L.B. FOSTER REPORTS SECOND QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS
PITTSBURGH, PA, August 4, 2015 – L.B. Foster Company (NASDAQ: FSTR), a leading manufacturer, fabricator, and distributor of products and services for rail, construction, energy and utility markets, today reported its second quarter 2015 operating results, including:
| • | Sales increased by 2.7% to $171.4 million |
| • | Gross profit margin improved to 21.6% |
| • | Diluted EPS decreased by 22.4% to $0.52 per diluted share |
| • | Recent acquisitions contributed $30.3 million of sales at 20.1% gross profit margins in the second quarter |
| • | Current year results include a $0.4 million pretax charge ($.02 per diluted share) related to the write-down of certain fixed assets in our Tucson, AZ concrete tie facility due to the receipt of a termination notice from the Union Pacific Railroad regarding the related concrete tie supply agreement |
| • | Prior year results include a $4.6 million pretax warranty charge ($0.27 per diluted share) for concrete warranty ties |
Second Quarter Results
| • | Second quarter net sales of $171.4 million increased by $4.6 million, or 2.7%, compared to the prior year quarter due to a 99.7% increase in Tubular and Energy Services (“Tubular”) segment sales driven by recent acquisitions and an 18.4% increase in Construction segment sales, partially offset by a 19.2% decline in Rail Products and Services (“Rail”) segment sales. |
| • | Gross profit margin was 21.6%, 320 basis points higher than the prior year quarter. The increase was due to improved Rail and Construction segment margins, partially offset by reduced Tubular segment margins. Included in the prior year second quarter results is a $4.6 million warranty charge related to concrete railroad ties manufactured in our Grand Island, NE facility which was shut down in February 2011. Excluding this charge, gross profit would have been 21.2% for the second quarter of 20141. |
| • | Second quarter net income was $5.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to $6.9 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, last year. Excluding the previously mentioned $4.6 million prior year warranty charge, income from continuing operations would have been $9.7 million, or $0.94 per diluted share in the prior year. |
| • | Selling and administrative expense increased by $4.7 million, or 23.9%, due principally to the costs of businesses acquired after the second quarter of 2014 as well as personnel related costs and acquisition and integration costs. Interest expense was $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $0.1 million in the prior year quarter, the increase being attributable to borrowings related to the recent acquisitions. Amortization expense increased by $2.3 million or 194.9% due to the acquisitions purchased after the second quarter of 2014. |
| 1 | Reconciliations of non-GAAP amounts are set forth on the attached financial tables |
| • | Second quarter bookings were $163.2 million, a 1.0% increase over the prior year second quarter, due to a 224.6% improvement in Tubular segment orders, partially offset by declines of 22.9% and 7.4% in the Rail and Construction segments, respectively. The increase in Tubular segment orders was due to orders generated by our recently acquired energy businesses and, to a lesser extent, our legacy Coated Products division. |
| • | The Company’s income tax rate was 31.5% compared to 32.9% in the prior year quarter. The income tax rate in the current year quarter was positively impacted by certain state income tax matters. |
| • | Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter of 2015 generated $5.5 million compared to a $0.5 million cash usage in the second quarter of 2014. The current year quarter was favorably impacted by improved working capital management. |
CEO Comments
Robert P. Bauer, L.B. Foster Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our results for the quarter reflect the significant acquisition activity the company has engaged in during the fourth quarter of 2014 and first quarter of 2015, including the impact from interest, amortization, transaction and integration costs associated with recently closing three significant acquisitions. In addition, our legacy businesses delivered mixed results with some meeting or exceeding our expectations and others being affected by market weakness and pressure on steel prices. The acquisitions serving the energy markets were not accretive to EPS in the quarter, and we are not forecasting any improvement for the balance of 2015. This is having a dilutive impact on our earnings and will likely continue at the forecasted operating levels for the next two quarters. Despite the difficult environment, both IOS and Chemtec Energy Services continue to be well positioned to serve customers with exploration, production and midstream applications requiring tubular services and critical measurement systems.
Our construction and tubular businesses reported sales increases in both the quarter and on a year-to-date basis. Our Piling and Precast Building divisions, including Carr concrete products, have been the driving force behind a 21% year-over-year increase in sales for the Construction segment through six months. Tubular and Energy Services sales increases were driven by the acquisitions and our base Coated Products business is expected to have a solid second half as our production interruptions from the factory upgrades will be behind us.
Sales for the Rail segment are down for the first half as they cope with fewer projects in the Transit market, pockets of weakness in freight rail, a weaker European business with unfavorable currency impact, and declining sales from Union Pacific Railroad. As previously mentioned; the Company is making adjustments as we remove all Union Pacific sales from our forecasts and have taken charges in the quarter to reflect current conditions. We are also incurring litigation costs for the warranty dispute which are discussed later in the press release.”
Mr. Bauer concluded by saying, “Finally, I remain encouraged by our efforts to drive gross margin improvements. Consolidated gross margins improved in the quarter and in the first half over prior year as we reached 21.9% on a year-to-date basis. As we make investments in systems and continuous improvement programs, we are focused on driving greater efficiency across the Company.”
Q2 Business Segment Highlights
($000’s)
Rail Products and Services Segment
Rail sales decreased 19.2% due to lower sales volumes from several of our track and track component businesses as well as weakness in steel prices, reduced sales to the Union Pacific Railroad and unfavorable currency fluctuations. Despite the reduced volumes in 2015, the current quarter gross profit margin improved by 160 bps over the prior, after excluding the impact of the current year ($0.4
million) and prior year ($4.6 million) warranty related charges, due to improved margins in several product categories as well as an improved product mix.

