Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc., collectively with its subsidiaries ("PPIH", the "Company", "we", "our" or the "Registrant"), is engaged in the manufacture and sale of products in one reportable segment: Piping Systems. The Company was incorporated in Delaware on October 12, 1993. The Company's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market and reported under the ticker symbol "PPIH". The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31. Years, results and balances described as 2026, 2025 and 2024 are for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027 and the fiscal years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company engineers, designs, manufactures and sells specialty piping systems and leak detection systems. Specialty piping systems include: (i) insulated and jacketed district heating and cooling piping systems for efficient energy distribution from central energy plants to multiple locations, (ii) primary and secondary containment piping systems for transporting chemicals, hazardous fluids and petroleum products, (iii) the coating and/or insulation of oil and gas gathering and transmission pipelines, and (iv) liquid and powder based anti-corrosion coatings applied both to the external and internal surfaces of steel pipe, including shapes such as bends, reducers, tees, and other spools/fittings used in pipelines for the transportation of oil and gas products and potable water. The Company's leak detection systems are sold with its piping systems or on a stand-alone basis to monitor areas where fluid intrusion may contaminate the environment, endanger personal safety, cause a fire hazard, impair essential services or damage equipment or property.
The Company frequently engineers and custom fabricates to job site dimensions and incorporates provisions for thermal expansion due to cycling temperatures. Most of the Company's piping systems are produced for underground installations and, therefore, require trenching, which is the responsibility of the general contractor, and completed by unaffiliated installation contractors.
The Company’s piping systems are typically sold as a part of discrete projects, and customer demand can vary by reporting period. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Customers and sales channels. The Company's customer base is industrially and geographically diverse. In the United States, the Company employs inside and outside sales managers who use and assist a network of independent manufacturers' representatives, none of whom sell products that are competitive with the Company's piping systems. The Company employs a direct sales force to market and sell products and services in Canada, India, Egypt, and across several countries in the Middle East. On a country-by-country basis, and where advantageous, the Company uses an agent network to assist in marketing and selling the Company's products and services.
As of January 31, 2026, one customer accounted for approximately 23% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. For the year ended January 31, 2026, this same customer represented approximately 12% of total net sales. As of January 31, 2025, and for the year then ended, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable or net sales. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of this customer on an ongoing basis. As of January 31, 2026, no allowance for credit losses was deemed necessary as the Company expects to collect the full carrying value of the outstanding balance.
Backlog. The Company’s backlog on January 31, 2026 was $121.6 million, compared to $138.1 million on January 31, 2025, most of which is expected to be completed within the year ending January 31, 2027. The decrease in backlog is primarily attributable to converting existing sales orders into revenue and the timing of new awards. The Company defines backlog as the expected value of total revenue resulting from confirmed customer purchase orders that have not yet been recognized as revenue. However, by industry practice, orders may be canceled or modified at any time. In the event of a cancellation, the customer is normally responsible for all finished goods produced or shipped, all direct and indirect costs incurred, and also for a reasonable allowance for anticipated profits. No assurance can be given that these amounts will be recovered after cancellation. Any cancellation or delay in orders may result in lower than expected revenues from the Company's reported backlog. Additionally, as a result of the Company's contracts having a duration of less than one year, a practical expedient was applied regarding disclosure of the aggregate amount and future timing of performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of the end of the reporting period.
Intellectual property. The Company owns various patents covering its piping and electronic leak detection systems, as well as for some of the features of its sensor cables. These patents are not material to the Company either individually or in the aggregate because the Company believes its sales would not be materially reduced if patent protection was not available. The Company owns numerous trademarks connected with its piping and leak detection systems throughout the world.
Suppliers. The basic raw materials used in production are pipes and tubes made of carbon steel, steel alloys, copper, ductile iron, or polymers and various chemicals such as polyols, isocyanate, urethane resin, polyethylene, and fiberglass, which are mostly purchased in bulk quantities. The Company believes there are currently adequate supplies and sources of availability of these raw materials needed.
The sensor cables used in the Company's leak detection and location systems are manufactured to the Company's specifications by companies regularly engaged in manufacturing such cables. The Company assembles the monitoring component of its leak detection and location systems from components purchased from many sources.
The Company continues to experience fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials due to volatile economic conditions, supply chain disruptions, tariff uncertainties, and transportation delays. To mitigate these impacts, the Company has implemented several strategies, including actively seeking alternative suppliers and planning for material purchases further in advance to ensure the Company has materials when needed. The Company also adjusts its pricing to customers to offset the impacts of the raw material price increases. These impacts are expected to continue throughout 2026, and the resulting future disruptions to the Company’s operations are uncertain.
Competition. The piping systems market is highly competitive. The Company believes that quality, service, engineering design capabilities and support, a comprehensive product line, timely execution, plant location and price are key competitive factors in the industry. The Company also believes it has a more comprehensive product line than any competitor.
