Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Gibraltar Industries Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] I will now turn the call over to your host for today, Mr. David Calusdian of the Investor Relations firm, Sharon Merrill. Please proceed.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. If you have not received a copy of the earnings press release that was issued this morning, you can find it in the Investor Info section of the Gibraltar website, gibraltar1.com. During the prepared remarks today, management will be referring to presentation slides that summarize the company's fourth quarter and full year 2013 performance. These slides also are posted to the company's website. Please turn to Slide #2 in the presentation. Gibraltar's earnings release and this morning's slide presentation both contain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of GAAP to adjusted measures have been appended to the earnings release. Additionally, the company's remarks contain forward-looking statements about future financial results. The company's actual results may differ materially from the anticipated events, performance or results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Gibraltar advises you to read the risk factors detailed in its SEC filings, which can be also accessed through the company's website. On our call this morning are Gibraltar's Chairman and CEO, Brian Lipke; and its Chief Financial Officer, Ken Smith. At this point, I'll turn the call over to Brian.

Thanks, David. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us on our call today. I'm going to start off with some highlights on our business for the fourth quarter of 2013 and the full year. Following that, I'll turn the call over to Ken Smith, who will review our financial results in greater detail and provide some background information and guidance relative to 2014. Then I'll close our prepared remarks with some thoughts on the year ahead, and at that point, we'll open the call to any questions that any of you may have. With that, I'll ask you to turn to Slide #3 in our presentation titled Overview. Gibraltar concluded 2013 with a solid growth and profitability momentum in the fourth quarter. Our fourth quarter and full year adjusted results surpassed last year's results and exceeded the high end of our most recent guidance. Net sales for the fourth quarter were up 9% from the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full year, net sales increased 5% to $828 million. Gibraltar's out-performance versus our guidance for the fourth quarter was driven by organic growth. This was noteworthy as it was accomplished in the absence of overall end-market improvement. On the bottom line, our adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter increased 60% from Q4 of 2012 to $0.08 per share. For the full year, adjusted EPS grew 6% to $0.69 per share. And 2013 was another strong year for free cash flow at 5.5% of revenues or $1.46 per share, positioning the balance sheet with almost $1 million of cash at the end of the year. The earnings improvement this quarter was driven by initiatives we've undertaken during the past 2 years to strengthen the performance of our business. As a result, although end-market conditions stayed basically flat year-over-year,…

Thanks, Brian, and good morning. I'll turn to Slide #4 titled Gibraltar Year-Over-Year. First, I'll remind you that I'll be discussing adjusted income and margins, excluding special and nonroutine transactions. So starting with the consolidated fourth quarter results and comparisons. Revenues increased on the strength of acquisition-related growth, while businesses we owned in both quarters experienced a 3% increase in revenues. Company-wide, the 3% organic increase was the net result of increased unit volume in both segments. And I'll provide more color on the relative strength of market conditions while I discuss each segment. The fourth quarter's adjusted operating margin decreased slightly by 40 basis points, the net result of a 20 bps increase in consolidated gross margin led by gains in our Residential Products segment, offset by higher SG&A as a percent of sales primarily related to equity compensation recorded at corporate expenses. The EPS improvement from last year's $0.05 per share to the $0.08 this quarter resulted from a $0.05 increase from residential new construction volume and the efficiencies in our West Coast residential business plus a $0.02 improvement on lower interest expense resulting from our successful refinancing of notes in January of 2013 and a $0.01 increase from a lower income tax rate. And these 3 increases were partially offset by a $0.03 decline in lower sales from residential repair and remodeling, which was in line with the reduced reroofing activity; a $0.01 decline from the Industrial & Infrastructure Products segment related to pricing; and lastly, a $0.01 decline from variable compensation expense. Now the full year results and comparisons on Slide 4. Full year revenues increased on the contribution of acquired businesses, the largest of which was purchased in the fourth quarter of 2012. Businesses we owned in both periods experienced a 2% decrease, which was…

Thanks, Ken. Before we open the call to your questions I wanted to comment on 2014, referencing Slide 10 entitled Summary. 2013 was Gibraltar's third straight year of improved performance both on the top and bottom lines, as well as from cash perspective. As reflected in the guidance that Ken just outlined, our goal is to exceed this record in 2014. Our highest near-term priority is organic growth. The industry indexes have been up and down during the course of the past year. But in general, they point to varying degrees of improvement across our end-market spectrum. Our optimism about the outlook also reflects the success we're seeing in our internal growth initiatives, which we believe will help drive our sales regardless of the swings in end-market activity. In our Residential Products segments, the leading indicators for new housing construction and repair and remodeling point to a year of favorable end-market conditions. While we're starting 2014 at a relatively slow pace given the cold and harsh weather in much of the country since the new year, we believe the U.S. housing market will continue its long-term recovery as the year progresses. Also, severe weather conditions generally drives the need for a higher level of repair and maintenance for our residential building products. We expect to quickly put the weather-related issues behind us and resume building residential momentum as we did last year. The outlook for sustained growth in markets served by our Industrial & Infrastructure Products segment is not quite as clear. First, while the need to repair and replace our aging bridge stock in the U.S. is very clear, we're facing the renewal of the federal transportation funding in the U.S. that Ken discussed, which until a new bill is put in place will alter the planning process for…

