Charles E. Owens, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with our strong profitability in fiscal 2020. Our successful year was primarily driven by our disciplined approach to productivity at the project level and bidding processes, effective utilization of crews and equipment, vertical integration synergies and lower fuel costs. While 2020 presented economic and business challenges, primarily stemming from the global pandemic, I am extremely proud of our employees and the organization's resiliency.
Owens continued, "Heading into fiscal year 2021, our organization is well-positioned for continued growth. We see strength in the state funding programs across our geographic footprint, where the demand for road repair and maintenance are ongoing. We also have expanded with the acquisition of 13 hot-mix asphalt plants in the past 10 months, and we now operate 46 hot-mix asphalt plants, representing distinct markets across our five southeastern states. Based on this increased hot-mix asphalt plant coverage, sustained state funding programs, CPI's backlog and near-term visibility of the business, we are initiating our fiscal 2021 outlook indicating strong growth in the coming year."
