NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Quanex Building Products Corporation is a component supplier to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the building products industry. These components can be categorized as window and door (fenestration) components and kitchen and bath cabinet components. Examples of fenestration components include: (1) energy-efficient flexible insulating glass spacers, (2) extruded vinyl profiles, (3) window and door screens, and (4) precision-formed metal and wood products. We also manufacture cabinet doors and other components for OEMs in the kitchen and bathroom cabinet industry. In addition, we provide certain other non-fenestration components and products, which include solar panel sealants, trim moldings, vinyl decking, fencing, water retention barriers, and conservatory roof components. We have organized our business into three reportable business segments. For additional discussion of our reportable business segments, see Note ~~14,~~13, "Segment Information." We use low-cost, short lead-time production processes and engineering expertise to provide our customers with specialized products for their specific window, door, and cabinet applications. We believe these capabilities provide us with unique competitive advantages. We serve a primary customer base in North America and the ~~United Kingdom,~~U.K., and also serve customers in international markets through our operating plants in the ~~United Kingdom~~U.K. and Germany, as well as through sales and marketing efforts in other countries.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to "Quanex", the "Company", "we", "us" and "our" refer to the consolidated business operations of Quanex Building Products Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quanex Building Products Corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, ~~2017~~2018 was derived from audited financial information, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2017.~~2018. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein) necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any future periods.

In preparing financial statements, we make informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We review our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to impairment of long lived assets and goodwill, contingencies and income taxes. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.

On November 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method and applying ASC Topic 606 to all revenue contracts with customers. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after November 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606. In accordance with the modified retrospective approach, prior period amounts were not adjusted and are reported under ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” As a result of adoption, there was not a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We expect the impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 to continue to be immaterial to our net income on an ongoing basis.

Revenue recognition

The core principle of ASC Topic 606 is to recognize revenue that reflects the consideration we expect to receive for product sales when the promised items are transferred to customers. Revenue for product sales is recognized when control of the promised products is transferred to our customers, and we expect to be entitled to consideration in exchange for transferring those products. We account for a contract when a customer provides us with a firm purchase order that identifies the products to be provided, the payment terms for those services, and when collectability of the consideration due is probable.

Performance obligations

A performance obligation is a promise to provide the customer with a good or service. Our performance obligations include product sales, with each product included in a customer contract being recognized as a separate performance obligation. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the standalone selling price of each product is generally readily observable.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Revenue from product sales is recognized at a point in time when the product is transferred to the customer, in accordance with the shipping terms, which is generally upon shipment. We estimate a provision for sales returns and warranty allowances to account for product returns related to general returns and product nonconformance.

Pricing and sales incentives

Pricing is established at or prior to the time of sale with our customers and we record sales at the agreed-upon net selling price, reflective of current and prospective discounts.

Practical expedients and exemptions

We generally expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would be less than one year. Additionally, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Shipping and handling costs

We have elected to account for shipping and handling services as fulfillment services in accordance ASC Topic 606 guidance; accordingly, freight revenue will be combined with the product deliverable rather than being accounted for as a distinct performance obligation within the terms of the agreement. Shipping and handling costs incurred by us for the delivery of goods to customers are considered a cost to fulfill the contract and are included in Cost of sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Contract assets and liabilities

Deferred revenue, which is not significant, is recorded when we have remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for which we have received consideration. As of April 30, 2019, accounts receivables were $80.6 million.

Disaggregation of revenue

We produce a wide variety of products that are used in the fenestration industry, including window spacer systems; extruded vinyl products; metal fabricated products; and astragals, thresholds and screens. In addition, we produce certain non-fenestration products, including kitchen and bath cabinet doors and components, flooring and trim moldings, solar edge tape, plastic decking, fencing, water retention barriers, conservatory roof components, and other products.

The following table summarizes our product sales for the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018 into groupings by segment which we believe depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. For further details regarding our results by segment, refer to Note 13, “Segment Information”.

Restructuring

We accrue one-time severance costs pursuant to an approved plan of restructuring at the communication date, when affected employees have been notified of the potential severance and sufficient information has been provided for the employee to calculate severance benefits, in the event the employee is involuntarily terminated. In addition, we accrue costs associated with the termination of contractual commitments including operating leases at the time the lease is terminated pursuant to the lease provisions or in accordance with another agreement with the landlord. Otherwise, we continue to recognize operating lease expense through the cease-use date. After the cease-use date, we determine if our operating lease payments are at market. We assume sublet of the facility at the market rate. To the extent our lease obligations exceed the fair value rentals, we discount to arrive at the present value and record a liability. If the facility is not sublet, we expense the amount of the rental in the current period. For other costs directly related to the restructuring effort, such as equipment moving costs, we expense in the period incurred.

We closed a kitchen and bathroom cabinet door business in Mexico in October 2016 and another plant in Lansing, Kansas in September 2017. We closed two ~~United States~~U.S. vinyl operations plants in November 2016 and January 2017. ~~During the three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, we expensed $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, pursuant~~Pursuant to these restructuring ~~efforts. Our facility~~efforts, we expensed $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended April 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods.

Accounting Change - Inventories

We record inventory at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories are valued using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. In the second quarter of 2019, we changed the method of inventory costing for certain inventory in two plants included in our North American Fenestration reportable business segment to the FIFO method from the last-in first-out (LIFO) method. We utilize the FIFO method to determine costs at all of our other operating locations. We believe that the FIFO method is preferable as it provides uniformity of ~~the plant closures~~inventory valuation across our global operations, aligns with a majority of our peers which use FIFO as their only inventory valuation method, and ~~recorded a change in estimate associated with the remaining useful lives~~provides better matching of ~~these assets. We recorded accelerated depreciation~~revenues and expenses. The impact of ~~$1.6 million related to~~ this change in ~~estimate~~accounting principle on the financial statements for ~~the three months ended January 31, 2017.~~each period presented is further explained in Note 2, “Inventories.”

QUANEX BUILDING PRODUCTS CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In addition, we evaluated the remaining service lives of intangible assets with defined lives associated with our United States vinyl extrusion business and recorded a change in estimate associated with the remaining useful lives of a customer relationship intangible and a utility process intangible asset which resulted in an increase in amortization expense of $0.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2017. We do not expect to incur incremental depreciation and amortization expense in fiscal 2018 associated with these restructuring efforts.

2. ~~Acquisitions and Dispositions~~

~~HLP~~

As more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2017, we acquired the outstanding ownership shares of an extruder of vinyl lineal products and manufacturer of other plastic products incorporated and registered in England and Wales ("HLP") on June 15, 2015. The purchase agreement contained an earn-out provision which is calculated as a percentage of earnings before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization for a specified period, as defined in the purchase agreement. Pursuant to this earn-out provision, the former owner could select a base year upon which to calculate the earn-out (one of the next three succeeding twelve-month periods ended July 31). In August 2016, the former owner selected the twelve-month period ended July 31, 2016 as the measurement period for the earn-out calculation. On November 7, 2016, we paid $8.5 million to settle the earn-out, which included a foreign currency adjustment of $0.1 million. We have included this earn-out payment under the caption "Acquisitions, net of cash acquired" in the accompanying cash flow statement for the three months ending January 31, 2017.

We are party to operating leases associated with the HLP acquisition for which our lessors are entities that were either wholly-owned subsidiaries or affiliates of HLP prior to the acquisition, and in which a former owner, who is now our employee, has an ownership interest. These leases include our primary operating facilities, a finished goods warehouse, a mixing plant, and a manufacturing facility. The lease for the manufacturing facility which has a 20-year term began in 2007, the lease for the manufacturing facility which has a 15-year term began in 2012, the lease for the mixing plant has a 13.5-year term which began in 2013, and the lease for the warehouse has a 20-year life which began in 2017. We have recorded rent expense pursuant to these agreements of approximately $0.6 million and $0.3 million, for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Commitments under these lease arrangements are included in our operating lease commitments as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2017.

