CECO initiated a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) in 2012 that provides for the voluntary reinvestment of dividends by its stockholders


OPERATIONAL SUMMARY

“Overall business conditions in the quarter remained mixed as solid performance in our Energy and Fluid Handling and Filtration segments was offset with lower than expected results in our Air Pollution Control (APC) business.” said Jeff Lang, Chief Executive Officer of CECO. “We continue to invest heavily in our sales excellence initiatives and expect to see better organic growth across all of our business segments as we move into the balance of 2014 and 2015. We did however, experience strong consolidated backlog growth, which increased $10 million from the prior quarter to $106.2 million and bookings in our APC business have been quite strong since the start of the fourth quarter. We were also able to close on a number of key strategic acquisitions, when combined, are expected to generate significant annual revenue and EBITDA which we will discuss on our scheduled conference call."

Jeff Lang also commented, “Our operational excellence initiatives continue to have a positive impact on our business and although our operating profit margin decreased sequentially due to lower revenue and a one-time tax consulting expense of $0.4 million, we remain on track to achieve our full year operating margin target of 14.5% to 15% with additional upside as we go into 2015. We remain focused on building a world class company and creating long-term shareholder value with a balanced approach to growth and a culture focused on operational excellence.”

Jeff Lang, Chief Executive Officer, and Ed Prajzner, Chief Financial Officer, will discuss the Company’s third quarter results during a conference call scheduled for Thursday, November 6, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. EST (7:30 a.m. Central Time).  Supplemental information will be available at CECO’s website at http://www.cecoenviro.com/uploads/CECO_3Q14_Conference_Call.pdf
