Segment Information

Segment Information

The Company manages its business and serves its customers through reportable segments differentiated by product type, end market, and geography. The Company's four reportable segments are described below:

U.S. Residential Products—The U.S. Residential Products segment utilizes aluminum, steel, copper and vinyl to produce residential roof drainage products, including preformed gutters, downspouts, elbows, soffit, drip edge, fascia, flashing, snow guards and related accessories. These products are used primarily for the repair, replacement or enhancement of residential roof drainage systems. The Company sells these products to home improvement retailers, lumber yards, distributors and contractors from manufacturing and distribution facilities throughout North America. The Company also produces specialty made-to-order vinyl replacement windows and aluminum patio and awning components sold primarily to home improvement contractors in the western U.S.

U.S. Commercial Products—The U.S. Commercial Products segment utilizes various materials including steel coil, aluminum coil and fiberglass to create various products with commercial applications, including roofing and siding panels, ridge caps, flashing, trim, soffit and other accessories as well as sidewall components, siding and other exterior components for the towable RV, cargo and manufactured housing markets. The Company sells these products to builders, contractors, lumber yards, home improvement retailers, OEMs, and RV manufacturers from manufacturing and distribution facilities located throughout the U.S. These products are used in the construction of a wide variety of small scale commercial, agricultural and industrial building types on either wood or metal frames, manufactured homes, and towable RVs.

European Roll Coated Aluminum—The European Roll Coated Aluminum segment uses a roll coating process to apply paint to bare aluminum coil and, to a lesser extent, bare steel coil in order to produce specialty coated coil, which the Company also processes into specialty coated sheets and panels. The Company sells these products to building panel manufacturers, contractors and UK “holiday home,” RV and transportation OEMs throughout Europe and in parts of Asia. The Company’s customers use its specialty coated metal products to manufacture, among other things, RV sidewalls, commercial roofing panels, interior ceiling panels, and liner panels for shipping containers. The Company produces and distributes these roll coated products from facilities located in the Netherlands and the UK.

European Engineered Products—The European Engineered Products segment utilizes aluminum and vinyl extrusions to produce residential windows, doors and shower enclosures. These products are sold to home improvement retailers, distributors and factory‑built “holiday home” builders in the UK. The Company also produces windows used in the operator compartments of heavy equipment, components sold to suppliers of automotive OEMs in Western Europe and RV doors. The Company produces and distributes these engineered products from facilities in France and the UK and has developed extensive in-house manufacturing capabilities, including powder coating, glass cutting, anodizing and glass toughening.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based primarily on segment income (loss) from operations. Expenses, income and assets that are not segment specific relate to the holding company and business activities conducted for the overall benefit of the Company, and accordingly, are not attributable to the Company’s segments.
