PFB Corporation Overview

Our Strategic Focus:

PFB Corporation (“PFB®”) is a vertically-integrated manufacturer of products based on our core competency in expanded polystyrene foams (“EPS”). We own or lease a total of nine facilities in Canada and five in the USA.

We are industry leaders and the only vertically integrated EPS company in North America; expert in EPS resin, building science applications, and geotechnical applications of our engineered EPS foam products.

Our innovative designs and high-quality building products for insulated residential and commercial structures, engineered geotechnical products used as soil replacement in foundations, road and bridge construction and protective packaging products on both a custom and a commodity basis are available nationally.

Value-added, “green” products provide sustainable alternative to traditional building products and address demand for energy-efficient building structures – 35% of energy consumption is in buildings.

The financial strength of PFB Corporation is evident from our strong balance sheet, our focus on revenue streams in both Canada and the USA., our organic and acquisitive revenue growth and our achieving a targeted return on capital as well as capacity utilization.

Aggressive run-up in Styrene spot price due to an atypical confluence of conditions in the market.

PFB responded with price increase to customers effective Q2 which are taking hold.

Styrene spot prices are forecast to continue to reduce into Q4 from current levels into more typical ranges

PFB continues to generate a strong balance sheet with a strong cash position. Recent Q1 ROFO to repurchase key property from a long term lease obligation

effectively transferred principal lease obligations into long term debt (mortgage) along with a one time cash down payment securing a strategic property and resulting in improved go-forward cash flows.

Share holder equity remains stable, impacted only slightly by foreign exchange asset valuations due a stronger CAD dollar at Q3.
