Gary Fields, CEO, said "We are pleased to report that our net sales for the third quarter were an all-time record for any quarter in our Company’s history. I am especially proud we achieved these results despite a slow start to the quarter due to a planned maintenance shutdown at our Tulsa facilities during the beginning of July. In addition, the continued challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in higher medical expenses. Our third quarter results demonstrate the ongoing progress in our transition from entrepreneurial leadership to a collaborative team-based management approach and validate our Company’s capability to produce great results even through challenging times. It should also be noted that the record sales along with favorable raw material costs and improved productivity had a significant impact on our gross profit, which increased to 30.3% from 24.1% for the corresponding quarter a year ago."

Mr. Fields continued, "The outlook for 2021 continues to present a lot of uncertainty. The Architecture Billings Index has been down for several months, indicating a decline in construction, which may start to impact the new nonresidential construction market in late 2020. Although construction may decline, our equipment is uniquely positioned to address COVID challenges by providing heightened filtration and sanitation through the use of MERV 13 filters, UV lights and bi-polar ionization installed in the factory. We are beginning to see increases in raw materials costs, which we are offsetting in part with our previously announced price increase, which will be effective January 2021. With approximately 50% of our total sales already represented by the replacement market, we are confident of our ability to grow our market share in the replacement market while we continue to pursue opportunities in the new construction market. With our improved lead times, we have been able to continue our planned reduction of our backlog to a more manageable level and we believe this will also allow our order intake to stay consistent but do not see significant growth opportunities in the near term."

Mr. Fields added "Our financial condition remains strong as evidenced by our current ratio of 3.7:1 at September 30, 2020. We had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $70.6 million as of September 30, 2020. Our capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $49.0 million, as compared to $30.8 million for the same period a year ago, and we anticipate our full-year 2020 capital expenditures will total approximately $73.2 million, with $41.3 million directed to our new facility in Longview Texas."

Mr. Fields concluded, "Our expansion project at our Longview, Texas facility is nearing completion and the new building is expected to be operational by January 2021. This project will not only add 220,000 square feet of additional capacity to the Longview facility, but will also create additional space and capacity at our Tulsa facility for future growth potential."

The Company will host a conference call today at 4:15 P.M. (Eastern Time) to discuss the third quarter 2020 results. To participate, call 1-833-634-8218 (code 1233199); or, for rebroadcast available through November 12, 2020, call 1-855-859-2056 (code 1233199).
