Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Data | ||
Basis of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apogee Enterprises, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, and all majority-owned subsidiaries (the Company). Transactions between Apogee and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||
The results of Alumicor Limited (Alumicor), which the Company acquired on November 5, 2013, have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Refer to Note 6 for further information regarding the acquisition of Alumicor and its treatment in the consolidated financial statements. | ||
GlassecViracon's fiscal year ends December 31 and its results are incorporated into the consolidated financial statements on a two-month lag. There were no significant intervening events that would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had they been recorded during the year ended March 1, 2014. | ||
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior-year amounts have been made to conform to the current-year presentation. The reclassifications did not impact historical net income or shareholders' equity. | ||
Fiscal Year. Apogee's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February. Fiscal 2014 and 2013 each consisted of 52 weeks while fiscal 2012 consisted of 53 weeks. | ||
Financial Instruments. Unless otherwise noted, the carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments approximates fair value. | ||
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Investments with an original maturity of three months or less are included in cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist primarily of money market funds. | ||
Investments. The Company has marketable securities consisting of high-quality municipal bonds. The securities are classified as “available for sale” and are carried at fair value based on prices from recent trades of similar securities. The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If a decline in the fair value of a security is deemed by management to be other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to fair value, and the amount of the write-down is included in net earnings. | ||
The Company has investments in money market funds that are considered restricted investments. At March 1, 2014, long-term restricted investments are restricted for use in the Company’s storefront and entrance business in Michigan and the Company's planned capital investments in the Architectural Glass segment business in Minnesota. The restricted investments are held at fair value based on quoted market prices. | ||
The Company also has investments in mutual funds as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. The mutual fund investments are recorded at estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices, and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. | ||
Inventories. Inventories, which consist primarily of purchased glass and aluminum, are valued at the lower of cost or market. Approximately 53 percent of the inventories are valued by use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, which does not exceed market. If the first-in, first-out method had been used, inventories would have been $5.6 million and $5.3 million higher than reported at March 1, 2014, and March 2, 2013, respectively. During fiscal 2013 and 2012, inventory quantities were reduced, resulting in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current purchases. The effect of inventory liquidations was to increase net income by approximately $0.2 million in fiscal 2013 and $0.1 million in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2014, inventory quantities increased so there was no impact from inventory liquidations. | ||
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant improvements and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income as a reduction of or increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, based on the following estimated useful lives: | ||
Years | ||
Buildings and improvements | 15 to 25 | |
Machinery and equipment | 3 to 15 | |
Office equipment and furniture | 3 to 10 | |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identified intangible assets of acquired businesses. The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with applicable accounting standards. | ||
The Company tests goodwill of each of its reporting units for impairment annually in connection with its fourth-quarter planning process or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The Company has determined that each of its business units represents a reporting unit in accordance with applicable accounting standards. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company completed its annual impairment test using discounted cash flow methodologies for valuing its reporting units as no market comparables were identified. There have not been any material changes in the impairment loss assessment methodology made during the past three fiscal years. The estimates of fair value for the reporting units were found to be in excess of their carrying value, and, therefore, no impairment charge was recorded. | ||
Intangible assets with discrete useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company has reassessed the useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets and determined that the remaining lives were appropriate. | ||
Long-Lived Assets. The carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets is reviewed when impairment indicators exist as required under generally accepted accounting principles. We consider many factors, including short- and long-term projections of future performance associated with these assets. If this review indicates that the long-lived assets will not be recoverable, the carrying value of such assets will be reduced to estimated fair value. | ||
Self-Insurance. The Company obtains commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, employment practices, architect's and engineer's errors and omissions risk, and other miscellaneous coverages. However, a reasonable amount of risk is retained on a self-insured basis primarily through a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism). Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. Losses estimated to be paid within 12 months are classified as accrued self-insurance reserves, while losses expected to be payable in later periods are included in long-term self-insurance reserves. Additionally, we maintain a self-insurance reserve for our health insurance programs maintained for the benefit of our eligible employees. We estimate a reserve based on historical levels of amounts incurred but not reported, which is included in accrued self-insurance reserves. | ||
