NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
Note 1.
Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all estimates and adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals, unless otherwise stated herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of L.B. Foster Company and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been included. However, actual results could differ from those estimates and changes in those estimates are recorded when known. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in L.B. Foster Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer collectively to L.B. Foster Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes principally to conform to the presentation of the current year period. Effective for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, the Company implemented operational changes in how its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages its businesses, including resource allocation and operating decisions. As a result of these changes, the Company has

reporting segments, representing the individual businesses that are run separately under the new structure: Rail, Technologies, and Services; Precast Concrete Products; and Steel Products and Measurement. The Company has revised the information for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect these reclassifications.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020 and as clarified in January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. (“ASU”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Revenue
Revenue from products or services provided to customers over time accounted for
27.5
% and
27.9
% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and
28.8
% and
26.8
% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The majority of revenue under these long-term agreements is recognized over time either using an input measure based upon the proportion of actual costs incurred to estimated total project costs or an input measure based upon actual labor costs as a percentage of estimated total labor costs, depending upon which measure the Company believes best depicts its performance to date under the terms of the contract. Revenue recognized over time using an input measure was $
20,089
and $
27,687
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $
39,411
and $
48,795
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A certain portion of the Company’s revenue recognized over time under these long-term agreements is recognized using an output method, specifically units delivered, based upon certain customer acceptance and delivery requirements. Revenue recognized over
10
Table of Contents
time using an output measure was $
16,013
and $
15,487
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $
26,994
and $
23,751
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had contract assets of $
31,023
and $
36,179
, respectively, that were recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had contract liabilities of $
2,584
and $
3,235
, respectively, that were recorded in “Deferred revenue” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The majority of the Company’s revenue is from products transferred and services rendered to customers at a point in time. Point in time revenue accounted for
72.5
% and
72.1
% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and
71.2
% and
73.2
% for six months ended June 30, 2022 . The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time at which the customer obtains control of the product or service, which is generally when the product title passes to the customer upon shipment or the service has been rendered to the customer. In limited cases, title does not transfer and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the products at a physical location.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed receivables, costs in excess of billings (included in “Contract assets”), and billings in excess of costs (contract liabilities, included in “Deferred revenue”) within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Significant changes in contract assets during the six months ended June 30, 2022 included transfers of $
14,235
from the contract assets balance as of December 31, 2021 to accounts receivable. Significant changes in contract liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from increases of $
2,570
due to billings in excess of costs, excluding amounts recognized as revenue during the period. Contract liabilities were reduced due to revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 of $
1,201
and $
228
, respectively, and revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 of $
2,642
and $
904
, respectively, which were included in contract liabilities at the beginning of each period.
The Company records provisions related to the allowance for credit losses associated with contract assets. Provisions are recorded based upon a specific review of individual contracts as necessary, and a standard provision over any remaining contract assets pooled together based on similar risk of credit loss. The development of these provisions are based on historic collection trends, accuracy of estimates within contract margin reporting, as well as the expectation that collection patterns, margin reporting, and bad debt expense will continue to adhere to patterns observed in recent years. These expectations are formed based on trends observed as well as current and expected future conditions.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $
250,845
of obligations under new contracts and remaining performance obligations, which is also referred to as backlog. Approximately
5.3
% of the June 30, 2022 backlog was related to projects that are anticipated to extend beyond June 30, 2023.

The Company performs goodwill impairment tests annually during the fourth quarter, and also performs interim goodwill impairment tests if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. Qualitative factors are assessed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, which included the impacts of COVID-19. However, the future impacts of COVID-19 are unpredictable and are subject to change. No interim goodwill impairment test was required as a result of the evaluation of qualitative factors as of June 30, 2022.

Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and, while collateral is not required, the Company periodically receives surety bonds that guarantee payment. Credit terms are consistent with industry standards and practices. The amounts of trade accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 have been reduced by an allowance for credit losses of $
515
and $
547
, respectively. Changes in reserves for uncollectible accounts, which are recorded as part of “Selling and administrative expenses” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, resulted in expense of $
150
and $
40
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and expense of $
211
and $
18
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Table of Contents
The Company established the allowance for credit losses by calculating the amount to reserve based on the age of a given trade receivable and considering historical collection patterns and bad debt expense experience, in addition to any other relevant subjective adjustments to individual receivables made by management. The Company also considers current and expected future market and other conditions. Trade receivables are pooled within the calculation based on a range of ages, which we believe appropriately groups receivables of similar credit risk together.
The established reserve thresholds to calculate the allowance for credit loss are based on and supported by historic collection patterns and bad debt expense incurred by the Company, as well as the expectation that collection patterns and bad debt expense will continue to adhere to patterns observed in recent years, which was formed based on trends observed as well as current and expected future conditions, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management maintains stringent credit review practices and works to maintain positive customer relationships to further mitigate credit risk.

