~~Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries~~

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). ~~There were no investments~~Investments in ~~affiliates that would render such affiliates to be considered variable interest entities.~~50% or less owned entities are accounted for using either cost or the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation under GAAP. Uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic will likely impact our operations, customers, and various areas of risk. We assessed certain accounting matters that require the use of estimates and assumptions in context with the known and projected future impacts of COVID-19. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Interim Reporting Period ~~Reporting~~

The accompanying unaudited ~~interim~~quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)~~GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).

The unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth therein in accordance with GAAP. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data provided herein were derived from audited financial statements included in the 2019 Form 10-K, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The Company’s quarterly results fluctuate. As a result, the Company believes the results of operations for this interim period presented are not indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.

Revenue Recognition

Generally, the Company’s revenue contract with a customer exists when goods are shipped, and services (if any) are rendered; and its related invoice is generated. The duration of the contract does not extend beyond the promised goods or services already transferred. The transaction price of each distinct promised product or service specified in the invoice is based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer at a point in time or as the ~~earnings process is complete, net~~services are completed. The Company’s shipping terms provide the primary indicator of ~~applicable provision for discounts, returns and incentives, whether actual or estimated, based on~~ the ~~Company’s experience. This generally occurs when products are shipped to the customer in accordance with the sales agreement or purchase order, ownership and risk~~transfer of ~~loss pass to the customer, collectability is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable.~~control. The Company’s general shipping terms are F.O.B. shipping point, where title and ~~title is transferred~~risk and ~~revenue is recognized~~rewards of ownership transfer at the point when the products ~~are shipped to customers. When~~leave the ~~Company sells F.O.B. destination point, title is transferred and the~~Company’s warehouse. The Company recognizes revenue based on ~~delivery or~~the consideration specified in the invoice with a customer, ~~acceptance, depending~~less any sales incentives, discounts, and amounts collected on ~~terms~~behalf of third parties (i.e., governmental tax authorities). Based on historical experience with the ~~sales agreement. Service sales, representing after-market repair~~customer, the customer's purchasing pattern and ~~maintenance, engineering activities and software license sales and services, although less than 1.0%~~its significant experience selling products, the Company concluded that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of ~~net sales and~~revenue recognized will not ~~material~~occur when the uncertainty (if any) is resolved (that is, when the total amount of purchases is known). Refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements, are recognized as the services are completed or the software products and services are delivered. If actual costs of sales returns, incentives and discounts were to significantly exceed the recorded estimated allowance, the Company’s sales would be adversely affected.Note 2 for additional information.

~~Dividend Declaration and Notice of Annual Meeting~~

~~On September 28, 2017, the Board of Directors of~~data centers. As an accounting policy for short-term leases, the Company ~~(the "Board") declared~~elected to not recognize the right-of-use asset and liability, if, at the commencement date, the lease (1) has a ~~cash dividend~~term of ~~$0.21per share, payable on January 25, 2018 to shareholders of record as of January 4, 2018~~12 months or less and ~~scheduled the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders for Monday, April 24, 2018.~~

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company ~~currently maintains an equity incentive plan, the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), which was originally adopted~~recognizes stock-based expense related to restricted stock unit awards on April 26, 2011, and was subsequently amended and restated on April 21, 2015. The 2011 Plan amended and restated in their entirety, and incorporated and superseded, both the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”), which was principally for the Company’s employees, and the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 1995 Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”), which was for its independent directors. Awards previously granted under the 1994 Plan or the 1995 Plan were not affected by the adoptiona straight-line basis, net of ~~the 2011 Plan and continued to be governed by the 1994 Plan or the 1995 Plan, respectively.~~

Under the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan, the Company could grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, although the Company granted only non-qualified stock options thereunder. The Company generally granted stock options under each of the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan once every year. Stock options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date. Stock options granted under the 1994 Plan typically vested evenlyestimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of ~~four years and have~~the awards, which is generally a vesting term of ~~seven~~four years. ~~Stock options granted under the 1995 Plan typically fully vest on the date of grant. Shares of common stock issued on exercise of stock options under the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan~~Stock-based expense related to performance share grants are ~~registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").~~

Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), although the Company currently intends to award primarily performance-based and/or time-based RSUs and to a lesser extent, if at all, non-qualified stock options (see "Note 9 Stock-Based Incentive Plans") to its employees. The Company currently intends to grant RSUs that vest on the date of grant to its independent directors. The Company does not currently intend to award incentive stock options or restricted stock. Under the 2011 Plan, no more than 16.3 million shares of the Company’s

common stock in aggregate may be issued under the 2011 Plan, including shares already issued pursuant to prior awards and shares reserved for issuance on exercise of options previously granted under the 1994 Plan and the 1995 Plan. Shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2011 Plan are registered under the Securities Act.

Subject to certain adjustments, the following limits shall apply with respect to any awards under the 2011 Plan that are intended to qualify for the performance-based exception from the tax deductibility limitations of section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time: (i) the maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be subject to stock options granted in any calendar year to any one participant shall be 150,000 shares; and (ii) the maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable or deliverable under RSUs granted in any calendar year to any one participant shall be 100,000 shares.

~~Based Payment Accounting~~ ~~("ASU 2016-09") on January 1, 2017, refer to~~ ~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standards~~ ~~below.~~

With respect to certain performance-based RSUs awarded to the Company's employees in February 2017, the achievement of their performance-based metrics was initially estimated as being probable , and therefore, their expense was recognized in the first two quarters of fiscal 2017. Based on updated information, the Company subsequently determined that the likelihood of achievement of the performance-based metrics is no longer probable for certain awards. As a result, the Company ceased recognition of expense in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 and also reversed $1.6 million of expense during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 recognized for such RSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of ~~stock-based compensation~~options or restricted stock units are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the ~~Company’s experience.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

~~The “Fair Value Measurements~~Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Assets and ~~Disclosures” topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) establishes~~liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified under a three-tier fair valuation hierarchy ~~for disclosure~~based on the observability of the inputs ~~used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes~~available in the ~~inputs into three broad levels as follows:~~market: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets

and liabilities at fair value. ~~A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the~~The fair value ~~measurement.~~

Ashierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of ~~September 30, 2017~~observable inputs and ~~2016 and December 31, 2016,~~minimize the ~~Company’s investments consisted~~use of ~~only money market funds, which are the Company’s primary financial instruments, maintained in cash equivalents and carried at cost, approximating~~unobservable inputs when measuring fair ~~value, based on Level 1 inputs. The balances of the Company's primary financial instruments at the dates indicated were as follows:~~

value. The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and ~~accrued~~other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration related to acquisitions isand equity investment are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as it is based on unobserved inputs such as management estimates and entity-specific assumptions and is evaluated on an ongoing basis. The Company does not carry its long-term debt at fair value in its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative Instruments - Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company transacts business in various foreign countries and may therefore be exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company has established risk management programs to protect against volatility in the value of non-functional future cash flows caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and tries to maintain a partial or fully hedged position for certain transaction exposures when management considers appropriate. The Company enters into short-term foreign currency derivatives contracts, namely forward contracts, to hedge only those currency exposures associated with cash flows denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on the Company's derivative contracts are designed to offset losses and gains on the transactions hedged, and accordingly, generally do not subject the Company to risk of significant accounting losses. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. The credit risk of these derivative contracts is minimized since the contracts are with a large financial institution and accordingly, fair value adjustments related to the credit risk of the counterparty financial institution are not material.

