Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Description of Business

Continental Building Products, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation. ~~Prior to the acquisition of the gypsum division of Lafarge North America Inc. ("Lafarge N.A.") described below, the Company had no operating activity.~~ The Company manufactures gypsum wallboard related products for commercial and residential buildings and houses. The Company operates a network of three highly efficient wallboard facilities, all located in the eastern United States, and produces joint compound at one plant in the United States and at another plant in Canada.

~~The Acquisition~~

On June 24, 2013, the Company's former controlling stockholder entered into a definitive agreement with Lafarge N.A. to purchase the assets of its North American gypsum division for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $703 million (the "Acquisition") in cash. The closing of the Acquisition occurred on August 30, 2013.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(a)	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.


(b)	Basis of Presentation for Interim Periods

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included for the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented.

~~Accounting Standards Recently Adopted~~

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9,~~ ~~"Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),"~~ which provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, ~~"Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,"~~ which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-9 for all entities by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU requires retroactive application on either a full or modified basis. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded it has one revenue stream and the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,~~ ~~"Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments."~~ This ASU reduces existing diversity in the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statements of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16,~~ ~~"Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory."~~ The new standard requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intercompany sales or transfers of assets, other than inventory, in the income statement as income tax expense (or benefit) in the period the sales or transfer occurs. The standard requires companies to apply a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted~~

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~"Leases."~~ ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt the standard on January 1, 2019.

~~The Company will take advantage of~~elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted within ~~the new standard,~~ASU 2016-02, which among other things, ~~allows companies~~allowed the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company ~~is electing~~elected the comparative period practical expedient, which ~~allows~~allowed the Company to implement the guidance as of the effective date without having to adjust the comparative financial statements. Instead, under this expedient, companies ~~will~~ recognize the cumulative effect adjustment in equity. The Company ~~will~~ also ~~make~~made an accounting policy election that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less will not be recorded on the balance sheet and will result in the recognition of those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ~~While~~The adoption of the standard resulted in recognition of approximately $1.0 million in right of use assets and $1.7 million in lease liabilities for

operating leases on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, with no impact to its retained earnings, Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The Company ~~is continuing~~adopted ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to ~~evaluate~~Accounting for Hedging Activities," as of January 1, 2019. This ASU expands an entity's ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The guidance eliminates the ~~impact~~requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The adoption ~~it is~~of the standard did not ~~expected to~~ have a material impact on ~~its~~the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This ASU is intended to introduce a revised approach to the recognition and measurement of credit losses, emphasizing an updated model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The provisions of this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,~~ ~~"Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities."~~ This ASU expands an entity's ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The provisions of this standard are effective in 2019 for calendar-year public business entities and in 2020 for all other calendar-year companies. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,~~ ~~"Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income."~~ This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The provisions of this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This ASU eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The provisions of this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." This ASU requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to defer and recognize as an asset. The provisions of this standard are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

7. INVESTMENT IN SEVEN HILLS

The Company is a party with an unaffiliated third party to a paperboard liner venture named Seven Hills Paperboard, LLC ("Seven Hills") that, pursuant to a paper supply agreement, provides the Company with a continuous supply of high-quality recycled paperboard liner to meet its ongoing production requirements.

The Company has evaluated the characteristics of its investment and determined that Seven Hills is a variable interest entity, but that it does not have the power to direct the principal activities most impacting the economic performance of Seven Hills, and is thus not the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company accounts for this investment in Seven Hills under the equity method of accounting.

Paperboard liner purchased from Seven Hills was ~~$12.3~~$11.8 million and ~~$37.4~~$25.3 million for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, compared to ~~$15.5~~$12.9 million and ~~$42.3~~$25.1 million for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~June, 2018, respectively.

(1)	As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, had a maturity date of August 18, 2023 and an interest rate of LIBOR (with a 0.75% floor) plus ~~2.25%~~2.00%.


(2)	As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Industrial revenue bonds had a maturity date of December 1, 2025 and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%less an approximate 20 percent reduction in the rate related to the tax-free interest income to the bond holders.

On August 18, 2016, the Company, Continental Building Products Operating Company, LLC and Continental Building Products Canada Inc. and the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse, as Administrative Agent, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amending and restating the Company's ~~First Lien Credit Agreement~~existing first lien credit agreement (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $275 million senior secured first lien term loan facility (the "Term Loan") and a ~~$75~~$75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), which mature on August 18, 2023 and August 18, 2021, respectively. The interest rate under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was a spread over LIBOR of 2.75% and floor of 0.75%.

