Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Plan Administrator of the Gibraltar 401(k) Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Gibraltar 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2013 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Gibraltar 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following is a brief description of the Gibraltar 401(k) Plan (the Plan) and is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan Document and Summary Plan Description for more complete information.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan as permitted under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is sponsored by Gibraltar Steel Corporation of New York (the Company), a subsidiary of Gibraltar Industries, Inc., for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company is the Plan Administrator, through the Gibraltar 401(k) Retirement Plan Committee. The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The 401(k) Retirement Plan Committee is responsible for oversight of the Plan and determines the appropriateness of the Plan’s investment offerings, monitors investment performance and reports to the Board of Directors.

Eligibility

All employees of the Company, those affiliates of the Company which have adopted the Gibraltar 401(k) Plan, and employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement that provides for coverage under the Plan, are eligible to participate in the Plan following the completion of six months of participation service. During 2013, the Plan was amended to allow employees of recently acquired businesses to participate in the Plan. In addition, the Plan was further amended to grant prior service credit to certain employees as a result of recent acquisitions. These businesses were acquired by the Company during 2012 and 2013.

Rollover Contributions

As part of the acquisitions made during 2012 and 2013, employees in the acquired businesses were provided the option to have their account balance rolled into the Plan. An aggregate of $3,950,685 was rolled into the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2013 ($431,267 - 2012) and is included in rollovers on the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Participant Contributions

Participants may contribute up to 100% of their annual compensation, not to exceed the ceiling imposed by the Internal Revenue Service of $17,500 and $17,000 for 2013 and 2012, respectively, as prescribed by the Plan Agreement. If a participant is age 50 or over, the ceiling increased to $23,000 and $22,500 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Employer Contribution

The Company matches contributions to the Plan equal to 100% of the first 3% of the participants’ elective deferrals and 50% of the following 2% of the participants’ elective deferrals at the time of salary reduction. The Company match for employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement follows the terms of their respective agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements

Plan Merger

Effective January 1, 2012, the Plan was amended to allow employees of The D.S. Brown Company and Pacific Award Metals, Inc. to participate in the Plan. These businesses were acquired by the Company in 2011. As a result of this merger, the D.S. Brown 401(k) Plan was merged into the Plan and net assets with a fair market value of $12,561,489 were transferred into the Plan on January 3, 2012. In addition, Pacific Awards Metals, Inc. merged the net assets of their two 401(k) Plans into the Plan with fair market values of $547,393 and $6,098,573, respectively, on January 4, 2012. Loan balances in the amount of $651,510 were also transferred into the Plan as a result of the three mergers. During the 2012 plan year, these amounts are included as a transfer of net assets available for benefits in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. There were no plan mergers in 2013.

Administration

On October 1, 2004, the Plan’s Administrator named Fidelity Management Trust Company as Plan Trustee and record keeper. Fidelity Management Trust Company also served as the custodian of the Plan’s assets for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Administrator of the Plan may specify whether the investments of the Trust Fund shall be managed in whole or in part by the Trustee, one or more investment managers, the Administrator, or the participants as provided for by the Trust Agreement.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate, amend, or modify the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA.

Participant Accounts

Separate accounts are maintained for each plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and an allocation of the Company’s contribution and Plan earnings and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting and Forfeitures

Salary reduction contributions and the earnings thereon are at all times fully vested and non-forfeitable. All active participants are 100% vested in employer contributions.

Benefit Payments

Upon retirement, termination of employment, death or disability, participants or their beneficiaries may elect to receive their account balances in a single sum.

Notes to Financial Statements

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow against their vested account balance subject to the provisions specified in the Plan agreement. Notes receivable shall not exceed five years, except for a maximum of ten years for the purchase of a primary residence. The notes receivable are secured by the vested balance in the participant's account and bear interest at the prime rate plus 1%. Principal and interest are required to be repaid in equal installments over the term of the receivable. Notes receivable from participants are valued at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the plan document.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. The Plan invests in investment contracts through one collective trust. As a result, the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the investments in collective trusts as well as the adjustment of the investment in the collective trusts from fair value to contract value relating to the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments and Income Recognition

Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. Participants may change their investment allocation on a daily basis.

