• Revenue Surges on NV5 Deal

  Q2 revenue hit $584.3M, up 86% YoY, driven entirely by the NV5 acquisition. Pro forma revenue would have been $565.9M, indicating modest organic growth.

• Losses Widen Despite Margin Gains

  Net loss was $13.3M vs. $0.2M loss a year ago. Gross margin improved to 35% from 24%, but SG&A ballooned to $193.3M and interest expense nearly doubled to $28.4M.

• Cash Flow Deteriorates Sharply

  Operating cash flow fell to just $0.2M from $26.3M YoY, as working capital consumed cash. The company ended the quarter with $362M in cash and $1.6B in total debt.

• Material Weaknesses Unresolved

  The company disclosed that material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, first identified in the 2025 10-K, remain unremediated. These weaknesses previously led to a restatement.

The NV5 acquisition is reshaping TIC Solutions — revenue nearly doubled to $584 million and gross margins expanded sharply. Yet the deal also brought a surge in interest costs and integration expenses that pushed the bottom line to a $13 million loss. More concerning, operating cash flow collapsed to near zero as working capital swelled, and the company still hasn't fixed the material weaknesses in its financial controls that forced a prior restatement. The quarter also saw a new chief legal officer hired, a $200 million buyback program launched, and a credit agreement amendment that trimmed borrowing costs — a mixed bag that leaves the company highly leveraged and still digesting its largest-ever acquisition.