~~Shawano~~

On October 31, 2017, we sold certain net assets of a wood-flooring manufacturing plant in Shawano, Wisconsin to an unrelated equity investment firm for $0.6 million in cash, and the issuance of a receivable totaling $1.2 million. The receivable is collectible over a five-year term, with annual payments equal to 3% of gross sales, with a minimum payment in year five equal to the greater of: (a) $1.6 million less annual payments made during the preceding four years, or (b) 3% of gross sales for year five. The receivable has been discounted at our incremental borrowing rate. We provided transitional services associated with this sale through December 31, 2017 and recorded a current receivable associated with these services of $0.2 million as of January 31, 2018. The transaction was subject to a working capital adjustment as defined in the agreement which totaled less than $0.1 million at January 31, 2018. Pursuant to the agreement, we will supply wood products to this plant at cost throughout fiscal 2018.

3. Inventories

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~ ~~(continued)~~

~~Our inventories at January~~Operations and Basis of Presentation - Accounting Change - Inventories,” in the second quarter of 2019, we elected to change our method of accounting for certain inventory in our North American Fenestration reportable business segment from LIFO to FIFO. We applied this change in method of inventory costing by retrospectively adjusting the prior period financial statements. As a result of the retrospective application of the change in accounting principle, certain amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2018 ~~and October 31, 2017~~ were ~~valued using the following costing methods:~~adjusted as follows:



	As reported		Impact of change to FIFO		As adjusted
	(In thousands)
Inventories	$	69,365	$	1,365	$	70,730

$ 4,444
FIFO 91,279

Total $ 95,843
$ 87,529

During interim periods, we estimate a LIFO reserve based on our expectations of year-end inventory levels and costs. If our calculations indicate that an adjustment at year-end will be required, we may record a proportionate share of this amount during the period. At year-end, we calculate the actual LIFO reserve and record an adjustment for the difference between the annual calculation and any estimates recognized during the interim periods. Because the interim projections are subject to many factors beyond our control, the results could differ significantly from the year-end LIFO calculation. We recorded no interim LIFO reserve adjustment for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017.

~~For inventories valued under the LIFO method, replacement cost exceeded the LIFO value by approximately $1.1 million at~~ ~~January 31, 2018~~ ~~and~~ ~~October 31, 2017~~.

4.3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 was as follows:

As a result, we developed a new long-range forecast for this reporting unit that was below its previous long-range forecast as a result of an industry-wide shift from semi-custom cabinets to stock cabinets. We determined that the combination of i) actual financial results below planned performance, ii) a downward revision of the long-range forecast, and iii) the historical narrow margin of fair value over carrying value in previous annual and interim goodwill assessments represented a triggering ~~events~~event that that would more likely than not indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit was greater than its fair value.

The term loan portion of the Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments on the last business day of each fiscal quarter in accordance with a stated repayment schedule. Required aggregate principal repayments total $15.0 million for the succeeding twelve-month period, and are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Current Maturities of Long-term Debt.” No stated principal payments are required under the revolving credit portion of the Credit Agreement, except upon maturity. If our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than 2.25 to 1.00, then we are required to make mandatory prepayments of “excess cash flow” as defined in the agreement.

The Credit ~~Agreement~~Facility contains a: (1) Consolidated ~~Fixed Charge~~Interest Coverage Ratio requirement whereby we must not permit the Consolidated ~~Fixed Charge~~Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined, to be less than ~~1.10~~2.25 to 1.00, and (2) Consolidated Leverage Ratio requirement, whereby we must not permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as ~~summarized by period in the following table:~~

defined, to be greater than 3.25 to 1.00.

In addition to maintaining these financial covenants, the Credit ~~Agreement~~Facility also limits our ability to enter into certain business transactions, such as to incur indebtedness or liens, to acquire businesses or dispose of material assets, make restricted payments, pay dividends (limited to ~~$10.0~~$20.0 million per year) and other transactions as further defined in the Credit ~~Agreement.~~Facility. Substantially all of our domestic assets, with the exception of real property, are utilized as collateral for the Credit ~~Agreement.~~Facility.

As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, we had ~~$218.5~~$210.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement (reduced by unamortized debt issuance costs of ~~$1.9~~$1.3 million), ~~$5.3~~$4.8 million of outstanding letters of credit and ~~$19.6~~$17.2 million outstanding primarily under capital leases. We had ~~$211.2~~$110.2 million available for use under the Credit Agreement at ~~January 31, 2018.~~April 30, 2019.

This new warehouse was anticipated at the time of the HLP acquisition in June 2015, and the lease was negotiated at arms-length. The lease accrues interest at 3.57% per annum, and extends for a twenty-year period through the year 2036. We recorded the leased asset at inception at fair value of $16.6 million and recorded a corresponding liability for our obligation under this lease. We are recognizing interest expense using the effective interest method over the term.

Other Plans

We also have a supplemental benefit plan covering certain executive officers and key employees and a non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering members of the Board of Directors and certain key employees. As of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and October 31, ~~2017,~~2018, our liability under the supplemental benefit plan was approximately ~~$3.6 million~~$3.4 million.

We record the current portion of liabilities associated with these plans under the caption "Accrued Liabilities," and the long-term portion under the caption "Other Liabilities" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

7.6. Warranty Obligations

We accrue warranty obligations as we recognize revenue associated with certain products. We make provisions for our warranty obligations based upon historical experience of costs incurred for such obligations adjusted, as necessary, for current conditions and factors. There are significant uncertainties and judgments involved in estimating our warranty obligations, including changing product designs, differences in customer installation processes and future claims experience which may vary from historical claims experience. Therefore, the ultimate amount we incur as warranty costs in the near and long-term may not be consistent with our current estimate.

8.7. Income Taxes

To determine our income tax expense or benefit for interim periods, consistent with accounting standards, we apply the estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date results. Our estimated annual effective tax rates for the ~~three-month periods~~each of the six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2019 and 2018 was 24.3% and ~~2017 were~~ 24.0% ~~and 30.2%~~, respectively, excluding discrete items. ~~The change in~~On December 22, 2017, the ~~annual rate was due largely to the effect of~~U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act), which ~~was signed into law on December 22, 2017.~~

significantly changed U.S. tax law. The Act reduced our federal income tax statutory rate from 35.0% to 23.3% for the fiscal year ~~ending~~ended October 31, 2018.

The 2019 effective rate was impacted by a discrete charge of $0.1 million related to the vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation awards and a benefit of $0.2 million for the adjustment of the one-time mandatory transition tax on deemed repatriation of previously tax-deferred and unremitted foreign earnings. Additionally, during the three months ended April 30, 2019, we recorded a non-deductible $30.0 million asset impairment charge in the North American Cabinet Components segment, which is further explained in Note 3, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets." Discrete items contributing to the income tax benefit for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2018 included $7.7 million for the re-measurement of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities due to the decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate, a benefit of $0.3 million for the true up of our accruals and related deferred taxes from prior year filings and settled tax audits, and a benefit of $0.1 million ~~for the excess tax benefits~~ related to the vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation awards, partially offset by a tax expense of $1.2 million for the one-time mandatory transition tax on deemed repatriation of previously tax-deferred and unremitted foreign earnings.

The following table reconciles our effective income tax ~~benefit~~ rate to the federal statutory rate of ~~23.3%~~21.0% and ~~35.0%~~23.3% for the ~~three month periods~~six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively:

The ~~United States~~U.S. statutory rate of 23.3% reflects the period November 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 at the previous 35.0% rate and the period January 1, 2018 to October 31, 2018 at the new 21.0% rate.

~~Given the significance~~We continued our analysis of the Act during the ~~SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which allows registrants to record provisional amounts during~~first quarter of fiscal 2019. This resulted in a one year “measurement period”. During the measurement period, impacts of the Act are expected to be recorded at the time a reasonable estimate for all or a portion of the effects can be made, and provisional amounts can be recognized and adjusted as information becomes available, prepared or analyzed. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Act.

