NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1.
Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2015. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three-month period ended May 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended May 30, 2015, we have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined there were no items to recognize or disclose.

2.
New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued a standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, our fiscal 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our financial statements.

We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

3.
Share-Based Compensation
Total share-based compensation expense included in the results of operations was $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the three-month periods ended May 30, 2015 and May 31, 2014, respectively.

Stock Options and SARs
There were no options or SARs issued in the first three months of either fiscal 2016 or 2015. The following table summarizes the award transactions for the three months ended May 30, 2015:

Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $1.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended May 30, 2015 and May 31, 2014, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of securities (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant) exercised was $5.7 million during the three months ended May 30, 2015 and $0.4 million during the prior-year period.

As of May 30, 2015, available for sale securities with a fair value of $1.1 million have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months with unrealized losses of $0.1 million.

During the quarter, the Company invested in a mutual fund holding government short-term securities and commercial paper as a means of deploying excess cash generated from operations while preserving liquidity.

The Company’s wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), holds our municipal bonds. Prism insures a portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement.

The Company tests for other-than-temporary losses on a quarterly basis and considers the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. The Company intends to hold the investments until it can recover the full principal amount, and has the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. The Company expects such recoveries to occur prior to the contractual maturities.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investments at May 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data). The Company does not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents consisted of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Money market funds were measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets.

Short- and long-term securities
Mutual funds were measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets. A portion of our mutual funds are considered a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Commercial paper was measured using inputs based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.

Municipal bonds were carried at fair value based on market prices from recent trades of similar securities and are classified as short-term or long-term based on maturity date.

Debt

Debt at May 30, 2015 consists of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds, $1.2 million on the Canadian revolving credit facility and $0.2 million of other debt. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, borrowings under our U.S. revolving facility mature in fiscal 2020 and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2016 through 2021. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds and revolving credit facility borrowings approximates carrying value at May 30, 2015, due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 7.

The Company maintains a $125.0 million committed revolving credit facility that expires in December 2019. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of May 30, 2015 or February 28, 2015.

This credit facility requires the Company to maintain a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. The Company’s ratio was 0.21 at May 30, 2015. The credit facility also requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth, as defined in the credit facility, based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit facility at May 30, 2015 was $329.1 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $390.9 million. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At May 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

We also maintain a Canadian dollar 4.0 million revolving demand facility available to our Canadian operation. Borrowings under the facility are made available at the sole discretion of the lender and are payable on demand, with interest at rates specified in the credit agreement. The Company classifies any outstanding balances under this demand facility as long-term debt, as outstanding amounts can be refinanced through our committed revolving credit facility. As of May 30, 2015, $1.2 million was outstanding under this facility. No borrowings were outstanding under this facility as of February 28, 2015.

Interest payments were $0.1 million for each of the three months ended May 30, 2015 and May 31, 2014, and primarily relate to fees associated with our revolving credit facility.

Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2012, or U.S. state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2009. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2011, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.

The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $5.0 million at both May 30, 2015 and February 28, 2015. The Company records the impact of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, which is consistent with past practices. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $0.6 million during the next 12 months due to lapsing of statutes.

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Company’s Architectural Services business, the Company is required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to its customers for any non-performance by the Company. At May 30, 2015, $89.2 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $290.8 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as the Company is released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. The Company has never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of its current portfolio of businesses.

Warranties. The Company accrues for warranty and claim costs as a percentage of sales based on historical trends and for specific sales credits as they become known and estimable. Actual warranty and claim costs are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual in any given period include the following: changes in manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume. The Company’s warranty and claim accruals are detailed below.

Letters of credit. At May 30, 2015, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related to its construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which the Company was obligated as of May 30, 2015 was approximately $23.5 million, all of which have been issued under the credit facility. The Company’s total availability under its $125.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility.

Purchase obligations. The Company has purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of May 30, 2015, these obligations totaled $131.4 million.

Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company’s construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

Highlights of First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2015

Net sales
Consolidated net sales increased 13.8 percent, or $29.1 million, for the first quarter ended May 30, 2015 compared to the prior year period, with growth occurring in all operating segments. Sales growth in the Architectural Glass segment contributed approximately 8 percentage points of the increase due to increased volume and improved pricing and mix; growth in the Architectural Framing Systems segment accounted for approximately 4 percentage points of the increase driven mainly by increased volume in the U.S. businesses; and the remaining increase came from increased volume in the Architectural Services segment.

