Exhibit 99.4

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information (“pro forma financial information”) and related explanatory notes present the historical condensed combined financial information of L.B. Foster Company (“the Company”) and IOS Holdings, Inc. (“IOS”) after giving effect to the Company’s acquisition of IOS that was completed on March 13, 2015.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations (“pro forma statements of operations”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, give effect to the acquisition as if it was consummated on January 1, 2013, the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet (“pro forma balance sheet”) as of September 30, 2014, gives effect to the acquisition as if it was consummated on September 30, 2014.

The historical financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented in accordance with the rules specified by Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, and has been prepared using the assumptions described in the notes thereto.

The historical financial information of the Company has been derived from the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited adjustments to the pro forma combined financial information (‘the pro forma adjustments”) are described in the accompanying explanatory notes. The pro forma adjustments give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the pro forma statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of the Company following the IOS acquisition.

The pro forma financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with L.B. Foster as the acquirer of IOS. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair market values as of the acquisition date with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The Company has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of the IOS assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the related allocations of the purchase price. As a result, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The valuation will be finalized as soon as practicable within the required measurement period, but in no event later than one year following completion of the acquisition. Any increases or decreases in the fair value of these assets and liabilities upon completion of the final valuations will result in adjustments to the pro forma balance sheet and/or statement of operations. The final purchase price allocation may be different than that reflected in the pro forma purchase price allocation presented herein, and this difference may be material.

The historical financial statements of IOS have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications and other adjustments in order to conform to the Company’s financial statement presentation and accounting policies. Further review may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the combined company. However, at this time, we are not aware of any accounting policy differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of the combined company that are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments.

The pro forma financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position of the Company would have been had the transaction occurred on the dates noted above, or to project the future results of operations or financial position of the Company for any future periods.

The pro forma financial information, although helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the Company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings (or associated costs to achieve such savings), opportunities to earn additional revenue, or other factors that may result as a consequence of the IOS acquisition, and accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. Specifically, the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations excludes projected operating efficiencies and synergies expected to be achieved as a result of the IOS acquisition. The pro forma financial information also excludes the effects of costs associated with any restructuring or integration activities or asset dispositions resulting from the IOS acquisition, as they are not expected or were not incurred as of the closing date of the IOS acquisition. Such costs may be material and no assurance can be given that cost savings or synergies will be realized. However, such costs could affect the combined company following the merger in the period the costs are incurred or recorded.

The pro forma financial information has been developed from and should be in read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the pro forma financial information, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the historical financial statements in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the September 30, 2014 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the audited consolidated financial statements of IOS as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Form 8-K/A filed herewith, and the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of IOS as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, included as Exhibit 99.3 to the Form 8-K/A filed herewith.

Note 1.

Basis of Presentation

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)

The pro forma balance sheet of L.B. Foster Company (“L.B. Foster” or the “Company”) as of September 30, 2014 and the pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 give effect to the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of IOS Holdings, Inc. (“IOS”) on March 13, 2015.

The pro forma financial information have been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and IOS. The pro forma financial statements of IOS have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications in order to conform to L.B. Foster’s financial statement presentation. Further review may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies, that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the combined company. However, at this time, we are not aware of any accounting policy differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma financial statements that are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments.

The Company acquired IOS for $167,138, net cash acquired, at closing for IOS, subject to the finalization of the net working capital, indebtedness, cash and transaction expenses adjustments (“transaction adjustments”). Included within the purchase price is a reduction related to the initial transaction adjustments totaling $1,810. The preliminary estimate of additional transaction adjustments is $205 payable to seller for a cumulative $1,605 reduction to purchase price. The acquisition agreement includes an earn-out provision whereby sellers have the ability to earn up to an additional $60,000 dependent upon the acquired business achieving a certain level of EBITDA during the 3-year period beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2017. The Company has not accrued an estimated earn-out obligation based upon a probability weighted valuation model of the projected EBITDA results, which indicates that the minimum target will not be achieved. The purchase price also included escrowed funds of $7,600 in order to secure potential indemnification obligations from the former IOS owners for a period of 18 months.

The acquisition is recorded within the pro forma financial statements under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with business combination accounting guidance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under these standards, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at estimated fair value as defined by the applicable guidance. The adjustments included herein are preliminary as the Company has not finalized the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of fair value of the IOS assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocation of purchase price. The final fair values may differ materially from the information presented. Acquisition transaction costs have not been included as components of consideration, but have been adjusted in the period in which the costs were incurred.

