Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 3, 2008, NCI Building Systems, Inc. (“NCI”) issued a press release announcing NCI’s financial results for the quarter ended January 27, 2008. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

NCI’s press release included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Earnings Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. NCI reports these measures because they are widely accepted financial indicators in the metal construction industry of a company’s profitability, ability to finance its operations, and meet its growth plans. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by NCI internally to make acquisition and investment decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated based on the terms contained in NCI’s senior credit agreement. Adjusted Earnings Per Share excludes the dilutive impact of NCI’s convertible notes from each period because the dilutive effect of the convertible notes is dependent entirely upon NCI’s stock price and not on underlying operational results. Adjusted Earnings Per Share also excludes the dilutive impact of charges related to inventory in the metal coil coating segment, the expense of executive retirement in the second quarter, and the costs related to exiting the metal components segment’s residential overhead door product line. Adjusted Earnings Per Share is therefore used by management and provided to investors to provide comparability between periods of underlying operational results. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Earnings Per Share should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for net income, debt or earnings per share determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

The information in this Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 attached to this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except if NCI expressly states that such information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by specific reference in such filing.
