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 of L.B. Foster Company and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 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 now has three 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.

Note 2. Business Segments

The 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. The Company’s segments represent components of the Company (a) that engage in activities from which revenue is generated and expenses are incurred, (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the CODM, who uses such information to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. Operating segments are evaluated on their segment profit contribution to the Company’s consolidated results. Other income and expenses, interest, income taxes, and certain other items are managed on a consolidated basis. The Company’s segment accounting policies are described in Note 2 Business Segments of the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

The following table illustrates the Company’s revenues and profit (loss) from operations by segment for the periods indicated:

						Three Months Ended March 31, 2022												Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
						Net Sales						Segment Operating Profit (Loss)						Net Sales						Segment Operating Profit (Loss)
Rail, Technologies, and Services						$	63,710					$	1,039					$	66,232					$	2,225
Precast Concrete Products						15,010						(791)						12,678						(112)
Steel Products and Measurement						20,074						(2,148)						37,170						(928)
Total						$	98,794					$	(1,900)					$	116,080					$	1,185

Segment profit (loss) from operations, as shown above, includes allocated corporate operating expenses. Operating expenses related to corporate headquarter functions that directly support the segment activity are allocated based on segment headcount, revenue contribution, or activity of the business units within the segments, based on the corporate activity type provided to the segment. The expense allocation excludes certain corporate costs that are separately managed from the segments.

The following table provides a reconciliation of segment net (loss) profit to the Company’s consolidated total for the periods presented:

Unallocated corporate assets						73,870						63,870
Total						$	347,412					$	342,595

Note 3. Revenue

Revenue from products or services provided to customers over time accounted for 30.7% and 25.3% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 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 $19,322 and $21,108 for the three months ended March 31, 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 time using an output measure was $10,981 and $8,264 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had contract assets of $34,268 and $36,179, respectively, that were recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had contract liabilities of $3,682 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 69.3% and 74.7% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. 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.

						Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
						Rail, Technologies, and Services						Precast Concrete Products						Steel Products and Measurement						Total
Point in time						$	49,166					$	4,263					$	15,062					$	68,491
Over time						14,544						10,747						5,012						30,303
Total net sales						$	63,710					$	15,010					$	20,074					$	98,794
						Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
						Rail, Technologies, and Services						Precast Concrete Products						Steel Products and Measurement						Total
Point in time						$	52,044					$	4,736					$	29,928					$	86,708
Over time						14,188						7,942						7,242						29,372
Total net sales						$	66,232					$	12,678					$	37,170					$	116,080

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 three months ended March 31, 2022 included transfers of $11,607 from the contract assets balance as of December 31, 2021 to accounts receivable. Significant changes in contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted from increases of $1,957 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 of $1,441 and $676, 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 March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $244,618 of obligations under new contracts and remaining performance obligations, which is also referred to as backlog. Approximately 10.8% of the March 31, 2022 backlog was related to projects that are anticipated to extend beyond March 31, 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 March 31, 2022.

The components of the Company’s intangible assets were as follows for the periods presented:

Note 5. 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 have been reduced by an allowance for credit

losses of $423 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 $61 and income of $22 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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 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.

The following table sets forth the Company’s allowance for credit losses:

						Allowance for Credit Losses
Balance as of December 31, 2021						$	547
Current period provision						61
Write-off against allowance						(185)

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.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement includes two financial covenants: (a) Maximum Gross Leverage Ratio, defined as the Company’s consolidated Indebtedness 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 March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement, as amended. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $636 and had net available borrowing capacity of $93,868, subject to covenant restrictions. The maturity date of the facility is August 13, 2026.

There were 122 and 140 anti-dilutive shares for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 11. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $508 on pretax losses of $2,094 and an income tax benefit of $321 on pre-tax losses of $1,591, respectively, for effective income tax rates of 24.3% and 20.2%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, and research tax credits.

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 recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and performance share units of $258 and $827 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards approximated $4,064. The Company expects to recognize this expense over the upcoming 3.9 years through March 2026.

Table of Contents

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 Executive Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (consisting of cash and equity components).

The following table summarizes the restricted stock awards, deferred stock units, and performance share units activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022:

						Restricted Stock						Deferred Stock Units						Performance Share Units						Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2021						135,704						74,950						116,571						$	19.75

Outstanding as of March 31, 2022						172,985						74,950						147,319						$	18.17

Note 13. 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.

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 March 31, 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The $20,000 interest rate swaps that become 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized interest expense of $97 and $235, 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.

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.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company maintained environmental reserves approximating $2,507 and $2,519, respectively. The following table sets forth the Company’s environmental obligation:

						Environmental liability
Balance as of December 31, 2021						$	2,519
Environmental obligations utilized						(12)
Balance as of March 31, 2022						$	2,507

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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2022, no such disclosures were considered necessary.

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.

