Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Investments in 50% or less owned entities are accounted for using either cost or the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation under GAAP.
Interim Reporting Period
The accompanying unaudited quarterly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting interim financial information and instructions on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).
The unaudited quarterly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial information set forth therein in accordance with GAAP. Certain prior period amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data provided herein were derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Form 10-K, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The Company’s quarterly results fluctuate. As a result, the Company believes the results of operations for this interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.
Revenue Recognition
Generally, the Company's revenue contract with a customer exists when (1) the goods are shipped, services are rendered, and the related invoice is generated, (2) the duration of the contract does not extend beyond the promised goods or services already transferred and (3) the transaction price of each distinct promised product or service specified in the invoice is based on its relative stated standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer at a point in time. Our shipping terms provide the primary indicator of the transfer of control. The Company's general shipping terms are Incoterm C.P.T. (F.O.B. shipping point), where the title, and risk and rewards of ownership transfer at the point when the products are no longer on the Company's premises. Other Incoterms are allowed as exceptions depending on the product or service being sold and the nature of the sale. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the invoice with a customer, excluding any sales incentives, discounts, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties (i.e., governmental tax authorities). Based on historical experience with the customer, the customer's purchasing pattern, and its significant experience selling products, the Company concluded that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty (if any) is resolved (that is, when the total amount of purchases is known). Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Net Income Per Common Share
The Company calculates net income per common share based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are included in the diluted per-share calculations using the treasury stock method for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.
Accounting for Leases
The Company has operating and finance leases for certain facilities, equipment, autos and data centers. As an accounting policy for short-term leases, the Company elected to not recognize a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and liability if, at the commencement date, the lease (1) has a term of 12 months or less and (2) does not include renewal and purchase options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Monthly payments on short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the full lease term.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to the estimated fair value of restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting term of three or four years. Stock-based expense related to performance share grants are measured based on grant date fair value and expensed on a graded basis over the service period of the awards, which is generally a performance period of three years. The performance conditions are based on the Company's achievement of revenue growth and return on invested capital over the performance period, and are evaluated for the probability of vesting at the end of each reporting period with changes in expected results recognized as an adjustment to expense. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of restricted stock grants are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company’s experience.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified under a three-tier fair valuation hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available in the market: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the Company's interest rate and foreign currency contracts are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the Company’s contingent consideration related to acquisitions and equity investments are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, as these amounts are based on unobserved inputs such as management estimates and entity-specific assumptions and are evaluated on an ongoing basis.

The following tables summarize financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2023 and 2022:

| 2023 |  | 2022
(in millions) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |  | Level 1 | Level 2
Cash equivalents (1) | $ | 120.5 |  | $ | — |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 32.6 |  | — |
Term loan due 2027 (2) | — |  | 427.5 |  | — |  |  | — |  | 450.0 |
Revolver due 2027 (2) | — |  | 150.0 |  | — |  |  | — |  | 250.0 |

Contingent considerations | — |  | — |  | 6.5 |  |  | — |  | — |

1) The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, representing government and other money market funds traded in an active market with relatively short maturities, are reported on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 and 2022 as a component of "Cash and cash equivalents".
(2) The carrying amounts of the term loan and revolver approximate fair value as of March 31, 2023 based upon the terms and conditions as disclosed in Note 12 in comparison to debt instruments with similar terms and conditions available on the same date.
(3) Derivatives for interest rate, foreign exchange and forward swap contracts are discussed in Note 8.
Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. Foreign currency and interest rate risk are the primary market risks the Company manages through the use of derivative instruments, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges or net investment hedges under the accounting standards and carried at fair value as other current or noncurrent assets or as other current or other long-term liabilities. Assets and liabilities with the legal right of offset are not offset. Net deferred gains and losses related to changes in fair value of cash flow hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss ("OCI"), a component of stockholders' equity, and are reclassified into the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statement Of Earnings And Comprehensive Income in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged item affects earnings. The effective portion of gains and losses attributable to net investment hedges is recorded net of tax to OCI to offset the change in the carrying value of the net investment being hedged. Recognition in earnings of amounts previously recorded to OCI are limited to circumstances such as complete or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the hedged foreign operation. Changes in fair value of any derivatives that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from OCI into earnings.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company classifies investments that are highly liquid and have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the values of these investments were $120.5 million and $32.6 million, respectively, consisting of United States Treasury securities and money market funds. The value of the investments is based on cost, which approximates fair value based on Level 1 inputs.
Current Estimated Credit Loss - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated future expected credit losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments on its accounts receivable. The Company determines the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable by considering several factors, including (1) specific information on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of customers, (2) credit rating, (3) payment history and historical experience, (4) aging of the accounts receivable, and (5) reasonable and supportable forecasts about collectability. The Company also reserves 100% of the amounts deemed uncollectible due to a customer's deteriorating financial condition or bankruptcy.
Every quarter, the Company evaluates the customer group using the accounts receivable aging report and its best judgment when considering changes in customers' credit ratings, level of delinquency, customers' historical payments and loss experience, current market and economic conditions, and expectations of future market and economic conditions.
The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are outlined in the table below:
10