Research and Development. The Company's research and development efforts primarily focus on activities and development to meet product specifications mandated by its customers and the industry.
Environmental impacts. The Company provides insulated pipe for district energy systems. A district energy system is a highly efficient way to provide heating or cooling to buildings. A central plant produces steam or chilled water that flows through insulated pipes to buildings. The goal of a district energy system is to centralize production to deliver energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and use less equipment compared to individual buildings with their own boilers and chillers. In addition, district heating and cooling plants can provide better pollution control than localized boilers and cooling equipment.
As of January 31, 2026, we employed a total of 909 individuals, of whom 222 were located in the United States and 687 were located internationally. Within the United States, 97 employees are represented by labor unions and are covered under two collective bargaining agreements, which expire on April 30, 2027 and April 30, 2028, respectively.
We believe that our human capital, including our ability to attract, develop, and retain skilled personnel, is critical to the success of our operations. We consider our relationships with our employees to be constructive and stable, and we have not experienced any material work stoppages to date.

The Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risks, including, but not limited to, those set forth below, which could cause actual results to vary materially from recent results or from anticipated future results. These risk factors should be considered together with information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Market Condition Risks
The Company's operations and earnings may be significantly affected by changes in oil and gas prices. Oil and gas prices depend on local, regional, and global events or conditions that affect supply and demand. Any material decline in oil or gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company's products, its operations and financial condition.
The Company regularly updates its quoting system for the movements in raw material prices and seeks to recover price differentials through increases in the selling price of the Company's products; however, the Company may not always be successful, and any increase in raw material prices that is not offset by an increase in the Company's prices that is accepted by customers could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In addition, if the Company is unable to acquire timely raw material supplies, it may need to decline opportunities, which could also have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Due to volatile economic conditions, supply chain disruptions, tariff uncertainties, and transportation delays, the Company has experienced, and may in the future experience, delays and increased prices for raw materials used in its production processes. To mitigate these impacts, the Company has implemented several strategies, including purchasing larger volumes from existing suppliers to reduce near- and medium-term supply risk, actively seeking alternative suppliers, and planning material purchases further in advance to ensure availability when needed. The Company also adjusts its pricing to customers to offset the impacts of the raw material price increases. The Company is unable to predict the duration of the current inflationary environment, raw material supply shortages and transportation delays, and the resulting future disruptions to the Company’s operations are uncertain.
Decreases in government spending on projects using the Company’s products, and challenges to the Company’s customers’ liquidity and availability of capital funds, may adversely impact demand for the Company’s products. Decreases in government spending on projects using the Company's products can have a negative impact on the Company's sales volumes. Uncertainty about economic market conditions poses risks that the Company's customers may postpone spending for capital improvement and maintenance projects in response to tighter credit markets or negative financial news, which could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company's products.
Financial Risks
The Company may be unable to maintain compliance with existing debt covenants, repay its debt or renew its expiring international credit facilities. There is a risk that the Company may not be able to remain in compliance with covenants in connection with its credit agreements. If there were an event of default under the Company's current credit facilities, the lenders could cause all amounts outstanding with respect to that debt to be due and payable immediately. The Company cannot assure that its cash flow will be sufficient to fully repay amounts due under any of the financing arrangements, if accelerated upon an event of default, or, that the Company would be able to repay, refinance or restructure the payments under any such arrangements. Complying with the covenants under the Company's domestic and/or foreign credit facilities may limit management's discretion by restricting options such as:
| • |
incurring additional debt; |
| • |
entering into transactions with affiliates; |
| • |
making investments or other restricted payments; |
| • |
paying dividends, capital returns, intercompany obligations and other forms of repatriation; and |
| • | creating liens. |
The Company has approximately $5.5 million of borrowings under foreign revolving lines of credit that are scheduled to mature in the year ending January 31, 2027. Credit arrangements used by the Company’s Middle Eastern subsidiaries are typically renewed on an annual basis. In addition, the Company has obtained project-specific financing in the Middle East, with $0.2 million of borrowings under such arrangements becoming due in the year ending January 31, 2027. While the Company expects to renew its Middle Eastern credit arrangements and maintain access to project financing, there can be no assurance that such arrangements will be renewed on similar terms or amounts, or that project-specific financing will be available for future projects. For additional information regarding the Company’s foreign debt, refer to Note 5 – Debt
Any replacement credit arrangements outside of the United States may further limit the Company’s ability to repatriate funds from abroad. Repatriation of funds from certain countries may become limited based upon regulatory restrictions or unfeasible economically because of the taxation of funds when moved to another subsidiary or to the parent company. In addition, any refinancing, replacement or additional financing the Company may obtain could contain similar or more restrictive covenants than those currently applicable to the Company. The Company’s ability to comply with any covenants may be adversely affected by general economic conditions, political decisions, industry conditions and other events beyond management’s control.
