I am truly excited for the opportunity to
lead such a dynamic global company.
Since my transition into the role of 
President and CEO in July 2021, I 
have worked closely with our Board
of Directors and Executive Team on a
journey to move the enterprise toward
next-level performance and growth.
After being with the Company for 18
years, I had the opportunity to take a
step back and evaluate our business. It
became clear to me that the Company
needed to fundamentally transform, and
we established a strong move-forward
strategy.

Over the past year, we conducted a

a comprehensive growth strategy of 
scalable core businesses that have
headroom for expansion and provide
differentiated technology solutions
offerings that address the critical needs 
of our customers. We have already begun
to execute on this strategy and integrate 
more of our global engineering capabilities 
to provide opportunities to transform
L.B. Foster Company into a technology-
focused, high-growth global solutions 
provider of engineered, manufactured
products and services that builds and

supports critical infrastructure.

opportunities. It was both a
rewarding and humbling experience,
giving us the perspective to
(cid:87)(cid:74)(cid:1835)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:5)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:5)(cid:92)(cid:77)(cid:70)(cid:89)(cid:5)(cid:92)(cid:74)(cid:5)(cid:89)(cid:77)(cid:84)(cid:90)(cid:76)(cid:77)(cid:89)(cid:5)(cid:92)(cid:70)(cid:88)
adding value to shareholders and
customers and compare it to the
reality of our business. We gained
valuable insight and established
an actionable plan: a roadmap to
restructure the Company to drive
focused growth in core markets
backed by alignment across the
leadership and stakeholders of L.B.
Foster. As a result of our strategic
assessment, we are working toward
a transformation into a technology-
focused, high-growth infrastructure 
solutions provider.

An additional key outcome of 

this review was the creation of a
strategic playbook which includes
(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:78)(cid:1834)(cid:72)(cid:5)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:88)(cid:5)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:73)(cid:5)(cid:82)(cid:78)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:88)(cid:89)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:74)(cid:88)
that need to be achieved to drive
shareholder return and increase
overall stakeholder value. The
playbook began with segmenting
growth and returns businesses
(cid:92)(cid:78)(cid:89)(cid:77)(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:5)(cid:49)(cid:19)(cid:39)(cid:19)(cid:5)(cid:43)(cid:84)(cid:88)(cid:89)(cid:74)(cid:87)(cid:19)(cid:5)(cid:60)(cid:74)(cid:5)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:74)(cid:83)(cid:89)(cid:78)(cid:1834)(cid:74)(cid:73)(cid:5)
Precast Concrete and Rail
Technologies as priority growth
areas based upon their product
portfolios and unsaturated markets.
We also repositioned our leadership
team and introduced a new Chief 
(cid:44)(cid:87)(cid:84)(cid:92)(cid:89)(cid:77)(cid:5)(cid:52)(cid:75)(cid:1834)(cid:72)(cid:74)(cid:87)(cid:5)(cid:89)(cid:84)(cid:5)(cid:76)(cid:90)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:74)(cid:5)(cid:89)(cid:77)(cid:78)(cid:88)
initiative. 

The playbook also outlined the
need to divest in the Piling Business
which had become increasingly
commoditized and working capital-
intensive. We used the proceeds
of this divestiture to pay down our
revolving credit facility, which was
also amended during the year,
(cid:70)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:84)(cid:92)(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:76)(cid:5)(cid:75)(cid:84)(cid:87)(cid:5)(cid:1834)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:78)(cid:70)(cid:81)(cid:5)(cid:1835)(cid:74)(cid:93)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:78)(cid:81)(cid:78)(cid:89)(cid:94)

to pursue other strategic growth
opportunities as they may arise.

Alongside many worldwide 
industries, we were affected by
supply chain disruptions and
(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:1835)(cid:70)(cid:89)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:94)(cid:5)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:74)(cid:88)(cid:88)(cid:90)(cid:87)(cid:74)(cid:88)(cid:5)(cid:92)(cid:77)(cid:78)(cid:72)(cid:77)(cid:5)
ultimately adversely affected 
margins in 2021. While we expect
these conditions to persist into 2022,
we have initiated several mitigation
measures. We proactively reassess
opportunities to protect and grow
our margins, evaluate suppliers, and
make changes to our hiring efforts 
to minimize disruptions. 

Over the last 5 years, we have
faced many challenges but have
continued to build momentum 
towards transforming L.B. Foster
into a more technology-driven
and solutions-oriented company,
positioned to take advantage of 
the digital railroad and the need
for infrastructure modernization.
This momentum should translate

120

YEARS

FAMILY LEGACY

into improving future demands in
core markets, particularly in light
of newly introduced U.S. federal
infrastructure funding.

I want to close by expressing my
gratitude on several fronts. First, for
our team, the truly talented people
who work tirelessly through the
many ongoing issues we continue
to face today due to the global
pandemic: I couldn’t be more 
grateful. Our employees have been
persistent and motivated, driving
the business and focusing on the
exciting times ahead.

My thanks, as well, to our Board
of Directors for their wisdom,
guidance, and support throughout
the year. As many of you may know,
our Chairman of the Board, Lee B.
Foster II, will be retiring in June of 
this year after serving the Company
over the past 49 years. I, along
with my fellow Board Members, 
my Executive Team, and all our

employees across the globe, want
to express sincere gratitude for
Lee’s relentless vision that led him to
capture many growth opportunities
for L.B. Foster by continuously 
reinventing itself. His personal
integrity and commitment have set
an example for us all. We wish him
and his family all the best.

One such initiative is water
conservation. "We began in
May 2017 with the intention
of capturing storm water to
reduce municipal water usage
by 75%. Within two weeks,
hardware and valves were
purchased and installed on
existing building downpipes
and gutters, and 3,000 L of 
storm water were collected.
This meant that not only was
the original target met, but
dependence on municipal
water was eliminated, allowing
the plant to shut off municipal
water supply and operate using
storm water only."

Since implementation of this
initiative, the plant has saved 
over 13,000 L of processed
municipal water.

NON-GAAP  
DISCLOSURES

This report discloses adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations, 
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA from continuing 
operations, net debt, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that adjusted net income from continuing operations 
is useful to investors as a supplemental way to compare historical periods without regard to various charges that the Company believes are 
unusual, non-recurring, unpredictable, or non-cash. The Company believes that EBITDA from continuing operations is useful to investors as 
a supplemental way to evaluate the ongoing operations of the Company’s business since EBITDA may enhance investors’ ability to compare 
historical periods as it adjusts for the impact of financing methods, tax law and strategy changes, and depreciation and amortization. In 
addition, EBITDA is a financial measure that management and the Company’s Board of Directors use in their financial and operational decision-
making and in the determination of certain compensation programs. Adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted diluted
earnings per share from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations adjusts for certain charges to net income
from continuing operations and EBITDA from continuing operations that the Company believes are unusual, non-recurring, unpredictable, 
or non-cash. In 2021, the Company made adjustments for the divestiture of its steel Piling Products business. In 2020, the Company made
an adjustment for the impact of restructuring activities and site relocation, a non-recurring benefit from a distribution associated with the
Company's interest in an unconsolidated partnership, and an income tax benefit related to the 2020 divestiture of the IOS Test and Inspection
business. The Company believes the results from continuing operations adjusted to exclude the divested Piling and IOS Test and Inspection
businesses are useful to investors to evaluate the results of operations of the Company's ongoing and current business portfolio. The 
Company views net debt, which is total debt less cash and cash equivalents, as important metrics of the operational and financial health of the
organization that are useful to investors as indicators of our ability to incur additional debt and to service our existing debt.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP financial results and should only be considered in conjunction with the Company’s
financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP. Quantitative reconciliations of each of the non-GAAP measures described
above are presented below (in millions, except per share and ratio):

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.” Forward-looking statements 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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. The Company cautions readers that various factors could cause the actual
results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements. Accordingly,
investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Among
the factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements are risks and uncertainties related to: the COVID-19 pandemic, and any future global health crises, and
the related social, regulatory, and economic impacts and the response thereto by the Company, our employees, our
customers, and national, state, or local governments; volatility in the prices of oil and natural gas and the related
impact on the midstream energy markets, which could result in cost mitigation actions, including shutdowns or
furlough periods; a continuation or worsening of the adverse economic conditions in the markets we serve, whether
as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on labor markets, supply chains, and other
inflationary costs, travel and demand for oil and gas, the continued deterioration in the prices for oil and gas,
governmental travel restrictions, project delays, and budget shortfalls, or otherwise; volatility in the global capital
markets, including interest rate fluctuations, which could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets
on terms that are favorable to us; restrictions on our ability to draw on our credit agreement, including as a result
of any future inability to comply with restrictive covenants contained therein; a continuing decrease in freight or
transit rail traffic, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; environmental matters, including any costs
associated with any remediation and monitoring; the risk of doing business in international markets, including
foreign currency fluctuations and inflation, and trade
compliance with anti-corruption and bribery laws,
restrictions or embargoes; our ability to effectuate our strategy, including cost reduction initiatives, and our ability
to effectively integrate acquired businesses or to divest businesses, such as the recent dispositions of the Piling and
IOS Test and Inspection Services businesses and acquisition of the LarKen Precast business and to realize
anticipated benefits; costs of and impacts associated with shareholder activism; continued customer restrictions
regarding the on-site presence of third party providers due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the timeliness and
availability of materials from our major suppliers, including any continuation or worsening of the disruptions in the
supply chain experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact on our access to supplies of
customer preferences as to the origin of such supplies, such as customers’ concerns about conflict minerals; labor
disputes; cyber-security risks such as data security breaches, malware, ransomware, “hacking,” and identity theft,
which could disrupt our business and may result in misuse or misappropriation of confidential or proprietary
information, and could result in the disruption or damage to our systems, increased costs and losses, or an adverse
effect to our reputation; the continuing effective implementation of an enterprise resource planning system; changes
in current accounting estimates and their ultimate outcomes; the adequacy of internal and external sources of funds
to meet financing needs, including our ability to negotiate any additional necessary amendments to our credit
agreement or the terms of any new credit agreement, and reforms regarding the use of LIBOR as a benchmark for
establishing applicable interest rates; the Company’s ability to manage its working capital requirements and
indebtedness; domestic and international taxes, including estimates that may impact taxes; domestic and foreign
government regulations, including tariffs; economic conditions and regulatory changes caused by the United
Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; a lack of state or federal funding for new infrastructure projects; an

3

increase in manufacturing or material costs; the loss of future revenues from current customers; and risks inherent
in litigation and the outcome of litigation and product warranty claims. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect,
actual outcomes could vary materially from those indicated. Significant risks and uncertainties that may affect the
operations, performance, and results of the Company’s business and forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
and our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The forward-looking statements in this report are made as of the date of this report and we assume no
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future
developments, or otherwise, except as required by the federal securities laws.

operations at its newest facility located in Boise, ID, in the first quarter of 2020 following a move from a
previous location in Spokane, WA. This move is part of an initiative focusing on regional growth opportunities
and logistical savings associated with manufacturing products in a more centralized location closer to the
Company’s existing and prospective customer base.

Steel Products and Measurement

The Company’s Steel Products and Measurement segment provides custom engineered solutions and
services that help build and maintain critical civil and energy infrastructure throughout North and South America,

6

Central America, and the Caribbean. Steel Products and Measurement designs, manufactures, and supplies a
variety of steel bridge products to contractors performing installation and repair work to North American

plants, and loading/unloading facilities. The Willis, TX location also manufactures and installs additive and dye
injection systems. These systems are used to inject performance additives and/or dyes into petroleum products.

Marketing and Competition

L.B. Foster Company generally markets its Rail directly in all major industrial areas of the U.S., Canada,
and Europe. Precast and Steel Products and Measurement are primarily marketed domestically. The Company
employs a sales force of approximately 62 people that is supplemented with a network of agents across Europe,

7

South America, and Asia to reach current customers and cultivate potential customers in these areas. For the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 24% and 20% respectively, of the Company’s total
sales were outside the U.S.

The major markets for the Company’s products are highly competitive. Product availability, quality, service,
and price are principal factors of competition within each of these markets. No other company provides the same
product mix to the various markets the Company serves. However, there are one or more companies that compete
with the Company in each product line. Therefore, the Company faces significant competition from different
groups of companies.

Raw Materials and Supplies

The Company purchases a variety of raw materials from its supplier base including steel, aggregate, epoxy,
electronics, and components, from both domestic and foreign suppliers. Products are also purchased in the form
of finished or semi-finished products which the majority of it is supplied from domestic and foreign steel
producers. Generally, the Company has a number of vendor options.

The Company’s purchases from foreign suppliers are subject to foreign currency exchange rate changes and
the risks associated with changes in international conditions, as well as U.S. and international laws that could
impose import restrictions on selected classes of products and for anti-dumping duties if products are sold in the
U.S. at prices that are below specified prices.

Backlog

The Company’s backlog represents the sales price of customer purchase orders or contracts in 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 are rare. Backlog should not be considered a reliable indicator
of the Company’s ability to achieve any particular level of revenue or financial performance.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company owns a number of domestic and international patents and trademarks, primarily related to
products in its Global Friction Management and Technology Services and Solutions business units. The
Company’s business segments are not dependent upon any individual patents or related group of patents, nor any
individual licenses or distribution rights. The Company believes that, in the aggregate, the rights under its
patents, trademarks, and licenses are generally important to its operations, but considers neither any individual
patent, nor any licensing or distribution rights related to a specific process or product, to be of material
importance in relation to its total business.

Environmental Disclosures

Information regarding environmental matters is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data, Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form
10-K, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

Human Capital Management

People are the heart of L.B. Foster’s success. The Company strives to create and promote a culture that
makes L.B. Foster a great place to work. The Company seeks to attract and retain employees that embody and
demonstrate its values, which are summarized in our SPIRIT model, focusing on Safety, People, Integrity,
Respect, Innovation, and Teamwork. The Company uses these six principles to guide its employees every day.
The expectation of all employees, at every level of the organization, is to execute our business strategy in a
manner that adheres to these core values and demonstrates commitment to the L.B. Foster SPIRIT.