On February 21, 2017, the Company repriced its ~~term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement~~Term Loan lowering its interest rate by 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 2.50%. Subsequently, on December 6, 2017, the Company further repriced its ~~term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement~~Term Loan lowering its interest rate by an additional 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 2.25%~~. The Company may~~ and allowing for a further ~~reduce its~~reduction in the interest rate to LIBOR plus 2.00% based on the attainment of a total leverage ratio of 1.1 or better. All other terms and conditions under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement remained the same.

During both the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, the Company made ~~$2.0~~$1.4 million of scheduled mandatory principal payments. Because the Company attained a total leverage ratio of less than 1.1 to 1 during the fourth quarter of 2018, the interest rate was further reduced pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to LIBOR plus 2.00% as of December 31, 2018. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the annual effective interest rate, including original issue discount and amortization of debt issuance costs, was ~~5.0%~~4.9%.

In December 2018, the Company completed a financing of industrial revenue bonds due December 1, 2025 with a total commitment of $28 million. The bonds were issued by the County of Campbell, Kentucky and Putnam County Development Authority, pursuant to a trust indenture between the issuers and Huntington National Bank, as trustee. Proceeds of the bonds are loaned by the issuers to the Company under a loan agreement, whereby the Company is obligated to make loan payments to the issuers sufficient to pay all debt service and expenses related to the bonds. The Company's obligations under the loan agreement and related note bear interest at a fluctuating rate based on LIBOR plus 1.50% less an approximate 20 percent reduction in the rate related to the tax-free interest income to the bond holders. The loan agreement contains restrictions and covenants on our operations that are consistent with those contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement mentioned below.

There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolver as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 or ~~2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any draws under the Revolver.~~December 31, 2018. Interest under the Revolver is floating, based on LIBOR plus 2.25%. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee of 50 basis points per annum on the total capacity under the Revolver. Availability under the Revolver as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, based on draws and outstanding letters of credit and absence of violations of covenants, was $73.6 million.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain covenants, including among others, the limitation of indebtedness, limitation on liens, and limitations on certain cash distributions. One single financial covenant governs all of the Company's debt and only applies if the outstanding borrowings of the Revolver plus outstanding letters of credit are greater than $22.5 million as of the end of the quarter. The financial covenant is a total leverage ratio calculation, in which total debt less outstanding cash is divided by adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. As the sum of outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and outstanding letters of credit were less than $22.5 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the total leverage ratio of no greater than 5.0 under the financial covenant was not applicable at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~2019. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the loan agreement related to the industrial revenue bonds as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Commodity Derivative Instruments

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company had ~~2.1~~3.6 million mmBTUs (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional amount outstanding natural gas swap contracts to manage commodity price exposures. All of these contracts mature by ~~July 31, 2019.~~June 30, 2020. The Company elected to designate these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815-20, "Derivatives – Hedging". No ineffectiveness was recorded on these contracts during the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017.~~2018.

Interest Rate Derivative Instrument

In September 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a combined notional amount of $100.0 million with a term of four years, which hedged the floating LIBOR on a portion of the term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to an average fixed rate of 1.323% and LIBOR floor of 0.75%. The Company elected to designate these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

On March 29, 2018, the Company terminated its interest rate swap agreements that were previously designated as a cash flow hedge and received $3.2 million in cash, the fair value of the swap on the termination date. The unrealized gain at termination remains in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the original hedged instrument. ~~On the same date,~~During three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $0.2 million and $0.5 million of unrealized gain, net of tax was amortized into interest expense, compared to $0.2 million for both three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Also on March 29, 2018, the Company entered into new interest rate swap agreements for a combined notional amount of $100.0 million, which expire on September 30, 2020 and hedge the floating LIBOR on a portion of the ~~term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement~~Term Loan to an average fixed rate of 2.46% and LIBOR floor of 0.75%. The Company elected to designate these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

In addition, the Canadian operations are subject to audit examinations at federal and provincial levels by tax authorities in those jurisdictions. The tax matters challenged by the tax authorities are typically complex; therefore, the ultimate outcome of any

challenges would be subject to uncertainty. The Company has not identified any issues that did not meet the recognition threshold or would be impacted by the measurement provisions of the uncertain tax position guidance.

~~16.~~17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company leases certain buildings and equipment. The Company's facility and equipment leases may provide for escalations of rent or rent abatements and payment of pro rata portions of building operating expenses. Minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. The total expenses under operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $0.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to $0.8 million and $2.5 million for the same periods in 2017, respectively.

