Mr. Silberhorn continued, “While we are still early into our transformation journey, these efforts are beginning to be reflected in our financial results. Earnings this quarter improved sequentially compared to the second quarter, with encouraging progress on both revenue growth and margin expansion. We also continued to generate strong cash flow, further improving the company’s financial position. I am proud of our team for delivering these results despite continued cost inflation and supply chain challenges.”
Segment Results
Architectural Framing Systems
Architectural Framing Systems revenue grew 11 percent, to $151.7 million, from $136.7 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by flow-through from pricing actions taken to offset inflation. Third-quarter operating income increased to $10.7 million, up from $7.2 million in last year’s third quarter, primarily driven by improved pricing and the benefits from restructuring actions, which offset the impact of cost inflation. Segment backlog increased to $419 million, compared to $406 million at the end of the second quarter.
Architectural Glass
Architectural Glass revenue in the third quarter was $74.3 million, compared to $84.8 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting lower volume, partially offset by an improved sales mix. Architectural Glass had a third-quarter operating loss of $(1.3) million, which included $3.5 million of restructuring costs. Excluding these costs, third-quarter adjusted operating income2 was $2.2 million, compared to $10.8 million in last year’s third quarter. Architectural Glass’ results in last year’s third quarter included $7.4 million of operating income related to a New Markets Tax Credit transaction.
Architectural Services
Architectural Services revenue grew 20 percent to $92.0 million, up from $76.7 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by increased volume from executing projects in backlog. Third-quarter operating income increased to $9.2 million, compared to $8.6 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the increased volume, partially offset by a less favorable project mix. Segment backlog of $572 million was unchanged from the end of the second quarter.
Large-Scale Optical
Large-Scale Optical revenue grew 8 percent to $27.4 million, up from $25.3 million in the third quarter last year, primarily driven by a more favorable sales mix. Operating income was $6.0 million, compared to $26.1 million in last year’s third quarter. Last year’s third quarter included a $19.3 million gain on the sale of a building. Third-quarter adjusted operating income2 was $6.0 million, compared to $6.8 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting short-term costs for expedited freight, partially offset by the more favorable sales mix.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other costs in the third quarter increased to $6.9 million, up from $3.0 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to increased health care costs. Corporate and other costs in last year’s third quarter included $1.4 million of COVID-related costs.
Financial Condition
Fiscal year to date, net cash provided by operating activities was $86.3 million, compared to $120.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Cash flow in the prior-year period benefited from reduced working capital and temporary actions related to COVID. Capital expenditures through the first nine months of the fiscal year were $13.1 million, down from $17.1 million in the same period last year, as the company slowed some investments while it conducted its strategic review. In the third quarter, the company repurchased 165,851 shares of stock for $6.7 million. Fiscal year to date, the company has returned $44.2 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividend payments, up from $35.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.
