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. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all estimates and adjustments (consisting of normal recurring ~~accruals, unless otherwise stated herein)~~accruals) 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 September 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’ Equityhave been included. Operating results for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~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~~2023 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.~~2023. 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.~~2022. 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 reporting segments in 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 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 does not expect the provisions of ASU 2020-04 to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 2. Business Segments

The Company is a global technology 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,~~Chief Operating Decision Maker, 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~~year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~VanHooseCo Precast LLC~~

On ~~August 12, 2022,~~June 30, 2023, the Company ~~acquired~~sold substantially all the operating assets of ~~VanHooseCo Precast LLC~~the prestressed concrete railroad tie business operated by its wholly-owned subsidiary, CXT Incorporated (“~~VanHooseCo”~~Ties”), ~~a privately-held business headquartered~~located in ~~Loudon, Tennessee specializing~~Spokane, WA, for $2,368 in precast concrete walls, water management products, and traditional precast products for the industrial, commercial, and residential infrastructure markets. The Company acquired VanHooseCo for $52,203, net of cash acquired at closing,proceeds, subject to ~~the finalization of net~~final working capital ~~adjustments. An amount equal to $2,500 of~~adjustments, generating a $1,009 loss on the ~~purchase price~~sale, which was ~~deposited~~recorded in ~~an escrow account in order to cover breaches of representations and warranties.~~“Other expense (income) - net”. The acquisition agreement includes two employment agreements whereby principals have the ability to earn up to an additional $1,000 dependent upon the successful completion of the principals’ employment agreements. VanHooseCo has been included in the Company’s Precast Concrete Products segment.

~~Acquisition Summary~~

Each transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP which requires an acquiring entity to recognize, with limited exceptions, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at fair value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill primarily represents the value paid for each acquisition’s enhancement to the Company’s product and service offerings and capabilities, as well as a premium payment related to the ability to control the acquired assets, as well as the assembled workforce provided.

~~VanHooseCo contributed net sales of $6,353 and operating profit of $397 to the Company’s consolidated results for the period from August 12, 2022 through September 30, 2022.~~

The table below summarizes the Company’s results as though the VanHooseCo acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2022. Certain of VanHooseCo’s historical amounts were reclassified to conform to the Company’s financial presentation of operations, which included recording inventory and property, plant, and equipment at fair market value, to establish intangible assets, to remove deferred compensation expense, and to include interest expense for the additional borrowings. The following unaudited pro forma information is provided for informational purposes only and does not represent what consolidated results of operations would have been had the VanHooseCo acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022 nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations. The Company has omitted the prior year interim period from the table below due to the acquired company being a privately-held entity with limited interim financial information.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the VanHooseCo and Skratch acquisitions. Due to the timing of the acquisitions, the Company is in the process of measuring the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including intangible assets, and values for the allocations shown in the tables below are preliminary.

Customer relationships 1,537 1,349
Trademarks and trade names 2,697 374
Favorable lease 327 —
Total $ 4,561 $ 1,750

The Company made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the VanHooseCo and Skratch acquisitions as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 14 for a description of the fair value hierarchy.

Due to the timing of the acquisitions, values shown in the table above are preliminary. If new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement recognized for assets or liabilities assumed, the Company will retrospectively adjust the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date.

~~Divestiture Summary~~

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.

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 and~~ current economic conditions, including but not limited to labor markets, supply chains, and other inflationary costs. However, ~~the future impacts of COVID-19 and market conditions are~~these factors can be unpredictable and are subject to change. No interim goodwill impairment test was required as a result of the evaluation of qualitative factors as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. However, future impairment charges could result if future projections diverge unfavorably from current expectations in the Rail Technologies and Precast Concrete Products reporting units.

Note 6.5. 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 September 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~~in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, ~~resulted in income~~were recorded as an expense of ~~$40~~$256 and ~~$145~~$150 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively, and an expense of ~~$171~~$411 and ~~income of $127~~$211 for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

The Company ~~established~~establishes 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~~conditions as necessary, including current and expected ~~future~~ market ~~and other~~ conditions. Trade receivables are pooled ~~within the calculation~~ based on ~~a range of ages,~~age, 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.

