(b)Basis of Presentation for Interim Periods
(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. Management believes that the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. Seasonal changes and other conditions can affect the sales volumes of the Company's products. Therefore, the financial results for any interim period do not necessarily indicate the expected results for the year.
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended (the "2018 10-K"). The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in those financial statements.

(d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases.Leases,", as of January 1, 2019. The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted within ASU 2016-02, which among other things, allowed the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company elected the comparative period practical expedient, which 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 recognize the cumulative effect adjustment in equity. The Company also 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. 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 adopted ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to 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 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 of the standard did not have a material impact on 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 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 early adopted this ASU. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's 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 $13.5$12.8 million and $12.2$38.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $12.3 million and $37.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, 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 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 AgreementTerm Loan lowering its interest rate by an additional 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 2.25% and allowing for a further 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 threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company made $0.7$2.0 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 March 31,September 30, 2019, the annual effective interest rate, including original issue discount and amortization of debt issuance costs, was 5.0%4.5%.
In December 2018, the Company completed a financing of industrial revenue bonds due December 1, 2025 with a total commitment of $28$28.0 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 no0 amounts outstanding under the Revolver as of March 31,September 30, 2019 or 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 March 31,September 30, 2019, based on draws and outstanding letters of credit and absence of violations of covenants, was $73.6$73.7 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. OneNaN 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 March 31,September 30, 2019, the total leverage ratio of no greater than 5.0 under the financial covenant was not applicable at March 31,September 30, 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 March 31,September 30, 2019.

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. During the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, $0.2 million and $0.7 million of the unrealized gain, net of tax related to the terminated swaps was amortized into interest expense.expense, compared to $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the same periods of 2018.

Table of Contents
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 March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 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.

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 March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 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 March 31,September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $4.9 million gain from business interruption insurance. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has fully settled all claims related to the outage and has received all anticipated insurance payments associated with the outage.

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 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2019 (the "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 97.5%97.4% of our net sales for both the three and 96.7%nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 97.6% and 97.3% of our net sales for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 andSeptember 30, 2018, respectively. We also operate other business activities, primarily the production of finishing products, which complement our full range of wallboard products. See Note 18 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 74%77% and 76% for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 67%73% and 74% for the same period of 2018.
Market Outlook
Industry Analysts' forecasts for 2019 housing starts in the United States included in the AprilOctober 2019 Blue Chip Economic Indicators are 1.211.22 million to 1.301.28 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 2% to an increase of 4% and a decrease of 3%2% over the 2018 housing starts of 1.25 million. We expect that the R&R and new commercial markets will grow in percentage by low single digits from 2018 to 2019.
Industry shipments of gypsum wallboard in the United States as reported by the Gypsum Association were an estimated 6.36.6 billion square feet and 5.76.2 billion square feet for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. TheFor the nine months ended September 30, 2019, numbersindustry shipments were 19.4 billion square feet, up 10.2% when compared to 2018.3.3% from the same prior year period. We estimate that industry shipments in the United States for all of 2019 will increase in percentage by low single digits from 24.9 billion square feet in 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 65% and 64% of our costs of goods sold for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 65%63% and 64% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.same periods of 2018, respectively. Depreciation and amortization represented 11% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to 12% of our cost of goods soldand 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.same periods of 2018, respectively. Distribution costs to deliver products to our customers represented 24% and 25% of our costs of goods sold for both the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 23%25% for theboth three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018. Recently we have experienced increases in the costs of freight to deliver products to our customers as a result of capacity issues in the trucking industry. We expect to experience continued inflationary pressures on these costs for the foreseeable future.
Variable manufacturing costs, including inputs such as paper, gypsum, natural gas, and other raw materials, represented 68% of our manufacturing cash costs for both the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to 69%67% and 68% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.same periods of 2018, respectively. Fixed production costs excluding depreciation and amortization consisted of labor, maintenance, and other costs that represented 32% of our manufacturing cash costs for both the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to 31%33% and 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.same periods of 2018, respectively. Recently we have experienced increases in the costs of gypsum related to the need to 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.

We caution that you should not place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which we make it. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management carried out the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,September 30, 2019.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.


Limitations in Control Systems. The design of any system of control is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all future events, no matter how remote, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may not deteriorate. Because of their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
