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 the cost or the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2025 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reallocated some of the costs from “Research and development and engineering expense” and “Selling expense” to “General and administrative expense” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The change was made on a prospective basis and did not adjust operating results of prior periods. While this change impacts the comparability of the results for prior periods presented, the change did not have any impact on the total operating expenses.
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 as of 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.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company changed its method of computing depreciation of Machinery and Equipment from accelerated methods to a straight-line method. The Company determined that the change in depreciation method is considered change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. Accordingly, a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle was applied prospectively. As a result of the change to the straight-line method, there is a $1.9 million reduction in depreciation expense and an estimated $1.4 million increase in net income, or approximately $0.03 per basic and $0.03 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
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, 2024 (the “2024 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. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data provided herein were derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The Company’s quarterly results fluctuate. Accordingly, the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.
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.

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, 2025 are outlined in the table below:

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 unrelated market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that unrelated 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 investments and liabilities in the deferred compensation plan are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy, and are subject to investment risks. The fair values of 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 acquisition is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, as this amount is based on unobservable inputs such as management estimates and entity-specific assumptions and are evaluated on an ongoing basis.
The following tables summarize the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value for the Company as of March 31, 2025 and 2024:

(1) The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, representing money market funds traded in an active market with relatively short maturities, are reported on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 as a component of "Cash and cash equivalents".
(2) The carrying amounts of our term loan and revolver approximate fair value as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 based upon their terms and conditions 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 7.
(4) Non-qualified deferred compensation plan.
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 in the consolidated balance sheets. 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.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan ("DCP" or “the Plan”) in April 2023 for eligible employees and members of the Board of Directors. The Plan provides eligible participants the opportunity to defer and invest a specified percentage of their compensation, including the Company stock awards upon vesting. The Plan is a non-qualified plan that is informally funded by assets in a rabbi trust, which restricts the Company's use and access to the assets held but is subject to the claims of the Company's creditors in the event that the Company becomes insolvent. The amount of compensation to be deferred by participants are based on their own elections and are adjusted for any investment changes that the participants direct. This plan does not provide for employer contributions.
The Plan permits diversification of vested shares (common stock) into other equity securities subject to a six-month holding period subsequent to vesting. Accounting for deferred common stock will be under either plan C or plan D. Accounting will depend on whether or not the employee has diversified the common stock. Under plan C, diversification is permitted but the employee has not diversified. Under plan D, diversification is permitted and the employee has diversified.
For common stock that has not been diversified, the Company common stock held in the deferred compensation plan is classified in a manner similar to treasury stock and presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Company's common stock held by the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Common stock is recorded at fair value of the stock at the time it vested, subsequent changes in the value of the common stock is not recognized. The deferred compensation obligations are measured independently at fair value of the common stock with a corresponding charge or credit to compensation cost. Fair value is determined as the product of the common stock and the closing price of the stock each reporting period.
Under plan D, assets held by the rabbi trust are subject to applicable GAAP. The deferred compensation obligation is measured independently at fair value of the underlying assets.
The Company previously presented certain DCP transactions within existing financial statement line items of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for period ended March 31, 2024. The Company has reflected these DCP transactions in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The transactions resulted in reclassifying equity balances related to "Non-qualified deferred compensation plan share awards" as mezzanine equity for$8.8 millionand they were combined with stock-based compensation expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company has evaluated the prior period reclassifications both qualitatively and quantitatively and has concluded that they have an immaterial impact on the periods presented.
10
Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The acquisition method requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the business acquired be recognized and measured at fair value on the acquisition date, which is the date that the acquirer obtains control of the acquired business. The amount by which the fair value of consideration transferred as the purchase price exceeds the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business under the ASC 805 are accounted for as an acquisition of assets, whereby all of the cost of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including certain transactions costs, are allocated on a relative fair value basis. Accordingly, goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition.
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. The Company's 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).
Contract liability is recorded when consideration is received from a customer and the Company has remaining unsatisfied performance obligations
The Company presents taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer (e.g., sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes) are excluded from revenue. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.
Leases
The Company has operating 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.
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 compensation 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 cumulatively 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.
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
11
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.
Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive shares 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 Standard Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2023-07, which aligns interim segment disclosure requirements with existing annual requirements and includes updates to segment reporting, most notably through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company adopted the ASU for annual disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2024, and interim disclosures for the first quarter of 2025. The ASU is applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, and it had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 13 for more information.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 requiring enhanced income tax disclosures. The ASU requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table. The ASU also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The requirements of the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is continuing to analyze the requirements and expects immaterial impact of the ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 requiring public companies to disclose, in interim and reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not believe other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that have not become effective will have a material impact on its 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 13.
Wood Construction Products Revenue. Wood construction products represented approximately 85.3% and 85.1% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Concrete Construction Products Revenue. Concrete construction products represented approximately14.4% and 14.8% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 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)
12
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 0.5% of total 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 services 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 right to receive 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.
Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of costs and earnings and other deferred revenue on cancellable contracts. The time period between when consideration was received to when performance obligations are complete may not be significant. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's contract liabilitywas $7.2 million and immaterial, respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $3.0 million during the period ended March 31, 2025. The Company had no material contract assets from contract with customers.

4. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company currently maintains the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) as its only equity incentive plan. Under the 2011 Plan, no more than 16.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock in aggregate may be issued, including shares already issued pursuant to prior awards granted under the 2011 Plan. Shares of the Company's common stock underlying awards to be issued pursuant to the 2011 Plan are registered under the Securities Act. Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock options. The Company currently intends to award only performance-based stock units ("PSUs") and/or time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs").
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
13
immaterial for all periods presented. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to its equity plans for employees of $6.5 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted an aggregate of 110 thousand RSUs and PSUs to the Company's employees, including officers at an estimated weighted average fair value of $166.60 per share based on the closing price (adjusted for certain market factors primarily the present value of dividends) of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The RSUs and PSUs granted to the Company's employees may be time-based, performance-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. These awards cliff vest after three years. 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 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, 2025, the Company's aggregate unamortized stock compensation expense was approximately $37.5 million which is expected to be recognized in expense over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

10. Leases
The Company has operating leases for certain facilities, equipments, and automobiles. The existing operating leases expire at various dates through 2039, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years. The Company measured the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments are discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company measured the ROU assets at the amount at which the lease liability is recognized plus initial direct costs incurred or prepayment amounts. The ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The following table provides a summary of leases included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 and December 31, 2024, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

12. 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.
20
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.
13. 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 the Company’s customers. The financial information of these segments is available and utilized by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s CODM, to assess the segments’ performance. The primary measurements used to measure the financial performance of the segments are revenue, gross margins, and operating margins to decide whether to reinvest the profits, make acquisitions, pay down debt or borrow, or to return capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases.
The three regional segments are the North America segment (comprised primarily of the Company’s operations in the U.S. and Canada), the Europe segment 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 column 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.The following table presents financial information of each segment that is used by the CODM to assess the performance of segments for periods ended March 31, 2025 andMarch 31, 2024, respectively:

Cash collected by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries is routinely transferred into the Company’s cash management accounts and, therefore is in the total assets of “Administrative and all other.” Cash and cash equivalent balances in the “Administrative and all other” segment were $60.8 million and $276.6 million, as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $89.5 million or 59.5%, of its cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. in accounts belonging to the Company’s various foreign operating entities. The majority of this balance is held in foreign currencies and could be subject to additional taxation if repatriated to the U.S.
The Company's wood construction products are used in light-frame building applications and include connectors, truss plates, screw fastening systems, fasteners and pre-fabricated lateral-force resisting systems. Its concrete construction products are used in concrete, masonry and steel building applications and include adhesives, chemicals, mechanical anchors, carbide drill bits, powder actuated tools, fiber reinforced materials, and other repair products used for protecting and strengthening structures.