The Company may be unable to maintain sustained levels of profitability or positive cash flows in the future. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to maintain profitability or positive cash flows in the future. The Company’s inability to successfully maintain profitability and positive cash flows may result in it experiencing a serious liquidity deficiency resulting in material adverse consequences that could threaten its viability.
The Company extended credit to a customer for a project in the Middle East in 2013 and, if the Company is unable to collect this outstanding balance, its future profitability could be adversely impacted. One of the Company’s accounts receivable, totaling $1.2 million and $1.8 million as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, has been outstanding for several years. As of January 31, 2026, the entire balance represents a retention asset payable upon the commissioning of the system. Due to the long-term nature of the receivable, $1.2 million was included in other long-term assets as of both January 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company completed all deliverables under the related contract in 2015; however, the system has not yet been commissioned by the customer, as additional activities must be completed prior to overall system completion and commissioning. The Company continues to actively engage in collection efforts to ensure full payment of the outstanding balance. At various times throughout 2024 and 2025, the Company received partial payments of $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company has been engaged by the customer to perform additional work in 2026 under customary trade credit terms, supporting the continued cooperation between the Company and the customer. As a result, the Company did not record an allowance for this receivable as of January 31, 2026. However, if collection efforts are unsuccessful, the Company may recognize an allowance for all, or substantially all, of the uncollected amount.
The Company may be impacted by interpretations and changes in tax regulations and legislation which could adversely affect the Company's results of operations. Tax interpretations, regulations, and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the interpretations can impact net income, income tax expense or benefit, and income tax assets or liabilities. Tax rules and regulations, including those relating to foreign jurisdictions, are subject to interpretation and require judgment by the Company that may be challenged by the applicable taxation authorities upon audit. Although the Company believes its assumptions, judgements and estimates are reasonable, changes in tax laws or the Company's interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of any tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited. The Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards in the U.S. could expire unused and be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities because of their limited duration or because of restrictions under U.S. tax law. As of January 31, 2026, the Company had $16.6 million of gross federal NOLs and $22.2 million of gross state NOLs available to offset the Company’s future taxable income. Of the gross federal NOL amount, $9.3 million will begin to expire between tax years 2036 and 2037 and the remainder has an indefinite carryforward. State NOLs expire at various dates from 2026 to 2045. In addition, the Company’s ability to use its NOLs may be limited in the event of future changes in its stock ownership. As a result, if the Company earns net taxable income, the Company’s ability to use its pre-change NOLs to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in a future tax liability of the Company. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of NOLs is suspended or otherwise limited, which could result in a state tax liability which would otherwise not arise.
The Company’s inability to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could harm its business and financial results. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. However, there are material weaknesses in internal controls such that our internal control over financial reporting has been determined not to be effective. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that the Company would prevent or detect a misstatement of its financial statements or fraud. If we are not able to remediate the material weaknesses and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our business and financial results could be harmed.
The Company may experience changes in estimates which could result in a reduction or elimination of previously recorded revenues and profit in connection with "over time" revenue recognition. Certain of the Company's contracts recognize revenues using periodic recognition of income. For these contracts, the Company uses the "over time" accounting method. This methodology allows revenue and profits to be recognized proportionally over the life of a contract by comparing the amount of the cost incurred to date against the total amount of cost expected to be incurred. The effect of revisions to revenue and total estimated cost is recorded when amounts are known or can be reasonably estimated. Revisions can occur at any time and could be material. On a historical basis, management believes that reasonably reliable estimates of the progress towards completion on long-term contracts have been made. However, given the uncertainties associated with these types of contracts, it is possible for actual cost to vary from estimates previously made, which may result in reductions or reversals of previously recorded revenue and profits.
Business Condition Risks
Delays in the timing of order receipt, execution, delivery and acceptance of the Company’s products generally negatively impact the Company’s operating results. The Company's operating results in any reporting period could be negatively impacted as a result of delays in the timing of project execution.
The Company may not be able to successfully negotiate progress-billing arrangements on its large-scale contracts, which could adversely impact the Company’s working capital needs, cash flows and credit risk. The Company sells systems and products under contracts that allow the Company to either bill upon the completion of certain agreed milestones, or upon actual shipment of the system or product. The Company attempts to negotiate progress-billing milestones on large contracts to help manage its working capital and cash flows, and to reduce the credit risk associated with these large contracts. Consequently, changes in accepted billing terms of contracts could impact the Company's requirements for working capital and cash flows.
Aggressive pricing by existing competitors and the entrance of new competitors in the markets in which the Company operates could drive down the Company's profits and reduce the Company's revenue. The Company's business is highly competitive. Some of the Company's competitors are large organizations with access to considerable financial resources. Additionally, many of the Company's products are also subject to competition from alternative technologies and alternative products. In periods of declining demand, the Company's fixed cost structure may limit its ability to cut costs, which may be a competitive disadvantage compared to companies with more flexible cost structures, or may result in reduced operating margins, operating losses and negative cash flows.