| Balance at |  |  | Balance at
(in thousands) | December 31, 2022 | Expense (Deductions), net | Write-Offs 1 | March 31, 2023
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | $ | 3,240 |  | 635 |  | (85) |  | $ | 3,960 |

1 Amount is net of recoveries and the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are calculated using an asset and liability approach. The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign taxes currently payable and deferred taxes, due to temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences of the deferred income tax items and immediately recognizes changes in income tax laws in the year of enactment.
The Company uses an estimated annual tax rate to measure the tax benefit or tax expense recognized in each interim period.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
We believe that all recently issued accounting pronouncements from the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") do not apply to us or will not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company disaggregates net sales into the following major product groups as described in its segment information included in these interim financial statements under Note 14.
Wood Construction Products Revenue. Wood construction products represented approximately 85% and 88% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Concrete Construction Products Revenue. Concrete construction products represented approximately 14% and 12% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.
Customer Acceptance Criteria. Generally, there are no customer acceptance criteria included in the Company's standard sales agreement with customers. When an arrangement with the customer does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a revenue contract under the standard, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount of nonrefundable consideration received when the Company has transferred control of the goods or services and has stopped transferring (and has no obligation to transfer) additional goods or services. The Company offers certain customers discounts for paying invoices ahead of the due date, which are generally 30 to 60 days after the issue date.
Other Revenue. Service sales, representing after-market repair and maintenance, engineering activities and software license sales and services were less than 1% of net sales and recognized as the services are completed or by transferring control over a product to a customer at a point in time. Services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. The typical contract length for a service is generally less than one year. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual services separately when they are distinct within the context of the contract. A distinct service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate services in a bundle based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the services.
Reconciliation of contract balances
Contract assets are the rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities are recorded for any services billed to customers and not yet recognizable if the contract period has commenced or for the amount collected from customers in advance of the contract period commencing. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no contract assets or contract liabilities from contracts with customers.
3. Acquisition
On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition (the "Acquisition") of 100% of the outstanding equity interest of FIXCO Invest S.A.S. (together with its subsidiaries, "ETANCO") for total purchase consideration of $805.4 million, net of cash acquired. The Acquisition was completed pursuant to the securities purchase agreement dated January 26, 2022, as amended, by and among the Company, Fastco Investment, Fastco Financing, LRLUX and certain other security holders.

Purchase price allocation
The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805") which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date with limited exceptions.
The allocation of the $824.4 million purchase price, including cash, to the estimated fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

(in thousands) |  |  | Amount
Cash and cash equivalents |  |  | $ | 19,010 |
Trade accounts receivable, net |  |  | 63,607 |
Inventory |  |  | 107,185 |

Operating lease liabilities |  |  | 5,176 |
Deferred income tax and other long-term liabilities |  |  | 117,031 |
Total purchase price |  |  | $ | 824,405 |

Trade accounts receivable, net
The gross amount of trade receivables acquired was approximately $67.4 million, of which $63.6 million was estimated to be recoverable based on ETANCO's historical trend for collections.
Inventory
Acquired inventory primarily consists of raw materials and finished goods consisting of building and construction materials products. The Company adjusted acquired finished goods higher by $14.3 million to estimated fair value based on expected selling prices less a reasonable amount for selling efforts. The fair value adjustment was fully recognized as a component of cost of sales over the inventory’s estimated turnover period during the nine months ended December 31, 2022.
Property and equipment, net
Acquired property and equipment includes land of $16.1 million, buildings and site improvements of $32.5 million, and machinery, equipment, and software of $41.1 million. The estimated fair value of property and equipment was determined primarily using market and/or or cost approach methodologies. The acquired fair value for buildings and site improvements depreciate on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets for a period of up to sixteen years, machinery, equipment and software will depreciate on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life of three to ten years. Depreciation expense associated with the acquired property and equipment amounted to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Goodwill
The excess of purchase price over the net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and relates to the value that is expected from the acquired assembled workforce as well as the increased scale and synergies resulting from the integration of both businesses. The goodwill recognized from the Acquisition is not deductible for local income tax purposes. Goodwill has been allocated to components within the ETANCO reporting unit.
Intangible assets, net
The estimated fair value of intangible assets acquired was determined primarily using income approach methodologies. The values allocated to intangible assets and the useful lives were as follows:

(in thousands, except useful lives) |  |  | Weighted-average useful life (in years) | Amount
Customer relationships |  |  | 15 | $ | 248,398 |
Trade names |  |  | Indefinite | 93,811 |
Developed technology |  |  | 10 | 11,256 |
Patents |  |  | 8 | 3,862 |
|  |  |  | $ | 357,327 |

The acquired definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives, which approximates the pattern in which these assets are utilized. The Company recognized $4.4 million of amortization expense on these assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Deferred taxes
As a result of the increase in fair value of inventory, property and equipment, and intangible assets, deferred tax liabilities of $105.9 million were recognized, primarily due to intangible assets.
Acquisition and integration related costs
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred integration related expenses of $1.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred acquisition related costs of $7.0 million for investment banking, legal, accounting, advisory, and consulting fees.

5. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company allocates stock-based compensation expense amongst cost of sales, research and development and other engineering expense, selling expense, or general and administrative expense based on the job functions performed by the employees to whom the stock-based compensation is awarded. Stock-based compensation capitalized in inventory was immaterial for all periods presented. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to its equity plans for employees of $4.6 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The RSUs and PSUs granted to the Company's employees may be time-based or time and performance-based. Certain of the PSUs are granted to officers and key employees, where the number of performance-based awards to be issued is based on the achievement of certain Company performance criteria established in the award agreement over a cumulative three year period, after which time these awards cliff vest. In addition, these same officers and key employees also receive time-based RSUs, which vest pursuant to a three-year graded vesting schedule. Time-based RSUs that are granted to the Company's employees excluding officers and certain key employees, vest ratably over the four year vesting-term of the award.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company's aggregate unamortized stock compensation expense was approximately $32.2 million which is expected to be recognized in expense over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

Together, all of its credit facilities provide the Company with a total of $305.7 million in available borrowing capacity and an irrevocable standby letter of credit in support of various insurance deductibles.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
The Company’s policy with regard to environmental liabilities is to accrue for future environmental assessments and remediation costs when information becomes available that indicates that it is probable that the Company is liable for any related claims and assessments and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Litigation and Potential Claims
From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business. Corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, cracking, material hardness, wood pressure-treating chemicals, misinstallations, misuse, design and assembly flaws, manufacturing defects, labeling defects, product formula defects, inaccurate chemical mixes, adulteration, environmental conditions, or other factors can contribute to failure of fasteners, connectors, anchors, adhesives, specialty chemicals, such as fiber reinforced polymers, and tool products. In addition, inaccuracies may occur in product information, descriptions and instructions found in catalogs, packaging, data sheets, and the Company’s website.
The resolution of any claim or litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
14. Segment Information
The Company is organized into three reporting segments defined by the regions where the Company’s products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to its customers. The three reporting segments are the North America segment (comprised primarily of the Company’s operations in the U.S. and Canada), the Europe segment, which includes ETANCO, and the Asia/Pacific segment (comprised of the Company’s operations in Asia and the South Pacific, These segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials used, the production processes, the distribution channels and the product applications.
The Administrative & All Other line item primarily includes expenses such as self-insured workers compensation claims for employees, stock-based compensation for certain members of management, interest expense, foreign exchange gains or losses and income tax expense, as well as revenues and expenses related to real estate activities.

