first quarter ended March 31, 2009 and additional information
related to segment revenues and profits are attached as addenda to
this press release. Commenting on the announcement, Dr. J. Don
Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In light of
the severe economic downturn, we are pleased with our first quarter
results. The anticipation of the stimulus funding encouraged many
state Departments of Transportation to delay letting jobs for five
to six months starting in October, 2008. As a result many of our
customers completed their open jobs with few new jobs being awarded
by states. In April, we have seen very large numbers of highway
projects being released by the state Departments of Transportation.
We are experiencing an increase in business in our Mobile Group and
continued business in the Asphalt Group. Our other companies
continue to be slow. We believe the economy hit bottom in late
February; however, we believe the recovery will continue to be
slow. During this period our strategy will be to aggressively
develop new products and enhance existing products. We are
developing products that will broaden the number of industries that
we serve and that will be counter cyclical to our existing
businesses. Our strong balance sheet gives us the flexibility to
move forward with product developments that will make us stronger
when the economy recovers." Dr. Brock continued, "Due to the severe
and rapid downturn that occurred in the fourth quarter, our
customers are cautious and are buying equipment only after getting
the jobs. Our lower backlog allows us to react to customer needs
more quickly and will hopefully prevent us from losing sales due to
lengthy deliveries when backlogs are higher." Investor Conference
