NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 2, 2019. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the six-month period ended August 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Adoption of new accounting standards
At the beginning of fiscal 2020, we adopted the guidance in ASC 842, Leases, following a modified retrospective approach and elected not to restate prior periods. Adoption of the new standard resulted in recording operating lease assets and liabilities of approximately $50 million as of March 3, 2019 and did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and cash flows. Refer to additional information in Note 7.

Accounting standards not yet adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which revises guidance for the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments within its scope. The new standard introduces an approach based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. This ASU is effective for our fiscal year 2021. Entities are required to apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We are currently assessing this ASU's impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent events
We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Receivables
Trade and construction accounts receivable consist of amounts billed and due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their estimated net realizable value. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. This allowance is based on an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience and the age of outstanding receivables. Retainage on construction contracts represents amounts withheld by our customers on long-term projects until the project reaches a level of completion where amounts are released.

Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets consist of retainage, costs and earnings in excess of billings and other unbilled amounts typically generated when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of costs and earnings and other deferred revenue on contracts. Retainage is classified within receivables and deferred revenue is classified within other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

The time period between when performance obligations are complete and when payment is due is not significant. In certain of our businesses that recognize revenue over time, progress billings follow an agreed-upon schedule of values, and retainage is withheld by the customer until the project reaches a level of completion where amounts are released.

The increase in contract assets was due to timing of costs incurred in advance of billings, primarily on a legacy EFCO project. The change in contract liabilities was due to timing of project activity within our businesses that operate under long-term contracts.

Some of our contracts have an expected duration of longer than a year, with performance obligations extending over that timeframe. Generally these contracts are in our businesses with long-term contracts which recognize revenue over time. As of August 31, 2019, the transaction price associated with unsatisfied performance obligations was approximately $775.7 million. The performance obligations are expected to be satisfied, and the corresponding revenue to be recognized, over the following estimated time periods:

Prism insures a portion of our general liability, workers’ compensation and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of these bonds at August 31, 2019, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities, as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty.

Derivative instruments
In August 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on our floating-rate revolving credit facility. As of August 31, 2019, the interest rate swap contract had a notional value of $85 million.

We periodically enter into forward purchase foreign currency cash flow hedge contracts, generally with an original maturity date of less than one year, to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. As of August 31, 2019, we held foreign exchange forward contracts with a U.S. dollar notional value of $27.8 million, with the objective of reducing the exposure to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and the Euro.

These derivative instruments are recorded within our consolidated balance sheets within other current assets and liabilities. Gains or losses associated with these instruments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Fair value measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data). We do not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities.

Fair value of money market funds was determined based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Commercial paper was measured at fair value using inputs based on quoted prices for similar securities in active markets. These assets are included within cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets.

Municipal and corporate bonds
Municipal and corporate bonds were measured at fair value based on market prices from recent trades of similar securities and are classified within our consolidated balance sheets as other current or other non-current assets based on maturity date.

Derivative instruments
The interest rate swap is measured at fair value using unobservable market inputs, based off of benchmark interest rates. Forward foreign exchange contracts are measured at fair value using unobservable market inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points and foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative positions are primarily valued using standard calculations and models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. Industry standard data providers are our primary source for forward and spot rate information for both interest and currency rates.

Debt

As of August 31, 2019, our total debt outstanding was $272.8 million, compared to $245.8 million as of March 2, 2019. During the second quarter ended August 31, 2019, we amended the borrowing capacity of our prior credit facility to be $235 million with a maturity of June 2024 and we established a $150 million term loan with a maturity of June 2020. Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $102.0 million, as of August 31, 2019, and $225.0 million, as of March 2, 2019.

Consistent with our prior facility, our amended revolving credit facility and term loan contains two financial covenants that require us to stay below a maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio and maintain a minimum ratio of interest expense-to-EBITDA. Both ratios are computed quarterly, with EBITDA calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis. At August 31, 2019, we were in compliance with both financial covenants. Additionally, at August 31, 2019, we had a total of $24.7 million of ongoing letters of credit related to industrial revenue bonds, construction contracts and insurance collateral that expire in fiscal years 2021 to 2032 and reduce borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility.

At August 31, 2019, debt included $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds that mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043 and $0.4 million of long-term debt in Canada. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds approximated carrying value at August 31, 2019, due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. All debt would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 4.

