Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Gibraltar Industries, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have 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 December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 22, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
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 Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition on Contracts
Description of the Matter During the year ended December 31, 2022, the amount of revenue recognized over time was $555 million. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s revenue on contracts is accounted for based on the cost-to-cost input measure of progress, whereby the extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation.
Auditing management’s estimates to complete for certain components is especially subjective due to significant judgment required in estimating the remaining costs to complete. Factors inherent in the estimation process include direct labor hours, direct material costs, and other direct costs. Due to uncertainties attributed to such factors, a significant change in an estimate on one or more contracts could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls that address the risks of material misstatement relating to the measurement and valuation of the Company’s review of estimated costs to complete, including the determination of the underlying significant assumptions and the completeness and accuracy of the open contracts reviewed. For example, we tested controls over management’s quarterly review of the cost estimates, monthly review of open contracts and completed contracts, and review over the cost estimates used to develop initial cost estimates on projects.
To test the amount of revenue recognized from contracts, our audit procedures included, among others, assessing whether the performance obligations identified were appropriately recognized on an over time basis through inspection of the contract and inquiry from program management regarding the nature and scope of work and testing the completeness and accuracy of the data underlying the determination of the amount of revenue recognized in the current period. To assess the over time revenue recognition, we tested that the actual costs incurred on the project are complete and accurate through agreement to supporting evidence. Our testing of the assumptions included a combination of confirmation of contract terms, billings, and project status directly with customers, inquiries of the program management and financial personnel, inspection of evidence to support future estimated costs, performance of an analysis of actual gross margin on completed contracts compared to prior estimates, evaluation of subsequent year-end expenses incurred on projects, and assessment of the historical accuracy of management’s estimates by analyzing changes in project gross margins during project lifecycles and determining if those changes were driven by cost factors that should have been known or could have been reasonably estimated at project inception.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gibraltar Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to uncertainty in the current economic environment.
Segment Reporting
The Company has four reportable segments: Renewables, Residential, Agtech and Infrastructure. In 2021, the Company's former Renewable Energy and Conservation segment was divided into two segments, Renewables and Agtech. For further disclosure regarding the Company's reportable segments, refer to Note 20 "Segment Information."
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when, or as, the Company transfers control of promised products or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services.
Performance obligations satisfied at a point in time and significant judgments
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the Company transfers control of the promised product at a point in time, which is determined when the customer has legal title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and the Company has a present right to payment for the product. The Company allocates the transaction price, which is generally the quoted price per terms of the contract and the consideration the Company expects to receive, to each performance obligation. These products are generally sold with rights of return and these contracts may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. Sales returns, allowances, and customer incentives, including rebates, are treated as reductions to the sales transaction price and based largely on an assessment of all information (i.e., historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company, and estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available.
Performance obligations satisfied over time and significant judgments
For a contract to construct an asset that the customer controls as it is being created or enhanced, or a promise to provide a product that has no alternative use to the Company and the Company has enforceable rights to payment, the Company recognizes revenue over time. For the contracts to construct a certain asset, the Company determines that the customer controls the asset while it is being constructed. For the contracts for products that have no alternative use and for which the Company has an enforceable right to payment, the Company identifies these products as products that are not a standard inventory item or the Company cannot readily direct the product to another customer for use without incurring a significant economic loss, or significant costs to rework the product.
The Company determines the transaction price for each contract based on the consideration the Company expects to receive for the promised products and services under the entire contract, which is generally the stated contract price based on an expected cost plus a margin.
For the above contracts with customers with respect to which the Company satisfies a performance obligation over time, the Company recognizes revenue based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation using the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recognized proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill a contract include all direct costs related to contract performance. Selling and administrative expenses are
42
Table of Co n tents
charged to operations as incurred. Provision for loss on an uncompleted performance obligation is recognized in the period in which such loss is determined.
The Company regularly reviews the progress under the cost-to-cost method and any adjustments are recognized as necessary. Changes in estimates are recognized as they become known using the cumulative catch-up basis.
The Company also recognizes revenues from services contracts over time. The Company recognizes revenue over time during the term of the agreement as the customer is simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits provided throughout the Company's performance. Therefore, due to control transferring over time, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the contract period.
Contract assets and contract liabilities
Contract assets primarily represents revenue recognized for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which amounts receivable have not been billed. These are included as current assets and included within accounts receivable on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities include payments received from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations for a contract. The Company does not consider contract advances to be significant financing components as the intent of these payments in advance are for reasons other than providing a significant financing benefit and are customary in the Company's industry. Unearned revenue relates to payments received in advance of performance under the contract and is recognized when the Company performs under the contract. Unearned revenue is presented within accrued expenses in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Costs to obtain a contract with a customer
The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. If the amortization period of the asset is one year or less, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred. These incremental costs include, but are not limited to, sales commissions incurred to obtain a contract with a customer.
Cash and cash equivalents
All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts and contract assets
Accounts receivable are composed of trade and contract receivables recorded at either the invoiced amount or costs in excess of billings, are expected to be collected within one year, and do not bear interest.
The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable and costs in excess of billings (collectively "accounts receivable") is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers' accounts receivables. The Company is exposed to credit losses through sales of products and services. Due to the short-term nature of such accounts receivable, the estimated amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that no longer share risk characteristics similar with other accounts receivable. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be u ncollectible after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Estimates are used to determine the allowance. These estimates are based on assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available.

