NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The Company is subject to reduced activity in the first and fourth quarters as colder, inclement weather reduces order rates from end markets it serves. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation. Refer to Note 2 for a summary of ASUs we adopted during 2017 and the related financial statement impact.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted



Standard	Description	Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2016-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting	The standard simplifies the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.	The Company has adopted all amendments included in this standard under each required transition method. The Company concluded there were no material changes to prior periods, except for the following: the Company (a) reclassified its prior interim period excess tax benefit for stock compensation of $941,000 on its consolidated statement of cash flows from a financing activity to an operating activity; and (b) recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $254,000 as an increase to retained earnings and decrease to additional paid-in capital on the Company's consolidated statement of shareholders' equity as of January 1, 2017 to reflect the change in value for a restricted stock unit liability award as of December 31, 2016, as if the award had been classified as an equity award since its respective grant date. Date of adoption: Q1 2017

Table of Contents



Standard	Description	Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment	The standard eliminates the "Step 2" analysis to determine the amount of impairment realized when a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value in its "Step 1" analysis of accounting for impairment of goodwill. The impairment charge would be the amount determined in "Step 1." The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017.	The Company has adopted this standard and it did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Date of Adoption: Q1 2017
ASU No. 2017-07 Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost	The standard requires an employer to recognize the service cost component of net periodic pension costs and net periodic postretirement benefit costs in the same line item(s) as other compensation costs from services rendered by pertinent employees during the period. Other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The provisions of this standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance.	The Company has adopted this standard and has applied it retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component, as well as, other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in our statement of operations. The adoption decreased selling, general, and administrative expense by $159,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $479,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and comparably increased other expense by the same amounts, respectively. This guidance did not have any impact on our balance sheet or our statement of cash flows. Date of Adoption: Q1 2017

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted



Standard	Description	Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) And All Related ASUs	The standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The provisions of the standard, as well as all subsequently issued clarifications to the standard, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard can be adopted using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach.	The Company currently believes the most significant impact of this standard upon adoption relates to the revenue recognition for custom fabricated products within the Company's Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment. Under this standard, the Company expects to recognize revenue on an over time basis on custom fabricated products in the Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment which is a change from our current revenue recognition policy of point-in-time basis. The Company expects revenue recognition related to the remaining Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment, Residential Products segment and Renewable Energy and Conservation segment to remain substantially unchanged upon adoption of this standard. The Company has identified and is in the process of implementing appropriate changes to the Company's business processes, systems and internal controls to support recognition and disclosure under this standard. The Company currently anticipates adopting the modified retrospective transition method approach. The Company has not yet completed the process of quantifying the effects of any changes that will result from adoption. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2018

Standard	Description	Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters
ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842)	The standard requires lessees to recognize most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, but record expenses on the statement of operations in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements and requires a modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases, whereby the standard will be applied to the earliest year presented. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.	The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including the impact on the Company's current lease portfolio from both a lessor and lessee perspective. The adoption of this standard will primarily result in an increase in the assets and liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and related disclosures. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2019
ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments	The standard provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues to reduce diversity in reporting. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.	The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this standard and has not yet determined its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2018
ASU No. 2016-16 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory	The standard allows an entity to recognize income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The provisions of this standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance.	The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this standard and has not yet determined its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2018

The Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 9, 2015 (the "Senior Credit Agreement") was amended to convert our secured asset based credit facility into a secured cash flow revolver, and terminates on December 9, 2020.

The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $300 million. The Company has the option to request additional financing from the banks to either increase the revolving credit facility to $500 million or to provide a term loan of up to $200 million. The Senior Credit Agreement contains financial covenants. As of September 30, 2017, the Company is in compliance with all covenants.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement are secured by the trade receivables, inventory, personal property, equipment, and certain real property of the Company’s significant domestic subsidiaries. Interest rates on the revolving credit facility are based on the LIBOR plus an additional margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans based on the Total Leverage Ratio.

In addition, the revolving credit facility is subject to an undrawn commitment fee ranging between 0.20% and 0.30% based on the Total Leverage Ratio and the daily average undrawn balance.