We also maintain two Canadian demand credit facilities totaling $12.0 million Canadian dollars. As of August 31, 2019 and March 2, 2019, no borrowings were outstanding under the facilities. Borrowings under these facilities are made available at the sole discretion of the lenders and are payable on demand.

Interest payments were $5.3 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended August 31, 2019 and September 1, 2018, respectively.

7. Leases

We lease certain of the buildings and equipment used in our operations. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Currently, all of our lease arrangements are classified as operating leases. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance in adopting ASC 842, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward our historical lease classification. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one to ten years, some of which include renewal options that can extend the lease for up to an additional ten years at our sole discretion. We have made an accounting policy election not to record leases with an original term of 12 months or less on our consolidated balance sheet and such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In determining lease asset value, we consider fixed or variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. We use a discount rate for each lease based upon an estimated incremental borrowing rate over a similar term. We have elected the practical expedient to account for lease and nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) as a single lease component. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We are not a lessor in any transactions.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Bond commitments
In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in our Architectural Services and Architectural Framing Systems segments, we are required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance. At August 31, 2019, $695.7 million of these types of bonds were outstanding on our backlog and recently completed projects. These bonds do not have stated expiration dates. We have not been required to make any payments under these bonds with respect to our existing businesses.

Warranty and project-related contingencies
We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims, for product warranty and rework cost, based on historical product liability claims as a ratio of sales. 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: changes in manufacturing quality, changes in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume. A warranty rollforward follows:

Additionally, we are subject to project management and installation-related contingencies as a result of our fixed-price material supply and installation service contracts, primarily in our Architectural Services segment and certain of our Architectural Framing Systems businesses. We manage the risk of these exposures through contract negotiations, proactive project management and insurance coverages. We have recorded an estimated liability related to legacy EFCO projects of $34.2 million and $42.8 million as of August 31, 2019 and March 2, 2019, respectively. We are actively pursuing available options to recover costs related to these exposures.

Letters of credit
At August 31, 2019, we had $24.7 million of ongoing letters of credit, all of which have been issued under our committed revolving credit facility, as discussed in Note 6.

Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures totaled $124.2 million as of August 31, 2019.

New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transactions
We have entered into four separate NMTC programs to support our operational expansion, including two transactions completed in fiscal 2019. Proceeds received from investors on these transactions are included within other non-current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The NMTC arrangements are subject to 100 percent tax recapture for a period of seven years from the date of each respective transaction. Therefore, upon the termination of each arrangement, these proceeds will be recognized in earnings in exchange for the transfer of tax credits. The direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring these arrangements have been deferred and are included in other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These costs will be recognized in conjunction with the recognition of the related proceeds on each arrangement. During the construction phase, we are required to hold cash dedicated to fund each capital project which is classified as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets. Variable-interest entities, which have been included within our consolidated financial statements, have been created as a result of the structure of these transactions, as investors in the programs do not have a material interest in their underlying economics.

Litigation
On November 5, 2018, a shareholder filed a purported securities class action against the Company and certain named executive officers. On April 26, 2019, the new lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging that, during the purported class period of May 1, 2017 to April 10, 2019, the Company and the named executive officers made materially false or misleading statements or omissions about the Company's acquisition of EFCO Corporation on June 12, 2017, and about the Company's Architectural Glass business segment, in violation of the federal securities laws. We intend to vigorously defend this matter.

On December 17, 2018, a different shareholder filed a derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against certain of our executive officers and directors claiming breaches of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. This complaint alleges that the officers and directors allegedly made materially false or misleading statements or omissions about the Company's business, operations and prospects, particularly with respect to our Architectural Glass business segment, during the period between June 28, 2018 and September 17, 2018. This matter has been stayed, pending resolution of a motion to dismiss the foregoing matter. We intend to vigorously defend this matter.

In addition to the foregoing, 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 is routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of areas such as employment practices, workers compensation and general liability matters. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of any such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no matters will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.

Share-Based Compensation

Total share-based compensation expense included in the results of operations was $3.2 million for the six-month period ended August 31, 2019 and $3.1 million for the six-month period ended September 1, 2018.

Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2016, or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2013. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2015, and there is 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 was approximately $5.5 million at August 31, 2019 and $5.1 million at March 2, 2019. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $0.5 million during the next 12 months due to lapsing of statutes.

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

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-looking statements
This discussion contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forecasts and projections in this document are “forward-looking statements,” and are based on management’s current expectations or beliefs of the Company’s near-term results, based on current information available pertaining to the Company, including the risk factors noted under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 2, 2019. From time to time, we may also provide oral and written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public, such as press releases, presentations to securities analysts or investors, or other communications by the Company. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different from actual results.

