Grounding quotes
  • “we delivered an incredibly strong fourth quarter which was well ahead of our prior guidance. Total revenues grew by 35% to a quarterly record of $738 million”
  • “Backlog growth was essentially all organic and came on top of the aforementioned record revenue quarter. This translated to a book-to-bill ratio for the three months ended December 2025 of 1.9 times”
  • “we are in discussions with certain data center clients for deliveries that extend into 2029”
  • “we are fortunate in that we have not experienced any significant labor constraints that would impact our ability to execute on our commitments or cause us to pass on attractive new business opportunities”