The Company may be subject to claims for damages from defective products. The Company warrants its products to be free of certain defects. The Company has, from time to time, had claims alleging defects in its products. The Company may experience material product liability claims in the future and it could incur significant costs to defend such claims. While the Company currently has product liability insurance that it believes to be sufficient, the Company cannot be certain that its product liability insurance coverage will be adequate for liabilities that may be incurred in the future or that such coverage will continue to be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms. Any claim relating to defective products that result in liabilities exceeding the Company's insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The Company may not be able to recover costs and damages from vendors that supply defective materials. The Company may receive defective materials from its vendors that are incorporated into the Company's products during the manufacturing process. While the Company mitigates this risk through contract terms, traceability and specifications, and has recourse to recover from vendors the costs to repair, remake or replace defective products, such costs could be greater than the amount that can be recovered. Such excess costs could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Product and service orders included in the Company’s backlog may be reduced or cancelled. The Company defines backlog as the revenue value resulting from confirmed customer purchase orders that have not yet been recognized as revenue. Orders may be canceled or modified at any time. In the event of a cancellation, the customer is normally responsible for all finished goods produced or shipped, all direct and indirect costs incurred and also for a reasonable allowance for anticipated profits. No assurance can be given that these amounts will be recovered after cancellation. Any reduction or cancellation of orders may result in revenues that are lower than expected.
The Company's results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in international regulations and other activities of government agencies related to the Company’s operations. International sales represent a significant portion of the Company's total sales. The Company's sales to foreign customers were 71.7% and 66.9% in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company's anticipated growth and profitability may require increasing foreign sales volume and may necessitate further international expansion. The Company's results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations, other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations, and other factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in a country's or region's economic or political conditions, trade regulations affecting production, pricing and marketing of products, local labor conditions and regulations, reduced protection of intellectual property rights, changes in the regulatory or legal environment, restrictions on currency exchange activities, burdensome taxes and tariffs and other trade barriers. We cannot predict the impact of changes in foreign policies adopted by the current U.S. administration will have on our business. International risks and uncertainties, including changing social and economic conditions as well as terrorism, political hostilities and war, could lead to reduced international sales and reduced profitability associated with such sales. In addition, these risks can include delays in collection of accounts receivable. Because the Company conducts a significant portion of its business activities in the Gulf Cooperation Council ("GCC"), the political and economic events of the countries that comprise the GCC can have a material effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Due to the international scope of the Company’s operations, it is subject to a complex system of commercial and trade regulations around the world. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries are governed by laws, rules and business practices that differ from those of the United States. If the activities of these entities do not comply with U.S. laws or business practices or the Company’s Code of Business Conduct, then violations of these laws or practices may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, which could disrupt the Company’s business, and result in an adverse effect on the Company’s reputation, business and results of operations or financial condition. The Company cannot predict the nature, scope, or effect of future regulatory requirements to which its operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.
Geopolitical Risks, Including Tensions Involving Iran, May Adversely Affect Our Business. Our operations in certain international markets expose us to geopolitical risks, including regional conflicts, political instability, and evolving government policies. Recent tensions involving Iran have increased uncertainty in parts of the regions in which we operate. Escalation of such tensions could disrupt our operations, delay project execution, restrict access to key markets, or adversely affect the security of our personnel and assets.
In addition, geopolitical developments may lead to broader economic or regulatory consequences, including sanctions, trade restrictions, or limitations on the movement of goods, services, and capital. While we have not experienced material adverse impacts to date, further escalation or prolonged instability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
General Risks
The Company may be unable to retain its senior management and key personnel. The Company's ability to meet its strategic and financial goals will depend to a significant extent on the continued contributions of its senior management and key personnel, or the successful transition of responsibilities of departing senior management and key personnel. Future success will also depend in large part on the Company's ability to identify, attract, motivate, effectively utilize and retain highly qualified managerial, sales, marketing and technical personnel. The loss of senior management or other key personnel or the inability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel in the future could make it more difficult to manage the Company's business and could adversely affect operations and financial results.
The Company may not be able to achieve the expected benefits from its growth initiatives. The Company's cyclical or general expansion may result in unanticipated adverse consequences, including significant strain on management, operations and financial systems, as well as on the Company's ability to attract and retain competent employees. In the future, the Company may seek to grow its business by investing in new or existing facilities, making acquisitions, entering partnerships and joint ventures, or constructing new facilities, which could introduce additional risks, including:
| • |
strain on working capital; |
| • |
diversion of management's attention away from other activities, which could impair the operation of existing businesses; |
| • |
failure to successfully integrate an acquired business or facility into existing operations; |
| • |
inability to maintain key pre-acquisition business relationships; |
| • |
loss of key personnel of an acquired business or facility; |
| • |
exposure to unanticipated liabilities; and |
| • |
failure to realize efficiencies, synergies and cost savings. |
As a result of these and other factors, including general economic risks, the Company may not be able to realize the expected benefits from future acquisitions, new facility developments, partnerships, joint ventures or other investments.
