NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 
1.
Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10-Q) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual financial statements and notes. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 2, 2013. The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 1, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 1, 2013 and March 2, 2013, and the results of operations, comprehensive earnings and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February. Each interim quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the months of May, August and November.

The results of the Company's Brazilian subsidiary within the Architectural Glass segment are reported on a two-month lag. There were no significant intervening events which would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had they been recorded during the three months ended June 1, 2013.

In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 1, 2013, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events which required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

2.
New Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance surrounding the presentation of items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. This guidance requires entities to disclose, either in the notes to the consolidated financial statements or parenthetically on the face of the statement that reports comprehensive income, items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income in their entirety and the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012, Apogee's fiscal 2014. The adoption of this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 did not impact Apogee's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income were not material for the three months ended June 1, 2013.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first three months of fiscal 2014 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Marketable Securities
At June 1, 2013, the Company has investments in municipal bonds of $41.7 million; $29.8 million is current and $11.9 million is non-current. The Company’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), holds $12.3 million of the municipal bonds. Prism insures a portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement. All of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available-for-sale,” are carried at fair value and are reported as short-term available for sale securities or available for sale securities in the consolidated balance sheet.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair values of investments available for sale at June 1, 2013 and March 2, 2013, are as follows:

The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and considers the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. The Company intends to hold the investments until it can recover the full principal amount, and has the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. The Company expects such recoveries to occur prior to the contractual maturities.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. 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.

Amortization expense on these identifiable intangible assets was $0.4 million and $0.7 million for three-month periods ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, respectively. In addition to the amortization expense noted above, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company expensed $0.2 million of debt issue costs that had previously been deferred and were being amortized over the term of the debt previously issued for future investment in the Company's Architectural Glass fabrication facility in Utah. The amortization expense associated with the debt issue costs is included in interest expense while the remainder is in selling, general

Debt
The company maintains a $100.0 million revolving credit facility that expires in October 2017. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of June 1, 2013 or March 2, 2013. The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at June 1, 2013 was $268.1 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $335.8 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, the Company reduces non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities available for sale in excess of $15 million. The Company’s ratio was 0.00 at June 1, 2013. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At June 1, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, $10.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds that had previously been issued for future investment in the Company's Architectural Glass fabrication facility in Utah were redeemed at par. In connection with redeeming this debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company expensed $0.2 million of debt issue costs that had previously been deferred and were being amortized over the term of the debt.

Debt at June 1, 2013 consists of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds, and $0.4 million of other debt. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2014 through 2021. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds approximates carrying value at June 1, 2013 due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Interest payments were $0.2 million for each of the three-month periods ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, and primarily relate to fees associated with our revolving credit facility.

Employee Benefit Plans

Pension Plans
The Company sponsors an unfunded Officers’ Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for the benefit of certain executives and a defined-benefit pension plan, the Tubelite, Inc. Hourly Employees’ Pension Plan. Components of net periodic benefit cost for the plans for the three-month periods ended June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, were as follows:

Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2009, or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2005. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2008, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.

The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits at June 1, 2013 and March 2, 2013, was approximately $6.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The Company records the impact of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax

expense, which is consistent with past practices. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $1.0 million during the next 12 months due to lapsing of statutes.

12.
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Operating lease commitments. As of June 1, 2013, the Company was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for buildings and equipment. Certain leases provide for increased rentals based upon increases in real estate taxes or operating costs. Future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases are:

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Company’s Architectural Services business, the Company is required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to its customers for any non-performance by the Company. At June 1, 2013, $117.1 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $313.3 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as the Company is released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. The Company has never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of the current portfolio of businesses.

Guarantees and warranties. The Company accrues for warranty and claim costs as a percentage of sales based on historical trends and for specific sales credits as they become known and estimable. Actual warranty and claim costs are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual in any given period include the following: improved manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume. The Company’s warranty and claim accruals are detailed below.

Letters of credit. At June 1, 2013, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related to its construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which the Company was obligated as of June 1, 2013, was approximately $25.5 million, all of which have been issued under the credit facility. The Company’s total availability under its $100.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility.

