The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The provisions of the standard, as well as all subsequently issued clarifications to the standard, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard can be adopted using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach.
The Company currently believes the most significant impact of this standard upon adoption relates to the revenue recognition for custom fabricated products within the Company's Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment. Under this standard, the Company expects to recognize revenue on an over time basis on custom fabricated products in the Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment which is a change from our current revenue recognition policy of point-in-time basis. The Company expects revenue recognition related to the remaining Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment, Residential Products segment and Renewable Energy and Conservation segment to remain substantially unchanged upon adoption of this standard. The Company has identified and is in the process of implementing appropriate changes to the Company's business processes, systems and internal controls to support recognition and disclosure under this standard. The Company currently anticipates adopting the modified retrospective transition method approach. The Company has not yet completed the process of quantifying the effects of any changes that will result from adoption.

These assets were written down to their sale or scrap value, and were subsequently sold or disposed of.

As noted above, the Company sold its European industrial manufacturing business to a third party on April 15, 2016 from its Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment. This divestiture did not meet the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation as it does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations. Similarly, neither the exiting of the Company’s small European residential solar racking business nor its U.S. bar grating product line met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation for the year ended December 31, 2016. Therefore, prior period results of continuing operations have not been restated to exclude the impact of the divested and existed businesses' financial results. The pretax loss on sale of the European industrial manufacturing business is presented within other expense (income) in the consolidated statement of operations. The costs related to the exit of the Company's small European residential solar racking business and its U.S. bar grating product line are reflected in the above tables.

We use certain operating performance measures, specifically consolidated gross margin, operating margin by segment and consolidated operating margin, to manage our businesses, set operational goals, and establish performance targets for incentive compensation for our employees. We define consolidated gross margin as a percentage of total consolidated gross profit to total consolidated net sales. We define operating margin by segment as a percentage of total income from operations by segment to total net sales by segment and consolidated operating margin as a percentage of total consolidated income from operations to total consolidated net sales. We believe consolidated gross margin, operating margin and consolidated operating margin may be useful to investors in evaluating the profitability of our segments and Company on a consolidated basis.

Overview
Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading manufacturer and distributorprovider of building products and services for the industrial, transportation infrastructure, residential housing, renewable energy, residential, agtech, and resource conservation markets. Our business strategy is designed to significantly elevate and accelerate the growth and financial returns of the Company. We believe this can be achieved, in part, from a transformational change in the Company’s portfolio, as well as, the implementation of the strategy described below. Our business strategy has four key elements, or "pillars," which are: operational excellence, product innovation, portfolio management, and acquisitions as a strategic accelerator. We strive to deliver best-in-class, sustainable value creation for our shareholders for the long-term.

Operational excellence is our first pillar in this strategy. 80/20 simplification ("80/20") is a core part of the operational excellence pillar and is based on the analysis that 25% of the customers typically generate 89% of the revenue in a business, and 150% of the profitability. Through analysis of data generated by our 80/20 practices, we are focusing on our largest and best opportunities (the “80”) and eliminating complexity associated with less profitable opportunities (the “20”) in order to generate more earnings year over year, at a higher rate of return with a more efficient use of capital.

We are in the third year of our multi-year simplification initiative. Since initiation of 80/20 in 2015, we have exceeded our initial five-year target ending 2019 of $25 million of pre-tax savings. We are currently in the middle of this 80/20 initiative, which means that there is both more work and more opportunity ahead. We are targeting greater structural changes affecting our balance sheet. We are starting the follow-on management tools of in-lining our manufacturing processes linked with market-rate-of-demand replenishment tools. These follow-on tools are focused on manufacturing the highest-volume products for our largest customers, and on a much higher level of capacity utilization. We expect these methods will yield additional benefits including lower manufacturing costs, lower inventories and fixed assets, and an even higher level of service to customers.

The second pillar of our strategy is portfolio management, which is a natural adjunct to the 80/20 initiative. Using the 80/20 process, we conduct strategic reviews of our customers and end markets, and allocate leadership time, capital and resources to the platforms and businesses with the highest revenue and margin potential. Following the sale of our European industrial manufacturing business to a third party in April 2016, we decided in December 2016 to exit our small European residential solar racking business and U.S. bar grating product line, both of which proceeded as planned. These portfolio changes have helped contribute to the Company's realization of a higher rate of return on invested capital in 2016. We have now acted on all near-term portfolio assessments and expect no additional changes in 2017 while we continue to position our resources on more attractive projects andinfrastructure markets.



Product innovation is our third strategic pillar. Innovation is centered on the allocation of new and existing resources to opportunities that we believe will produce sustainable returns. Our focus is on driving top line growth with new and innovative products. We are focused on those products and technologies that have relevance to the end-user and can be differentiated from our competition. Our initiatives will be tailored toward reallocating sales and marketing talent to target specific end user groups in order to better understand their needs and the various market opportunities that may be available. This effort is expected to produce ideas and opportunities that generate profitable growth. Our focus on innovation is centered on four markets: postal, parcel and storage solutions; residential air management; infrastructure; and renewable energy. These respective markets are expected to grow based on demand for: centralized mail and parcel delivery systems; zero carbon footprint homes; the need for repairs to elevated bridges that are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete; and energy sources not dependent on fossil fuels.

The fourth pillar of our strategy is acquisitions. We have targeted four key markets in which to make strategic acquisitions which are served by existing platforms within the Company. The existing platforms include the same areas in which we are targeting the development of innovative products: postal, parcel and storage solutions; infrastructure; residential air management; and renewable energy. These platforms are all in large markets in which the underlying trends for customer convenience and safety, energy-savings and resource conservation are of increasing importance to consumers and are expected to drive long-term demand. We believe these markets also offer the opportunity for higher returns on our investments than those we have generated in the past. The acquisitions of Rough Brothers Manufacturing, Inc., RBI Solar, Inc., and affiliates, collectively known as "RBI" in June 2015 and more recently, Nexus Corporation ("Nexus") in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, were the direct result of this strategy. We also consider businesses outside of these four markets, as we continually search out opportunities to grow our business in large markets with expected growth in demand for the foreseeable future, where we can add value through our manufacturing experience, 80/20 process and purchasing synergies.

On February 22, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Package Concierge for approximately $19 million subject to a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments provided for in the stock purchase agreement. The acquisition was financed through cash on hand. Package Concierge is a leading provider of multifamily electronic package delivery locker systems in the United States. The results of operations of Package Concierge have been included within the Residential Products segment of the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
On February 6, 2017, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its U.S. bar grating product line assets to a third party. The Company had previously announced, on December 2, 2016, its intentions to exit its U.S. bar grating product line and its European residential solar racking business as part of its portfolio management initiative. These businesses contributed a combined $75 million in revenue and pre-tax operating losses of $6 million in 2016.This action resulted in the sale and closing of 3 facilities in early 2017. These assets were a part of our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment.

On October 11, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Nexus for approximately $24 million. The acquisition was financed through cash on hand. Nexus is a leading provider of commercial-scale greenhouses to customers in the United States. The results of operations of Nexus have been included within the Renewable Energy and Conservation segment of the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

On April 15, 2016, the Company sold its European industrial manufacturing business to a third party for net of cash proceeds of $8.3 million. This business, which supplied expanded metal products for filtration and other applications, contributed $36 million in revenue to the Company's Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment in 2015 and had nearly break-even operating results. The Company's divestiture of this business was the result of the Company's portfolio management assessments.

The Company serves customers primarily throughout North America and, to a lesser extent, Asia. Our customers include major home improvement retailers, wholesalers, industrial distributors, contractors, solar developers and institutional and commercial growers of plants. As of September 30, 2017, we operated 42 facilities in 17 states, Canada, China, and Japan, giving us a base of operations to provide customer support, delivery, service and quality to a number of regional and national customers and providing us with manufacturing and distribution efficiencies in North America, as well as a presence in the Asian markets.


The Company operates and reports its results in the following threefour reporting segments, entitled:segments:
Residential Products;Renewables;
Renewable EnergyResidential;
Agtech; and Conservation;
Infrastructure.

The Company serves customers primarily in North America including renewable energy (solar) developers, home improvement retailers, wholesalers, distributors, institutional and commercial growers of food and plants, and contractors. As part of our continuing operations at March 31, 2021, we operated 36 facilities, comprised of 26 manufacturing facilities, one distribution center, and nine offices, which are located in 16 states, Canada, China, and Japan.