Overview
We design, manufacture and sell building construction products that are of high quality and performance, easy to use and cost-effective for customers. We operate in three business segments determined by geographic region: North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific.
Recent Developments
In 2021, we unveiled several key growth initiatives that we believe will help us continue our track record of achieving above market revenue growth through a combination of organic and inorganic opportunities. Our organic opportunities are focused on expanding the markets for wood and concrete structural connections and solutions. These key growth initiatives will focus on the OEM, repair and remodel or do-it-yourself, mass timber, concrete and structural steel markets.
In order to grow in these markets, we aspire to be among the leaders in engineered load-rated construction building products and systems and building technology while leveraging our engineering expertise, deep-rooted relationships with top builders, engineers, contractors, code officials and distributors, along with our ongoing commitment to testing, research and innovation. Importantly, we currently have existing products, testing results, distribution and manufacturing capabilities for our key growth initiatives. Although these initiatives are all currently in different stages of development, our successful growth in these areas will ultimately be a function of expanding our sales and/or marketing functions to promote our products to different end users and distribution channels, expanding our customer base, and potentially introducing new products in the future.
We also highlighted our five-year ambitions in 2021, which are as follows:
•Strengthen our values-based culture;
•Be the business partner of choice;
•Strive to be an innovative leader in the markets we operate;
•Continue above market growth relative to the United States housing starts;
•Remain within the top quartile of our proxy peers for operating income margin; and
•Remain in the top quartile of our proxy peers for return on invested capital.
We have made progress towards our key growth initiatives that were first announced in 2021. Select highlights that include both organic and inorganic growth from 2022 and 2023 were:
•Acquiring ETANCO which has resulted in additional scale for our European operations and was accretive to earnings in the first quarter of 2023;
•Increasing our number of commercial market customers as well as launching new structural steel products;
•Growing across all OEM customer types, while continuing to develop the market for mass timber:
•Expanding our wood product line by acquiring intellectual property;
•Continuing to invest in venture capital funds and other companies focused on the home building industry and related new technologies; and
•As part of our Partner of Choice initiative, we anticipate completing our path-to-market customer transition by the end of this year.
As we make progress on our key growth initiatives, we believe we can continue our above market growth relative to U.S. housing starts in fiscal 2023 and beyond. These examples further emulate our Founder, Barclay Simpson’s, nine principles of doing business, and more specifically the focus and obsession on customers and users.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations depends in large part on the level of United States housing starts and residential construction activity. Though single-family housing starts increased in prior years, we have seen demand decline recently due to supply-chain factors, unfavorable economic conditions, including rising interest rates, inflation, and recession fears, resulting in lower new home starts and completions. However, the Company also supplies product used in multifamily housing construction, which increased in the first quarter of 2023 compared to last year. During 2021, we passed four price increases to our customers to offset significantly higher material costs arising from supply constraints. During the first quarter of 2023, we gave back some of the increase in product prices in response to marginally lower raw material costs, while a tight labor market and unusually wet winter in the western region of the United States could further negatively affect operating margins for 2023 as compared to 2022.
26

Unlike lumber or other products that have a more direct correlation to United States housing starts, our products are used to a greater extent in areas that are subject to natural forces, such as seismic or wind events. Our products are generally used in a sequential progression that follows the construction process. Residential and commercial construction begins with the foundation, followed by the wall and the roof systems, and then the installation of our products, which flow into a project or a house according to these schedules.
In prior years, our sales were heavily seasonal with operating results varying from quarter to quarter depending on weather conditions that could delay construction starts. Our sales and income have historically been lower in the first and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters of a fiscal year. Due to efforts in diversifying our global footprint, most notably with our acquisition of ETANCO, sales from our product line, customer base and customer purchases are becoming less seasonal. Political and economic events such as rising energy costs, volatility in the steel market, stressed product transportation systems and increasing interest rates can also have an effect on our gross and operating profits as well. Changes in raw material cost could impact the amount of inventory on-hand, and negatively affect our gross profit and operating margins depending on the timing of raw material purchases or how much sales prices can be increased to offset higher raw material costs.
Business Segment Information
Historically our North America segment has generated more revenues from wood construction products compared to concrete construction products. Our wood construction product sales decreased 9.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022, mostly due to lower sales volumes, and our concrete construction product sales increased 6.3% over the same periods, due to product price increases in an effort to offset rising raw material costs, partly offset by lower volumes. Previously announced decreases for pricing on certain of our wood products for 2023 will likely negatively affect 2023 net sales compared to 2022. We currently anticipate compression of our operating margin for fiscal 2023 compared to 2022 due to the effects of our product price decreases and increases in operating expenses, partly offset by lower average priced steel in cost of sales relative to much of the prior year.
During 2022, we reviewed the footprint for our U.S. operations with assistance from a third party. As a result, we identified opportunities to expand our facilities in the U.S. We believe that this expansion will improve our overall service, production efficiencies and safety in the workplace, as well as reduce our reliance on certain outsourced finished goods and component products and continue to ensure we have ample capacity to meet our customer needs. These investments reinforce our core business model differentiators to remain the partner of choice as we continue to produce products locally and ensure superior levels of customer service. Facility investments have already started in 2022 with the announced expansion of the Columbus facility, expected to be completed in 2024 while additional facility expansions are being considered.
Europe sales increased 141.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022, primarily due to the acquisition of ETANCO, which contributed $80.0 million in net sales, along with product price increases, offset by lower volumes and the negative effect of approximately $2.8 million in foreign currency translation due to a weakening United States dollar. Wood construction product sales increased 129.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022 with ETANCO contributing $64.8 million to that increase. Concrete construction product sales are mostly project based, and sales increased 215.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022 with ETANCO contributing $15.2 million. Europe gross profit of $46.6 million included $30.6 million from the acquisition of ETANCO. Europe reported income from operations of $14.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to a loss from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. ETANCO contributed operating income of $9.4 million for the current quarter, which was net of $4.2 million of amortization expense on acquired intangible assets and acquisition and integration costs were lower by $5.5 million. We expect to incur additional costs in 2023 as originally planned, to continue integrating ETANCO. The Company has begun to benefit from some of the previously identified synergies and we believe remains well positioned to benefit meaningfully from other synergies, subject to changing macroeconomic circumstances, which will delay some of the synergy opportunities.
Our Asia/Pacific segment has generated revenues from both wood and concrete construction products, which we believe is not significant to our overall performance.
Business Outlook
The Company has updated its financial outlook for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 based on one quarter of performance to reflect its latest expectations regarding demand trends, raw material costs and operating expense as of April 24, 2023 as follows:
27

