Preliminary purchase accounting will be performedcompleted in the fourthsecond quarter and the acquired company will be included within our Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment. Results of operations for SotawallEFCO will be included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

2.New Accounting Standards

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. We early adopted this standard in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, and prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements in any period presented.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We plan to early adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year and do not expect it to have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, Apogee'sour fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluatingundertaking a process to quantify the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. statements and will provide further analysis and discussion as we progress in this quantification process. At this time:
We are in the process of evaluating the significance of the guidance to our operations and as we proceed, we will finalize our determination of adoption method.
We expect to have business units that will continue to recognize revenue at the point in time when goods are shipped, as that represents when control is transferred, and business units that will continue to recognize revenue over time, following a cost-to-cost percentage of completion method of revenue recognition. Additionally, we expect that one of our business units in the Architectural Framing Systems segment will change from recognizing revenue at a point in time to recognizing revenue over time, to better reflect transfer of control to the customer in line with the new guidance. This business unit represents approximately 10 percent of our total net sales and will follow a similar cost-to-cost percentage of completion method of revenue recognition, consistent with our other business units using percentage of completion.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which provides for comprehensive changes to lease accounting. The new standard requires that a lessee recognize a lease obligation liability and a right to use asset for virtually all leases of property, plant and equipment, subsequently amortized over the lease term. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, our fiscal year 2020, with a modified retrospective transition. We are currently evaluating whether we will early adopt this standard in our fiscal year 2019 to align with the impactadoption of the new revenue recognition standard discussed above. The adoption of this standard will haveresult in reflecting assets and liabilities for the value of our leased property and equipment on our consolidated financial statements.balance sheet but we do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows, which addresses eight specificand in November 2016, it issued 2016-18, Restricted Cash. Both standards provide guidance for presentation of certain topics within the statement of cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversityflows, including presenting restricted cash within cash and cash equivalents, and are intended to improve consistency in practice.presentation. The standardnew classification guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, butour fiscal year 2019, and is to be applied retrospectively for comparability across all periods. These standards may be adopted early. Weearly, and we are currently evaluatingconsidering the impacttiming of adoption, but we do not expect this standard willguidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016,January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,2017-04, Restricted CashSimplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which clarifies guidance and presentation relatedsimplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring impairment charges to restricted cashbe based on the first step in the statementcurrent two-step impairment test process.

We have a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), which holds municipal bonds. Prism insures a portion of our general liability, workers’ compensation and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement.

As of November 26, 2016,June 3, 2017, marketable securities with a fair value of $1.2 million have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months with unrealized losses of $0.1 million.

We test for other-than-temporary losses on a quarterly basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an investment may not be recoverable. We consider thethese unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. We intend to hold our investments until the full principal amount can be recovered, and we have the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. Gross realized gains and losses were not significant during the first three months of fiscal 2018 or fiscal 2017.

7.Fair Value Measurements

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

8.Acquisition

On December 14, 2016, we acquired substantially all the assets of Sotawall, Inc. (now operating under the name Sotawall Limited or "Sotawall"). Sotawall specializes in the design, engineering, fabrication, assembly and installation of unitized curtainwall systems for industrial, commercial and institutional buildings, primarily serving the Canadian and northeastern U.S. geographic regions and is included within our Architectural Framing Systems segment. Sotawall's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements and within the Architectural Framing Systems segment since the date of acquisition.

The assets and liabilities of Sotawall were recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values. The purchase price allocation was completed in the current quarter reflecting subsequent working capital adjustments and final intangible asset values as follows:

9.10.Debt

Debt, at November 26, 2016 consisted ofJune 3, 2017, included $20.4 million of industrial revenue bonds that mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds approximatesapproximated carrying value at November 26, 2016,June 3, 2017, due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 7.

As defined within our amended committed revolving credit facility, we are required to comply withWe have two financial covenants. These financial covenants that require us to stay below a maximum leveragedebt-to-EBITDA ratio and to maintain a minimum ratio of interest coverage ratio.expense-to-EBITDA. Both ratios are computed quarterly, with EBITDA calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis. At November 26, 2016,June 3, 2017, we were in compliance with both financial covenants. Additionally, at June 3, 2017, we had a total of $23.5 million of ongoing letters of credit related to industrial revenue bonds and construction contracts that expire in fiscal 2018 and reduce availability of funds under our committed credit facility.

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in our Architectural Services segment,and Architectural Framing Systems segments, we are required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance. At November 26, 2016, $113.2June 3, 2017, $66.0 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $327.5$329.7 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.

