Apogee Enterprises posted higher-than-expected sales in its latest quarter though it continues to face soft demand in its end markets.
The architectural products and services designer and developer logged earnings of about $21 million, or 96 cents a share, for the quarter ended Nov. 30, down from about $27 million, or $1.23 a share, a year earlier.
Stripping out one-time items, earnings came in at $1.19 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $1.10 a share.
Sales ticked up to $341.3 million from $339.7 million. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $332.3 million.
Apogee said the increase in sales was driven by $8.8 million of inorganic sales contribution from its acquisition of UW Solutions and a more favorable mix of projects in its architectural services segment.
Chief Executive Ty R. Silberhorn said Apogee is focused on long-term growth amid ongoing pressure from soft demand in its end markets that is impacting results in the near-term.
Apogee now expects sales for the full year to decline about 5%, which includes about $30 million in contributions from UW Solutions and the impact of lower-than-expected volume in the fourth quarter. It previously forecast sales to decline between 4% and 7%. The Minneapolis company also expects adjusted earnings per-share for the year to be at the bottom of its guidance range of $4.90 to $5.20.