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. Within the North America segment, our sales efforts are aligned to customer market teams dedicated to serving the following markets:
•Residential;
•Commercial;
•Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”);
•National Retail; and
•Component Manufacturers
Our organic growth opportunities are focused on expanding our product lines with our current customers while also identifying new market share gain opportunities within our core product and market competencies.
To grow in these markets, we aspire to be among the leaders in engineered, load-rated construction building products and systems as well as digital product offerings. We also aspire to leverage 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 to support our ambitions. This 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 introducing new products in the future.
Our commitment to continuous improvement has fostered our core Company ambitions, which we will pursue including:
•Strengthen our values-based culture;
•Be the partner of choice;
•Be an innovative leader in the markets we operate;
•Above market growth relative to U.S. housing starts (exceeding our historical average volume performance in North America of approximately 250 basis points above the housing starts market);
•An operating income margin at or above 20%; and
•Earnings per share growth exceeding net revenue growth
Since announced in 2021, we have made great progress on our key growth initiatives. Examples include:
•Added approximately $1.0 billion in revenue and $200.0 million in operating profit.
•Realigned our sales team by end market, making our distribution process more efficient, and made significant investments in our field sales and engineering teams.
•Made significant footprint investments in both production and warehouses. Our investment in our new Gallatin, Tennessee facility enables us to onshore additional fastener and anchor production, and the operation will in-source key manufacturing processes such as heat treating and coating of fasteners. Additional warehouse capabilities will also enhance next day delivery for our North American customers.
•Invested significantly in digital solutions, combined with the other initiatives strengthened our business model, which drove hardware sales, created value for our customers and made us a partner of choice.
•Strengthened our senior leadership team through a combination of internal development and external experts.
As a result, we believe we are now in an even stronger market position in connectors with significant gains in both fasteners and anchors. In addition, due to our high service levels, increasingly diverse portfolio of products and software as well as our commitment to innovation and developing complete solutions for the markets we serve, we believe we can continue to achieve above market growth in the North America relative to U.S. housing starts for fiscal 2025 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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the recent tariff and trade policy actions have not had a significant impact on our results of operations; however, we have experienced increased foreign currency exchange rate volatility, which we attribute, in part, to the rapidly changing global trade environment.
24
As previously announced, we will increase prices as of June 2, 2025 on certain wood connectors, fasteners and mechanical anchors in the U.S. We believe North America net sales could increase in future periods even if demand does not increase. However, increased selling prices are expected to be offset by increased non-material costs including labor, energy, transportation, and equipment. In addition, the announced price increases will partly offset the increased costs related to recently announced tariffs that effect a portion of our fastener and anchors sales.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of our business. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, integration, acquisition and restructuring costs, non-qualified deferred compensation adjustments, goodwill impairment, gain on bargain purchase, net loss or gain on disposal of assets, interest income or expense, and foreign exchange and other expense (income). This provides additional insight into the Company’s operating performance in light of the significant levels of growth investment we have made in our operations, the effect depreciation as well as acquisition and integration costs will have on our operating results. We believe this will also provide a better approximation of our cash flows compared to operating income.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our business, financial condition, and results of operations depend in large part on the level of U.S. housing starts and residential construction activity. Overall housing starts decreased slightly under the trailing twelve months ending March 31, 2025, compared to the trailing twelve months ending March 31, 2024. Lower housing starts in the U.S. could result in lower demand, which would affect our sales and possibly operating profit.
Unlike lumber or other products that have a more direct correlation to U.S. 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.
We are closely monitoring the recent tariff and trade policy actions taken by the U.S. and foreign governments. As the situation continues to remain fluid due to the rapidly changing global trade environment, we are still evaluating the potential implications of these actions on our business. While we are largely domestically sourced, we continue to monitor macroeconomic trends such as the impact of inflation, the effects of recently implemented tariffs, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs in markets where we and our supplier operate. As a result of the tariff’s announced by the U.S. presidential administration on April 2, 2025, and potential tariff modifications or the imposition of tariffs or export controls by other countries there is significant economic uncertainty. The extent and duration of tariffs and the resulting impact on macroeconomic conditions and on our business are uncertain and may depend on various factors beyond our control. We are closely monitoring the potential for the imposition of new or additional U.S. tariffs on imports, as well as potential retaliatory tariffs or other measures other countries may impose on U.S. imports, that may adversely affect the global economy. We are currently uncertain as to the ultimate impact these measure may have given the rapidly changing environment surrounding tariffs and other related political topics; however, if enacted as currently proposed, we expect that the proposed tariffs would primarily impact our North America segment as we procure fasteners and a small number of other products from countries that will be subjected to the these tariffs. Additionally, economic pressures on our customers, including the potential of higher inflation, fluctuations in consumer confidence, driven by economic concerns or price increases, such as those we recently announced, could reduce demand for our products and services negatively affecting our net sales and profitability in the future.
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. Increased tariffs (as noted above), political uncertainty, and rising costs, can also have an effect on our gross and operating profits as well. Due to efforts in diversifying our geographic footprint, product offerings, and changing our path to market in the U.S., sales from our product lines, customer base, and customer purchases are becoming less seasonal. 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 any increases in raw material costs. Changes in labor, freight and warehousing costs, could also negatively impact gross profit depending on timing and amount of sales price can be increased to offset the higher costs.
Our operations also expose us to risks associated with pandemics, epidemics or other public health crises.
25
Business Segment Information
Historically, our North America segment has generated more revenues from wood construction products compared to concrete construction products. North America net sales increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024, due to incremental sales from the Company's 2024 acquisitions and timing of volume discount estimates that negatively impacted 2024 net sales. The increases were partly offset by the negative effect of approximately $1.5 million in foreign currency translation. Our wood construction product net sales increased 3.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024. Our concrete construction product sales increased 0.7% over the same periods. For 2025, U.S. housing starts could stay flat or increase in the low-single digit range from 2024 levels, with growth weighted towards the second half of the year.With the investments we have made, we believe we will be able to continue to grow net sales above the U.S. housing starts market, one of our ambitions.
Operating income increased 5.4% to $104.2 million from $98.9 million. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profits, partially offset by higher operating expenses. The operating expense increases were driven by higher personnel costs and variable incentive compensation costs. For 2025, incremental investments in the current business will be limited until the U.S. housing market shows long-term improvement.
During 2025, work continued on our Columbus, Ohio facility expansion as well as the construction our new Gallatin, Tennessee facility.We expect the expansion and operation of these facilities to be completed and commence in 2025. The expanded and new facilities are expected to 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.
Europe net sales decreased 5.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024, primarily due the negative effect of approximately $4.0 million in foreign currency translation. Wood construction product sales decreased 4.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024 and concrete construction product sales, which are mostly project based, decreased 7.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024. Gross profit decreased $3.8 million primarily due to higher factory and overhead, labor, as well as warehouse costs, partly offset by lower material costs. Operating income increased $1.1 million primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses including variable compensation costs.We currently anticipate Europe 2025 results to be impacted by economic headwinds but also believe in the long term potential given Europe's on-going housing shortage (with an increasing use of wood construction) and new environmental regulations for which we have products and solutions.
Our Asia/Pacific segment has generated revenues from both wood and concrete construction products. We believe that the Asia/Pacific segment is not significant to our overall performance.
Business Outlook
Based on business trends and conditions, the Company's outlook for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, is as follows:
◦Given the uncertainty regarding 2025 U.S. housing starts compared to prior year housing starts, consolidated operating margin is estimated to be in the range of 18.5% to 20.5% with the low end of the range based on flat to declining 2025 housing starts compared to prior year and price increases implemented in 2025. The operating margin range includes a projected benefit of between $10.0 million and $12.0 million from the sale of the existing Gallatin, Tennessee facility based on a contracted sales price of $19.1 million.
◦The effective tax rate is estimated to be in the range of 25.5% to 26.5%, including both federal and state income tax rates as well as international income tax rates, and assuming no tax law changes are enacted.
◦Capital expenditures are estimated to be approximately $150.0 million to $170.0 million, which includes $75.0 million for the Columbus, Ohio facility expansion and construction of the new Gallatin, Tennessee facility.

