3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The statement indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. SFAS 157 defines fair value based upon an exit price model.
Relative to SFAS 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) 157-1 and 157-2. FSP 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” (SFAS 13) and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.
We adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which we have not applied the provisions of SFAS 157 include those measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing, indefinite lived intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment testing and those initially measured at fair value in a business combination. The impact of adopting SFAS 157 was not significant.
SFAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. 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. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at 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.
The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008 (in thousands):
                 
  Asset (Liability) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Interest rate swap
  (4,010)     (4,010)   
Interest rate swaps are over the counter securities with no quoted readily available Level 1 inputs, and therefore are measured at fair value using inputs that are directly observable in active markets and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, using the income approach.
4. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
The Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Equity Incentive Plan”) is an incentive compensation plan that allows the Company to grant equity-based incentive compensation awards to eligible participants to provide them an additional incentive to promote the business of the Company, to increase their proprietary interest in the success of the Company and to encourage them to remain in the Company’s employ. Awards under the plan may be in the form of options, restricted shares, restricted units, performance shares, performance units and rights. The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,250,000 shares of common stock. Of the total number of shares of common stock issuable under the plan, the aggregate number of shares that may be issued in connection with grants of restricted stock or restricted units cannot exceed 1,350,000 shares, and the aggregate number of shares which may be issued in connection with grants of incentive stock options and rights cannot exceed 900,000 shares.

Table of Contents

Vesting terms and award life are governed by the award document.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued 141,351 restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $14.90 per unit, and granted 113,300 non-qualified stock options with a weighted average grant date fair value of $3.95 per option. There were no issuances of restricted stock units or options during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The Management Stock Purchase Plan (“MSPP”) an integral component of the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, provides participants the ability to defer up to 50% of their annual bonus under the Management Incentive Compensation Plan. The deferral is converted to restricted stock units and credited to an account together with a match equal to the deferral amount. The account is converted to cash at the current value of the Company’s stock and payable to the participants upon a termination of their employment with the Company. The matching portion is payable only if the participant has reached their sixtieth birthday. If a participant terminates prior to age 60, the match is forfeited. Upon termination, the account is converted to a cash account that accrues interest at 2% over the then current 10 year U. S. Treasury note. The account is then paid out in five equal annual cash installments.
The fair value of restricted stock units held in the MSPP equals the trailing 200 day closing price of our common stock as of the last day of the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 42,703 and 65,576 restricted stock units, respectively, were credited to participant accounts. At March 31, 2008, the value of the restricted stock units in the MSPP was $16.34 per share.

As part of the purchase agreement with the former owners of Home Impressions, the Company is required to pay additional consideration through May 2009 based upon the operating results of Home Impressions. The Company paid $170,000 and $57,000 of such additional consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These payments were recorded as additional goodwill.
On March 9, 2007 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Dramex Corporation (“Dramex”). Dramex has locations in Ohio, Canada and England and manufactures, markets and distributes a diverse line of expanded metal products used in the commercial and industrial sectors of the building products market. The acquisition of Dramex strengthens the Company’s position in the expanded metal market and provides additional exposure for both Dramex’s products and certain products currently manufactured by the Company. The results of Dramex (included in the Company’s Building Products segment) are included in the Company’s consolidated financial results from the date of acquisition. The acquisition of Dramex is not considered significant to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisition of Dramex was $22,677,000 in cash and acquisition costs. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon respective fair values. The identifiable intangible assets consisted of a trademark with a value of $1,795,000 (indefinite useful life), a trademark with a value of $111,000 (5 year estimated useful life) and customer relationships with a value of $1,828,000 (10 year estimated useful life). The excess consideration over fair value was recorded as goodwill and aggregated approximately $11,514,000, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The allocation of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):
     
