M&A and Capital Markets Activity
Building Products
• Building Products is seeing healthy deal flow on positive momentum
in the construction market. Marquee deals involving corporate and
private equity acquirers are indicative of an active M&A market and likely
harbingers of continued consolidation.
• Ply Gem Holdings (NYSE:PGEM) acquired Simonton Windows
from Fortune Brands Home & Security (NYSE:FBHS) and PGT
(NasdaqGM:PGTI) acquired CGI Windows and Doors. The acquisition of
Norcraft Companies by Fortune Brands Home & Security (NYSE:FBHS)
and ProBuild Holdings by Builders FirstSource (NasdaqGS:BLDR) are
among other notable corporate transactions.
• Private equity sponsors gained the spotlight with Altus Capital Partners
(GED Integrated Solutions), Nautic Partners (Custom Window Systems),
and Audax Group (Chase Doors) among the investors to add platforms
in the windows and doors space. Bellwether transactions include the
proposed merger of Stock Building Supply Holdings (NasdaqGS:STCK)
and Building Materials Holding Corporation, Platinum Equity’s acquisition
of PrimeSource Building Products, and the purchase of Hanson Building
Products by Lone Star Funds.
Broad Market
• 2015 appears off to a strong start for deal making in the middle market.1
M&A volume (based on number of transactions) increased 30 percent
over 1Q14 levels on 23 percent higher value.
• Private equity deal flow is keeping pace with 2014 levels, according to the
PitchBook 2Q15 U.S. Middle Market Report, which reported that
$359.7 billion was invested in 1,791 deals during the first quarter. By
comparison last year, total deal value was up 21 percent over 2013, while
counts were up 24 percent. The middle market accounted for 78 percent
of all private equity buyouts—up from the record high 72 percent logged
in 2014.
• Leverage multiples experienced a modest contraction in 2015 but remain
elevated in the current valuation environment. Reporting on the broader
middle market2, S&P Leveraged Commentary & Data cited a median
EBITDA multiple of 10.24x through the May year-to-date period—up from
9.69x in 2014. Senior debt multiples (senior debt to EBITDA) decreased to
4.86x from 5.13x in 2014.
• S&P LCD reported senior leverage of 4.66x for leveraged buyouts in
the lower middle market. Purchase price multiples for the May year-todate period increased to 8.9x and 8.8x for strategic and financial buyer
transactions, respectively.
1 Middle market defined as enterprise values between $25 million and $500 million.
2 Defined as issuers with EBITDA of $50M or less.
• Supply of capital continues to outstrip loan demand, leaving lenders
dissatisfied with volumes during the quarter. More than 90 percent of
participating lenders in Thomson Reuters LPC’s 2Q15 Middle Market Lender
Outlook survey were unable to meet lending goals in 1Q15, attributing the
shortfall to aggressive structures and tight pricing.
Public Equity Markets
• The public equity markets remain volatile amid uncertainty in the global
economy and energy market. BGL Building Products composite indices
outperformed the broader market year-to-date: Residential-Focused
(10.9 percent), Commercial-Focused (9.3 percent), Distributors
(7.5 percent), Aggregates and Cement (12.7 percent), and Home Builders
(7.6 percent). Broader market indices rallied last week on indications of the
Fed slowing rate hikes, with returns on the S&P 500 and DJIA regaining to
2.5 percent and 1.0 percent, respectively.
*As of June 19, 2015.
Operating Highlights
• Total housing starts rose to an annualized level of 1.0 million units in 2014
and are forecasted to surpass 1.1 million units in 2015. Nonresidential
construction is expected to see continued growth from strong commercial,
industrial, and institutional demand.
• May’s positive PMI reading marked the 29th consecutive month of
expansion for the U.S. manufacturing sector. The overall economy grew for
the 72nd consecutive month.
• Macro indicators of economic growth, declining unemployment, and
low gasoline prices are expected to buoy consumer confidence and fuel
construction spending, positives for the building products market.