Diversity and Inclusion

The Company is dedicated to the principle of equal employment opportunity and the provision of a
workplace free from discrimination and harassment in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local

8

laws and regulations. This statement and accompanying practices, which pertain to all persons involved in
Company operations, prohibit unlawful discrimination by any employee and apply to all terms, conditions, and
privileges of employment. Additionally, the Company will also make reasonable accommodations for individuals
with known disabilities who are otherwise qualified to perform a job. The Company aims to employ and advance
in employment qualified women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, covered veterans, and other classes at
all
levels of employment. The Company has implemented initiatives to advance diversity and inclusion,
including changes to recruitment, onboarding, and employee training, and has developed the Spark initiative,
which is an employee resource group targeting all employees interested in furthering the mission of
empowerment and professional growth of women in the workplace.

Environmental, Social, and Governance Matters

As part of its ongoing commitment to good corporate stewardship, in 2022 the Company created a new full-
time role to focus on and enhance its sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”)
initiatives. The position is intended to enhance collaboration with the Board of Directors, senior leadership,
investors, employees, customers, and societal and civic organizations to integrate ESG policies, frameworks,
goals, and metrics into the Company’s business risk and opportunity strategies. The new role is expected to lead
cross-functional efforts to coordinate, execute, improve, and communicate the Company’s ESG efforts.

Health and Safety

L.B. Foster aims to promote a culture of environmental, health, safety, and sustainability (“EHSS”)
excellence that strives to protect the environment as well as the safety and health of our employees, business,
customers, and communities where we operate. The Company strives to meet or exceed the requirements of all
applicable environmental, health, and safety (“EHS”) regulations as the Company raises its standards of
excellence. Among its core values are safety, teamwork, and innovation, the Company aims to create more
in its EHSS
advanced solutions around sustainability. The Company emphasizes continual
performance, particularly as it applies to preventing pollution and reducing the environmental impact of its
operations while maximizing opportunities for environmental and social benefits. The Company continually
strives to develop best practices in EHS management based on international standards such as ISO 14001:2015
and ISO 45001:2018. The Company has 11 locations/businesses throughout North America and Europe that
Environmental Management Systems has independently assessed and are compliant with the requirements of ISO
14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018.

improvement

Leadership and Talent Management

The Company’s executive leadership team sets the Company’s strategic direction and is dedicated to
sustainable profitable growth through its commitment to providing quality products and services to its customers
and treating our customers, suppliers, and employees as partners. L.B. Foster cultivates and empowers talent
through performance management, career planning/development, and succession planning, creating an
environment for people to be successful in achieving our strategic plan through the following areas:

Talent Acquisition and Onboarding

The Company is committed to finding and hiring the best-qualified candidate (from within or outside of the
organization) for a job opening, in a timely and cost-effective manner. The recruitment process includes
analyzing the requirements of a job, meeting with hiring management to determine the appropriate qualifications
and experience for the position, attracting qualified candidates to that job, providing opportunities to advance
diversity in the workforce, screening and selecting applicants, hiring, and ultimately integrating the new
employee to the organization.

Development Planning

The proactive planning and implementation of action steps towards our employees’ career goals.

Developmental experiences can consist of training, developing, mentoring, and coaching.

9

Succession Planning

A process for identifying and developing employees with the potential to fill key business leadership
positions within the Company are key to future success. Succession planning increases the availability of
experienced and capable employees that are prepared to assume these critical roles as they become available.

Performance Management

An ongoing process of communication between a supervisor and an employee that occurs throughout the

year, in support of accomplishing the strategic objectives of the organization.

Workforce

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 991 employees, 721 located within the U.S., 72 within Canada,
and 192 in Europe. There were 422 hourly production workers and 569 salaried employees. Of the hourly
production workers, approximately 86 were represented by unions.

Three collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 21, 35, and 30 employees are scheduled to
expire in August 2024, March 2025, and September 2025, respectively. As a result of the Company’s relocation
of its concrete products operations from Spokane, WA to Boise, ID in 2020, a separation agreement was
executed with the collective bargaining unit representing the employees affected by this relocation. This
agreement had no impact on the employees under the same collective bargaining agreement at the concrete tie
operation that remained in Spokane, WA. During 2021, the Company renegotiated the collective bargaining
agreements at the concrete tie operation in Spokane, WA and bridge products operation in Bedford, PA. The
Company has not suffered any major work stoppages during the past five years and considers its relations with its
employees to be satisfactory.

All of the Company’s hourly and salaried employees are covered by one of its defined benefit plans or

defined contribution plans.

Code of Ethics

L.B. Foster Company has a legal and ethical conduct policy applicable to all directors and employees,
including its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer. This policy is
posted on the Company’s website, www.lbfoster.com. The Company intends to satisfy the disclosure requirement
regarding certain amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of its policy by posting such information on the
Company’s website. In addition, the Company’s ethics hotline can also be used by employees and others for the
anonymous communication of concerns about financial controls, human resource concerns, and other reporting
matters.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks and Uncertainties

We operate in a changing environment that involves numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties
that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The
following risk factors highlight what we believe to be the more material factors that have affected us and could
affect us in the future. We have grouped the risk factors into six categories for ease of reading, and without any
reflection on the importance of, or likelihood of, any particular category. We may also be affected by unknown
risks or risks that we currently believe are immaterial. If any one or more such events actually occur, our
business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. One should
carefully consider the following risk factors and other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
and any other risks discussed in our other periodic filings with the SEC before deciding to invest in our common
stock.

COVID-19 Risks

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

12

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. Though we have implemented safety measures and protocols in accordance with local
government orders, an outbreak of COVID-19 at any one of our facilities could result in production delays or
otherwise interrupt our operations. While COVID-19 has adversely affected each of the markets we serve, the
impact on the midstream energy markets has been particularly adverse, and has contributed to volatility in the
prices of oil and natural gas, weakened demand, and reduced customer spending. In the rail, transit, friction
management, and fabricated steel products businesses, governmental stay-at-home and work-from-home orders
both in the U.S. and globally, particularly in the U.K., have resulted in reduced traffic and demand for our
products and services, and many public works projects have been deferred or delayed as a result of governmental
pandemic mitigation efforts, adversely impacting our businesses. U.S. and non-domestic governmental and
private 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. Such measures have
also contributed to a tight labor market which in turn adversely impacts our supply chain. We expect that these
adverse impacts will continue but we are unable to predict the extent, nature, or duration of the impacts on our
results of operations and financial condition at this time.

Business and Operational Risks

Our inability to successfully manage acquisitions, divestitures, and other significant transactions could
harm our financial results, business, and prospects.

As part of our business strategy, we acquire or divest businesses or assets, enter into strategic alliances and
joint ventures, or make investments to realize anticipated benefits, actions which involve a number of inherent
risks and uncertainties. Material acquisitions, dispositions, and other strategic transactions involve numerous
risks, including, but not limited to:

‰ we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, or we may not be able to dispose of assets,

at prices we consider attractive;

‰ we may not be able to compete successfully for identified acquisition candidates, complete future acquis-

itions or accurately estimate the financial effect of acquisitions on our business;

‰ future acquisitions may require us to spend significant cash and incur additional debt, resulting in addi-

tional leverage;

‰ we may have difficulty retaining an acquired company’s key employees or clients;
‰ we may not be able to realize the operating efficiencies, synergies, costs savings, or other benefits

expected;

‰ we may have difficulty integrating acquired businesses, resulting in unforeseen difficulties, such as
incompatible accounting, information management or other control systems, or the need to significantly
update and improve the acquired business’s systems and internal controls;

‰ we may assume potential liabilities for actions of the target before the acquisition, including as a result of

a failure to comply with applicable laws;

‰ we may be subject to material indemnification obligations related to any assets that we dispose;
‰ acquisitions or dispositions may disrupt our business or divert our management

from other

responsibilities; and

‰ as a result of an acquisition, we may need to record write-downs from future impairments of intangible

assets, which could reduce our future reported earnings.

If these factors limit our ability to integrate the operations of our acquisitions or to execute other strategic
transactions successfully or on a timely basis, we may not meet our expectations for future results of operations.

13

In addition, our growth and operating strategies for businesses we acquire may be different from the strategies
that such target businesses currently are pursuing. If our strategies are not the proper strategies for a company we
acquire or with which we partner, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
results of operations. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or enhance the
profitability of any acquired business or consolidate the operations of any acquired business to achieve cost
savings.

In addition, there may be liabilities that we fail, or are unable, to discover in the course of performing due
diligence investigations on each company or business that we have already acquired or disposed of or may
acquire or dispose of in the future. Such liabilities could include those arising from employee benefits
contribution obligations of a prior owner or non-compliance with, or liability pursuant to, applicable federal,
state, or local environmental requirements by us or by prior owners for which we, as a successor or predecessor
owner, may be responsible. In addition, there may be additional costs relating to acquisitions and dispositions
including, but not limited to, possible purchase price adjustments. There can be no assurance that rights to
indemnification by sellers of assets to us, even if obtained, will be enforceable, collectible or sufficient in
amount, scope or duration to fully offset the possible liabilities associated with the business or property acquired.
Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We
can give no assurances that the opportunities will be consummated or that financing will be available. We may
not be able to achieve the synergies and other benefits we expect from strategic transactions as successfully or as
rapidly as projected, if at all.

Prolonged negative economic conditions, volatile energy prices, and other unfavorable changes in U.S.,
global, or regional economic and market conditions could adversely affect our business.

We could be adversely impacted by prolonged negative economic conditions affecting either our suppliers
or customers, as well as the capital markets. Negative changes in government spending may result in delayed or
permanent deferrals of existing or potential projects. No assurances can be given that we will be able to
successfully mitigate various prolonged uncertainties, including materials cost variability, delayed or reduced
customer orders and payments, and access to available capital resources outside of operations.

In addition, volatile market conditions and depressed energy prices could continue for an extended period,
which would negatively affect our business prospects and reduce profitability. Historically, oil and natural gas
prices have been volatile and are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market
uncertainty, a trend toward renewable or alternative energy resources, and a variety of additional factors that are
beyond our control. Sustained declines or significant and frequent fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas
may have a material and adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

Our ability to maintain or improve our profitability could be adversely impacted by cost pressures.

Our profitability is dependent upon the efficient use of our resources. Rising inflation, labor costs, labor
disruptions, and other increases in costs due to tariffs or other reasons in the geographic areas in which we
operate could have a significant adverse impact on our profitability and results of operations. During 2021, the
Company experienced increased costs in labor and materials as a result of the inflationary environment,
competitive labor market, and supply chain constraints which adversely impacted the Company’s profitability.
We expect that these adverse impacts will continue but we are unable to predict the extent, nature, or duration of
the impacts on our results of operations and financial condition at this time.

Our success is in part dependent on the accuracy and proper utilization of our management information
and communications systems.

We are currently working through an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system transition. Certain
divisions of our Company migrated into the new ERP system during 2016, additional divisions have since
migrated, including during 2021, and certain other divisions may be transitioned during 2022 and in subsequent
years. We also began the implementation of a global financial planning and consolidation system during 2021
that will be operational in 2022. The system implementations are intended to enable us to better meet the
information requirements of our users, increase our integration efficiencies, and identify additional synergies in
the future. The implementation of our ERP system is complex because of the wide range of processes and

14

systems to be integrated across our business. Any disruptions, delays, or deficiencies in the design, operation, or
implementation of our various systems, or in the performance of our systems, particularly any disruptions,
delays, or deficiencies that impact our operations, could adversely affect our ability to effectively run and
manage our business, including our ability to receive, process, ship, and bill for orders in a timely manner or our
ability to properly manage our inventory or accurately present our inventory availability or pricing. Project
delays, business interruptions, or loss of expected benefits could have a material and adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We are subject to cybersecurity risks and may incur increasing costs in an effort to minimize those risks.

job applicants, and other parties,

information regarding our customers, employees,

Our business employs systems and websites that allow for the storage and transmission of proprietary or
confidential
including
financial information, intellectual property, and personal identification information. Security breaches and other
disruptions could compromise our information, expose us to liability, and harm our reputation and business. In
October 2020, we experienced a cyber-attack on our information technology systems. While the cyber-attack
caused temporary disruption and interference with our operations, it did not and will not result in a material
adverse effect on our business operations. Despite the steps we take to deter and mitigate cybersecurity risks, we
may not be successful. We may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent current
or rapidly evolving types of cyber-attacks including data and security breaches, malware, ransomware, hacking,
and identity theft. Data and security breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical issues, including an
intentional or inadvertent breach by our employees or by persons with whom we have commercial relationships.
Federal, state, and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering the adoption of laws
and regulations regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information obtained from customers
and individuals. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, such data privacy laws and
regulations, including those of the European Union (“E.U.”) and the U.K. which are, in some respects, more
stringent than U.S. standards, could be significant. Any compromise or breach of our security, including from the
cyber-attack that we experienced or any future attack, could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other
laws, legal and financial exposure, negative impacts on our customers’ willingness to transact business with us,
and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations
and our reputation.

Certain divisions of our business depend on a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such supplier
could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and result of operations.

In our Rail Products business unit, we rely on a limited number of suppliers for key products that we sell to
our customers. Our Protective Coatings division is predominately dependent on two suppliers of epoxy coating.
A significant downturn in the business of one or more of these suppliers, a disruption in their manufacturing
operations, an unwillingness to continue to sell to us, or a disruption in the availability of rail or coating products
and services may adversely impact our financial results.

Fluctuations in the price, quality, and availability of the primary raw materials used in our business could
have a material and adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

Many of our businesses utilize steel as a significant product component. The steel industry is cyclical and
prices and availability are subject to these cycles, as well as to international market forces. We also use
significant amounts of cement and aggregate in our precast products and ties offerings. Our technology based
solutions and services are dependent on electronic components and the ability to source these items. During
2021, the Company experienced increasing costs of sources materials due to supply chain constraints and
inflationary environment. No assurances can be given that our financial results would not be adversely affected if
prices or availability of these materials were to change in a significantly unfavorable manner.

Labor disputes may have a material and adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

Three of our manufacturing facilities are staffed by employees represented by labor unions. Approximately
86 employees employed at these facilities are currently working under three separate collective bargaining

15

agreements. Disputes with regard to the terms of these agreements or our potential inability to renegotiate
acceptable contracts with these unions could result in, among other things, strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns,
or lockouts, which could cause a disruption of our operations and have a material and adverse effect on our
results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

Actions of activist shareholders could be disruptive and potentially costly and the possibility that activist
shareholders may seek changes that conflict with our strategic direction could cause uncertainty about the
strategic direction of our business.

Activist investors may attempt to effect changes in the Company’s strategic direction and how the Company
is governed, or to acquire control over the Company. Some investors seek to increase short-term shareholder
value by advocating corporate actions, such as financial restructuring, increased borrowing, special dividends,
stock repurchases, or even sales of assets or the entire company. While the Company welcomes varying opinions
from all shareholders, activist campaigns that contest or conflict with our strategic direction could have an
adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, as responding to proxy contests
and other actions by activist shareholders can disrupt our operations, be costly and time-consuming, and divert
the attention of the Company’s board and senior management from the pursuit of business strategies. In addition,
perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of changes to the composition of our Board may lead
to the perception of a change in the direction of the business, instability or lack of continuity, which may be
exploited by our competitors, may cause concern to our current or potential customers, may result in the loss of
potential business opportunities and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and
business partners. These types of actions could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on
temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying
fundamentals and prospects of our business.

Our success is highly dependent on the continued service and availability of qualified personnel.

Much of our future success depends on the continued availability and service of key personnel, including
our Chief Executive Officer, the executive team, and other highly skilled employees. As a result of the pandemic,
the Company is experiencing a tight labor market which has constricted the labor pool and driven up labor costs
as we compete for talent. Changes in demographics, training requirements, and the availability of qualified
personnel could negatively affect our ability to compete and lead to a reduction in our profitability.

We may not foresee or be able to control certain events that could adversely affect our business.

Unexpected events, including fires or explosions at our facilities, natural disasters, such as hurricanes,
flooding, and winter storms causing power failures or travel restrictions with respect to our operations, armed
conflicts, terrorism, health epidemics or pandemics, such as COVID-19, and related restrictions on travel,
economic or political uncertainties or instability, civil unrest, strikes, unplanned outages, equipment failures,
failure to meet product specifications, or disruptions in certain areas of our operations, may cause our operating
costs to increase or otherwise negatively impact our financial performance.

Competitive Risks

Our business operates in highly competitive markets and a failure to react to changing market conditions
could adversely impact our business.

We face strong competition in each of the markets in which we operate. A slow response to competitor
pricing actions and new competitor entries into our product lines could negatively impact our overall pricing.
Efforts to improve pricing could negatively impact our sales volume in all product categories. We may be
required to invest more heavily to maintain and expand our product offerings. There can be no assurance that
new product offerings will be widely accepted in the markets we serve. Significant negative developments in any
of these areas could adversely affect our financial results and condition.

16

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and prevent its improper use by third parties, our ability
to compete may be harmed.

We possess intellectual property including proprietary rail product formulations and systems and component
designs, and we own a number of patents and trademarks under the intellectual property laws of the U.S.,
Canada, Europe, and other countries in which product sales are possible. While we have not perfected patent and
trademark protection of our proprietary intellectual property for all products in all countries, we periodically
assess our portfolio to determine the need for pursuing further protection. The decision not to obtain patent and
trademark protection in additional countries may result in other companies copying and marketing products that
are based upon our proprietary intellectual property. This could impede growth into new markets where we do
not have such protections and result in a greater supply of similar products in such markets, which in turn could
result in a loss of pricing power and reduced revenue. In some cases, we may decide that the best way to protect
our intellectual property is to retain proprietary information as trade secrets and confidential information rather
than to apply for patents, which would involve disclosure of proprietary information to the public. Any
misappropriation or reverse engineering of our trade secrets could result in competitive harm and may result in
costly and time-consuming litigation. If any of these events should occur, it could materially adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition.

We are dependent upon key customers.

We could be adversely affected by changes in the business or financial condition of a customer or
customers. A prolonged decrease in capital spending by our rail customers or decline in sales orders from other
customers could negatively impact our sales and profitability. No assurances can be given that a significant
downturn in the business or financial condition of a current customer, or customers, or potential litigation with a
current customer, would not also impact our future results of operations and/or financial condition.

Financial Risks

Our future performance and market value could cause write-downs of long-lived and intangible assets in
future periods.

We are required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to review intangible and long-lived
assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. In addition, goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. Factors that may
cause the carrying value of our intangible and long-lived assets to not be recoverable include, but are not limited
to, a decline in stock price and resulting market capitalization, a significant decrease in the market value of an
asset, or a significant decrease in operating or cash flow projections. No impairments of goodwill or intangible
assets were recorded in 2021 and 2020. Impairment charges were recorded on long-lived assets related to the
since divested IOS Test and Inspection Services business during 2020.

No assurances can be given that we will not be required to record future significant charges related to

tangible or intangible asset impairments.

Our indebtedness could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of
operations and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations.

Our indebtedness could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of

operations. For example, it could:

‰ require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows to service our indebtedness, which would
reduce the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, expansion efforts,
or other general corporate purposes;

‰ limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we

operate;

‰ place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

17

‰ limit, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures,

acquisitions, or other general corporate purposes.

Our inability to comply with covenants in place or our inability to make the required principal and interest
payments may cause an event of default, which could have a substantial adverse impact to our business, financial
condition, and results of operations. There is no assurance that refinancing or asset dispositions could be effected
on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms,
if at all, particularly if credit market conditions deteriorate.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that refinancing or asset dispositions would be permitted by the terms of
instruments. Our existing credit agreements contain, and any future debt
our credit agreements or debt
agreements we may enter into may contain, certain financial tests and other covenants that limit our ability to
incur indebtedness, acquire other businesses, and any such future debt agreements may impose various other
restrictions. Our ability to comply with financial tests may be adversely affected by changes in economic or
business conditions beyond our control, and these covenants may limit our ability to take advantage of potential
business opportunities as they arise. We cannot be certain that we will be able to comply with the financial tests
and other covenants, or, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers or amended terms from our
lenders. An uncured default with respect to one or more of the covenants could result in the amounts outstanding
being declared immediately due and payable, which may also trigger an obligation to redeem our outstanding
debt securities and repay all other outstanding indebtedness. Any such acceleration of our indebtedness would
have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Certain portions of our variable rate debt, including our revolving credit facility, use LIBOR as a benchmark
for establishing the interest rate. The consequences of this and other developments with respect to LIBOR cannot
be entirely predicted but may result in an increase in the interest cost of our variable rate debt.

Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liability could impact our profitability and
management projections, estimates, and judgments, particularly with respect to reserves for litigation,
deferred tax assets, and the fair market value of certain assets and liabilities, may be inaccurate and not be
indicative of our future performance.

Our management team is required to use certain estimates in preparing our financial statements, including
accounting estimates to determine reserves related to litigation, deferred tax assets, and the fair market value of
certain assets and liabilities. Certain asset and liability valuations are subject to management’s judgment and
actual results are influenced by factors outside our control.

We are required to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and record a charge to income if
we determine, based on evidence available at the time the determination is made, that it is more likely than not
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This evaluation process involves significant
management judgment about assumptions that are subject to change from period to period. The use of different
estimates can result in changes in the amount of deferred taxes recognized, which can result in earnings volatility
because such changes are reported in current period earnings. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data, Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in this Annual Report on Form
10-K, for additional discussion of our deferred taxes.

Legal, Tax, and Regulatory Risks

An adverse outcome in any pending or future litigation or pending or future warranty claims against the
Company or its subsidiaries or our determination that a customer has a substantial product warranty claim
could negatively impact our financial results and/or our financial condition.

We are party to various legal proceedings. In addition, from time to time our customers assert claims against
us relating to the warranties which apply to products we have sold. There is the potential that an outcome adverse
to us or our subsidiaries in pending or future legal proceedings or pending or future product warranty claims
could materially exceed any accruals we have established and adversely affect our financial results and/or
financial condition. In addition, we could suffer a significant loss of business from a customer who is dissatisfied
with the resolution of a warranty claim.

18

Violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-corruption laws and other
foreign governmental regulations, could result in fines, penalties, and criminal sanctions against the
Company, its officers, or both and could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other similar worldwide anti-corruption laws, such as the U.K.
Bribery Act, prohibit improper payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Although we have
established an internal control structure, corporate policies, compliance, and training processes to reduce the risk
of violation, we cannot ensure that these procedures protect us from violations of such policies by our employees
or agents. Failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations could subject us to fines, penalties, and
suspension or debarment from contracting. Events of non-compliance could harm our reputation, reduce our
revenues and profits, and subject us to criminal and civil enforcement actions. Violations of such laws or
allegations of violation could disrupt our business and result in material adverse results to our operating results or
future profitability.

Our foreign operations are subject to governmental regulations in the countries in which we operate, as well
as U.S. laws. These regulations include those related to currency conversion, repatriation of earnings, taxation of
our earnings and the earnings of our personnel, and the increasing requirement in some countries to make greater
use of local employees and suppliers, including, in some jurisdictions, mandates that provide for greater local
participation in the ownership and control of certain local business assets.

Shifting federal, state, local, and foreign regulatory policies impose risks to our operations.

We are subject to regulation by federal, state, local, and foreign regulatory agencies and are therefore
subject to a variety of legal proceedings and compliance risks, including those described in Item 3 — Legal
Proceedings and in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 18 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Like other companies engaged in
environmentally sensitive businesses, we are required to comply with numerous laws and regulations, including
environmental matters relating to, among other things,
the treatment, disposal, and storage of wastes,
investigation and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, the discharge of effluent into waterways,
and the emissions of substances into the air. We are required to obtain various authorizations, permits, approvals,
to
and certificates from governmental agencies. The Company could be subject
remediation of past contamination in the operation of some of its current and former facilities and remediation of
contamination by former owners or operators of the Company’s current or former facilities. Compliance with
emerging regulatory initiatives, delays, discontinuations, or reversals of existing regulatory policies in the
markets in which we operate, including costs associated with any required environmental remediation and
monitoring, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial
condition.

to liability with respect

A substantial portion of our operations is heavily dependent on governmental funding of infrastructure
projects. Many of these projects have “Buy America” or “Buy American” provisions. Significant changes in the
level of government funding of these projects could have a favorable or unfavorable impact on our operating
results. Additionally, government actions concerning “Buy America” provisions,
the
environment, or other matters could impact our operating results.

taxation,

tariffs,

Government actions in the U.S. or other countries where we have a higher concentration of business may
change tax policy, trade policy, or enact other legislation that could create an unfavorable environment for the
Company, making it more difficult to compete or adversely impact our operating results.

The United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (“USMCA”) and certain other international trade
agreements could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

On July 1, 2020, the USMCA became effective, replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement. It is
uncertain how the USMCA will impact foreign trade and our international operations. However, given the
amount of North American trade that moves by truck and rail, it could have a significant impact on supply and
demand for the raw materials that we use in manufacturing processes and for finished goods in the markets we
serve, and could adversely impact the amount, movement, and patterns of products that we ship. Potential

19

material modifications to USMCA, or certain other international trade agreements, including with respect to the
modification of trade agreements with or among the E.U. and the U.K., may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and results of operations.

International Risks

A portion of our sales are derived from our international operations, which expose us to certain risks
inherent in doing business on an international level.

Doing business outside the U.S. subjects the Company to various risks, including changing economic and
political conditions, work stoppages, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, armed conflicts, and unexpected
changes in U.S. and foreign laws relating to tariffs,
transportation regulations, foreign
investments, and taxation. Increasing sales to foreign countries, including Canada, China, India, Mexico, the
U.K., and countries within the E.U., expose the Company to increased risk of loss from foreign currency
fluctuations and exchange controls as well as longer accounts receivable payment cycles. We have little control
over most of these risks and may be unable to anticipate changes in international economic and political
conditions and, therefore, be unable to alter our business practices in time to avoid the adverse effect of any of
these possible changes.

trade restrictions,

Changes in exchange rates for foreign currencies may reduce international demand for our products or
increase our labor or supply costs in non-U.S. markets. Fluctuations in the relative values of the U.S. dollar,
Canadian dollar, British pound, and Euro may result in volatile earnings that reflect exchange rate translation in
our Canadian and European sales and operations. If the U.S. dollar strengthens in value as compared to the value
of the Canadian dollar, British pound, or Euro, our reported earnings in dollars from sales in those currencies will
be unfavorable. Conversely, a favorable result will be reported if the U.S. dollar weakens in value as compared to
the value of the Canadian dollar, British pound, or Euro.

Economic conditions and regulatory changes caused by the United Kingdom’s exit from the European
Union could adversely affect our business.

Pursuant to a June 2016 referendum, the U.K. left the E.U. on January 31, 2020, commonly referred to as
that expired on
“Brexit.” The U.K. government and the E.U. operated under a transitional arrangement
December 31, 2020. The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement was agreed in principle and became
provisionally operative on January 1, 2021 and terms of this new relationship between the U.K. and the E.U.
remains subject to uncertainties. There has been volatility in currency exchange rate fluctuations between the
U.S. dollar relative to the British pound, which could continue. The withdrawal of the U.K. from the E.U. has
also created market volatility and could continue to contribute to instability in global financial and foreign
exchange markets, political institutions, and regulatory agencies as negotiations of trade deals between the U.K.
and the E.U., and also between the U.K. and other countries, possibly including the U.S., occur during the near
future. Brexit is an unprecedented event, and, accordingly, it is unclear what long-term economic, financial,
trade, and legal effects will result.

The majority of our U.K. operations are heavily concentrated within the U.K. borders; however, this could
adversely affect the future growth of our U.K. operations into other European locations. Our U.K. operations
represented approximately 11% and 9% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 less than 1% of our consolidated net revenue
was from the U.K. operation’s sales exported to E.U. members.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

to the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan,

Under the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan, since May 2018, at each annual meeting of shareholders, where
non-employee directors were elected or reelected, as part of their compensation, the non-employee members of
the Board of Directors (“Board”) have received annual awards of forfeitable restricted shares subject to a
one-year vesting requirement. Prior to that date, such directors received fully-vested shares. During 2021,
pursuant
the Company issued approximately 35,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock for the annual non-employee director equity award, which shares vest on the one-year
anniversary of the date of grant. Commencing in 2020 and ending in December 2021, in addition to the annual
restricted stock award, those non-employee directors serving on the Board Strategy Committee have been
awarded restricted shares on an annual basis subject to a one-year vesting requirement. During 2021, there were
no non-employee directors who elected the option to receive fully-vested shares of the Company’s common stock
in lieu of director cash compensation. Through December 31, 2021, there were approximately 254,000 fully
vested shares issued under the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan to non-employee directors. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2017, the Nomination and Governance Committee and Board of Directors jointly approved the Deferred
Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors under the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which permits
non-employee directors of the Company to defer receipt of earned cash and/or stock compensation for service on
the Board. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 75,000 deferred share units were allotted to the accounts of
non-employee directors pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

The Company grants eligible employees restricted stock and performance unit awards under the 2006
Incentive Omnibus Plan. The forfeitable restricted stock awards generally time-vest ratably over a three-year
period, unless indicated otherwise in the underlying restricted stock award agreement. Performance unit awards
are offered annually under separate three-year long-term incentive programs. Performance 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.

Since 2017, the Company has withheld shares of restricted stock for satisfaction of tax withholding
obligations. During 2021 and 2020, the Company withheld 45,288 and 95,285 shares, respectively, for this
purpose. The values of the shares withheld were $732 and $1,665 in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Executive Level Overview

2021 Developments and 2022 Outlook

During 2021, the Company:
‰ Produced net sales of $513,620, an increase of $16,209, or 3.3%, over 2020;
‰ Generated net income from continuing operations of $3,471, or $0.33 per diluted share;

income) of $18,692;

‰ Reduced the outstanding balance on its credit facility by $13,735, or 30.5%, to $31,251, resulting in net

debt(a) of $20,879;

‰ Amended its credit agreement, resulting in an increase in the maximum capacity of its revolver from

$115,000 to $130,000, improved pricing, and a more accommodating covenant package;

refreshed enterprise strategy designed to leverage its growth and returns business platforms.

(a)

The following tables display reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. EBITDA
is a financial metric utilized by management to evaluate the Company’s performance on a comparable basis. The Company believes that
EBITDA is useful to investors as a supplemental way to evaluate the ongoing operations of the Company’s business as EBITDA enhan-
ces investors’ ability to compare historical periods as it adjusts for the impact of financing methods, tax law and strategy changes, and

23

depreciation and amortization. In addition, EBITDA is a financial measurement that management and the Company’s Board of Direc-
tors use in their financial and operational decision-making and in the determination of certain compensation programs. Adjusted
EBITDA includes certain adjustments to EBITDA. In 2021, the Company made adjustments to exclude the gain on the sale of the Piling
Products division. In 2020, the Company made adjustments to exclude the impact of relocation and restructuring costs and the proceeds
from an unconsolidated partnership.. The Company views net debt, which is total debt less cash and cash equivalents, as an important
metric of the operational and financial health of the organization and useful to investors as an indicator of our ability to incur additional
debt and to service our existing debt. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP financial results and should only be
considered in conjunction with the Company’s financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP. Quantitative
reconciliations of EBITDA and debt to the non-GAAP financial measures are presented below.

December 31,
2020

On September 24, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Piling Products division for $23,902 in total
expected proceeds, $1,195 of which is expected to be collected in 2022. The Company retained all pre-closing
receivables and liabilities associated with the division. The sale included substantially all inventory held by the
Company associated with the division, as well as the related fixed assets. The Piling Products division was
included in the Fabricated Steel Products business unit within the Steel Products and Measurement segment. The
Piling Products division revenues were $60,819 and $59,139 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.

Net sales for 2021 were $513,620, a $16,209 increase, or 3.3%, compared to the prior year. The sales
increase was attributable to the Company’s Rail and Precast segments, which increased by 8.4% and 12.1%,
respectively, over the prior year. The $23,302 increase in Rail was attributable to increases in Rail Products,
Global Friction Management, and Technology Services and Solutions. The $7,676 increase in the Precast
segment was attributable to increases in precast building revenue in its Boise, ID facility. Partially offsetting
these increases, was a $14,769 decline in Steel Products and Measurement sales, which continues to face a
challenging environment in the midstream energy market due to excess infrastructure pipeline capacity.

Gross profit for 2021 was $86,302, an $8,704 decrease, or 9.2%, from the prior year. The 16.8%
consolidated gross profit margin decreased by 230 basis points when compared to the prior year. All three
segments experienced declining gross profit margin versus last year. Gross profit increased in the Rail segment
by $1,986, driven by the $23,302 increase in revenues. However, Rail gross profit margins declined 90 basis
points due primarily attributable to raw material, labor, and production cost inflation, coupled with labor and

24

supply chain disruptions impacting manufacturing and fulfillment of orders. This impact was most pronounced in
the Rail Products business unit. Slightly lower margins in Global Friction Management were offset by slightly
higher margins in Technology Services and Solutions. The Precast segment gross profit increased $1,096, or
9.6%, driven by the increased sales volume. Precast segment gross profit margin was reduced by 40 basis points
due to raw material and labor inflation and disruption, coupled with a shortage of engineering services to support
production design certifications. In the Steel Products and Measurement segment, gross profit declined from the
prior year by $11,786, primarily driven by the decrease in revenues in the Coatings and Measurement business
unit, which resulted from lower pipeline and measurement demand in the midstream energy market. Steel
Products and Measurement gross profit margin was down 640 basis points compared to the prior year.

Selling and administrative expenses in 2021 increased by $2,351, or 3.2%, from the prior year, primarily
driven by increases in personnel related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, as well as costs
associated with the Company’s strategic initiatives. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales
were flat compared to the prior year at 14.8% .

Net income from continuing operations for 2021 was $3,471, or $0.33 per diluted share, a reduction of
$22,352, or $2.09 per diluted share, from the prior year. The current year was favorably impacted by a gain of
$2,046, net of tax, on the sale of the Piling Products division. The prior year was favorably impacted by a
non-recurring income tax benefit of $15,840 resulting from the sale of the IOS Test and Inspection Services
business in September 2020.

The Company’s consolidated backlog(b) was $210,189 as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of $38,043, or
15.3%, from the prior year. The divestiture of the Piling Products business unit during 2021 resulted in a $32,042
decline in backlog versus last year. This backlog decline was partially offset by a $22,846 increase in the Precast
segment, which continues to benefit from infrastructure investment and government-funded programs to rebuild
national parks. The current inflationary cost environment, including labor rates, is expected to continue to put
pressure on margins across our businesses. Actions to mitigate these impacts as much as possible are ongoing. In
addition, the Company continues to take proactive steps to manage disruptions in raw materials, labor, supply
chain, service partner, and other lingering COVID-19 related effects in an attempt to mitigate their adverse
impact as much as possible. The Coatings and Measurement business unit continues to be affected by the
ongoing depressed level of infrastructure investment in the midstream pipeline markets despite rising energy
prices. Certain areas of this business have experienced some modest improvement. However, demand levels
remain depressed compared to historical levels as pipeline projects continue to be deferred, and the outlook for
this business unit remains weak for the foreseeable future. The Company will continue to adjust the cost structure
of this business as appropriate to mitigate these negative market conditions as much as possible. While the Rail
segment’s backlog declined year-over-year by $24,658 driven by the Rail Products business unit, freight rail
activity and global transit ridership levels have improved, albeit well below pre-pandemic levels. With the
federal infrastructure support programs announced in 2020 and 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 government-subsidized investment expected. While the challenging operating
environment is expected to improve in 2022, it could persist throughout 2022 and possibly longer. Despite these
potential short-term challenges, 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. Additionally, with the proceeds from the Piling business divestiture coupled with
the additional flexibility and capacity resulting from the amendment and extension of our credit agreement in
August 2021, the Company believes that it has significant capacity to pursue organic and acquisitive growth
opportunities in 2022 and beyond.

(b)

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, includ-
ing 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 oper-
ations 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

25

financial performance. The Company defines its book-to-bill ratio as new orders divided by revenue. Management uses the book-to-bill
key performance indicator as a monitoring metric for the levels of backlog a business unit is building (greater than 1.0) or consuming
(less than 1.0), which may provide management and investors an indication of current market activity.

Fiscal 2021 Compared to Fiscal 2020 — Company Analysis

Net sales of $513,620 for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $16,209, or 3.3%, compared to
the prior year. Both the Rail and Precast segments contributed to the increase, with increases over the prior year
of 8.4% and 12.1%, respectively. The sales increase was partially offset by a decline in the Steel Products and
Measurement segment of 9.4%, which was primarily attributable to the circumstances around the COVID-19
pandemic, resulting in reduced demand most severely impacting the Coatings and Measurement business unit,
which principally serves the midstream energy market, within the Steel Products and Measurement segment.

26

Gross profit decreased by $8,704 from the prior year to $86,302 for 2021. This decrease was attributable to
the Steel Products and Measurement segment, which decreased by $11,786 from the prior year. Along with the
decrease in gross profit, gross profit margin for 2021 was 16.8%, or 230 basis points lower than the prior year.
The decrease in the current year margin was experienced in each of the three segments, which was primarily
impacted by decreased sales volume within the Coatings and Measurement business unit, as well as raw material
and labor inflation coupled with supply chain and manufacturing disruptions which impacted production and
order fulfillment.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $2,351, or 3.2%, over the prior year. The increase was
primarily attributable to increases in personnel related expenses of $1,424 from the prior year, including an $809
increase in stock-based compensation expense, and an increase in third-party supplies and services of $1,135
compared to the prior year, largely related to the Company’s strategic assessment. As a result of the increased
sales levels in 2021, selling and administrative expenses remained flat at 14.8% as a percentage of net sales as
compared to the prior year.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded pretax income of $2,741 from the gain on
sale of the Piling Products division. In the prior year, the Company recorded $673 in expense related to
relocation and closure activities and income of $1,874 from an unconsolidated partnership distribution, all of
which were recorded in “Other income — net.” Interest expense, net of interest income, for the year ended
December 31, 2021 was reduced by $805 as a result of the $13,773 reduction in outstanding debt and favorable
terms under the August 2021 credit agreement.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for 2021 was 24.4%, compared to (84.7)% in the prior year
period. The Company’s income tax expense from continuing operations for 2021 included an income tax benefit
of $2,130, net of valuation allowance, related to the disposition of the Test and Inspection Services business in
addition to the income tax benefit of $15,840, net of valuation allowance, that was recorded in 2020. During
2021, the Company increased its valuation allowance provided against state deferred tax assets by $1,807, net of
federal benefit, primarily related to forecasted expiration of state operating loss carryforwards. The positive
evidence considered in evaluating U.S. deferred tax assets included cumulative financial income over the three-
year period ended December 31, 2021, as well as the composition and reversal patterns of existing taxable and
deductible temporary differences between financial reporting and tax. Based on our evaluation, the Company
believed it was appropriate to rely on forecasted future taxable income to support its U.S. deferred tax assets. The
amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable, however, could be adjusted in the future if negative
evidence outweighs additional subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

Net income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $3,471, or $0.33 per
diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations for the 2020 period of $25,823, or $2.42 per
diluted share.

Rail, Technologies, and Services segment sales increased by $23,302, or 8.4%, compared to the prior year.
The sales increase was driven primarily by our Rail Products business unit, with year-over-year growth of
$12,256, or 6.6% . The Global Friction Management and Technology Services and Solutions business units

27

realized sales increases of $4,255, or 9.4%, and $6,791, or 15.2%, respectively. The sales volume increase was
primarily driven by rises in demand due to more favorable market conditions in 2021 versus 2020, as the
pandemic’s impact on freight, transit, and rail infrastructure project activity began to modestly improve.

Segment gross profit increased by $1,986, or 3.6%, which was driven by sales volume and improving
demand in Global Friction Management and Technology Services and Solutions. Partially offsetting the increase
were lower margins realized in Rail Products due to higher manufacturing input costs and supply chain
disruptions. The Rail segment gross profit margin decreased by 90 basis points from the prior year due to the
lower gross profit margins realized in Rail Products. The Rail segment profit for 2021 was $14,165, a segment
profit margin of 4.7%, compared to $13,185, and a margin of 4.8% for 2020.

During 2021, the new orders within the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment decreased by 5.6%
compared to the prior year. The decline in new orders was attributable to the Rail Products business unit, which
was primarily related to declines in order activity for transit projects and concrete ties. Segment backlog
decreased by 20.3% compared to the prior year, ending 2021 at $96,573.

The Precast Concrete Product segment sales increased by $7,676, or 12.1%, compared to the prior year,
which was attributable to increased precast building sales in its Boise, ID facility, which experienced down time
and a protracted operational startup in the prior year as a result of the facility relocation.

The Precast Concrete Products segment gross profit increased by $1,096, or 9.6%, compared to the prior
year. The gross profit increase was primarily due to increased sales volume within the segment. The gross profit
margin declined 40 basis points to 17.6%, which resulted from inflationary raw material costs and, to a lesser
extent, manufacturing inefficiencies. The segment profit of $1,545 increased by $979 compared to the prior year
to 2.2% of net sales. The prior year was impacted by the manufacturing facility relocation to Boise, ID, which
resulted in down time and then a protracted startup of operations.

For 2021, the Precast Concrete Products segment had a 26.4% increase in new orders compared to the prior
year period. This increase was primarily attributable to increased demand in both the south and northwest U.S.
sales regions. The segment’s backlog as of December 31, 2021 was $68,636, a 49.9% increase compared to the
prior year end.

Steel Products and Measurement

On September 24, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Piling Products division for $23,902 in total
expected proceeds. The Company retained all pre-closing receivables and liabilities associated with the division.
The sale included substantially all inventory held by the Company associated with the division, as well as the
related fixed assets. The Piling Products division was included in the Fabricated Steel Products business unit
within the Steel Products and Measurement reporting segment. The Piling Products division revenues were
$60,819 and $59,139 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On September 4, 2020, the Company sold its Test and Inspection Service business to an unrelated third
party buyer. Proceeds from the sale were $4,000 and resulted in a loss of $10,034 net of tax. The Coatings and
Measurement business unit will continue to be focused on core competencies around corrosion protection and

28

measurement systems in midstream pipeline applications. We have reflected the results of operations of the Test
and Inspection Services business as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Financial Statements and recast
the segment results for all periods presented.

Sales for the Steel Products and Measurement segment in 2021 decreased by $14,769, or 9.4%, compared to
the prior year, which was attributable to the Coatings and Measurement business unit. Coatings and Measurement
experienced a sales decrease of $31,210, or 52.9%, primarily due to the pandemic-related deteriorated oil and gas
market conditions in the markets we serve in addition to already weakened demand for crude oil. Partially off-
setting the decline was a sales increase of $16,435 in the Fabricated Steel Products business unit, which was
primarily driven by the segments Fabricated Bridge division, and to a lesser extent, the Water Well Threading
division.

The Steel Products and Measurement segment 2021 gross profit decreased by $11,786, or 41.6%, compared
to the prior year. The gross profit decrease was primarily due to depressed sales volume within the segment,
principally within the Coatings and Measurement business unit, inflationary costs on raw materials and labor,
and supply chain disruptions. The aforementioned items also contributed to a 640 basis point reduction in gross
profit margin for the segment. The segment loss of $2,402 decreased by $10,347 compared to the prior year to
(1.7)% of net sales. Included in the 2021 segment loss is a gain of $2,741 resulting from the sale of the Piling
Products division.

For 2021, the Steel Products and Measurement segment had a 15.3% decrease in new orders compared to
the prior year period. This decrease was primarily attributable to the Fabricated Steel Products business unit, and
to a lesser extent, the Piling divestiture. The segment’s backlog as of December 31, 2021 was $44,980, a 44.6%
decrease compared to the prior year end. Backlog as of December 31, 2020 included $32,042 related to the
divested Piling Products division.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated by operations,
and the available capacity under our revolving credit facility, which provides for a total commitment of up to
$130,000, of which $98,356 was available for borrowing as of December 31, 2021. Our primary needs for
liquidity relate to working capital requirements for operations, capital expenditures, debt service obligations,
payments related to the Union Pacific Railroad Settlement, tax obligations, outstanding purchase obligations, and
acquisitions. Our total debt was $31,251 and $45,024 as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
respectively, and was primarily comprised of borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Our cash flows are impacted from period to period by fluctuations in working capital, as well as our overall
profitability. 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 and contract assets for collectability, and
provide allowances for credit losses where appropriate. We believe that our reserves for credit losses are
appropriate as of December 31, 2021, 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.

The change in cash and cash equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in continuing operating activities was $810,
compared to net cash provided by continuing operating activities of $20,549 during the prior year. For the year
ended December 31, 2021, income and adjustments to reconcile income from continuing operating activities
provided $16,745, compared to $36,521 in 2020. Working capital and other assets and liabilities, used $17,555 in
the current period compared to $15,972 during 2020, including payments of $8,000 in 2021 and 2020 related to
the Union Pacific Railroad Concrete Tie Settlement.

The Company’s calculation of DSO was 45 days as of December 31, 2021 compared to 51 days as of

December 31, 2020. We believe our receivables portfolio is strong.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had capital expenditures of $4,620, a $4,559 decrease
from 2020. The current year expenditures were primarily related to plant expansions within our Precast Concrete
the continuing implementation of the Company’s ERP system, and general plant and
Products segment,
operational improvements throughout the Company. The capital expenditures during 2020 primarily related to
plant expansions and a plant relocation within our Precast Concrete Products segment, the purchase of a

30

continuous welded rail car and unloader within our Rail, Technologies, and Services segment, and general plant
and operational improvements throughout the Company. In 2021, the Company received cash proceeds of
$22,707 from the sale of its Piling Products division within the Steel Products and Measurement segment. Cash
used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included cash paid of $229 and
$1,156, respectively, for the asset acquisition of the LarKen Precast business in Boise, ID to expand our precast
concrete offerings in that region.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The Company reduced its outstanding debt by $13,735 during the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily
from the net proceeds from the sale of the Piling Products division. During the year ended December 31, 2020,
the Company reduced outstanding debt by $13,114, primarily utilizing proceeds from operational cash flows and
the sale of non-core assets. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid financing
fees of $406 and $498, respectively, related to its amended credit facility agreements. For the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company repurchased 45,288 and 95,285 shares of its stock, respectively, for
$732 and $1,665, respectively, all of which were withheld from employees to pay their withholding taxes in
connection with the vesting of stock awards.

Financial Condition

The Company used $810 from cash flows from operations during 2021, which was primarily utilized to fund
working capital needs. As of December 31, 2021, we had $10,372 in cash and cash equivalents and $98,356 of
availability under our revolving credit facility.

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 December 31, 2021, our current ratio,
which we define as current assets divided by current liabilities, was 2.08.

Non-domestic cash balances of $6,168 are held in various locations throughout the world. Management
determined that should the cash balances of our Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries exceed our projected working
capital needs, excess funds will be repatriated.

On August 13, 2021, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement modifies the prior revolving credit facility, as amended, on more
favorable terms and extends the maturity date from April 30, 2024 to August 13, 2026. The Credit Agreement
provides for a five-year, revolving credit facility that permits aggregate borrowings of the Borrowers (as defined
in the Credit Agreement) 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. As of December 31, 2021,
the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement. For a discussion of the terms and
availability of the Company’s credit facilities, please see Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data, Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on outstanding variable-rate debt, the Company entered into
forward starting LIBOR-based, or equivalent, interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $50,000 and
$20,000 effective February 2017 and March 2022, respectively, at which point they effectively converted a
portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contract. During the year
ended December 31, 2020, the Company dedesignated the cash flow hedges and now accounts for the $50,000
interest rate swaps on a mark-to-market basis with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings. As
of December 31, 2021 the swap asset was $175 and as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the swap
liability was $159 and $1,097, respectively. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the dissolution of
LIBOR and its effect on our LIBOR-based interest rate swaps.

31

On September 24, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Piling Products division for $23,902 in total
expected proceeds. The Company retained all pre-closing receivables and liabilities associated with the division.
The sale included substantially all inventory held by the Company associated with the division, as well as the
related fixed assets. The Piling Products division was included in the Fabricated Steel Products business unit
within the Steel Products and Measurement reporting segment. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the
Company received proceeds of $22,707. Additional proceeds of $1,195 are expected to be collected in 2022.

On September 4, 2020, the Company sold its Test and Inspection Services business for gross proceeds of
$4,000. As a result of this divestiture, the Company has reclassified the results of this business into discontinued
operations. Due to the sale of this business, the Company recognized approximately $18,978 in tax benefits,
including tax benefits recognized in discontinued operations, for the year ended December 31, 2020. For
additional information regarding the Test and Inspection Services sale, please refer to Note 3 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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, enable us to continue to service our outstanding debt and to selectively
pursue accretive bolt-on acquisitions to augment our core service offerings.

throughout the year. Backlog as of December 31, 2020 includes $32,042 in open orders from the Piling division
that was divested September 24, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, and
expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The following critical accounting
policies, which are reviewed by the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, relate to the
Company’s more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

For a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data, Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference
into this Item 7.

Income Taxes — The recognition of deferred tax assets requires management to make judgments regarding
the future realization of these assets. As prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes,” valuation allowances must be provided for
those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This guidance requires management to evaluate positive and

32

negative evidence regarding the recoverability of deferred tax assets. The determination of whether the positive
evidence outweighs the negative evidence and quantification of the valuation allowance requires management to
make estimates and judgments of future financial results.

The Company evaluates all tax positions taken on its federal, state, and foreign tax filings to determine if the
position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. For positions that meet the more likely than not to
be sustained criteria, the largest amount of benefit to be realized upon ultimate settlement is determined on a
cumulative probability basis. A previously recognized tax position is derecognized when it is subsequently
determined that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold to be sustained. The evaluation of
the sustainability of a tax position and the expected tax benefit is based on judgment, historical experience, and
other assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates upon subsequent resolution of identified matters.

The Company’s income tax rate is significantly affected by the tax rate on global operations. In addition to
local country tax laws and regulations, this rate depends on the extent earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside of
the U.S. Indefinite reinvestment is determined by management’s judgment about and intentions concerning the
future operations of the Company. There has been no material changes in the underlying assumptions and estimates
used in these calculations in the relevant period.

Refer to Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 14 which is incorporated by
reference into this Item 7, for additional information regarding the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company’s
ability to realize these tax benefits may affect the Company’s reported income tax expense and net income.

Revenue Recognition — We account for revenue in accordance with the ASC 606, “Revenue from
Contracts with Customers,” whereby the unit of account is a performance obligation. The majority of the
Company’s revenue is from products transferred and services rendered to customers at a point in time. The
Company recognizes revenue at the point in time at which the customer obtains control of the product or service,
which is generally when 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 its physical location.

The Company also derives revenue from products and services provided under long-term agreements with
is allocated to each distinct performance
its customers. The transaction price of a long-term agreement
obligation. The majority of the Company’s long-term contracts have a single performance obligation as the
promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and,
therefore, not distinct. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in
exchange for transferring products or providing services.

The Company’s performance obligations under long-term agreements with its customers are generally
satisfied as over time. 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.
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. Contract assets from over time contracts are recorded within the Consolidated Balance
Sheets and contract
liabilities from over time contracts are recorded in “Deferred revenue” within the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accounting for these long-term agreements involves the use of various techniques to estimate total revenues
and costs. The Company estimates profit on these long-term agreements as the difference between total estimated
revenues and expected costs to complete a contract and recognizes that profit over the life of the contract. Contract
estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years.
These assumptions include, among other things, labor productivity, cost and availability of materials, and timing of
funding by customers. The nature of these long-term agreements may give rise to several types of variable
considerations, such as claims, awards, and incentive fees. Historically, these amounts of variable consideration

33

have not been considered significant. Contract estimates may include additional revenue for submitted contract
modifications if there exists an enforceable right to the modification, the amount can be reasonably estimated, and
its realization is probable. These estimates are based on historical collection experience, anticipated performance,
and the Company’s best judgment at that time. These amounts are generally included in the contract’s transaction
price and are allocated over the remaining performance obligations. As significant changes in the above estimates
could impact the timing and amount of revenue and profitability of our long-term contracts, we review and update
contract-related estimates regularly. In the event a contract loss becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated
loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There has been no material changes in the
underlying assumptions and estimates used in these calculations in the relevant period.

See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial

Statements, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.

Goodwill — Goodwill is the cost of an acquisition less the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the
acquired business. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company performs its
annual impairment test in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more
likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

The Company may first consider qualitative factors to assess whether there are indicators that it is more likely
than not that the fair value of a reporting unit may not exceed its carrying amount. The quantitative goodwill
impairment analysis involves comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill.
If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess amount up
to the goodwill balance is recorded as an impairment to goodwill of the reporting unit. The Company uses a
combination of a discounted cash flow method and a market approach to determine the fair values of the reporting
units.

A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the estimation of the fair value of reporting
units, including the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors,
and overall financial performance. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is sensitive to changes in
assumptions, including forecasted future operating cash flows, weighted-average cost of capital, terminal growth
rates, and industry multiples.

The Company considers historical experience and available information at the time the fair values of its
reporting units are estimated. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in estimating the fair value
of its reporting units are reasonable and appropriate; however, different assumptions and estimates could materially
impact the estimated fair value of its reporting units and the resulting determinations about goodwill impairment.
This could materially impact the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance
Sheets. There has been no material changes in the underlying assumptions and estimates used in these calculations
in the relevant period. Future estimates may differ materially from current estimates and assumptions.

Additional information concerning the impairments is set forth in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data, Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, which is incorporated by
reference into this Item 7.

Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets — The Company tests intangible assets and long-lived assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group
may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is determined by comparing the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows of the asset or asset group to their carrying amount. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds their
estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss would be determined as the difference between the
fair value of the assets and its carrying value. Typically, the fair value of the assets would be determined using a
discounted cash flow model which would be sensitive to judgments of what constitutes an asset group and certain
assumptions such as estimated future financial performance, discount rates, and other assumptions that marketplace
participants would use in their estimates of fair value. There has been no material changes in the underlying
assumptions and estimates used in these calculations in the relevant period. The accounting estimate related to asset
impairments is highly susceptible to change from period to period because it requires management to make
assumptions about the existence of impairment indicators and cash flows over future years. These assumptions
impact the amount of an impairment, which would have an impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of L.B. Foster Company and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of L.B. Foster Company and Subsidiaries
the related consolidated statements of operations,
(the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020,
comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (a)
(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021
and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,
based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 2, 2022 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the
financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that:
(1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any
way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating
the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or
disclosures to which they relate.

Description of
Matter

the

Revenue recognition — contract estimates to complete

As explained in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, revenue is recog-
nized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under a contract. The
Company’s performance obligations under long-term agreements with its customers are
generally satisfied over time. 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. Accounting for these long-term agreements involves the use of various tech-
niques to estimate total revenues and costs. Contract estimates are based on various
assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years. These
assumptions include, among other things, labor productivity, cost and availability of mate-
rials, and timing of funding by customers. Significant changes in the above estimates
could impact the timing and amount of revenue and profitability of the Company’s long-
term contracts.

Auditing these estimates requires subjective auditor judgment because of the significant
management judgment necessary to develop the estimated total project costs and labor
costs at completion due to the size and identified risks for each contract.

How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effective-
ness of relevant internal controls over the Company’s process relating to the determination
of estimates for long-term projects. For example, we evaluated the design and tested the
operating effectiveness of controls over management’s review of the current status of
long-term projects, accumulation of costs incurred and costs remaining to complete.

Description of
Matter

the

To test the total estimates to complete for contracts, our audit procedures included, among
others, obtaining an understanding of the contract, evaluating the consistency of estimated
costs with the initial budget, and comparing the composition of costs to date with the
composition of the costs in the estimates to complete for a sample of contracts. We also
performed a retrospective review of management’s cost estimates for a sample of com-
pleted contracts by comparing initial estimates with the actual historical data to assess
management’s ability to estimate.

