Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:APOG), a leading provider of architectural building products and services, as well as high-performance coated materials used in a variety of applications, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire SIA "GroGlass" ("Groglass") for up to €62.5 million (approximately $72.5 million at current exchange rates) on a cash-free, debt-free basis, subject to customary closing conditions. The purchase price includes up to €10 million (approximately $11.6 million at current exchange rates) payable over 3 years dependent upon Groglass achieving certain financial targets. The transaction is expected to close during the Company’s fiscal 2027 third quarter.

Groglass, located in Riga, Latvia, is a leading provider of high-performance glass surface solutions, specializing in anti-reflective and other advanced coatings used in display, architectural, and technical applications. Groglass’ portfolio includes premium brands recognized for superior optical clarity and durability, serving customers across global end markets such as museums, electronics, and architectural design. With a strong foundation in materials science and coating technologies, Groglass combines innovation, quality, and long-standing customer relationships to deliver differentiated solutions.

"The addition of Groglass will strengthen our position in attractive end markets by bringing differentiated coating technologies and deep materials science expertise," said Apogee Executive Chair and CEO Don Nolan. "Groglass is a natural complement to our Performance Surfaces segment, expanding our capabilities, broadening our market reach, and enhancing how we serve customers with advanced, high-performance solutions. This acquisition adds a business with attractive growth and margin characteristics while creating additional opportunities for innovation, customer value, and long-term shareholder returns."

The Company plans to integrate Groglass into its Performance Surfaces Segment. Groglass will enhance the segment’s coatings and materials science capabilities while expanding its product offerings and geographic reach to further strengthen Apogee's long-term growth and profitability profile. The acquisition is expected to contribute approximately $30 million of revenue in the first twelve months at an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 25%. The integration plan has identified at least $4 million of annualized cost synergies and operating improvement opportunities expected to be realized within three years.

The acquisition will be financed using cash on hand and the Company’s existing credit facility.

Dorsey & Whitney LLP and Ellex Klavins served as legal counsel to Apogee.

The Company will provide further details on the strategic and financial aspects of the transaction during its second quarter fiscal 2027 earnings conference call.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains the following non-GAAP measure: adjusted EBITDA margin. This measure is used by the Company to provide meaningful supplemental information about its operating performance by excluding amounts that are not considered part of core operating results to enhance comparability of results from period to period.

Management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance, measure operational profitability on a consistent basis, as a factor in determining executive compensation, and to provide enhanced transparency to the investment community. This and other non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that are not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance, including transaction-related expenses, integration costs and other non-recurring items. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the reported financial results of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures will be provided in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of the forward-looking projected adjusted EBITDA margin non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing and amount of items such as transaction costs, integration costs, purchase accounting adjustments and other non-recurring items, which could be material.
