***Products and Services***

Historically, the Company's product lines have encompassed connectors, anchors, fasteners, lateral-force resisting systems, and truss plates, as well as repair and strengthening product lines for the industrial and transportation markets. See "Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and "Note 19 — Segment Information" to the Company's consolidated financial statements for financial information regarding revenues by product category. The Company has established a presence in Europe through acquisition of companies with existing customer bases and through servicing United States ("U.S.")-based customers operating in Europe. The Company also distributes connector, anchor, and adhesive products in Canada, Mexico, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand.

Many of the Company's products are code-listed with code reports issued by building code evaluation agencies. To achieve these code reports, the Company conducts extensive product testing, which is witnessed and certified by independent testing laboratories. These tests also provide the basis of load ratings for the Company's structural products. This test and load information is used by architects, engineers, contractors, building officials, and homeowners in selecting our products and comparing them to those of competitors, and is useful across all applications of the Company's products, ranging from the wood deck constructed by a homeowner to a multi-story steel structure designed by an architect or engineer.

*Structural Products for Wood Construction.* The Company produces and markets over 16,000 standard and custom products for wood construction applications. These products are used primarily to strengthen, support and connect wood applications in residential and commercial construction and do-it-yourself ("DIY") projects. The Company's wood construction products contribute to structural integrity and resistance to seismic, wind and gravitational forces. As described below, the Company's wood construction products include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Connectors* - Connectors are prefabricated metal products designed to join wood, concrete, masonry or steel together and are essential for tying wood construction elements together and creating safer and stronger buildings. Included in this category are connectors, holddowns, and truss connector plates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Fasteners* - The fastening line includes variety of nails and screws which are complemented by the Company's multiple screw fastening systems, which are used exclusively in numerous applications such as building envelope applications, decking, subfloors, drywall and roofing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Lateral-Force Resisting Systems* - Lateral-force resisting systems are assemblies used to resist earthquake or wind forces and include pre-fabricated steel and wood shearwalls, continuous rod tiedown systems, and wall bracing solutions.

*Structural Products for Concrete Construction.* The Company produces and markets over 3,000 standard and custom products for concrete construction applications. These products are composed of various materials including steel, chemicals and carbon fiber. They are used primarily to anchor, protect and strengthen concrete, brick and masonry applications in residential, commercial and DIY projects. The Company's product solutions for concrete construction applications contribute to structural integrity and resistance to seismic, wind and gravitational forces.

Many dealer customers currently purchase the Company's connectors, and the Company intends to expand penetration within these accounts by increasing adoption of additional product lines, including anchors and fasteners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Home Centers.* The Company intends to increase penetration of the DIY and contractor customer markets by continuing to expand its product offerings through home centers. The Company's sales force maintains ongoing contact with home centers to work with them in a broad range of areas, including inventory levels, retail display maintenance and product knowledge training. The Company's strategy is to ensure that the home center retail stores are fully stocked with adequate supplies of the Company's products carried by those stores. The Company has further developed extensive bar coding and merchandising aids and has devoted a portion of its research and development efforts to DIY products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Wood Component Manufacturers.* The Company works directly with wood component manufacturer customers and intends to further increase penetration in this market. The Company continues to expand its portfolio of software, equipment, and technology-enabled solutions designed to support component manufacturing operations, which in turn drive increased adoption of truss connector plates as well as other Simpson Strong-Tie core products within the component industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *OEM Relationships.* The Company works closely with manufacturers of engineered wood, composite laminated timber and OEMs for off-site construction to develop and expand the application and sales of its engineered wood connector, fastener, anchor, and truss products. The Company has relationships with many of the leaders in these industries. The Company also intends to expand opportunities with other OEMs where its products complement their offerings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Distributors.* The Company regularly evaluates its distribution coverage and the service level provided by its distributors, and from time to time implement changes. The Company evaluates distributors' product mix and conducts promotions to encourage them to add the Company's products that complement the mix of their product offerings in their markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Contractors.* In some markets, the Company sells to a wide range of end customers (contractors) mainly through direct sales.

***New Products***

In order to innovate, advance and diversify our product offerings, the Company commits substantial resources to new product development. The majority of our products have been developed through its internal research and development team. The Company believes it is the only U.S. manufacturer with the capability to internally test multi-story wall systems, thus enabling full scale testing rather than analysis alone to prove system performance. The Company's engineering, sales, product management, and marketing teams work together with architects, engineers, building inspectors, code officials, builders and customers in the new product development process.

------

The Company's product research and development is based largely on products or solutions that are identified within the Company, feedback or requests from customers for new or specialty products or in connection with the Company's strategic initiatives to expand into new markets and/or develop new product lines. The Company's strategy is to develop new products on a proprietary basis, to seek patents when appropriate, and to rely on trade secret protection for others. Depending on availability and circumstances, the Company will acquire products or solutions meeting our strategic initiatives.

Since at least 2006, the Company generally develops 45 to 70 new products each year. In 2025, through our research and development efforts, the Company developed over 50 new products, expanding its product offerings by adding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new connectors and lateral products for wood framing applications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new connectors and fasteners for mass timber and offsite constructions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new fastener products and tools for wood construction; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new mechanical and adhesive anchors for concrete and masonry construction.

By executing on its research and development strategy, the Company intends to continue to expand its product offerings.

The Company provides expertise and resources to offer software solutions and services to builders and lumber building material dealers, and supports efforts to further develop integrated software component solutions for the building industry. The Company also continues to focus on the development of truss software for the design, modeling, and truss plate selection for its integrated component manufacturing customers.

***Competition***

Simpson is a category creator in the building products space. Its mission is to deliver innovative solutions that help people design and build safer, stronger structures. The Company's products improve the performance and integrity of the structures they are installed in, helping to make those structures more resilient and sustainable, and often helping to save lives in times of natural disasters and catastrophes.

Currently, in the U.S. 25 of the top 30 builders (based on number of housings starts per year) are engaged in our builder program.

The Company encounters a variety of competitors that vary by product line, end market, and geographic area. The Company's competitors include many regional or specialized companies, as well as large U.S. and non-U.S. companies or divisions of large companies. While we do not believe that any single company competes with us across all of our product lines and distribution channels, certain companies compete in one or more product categories and/or distribution channels.

Since 1956, through the Simpson Strong-Tie® brand, the Company has led the industry in the wood connectors products space and has a growing presence in both the concrete and fastener markets in the U.S. and Europe. The Company has successfully increased its market share over the years through:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• designing and marketing end-to-end construction product systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• product availability with delivery in typically 24 hours to 48 hours;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• strong customer support and education for engineers, builders, contractors and building officials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• extensive product testing capabilities at our state-of-the-art test lab;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• strong relationships with engineers that get our products specified on the blueprint and pulled through to the job site;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• strategic partnerships with builders that reinforce long-term supply relationships and drive demand across dealers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• active involvement with code officials to improve building codes and construction practices.

The Company believes these value-added services are competitive differentiators and provides the Company with a competitive advantage, helping it to achieve industry-leading margins, strong brand recognition and a trusted reputation. The Company also provides engineering services in support of some of our products and increasingly offers design and other software that facilitates the specification, selection and use of our products. The Company is also investing in software technology, such as 3D visualization software tools, truss design and specification software, Artificial Intelligence ("AI"), and construction-related software, in order to drive increased specification and use of our building material products with engineers, truss component manufacturers, builders, lumber dealers, and homeowners as well as to support our customers with additional solutions and services.

In an effort to help mitigate exposure to the cyclicality of the U.S. housing market as well as to respond to the needs of our customers, the Company has made investments over the years in adjacent products such as anchors, fasteners, and software solutions and expanded operations internationally into Europe. As a result, the Company is less dependent on U.S. housing starts, though they are still a leading indicator for a significant portion of the business.

**Resources**

***Raw Materials***

The principal raw material used by the Company is steel, including stainless steel. The Company also uses materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, mortars, grouts, epoxies and acrylics in the manufacture of its chemical anchoring and reinforcing products. The Company purchases raw materials from a variety of commercial sources. The Company's practice is to seek cost savings and enhanced quality by developing business relationships with and purchasing from a limited number of suppliers.

The Company purchases steel at market prices, which fluctuates as a result of supply and demand driven by prevailing economic conditions in the marketplace. The steel industry is highly cyclical and prices for the Company's raw materials are influenced by numerous factors beyond the Company's control including geopolitical and macroeconomic factors, supply constraints and supply chain disruptions, foreign currency fluctuations, import tariffs and duties, and unsettled international trade disputes. The steel market continues to be dynamic, with a high degree of uncertainty about future pricing trends. Numerous factors may cause steel prices to increase in the future. In addition to increases in steel prices, steel mills may impose surcharges for zinc, energy and freight in response to their rising costs. See "Item 1A — Risk Factors" and "Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company historically has not attempted to hedge against changes in prices of steel or other raw materials. However, the Company may purchase and carry more steel or other raw materials in inventory to meet projected sales demand in a tight raw materials market.

***Patents, Trademarks and Intellectual Property*** 

Generally, the Company seeks statutory protection for strategic or financially important intellectual property developed in connection with its business. Certain intellectual property, where appropriate, is protected by contracts, licenses, confidentiality or other agreements. From time to time, the Company takes action to protect its businesses by asserting its intellectual property rights against third-party infringers.

The Company's trademarks are registered or otherwise legally protected in the U.S. and many non-U.S. countries where products and services of the Company are sold. The Company may, from time to time, become involved in trademark licensing transactions. Most works of authorship produced for the Company, such as computer programs, catalogs and sales literature, carry appropriate notices indicating the Company's claim to copyright protection under U.S. law and appropriate international treaties.

The Company has U.S. and foreign patents, the majority of which cover products that the Company currently manufactures and markets. These patents, and applications for new and continuation patents, cover various design aspects of the Company's products, as well as processes used in their manufacture. The Company continues to develop new potentially patentable products, product enhancements and product designs as well as acquire patented products. The Company also seeks continuation patents for all pending patents, and it is dedicated to securing patents for any new developments. Although the Company does not have plans to apply for additional foreign patents covering existing products, the Company is committed to pursuing intellectual property protection for patentable enhancements as appropriate. The Company has developed an international patent program to protect any innovative new product that it may develop, ensuring its competitive advantage is safeguarded. In addition to seeking patent protection, the Company relies on unpatented proprietary technology to maintain its competitive position. See "Item 1A — Risk Factors."

While the Company believes its intellectual property portfolio is important to its business operations and in the aggregate constitutes a valuable asset, no single patent, trademark, license or other intellectual property, or group of such intellectual property, is critical to the success of the business or any segment.

**Seasonality and Cyclicality**

The Company's sales have historically been seasonal and cyclical, with operating results varying from quarter to quarter. Sales and income have typically been lower in the first and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters of a fiscal year, as customers generally purchase construction materials in the late spring and summer months for the construction season. In addition, weather conditions, such as extended periods of cold or wet weather, can delay installation of certain products and negatively affect the Company's results of operations. Operating results may also vary with broader economic cycles.

The Company's sales remain influenced, in part, by activity levels in the U.S. residential construction industry, with the North America Segment accounting for approximately 77.8% of net sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. However, the Company's efforts to diversify its end markets, geographic exposure, and product offerings have helped mitigate reliance on

------

housing starts and have softened the effects of seasonality and adverse weather on quarterly operating results. See "Item 1A — Risk Factors" and "Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

**Human Capital Resources**

Successful execution of the Company's strategy is largely dependent on attracting, developing and retaining key employees and leaders. The skills, experience, industry knowledge, and contributions of our employees significantly benefit our operations and performance. We continuously evaluate, modify, and enhance our internal programs, processes and technologies to increase employee engagement, productivity, and efficiency and provide the opportunities, skills, and resources they need to be successful.

As of December 31, 2025, our employees, including those employed by consolidated subsidiaries, by region were approximately:

---

***Talent Development***

The Company's commitment to talent development is fundamental to executing our strategy and advancing the development, manufacture, and marketing of innovative products and services. The opportunity to grow and develop skills and abilities, regardless of job role, division, or geographical location is critical to the success of the Company as a global organization. By investing in the Company's employees' continuous development, we create a culture where every employee can thrive and grow. We provide the tools, resources, and opportunities that empower our team to expand their skills, embrace new challenges, and drive our organization's success. We offer comprehensive global leadership development programs that provide leaders with the training, tools, and experiences necessary to develop their full leadership potential.

***Pay Equity***

The Company's compensation philosophy is to attract, retain, motivate, and differentiate employees through its rewards programs. We believe people should be paid for what they do and how they do it, regardless of their gender, race, or other personal characteristics, and we are committed to internal pay equity. The Board of Directors, through its Compensation and Leadership Development Committee, monitors the relationship between the pay received by our executive officers, and Human Resources evaluates the compensation program for executive officers. The Company's Human Resources department, along with senior management, evaluates the compensation received by all other employees. The Company's compensation philosophy and strategy are strongly aligned with its strategic priorities and its vision for shareholder value creation.

In addition to financial compensation, the Company offers a comprehensive health and wellness package to its employees which is designed to provide a range of options that can be personalized to suit their individual and/or family needs. As part of an ongoing commitment to attract, retain, and inspire our workforce in the United States, the Company provides remote and flexible work options for positions that support this approach. The Company regularly engages with its partners and benefits consultants to ensure its health and wellness package evolves to meet the needs of our diverse workforce both now and in the future.

***Workplace Safety and Health***

A vital part of our business is providing our workforce with a safe, healthy and sustainable working environment. Our Environmental, Health and Safety program focuses on implementing changes through employee observation feedback channels to recognize risk and continuously improve our processes, as well as conducting regular risk reviews and self-audits at our manufacturing facilities around the world to explore new opportunities to reduce potential employee exposure to occupational injuries. Our continuous focus on workplace safety has enabled us to preserve business continuity without sacrificing our commitment to keeping our colleagues and workplace visitors safe.

**Labor Relations**

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 19.4% of the Company's employees are represented by labor unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We have two U.S. facility locations with collective bargaining agreements covering tool and die craftsmen, maintenance workers, and sheet-metal workers. Furthermore, we have a U.S. facility with collective bargaining agreements covering warehouse workers. In Stockton, California, two union contracts will expire in June 2027 and September 2028, respectively. In Riverside, California, two union contracts will expire in June 2026 and March 2029, respectively. In Enfield, Connecticut, one union contract will expire in December 2029. The Company also has three collective bargaining agreements in France, one under the Convention collective nationale de la métallurgie, another under Plasturgie and a third under the Fédération Française du Bâtiment. Based on current information and subject to future events and circumstances, we believe that, even if new agreements are not reached before the existing labor union contracts expire, it is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to provide products to customers or on the Company's profitability. See "Item 1A — Risk Factors."

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

*Investing in the Company's common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the following discussion of the risks that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other information appearing in this report, for important information regarding risks that affect us. Current global economic events and conditions may amplify many of these risks. These risks are not the only risks that may affect us. Additional risks that we are not aware of or do not believe are material at the time of this filing, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business.*

**<u>Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry</u>**

**Business cycles and uncertainty regarding the housing market, economic conditions, political climate and other factors beyond our control could adversely affect demand for our products and services, and our costs of doing business, any of which may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.**

The primary drivers of our North America segment are U.S. housing starts, residential remodeling, and replacement activities. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, and results of operations depend significantly on the stability of the housing and residential construction and home improvement markets, which are affected by conditions and other factors that are beyond our control. These conditions include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainty about the housing and residential construction and home improvement markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consumer confidence and spending;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unemployment levels;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreclosure rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• raw material, logistics and energy costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• labor and healthcare costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• capital availability, or lack thereof, to builders, developers and consumers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unfavorable weather conditions and natural disasters; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• political or social instability, such as war, or acts of terrorism or other international incidents.

