Consolidated financial information for the quarter and year
ended December 31, 2013 and additional information related to
segment revenues and profits are attached as addenda to this press
release.
Commenting on the announcement of quarterly and annual results,
Benjamin G. Brock, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We were
pleased with our bottom line results during the 4th Quarter of
2013, especially given the continued instability in the federal
highway funding. On a positive note, the new turn-key wood pellet
plant in Georgia is operating to our customer's satisfaction. As a
result of its performance, the customer ordered an additional two
lines for $40 million during the fourth quarter. In addition, our
aggregate processing equipment businesses performed well. On the
downside, our Underground Group, which is now focused on supplying
equipment to the oil and gas drilling industry, continued to
struggle in the quarter, and for the year. We believe this group
has developed and is producing superior products, but is battling a
soft market with low demand. We are focused on this group and
working to reverse the unfavorable trends."
Mr. Brock continued, "Orders so far in 2014 have been steady. At
the same time, we have continued to develop new products for the
energy, mining and infrastructure industries. We will display 41
new products at the ConExpo show in Las Vegas during the first week
of March. This will be the largest display in our history of
exhibiting at this event. Our balance sheet remains strong with no
debt and a strong cash position. We are continuing our acquisition
efforts and will work to add companies that represent strategic
fits for our business during 2014."