While the Company experienced a year over year decline in overall net sales, results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 reflect an increase in overall sales when adjusted for the divestiture of the Piling Products division in September 2021. The Company continued to experience inflationary pressures which impacted results. The first quarter has historically been its lowest quarter for sales due to the seasonality for the Company, however, orders and backlog levels for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, are indicative of seasonal increases looking to the second quarter, which has historically been stronger.

Net sales for the first quarter were $98,794, a $17,286, or 14.9%, decrease versus the prior year quarter. The now divested Piling Products division attributed $20,797 of the year over year sales decline. Net sales increased in the Precast Concrete Products segment by $2,332 and Steel Products and Measurement segment, as adjusted to exclude the Piling Products division, by $3,701, which was partially offset by a $2,522 decrease in Rail, Technologies, and Services segment sales.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $16,447, a $2,383 decrease, or 12.7%, from the prior year, attributable to all three of the Company’s segments. However, the 16.6% consolidated gross profit margin increased by 40 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter, and the Company is generally seeing signs of stability in its margins within the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment, despite continued inflationary pressures experienced. Gross profit decreased in the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment by $277, driven by the $2,522 decrease in sales. Rail, Technologies, and Services gross profit margins increased 40 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 $44, or 1.8%, despite increased sales volumes. Precast Concrete Products segment gross profit margin was reduced by 330 basis points due to raw material and labor inflation and disruption, coupled with a shortage of engineering services to support production design certifications, and is the segment most significantly impacted by these market conditions. In the Steel Products and Measurement segment, gross profit declined from the prior year by $2,062. This decline was primarily attributable to the sale of the Piling Products division by $1,199 and also due to inflationary pressure, particularly in the Bridge Products division. Steel Products and Measurement gross profit margin was down 220 basis points compared to the prior year. The Company continues to be proactive in executing actions to mitigate inflationary pressures experienced, particularly in the Precast Concrete Products and Steel Products and Measurement segments where margins have been most adversely impacted.

Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $728, or 4.0%, from the prior year, primarily driven by decreases in expenses associated with the sale of the Piling Products division. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales were 17.5% versus 15.5% in the prior year quarter, a 200 basis points increase, due primarily to lower sales volume and increased travel expenses in the first quarter of 2022 versus the first quarter of 2021. Other income - net for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $563 while Other expense - net was $59 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to $514 in insurance proceeds received in the current year quarter.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 24.3%, compared to 20.2% in the prior year quarter. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, and research tax credits.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 attributable to L.B. Foster Company was $1,566, or $0.15 per diluted share, an increased loss of $308, or $0.03 per diluted share, from the prior year. The loss was primarily driven by lower volume and inflationary pressure, which was partially offset by reductions in selling and administrative expense and insurance proceeds received in the current year quarter.

The Company’s consolidated backlog(a) was $244,618 as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of $27,326, or 10.0%, from the prior year, with the divested Piling Products division contributing $32,004 to the year over year decline. The Rail, Technologies, and Services and Precast Concrete Product segments reported a $457 and $6,595 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 $2,374 versus the prior year quarter. Sequentially, consolidated backlog(a) increased $34,429, or 16.4% from December 31, 2021, with reported increases of $26,345, $3,733, and $4,351 in the Rail, Technologies, and Services, Precast Concrete Products, and Steel Products and Measurement segments, respectively. Order levels(a) for three months ended March 31, 2022, when adjusted for the Piling Products sale, increased by $20,364, or 17.7% from the prior year quarter. The Company anticipates that strong order and backlog levels are indicative of a seasonal activity ramp up when considering its outlook for the second quarter of 2022, historically its strongest quarter.

The current inflationary cost environment is expected to continue to put pressure on margins across our businesses throughout 2022, although the Company has seen signs of stabilization in certain areas of business during the first quarter of 2021. Actions to mitigate these impacts as much as possible are ongoing, and are anticipated to take hold and have a larger impact as 2022 progresses. 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 in an attempt to mitigate their adverse impact as much as possible. 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.

(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.

First Quarter 2022 Compared to First Quarter 2021

The Rail, Technologies, and Services segment sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $2,522, or 3.8%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in sales was driven by the Rail Products business unit, which declined by $3,938, or 9.0%, offsetting modest sales increases in both the Global Friction Management and Technology Services and Solutions business units. The decrease in the Rail Products business unit was driven by decreased volumes and the timing of shipments versus the prior year quarter. The sales increase in the Global Friction Management business unit is due to strength in domestic markets served as well as increased sales in the United Kingdom, while Technology Services sales drove the increase in the Technology Services and Solutions business unit.

