SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In addition to the critical accounting policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company’s critical accounting policies also currently include the following policies implemented subsequent to and in connection with the SC Company acquisition:

Revenue Recognition

For Trex Commercial Products, the Company recognizes revenue using the percentage of completion method measured by the ratio of direct costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. Contract costs include all direct material, labor, subcontract and certain indirect costs. Administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period they are determined. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified under current assets. Billings in excess of revenues are classified under current liabilities.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

In addition to its trade receivables, the Company assesses the credit risk exposure of its customers’ contracts receivable by considering the length of time receivables may be past due, the customer’s financial condition and ability to repay the obligation, historical and expected credit loss experience, and other factors. Contracts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount in accounts receivable in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are generally due when billed, and contract retainage is generally due at the completion of the construction contract.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDSTANDARDS

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)No. 2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718):Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The standard amends certain aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes related to those transactions and forfeitures. The standard requires recognizing excess tax benefits and deficiencies on share-based awards in the tax provision instead of in equity. Also, the standard requires these amounts to be classified as an operating activity, and shares withheld to satisfy employee taxes to be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows, rather than as currently classified as financing and operating activities, respectively. The standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the standard in fiscal year 2016. The impact of the early adoption resulted in the following:

The standard requires that excess tax benefits of the settlement or vesting of time-based restricted stock or time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock or performance-based restricted stock units be recorded within income tax expense. Prior to adoption this amount would have been recorded as an increase in additionalpaid-in capital. Additionally, the standard requires that excess tax benefits are now reported as an operating activity in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, rather than as a financing activity as was previously reported. The Company applied this guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2016 during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2016, and, accordingly, data previously reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 have been adjusted, as follows:

   Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Cash flows provided by operating activities

  $81,880   $83,579 

Cash flows used in financing activities

  $(60,573  $(62,452

The Company elected to change its policy on accounting for forfeitures and recognize forfeitures as they occur. The Company applied this guidance on a modified retrospective transition method. The Company determined that the cumulative effect of applying the guidance under the modified retrospective transition method was not material to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The standard requires the presentation of employee taxes as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This provision did not impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company previously presented employee taxes as a financing activity in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2016, which did not materially increase the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

5.NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

In May 2017,November 2021, the FASB issued ASU

No. 2017-09,2021-10,
Compensation—Stock Compensation
Government Assistance (Topic 718), Scope Modification Accounting832):
Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance
. The guidance clarified whenrequires business entities to make annual disclosures about transactions with a government they account for by analogizing to a changegrant or contribution accounting model, such as IAS 20, ASC
958-605.
The annual disclosure requirements include: the nature of the transactions, the entities related accounting policy used, the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected and the amounts applicable to theeach financial statement line item, and significant terms orand conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only iftransactions. The disclosure requirements could be applied either prospectively to all transactions in the fair value (or calculated intrinsic value, if those amounts are being used to measure the award under ASC 718), the vesting conditions, or the classificationscope of the award (as equityamendments that are reflected in the financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application, or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions.retrospectively. The guidance iswas effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company intends to adopt the guidance on the effective date and does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-04,Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and eliminates the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, and is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company intends to adopt the guidance on the effective date and does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-15,Statement of Cash flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice across all industries in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is2021, with early application permitted. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company intends to adoptAdoption of the guidance on the effective date and doesdid not believe adoption will have a material impacteffect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
”. The guidance provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions related to contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease entities’ financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The new guidance allows entities to elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements, if certain criteria are met, to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform. An entity that makes this election would consider changes in reference rates and other contract modifications related to reference rate reform to be events that do not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. The ASU notes that changes in contract terms that are made to effect the reference rate reform transition are considered related to the replacement of a reference rate if they are not the result of a business decision that is separate from or in addition to changes to the terms of a contract to effect that transition. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect adoption of the guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842).” The standard requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as aright-of-use asset and a lease liability, other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease. The liability will be equal to the present value of the lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment. Currently, under existing U.S. generally accepted accounting standards, the Company does not recognize on the balance sheet aright-of-use asset or lease liability related to its operating leases. For income statement purposes, the leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) and finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard must be adopted using the modified retrospective transition method and provides for the option to elect a package of practical expedients upon adoption. The Company intends to adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and is assessing the impact of adoption of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures. The Company has not made any decision on the option to elect adoption of the practical expedients.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015 within ASUNo. 2015-14, in March 2016 within ASUNo. 2016-08, in April 2016 within ASUNo. 2016-10, in May 2016 within ASUNo. 2016-12, and in December 2016 within ASUNo. 2016-20 (collectively, the new standard). The new standard provides a single, comprehensive model for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring control of goods or services to a customer. The Company intends to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Currently, the Company intends to use the retrospective application to each reporting period presented, with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined in the new standard. The Company has substantially completed evaluation of its Trex Residential Products segment and believes that

