"This acquisition is in line with our strategy to acquire companies that enhance our current product platforms and assist us in providing our customers with a more complete offering of high-quality building products," said Thomas Karol, chairman and chief executive officer of ElkCorp. "The RGM product line is synergistic with our current roofing lines and allows us to expand our ridge and accessory products substantially. We believe this is an excellent enhancement to our roofing platform and will assist us in continuing to grow this platform for the future. RGM posted 2004 revenues of $57 million. We expect the acquisition to be moderately accretive to fiscal 2006 earnings per share but anticipate a greater impact on EPS in the coming years."