Accordingly, we wish to caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company are subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These uncertainties and other risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties set forth under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 2, 2019.

Table of Contents

We also wish to caution investors that other factors might in the future prove to be important in affecting the Company’s results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time; it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such 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. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview
We are a world leader in certain technologies involving the design and development of value-added glass and metal products and services for enclosing commercial buildings and framing and displays. Our four reporting segments are: Architectural Framing Systems, Architectural Glass, Architectural Services and Large-Scale Optical (LSO).

The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 2, 2019 and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes to consolidated financial statements, included therein.

Highlights of Second Quarter First Six Months of Fiscal 2020 Compared to Second Quarter and First Six Months of Fiscal 2019

Net sales
Consolidated net sales decreased 1.4 percent, or $5.1 million, for the second quarter ended August 31, 2019, and increased 2.0 percent, or $13.8 million, for the six-month period, compared to the same periods in the prior year. In the quarter, the decrease in sales was driven by an expected decline based on project schedules in the Architectural Services segment, partially offset by improved volume in the Architectural Glass segment. In the six-month period, sales growth was driven by improved volume in the Architectural Glass segment, partially offset by a decline in the Architectural Services segment, as expected, based on timing of project activity.

The relationship between various components of operations, as a percentage of net sales, is presented below:

Gross profit
Gross profit as a percent of sales was 24.1 percent and 23.5 percent for the three and six-month periods ended August 31, 2019, compared to 23.3 percent and 23.6 percent for the three and six-month periods ended September 1, 2018. The increase in the current quarter was largely driven by improved volume leverage in the Architectural Glass segment. In the six-month period, gross profit improvements in Architectural Glass were offset by a less favorable project mix in the Architectural Framing segment, and timing of project activity in the Architectural Services segment.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses as a percent of sales were 16.4 percent in each of the three and six-month periods ended August 31, 2019, compared to 15.4 percent and 16.4 percent in the prior year three and six-month periods, respectively. SG&A increased 100 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 due to increased compensation and benefits and costs related to cost-savings initiatives.

Income tax expense
The effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was 24.0 percent, compared to 23.8 percent in the same period last year, and 24.2 percent for the first six months of fiscal 2020, compared to 23.9 percent in the prior-year period. The slight rate increase was driven by several factors, including increased foreign income and the impact of state taxes.

Architectural Framing Systems net sales declined $2.5 million, or 1.3 percent, and $1.0 million, or 0.3 percent, for the three and six-month periods ended August 31, 2019, compared to the prior-year periods. Operating margin decreased 130 and 70 basis points, respectively, for the three and six-month periods of the current year, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to less favorable project mix. Last year's second quarter included $1.1 million of expense for the amortization of short-lived acquired intangible assets.
As of August 31, 2019, segment backlog was approximately $385 million, compared to approximately $402 million last quarter.
Backlog represents 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 primarily in the near-term. 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 segment revenue because we have a substantial amount of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period and are not included in backlog. We have strong visibility beyond backlog, as projects awarded, verbal commitments and bidding activities are monitored separately and not included in backlog. We use backlog as one of the metrics to evaluate sales trends in our long lead-time segments.

Net sales increased $11.1 million, or 12.5 percent, and $34.4 million, or 20.9 percent, for the three and six-month periods ended August 31, 2019, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in both periods of fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 was the result of increased volume and improved mix driven by strong customer demand.
Operating margin increased 450 and 440 basis points for the three and six-month periods of the current year, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily driven by improved productivity and operating leverage on higher volume and improved price and mix in the current year compared to the prior year. Additionally, margins in the three- and six-month periods ended August 31, 2019 included an approximately 100 basis point impact from start-up costs related to a new growth initiative in this segment.

Architectural Services net sales declined $14.9 million, or 19.5 percent, and $20.5 million, or 13.9 percent, for the three and six-month periods ended August 31, 2019, over the same periods in the prior year on lower volume due to timing of project activity, as expected.
Operating margin decreased 350 and 200 basis points for the three and six-month periods of the current year, compared to the same periods in the prior year, due to reduced leverage on the lower project volume.
As of August 31, 2019, segment backlog was approximately $502 million, compared to approximately $483 million last quarter. Backlog is defined within the Architectural Framing Systems discussion above.

