(Unaudited)

1.                                      Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). Investments in 50% or less owned affiliates are accounted for using either cost or the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Interim Period Reporting

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Annual Report”).

The unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth therein, in accordance with GAAP. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The Company’s quarterly results fluctuate. As a result, the Company believes the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, net of applicable provision for discounts, returns and incentives, whether actual or estimated, based on the Company’s experience. This generally occurs when products are shipped to the customer in accordance with the sales agreement or purchase order, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer, collectability is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. The Company’s general shipping terms are F.O.B. shipping point, where title is transferred and revenue is recognized when the products are shipped to customers. When the Company sells F.O.B. destination point, title is transferred and the Company recognizes revenue on delivery or customer acceptance, depending on terms of the sales agreement. Service sales, representing after-market repair and maintenance, engineering activities, software license sales and services and lease income, though significantly less than 1% of net sales and not material to the consolidated financial statements, are recognized as the services are completed or the software products and services are delivered. If actual costs of sales returns, incentives and discounts were to significantly exceed the recorded estimated allowance, the Company’s sales would be adversely affected.

Net Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per-share calculations for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) to diluted EPS:

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

With the approval of the Company’s stockholders on April 26, 2011, the Company adopted the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan amended and restated in their entirety, and incorporated and superseded, both the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”), which was principally for the Company’s employees, and the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 1995 Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”), which was for its independent directors. Options previously granted under the 1994 Plan or the 1995 Plan were not affected by the adoption of the 2011 Plan and continue to be governed by the 1994 Plan or the 1995 Plan, respectively.

Under the 1994 Plan, the Company could grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The Company, however, granted only non-qualified stock options under both the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan. The Company generally granted options under each of the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan once each year. The exercise price per share of each option granted under the 1994 Plan equaled the closing market price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on the day preceding the day that the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors met to approve the grant of the options. The exercise price per share under each option granted under the 1995 Plan was at the fair market value on the date specified in the 1995 Plan. Options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date. Options granted under the 1994 Plan typically vest evenly over the requisite service period of four years and have a term of seven years. The vesting of options granted under the 1994 Plan will be accelerated if the grantee ceases to be employed by the Company after reaching age 60 or if there is a change in control of the Company. Options granted under the 1995 Plan were fully vested on the date of grant. Shares of common stock issued on exercise of stock options under the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan are registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, although the Company currently intends to award primarily restricted stock units and to a lesser extent, if at all, non-qualified stock options. The Company does not currently intend to award incentive stock options or restricted stock. Under the 2011 Plan, no more than 16.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued (including shares already issued) pursuant to all awards under the 2011 Plan, including on exercise of options previously granted under the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan. Shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2011 Plan are registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

The following table represents the Company’s stock option and restricted stock unit activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

The amounts included in cost of sales, research and development and other engineering, selling, or general and administrative expense depend on the job functions performed by the employees to whom the stock options and restricted stock units were awarded.

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted or restricted stock units awarded are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company’s experience.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs 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 for 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 the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

9

The Company’s investments consisted of only United States Treasury securities and money market funds, which are the Company’s primary financial instruments, maintained in cash equivalents and carried at cost, approximating fair value, based on Level 1 inputs. The balance of the Company’s primary financial instruments was as follows:

The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s line of credit is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and is calculated based on borrowings with similar maturities, current remaining average life to maturity and current market conditions.

Income Taxes

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate to measure the tax benefit or tax expense recognized in each interim period. The effective tax rate decrease from the third quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2013 was primarily due to reduced valuation allowances taken on lower third quarter 2013 operating losses in the Europe and Asia/Pacific segments. The effective tax rate decrease from the first nine months of 2012 to the first nine months of 2013 was primarily due to $2.3 million in non-deductible acquisition costs recorded in 2012.

The following table presents the Company’s effective tax rates and income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Acquisitions

In January 2012, the Company purchased all of the shares of S&P Clever, for $58.1 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. S&P Clever manufactures and sells engineered materials to repair, strengthen and restore concrete, masonry and asphalt and has operations in Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Poland, The Netherlands and Austria. Payments under the purchase agreement included cash payments of $57.5 million and contingent consideration of $0.6 million payable over a three-year period if sales goals are met. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has increased its presence in the infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction markets in Europe. The Company’s measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed included cash and cash equivalents of $6.8 million, other current assets of $10.8 million, non-current assets of $53.4 million, current liabilities of $12.6 million and non-current liabilities of $0.2 million. Included in non-current assets is goodwill of $19.3 million, which was assigned to the Europe segment and is not deductible for tax purposes, intangible assets of $15.7 million, the amortization of which is not deductible for tax purposes and long-lived intangibles of $4.8 million related to in-progress product development, which will be amortized when the Company markets the product for sale. The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 9.8 years.