Contingent obligations

Under certain circumstances, the Company provides letters of credit related to its natural gas and other supply purchases. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.4 million.

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company executes contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry. These indemnifications might include claims relating to any of the following: environmental and tax matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which the Company may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, it is the opinion of management that these guarantees and indemnifications are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in certain legal actions and claims, including proceedings under laws and regulations relating to environmental and other matters. Because such matters are subject to many uncertainties and

the outcomes are not predictable with assurance, the total liability for these legal actions and claims cannot be determined with certainty. When the Company determines that it is probable that a liability for environmental matters, legal actions or other contingencies has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, an estimate of the costs to be incurred is recorded as a liability in the financial statements. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, such liabilities were not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. While management believes its accruals for such liabilities are adequate, the Company may incur costs in excess of the amounts provided. Although the ultimate amount of liability that may result from these matters or actions is not ascertainable, any amounts exceeding the recorded accruals are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

~~17.~~18. SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment information is presented in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and geographic areas. The Company's primary reportable segment is wallboard, which represented approximately ~~97.6%~~97.2% and 97.3% of the Company's revenues for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, compared to ~~96.8%~~97.4% and 97.1% of the Company's revenues for ~~both~~ the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. This segment produces wallboard for the commercial and residential construction sectors. The Company also manufactures finishing products, which complement the Company's full range of wallboard products.

Revenues from the major products sold to external customers include gypsum wallboard and finishing products.

The Company's two geographic areas consist of the United States and Canada for which it reports net sales, fixed assets and total assets.

The Company evaluates operating performance based on profit or loss from operations before certain adjustments as shown below. Revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the customer generating the revenue. The Company did not provide asset information by segment as its Chief Operating Decision Maker does not use such information for purposes of allocating resources and assessing segment performance.

19. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using estimated market rates of debt instruments with similar maturities and credit profiles. These inputs are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the carrying value reported in the consolidated balance sheet for the Company's notes payable approximated its fair value. The only assets or liabilities the Company had at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the natural gas hedges and interest rate swaps. Generally, the Company obtains its Level 2 pricing inputs from its counterparties. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets and goodwill. These items are recognized at fair value when they are considered to be impaired.

There were no fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

20. BUCHANAN PLANT OUTAGE

On January 24, 2019, Company's Buchanan, New York plant experienced a significant equipment malfunction, resulting in an outage at the plant. The plant was off-line while repairs were made through March 15, 2019. While the Buchanan plant was down, the Company increased production at its plants in Silver Grove, Kentucky and Palatka, Florida to offset a portion of the lost production from the Buchanan plant.

The Company has standard insurance coverage that is intended to cover circumstances such as these, including business interruption insurance. The Company's insurance coverage is designed to cover the direct costs of rebuilding the damaged equipment, costs incurred to re-direct products from the Company's other plants, and the lost contribution margin of the sales that otherwise would have been made if the plant was operating normally.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded $3.2 million to compensate for operating income associated with the lost sales from business interruption that otherwise would have been made if the plant had been operating normally. The Company is working closely with its insurance advisers and carrier to finalize the claim associated with business interruption coverage.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with "Risk Factors," "Forward-Looking Statements," "Selected Historical Financial and Operating Data," and our financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ~~2017~~2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February ~~23, 2018~~22, 2019 (the ~~"2017~~"2018 Form 10-K") and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable.

Overview

We are a leading manufacturer of gypsum wallboard and complementary finishing products in the eastern United States and eastern Canada. We operate highly efficient and automated manufacturing facilities that produce a full range of gypsum wallboard products for our diversified customer base. We sell our products in the new residential, repair and remodel, or R&R, and commercial construction markets.

Our primary reportable segment is wallboard, which accounted for approximately ~~97.6%~~97.2% and 97.3% of our net sales for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, compared to ~~96.8%~~97.4% and ~~96.8%~~97.1% of our net sales for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. We also operate other business activities, primarily the production of finishing products, which complement our full range of wallboard products. See Note 1718 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our reporting segments.

Factors Affecting Our Results

Market

For the new residential construction market, housing starts are a good indicator of demand for our gypsum products. Installation of our gypsum products into a single family home typically follows a housing start by 90 to 120 days. The R&R market includes renovation of both residential and nonresidential buildings. Many buyers begin to remodel an existing home within two years of purchase. The generally rising levels of existing home sales and home resale values in recent years have contributed to an increase in demand for our products from the R&R market. The commercial construction market encompasses areas such as office, retail, heath care, hospitality, educational and government projects. Demand for our products from commercial construction typically follows signing of construction contracts by 12 to 18 months.