LSO net sales increased slightly for the three and six-month periods ended August 31, 2019, over the same periods in the prior year due to improved product mix. Operating margin increased 150 basis points for the quarter ended August 31, 2019, compared to the second quarter of last year, driven by the favorable product mix. Operating margin decreased 150 basis points for the six-month period of the current year compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by reduced cost leverage from changes in production schedules.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $17.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of $30.1 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to increased working capital requirements related to legacy EFCO projects, as well as timing of other working capital needs.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $23.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020, primarily due to capital expenditures, while in the first six months of the prior year, net cash used by investing activities was $29.8 million, due to capital expenditures and net purchases of marketable securities. We estimate fiscal 2020 capital expenditures to be $60 to $65 million, as we continue to make investments to drive growth and productivity improvements.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $4.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020, compared to $1.3 million for the prior-year period. During the second quarter ended August 31, 2019, we amended our credit facility to consist of a $235 million revolving credit facility with a maturity of June 2024, and a $150 million term loan with a maturity of June 2020. At August 31, 2019, we had outstanding borrowings of $102.0 million and $24.7 million of ongoing letters of credit that reduce availability of funds under our revolving credit facility. At August 31, 2019, we were in compliance with financial covenants as defined in this credit facility.

We paid dividends totaling $9.2 million ($0.35 per share) in the first six months of fiscal 2020 compared to $8.8 million ($0.315 per share) in the comparable prior-year period. In the first six months of fiscal 2020, we repurchased 531,997 shares under our authorized share repurchase program, all during the first quarter, for a total cost of $20.0 million. In the first six months of fiscal

2019, we did not repurchase any shares under our authorized share repurchase program. We have purchased a total of 5,799,912 shares, at a total cost of $169.3 million, since the fiscal 2004 inception of this program. We currently have remaining authority to repurchase an additional 1,450,088 shares under this program.

We acquire the use of certain assets through operating leases, such as property, manufacturing equipment, vehicles and other equipment. Purchase obligations in the table above relate to raw material commitments and capital expenditures.

We expect to make contributions of $0.7 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2020, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As of August 31, 2019, we had reserves of $5.5 million and $1.0 million for unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We currently expect approximately $0.5 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.

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. At August 31, 2019, $695.7 million of these types of bonds were outstanding on our backlog and recently completed projects. These bonds do not have stated expiration dates. We have not been required to make any payments under these bonds with respect to our existing businesses.

Due to our ability to generate strong cash from operations and our borrowing capability under our committed revolving credit facility, we believe that our sources of liquidity will continue to be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments for at least the next 12 months.

Outlook
The following statements reflect our expectations for full-year fiscal 2020 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
Revenue growth of 1 to 3 percent over fiscal 2019.
Operating margin of 8.2 to 8.6 percent.
Earnings per diluted share in the range of $3.00 to $3.20.
Capital expenditures of $60 to $65 million.

Item 4.
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 August 31, 2019, 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

Murray Mayer v. Apogee Enterprises, Inc., et al
On November 5, 2018, Murray Mayer, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported securities class action lawsuit against the Company and our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. On February 26, 2019, the Court appointed as lead plaintiffs the City of Cape Coral Municipal Firefighters’ Retirement Plan and the City of Cape Coral Municipal Police Officers’ Retirement Plan. On April 26, 2019, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint alleges that, during the purported class period of May 1, 2017 to April 10, 2019, the Company and the named executive officers made materially false and/or misleading statements or omissions about the Company's acquisition of EFCO Corporation on June 12, 2017, and about the Company's Architectural Glass business segment in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The amended complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, attorney's fees and costs. We intend to vigorously defend this matter.
Justin Buley v. Apogee Enterprises, Inc. et al
On December 17, 2018, Justin Buley filed a derivative lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and eight of the nine non-executive members of our Board of Directors, in the Fourth Judicial District of the State of Minnesota. The complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment, due to the named executive officers and board members allegedly making materially false and/or misleading statements or omissions about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, particularly with respect to our Architectural Glass business segment, during the period between June 28, 2018 and September 17, 2018. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages and equitable relief, including requiring the Company to offer our shareholders the opportunity to vote for certain amendments to our Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation purporting to improve identified corporate governance practices. This matter has been stayed pending resolution of a Motion to Dismiss in the Mayer action described above. We intend to vigorously defend this matter.
Other Matters
In addition to the foregoing, 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 is routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of areas such as employment practices, workers compensation and general liability matters. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of any such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no matters will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.
