  • + Contract backlog grew to a record $1.13B from $871M at year-end, providing multi-year revenue visibility.
  • + Record Adjusted EBITDA of $36.4M, up 38.4% year-over-year.

  • + Affirmed full-year 2026 guidance of $670–690M revenue and $150–155M Adjusted EBITDA, with backlog coverage supporting the outlook well into 2027.
Bearish

  • − First-half net cash used in operating activities was $82.1M, with the company projecting positive free cash flow only in the second half of 2026.