adoption of the new standard will not have a significant impact on that segment. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the new standard on its recently acquired Trex Commercial Products segment and expects to complete the evaluation during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company expects expanded financial statement note disclosure. The Company continues to evaluate the impacts of the pending adoption. As such, the Company’s preliminary assessments are subject to change.

ACQUISITION
INVENTORIES

On July 31, 2017, through its newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Trex Commercial Products, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of SC Company for $71.8 million in cash, subject to adjustment pending final determination of working capital at closing. The Company used cash on hand and $30.0 million of funding from its existing revolving credit facility, which was fully paid on August 17, 2017, to acquire the assets. The acquired business designs, engineers and markets modular architectural railing systems and solutions for the commercial and multifamily markets, and provides staging, acoustical and seating systems for commercial markets, including sports stadiums and performing arts venues. As a result of the purchase, the Company gained access to growing commercial markets, expanded its custom design and engineering capabilities, and added the contract architect and specifier communities as new channels for its products.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of consideration transferred and net assets acquired were determined using a combination of Level 2 and Level 3 inputs as specified in the fair value hierarchy in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The Company believes that the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions. The Company’s consolidated results of operations for the quarterly and nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 include the operating results of the acquired business from the date of acquisition through quarter end. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017 includes the acquired assets and any liabilities assumed.

Based on the Company’s preliminary valuation, a total estimated consideration of $71.8 million has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows (in thousands). A final determination of the purchase price and adjustment to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and finalization of the valuation report will be completed upon the final determination of working capital at closing:

   (1,562
  

 

 

 

Total estimated consideration

  $71,804 
  

 

 

 

The preliminary goodwill of $57.9 million is primarily attributable to the potential opportunity for the Company to offer full service railing systems in the growing commercial and multi-family markets, access to a complementary product category with a track record of substantial revenue growth, the ability to achieve economies of scale around raw material procurement, an increase in the range of products the Company may offer its core customers, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separable or legal criterion, such as an assembled workforce. The amount of goodwill that is expected to be amortized and deductible for tax purposes in 2017 is $1.1 million. All of the goodwill was recorded to the Trex Commercial Products reportable segment. The fair value attributed to intangible assets, which consists of production backlog and trade names and trademarks, is being amortized straight line over 12 months and is based on the estimated economics of the assets. The fair value attributed to the intangible assets acquired and goodwill was based on assumptions and other information compiled by management, including independent valuations that utilized established valuation techniques.

From July 31, 2017, through September 31, 2017, Trex Commercial Products generated $9.2 million of revenue and incurred a net loss of $75 thousand. The Company incurred $0.5 million of acquisition-related expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense.

The Company utilizes the LIFO method of accounting related to its Trex Residential wood-alternative decking and residential railing products, which generally provides for the matching of current costs with current revenues. However, under the LIFO method, reductions in annual inventory balances cause a portion of the Company’s cost of sales to be based on historical costs rather than current year costs (LIFO liquidation). Reductions in interim inventory balances expected to be replenished by
year-end
do not result in a LIFO liquidation. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based, in part, on management’s estimates of expected
year-end
inventory levels and costs, which may differ from actual results. Since inventory levels and costs are subject to factors beyond management’s control, interim results are subject to the final

LIFO inventory valuation. There were no0 LIFO inventory liquidations or related impact on cost of sales in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 or 2016.

