NCI BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for NCI Building Systems, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (the Company, we, us, and our) have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein
contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods indicated. Such adjustments, other than nonrecurring adjustments
that have been separately disclosed, are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the
fiscal three month period ended January 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the fiscal year ending October 30, 2011. Our sales and earnings are subject to
both seasonal and cyclical trends and are influenced by general economic conditions, interest
rates, the price of steel relative to other building materials, the level of nonresidential
construction activity, roof repair and retrofit demand and the availability and cost of financing
for construction projects.
On March 5, 2010, the Company effected a reverse stock split in which every five shares of the
Companys common stock, par value $0.01 (the Common Stock and shares thereof, the Common
Shares), that were issued and outstanding were automatically combined into one issued and
outstanding share of Common Stock (the Reverse Stock Split). As such, we have retrospectively
adjusted basic and diluted earnings per common share,
Common Stock, stock options, Common Stock
equivalents and price per share information for the Reverse Stock Split in all periods presented.
We use a four-four-five week calendar each quarter with our year end on the Sunday closest to
October 31. The year end for fiscal 2011 is October 30, 2011.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in our consolidated balance sheets
and consolidated statements of operations to conform to the current presentation. These
reclassifications include the reclassification of shares of our Common Stock to redeemable common
stock. See Note 11 Redeemable Common Stock. The net effect of these reclassifications was not
material to our consolidated financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on December 22, 2010.
NOTE 2 ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Adoption
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements. This update amends FASB ASU 820-10-50 to require new disclosures concerning (1)
transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, and (2) activity
in Level 3 measurements. In addition, this update clarifies certain existing disclosure
requirements regarding the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques. Finally,
this update makes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers disclosures about
postretirement benefit plan assets. We adopted this update on May 2, 2010. With the exception of
additional fair value measurement disclosures, the adoption of this update did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
and Fair Value Measurements.
6
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been various accounting standards and updates issued recently, but we do not believe any
of these standards or updates will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
NOTE 3 PLANT RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
As a result of the market downturn which began in fiscal 2008, we implemented a phased process to
resize and realign our manufacturing operations. The purpose of these activities was to close some
of our least efficient facilities and to retool certain of these facilities to allow us to better
utilize our assets and expand into new markets or better provide products to our customers, such as
insulated panel systems.
As a result of actions taken in our restructuring, certain facilities in our engineered building
systems and metal components segments are being actively marketed for sale and have been classified
as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we
recorded an additional $1.0 million impairment for one of our facilities in the engineered building
systems segment related to facilities classified as held for sale as a result of deteriorating
market conditions. In determining the impairment, the fair value of assets was determined based on
prices of similar assets in similar condition, adjusted for their remaining useful life. We plan to
sell these facilities within the next 12 months.
In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we incurred $0.5 million in restructuring costs primarily related to idle facility costs.
NOTE 4 RESTRICTED CASH
On May 21, 2009, we entered into a cash collateral agreement with our agent bank to obtain letters
of credit secured by cash collateral. The restricted cash is invested in a cash bank account
securing our agent bank. As of January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, we had restricted cash in the
amount of $2.8 million as collateral related to our $2.7 million of letters of credit. Restricted
cash is classified as a current asset as the underlying letters of credit expire prior to October
2011. The letters of credit have either automatically renewed or will be renewed upon expiration.

NOTE 6 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Our 2003 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan) is an equity-based compensation plan
that allows us to grant a variety of types of awards, including stock options, restricted stock,
restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, phantom stock awards
and cash awards. As of January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, and for each of the three month
periods then ended, our share-based awards under this plan have consisted of restricted stock
grants and stock option grants, none of which can be settled through cash payments. Both our stock
options and restricted stock awards are subject only to vesting requirements based on continued
employment at the end of a specified time period and typically vest over four years. However, from
time to time certain individuals have received special one-time restricted stock awards that vest
at retirement, upon a change of control or on termination without cause or for good reason, as
defined by the agreements governing such awards.
The fair value of each option award is estimated as of the date of grant or the remeasurement date
using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. Expected volatility is based on normalized
historical volatility of our stock over a preceding period commensurate with the expected term of
the option and adjusted to exclude the increased volatility associated with the refinancing the
Company experienced in fiscal 2009 because this volatility is not relevant to the expected future
volatility of the stock. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the
U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield was not
considered in the option pricing formula since we do not currently pay dividends on our Common
Stock and have no current plans to do so in the future. We have estimated a forfeiture rate of 10%
for our non-officers and 0% for our officers in our calculation
7
of share-based compensation expense for the three months ended January 30, 2011 and January 31,
2010. These estimates are based on historical forfeiture behavior exhibited by our employees.
The
weighted average assumptions for the equity awards granted on December 14, 2010 and December
11, 2009 are noted in the following table:

During the three months ended January 31, 2010, the Company did not have sufficient common shares
available to settle the restricted stock and stock option awards, and thus, we classified a portion
of the awards as liability awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718-10, Compensation-Stock
Compensation (ASC 718-10). ASC 718-10 requires that liability awards be remeasured at fair value
at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. On March 5, 2010, the
Company effected a Reverse Stock Split at an exchange ratio of 1-for-5 which caused the shares to
become available and resulted in all restricted stock and stock option awards being classified as
equity awards. As such, on March 5, 2010, all liability awards were reclassified to equity awards
and remeasured using a valuation date of March 5, 2010.
The weighted average assumptions for the liability awards at the December 11, 2009 grant date and
the subsequent reclassification to equity awards remeasured on March 5, 2010 are noted in the
following table:

During the three months ended January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, we granted 121,669 and
1,781,729 stock options, respectively, and the weighted average grant-date fair value of options
granted was $5.78 and $4.29 (giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split), respectively.
The fair value of restricted stock awards classified as equity awards is based on the Companys
stock price as of the date of grant. During the three months ended January 30, 2011 and January 31,
2010, we granted restricted stock awards with a fair value of $6.2 million or 515,053 shares and
$13.7 million or 1,498,718 shares (giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split), respectively. The
total recurring pre-tax share-based compensation cost that has been recognized in results of
operations was $1.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended January 30, 2011 and
January 31, 2010, respectively. Of these amounts, $1.6 million and $0.8 million for the three
months ended January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, respectively, were included in selling, general
and administrative expense, with the remaining costs in each period in cost of goods sold. As of
both January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, we do not have any amounts capitalized for share-based
compensation cost in inventory or similar assets. The total income tax benefit recognized in
results of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was $0.6 million and $0.3 million
for the three months ended January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, respectively. As of January
30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, there was approximately $24.4 million and $21.6 million,
respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation
arrangements and this cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of
3.4 years and 4.2 years, respectively.
There were no options exercised during the first three months of each of fiscal 2011 and fiscal
2010.
NOTE 7 LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss allocated to common shares by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share considers the
dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
used for the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share is as follows (in thousands, except
per share data):

Participating securities consist of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, as
defined below, and the unvested restricted Common Stock related to our Incentive Plan.
Participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses; therefore,
no losses were allocated in both periods presented above. These participating securities will
be allocated earnings when applicable. |
We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method, whereby unvested share-based payment
awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating
securities and, therefore, should be included in computing earnings per share. The calculation of
earnings per share for Common Stock presented here excludes the income, if any, attributable to the
unvested restricted stock awards and our Series B Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred
Stock (Convertible Preferred Stock, and shares thereof, Preferred Shares) from the numerator
and excludes the dilutive impact of those shares from the denominator. There was no income amount
attributable to unvested restricted stock or Preferred Shares for the three months ended January
30, 2011 and January 31, 2010 as the restricted stock and Preferred Shares do not share in the net
losses. However, in periods of net income, a portion of this income will be allocable to the
restricted stock and Preferred Shares. As of both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, the
Preferred Shares were convertible into 44.3 million shares of Common Stock.
For both the three months ended January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, all options and unvested
restricted shares were anti-dilutive and, therefore, not included in the diluted loss per share
calculation.
NOTE 8 WARRANTY
We sell weathertightness warranties to our customers for protection from leaks in our roofing
systems related to weather. These warranties range from two years to 20 years. We sell two types of
warranties, standard and Single Source, and three grades of coverage for each. The type and grade
of coverage determines the price to the customer. For standard warranties, our responsibility for
leaks in a roofing system begins after 24 consecutive leak-free months. For Single Source
warranties, the roofing system must pass our inspection before warranty coverage will be issued.
Inspections are typically performed at three stages of the roofing project: (i) at the project
start-up; (ii) at the project mid-point; and (iii) at the project completion. These inspections are
included in the cost of the warranty. If the project requires or the customer requests additional
inspections, those inspections are billed to the customer. Upon the sale of a warranty, we record
the resulting revenue as deferred warranty revenue, which is included in other accrued expenses in
our consolidated balance sheets. We recognize deferred warranty revenue over the warranty coverage
period in a manner that matches our estimated expenses relating to the warranty. Additionally, we
maintain an accrued warranty at Robertson-Ceco II Corporation (RCC) in which the balance was $3.1
million at both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively. RCCs accrued warranty
programs have similar terms and characteristics to our other warranty programs.

deferred warranty revenue activity for each of the fiscal three months ended (in thousands):