Standby letters of credit of $11,216,000 have been issued under the Senior Credit Agreement on behalf of the Company as of September 30, 2017. These letters of credit reduce the amount otherwise available under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $288,784,000 of availability under the revolving credit facility. No borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

10. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

On May 6, 2016, the shareholders of the Company authorized the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("Non-Employee Directors Plan"). The Non-Employee Directors Plan is a compensation plan that allows the Company to grant awards of shares of the Company's common stock to non-employee Directors of the Company. In connection with the Non-Employee Directors Plan, the Company adopted a new stock deferral plan, the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock Deferral Plan ("Deferral Plan"). The Deferral Plan permits non-employee Directors of the Company to defer receipt of shares of common stock which the non-employee Director is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of the Non-Employee Directors Plan.

On May 7, 2015, the shareholders of the Company authorized the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and simultaneously amended the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan") to terminate issuance of further awards from the Prior Plan. The Plan is an incentive compensation plan that allows the Company to grant equity-based incentive compensation awards to eligible participants. Awards under the Plan may be in the form of options, restricted shares, restricted units, performance shares, performance stock units, and rights.

Equity Based Awards - Settled in Stock

The following table provides the number of stock unit awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, which will convert to shares upon vesting, along with the weighted average grant date fair values:



	2017			2016
Awards	Number of Awards	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Awards	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Performance stock units	108,748	$	42.72	—	$	—
Restricted stock units	120,048	$	37.14	139,982	$	25.15
Options	25,000	$	42.35	—	$	—

Restricted shares	2,034	$	34.42	3,185	$	29.30

Included in the performance stock units disclosed above are 78,482 units awarded in February 2017 and 5,266 units award in April 2017 for which the final number of units that will convert to shares will be determined based on the Company’s actual return on invested capital (ROIC) relative to the ROIC targeted for the performance period ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, included in the performance stock units disclosed above, there were 20,000 units awarded in February 2017 and 5,000 units award in April 2017. For these awards, the final number of shares to be issued to the recipient will be determined based upon the ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return over a three (3) year performance period ended February 1, 2020 compared to the total shareholder return of companies in the S&P Small Cap Industrial Sector over such period.

Performance Stock Units - Settled in Cash

The Company awarded performance stock units ("PSUs") that will convert to cash after three years based upon a one year performance period in 2016 and 2015. The cost of these awards is recognized over the requisite vesting period. The PSUs earned over the performance period are determined based on the Company’s actual return on invested capital (ROIC) relative to the ROIC targeted for the performance period.

During the 2016 performance period, the participants earned an aggregate of 256,000 PSUs, representing 200% of the targeted

2016 award of 128,000. This award will convert to cash payable in January 2019.

During the 2015 performance period, the participants earned an aggregate of 438,000 PSUs, representing 200% of the targeted 2015 award of 219,000. This award will convert to cash payable in January 2018.

The following table summarizes the compensation expense recognized for the PSUs, which will convert to cash, for the three and nine months ended September 30, (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017			2016		2017		2016
PSUs compensation (recovery) expense	$	(405	)	$	4,148	$	1,673	$	7,889

Management Stock Purchase Plan

The Management Stock Purchase Plan ("MSPP") provides participants the ability to defer a portion of their compensation, which deferral is converted to restricted stock units, and credited to an account. Under the MSPP, the Company provides a matching award in restricted stock units equal to a percentage of the employees' compensation. Matching awards are not provided to directors. The account represents a share-based liability converted to and settled in cash which is payable to participants upon retirement or a termination of their service to the Company.

The following table provides the number of restricted stock units credited to active participant accounts and the payments made with respect to restricted stock units issued under the MSPP during the nine months ended September 30,



	2017		2016
Restricted stock units credited	90,754		192,380
Share-based liabilities paid (in $1000s)	$	2,392	$	2,753

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:


•	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.


•	Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company’s only financial instrument for which the carrying value differs from its fair value is long-term debt. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of outstanding debt net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $218,700,000 and $219,898,000, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $209,825,000 and $209,637,000, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s 6.25% Notes is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices adjusted for unamortized debt issuance costs.

12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

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

13. EXIT ACTIVITY COSTS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

Table of Contents

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

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

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

The following tables set forth the asset impairment charges and exit activity costs incurred by segment during the three and nine months ended September 30, related to the restructuring activities described above (in thousands):

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

14. INCOME TAXES

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



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Provision for income taxes	$	11,184		$	8,952		$	21,090		$	12,131
Effective tax rate	35.2		%	39.4		%	35.8		%	22.7		%

The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was greater than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes and $2.2 million of pretax losses generated by the European residential solar racking business for which no tax benefit has been recorded, as such benefit is not expected to be realizable, partially offset by net deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes and unfavorable discrete items. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items partially offset by state taxes.

The Company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $11.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to the effect of a worthless stock deduction and an associated bad debt deduction of inter-company debt resulting from the sale of its European industrial manufacturing business to a third party. The amount of this benefit was subsequently adjusted and reduced by $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Certain information set forth herein includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and, therefore, are or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, competition, strategies and the industries in which we operate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industries in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained herein. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industries in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements that we make herein speak only as of the date of those statements, and we undertake no obligation to update those statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Overview

Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading manufacturer and distributor of building products for the industrial, transportation infrastructure, residential housing, renewable energy and resource conservation markets. Our business strategy is designed to significantly elevate and accelerate the growth and financial returns of the Company. We believe this can be achieved, in part, from a transformational change in the Company’s portfolio, as well as, the implementation of the strategy described below. Our business strategy has four key elements, or "pillars," which are: operational excellence, product innovation, portfolio management, and acquisitions as a strategic accelerator. We strive to deliver best-in-class, sustainable value creation for our shareholders for the long-term.

Operational excellence is our first pillar in this strategy. 80/20 simplification ("80/20") is a core part of the operational excellence pillar and is based on the analysis that 25% of the customers typically generate 89% of the revenue in a business, and 150% of the profitability. Through analysis of data generated by our 80/20 practices, we are focusing on our largest and best opportunities (the “80”) and eliminating complexity associated with less profitable opportunities (the “20”) in order to generate more earnings year over year, at a higher rate of return with a more efficient use of capital.

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

The second pillar of our strategy is portfolio management, which is a natural adjunct to the 80/20 initiative. Using the 80/20 process, we conduct strategic reviews of our customers and end markets, and allocate leadership time, capital and resources to the platforms and businesses with the highest revenue and margin potential. Following the sale of our European industrial manufacturing business to a third party in April 2016, we decided in December 2016 to exit our small European residential solar racking business and U.S. bar grating product line, both of which proceeded as planned. These portfolio changes have helped contribute to the Company's realization of a higher rate of return on invested capital in 2016. We have now acted on all near-term portfolio assessments and expect no additional changes in 2017 while we continue to position our resources on more attractive projects and markets.

Table of Contents

Product innovation is our third strategic pillar. Innovation is centered on the allocation of new and existing resources to opportunities that we believe will produce sustainable returns. Our focus is on driving top line growth with new and innovative products. We are focused on those products and technologies that have relevance to the end-user and can be differentiated from our competition. Our initiatives will be tailored toward reallocating sales and marketing talent to target specific end user groups in order to better understand their needs and the various market opportunities that may be available. This effort is expected to produce ideas and opportunities that generate profitable growth. Our focus on innovation is centered on four markets: postal, parcel and storage solutions; residential air management; infrastructure; and renewable energy. These respective markets are expected to grow based on demand for: centralized mail and parcel delivery systems; zero carbon footprint homes; the need for repairs to elevated bridges that are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete; and energy sources not dependent on fossil fuels.

The fourth pillar of our strategy is acquisitions. We have targeted four key markets in which to make strategic acquisitions which are served by existing platforms within the Company. The existing platforms include the same areas in which we are targeting the development of innovative products: postal, parcel and storage solutions; infrastructure; residential air management; and renewable energy. These platforms are all in large markets in which the underlying trends for customer convenience and safety, energy-savings and resource conservation are of increasing importance to consumers and are expected to drive long-term demand. We believe these markets also offer the opportunity for higher returns on our investments than those we have generated in the past. The acquisitions of Rough Brothers Manufacturing, Inc., RBI Solar, Inc., and affiliates, collectively known as "RBI" in June 2015 and more recently, Nexus Corporation ("Nexus") in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, were the direct result of this strategy. We also consider businesses outside of these four markets, as we continually search out opportunities to grow our business in large markets with expected growth in demand for the foreseeable future, where we can add value through our manufacturing experience, 80/20 process and purchasing synergies.

