“I am very pleased with the results from the third quarter and the ongoing improvement in financial performance that the Company is achieving. CECO’s substantial improvement in performance is a direct result of our focus on favorable product mix changes, better sales price management, global expansion, and our team’s meticulous approach to operational excellence.” commented CECO’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Lang. “Our slightly lower revenues in the quarter are the result of our intentional portfolio pruning of lower margin customer segments that we effected earlier in 2011. In addition, our year-over-year bookings and improved gross margin backlog are improving steadily as our domestic and global sales initiatives take effect.”


Mr. Lang continued, “We continue to realize the positive results from global growth, streamlining and operating income margin enhancement that we began implementing in Q1 of 2010. We expect these trends to continue as we move into the final quarter of 2011 and into 2012.”

CECO will host a conference call on Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. EST to review its financial results for the quarter. Conferencing details are as follows:

This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These risks and uncertainties, which are more fully described in CECO’s Annual and Quarterly Reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, but are not limited to: our dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated


therewith, including actual costs exceeding our estimates and our method of accounting for contract revenue; our history of losses and possibility of further losses; fluctuations in operating results from period to period due to seasonality of our business; the effect of growth on our infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; our ability to expand our operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations; economic and political conditions generally; and the effect of competition in the air pollution control and industrial ventilation industry. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. We caution investors that other factors might, in the future, prove to be important in affecting our results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Investors are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
