Commenting on its outlook:
"“Gibraltar delivered stronger financial results in 2012 than it did in 2011, and we are confident that we can extend this record of bottom-line growth during the year ahead,” said Lipke. “This confidence is based on four factors. First, we are becoming increasingly optimistic about the sustainability of the positive trends we are currently seeing in the majority of our end markets. As a result, we expect the leverage we have on a lower cost structure to result in expanded margins and improved profitability. Second, we will no longer be incurring the major restructuring charges related to our West Coast integration that we incurred this past year. Third, we completed three acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2012, funded from our existing cash, which we expect to be accretive in 2013. And fourth, we will have the benefit of lower interest expense in 2013 as a result of the very successful bond refinancing we completed three weeks ago.”
“In 2013, we are more strongly positioned for top-line growth,” said Lipke. “Our acquisitions over the past two years have expanded both our category and geographic coverage and, as a result, our underlying sales volume. In terms of organic growth, Gibraltar has more products in more major retail stores than at any time in the Company’s history. In addition, we are not only providing our wholesale and retail customers with programs that have the potential to further accelerate our sales in both channels, but we also have new products coming out of our development pipeline that should be well-received by our building products customers.”
“In light of the progress we have made internally and the brighter end-market outlook, we are optimistic about Gibraltar’s prospects for growth on both the top and bottom lines in 2013,” Lipke concluded."
