"Our third quarter results reflect strength across each of our segments, thanks to continued demand for water distribution and electrical construction as well as the continued recovery in our gas transmission business. The quarter also benefited from the more favorable weather throughout the spring, allowing our projects to start on or ahead of schedule," said Doug Reynolds, President of Energy Services. "Profitability during the quarter was slightly affected by a lower-than-expected gross profit margin on a large gas transmission project, but the diversity of our business allowed us to absorb this impact and still report a 58% increase in year-over-year net income."
"We remain optimistic about the near and longer-term opportunities for the business, driven by the ongoing replacement cycle for water infrastructure and the growth in electric demand and build out of data centers across the country. This confidence is reflected in the 33% increase in our quarterly dividend, which is an important component in our focus of delivering long-term shareholder return," Mr. Reynolds concluded.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results
Total revenues for the period were $130.0 million, compared to $103.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased work across all segments, particularly Gas & Petroleum Transmission.
Gross profit was $14.3 million, compared to $12.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 11.0% of revenues, compared to 11.6% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in gross margin is related to one large gas transmission project, partially offset by higher levels of construction activity across the business.
Selling and administrative expenses were $9.7 million, compared to $8.8 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase is primarily related to higher labor and related costs associated with the Company's growth, partially offset by improved operating leverage.
Net income was $3.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million or $0.12 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
Backlog as of June 30, 2026 was $286.6 million, compared to $325.1 million on March 31, 2026 and $280.7 million as of June 30, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included herein. We include these measurements to enhance the understanding of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein, considered along with net income (loss), is a relevant indicator of trends relating to the cash generating activity of our operations. We believe that excluding the items identified above provides a consistent comparison of the cash-generating activity of our operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it facilitates a comparison of our operating performance to other companies that also use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental operating measure. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