The Company's information technology systems may be negatively affected by cybersecurity threats. The Company faces risks relating to cybersecurity attacks that could cause the loss of confidential information and other business disruptions. The Company relies extensively on computer systems to process transactions and manage its business, and its business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks. The Company employs a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, which include data and email encryption, strong password management policy, firewall systems, anti-virus software, and frequent backups. However, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cyber-attack. A successful attack could adversely affect the Company's reputation and results of operations, including through lawsuits by third parties.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
Risk Management and Strategy
The Company's cybersecurity program focuses on the following areas:
| • | Technological safeguards that are designed to protect the Company's information systems from cybersecurity threats, including the prevention and detection of system applications, access controls, and firewalls, which the Company assesses the vulnerability and severity of potential information security threats and makes necessary improvements. |
| • | Utilization of parties as part of the Company's risk-based approach in identifying and overseeing cybersecurity risks. |
| • | The Company maintains an incident plan that addresses the Company's response to an cybersecurity event, which is periodically reviewed and updated. |
The Company's on-going investment in information systems and utilization of external 3rd parties represents the best means for extensively testing both the design and operational effectiveness of cybersecurity controls, and to ensure continuity and functionality of the Company's operating systems.
Governance
In addition to periodic updates to the Audit Committee, the Director of Information Technology, in his capacity, regularly informs the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") regarding matters related to cybersecurity risks and incidents. This ensures the highest level of management are informed of potential risks associated with cybersecurity that could have a material and adverse effect on the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Certain statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"), which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "continue," "remains," "intend," "aim," "should," "prospects," "could," "future," "potential," "believes," "plans," "likely," and "probable," or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and are subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These statements should be considered as subject to the many risks and uncertainties that exist in the Company's operations and business environment. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those under the headings Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information and Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risk Mitigation and Management
The Company is subject to a variety of risks that could materially affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. To address these risks, the Company has implemented several mitigating strategies across financial, operational, and strategic areas. The Company actively implements strategies to mitigate the risks described in Item 1A of this Annual Report.
Financial and Liquidity Management
The Company monitors and actively manages its debt obligations to ensure continued access to financing. For fiscal 2027, approximately $5.5 million under foreign revolving lines of credit and $0.2 million under project-specific financing are scheduled to mature. The Company expects to renew its Middle Eastern credit arrangements and maintain access to project financing; however, there can be no assurance that such arrangements will be renewed on comparable terms or amounts. The Company also regularly monitors compliance with covenants under existing credit agreements to mitigate potential restrictions on dividends, intercompany obligations, additional debt, or liens.
Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk
The Company actively monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and manages concentrated receivables. Payments for large projects are typically secured through irrevocable letters of credit from banks. For example, as of January 31, 2026, one customer represented approximately 23% of accounts receivable. Partial payments received throughout 2024–2026 have significantly reduced the outstanding balance in accordance with contract terms. The Company engages in ongoing collection efforts and has structured credit terms to support continued cooperation with customers.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Company has strengthened its internal control environment to address previously identified material weaknesses. As of January 31, 2025, four material weaknesses were reported. Following implementation of efforts to remediate these material weaknesses, three material weaknesses remain, which are scheduled for testing in 2026. Management remains committed to fully remediating these weaknesses to maintain effective internal controls and ensure the reliability of financial reporting.
Supply Chain and Raw Material Risk
To mitigate risks associated with volatile raw material prices, supply chain disruptions, tariffs, and transportation delays, the Company has adopted a multi-pronged approach. This includes purchasing larger volumes from existing suppliers, securing alternative suppliers, planning material purchases further in advance, and adjusting customer pricing to offset cost increases. These measures are designed to maintain material availability and minimize disruptions to production schedules.
Backlog, Customer Diversification, and Contract Risk
The Company closely monitors its backlog, customer concentration, and contract terms. Its backlog as of January 31, 2026, was $121.6 million, primarily expected to be completed within the following fiscal year. Customer concentration is mitigated through secured payment methods and ongoing monitoring of financial strength. Contracts are structured to include progress-billing arrangements and provisions for recoverable costs in the event of cancellations, helping to protect cash flow and working capital.
Tax and Regulatory Risk
The Company regularly monitors tax regulations, legislation, and interpretations in jurisdictions where it operates. Management applies judgment in evaluating uncertain tax positions and plans for potential limitations on net operating loss carryforwards, mitigating the risk of unexpected future tax liabilities.
Human Capital and Operational Continuity
The Company invests in attracting, developing, and retaining skilled personnel, recognizing that its human capital is essential to operational success. Ongoing training, succession planning, and engagement initiatives are in place to ensure continuity of operations and strong performance across all regions.
Through these measures, the Company seeks to mitigate risks and sustain financial performance, operational stability, and long-term growth, despite external and internal challenges.