Purchase obligations. The Company has purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of June 1, 2013, these obligations totaled $113.6 million.

Non-compete agreements. The Company has entered into non-compete and consulting agreements associated with current and former employees. As of June 1, 2013, future payments of $0.1 million were committed under such agreements.

Foreign Currency Instruments. The Company has a foreign exchange forward contract with a U.S. dollar notional value of $24.3 million with the objective of reducing the exposure to fluctuations in the euro related to a planned capital equipment purchase. The fair value of this contract was a liability of $0.5 million at June 1, 2013 and is included in the balance sheet caption as other current liabilities. The Company reports the effective portion of the gain or loss on a cash flow hedge as a component of other comprehensive income, and any gain or loss is included in the value of the capital asset and will be recognized in earnings over the life of the asset.

Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company’s construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently

available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

13.
Segment Information
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company expanded the number of reporting segments to four: Architectural Glass, Architectural Services, Architectural Framing Systems and Large-Scale Optical (LSO). Prior year comparative information has been recast to conform to the current reporting segment presentation. The Architectural Glass segment fabricates glass used in customized window and wall systems comprising the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings. The Architectural Services segment designs, engineers, fabricates and installs the walls of glass and windows comprising the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings for new construction and renovation. The Architectural Framing Systems segment designs, engineers, fabricates and finishes the aluminum frames used in customized aluminum and glass window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems comprising the outside skin and entrances of commercial and institutional buildings. The Company has aggregated three operating segments into the Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment based upon their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics. The LSO segment manufactures value-added glass and acrylic products for the custom picture framing market.

The following table presents sales and operating income data for the Company’s four reporting segments, and on a consolidated basis, for the three months ended June 1, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago.

Due to the varying combinations and integration of individual window, storefront and curtainwall systems, the Company has determined that it is impractical to report product revenues generated by class of product, beyond the segment revenues currently reported.

Overview
We are a leader in certain technologies and distinctive solutions for enclosing commercial buildings and framing art. The Company's four reportable segments are: Architectural Glass, Architectural Services, Architectural Framing Systems and Large-Scale Optical (LSO). Our Architectural Glass segment consists of Viracon, a fabricator of coated, high-performance architectural glass for global markets. The Architectural Services segment consists of Harmon, one of the largest U.S. full-service building glass installation and renovation companies, which designs, engineers, fabricates and installs the walls of glass and windows comprising the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings. The Architectural Framing Systems segment companies design, engineer, fabricate and finish the aluminum frames used in customized aluminum and glass window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems comprising the outside skin and entrances of commercial and institutional buildings. We have aggregated three operating segments into the Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment based upon their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics: Wausau Window and Wall Systems, a manufacturer of standard and custom aluminum window systems and curtainwall for the North American commercial construction market; Tubelite, a fabricator of aluminum storefront, entrance and curtainwall products for the U.S. commercial construction industry; and Linetec, a paint and anodize finisher of architectural aluminum and PVC shutters for U.S. markets. Our LSO segment consists of Tru Vue, a manufacturer of value-added glass and acrylic for the custom picture framing and fine art market.

The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 2, 2013 and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes to consolidated financial statements, included therein.

Highlights of First Quarter of Fiscal 2014 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2013
Consolidated net sales increased 16.3 percent, or $25.2 million, for the first quarter ended June 1, 2013, compared to the prior-year period. Approximately 63 percent of the year-on-year increase was due to improved volume and mix in our Architectural Glass Segment, with the remainder largely due to improved volume in our Architectural Services segment.
Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter ended June 1, 2013 was up slightly at 20.3 percent compared to 20.2 percent in the prior-year period. The change in gross margins was due to the favorable margin impact from volume growth and the resulting increase in capacity utilization in the Architectural Glass and Architectural Services segments. These favorable items were largely

16

Table of Contents

offset by lower capacity utilization within the Architectural Framing System segment's window business related to an anticipated gap in the schedule for more complex projects and our LSO segment increased promotional activities and investments for growth in new geographies and markets.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter were up $1.5 million over the prior year, while decreasing as a percent of net sales to 16.9 percent from 18.7 percent in the prior-year period. The increased expense was due to increased salaries and related benefits to support sales growth and cost increases related to geographic expansion.

