During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we announced strategic actions to streamline our business operations, enable a more efficient cost model, and better position the Company for profitable growth (referred to as “Project Fortify”). Project Fortify primarily impacted the Architectural Metals Segment and included:

•Transferring production operations from the Company’s facility in Walker, Michigan, to the Company’s facilities in Monett, Missouri and Wausau, Wisconsin.

•Simplifying the segment’s brand portfolio and commercial model to improve flexibility, better leverage the Company’s capabilities, and enhance customer service.

Additionally, the Company implemented actions to optimize processes and streamline resources in its Architectural Services Segment and Corporate and Other. The Company completed Project Fortify during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and incurred a total of $16.7 million of restructuring charges, which led to an annualized pre-tax cost savings of approximately $14 million.

On April 23, 2025, we announced a second phase of Project Fortify (referred to as "Project Fortify Phase 2" or "Phase 2") to drive further cost efficiencies, primarily in the Architectural Metals and Architectural Services Segments. Phase 2 focuses on further optimizing our operating footprint and aligning resources to enable a more effective operating model. We expect to incur approximately $28 million to $29 million of pre-tax charges associated with Phase 2. The total charges are expected to include the following:

We expect the actions associated with Phase 2 to be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and expect them to deliver annualized pre-tax cost savings of approximately $25 million to $26 million.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we incurred $5.1 million of pre-tax costs associated with Phase 2, of which $3.5 million is included in cost of sales and $1.6 million is included within SG&A. During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, we incurred $23.6 million of pre-tax costs associated with Phase 2, of which, $13.4 million is included in cost of sales and $10.2 million is included within SG&A. For the nine months ended November 29, 2025, SG&A charges include a $5.0 million non-cash intangible asset impairment charge in the Architectural Services segment and a $2.6 million non-cash asset write-off and other charges in Corporate and Other.

The table below reflects the pretax impact of Project Fortify for the quarters ended November 29, 2025, and November 30, 2024, respectively.
