Mr. Silberhorn continued, “Our first quarter results were led by exceptional performance in Architectural Glass, building on our progress over the past two years. Through executing our strategy, we've driven sustainable cost and productivity improvements, and shifted our sales mix to emphasize premium solutions that leverage our unique capabilities. These efforts are transforming Glass from an underperforming business to an economic leader that is delivering significantly improved profitability. Framing Systems and Large-Scale Optical both continue to deliver strong execution and operating margins above our targeted levels, while results in Architectural Services were below our expectations this quarter.”

Mr. Silberhorn concluded, “Execution of our strategy continues to drive improved financial performance. We believe our strong market position, improving operational execution, and focus on differentiated product and service offerings will position us to deliver stronger results throughout the market cycle."

Segment Results - First Quarter Fiscal 2024 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2023

Architectural Framing Systems
Architectural Framing Systems net sales grew 0.5%, to $164.2 million, driven by improved pricing and mix, which offset lower volume, as the segment continued to increase focus on target markets where it provides differentiated offerings. Operating income was $19.9 million, or 12.1% of net sales, compared to $23.7 million, or 14.5% of net sales. Operating income in the prior-year quarter benefited from the favorable timing of inventory flows and aluminum prices, which did not repeat in this year's first quarter. Segment backlog2 at the end of the quarter was $221 million, compared to $243 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Architectural Glass
Architectural Glass net sales grew 27.5%, to $97.2 million, driven by improved pricing, higher volume, and a more favorable sales mix, reflecting the segment's strategic shift to emphasize premium, high-performance products. Operating income increased to $16.5 million, or 17.0% of net sales, compared to $5.2 million, or 6.8% of net sales. The higher operating income was primarily driven by improved pricing, favorable mix, and increased volume, partially offset by cost inflation.

Architectural Services
Architectural Services net sales were $89.4 million, compared to $103.4 million, primarily reflecting lower project volume. The segment had an operating loss of $(0.6) million, primarily due the impact of lower estimated profitability levels on certain projects, the impact of lower project volume, and severance costs related to a facility closure. Segment backlog ended the quarter at $709 million, compared to $727 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Large-Scale Optical
Large-Scale Optical net sales were $22.5 million, compared to $25.2 million, primarily reflecting lower volume due to timing of customer orders and customer inventory destocking. Operating income was $5.5 million, or 24.6% of net sales, compared to $6.5 million, or 25.8% of net sales, primarily reflecting the impact of lower net sales.

Financial Condition
Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.3 million, compared to a use of cash of $30.5 million in last year’s first quarter. The improved cash flow was primarily driven by lower working capital requirements compared to the prior year. Capital expenditures were $7.4 million, compared to $5.1 million last year, as the Company increased investments in projects to support its strategy. During the quarter, the Company returned $10.4 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments.

Quarter-end total debt was $170.7 million, down from $261.0 million at the end of last year's first quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were $24.6 million, compared to $15.2 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Outlook
The Company is raising its outlook for full-year diluted EPS to a range of $4.15 to $4.45, up from the previously announced range of $3.90 to $4.25. As a reminder, fiscal 2024 will be a 53-week year, with an extra week in the fourth quarter. Including the extra week of operations, the Company continues to expect flat to slightly declining net sales compared to fiscal 2023, primarily reflecting expected lower volume in Architectural Services and Architectural Framing Systems, partially offset by expected net sales growth in Architectural Glass. The Company continues to expect a long-term average tax rate of approximately 24.5% and capital expenditures in fiscal 2024 between $50 to $60 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release and other financial communications may contain the following non-GAAP measures:

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, minus capital expenditures. The Company considers this measure an indication of its financial strength. However, free cash flow does not fully reflect the Company’s ability to freely deploy generated cash, as it does not reflect, for example, required payments on indebtedness and other fixed obligations.
Net debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as total debt (current debt plus long-term debt) on our consolidated balance sheet, less cash and cash equivalents. The Company considers this measure helpful to evaluate our capital structure and financial leverage, and our ability to fund investing and financing activities.
EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The Company believes this metric provides useful information to investors and analysts about the Company's operating performance.

Backlog is an operating measure used by management to assess future potential sales revenue. Backlog is defined as the dollar amount of signed contracts or firm orders, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process, which is expected to be recognized as revenue. Backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of contract profitability. Backlog should not be used as the sole indicator of future revenue because the Company has a substantial number of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period that are not included in backlog.

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance, measure operational profitability on a consistent basis, and provide enhanced transparency to the investment community. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the reported financial results of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies.

New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. More information concerning potential factors that could affect future financial results is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2023, and in subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