On February 22, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Package Concierge for approximately $19 million subject to a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments provided for in the stock purchase agreement. The acquisition was financed through cash on hand. Package Concierge is a leading provider of multifamily electronic package delivery locker systems in the United States. The results of operations of Package Concierge have been included within the Residential Products segment of the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On February 6, 2017, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its U.S. bar grating product line assets to a third party. The Company had previously announced, on December 2, 2016, its intentions to exit its U.S. bar grating product line and its European residential solar racking business as part of its portfolio management initiative. These businesses contributed a combined $75 million in revenue and pre-tax operating losses of $6 million in 2016. This action resulted in the sale and closing of 3 facilities in early 2017. These assets were a part of our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment.

On October 11, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Nexus for approximately $24 million. The acquisition was financed through cash on hand. Nexus is a leading provider of commercial-scale greenhouses to customers in the United States. The results of operations of Nexus have been included within the Renewable Energy and Conservation segment of the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

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

The Company serves customers primarily throughout North America and, to a lesser extent, Asia. Our customers include major home improvement retailers, wholesalers, industrial distributors, contractors, solar developers and institutional and commercial growers of plants.

Our Residential Products segment services residential repair and remodeling activity and new residential housing construction with products including roof and foundation ventilation products, mail and parcel storage products, rain dispersion products and roof ventilation accessories. This segment's products are sold through major retail home centers, building material wholesalers, distributor groups, residential contractors and directly to the multi-family property management companies.

Our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment focuses on the design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of solar racking systems and commercial, institutional, and retail greenhouse structures. This segment's services and products are provided directly to developers, select distribution channels, and end users/owners.

Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment focuses on a variety of markets including industrial and commercial construction, highway and bridge construction, automotive, airports and energy and power generation markets with products including perimeter security, expanded and perforated metal, plank grating, as well as, expansion joints and structural bearings for roadways and bridges. This segment sells its products through steel fabricators and distributors, commercial and transportation contractors, and original equipment manufacturers.

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

Consolidated net sales increased by $1.8 million, or 0.7%, to $274.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in sales was the result of increased volumes in ongoing revenue streams along with contributions from our recent acquisitions in our Renewable Energy and Conservation and Residential Products Segments, Nexus in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, respectively. Also contributing to the increase was a modest 1.0% increase in pricing to customers. Partially offsetting these increases were the results of divestitures related to the Company’s portfolio management activities during 2016. This included the exit of both the Company's small European residential solar racking business and the Company's U.S. bar grating product line, both of which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016. These divestitures resulted in a decrease in revenues of $17.1 million from the prior year quarter.

Net sales in our Residential Products segment increased 9.7%, or $11.5 million to $129.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $118.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was largely the result of a net increase in volume along with sales generated from the acquisition of Package Concierge and an increase in pricing to customers. The volume increase resulted from demand for our commercial package solutions as well as our roofing-related ventilation and rain dispersion products.

Net sales in our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment increased 7.4%, or $6.1 million to $88.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $82.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was the result of sales generated from the acquisition of Nexus and an increase in volume in our domestic markets. Partially offsetting this increase were the effects of the exit of the Company's small European residential solar racking business and continued softness in our international markets.

Net sales in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment decreased 21.7%, or $15.8 million to $56.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $72.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of the Company's exit from its U.S. bar grating product line. Also a decrease in demand for our infrastructure products as compared to the third quarter in the prior year, which include components for bridges and elevated highways, contributed to the decline in volume due to continued delay in infrastructure projects. We expect this decline to be temporary as backlog and bookings for this business have increased compared to the prior year quarter and the market shows signs of recovery.