The pro forma financial information were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Article 11. The pro forma financial statements of the combined companies are based upon the historical information of the respective companies after giving effect to the acquisition and adjustments as described in the notes to the financial information. The pro forma balance sheet is presented as if the acquisition occurred on September 30, 2014 and the pro forma statements of income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred January 1, 2013.

Note 2.

Preliminary purchase consideration and related allocation

The estimated consideration for IOS is as follows:

 

Agreement purchase price

$ 170,000  

Preliminary net working capital and estimated cash adjustment

  (1,605

Other adjustments related to insurance payments

  44  

Net cash acquired from IOS

  (1,301
  

 

 

 

Estimated consideration, net of cash acquired

$ 167,138  
  

 

 

 

The net working capital adjustment for the purposes of the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is based on the estimated IOS balance sheet as of March 13, 2015. The net working capital adjustment is expected to be settled in the second quarter of 2015, and the preliminary calculation resulted in a reduction in purchase price.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the fair value of the purchase price for the acquisition assuming the acquisition closed on September 30, 2014:

 

Current assets, net of cash acquired on the acquisition date

$ 25,581  

Property, plant and equipment

  49,736  

Goodwill

  69,624  

Other intangibles

  49,749  

Other non-current assets

  698  

Current liabilities

  (9,060

Other non-current liabilities

  (19,190
  

 

 

 

Total

$ 167,138  
  

 

 

 

The final estimated consideration paid, net of cash acquired, and amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the IOS acquisition, could differ materially from the preliminary amounts presented in these Pro Forma Financial Information. In addition, if the value of the acquired assets is higher than the preliminary indication, it may result in higher amortization and depreciation expense than is presented in these Pro Forma Financial Information. See Note 3 for the effects of changes in estimated fair value of property and equipment to be acquired in the IOS acquisition on the calculation of pro forma depreciation and amortization expense.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the fair value of the other intangibles assets assuming the acquisition closed on September 30, 2014:

 

Trade name

$ 2,641  

Customer relationships

  40,528  

Technology

  4,364  

Non-competition agreements

  2,216  
  

 

 

 

Total intangible assets

$ 49,749  
  

 

 

 

As part of these preliminary estimates, trade name was valued using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach, customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings approach, technology was valued using the relief from royalty method under the income approach, and non-competition agreements were valued using a differential cash flow approach. Amortization expense was calculated using a straight-line method.

The amortization related to these amortizable identifiable intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment to the pro forma combined statement of operations using the straight-line method. Management has determined the estimated remaining useful life of these assets based on its consideration of relevant factors. A 10-year remaining useful life for the trade names has been estimated based on the period in which the Company expects a market participant would use the name prior to rebranding and the length of time the name is expected to maintain recognition and value in the marketplace. A 15-year remaining useful life for customer relationships has been estimated based on the projected economic benefits associated with this asset. The 15-year estimated useful life represents the approximate point in the projection period in which a majority of the asset’s cash flows are expected to be realized based on assumed attrition rates. A 10-year useful life for the technology based upon the length of time that a market participant would be able to leverage the know-how and internal processed developed by IOS. A 2-year remaining useful life for the non-compete agreements has been estimated, based on the contractual term of the agreements with former shareholders of IOS. These assumptions have been

 

7


developed based on discussions with former members of IOS’ management and IOS’ historical customer data. The amount that will ultimately be allocated to these assets, and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation.

The purchase price allocation for property, plant and equipment was based on a preliminary estimate of the fair value of such assets. Depreciation expense in the pro forma combined statement of operations assumes estimated useful lives of 2-39 years based upon asset classification. Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net assets. Goodwill is not amortized to earnings, but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually absent any indicators of impairment.

The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair value to the underlying assess acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill resulting from the preliminary allocation of acquisition consideration is primarily attributable to the nationwide energy platform that IOS provides as well as our ability to control the acquired assets. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with ASC 805, goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if certain indicators of impairment are present.

Note 3.

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet Adjustments

Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Operations Adjustments

The pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations assume that the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2013. The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not included any costs related to the acquisition. In addition, the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not assume any impacts from revenue, costs, or other operating synergies that are expected as a result of the acquisition. Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect amortization of the identified intangible assets for the related periods. Identified intangible assets are being amortized on a basis approximating the economic value derived from those assets.

The pro forma adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations are as follows:

 

j) Adjustments to eliminate IOS’ historical depreciation expense and record the preliminary estimate of depreciation expense. The favorable change in depreciation expense primarily relates to preliminary valuation increases in longer lived assets and reductions in value to shorter lived assets.
