Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Bond commitments In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in our Architectural Services Segment, we are required to provide surety or performance bonds that commit payments to our customers for non-performance against our contracts. At August 30, 2025, $1.2 billion of these types of bonds were outstanding, of which $293.7 million is in our backlog. These bonds have expiration dates that align with the completion of these contracts. We have never been required to make payments under surety or performance bonds with respect to our existing businesses. Warranty and project-related contingencies We reserve estimated exposures on known claims, as well as on a portion of anticipated claims, for product warranty and rework cost, based on historical product liability claims as a ratio of sales. Claim costs are deducted from the accrual when paid. Factors that could have an impact on these accruals in any given period include changes in manufacturing quality, changes in product mix, and any significant changes in sales volume.

Additionally, we are subject to project management and installation-related contingencies as a result of our fixed-price material supply and installation service contracts, primarily in our Architectural Services Segment and in certain parts of our Architectural Metals Segment. We manage the risk of these exposures through contract negotiations, proactive project management and insurance coverages. Letters of credit At August 30, 2025, we had $2.6 million of ongoing letters of credit as discussed in Note 5. Purchase obligations Purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures totaled $15.5 million as of August 30, 2025. New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transactions At August 30, 2025, we had one outstanding NMTC arrangement to support operational expansion. Proceeds received from investors on this transaction are included within other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The NMTC arrangement is subject to 100 percent tax credit recapture for a period of seven years from the date of transaction. Upon the termination, proceeds will be recognized in earnings in exchange for the transfer of tax credits. The direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring this arrangement have been deferred and are included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. These costs will be recognized in conjunction with the recognition of the related proceeds. During the construction phase or for working capital purposes, we are required to hold cash dedicated to fund the project, which is classified as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the structure of this transaction, a variable-interest entity was created. As the other investors in this program do not have a material interest in the entity's underlying economics, we include 100% of the results of the variable-interest entity in our consolidated financial statements. During the second quarter ended August 30, 2025, one NMTC transaction was settled as expected and, as a result, a $4.6 million benefit was recorded in other (income) expense, net. We expect the last outstanding NMTC transaction to be settled during the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The table below provides a summary of estimated benefits related to our outstanding NMTC transaction (in thousands):
Inception date |  | Termination date |  | Deferred benefit |  | Deferred costs |  | Net benefit
September 2018 |  | September 2025 |  | $ | 3,198 |  |  | $ | 1,031 |  |  | $ | 2,167 |
Litigation The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply and services industry, the Company is routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. We have in the past and are currently subject to product liability and warranty claims, including certain legal claims related to a commercial sealant product formerly incorporated into our products. In December 2022, the claimant in an arbitration of one such claim was awarded $20.0 million by an arbitration panel. The claimant then sought to confirm this award in Los Angeles Superior Court in March 2023. In response, the Company moved to vacate the award. Later in March 2023, the Superior Court confirmed the award, which the Company appealed in June 2023. The appeal was argued before the California Court of Appeals, Second Appellate District, Division Seven, on March 7, 2025. The California Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment of the Superior Court on March 25, 2025, and the Company paid the final arbitration award, including accrued post-judgment interest, in the amount of $24.7 million, on April 7, 2025. As a result of the judgment, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we recorded expense of $9.4 million, which represented the impact of the award amount net of existing reserves and insurance proceeds of $11.0 million. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of areas such as employment practices, workers compensation and general liability matters. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of any such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no matters will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company.