Our consolidated gross margin slightly increased to 25.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 24.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was largely the result of portfolio management actions during 2016 in which less profitable businesses or product lines were sold or exited in order to enable the Company to re-allocate leadership, time, capital and resources to the highest potential platforms and businesses. This increase was largely offset by a less favorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $8.3 million, or 20.1%, to $33.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $41.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The $8.3 million decrease was primarily due to $7.6 million of lower performance-based compensation expenses, along with a $2.2 million decrease in senior leadership transition costs. These were partially offset by $2.3 million of additional expense from the acquisitions of Nexus and Package Concierge. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 12.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 15.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The following table sets forth the Company’s income from operations and income from operations as a percentage of net sales by reportable segment for the three months ended September 30, (in thousands):



	2017					2016					Total Change
Income (loss) from operations:
Residential Products	$	23,764		18.4	%	$	19,407		16.5	%	$	4,357
Renewable Energy and Conservation	11,549			13.1	%	16,366			20.0	%	(4,817		)
Industrial and Infrastructure Products	2,554			4.5	%	1,913			2.6	%	641
Unallocated Corporate Expenses	(2,174		)	(0.8	)%	(11,164		)	(4.1	)%	8,990
Consolidated income from operations	$	35,693		13.0	%	$	26,522		9.7	%	$	9,171

Our Residential Products segment generated an operating margin of 18.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 16.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase of $4.4 million of operating profit is due to the benefits of improved operational efficiencies and contributions from the 80/20 initiative.

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

Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment generated an operating margin of 4.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The improvement was largely the result of costs incurred in the prior-year quarter related to our 80/20 simplification initiatives. Partially offsetting this improvement were the effects of lower volumes from our infrastructure products and an unfavorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices.

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $9.0 million from $11.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease from the prior year quarter was largely due to a $7.4 million decrease in performance-based compensation expenses, along with a $2.2 million decrease in senior leadership transition costs.

The Company recorded other expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and other expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to foreign currency fluctuations.

Interest expense modestly decreased by $0.1 million to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

We recognized a provision for income taxes of $11.2 million and $9.0 million, with effective tax rates of 35.2% and 39.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes and $2.2 million of pretax losses generated by the European residential solar racking business for which no tax benefit has been recorded as such benefit is not expected to be realizable, partially offset by net deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 was greater than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due state taxes and unfavorable discrete items.

Consolidated net sales decreased by $47.3 million, or 6.1%, to $728.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in sales was primarily the result of divestitures related to the Company’s portfolio management activities during 2016. The Company sold its European industrial manufacturing business in April 2016 to a third party and exited both the Company's small European residential solar racking business and the Company's U.S. bar grating product line, both of these divestitures commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016. These divestitures resulted in a decrease in revenues of $66.2 million from the prior year. Partially offsetting these divestitures were net sales contributions from our recent acquisitions in our Renewable Energy and Conservation and Residential Products Segments, Nexus in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, respectively. A net decrease in volume of 2.0% in comparable revenue streams nearly offset by a modest 2.0% increase in pricing to customers also contributed to the overall decrease in sales year over year.

Net sales in our Residential Products segment increased 6.9%, or $23.2 million to $361.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $338.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was largely the result of a net increase in volume along with sales generated from the acquisition of Package Concierge and an increase in pricing to customers. The net sales volume increase was due to an increase in demand for our ventilation and roofing products along with increased demand for our multifamily postal and parcel storage products.

Net sales in our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment decreased 1.0%, or $2.0 million to $202.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $204.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was the result of the exit of the Company's small European residential solar racking business and continued softness in our international markets, partially offset by sales generated from the acquisition of Nexus and increased volume in our domestic markets. As expected, total volume declined in the first nine months of 2017 as we entered 2017 with lower levels of backlog,

which resulted in lower sales in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016. Backlog has improved for this segment and now exceeds its prior year levels.

Net sales in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment decreased 29.4%, or $68.6 million to $164.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $233.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in net sales was the combined result of the Company's exit from its U.S. bar grating product line and the divestiture of our European industrial manufacturing business, along with a 5.0% decrease in volume as compared to the same period in the prior year. A decrease in demand for our infrastructure products, which include components for bridges and elevated highways, contributed to the decline in volume due to continued delay in infrastructure projects. We expect this decline to be temporary due to federal and state funding availability and as evidenced by an increase in segment backlog during the current year.

