“In the third quarter we saw improving sequential performance as global economies began to reopen and our customers resumed their capital investment plans. Additionally, we continued to progress on our strategic initiatives both organically with positive customer response to our recently announced new products and inorganically with our Digital Twin initiative enabled through the August acquisition of Advanced Technical Solutions (“ATS”),” stated Michael Burger, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While near-term demand remains below the 2019 level, we have gained confidence that our second quarter represents the trough in demand, as we continue to experience increased customer activity levels. As importantly, as evidenced by our third quarter results, we expect the cost reduction actions taken earlier this year will drive strong operating leverage and profit growth as demand returns to normalized levels.”
The Company’s cash and short-term investments decreased $10.3 million to $163.6 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2020, and the Company remained debt-free.