Amended Credit Agreement
On October 20, 2009, we entered into the Amended Credit Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement),
pursuant to which we repaid $143.3 million of the $293.3 million in principal amount of term loans
outstanding under such credit agreement and modified the terms and maturity of the remaining $150.0
million balance. The terms of the term loan require quarterly principal payments in an amount equal
to 0.25% of the principal amount of the term loan then outstanding as of the last day of each
calendar quarter and a final payment of approximately $136.3 million at maturity on April 20, 2014.
We made a mandatory prepayment on the Amended Credit Agreement in May 2010 in connection with our
tax refund resulting from the carry back of the 2009 net operating loss. On December 3, 2010, we
made an optional prepayment in the amount of $2.4 million. These prepayments are allowed to be
applied against the required quarterly principal payments, and as a result, we are not required to
make the above mentioned quarterly principal payments for the remaining term of the term loan.
The Companys obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement and any interest rate protection
agreements or other permitted hedging agreement entered into with any lender under the Amended
Credit Agreement are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by
each direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company (other than any domestic subsidiary
that is a foreign subsidiary holding company or a subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary).
The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement and under any permitted hedging agreement and
the guarantees thereof are secured by (i) all of the capital stock and other equity interests of
all direct domestic subsidiaries owned by the Company and the guarantors, (ii) up to 65% of the
capital stock of certain direct foreign subsidiaries of the Company or any guarantor (it being
understood that a foreign subsidiary holding company or a domestic subsidiary of a foreign
subsidiary is considered a foreign subsidiary for these purposes) and (iii) substantially all other
tangible and intangible assets owned by the Company and each guarantor, including liens on material
real property, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to certain
enumerated exceptions. The liens securing the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement, the
permitted hedging agreements and the guarantees thereof are first in priority (as between the
Amended Credit Agreement and the Asset-Based Lending Facility (the ABL Facility)) with respect to
stock, material real property and assets other than accounts receivable, inventory, certain deposit
accounts, associated intangibles and certain other specified assets of the Company and the
guarantors. Such liens are second in priority (as between the Amended Credit Agreement and the ABL
Facility) with respect to accounts receivable, inventory, associated intangibles and certain other
specified assets of the Company and the guarantors.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or
restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee
obligations, prepay other indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments, create liens,
make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of our business and
engage in certain transactions with affiliates.
The Amended Credit Agreement has no financial covenants until October 30, 2011, at which time our
maximum consolidated leverage ratio of net indebtedness to EBITDA must be 5 to 1. Net indebtedness
is defined as consolidated debt less the lesser of unrestricted cash or $50 million. This ratio
steps down by 0.25 each quarter until October 28, 2012 at which time the maximum ratio is 4 to 1.
The ratio continues to step down by 0.125 each quarter until November 3, 2013 to a ratio of 3.5 to
1, which remains the maximum ratio for each fiscal quarter thereafter. We will, however, not be
subject to this financial covenant with respect to a specified period if certain prepayments or
repurchases of the term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement are made in the specified period.
Based on our prepayments made through January 30, 2011, including the mandatory prepayment in
connection with our tax refund, the leverage ratio covenant has been effectively deferred until the
second quarter of fiscal 2012. We intend to continue to make voluntary prepayments sufficient to
defer the leverage ratio until at least the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. At January 30, 2011 and
October 31, 2010, our Amended Credit Agreement did not require any financial covenant compliance.
10
Term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement may be repaid at any time, without premium or penalty
but subject to customary LIBOR breakage costs. We also have the ability to repurchase a portion of
the term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions set
forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement requires mandatory
prepayment and reduction in an amount equal to:
|
|
the net cash proceeds of (1) certain asset sales, (2) certain debt offerings and (3) certain
insurance recovery and condemnation events; and |
|
|
50% of annual excess cash flow (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) for any fiscal
year ending on or after October 31, 2010, unless a specified leverage ratio target is met. |
The Amended Credit Agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends on or prior to October 31,
2010 after which time we may pay any dividend in an amount not to exceed the available amount (as
defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The available amount is defined as the sum of 50% of the
consolidated net income from August 2, 2009 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, less 100%
of any negative consolidated net income amount, plus net proceeds of property or assets received as
capital contributions, less the sum of all dividends, payments or other distributions of such
available amounts, in each case subject to certain adjustments and exceptions as specified in the
Amended Credit Agreement. In the absence of accumulated earnings, cash dividends and other cash
restricted payments are limited to $14.5 million in the aggregate during the term of the loan of
which we have $9.0 million available as of January 30, 2011.
The term loan under the Amended Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, at either LIBOR or
Base Rate plus an applicable margin. We have selected LIBOR interest rates during which the
applicable margin is 6%. Overdue amounts will bear interest at a rate that is 2% higher than the
rate otherwise applicable. Base Rate is defined as the highest of (i) the Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association prime rate, (ii) the overnight Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) 3%.
LIBOR is defined as the applicable London interbank offered rate (not to be less than 2%)
adjusted for reserves. The applicable margin until October 30, 2011 will be 5.00% on Base Rate
loans and 6.00% on LIBOR loans under the Amended Credit Agreement.
ABL Facility
On October 20, 2009, the subsidiaries of the Company, NCI Group, Inc. and RCC and the Company
entered into the ABL Facility pursuant to a loan and security agreement that provided for a $125.0
million asset-based loan facility. The ABL Facility allows us an aggregate maximum borrowing of up
to $125.0 million. Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is determined by a monthly
borrowing base collateral calculation that is based on specified percentages of the value of
qualified cash, eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, less certain reserves and
subject to certain other adjustments. At January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, our excess
availability under the ABL Facility was $63.0 million and $73.8 million, respectively. The ABL
Facility has a maturity of April 20, 2014 and includes borrowing capacity of up to $25 million for
letters of credit and up to $10 million for swingline borrowings. There were no amounts outstanding
under the ABL Facility at both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010. In addition, at both January
30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, letters of credit totaling approximately $8.1 million were
outstanding under the ABL Facility.
On December 3, 2010, we finalized an amendment of our ABL Facility that reduces the unused
commitment fee from 1% or 0.75% based on the average daily balance of loans and letters of credit
obligations outstanding to an annual rate of 0.5%. The calculation is determined on the amount by
which the maximum credit exceeds the average daily principal balance of outstanding loans and
letter of credit obligations. Additional customary fees in connection with the ABL Facility also
apply. In addition, the amendment reduced the effective interest rate on borrowings, if any, by
nearly 40% or 175 basis points. It also relaxes the prohibitions against making restricted payments
or paying cash dividends, including on the Convertible Preferred Stock, to allow, in the aggregate,
up to $6.5 million of restricted payments or cash dividends each calendar quarter, provided certain
excess availability conditions or certain other excess availability conditions and a fixed charge
coverage ratio under the ABL Facility are satisfied.
The obligations of the borrowers under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by us and each direct and
indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company (other than any domestic subsidiary that is a foreign
subsidiary holding company or a subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary) that is not a borrower under
the ABL Facility. Our obligations under certain specified bank products agreements are guaranteed
by each
11
borrower and each other direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company and the other
guarantors. These guarantees are made pursuant to a guarantee agreement, dated as of October 20,
2009, entered into by the Company and each other guarantor with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as
administrative agent.
The obligations under the ABL Facility and the guarantees thereof are secured by a first priority
lien on our accounts receivable, inventory, certain deposit accounts, associated intangibles and
certain other specified assets of the Company and a second priority lien on the assets securing the
term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement on a first-lien basis, in each case subject to
certain exceptions.
The ABL Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our
ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, engage in
sale and leaseback transactions, prepay other indebtedness, modify organizational documents and
certain other agreements, create restrictions affecting subsidiaries, make dividends and other
restricted payments, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change
the nature of our business and engage in certain transactions with affiliates.
Under the ABL Facility, a Dominion Event occurs if either an event of default is continuing or
excess availability falls below certain levels, during which period, and for certain periods
thereafter, the administrative agent may apply all amounts in the Companys, the borrowers and the
other guarantors concentration accounts to the repayment of the loans outstanding under the ABL
Facility, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. In addition, during such Dominion Event, we are
required to make mandatory payments on our ABL Facility upon the occurrence of certain events,
including the sale of assets and the issuance of debt, in each case subject to certain limitations
and conditions set forth in the ABL Facility.
The ABL Facility includes a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of one to one, which will apply if
we fail to maintain a specified minimum level of borrowing capacity. The minimum level of borrowing
capacity as of both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010 was $15.0 million.
Loans under the ABL Facility bear interest, at our option, as follows:
(1) Base Rate loans at the Base Rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.50% to 2.00%
depending on the quarterly average excess availability under such facility, and
(2) LIBOR loans at LIBOR plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.50% to 3.00% depending on
the quarterly average excess availability under such facility.
During an event of default, loans under the ABL Facility will bear interest at a rate that is 2%
higher than the rate otherwise applicable. Base Rate is defined as the higher of the Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A. prime rate and the overnight Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and LIBOR is defined as the
applicable London interbank offered rate adjusted for reserves.
Deferred Financing Costs
At January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, the unamortized balance in deferred financing costs was
$15.1 million and $16.2 million, respectively.
NOTE 10 SERIES B CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
The CD&R Equity Investment
On August 14, 2009, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (as amended, the Investment
Agreement), by and between the Company and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VIII, L.P. (CD&R Fund
VIII), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to CD&R Fund VIII, and CD&R Fund
VIII agreed to purchase from the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $250 million (less
reimbursement to CD&R Fund VIII or direct payment to its service providers of up to $14.5 million
in the aggregate of transaction expenses and a deal fee, paid to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc.,
the manager of CD&R Fund VIII, of $8.25 million), 250,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, on October 20, 2009 (the Closing Date), the
12
Company issued and sold to CD&R Fund VIII and CD&R Friends & Family Fund VIII, L.P. (the CD&R
Funds), and the CD&R Funds purchased from the Company, an aggregate of 250,000 Preferred Shares,
representing approximately 39.2 million shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the Reverse
Stock Split) or 68.4% of the voting power and Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis
as of the Closing Date (such purchase and sale, the CD&R Equity Investment). At January 30, 2011,
the CD&R Funds own 69.0% of the voting power and Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted
basis.
Certain Terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock
In connection with the consummation of the CD&R Equity Investment, on October 19, 2009 we filed the
Certificate of Designations, setting forth the terms, rights, powers, and preferences, and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
Liquidation Value. Each Preferred Share has an initial liquidation preference of $1,000.
Rank. The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior as to dividend rights, redemption payments and
rights upon liquidation to the Common Stock and each other class or series of our equity
securities, whether currently issued or to be issued in the future, that by its terms ranks junior
to the Convertible Preferred Stock, and junior to each class or series of equity securities of the
Company, whether currently issued or issued in the future, that by its terms ranks senior to the
Convertible Preferred Stock. We have no outstanding securities ranking senior to the Convertible
Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, the issuance of any senior securities
of the Company requires the approval of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
Dividends. Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock are payable, on a cumulative daily basis,
as and if declared by the board of directors, at a rate per annum of 12% of the sum of the
liquidation preference of $1,000 per Preferred Share plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon or
at a rate per annum of 8% of the sum of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per Preferred Share
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon if paid in cash on the dividend payment date on which
such dividends would otherwise compound. If dividends are not paid on the dividend payment date,
either in cash or in kind, such dividends compound on the dividend payment date. Members of the
board of directors who are not affiliated with the CD&R Funds have the right to choose whether such
dividends are paid in cash or in-kind, subject to the conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement
and ABL Facility which restricts the Companys ability to pay cash dividends until the first
quarter of fiscal 2011 under the Amended Credit Agreement and until October 20, 2010 under the ABL
Facility. In addition, the Companys Amended Credit Agreement currently restricts the payment of
cash dividends to 50% of cumulative earnings beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009, and in the
absence of accumulated earnings, cash dividends and other cash restricted payments are limited to
$14.5 million in the aggregate during the term of the loan of which we have $9.0 million available
as of January 30, 2011. The Companys ABL Facility, among other potentially available baskets, permits the Company to
pay cash dividends, including on the Convertible Preferred Stock, up to $6.5
million each calendar quarter, provided certain excess
availability conditions or certain other excess availability conditions and a fixed charge coverage
ratio under the ABL Facility are satisfied.
If, at any time after the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date of October 20, 2009, the trading
price of the Common Stock exceeds 200% of the initial conversion price of the Convertible Preferred
Stock ($6.3740, as adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, combinations or similar events) for
each of 20 consecutive trading days (the Dividend Rate Reduction Event), the dividend rate
(excluding any applicable adjustments as a result of a default) will become 0.00%. However, this
does not preclude the payment of default dividends after the 30-month anniversary of the Closing
Date. As a result of certain restrictions on dividend payments in the Companys Amended Credit
Agreement and ABL Facility, the dividends for each quarter of fiscal 2010 were paid in-kind, at a
pro rata rate of 12% per annum. See Note 9Long-term Debt for more information on our Amended
Credit Agreement and ABL Facility.
At any time prior to the Dividend Rate Reduction Event, if dividends are not declared in cash on
the applicable dividend declaration date, the rate at which such dividends are payable will be at
least 12% per annum. Prior to the vote of the Dividend Payment Committee, the Company is obligated
to the 12% dividend rate. Therefore, the Company accrues dividends daily based on the 12% rate and
if and when the Company determines the dividends will be paid in cash on the applicable dividend
declaration date, the Company will record a subsequent benefit of the excess 4% accrual upon the
boards declaration of such cash dividend and reverse the beneficial conversion feature charge
associated with such accrual.
13
The dividend rate will increase by up to 6% per annum above the rates described in the preceding
paragraph upon and during certain defaults specified in the Certificate of Designations of the
Convertible Preferred Stock (the Certificate of Designations) involving the Companys failure to
have a number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock reserved and available sufficient
for the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares. The Company currently has sufficient
authorized, unissued and reserved shares of Common Stock.
On the Dividend Payment Committee date, the Company has the right to choose whether dividends are
paid in cash or in-kind. However, the first dividend payment which was scheduled to be paid on
December 15, 2009, was required to be paid in cash by the Certificate of Designations but could not
be paid in cash based on the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement and Asset-Based Lending Facility
(ABL Facility) which restricts the Companys ability to pay cash dividends until the first
quarter of fiscal 2011 under the Amended Credit Agreement and until October 20, 2010 under the ABL
Facility. As a result, the dividend for the period up to the December 15, 2009 dividend payment
date compounded at a rate of 12% per annum.
In addition to any dividends declared and paid as described in the preceding paragraphs, holders of
the outstanding Preferred Shares also have the right to participate equally and ratably, on an
as-converted basis, with the holders of shares of Common Stock in all cash dividends and
distributions paid on the Common Stock.
On December 15, 2010, the Dividend Payment Committee of the board of directors declared and paid to
the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock, the CD&R Funds, a $5.55 million Convertible Preferred
Stock dividend in cash at a pro rata rate of 8% per annum. As a result of paying an 8% cash
dividend, we recorded a dividend accrual reversal of $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2011 related to dividends accrued in excess of 8% between September 16, 2010 and October 31, 2010.
In addition, we reversed the related beneficial conversion feature previously recorded of $2.4
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Convertibility and Anti-Dilution Adjustments. To the extent that we have authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, holders of Preferred Shares have the right, at any time and from time to
time, at their option, to convert any or all of their Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, into
fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Companys Common Stock at the conversion price set
forth in the Certificate of Designations. The number of shares of Common Stock into which a
Preferred Share is convertible is determined by dividing the sum of the liquidation preference of
$1,000 per Preferred Share and the accrued and unpaid dividends of such share as of the time of
conversion by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion.
The initial conversion price of the Convertible Preferred Stock was equal to $6.3740 as of January
30, 2011, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split. The conversion price is subject to adjustment as
set forth in the Certificate of Designations and is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments,
including stock dividends, splits, combinations or similar events and issuance of our Common Stock
at a price below the then-current market price and, within the first three years after the Closing
Date, issuances of our Common Stock below the then applicable conversion price.
Milestone Redemption Right. The Company has the right, at any time on or after the tenth
anniversary of the Closing Date, to redeem in whole, but not in part, all then-issued and
outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the Certificate of Designations. Any holder of Convertible Preferred Stock has the right, at any
time on or after the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date, to require that the Company redeem all,
but not less than all, of its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Certificate of Designations. In each case, such right (the Milestone
Redemption Right), is exercisable at a redemption price for each Preferred Share equal to the sum
of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per Preferred Share and the accrued and unpaid dividends of
such share as of the time of redemption.
Change of Control Redemption Right. Upon certain change of control events specified in the
Certificate of Designations, including certain business combinations involving the Company and
certain changes to the beneficial ownership of the voting power of the Company, so long as the CD&R
Funds do not own 45% or more of the voting power of the Company and directors designated by the
CD&R Funds are not entitled to cast a majority of the total number of votes that can be cast by the
Companys board of directors or by the directors constituting the quorum approving or recommending
such change of control event, holders of Preferred Shares are able to require redemption by the
Company, in whole but not in part, of the Convertible Preferred Stock (1) if redeemed after the
fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, at a purchase price equal to the sum of the liquidation
value of such Preferred Shares and the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon as of the redemption
date or (2) if redeemed prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, at a purchase price
equal to the sum of (a) the liquidation value of such Preferred Shares plus the accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon as
14
of the redemption date and (b) a make-whole premium equal to the net present value of the sum of
all dividends that would otherwise be payable on and after the redemption date, to and including
such fourth anniversary date, assuming that such dividends are paid in cash. In addition, upon
change of control events pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement or the ABL Facility, holders of
Preferred Shares are able to require redemption by the Company, in whole but not in part, of the
Convertible Preferred Stock, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the sum of the liquidation value
of such Preferred Shares and the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon as of the redemption date.
In the event of a merger or other business combination resulting in a change of control in which
the holders of shares of our Common Stock receive cash or securities of an unaffiliated entity as
consideration for such shares, if the holder of Preferred Shares does not exercise the change of
control redemption right described in the paragraph above or is not entitled to the change of
control redemption right in connection with such event, such holder will be entitled to receive,
pursuant to such merger or business combination, the consideration such holder would have received
for its Preferred Shares had it converted such shares immediately prior to the merger or business
combination transaction. In the event of a merger or other business combination not resulting in a
change of control in which the holders of shares of our Common Stock receive cash or securities of
an unaffiliated entity as consideration for such shares, holders of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall have the option to exchange their Preferred Shares for shares of the surviving entitys
capital stock having terms, preferences, rights, privileges and powers no less favorable than the
terms, preferences, rights, privileges and powers under the Certificate of Designations.
Vote. Holders of Preferred Shares generally are entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of
our Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of shares of the Companys Common
Stock (voting together with the holders of shares of our Common Stock as one class) and are
entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of such holders Preferred Shares (without any limitations based on our authorized but
unissued shares of the Companys Common Stock) as of the applicable record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matters.
Certain matters require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred
Shares, voting as a separate class, including (1) amendments or modifications to the Companys
Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws or the Certificate of Designations, that would adversely
affect the terms or the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the Convertible Preferred
Stock, (2) authorization, creation, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any class
or series of senior securities or any security convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable
for, shares of senior securities and (3) any increase or decrease in the authorized number of
Preferred Shares or the issuance of additional Preferred Shares.
In addition, in the event that the Company fails to fulfill its obligations to redeem the
Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations
following the exercise of the Milestone Redemption Right or change of control redemption rights
described above, until such failure is remedied, certain additional actions of the Company shall
require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares, voting as a
separate class, including the adoption of an annual budget, the hiring and firing, or the changing
of the compensation, of executive officers and the commitment, resolution or agreement to effect
any business combination.
Restriction on Dividends on Junior Securities. The Company is prohibited from (i) paying any
dividend with respect to our Common Stock or other junior securities, except for ordinary cash
dividends in which the Convertible Preferred Stock participates and which are declared, paid or set
aside after the base dividend rate for the Convertible Preferred Stock has been reduced to 0.00% as
described above and dividends payable solely in shares of our Common Stock or other junior
securities, or (ii) repurchasing or redeeming any shares of our Common Stock or other junior
securities, unless, in each case, we have sufficient access to lawful funds immediately following
such action such that we would be legally permitted to redeem in full all Preferred Shares then
outstanding.

In accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity, we classified the Convertible Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity because
the Convertible Preferred Stock (1) can be settled in cash or shares of our Common Stock, (2)
contains change of control rights allowing for early redemption, and (3) contains Milestone
Redemption Rights which allow the Convertible Preferred Stock to remain outstanding without a
stated maturity date.
In addition, the Certificate of Designations, which is the underlying contract of the Convertible
Preferred Stock, includes features that are required to be bifurcated and recorded at fair value.
We classified the Convertible Preferred Stock as an equity host contract because of (1) the voting
rights, (2) the participating dividends on Common Stock and mandatory, cumulative preferred stock
dividends, and (3) the Milestone Redemption Right which allows the Convertible Preferred Stock to
remain outstanding without a stated maturity date. We then determined that the conditions resulting
in the application of the default dividend rate are not clearly and closely related to this equity
host contract and we bifurcated and separately recorded these features at fair value. See Note
12-Derivative Instruments and Hedging Strategy.
Because the dividends accrue and accumulate on a daily basis and the amount payable upon redemption
of the Convertible Preferred Stock is the liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends,
accrued dividends are recorded into Convertible Preferred Stock.
In accordance with ASC Subtopic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Convertible
Preferred Stock contains a beneficial conversion feature because it was issued with an initial
conversion price of $6.3740 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) and the closing stock price
per share of Common Stock just prior to the execution of the CD&R Equity Investment was $12.55 (as
adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split). The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature
cannot exceed the issuance proceeds of the Convertible Preferred Stock less the cash paid to the
CD&R Funds, and thus is $241.4 million. At both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, all of the
potentially 44.3 million shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares,
which includes paid-in-kind dividends, were authorized and unissued.
As of both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, the Preferred Shares were convertible into 44.3
million shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of ($6.3740 as adjusted for the
Reverse Stock Split). We recorded a $1.8 million and $0.2 million beneficial conversion feature
charge, net of any applicable reversal, in the three months ended January 30, 2011 and January 31,
2010, respectively, related to dividends that have accrued and are convertible into shares of
Common Stock. In addition, we expect to recognize additional beneficial conversion feature charges
on paid-in-kind dividends to the extent that the Preferred Shares are accrued. Our policy is to
recognize beneficial conversion feature charges on paid-in-kind dividends based on a daily dividend
recognition and the daily closing stock price of our Common Stock.
At any time prior to the Dividend Rate Reduction Event, if dividends are not paid in cash on the
applicable dividend payment date, the rate at which such dividends are payable will be at least 12%
per annum. Therefore, we accrue dividends daily based on the 12% rate and if and when we determine
the dividends will be paid in cash on the applicable dividend payment date, we will record a
subsequent benefit of the excess 4% accrual upon our boards declaration of such cash dividend and
reverse the beneficial conversion feature charge associated with such accrual. As a result of
paying an 8% cash dividend on December 15, 2010, we recorded a dividend accrual reversal of $1.4
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 related to dividends accrued in excess of 8% between
September 16, 2010 and October 31, 2010. In addition, we reversed the related beneficial conversion
feature previously recorded of $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

