Forterra manufactures pipe and various precast products. The class action complaint alleges that the Registration Statement, which Forterra used to conduct its IPO, contained inaccurate or misleading statements, and failed to disclose material facts, including that:

1. Organic sales in Forterra’s drainage and water segments significantly declined;
2. Forterra was experiencing increased pricing pressure due to competition in its concrete and steel pipe business;
3. Forterra had been losing business in its important pipe and precast business, largely due to operational problems at its production plants; and
4. Forterra had undisclosed material weaknesses in its internal controls that prevented it from accurately reporting and forecasting its financial results.

Forterra completed its initial public offering of common stock on October 21, 2016, selling 18.42 million shares at $18.00 per share, raising over $331 million in gross proceeds. Since then, the price of Forterra shares has plummeted by approximately 73% to close at $4.90 on August 15, 2017.
