The earnings report shows positive financial metrics, such as a 21% revenue increase and improved margins, but is offset by a 10% downward revision in revenue guidance due to exiting a business segment. The Q&A reveals uncertainties in project timelines and management's unclear responses. The lack of share repurchase plans and macroeconomic risks add to the neutral sentiment. Despite strong revenue growth, the negative guidance revision and uncertainties create a balanced outlook, suggesting a neutral stock price movement in the next two weeks.
Revenue $200.2 million (21% increase year-over-year from $166 million) driven by Storage and Terminal Solutions and Utility and Power Infrastructure segments.
Gross Margin $12.9 million (6.4%) compared to $5.6 million (3.4%) year-over-year, improvement attributed to revenue growth and reduced impact of under-recovered overhead costs.
SG&A Expenses $17.7 million, down from $19.9 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower cash-settled stock-based compensation expense.
Net Loss $3.4 million ($0.12 per share), improved from a net loss of $14.6 million ($0.53 per share) year-over-year.
Adjusted EBITDA Improved to breakeven from a loss of $10 million year-over-year.
Storage and Terminal Solutions Revenue $96.1 million (77% increase year-over-year from $54.3 million), driven by increased volume of work for specialty vessel projects.
Utility and Power Infrastructure Revenue $58.7 million (27% increase year-over-year from $46.1 million), benefiting from higher volume of work associated with natural gas peak shaving projects.
Process and Industrial Facilities Revenue $45.4 million, down from $65.6 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower revenue volumes from the completion of a large renewable diesel project.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities $31.2 million for the quarter, $76.8 million year-to-date.
Available Liquidity $247.1 million, comprised of $185.5 million of unrestricted cash and $61.5 million of borrowing availability.
Debt Position Remains at 0.

The earnings call highlights a mixed financial performance: a significant backlog and opportunity pipeline, no debt, and increased liquidity are positive. However, revenue and margins declined, and there's a net loss. The Q&A reveals stable demand but vague responses on administration changes and renewable exposure. The guidance for fiscal 2025 is strong, but past performance and current challenges balance this out. Without market cap data, the stock's reaction is uncertain, likely remaining neutral in the short term.
