On May 15, 2017, pre-market, Forterra reported net sales of $338.3 million for the first quarter of 2017, compared to $187 million in the prior year quarter. Sales growth was solely “attributable to the impact of acquisitions that increased net sales by $163 million” rather than to organic growth. In addition, Forterra reported a consolidated net loss of $22.5 million, or $0.35 loss per share. Forterra’s Chief Executive Officer commented that the Company’s “earnings results for the quarter were impacted by a number of factors that unfortunately will persist through the second quarter of 2017.”
On this news, Forterra’s share price fell $4.79, or 24.29%, to close at $14.93 on May 15, 2017.
