Analysis · LMB · Real Estate & Construction
Limbach's Q2 revenue of $173.5M missed the $177.3M consensus, and the company cut its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook. Gross margin fell sharply to 21.5% from 28.0% a year ago, weighed down by the lower-margin Pioneer Power acquisition and competitive pressures in data center markets. Operating income dropped 32% to $7.3M, and net income fell 39% to $4.7M. While cash from operations improved to $10.9M, the company remains reliant on its revolving credit facility, which was subsequently upsized to $125M to fund the $30M CYMCOR acquisition. The stock is trading near its 52-week low, reflecting the market's disappointment with the results and outlook.
