That said, we anticipate that commercial activity for projects that are led by low priced, abundant natural gas will continue to exhibit more favorable economics than our other industrial end markets; while we expect that the Utility and Traction markets will remain solid throughout fiscal 2021.

As we navigate through this cycle, we remain focused on flawless project execution, as well as cost and cash discipline, in order to optimize margin levels and preserve the strength of our balance sheet."