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Trex Residential Products
Trex Residential principally generates revenue from the manufacture and sale of its high-performance,
low-maintenance,
eco-friendly
wood-alternative composite decking and residential railing products and accessories. Substantially all of its revenues are from contracts with customers, which are purchase orders of short-term duration of less than one year. Its customers, in turn, sell primarily to the residential market, which includes replacement, remodeling and new construction related to outdoor living products. Trex Residential satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time. The shipment of each product is a separate performance obligation as the customer is able to derive benefit from each product shipped and no performance obligation remains after shipment. Upon shipment of the product, the customer obtains control over the distinct product and Trex Residential satisfies its performance obligation. Any performance obligation that remains unsatisfied at the end of a reporting period is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. Any variable consideration related to the unsatisfied performance obligation is allocated wholly to the unsatisfied performance obligation, is recognized when the product ships and the performance obligation is satisfied and is included in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities, Sales and marketing” in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Trex Commercial Products
Trex Commercial generates revenue from the manufacture and sale of its modular and architectural railing and staging systems. All of its revenues are from fixed-price contracts with customers. Trex Commercial contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and is, therefore, not distinct. The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations on contracts with an original duration greater than one year was $36 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company will recognize this revenue as contracts are completed, which is expected to occur within the next 24 months.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, net sales were disaggregated in the following tables by (1) market, (2) timing of revenue recognition, and (3) type of contract.

17.SEASONALITY

The Company’s operating resultsResidential have historically varied from quarter to quarter. Seasonal, erratic or prolonged adverse weather conditions in certain geographic regions reduce the level of home improvement and construction activity and can shift demand for Trexits products to a later period. As part of its normal business practice and consistent with industry practice, the CompanyTrex Residential has historically offered incentive programs to its distributors and dealers to build inventory levels before the start of the prime deck-building season in order to ensure adequate availability of the Company’sits product to meet anticipated seasonal consumer demand. The seasonal effects are often offset by the positive effect of the incentive programs.

The operating results for Trex Commercial have not historically varied from quarter to quarter as a result of seasonality. However, they are driven by the timing of individual projects, which may vary each quarterly period.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contract Termination Costs

The Company leases 55,047 square feet of office and storage space that it does not occupy, but has sublet all of the office space for the remainder of the term of its lease obligation, which ends June 30, 2019. The Company estimates that the future sublease receipts will be less than the remaining minimum lease payment obligations under its lease and has recorded a liability for the present value of the expected shortfall.

As of September 30, 2017, minimum payments remaining under the Company’s lease relating to its reconsidered corporate relocation over the years ending December 31, 2017, 2018, and 2019 are $0.5 million, $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Net minimum receipts remaining under the Company’s existing subleases over the years ending December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 are $0.3 million, $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Product Warranty

The Company warrants that its decking and residential railing products will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials for warranty periods ranging from 10 years to 25 years, depending on the product and its use. If there is a breach of such warranties, the Company has an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price. Depending on the product and its use, the Company also warrants its Trex Commercial products will be free of manufacturing defects for one to three years.
The Company continues to receive and settle claims for products manufactured at its Nevada facility prior to 2007 that exhibit surface flaking and maintains a warranty reserve to provide for the settlement of these claims. Estimating the warranty reserve for surface flaking claims requires management to estimate (1) the number of claims to be settled with payment and (2) the average cost to settle each claim.

To estimate the number of claims to be settled with payment, the Company utilizes actuarial techniques to quantify both the expected number of claims to be received and the percentage of those claims that will ultimately require payment (collectively, elements). Estimates for these elements are quantified using a range of assumptions derived from claim count history and the identification of factors influencing the claim counts. The number of claims received has declined each year since peaking in 2009, although the rate of decline has decelerated in recent years. Additionally, events, such as the 2009 settlement of a class action lawsuit covering the surface

defect and communications by the Company in 2013 informing homeowners of potential hazards associated with products exhibiting surface flaking that are not timely replaced, have obscured observable trends in historical claims activity. The cost per claim varies due to a number of factors, including the size of affected decks, the availability and type of replacement material used, the cost of production of replacement material and the method of claim settlement.

