ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of February 26, 2022, using criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) . The Company's management believes that, as of February 26, 2022, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria. Following this report are reports from the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of February 26, 2022. 27 Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, and the related consolidated results of operations, statements of comprehensive earnings, cash flows, and shareholders' equity, for each of the three years in the period ended February 26, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 26, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of February 26, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 22, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Net Sales — Revenue Recognition for Long-Term Contracts in the Architectural Services Segment — Refer to Notes 1, 2, and 15 to the consolidated financial statements The Architectural Services segment, which provides building glass and curtainwall installation services and operates under long-term, fixed-price contracts, accounted for approximately $349.4 million, or 27 percent of total net sales for the year ended February 26, 2022. The contracts for this business typically have a single, bundled performance obligation, as the business generally provides interrelated services and integrates these services into a combined output specified by the customer. The customer obtains control of this combined output, generally installed window and curtainwall systems, over time. The Company measures progress on these contracts following an input method, by comparing total costs incurred to-date to the total estimated costs for the contract and recording that proportion of the total contract price as revenue. Given the judgments necessary to estimate total costs and profit for the contract performance obligations used to recognize revenue for long-term, fixed-price contracts in the Architectural Services segment, auditing such estimates required extensive audit effort due to the complexity of long-term contracts and a high degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures. 28 Table of Contents How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to management’s estimates of total costs and profit for the contract performance obligations used to recognize revenue for certain long-term contracts in the Architectural Services segment included, but were not limited to the following: • We tested the effectiveness of controls over long-term contract revenue in the Architectural Services segment, including those over the estimates of total costs and profit for performance obligations. • We developed an expectation of the amount of total long-term contract revenue in the Architectural Services segment based on prior year margins applied to cost of sales in the current year and compared our expectation to the amount of long-term contract revenue ultimately recorded by management. • We evaluated management’s ability to estimate total costs and profit by comparing actual costs and profit to management’s historical estimates for performance obligations that have been fulfilled. • We selected a sample of long-term contracts from the Architectural Services segment contract portfolio and performed the following procedures: • Evaluated whether the long-term contracts were properly included in management’s calculation of long-term contract revenue based on the terms and conditions of each contract, including whether continuous transfer of control to the customer occurred as progress was made toward fulfillment of the performance obligations. • Compared the transaction prices to the consideration expected to be received based on current rights and obligations under the long-term contracts and any modifications that were agreed upon with the customers. • Tested management’s identification of distinct performance obligations by evaluating whether the underlying services are highly interdependent and interrelated. • Tested the accuracy and completeness of the costs incurred to date for the performance obligations. • We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculation of long-term contract revenue for the performance obligation. • Evaluated the estimates of total cost and profit for the performance obligations by: • Comparing costs incurred to date to the costs management estimated to be incurred to date. • Evaluating management’s ability to achieve the estimates of total cost and profit by performing corroborating inquiries with the Company’s project managers and engineers, and comparing the estimates to management’s work plans, engineering specifications, and supplier contracts. • Comparing management’s estimates for the selected contracts to costs and profit of similar performance obligations, when applicable. Goodwill — Window and Wall Systems Reporting Unit — Refer to Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using both the income approach and the market approach. The income approach uses a discounted cash flow methodology that involves significant judgment and projections of future performance, including future revenues, future operating expenses, and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both. The Company’s goodwill balance was $130 million as of February 26, 2022, of which $55.6 million relates to the Window and Wall Systems reporting unit. The fair value of the Window and Wall Systems reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of the measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was identified. Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of the Window and Wall Systems reporting unit, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's estimates and assumptions related to selection of future revenues, future operating expenses, and discount rates required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to future revenues, future operating expenses, and discount rates used by management to estimate the fair value of the Window and Wall Systems reporting unit included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of the reporting units, such as controls related to management's selection of future revenues, future operating expenses, and discount rates. • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) discount rate, including testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate, testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management. • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts by comparing the forecasts to (1) historical results, (2) internal communications to management and the Board of Directors, (3) industry information, and (4) forecasted information 29 Table of Contents included in Company press releases as well as in analyst and industry reports of the Company. • We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenue and future operating expenses by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts. • We evaluated the allocation of the Company’s estimated fair value to its reporting units and the comparison of the Company’s estimated fair value to its market capitalization. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Minneapolis, MN April 22, 2022 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2003. 30 Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of February 26, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 26, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended February 26, 2022, of the Company and our report dated April 22, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Minneapolis, MN April 22, 2022 31 Table of Contents CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (In thousands, except per share data)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Data Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the balances of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Apogee, we, us, our or the Company) after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. We consolidate variable interest entities related to our New Market Tax Credit transactions as it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of those entities' operations (refer to Note 10 for more information). Fiscal year Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February, or as determined by the Board of Directors. Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020 each consisted of 52 weeks. Accounting estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to current year presentation. Cash equivalents Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are included in cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value . Marketable securities To the extent the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale securities exceeds the fair value, the Company assesses the debt securities for credit loss. When assessing the risk of credit loss, the Company considers factors such as the severity and the reason of the decline in value, such as any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency or other adverse conditions specifically related to the security, and management's intended holding period and time horizon for selling. During fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not recognize any credit losses related to its available-for-sale securities. Further, as of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses related to its available-for-sale securities. Marketable securities are included in other current and non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and gross realized gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net in our consolidated results of operations. Inventories Inventories, which consist primarily of purchased glass and aluminum, are valued at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) is recorded at cost. Significant improvements and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Long-lived assets to be held and used, such as PP&E, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, based on estimated useful lives of 10 to 25 years for buildings and improvements; 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment; and 3 to 7 years for office equipment and furniture. Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets or asset groups, including finite-lived intangible assets ("intangible assets") subject to amortization and property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances such as asset utilization, physical change, legal factors or other matters indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. When this review indicates the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group, an asset impairment expense is recognized in earnings in the period such a determination is made. The amount of the impairment expense recorded is the amount by which the carrying value of the impaired asset or asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flows. 37 Table of Contents During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an impairment of $ 3.0 million was recognized within other (expense) income within the consolidated results of operations related to a minority equity investment held by the Company which represents a write-down of the entire investment in the company. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, based on the finalization of our plans for integrating the Sotawall business into the Architectural Services segment, beginning in fiscal 2023, we determined that the finite-lived intangible assets were impaired as of February 26, 2022. As such, a long-lived asset impairment charge of $ 36.7 million in finite-lived intangible assets was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 within the Architectural Framing Systems segment. As a result of restructuring plans announced during the second quarter of fiscal 2022, asset impairments on property plant and equipment and leases in the amount of $ 21.5 million were recorded for the year ended February 26, 2022. Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identified intangible assets of acquired businesses. We have historically evaluated goodwill for impairment annually at our year-end, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we changed the date of our annual goodwill impairment testing from our fiscal year-end to the first day in our fiscal fourth quarter. This change results in better alignment of the annual impairment test with our strategic and annual planning processes. This change was determined to not be material to and had no impact on our current or historical consolidated financial statements. Evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of each reporting unit in which goodwill is recorded using a qualitative or quantitative analysis. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed by segment management on a regular basis. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we combined certain reporting units to form two reporting units, following certain structural and leadership changes at the Company, specifically within the Architectural Framing Systems segment. Within this segment, as a result of integration efforts that are ongoing, leadership over our Wausau, EFCO and Sotawall reporting units were combined to form the Window and Wall Systems reporting unit, and our Linetec and Tubelite reporting units were combined to form the Storefront and Finishing Solutions reporting unit. With these organizational changes, Architectural Framing Systems segment management regularly reviews and evaluates the results of the Window and Wall Systems and Storefront and Finishing Solutions reporting units. Additionally, functional leaders in areas such as operations, sales, marketing and general and administrative areas are responsible for allocating resources and reviewing results of the Window and Wall Systems and Storefront and Finishing Solutions reporting units. The goodwill of the five individual pre-integration reporting units was aggregated to the respective combined reporting units. We evaluated goodwill on a qualitative basis prior to and subsequent to this change and concluded no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary as a result of this change. With the above noted changes, our reporting units for our fiscal 2022 annual impairment test were determined to be Window and Wall Systems, Storefront and Finishing Solutions, Viracon, Harmon and Tru Vue. We estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using both the income approach and the market approach. The income approach uses a discounted cash flow methodology that involves significant judgment and projections of future performance. Assumptions about future revenues and future operating expenses, capital expenditures and changes in working capital are based on the annual operating plan and other business plans for each reporting unit. These plans take into consideration numerous factors, including historical experience, current and future operational plans, anticipated future economic conditions and growth expectations for the industries and end markets in which we participate. These projections are discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital, which considers the risk inherent in our projections of future cash flows. We determine the weighted-average cost of capital for this analysis by weighting the required returns on interest bearing debt and common equity capital in proportion to their estimated percentages in an expected capital structure, using published data where possible. We used discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainties inherent in the respective businesses and in the internally developed forecasts. The market approach uses a multiple of earnings and revenue based on guidelines for publicly traded companies. Intangible assets We have intangible assets for certain acquired trade names and trademarks which are determined to have indefinite useful lives. We test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually at the same measurement date as goodwill, the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment expense is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. If an impairment expense is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount becomes the asset's new accounting basis. 38 Table of Contents Fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the trade name or trademark has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from the asset. This method requires estimation of future revenue from the related asset, the appropriate royalty rate, and the weighted average cost of capital. The assessment of fair value involves significant judgment and projections about future performance. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized based on estimated useful lives ranging from 18 months to 30 years and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives of all intangible assets are reviewed annually, and we have determined that the remaining lives were appropriate. Leases On March 3, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases , which results in recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on our consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement for leases with terms greater than twelve months. The initial lease liability is recognized at the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We combine lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance costs, in calculating the related asset and lease liabilities for all underlying asset groups. Refer to additional information in Note 8. Self-Insurance We obtain commercial insurance to provide coverage for potential losses in areas such as employment practices, workers' compensation, directors and officers, automobile, architect's and engineer's errors and omissions, product rework and general liability. A substantial portion of this risk is retained on a self-insured basis through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. We establish a reserve for estimated ultimate losses on reported claims and those incurred but not yet reported utilizing actuarial projections. Reserves are classified within other current liabilities or non-current self-insurance reserves based on expectations of when the estimated loss will be paid. Additionally, we maintain a self-insurance reserve for health insurance programs offered to eligible employees, included within other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The reserve includes an estimate for losses on reported claims as well as for amounts incurred but not yet reported, based on historical trends. Warranty and project-related contingencies We are subject to claims associated with our products and services, principally as a result of disputes with our customers involving the performance or aesthetics of our architectural products and services. We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims for product warranty and rework costs, based on historical product liability claims as a ratio of sales. We also reserve for estimated exposures on other claims as they are known and reasonably estimable. Reserves are included in other current and non-current liabilities based on the estimated timing of dispute resolution. Foreign currency Local currencies are considered the functional currencies for our subsidiaries outside of the United States. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated using average monthly exchange rates. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives and hedging activities We are exposed to, among other risks, the impact of changes in aluminum prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates in the normal course of business. In order to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. We use derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks, and do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to leveraged derivatives. All derivative instruments within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , are recorded as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. All hedging instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are designated and effective as hedges with changes recognized in other comprehensive earnings (loss). Instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market with changes recognized in current earnings. Cash flows from derivative instruments are classified in the statements of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. Please refer to Note 4 for further disclosure on derivatives. 