The following table summarizes activity recorded within the allowance for doubtful accounts and contract assets balances for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):
2022 2021 2020

Ending balance $ 3,746 $ 3,738 $ 3,529
Concentrations of credit risk in accounts receivable are limited to those from significant customers that are believed to be financially sound. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company's most significant customer is a home improvement retailer. The home improvement retailer purchases from the Residential segment. Accounts receivable as a percentage of consolidated accounts receivable from the home improvement retailer was 14 % as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Net sales to the home improvement retailer as a percentage of consolidated net sales were 14 %, 13 %, and 14 % during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. Shipping and handling costs are recognized as a component of cost of sales.
Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Interest is capitalized in connection with construction of qualified assets. Expenditures that exceed an established dollar threshold and that extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized, while repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives of land improvements, buildings, and building improvements are 15 to 40 years, while the estimated useful lives for machinery and equipment are 3 to 20 years.
The table below sets forth the depreciation expense recognized during the years ended December 31 (in thousands):
2022 2021 2020
Depreciation expense $ 14,583 $ 13,110 $ 11,252
Acquisition related assets and liabilities
Accounting for the acquisition of a business as a purchase transaction requires an allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the transaction at their respective estimated fair values. The most complex estimations of individual fair values are those involving long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets. The Company uses all available information to make these fair value determinations and engages independent valuation specialists to assist in the fair value determination of the acquired long-lived assets.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis at October 31, or more frequently if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit could be below its carrying value. The reporting units are at the component level, or one level below the operating segment level. Goodwill is assigned to each reporting unit as of the date the reporting unit is acquired.
The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment that considers economic, industry and company-specific factors for some or all of the Company's selected reporting units. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company proceeds to a quantitative test. The Company may also elect to perform a quantitative test instead of a qualitative test for any or all of the Company's reporting units.
The quantitative impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, determined using two valuation techniques, to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is

considered impaired, and a loss measured by the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the reporting unit must be recorded.
The Company also tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of October 31, or more frequently if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that indicate that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset could be below its carrying value. The impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset, determined using discounted cash flows on a relief-from-royalty basis, with its carrying amount. An impairment loss would be recognized for the carrying amount in excess of its fair value. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost. Identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. For additional disclosure of the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets refer to Note 7 "Goodwill and Related Intangible Assets."
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including acquired identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. In specific situations, when the Company has selected individual assets to be sold or scrapped, the Company obtains market value data for those specific assets and measures and records the impairment loss based on such data. Otherwise, the Company uses undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measures any impairment loss by approximating fair value using acceptable valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and third-party appraisals. For additional disclosure on impairment of the Company's long-lived assets refer to Note 7 "Goodwill and Related Intangible Assets," Note 14 "Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" and Note 15 "Exit Activity Costs and Asset Impairments."
Leases
The Company determines if an agreement is, or contains, a lease at the inception of the agreement. At lease commencement, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability 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 the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company combines lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance costs, in calculating the related asset and lease liabilities for all underlying asset groups. Operating lease cost is included in income from operations and includes short-term leases and variable lease costs which are immaterial.
Deferred charges
Deferred charges associated with initial costs incurred to enter into new debt arrangements are included as a component of long-term debt and are amortized as a part of interest expense over the terms of the associated debt agreements.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, advertising and marketing costs were $ 10.9 million, $ 8.0 million, and $ 7.2 million, respectively.
Foreign currency transactions and translation
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period.
Income taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred income taxes represent the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when uncertainty exists regarding their realization.