[Operator Instructions] Our first question is coming from Josh Chan of Robert W. Baird. Joshua K. Chan - Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, Research Division: You mentioned the very strong performance in the postal business, and I was just wondering how you are thinking about the growth profile forward in this business because on the one hand, you have an improving new construction market and this drive towards efficiency, but on the other hand, the end customer is probably in somewhat of a distressed situations. So I was wondering how you think about the growth looking forward?

I think your questions were primarily focused on the single-family mailbox, if I understood your question well. And I think the key thing to note there is we're producing $4 million to $4.5 million to $5 million mailbox units per year, each and every year. So clearly, that market is not driven by new construction. It's driven more by replacement of existing products. And that's been a consistent pattern for many, many years. So we're expecting that to stay consistent as it has been throughout this entire downturn in the housing market.

And also, there's sustaining legs to the postal authorities' initiatives to reduce their cost of delivery. So whether they're converting commercial mail delivery points or continued residential, single and multi-family, I think that's still quite a bit of single-point deliveries that the postal authorities would like to reduce. So I think that's going to be a continuing trend of advantages. Joshua K. Chan - Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, Research Division: All right. That's good to hear. And if I switch over to the Industrial segment, you did a good job describing the dynamics at the infrastructure side. But I was wondering what you're seeing in terms of the industrial products, what's your visibility towards this kind of improving demand in the second half. Is there anything you can tell us from quoting activities or things like that, that kind of show you that things can improve in the second half?

Well, our Industrial business has not benefit largely from our backlog, whereas our transportation products do benefit from our backlog because of the long lead times to build and fulfill the order. So we don't have a backlog statistics to be able to guide us on our expectations for second half '14 improvement. But judging from public remarks and econometric expectations and forecasts, that will give us anticipated expectations that we're going to be improving forward demand and cost and markets. And we're certainly seeing an uptick in GDP in Europe after years of negative GDP here in the U.S. There continues to be bright spots in the automotive. Manufacturing seems to have a stronger base including in-sourcing. It's coming back from offshore. So I'd say there are more anecdotal points and references that suggest that we could benefit from a second half improvement.

There are things like what appears to be a growing sentiment in favor of launching the Keystone Pipeline and other projects of that nature, all -- any of which could have a meaningful improvement in our industrial product sales as well. So there are growing signs that more larger-term projects will be freed up this year than in 2013, which gives us hope for greater sales in the second half of the year. Joshua K. Chan - Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, Research Division: Okay. That makes sense. And lastly, you mentioned that you have $200 million to $300 million of capacity, but then I think I saw that you're also taking up your CapEx by $10 million next year. Could you sort of reconcile those 2 comments?

The increased CapEx is directed to replacement as there's a fair amount of replacement of equipment in our remaining manufacturing capacity that needs to be replaced since we have machines [indiscernible] through effective pre-maintenance programs are in need of replacement to keep their tolerances and particularly for some exacting specs that we have for many of our customers. So there's another significant portion of the increased CapEx for new products. Not only we have new products being developed in our postal product category, but there are other categories where we are changing metallurgy and styling and functionality that help our customers' demands. So I'd say that increases split almost evenly between those 2 categories of replacement and new products.

Our next question is coming from Ken Zener of KeyBanc Capital Markets.

I do appreciate your segment information, as well as the prompt quarterly historical. Could you kind of just talk about how you got to that decision if it was of your own volition? And then if you can just broadly talk about kind of the upside and downside within your guidance within the Res and the Industrial segment, please?

Ken's going to provide a more fulsome discussion on this, but I can tell you that it was completely of our own volition. We decided that it would help our shareholders understand the business better if we segment it along these lines, more -- giving a fuller description of residential and then separating out the industrial and the infrastructure, which we feel pretty much go hand in hand with one another. And most of the trends that one of those business experience, so does the other. So we made that decision fully and completely on our own and hope -- and I'm glad to hear you appreciate it and that the investors and the analysts appreciate this effort on our part.

And I will just supplement that by saying increasingly, we're looking at how we deploy new capital to each of these 2 categories, products and markets served. So I would say there's been a growing trend inside Gibraltar as to how we evaluate performance and the allocation of new capital to keep these businesses -- these 2 categories of segments growing. So all of that contributes to what Brian said in reaching this decision to bifurcate the business for your understanding. Part B of your question was the upside and downside. Are you going to forgo that?