These factors could adversely affect demand for our products and services, and our costs of doing business, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed. Further, many of our customers in the construction industry are small and medium-sized businesses that are more likely to be adversely affected by economic downturns than larger, more established businesses. Uncertainty about current global economic conditions may cause these consumers to postpone or refrain from spending or may cause them to switch to lower-cost alternative products, which could reduce demand for our products and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

**We have a few large customers, the loss of any one of which could negatively affect our sales and profits.**

Our largest customers accounted for a significant portion of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. A reduction in, or elimination of, our sales to any of these customers would at least temporarily, and possibly on a longer term basis, cause a material reduction in our net sales, income from operations and net income. Such a reduction in or elimination of our sales to any of our largest customers would also increase our relative dependence on our remaining large customers.

In addition, our distributor customers and builders have increasingly consolidated over time, which has increased the material adverse effect risk of losing any one of them and may increase their bargaining power in negotiations with us. These trends could negatively affect our sales and profitability.

------

**Our growth may depend on our ability to develop new products and services and penetrate new markets, which could reduce our profitability.**

Our continued growth depends upon our ability to develop additional products, services, and technologies that meet our customers' expectations of our brand and quality and that allow us to enter into new markets. Expansion into new markets and the development of new products and services may involve considerable costs and may not generate sufficient revenue to be profitable or cover the costs of development. We might not be able to penetrate these product markets and any market penetration that occurs might not be timely or profitable. We may be unable to recoup part or all of the investments we make in attempting to develop new products and technologies and penetrate new markets. Any of these events could reduce our profitability.

**Increases in prices of raw materials and energy could negatively affect our sales and profits.**

Steel is the principal raw material used in the manufacture of many of our products. The price of steel has historically fluctuated on a cyclical basis and has often depended on a variety of factors over which we have no control including geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions and currency exchange rates. Import tariffs and/or other mandates also could significantly increase the prices of raw materials that are critical to our business, such as steel. In 2025, changes to tariffs on certain imported fastener and anchor products negatively impacted our cost structure, contributing to a decline in gross margin in the North America segment. The cost of producing our products is also sensitive to the price of energy.

The selling prices of our products have not always increased in response to raw material, energy or other cost increases, and we are unable to determine to what extent, if any, we will be able to pass future cost increases through to our customers. Increases in prices of raw materials and energy, our inability or unwillingness to pass increased costs through to our customers could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

**We face significant competition in the markets we serve and we may not be able to compete successfully.**

In order to compete effectively we must continue to develop enhancements to our existing products, new products and services on a timely basis that meet changing consumer preferences and successfully develop, manufacture and market these new products, product enhancements, additional technologies and services. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing and marketing new products, product enhancements, additional technologies and services. Many of our competitors are dedicating increasing resources to competing with us, especially as our products and services become more affected by technological advances and software innovations. Many of our competitors are also leveraging AI to improve product capabilities and operational efficiency, which could further intensify competition. Our inability to effectively compete could reduce the sales of our products and services, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Additionally, our ability to compete effectively in North America depends, to a significant extent, on the specification or approval of our products by architects, engineers, building inspectors, building code officials and customers and their acceptance of our premium brand. If a significant portion of those communities were to decide that the design, materials, manufacturing, testing or quality control of our products is inferior to that of any of our competitors or the cost differences between our products and any competitors are not justifiable, our sales and profits could be materially reduced.

**We depend on third parties for transportation services and the lack of availability of transportation and/or increases in cost could materially and adversely affect our business and operations.**

Our business depends on the transportation of both our products to our customers and distributors and the transportation of raw materials to us. We rely on third parties for transportation services of these items, which services are occasionally in high demand (especially at the end of calendar quarters) and/or subject to price fluctuations. Damage or disruption to our supply chain, including transportation and distribution capabilities, could impair our ability to manufacture or sell our products. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of disruptions, or to effectively manage such events if they occur could adversely affect our business or financial results.

If the required supply of transportation services is unavailable when needed, our manufacturing processes may be interrupted if we are not able to receive raw materials or we may be unable to sell our products at full value, or at all. This could harm our reputation, negatively impact our customer relationships and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a material increase in transportation rates or fuel surcharges could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

------

**Expectations relating to environmental, social and governance considerations expose the Company to potential liabilities, increased costs, reputational harm and other adverse effects on the Company's business.**

Many governments, regulators, investors, employees, customers and other stakeholders are increasingly focused on environmental, social and governance considerations relating to businesses, including climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, human capital and diversity, equity and inclusion. We make statements about our environmental, social and governance goals and initiatives through information provided on our website, press statements and other communications, including through our CSR Report. Responding to these environmental, social and governance considerations and implementation of these goals and initiatives involves risks and uncertainties, including those described under "Forward-Looking Statements," requires investments and are impacted by factors that may be outside our control. In addition, some stakeholders may disagree with our goals and initiatives, and the focus of stakeholders may change and evolve over time. Stakeholders also may have very different views on where environmental, social and governance focus should be placed, including differing views of regulators in various jurisdictions in which we operate. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to achieve our goals, further our initiatives, adhere to our public statements, comply with federal, state or international environmental, social and governance laws and regulations, or meet evolving and varied stakeholder expectations and standards could result in legal and regulatory proceedings against us and materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

**<u>Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Information Technology</u>**

**We have experienced and may in the future experience delays, outages, cyber-based attacks or security breaches in relation to our information systems and computer networks, which have disrupted and may in the future disrupt our operations and may result in data corruption. As a result, our profitability, financial condition and reputation could be negatively affected. In addition, data privacy statements and laws could subject us to liability.**

We depend on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information. We depend on our information technology infrastructure for electronic communications among our locations around the world and between our personnel and our subsidiaries, customers and suppliers. We collect and retain large volumes of internal and customer, vendor and supplier data, including some personally identifiable information, for business purposes. We also maintain personally identifiable information about our employees. The integrity and protection of our customer, vendor, supplier, employee and other Company data is critical to our business. The regulatory environment governing information, security and privacy laws is increasingly demanding and continues to evolve. Maintaining compliance with applicable security and privacy regulations may increase our operating costs or adversely affect our business operations.

Despite the security and maintenance measures we have in place, our facilities and systems, and those of the retailers, dealers, licensees and other third-parties with which we do business, we remain vulnerable to security breaches, cyber-attacks, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, malware, data corruption, delays, disruptions, programming and/or human errors or other similar events, such as those accomplished through fraud, trickery or other forms of deceiving our employees, contractors or other agents or representatives and those due to system updates, natural disasters, malicious attacks, accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of terrorism or war, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar events. Such incidents have occurred, continue to occur, and may occur in the future.

Security breaches of our infrastructure could create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosures of confidential information. Despite the security measures we have in place, our facilities and systems, and those of the retailers, dealers, licensees and other third parties with which we do business, we may be vulnerable to security breaches, cyber-attacks, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors or other similar events. Such incidents may involve misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential data, materials or information, including those concerning our customers, employees or suppliers, whether by us or by the retailers, dealers, licensees and other third-party distributors with which we do business, disrupt our operations, result in losses, damage our reputation, and expose us to the risks of litigation and liability (including regulatory liability); and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

**Our recent efforts to increase our technology offerings and integrate new software and application offerings may prove unsuccessful and may affect our future prospects.**

In North America the residential construction industry has experienced increased complexity in some home designs and builders are more aggressively trying to reduce their costs. One of our responses has been to develop and market sophisticated software and applications to facilitate the specification, selection and use of our product systems. We have continued to commit substantial resources to our software development endeavors in recent years and expect that trend to continue.

------

We may not be able to create and further develop commercially successful software and applications. Even if we are able to create and develop initially successful ideas, the technology industry is subject to rapid changes. We may not be able to adapt quickly enough to keep up with changing demands, and our software may become obsolete.

While we see having a software interface with the construction industry as a potential growth area, we also face competition from other companies that are focused solely or primarily on the development of software and applications. These companies may have significantly greater expertise and resources to devote to software development, and we may be unable to compete with them in that space.

**If we cannot protect our intellectual property, we will not be able to compete effectively.**

We monitor and protect against activities that might infringe, dilute, or otherwise harm our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property and rely on the patent, trademark and other laws of the U.S. and other countries. However, we may be unable to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property without our authorization. To the extent we cannot protect our intellectual property, unauthorized use and misuse of our intellectual property could harm our competitive position and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the laws of some non-U.S. jurisdictions provide less protection for our proprietary rights than the laws of the U.S. and we therefore may not be able to effectively enforce our intellectual property rights in these jurisdictions. If we are unable to maintain certain exclusive licenses, our brand recognition and sales could be adversely impacted. Current employees, contractors and suppliers have, and former employees, contractors and suppliers may have, access to trade secrets and confidential information regarding our operations which could be disclosed improperly and in breach of contract to our competitors or otherwise used to harm us.

Third parties may also claim that we are infringing upon their intellectual property rights. If we are unable to successfully defend or license such alleged infringing intellectual property or if we are required to substitute similar technology from another source, our operations could be adversely affected. Even if we believe that such intellectual property claims are without merit, defending such claims can be costly, time consuming and require significant resources. Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require us to redesign affected products, pay costly damage awards, or face injunctions prohibiting us from manufacturing, importing, marketing or selling certain of our products. Even if we have agreements to indemnify us, indemnifying parties may be unable or unwilling to do so.

**We are subject to cyber security risks and may incur increasing costs in efforts to minimize those risks and to comply with regulatory standards.**

We employ information technology systems and operate websites which allow for the secure storage and transmission of proprietary or confidential information regarding our customers, employees and others. We make significant efforts to secure our computer network to mitigate the risk of possible cyber-attacks, including, but not limited to, data breaches, and are continuously working to upgrade our existing information technology systems to ensure that we are protected, to the greatest extent possible, against cyber risks and security breaches. Despite these efforts security of our computer networks could be compromised which could impact operations and confidential information could be misappropriated, which could lead to negative publicity, loss of sales and profits or cause us to incur significant costs to reimburse third- parties for damages, which could adversely impact profits.

We strive to comply with all applicable laws, policies, legal obligations and industry codes of conduct relating to privacy and data protection. However, we continue to see increasingly complex, rigorous and more stringent regulatory standards enacted to protect businesses and personal data. In the United States, we are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, "CCPA"), which grants California residents significant rights over their personal information and imposes substantial compliance obligations on covered businesses. Numerous other states—including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Tennessee and others—have enacted comprehensive privacy laws with varying requirements, and additional states continue to consider similar legislation. This patchwork of state laws creates compliance complexity and increases the risk of inadvertent violations. Certain state laws, including the CCPA, provide for statutory damages and private rights of action in connection with data breaches, which could expose us to significant liability. Internationally, we are subject to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the UK GDPR and other data protection regimes that impose strict requirements on the processing of personal data and provide for substantial fines for non-compliance. Cross-border data transfers are subject to evolving legal requirements, and mechanisms we rely on to transfer data internationally may be challenged or invalidated, which could disrupt our operations or require us to implement costly alternative arrangements. Any failure to comply with GDPR, the CCPA, or other domestic or international regulatory standards, could subject the Company to legal and reputational risks. Misuse of or failure to secure personal information could also result in violation of data privacy laws and regulations, proceedings against us by governmental

------

entities or others, damage to our reputation and credibility, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We publicly post our privacy policies and practices concerning our processing, use, and disclosure of personally identifiable information on our websites. If we fail to adhere to our privacy policy and other published statements or applicable laws concerning our processing, use, transmission and disclosure of protected information, or if our statements or practices are found to be deceptive or misrepresentative, we could face regulatory actions, fines and other liabilities.

**We rely on complex software systems and hosted applications to operate our business, and our business may be disrupted if we are unable to successfully and efficiently update these systems or convert them to new systems.**

We are increasingly dependent on technology systems to operate our business, reduce costs, and enhance customer service. These systems include complex software systems and hosted applications that are provided by third parties such as financial management and human capital management platforms from SAP America, Inc. and Workday, Inc. Software systems need to be updated on a regular basis with patches, bug fixes and other modifications. Hosted applications are subject to service availability and reliability of hosting environments. We also migrate from legacy systems to new systems from time to time. Maintaining existing software systems, implementing upgrades and converting them to new systems are costly and require a significant allocation of personnel and other resources. The implementation of these systems upgrades and conversions is a complex and time-consuming project involving substantial expenditures for implementation activities, consultants, system hardware and software, often requires transforming our current business and financial processes to conform to new systems, and therefore, may take longer, be more disruptive, and cost more than forecast and may not be successful. If the implementation is delayed or otherwise is not successful, it may hinder our business operations and negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. There are many factors that may materially and adversely affect the schedule, cost, and execution of the implementation process, including, without limitation, problems during the design and testing phases of new systems; system delays and malfunctions; the deviation by suppliers and contractors from the required performance under their contracts with us; the diversion of management attention from our daily operations to the implementation project; reworks due to unanticipated changes in business processes; difficulty in training employees in the operation of new systems and maintaining internal control while converting from legacy systems to new systems; and integration with our existing systems. Some of such factors may not be reasonably anticipated or may be beyond our control.

**Some of our agreements for software and software-as-services products have limited terms, and we may be unable to renew such agreements and may lose access to such products.**

We have various agreements with a number of third parties that provide software and software-as-a-service products to us. These agreements often require reoccurring payments for online access to the products and have limited terms. In the future, we will be required to renegotiate the terms of these agreements, and may be unable to renew such agreements on favorable terms. If any such agreement cannot be renewed or can only be renewed on terms that are materially worse for us, we may be unable to access the applicable software, and our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

**<u>Risks Related to Our International Operations</u>**

**International operations and our financial results in those markets may be affected by legal, regulatory, political, currency exchange and other economic risks.**

During 2025, revenue from sales outside of the U.S. was $619.0 million, representing approximately 26.5% of consolidated sales. In addition, a portion of our manufacturing and production operations are located outside the U.S. As a result, our business is subject to risks and uncertainties associated with international operations, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties and costs associated with complying with a wide variety of complex and changing laws, including securities laws, tax laws, employment and pension-related laws, competition laws, U.S. and foreign export and trading laws, and laws governing improper business practices, treaties and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limitations on our ability to enforce legal rights and remedies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse domestic or international economic and political conditions, business interruption, war and civil disturbance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes to tax, currency, or other laws or policies that may adversely impact our ability to repatriate cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries, make cross-border investments, or engage in other intercompany transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential future or existing regulatory guidance and interpretations of the tax legislation, as well as any associated assumptions that the Company makes related to the change;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes to tariffs or other import or export restrictions, penalties or sanctions, including modification or elimination of international agreements covering trade or investment;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs and availability of shipping and transportation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• nationalization or forced relocation of properties by foreign governments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainty with respect to any potential changes to laws, regulations and policies that could exacerbate the risks described above.

All of these factors could result in increased costs or decreased revenues and could materially and adversely affect our sales, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, international construction standards, techniques and methods differ from those in the U.S. and as a result, we may need to redesign our products, or design new products, to compete effectively and profitably in international markets.

In addition, we operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption, and we could be adversely affected by violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and similar worldwide anti-corruption laws. The FCPA and similar anti-corruption laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Although we mandate compliance with these anti-corruption laws, we cannot provide assurance that these measures will necessarily prevent violations of these laws by our employees or agents. If we were found to be liable for violations of anti-corruption laws, we could be liable for criminal or civil penalties or other sanctions, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**If significant tariffs or other restrictions are placed on our imports or any related counter-measures are taken by other countries, our costs of doing business, revenue and results of operations may be negatively impacted.**

If significant tariffs or other restrictions are placed on Chinese or other imports or any related countermeasures are taken by China or other countries, our costs of doing business, revenue and results of operations may be materially harmed. If duties are imposed on our imports, we may be required to raise our prices, which may result in the loss of customers and harm our operating performance. Alternatively, we may seek to shift production outside of China, resulting in diversion of management's attention, significant costs and disruption to our operations as we would need to pursue the time-consuming processes of establishing a new supply chain, identifying substitute components and establishing new manufacturing locations.

**Failure to comply with export, import, and sanctions laws and regulations could materially and adversely affect us.**

We are subject to a number of export, import and economic sanction regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR"), the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR") and U.S. sanction regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets ("OFAC"). Foreign governments where we have operations also implement export, import and sanction laws and regulations, some of which may be inconsistent or conflict with ITAR and EAR. Where we face such inconsistencies, it may be impossible for us to comply with all applicable regulations.