15

The Company monitors surface flaking claims activity each quarter for indications that its estimates require revision. Typically, a majority of surface flaking claims received in a year are received during the summer outdoor season, which spans the second and third quarters. It has been the Company’s practice to utilize the actuarial techniques discussed above during the third quarter, after a significant portion of all claims has been received for the fiscal year and variances to annual claims expectations are more meaningful.
The number of incoming claims received in the six months ended June 30, 2022, was significantly lower than the number of claims received in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 was2021 and lower than claims received in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, continuing the historical year-over-year decline in incoming claims, and consistent with the Company’s expectations. The average settlementexpectations for 2022. Average cost per claim experienced in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 was lowersignificantly higher than that experienced in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and higher than the Company’s expectations for the current year. The elevated average settlement cost per claim experienced duringin the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 and consistent with2022, was primarily the result of the closure of two large claims, which were considered in the Company’s expectations for 2017.estimation of its surface flaking warranty reserve. The Company believes its reserve at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 is sufficient to cover future surface flaking obligations.

The Company’s analysis is based on currently known facts and a number of assumptions, as discussed above, and current expectations. Projecting future events such as the number of claims to be received, the number of claims that will require payment and the average cost of claims could cause the actual warranty liabilities to be higher or lower than those projected, which could materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company estimates that the annual number of claims received will continue to decline over time and that the average cost per claim will increase slightly, primarily due to inflation.increase. If the level of claims received or average cost per claim differs materially from expectations, it could result in additional increases or decreases to the warranty reserve and a decrease or an increase in earnings and cash flows in future periods. The Company estimates that a 10% change in the expected number of remaining claims to be settled with payment or the expected cost to settle claims may result in approximately a $2.9$1.7 million change in the surface flaking warranty reserve.

Legal Matters

The Company has lawsuits, as well as other claims, pending against it which are ordinary routine litigation and claims incidental to the business. Management has evaluated the merits of these lawsuits and claims and believes that their ultimate resolution will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or competitive position.

Arkansas Facility
In October 2021, the Company announced plans to add a third U.S.-based Trex Residential manufacturing facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. The new campus will sit on approximately 300 acres of land and will address increased demand for Trex Residential outdoor living products. Construction began on the new facility in the second quarter of 2022, and in July 2022, the Company entered into a design-build agreement. As previously announced, the Company anticipates spending approximately $400 million on the facility and the budget for the design-build agreement is contained within this amount. Construction for the new facility will be funded primarily through the Company’s ongoing cash generation or its line of credit. The first production output is anticipated in 2024.

Net Sales
. Net sales consist of sales and freight, net of returns and discounts. The level of net sales is principally affected by sales volume and the prices paid for Trex products. Our branding and product differentiation strategy enables us to command premium prices. OurTrex Residential operating results have historically varied from quarter to quarter. Seasonal, erratic or prolonged adverse weather conditions in certain geographic regions reduce the level of home and commercial improvement and residential and commercial construction and can shift demand for our products to a later period.

As part of our normal business practice and consistent with industry practices,practice, we have historically provided our distributors and dealers of our Trex Residential Productsproducts incentives to build inventory levels before the start of the prime deck-building season to ensure adequate availability of our product to meet anticipated seasonal consumer demand and to enable production planning. These incentives include payment discounts, and favorable payment terms. In addition, we offerterms, price discounts, or volume rebates on specified products and other incentives based on increases in purchases as part of specific promotional programs. The timing of salesour incentive programs can significantly impact sales, receivables and inventory levels during the offering period. However,In addition, the operating results for Trex Commercial are driven by the timing and terms of the majority of our programs are generally consistent from year to year.

individual projects, which may vary each quarterly period.