The Company sources certain materials for its concrete products from a wholly owned subsidiary in China, and as a result is exposed to variability in cash outflows associated with changes in the foreign exchange rate between the United States Dollar

and the Chinese Yuan (CNY). As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2020, the ~~estimated~~aggregate notional amount of the Company's outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was to buy CNY 70.3 million by selling $10.1 million throughout fiscal 2021.These forward contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges under the accounting standards, and fair value is included in other current assets or other current liabilities, as applicable, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net deferred gains and losses on these contracts relating to changes in fair value are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders' equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are reclassified into the line item in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of any forward contracts that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from other comprehensive income ("OCI") into earnings.

The fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts, calculated based on Level 1 inputs, was not material as of September 30, 2020, and amounts deferred in OCI are expected to be recognized as a component of cost of sales in the ~~Company's contingent consideration~~consolidated statement of operations primarily during 2021. There were no amounts recognized due to ineffectiveness during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2020

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies other investments that are highly liquid and have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s investments consisted mainly of United States Treasury securities and money market funds, included in cash equivalents which are the Company’s primary financial instruments and carried at cost, approximating fair value, based on Level 1 inputs. The balance of the Company’s primary financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and 2019 was ~~approximately a total of $1.3 million.~~$46.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company uses an estimated annual ~~effective~~ tax rate to measure the tax benefit or tax expense recognized in each interim period. ~~The following table presents the Company’s effective tax rates and income tax expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively:~~

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except percentages) 2017 2016 2017 2016
Effective tax rate 37.0 % 34.8 % 34.0 % 35.9 %
Provision for income taxes $ 16,581
$ 15,898
$ 40,972
$ 40,601

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company's effective income tax rate increased to 37% from 35%, primarily due to a reduction of the nonrecurring bargain purchase gain related to the Gbo Fastening Systems acquisition (see "Gain (adjustment) on bargain purchase of a business" below ), which was not taxable.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 34.0% from 35.9%. The decrease was primarily due to an adjusted nonrecurring bargain purchase gain related to the Gbo Fastening Systems acquisition (see "Gain (adjustment) on bargain purchase of a business" below), which was not taxable, and the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 (see "Recently Adopted Accounting Standards" below), which recognizes the excess tax benefits of stock-based awards as a reduction to income tax expense instead of the previous methodology which recorded the benefits on the balance sheets as a component of stockholders' equity.

~~Acquisitions~~

Under the business combinations topic of the FASB ASC 805, the Company accounts for acquisitions as business combinations and ascribes acquisition-date fair values to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Provisional fair value measurements are made at the time of the acquisitions. Adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the acquisition date, as information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. Fair value of intangible assets are generally based on Level 3 inputs.

~~Multi Services Dêcoupe S.A~~.

In August 2016, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Multi Services Dêcoupe S.A. ("MS Decoupe"), a Belgium public limited company, for $6.9 million. MS Decoupe primarily manufactures and distributes wood construction, plastic, and

metal labeling products in Belgium and the Netherlands, including distributing the Company's products manufactured at the Company's production facility in France. With this acquisition, the Company could potentially offer the Belgium market a wider-range of its products, shorten delivery lead times, and expand the Company's sales presence into the Netherlands market. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company finalized its fair value measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this acquisition. MD Decoupe assets and liabilities included cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million, other current assets of $1.6 million, noncurrent assets of $5.0 million, current liabilities of $0.6 million and noncurrent deferred income tax liabilities of $1.0 million. Included in noncurrent assets was goodwill of $1.4 million, which was assigned to the Europe segment, and intangible assets of $1.7 million, both of which are not subject to tax-deductible amortization. The estimated weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 10 years.

~~CG Visions, Inc.~~

In January 2017, the Company acquired CG Visions, Inc. ("CG Visions") for up to approximately $20.8 million. CG Visions provides scalable technologies and services in building information modeling ("BIM") technologies, estimation tools and software solutions to a number of the top 100 mid-sized to large builders in the United States, which are expected to complement and support the Company's sales in North America. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company finalized its fair value measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this acquisition. CG Visions assets and liabilities included other current assets of $0.5 million, noncurrent assets of $20.4 million, current liabilities and contingent consideration of $1.1 million. Included in noncurrent assets was goodwill of $10.1 million, which was assigned to the North America segment, and intangible assets of $10.3 million, both of which are not subject to tax-deductible amortization. The estimated weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets is 7 years.

~~Gbo Fastening Systems AB~~

In January 2017, the Company acquired Gbo Fastening Systems AB ("Gbo Fastening Systems"), a Sweden limited company, for approximately $10.2 million. Gbo Fastening Systems manufactures and sells a complete line of CE-marked structural fasteners as well as fastener dimensioning software for wood construction applications, currently sold mostly in northern and eastern Europe, which are expected to complement the Company's line of wood construction products in Europe.

~~Gain (Adjustment) on Bargain Purchase of a Business~~

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a preliminary nontaxable bargain purchase gain of $8.4 million, which was included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company reevaluated the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in Gbo Fastening Systems acquisition and recorded that the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was approximately $16.5 million. Consequently, a bargain purchase adjustment of $2.1 million was recorded resulting in a total of $6.3 million adjusted gain on bargain purchase of a business, which was included in the condensed consolidated statements of operation.

~~The following table represents the final allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Gbo Fastening Systems acquisition:~~

* Intangible assets acquired were determined to have little to no value, thus were not recognized.

The results of operations of businesses acquired in 2016 through 2017 were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations since the date of the applicable acquisition. Such businesses are not material to the Company on an individual or aggregate basis, and accordingly, pro forma results of operations are not presented.

~~Sales of Gbo Poland and Gbo Romania~~

As a result of incompatibility with Simpson's market strategy, the Company completed the sale of all of its equity in Gbo Fastening Systems' Poland and Gbo Romania subsidiaries on September 29, 2017 and October 31, 2017, respectively, for approximately $10.2 million, resulting in a gain of $0.4 million which was presented in the accompanying condensed statements of operations.

- Recently Adopted ~~Accounting Standards~~

In ~~March~~June 2016, the FASB issued ~~Accounting Standards Update~~ASU No. ~~2016-09, Compensation~~2016-13, “Financial Instruments - ~~Stock Compensation~~Credit Losses (Topic ~~718),~~

~~Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting~~ ("326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU ~~2016-09")~~, ~~which amends existing~~2016-13 amendments provide guidance ~~related to~~on accounting for ~~employee share-based payments affecting~~current expected credit losses on financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The required measurement methodology is based on an expected loss model that includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 eliminates the income tax consequences of awards, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2017, theprobable incurredloss recognition in current GAAP. The Company adopted ASU ~~2016-09.~~

~~This new guidance requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recognized as income tax expense or benefit~~2016-13 prospectively on January 1, 2020. Historically, the Company's actual credit losses have not been material. The Company's financial assets in the ~~income statement~~scope of ASU 2016-13 mainly consist of short-term trade receivables. In estimating expected credit loss, we are using the aging method, such as pooling receivables based on the levels of delinquency and ~~classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows.~~applying historical loss rates, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, to each pool. The Company ~~prospectively adopted this guidance with~~will regularly reassess the ~~tax impact of a $1.1 million tax benefit recognized~~customer groups by using its best judgment when considering changes in ~~the consolidated income statements~~customers' credit ratings, customers' historical payments and classified it as an operating activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The guidance also requires a policy election either to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or to account for forfeitures whenever they occur. The Company did not change its policy for calculating accrual compensation costs by estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest. Therefore, when the Company adopted this guidance, there was no recognized cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. In addition, this guidance requires cash paid by an employer, when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes, to be classified in the statement of cash flows as a financing activity, which differs fromloss experience, current market and economic conditions, and the Company's ~~previous method~~expectations of ~~classification of such cash payments as an operating activity. Accordingly, the Company applied this provision retrospectively~~future market and ~~for the nine months~~

ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and reclassified $5.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, from operating activities to financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-07,~~ ~~Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accountin~~g ("ASU 2016-07"), which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. The amendments in ASU 2016-07 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The new standard should be applied prospectively for investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting after the effective date. On January 1, 2017, the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2016-07.economic conditions. Adoption of ASU ~~2016-07 has~~2016-13 had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805):~~ ~~Clarifying the Definition of a Business~~ ("ASU 2017-01"), which changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The new guidance clarifies that a business must also include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2017, the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2017-01. Adoption of ASU 2017-01 has had no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

All other issued and effective accounting standards during ~~2017~~the third quarter of 2020 were determined to be not relevant or material to the Company.

~~Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted~~

~~Other than the following, there have been no new developments to those recently issued accounting standards disclosed in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.~~

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (later codified as ASC 606),~~2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers ~~which supersedes nearly all existing~~

Disaggregated revenue ~~recognition guidance~~

The Company disaggregates net sales into the following major product groups as described in the footnote for segment information included in these interim financial statements under ~~GAAP. ASC 606 provides a five-step model for revenue recognition~~Note 13.

Wood Construction Products Revenue. Wood construction products represented 86% and 84% of total net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Concrete Construction Products Revenue. Concrete construction products represented 14% and 16% of total net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Customer acceptance criteria. Generally, there are no customer acceptance criteria included in the Company's standard sales agreement with customers. When an arrangement with the customer does not meet the criteria to be ~~applied to all~~accounted for as a revenue ~~contracts with customers. The five-step model includes: (1) determination of whether a~~ contract ~~an agreement between two or more parties that creates legally enforceable rights and obligations, exists; (2) identification of~~under the ~~performance obligations~~standard, the Company recognizes revenue in the ~~contract; (3) determination~~amount of nonrefundable consideration received when the ~~transaction price; (4) allocation~~Company has transferred control of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services ~~equal~~and has stopped transferring (and has no obligation to transfer) additional goods or services. The Company offers certain customers discounts for paying invoices ahead of the due date, which are generally between 30 to 60 days after the issue date.

Other revenue. Service sales, representing after-market repair and maintenance, engineering activities and software license sales and services were less than 1.0% of net sales and recognized as the services are completed or by transferring control over a product to a customer at a point in time. Services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. The typical contract length for a service is generally less than one year. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual services separately when they are distinct within the context of the contract. A distinct service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package if a customer can benefit from the service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate services in a bundle based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the services.

Reconciliation of contract balances

Contract assets are the rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities are recorded for any services billed to customers and not yet recognizable if the contract period has commenced or for the amount ~~that it expects~~collected from customers in advance of the contract period commencing. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no contract assets or contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

3. Net Income Per Share

The following table reconciles basic net income per share of the Company's common stock to diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

4. Stockholders' Equity

Share Repurchases

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 902,340 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market at an average price of $69.46 per share, for a total of $62.7 million. As of September 30, 2020,

approximately $37.3 million remains available for repurchase under the previously announced $100.0 million share repurchase authorization (which expires at the end of 2020).

As of September 30, 2020, the Company held 1,020,328 shares of its common stock as treasury shares.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company allocates stock-based compensation expense related to equity plans for employees and non-employee directors among the cost of sales, research and development and other engineering expense, selling expense, or general and administrative expense based on the job functions performed by the employees to whom the stock-based compensation is awarded. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to its equity plans for employees of $4.0 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $9.5 million and $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company granted 166,951 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to the Company's employees, including officers at an estimated weighted average fair value of $74.91 per share based on the closing price (adjusted for the present value of dividends) of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The RSUs granted to the Company's employees may be performance-based and/or time-based. Certain performance-based RSUs are granted to officers and key employees, where the number of performance-based awards to be issued is based on the achievement of certain Company performance criteria established in the RSU agreement over a cumulative three-year period. These awards cliff vest after three years. In addition, these same officers and key employees also receive time-based RSUs, which vest pursuant to a three-year graded vesting schedule. Time-based RSUs that are granted to the Company's employees excluding officers and certain key employees, vest ratably over the four year vesting-term of the award.

The Company’s 7 non-employee directors are entitled to receive ~~for those goods or services. ASC 606 also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty~~approximately $690 thousand in equity compensation annually. The number of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. ASC 606 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018.

~~Company management has completed a review of our significant customer contracts and~~shares ultimately granted are based on ~~that preliminary review, we expect~~ the ~~adoption of ASC 606 will not result in material differences from our accounting for revenues under the current revenue recognition guidance effective~~average closing share price for the Company ~~today.~~over the 60 day period prior to approval of the award in April of each year. In April 2020, the Companygranted 9,239 shares of common stock to the Company's non-employee directors, based on the average closing price of $74.66 per share. The Company ~~has not yet completed the process of quantifying the effects (if any) of changes that will result from adoption.~~

ASC 606 permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized expense on these shares at ~~the date of initial application~~(modified retrospective method). The Company will adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment (if any) to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is also identifying and preparing to implement changes to our accounting policies and practices, business processes, systems and controls to support the enhanced disclosure requirements from ASC 606.

~~In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740),~~ ~~Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory~~ ("ASU 2016-16"), which requires companies to account for the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Current guidance requires companies to defer the income tax effects of intercompany transfers of assets until the asset has been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. The amendment is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Based on current information

~~and subject to future events and circumstances, the Company does not know whether ASU 2016-16 will have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.~~

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):~~ ~~Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment~~ ~~("ASU 2017-04"), which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied~~estimated fair value of ~~goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge or Step 2 of the goodwill impairment analysis. Instead, an impairment charge will be recorded~~$58.72 per share based on the ~~excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value using Step 1~~closing price of the ~~goodwill impairment analysis. The standard~~Company's common stock on the grant date, for a total expense of $543 thousand.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company's aggregate unamortized stock compensation expense was approximately $14.4 million, is ~~required~~expected to be adopted for annual and interim impairment tests performed after December 15, 2019. The amendment is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. Based on current information and subject to future events and circumstances, the Company does not know whether ASU 2017-04 will haverecognized in expense over a ~~material impact on its financial statements upon adoption.~~weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Operating Lease and Finance Obligations

On December 23, 2016, the Company acquired a 25.0% equity interest in Ruby Sketch Pty Ltd. (“Ruby Sketch”), an Australian proprietary limited company, for $2.5 million, for which the Company accounts for its ownership interest using the equity accounting method. Ruby Sketch develops software that assists in designing residential structures, primarily used in Australia, and potentially for the North America market. The Company has no obligation to make any additional capital contributions to Ruby Sketch.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an equity loss of $13 thousand and $53 thousand, respectively, with respect to its Ruby Sketch investment. However, the investment increased $82 thousand due to the foreign currency translation, primarily related to the strengthening Australian dollar against United States dollar, resulting in a $2.6 million balance as of September 30, 2017.