Consolidated net sales increased by $1.8$72.2 million, or 0.7%33.5%, to $274.6$287.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020. The 33.5% increase in salesrevenue was driven by the Renewables and Residential segments. Sales generated from our prior year acquisitions of TerraSmart, Thermo, Delta Separations and Architectural Mailboxes contributed 23.5%, or $50.6 million to the growth from the prior year quarter. The $21.6 million, or 10.0% increase, in organic growth during the current year quarter was primarily the result of increased volumesvolume in ongoing revenue streams along with contributions fromboth our recent acquisitionsResidential and Renewables segments, which more than offset the organic volume declines in both our Agtech and our Infrastructure segments.
Net sales in our Renewable Energy and Conservation and Residential Products Segments, Nexus in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, respectively. Also contributingRenewables segment increased $38.2 million, or 80.8%, to $85.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $47.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Sales generated from the prior year acquisition of TerraSmart of $37.3 million, primarily contributed to the increase in the current year quarter. Organic revenue increased 2.1% during the quarter as strong execution on continued demand for solar solutions was partially offset by projects impacted by the pandemic-related scheduling delays, inclement weather, ongoing supply chain dynamics including reduced customers' access to solar panels, as well as, a modest 1.0%decline in safe-harbor related demand due to the extension of the investment tax credit in late 2020. Backlog improved 138% year over year, or 23% on an organic basis for this segment.
Net sales in our Residential segment increased 35.6%, or $36.8 million, to $140.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $103.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase from the prior year quarter was largely due to continued strong activity across all residential businesses along with

participation gains across that offset challenges from inclement weather, supply chain dynamics. Sales from the prior year acquisition of Architectural Mailboxes also contributed $8.7 million to the increase in pricing to customers. Partially offsetting these increases were the results of divestitures related to the Company’s portfolio management activities during 2016. This included the exit of both the Company's small European residential solar racking business and the Company's U.S. bar grating product line, both of which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016. These divestitures resulted in a decrease in revenues of $17.1 million from the priorcurrent year quarter.

Organic revenue decreased $7.1 million, impacted by the result of a net increase in volumepandemic, inclement weather, supply chain dynamics, along with salesslower but improving market conditions for greenhouse structure and processing extraction equipment serving the cannabis and hemp markets. Partially offsetting these impacts was continued growth and momentum in the produce market. Sales generated from Thermo and Delta Separations acquired in the acquisitionfirst quarter of Package Concierge2020, contributed $4.6 million, partially offsetting the decrease in this segment. While backlog decreased 12% year over year, due to the 2020 slowdown in the cannabis and an increasehemp markets, which are improving but not fully recovered, sequentially, backlog increased 5% due primarily to strength in pricing to customers. The volume increase resulted fromthe produce business offsetting the impact of the slower demand for our commercial package solutions as well as our roofing-related ventilationin the cannabis and rain dispersion products.hemp markets.

While revenue was down modestly driven by delays in customer delivery schedules related to the timing of state and federal funding, backlog remained strong increasing 15% compared to the prior year quarter.
Our consolidated gross margin decreased to 20.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 23.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was partly the result of salescosts incurred during the current year quarter related to the planned discontinuation of our organic solar tracker solution as we migrate towards the solution offered by our recently acquired TerraSmart business. Additionally, lower gross margins generated from our recent acquisitions contributed to the acquisition of Nexus and an increase in volume in our domestic markets.decline as we continue to integrate them operationally.

The decrease in net sales$10.1 million increase was primarily the resultdue to $5.5 million of the Company's exit from its U.S. bar grating product line. Also a decrease in demandincremental SG&A expenses recorded quarter over quarter for our infrastructure productsrecent acquisitions and transaction costs to complete those acquisitions, along with $3.3 million of higher performance-based compensation expenses as compared to the third quarter in the prior year, which include components for bridges and elevated highways, contributed to the decline in volume due to continued delay in infrastructure projects. We expect this decline to be temporary as backlog and bookings for this business have increased compared to the prior year quarter andquarter. Despite the market shows signs of recovery.
Our consolidated gross margin slightly increased to 25.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 24.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was largely the result of portfolio management actions during 2016 in which less profitable businesses or product lines were sold or exited in order to enable the Company to re-allocate leadership, time, capital and resources to the highest potential platforms and businesses. This increase was largely offset by a less favorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $8.3 million, or 20.1%, to $33.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $41.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The $8.3 million decrease was primarily due to $7.6 million of lower performance-based compensation expenses, along with a $2.2 million decrease in senior leadership transition costs. These were partially offset by $2.3 million of additional expense from the acquisitions of Nexus and Package Concierge.above increases, SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 12.0%16.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to 15.2%17.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Our Residential ProductsThe Renewables segment generated an operating margin of 18.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 16.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase of $4.4 million of operating profit is due to the benefits of improved operational efficiencies and contributions from the 80/20 initiative.

The Renewable Energy and Conservation segment generated an operating margin of 13.1%(0.6)% in the current year quarter compared to 20.0%9.2% in the prior year quarter. The declinedecrease in operating margin reflectswas the combined result of costs incurred during the current year quarter related to the discontinuation of our organic solar tracker solution along with expected lower margins generated by our recent acquisitions, the result of backlog amortization and integration costs, as we continue to integrate them operationally. Partially offsetting the lower margin is improvement in our core business resulting from continued strong execution in our manufacturing facilities and field operations and diligent price to cost management initiatives. Our acquisition integration plans remain on schedule and we expect to see margins expand during 2021.