The rate of growth in the new residential construction market, R&R market, and the new nonresidential construction market remains uncertain and will depend on broader economic circumstances, including employment, household formation, the home ownership rate, existing home price trends, availability of mortgage financing, interest rates, consumer confidence, job growth, availability of skilled labor and discretionary business investment.

Wallboard pricing can be impacted by overall industry capacity in the United States. Currently, there is excess wallboard production capacity industry-wide in the United States which can lead to downward pressure on wallboard prices. We estimate that industry capacity utilization was approximately ~~73%~~77% and ~~74%~~75% for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, compared to ~~75%~~81% and 74% for the same ~~periods~~period of ~~2017.~~2018.

Market Outlook

~~Most forecasts continue to project growth in housing starts.~~ Industry Analysts' forecasts for ~~2018~~2019 housing starts in the United States included in the ~~most recent~~June 2019 Blue Chip Economic Indicators are ~~1.26~~1.17 million to ~~1.30~~1.28 million units, based on the average of the bottom ten and top ten forecasts included in the report, respectively. This forecast range represents a decrease of 6% to an increase inof 2% over the ~~range of 5% and 8% over 2017~~2018 housing starts of ~~1.20~~1.25 million. We ~~also~~ expect that the R&R and new commercial ~~construction~~ markets will ~~continue~~grow in percentage by low single digits from 2018 to ~~experience moderate growth.~~2019.

Industry shipments of gypsum wallboard in the United States as reported by the Gypsum Association were an estimated ~~6.2~~6.5 billion square feet and 6.9 billion square feet for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, ~~down 1.8% from the same prior year period.~~respectively. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, industry shipments were ~~18.8~~12.8 billion square feet, up ~~1.4%~~1.6% from the same prior year period. We estimate that industry shipments in the United States for all of ~~2018 to~~2019 will increase in ~~the~~percentage by low single digits from ~~25.3~~24.9 billion square feet in ~~2017.~~2018.

Manufacturing and Distribution Costs

Paper and synthetic gypsum are our principal wallboard raw materials. Paper constitutes our most significant input cost and the most significant driver of our variable manufacturing costs. Energy costs, consisting of natural gas and electricity, are the other key input costs. In total, manufacturing cash costs represented ~~63% and~~ 64% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018, respectively, compared to 64% for both three~~2019 and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017.~~2018. Depreciation and amortization represented ~~12% and~~ 11% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018, respectively, compared to 13% of our cost of goods sold for both three~~2019 and ~~nine months ended September, 2017.~~2018. Distribution costs to deliver products to our customers represented 25% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018, compared to 23% for the same periods of 2017.~~2019 and 2018.

Variable manufacturing costs, including inputs such as paper, gypsum, natural gas, and other raw materials, represented ~~67% and 68%~~69% of our manufacturing cash costs for ~~the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 70% for~~ both the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019 and 2018. Fixed production costs excluding depreciation and amortization consisted of labor, maintenance, and other costs that represented ~~33% and 32%~~31% of our manufacturing cash costs for ~~the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 30% for~~ both the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019 and 2018. Recently we have experienced increases in the costs of ~~production, including for certain raw materials such as~~ gypsum ~~and in~~related to the ~~costs of freight~~need to ~~deliver products to our customers.~~source from additional suppliers at higher delivered costs. We expect to experience continued inflationary pressures on these costs for the foreseeable future.

We currently purchase most of our paperboard liner from Seven Hills, a joint venture between us and WestRock Company. Under the paper supply agreement with Seven Hills, the price of paper adjusts based on changes in the underlying costs of production of the paperboard liner, of which the two most significant are recovered waste paper and natural gas. The largest waste paper source used by the operation is old cardboard containers (known as OCC). Seven Hills has the capacity to supply us with approximately 80% of our paper needs at our full capacity utilization and most of our needs at current capacity utilization on market-based pricing terms. We also purchase additional paper on the spot market or under short-term contracts at competitive prices. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our investment in Seven Hills.

The ~~increase~~decrease was ~~mainly~~primarily driven by ~~a $0.9 million increase in salary,~~lower bonus and stock compensation expenses. ~~The remaining increase was driven by other selling and administrative expense.~~

Loss on intangible asset impairment.During the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a $2.9 million non-cash impairment loss related to two of its trademarks, which it discontinued the use of in the branding of its products.

