Forward guidance

We are seeing favorable demand conditions develop as we look forward. While Steel Framing pricing and soft office demand remain headwinds, we are seeing sequentially improving US single-family permits and starts, still solid multi-family activity, and put-in-place construction spending growth in most commercial applications. Given our scale, wide range of product offerings and expertise in providing outstanding service to each of our end markets, we believe we are well positioned for future growth and to deliver value to our shareholders.
