Furthermore, we are currently seeking to secure a new global banking agreement to provide enhanced liquidity, flexible financing options and expanded access to capital to support further investments in our growth. Perma-Pipe remains fully committed to its operations throughout the MENA region. Despite ongoing regional conflicts our business operations have not been impacted. We have implemented comprehensive business continuity plans designed to mitigate potential risks and aim to ensure uninterrupted service to our customers and maintain operational stability and safety across all of our facilities. The rapid rise of artificial intelligence, cloud platforms and digital infrastructure is creating unprecedented demand for advanced data center solutions," said Sagr. "Our strategic focus on AI data centers positions Perma-Pipe to capitalize on these powerful global trends. In addition, we are pursuing diversification into new product lines within the industrial and water sectors across both North America and the MENA region to further expand our market reach and ensure long-term resilience. We are excited about the future and the opportunities ahead for Perma-Pipe, with strong market demand, a disciplined growth strategy, new financial partnerships and robust business continuity planning, we are well positioned to execute on our strategic vision and capture the significant opportunities emerging in AI infrastructure, next-generation data centers and diversified industrial markets."

Growth was driven by higher sales volumes in both the Middle East and North America. Gross profit was $21.0 million, up $6.9 million from $14.1 million last year, reflecting higher activity levels. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $8.3 million from $7.3 million, primarily due to higher payroll and professional fees, including approximately $0.5 million relating to Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance in connection with our transition from a small reporting company to an accelerated filer.