NOTE 11 REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK
Under federal securities laws, shares of the Companys Common Stock purchased on behalf of
participants in the Companys 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) are required to be properly
registered with the SEC or sold in transactions that are exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933. On February 7, 2011, the Company discovered that it inadvertently issued
more shares of the Companys Common Stock in connection with the Plan than had been registered with
the SEC. As a result, certain participants in the Plan may bring claims against the Company for
rescission or damages in respect of the unregistered shares for an amount equal to the purchase
price for the shares (or if the shares have been disposed of, to receive damages with respect to
any loss on such disposition) plus interest, less income, from the date of purchase, although the
Company believes that such claims would be time barred. Moreover, even if such claims were
allowed, the Company believes that the statute of limitations applicable to any such claims would
be one year under the federal securities laws, and that the statute of limitations with respect to
the inadvertent issuances that occurred prior to February 16, 2010 has expired. Accordingly, at
January 30, 2011, approximately 0.2 million shares ($2.5 million) of the Companys Common Stock
were classified outside stockholders equity because of the
potential rescission rights. The
potential damage claims with respect to unregistered Company Common
Stock purchased under the Plan are
between February 16, 2010 and February 15, 2011. We may also be subject to civil and other
penalties by regulatory authorities as a result of the failure to register. We believe that the
potential negative impact on our consolidated statement of operations will not be material.
NOTE 12 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING STRATEGY
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with fluctuations in the interest rates on our
variable interest rate debt. In order to manage this risk, on June 15, 2006, we entered into a
forward interest rate swap agreement (Swap Agreement) hedging a portion of our then $400 million
Credit Agreement. The Swap Agreement expired on June 17, 2010 and, therefore, there was no
remaining notional amount outstanding on January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010. At inception, we
designated the Swap Agreement as a cash flow hedge. The fair value of the Swap Agreement excludes
accrued interest and takes into consideration current interest rates and current creditworthiness
of us or the counterparty, as applicable.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, in connection with our refinancing and Amended Credit
Agreement, we modified the terms of our credit agreement to include a 2% LIBOR minimum market
interest rate. At that time, based on the current expected LIBOR rates over the remaining term of
the Swap Agreement, the forecasted market rate interest payments had effectively converted to fixed
rate interest payments making the Swap Agreement both ineffective and the underlying hedged cash
flow no longer probable. Therefore, all subsequent changes in fair market value were recorded
directly to earnings. During the three month period ended January 31, 2010, we reduced interest
expense by $1.0 million as a result of the changes in fair value of the hedge.
Embedded Derivative Bifurcated From Convertible Preferred Stock (See Note 10)
The terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock include a default dividend rate of 3% per annum if we
fail to (1) pay holders of Convertible Preferred Stock, in cash on an as-converted basis, dividends
paid on shares of our Common Stock; (2) following the date that there are no Convertible Notes
outstanding, as defined in the Certificate of Designations, pay, in cash or in kind, any dividend
(other than dividends payable pursuant to the preceding clause (1)) payable to holders of Preferred
Shares pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, on the applicable quarterly dividend payment
date; (3) after June 30, 2010, reserve and keep available for issuance the number of shares of our
Common Stock equal to 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all
17
outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock; (4) maintain the listing of our Common Stock on
the New York Stock Exchange or another U.S. national securities exchange; (5) comply with our
obligations to convert the Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with our obligations under the
Certificate of Designations; (6) redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock in compliance with the
Certificate of Designations; or (7) comply with any dividend payment restrictions with respect to
junior securities dividends. If, at a time when a 3% per annum default dividend rate is in effect
after June 30, 2011, we fail to reserve and keep available authorized common shares pursuant to the
terms of the Certificate of Designations the default dividend rate shall increase to 6% until such
default is no longer continuing. The default dividend represents an embedded derivative which is
bifurcated from the CD&R Equity Investment host contract (i.e., the Certificate of Designations).
See Note 10-Series B Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock for further discussion of
the Convertible Preferred Stock.
To determine the Level 3 fair value of the embedded derivative, we used a probability-weighted
discounted cash flow model and assigned probabilities for each qualified default event. We
originally recorded the fair value of the embedded derivative in the amount of $1.0 million at
November 1, 2009 in other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of
the value of the derivative was derived from the default dividend rate. On December 14, 2009, the
CD&R Funds, our majority equity holders expressed their intention to vote in favor of the proposed
Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on March 5, 2010. Based upon these events we
reevaluated the assigned probabilities used previously in the probability-weighted discounted cash
flow model. As a result, we recorded a $0.9 million decrease in fair value of the embedded
derivative during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 which was recorded in other income and expense
during the three month period.

Fair Value Measurements
ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires us to use valuation
techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active
markets.
Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require us
to develop our own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities
measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at January 30, 2011
and October 31, 2010.
Money market: Money market funds have original maturities of three months or less. The
original cost of these assets approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.
Mutual funds: Mutual funds are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in
which the mutual fund is traded.
Assets held for sale: Assets held for sale are valued based on current market conditions,
prices of similar assets in similar condition and expected proceeds from the sale of the assets.
Deferred compensation plan liability: Deferred compensation plan liability comprises of
phantom investments in the deferred compensation plan and is valued at the closing price reported
in the active market in which the money market, mutual fund or NCI stock phantom investments are
traded.
Embedded derivative: The embedded derivative value is based on an income approach in which we
used a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model and assigned probabilities for each
qualified default event.

measured at fair value as of January 30, 2011 (in thousands):

The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended January 30, 2011 as compared to
the prior year period was primarily due to a 5.9% decrease in the benefit related to state income
taxes.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we must consider whether it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider all
available evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence includes
the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment, and judgment is required in considering the relative
weight of negative and positive evidence. As of January 30, 2011, we expect to fully utilize the
net U.S. deferred tax assets of $11.2 million against future operating income. However, in the
event our expectations of future operating results change, a valuation allowance may be required on
our existing unreserved net U.S. deferred tax assets.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit at January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010 was $0.5
million and $0.7 million, respectively, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if
recognized. We do not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits to occur within the next twelve months.

NOTE 16 BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We have aggregated our operations into three reportable segments based upon similarities in product
lines, manufacturing processes, marketing and management of our businesses: metal coil coating;
metal components; and engineered building systems. All business segments operate primarily in the
nonresidential construction market. Sales and earnings are influenced by general economic
conditions, the level of nonresidential construction activity, metal roof repair and retrofit
demand and the availability and terms of financing available for construction. Products of our
business segments use similar basic raw materials. The metal coil coating segment consists of
cleaning, treating, painting and slitting continuous steel coils before the steel is fabricated for
use by construction and industrial users. The metal components segment products include metal roof
and wall panels, doors, metal partitions, metal trim, insulated panels and other related
accessories. The engineered building systems segment includes the manufacturing of main frames,
Long Bay® Systems and value added engineering and drafting, which are typically not part of metal
components or metal coil coating products or services. The reporting segments follow the same
accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate a segments performance based primarily upon operating income before corporate
expenses. Intersegment sales are recorded based on standard material costs plus a standard markup
to cover labor and overhead and consist of: (i) hot-rolled, light gauge painted and slit material
and other services provided by the metal coil coating segment to both the engineered building
systems and metal components segments; (ii) building components provided by the metal components
segment to the engineered building systems segment; and (iii) structural framing provided by the
engineered building systems segment to the metal components segment.
Corporate assets consist primarily of cash but also include deferred financing costs, deferred
taxes and property, plant and equipment associated with our headquarters in Houston, Texas. These
items (and income and expenses related to these items) are not allocated to the segments.
Unallocated expenses include interest income, interest expense, debt extinguishment and refinancing
costs and other (expense) income.
The following table represents sales, operating income and total assets attributable to these
business segments for the periods indicated (in thousands):

NOTE 17 CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings and contingencies, including
environmental matters, considered to be in the ordinary course of business. While we are not able
to predict whether we will incur any liability in excess of insurance coverages or to accurately
estimate the damages, or the range of damages, if any, we might incur in connection with these
legal proceedings, we believe these legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse
effect on our business, consolidated financial position or results of operations. See Note 11
Redeemable Common Stock.
NOTE 18 SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On March 4, 2011, the Preferred Dividend Committee of the Board of Directors elected to pay the
$5.5 million preferred dividend in cash on March 15, 2011. The determination of cash payment versus
payment in-kind or PIK of the preferred dividends will be made each quarter adhering to the
limitations of the Companys term loan and ABL credit facilities as well as the Companys
intermediate and long term cash flow requirements. The Companys term loan currently restricts the
payment of cash dividends to 50% of cumulative earnings beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009,
and in the absence of accumulated earnings, cash dividends and other cash restricted payments are
limited to $14.5 million in the aggregate during the term of the loan of which, upon
cash payment on March 15, 2011, we will have $3.5 million available.
As a result of paying an 8%
cash dividend, we plan to record a dividend accrual reversal of $1.4 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2011. In addition, we plan to record a beneficial conversion feature reversal of $4.2 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