The Plan's investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is 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

Gibraltar 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements

measurement date. The Plan’s 401(k) Retirement Plan Committee determines the Plan’s valuation policies utilizing information provided by the investment advisors and custodian. See Note 3 for discussion of the fair value measurements used to value the Plan’s investments.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation included the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

The net appreciation in fair value of investments presented in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits consists of the realized losses or gains and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on those investments. During 2013 and 2012, the Plan's investments appreciated in fair value as determined by quoted market prices as follows:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2013		2012
Shares of registered investment companies	$	12,706,812	$	7,825,618
Employer securities	237,697		188,672
Total	$	12,944,509	$	8,014,290

The fair values of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets are as follows:

Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Plan Expenses

All of the costs of administration of the Plan and Trust are paid by the Company or the Participants. Brokerage commissions and similar costs of acquiring or selling securities (if any) that are incurred by the investment funds are borne by the participant. Origination fees for each loan are also borne by the participant. Investment related expenses are included in net appreciation of fair value of investments.

Reclassification

Certain 2012 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” defines fair value and establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices to 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. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at 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. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Following is a description of the valuation techniques used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Shares of Registered Investment Companies

These investments are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the registered investment companies at year-end. The investments are measured at fair value using quoted prices for identical assets, which are readily available Level 1 inputs.

Common Collective Trusts

These investments are comprised of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts valued based on the net asset value (NAV) of units held by the Plan at year-end. Although the common collective trusts are not available in an active market, the NAV of the units are approximated based on the quoted prices of the underlying investments that are traded in an active market. As a result, the inputs used to determine the fair value of the common collective trusts are classified as Level 2 inputs.

The fund invests in benefit-responsive investment contracts issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions (“Contracts”), fixed income securities, and money market funds. Under the terms of the Contracts, the assets of the fund are invested in fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, U.S. Treasury and agency bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset backed securities, and collective investment vehicles and shares of investment companies that invest primarily in fixed income securities) and shares of money market funds. The objective of the common collective trust is to preserve capital and achieve a competitive level of income over time.

The common collective trusts have no unfunded commitments related to any of these investments, nor any significant restrictions on redemptions. Participant-directed redemptions can be made on any business day and do not have a redemption notice period. Certain events, such as a change in law, regulation, administrative ruling, or employer-initiated termination of the Plan, may limit the ability of the Plan to transact the common collective trust funds at contract value with the issuer. The Plan’s management does not believe that the occurrence of any such events is probable.

Gibraltar 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements

Employer Securities

These investments consist of a fund composed of employer securities valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. As a result, the value of the investment is based on Level 1 inputs.

Cash Equivalents

These investments are primarily composed of money market funds. Money market funds are public investment vehicles valued using $1 for the net asset value and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy using the income approach.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following table provides the assets carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013:

4. TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated August 24, 2012 that the Plan and related Trust, are designed in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed, and is currently being operated, in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believe that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken uncertain tax positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by the IRS.

The year ended December 31, 2010 was subject to audit by the IRS and during the year ended December 31, 2012 a favorable outcome letter was received. The administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011.

5. PARTIES IN INTEREST

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, certain Plan investments are shares of registered investment companies managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company, the Plan’s trustee, and therefore these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan also allows participants to elect to invest in the common stock of Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Transactions in such investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules. Fees incurred by the Plan for the investment management services are included in net appreciation in fair value of the investment, as they are paid through revenue sharing, rather than a direct payment. Investment income from parties-in-interest and interest from participant loans amounted to $10,683,011and

Gibraltar 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements

$5,426,020 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Fees paid by the Plan for loan processing fees amounted to $33,128 and $30,709 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Plan Sponsor pays directly any other fees related to the Plan’s operations.
