• Strong second-quarter performance: Revenue rose 9.2% to $391.1 million, adjusted EPS increased more than 19% to $1.17, and adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 12.7%. Results benefited from pricing, productivity, Fortify Phase 2 savings, favorable mix, and Kalwall’s contribution.
• Fiscal 2027 guidance was raised: Apogee now expects revenue of $1.46 billion to $1.50 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $3.00 to $3.40. Management expects third- and fourth-quarter sales and EPS to be relatively balanced.
• Services and Performance Surfaces continued to gain momentum: Services delivered its 10th consecutive quarter of sales growth, with backlog up 5% year over year to $833 million, while Performance Surfaces revenue increased more than 14%. Metals margins also expanded on pricing, productivity, and cost savings.
• Glass remains exposed to weak end-market demand: Organic volume declined amid project delays and fewer jobs, while the segment’s adjusted EBITDA margin fell year over year to 14.9%, despite a significant sequential improvement. Management cited ongoing pressure from lower volume, manufacturing and freight costs, and unfavorable pricing.
• Acquisition activity is expanding the portfolio but adding execution demands: Apogee expects Kalwall to deliver approximately $85 million of first-year revenue at a 15% EBITDA margin and Groglass to contribute about $30 million at a 25% margin. Leverage was 1.7 times after the acquisitions, although management said it expects cash generation to reduce leverage and will remain selective on further M&A.