~~As of January 31, 2018, we have not completed the accounting for the tax effects of the Act. However, we have made an initial assessment of the Act and recorded a discrete~~ benefit of ~~$6.5~~$0.2 million ~~during~~to the ~~three month period ended January 31, 2018. We believe that our assessment of the re-measurement of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be complete, while we consider our tax expense~~provisional amount recorded in fiscal 2018 related to the one-time mandatory transition tax on deemed repatriation of previously tax-deferred and unremitted foreign ~~earnings and our~~earnings. As of January 31, 2019, the Company completed the accounting for the income tax ~~benefit of stock based compensation to be provisional. At this time, our estimate does not reflect changes in current interpretations of compensation deduction limitations,~~ effects ~~of any state tax law changes and uncertainties regarding interpretations that may arise as a result of federal tax reform. Any additional impact of the enactment~~ of the Act ~~will be recorded as they are identified during~~within the one-year measurement period ~~provided for in SAB~~as allowed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.

In light of the Act, we ~~are evaluating~~repatriated $5.3 million of excess cash from our foreign operations during the three months ended April 30, 2019.

As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, our liability for uncertain tax positions (UTP) of $0.6 million relates to certain state tax items regarding the interpretation of tax laws and regulations. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The final outcome of the future tax consequences of legal proceedings, if any, as well as the outcome of competent authority proceedings, changes in regulatory tax laws, or interpretation of those tax laws could impact our financial statements. We are subject to the effect of these matters occurring in various jurisdictions. The

disallowance of the UTP would not materially affect the annual effective tax rate. We do not believe any of the UTP at ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 will be recognized within the next twelve months.

We evaluate the likelihood of realization of our deferred tax assets by considering both positive and negative evidence. We believe there is no need for a valuation allowance of the federal net operating losses. We will continue to evaluate our position throughout the year. We maintain a valuation allowance for certain state net operating losses which totaled $1.3 million at ~~January 31, 2018.~~April 30, 2019.

9.8. Contingencies

Remediation and Environmental Compliance Costs

Under applicable state and federal laws, we may be responsible for, among other things, all or part of the costs required to remove or remediate wastes or hazardous substances at locations we, or our predecessors, have owned or operated. From time to time, we also have been alleged to be liable for all or part of the costs incurred to clean up third-party sites where there might have been an alleged improper disposal of hazardous substances. At present, we are not involved in any such matters.

From time to time, we incur routine expenses and capital expenditures associated with compliance with existing environmental regulations, including control of air emissions and water discharges, and plant decommissioning costs. We have not incurred any material expenses or capital expenditures related to environmental matters during the past three fiscal years, and do not expect to incur a material amount of such costs in fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. While we will continue to have future expenditures related to environmental matters, any such amounts are impossible to reasonably estimate at this time. Based upon our experience to date, we do not believe that our compliance with environmental requirements will have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition or cash flows.

~~Spacer Migration~~

We were notified by certain customers through our German operation that the vapor barrier employed on certain spacer products manufactured prior to March 2014 may permit spacer migration in certain extreme circumstances. This product does not have a specific customer warranty, but we have received claims from customers related to this issue, which we continue to investigate. The balance of the accrual for this matter was $1.3 million and $1.4 million at October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2018. During the three months ended January 31, 2018, we incurred additional claims of $0.5 million, which were offset by payments of $0.5 million. The additional change in the accrual during the three months ended January 31, 2018 reflects the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. We cannot estimate any future liability with regard to unasserted claims. We evaluate this reserve at each balance sheet date. We investigate any claims, but we are not obligated to honor any future claims.

Litigation

From time to time, we, along with our subsidiaries, are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, commercial disputes, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product performance or warranties, product liability, insurance coverage and personnel and employment disputes.

We regularly review with legal counsel the status of all ongoing proceedings, and we maintain insurance against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent such insurance is available. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters or that our insurers will accept full coverage of these matters, and we could, in the future, incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims, or revise our expectations regarding the outcome or insurability of matters we face, which could materially impact our results of operations.

We have been and are currently party to multiple claims, some of which are in litigation, relating to alleged defects in a commercial sealant product that was manufactured and sold during the 2000's. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2018, our insurance carrier reimbursed fees and expenses originally incurred as part of our defense of these various commercial sealant claims totaling $0.5 ~~million to us and additional payments directly to our external counsel.~~million. There were no corresponding reimbursements received during the six months ended April 30, 2019. While we believe that our product was not defective and that we would prevail in these commercial sealant product claims if taken to trial, the timing, ultimate resolution and potential impact of these claims is not currently determinable. Nevertheless, after taking into account all currently available information, including our defenses, the advice of our counsel, and the extent and currently-expected availability of our existing insurance coverage, we believe that the eventual outcome of these commercial sealant claims will not have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, and we have not recorded any accrual with regard to these claims.

~~10.~~9. Derivative Instruments

Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction, and control of the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. Certain transactions in excess of specified levels require further approval from the Board of Directors.

The nature of our business activities requires the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have historically used foreign currency forwards and options to mitigate or eliminate certain of those risks at our subsidiaries. We use foreign currency contracts to offset fluctuations in the value of accounts

Currently, we do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to our derivative transactions. We attempt to mitigate this risk by monitoring the creditworthiness of our counterparties and limiting our exposure to individual counterparties. In addition, we have established master netting agreements in certain cases to facilitate the settlement of gains and losses on specific derivative contracts.

We have not designated any of our derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes in accordance with the provisions under the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" (ASC 815). Therefore, changes in the fair value of these contracts and the realized gains and losses are recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income ~~(loss)~~ for the ~~three-month periods~~three and six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2019 and 2018 ~~and 2017~~ as follows (in thousands):

For the classification in the fair value hierarchy, see Note ~~11,~~10, "Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities", included herewith.

~~11.~~10. Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market data developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to Level 1 and the lowest priority to Level 3. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates) and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Table of Contents

QUANEX BUILDING PRODUCTS CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

As of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and October 31, ~~2017,~~2018, foreign currency derivatives were the only instruments being measured on a recurring basis. Less than $0.1 million of foreign currency derivatives were included in total liabilities as of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and less than $0.1 million of foreign currency derivatives were included in total assets ~~and total liabilities~~ as of October 31, ~~2017.~~2018. All of our derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices from brokers or exchanges and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

~~We have recorded land totaling approximately $2.4 million at fair value on a non-recurring basis which is classified as Level 3 measurement as of January 31, 2018 and~~ ~~October 31, 2017. The fair value was based on broker opinions.~~

Carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Our outstanding debt is variable rate debt that re-prices frequently, thereby limiting our exposure to significant change in interest rate risk. As a result, the fair value of our debt ~~instruments~~instrument approximates carrying value at ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, and October 31, ~~2017~~2018 (Level 3 measurement).

~~12.~~11. Stock-Based Compensation

We have established and maintain an Omnibus Incentive Plan (2008 Plan) that provides for the granting of restricted stock awards, stock options, restricted stock units, performance share awards, performance restricted stock units, and other stock-based and cash-based awards. The 2008 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock authorized for grant under the 2008 Plan is 7,650,000 as approved by

~~Table of Contents~~

~~QUANEX BUILDING PRODUCTS CORPORATION~~

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~ ~~(continued)~~

shareholders. Any officer, key employee and/or non-employee director is eligible for awards under the 2008 Plan. We grant restricted stock units to non-employee directors on the first business day of each fiscal year. As approved by the Compensation & Management Development Committee of our Board of Directors annually, we grant a mix of stock options, restricted stock awards, performance shares and/or performance restricted stock units to officers, management and key employees. Occasionally, we may make additional grants to key employees at other times during the year.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards are granted to key employees and officers annually, and typically cliff vest over a ~~three-year~~three year period with service and continued employment as the only vesting criteria. The recipient of the restricted stock award is entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder, except that the award is nontransferable during the vesting period. The fair value of the restricted stock award is established on the grant date and then expensed over the vesting period resulting in an increase in additional paid-in-capital. Shares are generally issued from treasury stock at the time of grant.

