BUFFALO, NY, January 31, 2023–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROCK), a leading manufacturer and supplier of products and services to the renewable energy, residential, agtech and infrastructure markets, has announced today that it will record a fourth quarter 2022 non-cash charge estimated at $14 million, or $0.35 per share, to write down assets associated with its process equipment business, which was listed as held for sale as of March 31, 2022, at estimated fair market value. As a result, the company now expects GAAP earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 to be in the range of $2.50 to $2.60, down from the estimated range. earlier from $2.90 to $3.00. The revenue range of $1.38 billion to $1.43 billion and the Adjusted EPS range of $3.30 to $3.40 for the year ended December 31, 2022 are unaffected by the impairment.
President and CEO Bill Bosway said, “Depressed market momentum for cannabis and hemp processing equipment has led us to pursue the divestiture of these assets. As we continue our efforts to sell this business, we have determined that its estimated fair market value is lower than its book value, and therefore, we will support the adjustment from book value to estimated market value. We continue to focus on our core Agtech greenhouse solutions that support our growers in the agricultural, commercial and cannabis markets.

Adjusted financial measures
To supplement Gibraltar’s consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Gibraltar has also discussed certain adjusted financial measures in this press release, including adjusted earnings per share (EPS), a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EPS excludes special charges consisting of restructuring costs primarily associated with 80/20 simplification or relief initiatives, senior management transition costs, acquisition-related costs, operating losses generated by our processing business which has been classified as held for sale with other adjustments to other income below operating profit. These special charges are excluded as they cannot be considered directly related to the ongoing business activities of the Company. The adjusted measures exclude the results of the processing activity since it was classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2022. The results of the processing activity are considered non-recurring due to the commitment of the Company during the first quarter of 2022 in a plan to sell the Processing business. When evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of its operating performance. The Company believes that the presentation of results excluding these items provides investors with meaningful supplemental data that is indicative of the Company’s key operating results and facilitates comparison of results of operations between reporting periods as well as comparison with other operating results. other companies.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures related to the full year 2022 guidance have not been provided due to the unreasonable effort it would take to provide such reconciliations due to the high variability, complexity and uncertainty regarding the forecasting and quantification of certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.