If we do not obtain all necessary import and export licenses required by applicable export and import regulations, including ITAR and EAR, or do business with sanctioned countries or individuals, we may be subject to fines, penalties and other regulatory action by governmental authorities, including, among other things, having our export or import privileges suspended. Even if our policies and procedures for exports, imports and sanction regulations comply, our employees fail or neglect to follow them in all respects, we might incur similar liability.

Any changes in applicable export, import or sanction laws or regulations or any legal or regulatory violations could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

**Our manufacturing facilities in China complicate our supply and inventory management.**

We maintain manufacturing capability in various parts of the world, including Jiangsu, China, in part to allow us to serve our customers with prompt delivery of needed products. In recent years, we have significantly expanded our manufacturing capabilities in China. Substantially all of our manufacturing output in China was and is currently intended for export to other parts of the world. Any halting or disruption to our operations at or near our Jiangsu, China manufacturing facility could substantially interfere with our general commercial activity related to our supply chain and customer base, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects. In such event, we may need to seek alternative sources of supply for products for our customers, which may increase the costs to manufacture and deliver our products.

------

**We are subject to U.S. and international tax laws that could affect our financial results.**

We generally conduct international operations through our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our income tax liabilities in the different countries where we operate depend in part on internal settlement prices and administrative charges among us and our subsidiaries. These arrangements require us to make judgments with which tax authorities may disagree. Tax authorities may impose additional tariffs, duties, taxes, penalties and interest on us. Transactions that we have arranged in light of current tax rules could have material and adverse consequences if tax rules change, and changes in tax rules or imposition of any new or increased tariffs, duties and taxes could materially and adversely affect our sales, profits and financial condition.

Tax laws are dynamic and subject to change as new laws are passed and new interpretations are issued or applied. If the U.S. or other foreign tax authorities change applicable tax laws, our overall taxes could increase, and our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely impacted.

**Significant judgment and certain estimates are required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Future tax law changes may materially increase the Company's prospective income tax expense.**

We are subject to income taxation in the U.S. as well as numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide income tax provision and, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded in our financial statements and may materially affect our financial results in the period or periods for which such determination is made.

**Increases in income tax rates, changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities could adversely affect our financial performance.**

Increases in income tax rates or other changes in tax laws, including changes in how existing tax laws are interpreted or enforced, could adversely affect our financial performance. For example, economic and political conditions in countries where we are subject to taxes, including the United States, have in the past and could continue to result in significant changes in tax legislation or regulation. For example, numerous countries have agreed to a statement in support of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development model (OECD) rules that propose a partial global profit reallocation and a global minimum tax rate of 15.0%. Numerous countries, including European Union member states, have already enacted legislation incorporating the global minimum tax with effect and widespread implementation of a global minimum tax is expected by 2025. While we are subject to Pillar II, the legislative changes enacted to date did not have a material impact on our overall operations. As the legislation becomes effective in other countries in which we do business, our taxes could increase and negatively impact our provision for income taxes. As the legislation continues to become effective in countries in which we do business, our taxes could increase and negatively impact our provision for income taxes. This increasingly complex global tax environment could increase tax uncertainty, which could in turn result in higher compliance costs and adverse effects on our financial performance. We are also subject to regular reviews, examinations and audits by numerous tax authorities with respect to income and non-income based taxes. Economic and political pressures to increase tax revenues in jurisdictions in which we operate, or the adoption of new or reformed tax legislation or regulation, also could make resolving any tax disputes more difficult and the final resolution of any tax audits could have an adverse effect on our financial performance.

**We are a global company with significant revenues and earnings generated internationally, which exposes us to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, as well as political and economic risks.**

Sales outside of the U.S. accounted for 26.5% of our consolidated net sales and a portion of our earnings in 2025. We anticipate that sales and earnings from international operations will continue to represent a portion of our net sales and earnings in the future. In addition, many of our manufacturing facilities and suppliers are located outside of the U.S. Our foreign operations subject us to certain commercial, political and financial risks. Our business in these foreign markets is subject to general political conditions, including any political instability (such as those resulting from war, terrorism and insurrections) and general economic conditions in these markets, such as inflation, deflation, interest rate volatility and credit availability. Additionally, a number of factors, including U.S. relations with the governments of the foreign countries in which we operate, changes to international trade agreements and treaties, increases in trade protectionism, or the weakening or loss of certain intellectual property protection rights in some countries, may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Foreign regulatory requirements, including those related to the testing, authorization, and labeling of products and import or export licensing requirements, could affect the availability of our products in these markets.

In addition to risks associated with general political conditions, our international operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates The functional currency for most of our foreign operations is the applicable local currency. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the results of our operations and the value of our foreign assets and

------

liabilities, which in turn may adversely affect results of operations and cash flows and the comparability of period-to-period results of operations. Foreign governmental policies and actions regarding currency valuation could result in actions by the United States and other countries to offset the effects of such fluctuations. Given the unpredictability and volatility of foreign currency exchange rates, ongoing or unusual volatility may adversely impact our business and financial conditions.

**<u>Global and Economic Risks</u>**

**Changes in the global economic environment, inflation, elevated interest rates, recessions or prolonged periods of slow economic growth, and global instability and actual and threatened geopolitical conflict, could continue to adversely affect our operations.**

Overall economic conditions in the U.S. and globally, including in Europe, including adverse factors such as heightened inflation, capital market volatility, rising or sustained high interest rates, currency rate fluctuations, and economic slowdown or recession, may result in unfavorable conditions that could negatively affect demand for our products due to customers decreasing their inventories in the near-term or long-term, reduction in sales due to raw material shortages, reduction in research and development efforts, our inability to sufficiently hedge our currency and raw material costs, insolvency of suppliers and customers and exacerbate some of the other risks that affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Periods of economic downturn or continued uncertainty could result in difficulty increasing or maintaining our level of sales or profitability and we may experience an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

**The impact of public health crises could have a significant effect on supply and/or demand for our products and services and have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.**

Global pandemics, or other public health crises may adversely affect, among other things, our supply chain and associated costs; demand for our products and services; our operations and sales, marketing and distribution efforts; our research and development capabilities; our engineering, design, and manufacturing processes; and other important business activities. These events could result in significant losses, adversely affect our competitive position, increase our costs, require substantial expenditures and recovery time, make it difficult or impossible to provide services or deliver products to our customers or to receive components from our suppliers, create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain and result in the need to impose employee travel restrictions. Our operations and those of our suppliers and distributors could be adversely affected if manufacturing, logistics, or other operations in key locations, are disrupted for any reason, such as those described above or other economic, business, labor, environmental, public health, regulatory or political reasons. In addition, even if our operations are unaffected or recover quickly, if our customers cannot timely resume their own operations, they may reduce or cancel their orders, or these events could otherwise result in a decrease in demand for our products.

**Changes in government and industry regulatory standards pertaining to health and safety and various political factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.**

Public health crises, global pandemics, and the measures taken in response to such events have in the past negatively impacted, and may again in the future negatively impact, our operations and workforce, as well as those of our partners, customers and suppliers. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of such events have, from time to time, caused increased volatility in financial and other capital markets. The negative impacts of any such events on business operations and demand for our offerings will depend on future developments and actions taken in response to such events, which may be outside our control, highly uncertain, and cannot be predicted at this time. Political factors that could impact us include, but are not limited to, changes to tax laws and regulations resulting in increased income tax liability, changes in administration resulting in increased or newly imposed tariffs, increased regulation, limitations on exports of energy and raw materials, and trade remedies. Actions taken by the U.S. government could affect our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

**<u>Risks Related to Seasonality and Weather Conditions</u>**

**Seasonality and weather-related conditions may have a significant impact on our financial condition from period to period.**

The demand for our products and services is heavily correlated to both seasonal changes, with operating results varying from quarter to quarter, and unpredictable weather patterns. Our sales and income have historically been lower in the first and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters, as customers tend to purchase construction materials in the late spring and summer months for the construction season. In addition, weather conditions, such as unseasonably warm, cold or wet weather, which affect, and sometimes delay or accelerate installation of some of our products, may significantly affect our results of operations. Sales that we anticipate in one quarter may occur in another quarter, affecting both quarters' results and potentially our stock price.

------

In addition, we typically ship orders as we receive them and maintain inventory levels to allow us to operate with minimum backlog. The efficiency of our inventory system, and our ability to avoid backlogs and potential loss of customers, is closely tied to our ability to accurately predict seasonal and quarterly variances. Further, our planned expenditures are also based primarily on sales forecasts. When sales do not meet our expectations, our operating results will be reduced for the relevant quarters, as we will have already incurred expenses based on those expectations. This could result in a material decline in our stock price.

**Climate change, drought, weather conditions and storm activity could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.**

In North America and Europe, weather conditions and the level of severe storms can have a significant impact on the markets for residential construction and home improvement. As a result, climate change that results in altered weather conditions or storm activity could have a significant impact on our business by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• depressing or reversing economic development;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reducing the demand for construction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing the cost and reducing the availability of wood products used in construction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing the cost and reducing the availability of raw materials and energy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing the cost and reducing the availability of insurance covering damage from natural disasters; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lead to new laws and regulations that increase our expenses and reduce our sales.

Generally, any weather conditions that slow or limit residential or construction activity can adversely impact demand for our products and services.

Lower demand for our products or services as a result of this scenario could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, severely low temperatures may lead to significant and immediate spikes in costs of natural gas, electricity and other commodities that could negatively affect our results of operation.

**Natural disasters or other catastrophes could decrease our manufacturing capacity or harm our business and financial condition.**

Some of our manufacturing facilities are located in geographic regions that have experienced, or may experience in the future, major natural disasters and other catastrophes, such as fires, earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. Our disaster recovery plan may not be adequate or effective to respond to such events. Further, although we maintain various forms and levels of insurance to protect us against potential loss exposures, the scope of our available insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us against all potential risks. For example, we do not carry earthquake insurance and other insurance that we carry is limited in the risks covered and the amount of coverage. Our insurance may not be adequate to cover all of our resulting costs, business interruption and lost profits when a major natural disaster or catastrophe occurs. A natural disaster rendering one or more of our manufacturing facilities totally or partially inoperable, whether or not covered by insurance, would materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

**<u>Risks Related to Product, Services and Sales Risks</u>**

**Product liability claims and litigation could affect our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.**

In the ordinary course of business, the products that we design and/or manufacture, and/or the services we provide, have led to product liability claims or other legal claims being filed against us. To the extent that plaintiffs are successful in showing that a defect in a product's design, manufacture or warnings led to personal injury or property damage, or that our provision of services resulted in similar injury or damage, we may be subject to claims for damages. Although we are insured for damages above a certain amount, we bear the costs and expenses associated with defending claims, including frivolous lawsuits, and are responsible for damages up to the insurance retention amount. The insurance that we carry is limited in terms of coverage and may not be adequate to cover all of our resulting costs, business interruption and lost profits if we are subject to product liability claims. We might also face increases in premiums and reductions in the availability of insurance covering product liability, which could have a significant impact on our business. In addition to claims concerning individual products, as a manufacturer, we can be subject to costs, potential negative publicity and lawsuits related to product recalls, which could adversely impact our results of operations and damage our reputation.

We also face product liability exposure when our products are incorporated into residential construction by home builders. When home builders are sued for construction-related claims, including claims alleging defective construction, water intrusion,

------

structural failures or building code violations, they may seek indemnification or contribution from us as a product supplier, or plaintiffs may name us directly as a defendant. These claims may arise years after our products were sold and installed, and may involve multiple parties, complex allocation disputes and protracted litigation. Construction defect litigation is common in certain jurisdictions and can result in significant defense costs and potential liability, regardless of whether our products were the proximate cause of the alleged damage.

**Design defects, labeling defects, product formula defects, inaccurate chemical mixes, product recalls and/or product liability claims could harm our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.**

Many of our products are integral to the structural soundness or safety of the structures in which they are used, and we have on occasion found flaws and deficiencies in the design, manufacturing, assembling, labeling, product formulations, chemical mixes or testing of our products. We also have on occasion found flaws and deficiencies in raw materials and finished goods produced by others and used with or incorporated into our products. Some flaws and deficiencies have not been apparent until after the products were installed or used by customers.

If any flaws or deficiencies exist in our products and if such flaws or deficiencies are not discovered and corrected before our products are incorporated into structures, the structures could be unsafe or could suffer severe damage, such as collapse or fire, and personal injury or death could result. To the extent that such damage or injury is not covered by our product liability insurance and we are held to be liable, we could be required to correct such damage and to compensate persons who might have suffered injury or death, and our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

As a result of the nature of many of our products and their use in construction projects, claims (including product warranty claims and claims resulting from a natural disaster) may be made against us with regard to damage or destruction of structures incorporating our products whether or not our products failed. Any such claims, if asserted, could require us to expend material time and efforts defending the claim and may materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. Costs associated with resolving such claims (such as repair or replacement of the affected parts) could be material and may exceed any amounts reserved in our consolidated financial statements.

**While we generally attempt to limit our contractual liability and our exposure to price or expense increases, we may have uncapped liabilities or significant exposure under some contracts and could suffer material losses under such contracts.**

We enter into many types of contracts with our customers, suppliers and other third parties, including in connection with our expansion into new markets and new product lines. Under some of these contracts, our overall liability may not be limited to a specified maximum amount, or we may have significant potential exposure to price or expense increases. If we receive claims under these contracts or experience significant price increases or comparable expense increases, we may incur liabilities significantly in excess of the revenues associated with such contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

**Some of our technology offerings provide planning and design functions to customers, and we are involved both in product sales and engineering services. Any software errors or deficiencies or failures in our engineering services could have material adverse effects on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows**.

Our planning/design software applications facilitate the creation by customers of complex construction and building designs and are extremely complex. If our software applications contain defects or errors, our engineers prepare, approve or seal drawings that contain defects or we are otherwise involved in any design or construction that contains flaws, regardless of whether we caused such flaws, we may be required to correct deficiencies and may become involved in litigation. Further, if any damage or injury is not covered by our insurance and we are held to be liable, we could be required to correct such damage and to compensate persons who might have suffered injury, and our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

**<u>Risks Related to Human Capital</u>**

**We depend on executives and other key employees, the loss of whom could harm our business.**

We depend, in part, on the efforts and skills of our executives and other key employees, including members of our sales force. Our executives and key employees are experienced and highly qualified. The loss of any of our executive officers or other key employees could harm the business and the Company's ability to timely achieve its strategic initiatives. Our success also depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire and retain our key personnel. We face strong competition for such personnel and

------

may not be able to attract or retain such personnel. In addition, when we experience periods with little or no profits, a decrease in compensation based on our profits may make it difficult to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. We may not be able to attract and retain key personnel or may incur significant costs to do so.

**Our workforce could become increasingly unionized in the future and our unionized or union-free workforce could strike, which could adversely affect the stability of our production and reduce our profitability.**

A significant number of our employees are represented by labor unions and covered by collective bargaining agreements that will expire between 2026 and 2029. Generally, collective bargaining agreements that expire may be terminated after notice by the union. After termination, the union may authorize a strike. Although we believe that our relations with our employees are generally good, we have experienced strikes in the past, and no assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully extend or renegotiate our collective bargaining agreements as they expire. If we fail to extend or renegotiate our collective bargaining agreements, if disputes with our unions arise, or if the workers covered by one or more of the collective bargaining agreements engage in a strike, lockout, or other work stoppage, we could have a material adverse effect on production at one or more of our facilities, incur higher labor costs, and, depending upon the length of such dispute or work stoppage, on our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

**<u>Capital Expenditures, Expansions, Acquisitions and Divestitures Risks</u>**

**Our capital expenditures may not be adequate to maintain our competitive position and may not be implemented in a timely or cost-effective manner.**

Our capital expenditures are limited by our liquidity and capital resources and the amount we have available for capital spending is limited by the need to pay our other expenses and to maintain adequate cash reserves and borrowing capacity to meet unexpected demands that may arise. Productivity improvements through process re-engineering, design efficiency and manufacturing cost improvements may be required to offset potential increases in labor and raw material costs and competitive price pressures. If we are unable to make sufficient capital expenditures, or to maximize the efficiency of the capital expenditures we do make, our competitive position may be harmed, and we may be unable to manufacture the products necessary to compete successfully in our targeted market segments.