Environmental Liability. In accordance with accounting standards, we recognize environmental clean-up liabilities on an undiscounted basis when loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The cost of the clean-up is estimated by engineering, financial and legal specialists based on current law. Such estimates are based primarily upon the estimated cost of investigation and remediation required, and the likelihood that, where applicable, other potentially responsible parties will not be able to fulfill their commitments at the sites where the Company may be jointly and severally liable. As part of the acquisition of Tubelite Inc. in fiscal 2008, the Company acquired property which contains historical environmental conditions that the Company intends to remediate. At March 1, 2014, the reserve was $1.5 million. The reserve for environmental liabilities is included in other current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. | ||
Foreign Currency. For foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the period-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. | ||
From time to time, the Company may enter into short duration foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks. There is no material foreign currency risk related to these contracts as they generally have an original maturity date of less than one year. | ||
Revenue Recognition. Generally, our sales terms are “free on board” (FOB) shipping point or FOB destination for our product-type sales, and revenue is recognized when title has transferred. However, the Company's Architectural Services segment business enters into fixed-price contracts for full-service commercial building glass installation and renovation services, which are accounted for as construction-type contracts. These contracts are typically performed over a 12- to 18-month timeframe, and we record revenue for these contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis as we are able to reasonably estimate total contract revenue and total contract costs. The contracts entered into clearly specify the enforceable rights of the parties, the consideration and the terms of settlement, and both parties can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract. Approximately 26 percent, 27 percent and 23 percent of our consolidated net sales in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis. Under the methodology, the Company compares the total costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs for each contract, and records that proportion of the total contract revenue in the period. Contract costs include materials, labor and other direct costs related to contract performance. Given our ability to make reasonable estimates of our total contract revenues and total contract costs, we believe utilizing the cost-to-cost method for revenue recognition provides the greatest degree of precision in measuring progress toward completion of the installation contracts. Provisions are established for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are determined. Amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items are included in contract revenue only when they have been approved by customers. Revenue excludes sales taxes as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. | ||
Pricing and Sales Incentives. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives at the later of the date revenue is recognized or the incentive is offered. Sales incentives given to customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales unless (1) the Company receives an identifiable benefit for goods or services in exchange for the consideration and (2) the Company can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received. | ||
Shipping and Handling. All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are reported as revenues. The costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are reported as cost of sales. | ||
Research and Development. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred and were $7.8 million, $6.8 million and $7.2 million for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Of these amounts, $2.1 million, $1.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, were focused primarily upon design of custom window and curtainwall systems in accordance with customer specifications and are included in cost of sales. | ||
Advertising. Advertising expenses are charged to operations as incurred and were $1.2 million in fiscal 2014 and $1.4 million in each of fiscal 2013 and 2012. They are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated results of operations. | ||
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes as prescribed by applicable accounting standards, which requires use of the asset and liability method. This method recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. See Note 12 for additional information regarding income taxes. | ||
Accounting Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Amounts subject to significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill, insurance reserves, warranty reserves, net sales recognition for construction contracts, income tax provisions and liabilities, and the status of outstanding disputes and claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
New Accounting Standards. In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance surrounding the presentation of items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. This guidance requires entities to disclose, either in the notes to the consolidated financial statements or parenthetically on the face of the statement that reports comprehensive income, items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income in their entirety and the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012, Apogee's fiscal 2014. The adoption of this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 did not impact Apogee's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income were not material for the year ended March 1, 2014. | ||
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during fiscal 2014 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. | ||
Subsequent Events. In connection with preparing the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 1, 2014, we have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. |

At March 1, 2014, the Company has investments in municipal bonds of $11.5 million; $0.2 million is current and $11.3 million is non-current. The Company’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd., holds all of the municipal bonds at the end of fiscal 2014 and held $12.9 million of the bonds at the end of fiscal 2013. Prism insures a portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement. All of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available-for-sale,” are carried at fair value and are reported as short-term marketable securities available for sale or marketable securities available for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. | ||||||||||||||||