The Company was also required to pay customary fees as specified in a separate fee agreement to the agent under the credit facility. The Company’s unused borrowing capacity under other revolving credit lines and a term note totaled $4.0 million at September 30, 2017. The other revolving credit lines and the term note charge interest ranging from 0.47% to 8.25%, currently have maturity dates from July 2017 to December 2017. The Company had no outstanding debt balance as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, and December 31, 2016, respectively.

~~Capital~~Finance Lease Obligations

The Company ~~entered into two four-year lease agreements~~has finance leases for data centers and certain office equipment, ~~with Cisco Systems Capital Corporation for a total of approximately $4.4 million,~~ which was recorded in fixed assets as capital lease obligations. These ~~capital~~finance lease obligations are included in current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets. The interest rates for these two capital leases are 2.89% and 3.50%, respectively, and the two leases will mature in May 2021 and July 2021, respectively.

The following table provides a summary of leases included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets September 30, 2020, 2019 and December 31, 2019, condensed consolidated statements of earnings, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

The following table summarizes the Company's lease terms and discount rates as of September 30, 2020 and 2019:

In May 2020, the Company entered into a third amendment to the unsecured credit agreement dated July 27, 2012 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and certain other institutional lenders that provides for a $300.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). The Amendment extends the term of the Credit Agreement from July 23, 2021, to July 23, 2022. The Company is required to pay an annual facility fee of 0.20 to 0.35 percent on the available commitments under the Credit Agreement, regardless of usage, with the applicable fee determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The fee is included within other expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at an annual rate equal to either, at the Company’s option, (a) the rate for Eurocurrency deposits for the corresponding deposits of U.S. dollars as published by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, a United Kingdom company, or a comparable or successor quoting service approved by the Agent (the “LIBOR Rate”), adjusted for any reserve requirement in effect, plus a spread of from 0.80 to 1.65 percent, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate, plus a spread of 0.20 to 0.65 percent, as determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company’s leverage ratio. In no event shall the LIBOR Rate be less than 0.25 percent. The base rate is defined in a manner such that it will not be less than the LIBOR Rate. The Company will pay fees for standby letters of credit at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable spread described in the preceding clause (a), and will pay market-based fees for commercial letters of credit. The spread applicable to a particular LIBOR Rate loan or base rate loan depends on the consolidated leverage ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries at the time the loan is made. Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time without penalty except for LIBOR Rate breakage costs and expenses.

In March 2020, the Company elected to draw down $150.0 million from the Credit Facility to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak; and subsequently paid down $75.0 million during the third quarter of 2020. "Refer to Note 14 Subsequent Event." As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2020, the ~~current portion~~Company's total available credit was $227.5 million under this Credit Facility and other revolving credit lines.

In addition to the Credit Facility, certain of the ~~outstanding liability~~Company’s domestic subsidiaries are guarantors for a credit agreement between certain of its foreign subsidiaries and institutional lenders. Together, these credit facilities provide the ~~leased equipment~~Company with a total of $303.9 million in revolving credit lines and an irrevocable standby letter of credit in support of various insurance deductibles.

The Company was ~~approximately $1.0 million and the long-term portion was approximately $2.9 million.~~in compliance with its financial covenants at September 30, 2020.

8.12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s policy with regard to environmental liabilities is to accrue for future environmental assessments and remediation costs when information becomes available that indicates that it is probable that the Company is liable for any related claims and assessments and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Litigation and Potential Claims

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business. Corrosion, hydrogen ~~enbrittlement,~~embrittlement, cracking, material hardness, wood pressure-treating chemicals, misinstallations,

misuse, design and assembly flaws, manufacturing defects, labeling defects, product formula defects, inaccurate chemical mixes, adulteration, environmental conditions, or other factors can contribute to failure of fasteners, connectors, anchors, adhesives, specialty chemicals, such as fiber reinforced polymers, and tool products. In addition, inaccuracies may occur in product information, descriptions and instructions found in catalogs, packaging, data sheets, and the Company’s website.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings, which the Company expects individually or in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Nonetheless, theThe resolution of any claim or litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

~~Potential Third-Party Claims~~

Gentry Homes, Ltd. v. Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc., et al., Case No. 17-cv-00566, was filed in a federal district court in Hawaii against Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. and the Company on November 20, 2017. The Gentry case is a product of a previous state court class action, Nishimura v. Gentry Homes, Ltd., et al., Civil No. 11-1-1522-07, ~~was filed~~which is now closed. The Nishimura case concerned alleged corrosion of the Company’s galvanized “hurricane straps” and mudsill anchor products used in ~~the Hawaii First Circuit court on July 20, 2011. The~~ ~~Nishimura~~ ~~case involves claims by homeowners at~~a residential project in Ewa by Gentry, a Honolulu, ~~development of approximately 2,400 homes. The claims arise out of alleged corrosion of strap-tie holdowns and mud-sill anchor products supplied by~~Hawaii. In the ~~Company. The~~Nishimura case, the plaintiff homeowners ~~originally sued~~and the developer, Gentry Homes, Ltd. (“Gentry”), ~~as well as the Company. In 2012~~arbitrated their dispute and ~~2013, the Hawaii First Circuit granted the Company’s motions to dismiss and for summary judgment, resulting~~agreed on a settlement in the ~~dismissal~~amount of all of the homeowners’ claims against the Company, and the Company has not since then been a party to the proceedings. The dismissed claims against the Company remain subject to potential appeal by the plaintiffs.

~~Gentry and the plaintiff homeowners thereafter moved their dispute to arbitration, and the Hawaii state court stayed the lawsuit pending arbitration. The Company was not a party to the arbitration.~~

Gentry initially reported no significant damage claims related to the Ewa development. In August 2016, Gentry advised the Company for the first time that a substantial number of plaintiff homeowners claimed serious corrosion of mudsill anchors and strap-tie holdowns. The plaintiff homeowners and Gentry proceeded to arbitration in April 2017. During the pendency of the arbitration, Gentry and the plaintiff homeowners reached a settlement of their dispute, pursuant to which Gentry agreed to pay approximately $90 ~~million to~~million. In the ~~plaintiff homeowners.~~

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,~~be proven at trial. Gentry ~~had not yet initiated legal proceedings against the Company.~~

also seeks pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief. The Company admits no liability ~~in connection with~~and will vigorously defend the ~~Nishimura~~ ~~case.~~claims brought against it. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably ascertain the likelihood that it will be found responsible for substantial damages to Gentry or to the homeowners should they appeal; whether any legal theory against the Company might be viable, or the extent of the liability the Company might face if Gentry were to proceed against it.

~~The Company will vigorously defend any claims against it, whether appeal by the plaintiff homeowners, or third party claims by~~ Gentry. Based on the facts currently known, ~~to the Company~~ and subject to future events and circumstances, the Company believes that all or part of ~~any~~the claims ~~that any party might seek to allege~~brought against it ~~related to~~in the ~~Nishimura~~Gentry case may be covered by its insurance policies.