The relationship between various components of operations, stated as a percent of net sales, is illustrated below for the three-month periods of the current and prior fiscal years:

Gross profit
Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 23.2 percent for the quarter ended May 30, 2015 from 19.6 percent in the prior year mainly due to the impact of leveraging volume growth and improved pricing across all three Architectural segments, improved product mix and productivity, and reduced healthcare costs.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses for the first quarter increased $3.7 million to $37.4 million, but decreased as a percentage of net sales to 15.6 percent compared to 15.9 percent in the prior year. The increase in SG&A expense is due to increases in incentive compensation on improved results, sales commissions from higher sales volumes and business development expenses.
Other income, net
Other income was insignificant in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to income of $1.3 million in the prior-year period. The prior year income was due to the receipt of the final distribution for a European business that was discontinued over 15 years ago.
Income tax expense
Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was 33.9 percent, compared to 33.4 percent in the same period last year as a result of timing of resolution of uncertain tax positions.

First quarter Architectural Glass net sales of $101.2 million increased 27.1 percent over prior year net sales due to improving U.S. market conditions driving increased volume and improved pricing and mix.
Operating income grew to $8.3 million in the first quarter, with an operating margin of 8.2 percent. The improvement in profitability over the prior year was driven by operating leverage from increased volume and improved pricing and productivity in the U.S., partially offset by weaker performance in our glass fabrication business in Brazil due to the challenging local economic conditions.

Backlog
Backlog represents the dollar amount of revenues we expect to recognize in the future from firm contracts or orders received. Backlog is not a term defined under generally accepted accounting principles and is not a measure of contract profitability. We view backlog as an important metric in evaluating the level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in our business. However, as backlog is only one indicator, and not an effective indicator of our ultimate profitability, we do not believe backlog should be used as the sole indicator of our future earnings.

We include a project within our backlog at the time a signed contract or a firm purchase order is received, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process. Backlog by reporting segment at May 30, 2015, February 28, 2015 and May 31, 2014 was as follows:

In our Architectural Glass segment, additional capacity and improved productivity have driven shorter lead times for customers, resulting in lower backlog. We expect approximately $311 million, or 66 percent, of our May 30, 2015 total backlog to be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2016 and approximately $160 million, or 34 percent, to be recognized in fiscal 2017 and beyond.

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $20.9 million for the first three months of fiscal 2016, increasing $19.7 million over the prior year due to reduced incremental investment in working capital combined with improved operating results.

Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash and short-term available for sale securities and short-term restricted investments, less current liabilities, excluding current portion of long-term debt) was $98.3 million at May 30, 2015. This compares to $97.5 million at February 28, 2015 and $91.6 million at May 31, 2014. The increase over year-end and the prior year is due to our investment in working capital to support sales growth.

Investing Activities. In the first three months of fiscal 2016, net cash used by investing activities was $43.7 million, compared to $7.4 million in the same period last year. Current year spending included capital investments of $8.8 million and net purchases of short-term marketable securities of $34.1 million.

We expect fiscal 2016 capital expenditures to be approximately $45 to $50 million to increase capacity, manufacturing productivity and product development capabilities, as well as for maintenance.

We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses, pursue geographic expansion, take actions to manage capacity, further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.

Financing Activities. We paid dividends totaling $3.2 million ($0.11 per share) for the three-months ended May 30, 2015. We maintain a $125.0 million committed revolving credit facility as described in Note 9. No borrowings were outstanding under this facility as of May 30, 2015 and May 31, 2014.

During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors increased this authorization by 750,000 shares in January 2008 and by 1,000,000 shares in October 2008. We did not purchase any shares under the program during the first three months of fiscal 2016. We repurchased 27,665 shares under the program during the first three months of fiscal 2015 for a total cost of $0.9 million. We have purchased a total of 2,482,632 shares, at a total cost of $36.5 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 767,368 shares under this program, which has no expiration date.

From time to time, we acquire the use of certain assets, such as warehouses, automobiles, forklifts, vehicles, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment through operating leases. Many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.

We have purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of May 30, 2015, these obligations totaled $131.4 million.

We expect to make contributions of $1.0 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2016, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As of May 30, 2015, we had $5.0 million and $1.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We expect approximately $0.6 million of the unrecognized tax benefits to lapse during the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods the remaining unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities will ultimately be settled.

At May 30, 2015, we had ongoing letters of credit related to industrial revenue bonds and construction contracts that that reduce availability of funds under our credit facility. The letters of credit by expiration period were as follows at May 30, 2015:

In addition to the above letters of credit, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At May 30, 2015, $89.2 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $290.8 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.

We have total cash and short-term available for sale securities of $63.5 million, and $101.5 million available under our committed credit facility at May 30, 2015. We believe that our sources of liquidity will continue to be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments.


Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2016 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
We expect revenue growth of 10 to 15 percent over fiscal 2015.
We estimate gross margin to be approximately 24 percent.
We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 34 percent.
We anticipate earnings per share of $2.10 to $2.25.
We expect capital expenditures in the range of $45 to $50 million.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
b)
Changes in internal controls: There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

The Company has been a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company’s construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

There have been no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015.