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

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, as amended, modifies the prior revolving credit facility, as amended, on terms more favorable ~~terms~~to the Company 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”)~~Borrowings 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~~amended, will bear interest at rates based upon either the base rate or ~~LIBOR~~SOFR 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.

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 (as defined in the Credit Agreement), 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.

On August 12, 2022, the Company ~~amended~~entered into a second amendment to its Credit Agreement (“Second Amendment”) to obtain approval for the acquisition of VanHooseCo ~~acquisition~~Precast, LLC (“VanHooseCo”) and temporarily modify certain financial covenants to accommodate the transaction. The Second Amendment permitted the Company to acquire the operating assets of VanHooseCo and modified the Maximum Gross Leverage Ratio covenant to 3.50 through June 30, 2023 to accommodate the transaction. ~~The Second Amendment also added an additional tier to the pricing grid and provided for the conversion from LIBOR-based to SOFR-based borrowings.~~

Note ~~12.~~9. Income Taxes

For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recorded an income tax ~~benefit of $176 and~~ expense of ~~$676,~~$563 and $821, respectively, on pre-tax ~~losses of $2,281 and pre-tax~~ income of ~~$2,916,~~$4,056 and $2,797, respectively, for an effective income tax rate of ~~7.7%~~13.9% and ~~23.2%~~29.4%, respectively. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recorded an income tax expense of ~~$137~~$22 and ~~$1,494,~~$313, respectively, on pre-tax ~~losses of $1,578 and pre-tax~~ income of ~~$5,318,~~$1,344 and $703, respectively, for an effective income tax rate of ~~8.7%~~1.6% and ~~28.1%~~44.5%, respectively. The Company's ~~provision for~~effective income taxes for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 included a discrete income tax expense of $330 for a change in our permanent reinvestment assertion with respect to the undistributed earnings in Canada, as a result of the divestiture of our Track Components business located in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada. In addition to the impact of the discrete items, the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022 and 2021 differs~~2023 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to ~~state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, research~~the realization of a portion of its U.S. deferred tax ~~credits and withholding taxes on excess cash available for repatriation from foreign affiliates.~~assets previously offset by a valuation allowance. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets, which is likely to result in significant variability of the effective tax rate in the current year.

Note ~~13.~~10. 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 of $945 and $925 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1,829 and $1,183 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to restricted stock awards and performance ~~share units of $387 and $587 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1,570 and $1,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.~~unit awards. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, unrecognized compensation expense for ~~unvested~~ awards ~~approximated $3,254. The~~that the Company expects to vest approximated $7,026. The Company will recognize this unrecognized compensation expense over the upcoming ~~3.4~~2.7 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 2022 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, ~~predecessor~~successor to 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~~Awards of restricted stock ~~have been~~are 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. The Company has, on occasion, issued performance share units with longer performance periods as incentivization and retention tools. 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,~~2023, the Compensation Committee approved the ~~2022 Performance Share Unit Program~~2023-2025 Long Term Incentive Plan which includes grants of performance share units and ~~the 2022 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (consisting of cash and equity components).~~

Note ~~14.~~11. Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair value ~~of assets and liabilities based on~~as the ~~exchange~~ price that would be received ~~for~~to sell 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~~at 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.measurement date. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as described below:

Level 1: ~~Quoted~~Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: ~~Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs~~Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are ~~corroborated by market data.~~observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

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.

~~Table of Contents~~

SOFR-based interest rate swaps - To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on outstanding variable-rate debt, the Company amended and entered into forward-starting SOFR-based interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $20,000 and $20,000 effective August 12, 2022 and August 31, 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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the interest rate swaps were recorded in ~~“Other~~“Other current ~~assets”~~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 swap agreements that became effective August 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. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company dedesignated the cash flow hedges and accounted for the $50,000 interest rate swaps on a mark-to-market basis with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings. In connection with this dedesignation, the Company froze the balances recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” at June 30, 2020 and reclassifies balances to earnings as the underlying physical transactions occur, unless it is no longer probable that the physical transaction will occur at which time the related gains deferred in Other Comprehensive Income will be immediately recorded in earnings. The gains and losses related to the interest rate swaps are reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and included in “Interest expense - net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the interest expense from the Company’s debt is recognized. These interest rate swaps expired February 2022.