A summary of non-vested restricted stock awards activity during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 is presented below:


	Restricted Stock Awards		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share		Restricted Stock Awards		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Non-vested at October 31, 2017	284,300		$	19.66
Non-vested at October 31, 2018					217,200		$	19.76
Granted	73,400		20.70		124,800		$	13.78
Forfeited					(10,300	)	$	19.98
Vested	(61,800	)	20.28		(67,900	)	$	19.18
Non-vested at January 31, 2018	295,900		$	19.79
Non-vested at April 30, 2019					263,800		$	17.06

The total weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards that vested during each of the ~~three-month~~three and six month periods ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2019 and 2018 ~~and 2017~~ was $1.3 ~~million and $1.2 million, respectively.~~million. As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unamortized restricted stock awards was ~~$3.1~~$2.5 million. We expect to recognize this expense over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.1 years.

Stock Options

Historically, stock options have been awarded to key employees, officers and non-employee directors. Effective May 2015, the director compensation structure was revised to eliminate the annual grant of stock options to non-employee directors. ~~Officer~~During December 2017, the Compensation & Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors approved a change to the long-term incentive award program eliminating the grant of stock options and replacing this award with a grant of performance restricted stock units as further described below. As a result, stock options were not granted during the year ended October 31, 2018 or during the six months ended April 30, 2019. Employee stock options typically vest ratably over a three-year period with

service and continued employment as the vesting conditions. Our stock options may be exercised up to a maximum of ten years from the date of grant. The fair value of the stock options is determined on the grant date and expensed over the vesting period resulting in an increase in additional paid-in-capital. For employees who are nearing retirement-eligibility, we recognize stock option expense ratably over the shorter of the vesting period or the period from the grant-date to the retirement-eligibility date. During December 2017, the Compensation & Management Committee of the Board of Directors approved a change to the long-term incentive award program eliminating the grant of stock options and replacing this award with a grant of performance restricted stock units as further described below.

We use a Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options. A description of the methodology for the valuation assumptions was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

~~The following table provides a summary of assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our stock options issued during the three-month period ended January 31,~~ ~~2017~~.

Intrinsic value is the amount by which the market price of the common stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price of the stock option. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2019 and 2018 was less than $0.1 million and ~~2017 was~~ $1.9 million, ~~and $0.5 million.~~respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options that vested during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2019 and 2018 ~~and 2017~~ was ~~$1.5~~$1.1 million and ~~$1.8~~$1.5 million, respectively. As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was ~~$0.6~~$0.1 million. We expect to recognize this expense over the remaining weighted average vesting period of ~~1.5~~0.6 years.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units may be awarded to key employees and officers from time to time, and annually to non-employee directors. The non-employee director restricted stock units vest immediately but are payable only upon the director's cessation of service unless an election is made by the non-employee director to settle and pay the award on an earlier specified date. Restricted stock units awarded to employees and officers typically cliff vest after a three-year period with service and continued employment as the vesting conditions. Restricted stock units are not considered outstanding shares and do not have voting rights, although the holder does receive a cash payment equivalent to the dividend paid, on a one-for-one basis, on our outstanding common shares. Once the criteria is met, each restricted stock unit is payable to the holder in cash based on the market value of one share of our common stock. Accordingly, we record a liability for the restricted stock units on our balance sheet and recognize any changes in the market value during each reporting period as compensation expense.

As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, there were no non-vested restricted stock units. During the ~~three-month~~six month periods ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ non-employee directors received ~~18,050~~29,065 and ~~24,560~~18,050 restricted stock units, respectively, at a grant date fair value of $15.29 per share and $21.85 ~~and $15.65,~~per share, respectively, which vested immediately. During the ~~three-month periods~~six month period ended ~~January 31, 2018 and 2017,~~April 30, 2019, we paid less than $0.4 million to settle previously vested restricted stock units; there were no corresponding payments to ~~settle~~settled vested restricted stock ~~units.~~units during the comparable prior year period.

Performance Share Awards

We have awarded annual grants of performance shares to key employees and officers. These awards cliff vest after a three-year ~~period~~period. Performance share awards issued prior to fiscal 2019 vest with service and performance measures (relative total shareholder return (R-TSR) and earnings per share (EPS) growth), as vesting conditions. ~~However, the~~The number of shares earned is variable depending on the metrics achieved, and the settlement method is 50% in cash and 50% in our common stock. Performance share awards issued during fiscal 2019 vest with return on net assets (RONA) as the vesting condition and pay out 100% in cash.

To account for these awards, we have bifurcated the portion subject to a market condition ~~(relative total shareholder return)~~(R-TSR) and the portion subject to an internal performance measure ~~(earnings per share growth)~~(EPS or RONA). We have further bifurcated these awards based on the settlement method, as the portion expected to settle in stock (equity component) and the portion expected to settle in cash (liability component).

On December 3, ~~2017, 123,600~~2018 and January 25, 2019, a total of 139,164 shares vested pursuant to the December ~~2014~~2015 grant ~~resulting in the issuance of 25,340 shares of common stock~~ and a total of 4,300 shares vested pursuant to the January 2016 grant, however performance conditions resulted in no share issuances or cash ~~payment~~payments for either of ~~$0.6 million.~~these awards. The November 2016 and December 2017 grants include a return on invested capital (ROIC) metric which, if achieved, could enhance the number of shares that are ultimately issued but cannot exceed the maximum (200%). Due to the uncertainty with regard to achieving this metric, no value has been assigned. In the event and at such time the metric is deemed achievable, compensation expense will begin to be recognized through the remaining vesting period. ~~For~~During the ~~three-month period~~three and six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2019, we recorded compensation expense of $0.4 million and less than $0.1 million related to the expected payout of our performance share awards that are outstanding as of April 30, 2019. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, we recorded a decrease in compensation expense of ~~$0.6~~$1.0 million which reflects a decrease in the number of shares expected to vest in December 2018 associated with the December 2, 2015 performance share grant, as well as current expense for other outstanding performance share grants. For the three-month period ended January 31, 2017, we recorded compensation expense of $1.0and $1.6 million related to ~~our~~the expected payouts of performance share ~~awards.~~awards that were outstanding as of April 30, 2018.

Performance share awards are not considered outstanding shares and do not have voting rights, although dividends are accrued over the performance period and will be payable in cash based upon the number of performance shares ultimately earned.

The performance shares are excluded from the diluted weighted-average shares used to calculate earnings per share until the performance criteria is probable to result in the issuance of contingent shares. As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, we have deemed ~~55,125~~31,470 shares related to the ~~December 2015 grant~~November 2016 grants of performance shares as probable to vest. ~~We expect to settle these shares in December 2018 by issuing 27,563 shares and paying the value of the equivalent number of shares in cash, along with accrued dividends thereon.~~

Performance Restricted Stock Units

We awarded performance restricted ~~share~~stock units to key employees and officers beginning in December 2017. These awards cliff vest upon a three-year service period with the absolute total shareholder return of our common stock over this three-year term as the vesting criteria. The number of shares earned is variable depending on the metric achieved, and the settlement method is 100% in our common stock, with accrued dividends paid in cash at the time of vesting, assuming the shares had been outstanding throughout the performance period.

To value the ~~shares,~~performance restricted stock units, we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to arrive at a grant-date fair value. This amount will be adjusted for forfeitures and expensed over the three-year term of the award with a credit to additional paid-in-capital. Depending on the achievement of the performance conditions, a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 150% of the awarded performance restricted stock units may vest. Specifically, the awards vest on a continuum with the following Absolute Total Shareholder Return (A-TSR) milestones: ~~if absolute total shareholder return is -20%, 50%~~

Table of the award will vest; at 20% total shareholder return, 100% of the award will vest; and at 50% absolute total shareholder return, 150% of the award will vest. If absolute total shareholder return is below -20%, none of the shares will vest. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, regardless of whether the market performance measure is ultimately met, compensation expense will be recognized.Contents

Similar to performance shares, the performance restricted stock units are not considered outstanding shares, do not have voting rights, and are excluded from diluted weighted-average shares used to calculate earnings per share until the performance criteria is probable to result in the issuance of contingent shares.