Gross Profit.
Gross profit represents the difference between net sales and cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of raw materialsmaterial costs, direct labor costs, manufacturing costs, subcontract costs and freight. Raw materialsmaterial costs generally include the costs to purchase and transport reclaimed wood fiber, reclaimed polyethylene, pigmentation for coloring our products, and commodities used in the production of railing and staging. Direct labor costs include wages and benefits of personnel engaged in the manufacturing process. Manufacturing costs consist of costs of depreciation, utilities, maintenance supplies and repairs, indirect labor, including wages and benefits, and warehouse and equipment rental activities.

Product Warranty. We warrant that our Trex Residential products will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials for warranty periods ranging from 10 years to 25 years, depending on the product and its use. If there is a breach of such warranties, we have an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price. We continue to receive and settle claims for products manufactured at our Nevada facility prior to 2007 that exhibit surface flaking and maintain a warranty reserve to provide for the settlement of these claims. The number of claims received has declined each year since peaking in 2009, although the rate of decline has decelerated in recent years. Additionally, events, such as the 2009 settlement of a class action lawsuit covering the surface defect and 2013 communications made by the Company informing homeowners of potential hazards associated with products exhibiting surface flaking that are not timely replaced, have obscured any observable trends in historical claims activity.

We monitor surface flaking claims activity each quarter for indications that our estimates require revision. Typically, a majority of surface flaking claims received in a fiscal year are received during the summer outdoor season, which spans the second and third fiscal quarters. It has been our practice to utilize actuarial techniques during the third quarter, after a significant portion of all claims has been received for the fiscal year and variances to annual claims expectations are more meaningful. Our actuarial analysis is based on currently known facts and a number of assumptions. Projecting future events such as the number of claims to be received, the

number of claims that will require payment and the average cost of claims could cause the actual warranty liabilities to be higher or lower than those projected, which could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The number of claims received in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was lower than the claims received in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, continuing the historical year-over-year decline in incoming claims, and consistent with our expectations. The average settlement cost per claim experienced in the nine months ended June 30, 2017 decreased compared to the average settlement cost per claim experienced during the nine months ended June 30, 2016, and was consistent with expectations for 2017. We believe that our reserve at September 30, 2017 is sufficient to cover future surface flaking obligations.

The following table details surface flaking claims activity related to our warranty:

Another component of selling, general and administrative expenses is branding and other sales and marketing costs, which are used to build brand awareness. These costs consist primarily of advertising, merchandising, and other promotional costs. Other general and administrative expenses include professional fees, office occupancy costs attributable to the business functions previously referenced, and consumer relations expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses may vary from quarter to quarter due, in part, to the seasonality of our business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Product Warranty.
We warrant that our Trex Residential products will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials for warranty periods ranging from 10 years to 25 years, depending on the product and its use. If there is a breach of such warranties, we have an obligation either to replace the defective product or refund the purchase price. Depending on the product and its use, we also warrant our Trex Commercial Products,products will be free of manufacturing defects for periods ranging from 1 year to 3 years.

The number of incoming claims received in the six months ended June 30, 2022, was significantly lower than the number of claims received in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and lower than our expectations for commercial markets, including sports stadiums2022. Average cost per claim experienced in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was significantly higher than that experienced in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and performing arts venues. As ahigher than our expectations for the current year. The elevated average cost per claim experienced in the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily the result of the purchase, weclosure of two large claims, which were considered in our estimation of the surface flaking warranty reserve. We believe the reserve at June 30, 2022 is sufficient to cover future surface flaking obligations. Refer to Note 18,
Commitments and Contingencies, Product Warranty

We estimate that the annual number of claims received will gain accessdecline over time and that the average cost per claim will increase. If the level of claims received or average cost per claim differs materially from expectations, it could result in additional increases or decreases to growing commercial markets, expandthe warranty reserve and a decrease or increase in earnings and cash flows in future periods. We estimate that a 10% change in the expected number of remaining claims to be settled with payment or the expected cost to settle claims may result in approximately a $1.7 million change in the surface flaking warranty reserve.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General.
Our consolidated results of operations includeare affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the operating resultscost to manufacture and distribute products, cost of raw materials, inflation, interest rates, consumer spending and preferences, the acquired business following the dateimpact of acquisition. Our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017 includes the acquired assetsany supply chain disruptions, economic conditions, and any liabilities assumed.