•Operating margin is now estimated to be in the range of 19% to 21%.
•Annual interest expense on the $577.5 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility as of March 31, 2023, is expected to be approximately $9.7 million, including the benefit from interest rate and cross currency swaps.
•The effective tax rate is estimated to be in the range of 25% to 26%, including both federal and state income tax rates and assuming no tax law changes are enacted.
•Capital expenditures are estimated to be in the range of $90.0 million to $95.0 million, including the expected spend of $22.0 million to $25.0 million on our previously announced Columbus, Ohio facility expansion, with the balance of that project to be spent in 2024.
•The Company has made solid progress on its efforts to integrate ETANCO into its operations and to realize previously identified offensive and defensive synergies in the years ahead. However, these efforts will continue to result in additional costs in 2023 that have been planned since the Company announced the transaction.

Net sales increased 8.3% to $534.4 million from $493.6 million primarily due to ETANCO which contributed $80.0 million in net sales, offset by lower sale volumes in North America. Wood construction product sales, including sales of connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and shearwalls, represented 85% and 88% of the Company's total sales in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Concrete construction product sales, including sales of adhesives, chemicals, mechanical anchors, powder actuated tools and reinforcing fiber materials, represented 14% and 12% of the Company's total sales in the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Gross profit increased 6.8% to $252.9 million from $236.8 million primarily due to $30.6 million of gross profit from ETANCO at a 38.3% gross margin which resulted in a consolidated gross margin of 47.3% compared to 48.0% last year without ETANCO. From a product perspective, gross margin decreased to 47.1% from 48.1% for wood construction products and increased to 47.1% from 46.9% for concrete construction products, respectively.
Research and development and engineering expense increased 30.8% to $20.7 million from $15.9 million, primarily due to increases of $2.8 million in personnel costs, $0.5 million in professional services, $0.3 million in travel related costs, $0.3 million in depreciation and amortization and $0.2 million for cash profit sharing.
Selling expense increased 32.1% to $48.7 million from $36.8 million, primarily due to increases of $7.0 million in personnel costs and commissions, $1.7 million in travel related costs, $1.1 million in professional fees, and $0.8 million in advertising and trade shows, offset by a decrease of $0.6 million for cash profit sharing.
General and administrative expense increased 18.5% to $63.7 million from $53.8 million, primarily due to increases of $5.3 million in depreciation and amortization, $3.0 million in personnel costs, $1.1 million for bad debt expenses, $1.1 million in computer and software expenses net of amounts capitalized, and $0.8 million in travel related costs, offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in cash profit sharing and $0.8 million in professional and legal fees.
Acquisition and integration costs related to ETANCO were $5.5 million lower.