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, are summarized below: | ||||||||||||||||

On November 5, 2013, the Company acquired all of the shares of Alumicor Limited, a privately held business, for $52.9 million, including cash acquired of $1.6 million. Alumicor is a window, storefront, entrance and curtainwall company primarily serving the Canadian commercial construction market. Alumicor's results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements and within the Architectural Framing Systems segment since the date of acquisition, including $15.9 million of sales and an operating loss after incurring approximately $0.5 million of acquisition-related expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated results of operations. | ||||||||
The assets and liabilities of Alumicor were recorded in the consolidated balance sheet within the Architectural Framing Systems segment as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values. The purchase price allocation is based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been allocated as follows: | ||||||||

During fiscal 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing $100.0 million revolving credit facility. The expiration date was extended by one year to November 2018 and the letter of credit facility was reduced to $50.0 million from $60.0 million, the outstanding amounts of which decrease the available commitment. No other provisions of the original agreement were materially amended by the amended credit agreement. No borrowings were outstanding under the facility as of March 1, 2014 or March 2, 2013. Letters of credit issued under the facility decrease the amount of available commitment; $76.5 million was available under the facility at March 1, 2014 and $76.6 million was available at March 2, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||
The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at March 1, 2014 was $287.5 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $352.6 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, the Company reduces non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities available for sale in excess of $15 million. The Company’s ratio was 0.25 at March 1, 2014. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At March 1, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility. | ||||||||||||||||
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, $10.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds that had previously been issued for future investment in the Company's Architectural Glass fabrication facility in Utah were redeemed at par. In connection with redeeming this debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company expensed $0.2 million of debt issue costs that had previously been deferred and were being amortized over the term of the debt. | ||||||||||||||||

401(k) Retirement Plan | |||||||||||||
The Company sponsors a single 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all full-time non-union employees, as well as union employees at two of its manufacturing facilities. Under the plan, employees are allowed to contribute up to 60 percent of their eligible earnings to this plan, up to statutory limits. The Company contributes a match of 100 percent of the first one percent contributed and 50 percent of the next five percent contributed on eligible compensation that non-union employees contribute and according to contract terms for union employees. The Company match was $4.2 million in fiscal 2014 and $3.6 million in each of fiscal 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||
Deferred Compensation Plan | |||||||||||||
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan that allows participants to defer compensation and save for retirement and other short-term needs. The deferred compensation liability was $3.2 million at March 1, 2014 and is included in other current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLI) of $3.1 million and mutual funds of $0.4 million with the intention of utilizing them as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. The COLI assets are recorded at their net cash surrender values and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The mutual fund investments are recorded at estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices, and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. | |||||||||||||
Plans under Collective Bargaining Agreements | |||||||||||||
The Company contributes to various multi-employer union retirement plans, which provide retirement benefits to the majority of its union employees; none of the plans are considered significant. The total contribution to these plans in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $3.7 million, $4.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively. | |||||||||||||
Pension Plan | |||||||||||||
The Company sponsors the Tubelite, Inc. Hourly Employees' Pension Plan (Tubelite plan). This plan is a defined-benefit pension plan that was frozen to new entrants and additional years of service credit for participating employees as of January 1, 2004. | |||||||||||||
Officers' Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) | |||||||||||||
The Company sponsors an unfunded SERP for the benefit of certain executives. The plan is considered a defined-benefit pension plan which is based principally on an employee's years of service and compensation levels near retirement. The SERP is frozen to new entrants and no additional benefits accrue for plan participants. | |||||||||||||

Additional Information | |||||||||||||
Assumptions | |||||||||||||
Weighted-average assumptions used at the measurement date to determine the defined-benefit plans' benefit obligation for the following fiscal years are as follows: | |||||||||||||
(Percentages) | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||
Discount rate | 4 | % | 3.75 | % | 4 | % | |||||||
Weighted-average assumptions used at the measurement date to determine the defined-benefit plans' net periodic benefit cost for the following fiscal years are as follows: | |||||||||||||
(Percentages) | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||
Discount rate | 3.75 | % | 4 | % | 5.25 | % | |||||||
Expected return on assets | 4.5 | % | 4.5 | % | 5.5 | % | |||||||
Discount rate. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the defined-benefit plans' pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year based on the measurement date. The discount rate was determined by matching the expected benefit payments to payments from the Principal Discount Yield Curve. This produced a discount rate of 4.00 percent. There are no known or anticipated changes in the discount rate assumption that will impact the pension expense in fiscal year 2015. | |||||||||||||