~~Charles Vitale, et al. v. D.R. Horton, Inc. and D.R. Horton-Schuler Homes, LLC~~, Civil No. 15-1-1347-07, a putative class action lawsuit, was filed in the Hawaii First Circuit on July 13, 2015, in which homeowner plaintiffs allege that all homes built by D.R Horton/D.R. Horton-Schuler Homes (collectively "Horton Homes") in the State of Hawaii have strap-tie holdowns that are suffering premature corrosion. The complaint alleges that various manufacturers make strap-tie holdowns that suffer from such corrosion, but does not identify the Company’s products specifically. The Company is not currently a party to the ~~Vitale~~ ~~lawsuit, but the lawsuit in the future could potentially involve the Company’s strap-tie holdowns.~~

~~If claims are asserted against the Company in the~~ ~~Vitale~~ case, it will vigorously defend any such claims, whether brought by the plaintiff homeowners, or third party claims by Horton Homes. Based on facts currently known to the Company and subject to future events and circumstances, the Company believes that all or part of any claims that any party might seek to allege against it related to the ~~Vitale~~ ~~case may be covered by its insurance policies.~~

Given the nature and the complexities involved in the ~~Nishimura~~ ~~and~~ ~~Vitale~~ ~~proceedings,~~Gentry proceeding, the Company is unable to estimate reasonably athe likelihood of possible loss or a range of possible loss until the Company knows, among other factors, (i) ~~whether it will be named in either lawsuit by any party; (ii)~~ the specific claims brought against the Company and the legal theories on which they are ~~based (iii)~~based; (ii) what claims, if any, might be dismissed without ~~trial, (iv) the extent of the claims, including the size of any potential class, particularly as damages are not specified or are indeterminate, (v)~~trial; (iii) how the discovery process will affect the ~~litigation, (vi)~~litigation; (iv) the settlement posture of the other parties to the ~~litigation, (vii)~~litigation; (v) the damages to be proven at trial, particularly if the damages are not specified or are indeterminate; (vi) the extent to which the Company’s insurance policies will cover the claims or any part thereof, if at ~~all, (viii) whether class treatment is appropriate;~~all; and ~~(ix)~~(vii) any other factors that may have a material effect on the ~~litigation.~~proceeding.

While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of proceedings to which the Company is not currently a party, or reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss for the Company related to such matters, in the opinion of the Company, either the likelihood of loss from such proceedings is remote or any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows either individually or in the aggregate. Nonetheless, the resolution of any claim or litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

~~9. Stock-Based Incentive Plans~~

The Company currently has one stock-based incentive plan, the 2011 Plan, which incorporates and supersedes its two previous plans except for awards previously granted under the two plans (see "Note 1 Basis of Presentation — ~~Accounting for Stock-Based~~

~~Compensation”~~). Generally, participants of the 2011 Plan have been granted stock-based awards, only if the applicable Company-wide and/or profit-center operating goals, or strategic goals, established by the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee (the "Committee") of the Board at the beginning of the year, were met. In 2017, some of the grants made will vest only if Company-wide and/or profit-center operating goals established by the Committee at the beginning of the year are met.

The Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2011 Plan in 2015, 2016 and 2017. The fair value of each restricted stock unit award is estimated on the measurement date as determined in accordance with GAAP and is based on the closing market price of the underlying Company's common stock on the day of the grant or the immediately preceding the trading date. The fair value excludes the present value of the dividends that the RSUs do not participate in. The RSUs may be time-based, performance-based or time- and performance-based. The restrictions on the time-based RSUs granted to our named executive officers and certain members of our senior management in 2017 and prior generally lapse on the date of the award and each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the award. The restrictions on the time-based RSUs granted in 2017 generally lapse on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of the award. The restrictions on the performance-based RSUs granted to our named executive officers and certain members of the Company’s senior management in 2017 and prior, in addition to their time-based RSUs, generally lapse following a performance period set for the RSUs on the date of the award, and shares of our common stock underlying such awards are subject to performance-based adjustment before becoming vested. In addition, the restrictions on the time- and performance-based RSUs granted to our employees in 2017 generally lapse on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of the award, provided that the applicable performance goals are achieved within the year of grant. Generally, performance-based awards (including time- and performance-based awards) granted under the 2011 Plan may vest following the end of the performance periods only if the applicable performance goals are achieved within such periods.

Under the 2011 Plan, or the applicable grant agreement, the vesting of RSUs granted thereunder may accelerate in four situations: (1) retirement after meeting certain age and/or service tenure conditions, (2) death, (3) disability, and (4) certain situations linked to a change in our control or our sale of assets. In case of early vesting of performance-based awards in any one of the four situations, shares of the underlying stock that could eventually vest in favor of the officer will be prorated based on the early-vesting date and the date when the applicable vesting period is scheduled to expire.

On February 4, 2017, 606,299 RSUs were awarded to the Company's employees, including officers, at an estimated fair value of $43.42 per share, based on the closing price on February 3, 2017. On May 16, 2017, 10,066 RSUs were awarded to each of the Company's seven independent directors at an estimated value of $41.52 per share based on the closing price of shares of the Company's common stock on May 15, 2017, which RSUs vested fully on the date of the grant.

~~10.~~13. Segment Information

The Company is organized into ~~three~~3 reportable ~~segments. The~~ segments, which are defined by the regions where the Company’s products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to the Company’s customers. The three regional segments are the North America segment, comprising primarily the United States and Canada; the Europe segment, comprising continental Europe and the United Kingdom; and the Asia/Pacific segment, ~~which the Company believes is not significant to its overall performance,~~ comprising the Company’s operations in China, Hong Kong, the South Pacific and the Middle East. The Company's China and Hong Kong operations are manufacturing and administrative support locations, respectively. These three reportable segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials ~~the~~used in production, production processes, ~~the~~ distribution channels and ~~the~~ product applications. The Company’s measure of profit or loss for its reportable segments is income (loss) from operations.

The following tables illustrate certain measurements used by management to assess the performance of its reportable segments as of or for the following periods:

* ~~The sales~~Sales to other segments are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash collected by the Company’s United States subsidiaries is routinely transferred into the Company’s cash management accounts and, therefore, has been included in the total assets of “Administrative and all other.” Cash and cash equivalent balances in the “Administrative and all other” segment were ~~$116.0~~$244.5 million, ~~$128.6~~$135.9 million, and ~~$137.4~~$161.4 million, as of September 30, ~~2017~~2020 and ~~2016,~~2019, and December 31, ~~2016,~~2019, respectively.

~~First, a continued focus~~our business, on ~~organic growth with a goal to achieve organically a net sales compound annual growth rate of approximately8% from $860.7 million reported in fiscal 2016 through fiscal 2020.~~

~~Third, improving working capital management primarily through~~

In December 2019, COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, China. Over the ~~reduction of inventory levels by aggressively eliminating 25 to 30%~~next several months, COVID-19 quickly spread across the world. In March 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic based on the rapid increase in exposure globally, and the President of the ~~Company’s product SKUs~~United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. As of October 31, 2020, the virus continues to spread infecting over 46 million people worldwide. No vaccine is currently available for COVID-19 and ~~implementing Lean principles~~the duration and severity of its effects are still unknown.

