Business Wire
Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: APOG) today announced
strategic actions to further streamline its business operations,
enable a more efficient cost model, and better position the Company
for profitable growth (referred to as “Project Fortify”).
Project Fortify includes the following strategic changes related
to the Architectural Framing Systems (AFS) segment:
- Eliminating certain lower-margin product and service offerings,
enabling the consolidation of AFS into a single operating
entity.
- Transferring production operations from the Company’s facility
in Walker, Michigan, to the Company’s facilities in Monett,
Missouri and Wausau, Wisconsin.
- Simplifying the segment’s brand portfolio and commercial model
to improve flexibility, better leverage the Company’s capabilities,
and enhance customer service.
Additionally, the Company will implement actions to optimize
processes and streamline resources in its Architectural Services
and Corporate segments.
“The actions we are announcing today progress our enterprise
strategy and help position the Company to build on what we’ve
achieved over the past two years,” said Ty R. Silberhorn, Chief
Executive Officer. “Project Fortify will further improve our cost
structure, enhance organizational efficiency, and enable our team
to focus on higher growth, higher margin opportunities.”
The Company will begin executing these actions immediately and
expects to be substantially completed in the third quarter of
fiscal 2025. The Company expects to incur approximately $16 million
to $18 million of pre-tax charges in connection with Project
Fortify, including: $7 million to $9 million of severance and
employee related costs; $2 million to $3 million of contract
termination costs, and $6 million to $7 million of other expenses.
The Company will record these charges as incurred. Any
restructuring charges incurred associated with Project Fortify are
expected to be adjusted out of GAAP earnings and therefore would
not impact adjusted diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2024 or
2025.
The actions announced today are expected to lead to annualized
cost savings of $12 million to $14 million and reduce the Company’s
workforce by approximately 250 employees. The Company expects
approximately 60% of the savings to be realized in fiscal 2025 and
the remainder in fiscal 2026. The Company expects that
approximately 70% of the savings will be realized in the AFS
segment, 20% in the Architectural Services segment, and 10% in the
Corporate segment.
