Commenting on the announcement, Dr. J. Don Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "2012 has been a year of uncertainty for the U.S. economy. Although Congress finally passed a new 27-month Federal highway funding bill in July, it was too late in the 2012 construction season to have an impact. Without the certainty of Federal infrastructure spending, many of our customers were reluctant to make capital expenditures. With the Federal highway funding bill in place we hope to see the release of some of the pent up demand in preparation for the 2013 construction season. In spite of the uncertainty in the general economy, we continued to develop new and innovative products, expand our markets and develop more efficient ways to build our products."
Dr. Brock continued, "Although we were pleased to declare and pay a special dividend of $1.00 per share during the fourth quarter of 2012, we continue to focus on finding the right acquisitions and expansion opportunities. We have put our capital to work with new manufacturing tools at many of our companies. We look forward to completing our factory in Brazil and shipping our first wood pelletizer order in 2013. As the economy begins to recover we will be poised to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves."