Net sales increased 1.6% to $538.9 million from $530.6 million. As noted above, North America sales increased primarily due to incremental sales from the Company's 2024 acquisitions and timing of volume discount estimates that negatively impacted 2024 net sales. The increases were partly offset by the negative effect of foreign currency translation of approximately $1.5 million from North America and approximately $4.0 million from Europe. Wood construction product sales, including sales of connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and shearwalls, represented approximately 85.3% and 85.1% of the Company's total sales in the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Concrete construction product sales, including sales of adhesives, chemicals, mechanical anchors, powder actuated tools and reinforcing fiber materials, represented 14.4% and 14.8% of the Company's total sales in the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Gross profit increased 3.1% to $252.0 million from $244.6 million primarily due to timing of 2024 volume discount estimates, as noted above, partially offset by increase in higher factory and overhead, labor, as well as warehouse costs. As a result, consolidated gross margins were 46.8% compared to 46.1% last year. From a product perspective, gross margin remained relatively flat at approximately 46.0% for wood construction products and increased to 49.5% from 46.5% for concrete construction products, respectively.
Research and development and engineering expense decreased 9.5% to $19.8 million from $21.9 million. Due to the reorganization of the Company’s digital solution efforts, related expenses previously classified as research and development and engineering during 2024 were classified as general administrative for the current year. For 2024, engineering costs related to the Company's digital efforts amounted to $2.5 million and were primarily comprised of personnel costs.
Selling expense decreased 0.6% to $54.2 million from $54.5 million. Due to the reorganization of the Company’s digital solution efforts, related expenses previously classified as selling expense during 2024 were classified as general administrative for the current year. For 2024, engineering costs related to the Company's digital efforts amounted to $1.5 million and were primarily comprised of personnel costs.