First-quarter net sales of $74.8 million were up 26.6 percent over prior-year net sales of $59.1 million. The increase in sales was due to improved volume accounting for approximately 20 percentage points, with the remainder due to improved mix of value-added products. Operating income was $1.4 million in the current quarter, compared to a loss of $2.4 million in the prior-year quarter, with operating margins of 1.8 percent compared to negative 4.1 percent in the prior-year quarter. The improvement in margins was due primarily to the improved volume and mix, as well as the impact of better pricing and good operational performance.

First-quarter net sales of $46.5 million improved 19.4 percent over prior-year net sales of $38.9 million, most of which was due to volume growth in expanded geographies and timing of project cost flow. The segment reported an operating loss of $1.0 million in the current quarter, compared to a loss of $2.6 million in the prior-year quarter, with negative operating margins of 2.1 percent compared to negative 6.6 percent in the prior-year quarter. The improvement in operating results and margins was due to increased volume and better margins on projects flowing through revenue, partially offset by costs incurred in the current quarter to support geographic expansion.

First-quarter net sales of $44.4 million were up 4.8 percent over prior-year net sales of $42.4 million, due to improved volume in the storefront and finishing businesses representing an increase of approximately 9 percentage points. This improvement was somewhat offset by lower volume in the window business of approximately 4 percentage points. Operating income of $2.1 million in the current quarter was down 33.3 percent compared to $3.1 million in the prior-year quarter, and operating margins decreased to 4.6 percent compared to 7.3 percent in the prior-year quarter. The decrease in operating income was due to lower sales in the window business related to an anticipated gap in the schedule for more complex projects, resulting in lower capacity utilization. The decreases in the window business profitability was partially offset by the profit on increased volume in the storefront and finishing businesses.

Net sales of $19.5 million for the first quarter were up slightly over prior-year net sales of $19.3 million, driven by increased volume and a positive mix of higher value-added products. Operating income of $4.7 million in the quarter was down 10.8 percent from the prior-year period and operating margins were down 3.3 percentage points to 24.1 percent, compared to 27.4 percent in the prior-year period. The decrease in operating income and margins was due to increased promotional activities and investments for growth in new geographies and markets.

Consolidated Backlog
At June 1, 2013, our consolidated backlog was $301.8 million, compared to $298.3 million at the end of fiscal 2013 and $269.1 million in the prior-year period. We expect approximately $238.3 million, or 79 percent, of our June 1, 2013 backlog to be recognized in fiscal 2014, with the remainder to be recognized in fiscal 2015.
We view backlog as an important statistic in evaluating the level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in our business. However, as backlog is only one indicator, and is not an effective indicator of our ultimate profitability, we do not believe that backlog should be used as the sole indicator of future earnings of the Company.

Operating activities. Cash used in operating activities was $2.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2014, compared to cash used of $7.7 million in the prior-year period. Both fiscal 2014 and 2013 results were negatively impacted by normal seasonal cash outflow in the first quarter as a result of payments made to fund annual incentive compensation plans.

Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash and short-term available for sale securities and short-term restricted investments, less current liabilities) was $68.2 million at June 1, 2013, or 9.4 percent of last 12-month net sales, our key metric for measuring working capital efficiency. This compares to $54.1 million at March 2, 2013, or 7.7 percent of fiscal 2013 net sales, and 9.2 percent at June 2, 2012. The dollar change from year-end was due to working capital outflows for the current quarter as noted above.

Investing Activities. Through the first three months of fiscal 2014, investing activities provided cash of $14.3 million, compared to cash used of $29.8 million in the same period last year. The current year included new capital investments of $1.5 million. We released a net $19.3 million of restricted investments as a result of releasing the $10.0 million of cash held in escrow for the recovery zone facility bonds that was used to redeem the bonds and also releasing $12.0 million of cash collateral to unrestricted cash related to the letter of credit supporting these bonds. These items were slightly offset by $2.8 million of funds held in escrow

for use in the Company's planned capital investments in the Architectural Glass segment business. We increased our investments in marketable securities by $3.6 million for the three-month period.