Expected return on assets. To develop the expected long-term rate of return on asset assumption, the Company considered historical long-term rates of return for broad asset classes, actual past rates of return achieved by the plan, the general mix of assets held by the plan and the stated investment policy for the plan. This resulted in the selection of the 4.50 percent long-term rate of return on assets assumption. | |||||||||||||
Net periodic benefit cost. Total net periodic pension benefit cost was $0.5 million in fiscal 2014, and was $0.6 million in each of fiscal 2013 and 2012. Total net periodic pension benefit cost is expected to be approximately $0.6 million in fiscal 2015. The net periodic pension benefit cost for fiscal 2015 has been estimated assuming a discount rate of 4.00 percent. | |||||||||||||
Contributions | |||||||||||||
Pension contributions to the plans for fiscal 2014 and 2013 totaled $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Because the SERP is unfunded, contributions to that plan represent benefit payments made. The pension contributions in fiscal 2014 and 2013 equaled or exceeded the minimum funding requirement. Fiscal 2015 pension contributions are expected to total $0.8 million. | |||||||||||||
Estimated Future Benefit Payments | |||||||||||||
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid by the plans as follows: | |||||||||||||

The Company does not maintain assets intended for the future use of the SERP. In accordance with its policy, the assets of the Tubelite plan have been invested in a bond fund, the assets are carried at fair value based on prices from recent trades of similar securities, and are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. | |||||||||||||
Employee Stock Purchase Plan | |||||||||||||
The Company also sponsors an employee stock purchase plan into which its employees may contribute up to $500 per week on an after-tax basis. The Company contributes a match of 15 percent of the employee contribution. Contributions and Company match funds are used to purchase shares of Company stock on the open market. The Company match to this plan was $0.1 million in each of fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012. |

Share-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||
The 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, the 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the Plans) provide for the issuance of 1,888,000, 250,000, 3,400,000 and 2,500,000 shares, respectively, for various forms of stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors. Awards under these Plans, either in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory options or stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of award. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards are also included in these Plans. Outstanding options issued to employees generally vest over a four-year period, outstanding SARs vested over a three-year period and outstanding options issued to non-employee directors vested at the end of six months. Outstanding options and SARs have a 10-year term. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards generally vest over a two, three or four-year period. | |||||||||||||
The 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in June 2009 and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in January 2006; no new grants may be made under either of these plans, although exercises of SARs and options previously granted thereunder will still occur in accordance with the terms of the various grants. | |||||||||||||
Total stock-based compensation expense under all Plans included in the results of operations was $4.7 million for fiscal 2014 and $4.4 million for each of fiscal 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||
Stock Options and SARs | |||||||||||||
There were no options or SARs issued in fiscal 2014 or 2013; in fiscal 2012, 450,512 stock options were issued with a weighted average fair value per option at the date of grant of $2.89. The fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2012. | |||||||||||||

At March 1, 2014, there was $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately six months. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $4.2 million, $2.3 million and $1.1 million for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of securities (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant) exercised was $6.2 million in fiscal 2014, $2.5 million in fiscal 2013, and $0.2 million in fiscal 2012. The tax benefit realized for tax deductions from option exercises totaled $2.6 million for fiscal 2014 and $0.4 million for fiscal 2013. There were immaterial amounts of tax benefits realized for the tax deductions from option exercises in fiscal 2012. | |||||||||||||
Nonvested Shares and Share Units | |||||||||||||
The Company's executive compensation program provides key employees selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors with long-term incentives using nonvested shares and nonvested share units. During fiscal 2014 and 2013, nonvested shares were issued based on performance against objectives and generally vest over three years. From fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2012, nonvested share units were issued at the beginning of each fiscal year, which give the recipient the right to receive shares earned at the vesting date. The number of nonvested share units issued at grant was equal to the target number of nonvested share units and allows for the right to receive an additional number of, or fewer, shares based on meeting pre-determined Company three-year performance goals. | |||||||||||||

The Company considers the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside of the United States on the basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs and specific plans for reinvestment of those subsidiary earnings. Should the Company decide to repatriate the foreign earnings, it would need to adjust the income tax provision in the period it was determined that the earnings will no longer be indefinitely invested outside the United States. | ||||||||||||||||
The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is $5.2 million, $6.8 million and $8.9 million. Included in this total liability at fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are $2.6 million, $3.3 million and $5.1 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate. Also included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 are $1.8 million, $2.2 million and $2.0 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in adjustments to deferred taxes. | ||||||||||||||||
Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense, which is consistent with past practices. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits noted above, the Company reduced the accrual for penalties and interest by $0.5 million during fiscal 2014, resulting in a reserve for interest and penalties of $0.8 million at the end of fiscal 2014. During fiscal 2013, the Company reduced the accrual for penalties and interest by $0.5 million, resulting in a reserve for interest and penalties at the end of fiscal 2013 of $1.3 million. During fiscal 2012, the Company reduced the accrual for penalties and interest by $1.4 million, resulting in a reserve for interest and penalties at the end of fiscal 2012 of $1.8 million. | ||||||||||||||||

The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $0.4 million during fiscal 2015 due to audit settlements and lapsing of statutes. | ||||||||||||||||
In September 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS issued final regulations addressing the acquisition , production and improvement of tangible property, and also proposed regulations addressing the disposition of property. These regulations replace previously issued temporary regulations and are effective for tax years beginning January 1, 2014, with optional adoption permitted in 2013. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of these new regulations but does not believe they will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Operating lease commitments. As of March 1, 2014, the Company was obligated under noncancelable operating leases for buildings and equipment. Certain leases provide for increased rentals based upon increases in real estate taxes or operating costs. Future minimum rental payments under noncancelable operating leases are: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Total rental expense, including operating leases and short-term equipment rentals, was $15.4 million, $13.0 million and $11.9 million in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
At March 1, 2014, the Company had one sale and leaseback agreement for equipment that provides an option to purchase the equipment at projected future fair market value upon expiration of the lease in 2018. The lease is classified as an operating lease in accordance with applicable financial accounting standards. The Company has a deferred gain of $3.6 million under the sale and leaseback transaction, which is included in the balance sheet caption as other current and non-current liabilities. The average annual lease payment over the life of the remaining lease is $1.6 million. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Company’s Architectural Services business, the Company is required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to its customers for any non-performance by the Company. At March 1, 2014, $98.4 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $275.7 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as the Company is released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. The Company has never been required to make any payments related to these performance-based bonds with respect to any of the current portfolio of businesses. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Guarantees and warranties. The Company accrues for warranty and claim costs as a percentage of sales based on historical trends and for specific sales credits as they become known and estimable. Actual warranty and claim costs are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual in any given period include the following: changes in manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume. The Company’s warranty and claim accruals are detailed below. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Letters of credit. At March 1, 2014, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related to its construction contracts and certain industrial revenue bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which the Company was obligated as of March 1, 2014 was approximately $23.5 million, all of which have been issued under the credit facility. The Company’s total availability under its $100.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Purchase obligations. The Company has purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of March 1, 2014, these obligations totaled $96.2 million. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Instruments. The Company is party to a foreign exchange forward contract with a U.S. dollar notional value of $3.0 million with the objective of reducing the exposure to fluctuations in the Euro related to a planned capital equipment purchase. The fair value of this contract was not material at March 1, 2014. The Company reports the effective portion of the gain or loss on a cash flow hedge as a component of other comprehensive income, and any gain or loss is included in the value of the capital asset and will be recognized in earnings over the life of the asset. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
New markets tax credit transaction. On November 7, 2013, the Company entered into a transaction with JP Morgan Chase (JPM) related to an investment in plant and equipment within the Company’s Architectural Glass segment (the Project) whereby the Company received $7.8 million of cash from a qualified New Markets Tax Credit program (NMTC). The NMTC was provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 and is intended to induce investment in underserved and impoverished areas of the United States. The Act permits taxpayers, whether companies or individuals, to claim credits against their federal income taxes for up to 39 percent of investments in qualified, active low-income businesses or ventures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In exchange for substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credits, JPM contributed $10.7 million into the Project. JPM does not have a material interest in the underlying economics of the Project. As a result of the transaction structure, the Company has concluded that the entities created in relation to the NMTC transaction are consolidated as variable-interest entities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Based on the contractual arrangements that obligate the Company to deliver tax benefits to JPM, the Company has included the value of JPM’s contribution in other non-current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. The NMTC is subject to 100 percent recapture for a period of seven years. Proceeds received in exchange for the transfer of the tax credits are expected to be recognized as earnings in fiscal 2021, if the expected tax benefits are delivered without risk of recapture to JPM and our performance obligation is relieved. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the arrangement have been deferred and will be recognized in proportion to the recognition of the related profits. These costs amounted to $3.3 million and are included in other non-current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company’s construction supply and services businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Data (Policies) | 12 Months Ended | |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | |
Basis of Consolidation | ' | |
Basis of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apogee Enterprises, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, and all majority-owned subsidiaries (the Company). Transactions between Apogee and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||
The results of Alumicor Limited (Alumicor), which the Company acquired on November 5, 2013, have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Refer to Note 6 for further information regarding the acquisition of Alumicor and its treatment in the consolidated financial statements. | ||
GlassecViracon's fiscal year ends December 31 and its results are incorporated into the consolidated financial statements on a two-month lag. There were no significant intervening events that would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had they been recorded during the year ended March 1, 2014. | ||
Reclassifications | ' | |
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior-year amounts have been made to conform to the current-year presentation. The reclassifications did not impact historical net income or shareholders' equity. | ||
Fiscal Year | ' | |
Fiscal Year. Apogee's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February. Fiscal 2014 and 2013 each consisted of 52 weeks while fiscal 2012 consisted of 53 weeks. | ||
Financial Instruments | ' | |
Financial Instruments. Unless otherwise noted, the carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments approximates fair value. | ||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Investments with an original maturity of three months or less are included in cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist primarily of money market funds. | ||
Investments | ' | |
Investments. The Company has marketable securities consisting of high-quality municipal bonds. The securities are classified as “available for sale” and are carried at fair value based on prices from recent trades of similar securities. The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If a decline in the fair value of a security is deemed by management to be other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to fair value, and the amount of the write-down is included in net earnings. | ||
The Company has investments in money market funds that are considered restricted investments. At March 1, 2014, long-term restricted investments are restricted for use in the Company’s storefront and entrance business in Michigan and the Company's planned capital investments in the Architectural Glass segment business in Minnesota. The restricted investments are held at fair value based on quoted market prices. | ||
The Company also has investments in mutual funds as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. The mutual fund investments are recorded at estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices, and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. | ||
Inventories | ' | |
Inventories. Inventories, which consist primarily of purchased glass and aluminum, are valued at the lower of cost or market. Approximately 53 percent of the inventories are valued by use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, which does not exceed market. If the first-in, first-out method had been used, inventories would have been $5.6 million and $5.3 million higher than reported at March 1, 2014, and March 2, 2013, respectively. During fiscal 2013 and 2012, inventory quantities were reduced, resulting in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of current purchases. The effect of inventory liquidations was to increase net income by approximately $0.2 million in fiscal 2013 and $0.1 million in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2014, inventory quantities increased so there was no impact from inventory liquidations. | ||
Property, Plant and Equipment | ' | |
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant improvements and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income as a reduction of or increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, based on the following estimated useful lives: | ||
Years | ||
Buildings and improvements | 15 to 25 | |
Machinery and equipment | 3 to 15 | |
Office equipment and furniture | 3 to 10 | |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | ' | |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identified intangible assets of acquired businesses. The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with applicable accounting standards. | ||
The Company tests goodwill of each of its reporting units for impairment annually in connection with its fourth-quarter planning process or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The Company has determined that each of its business units represents a reporting unit in accordance with applicable accounting standards. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company completed its annual impairment test using discounted cash flow methodologies for valuing its reporting units as no market comparables were identified. There have not been any material changes in the impairment loss assessment methodology made during the past three fiscal years. The estimates of fair value for the reporting units were found to be in excess of their carrying value, and, therefore, no impairment charge was recorded. | ||
Intangible assets with discrete useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company has reassessed the useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets and determined that the remaining lives were appropriate. | ||
Long-Lived Assets | ' | |
Long-Lived Assets. The carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets is reviewed when impairment indicators exist as required under generally accepted accounting principles. We consider many factors, including short- and long-term projections of future performance associated with these assets. If this review indicates that the long-lived assets will not be recoverable, the carrying value of such assets will be reduced to estimated fair value. | ||
Self Insurance | ' | |
Self-Insurance. The Company obtains commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, employment practices, architect's and engineer's errors and omissions risk, and other miscellaneous coverages. However, a reasonable amount of risk is retained on a self-insured basis primarily through a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism). Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. Losses estimated to be paid within 12 months are classified as accrued self-insurance reserves, while losses expected to be payable in later periods are included in long-term self-insurance reserves. Additionally, we maintain a self-insurance reserve for our health insurance programs maintained for the benefit of our eligible employees. We estimate a reserve based on historical levels of amounts incurred but not reported, which is included in accrued self-insurance reserves. | ||