Income Tax — valuation allowances on deferred tax assets

As explained in Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differ-
ences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. The Company makes judgments regarding the future realization of
deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance must be provided for those assets which it is
more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the assets
will not be realized. The Company evaluates positive and negative evidence regarding the
recoverability of deferred tax assets. The determination of whether the positive evidence
outweighs the negative evidence and the quantification of the valuation allowance requires
the Company to make estimates and judgments of
results. At
December 31, 2021, the Company had total deferred tax assets of $44.5 million, net of
$3.3 million of valuation allowances.

future financial

Auditing the Company’s assertion that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets would be realized and the related measurement of the valuation allowance was
complex due to the highly judgmental nature of the projections of future sources and

37

amounts of taxable income, which rely on significant assumptions, such as the timing of
future reversals of existing temporary differences, assessing the impact of tax planning
strategies, and making projections of future taxable income. Certain of these significant
assumptions are forward looking and could be materially affected by future market or
economic conditions.

How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effective-
ness of controls over the Company’s process to assess the realizability of the deferred tax
assets and measurement of the valuation allowances, including controls over manage-
ment’s review of the significant assumptions described above.

To test the realizability of the deferred tax assets and measurement of the valuation allow-
ances, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the methodologies used,
the significant assumptions for each type of evidence discussed above, and testing the
completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis.
For example, as part of our evaluation of management’s significant assumptions, we
involved our tax professionals to assist in our evaluation of the relevant tax laws and regu-
lations in the various jurisdictions, including considering whether the estimated future
sources of taxable income were of the appropriate character to utilize the deferred tax
assets in the relevant time period. We evaluated the cumulative income or loss positions of
the Company’s various jurisdictions, assessed management’s model of estimated future
reversals of existing temporary differences and evaluated the Company’s forecasts of
future profits for the purposes of assessing the reasonableness of the Company’s estimated
future taxable income. We also compared the forecast of future taxable income with other
forecasted financial information prepared by the Company and performed sensitivity
analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in realizability of deferred
tax assets that would result from changes in the assumptions. In addition, we evaluated the
Company’s income tax disclosures related to the matters described above.

L.B. FOSTER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share data unless otherwise noted)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization, operations, and basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of L.B. Foster Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, joint ventures, and partnerships in which a controlling interest is held. Inter-company transactions
and accounts have been eliminated. The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting for companies where
its ownership is less than or equal to 50% and significant influence exists.

L.B. Foster Company (“Company”) is a global solutions provider of engineered, manufactured products and
services that builds and supports infrastructure. The Company’s innovative engineering and product development
solutions address the safety, reliability, and performance needs of its customers’ most challenging requirements.
The Company maintains locations in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. The Company is
organized and operates in three reporting segments: Rail, Technologies, and Services (“Rail”), Precast Concrete
is comprised of several
Products (“Precast”), and Steel Products and Measurement. The Rail segment
manufacturing and distribution businesses that provide a variety of products and services for freight and
passenger railroads and industrial companies throughout the world. The Precast segment is composed of three
precast concrete manufacturing facilities across the United States (“U.S.”) providing engineered precast concrete
solutions. The Steel Products and Measurement segment is composed of fabricated bridge, protective coating,
threading, and precision measurement offerings across North America.

On September 24, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Piling Products division for $23,902 in total
expected proceeds. The Company retained all pre-closing receivables and liabilities associated with the division.
The sale included substantially all inventory held by the Company associated with the division, as well as the
related fixed assets. The Piling Products division was included in the Fabricated Steel Products business unit
within the Steel Products and Measurement reporting segment.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgements, and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and
changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

Significant accounting policies

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers cash and other instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased
to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company invests available funds in a manner to preserve investment
principal and maintain liquidity, while seeking the highest yield available.

Cash and cash equivalents held in non-domestic accounts were $6,168 and $6,995 as of December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively. Included in non-domestic cash equivalents are investments in bank term deposits of
approximately $18 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The carrying amounts approximated fair value due to the
short maturity of the instruments.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Slow-moving inventory is reviewed
and adjusted regularly, based upon product knowledge, physical inventory observation, inventory turnover, and
the age of the inventory. Inventory contains product costs, including inbound freight, direct labor, overhead costs
relating to the manufacturing and distribution of products, and absorption costs representing the excess
manufacturing or production costs over the amounts charged to the cost of sales or services.

44

Property, plant, and equipment

Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 8 to 40
years for buildings and 2 to 50 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over 7
to 19 years, which represent the lives of the respective leases or the lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Depreciation expense is recorded within “Cost of goods sold,” “Cost of services sold,” and “Selling and
administrative expenses” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations based upon the particular asset’s use. The
Company reviews a long-lived asset for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying
amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. There were no property, plant, and
equipment impairments recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to operations as incurred. Major renewals and
betterments that substantially extend the useful life of the property are capitalized at cost. Upon the sale or other
disposition of assets, the costs and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the
accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in “Other income — net” in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations.

Allowance for credit losses

On January 1, 2020,

the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326):
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“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 and contract assets. 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 expected future market and other conditions. Trade receivables are pooled within the calculation based on a
range of ages, which appropriately groups receivables of similar credit risk together.

The established reserve thresholds to calculate the allowance for credit loss are based on and supported by
historic collection patterns and bad debt expense incurred by the Company, as well as the expectation that
collection patterns and bad debt expense will continue to adhere to patterns observed in recent years, which was
formed based on trends observed as well as current and expected future conditions, including the estimated
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management maintains high-quality credit review practices as well as
positive customer relationships that further mitigate credit risk. Management monitors and reviews the
contributing factors to the Company’s reserve, and makes any appropriate revisions as they become necessary.
Reserves for uncollectible accounts are recorded as part of “Selling and administrative expenses” in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill is the cost of an acquisition less the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired
business. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more often if there are indicators of impairment within a
reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment for which
discrete financial information is available and reviewed by management on a regular basis. There was no change
to the reporting units as a result of the 2021 change in reporting segments. The goodwill impairment test involves
comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of
the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess amount up to the goodwill
balance is recorded as a component of operations. The Company performs its annual impairment tests in the
fourth quarter.

45

The Company’s fourth quarter 2021 annual test included the assessment of qualitative factors to determine
whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The
qualitative assessment encompassed a review of events and circumstances specific to each reporting unit with
goodwill, as well as specific to the entity as a whole. The Company’s qualitative assessment considered, among
other things, factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, including changes in
the Company’s stock price and market multiples, projected financial performance, cost factors, changes in
carrying values, and other relevant factors. Considering the totality of the qualitative factors assessed, based on
the weight of evidence, no circumstances existed that would indicate it was more likely than not that goodwill
was impaired. There was no goodwill impairment recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020. The Company continues to monitor the recoverability of the long-lived assets associated with certain
reporting units of the Company and the long-term financial projections of the businesses. Sustained declines in
the markets the Company serves may result in future long-lived asset impairment.

The Company has no indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company reviews a long-lived intangible asset
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may
not be recoverable. All intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. There were no definite-
lived intangible asset impairments during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Environmental remediation and compliance

Environmental remediation costs are accrued when a liability is probable and costs are estimable.
Environmental compliance costs, which principally include the disposal of waste generated by routine
operations, are expensed as incurred. Capitalized environmental costs, when appropriate, are depreciated over
their useful life. Reserves are not reduced by potential claims for recovery and are not discounted. Claims for
recovery are recognized as agreements are reached with third parties or as amounts are received. Reserves are
periodically reviewed throughout the year and adjusted to reflect current remediation progress, prospective
estimates of required activity, and other factors that may be relevant, including changes in technology or
regulations. See Note 18 for additional information regarding the Company’s outstanding environmental and
litigation reserves.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenues are comprised of product and service sales, including products and services
provided under long-term agreements with its customers. All revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies
its performance obligations under the respective contract, either implicit or explicit, by transferring the promised
product or rendering a service to its customer either when or as its customer obtains control of the product or the
service is rendered. Deferred revenue consists of customer billings or payments received for which the revenue
recognition criteria have not yet been met as well as contract liabilities (billings in excess of costs) on over time
contracts. Advance payments from customers typically relate to contracts for which the Company has
significantly fulfilled its obligations, but due to the Company’s continuing involvement with the project, revenue
is precluded from being recognized until the performance obligation is met for the customer. See Note 4 for
additional information.

Product warranty

The Company maintains a current warranty liability for the repair or replacement of defective products. For
certain manufactured products, an accrual is made on a monthly basis as a percentage of cost of sales based upon
historical experience. For long-lived construction products, a warranty is established when the claim is known
and quantifiable. The product warranty accrual is periodically adjusted based on the identification or resolution
of known individual product warranty claims or due to changes in the Company’s historical warranty experience.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the product warranty reserve was $1,042 and $1,249, respectively. See Note
18 for additional information regarding the product warranty.

46

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are measured using enacted tax
laws and rates expected to be in effect when such differences are recovered or settled. The effect of a change in
tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the change.
The Company has also elected to record income taxes associated with global intangible low-taxed income
(“GILTI”) as period costs if and when incurred.

The Company makes judgments regarding the recognition of deferred tax assets and the future realization of
these assets. As prescribed by the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes” and
applicable guidance, valuation allowances must be provided for those deferred tax assets for which it is more
likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The guidance requires the Company to evaluate positive and negative evidence regarding the
recoverability of deferred tax assets. The determination of whether the positive evidence outweighs the negative
evidence and quantification of the valuation allowance requires the Company to make estimates and judgments
of future financial results. The Company has concluded that for purposes of quantifying valuation allowances, it
would be appropriate to consider the reversal of taxable temporary differences related to indefinite-lived
intangible assets when assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets that upon reversal, would give rise to
operating losses that do not expire.

The Company evaluates all tax positions taken on its federal, state, and foreign tax filings to determine if the
position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. For positions that meet the more likely than
not to be sustained criteria, the largest amount of benefit to be realized upon ultimate settlement is determined on
a cumulative probability basis. A previously recognized tax position is derecognized when it is subsequently
determined that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold to be sustained. The evaluation
of the sustainability of a tax position and the expected tax benefit is based on judgment, historical experience,
and various other assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates upon subsequent resolution of
identified matters. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its
provision for income taxes.

Foreign currency translation

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the
functional currency and are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income
statement amounts are translated at the weighted-average rates of exchange during the year. The translation
adjustment is accumulated as a separate component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in “Other income or
expense.” For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, foreign currency transaction loss of $452 and a gain
of $32, respectively, were included in “Other income — net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Research and development

The Company expenses research and development costs as costs are incurred. For the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, research and development expenses were $2,233 and $2,643, respectively, and
were principally related to the Company’s friction management and railroad monitoring system products within
the Rail segment.

Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative
purposes principally to conform to the presentation in the current year period, including the changes in business
segments and contract assets.

Recently issued accounting guidance

In March 2020, the FASB issued 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. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 on its
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Note 2. Business Segments

The Company is a global solutions provider of engineered, manufactured products and services that builds
and supports infrastructure. The Company’s innovative engineering and product development solutions inspire
the safety, reliability, and performance of its customers’ challenging requirements. The Company maintains
locations in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia where it markets its products and services
primarily through an internal sales force. 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. The changes are due in part to a holistic
reassessment performed focused on Company strategy, which was supported by an external advisory firm. As a
result of these changes, the Company now has three reporting segments, representing the individual businesses
the Rail,
that are run separately under the new structure. The Company’s new reportable segments are:
Technologies, and Services segment, the Precast Concrete Products segment, and the Steel Products and
Measurement 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
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. The Company considers the aggregation of operating segments into reporting segments based on nature
of offerings, nature of production services, the type or class of customer for products and services, methods used
to distribute products and services, and economic and regulatory environment conditions.

railroad condition monitoring systems and equipment, wheel

The Company’s Rail, Technologies, and Services reporting segment is the aggregation of the Rail Products
and Friction Management and the Technology Services and Solutions operating segments, which was evaluated
based on the factors outlined above. The Rail, Technologies, and Services reporting segment engineers,
manufactures, and assembles friction management products and railway wayside data collection, application
systems,
load detection systems,
management systems, and provides services for these products. The Rail, Technologies, and Services segment
also provides a full line of new and used rail, trackwork, and accessories to railroads, mines, and other customers
in the rail industry as well as designs and produces insulated rail joints, power rail, track fasteners, concrete
railroad ties, coverboards, and special accessories for mass transit and other rail systems. In addition, the Rail,
Technologies, and Services segment provides controls, display, and telecommunication contract management
solutions for the transit, control room, and customer information and display sectors to enhance safety,
operational efficiency, and customer experience.

impact

The Company’s Precast Concrete Products segment produces precast concrete buildings and a variety of
specialty precast concrete products for use in several infrastructure end markets, including transportation and
infrastructure. Precast concrete buildings are primarily used as restrooms, concession stands, and
general
protective storage buildings in national, state, and municipal parks, while other precast products include sound
walls, burial vaults, bridge beams, box culverts, septic tanks, and other custom pre-stressed products.

The Company’s Steel Products and Measurement segment sells bridge decking, bridge railing, structural
steel fabrications, expansion joints, bridge forms and other products for highway construction and repair. This
segment also produces threaded pipe products for industrial water well and irrigation markets as well as the oil
and gas markets. Lastly, this segment provides pipe coatings for oil and gas pipelines and utilities, precision

48

measurement systems for the oil and gas market. On September 24, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its
Piling Products division. The Company retained all pre-closing receivables and liabilities associated with the
division. The sale included substantially all inventory and fixed assets held by the Company associated with the
division. Results of the Piling Products division are included in the Company’s Steel Products and Measurement
segment.

Segment profit from operations includes allocated corporate operating expenses. Operating expenses related
to corporate headquarter functions were allocated to each segment based on headcount, revenue contribution, or
time spent supporting business units within the segments, as appropriate for the type of function. The expense
allocation excludes certain corporate costs that are separately managed from the segments. Other income and
expenses, interest, income taxes, and certain other items are managed on a consolidated basis. Management
believes the allocation of corporate operating expenses provides an accurate presentation of how the segments
utilize corporate support activities. This provides the CODM a meaningful segment profitability information to
support operating decisions and the allocation of resources.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of

significant accounting policies found in Note 1.

The Company has restated segment information for the historical periods presented herein to conform to the
current presentation. This change in segment presentation does not affect the Company’s consolidated statements
of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows.

Note 4. Revenue

The Company’s revenues are comprised of product and service sales, including products and services provided
under long-term agreements with its customers. All revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its perform-
ance obligations under the contract, either implicit or explicit, by transferring the promised product or rendering a
service to its customer either when or as its customer obtains control of the product or as the service is rendered. A
performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or render a specific service to a cus-
tomer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. The majority of the
Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or render services is
not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. Revenue is measured as
the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing
services. Revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales, value added,
and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net
(excluded from revenues) basis. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

51

The Company’s performance obligations under long-term agreements with its customers are generally satisfied
over time. Over time revenue is primarily comprised of transit infrastructure projects within the Rail segment, pre-
cast concrete buildings within the Precast Concrete Products segment, and long-term bridge projects within the
Fabricated Steel Products division and custom precision metering systems within the Coatings and Measurement
division in the Steel Products and Measurement segment. Revenue from products or services provided to customers
over time accounted for 29.9% and 29.4% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
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 recog-
nized over time using an input measure was $100,787 and $101,160 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively. A certain portion of the Company’s revenue recognized over time under these long-term agree-
ments 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 $52,844 and $44,860 for the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had
contract assets of $36,179 and $37,843, respectively, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31,
2021 and 2020, the Company had contract liabilities of $3,235 and $1,324, respectively, that were recorded in
“Deferred revenue” within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accounting for these long-term agreements involves the use of various techniques to estimate total revenues
and costs. The Company estimates profit on these long-term agreements as the difference between total estimated
revenues and expected costs to complete a contract and recognizes that profit over the life of the contract. Contract
estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years.
These assumptions include, among other things, labor productivity, cost and availability of materials, and timing of
funding by customers. The nature of these long-term agreements may give rise to several types of variable consid-
eration, such as claims, awards, and incentive fees. Historically, these amounts of variable consideration have not
been considered significant. Contract estimates may include additional revenue for submitted contract modifications
if there exists an enforceable right to the modification, the amount can be reasonably estimated, and its realization is
probable. These estimates are based on historical collection experience, anticipated performance, and the Compa-
ny’s best judgment at that time. These amounts are generally included in the contract’s transaction price and are
allocated over the remaining performance obligations. Changes in judgments related to the estimates above could
impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized and, accordingly, the timing and amount of associated income.
In the event that a contract loss becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is recognized in the Con-
solidated Statements of Operations.

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 balances will ultimately flow to the Company’s
accounts receivable. In addition to contract-specific provisions for which reserves were historically established as a
result of the Company’s contract review process, management also elected to implement a standard credit loss
provision over any remaining contract assets considered to have a similar low risk of credit loss.The development of
these estimates is based on historic collection trends, accuracy of estimates within contract margin reporting, as well
as the expectation that collection patterns, margin reporting, and bad debt expense will continue to adhere to pat-
terns observed in recent years. These expectations were formed based on trends observed as well as current and
expected future conditions. Management monitors and reviews the contributing factors to the Company’s reserve,
and makes any appropriate revisions as they become necessary.

The majority of the Company’s revenue is from products transferred and services rendered to customers at a
point in time, which is inherent in all major product and service categories. Point in time revenue accounted for
70.1% and 70.6%, of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recog-
nizes revenue at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product or service, which is generally
when product title passes to the customer upon shipment or the service has been rendered to the customer. In limited
cases, title does not transfer upon shipment and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the prod-
ucts at a designated physical location.

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

Significant changes in contract assets during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included transfers
the beginning of the period of $24,501 and $27,126,
to receivables from contract assets recognized at
respectively. Significant changes in contract liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
included increases of $3,245 and $803, respectively, 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
year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 of $917 and $3,784, respectively, which were included in the contract
liabilities at the beginning of each period.

Deferred revenue of $13,411 and $7,144 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, consisted of
customer billings or payments received for which the revenue recognition criteria had not yet been met as well as
contract liabilities (billings in excess of costs) on over time revenue projects. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020,
contract
liabilities, recorded within “Deferred revenue,” was $3,235 and $1,324, respectively. Advanced
payments from customers typically relate to contracts with respect to which the Company has significantly
fulfilled its obligations, but due to the Company’s continuing involvement with the project, revenue is not
recognized until title, ownership, and risk of loss have passed to the customer.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $210,189 of remaining performance obligations,
which is also referred to as backlog. Approximately 10.3% of the backlog as of December 31, 2021 was related

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 expected
future market and other conditions. Trade receivables are pooled within the calculation based on a range of ages,
which appropriately groups receivables of similar credit risk together.

The established reserve thresholds to calculate the allowance for credit loss are based on and supported by
historic collection patterns and bad debt expense incurred by the Company, as well as the expectation that
collection patterns and bad debt expense will continue to adhere to patterns observed in recent years, which was
formed based on trends observed as well as current and expected future conditions. Management maintains high-
quality credit review practices as well as positive customer relationships that further mitigate credit risk.
Management monitors and reviews the contributing factors to the Company’s reserve, and makes any appropriate
revisions as they 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 as of January 1, 2020.

Changes in reserves for uncollectible accounts are recorded as part of “Selling and administrative expenses”
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and were income of $87, and expense of $365 for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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

Note 9. Leases

The Company determines 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 the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in “Property, plant, and equipment — net,”
“Current maturities of long-term debt,” and “Long-term debt” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease
liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease
right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of
lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the
Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in
determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily

56

determinable. The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes indirect costs incurred and lease payments
made prior to the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may
include options to extend or terminate the lease and will be recognized when it is reasonably certain that the
Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components that it accounts for as a single
lease component. Also, for certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively
account for the operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities.

The Company has operating and finance leases for manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, sales offices,
vehicles, and certain equipment. As of December 31, 2021, its leases had remaining lease terms of 2 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.

Borrowings

On August 13, 2021, the Company, its domestic subsidiaries, and certain of its Canadian and United
Kingdom subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, Bank of America, N.A., and BMO Harris Bank, National Association. The Credit Agreement
modifies the prior revolving credit facility, as amended, on more favorable terms and extends the maturity date
from April 30, 2024 to August 13, 2026. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, revolving credit facility
that permits aggregate borrowings of the Borrowers up to $130,000 (a $15,000 increase over the previous
commitment) with a sublimit of the equivalent of $25,000 U.S. dollars that is available to the Canadian and
United Kingdom borrowers in the aggregate. The Credit Agreement’s incremental loan feature permits the
Company to increase the available commitments under the facility by up to an additional $50,000 subject to the
Company’s receipt of increased commitments from existing or new lenders and the satisfaction of certain
conditions.

The obligation of the Company and its domestic, Canadian, and United Kingdom subsidiaries (the
“Guarantors”) under the Credit Agreement will be secured by the grant of a security interest by the Borrowers
and Guarantors in substantially all of the assets owned by such entities. Additionally, the equity interests in each
of the loan parties, other than the Company, and the equity interests held by each loan party in their subsidiaries,
will be pledged to the lenders as collateral for the lending obligations.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at rates based upon either the base rate or LIBOR
rate plus applicable margins. Applicable margins are dictated by the ratio of the Company’s total net
indebtedness to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for four trailing quarters, as defined in the Credit
Agreement. The base rate is the highest of (a) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 50 basis point, (b) the
Prime Rate, or (c) the Daily LIBOR rate plus 100 basis point 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, 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

59

not exceed: (i) $50,000 per acquisition, so long as the Gross Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
is less than or equal to 2.75 after giving effect to such acquisition; or (ii) $75,000 per acquisition, so long as the
Gross Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.75 after giving effect to such acquisition.

Other restrictions exist at all times including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s sale of assets
and the incurrence by either the Borrowers or the non-borrower subsidiaries of the Company of other
indebtedness, guarantees, and liens.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement.

Prior to entering into the current agreement outlined above, on June 26, 2020, the Borrowers entered into the
First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The First
Amendment provided for a revolving credit facility to permit aggregate borrowings of the Borrowers up to
$120,000 with a sublimit of the equivalent of $25,000 U.S. dollars that were available to the Canadian and
United Kingdom borrowers in the aggregate, and repaid and terminated the outstanding term loan by drawing
funds on the revolving credit facility. The First Amendment provided additional $5,000 annual reductions to the
revolving credit facility beginning on December 31, 2020 through the maturity of the facility on April 30, 2024.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $544

and $949, respectively, and had net available borrowing capacity of $98,356 and $69,274, respectively.

Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity

The Company had authorized shares of 20,000,000 in common stock with 11,115,779 shares issued as of
December 31, 2021 and 2020. The common stock has a par value of $0.01 per share and the Company did not
make any dividend payments during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company withheld 45,288 and 95,285 shares for approximately
$732 and $1,665, respectively, from employees to pay their withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of
restricted stock awards. There were no shares repurchased or dividends declared during the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES Act”) was
enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act contains several corporate income tax
provisions, including providing for a five-year carryback of net operating losses (“NOL”) generated in tax years
2018 through 2020, removing the 80% taxable income limitation on utilization of those NOLs if carried back to
prior tax years or utilized in tax years beginning before 2021, making remaining alternative minimum tax
(“AMT”) credits immediately refundable, and temporarily relaxing the interest deductibility rules by raising the
adjusted taxable income limitation from 30% to 50% for tax years 2019 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021, the
Company has recorded an income tax receivable of $8,500 to reflect expected tax refunds of federal taxes paid
within the five year NOL carryback period.

A valuation allowance is required to be established or maintained when, based on currently available
information and other factors, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be
realized. The Company has considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need
for a valuation allowance in each jurisdiction.

As of December 31, 2021, the positive evidence considered in evaluating U.S. deferred tax assets included
cumulative domestic financial income over the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, as well as the
composition and reversal patterns of existing taxable and deductible temporary differences between financial
reporting and tax. Based on its evaluation, the Company believed it was appropriate to rely on forecasted future

63

taxable income to support its U.S. deferred tax assets. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable;
however, could be adjusted if negative evidence outweighs additional subjective evidence such as the Company’s
projections for growth.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a federal NOL carryforward of $90,321, which is limited to
80% of taxable income annually, but may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company also has federal research
tax credit carryforwards in the amount of $1,376 that will expire at various times from 2036 through 2041. The
Company believes it is more likely than not that the tax benefits from the federal loss carryforwards and research
tax credit carryforwards will be realized.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the tax benefit of NOL carryforwards available for state income tax
purposes was $9,643 and $8,320, respectively. Many state NOL carryforwards will expire in various years
through 2041, while some may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company believes it is more likely than not
that a portion of the tax benefit from state operating loss carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this
risk, the Company has provided a valuation allowance of $2,430, net of federal benefit, against deferred tax
assets related to state operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has NOL carryforwards in certain foreign jurisdictions of $2,921,
which may be carried forward indefinitely. The foreign jurisdictions have incurred cumulative financial losses
over the three-year period ended December 31, 2021 and have projected future taxable losses. The Company
believes it is more likely than not that the tax benefit from these loss carryforwards will not be realized. In
recognition of this risk, it has provided a valuation allowance of $860, collectively, against deferred tax assets in
foreign jurisdictions as of December 31, 2021.

The determination to record or not record a valuation allowance involves management judgment, based on
the consideration of positive and negative evidence available at the time of the assessment. Management will
continue to assess the realization of its deferred tax assets based upon future evidence, and may record
adjustments to valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in future periods, as appropriate, that could
materially impact net income.

Each quarter, management reviews operations and liquidity needs in each jurisdiction to assess the
Company’s intent to reinvest foreign earnings outside of the U.S. As of December 31, 2021, management
determined that cash balances of its Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries exceeded projected capital needs
by $4,400. Management does not intend for such amounts to be permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. and
has therefore accrued foreign withholding taxes of $220 as of December 31, 2021. It is management’s intent and
practice to indefinitely reinvest other undistributed earnings outside of the U.S. Determination of the amount of
any unrecognized deferred income tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings is not practicable
because of the complexities of the hypothetical calculation.

The following table provides a reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021 and

2020:

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was
$365 as of December 31, 2021. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
in its provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had accrued interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $333 and $333, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the
Company did not expect any material increases or decreases to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12
months. Ultimate realization of these tax benefits is dependent upon the occurrence of certain events, including
the completion of audits by tax authorities and expiration of statutes of limitations.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and in various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. The
Company is subject to federal income tax examinations for the 2018 period and thereafter. With respect to the
state, local, and foreign filings, certain entities of the Company are subject to income tax examinations for the
2017 period and thereafter.

Note 15. Stock-based Compensation

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock-based 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
period. Stock forfeitures and cancellations are recognized as they occur. The Company recorded stock-based
compensation expense of $1,945 and $1,136 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
related to fully-vested stock awards, restricted stock awards, and performance unit awards. As of December 31,
2021, unrecognized compensation expense for awards that the Company expects to vest approximated $2,471.
The Company will recognize this unrecognized compensation expense over approximately 5.2 years.

Shares issued as a result of vested stock-based compensation generally will be from previously issued shares
that have been reacquired by the Company and held as treasury stock or authorized but previously unissued
common stock.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had stock awards issued pursuant to the 2006 Omnibus Incentive
Plan, as amended and restated in May 2018 (“Omnibus Plan”). The Omnibus Plan allows for the issuance of
2,058,000 shares of common stock through the granting of stock options or stock awards (including performance
units convertible into stock) to key employees and directors at no less than 100% of fair market value on the date
of the grant. The Omnibus Plan provides for the granting of “nonqualified options” with a duration of not more
than ten years from the date of grant. The Omnibus Plan also provides that, unless otherwise set forth in the
option agreement, stock options are exercisable in installments of up to 25% annually beginning one year from
the date of grant. No stock options have been granted under the Omnibus Plan and, as such, there was no stock-
based compensation expense related to stock options recorded in 2021 and 2020.

Non-Employee Director Fully-Vested and Restricted Stock Awards

Prior to May 2018, non-employee directors were awarded fully-vested shares of the Company’s common
stock on each date the non-employee directors were elected at the annual shareholders’ meeting to serve as
directors. Since May 2018, such annual equity awards have been subject to a one-year vesting requirement.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Nomination and Governance Committee and Board of Directors
jointly approved the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors under the Omnibus Plan, which
permits non-employee directors of the Company to defer receipt of earned cash and/or stock compensation for
service on the Board.

The non-employee directors were granted a total of 35,255 and 50,316 restricted shares and fully-vested for
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Compensation expense recorded by the Company
related to such awards to non-employee directors was approximately $650 and $576 for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During 2021, 8,814 deferred share units were allotted to the accounts
of the non-employee directors pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

The weighted average fair value of all the fully-vested and restricted stock grants awarded was $17.87 and

$12.79 per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards and Performance Unit Awards

Under the Omnibus Plan, the Company grants certain employees restricted stock and performance unit
awards. The forfeitable restricted stock awards granted prior to March 2015 generally time-vest after a four-year
period, and those granted subsequent to March 2015 generally time-vest ratably over a three-year period, unless
indicated otherwise by the underlying restricted stock award agreement. Performance unit awards are offered

65

annually under separate three-year long-term incentive programs. Performance units are subject to forfeiture and
will be converted into common stock 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 stock awards expected to vest changes in a subsequent accounting period, cumulative compensation
expense could increase or decrease. The change is recognized in the current period for the performance unit
awards and would change future expense over the remaining service period.

award activity for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Performance units are subject to forfeiture and are 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 plan. Performance Stock Units are adjusted to the Company’s expected performance target
attainment, while the weighted average aggregate grant date fair value in the above table is based upon achieving
100% of the performance targets as defined in the underlying plan.

In February 2021, under the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company established a performance-based
incentive stock award retention program to incentivize and retain key personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic
by driving stock price. Under this five-year program, participants have the opportunity to earn up to 3,333 shares
of Company common stock. The first 50% of the shares (1,666 shares) are earned based on achievement of a
consecutive thirty (30) day average NASDAQ closing price of $25.00. The second 50% of the shares (1,666
shares) are earned based on achievement of a consecutive thirty (30) day average NASDAQ closing price of
$30.00. The value of any shares awarded will be determined using a Monte Carlo methodology at the time of
payout. No shares earned are paid prior to March 1, 2024, and the program and opportunity to earn the shares
expires on February 28, 2026.

Excluding the restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors, the Company recorded stock-
based compensation expense of $1,295 and $557, respectively, for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and
2020 related to restricted stock and performance unit awards.

Note 16. 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

66

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.

The Company has an established process for determining fair value for its financial assets and liabilities,
principally cash and cash equivalents and interest rate swaps. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, where
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on assumptions that use as inputs market-
based parameters. The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure
different financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in
which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the key
inputs to the valuations and any significant assumptions.

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 and $20,000 effective February 2017 and March 2022, respectively. 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 December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest rate swaps were recorded
in “Other accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following assets and liabilities of the Company were measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject
to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”) as of December 31, 2021
and 2020:

The $20,000 interest rate swaps that become effective March 2022 are accounted for as cash flow hedges
and the objective of the hedges is to offset the expected interest variability on payments associated with the
interest rate on our debt. The gains and losses related to the interest rate swaps are reclassified from
“Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and included in
“Interest expense — net” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the interest expense from
our debt is recognized.

67

Prior to the third quarter of 2020, the Company accounted for the $50,000 of interest rate swaps that became
effective February 2017 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 its debt. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company
dedesignated the cash flow hedges and now accounts 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.

For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $958 and

$289, respectively, from interest rate swaps.

As a result of the dedesignation of the interest rate swaps, the Company recognized interest income of $940
and $470 from the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps in “Interest expense — net” in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company measures certain nonfinancial assets and

liabilities at fair value, which are recognized and disclosed on a nonrecurring basis.

The gross carrying value of the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value for the periods

presented. Additional information regarding the revolving credit facility can be found in Note 10.

Information regarding the fair value disclosures associated with the assets of the Company’s defined benefit

plans can be found in Note 17.

Note 17. Retirement Plans

The Company has three retirement plans that cover its hourly and salaried employees in the U.S.: 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, as amended
(“ERISA”) and the Company’s policy and investment guidelines of the applicable plan. The Company’s policy is
to contribute at least the required minimum in accordance with the funding standards of ERISA.

The Company maintains two defined contribution plans for its employees in Canada, as well as a post-
retirement benefit plan. In the United Kingdom, the Company maintains two defined contribution plans and a
defined benefit plan, which is frozen. These plans are discussed in further detail below.

Cash equivalents: The Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of these investments
in interest-bearing cash accounts and they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying
amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.

Fixed income funds: Investments within the fixed income funds category consist of fixed income corporate
debt. The Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair values of these fixed income funds. These
instruments consist of exchange-traded government and corporate bonds and are classified as Level 1 of the fair
value hierarchy.

Equity funds and equities: The valuation of investments in registered investment companies is based on the
underlying investments in securities. Securities traded on security exchanges are valued at the latest quoted sales
price. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that
date are valued at the average of the last reported bid and ask quotations. These investments are classified as
Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

United Kingdom Defined Benefit Plan

The Company’s U.K. defined benefit plan covers certain current employees, former employees, and retirees.
The plan has been frozen to new entrants since April 1, 1997 and also covers the former employees of a merged
plan after January 2002. Benefits under the plan were based on years of service and eligible compensation during
defined periods of service. The Company’s funding policy for the plan is to make minimum annual contributions
required by applicable regulations.

The funded status of the United Kingdom defined benefit plan as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as

The Company has estimated the long-term rate of return on plan assets based primarily on historical returns
on plan assets, adjusted for changes in target portfolio allocations, and recent changes in long-term interest rates
based on publicly available information.

Plan assets are invested by the trustees in accordance with a written statement of investment principles. This
statement permits investment in equities, corporate bonds, United Kingdom government securities, commercial
property, and cash, based on certain target allocation percentages. Asset allocation is primarily based on a
strategy to provide steady growth without undue fluctuations. The target asset allocation percentages for 2021
were as follows:

Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plan

The Company’s operation near Montreal, Quebec, Canada, maintains a post-retirement benefit plan, which
provides retiree life insurance, health care benefits, and, for a closed group of employees, dental care. Retiring
employees with a minimum of 10 years of service are eligible for the plan benefits. The plan is not funded. Cost
of benefits earned by employees is charged to expense as services are rendered. The expense related to this plan
was not material for 2021 or 2020. The accrued benefit obligation was $856 and $932 as of December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively. This obligation is recognized within “Other long-term liabilities” on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Benefit payments anticipated for 2022 are not material.

Note 18. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

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 that is adjusted on a monthly
basis as a percentage of cost of sales. This product warranty accrual is periodically adjusted based on the
identification or resolution of known individual product warranty claims.

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

On March 13, 2019,

the Company and its subsidiary, CXT Incorporated entered into a Settlement
Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Union Pacific Railroad (“UPRR”) to resolve 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 prejudgment interest, beginning with a $2,000 immediate payment, and with the remaining $48,000 paid
in installments over a six-year period commencing on March 13, 2019 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 with 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. 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 expected payments under the UPRR settlement agreement for the year ending December 31, 2022 and

thereafter were as follows:

The Company reclassified $6,600 of the previously accrued warranty reserve related to the UPRR matter
into its aggregate accrued settlement liability of $50,000 as of December 31, 2018. Therefore, the Company
recognized $43,400 in expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 for the remaining amount per the
Settlement Agreement, which was recorded in “Concrete Tie Settlement expense” within its Consolidated
Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $8,000 and $8,000 was recorded within “Current
portion of accrued settlement,” respectively, and $16,000 and $24,000 was recorded within “Long-term portion
of accrued settlement,” respectively, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other Legal Matters

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 December 31, 2021.

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 December 31, 2021, no such disclosures were considered necessary.

Environmental Matters

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 U.S.
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 active 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 to participate in a private allocation process among
almost 100 PRPs in a working group whose work began in 2008 and whose work is ongoing. The Company 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.

The following table sets forth the Company’s undiscounted environmental obligation:

ITEM 9A. 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
Rule 13a–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”) as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of the period
covered by this report.

Managements’ Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of L.B. Foster Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). L.B. Foster Company’s
internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of
Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All internal control
systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Accordingly, even effective controls can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. There were
no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

L.B. Foster Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used criteria set forth by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control —
Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of L.B. Foster Company and Subsidiaries

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited L.B. Foster Company and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2021 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In
our opinion, L.B. Foster Company and Subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020,
the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and the financial statement
schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a) and our report dated March 2, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion
thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management

is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the
accompanying Managements’ Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

The following is a brief description of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of the
L.B. Foster Company (the “Company”), which is the only security of the Company registered under Section 12
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The summary of the terms of the Common Stock is not
complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the relevant provisions of the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (“PBCL”), the Compa-
ny’s Articles of Incorporation (“Articles of Incorporation”) and its Bylaws (the “Bylaws”). Copies of the Articles
of Incorporation and Bylaws have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are incorporated
by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part. We encourage
you to read our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws for additional information.

Overview of Capital Stock

Authorized Capital Stock

Our authorized capital shares consist of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock (“Preferred Stock”). The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) may issue Pre-
ferred Stock from time to time. Subject to the limits imposed by the PBCL, our Board of Directors is authorized
to divide the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock into classes or series, or both, and to determine
for any such class or series its designation and the number of shares of the class or series and the voting rights,
preferences, limitations and special rights, if any, of the class or series. As of December 31, 2021, no shares of
Preferred Stock were registered or outstanding.

Description of Common Stock

Voting Rights

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by shareholders, including
the election of directors. Our Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights and our Board of Directors
is not classified. Except as otherwise provided in the PBCL, Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, actions by
shareholders shall be effective upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders enti-
tled to vote thereon and, if any shareholders are entitled to vote thereon as a class, upon receiving the affirmative
vote of a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote as a class. The Bylaws provide that, in the
case of director elections, candidates receiving the highest number of votes from each class or group of classes
shall be elected (i.e., plurality vote standard).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes that all shareholders
are entitled to cast is required to amend certain provisions of the Bylaws regarding (i) advance notice of nomi-
nations and proposals (Section 2.05) and (ii) amendment of Bylaws (Section 7.02).

Dividend Rights

Subject to the rights of any Preferred Stock then outstanding, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive
dividends for each outstanding share, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors in
its discretion out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, either voluntarily or involuntarily, holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive, subject to any liquidation preference of any Preferred Stock then out-
standing, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution, if any, in proportion to the number of
shares held.

Other Rights and Preferences

The holders of Common Stock do not have any preemptive, redemption, sinking fund, or conversion rights and
the Common Stock is not subject to any restriction on alienability, except as required by law.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions

Governance Document Provisions

The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws include certain provisions which may be considered to be “anti-
takeover” in nature because they may have the effect of discouraging or making more difficult the acquisition of
control by means of a hostile tender offer, exchange offer, proxy contest or similar transaction. The Company
believes these provisions protect shareholders by providing a measure of assurance that shareholders will be
treated fairly in the event of an unsolicited takeover bid and by preventing a successful takeover bidder from
exercising its voting control to the detriment of the other shareholders.

The provisions in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (or lack thereof) which may be considered to be
“anti-takeover” in nature include the following:

‰ Availability of authorized but unissued capital stock, including the ability to issue a class or series, or

both, of Preferred Stock whose rights and privileges may be determined by the Board of Directors;
‰ A provision that does not permit shareholders to cumulate their votes for the election of directors;
‰ A provision that limits the permissible number of directors;
‰ A provision that requires, in certain circumstances, a greater than majority shareholder vote in order to

amend the Bylaws and advance notice provisions set forth therein;

‰ A provision requiring that advance notice be delivered to the Company of any business to be brought by
an eligible shareholder before a meeting of shareholders and requiring certain procedures to be followed
by shareholders in nominating candidates for election as directors;

‰ No provision for shareholders to call special meetings of shareholders; and
‰ No provision for shareholders to act by partial written consent.

Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law Provisions

The PBCL contains a number of statutory “anti-takeover” provisions, including Subchapters E, F, G and H of
Chapter 25 and Sections 2521, 2524 and 2538 of the PBCL, which apply automatically to Pennsylvania regis-
tered corporations unless the corporation elects to opt-out of those provisions. The Company is a Pennsylvania
registered corporation, and has elected to opt-out of certain provisions as described below. Descriptions of the
anti-takeover provisions that the Company opted out of are qualified in their entirety by reference to the PBCL:

‰ Section 1715 (relating to exercise of powers generally) provides that the board of directors, when consider-
ing the best interests of the corporation generally, may consider the effects of an action upon any or all
groups affected by the action, the short- and long-term interests of the corporation, and the resources,
intent, and conduct of any person seeking to acquire control of the corporation. In considering the best
interests of the corporation and the effect of an action, the board of directors shall not be required to
regard the corporate interest or interest of any particular group as the dominant or controlling interest, and
the act of the board of directors, absent any breach of fiduciary duty, shall be presumed to be in the best
interest of the corporation.

‰ Section 2538 of the PBCL generally establishes certain shareholder approval requirements with respect to

specified transactions with “interested shareholders.”

‰ Subchapter E (relating to control transactions) generally provides that if any person or group acquires 20%
or more of the Company’s voting power, the remaining holders of voting shares may demand from such
person or group the fair value of their voting shares, including a proportionate amount of any control
premium.

‰ Subchapter F (relating to business combinations) imposes conditions upon “business combinations,”
including a five-year moratorium on certain “business combinations” unless certain conditions are met,
between an “interested shareholder” and the Company. The term “business combination” is defined
broadly to include various transactions between a corporation and an interested shareholder including
mergers, sales or leases of specified amounts of assets, liquidations, reclassifications and issuances of
specified amounts of additional shares of stock of the corporation. An “interested shareholder” is defined
generally as the beneficial owner of at least 20% of a corporation’s voting shares.

‰ Subchapter G (relating to control share acquisitions) generally requires a shareholder vote to reinstate

voting rights to control shares acquired by a 20% shareholder in a control-share acquisition.

‰ Subchapter H (relating to disgorgement of profits) generally requires a person or group that owns 20% or
more of a company’s equity securities, or that publicly announces an intention to acquire control of a
company, to disgorge within 24 months prior to, or within 18 months after, acquiring control status any
profits received from a sale of the company’s shares.