For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021,~~2023 and 2022, the Company recognized interest ~~expense~~income of ~~$244~~$295 and $19, respectively, from interest rate swaps. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recognized interest income and interest expense of ~~$78~~$540 and ~~$724,~~$78, respectively, from interest rate swaps.

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~~then-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~~2023 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.~~ongoing and involves a process that will ultimately conclude a proposed allocation of liability for cleanup of the site and various sub-areas. The Company does not have any individual risk sharing agreements in place with respect to the site, and was only associated with the site from 1976 to when it purchased the stock of a company whose assets it sold in 1982 and which was dissolved in 1994. 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company maintained environmental reserves approximating $2,447 and $2,472, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company maintained environmental reserves approximating $2,470 and $2,519, respectively. The following table sets forth the Company’s environmental obligation:

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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, no such disclosures were considered necessary.

Results Summary

Net sales of $148,034 for the ~~third quarter of 2022 were $130,015, essentially unchanged versus~~three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $16,519, or 12.6%, over the prior year quarter. ~~However, net~~The change in sales ~~increased 8.7% organically~~is due in part to the acquisitions of Skratch and ~~5.5% from acquisitions, which was~~VanHooseCo offset by the divestiture of the Track Components and Chemtec businesses. Organic growth and acquisitions drove a ~~14.3% decrease~~13.3% and 6.0% increase in sales over the prior year quarter, respectively, with an offsetting 6.8% decline from divestitures. Sales activity includes a 4.6% increase in the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment, a 60.6% increase in the Precast Concrete Product segment, and a 37.6% decrease in the Steel Products and Measurement segment.

Gross profit for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023, was ~~$23,096,~~$32,252, an $821 increase, or 3.7%, from the prior year quarter. The increase in reported gross profit was driven primarily by the Precast Concrete Product segment, which increased by $2,929, or 107.8%, due in part to the VanHooseCo acquisition as well as improved margins in the legacy Precast Concrete Products business. Partially offsetting the increase was a decline in gross profit in the Steel Products and Measurement segment of $1,556 due to the Piling divestiture, as well as a more modest decline of $552 in Rail, Technologies, and Services. Gross profit in the quarter included a $3,956 million adverse impact associated with the settlement of certain long-term commercial contracts related to the multi-year Crossrail project in the Company’s Technology Services and Solutions business in the United Kingdom. This settlement also reduced net sales for the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment by $3,956. Consolidated gross profit margin increased by 70 basis points to 17.8% when compared to the prior year quarter, with the increase attributable to the Precast Concrete Product segment, which was up 450 bps compared to the prior year period due to the VanHooseCo acquisition as well as improved margins in the legacy Precast Concrete Products business, and the Steel Products and Measurement segment which had a margin increase of ~~230 bps~~$8,959 over the prior year quarter, or 38.5%, and gross profit margins expanded by 410 basis points to 21.8%. The improvement in gross profit is due to the ~~sale~~portfolio changes that are a part of the ~~lower margin Piling business.

~~The Company’s consolidated backlog(a)~~ was $272,777 as of September 30, 2022, an increase of $41,051, or 17.7%, from the prior year. The Precast Concrete Product and Steel Products and Measurement segments reported a $17,048 and $24,954 backlog increase versus the prior year quarter, respectively, while the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment reported a decrease of $951 versus the prior year quarter. New order levels~~(a)~~ for three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $1,592, or 1.1%, from the prior year quarter. New orders increased 5.0% organically and 5.6% from acquisitions, offset by a 11.7% decrease from divestitures.

While the present inflationary environment in labor and raw materials continues to pressure margins across the business, the Company has realized some benefit from cost and pricing mitigation actions taken, as evidenced in the Company's third quarter results. These mitigation efforts, along with the Company's portfolio transformation activities, drove the 70 basis point increase in margins from the prior year period, despite the $3,956 million unfavorable impact on gross profit levels due to the Crossrail adjustment. The Company continues to ~~prioritize growth and margin improvement as well as~~execute its strategic transformation into a technology-focused, high growth infrastructure solutions provider, as evidenced ~~from~~by the ~~acquisition~~number of ~~VanHooseCo and~~recent portfolio actions taken, including the ~~divestiture~~sale of Ties, which further reduces the Company’s ~~Track Components business that were completed during the quarter. The additional flexibility~~commoditized offering to allow for increased focus on its core growth platforms, Rail Technologies and ~~capacity resulting from the amendments to the Company’s credit agreement completed in 2021~~Precast Concrete, as well as organic growth initiatives, debt reduction, and ~~2022 also provides the resources needed to fund operations and execute on any additional organic or acquisitive growth opportunities through the balance of 2022 and beyond.~~

As recessionary market conditions persist and are in some ways expanding, these conditions may impact demand for the Company’s offerings. However, the Company expects that many of its businesses will continue to directly benefit from infrastructure investment activity, including funding benefits from 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.

