Apogee Enterprises, Inc. reported its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The results don’t include the results for UW Solutions, which the company recently acquired.

“Our team achieved another strong quarter of profitability, delivering improved operating margins, adjusted EPS growth, and increased operating cash flow, despite volume pressure,” said Ty R. Silberhorn, CEO. “This quarter’s results continue to demonstrate the sustainable improvements we’ve driven through executing our strategy. Our stronger operating foundation, improved cost structure, and increased mix of differentiated offerings are all contributing to our results.

“The momentum we’ve established in the business, combined with the recently announced acquisition of UW Solutions, position us for continued success as we move forward. We are excited to welcome their employees to our team and look forward to working with them to build a powerful new growth engine for our Company. We expect meaningful opportunities to utilize the capabilities of the combined business to help drive our long-term growth.”

The company said net sales decreased 3.2% to $342.4 million, primarily driven by lower volume, partially offset by improved pricing and mix. Operating income increased to $42.0 million, and operating margin was 12.3%. Adjusted operating income grew 6.4% to $43.1 million and adjusted operating margin improved by 110 basis points to 12.6%. The higher adjusted operating margin was primarily driven by improved pricing, a more favorable mix of projects in Architectural Services, favorable material costs, and lower insurance-related costs, partially offset by the impact of higher incentive compensation expense and the unfavorable sales leverage impact of lower volume.
