The Company will broadcast its second quarter 2020 earnings conference call on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at 7:00 a.m. PDT.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nSecond Quarter 2020 Results\nNet sales increased 1.1% to $70.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 from $69.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 due to a $12.4 million contribution from the Company's recently acquired Geneva Pipe Company, Inc. (\"Geneva\") operations. Legacy revenue decreased from the second quarter of 2019 due to a 31% decrease in tons produced as a result of the shut-down of the Company's San Luis Río Colorado (\"SLRC\") facility and changes in project timing, which were partially offset by a 20% increase in selling price per ton.\nGross profit increased 57.7% to $13.0 million, or 18.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2020 from $8.2 million, or 11.9% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to improved product pricing in the Company's steel pressure pipe business and the margin contribution from Geneva. This was partially offset by decreased production volume as well as costs associated with the shut-down of the Company's SLRC facility. Since lifting restrictions previously imposed, the Mexican authorities have allowed for weekly increases to the Company's workforce beginning in June. Additionally, as a result of the fire at the Company's Saginaw facility in April 2019, $1.8 million of business interruption insurance recovery was recorded in the second quarter of 2020,...
