APOGEE REPORTS FISCAL 2012 FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (June 21, 2011) – Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq:APOG) today announced fiscal 2012 first-quarter results. Apogee provides distinctive value-added glass solutions for the architectural and picture framing industries.
FY12 FIRST QUARTER VS. PRIOR-YEAR PERIOD
| • | Revenues of $153.3 million were up 7 percent. |
| • | Operating loss was $3.4 million, compared to a loss of $6.1 million. |
| • | Per share loss was $0.08, compared to a loss of $0.13. |
| • | Architectural segment revenues increased 7 percent, with an operating loss of $7.1 million. |
| • | Backlog ended at $247.0 million, compared to $237.2 million at the end of fiscal 2011 and $214.9 million in the prior-year period. |
| • | Large-scale optical segment revenues grew 8 percent, while operating income increased 38 percent to $4.6 million. |
| • | Cash and short-term investments totaled $43.0 million, compared to $60.6 million at the end of the fiscal 2011. |
Commentary
“Although losses continued for Apogee with the ongoing difficult commercial construction market conditions, we are encouraged that revenues increased year on year and our architectural segment backlog again grew sequentially,” said Russell Huffer, Apogee chief executive officer. “Our large-scale optical segment grew revenues and earnings with a good mix of value-added picture framing glass and acrylic in an improving retail market.
“As expected, our first-quarter architectural segment losses resulted from low pricing on architectural glass projects and lower margins on installation projects bid at the bottom of the commercial construction cycle, as well as low architectural glass capacity utilization,” he said. “Our balance sheet remains solid with cash and short-term investments at $43 million.”
He added that all businesses operated well in the quarter.

FY12 FIRST-QUARTER SEGMENT AND OPERATING RESULTS VS. PRIOR-YEAR PERIOD
Architectural Products and Services
| • | Revenues of $135.3 million were up 7 percent, with the addition of the Brazilian architectural glass business, which contributed 5 percentage points of the increase, and growth in the window and storefront businesses. |
| • | Operating loss was $7.1 million, compared to a loss of $8.6 million. |
| • | Operating loss was lower than in the prior-year period, with the revenue growth in the window and storefront businesses offset by lower margin work in installation. |
| • | The Brazilian architectural glass business had minimal impact on operating income. |
| • | Backlog ended at $247.0 million, compared to $237.2 million at the end of fiscal 2011 and $214.9 million in the prior-year period. |
| • | Approximately $175 million, or 71 percent, of the backlog is expected to be delivered in fiscal 2012, and approximately $72 million, or 29 percent, in fiscal 2013. |
Large-Scale Optical Technologies
| • | Revenues of $18.1 million were up 8 percent. |
| • | Volume of value-added picture framing products grew for large and independent framers, and for the fine art/museum market. |
| • | Operating income increased 38 percent to $4.6 million. |
| • | Operating margin of 25.7 percent resulted from the ongoing strong mix of value-added products, the volume increase and strong operational performance. This compares to an operating margin of 20.2 percent in the prior-year period. |
Financial Condition
| • | Long-term debt was $21.3 million, compared to $21.4 million at the end of fiscal 2011. |
| • | Long-term debt includes $20.4 million in long-term, low-interest industrial revenue and recovery zone facility bonds. |
| • | Cash and short-term investments totaled $43.0 million, compared to $60.6 million at the end of fiscal 2011. Key drivers for the change were: |
| • | Execution of a sale/leaseback transaction for equipment generated more than $10 million in cash. |
| • | Working capital used $25 million in cash, with $15 million for seasonal use to fund incentive and retirement plans, and tax payments, and $10 million to support current and planned growth. |
| • | Funding of a previously recognized settlement on a discontinued operations matter used $3 million. |
| • | Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash and short-term investments, less current liabilities) was $63.3 million, compared to $39.4 million at the end of fiscal 2011. |
| • | Capital expenditures were $1.6 million, down 24 percent from the prior-year period. |
| • | Depreciation and amortization were $7.0 million, up 1 percent from the prior-year period. |
OUTLOOK
“Our outlook for fiscal 2012 has improved slightly as we’ve become more confident that architectural glass price increases should flow through as the year progresses and stronger volume is anticipated for our architectural glass and storefront businesses,” Huffer said. “For fiscal 2012, we now expect revenue growth to exceed 10 percent, and we expect to be slightly profitable for the year. This outlook, in part, depends on our ability to fill in open fourth-quarter capacity in our architectural segment. We also expect Apogee to generate positive cash flow from operations in fiscal 2012.

“We believe that actions we’ve taken in our architectural businesses, ranging from price increases and productivity improvements to project selection changes, will contribute to improved fiscal 2012 results. Somewhat offsetting improvements will be lower margins in the installation business as it executes projects bid at the cycle trough,” Huffer said. “We anticipate that our large-scale optical segment will continue to be profitable throughout fiscal 2012.
“The McGraw-Hill Construction forecast for non-residential construction and the American Institute of Architects Architecture Billings Index indicate that our end markets should start improving later in calendar 2011,” Huffer said. “However, Apogee is a very late cycle company that lags commercial construction markets by several months.”
He added that architectural bidding activity continues to be good and remains driven by institutional work – government, education and health care projects – but that the majority of work currently being bid is scheduled for fiscal 2013.
“We believe we are well positioned financially and anticipate renewed interest in value-added, energy-efficient products as domestic commercial construction markets recover. We are focused on introducing new green products, both in the United States and internationally, including in Latin American markets through our Brazilian acquisition,” he said.
