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions, business curtailments, school closures, and other measures. In addition, governments and central banks in several parts of the world had enacted fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to counteract the impacts of the pandemic.

Notwithstanding our continued operations and third quarter performance, the COVID-19 pandemic may have negative impacts on our operations, supply chain, transportation networks and customers, which may compress our margins, including as a result of preventative and precautionary measures that we, other businesses and governments are taking. Any resulting economic downturn could adversely affect demand for our products and contribute to volatile supply and demand conditions affecting prices and volumes in the markets for our products, services and raw materials. The progression of this matter could also negatively impact our business or results of operations through the temporary closure of our operating locations or those of our customers or suppliers, among others.

In addition, the ability of our employees and our suppliers’ and customers’ employees to work may be significantly impacted by individuals contracting or being exposed to COVID-19, or as a result of the control measures noted above, which may significantly hamper our production throughout the supply chain and constrict sales channels. The extent to which COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information concerning the severity of the pandemic and the effectiveness of actions globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Our consolidated financial statements and discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations reflect estimates and assumptions made by management as of September 30, 2020. Events and changes in circumstances arising after September 30, 2020, including those resulting from the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic, will be reflected in management’s estimates for future periods.U.S.

ERP Integration

In July 2016, our Board of Directors ~~(the “Board”)~~ approved a plan to replace our current in-house enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) and externally sourced accounting platforms with a fully integrated ERP platform from SAP America, Inc. (“SAP”) in

multiple phases by location at all facilities plus our headquarters, with a focus on configuring, instead of customizing, the standard SAP modules.

Meeting the ~~2022~~ goal is highly dependent on the lifting of current travel restrictions, which are the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we believe the SAP implementation will be beneficial to the Company over time, annual operating expenses have and are expected to continue to increase through 2024 as a result of the SAP implementation, primarily due to increases in training costs and the depreciation of previously capitalized costs. ~~As of September 30, 2020, we have capitalized $19.4 million and expensed $34.9 million of the costs, including $5.3 million in depreciation expense of capitalized costs.~~

Business Segment Information

Historically our North America segment has generated more revenues from wood construction products compared to concrete construction products. During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2020,~~2021, the return of ~~a nationwide home center customer,~~Lowe's, favorable weather, increased home improvement activity and increased housing starts resulted in higher sales volumes over the same time period of ~~2019, which had extremely wet weather in the first half of the year.~~2020. Our wood construction product net sales increased ~~22.6%~~22.4% for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, primarily due to increased sales volumes in connection with the return of ~~a nationwide home center customer~~Lowe's and increased housing starts and repair and remodel activity, which resulted in increased sales to some of our other ~~sales distributor~~distribution channels. Our concrete construction product

net sales increased ~~1.9%~~9.6% for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, primarily due to higher sales volumes. Operating profits increased due to higher sales, lower cost of goods sold, mostly due to lower ~~material,~~labor and factory costs, partly offset by higher operating expenses including primarily stock-based compensation expense. If current economic conditions continue and factoring in recently announced sales price increases, we believe North America operating margins could be higher in 2021 compared to 2020. However, increased steel costs and product sourcing complications could result in lower operating ~~expenses. In operating expenses, increases in cash profit sharing and stock-based compensation expense were partially offset by reductions in consulting fees and travel related expense.~~margins towards the end of 2021 or early 2022.

Our Europe segment also generates more revenues from wood construction products than concrete construction products. Europe net sales increased for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, primarily due to ~~benefiting from~~higher sales volumes in local currency and were positively affected by approximately ~~$2.1~~$3.6 million ofin foreign currency ~~translations for some Europe~~translation related to Europe's currencies strengthening against the United States dollar. ~~In local currency, Europe net sales increased due to higher volumes.~~ Wood construction product sales increased ~~14.2%~~37.8% for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Concrete construction product sales are mostly project based, and net sales ~~decreased 15.2%~~increased 20.6% for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. Gross margins ~~decreased,~~increased, mostly due to ~~higher labor,~~lower factory, warehouse and shipping costs, partly offset by ~~lower~~higher material ~~and factory and overhead~~ costs. Operating expenses increased, primarily due to higher cash profit sharing and stock-based compensation expense. If current economic conditions continue and factoring in recently announced sales price increases, we believe Europe operating margins could be higher in 2021 compared to 2020. However, increased steel costs and product sourcing complications could offset sales price increases, negatively affecting operating margins towards the end of 2021 or early 2022.

Our Asia/Pacific segment has generated revenues from both wood and concrete construction products. We believe that the Asia/Pacific segment is not significant to our overall performance.

Business Outlook

~~At the time~~On February 8, 2021, the Company ~~withdrew its outlook it was unable to forecast its~~provided a full-year ~~outlook with reasonable accuracy given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the related impact on the Company's business. On July 27, 2020, the~~outlook. The Company ~~reinstated its 2020 full-year outlook originally provided on February 3, 2020 and~~ is ~~again~~ updating its full year outlook, primarily reflecting ~~three quarters~~one quarter of actual results, as well as improved visibility on the progression of pandemic-related restrictions and the impact of those restrictions on the Company’s operations. Based on business trends and conditions as of ~~the day we announced our third quarter earnings,~~today, April 26, the Company's outlook for the full fiscal year ending December 31, ~~2020~~2021 is as follows:

•~~Net sales are estimated to increase in the range of 9.0% to 10.0% compared to the full year ended December 31, 2019.~~

•~~Gross~~Operating margin is estimated to be in the range of ~~approximately 45.0%~~19.5% to ~~46.0%.~~

•~~Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, are estimated to be in the range of approximately 25.0% to 26.5%~~22.0%.

•The effective tax rate is estimated to be in the range of ~~24.5%~~25.0% to 26.0%, including both federal and state income tax rates.

•

Additionally, we believe the Company’s gross margins and operating margins for the 2021 fiscal year will pull back from our expectations for the full year 2020 as we anticipate costs directly relatedCapital expenditures are estimated to ~~materials, production headcount, customer engagement and investments in business growth will increase in 2021.~~

While the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on general economic conditions remains uncertain, the Company is continuing to monitor the impact of the pandemic on its operations and financial condition, which was not significantly adversely impactedbe in the ~~third quarter~~range of ~~2020, primarily due~~$50 million to the return of a nationwide home center customer, and increased housing starts and home improvement activity. Please note that ongoing uncertainties surrounding the impact of the pandemic on Simpson’s business, which may include the economic impact on its operations, raw material costs, consumers, suppliers, vendors, and other factors outside of its control, may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial outlook.
