"In the fourth quarter, our architectural segment turned in an especially strong revenue performance in a more stable, but still very competitive commercial construction market. The large-scale optical segment continues to benefit from its success in converting the picture framing market to value-added glass.

"During the quarter, we continued to make progress on our initiatives to increase architectural market share and to improve future performance in this segment," said Huffer. "Our architectural glass capacity expansion to serve growth in our core, higher-end markets is on schedule for a fiscal 2006 second quarter startup (STARTing UP) "At startup" means when the computer is first turned on or when a program is first loaded.

OUTLOOK FOR FY06

"Building on our strong performance in fiscal 2005, we are anticipating earnings growth approaching 20 percent in fiscal 2006, to $0.68 to $0.72 per share," Huffer said. "Excluding unusual items, our earnings growth is expected to be approximately 40 percent next year. (These items include $0.05 per share from proceeds of a class action lawsuit class action lawsuit

 changed from previous guidance, but because of our especially strong fourth quarter sales, our top-line growth target is now 6 to 8 percent," said Huffer. "We anticipate continued growth in our architectural segment revenues, modest growth in our large-scale optical segment and an ongoing decline in auto glass segment sales.

"Our longer-term goal is to achieve an average of 8 percent annual revenue growth and 20 percent annual earnings per share growth over the three-year period from fiscal 2006 to 2008," he said. "We expect continued improvement in architectural segment margins as we see market share growth in more attractive segments of the market, including new office construction and building renovation. For our large-scale optical segment, we anticipate continued conversion to value-added products, although current high margins will likely be flat to slightly down, in part as a result of our strategy to drive conversion by making products more affordable at the consumer level.

"We expect fiscal 2006 architectural segment revenue growth of 6 to 9 percent, based on our solid first-half backlog and strong quote activity for second-half work yet to be secured. This growth rate reflects the market improvement projected by F.W.

 capacity and continued success with our initiatives. When taking into account the approximately $15 million in architectural revenues that moved into the first quarter of fiscal 2005 from the prior year, our overall growth outlook for fiscal 2006 is greater than 6 to 9 percent," he said. "To achieve the higher end Coordinates:

Higher End or Billinge Higher End is a district of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, in Greater Manchester, England.
 of this range, we will need to see continued market improvement, including pricing.

"Our commercial construction markets are expected to grow this year after several down years, based on the most recent estimate from Dodge for calendar 2004," Huffer said. "Dodge anticipates overall non-residential construction market growth of 5 percent." Dodge's estimate for calendar 2004 correlates to Apogee's fiscal 2006 due to the average nine-month lag between project starts and the installation of glass on buildings.

"The large-scale optical segment is expected to continue to grow value-added glass sales more than 20 percent," he said. "We expect slight growth in overall segment revenues in fiscal 2006 as we continue to convert the market to value-added framing products, while consumer electronics revenues further decline.

"Although, our auto glass business faces difficult market conditions, we expect it to continue to generate cash for Apogee," Huffer said. "In fiscal 2006, with the expiration EXPIRATION. Cessation; end. As, the expiration of, a lease, of a contract, or statute.
