Raven Industries Reports US$21.3 Million Decline in Geomembrane Engineered Films Fiscal 2021 Results (Breaking News)
Net sales for Engineered Films in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were down US$21.3 million or 37.0 percent year-over-year. In the second quarter, economic conditions resulting from the pandemic led to weak end-market demand across all of Engineered Films’ markets, with the geomembrane (including the energy sub-market) experiencing substantial declines. Rig counts in the Permian Basin were down 70 percent versus the second quarter of fiscal 2020, leading to a decline in sales in the geomembrane market. Additionally, the geomembrane construction markets faced difficulties as large-scale projects were delayed due to the pandemic.