39 Table of Contents Revenue recognition Our significant accounting policy for revenue recognition follows ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . We generate revenue from the design, engineering and fabrication of architectural glass, curtainwall, window, storefront and entrance systems, and from installing those products on commercial buildings. We also manufacture value-added glass and acrylic products. Due to the diverse nature of our operations and various types of contracts with customers, we have businesses that recognize revenue over time and businesses that recognize revenue at a point in time. During fiscal 2022 , approximately 42 percent of our total revenue is recognized at the time products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities, which is when control is transferred to our customer, consistent with past practices. These businesses do not generate contract-related assets or liabilities. Variable consideration associated with these contracts and orders, generally related to early pay discounts or volume rebates, is not considered significant. We also have three businesses which operate under long-term, fixed-price contracts, representing approximately 38 percent of our total revenue in the current year. The contracts for these businesses have a single, bundled performance obligation, as these businesses generally provide interrelated products and services and integrate these products and services into a combined output specified by the customer. The customer obtains control of this combined output, generally integrated window systems or installed window and curtainwall systems, over time. We measure progress on these contracts following an input method, by comparing total costs incurred to-date to the total estimated costs for the contract, and record that proport ion of the total contract price as revenue in the period. Contract costs include materials, labor and other direct costs related to contract performance. We believe this method of recognizing revenue is consistent with our progress in satisfying our contract obligations. Due to the nature of the work required under these long-term contracts, the estimation of total revenue and costs incurred throughout a project is subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. It is common for these contracts to contain potential bonuses or penalties which are generally awarded or charged upon certain project milestones or cost or timing targets, and these can be based on customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on our assessments of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. Long-term contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements of work to be performed. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification, generally through a change order, either creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations, and we evaluate these types of modifications to determine whether they may be considered distinct performance obligations. In most cases, these contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract. Therefore, these modifications are accounted for as part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress is recognized as an adjustment to revenue, generally on a cumulative catch-up basis. Typically, under these fixed-price contracts, we bill our customers following an agreed-upon schedule based on work performed. Because the progress billings do not generally correspond to our measurement of revenue on a contract, we generate contract assets when we have recognized revenue in excess of the amount billed to the customer. We generate contract liabilities when we have billed the customer in excess of revenue recognized on a contract. Finally, we h ave one business, making up approximately 20 percent of our to tal revenue in the current year, that recognizes revenue following an over-time output method based upon units produced. The customer is considered to have control over the products at the time of production, as the products are highly customized with no alternative use, and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed over the production p eriod. We believe this over-time output method of recognizing revenue reasonably depicts the fulfillment of our performance obligations under our contracts. Billings still occur upon shipment. Therefore, contract assets are generated for the unbilled amounts on contracts when production is complete. Variable consideration associated with these orders, generally related to early pay discounts, is not considered significant. Additionally, we have made the following policy elections associated with revenue recognition: • We account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related goods transfers to the customer as fulfillment activities, instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations. 40 Table of Contents • We exclude from the transaction price all sales taxes related to revenue-producing transactions that are collected from the customer for a government authority. We are considered a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. • We generally expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would be less than one year. These costs primarily relate to sales commissions and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. • We do not adjust contract price for a significant financing component, as we expect the period between when our goods and services are transferred to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods and services to be less than a year. Shipping and handling Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling are reported as revenue. Costs we incur for shipping and handling are reported as cost of sales. Restructuring During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we announced plans to realign and simplify our business structure which resulted in the closure of two facilities within the Architectural Glass segment, in Dallas, Texas and Statesboro, Georgia. These closures were made in order to concentrate this segment on premium, high-performance products. Additionally, employee termination costs were incurred related to these facility closures, realignment of the Architectural Framing Systems segment, and within the Corporate office. The actions associated with this announced plan continued through fiscal 2022 and are expected be substantially completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Refer to additional information in Note 16. Research and development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and were $ 17.3 million, $ 15.3 million and $ 16.6 million for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of these amounts, $ 9.5 million, $ 9.9 million and $ 8.0 million, respectively, were focused primarily upon design of custom window and curtainwall systems in accordance with customer specifications and are included in cost of sales. The remainder of the expense is included within selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses, and were $ 1.2 million in fiscal 2022, $ 1.1 million in fiscal 2021 and $ 1.4 million in fiscal 2020. Income taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. See Note 13 for additional information regarding income taxes. Subsequent events We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. Subsequent to the end of the year, we purchased 1,571,139 shares of stock under our authorized share repurchase program, at a total cost of $ 74.3 million. Starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, based on the Company's planned integration of Sotawall into the Architectural Services segment, the Company expects that the results of the Sotawall business will be reported as part of the Architectural Services segment. Adoption of new accounting standards At the beginning of fiscal 2022, we adopted the guidance in ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . The amendments in this ASU removed exceptions on intra-period tax allocations and reporting and provided simplification on accounting for franchise taxes, tax basis goodwill and tax law changes. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. At the beginning of fiscal 2022, we adopted the guidance in ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. 41 Table of Contents 2. Revenue, Receivables and Contract Assets and Liabilities Revenue The following table disaggregates total revenue by timing of recognition (see Note 15 for disclosure of revenue by segment): (In thousands) February 26, 2022 February 27, 2021 February 29, 2020 Recognized at shipment $ 551,252 $ 504,583 $ 610,049 Recognized over time 762,725 726,191 777,390 Total $ 1,313,977 $ 1,230,774 $ 1,387,439 Receivables Receivables reflected in the financial statements represent the net amount expected to be collected. An allowance for credit losses is established based on expected losses. Expected losses are estimated by reviewing individual accounts, considering aging, financial condition of the debtor, recent payment history, current and forecast economic conditions and other relevant factors. Upon billing, aging of receivables is monitored until collection. An account is considered current when it is within agreed upon payment terms. An account is written off when it is determined that the asset is no longer collectible. Retainage on construction contracts represents amounts withheld by our customers on long-term projects until the project reaches a level of completion where amounts are released.

Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of costs and earnings and other deferred revenue on contracts. Retainage is classified within receivables and deferred revenue is classified within other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The time period between when performance obligations are complete and when payment is due is not significant. In certain of our businesses that recognize revenue over time, progress billings follow an agreed-upon schedule of values, and retainage is withheld by the customer until the project reaches a level of completion where amounts are released.

Financial Instruments Marketable Securities Through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), we hold the following available-for-sale marketable securities, made up of municipal and corporate bonds: (In thousands) Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Estimated Fair Value February 26, 2022 $ 11,862 $ 45 $ 123 $ 11,784 February 27, 2021 12,517 386 10 12,893 Prism insures a portion of our general liability, workers' compensation and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism's obligations under the reinsurance agreements. The amortized cost and estimated fair values of our municipal and corporate bonds at February 26, 2022, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities, as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty.

The information that follows explains the various types of derivatives and financial instruments we use, how such instruments are accounted for, and how such instruments impact our financial position and performance. In fiscal 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge a portion of our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on our floating-rate revolving credit facility and term loan facility. As of February 26, 2022, the interest rate swap contract had a notional value of $ 30 million. We periodically enter into forward purchase contracts to manage the risk associated with fluctuations in foreign currency rates (primarily related to the Canadian dollar and Euro) and aluminum prices, generally with an original maturity date of less than one year. As of February 26, 2022, we held foreign exchange forward contracts and aluminum purchase contracts with U.S. dollar notional values of $ 13.7 million and $ 7.9 million, respectively. These derivative instruments are recorded within our consolidated balance sheets within other current assets and liabilities. Gains or losses associated with these instruments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Fair value measurements Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data). We do not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities. 44 Table of Contents Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were: (In thousands) Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Total Fair Value February 26, 2022 Assets: Money market funds $ 19,288 $ — $ 19,288 Municipal and corporate bonds — 11,784 11,784 Cash surrender value of life insurance — 17,831 17,831 Aluminum hedging contract — 2,133 2,133 Interest rate swap contract — 718 718 Liabilities: Deferred compensation — 12,491 12,491 Foreign currency forward/option contract — 161 161 February 27, 2021 Assets: Money market funds $ 26,034 $ — $ 26,034 Municipal and corporate bonds — 12,893 12,893 Cash surrender value of life insurance — 18,632 18,632 Foreign currency forward/option contract — 606 606 Aluminum hedging contract — 363 363 Liabilities: Deferred compensation — 13,507 13,507 Interest rate swap contract — 504 504 Money market funds and commercial paper Fair value of money market funds was determined based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Commercial paper was measured at fair value using inputs based on quoted prices for similar securities in active markets. These assets are included within cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets. Municipal and corporate bonds Municipal and corporate bonds were measured at fair value based on market prices from recent trades of similar securities and are classified within our consolidated balance sheets as other current or other non-current assets based on maturity date. Cash surrender value of life insurance and deferred compensation Contracts insuring the lives of certain employees who are eligible to participate in non-qualified pension and deferred compensation plans are held in trust. Cash surrender value of the contracts is based on performance measurement funds that shadow the deferral investment allocations made by these participants. Changes in cash surrender value are recorded in other expense. The deferred compensation liability balances are valued based on amounts allocated by participants to the underlying performance measurement funds. Derivative instruments The interest rate swap is measured at fair value using unobservable market inputs, based off benchmark interest rates. Forward foreign exchange and forward purchase aluminum contracts are measured at fair value using unobservable market inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points, foreign currency exchange rates and forward purchase aluminum prices. Derivative positions are primarily valued using standard calculations and models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. Industry standard data providers are our primary source for forward and spot rate information for interest and currency rates and aluminum prices. Nonrecurring fair value measurements We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a nonrecurring basis including goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment and right-of-use lease assets. These assets were initially measured and recognized at amounts equal to the fair value determined as of the date of acquisition or purchase subject to changes in value only for foreign currency translation. Periodically, these assets are tested for impairment, by comparing their respective carrying values to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit or asset group in which they reside. In the event any of these assets were to become impaired, we would recognize an impairment expense equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit, impaired asset or asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value measurements of reporting units are estimated using an income approach 45 Table of Contents involving discounted cash flow models that contain certain Level 3 inputs requiring significant management judgment, including projections of economic conditions, customer demand and changes in competition, revenue growth rates, gross profit margins, operating margins, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, terminal growth rates and discount rates. Fair value measurements of the reporting units associated with our goodwill balances and our indefinite-lived intangible assets are estimated at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year for purposes of impairment testing if a quantitative analysis is performed. Fair value measurements for long-lived assets or asset groups, including intangible assets subject to amortization, property and equipment and right-of-use lease assets, are valued using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measure any impairment loss using discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of long-lived assets. See Note 1 and Note 6 for additional information on the impairment charges recorded to goodwill, indefinite- and finite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021. See Note 16 for additional information on the impairment charges recorded to property, plant and equipment during fiscal 2022. 5.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of the Accounting Policy related to Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identified intangible assets of acquired businesses. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Based on the impairment analysis performed in the fourth quarter, estimated fair value was in excess of carrying value at all of our reporting units. At the end of the prior year ended February 27, 2021, we incurred goodwill impairment expense of $ 46.7 million and $ 17.1 million in our EFCO and Sotawall reporting units, respectively, which represents the total accumulated goodwill impairment expenses recorded as of February 26, 2022.

