Discontinued Operations On May 13, 1999, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the stock of its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, Harmon Ltd., for consideration including $2 million cash and a $5.3 million secured, subordinated note. The results of Harmon Ltd., as well as those of the Company's Detention & Security unit, which was sold in November 1998, and the Company's international curtainwall operations are reported as discontinued operations. Earnings from operations of discontinued businesses, net of taxes, for the three months and nine months ended November 27, 1999 were $2.3 million and $11.5 million, respectively. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended February 27, 1999 and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes to consolidated financial statements, included therein. Sales and Earnings - ------------------ Third quarter net sales were $202.8 million, up 5% from $192.7 million a year ago. Net sales at Glass Technologies rose 10%, while net sales at Glass Services increased 3%. Third quarter results reflected a net loss from continuing operations of $5.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $5.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted shared, in the year-ago quarter. This year's third quarter included $2.3 million after-tax, or $0.08 per diluted share, in earnings from discontinued operations, which mainly reflected recognition of tax benefits associated with the completion of the sale of the Company's domestic curtainwall operations. Net sales for the nine months ended November 27, 1999, increased 7%, to $632.4 million, compared to $591.2 million a year ago. Year-to-date net earnings from continuing operations of $4.2 million fell 76% from the $17.5 million reported a year ago. Year-to-date net earnings from discontinued operations were $11.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share. These results reflect significant cash collections related to the completion of certain projects from the Company's discontinued Asian curtainwall operations as well as the tax benefit noted above. The following table presents the percentage change in net sales and operating income for the Company's two segments and on a consolidated basis, for three and nine months when compared to the corresponding periods a year ago. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- November 27, November 28, % November 27, November 28, % (Dollars in thousands) 1999 1998 Chg 1999 1998 Chg ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Net Sales Glass Technologies $ 87,361 $ 79,329 10% $ 264,237 $ 235,284 12% Glass Services 117,050 113,520 3 372,298 356,482 4 Intersegment elimination (1,621) (184) 781 (4,172) (557) 649 ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Net sales $ 202,790 $ 192,665 5% $ 632,363 $ 591,209 7% ============================================== ============================================== Operating Income (Loss) Glass Technologies $ (937) $ 5,878 NM $ 7,618 $ 14,905 (49)% Glass Services (3,593) 5,937 NM 9,705 21,703 55 Corporate and Other (235) (258) (9)% (724) (658) 10 ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Operating income (loss) $ (4,765) $ 11,557 NM $ 16,599 $ 35,950 (54)% ============================================== ============================================== 7 Glass Technologies (GT) - ----------------------- Net sales at GT increased 10% to $87.4 million, led by strong growth at Tru Vue, Viratec and Wausau. Due to low operating rates and additional costs incurred during the quarter to improve production rates at Viracon and Viratec, the segment reported an operating loss of $0.9 million compared with operating income of $5.9 million in last year's third quarter. Ramp-up of production volumes continued to progress at the Viracon and Viratec facilities in Statesboro, GA and San Diego, CA, respectively, but was well below original expectations. Viracon, the segment's largest operating unit, reported net sales at prior year levels. Viracon reported an operating loss for the quarter as compared to solid earnings for the same period a year ago. The change in profitability was the result of the Owatonna, MN plant reporting a small loss for the quarter, while the new Statesboro, GA facility reported another operating loss. The Owatonna loss was due to reduced operating rates and additional costs incurred to position the facility for improved production velocity. These actions affected the facility until late in the third quarter. Viracon's Statesboro, GA facility reduced its operating loss, compared to the first two quarters of the fiscal year, while again increasing its sales and production volumes. However, the ramp-up is proceeding at a slower pace than originally planned. Backlog for Viracon at November 27, 1999 was at an all-time high of $38.6 million. Viratec reported a larger operating loss for the quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago despite a net sales increase of 48%. The decreased earnings were a result primarily of a slower than anticipated ramp-up of its technology change-over to accommodate a new product in its CRT coating operation in San Diego as well as its new vertical coater in Faribault, MN. Tru Vue recorded increases of 15% and 31% in net sales and operating income, respectively, for the quarter as compared to the same period a year ago. These improvements reflect the strong demand for Tru Vue's higher margin, value-added picture framing glass products. The Architectural Products Group, which consists of Wausau Window and Wall Systems and Linetec, also reported sales growth of 15% for the quarter as well as another solid quarter of operating income. Despite strong backlog and strong demand for most of its products, GT expects to report lower operating earnings for the fourth quarter and the year as compared to the same periods in fiscal 1999. This primarily reflects the slower than expected ramp-up of production capacity at its Viracon and Viratec locations. Glass Services (GS) - ------------------- As compared to the prior year quarter, GS sales for the quarter increased 3% to $117.1 million. GS reported an operating loss of $3.6 million compared with operating income of $5.9 million in last year's third quarter. The auto glass business reported a 1% decrease in net sales as compared to the third quarter of the prior year. A significant operating loss was recorded by this business primarily as a result of continued pricing pressures in the retail and wholesale business and soft retail demand. Same-store unit retail sales remained virtually unchanged for the quarter, but same-store dollar sales fell approximately 8% as a result of industry-wide pricing pressures. At the end of the quarter, GS had 335 retail locations and 80 Glass Depot distribution centers. Harmon, Inc., the Company's full service building glass installation and repair business, reported a 50% decrease in operating income, compared to last year's extremely strong third quarter while reporting an 18% increase in net sales. Last year's results included significant margin recognition on the unit's construction contracts. Auto glass industry conditions continue to be extraordinarily weak, particularly in pricing at the distribution and retail channels. Although the Company is working to reduce annualized operating costs, it anticipates another sizable operating loss for GS in the fourth quarter, which is historically the seasonal low point for 8 the auto glass industry. The Company is actively considering strategic alternatives for its auto glass business, which may require additional investment or expense, or both. Discontinued Operations - ----------------------- On May 13, 1999, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the stock of its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, Harmon Ltd., for consideration including $2 million cash and a $5.3 million secured, subordinated note. The results of Harmon Ltd., as well as those of the Company's Detention & Security unit, which was sold in November 1998, and the Company's international curtainwall operations are reported as discontinued operations. Earnings from operations of discontinued businesses, net of taxes, for the three months and nine months ended November 27, 1999 were $2.3 million and $11.5 million, respectively. Backlog - ------- On November 27, 1999, Apogee's consolidated backlog stood at $178 million, up 15% from the $156 million reported a year ago. The backlog of GT's operations represented 64% of the Company's consolidated backlog. Consolidated - ------------ The following table compares quarterly results with year-ago results, as a percentage of sales, for each caption. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------------- ------------------------ Nov. 27, Nov. 28, Nov. 27, Nov. 28, 1999 1998 1999 1998 ------------------------- ------------------------ Net sales 100.0 100.0 100.0 100.0 Cost of sales 84.9 78.0 80.6 78.2 ------------------------- ------------------------ Gross profit 15.1 22.0 19.4 21.8 Selling, general and administrative expenses 17.4 16.0 16.8 15.7 ------------------------- ------------------------ Operating (loss) income (2.3) 6.0 2.6 6.1 Interest expense, net 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.2 ------------------------- ------------------------ (Loss) earnings from continuing operations before income and other items (3.6) 4.8 1.4 4.9 Income taxes (1.2) 1.7 0.5 1.8 Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies 0.3 0.2 0.3 0.2 Minority interest 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 ------------------------- ------------------------ (Loss) earnings from continuing operations (2.6) 2.9 0.7 3.0 Earnings from discontinued operations 1.1 0.8 1.8 0.5 ------------------------- ------------------------ Net (loss) earnings (1.5) 3.8 2.5 3.4 ========================= ======================== Effective tax rate 35.0% 36.0% 35.0% 36.0% On a consolidated basis for the three-month and nine-month periods, gross profit fell significantly as a percentage of net sales. As compared to the prior year's nine-month results, gross profit at Tru Vue, Architectural Products and Harmon, Inc. increased due to solid demand and favorable sales mix for these operations, but not enough to offset the gross profit declines reported by Viracon, Viratec and the auto glass businesses, where margins fell for the reasons noted above. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose by $4.6 million, or 15%, for the quarter, and by $13.5 million, or 15%, for nine months primarily due to increased personnel and outside services costs. A portion of the increased personnel costs represented classification variances associated with the Company's many system conversions; quantification of such classifications is not considered to be cost effective. Gross profit benefited as a result of these classification variances. Interest expense rose 7% over last year for both the three-month and nine-month periods, due to higher borrowing levels offset by slightly lower interest rates. The nine-month effective income tax rate was 35.0% compared to a 36.0% tax rate in fiscal 1999. 9 Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Financial Condition - ------------------- Net cash provided by operating activities Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended November 27, 1999 totaled $26.0 million. That figure primarily reflected the combination of net earnings and noncash charges, such as depreciation and amortization. At quarter end, the Company's working capital stood at $105.0 million, an increase of $15.0 million over year-end fiscal 1999. This increase in working capital is primarily due to increased inventories, decreased payables/accruals and decreased income taxes payable, compared to year-end, fiscal 1999. Decreased deferred tax assets and increased billings in excess of costs partly offset these items. Increased bank borrowings reflect the excess of working capital, capital expenditures and dividend requirements over the Company's cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by financing activities Bank borrowings stood at $186.8 million at November 27, 1999; 12% higher than the $166.4 million outstanding at February 27, 1999. At November 27, 1999, long-term debt stood at 57% of total capitalization, as compared to 56% at fiscal year-end 1999. The Company anticipates bank borrowings to increase slightly over the remainder of the fiscal year as working capital, capital expenditures and dividend requirements are expected to exceed the Company's cash provided by operating activities. Net cash used in investing activities Additions to property, plant and equipment during the nine months ended November 27, 1999 totaled approximately $42.2 million. Major items included expenditures for the GT expansion activities as well as expenditures on information systems projects throughout the Company. The Company expects to incur total expenditures of approximately $50 million in fiscal 2000, approximately half of which were expended in the first quarter. Cash decreased $0.2 million for the nine months ended November 27, 1999. Shareholders' Equity - -------------------- At November 27, 1999, Apogee's shareholders' equity stood at $141.7 million. Book value per share was $5.11, up from $4.73 per share at February 27, 1999, with outstanding common shares decreasing nominally during the period. Net earnings and proceeds from common stock issued in connection with the Company's stock-based compensation plans accounted