These slides and the accompanying oral discussion may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from the results expressed or implied, including:
downturns in the home repair and remodeling or the new construction end markets, or the economy or the availability of
consumer credit; competition from other exterior building products manufacturers and alternative building materials; changes
in the costs and availability of raw materials; consolidation and further growth of our customers; loss of, or a reduction in
orders from, any of our significant customers; inclement weather conditions; increases in union organizing activity and work
stoppages at our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers; our ability to employ, train and retain qualified personnel at a
competitive cost; claims arising from the operations of our various businesses prior to our acquisitions; products liability
claims, including class action claims, relating to the products we manufacture; loss of certain key personnel; interruptions in
deliveries of raw materials or finished goods; environmental costs and liabilities; inability to realize anticipated synergies and
cost savings with respect to acquisitions; manufacturing or assembly realignments; threats to, or impairments of, our
intellectual property rights; increases in fuel costs; material non-cash impairment charges; our significant amount of
indebtedness; covenants in the ABL Facility, the credit agreement governing our Senior Secured Term Loan Facility and the
indenture governing the 6.50% Senior Notes; limitations on our net operating losses and payments under the tax receivable
agreement to our current stockholders; failure to successfully consummate and integrate future acquisitions; actual or
perceived security vulnerabilities or cyberattacks on our networks; failure to effectively manage labor inefficiencies associated
with increased productions and new employees added to the company; failure to generate sufficient cash to service all of our
indebtedness and make capital expenditures; control by the CI Partnerships; failure to maintain effective internal controls over
financial reporting; and the risks set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Consequently such forward-looking statements should be regarded as the Company’s current plans, estimates and beliefs.
Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the
results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances

Second Quarter 2014 Highlights
• Net sales increase of 11.2% was due to the
acquisitions of Gienow and Mitten which
occurred in the second quarter of 2013, a slight
3.5% increase in U.S. single-family housing starts
and an increase in average selling prices in both
of our business segments.
• Gross margin expansion of 120 basis points
driven by increased average selling prices and
operating efficiency improvement in our U.S.
windows business partially offset by integration
and customer transition expenses related to the
consolidation of our Western Canadian windows
business.

• 7.3% increase in net sales due largely to higher average selling
prices, improved product mix, and a slight increase from the
acquisition of Gienow into our Western Canada business.
• Gross margin improved by 270 basis points driven by a 470 basis
point gross margin improvement in our U.S. business due to
improved pricing and product mix partially offset by gross margin
contraction in Western Canada due to near-term integration and
restructuring costs related to the consolidation of manufacturing
operations and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.
• SG&A expense increased by 6.2% which was attributed to the
increase in net sales of the segment. SG&A expense as a
percentage to net sales was 13.4% which is consistent with the
prior year of 13.6%.

• 14.4% increase in net sales due to the acquisition of Mitten
which was completed on May 31, 2013. Mitten favorably
impacted net sales by $20.6 million for the quarter. Organic
net sales increased 4.1% due to increased sales of metal
accessories and higher selling prices.
• Gross margin declined by 50 basis points, driven by higher
raw material costs and freight costs not yet offset by our
recently announced selling price increases partially offset by
cost savings/synergies experienced by Mitten.
• SG&A expense increased by $4.9 million of which $4.3 million
is attributed to Mitten. Excluding Mitten, SG&A expense
increased 3.6% which is consistent with the net sales increase.
