Market demand in Communications: Strong demand driven by broadband infrastructure build-outs, federal investment, and hyperscaler CapEx for data centers.
Renewables market outlook: Legislation supports tax credits for renewables through 2027, with safe harboring projects allowing construction through 2030.
Workforce expansion: Added nearly 4,000 new team members in Q2 2025, a 10% increase in workforce.
Margin improvements: Margins for non-pipeline segments improved 100 basis points year-over-year, with Communications and Power Delivery segments improving 300 basis points sequentially.
Investment in pipeline segment: Investing in headcount and equipment to prepare for future demand in 2026 and beyond, despite short-term margin impacts.
Focus on framework agreements: Strengthening customer relationships through framework agreements to improve visibility and outcomes across segments.
Pipeline Segment Margins: Margins in the pipeline segment are being slightly impacted in 2025 due to investments in increasing headcount and equipment to prepare for future demand. This is expected to be a short-term impact, but it affects current profitability.
Pipeline Revenue Decline: Revenue in the pipeline segment declined 6% year-over-year, primarily due to the challenging comparison from the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project wind-down last year. This has impacted EBITDA and overall segment performance.
Clean Energy Segment Margins: Margins in the Clean Energy segment are expected to remain flat in the third quarter, despite significant revenue growth. This could indicate challenges in achieving further margin improvement in the near term.
Working Capital Investment: Higher working capital investment in the second quarter, driven by strong revenue growth, has led to a use of free cash flow. This could strain liquidity if not managed effectively.
DSOs Consistency: Days Sales Outstanding (DSOs) remained consistent in the mid-60s, which did not provide the same benefit to working capital as in the prior year. This consistency could limit cash flow improvements.
Tariffs and Federal Tax Incentives: Uncertainty around tariffs and federal tax incentive changes from recent legislation could pose risks to the company's 2025 outlook, as these factors are not yet fully materialized in the forecast.
Pipeline Backlog Decline: Backlog for the pipeline segment was down about 5% sequentially, which could indicate challenges in securing new projects or delays in contract finalizations.
Clean Energy Legislation Impact: The passage of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' legislation has created some uncertainty, although it leaves tax credits intact. The company expects more clarity in the coming months, but this could impact project planning and execution.
Margin Pressure from Growth Investments: Investments in growth, such as additional equipment and headcount, are putting pressure on margins across several segments, including Communications and Clean Energy.
Geopolitical and Policy Risks: General macro uncertainty from the current policy and geopolitical environment is being discounted in forecast planning, but it remains a potential risk to operations and financial performance.