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

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $8.5 million, or 7.2%, to $109.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $118.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The $8.5 million decrease was primarily due to a $11.5 million decrease in performance-based compensation expenses, along with a $1.5 million decrease in senior leadership transition costs. These decreases were partially offset by $5.9 million of additional expense from the acquisitions of Nexus and Package Concierge, along with a $2.9 million increase in portfolio management charges related to our 80/20 initiatives. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 15.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 15.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The following table sets forth the Company’s income from operations and income from operations as a percentage of net sales by reportable segment for the nine months ended September 30, (in thousands):



	2017					2016					Total Change
Income (loss) from operations:
Residential Products	$	61,984		17.2	%	$	52,363		15.5	%	$	9,621
Renewable Energy and Conservation	18,381			9.1	%	34,969			17.1	%	(16,588		)

Consolidated income from operations	$	70,302		9.6	%	$	72,859		9.4	%	$	(2,557	)

Our Residential Products segment generated an operating margin of 17.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 15.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase of $9.6 million of operating profit is primarily due to the benefits of improved operational efficiencies and contributions from the 80/20 initiative.

The Renewable Energy and Conservation segment generated an operating margin of 9.1% in the current year compared to 17.1% in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume, an unfavorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices, along with $2.4 million of reduction of workforce and facility cleanup costs incurred to exit the European solar racking business.

Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment generated an operating margin of 3.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 4.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was largely an unfavorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices, partially offset by a net reduction in costs incurred to exit the Company's U.S. bar grating product line .

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $9.9 million from $25.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $16.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The lower expenses in the current year was primarily due to the decrease in performance-based compensation expenses.

The Company recorded other expense of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Other expense of $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily comprised of the $8.8 million pre-tax loss on the sale of our European industrial manufacturing business, partially offset by net gains on foreign currency transactions.

Interest expense decreased by $0.4 million to $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

We recognized a provision for income taxes of $21.1 million and $12.1 million, with effective tax rates of 35.8% and 22.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes and $2.2 million of pretax losses generated by the European residential solar racking business for which no tax benefit has been recorded as such benefit is not expected to be realizable, partially offset by net deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a discrete tax benefit of $11.4 million resulting from the sale of our European industrial manufacturing business along with net deductible permanent differences, partially offset by state taxes.

Outlook

For the remainder of 2017, we continue to expect generally favorable market conditions for each of our segments and increased bidding activity and continued growth of backlogs in both our Infrastructure business and Renewable Energy & Conservation segment. While we see reason for some caution in certain of our end markets, we are optimistic about the final quarter of the year. We are adjusting our full year guidance of revenues in the $960 million to $965 million range. We are narrowing our full-year earnings guidance within our previous guidance range and expect earnings per share ("EPS") to be between $1.40 and $1.47 per diluted share, comparing favorably to $1.05 in 2016.

Our priorities for the remainder of 2017 will be to accelerate new product development initiatives, seek value-added acquisitions in attractive end markets, and continue to advance our 80/20 projects.

For the fourth quarter of 2017, we expect revenues in the range of $231 million to $236 million, and EPS to be between $0.23 and $0.30 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.24 per share in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our principal capital requirements are to fund our operations' working capital and capital improvements and to fund acquisitions. We will continue to invest in growth opportunities as appropriate while focusing on working capital efficiency and profit improvement opportunities to minimize the cash invested to operate our business. We have successfully generated positive cash flows from operating activities which have funded our capital requirements and recent acquisitions as noted below in “Cash Flows.”

On December 9, 2015, we entered into the Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement") which includes a 5-year, $300 million revolving credit facility and provides the Company with access to capital and improved financial flexibility. As of September 30, 2017, our liquidity of $496.8 million consisted of $208.0 million of cash plus $288.8 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. We believe this liquidity, together with the cash expected to be generated from operations, should be sufficient to fund working capital needs and simplification initiatives that likely will need cash to fund transitions and future growth. We continue to search for strategic acquisitions and larger acquisitions may require additional borrowings and/or the issuance of our common stock.