The analysis presented below and discussed in more detail throughout this MD&A was organized to provide instructive information for better understanding the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. However, this MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the notes thereto and the risk factors contained herein. The Company's fiscal year ends on January 31. Years, results and balances described as 2025 and 2024 are for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of products in one reportable segment: Piping Systems. Since the Company's revenues are significantly dependent upon discrete projects, the Company's operating results in any reporting period could be negatively impacted as a result of variations in the level of the Company's discrete project orders or delays in the timing of the specific project phases.
The tabular information presented throughout this MD&A is in thousands, except per share data, or unless otherwise specified.

Year ended January 31, 2026 Compared to year ended January 31, 2025
Net sales
Net sales were $210.9 million and $158.4 million in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase of $52.5 million was primarily the result of higher sales volumes in the Middle East, Canada, and the United States.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $69.5 million, or 33% of net sales and $53.2 million, or 34% of net sales, in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase of $16.3 million was driven by higher sales volumes and consistent gross margins globally.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $35.3 million and $28.0 million in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase of $7.3 million was primarily related to higher compensation costs and professional fees, including approximately $1.0 million relating to Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance in connection with our transition from a non-accelerated filer to an accelerated filer. This also includes a one-time compensation charge of approximately $2.0 million related to the departure of the previous CEO.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses were $4.7 million and $4.9 million in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $0.2 million was primarily driven by lower payroll expenses during the year.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense was $1.8 million and $1.9 million in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $0.1 million was the result of an overall reduction in interest rates during the current year
Income taxes
The Company's worldwide effective tax rates ("ETR") were 24.9% and 29.1% in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in the ETR was largely due to changes in the mix of income and loss in various tax jurisdictions and the domestic Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") inclusion. For further information, see Note 7 - Income taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net income attributable to common stock
Net income attributable to common stock was $17.0 million and $9.0 million in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in net income was a result of the changes discussed above, less amounts attributable to non-controlling interest.
Liquidity and capital resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $18.7 million and $15.7 million as of January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025, respectively. On January 31, 2026, approximately $0.2 million was held in the United States, and $18.5 million was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The Company's working capital was $66.9 million on January 31, 2026 compared to $54.7 million on January 31, 2025. As of January 31, 2026, the Company had $2.7 million of borrowing capacity under the Renewed Senior Credit Facility (as defined below) in North America and $29.9 million of borrowing capacity under its foreign credit agreements. The Company had $10.7 million borrowed under the Renewed Senior Credit Facility and $8.4 million borrowed under its foreign credit agreements at January 31, 2026.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was $9.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively. The decrease of $4.7 million was primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in net income and customer deposits compared to the prior year.
Net cash used in investing activities in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was $10.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The increase of $7.6 million was primarily driven by higher capital expenditures during the period, related to the Middle East.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.6 million for the year ended January 31, 2026, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2025. The $7.5 million increase in cash provided was primarily driven by increased net borrowings under the Company’s revolving lines of credit.
Subsequent to January 31, 2026, the Company entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which provides for a revolving credit facility with total commitments of $18.0 million. The facility effectively refinanced and replaced the Company’s existing credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association and to support the Company’s ongoing working capital and general corporate needs.
The credit facility is intended to serve as a temporary bridge financing arrangement. The Company expects to enter into a new global credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, with JPMorgan expected to act as administrative agent and lead arranger. Upon execution of the global credit facility, the Company expects that any outstanding borrowings under this credit agreement will be repaid or refinanced and the credit agreement will be terminated; however, there can be no assurance as to the timing or terms of such transaction.
The Company believes it will have the ability to satisfy all working capital needs and any planned capital expenditures for the twelve months following the issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements, based on its existing cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and available credit facilities.
There was no restricted cash held in the United States on January 31, 2026 or January 31, 2025. Restricted cash held by foreign subsidiaries was $3.6 million and $1.4 million as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Restricted cash held by foreign subsidiaries related to fixed deposits that also serve as security deposits and guarantees.

Financing
Revolving lines - North America. On September 20, 2018, the Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries (collectively, together with the Company, the “North American Loan Parties”) entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"), as administrative agent and lender, providing for a three-year, $18 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, subject to a borrowing base including various reserves (the “Senior Credit Facility”).
On September 17, 2021, the North American Loan Parties executed an extension of the Credit Agreement with PNC, providing for a new five-year, $18 million senior secured revolving credit facility, subject to a borrowing base including various reserves (the “Renewed Senior Credit Facility”). The Company's obligations under the Renewed Senior Credit Facility are currently guaranteed by Perma-Pipe Canada, Inc. Each of the North American Loan Parties other than Perma-Pipe Canada, Inc. is a borrower under the Renewed Senior Credit Facility (collectively, the “Borrowers”). The Renewed Senior Credit Facility matures on September 20, 2026.