Government authorities in the countries and states where we operate have issued various and differing shelter in place, stay at home, social distancing guidelines and other measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In many ~~factories. We believe we can achieve~~of those locations our operations are classified as an ~~overall 30% reduction~~essential business and all of our ~~raw material~~manufacturing and ~~finished good~~distribution facilities continue to operate in accordance with those orders. In late March, two of our larger European manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom and France were ordered to cease nearly all operations. Those two facilities have since re-opened. To date, there have been no orders to close any of our manufacturing or distribution facilities. The Company’s management team continues to monitor and manage its ability to operate effectively and, to date, the Company has not experienced any significant disruptions within its supply chain. Our supply chain partners have been very supportive and continue to do their part to ensure that service levels to our customers remain strong and, to date, we have not experienced any supply-chain disruptions related to COVID-19 and have been able to meet our customers’ needs. We will continue to communicate with our supply chain partners to identify and mitigate risk and to manage inventory ~~over~~levels.

In response to the ~~next three years without impacting day-to-day~~COVID-19 pandemic the Company proactively took measures to maintain and preserve its strong financial position and flexibility, including drawing down on the Credit Facility, implementing a hiring freeze and adjusting employee hours to meet production ~~and shipping procedures.~~

~~We believe our efforts~~requirements, although during the year the Company has resumed hiring to ~~achieve~~meet increased demand levels that it has experienced. The Company will continue to be conservative in its capital allocation approach but does project to repay the draw down on its Credit Facility by the end of the 2020 ~~Plan will contribute~~fiscal year and has resumed the stock repurchase program in the fourth quarter 2020. As a result of COVID-19 and in support of continuing its manufacturing efforts, the Company has undertaken a number of steps to ~~improved business performance~~protect its employees, suppliers and ~~operating results, improve returns on invested capital~~⁽¹⁾customers, as their safety and ~~allow us to be more aggressive in repurchasing shares~~well-being is one of our ~~stock~~top priorities. We have instituted additional precautions in our manufacturing and distribution facilities to comply with health and safety guidelines and to protect our employees, including enhanced deep cleaning, staggered shifts, temperature checking, use of face masks, practicing social distancing and limiting non-employees at our locations, amongst other safety related policies and procedures. Many of our office workers in our manufacturing and distribution facilities, as well as the ~~near-term.~~corporate headquarters, continue to work remotely, where possible. The senior management team meets regularly to review and assess the status of the Company's operations and the health and safety of its employees.

A significant portion of the Company's total product sales is dependent on US housing starts and its business, financial condition, and results of operations depends significantly on the level of housing and residential construction activity. We ~~believe our ability to achieve industry-leading margins from a gross profit and operating income standpoint is due~~anticipated previously that the effects of responses to the ~~high level of value-added services that we provide to~~pandemic would have a negative effect on our customers. Aside from our strong brand recognition and trusted reputation, Simpson is unique due to our extensive product testing capabilities and our state-of-the-art test lab; strong customer support and education for engineers, builders and contractors; deep 40-plus year relationships with engineers that get our products specified on the blueprint and pulled through to the job site; product availability with delivery in typically 24 hours or less; and an active involvement with code officials to improve building codes and construction practices. Based on current information, we expect the competitive environment to be relatively stable. We also expect U.S.North America operations. However, single-family housing starts increased from April's and May's lower levels and increased from prior-year's level of starts. Due to ~~continue~~the return of a nationwide home center customer, increased housing starts and a strong home repair and remodel market, October 2020 sales were up compared to ~~grow as~~October 2019 and on pace for a ~~percentage~~3% increase in the ~~mid~~fourth quarter of 2020 compared to ~~high single digits over~~ the ~~next few years,~~fourth quarter of 2019. Whether this trend continues at the same pace or decline for the remainder of the

year is not known. Declines in housing and residential construction, such as housing starts and home improvement projects, which ~~should support a sustainable organic revenue growth outlook in North America for many of our products.~~

Wegenerally occur during economic downturns, have ~~invested in strategic initiatives to help us perform throughout all industry cycles, such~~as scaling up our wood construction products operations in Europe and ongoing development of our software solutions, including truss software, as our market strategy is to sell engineered product solutions. In support of this effort, we acquired Gbo Fastening Systems AB (“Gbo Fastening Systems”)

~~and CG Visions, Inc. (“CG Visions”) in January 2017, as we believe these two acquisitions fit into our current business model and growth strategy.~~

~~While acquisitions were part of a dual-fold approach to growth~~ in the past ~~our go-forward strategy will focus on organic growth, supported by strategic capital investments~~significantly reduced, and in the ~~business. As such,~~future may reduce, the demand for, and net sales, of the Company's products.

The magnitude and duration of the pandemic including its impact on our operations, supply chain partners and general economic conditions, is uncertain and we ~~will de-emphasize acquisitions activities going forward, especially as it relates~~continue to monitor the ~~concrete space. An exception may occur if~~impact of the ~~right opportunity were~~pandemic on our operations and financial condition, which was not significantly adversely impacted in the first nine months of 2020.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Unlike lumber or other products that have a more direct correlation to U.S. housing starts, our products are used to a greater extent in areas that are subject to natural forces, such as seismic or wind events. Our products are generally used in a sequential process that follows the construction process. Residential and commercial construction begins with the foundation, followed by the wall and the roof systems, and then the installation of our products, which flow into a project or a house according to these schedules. ~~Foundation product sales could be considered a leading indicator for our product sales. Sales of foundation products in the third quarter of 2017 increased compared to the same period in 2016.~~

Our sales also tend to be seasonal, with operating results varying from quarter to quarter. With some exceptions, our sales and income have historically been lower in the first and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters of a fiscal year, as our customers tend to purchase construction materials in the late spring and summer months for the construction season. ~~In addition, weather~~Weather conditions, such as extended cold or wet weather, which affect and sometimes delay installation of some of our products, could negatively affect our results of operations. Political, ~~and~~ economic events such as tariffs and the possibility of additional tariffs on imported raw materials or finished goods or such as labor disputes can also ~~affect~~have an effect on our ~~sales~~gross and ~~profitability.~~

~~Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were under 28% for the third quarter of 2017 and down 104 basis points from the prior year quarter~~operating profits as well as ~~down 185 basis points compared~~the amount of inventory on-hand.

Our operations expose us to risks associated with pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the ~~second~~COVID-19 pandemic which spread from China to many other countries including the United States. The pandemic resulted in governments around the world implementing stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, social distancing guidelines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions, business curtailments, school closures, and other measures. In addition, governments and central banks in several parts of the world had enacted fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to counteract the impacts of the pandemic.

Notwithstanding our continued operations and third quarter performance, the COVID-19 pandemic may have negative impacts on our operations, supply chain, transportation networks and customers, which may compress our margins, including as a result of ~~2017, primarily due~~preventative and precautionary measures that we, other businesses and governments are taking. Any resulting economic downturn could adversely affect demand for our products and contribute to ~~lower stock-based compensation expense~~volatile supply and ~~cash profit sharing expense on lower~~demand conditions affecting prices and volumes in the markets for our products, services and raw materials. The progression of this matter could also negatively impact our business or results of operations through the temporary closure of our operating ~~income and reduced payouts under~~locations or those of our ~~executive officer cash profit sharing plan.~~customers or suppliers, among others.

