Recent performance

For Q2 2026, revenue was $584.3 million, up 86% YoY, primarily due to the NV5 acquisition; on a combined basis, revenue grew 3.3% with 2.5% organic growth. Net loss was $13.3 million, compared to a loss of $0.2 million in Q2 2025; diluted loss per share was $(0.06), and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.14. Adjusted EBITDA was $94.8 million, up 74% YoY. As of June 30, 2026, total liquidity was $473.5 million (cash of $362.4 million plus $125.0 million undrawn revolver), and term loan debt was $1.6 billion net of issuance costs.

Strategy

Management is focused on integrating the NV5 acquisition to create cross-selling opportunities and synergies, targeting long-term financial goals communicated at Investor Day (including revenue and EBITDA targets). They aim to convert commercial momentum into profitable growth and margin expansion. Capital allocation priorities include reducing the cost of debt, opportunistic share buybacks, and strategic acquisitions to build the platform, while continuing to deleverage the balance sheet.

Risks

• Integration risk from NV5 acquisition — The company must successfully integrate NV5 to realize anticipated synergies and benefits, which could fail to materialize.
• High leverage — Total term loan debt of $1.6 billion and a net loss in Q2 2026 expose the company to interest rate and refinancing risks.
• Short-duration contracts — Revenues derive primarily from contracts with durations less than six months, creating risk of non-renewal or new contract failures.
• Cyclical end markets — Demand depends on customer investment in infrastructure, construction, and energy sectors, which can decline due to economic conditions.

Outlook

Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance of revenue between $2.15 billion and $2.25 billion and Adjusted EBITDA between $330 million and $355 million. They cite record backlog, expanding cross-selling, and continued integration progress as momentum entering H2 2026. Demand is strong in Industrials, Power Utilities, and Data Centers.
