Reclassifications

Certain accounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes principally to conform to the presentation of reporting segments in the current year period.

Effective for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, the Company implemented operational changes in how its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages its businesses, including resource allocation and operating decisions.

As a result of these changes, the Company has three reporting segments, representing the individual businesses that are run separately under the new structure:

Rail, Technologies, and Services;

Precast Concrete Products;

and Steel Products and Measurement.

The Company has revised the information for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect these reclassifications.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020 and as clarified in January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No.

(“ASU”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848):

Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued.

The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2020-04 to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Skratch Enterprises Ltd.

On June 21, 2022, the Company acquired the stock of Skratch Enterprises Ltd.

(“Skratch”) for $ 7,402 , which is inclusive of deferred payments withheld by the Company of $ 1,228 , to be paid over the next five years or utilized to satisfy post-closing working capital adjustments or indemnity claims under the purchase agreement.

Located in Telford, United Kingdom, Skratch offers a single-point supply solution model for clients, and enabling large scale deployments.

Skratch’s service offerings include design, prototyping and proof of concept, hardware and software, logistics and warehousing, installation, maintenance, content management, and managed monitoring.

Skratch has been included in the Company’s Technology Services and Solutions business unit within the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment.

VanHooseCo Precast LLC

On August 12, 2022, the Company acquired the operating assets of VanHooseCo Precast LLC (“VanHooseCo”), a privately-held business headquartered in Loudon, Tennessee specializing in precast concrete walls, water management products, and traditional precast products for the industrial, commercial, and residential infrastructure markets.

The Company acquired VanHooseCo for $ 52,203 , net of cash acquired at closing, subject to the finalization of net working capital adjustments.

An amount equal to $ 2,500 of the purchase price was deposited in an escrow account in order to cover breaches of representations and warranties.

The acquisition agreement includes two employment agreements whereby principals have the ability to earn up to an additional $ 1,000 dependent upon the successful completion of the principals’ employment agreements.

VanHooseCo has been included in the Company’s Precast Concrete Products segment.

Acquisition Summary

Each transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under U.S.

GAAP which requires an acquiring entity to recognize, with limited exceptions, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at fair value as of the acquisition date.

Goodwill primarily represents the value paid for each acquisition’s enhancement to the Company’s product and service offerings and capabilities, as well as a premium payment related to the ability to control the acquired assets, as well as the assembled workforce provided.

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

The table below summarizes the Company’s results as though the VanHooseCo acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2022.

Certain of VanHooseCo’s historical amounts were reclassified to conform to the Company’s financial presentation of operations, which included recording inventory and property, plant, and equipment at fair market value, to establish intangible assets, to remove deferred compensation expense, and to include interest expense for the additional borrowings.

The following unaudited pro forma information is provided for informational purposes only and does not represent what consolidated results of operations would have been had the VanHooseCo acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022 nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations.

The Company has omitted the prior year interim period from the table below due to the acquired company being a privately-held entity with limited interim financial information.

Total $ 4,561 $ 1,750

The Company made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the VanHooseCo and Skratch acquisitions as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

See Note 14 for a description of the fair value hierarchy.

Due to the timing of the acquisitions, values shown in the table above are preliminary.

If new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement recognized for assets or liabilities assumed, the Company will retrospectively adjust the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date.

Divestiture Summary

On August 1, 2022, the Company divested the assets of its rail spikes and anchors track components business (“Track Components”) located in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada.

Cash proceeds from the transaction were $ 7,795 , subject to indemnification obligations and working capital adjustments.

The Track Components business was reported in the Rail Products business unit within the Rail, Technologies, and Services segment.

On September 24, 2021, the Company executed the sale of its Piling Products division for $ 23,902 in total proceeds.

The sale included substantially all inventory held by the Company associated with the division.

The Piling Products division was included in the Fabricated Steel business unit within the Steel Products and Measurement segment.

Revenue from products or services provided to customers over time accounted for 23.8 % and 35.8 % of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 27.0 % and 29.7 % of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The majority of revenue under these long-term agreements is 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 its performance to date under the terms of the contract.

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, as amended, modifies the prior revolving credit facility, as amended, on terms more favorable to the Company and extends the maturity 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.

1 unchanged sentence

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 points, (b) the Prime Rate, or (c) the Daily LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points so long as the Daily LIBOR Rate is offered, ascertainable, and not unlawful (each as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The base rate and LIBOR rate spreads range from 25 to 125 basis points and 125 to 225 basis points, respectively.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement as amended, will bear interest at rates based upon either the base rate or SOFR rate plus applicable margins.

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, and (ii) 3.50 to 1.00 for all testing periods occurring during an Acquisition Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (b) Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, defined as the Company’s consolidated EBITDA divided by the Company’s Fixed Charges (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which must be more than 1.05 to 1.00.

The Credit Agreement permits the Company to pay dividends and make distributions and redemptions with respect to its stock provided no event of default or potential default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred prior to or after giving effect to the dividend, distribution, or redemption.

Additionally, the Credit Agreement permits the Company to complete acquisitions so long as (a) no event of default or potential default has occurred prior to or as a result of such acquisition;

(b) the liquidity of the Borrowers is not less than $ 15,000 prior to and after giving effect to such acquisition;

and (c) the aggregate consideration for the acquisition does not exceed:

(i) $ 50,000 per acquisition, so long as the Gross Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 2.75 after giving effect to such acquisition;

or (ii) $ 75,000 per acquisition, so long as the Gross Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 1.75 after giving effect to such acquisition.

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

The Company's provision for income taxes for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 included a discrete income tax expense of $ 330 for a change in our permanent reinvestment assertion with respect to the undistributed earnings in Canada, as a result of the divestiture of our Track Components business located in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada.

In addition to the impact of the discrete items, the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, research tax credits and withholding taxes on excess cash available for repatriation from foreign affiliates.

Changes in pre-tax income projections, combined with the seasonal nature of our businesses, could also impact the effective income tax rate.

Due to the full valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets, the Company's tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 does not reflect any tax benefit for domestic pre-tax losses, and is primarily comprised of taxes on our Canadian and United Kingdom operations.

The Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against its U.S.

deferred tax assets, which is likely to result in significant variability of the effective tax rate in the current year.

Changes in pre-tax income projections, combined with the seasonal nature of our businesses, could also impact the effective income tax rate each quarter.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

The fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations.

The fair value hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions of what market participants would use.

The Company determines the fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy includes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as described below:

Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Cash equivalents - Included in “Cash and cash equivalents” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are investments in non-domestic term deposits.

The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.

SOFR-based interest rate swaps - To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on outstanding variable-rate debt, the Company amended and entered into forward-starting SOFR-based interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $ 20,000 and $ 20,000 effective August 12, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps are based on market-observable forward interest rates and represents the estimated amount that the Company would pay to terminate the agreements.

As such, the swap agreements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the interest rate swaps were recorded in “Other current assets” when the interest rate swaps’ fair market value are in an asset position, and "Other accrued liabilities" when in a liability position within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