adverse effects from the

COVID-19
pandemic and geopolitical conflicts.
Strong sales growth at Trex Residential continued through the second quarter reflecting an increase in average price per unit and volume growth from strong secular trends, including growth in the outdoor living category, and the successful execution of our
wood-to-composite
market share conversion strategy. Price increases to address inflationary pressures were absorbed by the market and also benefitted net sales. In late June we experienced a reduction in demand from our distribution partners, spurred by concerns over a potential easing in consumer demand due to rising interest rates, declining consumer sentiment and expectations of a general slowing in the economy. We expect our channel partners to meet demand partially through inventory drawdown, rather than reordering product. We believe the drawdown will likely impact the next two quarters. In response to this new environment, we immediately took measures to manage a production slowdown, including selective labor force and production optimization, as well as other coast reduction actions.
Below is ourthe discussion and analysis of our operating results and material changes in our operating results for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 (20172022 (2022 quarter) compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 (20162021 (2021 quarter), and for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 (2017 nine-month 2022 (2022

Total net sales increased by 24.0% in the 20172022 quarter compared to the 20162021 quarter reflecting a 25.2% increase in Trex Residential net sales and a 4.9% decrease in Trex Commercial net sales. The increase in Trex Residential net sales was primarily due to an increase in average price per unit of 20.3% and an increase in volume of 4.0%. The increase in price was due primarily to volumeprice increases taken in 2021 and 2022 on certain products to address inflationary pressures across many key raw materials, labor and transportation. The sustained broad-based demand continued to reflect strong secular trends, including growth in our Trex branded decking and railing products. The volume growth was positively impacted by continued strength in the remodeling sector,outdoor living category. In addition, we continue to execute on our marketing programs aimed at taking
wood-to-composite
market share conversion strategy and drive consumers from wood decking to our
eco-friendly
Trex decking. The increase in sales also reflected channel inventory build. Over the last four quarters the channel has continued to build and restock inventory. This was due, in part, to strong consumer demand, but was also a consequence of improved product availability following more than two years of the healthy demand across our full suite of outdoor living products with deckingcapacity constraints and railing products as the major growth contributors. The remaining increase resulted from net sales of our recently acquired commercial products segment for the period from the date of acquisition of July 31, 2017 through quarter end.

Table of higher excess tax benefits related to the settlement or vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units recognized in income tax expense during the 2016 quarter compared to the 2017 quarter. In 2016, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The standard requires that excess tax benefits of the settlement or vesting of time-based restricted stock or time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock or performance-based restricted stock units be recorded within income tax expense. Prior to adoption this amount would have been recorded as an increase in additionalpaid-in capital. As a result of adoption of the standard, the provision for income taxes for the 2016 quarter was adjusted to $2.7 million from the $3.6 million previously reported.

EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We have included data with respect to EBITDA because management believes it facilitates performance comparison between the Company and its competitors, and management evaluates the performance of the businessits reportable segments using several measures, including EBITDA. Management considers EBITDA to be an important supplemental indicator of our core operating performance because it eliminates interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization charges to net income or loss. In relation to competitors, EBITDA eliminates differences among companies in capitalization and tax structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets. For these reasons, management believes that EBITDA provides important supplemental information to investors regarding the operating performance of the Company. Total EBITDA may be considered anon-GAAP measureCompany and its reportable segments.

