Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Aerospace & Defense revenue grew $7.2M, a 35.5% increase year-over-year, with capacity additions and strategic pricing initiatives supporting further growth
  • Infrastructure revenue grew $6.1M or 84% year-over-year, driven by data centers, new construction, and complex projects at or above company-average margins
  • Power Generation revenue grew $1.9M or 40% year-over-year, led by expanded at-height wind capabilities and new technologies
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 18.7% to $14.3M from $12M, with adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 110 bps to 8.5% from 7.4%
  • Gross profit margin expanded 120 bps year-over-year on favorable mix, pricing discipline, and operational efficiency
  • PCMS revenue grew over 10% year-over-year in Q1, with 11 new logos, 29 expansions, and ~$8.2M in cross-selling opportunities

Risks & pressure points

  • Oil and Gas revenue declined $11.1M or 11.5% year-over-year due to client deferrals from a 50% spike in global oil prices and intentional exits from low-margin work, with about two-thirds of the decline attributed to exits
  • Management expects the impact of Oil and Gas exits to persist into Q2 and Q3
  • Full-year outlook range remains driven primarily by the timing and spending levels in Oil and Gas
  • Q1 is described as a seasonally low quarter for results

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“We delivered an adjusted EBITDA increase of 18.7% as compared to the prior year comparable period, growing adjusted EBITDA from $12 million to $14.3 million. We also expanded our year-over-year adjusted EBITDA margin by 110 basis points to 8.5% from 7.4% in our seasonally low first quarter results.” Speaker 2, CEO
“we are intentionally prioritizing profitability and long-term value creation over near-term low-margin volume. In late 2025 and throughout the quarter, we selectively chose not to participate in bids that did not meet our margin and return thresholds. This is a strategic shift toward a more profitable and sustainable mix of work, and we are committed to maintaining pricing discipline rather than pursuing low-margin opportunities to preserve top-line volume.” Speaker 2, CEO