Treasury Shares

We record treasury stock purchases under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. Shares are generally issued from treasury stock at the time of grant of restricted stock awards, ~~and~~ upon the exercise of stock options, and upon the vesting of performance shares and performance restricted stock units. On the subsequent issuance of treasury shares, we record proceeds in excess of cost as an increase in additional paid in capital. A deficiency of such proceeds relative to costs would be applied to reduce paid-in-capital associated with prior issuances to the extent available, with the remainder recorded as a charge to retained earnings. We recorded a charge to retained earnings of ~~$0.9~~$0.5 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018.~~April 30, 2019.

~~14.~~13. Segment Information

We present three reportable business segments in accordance with Topic 280-10-50, "Segment Reporting" (ASC 280): (1) North American ~~Engineered Components~~Fenestration segment ~~(“NA Engineered Components”)~~(NA Fenestration), comprising four operating segments primarily focused on the fenestration market in North America including vinyl profiles, insulating glass ~~(IG)~~ spacers, screens & other fenestration components; (2) European ~~Engineered Components~~Fenestration segment ~~(“EU Engineered Components”)~~(EU Fenestration), comprising our ~~United Kingdom-based~~U.K.-based vinyl extrusion business, manufacturing vinyl profiles & conservatories, and the European insulating glass business manufacturing IGinsulating glass spacers; and (3) North American Cabinet Components segment ~~(“NA~~(NA Cabinet ~~Components”)~~Components), comprising ~~solely the North American~~our cabinet door and components ~~business acquired in November 2015.~~operations. We maintain an Unallocated Corporate & Other grouping which includes ~~LIFO inventory adjustments,~~ corporate office charges, and inter-segment eliminations, less an allocation of a portion of the general and administrative costs associated with the corporate office which have been allocated to the reportable business segments, based upon a relative measure of profitability, in order to more accurately reflect each reportable business segment's administrative cost. Certain costs are not allocated to the reportable operating segments, but remain in Unallocated Corporate & Other, including transaction expenses, stock-based compensation, long-term incentive awards based on the performance of our common stock and other factors, certain severance and legal costs not deemed to be allocable to all segments, depreciation of corporate assets, interest expense, other, net, income taxes and inter-segment ~~eliminations.~~eliminations, and beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, executive incentive compensation and medical expense fluctuations relative to planned costs as determined during the annual planning process. The change in allocation was incorporated during the fourth quarter of 2018, which resulted in a reduction in corporate general and administrative expense of $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, respectively, which is reflected in the tables below. The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those used to prepare the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Corporate general and administrative expense allocated during the ~~three-~~three and six month periods ended ~~January 31, 2018 and 2017 were $5.1~~April 30, 2019 was $4.6 million and ~~$4.4~~$9.5 million, ~~respectively.~~

respectively, and $4.6 million and $9.1 million, respectively, for the prior year comparable periods.

ASC 280 permits aggregation of operating segments based on factors including, but not limited to: (1) similar nature of products serving the building products industry, primarily the fenestration business; (2) similar production processes, although there are some differences in the amount of automation amongst operating plants; (3) similar types or classes of customers, namely the primary OEMs; (4) similar distribution methods for product delivery, although the extent of the use of third-party distributors will vary amongst the businesses; (5) similar regulatory environment; and (6) converging long-term economic similarities.

~~15.~~14. Earnings Per Share

We compute basic (loss) earnings ~~(loss)~~ per share by dividing net (loss) income ~~(loss)~~ by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common and potential common shares include the weighted average of additional shares associated with the incremental effect of dilutive employee stock options, non-vested restricted stock as determined using the treasury stock method prescribed by U.S. GAAP and contingent shares associated with performance share awards, if dilutive.

Basic and diluted ~~earnings per share for the three-month period ended January 31, 2018 was calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share data):~~

~~16.~~15. New Accounting Guidance

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which provides guidance as to when changes in share-based payment awards under Topic 718 should be accounted for as a modification of the award. Essentially, the changes should be considered a modification unless specific criteria are met. We adopted this guidance as of November 1, 2018 with no impact to the financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This update provides explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. We adopted this change retrospectively as of November 1, 2018, resulting in a reclassification for the three and six months ended April 30, 2018 of $0.1 million and $0.4 million of benefit, respectively, from the "Cost of sales" line item and approximately $0.1 million of benefit for each of the same periods from the "Selling, general and administrative" line item to the "Other, net" line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which provides clarity when determining whether a set of assets and activities constitutes a business. Specifically, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not deemed to be a business. We adopted this change prospectively as of November 1, 2018 with no impact to the financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This guidance simplifies the current two-step goodwill impairment test by eliminating the second step. Essentially, the entity compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value amount and recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The resulting loss is limited to the amount of goodwill. This guidance also eliminates the requirement for a reporting unit with zero or negative carrying value to perform a qualitative assessment of goodwill and apply step-two of the goodwill impairment test if the qualitative assessment fails. Thus, the same impairment assessment will be applied to all reporting units (even if the carrying value is zero or negative). We prospectively adopted this guidance as of February 1, 2019 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. See Note 3, "Goodwill & Intangible Assets," for further details of the goodwill impairment analysis performed during the three months ended April 30, 2019.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This amendment is intended to reduce diversity in practice as to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows by providing guidance for several specific cash flow issues. We adopted this change retrospectively as of November 1, 2018 with no impact to the financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance prescribes a methodology to determine when revenue is recognizable and constitutes a principles-based approach to revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services. In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements with regard to the methodology applied. This pronouncement ~~will~~ essentially ~~supersede~~superseded and ~~replace~~replaced existing revenue recognition rules in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific guidance. We ~~expect to adopt~~adopted this guidance ~~in fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluating~~using the ~~impact~~modified retrospective approach on November 1, 2018. Based on our ~~consolidated financial statements and~~evaluation, we have ~~begun collecting~~concluded that the ~~population~~adoption of ~~revenues by contract type for further evaluation.~~

~~In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11,~~ ~~Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.~~ ~~This amendment simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market revaluation method with the lower of cost and net realizable value test. This~~this new guidance is applicable to all inventories measured using methods other than last-in first-out method and the retail inventory method. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 effective November 1, 2017, with nodid not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For additional information, refer to Note 1, “Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation - Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In ~~March~~February 2016, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-09,~~ ~~Compensation - Stock Compensation~~No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic ~~718)~~842): ~~Improvements~~Amendments to ~~Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.~~ the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments replace current guidance and require the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. The amendments apply to any entity that enters into leasing arrangements. This guidance ~~prescribes~~becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and, therefore, we will adopt this pronouncement in fiscal 2020 using the presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies derived from book and tax timing differences associated with stock-based compensation arrangements and certain related statement of cash flow implications. We adoptedcurrent period adjustment method approved by the ~~provisions of ASU 2016-09 effective November 1, 2017, as noted below with no significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.~~FASB in March 2018. This

Excess tax benefits or deficiencies for share-based payments are to be recorded in the income tax provision, rather than as an adjustment to additional paid-in-capital. We made this change on a prospective basis;

Cash flows related to excess tax benefits or deficiencies are included in net cash provided by operating activities rather than as a financing activity. We adopted this change retrospectively, which resulted in an increase to net cash provided by operating activities and a corresponding decrease to net cash provided by financing activities of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2017;

Cash paid to taxing authorities when withholding shares from an employee’s vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation awards for tax-withholding purposes is to be classified as net cash used in financing activities rather than as an operating activity. We adopted this change retrospectively, which resulted in an increase to net cash provided by operating activities and a corresponding decrease to net cash provided by financing activities of $1.0 million for the three months ended January 31, 2017;

Our Business

We manufacture components for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the building products industry. These components can be categorized as window and door (fenestration) components and kitchen and bath cabinet components. Examples of fenestration components include (1) energy-efficient flexible insulating glass spacers, (2) extruded vinyl profiles, (3) window and door screens, and (4) precision-formed metal and wood products. We also manufacture cabinet doors and other components for OEMs in the kitchen and bathroom cabinet industry. In addition, we provide certain other non-fenestration components and products, which include solar panel sealants, trim moldings, vinyl decking, fencing, water retention barriers, and conservatory roof components. We use low-cost, short lead-time production processes and engineering expertise to provide our customers with specialized products for their specific window, door, and cabinet applications. We believe these capabilities provide us with unique competitive advantages. We serve a primary customer base in North America and the ~~United Kingdom,~~U.K., and also serve customers in international markets through our operating plants in the ~~United Kingdom~~U.K. and Germany, as well as through sales and marketing efforts in other countries.

