 Decline in NAR gross margins resulting from difficult market conditions
 impacted project performance, magnified by a significant shift to small
 diameter sizes pressured project management and crew operations
 Energy & Mining gross margin declined to 24.5% versus 28.1% in the
 first half of 2010 as much of the revenue growth came from
 regions/areas with lower project margins
 Asia-Pacific gross profit declined as a result of weak margins of 16.9%
 versus 19.9% in the same period of 2010 as older Indian projects
 continued at low margins; this was partially offset by strong results in
 Australia
 Project bidding and release issues along with extreme weather
 throughout the US significantly impacted NAR 2011 revenue,
 contributing to the $21.5 million shortfall when compared to 2010
 Europe exceeded prior year results by 24.3% on strong results in the
 Netherlands, Spain and European manufacturing offset by lower
 revenue in the United Kingdom
 Energy & Mining increased $21.8 million when compared to the same
 period of 2010 on strong growth in UPS and Corrpro

While municipal contracting remains Insituform's largest line of business, other
higher margin products and services are growing in prominence on our expanded
business platform
While Insituform's gross profit margin has improved compared
to previous years, we are focused on offering higher-margin
products and services to drive greater returns to our
stockholders. Insituform's overall LTM gross profit margin was
22.7%, a 14% increase over 2007

Business Units
Individually, these businesses apply their
specialized expertise to solving pipeline
challenges for the sewer, water, oil, gas and
mining industries. Collectively, they give
Insituform the comprehensive capabilities and
experience needed to serve the world’s pipeline
infrastructure. Given the synergies that exist
among them, they create a whole that is greater
than the sum of their parts
The following slides detail the
 accomplishments of our primary
business units:
• Energy & Mining
• North American Sewer Rehabilitation
• European Sewer Rehabilitation
• Asia-Pacific Sewer Rehabilitation
The strength of Insituform’s performance is a
direct reflection of the contributions made by the
business units we operate.

2010 Performance Highlights
Corrpro Companies and United Pipeline Systems (UPS)
experienced record revenues in 2010
The Bayou Companies’ revenues significantly increased
due to expanded service offerings
Backlog in the South American operation of our UPS
business increased to $20 million at December 30, 2010.
UPS’ North American operations also increased revenue by
35.2% to $37.3 million. UPS also opened an office in Oman
early in 2010
2011 Outlook
For 2011 we anticipate robust growth in all of our
Energy & Mining markets around the world
Bayou’s Canadian pipe coating operation exceeded our 2010
expectations, and we expect continued growth in 2011
UPS is on track to continue the momentum of 2010 with
very
strong YTD performance in 2011, with record backlog and
growing strength in South America, Australia and
 the Middle East
Corrpro expects to grow revenues by more than 10%
(1) See Financial Reconciliation on Page A-2
 
 

 
2011 Outlook
We expect municipal sewer markets to continue to be stable,
but bid table will improve in the second half of the year
We will turn around performance through:
 - improve bidding and execution discipline
 - Improve our project management capability
 - Improve our crew deployment discipline
 - focus on larger projects where risk / rewards are more
favorable
 - increase efficiency of operating expenses
We expect continued growth of our third-party tube sales
through more aggressive market penetration

2010 Performance Highlights
Operating income grew due to manufacturing profitability, increased
third-party tube sales and lower operating costs
First half 2011 results severely impacted by extreme weather
conditions along with delayed bid table; project release delays have
impacted project management and crew productivity dramatically
Expect second half recovery with improved backlog and better
execution while project sizes and trend towards small diameter
projects will continue to impact margins to a certain extent

Business Challenges
• Smaller project sizes (approximately $300K)
• Increased percentage of small diameter
projects (+85% ) - most competitive portion of
the market
• Volatile project / work releases
• Municipal customers constrained due to
continued economic headwinds
Initiatives
• Improve estimating / bidding discipline
 - project preparation, market intelligence and
 margin thresholds
• Intense review of crew deployment
 - ensure adequate production in front of crews
 (reduce number of non-productive hours)
 
• Continuous improvement of project management talent
 - better subcontractor management and project
 close-out (improve cash flow)
• Vigilant review of support structure to ensure business
is competitive in a “commodity” market
• More aggressive sales effort for third-party product
sales

We achieved significant cost savings and increased
margins through our 2009 restructuring initiative
Operating margins increased from 4.1% in 2009 to 6.9% for 2010
We initiated production of the InsituMain® System, our
cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) solution for pressure pipelines
We successfully tested a glass-fiber reinforced CIPP
product, which will be manufactured in our UK facility
2011 Outlook
We anticipate growth in the Netherlands, in third-party tube
  sales, and a slight recovery in the United Kingdom and France
We anticipate increasing second half margins through improved
productivity and execution, lower operating costs and a mix
shift that favors product sales over contracting revenues
We will continue to expand our portfolio of trenchless products
and services, including the full commercialization of our glass-
fiber reinforced CIPP product

Performance Highlights
We expanded our presence in Australia
We reorganized our venture in India to become a specialty
contractor performing only lining (improved risk profile and
better cash flow)
To promote tube sales in small-diameter markets, we
have continued our Certified Installer Program™ in
Singapore, Malaysia and China
2011 Outlook
Overall market growth in 2011 is expected to be strong throughout
the Asia-Pacific region. The Indian market should return to normal
conditions (recent project wins), and we anticipate achieving further
expansion into Australia and other newer markets, including Malaysia
Demand for maintenance contracts will likely grow as more
municipalities learn of our services. Sewer pipes are generally older
and in worse condition in this region than in many parts of the world

OPERATING CASH FLOW
$53.5MILLION
Insituform has historically produced strong operating
cash flows, and has increased it from $9.6 million in
2007 to $53.5 million in 2010. Operating cash flow
decreased slightly in 2010 compared to 2009 due to
an increase in our collection cycle as a result of the
global economic downturn. In 2010, many of our
customers, primarily municipalities, increased their
payment cycle