**Additional financing, if needed, to fund our working capital, growth or other business requirements may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.**

If the cash needed for working capital or to fund our growth or other business requirements increases to a level that exceeds the amount of cash that we generate from operations and have available through our current credit arrangements, we will need to seek additional financing. Additional or new borrowings may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. Our ability to raise money by issuing and selling shares of our common or preferred stock depends on general market conditions and the demand for our stock. If we sell stock, our existing stockholders could experience substantial dilution. Our inability to secure additional financing could prevent the expansion of our business, internally and through acquisitions.

**Acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions could fail to achieve financial or strategic objectives, disrupt our ongoing business, and adversely impact our results of operations.**

In furtherance of our business strategy, we routinely evaluate opportunities and may enter into agreements for possible acquisitions, divestitures, or other strategic transactions. A significant portion of our growth has been generated by acquisitions, and we may continue to acquire businesses in the future as part of our growth strategy. Furthermore, there is no assurance that any such transaction will result in synergistic benefits. A potential acquisition, divestiture, or other strategic transaction may involve a number of risks including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the transaction may not effectively advance our business strategy, and its anticipated benefits may never materialize;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• integration of an acquired business' accounting, information technology, human resources, and other administrative systems may fail to permit effective management and expense reduction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diversion of management's attention from business operations to integration matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• departure of key personnel from the acquired business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effectively managing entrepreneurial spirit and decision-making;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unanticipated costs and exposure to unforeseen liabilities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impairment of assets.

------

As a result, if we fail to evaluate and execute these transactions properly, we might not achieve the anticipated benefits of such transactions, and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. These risks would likely be greater in the case of larger transactions.

In addition, future acquisitions may involve issuance of additional equity securities that dilute the value of our existing equity securities, increase our debt, cause impairment related to goodwill and cause impairment of, and amortization expenses related to, other intangible assets, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability.

**<u>Regulatory Risks</u>**

**Failure to comply with industry regulations could result in reduced sales and increased costs.**

Our operations are subject to extensive and increasingly stringent federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA" or "Superfund"), the Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA"), the Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA") and their state counterparts. These laws regulate, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites, and workplace health and safety.

Our manufacturing operations involve the use of solvents, chemicals, oils and other materials that are regarded as hazardous or toxic. We also use complex and heavy machinery and equipment that can pose severe safety hazards, especially if not properly and carefully used. Some of our products also incorporate materials that are hazardous or toxic in some forms, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• zinc and lead used in some steel galvanizing processes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• chemicals used in our acrylic and epoxy anchoring products, our concrete repair, strengthening and protecting products; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• gun powder used in our powder-actuated tools, which is explosive.

If we do not obtain all material licenses and permits required by environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, or otherwise fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we may be subject to regulatory action by governmental authorities. If our policies and procedures are flawed, or our employees fail or neglect to follow our policies and procedures in all respects, we might incur liability. Relevant laws and regulations could change, or new ones could be adopted that require us to incur substantial expenses to comply. Permit requirements may change, and we may face delays or denials in obtaining or renewing permits, which could limit or disrupt our operations. We may also be required to install additional pollution control equipment or modify our operations to comply with new or more stringent requirements, which could require significant capital expenditures.

**Complying or failing to comply with conflict minerals regulations could materially and adversely affect our supply chain, our relationships with customers and suppliers and our financial results.**

We are currently subject to conflict mineral disclosure regulations in the U.S. and may be affected by new regulations concerning conflict and similar minerals adopted by other jurisdictions where we operate. While we have been successful to date in adapting to such regulations, we have and will continue to incur added costs to comply with the disclosure requirements, including costs related to determining the source of such minerals used in our products. We may not be able to ascertain the origins of such minerals as we use and may not be able to satisfy requests from customers to certify that our products are free of conflict minerals. These requirements also could constrain the pool of suppliers from which we source such minerals. We may be unable to obtain conflict-free minerals at competitive prices. Such consequences will increase costs and may materially and adversely affect our manufacturing operations and profitability.

**When we provide engineering services, we are subject to various local, state and federal rules and regulations which can increase our potential liability.**

As part of our product offerings, we may provide engineering and design-related services to our clients. Some of these services require us to stamp drawings or otherwise be involved in the engineering process. While we generally attempt to limit our liability through our internal processes and through our legal agreements with third parties to which we provide such services, under various local, state and federal rules and regulations these limitations may not be effective, and we may be held liable for engineering failures. Any such liability could materially and adversely affect our profitability.

**<u>General Risk Factors</u>**

**Any issuance of preferred stock may dilute your investment and reduce funds available for dividends.**

Our Board of Directors is authorized by our certificate of incorporation to determine the terms of one or more series of preferred stock and to authorize the issuance of shares of any such series on such terms as our Board of Directors may approve. Any such issuance could be used to impede an acquisition of our business that our Board of Directors does not approve, further dilute the equity investments of holders of our common stock and reduce funds available for the payment of dividends to holders of our common stock.

**Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws or Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management.**

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company or changes in our management that our stockholders may deem advantageous. For example, under our charter documents, our stockholders cannot call special meetings and cannot take action with written consent.

Additionally, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any "interested" stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an "interested" stockholder and which may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company. Delaware law and our corporate governance documents could deter takeover attempts that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.

**If we were required to write down all or part of our goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets, our results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected in a particular period.**

Declines in the Company's business may result in an impairment of the Company's tangible and intangible assets which could result in a material non-cash charge. At least annually, or at other times when events occur that could affect the value of such assets, we perform impairment tests on our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets. To determine whether an impairment has occurred, we may utilize "Step Zero" qualitative test or compare fair value of each of our reporting units with its carrying value. In the past, these tests have led us to incur significant impairment charges. Significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, such as significant adverse changes in business climate, adverse actions by regulatory authorities, unanticipated competition, loss of key customers or changes in technology or markets, can require a charge for impairment that can negatively impact our results of operations.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity.**

**Risk Management and Strategy**

Our cybersecurity risk management efforts are an integral part of our overall risk management processes, and we are deeply committed to safeguarding our digital and information technology environment for our employees, customers and vendors. We employ a robust, global and multi-layered security strategy, known as "defense-in-depth," to assess, identify and manage cybersecurity risks and protect our cyber work environment from potential threats and vulnerabilities. These risks, threats and vulnerabilities include those that could result in significant operational disruption to the Company, such as production disruption, business downtime or loss of containment, as well as risks that could have significant reputational or compliance/regulatory impact.

The Company's Information Security team monitors information security risks that target both technology and manufacturing environments and identifies potential risks to Simpson's information security posture. Any identified risks are prioritized in terms of impact to Simpson's information security posture and, if critical, addressed immediately or added to Simpson's information security roadmap. To supplement our internal cybersecurity resources, we also engage external third parties to perform information security assessments, penetration tests and related services to enhance our information security program.

*Risks Associated with Third-Party Service Providers*

------

In addition, we implement robust processes to oversee and manage risks associated with our business arrangements with third-party service providers. All new Simpson third-party business agreements are reviewed and assessed by our Information Security team. We also perform information security program investigations on the security posture of and assess any publicly known information security events related to, these third-party service providers. If a third party service provider with a business agreement with Simpson experiences an information security breach or incident, our Information Security Team reviews and assesses such event to understand Simpson's overall exposure to the security incident.

*Insurance*

We maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage at industry standard levels as a part of our comprehensive insurance portfolio to help mitigate risk in the event an information security event occurs.

*Risks from Cybersecurity Threats*

Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may remain vulnerable to disruptions, including as a result of attacks by increasingly sophisticated intruders or others who attempt to cause harm to, or otherwise interfere with the normal use of our systems. We have experienced targeted and non-targeted cybersecurity attacks and incidents in the past that have resulted in unauthorized persons gaining access to our information systems and computer networks, and we could in the future experience similar attacks. When we do experience cybersecurity incidents like these and the one we disclosed in October 2023, we aim to utilize that experience to inform and strengthen our cybersecurity management efforts. In response to the October 2023 incident, we increased our phishing awareness training and testing, deployed a cybersecurity tool that continuously monitors and verifies the security posture of individual devices within our network, and deployed technology that provides visibility into our sensitive data across different cloud environments, allowing the identification of potential vulnerabilities and take proactive measures to protect data from unauthorized access, misuse, or theft.

We do not believe any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incident, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company or our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For additional information regarding the risks from cybersecurity threats we face, see the section captioned "*Risks Relating to Our Intellectual Property and Information Technology*" under Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" above.

**Governance**

*Board and Committee Oversight*

Although our full Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our Board is assisted in discharging its risk oversight responsibility by its committees. The Audit and Finance Committee of the Board is responsible for providing oversight of our information security program and cybersecurity risks. In connection with this oversight role, the Audit and Finance Committee receive information technology updates from management at least quarterly. Cybersecurity risks facing the Company and updates on the Company's practices and progress to mitigate such risks are also the subject of management reports to the Audit and Finance Committee on a more frequent basis, as necessary or appropriate.

*Management's Role in Assessing and Managing Risk*

The Company's information security efforts are led by our Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer ("CTO") and our Vice President, Cybersecurity and Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") supported by our executive management team. These efforts are designed to address information security governance and risk, product security, identification and protection of critical assets, third-party risk, security awareness, cyber defense operations, artificial intelligence and data protection governance, and related risk management matters. Our CTO and CISO have an average of over 23 years of prior work experience in various roles involving information technology, cybersecurity strategy and governance, incident response, cyber intelligence, cybersecurity consulting, cyber audits, cyber compliance and national security and intelligence. These individuals have relevant educational and industry experience, including holding similar positions at other large companies.

Our CTO and CISO provide relevant cybersecurity and cybersecurity technology reports to the Audit and Finance Committee, and to the executive and senior leadership teams. These reports are provided at quarterly Audit and Finance Committee meetings, quarterly Cybersecurity Steering Committee meetings, and at our Digital Quarterly Business Review meetings. These reports typically include analyses of recent significant cybersecurity threats and incidents at the Company and across the industry, as well as a review of our security controls, assessments and program maturity, top risks, risk mitigation status, and a review of our third-party service providers as appropriate. Simpson's information security roadmap and posture are also reviewed quarterly with members of the executive leadership team and the Audit and Finance Committee. In accordance with our cybersecurity program, any cybersecurity incident is assessed and reviewed by our Digital Leadership team and members of the executive leadership team.

------

Through the Cybersecurity Steering Committee, executive leadership is responsible for assessing and reviewing our cybersecurity program and the Company's material risks from cybersecurity threats.

We believe that our properties are maintained in good operating condition. Our manufacturing facilities are equipped with specialized equipment and use extensive automation. Our leased facilities typically have renewal options and have expiration dates through 2039. We believe we will be able to extend leases on our various facilities as necessary, or as they expire. Currently, our manufacturing facilities are being operated with at least one full-time shift. Based on current information and subject to future events and circumstances, we anticipate that we may require additional facilities to accommodate possible future growth.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings.**

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business. Corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, cracking, material hardness, wood pressure-treating chemicals, misinstallations, misuse, design and assembly flaws, manufacturing defects, labeling defects, product formula defects, inaccurate chemical mixes, adulteration, environmental conditions, or other factors can contribute to failure of fasteners, connectors, anchors, adhesives, specialty chemicals, such as fiber reinforced polymers, and tool products. In addition, inaccuracies may occur in product information, descriptions and instructions found in catalogs, packaging, data sheets, and the Company's website.

The Company currently is not a party to any legal proceedings which the Company expects individually or in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Nonetheless, the resolution of any claim or litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and we could in the future incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of the various legal proceedings and other matters we are currently involved in, which could materially impact our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Refer to Note [15](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_151), "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of recent developments related to certain of the legal proceedings in which we are involved.

Asia/Pacific. Within the North America segment, our sales efforts are dedicated to serving customers across the following end-use markets:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Residential;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Commercial;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• National Retail; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Component Manufacturers

Our organic growth opportunities are focused on expanding product lines with our current customers while also identifying new market share gain opportunities within our core product and market competencies.

To grow in these markets, we aspire to be among the leaders in engineered load-rated construction building products and systems, as well as digital product offerings. We intend to leverage our engineering expertise, deep-rooted relationships with top builders, engineers, contractors, code officials and distributors, and our ongoing commitment to testing, research and innovation. Importantly, we have existing products, testing results, distribution and manufacturing capabilities to support our ambitions. Achieving this growth will depend on expanding our sales and marketing efforts to promote our products across end users and distribution channels, broadening our customer base, and introducing new products over time.

Our commitment to continuous improvement has fostered our core Company ambitions, which we will pursue including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strengthen our values-based culture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Be the business partner of choice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strive to be an innovative leader in the markets we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Drive above market volume growth relative to U.S. housing starts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintain an operating income margin at or above 20%; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Deliver earnings per share growth ahead of net revenue growth.

Since announced in 2021, we have made great progress on our key growth initiatives. Examples include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Added approximately $1.0 billion in revenue, with sales growing $100.7 million or 4.5%. from fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2025, and $200.0 million in operating profit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Earnings per share grew $0.64 per share to $8.24 per share or 8.4% from fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2025 exceeding sales growth over the same fiscal periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Realigned our sales team by end market, significantly reduced two-step distribution, and made significant investments in our field sales and engineering teams.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Made significant footprint investments in both production and warehouses. Our investment in our new Gallatin Tennessee facility enables us to onshore additional fastener and anchor production, and the operation will in-source key manufacturing processes such as heat treating and coating of fasteners. Additional warehouse capabilities will also enhance next day delivery for our North American customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Invested significantly in digital solutions, combined with the other initiatives strengthened our business model, which drove hardware sales, created value for our customers and made us a partner of choice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expanded our equipment product line which helped drive increase sales in the component manufacturing market space.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Streamlined internal processes and focused development efforts on high-impact new products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Promoted high-potential talent and external experts to senior leadership.

As a result, we have further strengthened our market position in connectors with significant gains in both fasteners and anchors. In addition, driven by our high service levels, increasingly diverse portfolio of products and software and commitment to innovation and delivering complete solutions to the markets we serve, we believe we can continue to achieve above market growth in the North America relative to U.S. housing starts in fiscal 2025 and beyond. These actions reflect our Founder, Barclay Simpson's, nine principles of doing business, particularly our relentless focus and commitment to customers and users.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, tariff and trade policy actions have impacted our results of operations and are expected to continue to do so. We also experienced increased foreign currency exchange rate volatility, which we attribute, in part, to the rapidly changing global trade environment.

We increased prices in the U.S. effective June 2, 2025 on certain wood connectors, fasteners and mechanical anchors, and again effective October 15, 2025 on certain fasteners and mechanical anchors. We believe North America net sales could increase in future periods even if demand does not increase. However, increased selling prices are expected to be offset by higher non-material costs including labor, energy, transportation, and equipment incurred over the prior three years and potentially by

------

future costs increases. In addition, the price increases are expected to partially offset increased costs related to tariffs affecting a portion of our fastener and anchors sales, but do not offset tariffs announced after December 31, 2025.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of our business. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, integration, acquisition and restructuring costs, non-qualified deferred compensation adjustments, goodwill impairment, gain on bargain purchase, lease termination costs, severance costs related to cost saving initiatives, net loss or gain on disposal of assets, interest income or expense, and foreign exchange and other expense (income). This provides additional insight into the Company's operating performance in light of the significant levels of growth investment we have made in our operations, the effect depreciation and acquisition as well as integration costs will have on our operating results. We believe this will also provide a better approximation of our cash flows compared to operating income.

**Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations**

Our business, financial condition, and results of operations depend in large part on the level of U.S. housing starts and residential construction activity. Overall U.S. housing starts have been decreasing year over year since 2021. Based on preliminary calendar year 2025 housing starts reporting, the year over year decrease in our sales volumes closely tracked with the decrease in total housing starts over the same period. Lower housing starts in the U.S. could result in lower demand, which would affect our sales and possibly operating profit.

Unlike lumber or other products that have a more direct correlation to U.S. housing starts, our products are used to a greater extent in areas that are subject to natural forces, such as seismic or wind events. Our products are generally used in a sequential progression that follows the construction process. Residential and commercial construction begins with the foundation, followed by the wall and the roof systems, and then the installation of our products, which flow into a project or a house according to these schedules.

We are closely monitoring the recent tariff and trade policy actions taken by the U.S. and foreign governments. As the situation continues to remain fluid due to the rapidly changing global trade environment, we are still evaluating the potential implications of these actions in our business. While we are largely domestically sourced, we continue to monitor macroeconomic trends such as the impact of interest rates, changing foreign exchange rates, inflation, the effects of recently implemented tariffs, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs in markets where we and our supplier operate. As a result of the tariffs announced by the U.S. presidential administration on April 2, 2025, and June 15, 2025, and potential tariff modifications or the imposition of tariffs or export controls by other countries, there is significant economic uncertainty. The extent and duration of tariffs and the resulting impact on macroeconomic conditions and on our business are uncertain and may depend on various factors beyond our control. We are closely monitoring the potential for the imposition of new or additional U.S. tariffs on imports, as well as potential retaliatory tariffs or other measures other countries may impose on U.S. imports, which may adversely affect the global economy. We are currently uncertain as to the ultimate impact these measures may have given the rapidly changing environment surrounding tariffs and other related political topics; however, if enacted as currently proposed, we expect that the proposed tariffs would primarily impact our North America segment as we procure fasteners and a small number of other products from countries that will be subjected to the these tariffs. Additionally, economic pressures on our customers, including the potential for higher inflation, fluctuations in foreign currencies and consumer confidence, driven by economic concerns or price increases, such as those we previously announced, could reduce demand for our products and services negatively affecting our net sales and profitability in the future.

In prior years, our sales were heavily seasonal with operating results varying from quarter to quarter depending on weather conditions that could delay construction starts. Our sales and income have historically been lower in the first and fourth quarters than in the second and third quarters of a fiscal year. Increased tariffs (as noted above), political uncertainty, fluctuating foreign currency rates, mortgage interest rates, and rising costs can also have an effect on our gross and operating profits as well. Due to efforts in diversifying our geographic footprint, product offerings, and changing our path to market in the U.S., sales from our product lines, customer base, and customer purchases are becoming less seasonal. Changes in raw material cost could impact the amount of inventory on-hand and negatively affect our gross profit and operating margins depending on the timing of raw material purchases or how much sales prices can be increased to offset any increases in raw material costs. Changes in labor, freight and warehousing costs, could also negatively impact gross profit depending on timing and amount of sales price can be increased to offset the higher costs.

**Business Segment Information**

Historically, our North America segment has generated more revenues from wood construction products compared to concrete construction products. North America net sales increased 4.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024. Our wood construction product net sales increased 3.7% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, primarily due to tariff-driven product price increases implemented during the second quarter and fourth quarter of 2025 as well as incremental sales increases from businesses acquired during fiscal year 2024, partly offset by lower sales volumes. North America wood product sales volumes for 2025 were down from 2024 year-over-year, due to lower housing starts and a more challenging regional mix, with the most pronounced housing start declines in Southern and Western United States, where our product content per unit is typically higher due to stronger area building codes. Our concrete construction product sales increased 8.6% over the same periods primarily due to product price increases implemented during the second quarter and fourth quarter of 2025, as well as increased sales volumes. For 2026, we expect U.S. housing starts to be at 2025 levels, With the investments we have made, we believe we will be able to continue to grow net sales above the US housing starts market, one of our company ambitions.

Operating income increased 2.1% to $448.8 million from $439.6 million on higher gross profits, partly offset by increased operating expenses. The higher operating expenses were driven by higher personnel costs including severance related costs, variable incentive compensation, IT application costs, as well as the timing of higher charitable donations.

We completed construction of our Columbus, Ohio facility in the second quarter of 2025 and the construction of our new Gallatin, Tennessee facility in the fourth quarter of 2025. The cost of both projects was at or below budget. These facilities are expected to improve our overall service, production efficiencies and safety in the workplace, as well as reduce our reliance on certain outsourced finished goods and component products. These facilities will help ensure we have ample capacity to meet our customers' needs. These investments reinforce our core business model differentiators to remain the partner of choice as we continue to produce products locally and ensure superior levels of customer service. Incremental investments in the current business will be limited until the U.S. housing market shows long-term improvement.

We anticipate product price increases implemented during 2025 will also benefit 2026 net sales by an estimated $40.0 million, mostly in the first half of fiscal year 2026. A portion of the product price increases were to partly offset the negative impact of tariffs for product imported into the United States. Tariffs and increased depreciation expense will have a negative impact on North America's gross and operating margins.

Europe net sales increased 4.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, with approximately $20.4 million of the increase due to favorable foreign currency translation. Wood construction product net sales increased 3.1% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, and concrete construction product net sales, which are mostly project based, increased 9.3% over the same periods. Gross margin increased to 35.8% from 35.3%, primarily due to lower material and freight costs, partly offset by higher factory and overhead, warehouse and labor costs, as a percentage of net sales. Gross profit was negatively impacted by footprint optimization and severance costs.

Operating income also increased $10.1 million and operating margin increased to 8.8% from 7.1%, mostly due to higher gross profits with lower integration expenses offsetting higher operating expenses. Operating expenses were negatively affected by approximately $5.3 million in foreign currency translations. In local currency, operating expenses decreased by approximately 2.1%. We believe in the long-term potential given Europe's on-going housing shortage (with an increasing use of wood construction) and new environmental regulations for which we have products and solutions. Currently we anticipate Europe results for 2026 to be improved partly due to product price increases and controlling expenses.

Our Asia/Pacific segment has generated revenues from both wood and concrete construction products. We believe that the Asia/Pacific segment is not significant to our overall performance.

**Business Outlook**

Based on business trends and conditions, the Company's outlook for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 is as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidated operating margin is estimated to be in the range of 19.5% to 20.5%. The operating margin range includes a projected gain of $10.0 million to $12.0 million on the sale of vacant land.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The effective tax rate is estimated to be in the range of 25.0% to 26.0%, including both federal and state income tax rates as well as international income tax rates, and assuming no tax law changes are enacted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capital expenditures are estimated to be in the range of $75.0 million to $85.0 million.

*Net Sales* increased approximately 4.5% to $2.3 billion from prior year, primarily due to increases in pricing, higher incremental sales related to the Company's 2024 acquisitions, and the positive effect of $17.7 million in foreign currency translation related mostly to Europe's currencies weakening against the United States dollar, partly offset by lower volumes. Wood construction product net sales, including sales of connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and shearwalls, represented 84.4% and 85.1% of the Company's total net sales for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Concrete construction product net sales, including sales of adhesives, chemicals, mechanical anchors, powder actuated tools and reinforcing fiber materials, represented 15.5% and 14.8% of the Company's total net sales for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Gross profit* increased approximately 4.5% to $1.1 billion from prior year, primarily due to higher net sales. Gross margin is consistent with fiscal year 2024, due to impact from tariffs, higher factory, overhead, and labor costs, which were mostly offset by lower warehouse costs. Gross margins, including some inter-segment expenses, which were eliminated upon consolidation, and excluding certain expenses that are allocated according to product group, increased from 45.6% to 45.8% for wood construction products and decreased from 47.5% to 47.0% for concrete construction products.

*Research and development and other engineering expense* increased 0.7% to $82.5 million from $81.9 million.

*Selling expense* increased 4.3% to $222.8 million from $213.5 million, primarily due to increases of $9.5 million in personnel costs, $4.0 million in variable compensation costs and $1.8 million in professional fees, partially offset by a decrease of $2.4 million in advertising and trade shows, $1.6 million in charitable donations, $1.5 million in Depreciation and Amortization, and $1.2 million in travel expenses.

*General and administrative expense* increased 9.8% to $321.7 million from $293.1 million, primarily due to increases of $10.3 million in personnel costs, $11.1 million in variable compensation costs, $1.1 million in professional fees, $3.0 million in depreciation and amortization, $1.2 million in bad debt, and $5.8 million in donations, partially offset by a decrease of $3.2 million in net capitalized computer and software expenses, $1.2 million in travel expenses.

*Income from operations* increased 6.5% to $458.1 million from $430.0 million primarily due to increase in net sales as noted above, a $12.9 million gain on disposal of assets from the sale of the existing Gallatin, Tennessee facility, and a decrease of $4.7 million in integration expenses.

------

Our *effective income tax rate* decreased to 25.4% from 25.8%.

*Consolidated net income* was $345.1 million compared to $322.2 million. Diluted net income per share of common stock was $8.24 compared to $7.60.

*Adjusted EBITDA*<sup>1</sup> of $544.3 million increased 3.3% compared to $526.8 million, primarily due to higher gross profits as noted above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Gross margin* decreased to 48.8% from 48.9%, primarily due to higher factory and overhead as well as labor costs, partially offset by lower warehouse costs, as a percentage of net sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Research and development and engineering expense* decreased $0.5 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Selling expense* increased $8.8 million, primarily due to increases of $8.8 million in personnel costs, $3.1 million in variable compensation costs, and $2.0 million in professional fees, partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in advertising and trade shows expense, $1.6 million in charitable donations, and $1.5 million in depreciation and amortization expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *General and administrative expense* increased $23.1 million, primarily due to increases of $4.8 million in personnel costs, $2.8 million in professional and legal fees, $4.7 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, $5.7 million in charitable donations, and $6.8 million in variable compensation costs, partially offset by a decrease of $3.2 million in net capitalized computer and software expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Income from operations* increased $9.2 million, primarily due to gross profit, partly offset by higher operating expenses.

***Europe***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Net sales* increased 4.3%, primarily due to the positive effect of approximately $20.4 million in foreign currency translation, as well as increases in sales volumes and pricing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Gross margin* increased to 35.8% from 35.3%, primarily due to lower material and freight costs, partly offset by higher factory and overhead, labor and warehouse costs, as a percentage of net sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Income from operations* increased $10.1 million, primarily due to higher gross profits and a decrease in acquisitions and integration related costs, partly offset by increases in operating expenses mostly due to the negative effect of approximately $5.3 million in foreign currency translation.

***Asia/Pacific***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For information about the Company's Asia/Pacific segment, please refer to the table above setting forth changes in our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

***Administrative and All Other***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *General and administrative expense* increased $4.4 million, primarily due to increases of $1.9 million in variable compensation costs, and $3.4 million in personnel costs, and partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in professional and legal fees.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The critical accounting policies described below affect the Company's more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. If the Company's business conditions change or if it uses different assumptions or estimates in the application of these and other accounting policies, the Company's future results of operations could be adversely affected.

*Inventory Valuation*

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market). Cost includes all costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Raw materials and purchased finished goods — principally valued at a cost determined on a weighted average basis; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In-process products and finished goods — the cost of direct materials and labor plus attributable overhead based on a normal level of activity.

The Company applies net realizable value and makes estimates for obsolescence to the gross value of inventory. The Company estimates net realizable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs expected to be incurred through completion

------

and disposal. The Company impairs slow-moving products by comparing inventories on hand to projected demand. If on-hand supply of a product exceeds projected demand or if the Company believes the product is no longer marketable, the product is considered obsolete inventory. The Company revalues obsolete inventory to its net realizable value and has consistently applied this methodology. The Company believes that this approach is suitable for impairments of slow-moving and obsolete inventory. When impairments are established, a new cost basis of the inventory is created. Unexpected changes in market demand, building codes or buyer preferences could reduce the rate of inventory turnover and require the Company to recognize more obsolete inventory.

*Business Combinations.* 

Accounting for business combinations requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as the useful lives of those acquired intangible assets.

Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets and goodwill we have acquired are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• future expected cash flows from operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• historical and expected customer attrition rates and anticipated growth in revenue from acquired customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assumptions about the period of time the acquired trade name will continue to be used in our offerings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• discount rates.

Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

*Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets*

Our goodwill balance is not amortized to expense, and we may assess quantitative or qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to complete quantitative impairment assessments. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 350, *"Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,"* annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change in the interim that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying amount.

Intangible assets acquired are recognized at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their applicable useful lives. We monitor conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization or depreciation period. We test these assets for potential impairment annually and whenever management concludes events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis (in the fourth quarter for the Company). The Company also reviews goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or disposition or relocation of a significant portion of a reporting unit.

We determined that the U.S. reporting unit includes four components: Northwest United States, Southwest United States, Northeast United States and Southeast United States. The Australia reporting unit includes two components: Australia and New Zealand. For each of these reporting units, the Company aggregated the components because management concluded that they are economically similar, and that the goodwill is recoverable from these components working in concert.

We performed the ("Step 0") approach in the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2025 to assess qualitative factors related to the goodwill of the reporting units to determine whether it is necessary to perform an impairment test. For the qualitative assessments, we assessed various assumptions, events and circumstances that could have affected the estimated fair value of the reporting units. Based on the qualitative assessment performed, the Company concluded that there was no evidence of events or circumstances that would indicate a material change from the Company's prior year quantitative assessment by reporting unit and therefore, it was more likely than not that the estimated fair value of reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. The annual testing of goodwill for impairment did not result in impairment charges.

*Revenue from Contracts with Customers*

Generally, the Company's revenue contract with a customer exists when (1) the goods are shipped, services are rendered, and the related invoice is generated, (2) the duration of the contract does not extend beyond the promised goods or services already

------

transferred and (3) the transaction price of each distinct promised product or service specified in the invoice is based on its relative stated standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer at a point in time. The Company's shipping terms provide the primary indicator of the transfer of control. The general shipping terms are Incoterm C.P.T. (F.O.B. shipping point), where the title, and risk and rewards of ownership transfer at the point when the products are no longer on the Company's premises. Other Incoterms are allowed as exceptions depending on the product or service being sold and the nature of the sale. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the invoice with a customer, excluding any sales incentives, discounts, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties (i.e., governmental tax authorities).

Volume rebates, discounts and rights of return are accounted for as variable considerations because the transaction price is either uncertain until the customer completes or fails the specified volumes or returned product are not returned by the return period. The Company estimates allowances based on historical experience from prior periods and the customer's historical purchasing pattern. These estimates are deducted from revenues and are reevaluated periodically during the reporting period.

**Effect of New Accounting Standards**

See "Note [1](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_94) — Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for effects of new accounting standards on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We have historically met our capital needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and, when necessary, borrowings under our credit facilities. Our principal uses of capital include the costs and expenses associated with our operations, including financing working capital requirements and continuing our capital allocation strategy, which includes supporting capital expenditures, paying cash dividends, repurchasing the Company's common stock, and financing other investment opportunities from time to time.

On December 16, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), which amends and restates the Company's previous agreement dated March 30, 2022. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a 5-year $600.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a letter of credit-sub-facility up to $50.0 million, and a 5-year term loan facility of $300.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $74.2 million borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $300.0 million borrowings under the term loan facility. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $525.8 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility. For more information, refer to "Note [14](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_148) - Debt" in Part II, Item 8.

The Company has certain contractual obligations, primarily debt interest, operating leases, and purchase obligations, which include annual facility fees. Refer to "Note [12](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_139) - Leases", "Note [14](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_148) - Debt" and "Note [15](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_205) - Commitment and Contingencies" in Part II, Item 8 for details related to the Company's obligations and debt annual facility fees. The Company did not have any significant off-balance sheet commitments as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents consisted of deposits and money market funds held with established national financial institutions, and includes $152.1 million held in the local currencies of our foreign operations and could be subject to additional taxation if repatriated to the U.S. The Company is maintaining a permanent reinvestment assertion on its foreign earnings relative to remaining cash held outside the United States.

Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from our earnings before non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation, and are affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities which consist primarily of working capital balances. Our revenues are derived from manufacturing and sales of building construction materials. Our operating cash flows are impacted by prevailing macro-economic conditions and subject to seasonality, which is cyclically associated with the volume and timing of construction project starts. For example, as a result of seasonality, our trade accounts receivable is generally at its lowest at the end of the fourth quarter and increases during the first, second and third quarters as construction activity ramps up in markets we serve.

In 2025, cash provided by operating activities of $458.7 million in cash and cash equivalents as a result of $345.1 million from net income and adding back $127.2 million for non-cash adjustments from net income which includes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and non-cash lease expense, partially offset by a decrease of $13.6 million for the net change in operating assets and liabilities. The net change in operating assets and liabilities included increases of $24.0 million net change in other non-current assets and liabilities, $13.3 million in other current assets and $10.1 million in trade accounts receivable, partly offset by a decrease of $19.9 million in inventory as well as an increase of $20.7 million in accrued liabilities and other current liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities of $136.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily for capital spending of $161.0 million for facility expansion projects, and machinery and equipment purchases. Based on current forecasts, capital expenditures are estimated to range between $75.0 million to $85.0 million for 2026.

Cash used in financing activities of $186.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, consisted primarily of $419.0 million in loan principal payments, $120.0 million for the repurchase of the Company's common stock and $47.6 million used to pay cash dividends, partly offset by $403.8 million in loan proceeds. The Company purchased and received approximately 0.7 million shares of its common stock on the open market at an average price of $171.43 per share.

On October 23, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of the Company's common stock, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. On October 23, 2025, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase an additional $20.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock through the end of the year 2025 increasing the 2025 share repurchase authorization to $120.0 million, and authorized the Company to repurchase up to $150.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Further, on January 28, 2026, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per share payable on April 23, 2026 to stockholders of record on April 2, 2026, and estimated to be $12.0 million in total.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company returned $167.6 million to the Company's stockholders, which represents 56.3% of our free cash flow from operations during the same period. From the beginning of 2022 to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has returned $531.8 million to stockholders, which represents 47.0% of our free cash flow from operations during the same period. From the beginning of 2022 to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares of the Company's common stock, which represents approximately 5.6% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock at the start of 2022.

\*Other: Includes acquisition, integration, and restructuring related expenses, non-qualified deferred compensation adjustments, lease termination, severance costs, other & foreign exchange loss net, and net loss or gain on disposal of assets.

**Contingencies**

From time to time, we are subject to various claims, lawsuits, legal proceedings (including litigation, arbitration or regulatory actions) and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Periodically, we evaluate the status of each matter and assess our potential financial exposure.

The Company records a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred, and the amount is reasonably estimable. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability of a loss and the estimated amount. The outcomes of claims, lawsuits, legal proceedings and other matters brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty, some of which are inherently unpredictable and/or beyond our control. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, if one or more of these matters were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management's expectations, they could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

See "Item 3 — Legal Proceedings" above and "Note [15](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_151) — Commitments and Contingencies" to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**Inflation and Raw Materials**

Inflation rates continued to increase during fiscal year 2025, which negatively affected labor costs and other costs of doing business, and as such may adversely affect our operating profits if we cannot recover the higher costs through price increases. Our main raw material is steel, and as such, increases in steel prices may adversely affect our gross margin if we cannot recover the higher costs through price increases. See "Item 1 — Raw Materials" and "Item 1A — Risk Factors."

**Indemnification**

In the normal course of business, to facilitate transactions of services and products, we have agreed to indemnify certain parties with respect to certain matters. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors, and the Company's bylaws as permitted by the Company's certificate of incorporation require the Company to indemnify corporate servants, including our officers and directors, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Company maintains directors and officers' liability insurance coverage to reduce its exposure to such obligations. The Company has not incurred significant obligations under indemnification provisions historically and does not expect to incur significant obligations in the future. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnities due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liability for costs related to these indemnities through December 31, 2025.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

We have operations both within the U.S. and internationally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including changes to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and fluctuations in commodity prices.

**Foreign Exchange Risk**

We have foreign exchange rate risk in our international operations, and through purchases from foreign vendors. Changes in the values of currencies of foreign countries affect our financial position, income statement and cash flows when translated into U.S. Dollars. We estimate that if the exchange rate were to change by 10.0% in any one country where we have our operations, the change in net income would not be material to our operations taken as a whole.

We may manage our exposure to transactional exposures by entering into foreign currency forward contracts for forecasted transactions and projected cash flows for foreign currencies in future periods. In 2022, 2023, and 2025, we entered into financial contracts at various times to hedge the risk of fluctuations associated with the Euro and the Chinese Yuan. Refer to "Note [9](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_127) — Derivative Instruments" to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency translation adjustments on our underlying assets and liabilities resulted in an accumulated other comprehensive gain of $69.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, due to the effects of the strengthening United States Dollar in relation to almost all other countries. The loss was partially offset by $38.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive losses from foreign currency forward contracts. Refer to "Note [5](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_112) — Stockholders' Equity" to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**Interest Rate Risk**

Our primary exposure to interest rate risk results from outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which bears interest at variable rates. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding debt under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement subject to interest rate fluctuations was $374.2 million. The variable interest rates on the Credit Agreement fluctuate and expose us to short-term changes in market interest rates as our interest obligation on this instrument is based on prevailing market interest rates. Interest rates fluctuate as a result of many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.

We have an interest rate swap agreement to convert the variable interest rate on our revolver and term loan to fixed interest rates. The objective of the interest rate swap agreement is to eliminate the variability of the interest payment cash flows associated with the variable interest rate outstanding under the borrowings. We designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Refer to "Note [9](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_127) — Derivatives Instruments" to the Company's consolidated financial statements, for further information on our interest rate swap contracts in effect as of December 31, 2025.

**Commodity Price Risk**

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk related to our purchase of steel, a significant raw material upon which our manufacturing depends. Steel costs started decreasing at the end of 2022 with prices stabilizing by the end of 2023 and during 2024 and 2025. While steel is typically available from numerous suppliers, the price of steel is a commodity subject to fluctuations that apply across broad spectrums of the steel market. We do not use any derivative or hedging instruments to manage steel price risk. If the price of steel increases, our variable costs will also increase. While historically we have successfully mitigated these increased costs through the implementation of price increases, in the future we may not be able to successfully mitigate these costs, which could cause our operating margins to decline.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc.

**Opinion on the financial statement**s

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule included under Item 15a (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"), and our report dated February 27, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion.

**Basis for opinio**n

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical audit matters**

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc.

**Opinion on internal control over financial reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 *Internal Control—Integrated Framework* issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and our report dated February 27, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

**Basis for opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting ("Management's Report"). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and Subsidiaries**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1. Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Nature of Operations*

Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc., through Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), focuses on designing, manufacturing, and marketing systems and products to make buildings and structures safe and secure. The Company designs, engineers and is a leading manufacturer of wood construction products, including connectors, truss plates, fastening systems, fasteners and shearwalls, and concrete construction products, including adhesives, specialty chemicals, mechanical anchors, powder actuated tools and fiber reinforcing materials. The Company markets its products to the residential construction, industrial, commercial and infrastructure construction, remodeling and do-it-yourself markets.

The Company operates exclusively in the building products industry. The Company's products are sold primarily in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Pacific Rim. A significant portion of the Company's business is dependent on economic activity within the North America segment. The Company's business is also dependent on the availability of steel, its primary raw material.

*Principles of Consolidation*

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. and its subsidiaries. Investments in 50.0% or less owned entities are accounted for using either cost or equity method. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2025 presentation. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reclassified certain 2024 and 2023 engineering costs related to the Company's digital efforts from research and development and engineering expense as well as selling expense to general and administrative expense. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reclassified certain 2024 and 2023 quality assurance costs from general and administrative expense to cost of sales. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

*Use of Estimates*

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation under GAAP.

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company changed its method of computing depreciation of Machinery and Equipment from accelerated methods to a straight-line method. The Company determined that the change in depreciation method is considered change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. Accordingly, a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle was applied prospectively. The effect of the change to the straight-line method resulted in a reduction of $6.8 million in depreciation expense and an estimated $5.1 million increase in net income, or approximately $0.12 per basic and $0.12 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2025.

*Cash Equivalents*

The Company classifies investments that are highly liquid and have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the value of these investments was $64.5 million and $44.7 million, respectively, consisting of money market funds. The value of the investments is based on cost, which approximates fair value based on Level 1 inputs.

*Current Estimated Credit Loss - Allowance for doubtful accounts*

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated future expected credit losses resulting from customers' failure to make payments on its accounts receivable. The Company determines the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable by considering several factors, including (1) specific information on the financial condition and the current creditworthiness of customers, (2) credit rating, (3) payment history and historical experience, (4) aging of the

------

accounts receivable, and (5) reasonable and supportable forecasts about collectability. The Company also reserves 100.0% of the amounts deemed uncollectible due to a customer's deteriorating financial condition or bankruptcy.

Every quarter, the Company evaluates the customer group using the accounts receivable aging report and its best judgment when considering changes in customers' credit ratings, level of delinquency, customers' historical payments and loss experience, current market and economic conditions, and expectations of future market and economic conditions.

The changes in the allowance for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2025 are outlined in the table below:

<sup>1</sup>Amount is net of recoveries and the effect of foreign currency fluctuations for the year ended December 31, 2025

*Concentration of Credit Risk*

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash in banks, short-term investments in money market funds and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash on demand deposit and in money market accounts held in 33 banks, and at times these cash and investments may be in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. However, we have not experienced any losses on these accounts.

*Inventory Valuation*

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Raw materials and purchased finished goods for resale — principally valued at a cost determined on a weighted average basis; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In-process products and finished goods — the cost of direct materials and labor plus attributable overhead based on a normal level of activity.

The Company applies net realizable value when making estimates for obsolescence to the gross value of inventory. Estimated net realizable value is based on estimated selling price less further costs expected to be incurred through completion and disposal. The Company impairs slow-moving products by comparing inventories on hand to projected demand. If on-hand supply of a product exceeds projected demand or if the Company believes the product is no longer marketable, the product is considered obsolete inventory. The Company revalues obsolete inventory to its net realizable value and has consistently applied this methodology. When impairments are established, a new cost basis of the inventory is created. An unexpected change in market demand, building codes or buyer preferences could reduce the rate of inventory turnover and require the recognition of more obsolete inventory.

*Other Current Assets*

Other current assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses, derivative assets-current, and other miscellaneous assets. Refer to [Note](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_127)[9](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_127) for more information for derivative assets-current. The remaining assets are less than 5% of the other current assets.

*Warranties and Recalls*

The Company provides product warranties for specific product lines and records estimated expenses in the period in which the recall occurs, none of which has been material to the consolidated financial statements. In a limited number of circumstances, the Company may also agree to indemnify customers against legal claims made against those customers by the end users of the Company's products. Historically, payments made by the Company, if any, under such agreements have not had a material effect on its consolidated statement of operations, cash flows or financial position.

*Equity Investments*

The Company accounts for investments and ownership interests under either cost or the equity method accounting when it has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have a controlling financial interest. The Company records its interest

------

in the net earnings of its equity method investees, along with adjustments for unrealized profits or losses within earnings or loss from equity interests in the consolidated statement of operations. The investment is reviewed for impairment whenever factors indicate the carrying amount might not be recoverable and the decrease in value, if any, is recognized in the period the impairment that is other-than-temporary occurs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Fair Value of Financial Instruments* 

Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unrelated market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that unrelated market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified under a three-tier fair valuation hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available in the market: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the Company's investments and liabilities in the deferred compensation plan are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy and are subject to investment risks. The fair values of interest rate and foreign currency contracts are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the Company's contingent consideration related to acquisitions is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, as these amounts are based on unobservable inputs such as management estimates and entity-specific assumptions and are evaluated on an ongoing basis.

The following tables summarize the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value for the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

(1) The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, representing money market funds traded in an active market with relatively short maturities, are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 as a component of "Cash and cash equivalents".

(2) The carrying amounts of our term loan and revolver approximate fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 based upon their terms and conditions as disclosed in Note [14](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_148) in comparison to debt instruments with similar terms and conditions available on the same date.

(3) Derivatives for interest rate, foreign exchange, and forward swap contracts are discussed in Note [9](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_127).

(4) Non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

*Derivative Instruments*

The Company uses derivative instruments as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. Foreign currency and interest rate risk are the primary market risks the Company manages through the use of derivative instruments, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges or net investment hedges under the accounting standards and carried at fair value as other current or noncurrent assets or as other current or other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assets and liabilities with the legal right of offset are not offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net deferred gains and losses related to changes in fair value of cash flow hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss ("OCI"), a component of stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets; and are reclassified into the line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged item affects earnings. The effective portion of gains and losses attributable to net investment hedges is recorded net of tax to OCI to offset the change in the carrying value of the net investment being hedged. Recognition in earnings of amounts previously recorded to

------

OCI are limited to circumstances such as complete or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the hedged foreign operation. Changes in fair value of any derivatives that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from OCI into earnings.

*Deferred Compensation Plan*

The Company established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan ("DCP" or "the Plan") in April 2023 for eligible employees and members of the Board of Directors. The Plan provides eligible participants the opportunity to defer and invest a specified percentage of their compensation, including the Company stock awards upon vesting. The Plan is a non-qualified plan that is informally funded by assets in a rabbi trust, which restricts the Company's use and access to the assets held but is subject to the claims of the Company's creditors in the event that the Company becomes insolvent. The amount of compensation to be deferred by participants is based on their own elections and are adjusted for any investment changes that the participants direct. This plan does not provide for employer contributions.

The Plan permits diversification of vested shares (common stock) into other equity securities subject to a six-month holding period subsequent to vesting. Accounting for deferred common stock will be under either plan C or plan D. Accounting will depend on whether or not the employee has diversified the common stock. Under plan C, diversification is permitted but the employee has not diversified. Under plan D, diversification is permitted and the employee has diversified.

For common stock that has not been diversified, the employer stock held in the deferred compensation plan is classified in a manner similar to treasury stock and presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company's common stock held by the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Common stock will be recorded at fair value of the stock at the time it vested, and subsequent changes in the value of the common stock is not recognized. The deferred compensation obligations are measured independently at fair value of the common stock with a corresponding charge or credit to compensation cost. Fair value is determined as the product of the common stock and the closing price of the stock each reporting period.

Under plan D, assets held by the rabbi trust are subject to applicable GAAP. The deferred compensation obligation is measured independently at fair value of the underlying assets.

The Company previously presented certain DCP transactions within existing financial statement line items of the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity for period ended December 31, 2023. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, the Company presented the equity balances related to "Non-qualified deferred compensation plan share awards" as mezzanine equity for $7.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and they were combined with stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. The Company has evaluated the errors both qualitatively and quantitatively for the period ended December 31, 2023, and has concluded that they have immaterial impact on the periods presented.

*Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions*

Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with *ASC 805, Business Combinations*. The acquisition method requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the business acquired be recognized and measured at fair value on the acquisition date, which is the date that the acquirer obtains control of the acquired business. The amount by which the fair value of consideration transferred as the purchase price exceeds the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.

Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business under the ASC are accounted for as an acquisition of assets, whereby all of the cost of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including certain transactions costs, are allocated on a relative fair value basis. Accordingly, goodwill is never recognized in an asset acquisition. Refer to Note [3](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_103) for more information.

------

*Property, Plant and Equipment*

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The *ASC 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other* provides guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The Company capitalizes qualified external costs and internal costs related to the purchase and implementation of software projects used for business operations and engineering design activities. Capitalized software costs primarily include purchased software, internal costs and external consulting fees. Capitalized software projects are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software.

*Depreciation and Amortization*

Software, including amounts capitalized for internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three to five years. Effective January 1, 2025, the Company changed its depreciation method for Machinery and Equipment from accelerated methods to a straight-line method. During 2023 and 2024, Machinery and equipment was depreciated using accelerated methods over an estimated useful life of three to ten years. For 2025, Machinery and equipment was depreciated using straight-line methods over an estimated useful life of three to ten years. Buildings and site improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 15 to 45 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the expected life or the remaining term of the lease. Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

*Preferred Stock*

The Company's Board of Directors has the authority to issue authorized and unissued preferred stock in one or more series with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, redemption, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Company's common stock.

*Common Stock*

Subject to the rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future, holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds, and in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, to share ratably in all assets available for distribution. The holders of common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights. Subject to the rights of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future, the holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on any matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders. A director in an uncontested election is elected if the votes cast "for" such director's election exceed the votes cast "against" such director's election, except that, if a stockholder properly nominates a candidate for election to the Board of Directors, the candidates with the highest number of affirmative votes (up to the number of directors to be elected) are elected. There is no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to common stock.

*Comprehensive Income or Loss*

Comprehensive income is defined as net income plus other comprehensive income or loss. Other comprehensive income or loss consists of changes in cumulative translation adjustments, changes in unamortized pension adjustments and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedge instruments, all of which are recorded directly in accumulated other comprehensive income within Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.

*Foreign Currency Translation*

The local currency is the functional currency for all of the Company's operations in Europe, Canada, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The translation adjustment resulting from this process is shown separately as a component of stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are presented below operating income.

------

*Revenue Recognition* 

Generally, the Company's revenue contract with a customer exists when (1) the goods are shipped, services are rendered, and the related invoice is generated, (2) the duration of the contract does not extend beyond the promised goods or services already transferred and (3) the transaction price of each distinct promised product or service specified in the invoice is based on its relative stated standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer at a point in time. Our shipping terms provide the primary indicator of the transfer of control. The Company's general shipping terms are Incoterm C.P.T. (F.O.B. shipping point), where the title, and risk and rewards of ownership transfer at the point when the products are no longer on the Company's premises. Other Incoterms are allowed as exceptions depending on the product or service being sold and the nature of the sale. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the invoice with a customer, excluding any sales incentives, discounts, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties (i.e., governmental tax authorities). Based on historical experience with the customer, the customer's purchasing pattern, and its significant experience selling products, the Company concluded that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty (if any) is resolved (that is, when the total amount of purchases is known).

Contract liability is recorded when consideration is received from a customer and the Company has remaining unsatisfied performance obligations.

The Company presents taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer (e.g., sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes) are excluded from revenue. Refer to Note [2](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_100) for more information.

*Cost of Sales*

Cost of sales includes material, labor, factory and tooling overhead, shipping, and freight costs. Major components of these expenses are steel and other materials, packaging and cartons, personnel costs, and facility costs, such as rent, depreciation and utilities, related to the production and distribution of the Company's products. Inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs, and other costs of the Company's distribution network are also included in cost of sales.

*Tool and Die Costs*

Tool and die costs are included in product costs in the year incurred.

*Product and Software Research and Development Costs*

Product research and development costs, which are included in operating expenses and are charged against income as incurred, were $11.5 million, $20.7 million and $24.8 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Product research and development expenses include all related personnel costs including salary, benefits, retirement, stock-based compensation costs, as well as computer and software costs, professional fees, supplies, tools and maintenance costs. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred software development expenses related to its ongoing expansion into the component manufacturing and residential markets as well as ongoing development of construction-related applications that serve multiple end markets, and some of the software development costs were capitalized that were amortized over the estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment. The Company amortizes acquired patents over their remaining lives and performs periodic reviews for impairment. The cost of internally developed patents is expensed as incurred. Refer to Note [10](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_130) for more information.

*Selling Costs*

Selling costs include expenses associated with selling, merchandising and marketing the Company's products. Major components of these expenses are personnel, sales commissions, facility costs such as rent, depreciation and utilities, professional services, information technology costs, sales promotion, advertising, literature and trade shows.

*Advertising Costs*

Advertising costs are included in selling expenses and were $12.1 million, $14.6 million, and $12.3 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

*General and Administrative Costs*

------

General and administrative costs include personnel, information technology related costs, facility costs such as rent, depreciation and utilities, professional services, amortization of intangibles and bad debt charges.

*Accounting for Leases*

The Company has operating leases for certain facilities, equipment, autos and data centers. As an accounting policy for short-term leases, the Company elected to not recognize a right-of-use asset ("ROU asset") and liability if, at the commencement date, the lease (1) has a term of 12 months or less and (2) does not include renewal and purchase options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Monthly payments on short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the full lease term.

*Stock-Based Compensation*

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to the estimated fair value of restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting term of three or four years. Stock-based compensation related to performance share grants are measured based on grant date fair value and expensed on a graded basis over the service period of the awards, which is generally a performance period of three years. The performance conditions are based on the Company's achievement of revenue growth and return on invested capital over the performance period and are evaluated for the probability of vesting at the end of each reporting period with changes in expected results cumulatively recognized as an adjustment to expense. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of restricted stock grants are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company's experience.

*Income Taxes*

Income taxes are calculated using an asset and liability approach. The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign taxes currently payable, and deferred taxes due to temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences of the deferred income tax items and immediately recognizes changes in income tax laws in the year of enactment.

*Net Income per Share* 

Basic net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive shares are included in the diluted per-share calculations using the treasury stock method for all periods when the effect of their inclusion is dilutive.

*Accounting Standards Adopted*

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 requiring enhanced income tax disclosures. The ASU requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table. The ASU also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. The requirements of the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted the ASU using the retrospective transition method, and it had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 16 for additional information.

*Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted* 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 requiring public companies to disclose, in interim and reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on the consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 that provides a practical expedient in developing forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. The amendment permits the Company to elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on a prospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on the consolidated financial statements.

------

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 that removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages throughout Subtopic 350-40. The amendment modernizes the guidance for internal-use software costs, including website development, by eliminating development stage requirements and introducing a probable-to-complete threshold for capitalization. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective, modified or retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, *Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements*, to more closely align financial reporting with the economics of an entity's risk management activities. The effective date for this ASU is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively with an option to adopt the amendments for hedging relationships existing as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

**2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers**

***Disaggregated revenue***

The Company disaggregates net sales into the following major product groups as described in its segment information included in these financial statements under Note[19](#iaf10300c939a47639468d93a1dfea0c3_163).

*Wood Construction Products Revenue*. Wood construction products represented approximately 84.4%, 85.1%, and 85.4% of total net sales in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively.

*Concrete Construction Products Revenue.* Concrete construction products represented approximately 15.5%, 14.8%, and 14.5% of total net sales in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

*Customer acceptance criteria.* Generally, there are no customer acceptance criteria included in the Company's standard sales agreement with customers. When an arrangement with the customer does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a revenue contract under the standard, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount of nonrefundable consideration received when the Company has transferred control of the goods or services and has stopped transferring (and has no obligation to transfer) additional goods or services. The Company offers certain customers discounts for paying invoices ahead of the due date, which are generally 30 to 60 days after the issue date.

*Other revenue*. Service sales, representing after-market repair and maintenance, engineering activities and software license sales and services were less than 0.5% of net sales for 2025, 2024 and 2023 and recognized as the services are completed or by transferring control over a product to a customer at a point in time. Services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. The typical contract length for services is generally less than one year. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual services separately when they are distinct within the context of the contract. A distinct service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate services in a bundle based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the services.

***Reconciliation of contract balances***

Contract assets are the right to receive consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities are recorded for any services or sales orders billed to customers and not yet recognizable if the contract period has commenced or for the amount collected from customers in advance of the contract period commencing. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no material contract assets from contracts with customers*.***

------

***Other accounting considerations***

*Volume discounts.* Volume discounts are accounted for as variable considerations because the transaction price is uncertain until the customer completes or fails to purchase the specified volume of purchases (consideration is contingent on a future outcome - occurrence or nonoccurrence). In addition, the Company applies the volume rebate or discount retrospectively, because the final price of each product or service sold depends on the customer's total purchases subject to the rebate program. Estimated rebates are deducted from revenues based on the gross transaction price and historical experience with the customer.

*Rights of return and other allowances.* Rights of return create variability in the transaction price. The Company accounts for returned product during the return period as a refund to customer and not a performance obligation. The estimated allowance for returns is based on historical percentage of returns and allowance from prior periods and the customer's historical purchasing pattern. This estimate is deducted from revenues based on the gross transaction price.

*Principal versus Agent.* The Company considered the principal versus agent guidance of the revenue recognition standard and concluded that the Company is the principal in a third-party transaction. The Company manufactures its products and has control over the transfer of its products to Dealer Distributors, Contract Distributors, and end customers.

*Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.* Costs incurred to obtain a contract are immaterial. Commission cost is not an incremental cost directly related to obtaining a contract.

*Shipping costs.* The Company recognizes shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of goods as a fulfillment cost rather than as an additional promised service. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue and accrues shipping and handling costs when the control of goods transfers to the customer upon shipment.

*Advertising costs.* Cooperative advertising and partnership discounts are consideration payable to a customer and not payment in exchange for a distinct product or service at fair value. Estimated cooperative advertising and partnership discounts are reductions of the transaction price.

**3. Acquisitions**

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed three acquisitions that were not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements, individually and in aggregate. Accordingly, pro-forma historical results of operations related to these business acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2024 have not been presented, but summarized below.

On June 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the operating assets and assumed liabilities of Calculated Structured Designs, Inc. ("CSD"), a software development company providing solutions for the engineered wood, engineering, design and building industries in North America, Australia and the UK.

On August 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the operating assets and assumed liabilities of Monet DeSauw Inc. and certain properties of Callaway Properties, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, "Monet") for a total purchase consideration of approximately $48.7 million net of cash received and liabilities assumed. Monet specializes in the production of large-scale saws and material handling equipment for the truss industry in the United States.

On September 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the operating assets and assumed liabilities of QuickFrames USA, LLC ("QuickFrames"), a manufacturer of pre-engineered structural support systems for commercial construction with sales in North America.

The following table summarizes the Company's purchase price allocations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition dates for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, including the related estimated useful lives, where applicable:

| Goodwill | 29501 |  |
| Liabilities assumed | (10679) |  |
| Total net assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $79267 |  |

---

During fiscal 2025, the Company finalized the purchase price allocations and recorded certain measurement period adjustments for conditions that existed at the acquisition date, resulting in a decrease to goodwill of $3.3 million with offsets primarily to trade names, developed technology, and customer relationships.

The amount of goodwill generated from these acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes.

**5. Stockholders' Equity**

***Stock Repurchases***

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was signed into law. The provisions included a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax ("CAMT"), an excise tax of 1.0% on stock buybacks, and significant tax incentives for energy and climate initiatives, all effective for tax year 2023 and onwards. The Company is not subject to the provisions of CAMT and does not expect the impact of the remaining provisions to be material.

On October 23, 2024, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. On October 23, 2025, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase an additional $20.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock through the end of the year, increasing the 2025 share repurchase authorization to $120.0 million. On October 23, 2025, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $150.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.

------

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares of the Company's common stock in the open market at an average price of $171.43 per share, for a total of $120.0 million under the previously announced $120.0 million repurchase authorization (which expired at the end of 2025). As of December 31, 2025, the Company accrued approximately $0.3 million for the excise tax, which is included as a cost of treasury stock; however, this is not reflected in the share repurchase amounts above.

***Comprehensive Income or Loss***

The following shows the components of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively:

**6. Stock-Based Compensation**

The Company currently maintains the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan") as its only equity incentive plan. Under the 2011 Plan, no more than 16.3 million shares of the Company's common stock in aggregate may be issued, including shares already issued pursuant to prior awards granted under the 2011 Plan. Shares of common stock underlying awards to be issued pursuant to the 2011 Plan are registered under the Securities Act. Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company currently intends to award only performance-based stock units ("PSUs") and/or time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs").

The following table shows the Company's stock-based compensation activity:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Fiscal Years Ended December 31,** | **Fiscal Years Ended December 31,** | **Fiscal Years Ended December 31,** |
| *(in thousands)*  | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |

| Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax | $12929 | $9908 | $14918 |

---

The Company allocates stock-based compensation expense amongst cost of sales, research and development and other engineering expense, selling expense, or general and administrative expense based on the job functions performed by the employees to whom the stock-based compensation is awarded. Stock-based compensation capitalized in inventory was immaterial for all periods presented.

The following table summarizes the Company's unvested restricted stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2025:

---

| Outstanding as of January 1, 2025 | 336 | $130.42 | $55333 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Awarded | 119 | 165.81 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vested | (98) | 126.58 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeited | (18) | 146.52 |  |
| Outstanding as of December 31, 2025 | 339 | $144.67 | $54755 |
| Outstanding and expected to vest at December 31, 2025 | 309 |  | $49841 |

---

\* The intrinsic value for outstanding and expected to vest is calculated using the closing price per share of $161.47, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on December 31, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 124 thousand RSUs and PSUs to the Company's employees, including officers at an estimated weighted average fair value of $165.81 per share, based on the closing price (adjusted for certain market factors primarily the present value of dividends) of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The RSUs and PSUs granted to the Company's employees may be time-based, performance-based or time- and performance-based. Certain PSUs are granted to officers and key employees, where the number of performance-based awards to be issued is based on the achievement of certain Company performance criteria established in the award agreement over a cumulative three years period. These awards cliff vest after three years. In addition, these same officers and key employees also receive time-based RSUs, which vest pursuant to a three-year graded vesting schedule. Time and performance-based RSUs granted to the Company's employees excluding officers and certain key employees, vest ratably over the four-year life of the award and through 2020, required the underlying shares of the Company's common stock to be subject to a performance-based adjustment during the first year and starting in 2021, were time-based awards which vest ratable over the four-year life of the award.

The Company's seven non-employee directors serving during 2025 are entitled to receive approximately $1.0 million in equity compensation annually. The number of shares granted is based on the average closing share price for the Company over the 60 days period prior to approval of the award in the second quarter of each year. In January and May 2025, the Company granted 6,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the non-employee directors, based on the average closing price of $155.09 per share and recognized total expense of $0.9 million.

The total intrinsic value of RSUs and PSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $17.0 million, $31.8 million and $20.3 million, respectively, based on the market value on the vest date.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's aggregate unamortized stock compensation expense was approximately $23.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years.

***Stock Bonus Plan***

The Company also maintains the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 1994 Employee Stock Bonus Plan (the "Stock Bonus Plan"), whereby it awards shares of the Company's common stock to employees, who do not otherwise participate in any of the Company's equity-based incentive plans and meet minimum service requirements. Shares have generally been awarded under the Stock Bonus Plan following the year in which the respective employee reached his or her tenth, twentieth, thirtieth, fortieth or fiftieth anniversary of employment with the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof.

The Company awarded shares for service through 2025, 2024, and 2023 as shown below:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,** | **December 31,** | **December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Shares to be issued | 18887 | 21266 | 9800 |
| Shares settled with cash (foreign employees) | 1872 | 763 | 4900 |
| Total awards | 20759 | 22029 | 14700 |

---

------

As a result, we recorded pre-tax compensation charges of $3.4 million, $3.7 million, and $1.9 million for years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These charges include cash bonuses to compensate employees for income taxes payable as a result of the stock bonuses.

**9. Derivative Instruments**

The Company enters into derivative instrument agreements, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross currency swaps to manage risk in connection with changes in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company hedges committed exposures and does not engage in speculative transactions. The Company only enters into derivative instrument agreements with counterparties who have highly rated credit.

As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate notional amount of the Company's outstanding interest rate contracts, cross currency swap contracts, EUR forward contract, and net investment hedge were $365.6 million, $383.3 million, $321.7 million, and $557.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate notional amount of the Company's outstanding interest rate contracts, cross currency swap contracts, and EUR forward contracts were $388.1 million, $406.9 million, and $321.7 million, respectively.

In May 2025, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap expiring in May 2032 to hedge its exposure to adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements for its operations in Europe, which qualifies as net investment hedge. For the derivative instrument, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument attributable to changes in the spot rate is reported in the CTA section of OCI and will remain in OCI until the hedged net investment is sold or liquidated. The Company has elected to assess hedge effectiveness based on changes in spot exchange rates. Under this method, the Company recognizes in earnings the initial value of the component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness over the life of the hedging instrument. The interest accruals are also recognized in earnings (interest expense). Any difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized in earnings will be recognized in the CTA section of OCI.

