Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]  
Inventories Inventories
The Company’s inventories consist almost entirely of finished goods inventory, with a very limited amount of work-in-process inventory. The cost of all inventories is determined by the moving average cost method. The Company included all material charges directly incurred in bringing inventory to its existing condition and location, including the cost of inbound freight, volume incentives, inventory adjustments, tariffs, duties and other import fees. The Company evaluates its inventory value at the end of each quarter to ensure that inventory, when viewed by category, is carried at the lower-of-cost-and-net-realizable-value (“LCNRV”), which also considers items that may be considered damaged, excess, and obsolete inventory.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded a write-down of $2.4 million to reflect the LCNRV for certain inventory related to its structural products. The $2.4 million write-down was due to declines in wood-based commodity prices. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, substantially all of the inventory covered by this $2.4 million LCNRV write-down was sold, thereby resulting in lower Costs of products sold by that same amount in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. This adjustment increased gross margin percentage for structural products in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 by 1.0 percent.

Substantially all of the amount reported in Cost of products sold on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations is composed of costs incurred to purchase inventory that is subsequently resold to customers, including costs related to import duties and tariffs. Import duties and tariffs are not typically passed through to customers as separately billed charges. Certain import duties are classified by the U.S. Department of Commerce (the “Commerce Department”) as “antidumping or countervailing duties,” and these duties may be subject to periodic review and adjustments by the Commerce Department through a process known as a trade remedy administrative review, which can result in both retroactive and prospective adjustments to duty rates. At the time of importation, the Company tenders antidumping duty and countervailing duty cash deposits (as use of that term has been defined by the Commerce Department) to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) and accounts for duties and tariffs based on the then-current rates in effect, and records any retroactive adjustments in the period in which U.S. Customs determines final duty rates at the time entries subject to antidumping and countervailing duties liquidate (as use of that term has been defined by the Commerce Department), typically through the resolution of a trade remedy administrative review proceeding. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, the Company recognized refunds of $3.8 million and $20.7 million, respectively, plus interest of $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, related to retroactive adjustments associated with certain antidumping duties for imported wood moulding and millwork products. The antidumping duty cash deposits were originally paid and accounted for by the Company in prior reporting periods at the then-current rates. Impacted inventories have since been sold. These adjustment amounts are reflected in Cost of products sold and Interest expense, net, respectively, on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024. See Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, for disclosure concerning another matter related to import duties.