no
impairments of property, plant, and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

On August 13, 2021, the Company, its domestic subsidiaries, and certain of its Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N.A., and BMO Harris Bank, National Association. The Credit Agreement modifies the prior revolving credit facility, as amended, on more favorable terms and extends the maturity date from April 30, 2024 to August 13, 2026. The Credit Agreement provides for a
five-year
, revolving credit facility that permits aggregate borrowings of the Borrowers up to $
130,000
(a $
15,000
increase over the previous commitment) with a sublimit of the equivalent of $
25,000
U.S. dollars that is available to the Canadian and United Kingdom borrowers in the aggregate. The Credit Agreement’s incremental loan feature permits the Company to increase the available commitments under the facility by up to an additional $
50,000
subject to the Company’s receipt of increased commitments from existing or new lenders and the satisfaction of certain conditions.
The obligation of the Company and its domestic, Canadian, and United Kingdom subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) under the Credit Agreement will be secured by the grant of a security interest by the Borrowers and Guarantors in substantially all of the assets owned by such entities. Additionally, the equity interests in each of the loan parties, other than the Company, and the equity interests held by each loan party in their subsidiaries, will be pledged to the lenders as collateral for the lending obligations.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at rates based upon either the base rate or LIBOR rate plus applicable margins. Applicable margins are dictated by the ratio of the Company’s total net indebtedness to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for four trailing quarters, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The base rate is the highest of (a) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus
50
basis points, (b) the Prime Rate, or (c) the Daily LIBOR rate plus
100
basis points so long as the Daily LIBOR Rate is offered, ascertainable, and not unlawful (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). The base rate and LIBOR rate spreads range from
25
to
125
basis points and
125
to
225
basis points, respectively.
16
Table of Contents
The Credit Agreement includes two financial covenants: (a) Maximum Gross Leverage Ratio, defined as the Company’s consolidated Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) divided by the Company’s consolidated EBITDA, which must not exceed (i)
3.25
to 1.00 for all testing periods other than during an Acquisition Period, and (ii)
3.50
to 1.00 for all testing periods occurring during an Acquisition Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (b) Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, defined as the Company’s consolidated EBITDA divided by the Company’s Fixed Charges (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which must be more than
1.05
to 1.00.
The Credit Agreement permits the Company to pay dividends and make distributions and redemptions with respect to its stock provided no event of default or potential default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred prior to or after giving effect to the dividend, distribution, or redemption. Additionally, the Credit Agreement permits the Company to complete acquisitions so long as (a) no event of default or potential default has occurred prior to or as a result of such acquisition; (b) the liquidity of the Borrowers is not less than $
15,000
prior to and after giving effect to such acquisition; and (c) the aggregate consideration for the acquisition does not exceed: (i) $
50,000
per acquisition, so long as the Gross Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to
2.75
after giving effect to such acquisition; or (ii) $
75,000
per acquisition, so long as the Gross Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to
1.75
after giving effect to such acquisition.
Other restrictions exist at all times including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s sale of assets and the incurrence by either the Borrowers or the non-borrower subsidiaries of the Company of other indebtedness, guarantees, and liens.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement, as amended. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $
683
and had net available borrowing capacity of $
81,489
, subject to covenant restrictions. The maturity date of the facility is August 13, 2026.

Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $
821
and $
1,139
on pre-tax income of $
2,797
and $
3,993
for an effective income tax rate of
29.4
% and
28.5
%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $
313
and $
818
on pre-tax income of $
703
and $
2,402
for an effective income tax rate of

% and

%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, and research tax credits. Changes in pre-tax income projections, combined with the seasonal nature of our businesses, could also impact the effective income tax rate.
Note 12.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies the provisions of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” to account for the Company’s stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award and is recognized over the employees’ requisite service periods.
The Company
17
Table of Contents
recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and performance share units of $
925
and $
386
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $
1,183
and $
1,213
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards approximated $
4,104
. The Company expects to recognize this expense over the upcoming
3.5
years through March 2026.
Shares issued as a result of vested stock-based compensation awards generally will be from previously issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company and held as treasury stock or authorized and previously unissued common stock.
Restricted Stock Awards, Performance Share Units, and Performance-Based Stock Awards
Under the 2006 Omnibus Plan, the Company grants eligible employees restricted stock and performance share units. The forfeitable restricted stock awards granted generally time-vest ratably over a
three-year
period, unless indicated otherwise by the underlying restricted stock award agreement. Since May 2018, awards of restricted stock have been subject to a minimum
one-year
vesting period, including those granted to non-employee directors. Performance share units are offered annually under separate
three-year
long-term incentive programs. Performance share units are subject to forfeiture and will be converted into common stock of the Company based upon the Company’s performance relative to performance measures and conversion multiples, as defined in the underlying program. If the Company’s estimate of the number of performance share units expected to vest changes in a subsequent accounting period, cumulative compensation expense could increase or decrease. The change will be recognized in the current period for the vested shares and would change future expense over the remaining vesting period.
Since May 1, 2017, non-employee directors have been permitted to defer receipt of annual stock awards and equity elected to be received in lieu of quarterly cash compensation. If so elected, these deferred stock units will be issued as common stock
six months
after separation from their service on the Board of Directors. Since May 2018, no non-employee directors have elected the option to receive deferred stock units of the Company’s common stock in lieu of director cash compensation.
In February 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the 2022 Performance Share Unit Program and the 2022 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (consisting of cash and equity components).
On June 2, 2022, the shareholders approved the new 2022 Equity and Incentive Compensation plan as the successor to the 2006 Omnibus Plan and contingent Strategic Transformation Plan.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. The fair value hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions of what market participants would use. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as described below:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
18
Table of Contents
Cash equivalents -
Included in “Cash and cash equivalents” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are investments in non-domestic term deposits. The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.
LIBOR-based interest rate swaps
- To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on outstanding variable-rate debt, the Company entered into a forward starting LIBOR-based interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $
50,000
and $
20,000
effective February 2017 and March 2022, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate swaps are based on market-observable forward interest rates and represents the estimated amount that the Company would pay to terminate the agreements. As such, the swap agreements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the interest rate swaps were recorded in "Other current assets" when the interest rate swaps’ fair market value are in an asset position, and "Other accrued liabilities" when in a liability position within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The $
20,000
interest rate swaps that became effective March 2022 are accounted for as cash flow hedges and the objective of the hedges is to offset the expected interest variability on payments associated with the interest rate on our debt. The gains and losses related to the interest rate swaps are reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and included in “Interest expense - net” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the interest expense from our debt is recognized.
The Company accounted for the $
50,000
of interest rate swaps that became effective February 2017 as cash flow hedges, these interest rate swaps expired February 2022.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized interest income of $
19
and interest expense of $
245
, respectively, from interest rate swaps. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized interest expense of $
78
and $
480
, respectively, from interest rate swaps.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” the Company measures certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value, which are recognized and disclosed on a nonrecurring basis.

Union Pacific Railroad (“UPRR”) Concrete Tie Matter
On March 13, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary, CXT Incorporated (“CXT”), entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with UPRR to resolve the pending litigation in the matter of
Union Pacific Railroad Company v. L.B. Foster Company and CXT Incorporated
, Case No. CI 15-564, in the District Court for Douglas County, Nebraska.
Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company and CXT will pay UPRR the aggregate amount of $
50,000
without pre-judgment interest, which began with a $
2,000
immediate payment, and with the remaining $
48,000
paid in installments over a
six-year
period commencing on the effective date of the Settlement Agreement through December 2024 pursuant to a Promissory Note. Additionally, commencing in January 2019 and through December 2024, UPRR agreed to purchase and has been purchasing from the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, a cumulative total amount of $
48,000
of products and services, targeting $
8,000
of annual purchases per year beginning March 13, 2019 per letters of intent under the Settlement Agreement. During the third quarter of 2021, in connection with the Company’s divestiture of its Piling Products division, the targeted annual purchases per year have been reduced to $
6,000
for 2021 through 2024. The Settlement Agreement also includes a mutual release of all claims and liability regarding or relating to all CXT pre-stressed concrete railroad ties with no admission of liability and dismissal of the litigation with prejudice.
The expected payments under the UPRR Settlement Agreement for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2022 and thereafter are as follows:

Environmental and Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to national, state, foreign, provincial, and/or local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company’s efforts to comply with environmental regulations may have an adverse effect on its future earnings.
On June 5, 2017, a General Notice Letter was received from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) indicating that the Company may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) regarding the Portland Harbor Superfund Site cleanup along with numerous other companies. More than
140
other companies received such a notice. The Company and a predecessor owned and operated a facility near the harbor site for a period prior to 1982. The net present value and undiscounted costs of the selected remedy throughout the harbor site are estimated by the EPA to be approximately $
1.1
billion and $
1.7
billion, respectively, and the remedial work is expected to take as long as
13
years to complete. These costs may increase given that the remedy will not be initiated or completed for several years. The Company is reviewing the basis for its identification by the EPA and the nature of the historic operations of a Company predecessor near the site. Additionally, the Company executed a PRP agreement which provides for a private allocation process among almost
100
PRPs in a working group whose work is ongoing. On March 26, 2020, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order to two parties requiring them to perform remedial design work for that portion of the Harbor Superfund Site that includes the area closest to the facility; the Company was not a recipient of this Unilateral Administrative Order. The Company cannot predict the ultimate impact of these proceedings because of the large number of PRPs involved throughout the harbor site, the size and extent of the site, the degree of contamination of various wastes, varying environmental impacts throughout the harbor site, the scarcity of data related to the facility once operated by the Company and a predecessor, potential comparative liability between the allocation parties and regarding non-participants, and the speculative nature of the remediation costs. Based upon information currently available, management does not believe that the Company’s alleged PRP status regarding the Portland Harbor Superfund Site or other compliance with the present environmental protection laws will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, competitive position, or capital expenditures of the Company. As more information develops and the allocation process is completed, and given the resolution of factors like those described above, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect.
21
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company maintained environmental reserves approximating $
2,500
and $
2,519
, respectively.

The Company is also subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Legal actions are subject to inherent uncertainties, and future events could change management’s assessment of the probability or estimated amount of potential losses from pending or threatened legal actions. Based on available information, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of pending or threatened legal actions, both individually and in the aggregate, will not result in losses having a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity as of June 30, 2022.
If management believes that, based on available information, it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss (or additional material loss in excess of any accrual) will be incurred in connection with any legal actions, the Company discloses an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, either individually or in the aggregate, as appropriate, if such an estimate can be made, or discloses that an estimate cannot be made. Based on the Company’s assessment as of June 30, 2022, no such disclosures were considered necessary.
Note 16.
Subsequent Events
On August 1, 2022, the Company divested the assets of its rail spikes and anchors track components business (“Track Components”) located in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada. Cash proceeds from the transaction are expected to total $
7,795
, subject to indemnification obligations and working capital adjustment. The Track Components business was reported in the Rail Products business unit within the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Many of the forward-looking statements are located in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”). Forward-looking statements provide management’s current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Sentences containing words such as “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “expect,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” or their negatives, or other similar expressions of a future or forward-looking nature generally should be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events that involve inherent risks and uncertainties and may concern, among other things, the Company’s expectations relating to our strategy, goals, projections, and plans regarding our financial position, liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations and decisions regarding our strategic growth initiatives, market position, and product development.