•Net sales decreased 7.4%, primarily due to lower volumes.
•Gross margin increased to 50.6% from 49.7%, primarily from lower raw material costs, partially offset by higher factory and tooling, warehouse and freight costs, as a percentage of net sales.
•Research, development and engineering expenses increased 27.8%, primarily due to increases of $1.5 million in personnel costs, $0.5 million in professional fees, $0.3 million in travel related costs, $0.2 million depreciation and amortization and $0.2 million for cash profit sharing.
•Selling expense increased 12.8%, primarily due to increases of $2.0 million in personnel costs and commissions, $1.1 million in travel related costs, $1.0 million in professional fees, $0.5 million in advertising and trade show costs, and $0.2 million in stock compensation, offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in cash profit sharing.
•General and administrative expense increased 2.4%, primarily due to increases of $0.8 million in personnel cost, $0.8 million bad debt expense, $0.9 million in computer and software expense net of amounts capitalized, $0.5 million in travel rated costs, and $0.4 million in stock compensation, offset by decreases of 1.1 million in professional fees and $0.9 million for cash profit sharing.
•Income from operations decreased by $21.3 million due to the factors discussed above.
Europe
•Net sales increased 141.4%, primarily due to ETANCO, which contributed $80.0 million in net sales, partly offset by lower volumes and the negative effect of approximately $2.8 million in foreign currency translation.
•Gross margin increased to 37.5% from 33.9%. Europe gross profit of $46.6 million included $30.6 million from ETANCO which contributed 38.3% gross margin.
•Income from operations increased by $14.8 million, which includes ETANCO's operating income of $9.4 million which is net of $4.2 million of amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, and $1.4 million in integration costs.

See "Note 1 Basis of Presentation — Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted ” to the accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
We have historically met our capital needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and, when necessary, borrowings under our credit agreements. Our principal uses of capital include the costs and expenses associated with our operations, including financing working capital requirements and continuing our capital allocation strategy, which includes supporting capital expenditures, paying cash dividends, repurchasing the Company's common stock, and financing other investment opportunities.
On March 30, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to finance a portion of its acquisition of ETANCO, which provides for a 5-year revolving credit facility of $450.0 million, and for a 5-year term loan facility of $450.0 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had borrowings of $150.0 million under the revolving credit facility and $427.5 million under the term loan facility, and has $300.0 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility. We believe that our cash position and cash flows from operating activities are sufficient to meet our cash flow needs for
31

the foreseeable future, including repayments of amounts of outstanding debt under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents consisted of deposits and money market funds held with established national financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents of $62.5 million are held in the local currencies of our foreign operations and could be subject to additional taxation if repatriated to the United States. The Company is maintaining a permanent reinvestment assertion on its foreign earnings relative to remaining cash held outside the United States.
The following table shows selected financial information as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively:

|  | As of March 31, |  | As of December 31, |  | As of March 31,
(in thousands) |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2022
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 252,541 |  |  | $ | 300,742 |  |  | $ | 984,372 |
Property, plant and equipment, net |  | 369,089 |  |  | 361,555 |  |  | 265,675 |
Goodwill, intangible assets and other |  | 880,845 |  |  | 863,841 |  |  | 169,474 |
Working capital excluding cash and cash equivalents |  | 639,334 |  |  | 529,945 |  |  | 496,659 |

The following table provides information on how cash was used or provided during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Net cash provided by (used in): |  |  |  |
Operating activities |  | $ | 2,958 |  |  | $ | 44,679 |
Investing activities |  | (27,043) |  |  | (17,081) |
Financing activities |  | (23,817) |  |  | 650,600 |

Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from our earnings before non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, and are also affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities which consist primarily of working capital balances. Our revenues are derived from manufacturing and sales of building construction materials. Our operating cash flows are subject to seasonality and are cyclically associated with the volume and timing of construction project starts. For example, trade accounts receivable are generally lowest at the end of the fourth quarter and increases during the first, second and third quarters as construction activity ramps in markets we serve.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, operating activities provided $3.0 million in cash, as a result of $88.0 million from net income plus $25.1 million non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation. This amount was partly offset by $110.1 million used for the net change in operating assets and liabilities, including increases of $70.0 million in trade accounts receivable and $16.9 million in inventory, as well as by a decrease of $13.2 million in other current liabilities.
Cash used in investing activities of $27.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was mainly for capital expenditures and acquisition related activities. Our capital spending for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was $18.8 million and $17.8 million, respectively, which was primarily used for machinery and equipment purchases and software in development. Based on current information and subject to future events and circumstances, total approved capital spending for 2023 will be in the $90.0 million to $95.0 million range including the expected spend of $22.0 million to $25.0 million on our previously announced Columbus, Ohio facility expansion, with the balance of that project to be spent in 2024. Other capital spending is earmarked for both maintenance and growth to maximize efficiencies and invest in our key initiatives. Our acquisition activities were primarily in support of the building technology services and acquiring intellectual property.
Cash used in financing activities of $23.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted primarily of $11.1 million used to pay dividends to our stockholders, $7.4 million used to pay income taxes on behalf of employees for shares withheld with respect to their vested restricted stock units and $5.6 million used for debt repayment.

On April 26, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per share payable on July 27, 2023, to the Company's stockholders of record on July 6, 2023.
Since the beginning of 2019 to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we have returned $417.0 million to stockholders, which represents 55.5% of our free cash flow and includes repurchasing over 3.1 million shares of the Company's common stock, which represents approximately 6.8% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock at the start of 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2023.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We have operations both within the United States and internationally, and are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We have foreign exchange rate risk in our international operations, and through purchases from foreign vendors. Changes in the values of currencies of foreign countries affect our financial position, income statement and cash flows when translated into U.S. Dollars. We estimate that if the exchange rate were to change by 10% in any one country where we have our operations, the change in net income would not be material to our operations taken as a whole.
We may manage our exposure to transactional exposures by entering into foreign currency forward contracts for forecasted transactions and projected cash flows for foreign currencies in future periods. In 2021 and 2022, we entered into financial contracts at various times to hedge the risk of fluctuations associated with the Euro and the Chinese Yuan during 2022 and 2023.
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary exposure to interest rate risk results from outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which bears interest at variable rates. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding debt under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement subject to interest rate fluctuations was $577.5 million. The variable interest rates on the Credit Agreement fluctuate and expose us to short-term changes in market interest rates as our interest obligation on this instrument is based on prevailing market interest rates. Interest rates fluctuate as a result of many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.
We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the variable interest rate on the balances outstanding under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to fixed interest rates. The objective of the interest rate swap agreement is to eliminate the variability of the interest payment cash flows associated with the variable interest rate outstanding under the borrowings. We designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Refer to Note 8, "Derivatives and Hedging Instruments", for further information on our interest rate swap contracts in effect as of March 31, 2023.
Commodity Price Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk related to our purchase of steel, a significant raw material upon which our manufacturing depends. Steel cost increased in 2021 when compared to 2020 and historical levels due to the worldwide raw material shortage stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. While steel is typically available from numerous suppliers, the price of steel is a commodity subject to fluctuations that apply across broad spectrums of the steel market. We do not use any derivative or hedging instruments to manage steel price risk. If the price of steel increases, our variable costs would also increase. While historically we have successfully mitigated these increased costs through the implementation of price increases, in the future we may not be able to successfully mitigate these costs, which could cause our operating margins to decline. As noted above, higher steel prices not mitigated by price increases will result in further declines in operating margins for the full year of 2023 compared to operating margins for the full year of 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
33

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2023, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the chief executive officer the (“CEO”) and the chief financial officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed reasonably to assure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed reasonably to assure that this information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, does not, however, expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all fraud and material errors. Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the facts that there are resource constraints and that the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. The inherent limitations in internal control over financial reporting include the realities that judgments can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls also can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of internal control is also based in part on assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be only reasonable, not absolute assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential events and conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business. Corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, cracking, material hardness, wood pressure-treating chemicals, misinstallations, misuse, design and assembly flaws, manufacturing defects, labeling defects, product formula defects, inaccurate chemical mixes, adulteration, environmental conditions, or other factors can contribute to failure of fasteners, connectors, anchors, adhesives, specialty chemicals, such as fiber reinforced polymers, and tool products. In addition, inaccuracies may occur in product information, descriptions and instructions found in catalogs, packaging, data sheets, and the Company’s website.
The Company currently is not a party to any legal proceedings which the Company expects individually or in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Nonetheless, the resolution of any claim or litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and we could in the future, incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of the various legal proceedings and other matters we are currently involved in, which could materially impact our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. See “Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies” to the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for certain potential third-party claims.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to our risk factors reported or new risk factors identified since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
