L.B. Foster reports Q3 EPS 40c vs $3.27 last year

Reports Q3 revenue $138.286M vs $137.466M last year. John Kasel, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continued on a favorable trend in the third quarter, although the modest sales growth resulted in lower profitability compared to last year’s high point realized in Q3. Sales were up 0.6%, while Adjusted EBITDA was down 7.9% driven primarily by lower margins for Precast Concrete within Infrastructure. Rail margins were also slightly lower, but this was primarily volume-timing related. With the improved customer demand and higher backlog in place, we expect a strong fourth quarter for both segments.”
