Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Apogee Enterprises reported modest growth in fiscal 2026 sales but sharply lower profitability. Full-year net sales rose 3.2% to $1.40 billion, while diluted EPS fell to $2.52 and adjusted diluted EPS to $3.47, both well below the prior year.

Fourth-quarter results improved year over year, with net sales up 1.6% to $351.4 million, net earnings of $16.6 million, and diluted EPS of $0.78, supported by lower SG&A and prior-year one-time charges. Adjusted EBITDA for the year declined to $167.3 million, with margin sliding to 11.9%.

Cash generation remained solid, with full-year operating cash flow of $122.5 million and capital expenditures of $27.3 million. The company returned $37.2 million to shareholders and reduced long-term debt to $232.3 million, ending the year with a 1.3x consolidated leverage ratio.

For fiscal 2027, Apogee expects net sales between $1.38 billion and $1.43 billion and adjusted diluted EPS between $2.70 and $3.25, implying softer earnings than fiscal 2026. Management highlighted cost savings from Project Fortify and continued disciplined spending as key levers in a challenging market.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Profitability deterioration: Despite 3.2% sales growth to $1.40 billion, fiscal 2026 diluted EPS fell from $3.89 to $2.52 and adjusted diluted EPS from $4.97 to $3.47, with adjusted EBITDA margin dropping from 14.2% to 11.9%.
  • Softer earnings outlook: Fiscal 2027 adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $2.70–$3.25 is below 2026’s $3.47, indicating expected continued margin and earnings pressure even as revenue is guided roughly flat to slightly up.

Insights

Revenue grew modestly, but margins and EPS contracted and guidance is softer.

Apogee delivered fiscal 2026 net sales of $1.40 billion, up 3.2%, helped by the UW Solutions acquisition. However, operating margin declined from 8.7% to 6.0%, and adjusted EBITDA fell to $167.3 million, showing cost and mix pressures.

Full-year diluted EPS dropped from $3.89 to $2.52, with adjusted diluted EPS down from $4.97 to $3.47. Drivers included higher aluminum and health costs, lower volume in several segments, and restructuring and impairment charges tied to Project Fortify, partly offset by lower incentive and insurance expenses.

Fiscal 2027 guidance calls for net sales of $1.38–$1.43 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.70–$3.25, below 2026 adjusted EPS. While leverage improved to 1.3x and operating cash flow was $122.5 million, the outlook suggests continued earnings headwinds unless cost savings and mix improvements offset macro and input-cost pressures.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA increased to $42.4 million, compared to $41.1 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share financial
"Adjusted diluted EPS declined to $3.47 from $4.97"
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is the company’s net profit per share after accounting for potential extra shares (from options or convertible securities) and removing one‑time or unusual items so the number reflects ongoing business results. Think of it like timing a runner’s steady pace after excluding a few unexpected stops; it gives investors a clearer view of sustainable profit available to each share. Investors use it to compare companies and judge underlying profitability and valuation without short‑term distortions.
Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial
"bringing the Consolidated Leverage Ratio2 ... to 1.3x"
A consolidated leverage ratio measures a business group's total debt compared with its ability to pay, by using combined figures for the parent company and its subsidiaries. Think of it like comparing the total mortgage across all properties you own to your overall income or net worth; investors use it to judge how risky the company’s capital structure is and how vulnerable it may be to rising interest rates or income drops.
Project Fortify financial
"The Company substantially completed Project Fortify Phase 2 during the fourth quarter"
Backlog financial
"Segment backlog1 at the end of the quarter was $693.8 million"
A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.
New Market Tax Credit financial
"Gain related to the settlement of a New Market Tax Credit transaction"
A New Markets Tax Credit is a government incentive that gives investors a dollar-for-dollar reduction in their federal taxes when they put money into projects and businesses in low-income communities. Think of it as a coupon that makes risky, long-term community investments cheaper, helping projects get funded that might not otherwise attract capital. For investors, it lowers after-tax cost and can improve returns while supporting development in underserved areas.
Revenue $1.40B +3.2% vs prior year
Net earnings $54.1M -36.4% vs prior year
Diluted EPS $2.52 -35.2% vs prior year
Adjusted diluted EPS $3.47 -30.2% vs prior year
Adjusted EBITDA $167.3M -13.2% vs prior year
Guidance

For fiscal 2027, Apogee expects net sales of $1.38–$1.43 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $2.70–$3.25, with assumed interest expense of about $10 million and capital expenditures of $35–$40 million.