We currently have three reportable business segments: (1) North American ~~Engineered Components~~Fenestration segment ~~(“NA Engineered Components”)~~(NA Fenestration), comprising four operating segments primarily focused on the fenestration market in North America manufacturing vinyl profiles, IGinsulating glass spacers, screens & other fenestration components; (2) European ~~Engineered Components~~Fenestration segment ~~(“EU Engineered Components”)~~(EU Fenestration), comprising our ~~United Kingdom-based~~U.K.-based vinyl extrusion business, manufacturing vinyl profiles and conservatories, and the European insulating glass business manufacturing IGinsulating glass spacers; and (3) North American Cabinet Components segment ~~(“NA~~(NA Cabinet ~~Components”)~~Components), comprising our cabinet door and components operations. We maintain a grouping called Unallocated Corporate & Other, which includes transaction expenses, stock-based compensation, long-term incentive awards based on performance of our common stock and other factors, certain severance and legal costs not allocable to our operating segments, depreciation of corporate assets, interest expense, other, net, income taxes and inter-segment ~~eliminations.~~eliminations, and beginning in 2018, executive incentive compensation and medical expense fluctuations relative to planned costs as determined during the annual planning process. Other corporate general and administrative costs have been allocated to the reportable business segments, based upon a relative measure of profitability in order to more accurately reflect each reportable business segment's administrative costs. The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those used to prepare our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In an effort to focus on protecting margins and improving cash flows, we implemented a strategy to reduce our sales volume with certain low-margin customers. During 2017, we rationalized capacity and closed two ~~United States~~U.S. vinyl plants and two cabinet door plants, relocating assets to improve overall operational efficiency. ~~For the three-month periods ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred $0.4 million and $1.1 million of expense, respectively, associated with~~Pursuant to these restructuring efforts, we expensed $0.1 million and ~~recognized $2.5~~$0.2 million ~~of accelerated depreciation and amortization associated with related assets~~ during the three ~~month period~~and six months ended ~~January 31, 2017.~~April 30, 2019 and $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the comparable prior year periods.

We continue to invest in organic growth initiatives, ~~and intend to continue to pursue business acquisitions that allow us to expand our existing fenestration and cabinet component footprint,~~ enhance our product offerings, provide new complementary technology, enhance our leadership position within the markets we serve, and expand into new markets or service lines. We have disposed of non-core businesses in the past, and continue to evaluate our business portfolio to ensure that we are investing in markets where we believe there is potential future growth.

Recent Transactions and Events

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law a sweeping tax reform bill which includes the following provisions which impact ~~United States~~U.S. corporations: (1) reduction of the statutory federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2) shifting to a territorial tax system in which foreign earnings could be repatriated through a 100% dividends received deduction; (3) imposing a one-time tax on un-repatriated earnings of 15.5% on cash and 8% on other assets; (4) doubling bonus depreciation to 100% for five years and allowing used property to qualify; (5) limiting net interest expense deductions to 30% of adjusted taxable income; (6) limiting NOL deductions to 80% of taxable income; and (7) repealing the corporate alternative minimum tax. We ~~have~~ made an initial assessment of this new tax law and recorded a discrete benefit of $6.5 million, which included a charge of $1.2 million for the one-time mandatory transition tax on deemed repatriation of previously tax-deferred and unremitted foreign earnings during the ~~three months~~fiscal year ended ~~January~~October 31, 2018. We ~~expect~~completed the ~~effective~~accounting for the income tax ~~rate for fiscal 2018 to be approximately 9%, or 24% excluding these discrete items.~~

~~In October 2017, we sold a wood-flooring business in Shawano, Wisconsin, which was deemed to be non-core. We~~effects of the act and recorded a ~~loss~~benefit of ~~$1.6~~$0.2 million ~~in conjunction with this sale, and have recorded a receivable~~for the re-measurement of ~~$1.6 million which we expect to collect over a five year term based on a percentage of sales with a guaranteed minimum under~~ the ~~agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, we will continue to supply wood to this plant throughout fiscal 2018 at cost.~~one-time mandatory transition tax during six months ended April 30, 2019.

Market Overview and Outlook

We believe the primary drivers of our operating results continue to be North American new home construction and residential remodeling and replacement (R&R) activity. We believe that housing starts and window shipments are indicators of activity levels in the homebuilding and window industries, and we use this data, as published by or derived from third-party sources, to evaluate the market. We have historically evaluated the market using data from the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) with regard to housing starts, and published reports by Ducker Worldwide, LLC (Ducker), a consulting and research firm, with regard to window shipments in the ~~United States. To assess the housing market in the United Kingdom, we use published reports by D&G Consulting, a consulting and research firm.~~U.S. We obtain market data from Freedonia Group and Catalina Research and KCMA, each a consulting and research firm, for insight into the ~~United States~~U.S. residential wood cabinet demand.

Reports and forecasts from these sources indicate continued growth in the markets we serve. The NAHB has forecasted calendar-year housing starts (excluding manufactured units) to ~~remain stable in 2018 and~~ increase slightly ~~in 2019.~~through 2021. Ducker indicated that window shipments in the R&R market are expected to increase ~~approximately 2% annually~~1% through ~~2019.~~2020 and remain flat during 2021. Derived from reports published by Ducker, the overall growth in window shipments for the trailing ~~twelve-month period~~twelve months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2019 was ~~3.6%.~~0.9%, During this period, growth in R&R activity and new construction increased ~~5.8%~~0.9% and 0.8%, ~~while growth in R&R activity increased 2.0%. Growth in new construction continues to outpace the growth in R&R. D&G Consulting forecasts an increase in housing in the United Kingdom through 2020.~~respectively. Catalina Research estimates residential semi-custom cabinet demand in the U.S. to grow ~~between 4% to 6%~~approximately 3% annually through 2020.

We utilize several commodities in our business for which pricing can fluctuate, including polyvinyl resin (PVC), titanium dioxide (TiO2), petroleum products, aluminum and wood. For the majority of our customers and critical suppliers, we have price adjusters in place which effectively share the base pass-through price changes for our primary commodities with our customers commensurate with the market at large. Our long-term exposure to these price fluctuations is somewhat mitigated due to the contractual component of the adjuster program. However, these adjusters are not in place with all customers and for all commodities, and there is a level of exposure to such volatility due to the lag associated with the timing of price updates in accordance with our customer agreements, particularly with regard to hardwoods. In addition, some of these commodities, such as silicone, are in high demand, particularly in Europe, which can affect the cost of the raw materials, a portion of which we may not be able to fully ~~recover through surcharges.~~recover.

~~Our business continues~~On June 23, 2016, voters in the U.K. voted for the U.K. to exit the European Union (E.U.) (referred to as Brexit). The U.K. is currently due to leave the E.U. on October 31, 2019, but the actual timing, terms of its withdrawal and the nature of its future with the E.U. are still being debated. Since the 2016 vote, the primary impact on Quanex’s financial performance has been related to foreign currency fluctuations of the British Pound Sterling. This fluctuation has driven foreign currency translation impacts, as well as raw material cost increases from upstream suppliers located outside of the U.K.