OVERVIEW
NCI Building Systems, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise,
the Company, we, us or our) is one of North Americas largest integrated manufacturers and
marketers of metal products for the nonresidential construction industry. We provide metal coil
coating services and design, engineer, manufacture and market metal components and engineered
building systems primarily for nonresidential construction use. We manufacture and distribute
extensive lines of metal products for the nonresidential construction market under multiple brand
names through a nationwide network of plants and distribution centers. We sell our products for
both new construction and repair and retrofit applications.
Metal components offer builders, designers, architects and end-users several advantages, including
lower long-term costs, longer life, attractive aesthetics and design flexibility. Similarly,
engineered building systems offer a number of advantages over traditional construction
alternatives, including shorter construction time, more efficient use of materials, lower
construction costs, greater ease of expansion and lower maintenance costs.
We assess performance across our business segments by analyzing and evaluating (i) gross profit,
operating income and whether or not each segment has achieved its projected sales goals, and (ii)
non-financial efficiency indicators such as gross profit per employee, man hours per ton of steel
produced and shipped tons per day. In assessing our overall financial performance, we regard return
on adjusted operating assets, as well as growth in earnings, as key indicators of shareholder
value.
24
First Fiscal Quarter
Our first quarter of fiscal 2011 experienced revenue growth compared to the same period in the
prior year which was driven by a 10% increase in the combined third party sales of the metal coil
coating and metal components segments. This performance was achieved despite a 16.2% decline in low-rise
nonresidential construction activity, as reported by McGraw-Hill. Our
improved metal coil coating segments
results reflect the success of our efforts to build external sales from
traditional and non-traditional markets, while continuing to base load our facilities with
intersegment business. Reduced market volume adversely affected our engineered metal buildings segments
shipments, but the segment achieved bookings growth in January 2011 compared to January 2010 of 26%
and backlog growth in January 2011 compared to December 2010 of 6%. These results serve as
indicators that the segments performance may improve in the coming periods,
particularly in the second half of fiscal 2011.
Revenues for the metal coil coating segment increased 8.3% during the first three months of fiscal
2011 compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting successful marketing efforts in both
traditional and non-traditional markets, as well as an increase in orders in advance of steel price
increases. Operating income in the metal coil coating segment increased 10.4% during the first
three months of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. Once operational, the
recently purchased sixth metal coil coating plant in Middletown, Ohio will enable us to support future growth in
third party sales and internal demand from the metal components and engineered building systems
segments. In addition, it will significantly increase the metal coil coating segments footprint in
an area of the country with important growth potential.
The metal components segments revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 2011
increased 4.0% compared to the same period in the prior year. In addition to special charges, lower selling prices
caused margin compression in the first three months of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in
prior year. The metal components segment increased sales of retrofit roofing products and
energy-efficient insulated metal panels in the current fiscal quarter, and work has already begun
on re-tooling two of our previously idled facilities to capitalize on increasing demand for energy
efficient insulated metal panels.
The engineered building systems segments revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 were
comparable with the first quarter of fiscal 2010 levels and operating results improved modestly
despite lower volume. Investments in manufacturing efficiencies and significant upgrades to
engineering and drafting systems across all our brands has positioned the engineered building
systems segment for improved results as market demand strengthens.
Industry Conditions
Our sales and earnings are subject to both seasonal and cyclical trends and are influenced by
general economic conditions, interest rates, the price of steel relative to other building
materials, the level of nonresidential construction activity, roof repair and retrofit demand and
the availability and cost of financing for construction projects.
The nonresidential construction industry is highly sensitive to national and regional macroeconomic
conditions. One of the primary challenges we face is that the United States economy is slowly
recovering from a recession and is in a period of unprecedented volatility which, beginning in the
third quarter of 2008, reduced demand for our products and adversely affected our business. In
addition, the tightening of credit in financial markets over the same period adversely affected the
ability of our customers to obtain financing for construction projects. As a result, we have
experienced decreases in orders and cancellations of orders in previous fiscal quarters for our
products, and the ability of our customers to make payments has been adversely affected. Similar
factors could cause our suppliers to experience financial distress or bankruptcy, resulting in
temporary raw material shortages. The lack of credit also adversely affects nonresidential
construction, which is the focus of our business. While economic growth has resumed, the
nonresidential construction industry continues to face significant challenges. The graph below
shows the annual nonresidential new construction starts, measured in square feet, since 1968 as
complied and reported by McGraw-Hill:

When assessing the state of the metal construction market, we rely upon various industry
associations, third-party research, and various government reports such as industrial production
and capacity utilization. For example, the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA)
provides summary member sales information and promotes the design and construction of metal
buildings and metal roofing systems. McGraw-Hill Construction Information Group prepares reports of
actual and forecasted growth in various construction related industries, including the overall
nonresidential construction market. McGraw-Hill Constructions nonresidential construction forecast
for calendar 2011, published in January 2011, indicates an expected increase of 7% in square
footage and an increase of 4% in dollar value as compared to the prior calendar year. In calendar
2012, the forecast is expected to increase, with an expected increase of 27% in square footage and
an increase of 19% in dollar value compared to calendar 2011. Additionally, we review the American
Institute of Architects (AIA) survey for inquiry and billing activity for the industrial,
commercial and institutional sectors. AIAs Architectural Billing Index published for January 2011
was 50.0 and the commercial and industrial component of the index remained above 50 for the seventh
consecutive month.
As a result of the market downturn in 2008 and 2009, we implemented a three-phase process to resize
and realign our manufacturing operations. The purpose of these activities was to close some of our
least efficient facilities and to retool certain of these facilities to allow us to better utilize
our assets and expand into new markets or better provide products to our customers, such as
insulated panel systems. As a result of the implementation of this three-phase restructuring plan,
we are realizing an annualized fixed cost savings compared to fiscal 2008 of approximately $120
million. We have incurred facility closure costs of $20.3 million through October 31, 2010 related
to the three-phase restructuring plan and have not and do not expect to incur significant
additional costs beyond fiscal 2010 under the plan.
Another challenge we face is the volatility in the price of steel. Our business is heavily
dependent on the supply of steel and is significantly impacted by steel prices. For the fiscal
three months ended January 30, 2011, steel represented approximately 69% of our cost of goods sold.
The steel industry is highly cyclical in nature, and steel prices have been volatile in recent
years and may remain volatile in the future. Steel prices are influenced by numerous factors beyond
our control, including general economic conditions domestically and internationally, competition,
labor costs, production costs, import duties and other trade restrictions.
26
The monthly CRU North American Steel Price Index, published by the CRU Group, has increased 19.7%
from October 2010 to January 2011 and was 22.2% higher in January 2011 compared to January 2010.
Based on announced price increases by most producers in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, steel
prices appear to be rising rapidly which will begin to be transacted in our second quarter of
fiscal 2011. For additional discussion of steel prices, see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not have any long-term contracts for the purchase of steel and normally do not maintain an
inventory of steel in excess of our current production requirements. However, from time to time, we
may purchase steel in advance of announced steel price increases. We can give no assurance that
steel will be readily available or that prices will not continue to be volatile. While most of our
contracts have escalation clauses that allow us, under certain circumstances, to pass along all or
a portion of increases in the price of steel after the date of the contract but prior to delivery,
for competitive or other reasons we may not be able to pass such price increases along. If the
available supply of steel declines, we could experience price increases that we are not able to
pass on to the end users, a deterioration of service from our suppliers or interruptions or delays
that may cause us not to meet delivery schedules to our customers. Any of these problems could
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. For additional discussion
please see Item 3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk -Steel Prices.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have aggregated our operations into three reportable segments based upon similarities in product
lines, manufacturing processes, marketing and management of our businesses: (i) metal coil coating;
(ii) metal components; and (iii) engineered building systems. All business segments operate
primarily in the nonresidential construction market. Sales and earnings are influenced by general
economic conditions, the level of nonresidential construction activity, metal roof repair and
retrofit demand and the availability and terms of financing available for construction.
Products of all business segments use similar basic raw materials. The metal coil coating segment
consists of cleaning, treating, painting and slitting continuous steel coils before the steel is
fabricated for use by construction and industrial users. The metal components segment products
include metal roof and wall panels, doors, metal partitions, metal trim, insulated panels and other
related accessories. The engineered building systems segment includes the manufacturing of main
frames, Long Bay® Systems and value added engineering and drafting, which are typically not part of
metal components or metal coil coating products or services. The reporting segments follow the same
accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate a segments performance based primarily upon operating income before corporate
expenses. Intersegment sales are recorded based on standard material costs plus a standard markup
to cover labor and overhead and consist of: (i) hot-rolled, light gauge painted, and slit material
and other services provided by the metal coil coating segment to both the metal components and
engineered building systems segments; (ii) building components provided by the metal components
segment to the engineered building systems segment; and (iii) structural framing provided by the
engineered building systems segment to the metal components segment.
Segment information is included in Note 16 of our consolidated financial statements.
The following table represents sales and operating income attributable to these business segments
for the periods indicated (in thousands, except percentages):