~~(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 in sales for the third quarter of 2022 was attributable to the $16,313 decline in year over year sales from the Piling Products division, which was divested in September of 2021. The decline was partially offset by an increase in Fabricated Steel Products, excluding the divested Piling Products division, of $1,102 and an increase of $881 in the ~~Coatings and Measurement~~higher margin Global Friction Management business ~~unit.~~

~~Steel Products and Measurement gross~~along with improved pricing. Operating profit ~~decreased by $1,556, or 27.6%, from~~was $6,627, a $2,629 increase over the prior year quarter, due primarily to ~~lower sales volume associated with the sale of the Piling Products business. The~~higher gross profit margin increased 230 basis points to 17.1%, as a result of a more favorable mix in 2022 due to the sale of the lower margin Piling Products business. The segment operating profit was $303, a $330 increase from the prior year quarter. Selling and administrative expenses incurred by the segment decreased by $1,936 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to expenses associated with the Piling Products divestiture in 2021.

During the quarter, the Steel Products and Measurement segment new orders increased by $18,542, or 58.8% compared to the prior year quarter, due to a $32,763 increase in Coatings and Measurement, driven primarily by a large order in the Company’s line pipe coating facility in Birmingham, AL, to support a carbon capture and sequestration pipeline project. This increase was offset by a $13,237 decrease in orders due to the sale of the Piling division in the prior year period. Backlog as of September 30, 2022 was $77,301, an increase of $24,954, or 47.7%, from September 30, 2021, driven by the order increase in Coatings and Measurement business unit, which was partially offset by a decrease in Fabricated Steel Products business unit, including reductions due to the Piling divestiture.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 1.6%, compared to 44.5% in the prior year quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the realization of a portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets previously offset by a valuation allowance. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets, which is likely to result in significant variability of the effective tax rate in the current year.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 attributable to the Company was $1,379, or $0.12 per diluted share, favorable by $935, or $0.08 per diluted share, from the prior year quarter. Net income was primarily driven stronger operating profit stemming

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $3,880 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, 2023, approximately $2,418 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, 2023, the Company's revolving credit facility had $39,547 of net availability, while the Company had $89,505 in total debt.

On August 13, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which increased the total commitments under the revolving credit facility to $130,000, extended the maturity date from April 30, 2024 to August 13, 2026, and provided more favorable covenant terms. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest rates based upon either the base rate or SOFR 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. On August 12, 2022, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to obtain approval for the VanHooseCo acquisition and temporarily modify certain financial covenants to accommodate the transaction. The Second Amendment permitted the Company to acquire the operating assets of VanHooseCo and modified the maximum Gross Leverage Ratio covenant to 3.50 through June 30, 2023 to accommodate the transaction. The Second Amendment also added an additional tier to the pricing grid and provided for the conversion from LIBOR-based to SOFR-based borrowings. For a discussion of the terms and availability of the credit facilities, please refer to Note 7 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 amended and entered into SOFR-based interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $20,000 and $20,000, effective August 12, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively, at which point the agreements effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contract.

Steel Products and Measurement	65,956		86,509		47,321
Total backlog	$	290,076	$	272,251	$	250,845

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~~The Company defines new orders as a contractual agreement between the Company and ~~Capital Resources~~

~~The Company’s principal sources~~a third-party in which the Company will, or has the ability to, satisfy the performance obligations of ~~liquidity are its existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated by operations, and~~ the ~~available capacity~~promised products or services under the ~~revolving credit facility, which provides for a total commitment~~terms of ~~up to $130,000.

The Company believes that its reserves for credit losses are appropriate as of September 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.

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.~~2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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 ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. 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 ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, 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.
