L.B. FOSTER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 10 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, have been included. However, actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 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 the L.B. Foster Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2020, 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 U.S. 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. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, presenting financial assets measured at amortized cost basis at the net amount expected to be collected upon inception. The CECL model applies to trade receivables, other receivables, and most debt instruments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses, and entities must measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective approach as of the beginning of the period of adoption. In accordance with the standard, the Company evaluated its allowance for credit losses for trade receivables and contract assets, the only assets held by the Company that were impacted by the scope of the standard. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 had no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations, and no adjustment to January 1, 2020 retained earnings was recorded; the Company has presented the disclosures required by this new standard in Note 5 Accounts Receivable and Note 6 Inventory.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2018-15”). The ASU requires capitalization of certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that qualifies as a service contract. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the ASU had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 2. Business Segments
The Company is a leading manufacturer and distributor of products and provider of services for transportation and energy infrastructure with locations in North America and Europe. The Company is organized and operates in three different operating segments: the Rail Products and Services segment, the Construction Products segment, and the Tubular and Energy Services segment. The 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 Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who makes 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 the same as those 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, 2019.

Note 3. Revenue
Revenue from products or services provided to customers over time accounted for 25.5% and 27.7% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenue under these long-term agreements is generally 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 the Company’s performance to date under the terms of the contract. Revenue recognized over time using an input measure was $24,432 and $31,837 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 $8,345 and $9,911 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had contract assets of $32,438 and $37,032, respectively, that were recorded in “Inventories - net” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had contract liabilities of $5,840 and $4,472, 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 74.5% and 72.3% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time at which the customer obtains control of the product or service, which is generally when the product title passes to the customer upon shipment or the service has been rendered to the customer. In limited cases, title does not transfer and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the products at a physical location.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed receivables, costs in excess of billings (contract assets, included in “Inventories - net”), and billings in excess of costs (contract liabilities, included in “Deferred revenue”) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Significant changes in contract assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted from transfers of $15,600 at the beginning of the period from contract assets to receivables. Significant changes in contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted from increases of $2,943 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, 2020 and 2019 of $2,614 and $948, respectively, that were included in the contract liabilities at the beginning of each period.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $237,691 of remaining performance obligations, which is also referred to as backlog. Approximately 7.9% of the March 31, 2020 backlog was related to projects that are anticipated to extend beyond March 31, 2021.

Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, which range from 5 to 25 years, with a total weighted average amortization period of approximately 16 years as of March 31, 2020. Amortization expense was $1,463 and $1,712 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, certain fully amortized intangible assets of $1,186 related to non-compete agreements were eliminated from gross intangible assets and accumulated amortization.

As of March 31, 2020, estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2020 and thereafter was as follows:

Note 5. Accounts Receivable
Credit is extended 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,255 and $1,100, respectively. Changes in reserves for uncollectable accounts, which are recorded as part of “Selling and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, resulted in expense of $164 and $100 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective approach, which did not result in any changes to the previously reported financial information. The updates related to ASU 2016-13 were applied to assets held as of January 1, 2020.

In accordance with adoption of the new standard, the Company evaluated and revised its policies surrounding the allowance for credit losses for trade receivables. 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 considered current and
11

Table of Contents
expected future market and other conditions. Trade receivables are pooled within the calculation based on age range, 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. Management maintains high-quality credit review practices as well as positive customer relationships that further mitigate credit risk. Management will monitor and review the contributing factors to our reserve, and make any appropriate revisions as they may become necessary.

The Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not require material changes to the allowance for credit losses and no adjustment was recorded to opening retained earnings.
Note 6. Inventory
Inventories as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are summarized in the following table:
March 31,

Work-in-process7,006  3,728  
Raw materials20,189  18,677  
Inventories - net$113,531  $119,301  

Inventories of the Company are valued at average cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower.

In accordance with adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company evaluated and revised its policies relating to the allowance for credit losses as they pertain to contract assets, as these assets held in inventory will convert to trade receivables upon recognition of revenue for the contract to which they pertain.

In addition to contract-specific provisions for which reserves were historically established as a result of our robust contract review process, management also elected to implement a standard credit loss provision over any remaining contract assets considered to be similar low risk of credit loss.

The development of these estimates is based on historic collection trends, accuracy of contract margin reporting, as well as the expectation that collection patterns, margin accuracy, and bad debt expense will continue to adhere to patterns observed in recent years. These expectations were formed based on trends observed as well as current and expected future conditions. Management will monitor and review the contributing factors to our reserve, and make any appropriate revisions as they become necessary.

Note 8. Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Operating leases are included in “Operating lease right-of-use assets,” “Other current liabilities,” and “Long-term operating lease liabilities” within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in “Property, plant, and equipment - net,” “Current maturities of long-term debt,” and “Long-term debt” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has operating and finance leases for manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, sales offices, vehicles, and certain equipment. As of March 31, 2020, our leases had remaining lease terms of 1 to 12 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 12 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year.

The balance sheet components of the Company's leases were as follows as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

On April 30, 2019, the Company, its domestic subsidiaries, and certain of its Canadian and European subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., and BMO Harris Bank, N.A. This Amended Credit Agreement modified the prior revolving credit facility, which had a maximum credit line of $195,000 and extended the maturity date from March 13, 2020 to April 30, 2024. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, revolving credit facility that permits aggregate borrowings of the Borrowers up to $140,000, excluding the term loan, 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 Amended Credit Agreement’s incremental loan feature permits the Company to increase the available revolving borrowings under the facility by up to an additional $50,000 and provides for additional term loan borrowings of up to $25,000 subject to the Company’s receipt of increased commitments from existing or new lenders and the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Company’s and the domestic, Canadian, and United Kingdom guarantors’ (the “Guarantors”) obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by the grant of a security interest by the Borrowers and Guarantors in substantially all of the personal property 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 domestic subsidiaries, have been pledged to the lenders as collateral for the lending obligations.

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at rates based upon either the base rate or Euro-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 Amended 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 Euro-rate plus 100 basis points (each as defined in the
14

Table of Contents
Amended Credit Agreement). The base rate and Euro-rate spreads range from 25 to 125 basis points and 125 to 225 basis points, respectively.

The Amended Credit Agreement includes three 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, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, and (ii) 3.50 to 1.00 for all testing periods occurring during an Acquisition Period; (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 Amended Credit Agreement, which must be a minimum of 1.25 to 1.00; and (c) Minimum Working Capital to Revolving Facility Usage Ratio, defined as the sum of the inventory and accounts receivable of the Borrowers and certain other Guarantors divided by the Revolving Facility Usage, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, which must be a minimum 1.40 to 1.00.

The Amended 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 Amended Credit Agreement) has occurred prior to or after giving effect to the dividend, distribution, or redemption. Additionally, the Amended 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 $25,000 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; (ii) $50,000 in the aggregate for multiple acquisitions entered into during four consecutive quarters; and (iii) $100,000 in the aggregate over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.

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, 2020, L.B. Foster was in compliance with the covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $559 and had net available borrowing capacity of $98,753. The maturity date of the facility is April 30, 2024.
Note 10. 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 within “Cash and cash equivalents” 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 forward starting LIBOR-based interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $50,000. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the interest rate swaps were recorded within “Other accrued liabilities.”

The interest rate swaps 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized interest expense of $73 and interest income of $65, respectively, from interest rate swaps.

In accordance with the provisions of the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” the Company measures certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value, which are recognized or disclosed on a nonrecurring basis.

There were approximately 190 anti-dilutive shares during the three months ended March 31, 2020 excluded from the above calculation. There were no anti-dilutive shares during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Note 12. Stock-based Compensation
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 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 compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and performance share units of $680 and $855 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards approximated $5,893. The Company will recognize this expense over the upcoming 4 years through March 2024.

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.
16

Table of Contents
Restricted Stock Awards and Performance Share Units
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 agreement. Since May 2018, awards of restricted stock are subject to a minimum one-year vesting period, including those granted to non-employee directors. Prior to May 2018, awards to non-employee directors were made in fully-vested shares. 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, there have been no non-employee directors who elected the option to receive deferred stock units of the Company’s common stock in lieu of director cash compensation.