The error was not material to any previously reported annual or interim consolidated financial statements. 46 Table of Contents Indefinite-lived intangible assets We have intangible assets for certain acquired trade names and trademarks which are determined to have indefinite useful lives. We test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually at the same measurement date as goodwill, the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Based on our annual analysis, the fair value of each of our trade names and trademarks exceeded the carrying amount, however, as a result of triggering events resulting from the finalization of our plans for integrating the Sotawall business into the Architectural Services segment, beginning in fiscal 2023, it was determined that the carrying value of the Sotawall trade name exceeded fair value by $ 12.7 million as it was determined to have an immaterial fair value, resulting in the trade name being fully impaired as of fiscal 2022 year end. This amount was recognized as impairment expense in the fourth quarter ended February 26, 2022. Finite-lived intangible assets Long-lived assets or asset groups, including intangible assets subject to amortization and property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. We use undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measure any impairment loss using discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of long-lived assets. Due to triggering events as a result of finalization of our plans for integrating the Sotawall business into the Architectural Services segment, beginning in fiscal 2023, we determined that the finite-lived intangible assets were impaired as of February 26, 2022. As such, a long-lived asset impairment charge of $ 36.7 million in finite-lived intangible assets was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 within the Architectural Framing Systems segment. The gross carrying amount of other intangible assets and related accumulated amortization was: (In thousands) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Impairment Expense Foreign Currency Translation Net February 26, 2022 Finite-lived intangible assets: Customer relationships $ 122,961 $ ( 47,226 ) $ ( 33,608 ) $ 141 $ 42,268 Other intangibles 41,838 ( 35,613 ) ( 3,127 ) ( 14 ) 3,084 Total finite-lived intangible assets 164,799 ( 82,839 ) ( 36,735 ) 127 45,352 Indefinite-lived intangible assets: Trade names and trademarks 39,832 — ( 12,738 ) 35 27,129 Total intangible assets $ 204,631 $ ( 82,839 ) $ ( 49,473 ) $ 162 $ 72,481 February 27, 2021 Finite-lived intangible assets: Customer relationships $ 119,647 $ ( 40,443 ) $ — $ 3,315 $ 82,519 Other intangibles 41,293 ( 34,234 ) — 643 7,702 Total finite-lived intangible assets 160,940 ( 74,677 ) — 3,958 90,221 Indefinite-lived intangible assets: Trade names and trademarks 45,300 — ( 6,300 ) 832 39,832 Total intangible assets $ 206,240 $ ( 74,677 ) $ ( 6,300 ) $ 4,790 $ 130,053 Amortization expense on finite-lived intangible assets was $ 7.8 million, $ 7.6 million and $ 7.7 million in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense is included within selling, general and administrative expenses for all intangible assets other than that of debt issuance costs, which is included in interest expense. Estimated future amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets is: (In thousands) 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Estimated amortization expense $ 4,683 $ 4,544 $ 4,073 $ 4,056 $ 4,054 7. Debt As of February 26, 2022, we had a committed revolving credit facility with maximum borrowings of up to $ 235 million with a maturity of June 2024. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, as of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, respectively. As of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, we also had a $ 150 million term loan with a maturity of June 2024. 47 Table of Contents Our revolving credit facility and term loan contain two affirmative financial covenants that require us to stay below a maximum debt-to-EBITDA ratio and maintain a minimum ratio of interest expense-to-EBITDA. Both ratios are computed quarterly, with EBITDA calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, our credit facility and term loan may be terminated and/or any amounts then outstanding may be declared immediately due and payable. At February 26, 2022, we were in compliance with both financial covenants. We have the ability to issue letters of credit of up to $ 80.0 million under the credit facility, the outstanding amounts of which decrease the available commitment. At February 26, 2022, $ 218.6 million was available under this revolving credit facility. Debt at February 26, 2022 also included $ 13.0 million of industrial revenue bonds that mature in fiscal years 2023 through 2043. The fair value of the industrial revenue bonds approximated carrying value at February 26, 2022, due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds would be classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy described in Note 4. We also maintain two Canadian committed, revolving credit facilities totaling $ 25.0 million (USD). No borrowings were outstanding under the facilities in place as of February 26, 2022 or as of February 27, 2021.

Leases We have operating leases for certain of the buildings and equipment used in our operations. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. At the beginning of fiscal 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-20, Leases . We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance in adopting ASC 842, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward our historical lease classification. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one to ten years, some of which include renewal options that can extend the lease for up to an additional ten years at our sole discretion. We have made an accounting policy election not to record leases with an original term of 12 months or less on our consolidated balance sheet and such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In determining lease asset value, we consider fixed or variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. We use a discount rate for each lease based upon an estimated incremental borrowing rate over a similar term. We have elected the practical expedient to account for lease and nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) as a single lease component. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We are not a lessor in any transactions. 48 Table of Contents The components of lease expense were as follows: (In thousands) February 26, 2022 February 27, 2021 Operating lease cost $ 13,509 $ 13,973 Short-term lease cost 1,024 1,910 Variable lease cost 2,991 2,827 Total lease cost $ 17,524 $ 18,710 Other supplemental information related to leases for the year ended February 26, 2022 was as follows: (In thousands) February 26, 2022 February 27, 2021 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities $ 14,301 $ 13,952 Lease assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ 3,259 $ 23,772 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases 5.3 years 6.0 years Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 2.9 % 3.0 % Future maturities of lease liabilities are as follows: (In thousands) 2022 Fiscal 2023 $ 13,604 Fiscal 2024 11,311 Fiscal 2025 9,950 Fiscal 2026 7,929 Fiscal 2027 6,423 Thereafter 6,735 Total lease payments 55,952 Less: Amounts representing interest 3,617 Present value of lease liabilities $ 52,335 9. Employee Benefit Plans 401(k) Retirement Plan We sponsor a single 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all full-time, non-union employees, as well as union employees at two of our manufacturing facilities. Under the plan, employees are allowed to contribute up to 60 percent of eligible earnings to the plan, up to statutory limits. We match 100 percent of the first one percent contributed and 50 percent of the next five percent contributed on eligible compensation that non-union employees contribute and according to contract terms for union employees. In response to the effects of COVID-19 on our business, we suspended the matching contribution from June 1, 2020 until December 31, 2020. In total, our matching contributions were $ 7.7 million in fiscal 2022, $ 3.5 million in fiscal 2021 and $ 9.0 million in fiscal 2020. Deferred Compensation Plan We maintain a plan that allows participants to defer compensation. The deferred compensation liability was $ 12.5 million and $ 15.0 million at February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, respectively. We have investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLI) of $ 17.8 million and money market funds (classified as cash equivalents) of $ 0.3 million with the intention of utilizing them as long-term funding sources for this plan. The COLI assets are recorded at their net cash surrender values and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Plans under Collective Bargaining Agreements We contribute to a number of multi-employer union retirement plans, which provide retirement benefits to the majority of our union-represented employees; none of the plans are considered significant. However, the risks of participating in these multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: • Assets contributed to these plans by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers • If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers 49 Table of Contents • If we choose to stop participating in some of these plans, we may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability Our participation in these plans is outlined in the following table. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2022 and 2021 relates to the plan years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The zone status is based on information that we have received from each plan, certified by an actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are between 65 percent and 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded.