Right, by segment. I mean, it's a big range there that you have. And obviously, now that we have segment data, we can get a better understanding of how you're thinking about it and model that. I mean, is it based -- is your range based on a back half recovery in industrial being stronger or is it really residential? I mean, how should we think about that?

I'd say -- I'll start with the Industrial & Infrastructure Products segment. I do -- the lower side of that range anticipates a more modest recovery in the second half of 2014, where our other -- where the markets don't restore themselves in any meaningful way or -- and/or we're not able to secure as much orders as we want or become available for transportation infrastructure products. Over on the Residential Products segment, I'd say the lower end of the range will be influenced by making no change in residential repair and remodeling activity. So you don't have any improvement.

And that would bring us to the 4% top line that would translate to the lower end of the range as opposed to 7%, which is the higher end?

Yes, which was our consolidated percentages.

Correct, correct. And then I guess the operating leverage, now that we have your segments, could you describe how you would like us to think about operating leverage within Residential and the Industrial & Infrastructure? I mean, should that be -- both of them falling through that, say -- I believe, 30% range that you've talked about or is there some impacts that we should be sensitive to? West Coast Restructuring benefiting Residential more, for example?

Well, I would -- for Residential Products, I would say their contribution margin there is probably on or around 30% for -- if all products rose and fell by the same degrees. And over Industrial & Infrastructure Products, I'd say the contribution margin there is in the 25% to 30%, again, assuming all proportionate sub-families change in the same degree, up or down.

Right. And then the last question, I do appreciate this, but your reporting certainly helps us understand the business better today. Your 4% to 7% revenue growth includes what component of price?

I would say it's very little to none improvement.

Our next question comes from Robert Kelly of Sidoti & Company. Robert J. Kelly - Sidoti & Company, LLC: Question on the full year adjusted operating margin for Residential Products. Almost 10% in 2013. Is there some sort of outsize benefit from mix in 2013 results?

No, I would say not. We have had an acceleration of postal products, which are among the higher-margin generating areas of the business, but we also saw somewhat of a slight decline in some of our roofing products that also carry similar margin. So there was an offset there, but one -- there was no outstanding glaring addition that shapes that 10% outcome. We've been focused on taking steps to reduce our costs, drive efficiencies, streamline our operations, all in an effort to move those products to 10% or better. And I think a lot of the actions that we've taken over the last couple of years rose to the top in 2013, and we're expecting to be able to push that higher as we go forward.

Just to tag onto that answer, Robert, besides the sales dynamics that Brian described inside our Residential Products segment, the West Coast-based operation, which has been restructured over the last couple of years had a notable improvement in their efficiencies and moving forward on operational excellence. So that contributed to the margin -- also contributed to the margin improvement for 2013. Robert J. Kelly - Sidoti & Company, LLC: Sure, sure. So you've done a lot of work over the past 5 or 6 years to get the margins up across both businesses. And we really haven't had a measurable improvement of demand. Here you are in 2013 with the 10% adjusted op margin for the segment and a couple of hundred million dollars in excess capacity. If we are to fill that, is Residential a mid-teen operating margin business normalized?

You took Brian's breath away. It's certainly going to be moving in that direction.

I think we could get into certainly low double digit as a midterm target. Robert J. Kelly - Sidoti & Company, LLC: Sure, sure, okay. So as far as the normalized target for Industrial & Infrastructure, a little bit less of a contribution margin. But price and mix, I think, you have upside there. What is the normalized target for Industrial & Infrastructure as you see it?

I would like to think that we could get into the 9%, 10% range, particularly with infrastructure transportation funding a lot more liberated by the funding sources at the state and federal levels.

Keep in mind, our long-term target, and we talked about this for a number of years, was to get to the whole company, including corporate costs, to a 10% operating margin arena. And we're continuing to stay focused on that. Robert J. Kelly - Sidoti & Company, LLC: Right, understood, understood. Switching over to free cash flow. Another strong free cash flow year in 2013. You're stepping up your CapEx in 2014, but your profitability should improve. Do you want to help us with a goal for percent of sales for free cash flow in '14?

I thought we're on 4.5% in one of our slides. Yes, on Slide 8 of our presentation this morning, the bottom row, our target for 2014 is 4.5% of revenues. Robert J. Kelly - Sidoti & Company, LLC: Okay. Great. And then just one final one on the Industrial outlook. You alluded to some pipeline expansion opportunities there. How far off is that work and how far off are -- I think the question I'm trying to ask is, how long before you start to feel the orders should that work start to move forward? What's the lag time for your Industrial business in the oil and gas arena?