The Residential segment generated an unfavorable alignmentoperating margin of material16.4% in the current year quarter compared to 13.3% in the prior year quarter. The increase in operating margin was the result of volume leverage, solid management of price to input costs, and continued benefits from 80/20 simplification initiatives offsetting higher costs for materials, labor and logistics management challenges incurred during the current year quarter.
Our Agtech segment generated an operating margin of 2.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to customer selling prices2.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in operating margin was the combined result of the continued slower greenhouse structures and processing equipment market for cannabis and hemp that impacted mix in the quarter. Integration of Thermo continues to be impacted by the closure of the US Canadian border. We have completed the bulk of those lower margin projects that we acquired, substantially completed the integration of the processing businesses, and expect to see margins expand throughout the course of 2021.
Our Infrastructure segment generated an operating margin of 13.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 10.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase resulted from continued strong execution in our fabricated products sales along with higher margin mix resulting from increased non-fabricated product volumes.

Unallocated corporate expenses increased $4.3 million from $8.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $12.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in expense was primarily the result of $2.9 million of higher performance-based compensation expenses as compared to the prior year quarter.


Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment generated an operating margin of 4.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The improvement was largely the result of costs incurred in the prior-year quarter related to our 80/20 simplification initiatives. Partially offsetting this improvement were the effects of lower volumes from our infrastructure products and an unfavorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices.

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $9.0 million from $11.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease from the prior year quarter was largely due to a $7.4 million decrease in performance-based compensation expenses, along with a $2.2 million decrease in senior leadership transition costs.
The Company recorded otherInterest expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and otherMarch 31, 2021 was primarily the result of outstanding balances on the Company's revolving credit facility during the quarter, of which $58.0 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Interest expense of $0.2 millionincurred for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase from the prior year quarterMarch 31, 2020 was primarily due to foreign currency fluctuations.
Interest expense modestly decreased by $0.1 million to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, nonegligible. No amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.facility during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Consolidated net sales decreased by $47.3 million, or 6.1%, to $728.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in sales was primarily the result of divestitures related to the Company’s portfolio management activities during 2016. The Company sold its European industrial manufacturing business in April 2016 to a third party and exited both the Company's small European residential solar racking business and the Company's U.S. bar grating product line, both of these divestitures commenced during the fourth quarter of 2016. These divestitures resulted in a decrease in revenues of $66.2 million from the prior year. Partially offsetting these divestitures were net sales contributions from our recent acquisitions in our Renewable Energy and Conservation and Residential Products Segments, Nexus in October 2016 and Package Concierge in February 2017, respectively. A net decrease in volume of 2.0% in comparable revenue streams nearly offset by a modest 2.0% increase in pricing to customers also contributed to the overall decrease in sales year over year.
Net sales in our Residential Products segment increased 6.9%, or $23.2 million to $361.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $338.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was largely the result of a net increase in volume along with sales generated from the acquisition of Package Concierge and an increase in pricing to customers. The net sales volume increase wasitems due to an increase in demand for our ventilation and roofing products along with increased demand for our multifamily postal and parcel storage products.
Net sales in our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment decreased 1.0%, or $2.0 million to $202.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $204.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was the result of the exit of the Company's small European residential solar racking business and continued softness in our international markets, partially offset by sales generated from the acquisition of Nexus and increased volume in our domestic markets. As expected, total volume declined in the first nine months of 2017 as we entered 2017 with lower levels of backlog,

which resulted in lower sales in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016. Backlog has improved for this segment and now exceeds its prior year levels.
Net sales in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment decreased 29.4%, or $68.6 million to $164.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $233.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in net sales was the combined result of the Company's exit from its U.S. bar grating product line and the divestiture of our European industrial manufacturing business, along with a 5.0% decrease in volume as compared to the same period in the prior year. A decrease in demand for our infrastructure products, which include components for bridges and elevated highways, contributed to the decline in volume due to continued delay in infrastructure projects. We expect this decline to be temporary due to federal and state funding availability and as evidenced by an increase in segment backlog during the current year.
Our consolidated gross margin remained relatively unchanged at 24.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 24.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company benefited from portfolio management actions during 2016 in which less profitable businesses or products lines were sold or exited in order to enable the Company to re-allocate leadership, time, capital and resources to the platforms and businesses with the highest potential revenue and margins. In addition, other portfolio management actions taken resulting from our 80/20 initiatives contributed to maintaining the margin as well. These benefits were largely offset by less favorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices.
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $8.5 million, or 7.2%, to $109.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $118.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The $8.5 million decrease was primarily due to a $11.5 million decrease in performance-based compensation expenses, along with a $1.5 million decrease in senior leadership transition costs. These decreases were partially offset by $5.9 million of additional expense from the acquisitions of Nexus and Package Concierge, along with a $2.9 million increase in portfolio management charges related to our 80/20 initiatives. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 15.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 15.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Our Residential Products segment generated an operating margin of 17.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 15.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase of $9.6 million of operating profit is primarily due to the benefits of improved operational efficiencies and contributions from the 80/20 initiative.