General Overview and Business Update
L.B. Foster Company is a global solutions provider of engineered, manufactured products and services that builds and supports infrastructure. The Company’s innovative engineering and product development solutions address the safety, reliability, and performance needs of its customers’ most challenging requirements. The Company maintains locations in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
On June 21, 2022, the Company acquired the stock of Skratch Enterprises Ltd. (“Skratch”) for $7,402. Skratch is an industry leader in digital system integration with expertise in advanced digital display technologies and capabilities currently serving retail markets in the U.K. The Company has collaborated with Skratch on projects in the past and believes joining the two companies will unlock the broader market potential for our respective solutions in the visual communications space. Skratch is reported within the Technology Services and Solutions business unit in the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment.
Sequentially, sales increased 33.1% versus the 2022 first quarter, which is consistent with historic seasonal trends. Orders and backlog levels for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 also remained strong, a reflection of a robust demand environment in markets served.
Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 were $131,515, a $23,007, or 14.9%, decrease versus the prior year quarter. The now divested Piling Products division contributed $22,091 of the year over year sales decline. Net sales increased in the Precast Concrete Products segment by $3,538 and Steel Products and Measurement segment, as adjusted to exclude the Piling Products division of , by $2,531, which was partially offset by a $6,985 decrease in Rail, Technologies, and Services segment sales.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $23,293, a $2,868 decrease, or 11.0%, from the prior year quarter. The decline in gross profit was driven primarily by the Piling Products divestiture, coupled with lower volume and higher input costs, partially offset by favorable mix. Consolidated gross profit margin increased by 80 basis points to 17.7% when compared to the prior year quarter, and the Company is generally seeing progress on margin improvement through its recent pricing initiatives and favorable mix. Gross profit decreased in the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment by $999, driven by the $6,985 decrease in sales. Rail, Technologies, and Services gross profit margins increased 30 basis points due to increased sales in its higher margin Global Friction Management and Technology Services and Solutions business units which were partially offset by the lower margin Rail Products business unit. The Precast Concrete Products segment gross profit decreased $572, or 14.6%, despite increased sales volumes. The decline in gross profit margin in Precast Concrete Products, which was down 530 basis points compared to the prior year quarter, is principally attributable to continued higher raw material and labor costs, coupled with unfavorable building sales mix compared to last year’s quarter. The Steel Products and Measurement segment gross profit declined from the prior year by $1,297. This decline was primarily attributable to the sale of the Piling Products division of $2,056 and also due to inflationary pressure, particularly in the Bridge Products division. However, Steel Products and Measurement gross profit margin was up 420 basis points compared to the prior year, a reflection of a more favorable mix after the sale of the lower margin Piling Products business. The Company continues to focus on margin improvement measures to counteract inflationary pressures experienced.
Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $373, or 1.9%, from the prior year, primarily driven by decreases in expenses associated with the sale of the Piling Products division, partially offset by an increase related to strategic transformation plan and acquisition related expenses. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 14.7% versus 12.8% in the prior year quarter, a 190 basis points increase, due primarily to the decline in sales associated with the Piling Products divestiture.
Other income - net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $701 while Other expense - net was $70 in the prior year quarter. Insurance proceeds received in the current year quarter and a favorable $489 purchase price adjustment from the sale of Piling Products were the drivers of the increase.
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 29.4%, compared to 28.5% in the prior year quarter. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, and research tax credits.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 attributable to L.B. Foster Company was $2,010, or $0.18 per diluted share, a decrease of $866, or $0.09 per diluted share, from the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by lower overall sales volumes primarily associated with the sale of the Piling Products business and continued inflationary pressure.
The Company’s consolidated backlog
(a)
was $250,845 as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of $2,386, or 0.9%, from the prior year, with increases across the Company offset by the divested Piling Products division, which contributed $33,682 to the year over year decline. The Rail, Technologies, and Services and Precast Concrete Product segments reported a $29,437 and $9,094 backlog increase versus the prior year quarter, respectively, while the Steel Products and Measurement segment, adjusted for the Piling Products divestiture, reported a decrease of $7,235 versus the prior year quarter. Sequentially, consolidated backlog

increased $6,227, or 2.5% from

Table of Contents
March 31, 2022. Order levels
(a)
for three months ended June 30, 2022, when adjusted for the Piling Products sale, increased by $27,971, or 24.7%, from the prior year quarter.
While the current inflationary cost environment is expected to continue to put pressure on margins across our businesses throughout 2022, the sequential 110 basis point margin improvement versus the prior quarter is an indication of positive progress toward mitigating such pressures. Actions to continue to mitigate inflationary impacts as much as possible are ongoing. In addition, the Company continues to take proactive steps to manage disruptions in raw materials, labor, supply chain, service partners, and other lingering COVID-19 related effects, and experienced an ease in these impacts during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
With the federal infrastructure support programs announced in 2020 and 2021, such as the U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in November 2021, the Company is maintaining its optimistic outlook regarding longer-term trends in the North American freight and transit markets given supply chain and transportation needs coupled with expected government-subsidized investment. The Company believes that many of its businesses will continue to directly benefit from infrastructure investment activity. Additionally, with the proceeds from the Piling division divestiture, coupled with the additional flexibility and capacity resulting from the amendment and extension of our credit agreement in August 2021, the Company believes that it has significant capacity to pursue organic and acquisitive growth opportunities in 2022 and beyond. The Company continues to prioritize its portfolio transformation, as evidenced from the acquisitions of Skratch Enterprises Ltd. and Intelligent Video, Ltd. on June 21, 2022, and July 6, 2022, respectively, and the divested the assets of its rail spikes and anchors track components business on August 1, 2022.
(a)
The Company defines new orders as a contractual agreement between the Company and a third-party in which the Company will, or has the ability to, satisfy the performance obligations of the promised products or services under the terms of the agreement. The Company defines backlog as contractual commitments to customers for which the Company’s performance obligations have not been met, including with respect to new orders and contracts for which the Company has not begun any performance. Management utilizes new orders and backlog to evaluate the health of the industries in which the Company operates, the Company’s current and future results of operations and financial prospects, and strategies for business development. The Company believes that new orders and backlog are useful to investors as supplemental metrics by which to measure the Company’s current performance and prospective results of operations and financial performance.