In February 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the 2020 Performance Share Unit Program and the Executive Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (consisting of cash and equity components).

Note 13. Retirement Plans
Retirement Plans
The Company has three retirement plans that cover its hourly and salaried employees in the United States: one defined benefit plan, which is frozen, and two defined contribution plans. Employees are eligible to participate in the appropriate plan based on employment classification. The Company’s contributions to the defined benefit and defined contribution plans are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Company’s policy and investment guidelines applicable to each respective plan. The Company’s policy is to contribute at least the minimum in accordance with the funding standards of ERISA.

The Company maintains two defined contribution plans for its employees in Canada, as well as one post-retirement benefit plan. The Company also maintains two defined contribution plans and one defined benefit plan for its employees in the United Kingdom.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Product Liability Claims
The Company is subject to product warranty claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. For certain manufactured products, the Company maintains a product warranty accrual, which is adjusted on a monthly basis as a percentage of cost of sales. In addition, the product warranty accrual is adjusted periodically based on the identification or resolution of known individual product warranty claims.

The following table sets forth the Company’s product warranty accrual:

Union Pacific Railroad (“UPRR”) Concrete Tie Matter
On March 13, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary, CXT Incorporated (“CXT”), entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with UPRR to resolve the pending litigation in the matter of Union Pacific Railroad Company v. L.B. Foster Company and CXT Incorporated, Case No. CI 15-564, in the District Court for Douglas County, Nebraska.

Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company and CXT will pay UPRR the aggregate amount of $50,000 without pre-judgment interest, which began with a $2,000 immediate payment, and with the remaining $48,000 paid in installments over a six-year period commencing on the effective date of the Settlement Agreement through December 2024 pursuant to a Promissory Note. Additionally, commencing in January 2019 and through December 2024, UPRR agreed to purchase 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. 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.

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. 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. We cannot predict the ultimate impact of these proceedings because of the large number of PRPs involved throughout the harbor 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, 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 of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company maintained environmental reserves approximating $6,052 and $6,068, respectively. The following table sets forth the Company’s environmental obligation:
Environmental liability
Balance as of December 31, 2019$6,068  
Environmental obligations utilized(16) 
Balance as of March 31, 2020$6,052  

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, 2020.

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, 2020, no such disclosures were considered necessary.
Note 15. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $828 on pre-tax losses of $2,694 and income tax expense of $638 on pre-tax income of $4,328, respectively, for an effective income tax rate of 30.7% and 14.7%, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses.

Note 16. Subsequent Events
On April 30, 2020, the Company approved the permanent closure of three operating locations servicing the U.S. Niobrara and Bakken oil and gas production regions and the discontinuance of mobile services for the Permian production region within our Test, Inspection, and Threading Services business unit. These closures are a result of the Company’s continuing strategic review of operations serving the U.S. oil and gas market, which includes the events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. With the deterioration of the oil and gas market and unfavorable outlook, the industry expects significant difficulties in funding ongoing development activity that requires the Company's services. The Company believes these actions will strengthen its core businesses, result in improved operating profitability, and allow for the reallocation of resources and investment opportunities to provide sustainable value to its shareholders. The Company expects the closure of these operations to be substantially completed during 2020.

As a result of these activities, the Company expects to incur certain exit and disposal charges consisting of relocation and employee retention expenses, as well as asset impairments, site clean-up, and facility restoration expenses, totaling approximately $5,500 to $7,000 in its Tubular and Energy Services operating segment during the second quarter and remainder of 2020. These expenses consist of estimated cash charges of approximately $1,500 to $2,500 and estimated non-cash charges of approximately $4,000 to $4,500. The approximate expense resulting from these actions could change materially as a result of certain factors including unknown or unforeseen costs as part of winding up these operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Many of the forward-looking statements are located in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”). Forward-looking statements provide management's current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Sentences containing words such as “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “expect,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” or their negatives, or other similar expressions of a future or forward-looking nature generally should be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events that involve inherent risks and uncertainties and may concern, among other things, L.B. Foster Company’s (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. While the Company considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control.

General Overview and Business Update
L.B. Foster Company is a leading manufacturer and distributor of products and provider of services for transportation and energy infrastructure with locations in North America and Europe. The Company is comprised of three operating segments: Rail Products and Services, Construction Products, and Tubular and Energy Services.

During the month of March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several national, state, provincial, and local state of emergency orders were declared that included significant restrictive measures in the countries and other jurisdictions in which the Company sells, manufactures, and services products and systems. The Company is considered an “essential” business under the majority of these governmental orders and, as such, is allowed to continue operating in such jurisdictions. In response, the Company adopted its Pandemic Action Plan, pursuant to which the Company implemented a range of enhanced safety protocols recommended by the United States (“U.S.”) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and applicable recommendations of non-U.S. governments and authorities to mitigate the spread of the virus while the Company continues operations in various locations. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced disruptions in supply chains, customer acceptance of material, and customer willingness to have the Company's employees work on site, as well as general weakness in demand as stay-at-home orders were enacted and global, national, and regional economic slowdowns occurred.

The Company anticipates continued disruptions in the second quarter of 2020 and possibly beyond as stay-at-home orders have remained in effect to date in the major markets we serve. The Company has experienced minimal disruption with its workforce up to this point, and the Company expects to continue to operate under its established pandemic protocols with minimal changes. The second quarter has historically been an important quarter for the Company, as it typically experiences an increase in orders and backlog as construction projects are planned and started. The Rail Products and Services and Construction Products segments are currently experiencing steady proposal activity and continuation of planned projects as we expect economies to recover and to return to more normal operations. However, the outlook for the Tubular and Energy Services segment is much less favorable due to the impact on demand that the COVID-19 pandemic has had in the energy markets.

Since the middle of 2019, the upstream energy markets that the Company serves have deteriorated as prices of oil and natural gas have declined leading to production cuts from reduced drilling activity. This deterioration has recently accelerated as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the associated reduction in demand due to reduced travel and movement of goods throughout the world. As U.S. exploration and production companies reduce production and implement spending cuts, demands for much of what the Company does in its Test, Inspection, and Threading Services division of the Tubular and Energy Services segment has sharply declined and further deterioration is anticipated. As a result, the Company is taking a number of steps to minimize the unfavorable impact from the anticipated loss in sales volume.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company announced the closure of three service centers within the Test, Inspection, and Threading Services business that did not have a path to profitability as they were operating in markets that were not expected to recover. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company incurred approximately $204 related to those closures. On April 30, 2020, the Company approved the permanent closure of an additional three operating locations servicing the U.S. Niobrara and Bakken oil and gas production regions and the discontinuance of mobile services for the Permian production region. The Company believes that these actions will strengthen its core businesses, result in improved operating profitability, and allow for the reallocation of resources and investment opportunities to provide sustainable value to its shareholders. The Company expects the closure of these operations to be substantially completed during 2020. As a result of these activities, the Company expects to incur certain exit and disposal charges consisting of relocation and employee retention expenses, as well as asset impairments, site clean-up, and facility restoration expenses, totaling approximately $5,500 to $7,000. The approximate expense resulting from these actions could change materially as a result of certain factors including unknown or unforeseen costs as part of winding up these operations.

The Company is continuing to evaluate the market conditions and outlook for the energy markets and will continue to evaluate actions of this nature for the Test, Inspection, and Threading Services division. The Company may determine that additional service centers need to be shut down, or similar strategic actions may need to be undertaken in order to effectively navigate the very difficult market conditions in the upstream energy market. While the Company is anticipating an unfavorable impact of the current environment on its businesses serving the mid-stream energy market, the Company currently believes that, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on oil and natural gas demand dissipates over time, these businesses will recover. However, the Company is taking steps to address the cost structure of its mid-stream businesses to mitigate the impact of the deterioration in energy prices on the Company’s mid-stream service offerings.

First Quarter 2020 Compared to First Quarter 2019 – Company Analysis
Net sales of $128,775 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $21,694, or 14.4%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decline was attributable to reductions within each of our three segments, due in part to disruptions across each of our segments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales for the Construction Products segment decreased by 22.3%, the Tubular and Energy Services segment decreased by 21.1%, and the Rail Products and Services segment decreased by 7.3%.

Gross profit decreased by $7,505 compared to the prior year quarter to $21,657 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decline in gross profit was attributable to each of the three segments, as Tubular and Energy Services decreased by 45.2%, Construction Products decreased by 27.5%, and Rail Products and Services decreased by 12.3%. Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 16.8%, or 260 basis points (“bps”) lower than the prior year quarter, primarily due to Tubular and Energy Services.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $592, or 2.7%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in expense was primarily driven by reductions in third-party professional service expenses of $718. As a percent of sales, selling and administrative expenses increased 200 bps compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the 14.4% reduction in sales.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 30.7%, compared to 14.7% in the prior year quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $828, compared to income tax expense of $638 in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses. The increase in

the effective tax rate compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to the realization of a portion of U.S. deferred tax assets previously offset by a valuation allowance during the prior year quarter.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $1,866, or $0.18 loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $3,690, or $0.35 earnings per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

First Quarter 2020 Compared to First Quarter 2019
The Rail Products and Services segment sales decreased by $5,490, or 7.3%, compared to the prior year quarter. The sales decline was primarily driven by our Rail Technologies business which decreased by $2,846, or 9.7%, from the prior year due primarily to our North American friction management consumable products and services as freight and transit rail customer traffic declined as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also contributing to the decline was reduced activity levels on the London Crossrail project in the U.K, primarily from the project nearing its completion and stay-at-home orders resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Rail Products and Services segment gross profit decreased by $1,745, or 12.3%, from the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by the volume decline in our Rail Technologies business. Segment gross profit margin declined by 100 bps as a result of the reduction in demand in our friction management offerings due to weakened demand resulting from less movement of freight and transit traffic, coupled with stay-at-home orders that delayed services for the London Crossrail project. Segment profit was $1,171, a $2,308 decline over the prior year quarter. Selling, general, and administrative expenses incurred by the segment increased by $658 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to increased personnel costs.

During the current quarter, the Rail Products and Services segment had a decrease in new orders of 23.5% compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily related to activity within our global transit projects, friction management consumables, and on track services. Backlog as of March 31, 2020 was $108,910, a 5.0% increase from December 31, 2019.

First Quarter 2020 Compared to First Quarter 2019
The Construction Products segment sales decreased by $8,311, or 22.3%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decline was attributable to volume decreases in both the Piling and Fabricated Bridge division and the Precast Concrete Products division, resulting in sales reductions of $5,341 and $2,970, respectively. Piling and Fabricated Bridge experienced decreased volume during the current year quarter primarily due to inclement weather impacting the timing and ability to fulfill orders. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2019 included revenue from the Port Everglades project, which was a project of a much larger size than any project that the business had in the current year quarter. Our Precast Concrete Products business unit sales were unfavorably impacted by the relocation of operations to Boise, ID during the first quarter of 2020. This relocation resulted in expected downtime of production until the new facility became fully operational.

Table of Contents
Construction Products gross profit decreased by $1,533, or 27.5%, over the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to relocation and start-up costs coupled with lower operational efficiency during the ramp-up of the new precast concrete facility in Boise, ID, which resulted in a year-over-year decline in gross profit of $1,221. This facility is expected to attain full operational efficiency by the third quarter of 2020. The segment loss of $1,639 was a reduction of $2,473 from the prior year quarter segment profit of $834. Included within the first quarter of 2020 segment loss are relocation and start-up costs of $677 related to the Boise, ID facility.

During the quarter, the Construction Products segment had a decrease in new orders of 13.5% compared to the prior year quarter, which was primarily related to a decline in bridge decking projects. The Company believes the decline is related to the stay-at-home orders associated with COVID-19, which delayed the progress of scheduled projects. As of March 31, 2020, backlog was $102,066, a 10.6% increase from December 31, 2019.

First Quarter 2020 Compared to First Quarter 2019
Tubular and Energy Services segment sales decreased by $7,893, or 21.1%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was due to deteriorating conditions in the served U.S. oil and gas market. The reduction in demand caused by reduced travel throughout the world as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused exploration and production companies to decrease their activities and reduce spending, which impacted the need for our products and services within the segment. This led to sales decreases of $5,020 and $2,873 in our Test, Inspection, and Threading Services and Protective Coatings and Measurement Systems businesses, respectively, from the prior year quarter.

Tubular and Energy Services segment gross profit decreased by $4,227, or 45.2%, which was primarily attributable to the reduced volumes within our Test, Inspection, and Threading Services business unit and, to a lesser extent, Protective Coatings and Measurement Systems resulting in gross profit decreases of 163.3% and 19.3%, respectively. Segment gross profit margin decreased by 760 bps over the prior year quarter, which was primarily driven by reduced revenue volume supporting the fixed costs within the Test, Inspection, and Threading Services business. Segment profit decreased by $4,076, or 86.9%, over the prior year quarter. The first quarter of 2020 segment profit included closure costs of $204 related to the Test, Inspection, and Threading Services site closures enacted in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Tubular and Energy Services segment had a decrease of 36.1% in new orders compared to the prior year quarter. Each of the business units within the segment contributed to the decline in new orders as capital spending and project delays within the served domestic oil and gas market negatively impacted the segment.

On April 30, 2020, the Company approved the permanent closure of three operating locations servicing the U.S. Niobrara and Bakken oil and gas production regions and the discontinuance of mobile services for the Permian production region within our Test, Inspection, and Threading Services business unit. These closures are a result of the Company’s continuing strategic review of operations serving the U.S. oil and gas market. The Company believes these actions will strengthen its core businesses, result in improved operating profitability, and allow for the reallocation of resources and investment opportunities to provide sustainable value to its shareholders. The Company expects the closure of these operations to be substantially completed during 2020.

As a result of these activities, the Company expects to incur certain exit and disposal charges consisting of relocation and employee retention expenses, as well as asset impairments, site clean-up, and facility restoration expenses, totaling approximately $5,500 to $7,000 in the Tubular and Energy Services operating segment. The approximate expense resulting from these actions could change materially as a result of certain factors including unknown or unforeseen costs as part of winding up these operations.

While a considerable portion of our business is backlog-driven, certain product lines within the Rail Products and Services and Tubular and Energy Services segments are not driven by backlog.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated by operations, and our available capacity under our revolving credit facility, which provides for a total commitment of up to $140,000. Our 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. Our total debt was $64,187 and $58,193 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was primarily comprised of borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

The following table reflects our available funding capacity as of March 31, 2020:

Letters of credit outstanding(559) 
Net availability under the revolving credit facility98,753  
Total available funding capacity$105,171  

Our cash flows are impacted from period to period by fluctuations in working capital. While we place an emphasis on working capital management in our operations, factors such as our contract mix, commercial terms, days sales outstanding (“DSO”), and market conditions as well as seasonality may impact our working capital. We regularly assess our receivables for collectability, and provide allowances for doubtful accounts where appropriate. We believe that our reserves for doubtful accounts are appropriate as of March 31, 2020, but adverse changes in the economic environment, including further deterioration of demand for crude oil and natural gas in the energy markets, and adverse financial conditions of our customers resulting from, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic, may impact certain of our customers' ability to access capital and compensate us for our products and services, as well as impact demand for our products and services.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, cash flows used in operating activities were $6,890, compared to $13,546 during the prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the net (loss) income and adjustments to net (loss) income from operating activities provided $2,941, compared to $8,842 in the 2019 period. Working capital and other assets and liabilities used $9,831 in the current period, compared to $22,388 in the prior year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company made a payment totaling $2,000 under the terms of the concrete tie settlement agreement with Union Pacific Railroad.