FISCAL THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 30, 2011 COMPARED TO FISCAL THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31,
2010
Consolidated sales increased by 4.3%, or $7.9 million for the three months ended January 30, 2011,
compared to the three months ended January 31, 2010. This increase resulted from a 2.2% increase in
external tonnage volumes and higher relative sales prices in our metal components and metal coil
coating segments, which we increased as a result of higher steel prices. This increase was
partially offset by lower tonnage volumes in the engineered building systems in the first quarter
of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 which was driven by higher steel prices, reduced
demand and increased competition in the market, which resulted from the general weakness of
nonresidential construction activity compared to the prior years period. This general weakness of
nonresidential construction activity is affirmed by the 16.2% decrease in low-rise nonresidential
(less than 5 stories) square-footage starts, as reported by McGraw-Hill, for the first quarter of
fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Consolidated cost of sales increased by 5.2%, or $7.8 million for the three months ended January
30, 2011, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2010. Gross margins were 17.6% for the
three months ended January 30, 2011 compared to 17.8% for the
same period in the prior year. The decline in gross margins was the result of higher steel prices,
reduced demand and increased competition in the market, which resulted from the general weakness of
nonresidential construction activity.
Metal coil coating sales increased by 8.3%, or $3.2 million to $42.3 million in the three months
ended January 30, 2011, compared to $39.0 million in the same period in the prior year. Sales to
third parties for the three months ended January 30, 2011 increased by 34.2% to $17.2 million from
$12.8 million in the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of a 19.1% increase in
external volume and a 14.8% increase in sales prices, which increased as a result of higher steel
costs and a shift in product mix from tolling revenue for coating services to package sales of
coated steel products. Generally, package sales of coated steel products contribute lower margin
dollars per ton compared to toll processing sales, as a percentage of revenue. Package sales
include both the toll processing services and the sale of the steel coil while toll processing
services include only the toll processing service performed on the steel coil already in the
customers ownership. The remaining $1.1 million represents a decrease in intersegment sales for
the three months ended January 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. Metal coil
coating third-party sales accounted for 9.0% of total consolidated third-party sales in the three
months ended January 30, 2011 compared to 7.0% in the three months ended January 31, 2010.
Operating income of the metal coil coating segment increased to $3.4 million in the three months
ended January 30, 2011 compared to $3.1 million in the same period in the prior year, primarily due
to a $0.5 million increase in gross profit primarily due to higher relative sales prices, which
increased as a result of higher steel costs.
Metal components sales increased 4.0%, or $3.5 million to $90.3 million in the three months ended
January 30, 2011, compared to $86.8 million in the same period in the prior year. This increase
compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to higher sales prices, which
increased as a result of higher steel prices and a 0.7% increase in external tons shipped. Sales to
third parties for the three months ended January 30, 2011 increased $3.9 million to $74.0 million
from $70.1 million in the same period in the prior year. The remaining $0.4 million represents a
decrease in intersegment sales. Although demand was slightly higher during the period, these
results were primarily driven by higher steel prices and increased competition in the market
resulting from the general weakness of nonresidential construction activity in the three months
ended January 30, 2011. Metal components third-party sales accounted for 38.9% of total
consolidated third-party sales in the three months ended January 30, 2011 compared to 38.5% in the
three months ended January 31, 2010.
28
Operating income of the metal components segment decreased to $0.4 million in the three months
ended January 30, 2011, compared to $1.8 million in the same period in the prior year. The $1.4
million decrease resulted from a $1.7 million increase in selling and administrative expenses
related to a $1.1 million increase in an actuarial determined general liability self-insurance
reserve and a $0.7 million increase in bad debt expense, partially offset by a $0.2 million
increase in gross profit due to increases in relative sales prices noted above.
Engineered building systems sales decreased 0.5%, or $0.5 million to $101.4 million in the three
months ended January 30, 2011, compared to $101.9 million in the same period in prior year. This
decrease resulted from an 11.1% decrease in external tons shipped, partially offset by higher sales
prices as a result of higher steel prices. Sales to third parties for the three months ended
January 30, 2011 decreased $0.4 million to $98.9 million from $99.3 million in the same period in
the prior year. The remaining $0.1 million represents a decrease in intersegment sales. These
results were primarily driven by higher steel prices, reduced demand and increased competition in
the market, which resulted from the general weakness of nonresidential construction activity in the
three months ended January 30, 2011. Engineered building systems third-party sales accounted for
52.0% of total consolidated third-party sales in the three months ended January 30, 2011 compared
to 54.5% in the three months ended January 31, 2010.
Operating loss of the engineered building systems segment decreased to $5.4 million in the three
months ended January 30, 2011 compared to $5.8 million in the same period in the prior year. This
$0.4 million decrease resulted from a $1.0 million of asset impairment charges and $0.4 million of
restructuring charges in the same period in the prior year. These decreases were partially offset
by a $0.5 million increase in selling and administrative expenses and a $0.5 million decrease in
gross profit. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $0.5
million increase in healthcare costs, a $0.4 million increase in property taxes, partially offset
by a $0.4 million decrease in general liability costs. The decrease in gross profit was due to
decreased volumes noted above, partially offset by increases in relative sales prices.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, consisting of engineering, drafting,
selling and administrative costs, increased to $47.7 million in the three months ended January 30,
2011, compared to $44.6 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase in selling and
administrative expenses was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in bad debt expense, a $0.8
million increase in stock based compensation expense, a $0.6 million increase in an actuarial
determined general liability self-insurance reserve, a $0.6 million increase in sales and franchise
taxes and a $0.5 million increase in healthcare costs. As a percentage of sales, selling, general
and administrative expenses were 25.1% for the three months ended January 30, 2011 as compared to
24.5% for the three months ended January 31, 2010.
Consolidated restructuring charges were $0.5 million in the three months ended January 31, 2010.
There were no such charges in the current period. This decrease of $0.5 million was primarily
related to charges taken in connection with the closing of three of our engineered building systems
manufacturing plants in the same period in the prior year. The purpose of these activities was to
close some of our least efficient facilities and to retool certain of these facilities to allow us
to better utilize our assets and expand into new markets or better provide products to our
customers.
Consolidated interest expense decreased by 6.8% to $4.2 million for the three months ended January
30, 2011, compared to $4.5 million for the same period of the prior year. Interest expense
decreased due to decreases in the underlying debt balances and lower interest rates associated with
the variable portion of our outstanding debt. Interest expense decreased further as a result of $1.0 million of interest expense related to the change in the fair value
of our interest rate swap in the three months ended January 31, 2010.
Other income, net decreased by 49.6% to $0.6 million for the three months ended January 30, 2011,
compared to $1.1 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily the
result of a $0.9 million decrease as a result of the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative in the same period
in the prior year.
Consolidated benefit for income taxes decreased to $5.0 million for the three months ended January
30, 2011, compared to $5.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate
benefit for the three months ended January 30, 2011 was 28.2% compared to 35.6% for the same period
in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate benefit was primarily due to changes in
the state income tax benefit which reduced the effective tax rate by 2.5% in the current period and
a 1.1% decrease related to a current quarter loss in Canada which we can not benefit from for tax
purposes.
29
Consolidated Convertible Preferred Stock dividends and accretion for the three months ended January
30, 2011 was $6.2 million compared to $8.1 million in the same period in the prior year and related
primarily to our paying accrued dividends on the series of our preferred stock, par value
$1.00 per share, designated the Series B Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock
(Convertible Preferred Stock, and shares thereof, Preferred Shares) in cash.
Dividends on the Preferred Shares accrue and accumulate on a daily basis at 12% per annum, but are payable at a rate of 8% per annum if paid in cash, rather than in kind. Because we paid $5.6 million of dividends on the Preferred Shares in cash, we reversed the additional 4% of
dividends accrued at 12% amounting to $2.5 million of dividends accrued between
September 16, 2010 and December 15, 2011.
Consolidated Convertible Preferred Stock beneficial conversion feature for the three months ended
January 30, 2011 was $1.8 million compared to $0.2 million in the same period in the prior year and
related to the beneficial conversion feature on the Convertible Preferred Stock because it was
issued on October 20, 2009 with an initial conversion price of $6.3740 per Common Share equivalent
(as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) and the closing stock price per Common Share just prior
to the closing of the equity investment by the Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VIII, L.P. and CD&R Friends & Family Fund VIII,
L.P. (the CD&R Funds) (further described in Liquidity and Capital Resources-Convertible
Preferred Stock) was $12.55 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split). We recorded a $4.2 million
beneficial conversion feature charge in the three months ended January 30, 2011 related to
dividends that have accrued and are convertible into shares of Common Stock. In addition, we
reversed the beneficial conversion feature amounting to $2.4 million relating to paid-in-kind
dividends accrued between September 16, 2010 and October 31, 2010 because we paid cash dividends at
8% in December 2010. We expect to recognize additional beneficial conversion feature charges on
paid-in-kind dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock to the extent that the Preferred Shares
are accrued and each days stock price is in excess of $6.37.
Diluted loss per share increased to $(1.14) per diluted share for the three months ended January
30, 2011, compared to $(1.04) per diluted share for the same period in the prior year. The increase
in the diluted loss per share was primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in net loss applicable
to shares of our Common Stock resulting from the factors described above in this section. At
January 30, 2011, the Preferred Shares were convertible into 44.3 million shares of Common Stock.
The Convertible Preferred Stock and the
unvested restricted Common Stock related to our Incentive Plan do not have a contractual obligation
to share in losses; therefore, no losses were allocated to these shares in both periods presented.
These participating securities will be allocated earnings when applicable.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Working capital was $127.8 million and $147.5 million at January 30, 2011 and October 30, 2011,
respectively. The $19.6 million decrease in working capital during the three months ended January
30, 2011 was primarily due to a $19.5 million decrease in accounts receivable which was driven by a
seasonal decrease in sales.
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $0.1 million and $(19.2) million for the three
months ended January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, respectively. The $0.1 million increase in cash
provided by operating activities during the three months ended January 30, 2011 was attributed to a
$7.3 million decrease in working capital and non-current assets and $7.2 million in cash used for the net loss and operating activities.
Cash used in investing activities was $2.2 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended
January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010, respectively. The $2.2 million decrease in cash used in
investing activities during the three months ended January 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to
$2.2 million used for capital expenditures predominantly related to computer software and machinery
and equipment.
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $(10.1) million and $7.7 million for the three
months ended January 30, 2011 and January 30, 2010, respectively. The $10.1 million decrease in
cash used in financing activities during the three months ended January 30, 2011 was primarily
attributable to $5.6 million of dividends paid in cash on the Convertible Preferred Stock, $3.0
million of note payable and term loan payments and $1.5 million of restricted stock that was
repurchased as treasury shares to satisfy tax-withholding obligations arising in connection with
the vesting of awards of restricted stock.
30
Convertible Preferred Stock
On October 20, 2009, we closed the $250.0 million Equity Investment. As a result of the Equity
Investment, the CD&R Funds own 250,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock (such purchase and
sale, the CD&R Equity Investment), which represented 68.4% of the then voting power and Common
Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis. As of both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010,
the Preferred Shares were convertible into approximately 44.3 million shares of Common Stock, at an
initial conversion price of $6.3740 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split).
At both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, we had Preferred Shares outstanding of 272,503. In
addition, at both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, we had accrued but unpaid cash and in-kind dividends
on the Preferred Shares with a value of $10.0 million. As of both January 30, 2011 and
October 31, 2010, the aggregate liquidation preference plus aggregate accrued dividends of the
Convertible Preferred Stock was $282.5 million.
Debt
We have an Amended Credit Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement) which includes $150 million in
term loans. The term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement will mature on April 20, 2014 and,
prior to that date, we are required to pay quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the principal
amount of the term loan then outstanding as of the last day of each calendar quarter. However, we
made a mandatory prepayment under the Amended Credit Agreement in May 2010 in connection with our
tax refund received resulting from the carry back of the 2009 net operating loss. On December 3,
2010, we made an optional prepayment in the amount of $2.4 million. These prepayments are allowed
to be applied against the required quarterly principal payments, and as a result, we are not
required to make the above mentioned quarterly principal payments for the remaining term of the
term loans. In addition, these prepayments have effectively deferred our leverage ratio covenant
until the second quarter of fiscal 2012. We intend to continue to make voluntary prepayments
sufficient to defer the leverage ratio until at least the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
In addition to our Amended Credit Agreement, we have an Asset-Based Lending Facility (the ABL
Facility) which allows aggregate maximum borrowings of up to $125.0 million. Borrowing
availability on the ABL Facility is determined by a monthly borrowing base collateral calculation
that is based on specified percentages of the value of qualified cash, eligible inventory and
eligible accounts receivable, less certain reserves and subject to certain other adjustments. The
ABL Facility has a maturity of April 20, 2014 and includes borrowing capacity of up to $25 million
for letters of credit and up to $10 million for swingline borrowings.
Amended Credit Agreement. The Companys obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement and any
interest rate protection agreements or other permitted hedging agreement entered into with any
lender under the Amended Credit Agreement are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint
and several basis by each direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company (other than any
domestic subsidiary that is a foreign subsidiary holding company or a subsidiary of a foreign
subsidiary). Our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement and the permitted hedging
agreements and the guarantees thereof are secured pursuant to a guarantee and collateral agreement,
dated as of October 20, 2009, made by the Company and other grantors (as defined therein), in favor
of the term loan administrative agent and term loan collateral agent, by (i) all of the capital
stock and other equity interests of all direct domestic subsidiaries owned by the Company and the
guarantors, (ii) up to 65% of the capital stock of certain direct foreign subsidiaries of the
Company or any guarantor (it being understood that a foreign subsidiary holding company or a
domestic subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary will be deemed a foreign subsidiary) and (iii)
substantially all other tangible and intangible assets owned by the Company and each guarantor,
including liens on material real property, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law
and subject to certain enumerated exceptions. The liens securing the obligations under the Amended
Credit Agreement, the permitted hedging agreements and the guarantees thereof are first in priority
(as between the Amended Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility) with respect to stock, material real
property and assets other than accounts receivable, inventory, certain deposit accounts, associated
intangibles and certain other specified assets of the Company and the guarantors. Such liens are
second in priority (as between the Amended Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility) with respect to
accounts receivable, inventory, associated intangibles of the Company and certain other specified
assets of the guarantors.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or
restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee
obligations, prepay other indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments, create liens,
make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of our business and
engage in certain transactions with affiliates.
31
The Amended Credit Agreement has no financial covenants until October 30, 2011, at which time our
maximum consolidated leverage ratio of net indebtedness to EBITDA must be 5 to 1. Net indebtedness
is defined as consolidated debt less the lesser of unrestricted cash or $50 million. This ratio
steps down by 0.25 each quarter until October 28, 2012 at which time the maximum ratio is 4 to 1.
The ratio continues to step down by 0.125 each quarter until November 3, 2013 to a ratio of 3.5 to
1, which remains the maximum ratio for each fiscal quarter thereafter. We will, however, not be
subject to this financial covenant with respect to a specified period if certain prepayments or
repurchases of the term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement are made in the specified period.
Based on our prepayments made through January 30, 2011, the leverage ratio covenant has been
effectively deferred until the second quarter of fiscal 2012. We intend to continue to make
voluntary prepayments sufficient to defer the leverage ratio until at least the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2012. At January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, our consolidated leverage ratio was 5.83 and
5.36, respectively. We expect to make additional prepayments on our Amended Credit Agreement in
fiscal 2011.
Term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement may be repaid at any time, without premium or penalty
but subject to customary LIBOR breakage costs. We also have the ability to repurchase a portion of
the term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions set
forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, the term loans under the Amended Credit
Agreement are subject to mandatory prepayment and reduction in an amount equal to:
|
|
|
the net cash proceeds of (1) certain asset sales, (2) certain debt offerings and (3)
certain insurance recovery and condemnation events; and |
|
|
|
|
50% of annual excess cash flow (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) for any
fiscal year ending on or after October 31, 2010, unless a specified leverage ratio target is
met. |
Term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, as follows:
|
|
(1)Base Rate loans at the Base Rate plus a margin, which for term loans is 5% until October 30,
2011. After that date, the margin fluctuates based on our leverage ratio and shall be either 5%
or 3.5%. As of the first fiscal quarter commencing January 30, 2012, the margin in each case
increases by 0.25% per annum on the first day of each fiscal quarter unless the aggregate
principal amount of term loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement in the immediately
preceding fiscal quarter of the Company has been reduced by $3,750,000 (excluding scheduled
principal amortization payments), less any prior reductions not previously applied to prevent an
increase in the applicable margin, and |
|
|
|
(2)LIBOR loans at LIBOR (having a minimum rate of 2%) plus a margin, which for term loans is 6%
until October 30, 2011. After that date, the LIBOR-linked margin fluctuates based on our leverage
ratio and shall be either 6% or 4.5%. As of the first fiscal quarter commencing January 30, 2012,
the margin in each case increases by 0.25% per annum on the first day of each fiscal quarter
unless the aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding under the Amended Credit
Agreement in the immediately preceding fiscal quarter of the Company has been reduced by
$3,750,000 (excluding scheduled principal amortization payments), less any prior reductions not
previously applied to prevent an increase in the applicable margin. At January 30, 2011 and
October 31, 2010, the interest rate on our Amended Credit Agreement was 8.0%. |
Overdue amounts will bear interest at a rate that is 2% higher than the rate otherwise applicable.
Base Rate is defined as the highest of (i) the Wells Fargo Bank, National Association prime rate,
(ii) the overnight Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and (iii) 3.0% and LIBOR is defined as the
applicable London interbank offered rate (not to be less than 2%) adjusted for reserves.
ABL Facility. The ABL Facility provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility which allows
aggregate maximum borrowings by NCI Group, Inc. and Robertson-Ceco II Corporation of up to $125.0
million. Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is determined by a monthly borrowing base
collateral calculation that is based on specified percentages of the value of qualified cash,
eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, less certain reserves and subject to certain
other adjustments. At January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, our excess availability under the ABL
Facility was $63.0 million and $73.8 million, respectively. There were no amounts outstanding under
the ABL Facility at both January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010. In addition, at both January 30,
2011 and October 31, 2010, letters of credit totaling approximately $8.1 million were outstanding
under the ABL Facility.
On December 3, 2010, we finalized an amendment of our ABL Facility that reduces the unused
commitment fee from 1% or 0.75% based on the average daily balance of loans and letters of credit
obligations outstanding to an annual rate of 0.5%, reduces the
32
effective interest rate on
borrowings, if any, by nearly 40% or 175 basis points and relaxes the prohibitions against making
restricted payments or paying cash dividends, including on the Convertible Preferred Stock, to
allow, in the aggregate, up to $6.5 million of restricted payments or cash dividends each calendar
quarter, provided certain excess availability conditions or certain other excess availability
conditions and a fixed charge coverage ratio under the ABL Facility are satisfied.
An unused commitment fee is paid monthly on the ABL Facility at an annual rate of 0.50% based on
the amount by which the maximum credit exceeds the average daily principal balance of outstanding
loans and letter of credit obligations. Additional customary fees in connection with the ABL
Facility also apply.
The obligations of the borrowers under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by the Company and each
direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company (other than any domestic subsidiary that is
a foreign subsidiary holding company or a subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary) that is not a
borrower under the ABL Facility. The obligations of the Company under certain specified bank
products agreements are guaranteed by each borrower and each other direct and indirect domestic
subsidiary of the Company and the other guarantors. These guarantees are made pursuant to a
guarantee agreement, dated as of October 20, 2009, entered into by the Company and each other
guarantor with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as administrative agent.
The obligations under the ABL Facility and the guarantees thereof are secured by a first priority
lien on our accounts receivable, inventory, certain deposit accounts, associated intangibles and
certain other specified assets of the Company and a second priority lien on the assets securing the
term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement on a first-lien basis, in each case subject to
certain exceptions.
The ABL Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our
ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, engage in
sale and leaseback transactions, prepay other indebtedness, modify organizational documents and
certain other agreements, create restrictions affecting subsidiaries, make dividends and other
restricted
payments, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature
of our business and engage in certain transactions with affiliates.
Under the ABL Facility, a Dominion Event occurs if either an event of default is continuing or
excess availability falls below certain levels, during which period, and for certain periods
thereafter, the administrative agent may apply all amounts in the Companys, the borrowers and the
other guarantors concentration accounts to the repayment of the loans outstanding under the ABL
Facility, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and certain specified exceptions. In addition,
during such Dominion Event, we are required to make mandatory payments on our ABL Facility upon the
occurrence of certain events, including the sale of assets and the issuance of debt, in each case
subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the ABL Facility.
The ABL Facility includes a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of one to one, which will apply if
we fail to maintain a specified minimum level of borrowing capacity. At January 30, 2011 and
October 31, 2010, our fixed charge coverage ratio was 0.76 to one and 1.01 to one, respectively.
Loans under the ABL Facility bear interest, at our option, as follows:
(1) Base Rate loans at the Base Rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.50% to 2.00%
depending on the quarterly average excess availability under such facility, and
(2) LIBOR loans at LIBOR plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.50% to 3.00% depending on
the quarterly average excess availability under such facility.
During an event of default, loans under the ABL Facility will bear interest at a rate that is 2%
higher than the rate otherwise applicable. Base Rate is defined as the higher of the Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A. prime rate and the overnight Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and LIBOR is defined as the
applicable London interbank offered rate adjusted for reserves.