Construction Products Segment
Construction sales increased by 18.4% in the quarter due principally to stronger sales of our precast buildings as well as sales contributed by our Carr Concrete Products acquisition. Gross profit margins improved due to increased margins in our Piling Products and Precast Buildings divisions.

Tubular and Energy Services Segment
Tubular sales improved by 99.7% in the quarter due to sales of our fourth quarter 2014 acquisition of Chemtec Energy Services and first quarter acquisition of Inspection Oilfield Services, partially offset by softer Coated Products sales. Tubular gross profit margins declined due principally to lower Coated Products margins as well as sales mix due to the additional offerings from acquired businesses.

First Half 2015 Results
| • | Net sales for the first six months of 2015 increased by $31.1 million, or 11.2%, due to a 117.2% increase in Tubular segment sales and a 21.1% improvement in Construction segment sales, partially offset by a 9.1% decline in Rail segment sales. The Tubular sales increase was due to the recent energy related acquisitions, while the Construction segment increase was driven by all divisions (including the precast products business acquired in July 2014) except for the bridge business which is comparing to a record year in 2014. |
| • | Gross profit margin was 21.9%, 220 basis points higher than the prior year period. Excluding the previously mentioned prior year warranty charge, gross profit would have been 21.4% for the first six months of 2014. The resulting 50 basis point improvement was driven by profitability improvements in the Rail and Construction segments, partially offset by lower Tubular segment profitability. |
| • | Selling and administrative expense increased by $8.9 million, or 23.7%, due principally to costs from businesses recently acquired, as well as personnel related costs and acquisition and integration costs. Interest expense was $1.9 million in the first half of 2015 compared to $0.2 million in the comparable prior year period, the increase being attributable to borrowings for the recent acquisitions. Amortization expense increased by $3.3 million, or 142.7% due to several acquisitions over the past twelve months. |
| • | Net income was $9.6 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to $10.5 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, last year. The decline was due to reduced profitability in the Rail and Tubular |
| segments, due to weakness in the energy and rail markets, augmented by increased interest and amortization expense. Excluding the $4.6 million warranty charge taken in the second quarter of 2014, net income for the second half of 2014 would have been $13.3 million, or $1.29 per diluted share. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2015 was $28.8 million compared to $25.8 million, an increase of $3.0 million or 11.7%, due principally to the operations of businesses acquired since the third quarter of 2014. |
| • | The Company’s income tax rate from continuing operations was 33.4%, compared to 32.4% in the prior year six month period. The income tax rate increased due principally to an unfavorable global mix of income in 2015. |
| • | Cash used by operating activities was $1.9 million for the first half of 2015, compared to $31.7 million of cash provided in the prior year period. The prior year cash flow was favorably impacted by improved working capital management that largely corrected issues encountered in the second half of 2013. Capital expenditures were $8.2 million compared to $7.7 million in the comparable 2014 period. |
UNION PACIFIC CONCRETE TIE LITIGATION
The Company has responded to the claims in the lawsuit filed by Union Pacific Railroad related to the warranty dispute over concrete ties produced in our former Grand Island, NE facility. While we continue efforts to resolve the dispute, the litigation process is underway. L.B. Foster has responded to the claims, including by asserting defenses and counterclaims and anticipates seeking to amend its response to include additional defenses and counterclaims based on subsequent conduct by Union Pacific. Among other matters, L.B. Foster maintains that Union Pacific has submitted warranty claims, and has received in response, various replacement ties to which it is not entitled. No pretrial or trial schedule has yet been set in the lawsuit.
L.B. Foster provided replacement concrete ties through the first two quarters of 2015 in excess of the amount rated as warranty eligible pursuant to our agreement with the Union Pacific. L.B. Foster maintains a warranty reserve for concrete railroad ties that stands at approximately $7.8 million as of June 30, 2015.
2015 Outlook
The Company expects 2015 sales to be in the range of $685 million to $725 million. Pretax income is expected to range between $34 million to $40 million while diluted EPS is expected to range from $2.15 to $2.50. We forecast EBITDA to be in the range of $65 to $71 million for the year.
There have been a number of factors impacting this decrease in guidance from last quarter, the most significant of which is the decline in our near term expectations for our recently acquired energy acquisitions. Additionally, we have seen a softening in demand in certain sectors of our legacy rail business as well as our Piling Products division. This includes removing all Union Pacific Railroad sales from our forecast. We also have included increased anticipated litigation related costs concerning the defense and handling of the Union Pacific lawsuit.
Despite recent weakness, we continue to be bullish on the long-term prospects for growth and profitability of our energy acquisitions. We also believe that there are many opportunities in the global rail market that will afford us avenues for growth and value creation without Union Pacific Railroad sales in our mix of business.
L.B. Foster Company will conduct a conference call and webcast to discuss its second quarter 2015 operating results on Tuesday, August 4, 2015 at 11:00 am ET. The call will be hosted by Mr. Robert Bauer, President and Chief Executive Officer. Listen via audio on the L.B. Foster web site: www.lbfoster.com, by accessing the Investor Relations page.

This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include gross profit margins and earnings per share excluding certain concrete tie warranty related costs as well as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in order to provide a better understanding of the ongoing operations of the Company’s business. These supplemental financial measures are useful to management and external users to assess the financial performance of our business without certain concrete tie warranty related costs and the EBITDA measure is useful in the assessment of the use of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis. EBITDA is also a financial measurement that is utilized in the determination of certain compensation programs. Note that the warranty and other charges incurred were associated with concrete ties manufactured at the Company’s Grand Island, NE facility which was closed in 2011.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP financial results and should only be considered in conjunction with the Company’s financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP. Quantitative reconciliations of the GAAP measures are presented below:
