Apogee Enterprises reported a solid QQ3 2026 with revenue of $348.6 million, up 2.1% year over year, supported by the UW Solutions acquisition which contributed $18.4 million of inorganic sales. Despite a favorable mix and productivity gains, EBITDA margins compressed modestly to 8.9% (adjusted 13.2% for the quarter) as higher aluminum costs and volume pressures in metals and glass weighed on profitability. Management emphasized the ongoing execution of the Apogee Management System (AMS) and Fortify phase two, signaling continued margin discipline and cost-out benefits. The company reaffirmed a strategic framework unchanged: become the economic leader in target markets, actively pursue accretive M&A, and strengthen core operations. Outlook for fiscal 2026 remains constructive but acknowledges near-term headwinds from metals pricing and incentive-compensation normalization, while the UW Solutions platform and a robust M&A pipeline are positioned to drive longer-term margin and growth. The stated guidance envisions FY2026 net sales around $1.39 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $3.40–$3.50, including an estimated $0.30 tariff impact in 2026 and a majority tariff benefit in 2027. Management also outlines a broader Fortify Phase two restructuring with pretax charges of $28–$29 million and $25–$26 million in annual pretax savings, with roughly $10 million of benefits realized in fiscal 2027. Overall, APOG presents a mixed near-term margin trajectory against a strategic backdrop of M&A-led growth and continued cost discipline, with a constructive longer-term view contingent on commodity dynamics and market stabilization.
