Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $18.9 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
book-to-bill ratio financial
"The book-to-bill ratio was 149%."
The book-to-bill ratio compares the value of new orders a company receives to the value of products it ships out or bills for over a certain period. If the ratio is above 1, it means the company is getting more orders than it is completing, which can indicate growth. If it's below 1, it suggests demand is slowing down.
implied orders financial
"Implied orders increased sequentially by $77.6 million"
Implied orders are virtual buy or sell opportunities that an exchange’s trading system creates by combining existing orders in related contracts or securities — for example, piecing together two option legs to form a spread. Think of it like a grocery store bundling individual items into a ready-made meal: it can reveal extra ways to trade that weren’t entered explicitly. Investors care because implied orders increase visible liquidity and improve chances of getting fills at better prices, affecting execution quality and how markets discover fair value.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow in the quarter was $10.7 million."
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Adjusted EBITDA to net debt ratio financial
"Adjusted EBITDA to net debt ratio of 2.3x"

ASTEC REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
Third Quarter 2026 Overview (all comparisons are made to the corresponding prior year third quarter unless otherwise specified):
•Net sales of $352.4 million, increased 0.7%
•Net loss attributable to controlling interest of $12.2 million; Adjusted net loss of $0.3 million
•EBITDA of $11.4 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $18.9 million
•Diluted EPS of $(0.53); Adjusted EPS of $(0.01)
•Operating cash flow of $70.2 million year to date; Free cash flow of $48.0 million year to date
•Backlog of $670.5 million grew 49.2%
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (November 5, 2026) – Astec Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASTE) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
"Third quarter financial results were less than expected as ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty caused a pause in orders earlier in the year by select asphalt plant customers. This, combined with inflationary headwinds, impacted our sales, mix, absorption and margins during the third quarter. Despite this temporary pause and the delayed renewal of the U.S. federal highway bill, underlying demand rebounded in the third quarter as evidenced by our 49.2% growth in backlog," said Jaco van der Merwe, Chief Executive Officer.
"We are revising our full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance from the previous range of $160 million to $175 million to $140 million to $150 million," said Brian Harris, Chief Financial Officer. "Positive cash flow and disciplined capital allocation yielded an Adjusted EBITDA to net debt ratio of 2.3x, which was within our target range of 1.5x to 2.5x."

Safe Harbor Statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This News Release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those risks described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors thereof, and in other reports filed subsequently by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those risks described in Part II, Item 1A in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which may cause actual results, financial or otherwise, to be materially different from those anticipated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Measures
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results, the Company refers to various GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures which management believes provide useful information to investors. These non-GAAP measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Management of the Company does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Nonetheless, this non-GAAP information can be useful in understanding the Company's operating results and the performance of its core business. Management of the Company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to establish internal budgets and targets to evaluate the Company's financial performance against such budgets and targets. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the tables.
When we provide guidance for Adjusted EBITDA we do not provide a reconciliation of the U.S. GAAP measures as we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of the non-GAAP adjustment items. By their very nature, non-GAAP adjusted items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our Company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable efforts.

We present certain non-GAAP information that can be useful in understanding our operating results and the performance of our core business. We use both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to establish internal budgets and targets and to evaluate financial performance against such budgets and targets.
Beginning with the announcement of results for the first quarter of 2026, we have included the gain or loss on sale of property and equipment in the presentation of Adjusted income from operations, Adjusted net income attributable to controlling interest, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA. Prior periods have been revised to reflect this change.
We exclude the costs and related tax effects, which are based on the statutory tax rate applicable to each respective item unless otherwise noted below, of the following items as we do not believe they are indicative of our core business operations:
•Transformation program - Incremental costs related to the execution of our ongoing strategic transformation initiatives which may include personnel costs, third-party consultant costs, duplicative systems usage fees, administrative costs, accelerated depreciation and amortization on certain long-lived assets and other similar type charges. These costs are included in "Cost of sales" and "Selling, general and administrative expenses", as appropriate, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Restructuring and other related charges - Charges related to restructuring activities, to the extent that they are experienced, may include personnel termination actions and reorganization efforts to simplify and consolidate our operations. These costs are recorded in "Restructuring and other operating charges (gains), net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Goodwill impairment - Goodwill impairment charges, to the extent that they are experienced, are recorded in "Goodwill impairment" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Asset impairment - Asset impairment charges, to the extent that they are experienced, are recorded in "Restructuring and other operating charges (gains), net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Amortization of acquired intangible assets - Non-cash charges related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets. These costs are typically included in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
•Acquisition and integration costs - Costs associated with the pursuit of acquisition opportunities or the effected acquisition and integration of acquired businesses. These costs are typically included in "Cost of sales" and "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