In ~~January 2017, we acquired CG Visions for approximately $20.8 million subject~~addition, the ability of our employees and our suppliers’ and customers’ employees to ~~specified holdback provisions and post-closing adjustments. This acquisition is expected~~work may be significantly impacted by individuals contracting or being exposed to ~~enable us to build closer partnerships with builders by offering software and services to help them control costs and increase efficiency at all stages~~COVID-19, or as a result of the ~~home building process. We expect~~control measures noted above, which may significantly hamper our production throughout the supply chain and constrict sales channels. The extent to ~~look for opportunities to incorporate~~which COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our ~~products into CG Visions' building~~business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information ~~modeling ("BIM") packages and apply CG Visions’ expertise to our existing and future software initiatives.~~

In January 2017, we acquired Gbo Fastening Systems for approximately $10.2 million. Gbo Fastening Systems manufactures and sells a complete line of European approved CE-marked structural fasteners, mostly in northern and eastern Europe, which we expect to eventually distribute and sell in western Europe. We have begun distributing intoconcerning the Nordic countries wood connector products that were manufactured in the Company's manufacturing facilities in western Europe. Further, we expect to access Gbo Fastening Systems' expertise in product development and testing, and proficiency in fastener manufacturing and surface treatment, to strengthen Gbo Fastening Systems' global presence and contribute engineering expertise in automatic fastening systems and fastener collation to help broaden its fastener and structural connectors lines.

~~In July 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all~~severity of the ~~outstanding shares in Gbo Fastening Systems' Poland and Romania subsidiaries ("Gbo Poland" and "Gbo Romania", respectively).

In July 2016, our Board of Directors (the ~~"Board"~~“Board”) approved a plan to replace our current in-house enterprise resource planning ~~("ERP"~~(“ERP”) and externally sourced accounting platforms with a fully integrated ERP platform from SAP America, Inc. ~~("SAP"~~(“SAP”) in

multiple phases by location ~~over a period of three to four years~~ at all facilities plus our headquarters, with a focus on configuring,

instead of customizing, the standard SAP modules.

We ~~anticipate~~went live with our first wave of the ~~ERP~~SAP implementation project in February of 2018, and we implemented SAP at five additional locations in 2019 and 2020. We are tracking toward rolling out SAP technology in our remaining North America branches by 2021, and company-wide completion of the SAP roll-out is currently targeted for 2022. Meeting the 2022 goal is highly dependent on the lifting of current travel restrictions, which are the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we believe the SAP implementation will ~~cost approximately $30 million~~be beneficial to ~~$34 million through 2019, including capital expenditures. Annual~~the Company over time, annual operating expenses ~~will~~have and are expected to continue to increase ~~from 2017 to~~through 2024 as a result of the ~~ERP project, partly~~SAP implementation, primarily due to increases in training costs and the ~~amortization~~depreciation of ~~related~~previously capitalized costs.

~~We believe that the ERP project has progressed well in the first nine months of 2017 and is currently on track and on budget.~~ As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2020, we have capitalized ~~$8.3~~$19.4 million and expensed $34.9 million of the costs, ~~associated with the ERP project.

We anticipate that, as the project progresses further into 2018, we will spend more time and resources in training our staff for the new platform, as opposed to configuring the SAP modules, and we expect to record the cost associated with such training as expense.capitalized costs.

Business Segment Information

~~Our~~Historically our North America segment has generated more revenues ~~primarily~~ from wood construction products compared to concrete construction products. ~~Due to improved economic conditions, including an increase in~~During the first nine months of 2020, the return of a nationwide home center customer, favorable weather, increased home improvement activity and increased housing starts resulted in higher sales volumes over the same time period of 2019, which had extremely wet weather in the first half of the year. Our wood construction product net sales ~~in regions of~~increased 22.6% for the ~~segment have trended up,~~quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019, primarily due to increased sales volumes in connection with the return of a nationwide home center customer and increased housing starts and repair and remodel activity, which resulted in increased sales to some of our other sales distributor channels. Our concrete construction product net sales increased 1.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019, primarily due to higher sales volumes. Operating profits increased due to higher sales, lower cost of goods sold, mostly due to lower material, and lower operating expenses. In operating expenses, increases in ~~unit sales volumes~~cash profit sharing and ~~an approximately 4% price increase for our connector products~~stock-based compensation expense were partially offset by reductions in the United Stated effective on December 1, 2016, as well as added revenues from CG Visions. See “North America” below. Our truss sales decreased slightly in the third quarter of 2017. Our truss specialists continue to convert small to medium size truss customers to our designconsulting fees and ~~management software in 2017.~~travel related expense.

During the third quarter of 2016, we initiated a multi-year plan to increase our North America factory production efficiency, aiming to achieve a 75% factory utilization rate on two full shifts by moving high-volume connector production from both our Riverside and Western Canada facilities to our other three manufacturing locations in North America. As of September 30, 2017, we had relocated 100% of our planned high-volume connector production. Our factory utilization was approximately 45% when this project began and we are currently operating at approximately 60% factory utilization. Based on current information and subject to future events and circumstances, we estimate this transition will save approximately $3.0 million per year, mostly in production costs. Both the Riverside and Western Canada locations will continue as sales and distribution locations, and maintain the capability to manufacture custom orders to continue to meet the Company's service and product availability commitments to customers in the Southwestern region of the United States and Western region of Canada.

In late 2016, we collaborated with The Home Depot, Inc. (“The Home Depot”) to roll out our mechanical anchor line of products that are available at The Home Depot. This collaboration increased a portion of our finished goods inventory and we expect to continue to introduce our mechanical anchor line of products through approximately 1,900 of The Home Depot store locations throughout 2017 and beyond. Once the rollout is completed, we anticipate this opportunity will meaningfully contribute to our concrete business lines going forward and estimate that on an annualized basis it could potentially increase our net sales by approximately $30 million. In addition, we are presenting the BIM platform acquired from CG Visions to various builders to showcase the software and for us to determine which modules and services that builders might be interested in using to support their business.

Our Europe segment also generates more revenues from wood construction products than concrete construction products. Europe net sales increased for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019, primarily due to benefiting fromapproximately $2.1 million of foreign currency translations for some Europe currencies strengthening against the United States dollar. In local currency, Europe net sales increased due to higher volumes. Wood construction product sales increased ~~67% in~~14.2% for the ~~third~~ quarter ~~of 2017~~ended September 30, 2020 compared to ~~the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of Gbo Fastening Systems.~~September 30, 2019. Concrete construction product sales are mostly project based, and net sales ~~increased 11% in~~decreased 15.2% for the ~~third~~ quarter ~~of 2017~~ended September 30, 2020 compared to ~~the third quarter of 2016,~~September 30, 2019. Gross margins decreased, mostly due to higher labor, warehouse and shipping costs, partly offset by lower material and factory and overhead costs. Operating expenses increased, primarily due to the completion of large projects during the third quarter of 2017. We are uncertain whether concrete construction product net sales will continue to grow at this pace for the remainder of 2017. In connection with the Gbo Fastening Systems acquisition, we estimated demand for wood connector products for the Nordic regionhigher cash profit sharing and have placed inventory in Sweden. Our Western European locations are working on sales and marketing plans for a complete line of fastener products and expect to introduce them to our customers by the end of 2017. See “Europe” below.stock-based compensation expense.

Our Asia/Pacific segment has generated revenues from both wood and concrete construction products. We ~~have closed our sales offices located in China, Thailand and Dubai; and discontinued our selling activities in Hong Kong, due to continued losses in the regions. We~~ believe that the Asia/Pacific segment is not significant to our overall performance.