Our Senior Credit Agreement provides the Company with liquidity and capital resources for use by our U.S. operations. Historically, our foreign operations have generated cash flow from operations sufficient to invest in working capital and fund their capital improvements. As of September 30, 2017, our foreign subsidiaries held $25.2 million of cash in U.S. dollars. We believe cash held by our foreign subsidiaries provides our foreign operations with the necessary liquidity to meet future obligations and allows the foreign business units to reinvest in their operations. These cash resources could eventually be used to grow our business internationally. Repatriation of this cash for domestic purposes could result in significant tax consequences.

Over the long-term, we expect that future obligations, including strategic business opportunities such as acquisitions, may be financed through a number of sources, including internally available cash, availability under our revolving credit facility, new

debt financing, the issuance of equity securities, or any combination of the above. Any potential acquisitions are evaluated based on our acquisition strategy, which includes the enhancement of our existing products, operations, or capabilities, expanding our access to new products, markets, and customers, and the improvement of shareholder value. The recent acquisitions of Nexus Corporation and Package Concierge on October 11, 2016 and February 22, 2017, respectively, were financed through cash on hand.

These expectations are forward-looking statements based upon currently available information and may change if conditions in the credit and equity markets deteriorate or other circumstances change. To the extent that operating cash flows are lower than current levels, or sources of financing are not available or not available at acceptable terms, our future liquidity may be adversely affected.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth selected cash flow data for the nine months ended September 30, (in thousands):



	2017			2016
Cash provided by:
Operating activities of continuing operations	$	48,831		$	102,186
Investing activities of continuing operations	(10,711		)	(297		)
Financing activities of continuing operations	(1,733		)	1,260
Effect of exchange rate changes	1,468			1,055
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	37,855		$	104,204

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we generated net cash from operating activities totaling $48.8 million, composed of net income of $37.8 million plus $20.5 million from non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization, stock compensation, and exit activities, partially offset by an investment in working capital and other net assets of $9.5 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $102.2 million, primarily composed of net income from continuing operations of $41.4 million plus non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization, stock compensation, loss on sale of a business and non-cash exit activity costs of $35.7 million along with a decease in working capital of $25.1 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the cash invested in working capital and other net assets of $9.5 million included a $42.3 and $1.8 million increase in accounts receivable and other current assets and other assets, respectively, partially offset by a $25.1 and $7.5 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities, respectively, as well as a $2.0 million decrease in inventory. The increase in accounts receivable is a result of continued increase in seasonal manufacturing activity. The increase in total other current assets is primarily due to the timing of prepaid expenses. Accounts payable increased due to the seasonal increase in manufacturing activity as well as the timing of quarter end vendor payments.The increase in accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities was largely due to costs related to the timing of customer contracts offset by a decrease in liabilities for equity based incentive plans as well as the timing of interest payments . The decrease in inventory is due to the Company's continued 80/20 simplification process efforts.

Senior Credit Agreement and Senior Subordinated Notes

Table of Contents

Our Senior Credit Agreement is committed through December 9, 2020. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement are secured by the trade receivables, inventory, personal property, equipment, and certain real property of the Company’s significant domestic subsidiaries. The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $300 million. The Company can request additional financing from the banks to increase the revolving credit facility to $500 million or to provide a term loan of up to $200 million subject to conditions set forth in the Senior Credit Agreement. The Senior Credit Agreement contains three financial covenants. As of September 30, 2017, the Company is in compliance with all three covenants.

Interest rates on the revolving credit facility are based on the LIBOR plus an additional margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans based on the Total Leverage Ratio. In addition, the revolving credit facility is subject to an undrawn commitment fee ranging between 0.20% and 0.30% based on the Total Leverage Ratio and the daily average undrawn balance.

As of September 30, 2017, we had $288.8 million of availability under the Senior Credit Agreement net of outstanding letters of credit of $11.2 million. No amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of either September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

In addition to our Senior Credit Agreement, the Company issued $210.0 million of 6.25% Notes in January 2013 which are due February 1, 2021. Provisions of the 6.25% Notes include, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, and distributions from restricted subsidiaries, asset sales, affiliate transactions, dividends, and other restricted payments. Dividend payments are subject to annual limits and interest is paid semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

Off Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