Window of Opportunity
in Building Products
Building products M&A is accelerating on the heels of sustained economic growth and a rebound in the construction
market. The fragmented window and door industry is among the sectors seeing a healthy uptick as participants seek
consolidation opportunities to expand manufacturing footprints and capabilities, broaden product portfolios, and
enhance margins.
The residential window and door industry is sized at
approximately $19.4 billion annually. New construction and
replacement and remodeling (R&R) expenditures drive
growth.
Window Market
New residential construction, comprising single family, multifamily, and manufactured housing, accounts for 47 percent
of the window market. Window demand rebounded sharply
in 2012 from a 2009 low. Annual shipments grew by 6 million
units between 2011 and 2013, representing a compound
annual growth rate of 23 percent. Demand is forecasted to
grow at a CAGR of approximately 18.4 percent (in units)
between 2014 and 2016. Vinyl is projected to make up an
estimated 61 percent of all window shipments in 2016.
The replacement and remodeling (R&R) market represents
53 percent of overall demand for windows. R&R market
demand showed signs of stabilization in 2013 following
negative growth during the downturn. Demand is forecasted

to grow 5.2 percent annually (in units) between 2014 and
2016. Vinyl market share is projected to account for 74
percent of all window shipments in 2016.
Door Market
The replacement market accounts for the largest volume
of residential door shipments with a 48 percent share,
followed by new construction (31 percent) and remodeling
(21 percent). Residential door shipments grew a modest
5.4 percent between 2011 and 2013, or 900,000 units, to
9 million units. Demand is projected to grow at a CAGR of
approximately 8.3 percent (in units) between 2014 and 2016.
Steel is projected to make up an estimated 46 percent of all
door shipments in 2016. Fiberglass continues to gain share,
increasing from 28 percent to 38 percent between 2008 and
2013, driven by product improvements, builder preference,
and greater acceptance of the material across a wide range
of applications.
New construction accounts for 71 percent of the
nonresidential market for doors, followed by remodeling
(19 percent) and replacement (10 percent). Nonresidential
door shipments grew by 8 percent between 2011 and 2013,
or 300,000 units, to 2.1 million units. Demand is forecasted
to grow 16.1 percent annually (in units) between 2014 and
2016. Aluminum market share is projected to account for 52
percent of all door shipments in 2016.

The fragmented window and door industry is seeing a healthy uptick in M&A activity as participants seek consolidation
opportunities to expand manufacturing footprints and capabilities, broaden product portfolios, and enhance margins.
Several acquisitions have been announced during the last 12 months, including Ply Gem Holdings’ (NYSE:PGEM) acquisition
of Simonton Windows from Fortune Brands Home & Security (NYSE:FBHS) and the purchase of CGI Windows and Doors
by PGT (NasdaqGM:PGTI).
September 2014
Enterprise Value: $130 million
Enterprise Value/Revenue: .43x
Enterprise Value/EBITDA: ~10.0x
“Simonton’s strength in the replace and remodel
segment of the market combined with Ply Gem’s
strength in new construction are a natural combination.
Together the companies can now offer a more
comprehensive product portfolio, benefit from an
expanded distribution network, and have a more
efficient national manufacturing platform.”
Chris Klein
CEO, Fortune Brands Home & Security
September 2014
Enterprise Value: $111 million
Enterprise Value/Revenue: 2.5x
Enterprise Value/EBITDA: ~8x-10x
Based in Columbus, Ohio, Simonton
produces ENERGY STAR-qualified
vinyl replacement and new
construction windows and doors,
including a line of impact resistant
products, at manufacturing facilities
in West Virginia, Illinois, and
California. Prior to the acquisition,
Ply Gem’s sales were comprised
of 80 percent new construction
and 20 percent remodeling. With
the addition of Simonton, Ply Gem
establishes a stronger position in
the repair & remodeling market,
with the sales mix divided between
remodeling (52 percent of sales)
and new construction (48 percent),
according to Plastics News.
“The addition of Simonton
Windows is in full alignment with
our strategic growth plan and
will better balance the mix of
end markets that we serve while
strengthening our core capabilities
and contributing significantly to
revenues in the future,” said
CGI is a regional manufacturer of
impact-resistant aluminum- and
vinyl-framed windows and doors
primarily serving the Florida
residential market. Products are
sold under the Estate, Sentinel, and
Targa brands. The deal marks the
largest acquisition in PGT’s 35-year
history.
With the acquisition, PGT enhances
its market position by gaining a
major competitor, diversifies and
broadens its product portfolio
with the addition of impactresistant doors, and expands
its manufacturing footprint and
capabilities. PGT’s larger scale
will enable the company to more
effectively compete against
national suppliers of storm

The acquisition underscores a
bullish outlook on a sustained

PGT CEO Rod Hershberger. “This is
an ideal acquisition for PGT, and it
will provide important synergies
while enhancing our leadership
position within the industry.”

