Management cited ongoing pressure from lower volume, manufacturing and freight costs, and unfavorable pricing.
• Acquisition activity is expanding the portfolio but adding execution demands: Apogee expects Kalwall to deliver approximately $85 million of first-year revenue at a 15% EBITDA margin and Groglass to contribute about $30 million at a 25% margin.