Gain from business interruption insurance. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a gain of $3.2 million related to lost profits as a result of Buchanan plant outage in the first quarter of 2019. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

See Note 9 and Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the repricing and interest rate swap, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased ~~by $0.3~~$1.7 million to ~~$5.4~~$3.8 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to ~~$5.7~~$5.5 million ~~for~~in the ~~same period of 2017.~~prior period. The lower provision for income taxes was primarily driven by a decrease in certain state taxes as a result of new legislation passed in the second quarter and the federal tax rate from the 2017 tax reform. These regulatory changes resulted in an effective tax rate of approximately 22.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to 34.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease in the effective tax rate was partially offset by the higherlower pretax income.

Changes in other components of cost of goods sold resulted in a net increase of $0.7 million.~~$0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Selling and administrative expense ~~increased $2.4~~decreased $1.1 million, ~~up 8.8%~~down 5.5% from ~~$27.4~~$19.9 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, to ~~$29.8~~$18.8 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~2019. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily driven by ~~a $1.9 million increase in salary,~~lower bonus and stock compensation expenses.

Gain from insurance recoveries, net . On January 24, 2019, the Company's Buchanan, New York plant experienced a significant equipment malfunction, and operations at the facility were temporarily suspended while the equipment was repaired and replaced. The ~~remaining increase was driven by other selling and administrative expense.~~

~~Operating Income.~~ ~~Operating income~~Company resumed operations on March 15, 2019. Gain from insurance recoveries, net of ~~$78.3~~losses incurred, relate to $1.8 million of insurance proceeds received for repairs to the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $15.3 million from operating income~~Buchanan plant in excess of ~~$63.0 million for~~ the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to higher volumes and an increase in net selling price, which was partially offset by higher freight per unit costs and higher labor and maintenance costs.

~~Other Expense, Net.Other expense, net, was~~ $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to other expense, net, of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The change mainly reflects the impact of non-recurring costs of $0.7 millioninsurance deductible and asset write-off. Various additional expenditures related to the ~~debt repricing in the first quarter 2017, which was partially offset by the impact of changes in foreign exchange transactions.~~plant outage were netted against insurance coverage on a dollar for dollar basis. See Note 920 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further ~~details on~~details.

Gain from business interruption insurance. During the ~~repricing.~~second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a gain of $3.2 million related to lost profits as a result of the Buchanan plant outage in the first quarter of 2019. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

~~Interest Expense, Net.~~ ~~Interest expense was $8.0~~Operating Income. Operating income of $42.6 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2019 decreased by $8.7 million or 17.0% from operating income of $51.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to a lower average net sales price, cost inflation, and the recognition of a one time non-cash impairment loss, partially offset by the gain from insurance recoveries and a decrease in bonus and stock compensation expenses.

Other Expense, Net.Other expense, net, decreased by $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of ~~$1.0~~$0.5 million from ~~$9.0~~$5.4 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The decrease was primarily driven by a ~~$0.7~~$0.4 million increase in ~~investment~~interest income ~~and~~on short term liquid investments, a ~~$0.5~~$0.3 million decrease in interest expense on our Term Loan primarily related to decrease in the spread, a $0.2 million increase in capitalized interest, a $0.1 million decrease related to lower average outstanding borrowings compared to 2018, and a $0.1 million decrease due to the replacement of some of the

Term Loan with industrial revenue bonds that have lower interest rates. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.6 million increase on the unhedged portion of the Term Loan as a result of ~~capital spending. The~~the rise in LIBOR rate was offset by lower average outstanding borrowings during the nine months of 2018 compared to prior year period, a lower interest rate spread over LIBOR following the debt repricing on December 6, 2017, and by the terminated interest rate swap gain amortization.

See Note 9 and Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the repricing and interest rate swap, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased ~~$3.0~~$1.0 million to ~~$14.8~~$8.4 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to ~~$17.8~~$9.4 million ~~for~~in the ~~same period of 2017.~~prior period. The lower provision for income taxes was primarily driven by a decrease in certain state taxes as a result of new legislation passed in the second quarter and the federal tax rate from the 2017 tax reform. These regulatory changes resulted in an effective tax rate of approximately 21.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to 33.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease in the effective tax rate was partially offset by the higherlower pretax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations, and borrowings under our debt financing arrangements. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, we had ~~$105.5~~$110.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our current cash position, availability under our Revolver, access to the long-term debt capital markets and cash flow generated from operations should be sufficient not only for our operating requirements but also to enable us to complete our capital expenditure programs, fund share repurchases and any required long-term debt payments through the next several fiscal years. ~~In addition, we have funds available from our revolving credit facilities and the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing.~~ See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of our debt financing arrangements.