Working capital

On April 10, 2007 the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Noll Manufacturing Company, and its affiliates (Noll) with locations in California, Oregon and Washington. The assets the Company acquired from Noll are used to manufacture, market and distribute products for the building, HVAC, and lawn and garden components of the building products market. The acquisition of Noll will serve to strengthen our manufacturing, marketing and distribution capabilities and is expected to provide manufacturing and distribution synergies with our existing businesses. The results of Noll (included in the Company’s Building Products segment) have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results from the date of acquisition. The acquisition of Noll is not considered significant to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
The aggregate purchase consideration was approximately $63,726,000 in cash and direct acquisition costs. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon respective fair values. The valuation resulted in negative goodwill of $9,491,000 which has been allocated to property, plant and equipment and intangibles on a pro rata basis. After giving effect to the allocation of the negative goodwill, the identifiable intangible assets consisted of patents with a value of $57,000 (8 year estimated useful life), customer relationships with a value of $2,679,000 (15 year estimated useful life), non-compete agreements valued at $726,000 (5 year estimated useful life) and trademarks with a value of $3,490,000 (indefinite useful life).

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As part of its continuing evaluation of its businesses during 2007, the Company determined that both its bath cabinet manufacturing and steel service center businesses no longer provided a strategic fit with its long-term growth and operational objectives. On August 1, 2007, the Company sold certain assets of its bath cabinet manufacturing business, and committed to a plan to sell the remaining assets of the business. On September 27, 2007, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of the assets of its steel service center business. We expect to complete the liquidation of the remaining assets of the steel service center business and the bath cabinet manufacturing business during 2008.

The steel service center business was previously included in the processed metal products segment and the bath cabinet manufacturing business was previously reported in the building products segment.
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), the results of operations for the bath cabinet manufacturing and steel service center businesses have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
The Company allocates interest to its discontinued operations in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force item 87-24, Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations. Interest expense of $396,000 was allocated to discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2007. No interest was allocated to discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

9. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as well as dilutive potential common shares which, in the Company’s case, comprise shares issuable under its equity compensation plans. 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 restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards assumed to have vested. Income from discontinued operations per share is rounded for presentation purposes to allow net income per share to foot.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as of March 31:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain information set forth herein contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the Company’s business, and management’s beliefs about future operating results and financial position. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Statements by the Company, other than historical information, constitute “forward looking statements” as defined within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations, are inherently uncertain, are subject to risks and should be viewed with caution. Actual results and experience may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could affect these statements include, but are not limited to, the following: the impact of changing steel prices on the Company’s results of operations; changes in raw material pricing and availability; changing demand for the Company’s products and services; and changes in interest or tax rates. In addition, such forward-looking statements could also be affected by general industry and market conditions, as well as general economic and political conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation.
Gibraltar is a leading manufacturer, processor and distributor of products for the building, industrial and vehicular markets which include ventilation products, mailboxes, bar grating, expanded metal and cold-rolled strip steel. Our full year 2007 net sales and income from continuing operations were $1,312 million and $31.1 million, respectively.
Our business strategy is to focus on manufacturing high value-added products within niche markets where we can capture market leading positions. Our strategy includes organic initiatives which are complemented by strategic acquisitions that strengthen product and end market leadership. Gibraltar reports in two business segments: Building Products and Processed Metal Products.
Our Building Products segment is focused on expanding market share in the residential markets; further penetrating domestic and international commercial and industrial markets; participating as a buyer in our industry consolidation; and improving its operational productivity and efficiency through both operational excellence and facility consolidation.
Our Processed Metal Products segment is focused on increased penetration with transplant auto manufacturers; expanding international market opportunities; and serving the global shift toward automatic transmissions which require more components. This segment is also striving to increase its operational productivity and efficiency.
We have deployed new capital in completing 31 strategic acquisitions over the past 13 years. In 2007, we completed three acquisitions that are now part of our Building Products segment with combined annualized revenues of $160 million and higher operating margins than our historic businesses.
In our continual evaluation of our businesses’ performance, we also evaluate each business’ current and expected performance, with an expectation that every business contribute to Gibraltar’s growth in sales, operating margins and cash flow. In 2007, we determined that two businesses would not be strong contributors Gibraltar’s long term financial success and, therefore, divested a steel service center and bath cabinet manufacturing businesses.
In the first quarter 2008, we continued to face slowdowns in two of the key end markets we serve, automotive and residential new home construction, that affected both of our segments. Further, many of our businesses also are managing increased costs from steel suppliers while working with customers in order to achieve a better margin alignment for Gibraltar.

Given these factors, our historicbusinesses collectively had lower sales and operating income compared to the first quarter 2007, which were offset in the first quarter 2008 by the benefits of the 2007 acquisitions and savings from facility consolidations completed in 2007.
The following table sets forth the Company’s net sales by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands):
                     
                
          Total  Change due to 
  2008  2007  Change  Acquisitions  Operations 
Net sales
                    
Building Products
 $229,323  $205,138  $24,185  $37,465  $(13,280)
Processed Metal Products
  96,225   99,200   (2,975)     (2,975)
 
               
Total consolidated net sales
 $325,548  $304,338  $21,210  $37,465  $(16,255)
 
               
Net sales increased by $21.2 million, or 7% to $325.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The 2007 acquisitions of Dramex, Noll and Florence provided incremental sales of $37.5 million, or 12%, in the first quarter of 2008. Sales at our other historic businesses, decreased $16.3 million, or 5%.
Net sales in our Building Products segment increased by $24.2 million, or 12%, to $229.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from net sales of $205.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Excluding the $37.5 million in incremental net sales provided by 2007 acquisitions of Dramex, Noll and Florence, the decrease in net sales was $13.3 million, or 7% from the same period in the prior year, a result of decreased volumes due to the slowdown in the residential housing market.
Net sales in our Processed Metal Products segment decreased by $3.0 million, or 3%, to $96.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from net sales of $99.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in net sales was primarily a function of volume reductions due to the decline in domestic automotive production.
Gross margin increased to 17.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from 17.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase in gross profit percentage was the result of a better alignment of selling prices to material costs, partially offset by the effects of an increase in freight costs, reductions in volume and product mix, as certain products that are used in the new build residential market generally have higher profit margins compared to products sold into the industrial and commercial sectors. The acquisitions of Dramex and Florence also contributed to the higher gross margin. Noll’s gross margin was negatively impacted during the first quarter due to costs incurred to consolidate manufacturing facilities in California.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $3.1 million, or 9%, to $37.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from $34.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to the acquisitions noted above. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 3%. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 11.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from 11.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as a result of both higher selling general and administrative costs at Noll and the reduction in sales at our historic businesses noted above.
As a result of the above, income from continuing operations as a percentage of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 decreased to 5.6% from 5.7% for the prior year’s comparable period.

The following table sets forth the Company’s income from continuing operations by reportable segment for the three months ending March 31 (in thousands):
                     
          Total  Change due to 
  2008  2007  Change  Acquisitions  Operations 
Income from continuing operations:
                    
Building Products
 $20,800  $18,713  $2,087  $4,285  $(2,198)

 $18,302  $17,415  $887  $4,285  $(3,398)
 