Given the lack of comparable precedent, it is difficult for us to predict the future impacts on our U.K. based operations, which accounted for approximately 14% of our total sales for the year ended October 31, 2018. Due to the fact that we manufacture and sell a majority of our U.K. products within the U.K., there is minimal risk to our ability to physically deliver goods and complete sales. As such, we believe we are well positioned within the U.K. to respond to potential changes to underlying demand as a result of the final Brexit outcome. The primary focus for our U.K. operations centers on the availability and pricing of raw materials. While we source the majority of our raw materials from within the U.K., many of the primary upstream raw materials our vendors utilize are being sourced from outside of the U.K., which could expose us to cross-border issues and raw material price impacts due to foreign currency volatility. If the U.K. exits the E.U. without an agreement (referred to as a hard Brexit), there could be ~~impacted by fluctuations~~complete closure of the U.K. border which could have wide-spread negative ramifications for the U.K. We do not expect a full closure to occur and instead assume at a minimum that trading with certain countries will continue uninterrupted. Since we purchase the same raw materials utilized in ~~foreign exchange rates~~our U.K. facilities at our other non-U.K. facilities and source raw materials from multiple countries, we are prepared to utilize our existing Quanex-wide supply infrastructure to minimize potential supply disruptions as ~~the United States dollar has weakened recently compared to other currencies where we have operations, including the United Kingdom.~~much as possible.

Net Sales. Net sales for Unallocated Corporate & Other represents the elimination of inter-segment sales for the ~~three-month periods~~three months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and ~~2017. The change between periods reflects the amount of inter-segment sales.~~2018.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for Unallocated Corporate & Other consists of the elimination of inter-segment sales, profit in inventory, ~~LIFO reserve adjustments~~ and other costs. ~~For the three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, the change of $0.3 million was primarily related to the elimination of inter-segment sales.~~

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses ~~decreased $4.9~~increased $1.4 million for the three months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 compared to the same period in ~~2017.~~2018. This increase is attributable to $2.4 million of higher compensation expense primarily related to prior year lower stock based compensation expense from stock price fluctuations and expected payouts.

The increase was partially offset by $0.4 million of lower medical expenses due to reimbursements of prior period claims, as well as reductions of $0.4 million in legal expenses and $0.4 million in severance costs.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.1 million, for the three months ended April 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Changes related to Non-Operating Items:

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $0.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. A lower average outstanding balance was partially offset by higher interest rates during the period.

Other, net. The decrease ~~is partially attributable~~in other, net of $0.2 million at April 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 relates primarily to an increase in ~~corporate costs allocated~~pension service expenses.

Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense of $2.0 million on a pre-tax loss of $22.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2019, an effective rate of 8.9% and income tax expense of $1.4 million on pre-tax income of $5.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2018, an effective rate of 25.2%. The difference in the effective rates between these periods relates to the ~~operating segments year-over-year~~fact that the $30.0 million asset impairment charge in the North American Cabinets Components segment did not generate a tax benefit.

Net Sales. Net sales for Unallocated Corporate & Other represents the elimination of inter-segment sales for the six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for Unallocated Corporate & Other consists of the elimination of inter-segment sales, profit in inventory, and other costs.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. This increase is attributable to (i) $2.5 million of higher compensation expense primarily related to the valuations of our stock based compensation awards, (ii) $1.2 million of higher medical expenses due to a higher claims experience, and (iii) higher severance expense of $1.2 million as a result of a reduction in ~~salaries associated with increased~~ headcount ~~and wage inflation and related incentive accruals.~~during the six months ended April 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year period.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense remained flat for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 compared to the same period in ~~2017.~~2018. Relatively few new assets were placed in service at corporate during the trailing twelve months ended ~~January 31, 2018.~~April 30, 2019.

Changes related to Non-Operating Items:

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 compared to the same period in ~~2017. This increase is primarily attributable to higher~~2018. Lower interest rates on our revolving credit ~~facilities and the addition of the manufacturing~~ facility ~~lease at HLP,~~were offset ~~somewhat~~ by a ~~lower~~higher average outstanding debt balance.

Other, net. The decrease in other, net of $0.4 million at ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 compared to the same period in ~~2017~~2018 relates primarily to ~~changes~~a decrease in net ~~foreign exchange transaction gains.~~pension service benefits.

Income Taxes. ~~Our estimated annual effective~~We recorded income tax ~~rates~~expense of $1.0 million on a pre-tax loss of $26.6 million for the ~~three-month periods~~six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2019, an effective rate of 3.6% and income tax benefit of $6.2 million on pre-tax income of $2.9 million for the six months ended April 30, 2018, ~~and 2017 were 24% and 30%, respectively.~~an effective benefit rate of 211.5%. The ~~change~~effective rate for the six months ended April 30, 2019 was primarily impacted by the fact that the $30.0 million asset impairment charge in the ~~annual~~North American Cabinets Components segment did not generate a tax benefit. The effective rate ~~was due to~~for the six months ended April 30, 2018 reflects the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, ~~(the Act)~~ which was signed into law on December 22, ~~2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Historically, our principal sources of funds have been cash on hand, cash flow from operations, and borrowings under our credit facilities.

We maintain a ~~$450.0 million credit agreement comprising a $150.0 million Term Loan A and a $300.0~~$325.0 million revolving credit facility ~~(collectively, the~~(the Credit ~~Agreement)~~Facility). The Credit ~~Agreement~~Facility matures in ~~2021~~2023 (5-year term) and requires interest payments calculated, at our election and depending upon our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, at either a Base Rate plus an applicable margin ~~(0.50%~~(0.25% to ~~1.25%~~1.00%) or the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin ~~(1.50%~~(1.25% to ~~2.25%~~2.00%). The applicable rate during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018 was~~April 30, 2019 fluctuated between LIBOR + ~~2.00%~~1.50% and 1.75%. In addition to the Consolidated Leverage Ratio covenant, we are required to meet a Consolidated ~~Fixed Charge~~Interest Coverage Ratio covenant, and there are limitations on certain transactions including our ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, dispose of material assets, acquire businesses, make restricted payments and pay dividends (limited to ~~$10.0~~$20.0 million per year). We are amortizing deferred financing fees of ~~$2.0~~$1.3 million straight-line over the remaining term of the facility.

As of ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, we had ~~$13.8~~$20.3 million of cash and equivalents, ~~$218.5~~$210.0 million outstanding under the Credit ~~Agreement, $5.3~~Facility, $4.8 million of outstanding letters of credit and ~~$19.6~~$17.2 million outstanding under capital leases. We had ~~$211.2~~$110.2 million available for use under the Credit ~~Agreement~~Facility at ~~January 31, 2018.~~April 30, 2019.

We ~~are currently evaluating our~~repatriated $5.3 million of foreign cash ~~position in light of~~during the ~~tax reform effected with the Act in December 2017.~~six months ended April 30, 2019. We expect to repatriate ~~earnings~~excess cash moving forward and utilize the funds to retire debt or meet current working capital needs.

Analysis of Cash Flow

The following table summarizes our cash flow results for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and ~~2017~~2018:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	January 31,						April 30,

Operating ~~Activities.~~ ~~Cash provided by operating activities~~Activities. Operating cash flow for the ~~three-month period~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018 increased by~~April 30, 2019 declined approximately ~~$5.1~~$21.5 million compared to the ~~three-month period~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2017.~~April 30, 2018. Cash receipts were unfavorably impacted ~~favorably~~ by ~~higher~~a reduction in net income as well as unfavorable working capital changes, including a higher payout of accrued incentives and ~~lower incentive accrual payments in December 2018~~higher spending on the seasonal inventory build compared to the prior year, due to financial performance and the timing of volume discount payments to customers. In addition, our inventory levels are down year-over-year, as we invested more in an inventory build in 2017 than in 2018. Cash payments were impacted by the timing of capital expenditures, material purchases and payroll cut-offs. Working capital was $86.3 million, $85.3 million and $88.0 million at January 31, 2018, October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017, respectively.