Repair and remodeling spending is expected to grow in the
coming years with increased demand for energy-efficient and
sustainable building products and materials and accessibility
improvements for seniors.
Positive trends in the Architectural Billings Index (ABI)
and improvements in public spending support continued
momentum in the commercial construction market.
Nonresidential construction is expected to see continued
growth from strong commercial, industrial, and institutional
demand. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reports the
highest growth in institutional activity, evidenced in March by
ten consecutive months of positive ABI readings in the sector.
The March commercial ABI reading reflected the highest uptick
in billings of the last 18 months. Despite a dip in April, “The
fundamentals in the design and construction industry remain
very healthy,” indicated AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker,
pointing to positive trends in new project inquiries and new
design contracts, reflective of strong underlying demand for
design activity.

The remodeling market is rebounding. Rising consumer
confidence, appreciation in home values, and aging housing
stock are expected to fuel demand in the remodeling market,
which has outpaced the broader housing recovery according
to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University
(JCHS). Spending levels rebounded to $300 billion in 2013,
with discretionary spending on large-ticket remodeling projects
seeing the first increase since 2005. JHCS predicts the industry
could see record-level spending in 2015.

Age of Owner-Occupied Housing Stock
The median age of a U.S. home was 35 years in 2011.
Dodge Data & Analytics, in its 2015 Construction Outlook,
forecasts 15 percent and 9 percent increases in commercial
and institutional building, respectively, in 2015. Robert Murray,
Chief Economist for Dodge Data & Analytics, commented,
“The construction expansion should become more broadbased in 2015, with support coming from more sectors than
was often the case in recent years.” He continued, “The
economic environment going forward carries several positives
that will help to further lift total construction starts. Financing
for construction projects is becoming more available,....
interest rates for the near term should stay low, and market
fundamentals (occupancies and rents) for commercial building
and multifamily housing continue to strengthen.”

Millennials vital to the building
products industry
Energy Efficient Windows and
Fenestration Systems
The nation is undergoing a seismic demographic shift
as Millennials overtake Boomers as the largest living
generation, according to the Pew Research Center (PRC).
Citing statistics from U.S. Census Bureau forecasts, PRC
reported that Millennials (ages 18 to 34) are projected to
number 75.3 million in 2015, surpassing the projected 74.9
million Boomers (ages 51 to 69). By 2025, the Millennial
generation is expected to be almost 7 percent larger than
the baby boomer generation at comparable ages. Wielding
massive purchasing power, Millennials are expected to
eclipse Baby Boomers in spending power by 2018 ($3.39
trillion) according to Wakefield Research.
Programs such as ENERGY STAR and Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) are encouraging energy
efficiency in homes. More stringent state building energy
codes have contributed to the rise of residential energy
efficiency, according to the U.S. Department of Energy,
which cited that more new homes are being constructed
to meet the targets of energy efficiency programs. Nearly
50 percent of all home buyers cite energy efficiency as
a primary consideration in home purchasing decisions,
reports the National Association of Realtors.
Realtor.com, in its 2015 Housing Forecast, predicts that
Millennials will account for 65 percent of first-time home
buyer sales in 2015, as a growing economy increases
employment opportunities and low interest rates entice
new buyers to the market. Millennials are expected to drive
two-thirds of household formations over the next five years.
Sustainability and healthy living
poised for growth
Sustainable home improvements will be one of the fastest
growing market segments, according to the Joint Center
for Housing Studies at Harvard University. Demand for
products that promote energy efficiency and healthy living,
particularly those addressing indoor air quality, water
conservation, or products made from rapidly renewable or
recycled materials, will continue to grow.
Motivated by tax incentives for energy efficiency, more
consumers are investing in high-performance windows to
realize energy savings and lower utility bills, with growing
acceptance spurring manufacturers to expand their
product lines.
Energy efficient windows are the predominant window
being installed today. ENERGY STAR market share was
at 59 percent nationally in 2008, according to the U.S.
Department of Energy ENERGY STAR Program Windows,
Doors, and Skylights Draft Criteria and Analysis, and close
to 90 percent in the replacement market.
Effective January 1, 2016, more stringent energy
performance criteria for windows will take effect, pursuant
to the ENERGY STAR Version 6.0 Residential Windows,
Doors, and Skylights Specification released by the U.S. EPA.
Participants in a March survey conducted by the American
Institute of Architects expect interest in sustainable
design to grow in the coming years, identifying energy
efficiency (85 percent of respondents), healthy buildings
(60 percent), water efficiency (60 percent), and renewable
energy (44 percent) among the top three priorities of
clients in five to ten years.
