Company Guidance
In L.B. Foster's third quarter 2025 earnings call, the company reported modest sales growth of 0.6% year-over-year, driven by a 4.4% increase in their Infrastructure segment, notably with a 12.7% rise in steel products sales. However, rail revenues fell by 2.2%, primarily due to the downsizing of the U.K. business and the timing of rail distribution sales. The quarter saw adjusted EBITDA decline by $1 million, despite a reduction in SG&A costs to 16% of sales. Net income dropped to $4.4 million from $35.9 million the previous year, which had benefited from a $30 million tax valuation release. A highlight was the robust cash generation of $29.2 million from operations, allowing net debt to be reduced to $55.3 million. The company also repurchased 184,000 shares, equating to 1.7% of outstanding shares. With a trailing 12-month book-to-bill ratio of 1.08:1 and a backlog increase of 18.4% to $247.4 million, L.B. Foster anticipates a strong Q4, projecting approximately 25% sales growth.
