The earnings call reveals mixed signals: while there are positive developments such as improved safety metrics, increased cash balance, and a strong backlog, challenges remain with restructuring costs, economic uncertainty, and a revenue shortfall. The Q&A section highlights optimism in returning to profitability, but also reveals concerns about project delays and vague responses from management. The revised revenue guidance and restructuring efforts suggest potential for future growth, but the immediate impact is uncertain, leading to a neutral sentiment overall.
Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) Improved from 0.91 in fiscal 2024 to 0.51 in fiscal 2025, a significant improvement attributed to enhanced safety measures and culture.
DART Rate Improved from 0.28 in fiscal 2024 to 0.21 in fiscal 2025, reflecting better injury management and safety practices.
Revenue $216.4 million for Q4 fiscal 2025, a 31% increase from the start of the year but below expectations due to a $6.4 million reduction from a legacy project and other charges.
Adjusted EBITDA A loss of $4.8 million in Q4 fiscal 2025, impacted by $11.5 million in charges from legacy projects, labor productivity issues, court decisions, and restructuring costs.
Storage and Terminal Solutions Segment Revenue Increased 37% to $96.1 million in Q4 fiscal 2025 compared to $70 million last year, driven by higher volumes in specialty vessel and LNG storage projects.
Utility and Power Infrastructure Segment Revenue Increased 12% to $73 million in Q4 fiscal 2025 compared to $65.3 million last year, due to higher volumes in natural gas peak-shaving projects.
Process and Industrial Facilities Segment Revenue Decreased to $47.3 million in Q4 fiscal 2025 from $54.2 million last year, primarily due to the completion of a large renewable diesel project in the prior year.
Backlog Approximately $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2025, supported by $186.3 million in project awards in Q4 fiscal 2025.
Cash Balance Increased by $109 million during fiscal 2025 to $249.6 million as of June 30, 2025, due to working capital changes.
Specialty storage and LNG facilities: New awards and performance on existing backlog are creating new and reinforcing existing client relationships. These include projects directly associated with the East Coast data center build-out and its demand for reliable power.
Market focus areas: The company is focusing on engineering, construction, and maintenance for LNG, NGS, ammonia, midstream and downstream energy products, mining and minerals, aerospace, and electrical infrastructure. New high-growth markets include baseload and backup power generation, fuel storage, electrical interconnects, and mechanical systems driven by electrification, AI expansion, and advanced manufacturing.
Safety improvements: TRIR improved from 0.91 to 0.51, and DART rate improved from 0.28 to 0.21 in fiscal 2025.
Restructuring for efficiency: The company flattened the organization, closed underperforming offices, consolidated operational support services, and restructured business development. These actions reduced annual overhead costs by approximately $12 million.
Strategic realignment: The company exited the T&D business due to underperformance and aligned its operations to focus on core markets and growth objectives.
Inorganic growth: The company plans to pursue mergers and acquisitions to support market objectives and strategic needs.
Financial Results: The financial results for fiscal 2025 did not meet expectations due to several factors, including a single isolated event, legacy legal issues from 2021, and restructuring costs. These factors negatively impacted the company's financial performance.
Legacy Legal Issues: The company faced a $6.4 million reduction in revenue due to lowered recovery expectations on a legacy project from 2021, which is currently in dispute resolution. Additionally, a $1.3 million charge was incurred due to an unfavorable court decision related to a subcontractor's failure to pay vendors.
Labor Productivity Issues: A crude project faced $3.8 million in charges due to lower-than-anticipated labor productivity, which impacted financial performance and project execution.
Restructuring Costs: The company incurred $3.4 million in restructuring costs aimed at improving operational efficiencies. These costs are expected to continue into fiscal 2026, with similar expenses anticipated in the first quarter.
Revenue Shortfall: Over half of the revenue shortfall was attributed to the late start of previously booked work and significant weakness in the planned growth for the T&D business, which led to the exit of that service line.
Economic Uncertainty: Economic uncertainty has impacted the timing of project awards, affecting the company's ability to secure new contracts and maintain consistent revenue growth.
Court Ruling Impact: The company was required to pay vendor obligations twice due to a court ruling, resulting in a $1.3 million charge. This highlights risks associated with subcontractor management and legal disputes.
Revenue Growth: The company expects fiscal year 2026 full year revenue to be between $875 million to $925 million, representing year-over-year growth of 17% at the midpoint of the range.
Backlog and Revenue Assurance: Approximately 85% of the expected fiscal 2026 revenue is supported by backlog already in hand, with nearly all that backlog related to projects that have already broken ground, minimizing risk of delay.
Profitability and Financial Position: The company anticipates a return to profitability in fiscal 2026, supported by revenue growth, a realigned organizational structure, and a robust opportunity pipeline. The company also has a strong financial position with $284.5 million in liquidity and no debt.
Market Trends and Opportunities: The company is positioned to capitalize on significant ongoing infrastructure investment cycles, particularly in specialty storage, LNG facilities, and electrical infrastructure. Growth is also expected in high-demand areas such as AI, data centers, and advanced manufacturing.
Operational Efficiency: The company has implemented organizational improvements, including restructuring and cost reductions, which are expected to reduce annual overhead costs by approximately $12 million and improve operational efficiencies.
Inorganic Growth: The company plans to pursue inorganic growth opportunities through mergers and acquisitions to support its market objectives and strategic goals.
Quarterly Revenue Trends: The first quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to have a similar revenue level to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, with steady improvement in revenue and profitability throughout the year.

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.
