“I am very pleased with the results from the second quarter and the ongoing improvement in financial performance that the Company has achieved,” commented CECO’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Lang. “Our slightly lower revenues in the quarter are the result of our intentional pruning of lower margin customer segments from our backlog, primarily in our Contracting/Services Group. Nevertheless, we expect that revenues will increase as our domestic and global sales initiatives take effect.”
Mr. Lang continued, “We continue to realize the positive results from global growth, streamlining and gross margin enhancement that we began implementing last year. Additionally, nearly 32% of our 2011 bookings were from international customers which provides further proof that our global expansion initiatives continue to be successful.”
CECO will host a conference call on Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. EDT to review its financial results for the quarter. Conferencing details are as follows:

This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These risks and uncertainties, which are more fully described in CECO’s Annual and Quarterly Reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
include, but are not limited to: our dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding our estimates and our method of accounting for contract revenue; our history of losses and possibility of further losses; fluctuations in operating results from period to period due to seasonality of our business; the effect of growth on our infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; our ability to expand our operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations; economic and political conditions generally; and the effect of competition in the air pollution control and industrial ventilation industry. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. We caution investors that other factors might, in the future, prove to be important in affecting our results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Investors are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