The teams executed well as they continued to serve our customers in a dynamic operating environment,” said Donald Nolan, Executive Chair and CEO. “Throughout the fiscal year, we continued to focus on our priorities while actively managing our cost structure and returning cash to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. This, along with generating strong cash flow, supports a resilient and flexible balance sheet for future growth opportunities."

"As we enter the new fiscal year, we are mindful of ongoing market conditions and are navigating the environment with an emphasis on serving our customers and executing across our operations,” Nolan added. “We intend to maintain prudent and disciplined cost management while being thoughtful and selective in pursuing growth investments, prioritizing opportunities with clear strategic alignment and financial returns that support long‑term value creation."

Fourth-Quarter Consolidated Results (Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 compared to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025)
Net sales increased 1.6% to $351.4 million, driven by favorable price and mix, partially offset by lower volume.
Gross margin rose 80 basis points to 22.4%, primarily due to a non-recurring $9.4 million arbitration decision expensed in the prior year, productivity improvements including savings from Project Fortify 2, and lower risk-related insurance expenses, partially offset by higher aluminum costs, impacts from lower volume, and higher health insurance costs.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 470 basis points to 15.1%, primarily due to a non-recurring impairment charge in the Metals segment in the prior year, lower incentive compensation, acquisition-related expenses incurred in the prior year, and benefits from cost savings of Fortify Phase 2, partially offset by restructuring related expenses.
Operating income increased to $25.8 million from $6.1 million, and operating margin increased 550 basis points to 7.3%.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $42.4 million, compared to $41.1 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 12.1%, compared to 11.9%. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by lower incentive compensation and risk-related insurance expenses, productivity improvements, and benefits from cost savings of Fortify Phase 2, partially offset by higher aluminum costs, reduction in volume, and higher health insurance costs.
Interest expense decreased to $2.8 million, compared to $3.5 million, primarily due to lower debt.
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.78, compared to $0.11, and adjusted diluted EPS increased to $0.92, compared to $0.89.

Full-Year Consolidated Results (Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025)
Net sales increased 3.2% to $1.40 billion, driven by $65.3 million of inorganic sales contribution from the acquisition of UW Solutions, partially offset by lower volume.
Operating income declined to $84.5 million from $118.1 million, and operating margin decreased by 270 basis points to 6.0%.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $167.3 million, compared to $192.7 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 11.9%, compared to 14.2%. The decrease was primarily due to higher aluminum costs, impacts from lower volume, and health insurance costs, partially offset by lower incentive compensation and risk-related insurance expenses, and benefits from cost savings of Fortify Phase 2.
Diluted EPS was $2.52, compared to $3.89. Adjusted diluted EPS declined to $3.47 from $4.97.