(each, a Lender and collectively, the Lenders), arranged by BofA Securities, Inc. as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, entered into a Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) to amend and restate the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as amended,of November 5, 2019.
Under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to provide the Company with one or more Revolving Loans in a collective maximum principal amount of $400,000,000 (Loan Limit) throughout the term, which ends May 18, 2027 (Term). Included within the Loan Limit are sublimits for a Letter of Credit facility in an amount not to exceed $60,000,000; and Swing Line Loans in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $20,000,000. The Revolving Loans, the Letter of Credit facility and the Swing Line Loans are for the purpose of raising working capital and supporting general business operations.
The Facility provides the Company, in the aggregate, the ability to borrow an amount up to the Loan Limit during the Term. The Company is not obligated to borrow any amount under the Loan Limit. Within the Loan Limit, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow at any time or from time to time while the Notes are in effect. Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Term SOFR Loans for the Revolving Loans accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR for such interest period plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Base Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by BOA as its prime rate, and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.0% subject to certain interest rate floors. Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due at the end of the Term.
The Company and BofA Securities, Inc. as a sustainability coordinator, are entitled to establish specified key performance indicators (KPIs) with respect to certain environmental, social and governance targets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The sustainability coordinator and the Company may amend the Credit Agreement for the purpose of incorporating the KPIs and other related provisions, unless the Lenders object to such amendment on or prior to the date that is ten business days after the date on which such amendment is posted for review by the Lenders. Based on the performance of the Company and its subsidiaries against the KPIs, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) to otherwise applicable pricing will be made; provided that the amount of such adjustments shall not exceed certain aggregate caps as in the definitive loan documentation.
Under the terms of the Security and Pledge Agreement, the Company and TCP, subject to certain permitted encumbrances, as collateral security for the above-stated loans and all other present and future indebtedness of the Company owing to the Lenders grants to BOA, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders, a continuing security interest in certain collateral described and defined in the Security and Pledge Agreement but excluding the Excluded Property (as defined in the Security and Pledge Agreement).

On May 26, 2020, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Original Credit Agreement (the First Amendment) to provide for an additional $100 million line of credit. As a matter of convenience, the parties incorporated the amendments to the Original Credit Agreement made by the First Amendment into a new Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (New Credit Agreement). In the New Credit Agreement, the revolving commitments under the Original Credit Agreement are referred to as Revolving A Commitments and the new $100 million line of credit is referred to as Revolving B Commitments. In the New Credit Agreement, all of the material terms and conditions related to the original line of credit (Revolving A Commitments) remained unchanged from the Original Credit Agreement.
The Company entered into the First Amendment, as borrower; Trex Commercial Products, Inc. (TCP), as guarantor; Bank of America, N.A. (BOA), as a Lender, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer; and certain other lenders including Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo), who is also Syndication Agent; Truist Bank (Truist); and Regions Bank (Regions) (each, a Lender and collectively, the Lenders), arranged by BofA Securities, Inc. as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner. The First Amendment further provides that the New Credit Agreement is amended and restated by changing Schedule 2.01 to add applicable Lender percentages related to the Revolving B Commitment for BOA of 47.5%, Well Fargo of 28.0% and Regions of 24.5%.
The Company’s revolving credit facility executed November 5, 2019 was completely replaced by the Company’s revolving credit facility executed May 18, 2022.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained within our debt agreements, we must maintain specified financial ratios based on levelsas of debt, fixed charges, and earnings (excluding extraordinary gains and extraordinarynon-cash losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we were in compliance with these covenants.2022. Failure to comply with our loanthe financial covenants might cause our lenders to accelerate ourcould be considered a default of repayment obligations under our credit facility, which may be declared payable immediately based on a default.

and, among other remedies, could accelerate payment of any amounts outstanding.

We believe that cash on hand, cash from operations and borrowings expected to be available under our revolving credit facilityfacilities, as amended, will provide sufficient funds to fund planned capital expenditures, make scheduled principal and interest payments, fund warranty payments, and meet other cash requirements. We currently expect to fund future capital expenditures from operations and financing activities. The actual amount and timing of future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimate depending on the demand for Trex products and new market developments and opportunities.

