Management is continually monitoring the precast and construction markets and reacting wherever possible to reduce costs and increase sales. “Management has improved its key operating metrics over the past year and is able to review these metrics on a weekly basics to react better and faster to changes in either market conditions or operations issues in real time.” Ashley Smith, our President and COO of Smith-Midland of Virginia, the Precast Company, said, “Our lean initiatives are beginning to take hold within the Company, but we have a ways to go to achieve the significant profits that we believe Lean will bring to the bottom line.” “Your management team and Board of Directors made several decisions during 2012 considered stockholder-friendly. One recommendation was to pay the Company’s first dividend of $250,000 ($.05 cents per share) in December 2012, and another recommendation was to eliminate the ‘Rights Plan’. We will be giving serious consideration to introducing a stock buy-back program when it is appropriate. “We are dedicated to running the Company with a focus on innovation and research that will benefit our stockholders today and in the future.” Smith-Midland develops, manufactures, licenses, rents, and sells a broad array of precast concrete products for use primarily in the construction, transportation and utilities industries.
