ITEM 1. BUSINESS
a. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
International Aluminum Corporation is an integrated building products manufacturer of diversified lines of quality aluminum and vinyl products. The Company was incorporated in California in 1963 as successor to an aluminum fabricating business begun in 1957 and maintains its executive offices at 767 Monterey Pass Road, Monterey Park, California 91754. The Company’s telephone number is (323) 264-1670. Reference to the “Registrant”, “International Aluminum Corporation” or the “Company” includes International Aluminum Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.
b. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS, LINES OF BUSINESS AND CLASSES OF PRODUCTS
This information is included on pages 4 and 24 of the Registrant’s 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders and is hereby incorporated by reference.
c. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Processes and Products
Residential
Residential products are fabricated from aluminum and vinyl into a broad line of horizontal sliding windows, vertical sliding windows, casement windows, garden windows, bay and bow windows, special configuration windows, louvre windows, patio doors, wardrobe mirror doors and related products. These products are used in new residential construction and in remodeling, home improvement and replacement.
Commercial
Commercial products are fabricated from aluminum into curtainwalls, window walls, slope glazed systems, storefront framing, entrance doors and frames and commercial operable windows for exterior applications, including storm and blast resistant applications and officefronts, office partitions, doors and frames for interior applications. These products are utilized in varying combinations to produce systems used for office and commercial construction, remodeling and tenant improvement applications.
Aluminum Extrusion
In the extrusion process, heated aluminum billets are hydraulically forced through steel dies to produce a piece of metal of the desired cross-sectional shape and length. The extrusions are then cut and, when requested, anodized or painted in a variety of finishes in the Company’s anodizing and painting departments.
Aluminum extrusions produced by the Company are used in fabricating substantially all of its other aluminum products. During fiscal 2005, approximately 49% of extrusions produced were sold to non-affiliated customers with the balance utilized by International Aluminum Corporation subsidiaries. The Company furnishes design services to assist its customers in developing or better utilizing custom extrusions.
Sales and Distribution
The Company markets its residential products primarily to lumber yards, home improvement centers, independent dealers and distributors, with whom the Company has no long-term contracts. Commercial building products are marketed primarily to glazing and tenant improvement contractors. Aluminum extrusions are marketed principally by direct sales to other manufacturers.
Each of the Company’s subsidiaries has its own administrative and sales organizations. Sales are made primarily in North America.
No customer accounted for more than 5% of net sales in 2005, and no material part of the business is dependent upon a single customer or a few customers, the loss of any one or more of whom would have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Company. The Company does business on a current basis and has no significant backlog of unfilled firm orders.
Seasonality
Sales of products designed for residential and commercial applications are subject to cyclical swings in new construction and seasonal fluctuations due to reduced construction activity in some marketing areas during the winter months (second and third quarters).
Materials
The Company purchases its aluminum requirements from primary aluminum producers, under supply agreements at market prices, or spot metal brokers. Although increased worldwide demand produces periods of tight supply of aluminum, the Company has had satisfactory experience to date in obtaining sufficient raw materials to meet its requirements and does not anticipate material shortages that would significantly hamper its operations.
Flat glass is purchased from domestic glass manufacturers. The Company has had satisfactory experience to date in obtaining sufficient glass to meet its requirements.
The Company produces the aluminum extrusions used in the products it manufactures and sells. Vinyl, hardware and small parts are purchased from outside sources.
Working Capital
To maintain an adequate supply of aluminum to meet customer delivery requirements and to assure itself of a continuous allotment of materials from its suppliers, the Company may at times carry a significant inventory of aluminum. Depending on price and availability, bulk quantities may be purchased from either primary aluminum producers or from spot metal brokers.
The Company does not believe there are any abnormal working capital requirements associated with any of its product groups as merchandise is normally produced for specific customer orders or shipped from inventory and as a general practice extended payment terms are not granted to customers.
Employees
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately 1,500 full-time employees, approximately 800 of whom were covered by various collective bargaining agreements. Management believes that the Company’s employee relations are good. Two agreements are due to expire in the upcoming year and management believes that the prospects are reasonably good for renewal.
Patents
The Company has no material patents, either issued or pending, and is not a party to any significant licensing agreements.
Competition
The Company’s business is highly competitive. Competition in all product lines is on the basis of price, service and product quality. The manner and extent of such competition depends on the product being marketed and the relevant marketing area. The Company faces competition primarily from numerous fabricators. Several of the Company’s major competitors in selling commercial products and aluminum extrusions are substantially larger, more diversified and have greater resources than the Company.
Expansion of its product lines could result in the Company competing with certain of its present customers. While the Company cannot accurately predict the effect, if any, that such development would have on its business, the Company anticipates no material adverse effect.
Our performance is dependent to a significant extent upon levels of new construction, repair and remodeling for residential and commercial construction, all of which are affected by such factors as interest rates, consumer confidence and economic outlook. In the near term, we expect to operate in an environment of relatively stable levels of construction and remodeling activity. However, increases in interest rates could have a negative impact on the level of housing construction and remodeling activity. The Company cannot predict whether, or when, such rates might increase, but the company’s experience has shown that high interest rates for construction financing, mortgages and improvement loans may adversely affect the Company’s revenues.
Government Regulation
The Company’s aluminum extrusion, anodizing, painting and manufacturing facilities are subject to water and air pollution control standards mandated by federal, state and local law. While the Company anticipates no material capital expenditures to meet established environmental quality control standards, there can be no assurance that more stringent standards will not be established which might require such expenditures.
The Company is subject to various federal and state labor laws which govern its relationship with employees, including with regard to minimum wage requirements, overtime pay and other working conditions. Significant new government-imposed increases in minimum wage rates, paid leave of absence or mandated health benefits could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