Obligations and Funded Status of Defined-Benefit Pension Plans We sponsor the Tubelite Inc. Hourly Employees' Pension Plan, a defined-benefit pension plan that was frozen to new entrants in fiscal 2004, with no additional benefits accruing to plan participants after such time. We also sponsor an unfunded SERP, a defined-benefit pension plan that was frozen to new entrants in fiscal 2009, with no additional benefits accruing to plan participants after such time. 50 Table of Contents The following tables present reconciliations of the benefit obligation and the funded status of these plans. The Tubelite plan uses a measurement date as of the calendar month-end closest to our fiscal year-end, while the SERP uses a measurement date aligned with our fiscal year-end. (In thousands) 2022 2021 Change in projected benefit obligation Benefit obligation beginning of period $ 13,541 $ 14,371 Interest cost 339 346 Actuarial gain ( 475 ) ( 175 ) Benefits paid ( 1,000 ) ( 1,001 ) Benefit obligation at measurement date 12,405 13,541 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets beginning of period $ 5,551 $ 5,986 Actual return on plan assets ( 161 ) ( 88 ) Company contributions 654 654 Benefits paid ( 1,000 ) ( 1,001 ) Fair value of plan assets at measurement date 5,044 5,551 Underfunded status $ ( 7,361 ) $ ( 7,990 ) The funded status was recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: (In thousands) 2022 2021 Other non-current assets $ 361 $ 423 Current liabilities ( 681 ) ( 683 ) Other non-current liabilities ( 7,041 ) ( 7,730 ) Total $ ( 7,361 ) $ ( 7,990 ) The following was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and has not yet been recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost: (In thousands) 2022 2021 Net actuarial loss $ 4,916 $ 5,416 The net actuarial gain recognized in comprehensive earnings, net of tax expense, was $ 0.4 million in fiscal 2022, and $ 0.1 million in fiscal 2021. Components of the defined-benefit pension plans' net periodic benefit cost: (In thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Interest cost $ 339 $ 346 $ 492 Expected return on assets ( 85 ) ( 211 ) ( 182 ) Amortization of unrecognized net loss 270 260 219 Net periodic benefit cost $ 524 $ 395 $ 529 Total net periodic pension benefit cost is expected to be approximately $ 0.6 million in fiscal 2023. The estimated net actuarial gain for the defined-benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost for fiscal 2023 is $ 0.1 million, net of tax expense. 51 Table of Contents Additional Information Assumptions Benefit Obligation Weighted-Average Assumptions 2022 2021 2020 Discount rate 3.20 % 2.60 % 3.80 % Net Periodic Benefit Expense Weighted-Average Assumptions 2022 2021 2020 Discount rate 2.60 % 2.50 % 2.50 % Expected long-term rate of return on assets 2.50 % 4.50 % 4.50 % Discount rate. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the defined-benefit plans' pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year based on the measurement date. The discount rate was determined by matching the expected benefit payments to payments from the Principal Discount Yield Curve. There are no known or anticipated changes in the discount rate assumption that will have a significant impact on pension expense in fiscal 2023. Expected return on assets. To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets, we considered historical long-term rates of return achieved by the plan investments, the plan's investment strategy, and current and projected market conditions. During fiscal 2019, the assets of the Tubelite plan were moved from investment in a short-term bond fund to various duration fixed income funds. The investments are carried at fair value based on prices from recent trades of similar securities, which would be classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. We do not maintain assets intended for the future use of the SERP. Contributions Company contributions to the plans for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 were $ 0.7 million in each year, which equaled or exceeded the minimum funding requirements. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid by the plans: (In thousands) 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028-2032 Estimated future benefit payments $ 1,041 $ 993 $ 964 $ 936 $ 909 $ 4,041 10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Bond commitments In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Architectural Services and Architectural Framing Systems segments, we are required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for any non-performance. At February 26, 2022, $ 1.2 billion of these types of bonds were outstanding, of which, $ 352.5 million is on our backlog. These bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to make payments under surety or performance bonds with respect to our existing businesses. Warranty and project-related contingencies We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims, for product warranty and rework costs based on historical product liability claims as a ratio of sales. Claim costs are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual in any given period include the following: changes in manufacturing quality, changes in product mix and any significant changes in sales volume. A warranty rollforward follows: (In thousands) 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of period $ 14,999 $ 15,629 Additional accruals 10,138 5,758 Claims paid ( 11,214 ) ( 6,388 ) Balance at end of period $ 13,923 $ 14,999 Additionally, we are subject to project management and installation-related contingencies as a result of our fixed-price material supply and installation service contracts, primarily in our Architectural Services segment and certain of our Architectural Framing Systems businesses. We manage the risk of these exposures through contract negotiations, proactive project management and insurance coverages. The liability for these types of project-related contingencies was $ 0.1 million and $ 4.6 million as of February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, respectively. 52 Table of Contents Letters of credit At February 26, 2022, we had $ 16.4 million of ongoing letters of credit, all of which have been issued under our revolving credit facility, as discussed in Note 7. We also have a $6.9 million letter of credit which has been issued outside our committed revolving credit facility, with no impact on our borrowing capacity and debt covenants. Purchase obligations Purchase obligations, primarily for raw material commitments and capital expenditures totaled $ 209.2 million as of February 26, 2022. Environmental liability In fiscal 2008, we acquired one manufacturing facility which has certain historical environmental conditions. Remediation of these conditions is ongoing without significant disruption to our operations. The estimated remaining liability for these remediation activities was $ 0.5 million at February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, respectively. New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transactions As of year-end fiscal 2022, we have three outstanding NMTC arrangements which help to support operational expansion. Proceeds received from investors on these transactions are included within other current and non-current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The NMTC arrangements are subject to 100 percent tax credit recapture for a period of seven years from the date of each respective transaction. Upon the termination of each arrangement, these proceeds will be recognized in earnings in exchange for the transfer of tax credits. The direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring these arrangements have been deferred and are included in other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These costs will be recognized in conjunction with the recognition of the related proceeds on each arrangement. During the construction phase for each project, we are required to hold cash dedicated to fund each capital project which is classified as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets. Variable-interest entities, which have been included within our consolidated financial statements, have been created as a result of the structure of these transactions, as investors in the programs do not have a material interest in their underlying economics. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we settled one arrangement at the end of the seven year term and as a result, $7.4 million of operating income was recognized as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses within the Architectural Glass segment. The table below provides a summary of our outstanding NMTC transactions (in millions): Inception date Termination date Proceeds received Deferred costs Net benefit June 2016 June 2023 $ 6.0 $ 1.2 $ 4.8 August 2018 August 2025 6.6 1.4 5.2 September 2018 September 2025 3.2 1.0 2.2 Total $ 15.8 $ 3.6 $ 12.2 Litigation The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company is routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. We have in the past and are currently subject to product liability and warranty claims, including certain legal claims related to a commercial sealant product formerly incorporated into our products. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of areas such as employment practices, workers compensation and general liability matters. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of any such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no matters will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company. 11. Shareholders' Equity A class of 200,000 shares of junior preferred stock with a par value of $ 1.00 is authorized, but unissued. Share Repurchases During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, with subsequent increases in authorization. We repurchased 2,292,846 shares under the program during fiscal 2022, for a total cost of $ 100.0 million. We repurchased 1,177,704 shares under the program, for a total cost of $ 32.9 million, in fiscal 2021, and 686,997 shares under the program, for a total cost of $ 25.1 million, in fiscal 2020. The Company has repurchased a total of 9,425,462 shares, at a total cost of $ 307.3 53 Table of Contents million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 1,824,538 shares under this program, which has no expiration date. In addition to the shares repurchased under this repurchase plan, during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company also withheld $ 2.1 million, $ 3.0 million and $ 2.3 million, respectively, of Company stock from employees in order to satisfy stock-for-stock option exercises or tax obligations related to stock-based compensation, pursuant to terms of board and shareholder-approved compensation plans. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss The following summarizes the accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, at February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021: (In thousands) 2022 2021 Net unrealized (loss) gain on marketable securities $ ( 58 ) $ 302 Foreign currency hedge 2,717 643 Pension liability adjustments ( 3,770 ) ( 4,152 ) Foreign currency translation adjustments ( 25,129 ) ( 24,820 ) Total accumulated other comprehensive loss $ ( 26,240 ) $ ( 28,027 ) 12. Share-Based Compensation We have a 2019 Stock Incentive Plan and a 2019 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan (the Plans) that provide for the issuance of 1,150,000 and 150,000 shares, respectively, for various forms of stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors. We also have a 2009 Stock Incentive Plan and 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan with shares reserved for issuance for outstanding unvested awards. Awards under these Plans may be in the form of incentive stock options (to employees only), nonstatutory options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), or nonvested share awards and units, all of which are granted at a price or with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of award. No additional awards can be made under the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan or the 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan. Nonvested share awards and units generally vest over a two , three or four -year period. Total stock-based compensation expense was $ 6.3 million in fiscal 2022, $ 8.6 million in fiscal 2021 and $ 6.6 million in fiscal 2020. We account for any forfeitures as they occur. Stock Options and SARs In June 2020, we granted 660,600 stock options which had a weighted average fair value per option at the date of grant of $5.01. The fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial lattice option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2021. 2021 Dividend yield 3.3 % Expected volatility 40.0 % Risk-free interest rate 0.7 % Maximum price $ 35.70 The expected stock price volatility is based on historical experience. The risk-free rate for periods that coincide with the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury Department yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Stock option and SAR activity for the current fiscal year is summarized below: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value at Year-End Outstanding at February 27, 2021 633,700 $ 23.04 Awards exercised ( 178,564 ) 23.04 Awards canceled ( 84,336 ) 23.04 Outstanding at February 26, 2022 370,800 $ 23.04 8.3 years $ 4,694,328 Vested or expected to vest at February 26, 2022 370,800 $ 23.04 8.3 years $ 4,694,328 54 Table of Contents Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $ 4.1 million for fiscal 2022 and $ 1.5 million for fiscal 2021. The aggregate intrinsic value of securities exercised (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant) was $ 2.3 million in fiscal 2022 and $ 1.8 million in fiscal 2021. No awards were issued or exercised during fiscal 2020. Nonvested Share Awards and Units The following table summarizes nonvested share activity for fiscal February 26, 2022: Number of Shares and Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value February 27, 2021 475,227 $ 27.52 Granted 236,195 35.54 Vested ( 191,995 ) 30.44 Canceled ( 30,483 ) 29.06 February 26, 2022 488,944 $ 30.14 At February 26, 2022, there was $ 9.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share and nonvested share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 25 months. The total fair value of shares vested during fiscal February 26, 2022 was $ 7.2 million. 13.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021 were: (In thousands) 2022 2021 Deferred tax assets Accrued expenses $ 3,515 $ 6,309 Deferred compensation 8,602 9,452 Depreciation 509 — Employment tax accrual 1,546 1,483 Goodwill and other intangibles 13,237 4,215 Liability for unrecognized tax benefits 1,965 1,916 Unearned income 9,802 5,778 Operating lease liabilities 13,769 16,039 Net operating losses and tax credits 8,580 9,952 Other 2,931 1,984 Total deferred tax assets 64,456 57,128 Less: valuation allowance ( 15,370 ) ( 7,435 ) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 49,086 49,693 Deferred tax liabilities Accrued expenses 558 1,095 Goodwill and other intangibles 2,516 3,263 Depreciation 26,095 34,573 Operating lease, right-of-use assets 12,768 15,435 Other 3,015 820 Total deferred tax liabilities 44,952 55,186 Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ 4,134 $ ( 5,493 ) The Company has state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards with a tax effect of $ 8.6 million. A valuation allowance of $ 4.5 million has been established for these net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of the use of the tax benefits in future periods. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing Deferred Tax Assets ("DTAs"). This has resulted in valuation allowances being recorded 56 Table of Contents against DTAs in prior years in Brazil, Canada and various states. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, an additional valuation allowance of $ 11.5 million was recorded against Canadian DTAs to recognize only the portion of the DTA that is more likely than not to be realized. As of February 26, 2022, we have a full valuation allowance recorded against our Canadian DTAs. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was the cumulative losses incurred in Canada over the three-year period ended February 26, 2022, driven primarily by the impairments recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projections for future growth. The amount of the DTA considered realizable could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth or if the Company were to identify and implement a tax strategy to provide a future source of taxable income. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2019, or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2013. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2018, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions. The Company considers the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely invested outside of the United States on the basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs and specific plans for reinvestment of those subsidiary earnings. Should the Company decide to repatriate the foreign earnings, it would need to adjust the income tax provision in the period it was determined that the earnings will no longer be indefinitely invested outside the U.S. If we were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, $ 1.7 million, $ 2.2 million and $ 2.6 million for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, would benefit the effective tax rate. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. For fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, we accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits of $ 0.3 million. The following table provides a reconciliation of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits: (In thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 3,755 $ 4,071 $ 5,111 Gross increases in tax positions for prior years 108 106 82 Gross decreases in tax positions for prior years ( 145 ) ( 351 ) ( 1,100 ) Gross increases based on tax positions related to the current year 420 429 425 Settlements ( 147 ) ( 96 ) ( 15 ) Statute of limitations expiration ( 670 ) ( 404 ) ( 432 ) Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 3,321 $ 3,755 $ 4,071 On March 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act contains numerous income tax provisions, such as relaxing limitations on the deductibility of interest and the ability to carryback net operating losses arising in taxable years from 2018 through 2020. While these provisions did not impact the Company, a provision related to the temporary deferral of the employer share of payroll taxes allowed us to defer remittance of $13.6 million of payroll taxes in calendar 2020. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we repaid half of the deferred tax payments in the amount of $6.8 million, with the remaining amount of $6.8 million included within accrued payroll and other benefits on our consolidated balance sheets to be repaid in calendar year 2022. 14. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effects of stock options, SARs and nonvested shares. The following table presents a reconciliation of the share amounts used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: 57 Table of Contents (In thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Basic earnings per share - weighted average common shares outstanding 24,920 25,955 26,474 Weighted average effect of nonvested share grants and assumed exercise of stock options 372 349 255 Diluted earnings per share - weighted average common shares and potential common shares outstanding 25,292 26,304 26,729 Stock awards excluded from the calculation of earnings per share because the award price was greater than the average market price of the common shares 1 111 99 15.

Segment operating income is equal to net sales less cost of sales and operating expenses. Operating income does not include interest expense or a provision for income taxes. Architectural Framing Systems segment results include $ 49.5 million and $ 70.1 million of impairment charges and $ 1.7 million and $ 5.3 million of restructuring charges in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. Architectural Glass segment results include $ 27.1 million and $ 0.3 million of restructuring charges in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. Corporate and other includes miscellaneous corporate activity, including certain legal, consulting and advisory costs and certain employee benefit costs not allocable to our segments, as well as $ 1.7 million and $ 0.2 million of restructuring charges in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. Corporate and other also includes $ 16.7 million in fiscal 2020, of project-related charges on acquired contracts, as well as $ 15.0 million of insurance proceeds related to a project matter in fiscal 2020. Identifiable assets for Corporate and other include all short- and long-term available-for-sale securities.

Restructuring During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we announced plans to realign and simplify our business structure which resulted in the closure of two facilities within the Architectural Glass segment, in Dallas, Texas and Statesboro, Georgia. These closures were made in order to concentrate this segment on premium, high-performance products. Additionally, employee termination costs were incurred related to these facility closures, realignment of the Architectural Framing Systems segment, and within the Corporate office. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, as a result of the announced restructuring plan, we sold a building in Statesboro, Georgia within our Architectural Glass segment for $ 29.1 million. The carrying value of the building was $ 9.4 million, and we recognized a gain on this sale of approximately $ 19.5 million, net of associated transaction costs, which is included as a reduction of cost of sales within our consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended February 26, 2022, we incurred $ 30.5 million of pre-tax costs associated with the execution of these restructuring plans, of which $ 28.2 million is included within cost of sales and $ 2.3 million is included within selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding the gain on sale mentioned above, within our consolidated statements of operations. 59 Table of Contents For the year ended February 27, 2021, we closed seven facilities within our Architectural Framing Systems segment, exited certain leases for those facilities, and provided certain termination benefits to employees across the Company, resulting in restructuring-related costs of $ 5.8 million, of which $ 5.2 million is included within cost of sales and $ 0.6 million is included within selling, general and administrative expenses within our consolidated statements of operations.