Fourth Quarter Segment Results (Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025)
Architectural Metals
Net sales declined 1.9% to $110.0 million, driven by lower volume, partially offset by favorable price and product mix. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.2 million, or 6.5% of net sales, compared to $7.0 million, or 6.3% of net sales. The higher adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by favorable productivity from Fortify Phase 2, and product mix, partially offset by higher aluminum costs and impact from lower volume.
Architectural Services
Net sales increased 7.8% to $127.1 million, primarily due to increased volume, partially offset by price. Adjusted EBITDA was $9.6 million, or 7.5% of net sales, compared to $9.6 million, or 8.2% of net sales. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by lower price, partially offset by the impact from higher volume and improved productivity. Segment backlog1 at the end of the quarter was $693.8 million compared to $774.7 million at the end of the third quarter.
Architectural Glass
Net sales declined 10.4% to $67.4 million, driven by lower volume and price. Adjusted EBITDA was $9.1 million, or 13.5% of net sales, compared to $14.1 million, or 18.8% of net sales. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by impact from lower volume and price and higher material and freight costs, partially offset by productivity improvements, lower incentive compensation and warranty-related expenses.
Performance Surfaces
Net sales increased 13.5% to $54.3 million due to increased volume. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.5 million, or 19.4% of net sales compared to $12.8 million, or 26.8% of net sales. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by higher manufacturing and materials costs, partially offset by impact from higher volume.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other adjusted EBITDA increased to $6.0 million, compared to expense of $2.5 million, primarily due to lower incentive compensation and risk-related insurance expenses, partially offset by higher health insurance costs.
Financial Condition
Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter was $55.8 million, compared to $30.0 million in the prior year period. For the full year, net cash provided by operating activities was $122.5 million, compared to $125.2 million last year. Capital expenditures for the full year were $27.3 million, compared to $35.6 million last year.
For the full year, the Company returned $37.2 million of cash to shareholders, through $15.0 million of share repurchases and $22.2 million of dividends.
Quarter-end long-term debt decreased to $232.3 million, an improvement of $52.7 million, bringing the Consolidated Leverage Ratio2 (as defined in the Company’s credit agreement) to 1.3x at the end of the quarter.
Project Fortify
The Company substantially completed Project Fortify Phase 2 during the fourth quarter and incurred $3.9 million of pre-tax charges. Total pre-tax charges incurred under the program were $27.4 million. The Company estimates annualized cost savings of approximately $26 million as a result of the Project Fortify program.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance, measure operational profitability on a consistent basis, as a factor in determining executive compensation, and to provide enhanced transparency to the investment community. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the reported financial results of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies. This release and other financial communications may contain the following non-GAAP measures:
Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted EPS are used by the Company to provide meaningful supplemental information about its operating performance by excluding amounts that the Company does not consider to be part of core operating results, to enhance comparability of results from period to period.
Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin metrics provide useful information to investors and analysts about the Company’s core operating performance.
Consolidated Leverage Ratio is calculated as Consolidated Funded Indebtedness minus Unrestricted Cash at the end of the current period, divided by Consolidated EBITDA . All capitalized and undefined terms used in this bullet are defined in the Company’s credit agreement dated July 19, 2024, and defined as an exhibit to our form 10-K for the year ended March 1, 2025. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking expected Consolidated Leverage Ratio to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict all the necessary components of such GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort or expense. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
Backlog is defined as the dollar amount of signed contracts or firm orders, generally as a result of a competitive bidding process, which is expected to be recognized as revenue. Backlog is an operating measure used by management to assess future potential sales revenue. It is most meaningful for the Architectural Services segment, due to the longer-term nature of their projects. Backlog is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of contract profitability. Backlog should not be used as

the sole indicator of future revenue because the Company has a substantial number of projects with short lead times that book-and-bill within the same reporting period that are not included in backlog.

FAQ

How did Apogee Enterprises (APOG) perform in fiscal 2026?

Apogee’s fiscal 2026 net sales rose 3.2% to $1.40 billion, but profitability declined. Net earnings fell to $54.1 million and diluted EPS dropped to $2.52. Adjusted diluted EPS decreased to $3.47, reflecting higher costs, lower volume, and restructuring-related items.

What were Apogee Enterprises’ fourth-quarter 2026 earnings and revenue?

In the fourth quarter, Apogee generated $351.4 million in net sales, up 1.6% year over year. Net earnings increased to $16.6 million, and diluted EPS reached $0.78. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.92, slightly above the prior year’s $0.89, supported by lower SG&A and prior-year one-time charges.

What guidance did Apogee Enterprises (APOG) give for fiscal 2027?

For fiscal 2027, Apogee expects net sales between $1.38 billion and $1.43 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $2.70 to $3.25. The outlook assumes interest expense of about $10 million, an adjusted effective tax rate of 26%–27%, and capital spending of $35–$40 million.

How strong was Apogee Enterprises’ cash flow and balance sheet in 2026?

Apogee generated $122.5 million in net cash from operating activities in fiscal 2026 and spent $27.3 million on capital expenditures. It reduced long-term debt to $232.3 million, ending the year with a consolidated leverage ratio of 1.3x, and returned $37.2 million to shareholders.

What is Project Fortify and its impact on Apogee Enterprises’ results?

Project Fortify is Apogee’s cost and productivity program. Fiscal 2026 included $27.4 million in total pre-tax restructuring charges under the program, but the company estimates annualized cost savings of about $26 million, supporting future margin improvement once one-time costs subside.

How did Apogee Enterprises’ business segments perform in 2026?

In fiscal 2026, Architectural Metals net sales declined to $504.0 million, Architectural Services grew to $439.2 million, Architectural Glass fell to $283.7 million, and Performance Surfaces rose to $198.0 million, aided by the UW Solutions acquisition and higher volume.