In March 2012, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of CarbonWrap Solutions, L.L.C. (“CarbonWrap”) for $5.5 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. CarbonWrap develops fiber-reinforced polymer products primarily for infrastructure and transportation projects. Payments under the purchase agreement totaled $5.3 million in cash and contingent consideration of $0.2 million paid on resolution of specified post-closing contingencies to the principal officer of CarbonWrap, who is now employed by the Company. The Company’s measurement of assets acquired included goodwill of $3.5 million, which was assigned to the North America segment and is deductible for tax purposes, and intangible assets of $1.7 million, which is subject to tax-deductible amortization. Net tangible assets consisting of accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and prepaid expenses accounted for the balance of the purchase price. The weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 15.6 years.

10

In December 2012, the Company completed a transaction with Keymark Enterprises LLC (“Keymark”). In 2011, the Company had purchased various software assets from Keymark and had engaged Keymark to perform certain software development for the Company, for which the Company had agreed to compensate Keymark at rates equal to a multiple of Keymark’s costs. In the 2012 transaction, the Company paid Keymark $9.1 million, hired thirty-nine Keymark employees to perform the development work that Keymark had previously been engaged to perform and purchased from Keymark various assets needed for that work. This transaction also included termination of the 2011 software development agreement and the Company will be entitled to certain software license revenue that was previously received by Keymark. The Company’s December 2012 provisional measurement of the assets acquired included intangibles of $8.9 million. The provisional measurement of the assets acquired was corrected in the third quarter to include goodwill of $5.9 million and intangibles of $3.0 million, both of which are subject to tax-deductible amortization. Equipment and prepaid expenses accounted for the balance of the purchase price, which was assigned to the North American segment.

In February 2013, the Company purchased certain assets relating to the TJ® ShearBrace (“ShearBrace”) product line of Weyerhaeuser NR Company (“Weyerhaeuser”) for $5.3 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. The ShearBrace is a line of pre-fabricated shearwalls that complements the Company’s Strong-Wall shearwall, and is sold throughout North America. The Company’s provisional measurement of assets acquired included goodwill of $2.6 million that has been assigned to the North America segment, and intangible assets of $1.9 million, both of which are subject to tax-deductible amortization. Net tangible assets consisting of inventory and equipment accounted for the balance of the purchase price.

Under the business combinations topic of the FASB ASC, the Company accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations and ascribed acquisition-date fair values to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Provisional fair value measurements were made in the fourth quarter of 2012 for acquired Keymark assets and in the first quarter of 2013 for acquired ShearBrace assets. Adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the acquisition date, as information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. Fair value of intangible assets was based on Level 3 inputs. The Company expects the measurement process for each acquisition to be finalized within a year of its acquisition date.

Pro-forma financial information is not presented as it would not be materially different from the information presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Out-of-Period Adjustments

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $0.7 million net of tax in out-of-period adjustments, which had the effect of increasing net income by $0.7 million in Q3 2013. The adjustments related to the Keymark acquisition and capitalization of software development costs. The effect of these out-of-period adjustments on previously reported periods was that net income was understated for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, by $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The correction of these errors in the third quarter of 2013 is not material to the current period or any prior period. 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to the comprehensive income guidance requiring reporting of the effect of significant reclassifications out of other comprehensive income on the respective lines in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional information about these amounts. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those years. The implementation of this amended accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to the income taxes guidance that applies to all entities. It is expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. Additionally, the amendment intends to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position relating to net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards. The Company’s early adoption and implementation of this amended accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the ASC), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.                                      Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Property, plant and equipment, net, consisted of the following:

In July 2013, the vacant facility in Hungen, Germany, was sold for its approximate carrying cost. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that the carrying value of its Ireland facility, associated with the Europe segment, exceeded its net estimated realizable value, and therefore recorded an impairment charge, within general and administrative expenses, of $1.0 million, equal to the amount by which carrying value exceeded net estimated realizable value. In September 2013, the facility in Ireland was sold at an additional loss of $0.7 million. See note 10.

12

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company determined that $1.6 million in development costs incurred during 2013 met the criteria for capitalization as internally developed, internal-use software, resulting in an immaterial adjustment in each of the first and second quarters of 2013. The Company will depreciate the capitalized software costs over three years.

5.                                      Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

Goodwill was as follows:
