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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 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, IOS 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 IOS Test and Inspection Services business as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented. The IOS 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 35.8% and 32.2% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 29.7% and 27.9% of revenue for the nine months ended September 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 $30,314 and $27,316 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $79,109 and $76,606 for the nine months ended September 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 $16,262 and $10,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was $40,013 and $29,833 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had contract assets of $41,164 and $37,843, respectively, that were recorded in “Inventories - net” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had contract liabilities of $4,840 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 64.2% and 67.8% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 70.3% and 72.1% of revenue for the nine months ended September 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 following table summarizes the Company’s net sales by major product and service category for the periods presented:

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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 have been reduced by an allowance for credit losses of $523 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 income of $145 and expense of $63 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and income of $127 and expense of $221 for the nine months ended September 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.
14

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 |  | (127) |
Write-off against allowance |  | (294) |
Balance as of September 30, 2021 |  | $ | 523 |

Note 7. Inventory
Inventories as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are summarized in the following table:

|  | September 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Finished goods |  | $ | 29,597 |  |  | $ | 60,766 |
Contract assets |  | 41,164 |  |  | 37,843 |
Work-in-process |  | 9,767 |  |  | 5,143 |
Raw materials |  | 28,367 |  |  | 12,708 |
Inventories - net |  | $ | 108,895 |  |  | $ | 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 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.
On September 24, 2021, the Company executed the sale of its Piling Products division for $23,902 in total expected proceeds. The sale included substantially all inventory held by the Company associated with the division. The Piling Products division is included in the Fabricated Steel business unit within the Infrastructure Solutions business segment.

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.

Table of Contents
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 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, and (b) Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, defined as the Company’s consolidated EBITDA divided by the Company’s Fixed Charges, 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 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 September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement, as amended.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $665 and had net available borrowing capacity of $97,067, subject to covenant restrictions. The maturity date of the facility is August 13, 2026.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 differ 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 $587 and $604 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and expense of $1,800 and $1,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards approximated $3,647. The Company expects to recognize this expense over the upcoming 3.4 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, including those granted to non-employee directors. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021:

|  | Restricted Stock |  | Deferred Stock Units |  | Performance Share Units |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

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 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest rate swaps were recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.
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 three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $244 and $178, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $724 and $468, 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.
Note 15. Retirement Plans
Retirement Plans
The Company has three retirement plans that cover its hourly and salaried employees in the United States: 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 applicable to each respective plan. The Company’s policy is to contribute at least the minimum in accordance with the funding standards of ERISA.
The Company maintains two defined contribution plans for its employees in Canada, as well as one post-retirement benefit plan. The Company also maintains two defined contribution plans and one defined benefit plan for its employees in the United Kingdom.

Union Pacific Railroad (“UPRR”) Concrete Tie Matter
On March 13, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary, CXT Incorporated (“CXT”), entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with UPRR to resolve the pending 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 pre-judgment interest, which began with a $2,000 immediate payment, and with the remaining $48,000 paid in installments over a six-year period commencing on the effective date of the Settlement Agreement through December 2024 pursuant to a Promissory Note. Additionally, commencing in January 2019 and through December 2024, UPRR agreed to purchase and has been purchasing 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 March 13, 2019 per letters of intent under the Settlement Agreement. 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 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.
The expected payments under the UPRR Settlement Agreement for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2021 and thereafter are as follows:

Year Ending December 31, |  |
Remainder of 2021 |  | $ | 4,000 |
2022 |  | 8,000 |
2023 |  | 8,000 |
2024 |  | 8,000 |
Total |  | $ | 28,000 |

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.
23

Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company maintained environmental reserves approximating $2,481 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 |  | (81) |
Balance as of September 30, 2021 |  | $ | 2,481 |

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 September 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 September 30, 2021, no such disclosures were considered necessary.
Note 17. Subsequent Events
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company implemented operational changes in how its CODM manages its businesses, including resource allocation and operating decisions. As a result of these changes, the Company is assessing its segment presentation. The Company will reflect changes to its operating segment disclosures, if any, in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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” (“MD&A”). Forward-looking statements provide management’s current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events that involve inherent risks and uncertainties and may concern, among other things, 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, including the impact of any worsening of the pandemic, or the emergence of new variants of the virus, on our financial condition or results of operations, 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, including vaccine mandates; volatility in the prices of oil and natural gas and the related impact on the upstream and midstream energy markets, which could result in further cost mitigation actions, including additional 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 travel and demand for oil and gas, the volatility 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 compliance with anti-corruption and bribery laws, foreign currency fluctuations and inflation, and trade 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 third quarter of 2021 disposition of the Piling Products business, 2020 disposition of the IOS Test and Inspection Services business 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, including as experienced in 2020, which could disrupt our business and may result in misuse or misappropriation of confidential or proprietary information, and could result in the significant disruption or damage to our systems, increased costs and losses, or an adverse effect to our reputation; the effectiveness of our continued 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 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, or as updated and/or amended by our other current or periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General Overview and Business Update
L.B. Foster Company (“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, fabricated bridge, protective coating, threading, and precision measurement offerings across North America.
On September 24, 2021, the Company executed 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 business unit within the Infrastructure Solutions business segment. The Piling Products division revenues were $16,310 and $14,823 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $59,201 and $45,882 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $130,053, an $11,688 increase, or 9.9%, compared to the prior year quarter. The sales increase was primarily attributable to the Company’s Rail segment, which increased by 15.6% over the prior year quarter. The $9,954 increase in the Rail segment was attributable to an increase in rail distribution 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 easing of pandemic related restrictions in that region. The $1,734 increase in the Infrastructure Solutions segment was attributable to increases in both its Precast Concrete Products and Fabricated Steel Products business units, partially offset by the Coatings and Measurement business unit, which continues to face a challenging environment in the midstream energy market due to excess infrastructure pipeline capacity.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2021 was $22,276, a $215 increase, or 1.0%, from the prior year quarter. The 17.1% consolidated gross profit margin decreased by 150 basis points when compared to the prior year quarter, with the decline attributable to both segments. Gross profit increased in the Rail segment by $971, driven by the $9,954 increase in revenues. The 140 basis point decline in gross profit margin in the Rail segment was primarily attributable to product mix in its Rail Technologies business unit during the quarter. In the Infrastructure Solutions segment, gross profit declined from the prior year quarter by $756, primarily driven by the decrease in revenues in the Coatings and Measurement business line. Infrastructure Solution gross profit margin was down 180 basis points compared to last year’s third quarter.
Selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2021 increased by $2,990, or 17.5%, from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by increases in personnel related costs, including travel and entertainment expenses, as well as costs associated with the Company’s strategic initiatives. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased by 100 basis points from the prior year quarter to 15.4%.
Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2021 was $2,240, or $0.21 per diluted share, a reduction of $14,338, or $1.35 per diluted share, from the prior year quarter. The third quarter of 2021 was favorably impacted by a gain of $2,046, net of tax, on the sale of the Piling Products division. The prior year quarter was favorably impacted by a non-recurring income tax benefit of $15,824 resulting from the sale of the IOS Test and Inspection Services business.
The Company’s consolidated backlog was $231,726 as of September 30, 2021, a decrease of $3,464, or 1.5%, from the prior year period. The divestiture of the Piling Products business unit during the quarter resulted in a $23,890 decline in backlog versus last year. This backlog decline was partially offset by a $20,867 increase in the Precast Concrete Products business unit, which continues to benefit from infrastructure investment. The current inflationary cost environment, including labor rates, is expected to continue to put pressure on margins across our businesses, particularly in the Precast Concrete Products and Fabricated Steel Products businesses. Actions to mitigate these impacts as much as possible are on going. In addition, the Company continues to take proactive steps to manage disruptions in raw materials, labor, supply chain, service partner, and other lingering COVID-related effects in an attempt to mitigate their adverse impact as much as possible. The Coatings and Measurement business line continues to be affected by the ongoing deferral of infrastructure investment in the midstream pipeline markets despite rising energy prices. Certain areas of this business have experienced some modest improvement in the current quarter with backlog increasing by $4,056 compared to September 30, 2020. 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 increased modestly year-over-year by $756 driven by increases in the Rail Products business unit, new orders for this segment increased by 22.6% compared to the prior year quarter. Global ridership has improved, but levels remain depressed and well below pre-pandemic levels, a trend which is expected to continue to adversely impact the Company’s friction management consumable sales, particularly in international markets. However, 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.
The Company expects its businesses will continue to directly benefit from infrastructure investment activity, particularly if a U.S. Federal infrastructure bill is passed by Congress. Additionally, with the proceeds from the Piling Products division divestiture coupled with the additional flexibility and capacity resulting from its recently amended credit agreement, the Company believes that it has significant funding capacity to execute on organic and acquisitive growth opportunities in 2022 and beyond.

Third Quarter 2021 Compared to Third Quarter 2020 – Company Analysis
Net sales of $130,053 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $11,688, or 9.9%, compared to the prior year quarter. The sales growth was attributable to a $9,954, or 15.6%, increase in the Rail Technologies and Services segment and an increase in the Infrastructure Solutions segment of $1,734, or 3.2%. The increased sales were driven by new rail delivery volume, easing of pandemic restrictions in the U.K. leading to an uptick in operational activity, and increased demand in our Fabricated Steel Products and Precast Concrete Products business units.
Gross profit increased by $215 compared to the prior year quarter to $22,276 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit was attributable to the Rail Technologies and Services segment, which increased by 7.5% over the prior year quarter. The increase was partially offset by Infrastructure Solutions segment, which decreased by 8.3%, driven primarily by the year-over-year decline in sales in the Coatings and Measurement business unit. Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 17.1%, or 150 basis points (“bps”) lower than the prior year quarter, realized in both segments.
Selling and administrative expenses increased by $2,990, or 17.5%, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in expense was primarily driven by an increase of $1,698 in personnel expenses, including travel and entertainment, and $898 in third-party professional service expenses primarily related to the Company’s strategic initiatives. As a percent of sales, selling and administrative expenses increased by 100 bps compared to the prior year quarter. Other income - net increased by $2,671 compared to the prior year quarter, due to the $2,741 gain on sale of the Piling Products division in the current year quarter.

Third Quarter 2021 Compared to Third Quarter 2020
The Rail Technologies and Services segment sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $9,954, or 15.6%, 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 $7,853, or 19.4%, and $2,101, or 8.9%, respectively, from the prior year quarter. The increase in the Rail Products business line was driven by the increase in rail distribution sales, while the increase in the Rail Technologies business unit was related to increases in our European operations attributable to increased contract service revenue following the easing of pandemic related restrictions, as well as an increase in North American friction management sales stemming from a modest recovery in markets served.
The Rail Technologies and Services segment gross profit increased by $971, or 7.5%, from the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by increased sales volume across both business units. Segment gross profit margin decreased by 140 bps as a result of revenue increases in our lower-margin distribution business and inflationary cost pressure versus the prior year quarter. Segment profit was $3,555, a $187 decrease over the prior year quarter. Selling and administrative expenses incurred by the segment increased by $834 compared to the prior year period, primarily attributable to increased personnel related costs, as well as increased travel costs.
During the current quarter, the Rail Technologies and Services segment had an increase in new orders of 22.6% compared to the prior year period, driven mostly by the Rail Products business unit, although improvements were realized in both business units. Backlog as of September 30, 2021 was $109,815, an increase of $756, or 0.7%, from September 30, 2020, driven by increases in the Rail Products business unit. Backlog remains strong, and was above pre-pandemic levels as of September 30, 2021.

Table of Contents
The Infrastructure Solutions segment sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $1,734, or 3.2%, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues for the third quarter of 2021 was attributable to increases in both its Fabricated Steel and Precast Concrete Products business units, which had increases in sales compared to the prior year quarter of $3,672, or 16.6%, and $2,227, or 14.1%, respectively. These increases in revenues were partially offset by the Coatings and Measurement business unit, which experienced a sales reduction of $4,165 compared to the quarter ended September 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.
Infrastructure Solutions gross profit decreased by $756, or 8.3%, 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 180 bps for the third quarter of 2021 when compared to the prior year quarter. Additionally, inflationary cost pressure in the current quarter negatively impacted the gross profit margins of the Precast Concrete Products and Fabricated Steel Products businesses. Other income for the third quarter of 2021 increased by $2,671 when compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the Piling Products division sale in the current quarter which resulted in a gain of $2,741. The segment profit of $3,484 was an improvement of $1,109 from the prior year quarter segment profit of $2,375.
During the quarter, the Infrastructure Solutions segment had an decrease in new orders of 11.5% compared to the prior year quarter, driven by a decrease in Fabricated Steel Products, which was partially offset by an increase in Precast Concrete Products. Backlog as of September 30, 2021 was $121,911, a decrease of $4,220, or 3.3%, from September 30, 2020 driven entirely by Fabricated Steel Products, with the decrease in backlog related to the divested Piling Products division representing $23,890 of the decrease. The decline in the Fabricated Steel Products backlog was partially offset by increases in both Precast Concrete Products and Coatings and Measurement backlog compared to September 30, 2020. Adjusting for the Piling Products division divestiture, Infrastructure Solutions backlog was up $19,670, or 19.6%.

The Rail Technologies and Services segment sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $19,825, or 9.5%, compared to the prior year period, driven by increases in the Rail Products and Rail Technologies business units of $11,830, or 8.2%, and $7,996 or 12.4%, respectively. The sales increase was primarily driven by rises in demand due to more favorable conditions in markets served for the first nine months of 2021 versus the first nine months of 2020, as the pandemic impact on freight and transit activity began to modestly improve.
The Rail Technologies and Services segment gross profit increased by $2,923, or 7.2%, from the prior year period. The increase was driven by increased sales volume across both business units, including increases related to activity on the London Crossrail project. Segment gross profit margin of 19.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 declined by 40 basis points when compared to the prior year period, driven by volume increases in lower margin rail products coupled with some inflationary cost pressures. Segment profit was $12,050, a $1,321 increase over the prior year period. Selling and administrative expenses incurred by the segment increased by $161 compared to the prior year period, primarily attributable to personnel related costs. Other income declined $1,138 from the prior year period primarily from the reversal of an estimated disposal liability in the prior year period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Rail Technologies and Services segment had an increase in new orders of 2.7% compared to the prior year period. The increase was related to increased order activity within the Company’s Rail Technologies business unit.

Infrastructure Solutions gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $8,977, or 27.3%, from the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in sales volume in the Coatings and Measurement business unit, which accounted for the overall segment gross profit decline, and was also the primary driver of segment gross profit margin decline of 510 bps for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the prior year period. Additionally, inflationary cost pressure in the current period negatively impacted the gross profit margins of the Precast Concrete Products and Fabricated Steel Products businesses. Selling and administrative expenses for the segment declined by $1,095 from the prior year period, primarily from decreases in personnel related expenses, bad debt expense, and general administrative expenses. Other income increased by $4,269 from the prior year period primarily due to the Piling Products division sale in the current period resulting in a gain of $2,741, while the prior year period was impacted by relocation and restructuring costs. The segment profit of $5,165 was a reduction of $3,671 from the prior year period segment profit of $8,836.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Infrastructure Solutions segment had an increase in new orders of 6.7% compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by an increase in Precast Concrete Products partially offset by Fabricated Steel Products.
Other
Segment Backlog
Total Company backlog is summarized by business segment in the following table for the periods indicated:

|  | September 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020 |  | September 30, 2020
Rail Technologies and Services |  | $ | 109,815 |  |  | $ | 121,231 |  |  | $ | 109,059 |
Infrastructure Solutions |  | 121,911 |  |  | 127,001 |  |  | 126,131 |
Total backlog |  | $ | 231,726 |  |  | $ | 248,232 |  |  | $ | 235,190 |

The backlog for Infrastructure Solutions includes $1,961, $32,042, and $25,851 related to the divested Piling Products division as of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, respectively, in the above table.
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 $130,000. 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 $32,453 and $45,024 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was primarily comprised of borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents
The following table reflects available funding capacity, subject to covenant restrictions, as of September 30, 2021:

|  | September 30, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents |  |  |  | $ | 6,405 |
Credit agreement: |  |  |  |
Total availability under the credit agreement |  | 130,000 |  |  |
Outstanding borrowings on revolving credit facility |  | (32,268) |  |  |
Letters of credit outstanding |  | (665) |  |  |
Net availability under the revolving credit facility |  |  |  | 97,067 |
Total available funding capacity |  |  |  | $ | 103,472 |

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 September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

|  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
|  | 2021 |  | 2020
Net cash (used in) provided by continuing operating activities |  | $ | (6,810) |  |  | $ | 16,201 |
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing investing activities |  | 18,910 |  |  | (8,688) |
Net cash used in continuing financing activities |  | (13,030) |  |  | (11,147) |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents |  | 24 |  |  | (571) |
Net cash used in discontinued operations |  | (253) |  |  | (662) |
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | (1,159) |  |  | $ | (4,867) |

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash flows used in continuing operating activities were $6,810, compared to cash flows provided by continuing operating activities of $16,201 during the prior year to date period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net income from continuing operations and adjustments to net income from continuing operating activities provided $13,880, compared to $26,841 in the 2020 period. Working capital and other assets and liabilities used $20,690 in the current period, compared to $10,640 in the prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company made payments of $4,000 under the terms of the concrete tie settlement agreement with Union Pacific Railroad.
The Company’s calculation for days sales outstanding at September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $3,568 and $7,650, respectively. The current period expenditures primarily relate to the expansion of the Precast Concrete Products business line in Texas and the implementation of the SAP ERP system at additional Company divisions. Expenditures for the nine months ended September 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received proceeds of $22,707 from the disposition of the Piling Products division.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a reduction in outstanding debt of $12,519 and $9,033, respectively. The decrease in debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was the result of the application of the proceeds of the Piling Products division, while the decrease in 2020 was primarily attributable to the utilization of excess cash generated through operating activities. Treasury stock acquisitions of $549 and $1,660 for the nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2021, the Company had $6,405 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 September 30, 2021, approximately $3,141 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 needs, and its borrowing capacity. As of September 30, 2021, its revolving credit facility had $97,067 of net availability, while the Company had $32,453 in total debt. The Company’s current ratio as of September 30, 2021 was 1.99 compared to 2.05 as of December 31, 2020.
On August 13, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which increases the total commitments under the revolving credit facility to $130,000 from $115,000, extends the maturity from April 30, 2024 to August 13, 2026, and provides more favorable covenant terms. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest rates based upon either the base rate or LIBOR rate plus applicable margins. 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.
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 28, 2017 and March 1, 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 2020, the Company dedesignated its cash flow hedges and now accounts for the $50,000 tranche of interest rate swaps on a mark-to-market basis with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the swap liability was $445 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 September 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 nine months ended September 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.
