Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Quanex Building Products CORP names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Dec 12, 2025: 26 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • Industry Risks
  • Any sustained decline in residential remodeling, replacement activities, or housing starts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • If the availability of critical raw materials were to become scarce or if the price of these items were to increase significantly, we might not be able to timely produce products for our customers or maintain our profit levels.
  • Compliance with, or liabilities under, existing or future environmental laws and regulations could significantly increase our costs of doing business.
  • We may not be able to protect our intellectual property.
  • We are subject to various existing and contemplated laws, regulations and government initiatives that may materially impact the demand for our products, our profitability or our costs of doing business.
  • Regional or global barriers to trade or a global trade war could increase the cost of our raw materials and other products in the markets we serve, which could adversely impact the financial results of businesses serving those markets, including Quanex.
  • Company Risks
  • We may identify new or additional material weakness or weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which may, if not remediated, result in material misstatements in our financial statements.
  • Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business and on our stock price.
  • Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by the continued conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.
  • Our business will suffer if we are unable to adequately address potential supplier or customer pricing pressures, both with respect to OEMs that have significant pricing leverage over suppliers, and to large suppliers who have significant pricing leverage over their customers.
The other 16 risks
  • Our revenues could decline or we may lose business if our customers vertically integrate their operations, diversify their supplier base, transfer manufacturing capacity to other regions, or respond to operational challenges in our business.
  • Our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets may become impaired and could result in a charge to income.
  • Our credit facility contains certain operational restrictions, reporting requirements, and financial covenants that limit the aggregate availability of funds.
  • We may not be able to successfully manage or integrate acquisitions, and if we are unable to do so, then our profitability could be adversely affected.
  • If our information technology systems fail, or if we experience an interruption in our operations due to an aging information system infrastructure, then our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
  • We are subject to data security and privacy risks that could negatively affect our results or operations.
  • Epidemics, pandemics or other disease outbreaks could significantly disrupt our operations or those of our customers or suppliers.
  • Our operations outside the U.S. require us to comply with a number of U.S. and international anti-corruption regulations, violations of which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.
  • We may not have the right personnel in place to achieve our operating goals, and the location of some of our operations may make it difficult to locate or hire highly skilled employees.
  • Equipment failures or catastrophic loss at any of our manufacturing facilities could prevent us from producing our products.
  • Product liability claims and product replacements could harm our reputation, revenue generation and financial condition, or could result in costs related to litigation, warranty claims, or customer accommodations.
  • Our insurance coverage may be inapplicable or inadequate to cover certain liabilities, and our insurance policies may exclude coverage for certain matters.
  • Changes in climate and extreme weather events could disrupt our supply chain, decrease customer demand for our products, or damage our manufacturing facilities.
  • Changes in taxation as well as the inherent difficulty in quantifying potential tax effects of business decisions could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
  • Risks Associated with Investment in Quanex Securities
  • Our corporate governance documents and the provisions of Delaware law may delay or preclude a business acquisition or divestiture that stockholders may consider to be favorable, which might result in a decrease in the value of our common shares.
  • We have the ability to issue additional equity securities, which would lead to dilution of our issued and outstanding common stock.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, we, along with our subsidiaries, are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, commercial disputes, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product performance or warranties, product liability, insurance coverage and personnel and employment disputes.

We regularly review with legal counsel the status of all ongoing proceedings, and we maintain insurance against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent such insurance is available. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters or that our insurers will accept full coverage of these matters, and we could, in the future, incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims, or revise our expectations regarding the outcome or insurability of matters we face, which could materially impact our results of operations.

We have been and are currently party to multiple claims, some of which are in litigation, relating to alleged defects in a commercial sealant product that was manufactured and sold during the 2000s. Several claims have been resolved and we continue to defend the remaining claims. While we believe that our product was not defective and that we would prevail in these commercial sealant product claims if taken to trial, the timing, ultimate resolution and potential impact of these claims is

not currently determinable. Nevertheless, after taking into account all currently available information, including our defenses, the advice of our counsel, and the extent and currently-expected availability of our existing insurance coverage, we believe that the eventual outcome of these commercial sealant claims will not have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, and we have not recorded any accrual with regard to these claims.