The Borrowers have used and will continue to use borrowings under the Renewed Senior Credit Facility (i) to fund future capital expenditures; (ii) to fund ongoing working capital needs; and (iii) for other corporate purposes, including potentially additional stock repurchases. Borrowings under the Renewed Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an alternate base rate, SOFR rate index, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on a fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") range. Interest on alternate base rate borrowings is the alternate base rate (as defined in the Renewed Senior Credit Facility) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%, based on the FCCR in the most recently reported period. Interest on SOFR rate borrowings is the SOFR rate (as defined in the Renewed Senior Credit Facility) plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%, based on the FCCR in the most recently reported period, as well as an additional SOFR adjustment ranging from 0.10% to 0.25%, based on the term of the interest period. Additionally, the Borrowers pay a 0.25% per annum facility fee on the unused portion of the Renewed Senior Credit Facility.
Subject to certain exceptions, borrowings under the Renewed Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the North American Loan Parties’ assets. Subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the Renewed Senior Credit Facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the North American Loan Parties’ ability to create liens, merge or consolidate, consummate acquisitions, make investments, dispose of assets, incur debt, and pay dividends and other distributions. In addition, the North American Loan Parties may not make capital expenditures in excess of $5.0 million annually, plus a limited carryover of unused amounts. Further, the North American Loan Parties may not make repurchases of the Company's common stock in excess of $3.0 million.
Subsequent Event — Credit Agreement. Subsequent to January 31, 2026, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which effectively replaced the Company’s existing credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit commitment of up to $18.0 million, subject to customary borrowing base limitations, and matures in October 2027. Borrowings bear interest at variable rates based on SOFR or an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin.
The Credit Agreement is intended to serve as a temporary bridge financing arrangement. The Company expects to enter into a new global credit facility with a syndicate of lenders in the coming months; however, there can be no assurance as to the timing or terms of such a transaction. Upon execution of the global credit facility, any outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement are expected to be transitioned into the new facility. As the Credit Agreement was executed after the balance sheet date, no amounts were outstanding under this facility as of January 31, 2026.
Credit facilities - foreign. The Company also has credit arrangements used by its Middle Eastern subsidiaries in the U.A.E., Egypt, and Saudi Arabia as further described below:
The Company maintains a letter of credit facility with a financial institution in the U.A.E. totaling 100.0 million AED (approximately $27.2 million at January 31, 2026) and expiring in July 2026. The facility is non-interest bearing; however, the Company incurs a commission ranging from 0.8% to 1.0% per annum on the face value of issued instruments and is required to maintain cash collateral (margins) ranging from 10% to 15% depending on the type of instrument utilized. As of January 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding guarantees under this facility of 40.5 million AED (approximately $11.0 million). The remaining available balance under the facility was 59.5 million AED (approximately $16.2 million) as of January 31, 2026.
Egypt
In June 2021, the Company's Egyptian subsidiary entered into a credit facility with a financial institution in Egypt, which has been subsequently amended. The facility provides project-based financing and expires in December 2026. The facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of 120.0 million Egyptian Pounds ("EGP") (approximately $2.6 million) and 100.0 million EGP (approximately $2.0 million) as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The line is secured by certain assets of the subsidiary, including accounts receivable, and contains various covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness. As of January 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this facility.
As of January 31, 2026, borrowings under the Company’s credit facility in Egypt bore interest at rates ranging from 15.0% to 20.8%. The 15.0% rate relates to specific government-sponsored initiatives, while the 20.8% rate applies to our general facility limits. The Company had $0.2 million outstanding under this arrangement as of January 31, 2026, and an insignificant amount outstanding as of January 31, 2025. Both amounts are included in "Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had unused availability of approximately $2.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Saudi Arabia
In March 2022, the Company’s Saudi Arabian subsidiary entered into a credit arrangement with a financial institution in Saudi Arabia for a revolving line totaling 37.0 million Saudi Riyals (“SAR”) (approximately $9.9 million at January 31, 2026). The credit arrangement provides project-based financing at interest rates competitive in Saudi Arabia, is secured by certain assets of the subsidiary including accounts receivable, and expires on April 27, 2026. As of January 31, 2026, the facility bore interest at a rate of approximately 8.5%. As of January 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this arrangement. The Company had outstanding borrowings of $2.9 million and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are included in “Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unused availability under this arrangement was $5.3 million and $3.0 million as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are net of both outstanding borrowings and issued letters of guarantee.