Equity-based compensation
The Company measures the cost of equity-based compensation based on grant date fair value and recognizes the cost over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award reduced by forfeitures. Equity-based compensation consists of grants of stock options, deferred stock units, common stock, restricted stock units, and performance stock units. Equity-based compensation expense is included as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Sales includes revenue from contracts with customers for designing, engineering, manufacturing and installation of solar racking systems; electrical balance of systems; roof and foundation ventilation products; centralized mail systems and electronic package solutions; retractable awnings; gutter guards; rain dispersion products; trims and flashings and other accessories; designing, engineering, manufacturing and installation of greenhouses; structural bearings; expansion joints; pavement sealant; elastomeric concrete; and bridge cable protection systems.
Refer to Note 20 "Segment Information" for additional information related to revenue recognized by timing of transfer of control by reportable segment.
Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within a range from 30 to 60 days, or in certain cases, up front deposits. In circumstances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that the Company's contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from sales.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company's remaining performance obligations are part of contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no assets recognized related to incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as the benefits of these costs are not expected to exceed one year .
Contract assets consist of costs in excess of billings presented within accounts receivable in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of cost, classified as current liabilities, and unearned revenue, presented within accrued expenses, in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The decreases in costs in excess of billings and billings in excess of cost as of December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, respectively, were primarily due to decline in volume in the Renewables and Agtech segments in 2022 compared to 2021. The increase in costs in excess of billings as of December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 was primarily due to the timing of the Company's right to invoice customers for performance satisfied by the Company for significant contracts in the Renewables and Agtech segments near the end of 2021.

Goodwill is recognized net of accumulated impairment losses of $ 133.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. No goodwill impairment charges were recognized by the Company during 2022 or 2021.
Annual and Interim Impairment Testing
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of October 31 and at interim dates when indicators of impairment are present. In 2022, 2021 and 2020, no indicators of impairment were identified as of interim dates; therefore, no interim tests were performed.
During the October 31, 2022 impairment test, the Company conducted a quantitative analysis for all eight of the Company’s reporting units. The quantitative impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value including goodwill. The fair value of each reporting unit evaluated under the quantitative test was determined using two valuation techniques: an income approach and a market approach. Each valuation approach relies on significant assumptions including a weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") based upon the capital structure of market participants in the Company’s peer groups, projected revenue growth, forecasted cash flows, and earnings multiples based on the market value of the Company and market participants within its peer groups.
As a result of the Company's annual testing for 2022, 2021 and 2020, none of the reporting units with goodwill as of the testing date had carrying values in excess of their fair values.

Annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of:
Medical costs before age 65 ( 1)
7.8 % 7.0 % 7.0 %
Medical costs after age 65 ( 1)
4.5 % 4.5 % 4.5 %
Prescription drug costs ( 1)
7.8 % 7.0 % 7.0 %
(1) For 2022, it was assumed that these rates would gradually decline to 4.0 % by 2075. For 2021 and 2020, it was assumed that these rates would gradually decline to 3.8 % by 2075.
(2) Actuarial losses are amortized utilizing the corridor approach. Differences between actual experience and the actuarial assumptions are reflected in (gain)/loss. If the total net (gain) or loss exceeds 10 percent of the greater of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or plan assets, this excess must be amortized over the average remaining service period of the active plan participants. If most of the plan participants are inactive, the amortization period is the expected future lifetime of inactive plan participants.

The realized adjustments relating to the Company’s minimum post retirement health care costs were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and included in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
(12) EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company awards equity-based compensation to employees and directors, which is recognized in the statements of operations based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company uses the straight-line method for recording compensation expense over a vesting period generally up to four years with either graded or cliff vesting. Stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of equity-based awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period reduced by the expense on unvested awards forfeited during the period.
On May 4, 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated 2016 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("Non-Employee Directors Plan") which increases the total number of shares for issuance by the Company thereunder from 100,000 shares to 200,000 shares, allows the Company to grant awards of shares of the Company's common stock to current non-employee Directors of the Company, and permits the Directors to defer receipt of such shares pursuant to the terms of the Non-Employee Directors Plan.
On May 4, 2018, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan"). The 2018 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock and supplements the remaining shares available for issuance under the existing Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"). The Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan") was amended in 2015 to terminate issuance of further awards from the Prior Plan. Both the 2018 Plan and the 2015 Plan allow the Company to grant equity-based incentive compensation awards, in the form of non-qualified options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance stock units, and stock rights to eligible participants.
57
Table of Co n tents
At December 31, 2022, approximately 326,000 and 80,000 shares were available for issuance under the 2018 Plan and 2015 Plan, respectively, as incentive stock options or other stock awards, and approximately 101,000 shares were available for issuance under the Non-Employee Directors Plan as awards of shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company recognized the following compensation expense in connection with awards that vested under the 2018 Plan, the 2015 Plan, the Prior Plan, and the Non-Employee Directors Plan along with the related tax benefits recognized during the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

(1) The Company’s performance stock units (“PSUs”) represent shares granted for which the final number of shares earned depends on financial performance or market conditions. The number of shares to be issued may vary between 0 % and 200 % of the number of PSUs granted depending on the relative achievement to targeted thresholds. The Company's PSUs with a financial performance condition are based on either the Company’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) over a one-year period performance period or other criteria such as revenue, gross profit, and operating profit thresholds over a three-year performance period. The Company's PSUs with a market condition are based on the ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance, on a percentile basis, over a three-year performance period compared to the S&P Small Cap Industrial sector, over the same three-year performance period.
Stock Options
No options were granted during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company determines the fair value of stock options granted based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant, and the expected stock volatility is based on volatility of the Company’s stock price using a historical period commensurate with the expected life of the options.

Table of Co n tents
The fair value of the common stock, restricted stock units, and deferred stock units, as well as the performance stock units with a financial performance condition granted during the three years ended December 31, 2022 was based on the Company stock price at grant date of the award. The fair value of the performance stock units with a market condition granted during the three years ended December 31, 2022 were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation as of the grant date of the award. The Company granted performance units with a market condition during 2020; however, no such awards were granted in 2022 and 2021.
The following table sets forth the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised and aggregate fair value of restricted stock units and restricted shares that vested during the years ended December 31 (in thousands):
2022 2021 2020

As of December 31, 2022, there was $ 9.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted and performance stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.
Equity Based Awards - Settled in Cash
Management Stock Purchase Plan
The Company's equity-based awards that are settled in cash are the awards under the Management Stock Purchase Plan (the "MSPP") which is authorized under the Company's equity incentive plans. The MSPP provides participants the ability to defer a portion of their compensation, convertible to unrestricted investments, restricted stock units, or a combination of both, or defer a portion of their directors’ fees, convertible to restricted stock units. Employees eligible to defer a portion of their compensation also receive a company-matching award in restricted stock units equal to a percentage of their deferred compensation.
The deferrals and related company match are credited to an account that represents a share-based liability. The portion of the account deferred to unrestricted investments is measured at fair market value of the unrestricted investments, and the portion of the account deferred to restricted stock units and company-matching restricted stock units is measured at a 200-day average of the Company stock price. The account will be converted to and settled in cash payable to participants upon retirement or a termination of their service to the Company.
Total MSPP liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 were $ 15.4 million, of which $ 2.3 million was included in current accrued expenses and $ 13.1 million was included in non-current liabilities. Total MSPP liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 were $ 22.6 million, of which $ 2.9 million was included in current accrued expenses and $ 19.7 million was included in non-current liabilities. The value of the restricted stock units within the MSPP liability were $ 13.4 million and $ 20.7 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The following table provides the number of restricted stock units credited to active participant accounts, balance of vested and unvested restricted stock units within active participant accounts, payments made with respect to restricted stock units issued under the MSPP, and MSPP expense during years ended December 31:

(13) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
• Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and did not have any financial instruments for which carrying value differed from its fair value at December 31, 2022 and 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 91.0 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility under its Credit Agreement. The Company determined the carrying value of the outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the variable market interest rate terms of the credit facility. The Company had $ 24.5 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2021.
The Company’s other financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying values for these financial instruments approximate fair value. The Company did not have any other material assets or liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Other non-recurring fair value measurements
The Company recorded impairment of property, plant and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2020, and recognized impairment charges related to certain intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company uses unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3 inputs, in determining the fair value of these assets. See Note 7 "Goodwill and Related Intangible Assets," Note 14 "Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" and Note 15 "Exit Activity Costs and Asset Impairments" for more disclosure regarding the impairment of certain intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment, respectively.
The Company also applied fair value principles for the goodwill impairment tests performed during 2022, 2021, and 2020. The Company used two valuation models to estimate the fair values of its reporting units, both of which primarily use Level 3 inputs. See Note 7 "Goodwill and Related Intangible Assets" of the consolidated financial statements for the results of the Company’s goodwill impairment tests.
Additionally, the Company's recent acquisition activity, as described in Note 6 "Acquisitions," used Level 3 inputs to estimate fair values allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
(14) HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Held for Sale
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company committed to a plan to sell its Processing business (the "disposal group") which is a business within the Company's Agtech reportable segment. The planned sale does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. As a result, the Company will continue reporting the operating results of the disposal group in the Company's consolidated operating results from continuing operations until the sale of the business is completed.
The Company classifies assets and related liabilities as held for sale when: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, (ii) the net assets are available for immediate sale, (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer and (iv) the sale and transfer of the net assets is probable within one year. Assets and liabilities held for sale are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses on the Company's consolidated balance sheets with a valuation allowance to recognize the net carrying amount at the lower of cost or fair value, less costs to sell.

Effective with the classification of the disposal group as held for sale, depreciation of property, plant, and equipment and amortization of finite-lived intangible assets and right-of-use assets are not recorded while these assets are classified as held for sale. As a result of the Company's evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale relative to an estimated sales price, adjusted for costs to sell, a valuation allowance of $ 14.0 million was recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and has been presented within other expense (income) in the consolidated statements of operations. The recoverability of the disposal group will be evaluated each reporting period until the sale of the business is completed.
Discontinued Operations
On February 23, 2021, the Company sold the stock of its Industrial business which had been classified as held for sale and reported as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Net proceeds of $ 38 million, consisting of cash and a $ 13 million seller note, resulted in an estimated pre-tax loss of $ 30 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments, of which $ 29.6 million was recorded when the assets of the Industrial business were written down to fair market value during the fourth quarter of 2020. The seller note was paid in full to the Company during the second quarter of 2021.
The results of operations of the Industrial business have been presented as a discontinued operation in the Company's consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The Company allocates interest to its discontinued operations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations.” Interest was allocated based on the amount of net assets held by the discontinued operation in comparison to consolidated net assets.

On June 30, 2020, the Company sold its self-guided apartment tour application business to a third party from its Residential segment. The $ 2.0 million net proceeds from the sale resulted in pre-tax net gain of $ 1.9 million and has been presented within other expense (income) in the consolidated statements of operations. This divestiture did not meet the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation nor did it have a major effect on the Company's operations.
(15) EXIT ACTIVITY COSTS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
The Company has incurred exit activity costs and asset impairment charges as a result of its 80/20 simplification and portfolio management initiatives. These initiatives have resulted in the identification of low-volume, low margin, internally-produced products which have been or will be outsourced or discontinued, the simplification of processes, in the sale and exiting of less profitable businesses or products lines, and the reduction in the Company's manufacturing footprint.
Exit activity costs were incurred during 2022 related to moving and closing costs, severance and contract terminations, along with asset impairment charges related to the write-down of inventory and impairment of machinery and equipment associated with discontinued product lines, as a result of process simplification initiatives. In conjunction with these initiatives, in 2022, the Company exited a facility, relocating to a new one, and separately, closed two other facilities. In 2021, the Company closed four facilities. In 2020, the Company closed two facilities and, separately, sold a facility closed in 2017. These closures resulted in exit activity costs and asset impairment charges.
The following table sets forth the exit activity costs (recoveries) and asset impairment charges incurred by segment during the years ended December 31 related to the restructuring activities described above (in thousands):