Letters of credit. At November 26, 2016June 3, 2017, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which we were obligated as of November 26, 2016June 3, 2017 was approximately $23.5 million, all of which have been issued under our committed revolving credit facility. Availability under this $175.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility.

Purchase obligations. Purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures totaled $141.7115.5 million as of November 26, 2016.June 3, 2017.

New Markets Tax Credit transaction. In June 2016, we entered into a transaction with a subsidiary of Wells Fargo (WF) under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program related to an investment in plant and equipment within our Architectural Glass segment (the Project). The NMTC transaction is subject to 100 percent tax credit recapture for a period of seven years. Therefore, proceeds received in exchange for the transfer of the tax credits will be recognized as earnings in fiscal 2024, if the expected tax benefits are delivered without risk of recapture to WF and our performance obligation is relieved.

In exchange for substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credits, WF contributed $6.0 million to the Project, which is included in other non-current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the arrangement have been deferred and will be recognized in proportion to the recognition of the related profits. These costs amounted to $0.9 million and are included in other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Variable-interest entities have been created as a result of the transaction structure, which have been included within our consolidated financial statements as WF does not have a material interest in the underlying economics of the Project.

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

Net sales
Consolidated net sales increased 15.09.9 percent, or $35.7$24.4 million, for the thirdfirst quarter ended November 26, 2016, and 11.3 percent, or $81.4 million, for the nine months ended November 26, 2016,June 3, 2017, compared to the same periodsperiod in the prior year. Sales growth in the third-quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal 2017 compared to the same periods of fiscal 2016 was largely due to gainsthe additional sales from Sotawall within the Architectural Framing Systems segment. Sales also grew as a result of volume growth within two other businesses in the Architectural Framing Systems segment and volume across all three architectural segments, driven by continued strengthgrowth with U.S. mid-size projects in non-residential construction end-markets and success in our strategies to expand geographically and introduce new products. Additionally, the nine-month period benefited by timing of project activity driving growth in our Architectural ServicesGlass segment. Foreign currency did not have a meaningful impact on sales results in either of the current year periods as compared tocurrent-year period or the prior-year periods.period.

Backlog
Backlog represents the dollar amount of signed contracts or firm orders, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process, which is expected to be recognized as revenue in the near-term. Backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of contract profitability. Backlog should not be used as the sole indicator of our future revenue and earnings. In addition to projects considered to be backlog, we have a substantial amount of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period, which arein this segment, backlog is not included in thisconsidered a significant metric.

Architectural Glass segment backlog as of November 26, 2016, was $84.6 million, compared to $90.7 million at the end of the prior quarter.

As a result, there is a higher level of book-and-bill activity within quarters. In each period, backlog includes approximately $10 million of intersegment orders.

Architectural Framing Systems segment backlog has grown from $130.5 million at the end of the prior quarter to $164.1 million at November 26, 2016, due to recent increased order activity, particularly of longer lead-time contracts. Approximately half the revenue in this segment is derived from smaller projects and book-and-bill activity within the quarter.

Backlog in the Architectural Services segment has declined from $236.1 million at the end of the prior quarter to $195.5 million at November 26, 2016, due to timing of signed contracts. As a project does not enter backlog until a contract is signed, this timing can have a significant impact on this segment's backlog. In the Architectural Services segment, we have additional visibility beyond backlog because projects awarded, verbal commitments and bidding activities are monitored separately and are not included in backlog until a contract is signed.

Backlog is not a significant metric for the LSO segment, as orders are typically booked and billed within a few days.

Cash provided by operating activities was $70.5$5.9 million for the first ninethree months of fiscal 2017, decreasing $15.72018, increasing $6.4 million over the prior yearprior-year period due to timing of working capital and tax payments, partially offset by increased profitability.payments.

Investing Activities. In the first ninethree months of fiscal 2018 and 2017, net cash used by investing activities was $59.2 million, compared to $91.4 million in the same period last year. Current year usage was mainly in the form of capital expenditures, while the prior year was driven by net purchases of short-term marketable securities. In relation to our New Markets Tax Credit transaction, we also hold $14.9 million of cash in the current year, restricted for investment in our oversized glass fabrication project in our Architectural Glass segment expected to take place over the next six to nine months (see Note 13 for additional discussion).

capital expenditures. We expect totalestimate fiscal 20172018 capital expenditures to be approximately $70$60 million, primarily usedas we continue to increase our product capabilities. In particular, we are investinginvest in the oversized glass fabrication project,capabilities and to increase our manufacturing productivity across our reporting segments.productivity.