The Rail, Technologies, and Services segment gross profit decreased by $277, or 2.2%, from the prior year quarter. The decrease was driven by overall lower sales volumes. However, 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 $1,039, a $1,186 decrease over the prior year quarter, 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 33.1% compared to the prior year period, driven by improvements in all business units. Backlog as of March 31, 2022 was nearly flat versus March 31, 2021 at $122,918, an increase of $457, or 0.4%. Backlog remains strong, and was above pre-pandemic levels as of March 31, 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Compared to First Quarter 2021

The Precast Concrete Products segment sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $2,332, or 18.4%, compared to the prior year quarter, which is a continued reflection of the strong demand environment in the southern United States market served.

Precast Concrete Products gross profit decreased by $44, or 1.8%, from the prior year quarter. The decline was attributable to continued inflationary pressures experienced in the business unit, and, to a lesser extent, manufacturing inefficiencies due to supply chain disruption. Segment gross profit margin declined by 330 bps for the first quarter of 2022 when compared to the prior year quarter is principally attributable to continued higher raw material and labor costs, coupled with production disruptions. Operating loss for the first quarter of 2022 increased by $679 when compared to the prior year quarter, due in part 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 37.8% compared to the prior year quarter; however, order levels remained consistent with those of recent quarters. Backlog as of March 31, 2022 was $72,369, an increase of $6,595, or 10.0%, from March 31, 2021, nearing double pre-pandemic levels.

First Quarter 2022 Compared to First Quarter 2021

The Steel Products and Measurement segment sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $17,096, or 46.0%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in sales for the first quarter of 2022 was attributable to the $20,797 decline in year over year sales from the Piling Products division, which was divested September 2021. The decline was partially offset by increases in Fabricated Steel Products, excluding the divested Piling Products division, of $2,008 and Coatings and Measurement of $1,693.

Steel Products and Measurement gross profit decreased by $2,062, or 58.3%, from the prior year quarter. The gross profit margin declined 220 basis points to 7.3%, as a result of higher raw material costs for bridge products and unfavorable manufacturing efficiencies in Coatings and Measurement business unit. The segment loss was $2,148, an increased loss of $1,220 from the prior year quarter. Selling and administrative expenses incurred by the segment decreased by $895 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to the Piling Products divestiture.

During the quarter, the Steel Products and Measurement segment new orders decreased by $11,288, or 31.2% compared to the prior year quarter, driven by a $20,575 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. Backlog as of March 31, 2022 was $49,331, a decrease of $34,378, or 41.1%, from March 31, 2021 driven primarily by Fabricated Steel Products, with the decrease in backlog primarily related to the divested Piling Products division representing $32,004 of the decrease. The decline was partially offset by an 57.6% increase in Coatings and Measurement backlog compared to March 31, 2021.

Other

Segment Backlog

Total Company backlog is summarized by business segment in the following table for the periods indicated:

						March 31, 2022						December 31, 2021						March 31, 2021
Rail, Technologies, and Services						$	122,918					$	96,573					$	122,461
Precast Concrete Products						72,369						68,636						65,774
Steel Products and Measurement						49,331						44,980						83,709
Total backlog						$	244,618					$	210,189					$	271,944

The backlog for Steel Products and Measurement includes $32,004 related to the divested Piling Products division as of March 31, 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 $35,611 and $31,251 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and was primarily comprised of borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The following table reflects available funding capacity, subject to covenant restrictions, as of March 31, 2022:

						March 31, 2022

Letters of credit outstanding						(636)
Net availability under the revolving credit facility												93,868
Total available funding capacity												$	100,107

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 March 31, 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.

The changes in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

						Three Months Ended March 31,
						2022						2021
Net cash (used in) provided by continuing operating activities						$	(7,636)					$	7,614
Net cash used in continuing investing activities						(539)						(1,327)
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing financing activities						4,012						(8,446)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents						30						(206)
Net cash used in discontinued operations						—						(184)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents						$	(4,133)					$	(2,549)

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash flows used in operating activities were $7,636, compared to cash flows provided by continuing operating activities of $7,614 during the prior year to date period. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the net loss and adjustments to net loss from continuing operating activities provided $1,408, compared to $2,310 in the 2021 period. Working capital and other assets and liabilities used $9,044 in the current period, compared to providing $5,304 in the prior year period.

The Company’s calculation for days sales outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 46 and 45 days, respectively, and the Company believes it has a high quality receivables portfolio.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $1,764 and $1,327, 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily relate to the expansion of the Precast Concrete Products business line in Texas.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had an increase in outstanding debt of $4,409 and decrease of $8,295, respectively. The increase in debt for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was the result of funding working capital and other assets and liabilities, while the decrease in 2021 was primarily attributable to the utilization of excess cash generated through operating activities. Treasury stock acquisitions of $397 and $547 for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2022, the Company had $6,239 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 March 31, 2022, approximately $5,931 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 in recent years have been to fund its operations, including capital expenditures, 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 March 31, 2022, its revolving credit facility had $93,868 of net availability, while the Company had $35,611 in total debt. The Company’s current ratio as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 2.08.

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 March 31, 2022 the swap asset was $914 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.

Item 4. 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 March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 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.
