- A significant portion of our recent backlog, approximately 34.9% at December 31, 2013 and 68.3% at December 31, 2012, has been related to the construction of tank barges for use by customers transporting petroleum products resulting from the use of horizontal drilling in conjunction with hydraulic fracturing, which has expanded the ability of producers to recover natural gas and oil from low-permeability geologic plays, particularly shale plays.

The 2013 EBITDA was $49 million. The past five years' average EBITDA was $32 million. The past five years' average capex was $7.9 million, so the average (EBITDA-capex) was $24 million.
That means the EV/EBITDA(ttm) is 4x and the EV/EBITDA(5y) is 6.25x. The "free cash flow" multiple is 8x.
The results are fantastic, but priced in to a large degree - the stock is up more than 50% over the past year. It is not crazy cheap the way it used to be.