We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses, pursue geographic expansion, take actions to manage capacity and/or further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.

Financing Activities. In November 2016,As of June 3, 2017, we amended ourmaintained a $175.0 million committed revolving credit facility as describedthat expires in Note 9, and now have a limit of $175 million, with the ability to expand to $275 million.November 2021. As defined within our amended committed revolving credit facility, we are required to comply with two financial covenants. These financial covenants require us to stay below a maximum leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio. At November 26, 2016,June 3, 2017, we were in compliance with both financial covenants.

Our BoardWe paid dividends totaling $4.0 million ($0.14 per share) in the first three months of Directors hasfiscal 2018. We did not repurchase shares under our authorized a share repurchase program. We repurchased 250,001 shares under the program for a total cost of $10.8 million during the current third-quarterfirst three months of fiscal 2018 or fiscal 2017. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, in June and nine-month periods. In the prior year third-quarter and nine-month periods,July 2017, we repurchasedpurchased 150,000 shares under the program for a total cost of $7.3$8.2 million. We have repurchased a total of 3,307,6333,457,633 shares, at a total cost of $72.3$80.5 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 942,367792,367 shares under this program, which has no expiration date. We also paid dividends totaling $10.7 million ($0.375 per share) in the first nine months of fiscal 2017.

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

Purchase obligations in the table above relate to raw material commitments and capital expenditures.

We expect to make contributions of $1.0 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2017,2018, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As of November 26, 2016June 3, 2017, we had reserves of $5.3$4.8 million and $1.5$1.4 million for unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We expect approximately $0.5$0.5 million of the unrecognized tax benefits to lapse during the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods the remaining unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities will ultimately be settled.

At November 26, 2016June 3, 2017, we had a total of $23.5 million of ongoing letters of credit related to industrial revenue bonds and construction contracts that expire in fiscal 2018 and reduce availability of funds under our committed credit facility. The letters of credit by expiration period are:

 $23,482

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At November 26, 2016, $113.2June 3, 2017, $66.0 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $327.5$329.7 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to make any payments related to these performance bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.

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

Subsequent EventEvents
On December 14, 2016,June 9, 2017, we acquired substantially all the assets of Sotawall Inc., a privately-held curtainwall design and fabrication company based in Toronto, Canada, for approximately $135 million (USD). The acquisition was funded through a combination of approximately $70 million of existing cash and short-term investments and approximately $65 million fromexpanded our committed revolving linecredit facility (see Note 9) to $335.0 million. There were no significant changes to terms associated with this expansion.

On June 12, 2017, we acquired 100 percent of credit. Purchasethe stock of EFCO Corporation, a privately-held U.S. manufacturer of architectural aluminum window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems for commercial construction projects for $192.0 million, funded by our committed revolving credit facility. Preliminary purchase accounting will be performedcompleted in the fourthsecond quarter and the acquired company will be included within our Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment. Results of operations for SotawallEFCO will be included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Non-GAAP Measures

We analyze non-GAAP measures for adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per common share and adjusted operating income. These measures are used by management to evaluate the Company's financial performance on a more consistent basis and improve comparability of results from period to period, because they exclude certain amounts that are not considered part of core operating results. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported financial results of the company prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures presented below may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

The following table reconciles net earnings to adjusted net earnings and earnings per diluted common share to adjusted earnings per diluted common share.

Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 20172018 results, and do not include the impactinclusive of the recent EFCO acquisition. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
Revenue growth of approximately 1026 to 28 percent over fiscal 2016.2017.
GrossOperating margin of approximately 26.710.5 percent and operating margin of approximately 11.5to 11.0 percent.
EarningsDiluted earnings per share of $2.85$3.31 to $2.95.$3.51.
Adjusted operating margin of 11.5 to 12.0 percentand adjusted diluted earnings per share of $3.65 to $3.85(1).
Capital expenditures of approximately $70$60 million.
(1)Adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the after-tax impact of amortization of short-lived acquired intangible assets associated with the acquired backlog of Sotawall and EFCO of $7 million ($0.24 per diluted share) and acquisition-related costs for Sotawall and EFCO of approximately $2.9 million ($0.10 per diluted share). These two adjustments have a combined approximate 100 basis point impact on operating margin. These non-GAAP measures are used by management to evaluate prospective financial performance on a more consistent basis across periods. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the financial results of the company prepared in accordance with GAAP.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

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

Item 1A.Risk Factors

There have been no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2016March 4, 2017.