In fiscal 2013, new capital investments were $9.5 million for growth and productivity improvements, as well as equipment to support new product introductions and maintenance capital. The net position of our investments for the three-month period of fiscal 2013 resulted in $11.1 million in net purchases. Net purchases of $8.3 million for restricted investments during the period were the result of $10.0 million of industrial development bonds (reflected in financing activities) that were made available for current and future investment in our storefront and entrance business in Michigan, the proceeds of which are reported as restricted investments until disbursed.

We expect fiscal 2014 capital expenditures to be $40 to $45 million for investments for growth, productivity and product development capabilities, including a new state-of-the-art coater in our Architectural Glass segment.

We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses, pursue geographic expansion, take actions to manage capacity, further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we completed the temporary shutdown of our Architectural Glass segment business in Utah to align overall capacity with the demand we are expecting over the next two years.

Financing Activities. Total outstanding borrowings at June 1, 2013 were $20.8 million, compared to $30.8 million as of March 2, 2013 and $31.0 million at June 2, 2012. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, $10.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds that had previously been issued for future investment in the Company's Architectural Glass fabrication facility in Utah were redeemed at par.

Debt at June 1, 2013 consists of $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds, and $0.4 million of other debt. The industrial revenue bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2014 through 2021. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 5.8 percent at June 1, 2013, and 8.5 percent at March 2, 2013.

The company maintains a $100.0 million revolving credit facility that expires in October 2017. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of June 1, 2013 or March 2, 2013. The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at June 1, 2013 was $268.1 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $335.8 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, the Company reduces non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities available for sale in excess of $15 million. The Company’s ratio was 0.00 at June 1, 2013. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At June 1, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors increased this authorization by 750,000 shares in January 2008 and by 1,000,000 in October 2008. We have purchased a total of 2,279,123 shares, at a total cost of $29.7 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 970,877 shares under this program, which has no expiration date. There were no share repurchases during the first three months of either fiscal 2014 or 2013.

From time to time, we acquire the use of certain assets, such as warehouses, automobiles, forklifts, vehicles, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment through operating leases. Many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.

We have purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of June 1, 2013, these obligations totaled $113.6 million.

The other obligations in the table above include a foreign exchange forward contract and also include non-competes and consulting agreements with former employees. The foreign exchange forward contract has a U.S. dollar notional value of $24.3 million with the objective of reducing the exposure to fluctuations in the euro related to a planned capital equipment purchase. The fair value of this contract was a liability of $0.5 million at June 1, 2013 and is included in the balance sheet caption as other current liabilities. We report the effective portion of the gain or loss on a cash flow hedge as a component of other comprehensive income, and any gain or loss is included in the value of the capital asset and will be recognized in earnings over the life of the asset.

We expect to make contributions of $0.8 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2014, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
As of June 1, 2013, we had $6.5 million and $1.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We expect approximately $1.0 million of the unrecognized tax benefits to lapse during the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods the remaining unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities will ultimately be settled.

At June 1, 2013, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The Company’s $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds are supported by $21.0 million of letters of credit that reduce availability of funds under our $100.0 million credit facility. The letters of credit by expiration period were as follows at June 1, 2013:

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, which were predominantly issued for our industrial revenue bonds, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At June 1, 2013, $117.1 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $313.3 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.

For fiscal 2014, we believe that current cash on hand and available capacity under our committed revolving credit facility, as well as the expected cash to be generated from future operating activities, will be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments. We have total cash and short-term available for sale securities of $66.9 million, and $74.5 million available under our credit facility at June 1, 2013. We believe that this will provide us with the financial strength to continue our growth strategy as our end markets continue to strengthen.

Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2014 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
Revenue growth in the high single digits over fiscal 2013.
We anticipate earnings per share of $0.90 to $1.00.
Capital expenditures are projected to be $40 to $45 million.

Controls and Procedures
a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
b)
Changes in internal controls: There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 1, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

The Company has been a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company’s construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors

There have been no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 2, 2013.
