“Our 3/31/2023 second quarter and six months fiscal periods were an appreciable improvement over the same periods the prior year. Having experienced previous period of lower demand for our rail products, primarily due to a decline in the U.S. coal mining industry, we are excited by our improved operational results driven by an increase in rails’ products demand and new customer base sales to short line railroads and tunneling contractors, during the first six months of the current fiscal year, when we experienced a 146.1% revenue increase over the same period the prior year.
We are also encouraged by our common share buyback program initiated on February 1, 2023, having repurchased 1,784,645 common shares in the two months period since the program initiation.”
