NCI Building Systems Announces $50 Million Stock Repurchase Program
HOUSTON, Jan. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NCI Building Systems, Inc. (NYSE: NCS) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program for up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of the company's outstanding common stock.
Mr. Norman C. Chambers, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We were able to generate significant cash from operating activities in fiscal 2015 and anticipate doing so again in fiscal 2016. Management and the Board of Directors believe that based on our current outlook for both operating performance and the nonresidential markets for fiscal 2016, the repurchase program gives us the option to capitalize on opportunities provided by the market to create additional shareholder value, while maintaining our continuing expectation to reduce the company's debt by $40 million in fiscal 2016."
Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares in open-market purchases in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company may commence such repurchases immediately, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. The Company may enter into a pre-arranged stock trading plan in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 to effectuate the Company's stock repurchase plan. The Company expects to finance any repurchases from a combination of cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities. The timing and method of any repurchases, which will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, are subject to results of operations, financial conditions, cash requirements and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
