Forterra manufactures pipe and various precast products. The Company offers products for a range of water-related infrastructure applications, including water transmission, distribution and drainage.

Allegations Against Forterra
The lawsuit alleges that the IPO Registration Statement and Prospectus contained inaccurate or misleading statements, and failed to disclose: that organic sales in the Company’s Drainage and Water segments significantly declined; that Forterra was experiencing increased pricing pressure due to competition and continued softness in its concrete and steel pipe business; that the Company had been losing business in its important pipe and precast business, due in large part to operational problems at its production plants; and that Forterra had undisclosed material weaknesses in its internal controls that prevented it from accurately reporting and forecasting its financial results.

Since the IPO, the share price of Forterra common stock has declined by nearly 75%, to close at $4.90 on August 15, 2017.