General and administrative expense increased 7.8% to $75.7 million from $70.2 million. Due to the reorganization of the Company’s digital solution efforts, related expenses previously classified as research and development and engineering as well as selling expense during 2024 were classified as general administrative for the current year. For 2024, engineering costs related to the Company's digital efforts amounted to $4.0 million and were primarily comprised of personnel costs.
Our effective income tax rate increased to 25.5% from 23.4%.
Consolidated net income was $77.9 million compared to $75.4 million. Diluted earnings per share was $1.85 compared to $1.77.
Adjusted EBITDA1 of $121.8 million increased 3.8% compared to $117.3 million, primarily due to higher gross profits, as noted above.

Effect of New Accounting Standards
See “Note 1 Basis of Presentation — Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted” to the accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically met our capital needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and, when necessary, borrowings under our credit facilities. 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 from time to time.
On March 30, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for a 5-year revolving credit facility of $450.0 million, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility up to $50 million and for a 5-year term loan facility of $450.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility and had $382.5 million under the term loan facility and has $450.0 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility.
As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents consisted of deposits and money market funds held with established national financial institutions, including $89.5 million that is held in the local currencies of our foreign operations and could be subject to additional taxation if repatriated to the U.S. The Company is maintaining a permanent reinvestment assertion on its foreign earnings relative to remaining cash held outside the United States.
We believe the Company's balances of cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities, and access to borrowings under our credit facilities are sufficient to satisfy its liquidity requirements and capital needs over the next 12 months and beyond.
The following table shows selected financial information as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively:

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 impacted by prevailing macro-economic conditions and subject to seasonality, which is cyclically associated with the volume and timing of construction project starts. For example, as a result of seasonality our 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, 2025, operating activities provided $7.6 million in cash, as a result of $77.9 million from net income plus $28.2 million non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and leases. This amount was partly offset by $98.5 million used for the net change in operating assets and liabilities. The net change in operating assets and liabilities included increases of $85.4 million in trade accounts receivable and $18.5 million in inventory.
Cash used in investing activities of $50.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily used for facility expansion projects and machinery and equipment purchases.Due to updated forecasts on the timing of the spend and subject to future events and circumstances, capital expenditures are estimated to be in the range of $150.0 million to $170.0 million, which includes approximately $75.0 million remaining for both the Columbus, Ohio facility expansion and the new Gallatin, Tennessee facility. The remaining capital expenditures will be primarily focused on purchases of new equipment to support increased productivity and efficiencies, enhancements to our existing facilities to expand our manufacturing footprint in-line with increasing customer needs, as well as investments for adjacencies and key growth initiatives.
Cash used in financing activities of $42.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of $25.0 million in share repurchases, $11.7 million used to pay dividends to our stockholders, and $6.8 million used for debt repayment.
On May 6, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per share payable on July 24, 2025, to the Company's stockholders of record on July 3, 2025.
Since the beginning of 2022 through May 7, 2025, we have returned $401.0 million to stockholders, which includes the repurchase of over 1.9 million shares of the Company's common stock, representing approximately 4.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock at the start of 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2025.
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.
31
We may manage our exposure to transactional risk by entering into foreign currency forward contracts for forecasted transactions and projected cash flows for foreign currencies in future periods. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, we entered into financial contracts at various times to hedge the risk of fluctuations associated with the Euro and the Chinese Yuan during 2023.
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary exposure to interest rate risk results from outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, which bears interest at variable rates. As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement subject to interest rate fluctuations was $382.5 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 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 7, "Derivatives and Hedging Instruments", for further information on our interest rate swap contracts in effect as of March 31, 2025.
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 started to stabilize by the end of 2024 and it began to raise again later part of first quarter of 2025. 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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2025, 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 Exchange Act of 1934. 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, 2025, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