Convertible Preferred Stock Dividends
As a result of certain restrictions on dividend payments in our Amended Credit Agreement and ABL
Facility, the dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock for each quarter of fiscal 2010 were
paid in-kind at a pro rata rate of 12% per annum. On March 4, 2011, the Preferred Dividend
Committee of the Board of Directors elected to pay the $5.5 million preferred dividend in cash on
March 15, 2011 at a pro rata rate of 8% per annum. On December 15, 2010, we paid the $5.55 million
Convertible Preferred Stock dividend in cash at a pro rata rate of 8% per annum. The determination
of cash payment versus payment-in-kind or PIK of the Convertible Preferred Stock dividends will
be made each quarter adhering to the limitations of our Amended Credit Agreement and ABL Facility
as well as the Companys intermediate and long term cash flow requirements. Our Amended Credit
Agreement currently restricts the payment of cash dividends to 50% of cumulative earnings beginning
with the fourth quarter of 2009, and in the absence of accumulated earnings, cash dividends and
other cash restricted payments are limited to $14.5 million in the aggregate during the term of the
loan of which we have $9.0 million available as of January 30, 2011.
Cash Flow
We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability of resources in
view of inventory levels, expansion plans, debt service requirements and other operating cash
needs. To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, including payment of operating
expenses and repaying debt, we rely primarily on cash from operations. However, we have recently,
as well as in the past, sought to raise additional capital.
We expect that, for the next 12 months, cash generated from operations will be sufficient to
provide us the ability to fund our operations, provide the increased working capital necessary to
support our strategy and fund planned capital expenditures of approximately $26 million for the
remainder of fiscal 2011 and expansion when needed. We expect to receive between $12 million and
$13 million in fiscal 2011 related to a federal income tax refund for current losses carried back
to 2008.
We have used available funds to repurchase shares of our Common Stock under our stock repurchase
program though we have no intention to repurchase shares in the near-term. Although we did not
purchase any Common Stock during the three months ended
January 30, 2011 under the stock repurchase program, we did withhold shares of restricted stock to
satisfy tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the vesting of awards of restricted
stock related to our 2003 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan.
Our corporate strategy seeks potential acquisitions which provide additional synergies in our metal
coil coating, metal components and engineered building systems segments. From time to time, we may
enter into letters of intent or agreements to acquire assets or companies in these business lines.
The consummation of these transactions could require cash payments and/or issuance of additional
debt.
The Company may from time to time repurchase or otherwise retire the Companys debt and take other
steps to reduce the Companys debt or otherwise improve the Companys financial position. These
actions may include open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other retirements of
outstanding debt and opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be repurchased
or otherwise retired, if any, will depend on market conditions, trading levels of the Companys
debt, the Companys cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.
Affiliates of the Company may also purchase the Companys debt from time to time, through open
market purchases or other transactions. In such cases, the Companys debt may not be retired, in
which case the Company would continue to pay interest in accordance with the terms of the debt, and
the Company would continue to reflect the debt as outstanding in it is consolidated balance sheet.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
Set forth below are certain non-GAAP measures which include adjusted operating income (loss),
adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share and adjusted EBITDA. Such measurements are not
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to reported
results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes the use of such non-GAAP
measures on a consolidated and business segment basis assists investors in understanding the
ongoing operating performance by presenting the financial results between periods on a more
comparable basis. In addition, certain financial covenants related to our Amended Credit Agreement
and ABL Facility are based on similar non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP information provided is
unique to the Company and may not be consistent with the methodologies used by other companies.
The following tables reconcile adjusted operating income (loss) to operating income (loss) for the
periods indicated (in thousands):