Well, there was a little headwind that got reported yesterday. Apparently, a judge somewhere in Nebraska or one of the Midwestern -- Upper Midwestern states declared unconstitutional the regulation or law that were going to permit the Keystone Pipeline to come down through that state. So I think there's going to be some regulatory wrangling until the final approval of that pipeline occurs. But I would imagine if it were to occur today, if approved, by the time it's constructed, it could benefit some of our grating products in 6 to 9 months, 10 months out of approval.

A lot of our products are used for a pipeline-type activity or even mining in the early phases of construction. Many times, the bar grating products are used for -- you can imagine, it's been probably pretty muddy and difficult to move around, and what they actually do is lay bar grating down on the ground for roads. So in the early stages, we could expect to feel that. Keep in mind, too, we made an acquisition of a company in that part of the country, Edvan Industries, a couple of years ago. And we're optimistic that if something like this could start, they will be an early-stage beneficiary. Robert J. Kelly - Sidoti & Company, LLC: Great. And just based on that lag, given the second half optimism that industrial turns around, are there projects now moving forward that you're expecting to get orders from in a couple quarters? Or can you just talk about your expectations there?

Yes. We have 2 main channels that we put our Industrial Products through. One is through distribution channel. And they buy based on -- they buy in large quantities from us, break them down into small quantities and sell them as demand comes in. The other side of that is our fabricated industrial products where we get quotes from end users who are either upgrading equipment in their plant, building new plants, oil and gas and mining operations of all sorts where they have a configured structure that they are looking for and we quote on those. We've seen more quoting activity. However, the release of the projects is still relatively slow. But an improvement in quoting activity is generally considered to be a precursor of -- or foreshadowing of more activity. We've seen that again. Robert J. Kelly - Sidoti & Company, LLC: Sure, sure. That's an encouraging development for that elsewhere in my coverage. So when did the improved quoting activity began, just to kind of give us a timeline?

Actually, we started seeing that in the third, coming into the fourth quarter of 2013.

[Operator Instructions] Our next question is coming from Seth Yeager of Jefferies.

Can you give us a sense of the backlogs for your infrastructure projects sitting today? And what is the total exposure to Europe at this point? The last I recall is around $50 million in revenue. How are you seeing demand there? And could that market be a tailwind for you guys in the coming year?

Yes. Part 1, the backlogs for infrastructure is approximately $45 million at the moment. And regarding European, I think I forgot the question.

What's the percentage of our total sales.

The percentage of sales, it's about 5%, 5%, 6%. It wasn't [indiscernible] geography [indiscernible].

That's an important distinction that Ken just made. Sales from locations in Europe, either 5% or 6%. But we sold products in 50 countries last year, on 6 different continents. So our international sales are not significant. I think, in total, including that 5% or 6%, it's about 10% of total sales outside of the United States. But get excited because it points to the fact that we can be competitive on a worldwide basis with any of our products.

Yes, I know, absolutely. And with the U.S. seemingly chugging along here fairly well, how are you seeing demand just generally speaking at the U.S. at this point?

Well, Europe specifically, it's starting to pick up. So particularly across automotive and security applications and projects. So we are hopeful that the economy heals in both the U.K. and on the continent that, that will continue to add some strength for demand.

Okay. And then just it looks like your estimate of range of free cash flow, right around $40 million or so, just at the midpoint of your guidance. You mentioned a focus on organic growth, spending a little more on CapEx this year. Can you talk about M&A just as the use of cash that's being generated? And I guess where do you stand in terms of maybe releveraging the balance sheet a little bit? And if I recall, your target leverage historically was at times is around 3, 3.5 turns. Is that still sort of where you stand today?

Yes. I would say [indiscernible] for the right strategic acquisitions, we think we could stay underneath, at or beneath that target level. Of course, today, we're -- net leverage itself at 2, 2x. So...

So it gives us the room to increase our capital expenditures and to participate actively and fairly aggressively in the acquisition arena. But after having used that term aggressively, I want to be clear, we've established very clear characteristics for any acquisition that we want to make both in terms of how they fit in with our current operations and also a very detailed set of financial performance metrics that we apply to every acquisition candidate. So while we have the wherewithal to get aggressive and plan to, we're still going to be very systematic in how we evaluate any acquisition opportunities. And a key focus has got to be that acquisitions have -- not only will be immediately accretive to our earnings per share but also have a longer-term growth potential and that we have a host of identified operating synergies that we can extract beginning day 1 once we've acquired that business. So we've got an enhanced set of criteria that we use when we're looking at acquisitions. So we've got the wherewithal. We've got a set pattern and a set template that we use to evaluate each acquisition. But clearly, we stepped up the funding of capital projects inside the business, and we're going to use our available cash to go out and look for acquisitions as well.

At this time, I will turn the floor back over to Mr. Lipke for any closing comments.

Thank you all for participating in the call today. We look forward to getting back together with you again at the end of our closing quarter and being able to report improving results as we look forward. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your participation. This does conclude today's teleconference. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and have a wonderful day.