The decrease was driven by overall lower sales volumes, offset in part by improved business mix. Segment gross profit margins increased by 40 basis points as a result of stronger sales in the higher margin Global Friction Management and Technology Services and Solutions business units, versus the lower-margin Rail Products businesses. Operating profit was $5,037, a $2,842 decrease over the prior year period, due in part to lower overall gross profit levels and increases in selling and administrative expenses.
During the current quarter, the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment had an increase in new orders of 32.1% compared to the prior year period, driven by improvements in all business units.

First Six Months 2022 Compared to First Six Months 2021
The Precast Concrete Products segment sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $5,870, or 17.9%, compared to the prior year period, which is a continued reflection of the strong demand environment in the southern United States market served.
Precast Concrete Products gross profit decreased by $617, or 9.6%, from the prior year quarter, due to continued inflationary pressure on raw material and labor costs, unfavorable building sales mix and, to a lesser extent, manufacturing inefficiencies due to supply chain disruption. Segment gross profit margin declined by 460 bps for the six months ended June 30, 2022 versus the prior year period. Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $916 reflects a $1,947 decline from the prior year period, due to margin degradation and increases in selling and administrative costs.
During the quarter, the Precast Concrete Products segment had a decrease in new orders of 10.9% compared to the prior year period. New orders and backlog continue to remain strong given the robust demand environment in markets served.

First Six Months 2022 Compared to First Six Months 2021
The Steel Products and Measurement segment sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $36,656, or 44.3%, compared to the prior year period, due entirely to the impact of the divested Piling Products business, which drove a sales decline of $42,889 versus the prior year period. The decline in sales was partially offset by sales increases in the balance of the business units including the Fabricated Steel Products business sales, excluding Piling, which increased $3,749, and Coatings and Measurement where sales increased $2,477 versus the prior year period.
Steel Products and Measurement gross profit decreased by $3,357, or 36.8%, from the prior year period, due to lower sales volumes and increased raw material costs in the Fabricated Bridge business. However, the gross profit margin for the segment increased 150 basis points to 12.5%, a result of a more favorable mix in 2022 given the divestiture of the low margin Piling Products business. The
30
Table of Contents
segment loss was $1,386, an increased loss of $1,273 from the prior year period. Selling and administrative expenses incurred by the segment decreased by $2,192 compared to the prior year period, primarily attributable to the Piling Products divestiture.
During the quarter, the Steel Products and Measurement segment new orders decreased by $36,949, or 42.3% compared to the prior year period, driven by a $45,664 decline from the divested Piling Products division. This decrease was partially offset by improvements in both Fabricated Steel Products, excluding the divested Piling Products division, and Coatings and Measurement.

The backlog for Steel Products and Measurement includes $33,682 related to the divested Piling Products division as of June 30, 2021 in the above table.
The Company’s backlog represents the sales price of received customer purchase orders and any contracts for which the performance obligations have not been met, and therefore are precluded from revenue recognition. Although the Company believes that the orders included in backlog are firm, customers may cancel or change their orders with limited advance notice; however, these instances have been rare. Backlog should not be considered a reliable indicator of the Company’s ability to achieve any particular level of revenue or financial performance. While a considerable portion of the Company’s business is backlog-driven, certain product lines within the Company are not driven by backlog as the orders are fulfilled shortly after they are received.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are its existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated by operations, and the available capacity under the revolving credit facility, which provides for a total commitment of up to $130,000. The Company’s primary needs for liquidity relate to working capital requirements for operations, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and payments related to the Union Pacific Railroad Settlement. The Company’s total debt was $49,286 and $31,251 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and was primarily comprised of borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The Company’s cash flows are impacted from period to period by fluctuations in working capital. While the Company places an emphasis on working capital management in its operations, factors such as its contract mix, commercial terms, customer payment patterns, and market conditions as well as seasonality may impact its working capital. The Company regularly assesses its receivables and contract assets for collectability, and provides allowances for credit losses where appropriate. The Company believes that its reserves for credit losses are appropriate as of June 30, 2022, but adverse changes in the economic environment and adverse financial conditions of its customers resulting from, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic, may impact certain of its customers’ ability to access capital and pay the Company for its products and services, as well as impact demand for its products and services.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash flows used in operating activities were $13,382, compared to cash flows provided by continuing operating activities of $6,842 during the prior year to date period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the net income and adjustments to net income from continuing operating activities provided $7,277, compared to $9,677 in the 2021 period. Working capital and other assets and liabilities used $20,659 in the current period, compared to using $2,835 in the prior year period.
The Company’s calculation for days sales outstanding at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 46 and 46 days, respectively, and the Company believes it has a high quality receivables portfolio.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $3,048 and $2,248, respectively. The current period expenditures primarily relate to the implementation of the enterprise resource planning system at additional Company divisions and general plant and operational improvements throughout the Company. Expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily relate to the expansion of the Precast Concrete Products business line in Texas. On June 21, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the stock of Skratch for $7,402, which included a cash outflow of $5,712 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received final proceeds from the 2021 Piling Products divestiture of $1,195.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had an increase in outstanding debt of $18,877 and a decrease of $7,767, respectively. The increase in debt for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was due in part to the acquisition of Skratch on June 21, 2022, which contributed $6,518 to the increase, as well as the funding working of capital and other assets and liabilities. The decrease in net debt for the 2021 period was primarily attributable to the utilization of excess cash generated through operating activities. Treasury stock acquisitions of $401 and $547 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, represent stock repurchases from employees to satisfy their income tax withholdings in connection with the vesting of stock awards.
Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $7,661 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash management priority continues to be short-term maturities and the preservation of its principal balances. As of June 30, 2022, approximately $6,872 of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held in non-domestic bank accounts. The Company principally maintains its cash and cash equivalents in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions.
The Company’s principal uses of cash have been to fund its operations, including capital expenditures, acquisitions, and to service its indebtedness. The Company views its liquidity as being dependent on its results of operations, changes in working capital needs, and its borrowing capacity. As of June 30, 2022, its revolving credit facility had $81,489 of net availability, while the Company had $49,286 in total debt. The Company’s current ratio as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 2.10 and 2.08, respectively.
On August 13, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which increased the total commitments under the revolving credit facility to $130,000 from $115,000, extends the maturity from April 30, 2024 to August 13, 2026, and provides more favorable covenant terms. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest rates based upon either the base rate or LIBOR rate plus applicable margins. The Company believes that the combination of its cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and the capacity under its revolving credit facility should provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to provide the flexibility to operate the business in a prudent manner and enable the Company to continue to service its outstanding debt. For a discussion of the terms and availability of the credit facilities, please refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on outstanding variable-rate debt, the Company entered into forward starting LIBOR-based interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $50,000 and $20,000, effective February 1, 2017 and March 1, 2022, respectively, at which point they effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contract. During 2020, the Company dedesignated its cash flow hedges and accounted for the $50,000 tranche of interest rate swaps on a mark-to-market basis with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings. During February 2022, the $50,000 tranche of interest rate swaps expired. As of June 30, 2022 the swap asset was $1,111 and as of December 31, 2021 the swap asset and liability were $175 and $159, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. When more than one accounting principle, or method of its application, is generally accepted, management selects the principle or method that, in its opinion, is appropriate in the Company’s specific circumstances. Application of these accounting principles requires management to reach opinions regarding estimates about the future resolution of existing uncertainties. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In preparing these financial statements, management has reached its opinions regarding the best estimates and judgments of the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements giving due regard to materiality. A summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
L.B. Foster Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date such that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or person performing such functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our “internal control over financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022, and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
