Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 27, 2016. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended November 26, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended November 26, 2016, we evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. On December 14, 2016, we acquired substantially all the assets of Sotawall Inc., a privately-held curtainwall design and fabrication company based in Toronto, Canada, for approximately $135 million (USD). The acquisition was funded through a combination of approximately $70 million of existing cash and short-term investments and approximately $65 million from our committed revolving line of credit. Purchase accounting will be performed in the fourth quarter and the acquired company will be included within our Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment. Results of operations for Sotawall will be included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
