Forward guidance
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on society and the economy. The company continues to operate all of its plants with the exception of the San Luis Río Colorado facility in Mexico which the Mexican government required them to temporarily close. Before purchase accounting associated with the acquisition of Geneva, first quarter revenue and margins were in-line with projections. Steel pressure pipe backlog remains very elevated. The order book for the concrete pipe and precast business is very strong as they head into the traditionally busy time of the year.
Tailwinds
- Plants deemed essential and continue to operate amidst COVID-19.
- More than enough capacity at remaining plants to absorb current and future orders.
- First quarter revenue and margins were in-line with projections.
- Steel pressure pipe backlog remains very elevated by historic standards.
- Order book for the concrete pipe and precast business is very strong.