The Renewable Energy and Conservation segment generated an operating margin of 9.1% in the current year compared to 17.1% in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume, an unfavorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices, along with $2.4 million of reduction of workforce and facility cleanup costs incurred to exit the European solar racking business.

Our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment generated an operating margin of 3.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 4.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was largely an unfavorable alignment of material costs to customer selling prices, partially offset by a net reduction in costs incurred to exit the Company's U.S. bar grating product line .
Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $9.9 million from $25.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $16.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The lower expenses in the current year was primarily due to the decrease in performance-based compensation expenses.

The Company recorded other expense of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Other expense of $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily comprised of the $8.8 million pre-tax loss on the sale of our European industrial manufacturing business, partially offset by net gains on foreign currency transactions.
Interest expense decreased by $0.4 million to $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
We recognized a provision for income taxes of $21.1 million and $12.1 million, with effective tax rates of 35.8% and 22.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes and $2.2 million of pretax losses generated by the European residential solar racking business for which noexcess tax benefit has been recorded as such benefit is not expected to be realizable, partially offset by net deductible permanent differences and favorable discrete items. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a discrete tax benefit of $11.4 million resulting from the sale of our European industrial manufacturing business along with net deductible permanent differences,on stock-based compensation, partially offset by state taxes.taxes and nondeductible permanent differences.


Outlook

We have successfully generated positivebelieve that our cash flows from operating activities which have fundedon hand and available borrowing capacity provided under our capital requirements and recent acquisitions as noted below in “Cash Flows.”

On December 9, 2015, we entered into the Company's FifthSixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement") which includes a 5-year, $300 million revolvingprovide us with ample liquidity and capital resources to weather the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic while continuing to invest in operational excellence, growth initiatives and the development of our organization. After pausing in early 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, we continued with our strategic initiatives to invest in opportunities that strengthen our business platforms for the markets we serve through the acquisitions of Architectural Mailboxes, Sunfig and TerraSmart in the fourth quarter of 2020. We continue to remain focused on managing our working capital, closely monitoring customer credit facility and provides the Company with accesscollection activities, and working to capital and improved financial flexibility. As of September 30, 2017, our liquidity of $496.8 million consisted of $208.0 million of cash plus $288.8 million of availability under our revolving credit facility.extend payment terms. We believe thisour liquidity, together with the cash expected to be generated from operations, should be sufficient to fund working capital needs and simplification initiatives that likely will need cash to fund transitions and future growth. We continue to search for strategic acquisitions and larger acquisitions may require additional borrowings and/or the issuance of our common stock.growth initiatives.

Our Senior Credit Agreement provides the Companyus with liquidity and capital resources for use by our U.S. operations. Historically, our foreign operations have generated cash flow from operations sufficient to invest in working capital and fund their capital improvements. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, our foreign subsidiaries held $25.2$15.2 million of cash in U.S. dollars. We believe

The deferred tax payments will be repaid equally in 2021 and allows the foreign business units to reinvest in their operations. These cash resources could eventually be used to grow our business internationally. Repatriation of this cash for domestic purposes could result in significant tax consequences.2022.

Over the long-term, we expect that future obligations,investments, including strategic business opportunities such as acquisitions, may be financed through a number of sources, including internally available cash, availability under our revolving credit facility, new


debt financing, the issuance of equity securities, or any combination of the above. AnyAll potential acquisitions are evaluated based on our acquisition strategy, which includes the enhancement of our existing products, operations, or capabilities, expanding our access to new products, markets, and customers, with the goal of creating compounding and the improvement of shareholdersustainable stockholder value. The recent acquisitions of Nexus Corporation and Package Concierge on October 11, 2016 and February 22, 2017, respectively, were financed through cash on hand.

These expectations are forward-looking statements based upon currently available plans and information and may change if conditions in the credit and equity markets deteriorate or other circumstances change. To the extent that operating cash flows are lower than current or expected levels, or sources of financing are not available or not available at acceptable terms, our future liquidity may be adversely affected.
