Item 8.01    Other Events
L.B. Foster Company (the “Company”) announced on February 16, 2021 several changes to its global business segment reporting structure. The Company’s recent moves are designed to consolidate and better align the organization with future growth strategies.
L.B. Foster’s business portfolio and external business segment reporting structure will be consolidated into two primary segments: Rail Technologies and Services and Infrastructure Solutions. The Rail Technologies and Services segment will consist of businesses previously positioned within the Rail Products and Services segment. The Infrastructure Solutions segment will combine all businesses previously within the legacy Construction Products and Tubular and Energy Services segments. Each segment will report to a business line executive that will have responsibility for the segment’s performance.
In the Rail Technologies and Services segment, the Company has increased its emphasis in developing technology to support new products and services and deliver real benefits to customers with improved efficiency, reduced disruptions, improved passenger comfort and information, and enhanced safety. Core track products are being re-imagined, redesigned, and improved with respect to resiliency and concerns around noise, vibration, and exposure to tough environmental conditions. Leveraging these technologies across new and existing products and geographic markets is a cornerstone of this segment’s growth strategy.
Infrastructure Solutions is positioned to benefit from anticipated investment in a wide range of infrastructure needs including solutions that support transportation, energy, and general infrastructure projects. Growth opportunities exist in several areas across this segment as customers seek partners with unique capabilities to solve problems with a cost effective, innovative approach. This segment provides custom engineered solutions tailored to customer specifications often supporting highly complex projects. Engineering and construction firms and general contractors look to L.B. Foster Infrastructure Solutions for design and application engineering help when addressing needs across highway, bridge, ports, railways, heavy civil, marine, water and storm water, agricultural, commercial, and residential projects. The Company intends to leverage its unique capabilities using fabricated steel, precast concrete, and other systems and services from facilities that commonly manage complex projects.
Included are restated results for 2018, 2019, and the first nine months ended September 30, 2020 to reflect the change in reporting segments.