               
Income from continuing operations as a percentage of net sales in our Building Products segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 of 9.1% remained consistent with the same period in 2007. The decline in income from continuing operations at our historic businesses is the result in the downturn in the residential housing markets.
Income from continuing operations in our Processed Metal Products segment as a percentage of net sales decreased to 4.4% of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 from 5.4% for the prior year’s comparable period. The decrease in operating margin percentage included the effects of lower sales volume and $1.3 million in costs associated with the consolidation of our Buffalo, New York manufacturing facilities.
Interest expense increased by approximately $0.9 million to $7.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase in interest expense was due to higher average borrowings for the 2007 acquisitions, partially offset by lower average interest rates compared to that of the prior year’s first quarter.
As a result of the above, income from continuing operations before taxes decreased by approximately $0.3 million, or 3%, to $10.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $10.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $3.5 million, an effective tax rate of 32.9%, compared with a 35.6% rate for the same period in 2007. Lower income taxes for first quarter of 2008 reflect the benefit of a decrease in our overall state income tax rate.
Outlook
We expect both segments to experience continued softness in two of the key markets we serve, residential housing construction and domestic automotive production, along with volatile and rising costs from our steel suppliers. Therefore, we have focused on increasing the alignment of rising costs with our selling prices; controlling costs through facility consolidations; increasing the productivity and efficiency in our operations; and further integrating our 2007 acquisitions. These actions are expected to help increase our income from continuing operations in 2008 over 2007. For the full year 2008, we expect diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $1.05 to $1.25, compared to $1.03 in 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s principal capital requirements are to fund its operations, including working capital, the purchase and funding of improvements to its facilities, machinery and equipment and to fund acquisitions.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company’s cash flows from continuing operations increased to $30.5 million, driven by lower working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $31.9 million and was primarily the result of net income from continuing operations of $7.1 million combined with depreciation and amortization of $9.3 million and $13.2 million from changes in assets and liabilities.
Working capital decreased by approximately $17.0 million, or 5.5%, to $289.5 million. This decrease in working capital was primarily driven by our continued focus on working capital efficiency and supply constraints from our steel suppliers. The net change included a $9.1 million decrease in inventories, a $30.0 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a $2.1 million reduction in assets of discontinued operations, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable of $25.3 million. The increase in receivables is the result of the timing of sales in the first quarter of 2008, which increased throughout the quarter, compared to the timing of sales during the fourth quarter, which decreased throughout that quarter. The decrease in inventories was the result of our focus on inventory reduction and certain supply constraints from our steel suppliers, while the increase in payables is due to the timing of purchases of, and payment for, raw materials.
The cash on hand at the beginning of the period and cash generated by operations was used to fund capital expenditures of $4.7 million, reduce outstanding indebtedness by $25.9 million and pay cash dividends of $1.5 million.
Senior credit facility and senior subordinated notes
The Company’s credit agreement provides a revolving credit facility and a term loan, which is due in December 2012. The revolving credit facility of up to $375.0 million and the term loan with a current balance of $87.6 million are secured with the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories and personal property and equipment. At March 31, 2008, the Company had used $166.0 million of the revolving credit facility and had letters of credit outstanding of $17.6 million, resulting in $191.4 million in availability. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility carry interest at LIBOR plus a fixed rate. The weighted average interest rate of these borrowings was 4.35% at March 31, 2008. Borrowings under the term loan carry interest at LIBOR plus a fixed rate. The weighted average rate in effect on March 31, 2008 was 5.04%.
The Company’s $204.0 million of 8% senior subordinated notes were issued in December 2005 at a discount to yield 8.25% Provisions of the 8% notes include, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, distributions from restricted subsidiaries, asset sales, affiliate transactions, dividends and other restricted payments. Dividend payments are subject to annual limits of $0.25 per share and $10 million. Prior to December 1, 2008, up to 35% of the 8% notes are redeemable at the option of the Company from the proceeds of an equity offering at a premium of 108% of the face value, plus accrued and unpaid interest. After December 1, 2010 the notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the redemption price (as defined in the notes agreement), which declines annually from 104% to 100% on and after December 1, 2013. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the indenture for such notes), each holder of the 8% notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s 8% Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof. The 8% notes are guaranteed by certain existing and future domestic subsidiaries and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements.
The Company’s various loan agreements, which do not require compensating balances, contain provisions that limit additional borrowings and require maintenance of minimum net worth and financial ratios. At March 31, 2008 the Company was in compliance with terms and provisions of all of its financing agreements.
For the second quarter and remainder of 2008, the Company is focused on maximizing positive cash flow, working capital management, and debt reduction. As of March 31, 2008, we believe that availability of funds under its existing credit facility together with the cash generated from operations will be sufficient to provide the Company with the liquidity and capital resources necessary to support its principal capital requirements, including operating activities, capital expenditures, and dividends.
