NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
Note 1. Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ('GAAP') for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all estimates and adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals, unless otherwise stated herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of L.B. Foster Company and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 have been included. However, actual results could differ from those estimates and changes in those estimates are recorded when known. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in L.B. Foster Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to 'we,' 'us,' 'our,' and the 'Company' refer collectively to L.B. Foster Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes principally to conform to the presentation of the current year period. Effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company classified IOS Acquisitions, LLC and subsidiaries ('Test and Inspection Services') as a discontinued operation. Effective for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, 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 now has two operating segments, Rail Technologies and Services and Infrastructure Solutions, representing the individual businesses that are run separately under the new structure. 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 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 provides products and services for the rail industry and solutions to support critical infrastructure projects. The Company's innovative engineering and product development solutions address the safety, reliability, and performance of its customers' challenging requirements. The Company maintains locations in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. The Company's 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 uses such information to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. Operating segments are evaluated on their segment profit contribution to the Company's consolidated results. Other income and expenses, interest, income taxes, and certain other items are managed on a consolidated basis. The Company's segment accounting policies are described in Note 2 Business Segments of the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2020.

Note 3. Discontinued Operations
On September 4, 2020, the Company completed the sale of the issued and outstanding membership interests of its upstream oil and gas test and inspection business, Test and Inspection Services. Proceeds from the sale were $4,000 and resulted in a loss of $10,034, net of tax. The Company has reflected the results of operations of the Test and Inspection Services business as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented. The Test and Inspection Services business was historically included in the legacy Tubular and Energy segment, whose remaining divisions are now included as part of the Infrastructure Solutions segment.

Note 4. Revenue
Revenue from products or services provided to customers over time accounted for 27.9% and 25.1% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 26.8% and 25.9% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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. Revenue recognized over time using an input measure was $27,687 and $24,858 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $48,795 and $49,290 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A certain portion of the Company's revenue recognized over time under these long-term agreements is recognized using an output method, specifically units delivered, based upon certain customer acceptance and delivery requirements. Revenue recognized over time using an output measure was $15,487 and $10,688 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was $23,751 and $19,033 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had contract assets of $40,496 and $37,843, respectively, that were recorded in 'Inventories - net' within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had contract liabilities of $6,098 and $1,324, respectively, that were recorded in 'Deferred revenue' within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The majority of the Company's revenue is from products transferred and services rendered to customers at a point in time. Point in time revenue accounted for 72.1% and 74.9% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 73.2% and 74.1% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time at which the customer obtains control of the product or service, which is generally when the product title passes to the customer upon shipment or the service has been rendered to the customer. In limited cases, title does not transfer and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the products at a physical location.

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

Significant changes in contract assets during the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted from transfers of $18,049 from the contract assets balance as of December 31, 2020 to receivables. Significant changes in contract liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted from increases of $5,524 due to billings in excess of costs, excluding amounts recognized as revenue during the period. Contract liabilities were reduced due to revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 of $228 and $1,237, respectively, and revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 of $904 and $3,851, respectively, which were included in contract liabilities at the beginning of each period.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $253,231 of obligations under new contracts and remaining performance obligations, which is also referred to as backlog. Approximately 10.8% of the June 30, 2021 backlog was related to projects that are anticipated to extend beyond June 30, 2022.

Note 6. Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit based upon an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and, while collateral is not required, the Company periodically receives surety bonds that guarantee payment. Credit terms are consistent with industry standards and practices. The amounts of trade accounts receivable as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 have been reduced by an allowance for credit losses of $780 and $944, respectively. Changes in reserves for uncollectible accounts, which are recorded as part of 'Selling and administrative expenses' within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, resulted in expense of $40 and $221 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and expense of $18 and $307 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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 considers 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.

13
Table of Contents
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 impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management maintains high-quality credit review practices as well as positive customer relationships that further mitigate credit risk.

The following table sets forth the Company's allowance for credit losses:
Allowance for Credit Losses
Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 944
Current period provision 18
Write-off against allowance (182)
Balance as of June 30, 2021 $ 780
Note 7. Inventory
Inventories as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are summarized in the following table:
June 30,
2021 		December 31,
2020
Finished goods $ 47,474 $ 60,766
Contract assets 40,496 37,843
Work-in-process 4,527 5,143
Raw materials 21,739 12,708
Inventories - net $ 114,236 $ 116,460

Inventories of the Company are valued at average cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Contract assets consist of costs and earnings in excess of billings, retainage, and other unbilled amounts generated when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer.

The Company records appropriate provisions related to the allowance for credit losses associated with contract assets, as these assets held in inventory will convert to trade receivables once the customer is billed under the contract to which they pertain. Provisions are recorded based on the specific review of individual contracts as necessary, and a standard provision is recorded over any remaining contract assets pooled together based on similar low risk of credit loss. The development of these provisions are 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 patterns observed in recent years. These expectations were formed based on trends observed as well as current and expected future conditions.
Note 8. Property, Plant, and Equipment

The Company reviews its property, plant, and equipment for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if it believes that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. There were no impairments of property, plant, and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

On June 26, 2020, the Company, its domestic subsidiaries, and certain of its Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries (collectively, the 'Borrowers'), entered into the First Amendment (the 'First Amendment') to its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the 'Credit Agreement') with PNC Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank, N.A., and BMO Harris Bank, N.A. The First Amendment modified the Credit Agreement, which had a maximum revolving credit line of $140,000 and provided for a $25,000 term loan of which $22,500 remained outstanding as of June 26, 2020. The First Amendment provided for a reduction in the 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 is 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 provides additional $5,000 annual reductions to the revolving credit facility that began on December 31, 2020 through the maturity of the facility on April 30, 2024.

Borrowings under the First Amendment bear interest at rates based upon either the base rate or Euro-rate plus applicable margins. The applicable margins have been adjusted as part of the First Amendment and are dictated by the ratio of the Company's total net indebtedness to the Company's consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ('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 Euro-rate plus 100 basis points (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) and an increase to the interest rate floor to 100 basis points. The base rate and Euro-rate spreads range from 100 to 200 basis points and 200 to 300 basis points, respectively.

The First Amendment further provides for modifications to the financial covenants as defined in the Credit Agreement. The First Amendment modified three financial covenants in the Credit Agreement: (a) Maximum Gross Leverage Ratio, defined as the Company's Consolidated Indebtedness divided by the Company's Consolidated EBITDA, which must not exceed, other than during a
16
Table of Contents
period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company beginning with a fiscal quarter during which the Company consummates a permitted acquisition, and including such fiscal quarter and the immediately three succeeding fiscal quarters (the 'Acquisition Period'), (i) 3.25 to 1.00 for the testing period ended June 30, 2020, 3.00 to 1.00 for the testing periods ending September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2022, and 2.75 to 1.00 for the testing periods June 30, 2022 and thereafter, and (ii) 3.50 to 1.00 for the testing period ended June 30, 2020, 3.25 to 1.00 for the testing periods ending September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2022, and 3.00 to 1.00 for the testing periods ending June 30, 2022 and thereafter occurring during an Acquisition Period; (b) Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, defined as the Company's Consolidated EBITDA divided by the Company's Fixed Charges, which must be a minimum of 1.00 to 1.00 for the testing period ended June 30, 2020, 1.05 to 1.00 for the testing periods ending September 30, 2020 through June 30, 2021, 1.15 to 1.00 for the testing periods ending September 30, 2021 through June 30, 2022, and 1.25 to 1.00 for the testing periods ending September 30, 2022 and thereafter; and (c) Minimum Working Capital to Revolving Facility Usage Ratio, defined as the sum of 50% of the inventory and 85% of the accounts receivable of the Borrowers and certain other Guarantors divided by the dollar equivalent sum of the outstanding revolving credit loans, the outstanding swing loans, and the letter of credit obligations (the 'Revolving Facility Usage'), which must not be less than 1.50 to 1.00. In addition, the First Amendment modifies the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to allow for certain additional adjustments. The First Amendment also includes changes to the non-financial covenants as defined in the Credit Agreement by increasing the basket for dispositions from $25,000 to $40,000. The Credit Agreement's incremental loan feature permits the Company to increase the available revolving borrowings under the facility by up to an additional $50,000 subject to the Company's receipt of increased commitments from existing or new lenders and the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Company's and the domestic, Canadian, and United Kingdom guarantors' (the 'Guarantors') obligations under the Credit Agreement, as amended, are secured by the grant of a security interest by the Borrowers and Guarantors in substantially all of the personal property owned by such entities. Additionally, the equity interests in each of the loan parties, other than the Company, and the equity interests held by each loan party in its respective domestic subsidiaries, have been pledged to the lenders as collateral for the lending obligations.

The Credit Agreement, as amended, 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, as amended, permits the Company to complete acquisitions so long as (a) no event of default or potential default has occurred prior to or as a result of such acquisition; (b) the liquidity of the Borrowers is not less than $25,000 prior to and after giving effect to such acquisition; and (c) the aggregate consideration for the acquisition did not exceed: (i) $50,000 per acquisition; (ii) $50,000 in the aggregate for multiple acquisitions entered into during four consecutive quarters; and (iii) $100,000 in the aggregate over the term of the Credit Agreement.

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

On January 29, 2021, the Company and the Borrowers entered into the Second Amendment (the 'Second Amendment') to the Credit Agreement, which permits the Company to incur indebtedness to finance insurance premiums in the ordinary course of business and allows for certain liens to secure the financing of insurance premiums. The Second Amendment also modifies the definition of Gross Leverage Ratio and Leverage Ratio in the Credit Agreement to exclude the Indebtedness permitted for the financing of insurance premiums in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,000.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement, as amended.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $497 and had net available borrowing capacity of $77,478, subject to covenant restrictions. The maturity date of the facility is April 30, 2024.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three- and six-month periods ended differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, nondeductible expenses, and research tax credits.
Note 13. Stock-based Compensation
The Company applies the provisions of the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ('ASC') Topic 718, 'Compensation - Stock Compensation,' to account for the Company's stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award and is recognized over the employees' requisite service periods. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and performance share units of $386 and $558 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and expense of $1,213 and $1,238 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards approximated $5,138. The Company expects to recognize this expense over the upcoming 3.7 years through February 2025.

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

Restricted Stock Awards, Performance Share Units, and Performance-based Stock Awards
Under the 2006 Omnibus Plan, the Company grants eligible employees restricted stock and performance share units. The forfeitable restricted stock awards granted generally time-vest ratably over a three-year period, unless indicated otherwise by the underlying restricted stock agreement. Since May 2018, awards of restricted stock have been subject to a minimum one-year vesting period,

Table of Contents
including those granted to non-employee directors. Prior to May 2018, awards to non-employee directors were made in fully-vested shares. Performance share units are offered annually under separate three-year long-term incentive programs. Performance share units are subject to forfeiture and will be converted into common stock of the Company based upon the Company's performance relative to performance measures and conversion multiples, as defined in the underlying program. If the Company's estimate of the number of performance share units expected to vest changes in a subsequent accounting period, cumulative compensation expense could increase or decrease. The change will be recognized in the current period for the vested shares and would change future expense over the remaining vesting period.

Since May 1, 2017, non-employee directors have been permitted to defer receipt of annual stock awards and equity elected to be received in lieu of quarterly cash compensation. If so elected, these deferred stock units will be issued as common stock six months after separation from their service on the Board of Directors. Since May 2018, no non-employee directors have elected the option to receive deferred stock units of the Company's common stock in lieu of director cash compensation.

In February 2021, the Compensation Committee approved the 2021 Performance Share Unit Program and the Executive Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (consisting of cash and equity components). Also in February 2021, the Board of Directors approved a special performance-based stock retention program under the 2006 Omnibus Plan, whereby eligible executives could earn shares of Company common stock provided that the Company's stock price achieves certain enumerated thirty-day average closing stock price hurdles over a five-year performance period. Any shares earned are payable no earlier than the third anniversary of the date of the grant. The program expires on February 28, 2026, after which date no shares may be earned or distributed.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock awards, deferred stock units, and performance share units activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. The fair value hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions of what market participants would use. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as described below:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

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

Cash equivalents -Included 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.

LIBOR-based interest rate swaps- To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on outstanding variable-rate debt, the Company entered into forward starting LIBOR-based interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $50,000. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is based on market-observable forward interest rates and represents the estimated amount that the Company would pay to terminate the agreements. As such, the swap agreements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest rate swaps were recorded in 'Other accrued liabilities' within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Prior to the third quarter of 2020, the Company accounted for the interest rate swaps 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 its cash flow hedges and now accounts for all existing 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 three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $245 and $217, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $480 and $290, respectively, from interest rate swaps.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 820, 'Fair Value Measurement,' the Company measures certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value, which are recognized and disclosed on a nonrecurring basis.

Environmental and Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to national, state, foreign, provincial, and/or local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company's efforts to comply with environmental regulations may have an adverse effect on its future earnings.

On June 5, 2017, a General Notice Letter was received from the United States Environmental Protection Agency ('EPA') indicating that the Company may be a potentially responsible party ('PRP') regarding the Portland Harbor Superfund Site cleanup along with numerous other companies. More than 140 other companies received such a notice. The Company and a predecessor owned and operated a facility near the harbor site for a period prior to 1982. The net present value and undiscounted costs of the selected remedy throughout the harbor site are estimated by the EPA to be approximately $1.1 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, and the remedial work is expected to take as long as 13 years to complete. These costs may increase given that the remedy will not be initiated or completed for several years. The Company is reviewing the basis for its identification by the EPA and the nature of the historic operations of a Company predecessor near the site. Additionally, the Company executed a PRP agreement which provides for a private allocation process among almost 100 PRPs in a working group whose work is ongoing. On March 26, 2020, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order to two parties requiring them to perform remedial design work for that portion of the Harbor Superfund Site that includes the area closest to the facility; the Company was not a recipient of this Unilateral Administrative Order. The Company cannot predict the ultimate impact of these proceedings because of the large number of PRPs involved throughout the harbor site, the size and extent of the 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, potential comparative liability between the allocation parties and regarding non-participants, and the speculative nature of the remediation costs. Based upon information currently available, management does not believe that the Company's alleged PRP status regarding the Portland Harbor Superfund Site or other compliance with the present environmental protection laws will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, competitive position, or capital expenditures of the Company. As more information develops and the allocation process is completed, and given the resolution of factors like those described above, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company maintained environmental reserves approximating $2,524 and $2,562, respectively. The following table sets forth the Company's environmental obligation:
Environmental liability
Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 2,562
Environmental obligations utilized (38)
Balance as of June 30, 2021 $ 2,524

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2021, no such disclosures were considered necessary.

General Overview and Business Update
L.B. Foster Company provides products and services for the rail industry and solutions to support critical infrastructure projects. The Company's innovative engineering and product development solutions address the safety, reliability, and performance of its customers' challenging requirements. The Company maintains locations in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. The Company is organized and operates in two business segments: Rail Technologies and Services ('Rail') and Infrastructure Solutions. The Rail segment is comprised of several manufacturing and distribution businesses that provide a variety of products and services for freight and passenger railroads and industrial companies throughout the world. The Infrastructure Solutions segment is composed of precast concrete products, piling, fabricated bridge, protective coating, threading, and precision measurement offerings across North America.

Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 reflected a $12,959 increase in revenues from the prior year quarter, driven by the strength in the rail, precast concrete products, and fabricated steel products markets reflecting the continuing dissipation of the effects of the pandemic on the Company's results. A portion of the revenue increase during the quarter resulted from projects that, after customer delays, finally moved ahead during the second quarter. Investment in transportation and general infrastructure projects is progressing in the majority of the markets that the Company serves, while both the freight and transit rail markets continue to invest in operational improvements. The Company's transit rail markets have received funding from U.S. federal legislation enacted over the past year to bridge budget shortfalls from lower ridership volume.

Despite the significant increase in revenues, gross profit declined by $1,977 during the quarter driven by the continued deferral of projects in the midstream pipeline markets for protective coatings and measurement systems. While the Company did experience pockets of recovery in this business line during the quarter, the Company's operating margins continue to be impacted by the overall weakness in the midstream energy market. The Company is anticipating that difficulties associated with this business line to continue through at least the remainder of the year. In addition, the Company is continuing to monitor elevated commodity prices, particularly with regard to steel and concrete raw materials, as unanticipated delays in availability of commodities and supplies could have an impact on production and project schedules resulting in prolongation and increased costs. While the Company has taken steps to mitigate the impact of these inflationary pressures on its margins, the elevated prices associated with these products may erode margins associated with certain business lines if prices remain at current levels over an extended period of time.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2021 were $154,522, a $12,959 increase, or 9.2%, compared to the prior year quarter. The sales increase was attributable to the Company's Rail segment, which increased by 18.5% from the prior year quarter. The $13,843 increase in the Rail segment was attributable to a significant increase in new rail sales in the Rail Products business unit during the quarter, coupled with an increase in revenues in the Company's European operations as a result of increased service revenue following the easing of pandemic related restrictions in that region. The $884 decline in the Infrastructure Solutions segment was wholly attributable to the Coatings and Measurement business unit, which continues to face a challenging environment in the midstream energy market due to excess infrastructure pipeline capacity. The decrease in Infrastructure Solutions was partially offset by revenue increases in both its Precast Concrete Products and Fabricated Steel Products business units. The increase in the Precast Concrete Products business unit was partially attributable to the year-over-year increase from its Nampa, ID facility, which was relocated from Spokane, WA in the first quarter of 2020 and had not yet reached full operational efficiency in the prior year quarter.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 was $26,161, a $1,977 decrease, or 7.0%, from the prior year quarter. The consolidated gross profit margin of 16.9% decreased by 300 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter, with the decline attributable to both segments. In the Infrastructure Solutions segment, gross profit declined from the prior year quarter by $3,616, driven by the decline in revenues in the Coatings and Measurement business line. Infrastructure Solution gross profit margin was down 520 basis points compared to last year's second quarter. Gross profit increased in the Rail segment by $1,639, driven by the $13,843 increase in revenues. The 120 basis point decline in gross profit margin in the Rail segment was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes in its distribution business during the quarter.

Selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2021 increased by $897, or 4.8%, from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by increases in professional services of $622. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales decreased to 12.8%, down 50 basis points from the prior year quarter.

Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2021 was $2,854, or $0.27 per diluted share, a reduction of $4,116, or $0.39 per diluted share, from the prior year quarter. The prior year quarter was favorably impacted by the receipt of a non-recurring disbursement from an unconsolidated partnership of $1,428, net of tax.

Backlog in the second quarter of 2021 increased by $28,026 compared to June 30, 2020, driven by a 26.6% increase for the Infrastructure Solutions segment. The backlog for the Precast Concrete Products and Fabricated Steel Products business units increased by $31,005 in the aggregate from prior year as these business units continue to benefit from infrastructure investment in the regions that the Company serves. The Coatings and Measurement business line continues to be affected by the ongoing deferral of

infrastructure investment in the midstream pipeline markets, but has seen some level of recovery in certain areas of this business line, with backlog increasing by $626 compared to June 30, 2020 and increasing by $7,446 since December 31, 2020. However, activity still remains depressed as pipeline projects continue to be deferred, and the outlook for this business line remains weak for at least the remainder of 2021. The primary driver of the year-over-year decline of $3,605 in backlog in the Rail segment was the significant increase in revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The Rail segment new orders declined modestly compared to the prior year quarter with a decrease of 4.0%, but project activity in both the Rail Products and Rail Technologies is healthy, resulting in the Rail segment's backlog remaining above pre-pandemic levels as of June 30, 2021.

The Company's consolidated backlog stood at $253,231 as of June 30, 2021, an increase of $4,999, or 2.0%, from December 31, 2020, and an increase of $28,026, or 12.4%, over the prior year period. The Company continues to see strong order activity for infrastructure projects, with the second quarter of 2021 producing the highest level of order activity for the Company since the fourth quarter of 2019. Pandemic restrictions in the United Kingdom are expected to continue to ease, which we expect to provide for a favorable outlook for our rail operations in Europe for the remainder of 2021, assuming no resumption of such restrictive measures. The Coatings and Measurement business line, which primarily serves midstream energy customers, is expected to remain weak, although the Company has seen pockets of strength in order activity for portions of this business during the second quarter, albeit at compressed margins versus historical levels. This business unit continues to face significant headwinds; further cost mitigation actions, including additional shutdowns or furlough periods, could be implemented in certain divisions of the Coatings and Measurement business unit if order rates do not improve in the coming months. The Company anticipates its Precast Concrete Products and Fabricated Steel business lines to continue to directly benefit from current infrastructure investment trends, as demonstrated by the activity levels in these businesses through the second quarter of 2021, with certain divisions in these business lines operating at near-capacity levels. With its robust backlog and improving commercial and operating environment, the Company remains optimistic about its prospects for year-over-year revenue growth in the second half of 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Compared to Second Quarter 2020 - Company Analysis
Net sales of $154,522 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $12,959, or 9.2%, compared to the prior year quarter. The sales growth was attributable to a $13,843, or 18.5%, increase in the Rail Technologies and Services segment. The increase was partially offset by a sales reduction within the Infrastructure Solutions segment of $884, or 1.3%. The increased sales reflect recovery as the negative effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside, while the weakness in the midstream market continues to negatively impact the Infrastructure Solutions segment sales.

Gross profit decreased by $1,977 compared to the prior year quarter to $26,161 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decline in gross profit was attributable to the Infrastructure Solutions segment, which decreased by 27.6%, driven primarily by the year-over-year decline in sales in the Coatings and Measurement business line. This was partially offset by the Rail Technologies and Services segment's gross profit, which increased by 10.9%. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 16.9%, or 300 basis points ('bps') lower than the prior year quarter, primarily due to Infrastructure Solutions.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $897, or 4.8%, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in expense was primarily driven by an increase of $622 in third-party professional services expenses. As a percent of sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased 50 bps compared to the prior year quarter. Other expenses (income) - net increased by $2,376, or 103.0%, compared to the prior year quarter primarily from non-routine distribution from an unconsolidated partnership of $1,874 received in the prior year quarter.

Second Quarter 2021 Compared to Second Quarter 2020
The Rail Technologies and Services segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $13,843, or 18.5%, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in sales was driven by both the Rail Products and Rail Technologies business units, which increased by $8,068, or 14.3%, and $5,778, or 31.3%, respectively, from the prior year quarter. The increase in the Rail Products business line was driven by an increase in new rail sales as compared to the prior year period. The sales increase in the Rail Technologies business unit was primarily related to increases in our European operations attributable to increased service revenue following the easing of pandemic related restrictions in regions in which the Company operates.

The Rail Technologies and Services segment gross profit increased by $1,639, or 10.9%, from the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by increased sales volume across both business units. Segment gross profit margin decreased by 120 bps as a result of substantial revenue increases in our distribution business during the quarter, which has lower margins relative to the segment as a whole. Segment profit was $5,963, a $147 increase over the prior year quarter. Selling and administrative expenses incurred by the segment increased by $599 compared to the prior year period, primarily attributable to increased employee benefit and travel costs, partially due to the easing of travel restrictions that were experienced in the second quarter of 2020. Other income declined $851 from the prior year quarter primarily from the reversal of an estimated disposal liability in the prior year quarter.

During the current quarter, the Rail Technologies and Services segment had a decrease in new orders of 4.0% compared to the prior year period, driven entirely by the Rail Products business unit, partially offset by an increase in orders within Rail Technologies. Backlog as of June 30, 2021 was $102,580, a decrease of $3,605, or 3.4%, from June 30, 2020, as a result of the increase in sales volume during the quarter compared to new order activity. Backlog remains strong, and was above pre-pandemic levels as of June 30, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Compared to Second Quarter 2020
The Infrastructure Solutions segment sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $884, or 1.3%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decline was wholly attributable to the Coatings and Measurement business unit, which experienced a sales reduction of $11,172 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020, driven by unfavorable conditions in the midstream energy market, which has resulted from the current excess capacity in U.S. pipeline infrastructure and general lack of pipeline infrastructure

investment. Partially offsetting the overall segment sales decline, the Fabricated Steel Products and Precast Concrete Products business units had increases in sales compared to the prior year quarter of $6,643, or 26.0%, and $3,645, or 22.2%, respectively. The increase in the Precast Concrete Products business unit was partially attributable to the year-over-year increase from its Nampa, ID facility, which was relocated from Spokane, WA in the first quarter of 2020 and had not yet reached full operational efficiency in the prior year quarter.

Infrastructure Solutions gross profit decreased by $3,616, or 27.6%, from the prior year quarter. The decline was primarily attributable to decreases in sales volume in the Coatings and Measurement business unit, which accounted for a significant portion of the overall segment gross profit decline, and was also the primary driver of segment gross profit margin decline of 520 bps for the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the prior year quarter. Other expense for the second quarter of 2021 was reduced by $747 when compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the relocation and restructuring activities that occurred in the prior year. The segment profit of $2,347 was a reduction of $2,509 from the prior year quarter segment profit of $4,856.

During the quarter, the Infrastructure Solutions segment had an increase in new orders of 12.6% compared to the prior year quarter, driven by increases in both the Fabricated Steel Products and Coatings and Measurement business units, which were partially offset by order declines in the Precast Concrete Products business unit. Backlog as of June 30, 2021 was $150,651, an increase $31,631, or 26.6%, from June 30, 2020 due to increases in backlog across all business units.

Segment Backlog
Total Company backlog is summarized by business segment in the following table for the periods indicated:
June 30,
2021 		December 31,
2020 		June 30,
2020
Rail Technologies and Services $ 102,580 $ 121,231 $ 106,185
Infrastructure Solutions 150,651 127,001 119,020
Total backlog $ 253,231 $ 248,232 $ 225,205

The Company's backlog represents the sales price of received customer purchase orders and any contracts for 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 have been rare. Backlog should not be considered a reliable indicator of the Company's ability to achieve any particular level of revenue or financial performance. While a considerable portion of the Company's business is backlog-driven, certain product lines within the Company are not driven by backlog as the orders are fulfilled shortly after they are received.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated by operations, and the available capacity under the revolving credit facility, which provides for a total commitment of up to $115,000. The Company's primary needs for liquidity relate to working capital requirements for operations, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and payments related to the Union Pacific Railroad Settlement. The Company's total debt was $37,245 and $45,024 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was primarily comprised of borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The following table reflects available funding capacity, subject to covenant restrictions, as of June 30, 2021:
June 30, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,140
Credit agreement:
Total availability under the credit agreement 115,000
Outstanding borrowings on revolving credit facility (37,025)
Letters of credit outstanding (497)
Net availability under the revolving credit facility 77,478
Total available funding capacity $ 81,618

The Company's cash flows are impacted from period to period by fluctuations in working capital. While the Company places an emphasis on working capital management in its operations, factors such as its contract mix, commercial terms, customer payment patterns, and market conditions as well as seasonality may impact its working capital. The Company regularly assesses its receivables and contract assets for collectability, and provides allowances for credit losses where appropriate. The Company believes that its reserves for credit losses are appropriate as of June 30, 2021, but adverse changes in the economic environment and adverse financial conditions of its customers resulting from, among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic, may impact certain of its customers' ability to access capital and pay the Company for its products and services, as well as impact demand for its products and services.
The changes in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash flows provided by continuing operating activities were $6,842, compared to $8,122 during the prior year to date period. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the net income from continuing operations and adjustments to net income from continuing operating activities provided $9,677, compared to $16,670 in the 2020 period. Working capital and other assets and liabilities used $2,835 in the current period, compared to $8,548 in the prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company made payments of $2,000 under the terms of the concrete tie settlement agreement with Union Pacific Railroad.

The Company's calculation for days sales outstanding at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was 46 and 51 days, respectively, and the Company believes it has a high quality receivables portfolio.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $2,248 and $5,711, respectively. The current period expenditures primarily relate to the expansion of the Precast Concrete Products business line in Texas. Expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the purchase of a continuous welded rail car and unloader within the Rail Technologies and Services segment, facility start-up expenditures within the Infrastructure Solutions segment, and general plant and operational improvements throughout the Company.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a reduction in outstanding debt of $7,767 and $2,597, respectively, primarily attributable to the utilization of excess cash generated through operating activities. Treasury stock acquisitions of $547 and $1,660 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, represent stock repurchases from employees to satisfy their income tax withholdings in connection with the vesting of stock awards.

Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $4,140 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company's cash management priority continues to be short-term maturities and the preservation of its principal balances. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $3,166 of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held in non-domestic bank accounts. The Company principally maintains its cash and cash equivalents in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions.

The Company's principal uses of cash in recent years have been to fund its operations, including capital expenditures, and to service its indebtedness. The Company views its liquidity as being dependent on its results of operations, changes in working capital, and its borrowing capacity. As of June 30, 2021, its revolving credit facility had $77,478 of net availability, while the Company had $37,245 in total debt. The Company's current ratio as of June 30, 2021 was 1.88.

On June 26, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment that reduced the total commitments under the revolving credit facility to $120,000 from $140,000. The First Amendment requires additional $5,000 annual reductions to the revolving credit facility capacity beginning on December 31, 2020 through the maturity of the facility. As a result, the revolving credit facility has $115,000 of total capacity as of June 30, 2021. In addition, the First Amendment terminated the existing term loan by drawing on the revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the First Amendment bear interest rates based upon either the base rate or Euro-rate plus applicable margins, and are subject to an interest rate floor of 100 basis points. The Company believes that the combination of its cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and the capacity under its revolving credit facility should provide the Company with sufficient liquidity to provide the flexibility to operate the business in a prudent manner and enable the Company to continue to service its outstanding debt. For a discussion of the terms and availability of the credit facilities, please refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents
To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on outstanding variable-rate debt, the Company entered into forward starting LIBOR-based interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $50,000. The swaps became effective on February 28, 2017, at which point they effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contract. During 2020, the Company dedesignated its cash flow hedges and now accounts for all existing interest rate swaps on a mark-to-market basis with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the swap liability was $635 and $1,097, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. When more than one accounting principle, or method of its application, is generally accepted, management selects the principle or method that, in its opinion, is appropriate in the Company's specific circumstances. Application of these accounting principles requires management to reach opinions regarding estimates about the future resolution of existing uncertainties. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In preparing these financial statements, management has reached its opinions regarding the best estimates and judgments of the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements giving due regard to materiality. A summary of the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
L.B. Foster Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date such that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or person performing such functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our 'internal control over financial reporting' (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
