Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- We intend to leverage our engineering expertise, deep-rooted relationships with top builders, engineers, contractors, code officials and distributors, along with our ongoing commitment to testing, research and innovation.
- Our commitment to continuous improvement has fostered our core Company ambitions, which we will pursue including:
- We recently announced a greenfield development to replace our leased equipment fabrication and assembly facility in Fulton, Missouri, as well as plans to expand our facility in McKinney, Texas — supporting both maintenance needs and growth objectives to drive efficiencies and advance our key initiatives.
- Tariff and trade policy actions have impacted our results of operations and are expected to continue to do so.
- We expect to take additional pricing actions effective in January 2027 in response to higher steel and other input costs.
- As a result, we expect these initiatives will generate at least $30.0 million in annualized cost savings with approximately $20.0 million in reduced operating expense.
- We believe this will also provide a better approximation of our cash flows compared to operating income.
- Residential and commercial construction begins with the foundation, followed by the wall and the roof systems, and then the installation of our products, which flow into a project or a house according to these schedules.
- Additionally, economic pressures on our customers, including the potential of higher inflation, fluctuations in foreign currencies and consumer confidence, driven by economic concerns or price increases as a result of these events, such as those we previously announced, could reduce demand for our products and services negatively affecting our net sales and profitability in the future.
- In prior years, our sales were heavily seasonal with operating results varying from quarter to quarter depending on weather conditions that could delay construction starts.
- We continue to increase production volumes and expect the facility to support increased vertical integration, service levels and manufacturing flexibility over time.
- We recently announced plans for a greenfield development to replace our leased equipment fabrication and assembly facility in Fulton, Missouri, as well as plans to expand our facility in McKinney, Texas.