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships
with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as
structured finance or special purpose entities (SPEs), which would have been established for the
purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited
purposes. As of January 30, 2011, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In general, purchase orders issued in the normal course of business can be terminated in whole or
in part for any reason without liability until the product is received.
There have been no material changes in our future contractual obligations since the end of fiscal
2010 other than the normal expiration of existing contractual obligations. See Item 7 of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 for more information on contractual
obligations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial
position and results of operations. These policies require our most subjective judgments, often
employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most
critical accounting policies include those that pertain to revenue recognition, insurance accruals,
share-based compensation, income taxes, accounting for acquisitions, intangible assets and
goodwill, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, property, plant and equipment
valuation, contingencies and beneficial conversion features and dividend policy, which are
described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There have been various accounting standards and updates issued recently, but we do not believe any
of these standards or updates will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Under federal securities laws, shares of the Companys Common Stock purchased on behalf of
participants in the Companys 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) are required to be properly
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) or sold in transactions that are
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. On February 7, 2011, the Company
discovered that it inadvertently issued more shares of the Companys Common Stock in connection
with the Plan than had been registered with the SEC. As a result, certain participants in the Plan
may bring claims against the Company for rescission or damages in respect of the unregistered
shares for an amount equal to the purchase price for the shares (or if the shares have been
disposed of, to receive damages with respect to any loss on such disposition) plus interest, less
income, from the date of purchase, although the Company believes that such claims would be time
barred. Moreover, even if such claims were allowed, the Company believes that the statute of
limitations applicable to any such claims would be one year under the federal securities laws, and
that the statute of limitations with respect to the inadvertent issuances that occurred prior to
February 16, 2010 has expired. Accordingly, at January 30, 2011, approximately 0.2 million shares
($2.5 million) of the Companys Common Stock were classified outside stockholders equity because
of the potential rescission rights. The potential damage claims with respect to unregistered Company
Common Stock purchased under the Plan are between February 16, 2010 and February 15, 2011. We may also
be subject to civil and other penalties by regulatory authorities as a result of the failure to
register. We believe that the potential negative impact on our consolidated statement of operations
will not be material.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Steel Prices
We are subject to market risk exposure related to volatility in the price of steel. For the fiscal
three months ended January 30, 2011, steel constituted approximately 69% of our cost of sales. Our
business is heavily dependent on the price and supply of steel. Our various products are fabricated
from steel produced by mills to forms including bars, plates, structural shapes, sheets, hot-rolled
coils and galvanized or Galvalume-coated coils. The steel industry is highly cyclical in nature,
and steel prices have been volatile in recent years and may remain volatile in the future. Steel
prices are influenced by numerous factors beyond our control, including general economic
conditions, domestically and internationally, the availability of raw materials, competition, labor
costs, freight and transportation costs, production costs, import duties and other trade
restrictions. Based on announced price increases by most producers in the first quarter of fiscal
2011, steel prices appear to be rising rapidly, which we expect will begin to impact transactions
that occur in our second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Although we have the ability to purchase steel from a number of suppliers, a production cutback by
one or more of our current suppliers could create challenges in meeting delivery schedules to our
customers. Because we have periodically adjusted our contract prices, particularly in the
engineered building systems segment, we have generally been able to pass increases in our raw
material costs through to our customers. The graph below shows the monthly CRU index data for the
North American Steel Price Index over the historical five-year period. The CRU North American Steel
Price Index has been published by the CRU Group since 1994 and we believe this index appropriately
depicts the volatility of steel prices. The index, based on a CRU survey of industry participants,
is now commonly used in the settlement of physical and financial contracts in the steel industry.
The prices surveyed are purchases for forward delivery, according to lead time, which will vary.
For example, the January index would likely approximate our March or April steel purchase
deliveries based on current lead-times. The volatility in this steel price index is comparable to
the volatility we experience in our average cost of steel. Further, due to market conditions
described above, the most recent CRU prices have been based on a lower than normal trading volume.
37
Source: www.crugroup.com
We do not have any long-term contracts for the purchase of steel and normally do not maintain an
inventory of steel in excess of our current production requirements. However, from time to time, we
may purchase steel in advance of announced steel price increases. We can give no assurance that
steel will remain available or that prices will not continue to be volatile.
We rely on a few major suppliers for our supply of steel and may be adversely affected by
bankruptcy, change in control, financial condition or other factors affecting those suppliers.
During the first three months of fiscal 2011, we purchased approximately 46% of our steel
requirements from three vendors in the United States. No other vendor accounted for over 10% of our
steel requirements during the first three months of fiscal 2011. Due to unfavorable market
conditions and our inventory supply requirements, during the first three months of fiscal 2011, we
purchased insignificant amounts of steel from foreign suppliers. Limiting purchases to domestic
suppliers further reduces our available steel supply base.
With steel accounting for approximately 69% of our cost of sales for the fiscal three months ended
January 30, 2011, a one percent change in the cost of steel would have resulted in a pre-tax impact
on cost of sales of approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended January 30, 2011, if such
costs were not passed on to our customers. The impact to our financial results of operations would
be significantly dependent on the competitive environment and the costs of other alternative
building products, which could impact our ability to pass on these higher costs.
Interest Rates
We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on our Amended Credit
Agreement and ABL Facility. These instruments bear interest at an agreed upon percentage point
spread from either the prime interest rate or LIBOR. Under our Amended Credit Agreement, we may, at
our option, fix the interest rate for certain borrowings based on a spread over LIBOR for 30 days
to six months. At January 30, 2011, we had $133.6 million outstanding under our senior Amended
Credit Agreement. Based on this balance, an immediate change of one percent in the interest rate
would cause a change in interest expense of approximately $1.3 million on an annual basis. The fair
value of our Amended Credit Agreement at January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010 was approximately
$132.3 million and $132.0 million, respectively, compared to the face value of $133.6 million and
$136.3 million, respectively.
38
See Note 9 Long-term Debt to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the
material terms of our long-term debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
We are exposed to the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of foreign
currency denominated operating revenue and expenses. The functional currency for our Mexico
operations is the U.S. dollar. Adjustments resulting from the re-measurement of the local currency
financial statements into the U.S. dollar functional currency, which uses a combination of current
and historical exchange rates, are included in net income in the current period. Net foreign
currency re-measurement gains (losses) for the three month period ended January 30, 2011 was $1.0
million. Net foreign currency re-measurement gains (losses) for the three month period ended
January 31, 2010 was insignificant.
The functional currency for our Canada operations is the Canadian dollar. Translation adjustments
resulting from translating the functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollar
equivalents are reported separately in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders
equity. The net foreign currency exchange gains (losses) included in net income for the three month
period ended January 30, 2011 was insignificant. The net foreign currency exchange gains included
in net income for the three month period ended January 31, 2010 were $0.1 million. The net foreign
currency translation adjustment, net of tax, and included in other comprehensive income for both
the three month periods ended January 30, 2011 and January 31, 2010 was insignificant.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon such
evaluation, they have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. Management believes that our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
and based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 30, 2011, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective at such reasonable assurance level.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

See Part I, Item 1, Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1, which is incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Please refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and
incorporated herein by reference. Except for the risk factor set forth below, there have been no
material changes to the risk factors described either in our most recent Form 10-K or previous Form
10-Q.
We may face liability as a result of the sale of unregistered shares of our common stock to
participants in the Companys 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan.
Under federal securities laws, shares of Company common stock to be purchased on behalf of
participants in the Plan are required to be properly registered with the SEC or sold in
transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. On February 7,
2011, the Company discovered that it inadvertently issued more shares of the Companys common stock
in connection with the Plan than had been registered with the SEC. As a result, certain
participants in the Plan who purchased shares in the unregistered transactions may have the right
to rescind their purchases for an amount equal to the price of the shares (or if the shares have
been disposed of, to receive damages with respect to any loss on such disposition) plus interest,
less income, from the date of purchase. At January 30, 2011, approximately 0.2 million shares
($2.5 million) of the Companys common stock were classified outside stockholders equity because
of the potential rescission rights. The potential damage claims with respect to unregistered Company
Common Stock purchased under the Plan are between February 16, 2010 and February 15, 2011. We may also be subject
to civil and other penalties by regulatory authorities as a result of the failure to register. We
cannot be certain what, if any, claims or actions may be brought against us as a result of this
matter.
The adoption of climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of greenhouse gases
could increase our operating costs or reduce demand for our products.
More stringent laws and regulations relating to climate change and greenhouse gases, or GHGs,
may be adopted in the future and could cause us to incur additional operating costs or reduce the
demand for our products. On December 15, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA,
published its findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other GHGs present an
endangerment to public heath and welfare because emissions of such gases are, according to the EPA,
contributing to the warming of the earths atmosphere and other climate changes. Based on these
findings, the EPA has begun to adopt and implement regulations that will restrict emissions of GHGs
under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act. The EPA recently adopted two sets of rules
regulating GHGs under the Clean Air Act, one of which requires a reduction in emissions of
greenhouse gases from motor vehicles and the other of which will require that certain large
stationary sources obtain permits for their emissions of GHGs, effective January 2, 2011. The EPA
has also adopted rules requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from specified large
greenhouse gas emission sources, on an annual basis, beginning in 2011 for emissions occurring
after January 1, 2010, as well as certain oil and natural gas production facilities, on an annual
basis, beginning in 2012 for emissions occurring in 2011. These requirements could increase the
cost of doing business for us and our suppliers, including increasing the cost of steel, and
adversely affect the demand for our products.
In addition, both houses of Congress have actively considered legislation to reduce emissions of
GHGs, and more than one-third of the states have already taken legal measures to reduce emissions
of GHGs, primarily through the planned development of GHG emission inventories and/or regional GHG
cap and trade programs. Most of these cap and trade programs work by requiring either major sources
of emissions or major producers of fuels to acquire and surrender emission allowances, with the
number of allowances available for purchase reduced each year until the overall GHG emission
reduction goal is achieved. Although it is not possible at this time to predict how legislation or
new regulations that may be adopted to address GHG emissions would impact our business, any new
40
federal, regional or state restrictions on emissions of carbon dioxide or other GHGs that may be
imposed in areas in which we conduct business could result in increased compliance costs or
additional operating restrictions on us and our suppliers. Such restrictions could potentially make
our products more expensive and thus reduce demand for them, which could have a material adverse
effect on the demand for our products and our business. Finally, it should be noted that some
scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the earths atmosphere may
produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and
severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events; if any such effects were to
occur, they could have an adverse effect on our assets and operations, including affecting the
supply of our raw materials.

These shares were shares of restricted stock that were withheld to satisfy tax-withholding
obligations arising in connection with the vesting of awards of restricted stock. The required
withholding is calculated using the closing sales price reported by the NYSE as of the vesting
date. |

|
Our board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program. Subject to applicable
federal securities law and the Certificate of Designations of our Series B Preferred Stock,
such purchases may occur, if at all, at times and in amounts that we deem appropriate. Shares
repurchased are usually retired. On February 28, 2007, we publicly announced that our board of
directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 0.2 million shares of our Common Stock.
There is no time limit on the duration of the program. During the first three months of fiscal
2011, we did not repurchase any shares of Common Stock. At January 30, 2011, there were 0.1
million shares of Common Stock remaining authorized for repurchase under the program. |
