Prior-year period earnings included a $0.05 per share gain from net proceeds of a class action lawsuit settlement with certain flat glass manufacturers.

Architectural segment revenues were up 13 percent. Operating income decreased 15 percent to $3.9 million compared to the prior year, but was up 18 percent after excluding unusual items in both years ($0.6 million charge for realignment of window manufacturing business in current quarter and flat glass settlement income of $0.8 million in prior-year period).

Architectural backlog grew 24 percent to $276.5 million from the prior-year period.

Apogee announced plans on September 13 to build a new fabrication plant in the Southwest. The new capacity, which is designed to meet increasing demand for architectural glass products, is part of the company's strategy to grow this market.