for the increase, slightly offset by dividends paid. Impact of Year 2000 - ------------------- Each of the Company's businesses had project teams in place to evaluate its Information Technology (IT) systems, non-IT systems, and third-party readiness for compliance with Year 2000 requirements. For these purposes, the Company defines its "IT systems" as those hardware and software systems which comprise its central management information systems and its telephone systems. All other systems, including those involved in local, on-site product design or manufacturing, are considered "non-IT systems." "Third parties" include the Company's key suppliers and customers. Across the Company, remediation activities were completed prior to the calendar year rollover. Each business organized planning, testing and support teams to monitor systems, equipment and facilities before, during and after New Year's weekend. As of January 5th, no material issues have surfaced in any business operations, systems or third party relationships. While the Company does not expect further Year 2000 issues to arise, project teams will continue to monitor IT and non-IT systems through normal operational and support processes. Virtually none of the Company's products are date-sensitive. 10 Based on the Company's assessments completed through early January 2000, the Company's total cost of addressing Year 2000 issues is currently estimated to be in the range of $6-7 million. Aside from costs to implement ERP projects for other business purposes, the IT-related portion of the total Year 2000 costs is estimated to be 90% of total Year 2000 expenditures. The Company recognizes that issues related to Year 2000 constitute a material known uncertainty. The Company believes it has been taking reasonable steps to address the Year 2000 problem. The failure to identify and remediate Year 2000 problems or the failure of external third parties who do business with the Company to effectively remediate their Year 2000 issues could cause system failures or errors, business interruptions and, in a worst case scenario, the inability to operate in the ordinary course of business for an unknown length of time. The effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or liquidity could be materially adverse. New Accounting Standards - ------------------------ In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued and, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, although earlier application is permitted. SFAS No. 133 requires all derivatives to be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of derivatives should be recognized in either net earnings or other comprehensive earnings, depending on the designated purpose of the derivative. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 133 in Fiscal 2002. SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

These uncertainties and other risk factors include, but are not limited to: whether the cost savings programs implemented at the auto glass businesses will lead to improved operating results, the continuation of unfavorable industry conditions in the auto glass businesses, whether the strategic alternatives being considered for the auto glass businesses will be available on terms favorable to the Company, whether the production ramp-ups of new or expanded plant capacity in the Glass Technologies segment will proceed as anticipated and will lead to successful operating results for those companies now or in the future, whether demand for GT products and services will continue at present rates and whether generally favorable economic conditions will continue. A number of other factors should be considered in conjunction with this report's forward-looking statements, any discussion of operations or results by the Company or its representatives and any forward-looking discussion, as well as comments contained in press releases, presentations to securities analysts or investors, or other communications by the Company. These other factors are set forth in the cautionary statement filed as Exhibit 99 to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 1999 and include, without limitation, cautionary statements regarding changes in economic and market conditions, factors related to competitive pricing, commercial building market conditions, management of growth of business units, greater than expected costs or difficulties related to the operation of the businesses, the impact of foreign currency markets, the integration of acquisitions, the realization of expected economies gained through expansion and information systems technology updates. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each 11 such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company does not enter into market risk-sensitive instruments for trading purposes. The Company's principal market risk is sensitivity to interest rates, due to its significant debt to total capitalization ratio. To manage the Company's direct risk from changes in market interest rates, management actively monitors the interest-sensitive components of the Company's balance sheet, primarily debt obligations, as well as market interest rates, in order to minimize the impact of changes in interest rates on net earnings and cash flow. The primary measure of interest rate risk is the simulation of net income under different interest rate environments. The approach used to quantify interest rate risk is a sensitivity analysis. This approach calculates the impact on net earnings, relative to a base case scenario, of rates increasing or decreasing gradually over the next 12 months by 200 basis points. The changes in interest rates affecting the Company's financial instruments would result in approximately a $2.5 million impact to net earnings, based upon the Company's current debt obligations. All other things being equal, as interest rates increase, net earnings decrease; as interest rates decrease, net earnings increase. The Company also routinely uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, and future firm commitments of its operations. Forward exchange contracts are also used from time to time to manage near-term foreign currency cash requirements. The primary objective of these hedging activities is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes, net of related tax effects, are minimized. Given the Company's balanced foreign exchange position described above, an adverse change in foreign exchange rates upon which these contracts are based would result in exchange losses from these contracts that would, in all material respects, be fully offset by exchange gains on the underlying net monetary exposures for which the contracts are designated as hedges. 12 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