---

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, a gain of $36.5 million and $13.9 million, respectively, on the net investment hedge were included in OCI. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, deferred gains from the forward points of $9.5 million and $5.1 million were reclassified from OCI to interest expense, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate fair values of the Company's derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheet were comprised of an asset of $13.7 million, of which $13.1 million is included in other current assets, and the balance of $0.6 million as other non-current assets, and of a noncurrent liability of $80.9 million included as deferred income tax and other long-term liabilities.

As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate fair values of the Company's derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheet were comprised of an asset of $32.4 million, of which $13.6 million is included in other current assets, and the balance of $18.8 million as other non-current assets, and of a noncurrent liability of $7.2 million included as deferred income tax and other long-term liabilities.

------

As of December 31, 2025, the Company expects it will reclassify net gains of approximately $7.4 million, currently recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, into interest expense in earnings within the next twelve months. However, the actual amount reclassified could vary due to future changes in the fair value of these derivatives.

The Company capitalizes certain development costs associated with internal use software, including the direct costs of services provided by third-party consultants and payroll for internal employees, both of which are performing development and implementation activities on a software project. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had capitalized software development costs net of accumulated amortization of $41.3 million and $35.9 million, respectively, included in machinery and equipment and as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, and $17.7 million and $16.1 million, respectively, was included in capital projects in progress.

*Assets held-for sale*

In January 2025, the Company made the decision to sell its vacant land that is part of the Company's North America segment. The Company determined that the long-lived asset meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale in its financial statements and expected to be sold during 2026. The Company presented the asset's carrying value of approximately $2.4 million in "Other current assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Asset sale*

In July 2025, the Company sold its existing facility in Gallatin, Tennessee which is part of the Company's Administrative and All Other segment for approximately $19.0 million in net proceeds after closing costs and sale price adjustments, which resulted in a gain on disposal of fixed assets of $12.9 million. The Company recognized the gain as income from operations with the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. To provide a temporary transition until the Company relocates to the new facility, the Company has leased back the sold facility from the buyer for approximately five months. The Company treated the leaseback transaction as a short-term lease and will recognize the rent expense on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

**11. Goodwill and Intangible Assets**

***Goodwill***

The annual changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows, respectively:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *(in thousands)* | **North<br>America** | **Europe** | **Asia<br>Pacific** | **Total** |
| Balance as of December 31, 2023 | $101558 | $399693 | $1299 | $502550 |

| Reclassifications <sup>1</sup> | (3319) |  |  | (3319) |
| Foreign exchange | 132 | 49267 | 91 | 49490 |
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $130961 | $426283 | $1277 | $558521 |

---

<sup>1</sup> During the period ended December 31, 2025, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of QuickFrames that resulted in $3.3 million decrease in goodwill with offsets primarily to trade names, developed technology, and customer relationships. The final amounts are measurement period adjustments for conditions that existed at the acquisition date.

*Goodwill Impairment Testing*

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis (in the fourth quarter). The goodwill balance is not amortized to expense, and the Company may assess qualitative or quantitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to complete quantitative impairment assessments.

The Company determined that the U.S. reporting unit includes four components: Northwest United States, Southwest United States, Northeast United States and Southeast United States. The Australia reporting unit includes two components: Australia and New Zealand. For each of these reporting units, the Company aggregated the components because management concluded that they are economically similar, and that the goodwill is recoverable from these components working in concert.

In 2025 and 2024, the Company applied the ("Step 0") approach to assess qualitative factors related to the goodwill of the reporting units to determine whether it is necessary to perform an impairment test. For this qualitative assessment, the Company assessed various assumptions, events and circumstances that would have affected the estimated fair value of the reporting units. Based on the qualitative assessment performed, the Company concluded that there was no evidence of events or circumstances that would indicate a material change from the Company's last quantitative assessment performed in 2023 by reporting unit and therefore, it was more likely than not that the estimated fair value of reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values.

The 2025 and 2024 annual testing of goodwill for impairment did not result in impairment charges. "See Item 7 - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - *Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets*".

***Amortizable Intangible Assets***

Intangible assets from acquired businesses or asset purchases are recognized at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition and consist of patents, unpatented technology, non-compete agreements, trademarks, customer relationships and other intangible assets. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized to expense over the applicable useful lives, ranging from three to twenty-one years, based on the nature of the asset and the underlying pattern of economic benefit as reflected by future net cash inflows. The Company performs an impairment test of finite-lived intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying value may be impaired.

The total gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2025, was $526.7 million and $139.0 million, respectively. The aggregate amount of amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $26.7 million, $24.8 million and $23.5 million, respectively. The weighted-average remaining amortization period for all amortizable intangibles on a combined basis is 6.3 years as of December 31, 2025.

**12. Leases**

The Company has operating leases for certain facilities, equipment and automobiles. The existing operating leases expire at various dates through 2039, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years. The Company measured the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments are discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company measured the right-of-use ("ROU") assets at the amount at which the lease liability is recognized plus initial direct costs incurred or prepayment amounts. The ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The following table provides a summary of operating leases included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, and the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

In July 2025, the Company sold its existing facility in Gallatin, Tennessee for approximately $19.0 million in net proceeds after closing costs and sale price adjustments, which resulted in an estimated gain on disposal of fixed assets of $12.9 million. To provide a temporary transition until the Company relocates to the new facility, the Company is leasing back the sold facility from the buyer for approximately five months. The Company treated the leaseback transaction as a short-term lease and will recognize the rent expense on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

**14. Debt**

On December 16, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), which amends and restates the Company's previous agreement dated March 30, 2022. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a 5-year $600.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a letter of credit-sub-facility up to $50.0 million, and a 5-year term loan facility of $300.0 million.

The Company borrowed $300.0 million under the term loan facility to refinance existing debt. In addition, the Company incurred $2.0 million of debt issuance costs, which are classified in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, that have been deferred and are being amortized over the 5-year term of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will be used to fund acquisitions and other investments permitted under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and for ongoing working capital and general business needs. As of December 31, 2025, there were $74.2 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

The Company is required to pay an annual revolving credit facility fee of 0.1% to 0.3% per annum on the available commitments under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, regardless of usage, with the applicable fee determined on a quarterly basis based on the Company's net leverage ratio. The fee is included within Interest expense, net and other in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Amounts borrowed under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will bear interest from time to time at either Base Rate, Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR, Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR, in each case, as calculated under and as in effect from time to time under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, plus the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Applicable Margin is determined based on the Company's net leverage ratio, and ranges (i) from 0.00% to 0.75% per annum for amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility that bear interest at Base Rate, (ii) from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum for amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility that bear interest at Eurocurrency Rate, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR, (iii) from 0.00% to 0.50% per annum for amounts borrowed

------

under the Revolving Credit Facility that bear interest at Base Rate, (iv) from 0.6826% to 1.5326% per annum for amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility that bear interest at Daily Simple RFR (solely to the extent denominated in pound sterling) and (v) from 0.65% to 1.50% per annum for amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility that bear interest at Daily Simple RFR (other than loans denominated in pound sterling) or Eurocurrency Rate. Loans outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time without penalty except for customary breakage costs and expenses. Based on current principal payment expectations, the annual interest rate on the outstanding debt will be approximately 1.0% over the life of the debt including the effects of the interest rate swap and other derivatives noted above.

On March 30, 2022, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility (the "Amended and Restated Credit Facility"), which amended and restated the Company's previous Credit Agreement, dated July 27, 2012. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility provided for a 5-year $600.0 million revolving line of credit, which included a letter of credit-sub-facility up to $50.0 million, and a 5-year term loan facility of $300.0 million. There were no borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility at December 31, 2025. In addition, the Company's balance of $1.8 million debt issuance costs that have been deferred, remained classified in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and are being amortized over the 5-year terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2025, in addition to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries are guarantors for a credit agreement between certain of its foreign subsidiaries and institutional lenders. Together, all credit facilities provide the Company with a total of $532.8 million in available revolving credit lines and an irrevocable standby letter of credit in support of various insurance deductibles.

The Company has $374.2 million, excluding deferred financing costs, outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is the estimated fair value as of December 31, 2025. There were $388.1 million outstanding balances under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024.

The following is a schedule, by years, of maturities for the remaining term loan facility as of December 31, 2025:

**15. Commitments and Contingencies**

*Purchase Obligations*

In addition to the debt and lease obligations described in the footnotes, the Company has certain purchase obligations in the ordinary course of business. These purchase obligations are primarily related to the acquisition, and construction or expansion of facilities and equipment. The Company is not a party to any long-term supply contracts with respect to the purchase of raw materials or finished goods. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has steel purchase obligations that are expected to be settled during the year.

------

*Employee Relations*

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 19.4% of our employees are represented by labor unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements in the U.S. The Company has two-facility locations with collective bargaining agreements covering tool and die craftsmen, maintenance workers, and sheet-metal workers. In Stockton, California, two union contracts will expire in June 2027 and September 2028, respectively. In Riverside, California, two union contracts will expire in June 2026 and March 2029, respectively. The Company has one facility located in Enfield, Connecticut, with a collective bargaining agreement covering shipping workers. This union contract will expire in December 2029. France also has two collectively bargained agreements, one under the Convention collective nationale de la métallurgie and the other under Plasturgie. Based on current information and subject to future events and circumstances, the Company believes that, even if new agreements are not reached before the existing labor union contracts expire, it is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to provide products to customers or on the Company's profitability.

*Environmental*

The Company's policy with regard to environmental liabilities is to accrue for future environmental assessments and remediation costs when information becomes available that indicates that it is probable that the Company is liable for any related claims and assessments and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. The Company does not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

*Litigation and Potential Claims* 

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business. Corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, cracking, material hardness, wood pressure-treating chemicals, misinstallations, misuse, design and assembly flaws, manufacturing defects, labeling defects, product formula defects, inaccurate chemical mixes, adulteration, environmental conditions, or other factors can contribute to failure of fasteners, connectors, anchors, adhesives, specialty chemicals, such as fiber reinforced polymers, and tool products. In addition, inaccuracies may occur in product information, descriptions and instructions found in catalogs, packaging, data sheets, and the Company's website.

The resolution of any claim or litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

The valuation allowances increased by $1.6 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in the 2025 and 2024 valuation allowances was primarily due to the increase in net operating losses in Europe.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company asserts that its accumulated undistributed earnings generated by the Company's foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested and as such, has not recognized a US deferred tax liability on its investment in foreign subsidiaries.

During 2025, the Company's uncertain tax positions decreased by $1.3 million, primarily due to positions for open years assumed in a prior acquisition. Tax positions of $1.1 million, $1.5 million, and $2.0 million are included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, which if recognized, would reduce our effective tax rate.

The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in accordance with the Company's accounting policy. The Company accrued $1.9 million, $1.4 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively for the potential payment of interest and penalties before income tax benefits.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company is subject to federal income tax examinations in the U.S. for the tax years 2022 through 2025. In addition, tax years 2020 through 2025 remain open in various states, local and foreign jurisdictions.

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into the law. The provisions included a new CAMT, an excise tax on stock buybacks, and significant tax incentives for energy and climate initiatives, all effective for tax year 2023 and onwards. The Company is not subject to the provisions of CAMT and does not expect the impact of the remaining provisions to be material.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the 2021 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. Key provisions include modifications to depreciation allowances and the treatment of research and development expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective for the 2025 tax year and others being implemented through 2027.

**17. Retirement Plans**

The Company has seven defined contribution retirement plans covering substantially all salaried employees and nonunion hourly employees. The Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") covers non-union U.S. employees and provides for quarterly safe harbor contributions, limited to 3.0% of the employees' quarterly eligible compensation and for annual discretionary contributions, subject to certain limitations. The discretionary amounts for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were equal to 7.0% of qualifying salaries or wages of the covered employees. The same plan also has a carve out for employees collectively bargained under Teamsters Local No. 671 whereby the plan provides quarterly safe harbor contributions, limited to 3.0% of the employees' quarterly eligible compensation only. The Company has the Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. SMW Supplemental 401(k) Plan where it makes periodic contributions to this plan in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement. For 2025, the Company contributed 1.0% of the covered employees' qualifying salaries and wages. The other five defined contribution plans, covering the Company's European and Canadian employees, require the Company to make contributions ranging from 3.0% to 15.0% of the employees' compensation. The total cost for these retirement plans for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, was $31.3 million, $29.7 million, and $26.8 million, respectively.

We participate in various multiemployer benefit plans that cover some of our employees who are represented by labor unions**.** We make periodic contributions to these plans in accordance with the terms of applicable collective bargaining agreements and laws but do not sponsor or administer these plans**.** We do not participate in any multiemployer benefit plans for which we consider our contributions to be individually significant. If we withdraw from participation in any of these plans, the applicable law will require us to fund our allocable share of the unfunded vested benefits, which is known as a withdrawal liability. As of December 31, 2025, we believe that there was no probable withdrawal liability under the multiemployer benefit pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees.

------

Our total contribution to various industry-wide, union-sponsored pension funds and a statutorily required pension fund for employees in the U.S. and Europe were $6.3 million, $6.1 million and $5.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**18. Related Party Transactions**

The total expenses were not material to the Company, and the majority of the expenses were recorded within general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statement of Operations during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**19. Segment Information**

The Company is organized into three reporting segments defined by the regions where the Company's products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to the Company's customers. The financial information of these segments is available and utilized by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company's CODM, to assess the segments' performance. The primary measurements used to measure the financial performance of the segments are revenue, gross margins, and operating margins to decide whether to reinvest the profits, make acquisitions, pay down debt or borrow, or to return capital to stockholders via dividends and share repurchases.

The three regional segments are the North America segment (comprised primarily of the Company's operations in the U.S. and Canada), the Europe segment and the Asia/Pacific segment (comprised of the Company's operations in Asia, the South Pacific, and the Middle East). These segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials used, the production processes, the distribution channels and the product applications.

The Administrative & All Other column primarily includes expenses such as self-insured workers compensation claims for employees, stock-based compensation for certain members of management, interest expense, foreign exchange gains or losses and income tax expense, as well as revenues and expenses related to real estate activities.

The following table presents financial information of each segment that is used by the CODM to assess the performance of segments for periods ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

\* Sales to other segments are eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash collected by the Company's U.S. subsidiaries is routinely transferred into the Company's cash management accounts and therefore is in the total assets of "Administrative & All Other." Cash and cash equivalent balances in "Administrative & All Other" were $225.3 million, $126.1 million and $386.6 million as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $152.1 million, or 39.6%, of its cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. in accounts belonging to the Company's various foreign operating entities. The majority of this balance is held in foreign currencies and could be subject to additional taxation if repatriated to the U.S.

The significant non-cash charges comprise compensation related to equity awards under the Company's stock-based incentive plans, the Company's employee stock bonus plan, and the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company's measure of profit or loss for its reportable segments is income (loss) from operations. The reconciling amounts

between consolidated income before tax and consolidated income from operations are net interest income (expense), net and other, and foreign exchange gain (loss). Interest income (expense) is primarily attributed to "Administrative & All Other."

The following table shows the geographic distribution of the Company's net sales and long-lived assets as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures.**

None.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.**

*Disclosure Controls and Procedures.* As of December 31, 2025, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the chief executive officer the ("CEO") and the chief financial officer (the "CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed reasonably to assure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed reasonably to assure that this information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company's management, including the CEO and the CFO, does not, however, expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or the Company's internal control over financial reporting will prevent all fraud and material errors. Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. The inherent limitations in internal control over financial reporting include the realities that judgments can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls also can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of internal control is also based in part on assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be only reasonable, not absolute assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential events and conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

*Management*'*s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting*. The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, using the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, has also audited the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, as stated in their report included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the year ended December 31, 2025, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Item 9B. Other Information.**

None of the Company's directors or officers adopted, modified, or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement during the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025, as such terms are defined under Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