Environmental Liability | ' | |
Environmental Liability. In accordance with accounting standards, we recognize environmental clean-up liabilities on an undiscounted basis when loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The cost of the clean-up is estimated by engineering, financial and legal specialists based on current law. Such estimates are based primarily upon the estimated cost of investigation and remediation required, and the likelihood that, where applicable, other potentially responsible parties will not be able to fulfill their commitments at the sites where the Company may be jointly and severally liable. As part of the acquisition of Tubelite Inc. in fiscal 2008, the Company acquired property which contains historical environmental conditions that the Company intends to remediate. At March 1, 2014, the reserve was $1.5 million. The reserve for environmental liabilities is included in other current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. | ||
Foreign Currency | ' | |
Foreign Currency. For foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the period-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. | ||
From time to time, the Company may enter into short duration foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks. There is no material foreign currency risk related to these contracts as they generally have an original maturity date of less than one year. | ||
Revenue Recognition | ' | |
Revenue Recognition. Generally, our sales terms are “free on board” (FOB) shipping point or FOB destination for our product-type sales, and revenue is recognized when title has transferred. However, the Company's Architectural Services segment business enters into fixed-price contracts for full-service commercial building glass installation and renovation services, which are accounted for as construction-type contracts. These contracts are typically performed over a 12- to 18-month timeframe, and we record revenue for these contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis as we are able to reasonably estimate total contract revenue and total contract costs. The contracts entered into clearly specify the enforceable rights of the parties, the consideration and the terms of settlement, and both parties can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract. Approximately 26 percent, 27 percent and 23 percent of our consolidated net sales in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis. Under the methodology, the Company compares the total costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs for each contract, and records that proportion of the total contract revenue in the period. Contract costs include materials, labor and other direct costs related to contract performance. Given our ability to make reasonable estimates of our total contract revenues and total contract costs, we believe utilizing the cost-to-cost method for revenue recognition provides the greatest degree of precision in measuring progress toward completion of the installation contracts. Provisions are established for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are determined. Amounts representing contract change orders, claims or other items are included in contract revenue only when they have been approved by customers. Revenue excludes sales taxes as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. | ||
Pricing and Sales Incentives | ' | |
Pricing and Sales Incentives. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives at the later of the date revenue is recognized or the incentive is offered. Sales incentives given to customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales unless (1) the Company receives an identifiable benefit for goods or services in exchange for the consideration and (2) the Company can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received. | ||
Shipping and Handling | ' | |
Shipping and Handling. All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are reported as revenues. The costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are reported as cost of sales. | ||
Research and Development | ' | |
Research and Development. Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred and were $7.8 million, $6.8 million and $7.2 million for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Of these amounts, $2.1 million, $1.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, were focused primarily upon design of custom window and curtainwall systems in accordance with customer specifications and are included in cost of sales. | ||
Advertising | ' | |
Advertising. Advertising expenses are charged to operations as incurred and were $1.2 million in fiscal 2014 and $1.4 million in each of fiscal 2013 and 2012. They are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated results of operations. | ||
Income Taxes | ' | |
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes as prescribed by applicable accounting standards, which requires use of the asset and liability method. This method recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. See Note 12 for additional information regarding income taxes. | ||
Accounting Estimates | ' | |
Accounting Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Amounts subject to significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill, insurance reserves, warranty reserves, net sales recognition for construction contracts, income tax provisions and liabilities, and the status of outstanding disputes and claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
New Accounting Standards | ' | |
New Accounting Standards. In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance surrounding the presentation of items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. This guidance requires entities to disclose, either in the notes to the consolidated financial statements or parenthetically on the face of the statement that reports comprehensive income, items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income in their entirety and the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012, Apogee's fiscal 2014. The adoption of this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 did not impact Apogee's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income were not material for the year ended March 1, 2014. | ||
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during fiscal 2014 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. | ||
Subsequent Events | ' | |
Subsequent Events. In connection with preparing the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 1, 2014, we have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. |