(16) INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had total net operating loss carry forwards of $ 7.9 million, which included $ 0.4 million for federal, $ 6.6 million for state, and $ 0.9 million for foreign income tax purposes. The federal and state net operating loss carry forwards expire between 2023 and 2042. The foreign net operating loss carry forwards expire between 2023 and 2031. The Company recognized a total of $ 0.7 million of deferred tax assets, net of the federal tax benefit, related to these net operating losses prior to any valuation allowances, which included $ 0.1 million of federal and $ 0.4 million of state deferred tax assets and $ 0.2 million of foreign deferred tax assets.
As a result of the sale of the Industrial business during 2021, the Company generated a capital loss of $ 113.7 million for federal and state purposes to the extent allowable under state tax regulations. Amended Federal returns were filed to carry back $ 3.7 million of capital loss. As of December 31, 2022, the remaining capital loss carry forward is $ 110.0 million. The capital loss carryforward will expire in 2026. The Company recognized a total of $ 26.5 million of deferred tax assets, net of the federal benefit, related to this carryforward prior to any valuation allowances, which included $ 22.2 million of federal and $ 4.3 million of state deferred tax assets. The Company has a full valuation allowance on the capital loss carry forward and as a result there is no deferred tax asset.
Deferred taxes include net deferred tax assets relating to certain state and foreign tax jurisdictions. A reduction of the carrying amount of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance is required if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. In 2020, the valuation allowance in China was reversed and a tax attribute valuation allowance was also reversed as the Company expects to utilize the attribute. In 2021, a valuation allowance was recorded on federal and state capital loss carry forwards which are not expected to be utilized before expiration.
The following sets forth a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the Company’s valuation allowance (in thousands):
2022 2021 2020

Payments made for income taxes, net $ 27,017 $ 22,076 $ 21,351
At December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $ 2.2 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company continues to maintain its assertion that all remaining foreign earnings will be indefinitely reinvested. Any excess earnings could be used to grow the Company's foreign operations through launches of new capital projects or additional acquisitions. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability related to the Company's remaining unremitted foreign earnings is not practicable due to the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.
In 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and no activity related to such benefits has occurred in any of the years presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company classifies accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recognized during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 or 2020.
The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file a U.S. federal consolidated income tax return. Foreign and U.S. state jurisdictions have statute of limitations generally ranging from four to ten years . The Company is currently in appeals for an audit of tax years 2016 through 2019 in Massachusetts and believes the technical merits of the position will be sustained.

(17) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as well as dilutive common shares which include shares issuable pursuant to equity based incentive compensation awards under the equity compensation plans described in Note 12 "Equity-Based Compensation" of the consolidated financial statements.
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings were as follows for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):
2022 2021 2020
Numerator:
Income from continuing operations $ 82,406 $ 74,516 $ 83,291
Income (loss) from discontinued operations — 1,113 ( 18,725 )
Net income available to common shareholders $ 82,406 $ 75,629 $ 64,566
Denominator for basic earnings per share:
Weighted average shares outstanding 32,096 32,873 32,664
Denominator for diluted earnings per share:
Common stock options and stock units 96 181 254
Weighted average shares and conversions 32,192 33,054 32,918
The weighted average number of diluted shares does not include potential anti-dilutive common shares issuable pursuant to equity based incentive compensation awards. The treasury stock method is used to calculate dilutive shares, which reduces the gross number of dilutive shares by the number of shares purchasable from the proceeds of the options assumed to be exercised and the unrecognized expense related to the options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, and performance stock units assumed to have vested.
The following table provides the potential anti-dilutive common stock options and stock units for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

The Company uses the its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date of a lease in determining the present value of lease payments as the rates implicit in most of the Company's leases are not readily determinable.
(19) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to certain claims and legal actions generally incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any claims, or other claims which are not clearly determinable at the present time, would result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

(20) SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company is organized into four reportable segments on the basis of the production processes, products and services provided by each segment, identified as follows:
(i) Renewables, which primarily includes designing, engineering, manufacturing and installation of solar racking and electrical balance of systems;
(ii) Residential, which primarily includes roof and foundation ventilation products, centralized mail systems and electronic package solutions, retractable awnings and gutter guards, and rain dispersion products, trims and flashings and other accessories;
(iii) Agtech, which provides growing solutions including the designing, engineering, manufacturing and installation of greenhouses; and
(iv) Infrastructure, which primarily includes structural bearings, expansion joints and pavement sealant for bridges, airport runways and roadways, elastomeric concrete, and bridge cable protection systems.
When determining the reportable segments, the Company aggregated operating segments based on their similar economic and operating characteristics. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company reassessed its reportable segments. As a result, the Company's former Renewable Energy and Conservation segment was divided into two reportable segments: Renewables and Agtech.