At the time the Company withdrew its outlook it was unable to forecast its full-year outlook with reasonable accuracy given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the related impact on the Company's business. On July 27, 2020, the Company reinstated its 2020 full-year outlook originally provided on February 3, 2020 and is again updating its full year outlook, primarily reflecting three quarters of actual results, as well as improved visibility on the progression of pandemic-related restrictions and the impact of those restrictions on the Company’s operations. Based on business trends and conditions as of the day we announced our third quarter earnings, the Company's outlook for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 is as follows:

•Net sales are estimated to increase in the range of 9.0% to 10.0% compared to the full year ended December 31, 2019.

•Gross margin is estimated to be in the range of approximately 45.0% to 46.0%.

•Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, are estimated to be in the range of approximately 25.0% to 26.5%.

•The effective tax rate is estimated to be in the range of 24.5% to 26.0%, including both federal and state income tax rates.



(1	)	When referred to above, the Company’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) for a fiscal year is calculated based on (i) the net income of that year as presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), as divided by (ii) the average of the sum of the total stockholders’ equity and the total long-term liabilities at the beginning of and at the end of such year, as presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets prepared pursuant to GAAP for that applicable year. As such, the Company’s ROIC, a ratio or statistical measure, is calculated using exclusively financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Additionally, we believe the Company’s gross margins and operating margins for the 2021 fiscal year will pull back from our expectations for the full year 2020 as we anticipate costs directly related to materials, production headcount, customer engagement and investments in business growth will increase in 2021.

While the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on general economic conditions remains uncertain, the Company is continuing to monitor the impact of the pandemic on its operations and financial condition, which was not significantly adversely impacted in the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to the return of a nationwide home center customer, and increased housing starts and home improvement activity. Please note that ongoing uncertainties surrounding the impact of the pandemic on Simpson’s business, which may include the economic impact on its operations, raw material costs, consumers, suppliers, vendors, and other factors outside of its control, may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial outlook.

Third Quarter ~~2017~~2020 Consolidated Financial Highlights

The following table illustrates the differences in ~~the~~ our operating results for the three months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2020, from the three months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2019, and the increases or decreases for each category by segment:

Net sales increased ~~14%~~17.5% to ~~$262.5~~$364.3 million from ~~$231.0~~$309.9 million. ~~Recently acquired businesses accounted for $15.8 million (50%) of the increase in net sales.~~ Net sales to ~~contractor distributors,~~home centers, dealer distributors ~~home centers~~ and lumber dealers increased primarily due to ~~increased~~increases in sales volumes from the return of a nationwide home ~~construction activity and average net~~center customer. Net sales ~~unit prices.~~to contractor distributors decreased. Wood construction product net sales, including sales of connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and shearwalls, represented ~~86%~~85% and 84% of the Company's total net sales in the third quarters of ~~2017~~2020 and ~~2016,~~2019, respectively. Concrete construction product net sales, including sales of adhesives, chemicals, mechanical anchors,

powder actuated tools and reinforcing fiber materials, represented ~~14%~~15% and 16% of the Company's total net sales in the third quarters of ~~2017~~2020 and ~~2016,~~2019, respectively.

Gross profit increased 25.9% to $173.2 million from $137.6 million. Gross margins increased to ~~$119.9 million~~47.6% from ~~$113.5 million.~~44.0%, primarily due to lower material costs and factory and overhead expense (on higher production), partly offset by higher warehouse, shipping and labor expense each as a percentage of net sales.

Research and development and engineering expense ~~decreased 21%~~ increased 2.6% to ~~$8.7~~$12.3 million from ~~$10.9~~$12.0 million, ~~mostly~~primarily due to ~~a reclassification~~increases of ~~$2.5 million year-to-date expenses associated with recent the North America acquisition from engineering expense to selling expense and general and administrative expense as well decreases of $0.4~~$0.6 million in cash profit sharing expense and ~~$0.3~~$0.2 million in stock-based compensation ~~expense.~~expense on our performance based awards, partly offset by decreased software development costs.

Selling expense increased ~~16%~~6.2% to ~~$28.2~~$29.4 million from ~~$24.3~~$27.7 million, primarily due to increases of ~~$3.2~~$1.7 million in cash profit sharing and sales commissions, $0.8 million in personnel costs, ~~$0.8~~$0.4 million in ~~advertising costs~~stock-based compensation and ~~$0.6~~$0.4 million in ~~amortization expense, which was~~professional fees, partly offset by decreases of ~~$0.7~~$1.3 million in ~~stock-based compensation expense~~travel–associated expenses, and ~~$0.5~~$0.4 million in ~~cash profit sharing~~promotional and advertising expense. Recent acquisitions increased selling expense by $2.0 million, including the reclassification of $0.3 million year-to-date expenses associated with the North America acquisition from engineering expense to selling.

General and administrative expense increased ~~12%~~8.8% to ~~$36.5~~$40.3 million from ~~$32.5~~$37.0 million, primarily due to increases of $4.0 million in personnel costs, $1.6 million in depreciation expense, $1.0 million in professional fees and $0.7 million in software licensing and maintenance and hosting expense, which was partly offset by decreases of $2.4$2.0 million in cash profit sharing expense, ~~on lower income from operations (or "operating income") and reduced payouts under our executive officer cash profit sharing plan and $1.0~~$1.1 million in stock-based ~~compensation. Recent acquisitions increased~~compensation expense on our performance based awards, $0.9 million in depreciation and amortization expense and $0.6 million in insurance expense, partly offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in travel–associated expenses. Included in general and administrative ~~expenses by $5.2 million, including the reclassification~~expense are SAP implementation and support costs of ~~$2.2 million year-to-date expenses, associated with the North America acquisition from engineering expense to selling expense.~~

~~Gain (adjustment) on bargain purchase of a business~~ - On January 3, 2017, we acquired Gbo Fastening Systems for approximately $10.2 million. This transaction was recorded as a business combination and resulted in a preliminary bargain purchase gain estimate of $8.4$3.2 million, which represented an estimate of the excess fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the consideration exchanged as of the acquisition date. In the third quarter of 2017, we completed our estimate of the fair value for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and concluded that the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $16.5 million, which resulted in an adjusted bargain purchase gain of $6.3 million and a decrease of the bargain purchase gain of $2.1 million. This nonrecurring, non-operating income gain adjustment is included in the line item “Gain (adjustment) on bargain purchase of a business” in our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

~~Gain on a disposal of a business -~~ ~~On September 29, 2017, we sold all of the outstanding shares of Gbo Poland for approximately $10.2 million, resulting in a gain of~~decreased $0.4 million ~~(both amounts are subject to post-closing adjustments).~~from the prior quarter.

Our effective income tax rate increased to 37% from 35%, primarily due to a reduction of the nonrecurring gain on a bargain purchase related to the Gbo Fastening Systems acquisition (see "Gain (adjustment) on bargain purchase of a business" above), which was 26.2% for both periods.

Consolidated net income was ~~not taxable.~~

~~Net income~~ ~~was $28.2~~$67.1 million compared to ~~$29.8~~$43.7 million. Diluted net income per common share was ~~$0.59~~$1.54 compared to $0.62. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the $2.1 million reduction on the nonrecurring bargain purchase gain (see "Gain (adjustment) on bargain purchase of a business" above), which decreased diluted net income by $0.04 per common share.$0.97.