Table of Contents
The Company’s calculation for DSO at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 46 and 49 days, respectively, and we believe our receivables portfolio is strong.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $4,444 and $2,572, respectively. The current year expenditures relate to the purchase of a continuous welded rail car and unloader within our Rail Products and Services segment, facility start-up expenditures within our Construction Products and Tubular and Energy Services segments, and general plant and operational improvements throughout the Company. Expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to plant expansion and automation integration programs within our Tubular and Energy Services segment as well as general plant and operational improvements throughout the Company.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had an increase in outstanding debt of $6,002, primarily related to the need for seasonal operational funding. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had an increase in outstanding debt of $15,200, primarily related to the funding of working capital for operations. Treasury stock acquisitions of $1,657 and $526 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, represent income tax withholdings from employees in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards.

Financial Condition
As of March 31, 2020, we had $6,418 in cash and cash equivalents. Our cash management priority continues to be short-term maturities and the preservation of our principal balances. As of March 31, 2020, approximately $5,178 of our cash and cash equivalents was held in non-domestic bank accounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repatriated $5,387 in excess cash from our international locations We principally maintain our cash and cash equivalents in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions.

Our principal uses of cash in recent years have been to fund our operations, including capital expenditures, and to service our indebtedness. We view our short and long-term liquidity as being dependent on our results of operations, changes in working capital and our borrowing capacity. As of March 31, 2020, our revolving credit facility had $98,753 of net availability, while we had $64,187 in total debt. Our current ratio as of March 31, 2020 was 1.93. We believe that the combination of our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and the capacity under our revolving credit facility will provide us with sufficient liquidity to provide the flexibility to operate the business in a prudent manner and enable us to continue to service our outstanding debt.

To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on outstanding variable-rate debt, we entered into forward starting LIBOR-based interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $50,000. The swaps became effective on February 28, 2017, at which point they effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contract. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the swap liability was $1,640 and $480, respectively.

For a discussion of the terms and availability of our credit facilities, please refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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. We have updated our allowance for doubtful accounts policies since December 31, 2019, in conjunction with our adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”), as further described in Note 5 and Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements include purchase obligations and standby letters of credit.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to risks that increases in interest rates may adversely affect funding costs associated with its variable-rate debt. To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of this variable-rate debt, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert a portion of the debt from a variable to a fixed-rate borrowing during the term of the swap contracts. See Note 10 Fair Value Measurements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, a 1% change in the interest rate for variable rate debt as of March 31, 2020 would increase or decrease interest expense by approximately $175.

The Company does not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. It does enter into interest rate hedges to reduce the risk in the variability of interest rate fluctuations. At contract inception, the Company designates its derivative instruments as hedges. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. Fluctuations in the fair values of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings within other income as the underlying hedged items affect earnings. To the extent that a change in a derivative does not perfectly offset the change in value of the interest rate being hedged, the ineffective portion is recognized in earnings immediately.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a current liability of $1,640 and $480, respectively, related to its LIBOR-based interest rate swap agreements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company is subject to exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company may manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on firm sale and purchase commitments by entering into foreign currency forward contracts. The Company’s risk management objective is to reduce its exposure to the effects of changes in exchange rates on these transactions over the duration of the transactions. The Company did not engage in foreign currency hedging transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
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, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective 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, 2020, 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Note 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, financial results, or future performance. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect our business.
The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, our operations and supply chains, and we have experienced and expect to continue to experience unpredictable reductions in demand for certain of our products and services. If we do not successfully manage our supply chain or identify new sources of supplies, we may be unable to satisfy customer orders, which could harm our reputation and customer relationships and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. While COVID-19 has adversely affected each of our segments, the impact on our upstream and midstream energy markets has been particularly adverse, contributing to deteriorating prices of oil and natural gas, weakening demand, and reducing customer spending, and we expect this trend may continue. While the majority of our employees have generally been permitted to continue to work because our businesses are regarded as essential, U.S. and non-domestic governmental pandemic mitigation measures such as stay-at-home orders have slowed travel and movement of goods throughout the world, contributing to reduction in demand for our products and services. We expect that these adverse impacts could continue but we are unable to predict the extent, nature, or duration of these impacts on our results of operations and financial condition at this time.
