    --  Sales rose 1.5% to $469.4 million for the quarter, compared to $462.4

    --  Adjusted EBITDA was $50.4 million or 10.7% of revenue for the quarter,

    --  Total consolidated backlog increased to $580.7 million, up 4.2%
        year-over-year

"We are pleased to have advanced important aspects of our growth plans during a quarter that also reflects challenging and abnormal year-over-year comparisons. We achieved key objectives in the quarter managing ESG&A and manufacturing cost down, passing through higher materials costs and delivering double-digit growth in our IMP business line. While the market hesitancy has lasted longer than originally expected, we continue to see growth trends in quoting and order activity across all of our markets and positive key forward-looking indicators," said Donald R. Riley, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We remain focused on maintaining our commercial discipline, controlling costs and improving manufacturing efficiencies that will enable us to generate year-over-year earnings growth."

Third Quarter 2017 Results

Third quarter 2017 sales increased to $469.4 million, up 1.5% from $462.4 million in last year's third quarter, due to continued commercial discipline in the pass-through of higher costs in a rising steel price environment predominately in the Buildings and Components segments. On a year-over-year basis, tonnage volumes were lower in all three segments. The second half of 2017 is expected to reflect a more normalized seasonal pattern where the fourth quarter is anticipated to be stronger than the third quarter's performance. The year-over-year comparisons in most of the Company's financial metrics reflect the abnormal seasonal pattern in 2016, where the third quarter volumes and financial results were stronger than the fourth quarter. The third quarter of 2016 benefited from the pull forward of work, particularly in the legacy Components segment and a favorable material cost environment.

Gross profit was $115.0 million this quarter, down from $128.0 million in the third quarter of 2016 and gross profit margins were 24.5% for the this year's third quarter compared to 27.7% in the third quarter of 2016. Gross margins improved sequentially from 24.0% in the second quarter of the year as a result of improved pass-through of higher material cost. However, margins were lower than the prior year period due to lower plant utilization levels and a less favorable material cost environment.

Engineering, selling, general and administrative ("ESG&A") expenses were $76.3 million this quarter, compared to $80.4 million in the third quarter of 2016. As a percentage of revenues, ESG&A expenses decreased approximately 110 basis points to 16.3% in the 2017 third quarter compared to 17.4% in the prior year's third quarter, primarily driven by the Company's cost reduction initiatives and lower incentive compensation costs.

Operating income for the quarter was $34.1 million, compared to $43.5 million in the prior year's third quarter. Adjusted Operating Income, a non-GAAP measure which excludes certain identified items, was $36.5 million in the current quarter, compared to $45.1 million in the third quarter of 2016.

Net income applicable to common shares in this quarter was $18.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, compared to $23.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share in the prior year's third quarter. Net income was impacted by the following special items: $1.0 million of restructuring and impairment charges predominately attributable to severance costs, $1.3 million of strategic development and acquisition related costs related to the refinancing of the Company's Term Loan and Asset Backed Lending Facility offset by $0.9 million from the related tax effect of these items. Excluding the impact of these special items, the Company reported Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP measure, of $19.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, compared to $24.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, defined in accordance with the Company's Credit Agreement as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other cash and non-cash items, was $50.4 million this quarter, compared to $57.8 million in the prior year's third quarter. The lower Adjusted EBITDA in this year's third quarter is partially the result of the return to a more normalized seasonal pattern in fiscal 2017.

Please see the reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA in the accompanying financial tables.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter was $45.9 million, compared to $50.7 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Cash and cash equivalents decreased sequentially from $49.7 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as a result of an increase in inventories. NCI's net debt leverage ratio (net debt/EBITDA) at the end of the third quarter was 2.0x. In addition, the Company's $150.0 million ABL facility remained undrawn as of July 30, 2017.

Third Quarter 2017 Segment Performance

Third party sales in the Buildings segment increased 3.8% to $182.2 million in the third quarter, up from $175.5 million in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the pass-through of higher costs and improved pricing. Operating income decreased to $14.9 million this quarter compared to $19.6 million in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted Operating Income decreased to $15.9 million in the current quarter, compared to $19.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The year-over-year decrease in the Building segment's operating margins relates largely to a less favorable material cost environment compared to the third quarter of 2016 and lower plant utilization during the period.

