Analysis · ECG · Real Estate & Construction
A standout quarter saw revenue climb 34% to $1.23B and EBITDA surge 53% to $128.6M—both records. Organic growth hit 30%, fueled by data center and commercial demand. Backlog swelled to $4.55B, up 53% year-over-year, offering robust visibility. Reflecting confidence in sustained momentum, management raised full-year revenue guidance by roughly 7% and EBITDA guidance by about 19% at the midpoint. The balance sheet remains pristine with 0.3x net leverage and $167M in free cash flow, providing ample firepower for the pending $295M Epsilon acquisition. This print affirms the thesis and materially de-risks the growth story.
