Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On June 13, 2011, Quanex Building Products Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release (the "Earnings Press Release") reporting its earnings results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011. The foregoing is qualified by reference to the Press Release which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Company reported a diluted loss from continuing operations of $0.04 per share in the quarter that included the following special items: LIFO expense of $0.03; Edgetech transaction costs of $0.03; and ERP program costs of $0.01. Diluted earnings from continuing operations were $0.12 per share a year ago which included a bargained purchase gain of $0.03 per diluted share and a LIFO expense of $0.02. Second quarter earnings from continuing operations were down from a year ago primarily due to weaker results at the Engineered Products group, which had both lower sales and higher organic growth initiative expenses that will drive programs to enhance the group's long term sales.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Exhibit 99.1     Press Release dated June 13, 2011 announcing the Company's second quarter 2011 earnings results