Investing Activities. Cash used for investing activities decreased ~~$8.5~~$2.3 million when comparing the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 to the same period in ~~2017. In 2017, we~~2018 related to a decline in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $3.9 million for the six months ended April 30, 2019, primarily attributable to $14.2 million of net borrowings of debt, partially offset by dividends paid ~~$8.5~~to our shareholders of $5.3 million, and $4.7 million related to the ~~HLP acquisition earn-out, with no corresponding cash payment in 2018. Our investment in capital expenditures declined by $0.3 million for~~purchase of treasury stock. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~January 31,~~April 30, 2018, ~~compared to the same period in 2017, which was offset by a decline in proceeds from the sale of capital assets during these periods.~~

~~Financing Activities.~~ ~~Cash~~cash used for financing activities was ~~$4.4~~$13.9 million, ~~for the three months ended January 31, 2018,~~ primarily attributable to ~~$4.5~~$12.9 million of net repayments of debt, dividends paid to our shareholders of ~~$1.4~~$2.8 million, and $0.7 million of cash paid for payroll taxes related to stock based compensation, partially offset by ~~$2.2~~$2.6 million of proceeds received from stock option exercises. For the three months ended January 31, 2017, cash provided by financing activities was $1.8 million, primarily attributed to net borrowings under debt facilities of and proceeds of $1.4 million from stock option exercises, which were partially offset by cash paid for dividends of $1.4 million and for payroll taxes related to stock based compensation of $1.0 million.

Liquidity Requirements

Our strategy for deploying cash is to invest in organic growth opportunities, develop our infrastructure, and make strategic ~~acquisitions and pay~~acquisitions. Other uses of cash include paying cash dividends to our ~~shareholders.~~shareholders and repurchasing our common stock. We have historically invested cash and cash equivalents in commercial paper with terms of three months or less. To the extent we have excess cash which has not been applied to reduce our outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities, we intend to remain in commercial paper, highly-rated money market funds, financial institutions and treasuries following a prudent investment philosophy. From time to time, to prepare for potential disruption in the money markets, we may temporarily move funds into operating bank accounts of highly-rated financial institutions to meet on-going operational liquidity requirements. We did not have any investments during the ~~three-month periods~~six months ended ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019 and ~~2017.~~2018. We maintain cash balances in foreign countries which total ~~$9.1~~$13.1 million as of ~~January 31, 2018. We utilize cash flow~~April 30, 2019. During the six months ended April 30, 2019, we repatriated $5.3 million of foreign earnings from ~~HLP to fund the operation in the United Kingdom, and to repay a note arrangement implemented as part of the capitalization of the acquisition.~~our foreign locations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the ~~United States of America~~U.S. (U.S. GAAP) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. Estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information becomes available and as our operating environment changes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and that we believe provide a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available through open market quotes. We must use our judgment with regard to uncertainties in order to make these estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2017. Our~~2018. During the six months ended April 30, 2019, we changed our critical accounting ~~policies and estimates have not~~policy related to inventory. Specifically, we changed ~~materially during~~ the ~~three months ended January 31, 2018.~~method of inventory costing for certain inventory to the first-in first-out (FIFO) method from the last-in first-out (LIFO) method. For further details of this change, refer to "Part I, Financial Information" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standards setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of any recently issued standards that are not yet effective are either not applicable to us at this time or will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In ~~May 2014,~~February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers.~~2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments replace current guidance and require the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. The amendments apply to any entity that enters into leasing arrangements. This guidance ~~prescribes a methodology to determine when revenue is recognizable~~becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and, constitutes a principles-based approach to revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services. In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements with regard to the methodology applied. This pronouncementtherefore, we will ~~essentially supersede and replace existing revenue recognition rules in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific guidance. We expect to~~ adopt this ~~guidance~~pronouncement in fiscal ~~2019.~~2020 using the current period adjustment method approved by the FASB in March 2018. This method allows us to not restate comparative periods and instead apply the new standard on a prospective basis as of the date of adoption. Under this method, a cumulative-effect adjustment is recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are currently in the process of gathering and reviewing our contracts, as well as reviewing our current accounting policies, controls, processes and disclosures that will change as a result of adopting this new standard. We are also evaluating the practical expedients available to us within the new guidance so that we can make a determination on which practical expedients to adopt. While our evaluation is still in process, we expect the adoption to have a significant impact on our ~~consolidated financial statements and have begun collecting the population of revenues by contract type for further evaluation.~~Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, ~~2017~~2018 for additional standards we are currently evaluating.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following discussion of our exposure to various market risks contains “forward looking statements” regarding our estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning our exposure. Although we believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable in light of information currently available to us, we cannot provide assurance that these estimates will not materially differ from actual results due to the inherent unpredictability of interest rates, foreign currency rates and commodity prices as well as other factors. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Our outstanding debt bears interest at variable rates and accordingly is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Based upon the balances of the variable rate debt at ~~January 31, 2018,~~April 30, 2019, a hypothetical 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates could result in approximately ~~$2.2~~$2.1 million of additional pretax charges or credit to our operating results per year. This sensitivity is impacted by the amount of borrowings under our credit facilities, and amounts outstanding under finance ~~leases at HLP.~~leases.

Foreign Currency Rate Risk

Our international operations have exposure to foreign currency rate risks, primarily due to fluctuations in the Euro, the British Pound Sterling and the Canadian Dollar. From time to time, we enter into foreign exchange contracts associated with our operations to manage a portion of the foreign currency rate risk.

The notional and fair market values of these positions at ~~January~~April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018 ~~and~~ ~~October 31, 2017~~, were as follows (in thousands):


		Notional as indicated				Fair Value in $							Notional as indicated		Fair Value in $
		January 31, 2018		October 31, 2017		January 31, 2018			October 31, 2017				April 30, 2019	October 31, 2018	April 30, 2019			October 31, 2018

At ~~January~~April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018 ~~and~~ ~~October 31, 2017~~, we held foreign currency derivative contracts hedging cross-border intercompany and commercial activity for our insulating glass spacer business. Although these derivatives hedge our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates, we do not apply hedge accounting and therefore, the change in the fair value of these foreign currency derivatives is recorded directly to other income and expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). To the extent the gain or loss on the derivative instrument offsets the gain or loss from the re-measurement of the underlying foreign currency balance, changes in exchange rates should have no effect. See Note ~~10,~~9, "Derivative Instruments," to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere herein.

~~We currently have~~During the three and six months ended April 30, 2018, we maintained an unhedged foreign currency position associated with ~~the~~ debt borrowed to facilitate ~~the HLP acquisition. We are evaluating~~an acquisition within our ~~options with regard to hedging our exposure. For the three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded~~EU Fenestration business, resulting in an unrealized ~~gains~~loss of ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million and ~~$0.4~~and unrealized gain of $0.2 million, respectively, associated with this foreign currency exposure.

Commodity Price Risk

We purchase polyvinyl resin (PVC) as the significant raw material consumed in the manufacture of vinyl extrusions. We have a monthly resin adjuster in place with a majority of our customers and our resin supplier that is adjusted based upon published industry indices for resin prices for the prior month. This adjuster effectively shares the base pass-through price changes of PVC with our customers commensurate with the market at large. Our long-term exposure to changes in PVC prices is somewhat mitigated due to the contractual component of the resin adjuster program. In addition, there is a level of exposure to short-term volatility due to the one month lag.

We also charge certain customers a surcharge related to petroleum-based raw materials. The surcharge is intended to offset the rising cost of products which are highly correlated to the price of oil including butyl and other oil-based raw materials. The surcharge is in place with the majority of our customers who purchase these products and is adjusted monthly based upon the 90-day average published price for Brent crude. The oil-based raw materials that we purchase are subject to similar pricing schemes. As such, our long-term exposure to changes in oil-based raw material prices is significantly reduced under this surcharge program.

Similarly, ~~Woodcraft~~our NA Cabinet Components business includes a surcharge provision in the majority of its customer ~~contracts~~arrangements to insulate against significant fluctuations in the price for various hardwood products used as the primary raw material for kitchen and bathroom ~~cabinets. Like our vinyl extrusion business, we~~cabinet doors. We are exposed to short-term volatility in wood prices due to a lag in the timing of price updates which generally could extend for up to three months.

While we maintain surcharges and other adjusters to manage our exposure to changes in the prices of our critical raw materials, we utilize several commodities in our business that are not covered by contractual surcharges or adjusters for which pricing can fluctuate, including titanium dioxide (TiO2), aluminum, silicone and other inputs. Further discussion of our industry risks is included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1934 Act) as of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~January 31, 2018~~April 30, 2019, the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