Capital Requirements. We currently estimate that our capital expenditures
In October 2021, we announced plans to add a third U.S.-based Trex Residential manufacturing facility in 2017Little Rock, Arkansas. The new campus will sit on approximately 300 acres of land and will address increased demand for Trex Residential outdoor living products. Construction began on the new facility in the second quarter 2022, and in July 2022, the Company entered into a design-build agreement. As previously announced, the Company anticipates spending approximately $400 million on the facility and the budget for the design-build agreement is contained within this amount. Construction for the new facility will be $15funded primarily through the Company’s ongoing cash generation or its line of credit. The first production output is anticipated in 2024.
Our capital expenditure guidance for 2022 is $170 million to $20$180 million. OurIn addition to the construction of our third facility in Arkansas, our capital allocation priorities include expenditures for internal growth opportunities, manufacturing cost reductions, upgrading equipment and support systems, and acquisitions which fit outour long-term outdoor products growth strategy as we continue to evaluate opportunities that would be a good strategic fit for Trex, and return of capital to shareholders.

Inventory in Distribution Channels.
We sell our Trex Residential decking and residential railing products through a tiered distribution system. We have over 50 distributors worldwide and two national retail merchandisers to which we sell our products. The distributors in turn sell the products to dealers and retail locations who in turn sell the products to end users. Significant increases in inventory levels in the distribution channel without a corresponding change in
end-use
demand could have an adverse effect on future sales. We cannot definitively determine the level of inventory in the distribution channels at any time. We are not aware of significant changes in the levels of inventory in the distribution channels at September 30, 2017 compared to inventory levels at September 30, 2016.

Product Warranty. We continue to receive and settle claims related to products manufactured at our Nevada facility prior to 2007 that exhibit surface flaking, which has had a material adverse effect on cash flow from operations, and regularly monitor the adequacy of the warranty reserve.

In the 2017 nine-month period and the 2016 nine-month period we paid $4.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, to settle surface flaking claims. We estimate that the number of claims received will continue to decline over time and that the average settlement cost per claim will increase slightly, primarily due to inflation. If the level of claims received or average settlement cost per claim differs materially from our expectations, it could result in additional increases or decreases to the warranty reserve and a decrease or increase in earnings and cash flow in future periods.

Business Acquisition.On July 31, 2017, through our wholly-owned subsidiary,

Seasonality
. The operating results for Trex Commercial Products, Inc., we entered into a definitive agreement with SC Company and on that date acquired certain assets and liabilities of SC Company for $71.8 million in cash. The purchase price is subject to adjustment pending final determination of working capital. We used cash on hand and $30.0 million from our existing revolving credit facility to acquire the business.

Seasonality. Our operating resultsResidential have historically varied from quarter to quarter. Seasonal, erratic or prolonged adverse weather conditions in certain geographic regions reduce the level of home improvement and construction activity and can shift demand for ourits products to a later period. As part of ourits normal business practice and consistent with industry practice, we haveTrex Residential has historically offered incentive programs to ourits distributors and dealers to build inventory levels before the start of the prime deck-building season in order to ensure adequate availability of ourits product to meet anticipated seasonal consumer demand. The seasonal effects are often offset by the positive effect of the incentive programs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In addition The operating results for Trex Commercial have not historically varied from quarter to the critical accounting policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, critical accounting policies and estimates also include the following policies subsequent to and in connection with the SC Company acquisition:

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue using the percentagequarter as a result of completion method measuredseasonality. However, they are driven by the ratiotiming of direct costs incurred to date to estimated total costs forindividual projects, which may vary significantly each contract. Contract costs include all direct material, labor, subcontract and certain indirect costs. Administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, conditions and estimated profitability may result

in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period they are determined. Revenues recognized in excessquarterly period.

27

Table of amounts billed are classified under current assets as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. Billings in excess of revenues are classified under current liabilities as billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings.

Goodwill

The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change in the interim that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying amount. Goodwill is considered to be impaired when the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount to determine if it should proceed with the evaluation of goodwill for impairment. If the Company proceeds with thetwo-step impairment test, the Company first compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is potentially impaired and step two of the impairment analysis is performed. In step two of the analysis, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over its implied fair value should such a circumstance arise. The Company measures fair value of the reporting unit based on a present value of future discounted cash flows and a market valuation approach.