The Components segment generated $258.5 million in third-party sales during the quarter, an increase of 0.9% from $256.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, led by growth in the insulated panel product lines, as well as commercial pricing discipline across the segment. Operating income was $35.3 million for the quarter compared to $37.5 million in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted Operating Income was $35.4 million, compared to $37.8 million in the third quarter fiscal 2016. The Components segment's profitability was impacted by lower volumes and capacity utilization across the legacy single skin product lines, offset by improved insulated panel sales.

Third party sales in the Coatings segment were $28.7 million compared, to $30.7 million in last year's third quarter. Operating income was $6.6 million for the quarter compared to $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. Operating margins in the Coatings group were impacted by lower external and internal volumes resulting in lower plant utilization.

Market Commentary

The key leading indicators that NCI follows and that typically have the most meaningful correlation to nonresidential low-rise construction starts are the American Institute of Architects' ("AIA") Architecture Mixed Use Index, the Dodge Residential single family starts and the Conference Board Leading Economic Index ("LEI"). Historically, there has been a very high correlation to low-rise nonresidential starts when the three leading indicators are combined and then seasonally adjusted. The combined forward projection of these metrics, based on a 9 to 14-month historical lag for each metric, indicates an expected positive growth of 3.0% to 6.0% for low-rise new construction starts in fiscal 2017.

Internal bookings and quoting activity indicates a continuation of low single digit growth as compared to the prior year. Offices and banks, government and recreational end-markets have shown positive year-over-year growth. In NCI's geographic markets New England and the Pacific regions showed the strongest growth during the quarter.

Outlook and Guidance

The Company's two ongoing cost savings initiatives in manufacturing consolidation and ESG&A are expected to generate $30 to $40 million in cost savings by the end of 2018, of which $12 million was realized in fiscal 2016. During fiscal 2017, these two initiatives are anticipated to generate an incremental $10.0 million in realized cost savings. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, management accelerated $7 to $9 million in annualized cost savings originally planned for fiscal 2018, both accelerating and further ensuring the achievement of the total cost savings range anticipated for these programs.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, NCI expects revenues to be in the range of $470 to $500 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $48 - $62 million. The fourth quarter EBITDA range includes an estimated impact of $3 to $8 million related to potential temporary disruptions from Hurricane Harvey, primarily resulting from the impact to customer job sites and their readiness for product delivery. For the full year fiscal 2017, the Company is revising its expected revenue range to $1.75 to $1.78 billion and expects fiscal 2017 Adjusted EBITDA to be $162 to $176 million for the year. The downward revisions to the fourth quarter, as well as annual revenues and Adjusted EBITDA are a result of the softer market activity seen in the third quarter, which is expected to continue into the fourth quarter, particularly in the legacy Components segment and the impact of Hurricane Harvey.

             (1)    The Company calculated the tax effect of non-
                     GAAP adjustments by applying the applicable
                     statutory tax rate for the period to each
                     applicable non-GAAP item.


             (2)    The Company discloses a tabular comparison of
                     Adjusted net income per diluted common share
                     and Adjusted net income applicable to common
                     shares, which are non-GAAP measures, because
                     they are referred to in the text of our press
                     releases and are instrumental in comparing
                     the results from period to period.  Adjusted
                     net income per diluted common share and
                     Adjusted net income applicable to common
                     shares should not be considered in isolation
                     or as a substitute for net income per diluted
                     common share and net income applicable to

    (1)              The Company's Credit Agreement defines Adjusted
                     EBITDA.  Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash
                     charges for goodwill and other asset impairments
                     and stock compensation as well as certain special
                     charges.  As such, the historical information is
                     presented in accordance with the definition
                     above.  Concurrent with the amendment and
                     restatement of the Term Loan facility, the
                     Company entered into an Asset-Based  Lending
                     facility which has substantially the same
                     definition of Adjusted EBITDA except that the ABL
                     facility caps certain special charges.  The
                     Company is disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, which is a
                     non-GAAP measure, because it is used by
                     management and provided to investors to provide
                     comparability of underlying operational results.
