Analysis · CECO · Technology
A standout quarter, fueled by the Thermon acquisition, saw orders leap 191% to $798.5M and backlog swell to $1.82B. Revenue climbed 54% to $285M, while non-GAAP net income more than doubled to $21.5M. The GAAP net loss of $(34.8)M stems from heavy acquisition and integration costs, but adjusted EBITDA of $40.2M (up 73%) and adjusted free cash flow of $53.2M underscore the underlying strength. Management raised full-year revenue and EBITDA guidance, signaling confidence in the integration and demand pipeline. With record orders, raised guidance, and early synergy capture, this update is materially positive for investors.