Foreign credit facilities - overall
These credit arrangements are in the form of overdraft facilities and project financing at rates competitive in the countries in which the Company operates. The lines are secured by certain equipment, certain assets (such as accounts receivable and inventory), and a guarantee by the Company. Some credit arrangement covenants require a minimum tangible net worth to be maintained, including maintaining certain levels of intercompany subordinated debt. In addition, some of the revolving credit facilities restrict payment of dividends or undertaking of additional debt. The Company guarantees only a portion of the subsidiaries' debt, including foreign debt. As of January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025, the amount of foreign subsidiary debt guaranteed by the Company was approximately $8.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
The Company was in compliance with respect to the covenants under the credit arrangements in the U.A.E., Egypt, and Saudi Arabia as of January 31, 2026. Certain of these arrangements are subject to periodic renewal; while such renewals are being processed, the Company remains in regular communication with the lenders, and the arrangements have historically continued without interruption or penalty. On January 31, 2026, interest rates were based on (i) the EIBOR plus 3.5% per annum for the U.A.E. credit arrangements, which have minimum interest rates ranging from 4.5% to 8.0% per annum; (ii) interest rates ranging from 15.0% to 20.8% for the Egypt credit arrangements; and (iii) an interest rate of 8.5% for the Saudi Arabia credit arrangement. Based on these base rates, as of January 31, 2026, the Company's interest rates ranged from 7.1% to 20.8%, with a weighted average rate of 8.1%, and the Company had facility limits totaling $57.5 million under these credit arrangements. As of January 31, 2026, $21.1 million of the facility limits were utilized to support letters of credit to guarantee amounts committed for inventory purchases and for performance guarantees. Additionally, as of January 31, 2026, the Company had borrowed $5.7 million and had an additional $29.9 million of borrowing availability remaining under the foreign revolving credit arrangements. The foreign revolving lines balances were included as a component of "Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025.
Finance obligation - buildings and land. On April 14, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") to sell its land and building in Lebanon, Tennessee (the "Property"). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company sold the Property for $10.4 million. The transaction generated net cash proceeds of $9.1 million. Concurrently with the sale of the Property, the Company paid off the approximately $0.9 million remaining on the mortgage note on the Property to its lender. The Company used the remaining proceeds to repay its borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, for strategic investments, and for general corporate needs. Concurrent with the sale of the Property, the Company entered into a fifteen-year lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), whereby the Company is leasing back the Property at an annual rental rate of approximately $0.8 million, subject to annual rent increases of 2.0%. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company has four consecutive options to extend the term of the lease by five years for each such option. As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had a net book value relating to this asset of $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, this transaction was recorded as a failed sale and leaseback as the present value of lease payments exceeded substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset. The Company utilized an incremental borrowing rate of 8.0% to determine the finance obligation to record for the amounts received and will continue to depreciate the assets. The current portion of the finance obligation of $0.3 million is recognized in "Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt" and the long-term portion of $8.5 million is recognized in "Long-term finance obligation" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2026. The net carrying amount of the financial liability and remaining assets will be zero at the end of the lease term.
Mortgage Note. On July 28, 2016, the Company entered into a mortgage agreement secured by the Company's manufacturing facility located in Alberta, Canada that matures on December 23, 2042. As of January 31, 2026, the remaining balance on the mortgage in Canada is approximately 5.4 million Canadian Dollars ("CAD") (approximately $4.0 million at January 31, 2026). The interest rate is variable, and was 6.3% at January 31, 2026. The principal balance is included as a component of "Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt" and "Long-term debt, less current maturities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is presented net of issuance costs of $0.1 million as of January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025.
Loan Payable to GIG. In June 2023, in connection with the formation of a joint venture with Gulf Insulation Group (“GIG”), the Company assumed a promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.8 million, which originally carried a maturity date of April 9, 2026. Subsequent to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the Company and GIG entered into discussions to formally extend the maturity of the note. While a specific revised maturity date has not yet been finalized, both parties expect the joint venture to continue for the foreseeable future and the joint venture has continued to operate without any restrictions or disruption. Because the Company does not currently have a contractual, unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months following the balance sheet date, the obligation is classified as a current liability within “Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt” at January 31, 2026, compared to its classification within “Long-term debt, less current maturities” at January 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating a formal amendment to the note agreement and will reclassify the debt to long-term in future periods should a formal extension beyond one year be executed.
We assess going concern uncertainty on a quarterly basis to determine if we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand, working capital and access to capital through financing agreements to operate for a period of at least a year from the date of our consolidated financial statements are issued (the lookforward period). Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including, among other things, our ability to comply with the covenants in our debt agreements, our ability to cure any defaults that may occur under our debt agreements, or forbearances with respect to any such defaults, and our ability to pay, retire, amend, replace or refinance our indebtedness as principal payments come due. We can offer no assurances that we will be able to successfully obtain financing.
A summary of our liquidity and relevant cash flows is presented above. We believe that our unrestricted cash, cash flows from operating activities and availability and commitments under existing financing agreements are sufficient to meet future business requirements for the look-forward period.
Accounts receivable
In 2015, the Company completed a project in the Middle East with billings in the aggregate amount of approximately $41.9 million. The system has not yet been commissioned by the customer. Nevertheless, the Company has settled approximately $40.7 million as of January 31, 2026, with a remaining balance due in the amount of $1.2 million, all of which pertains to retention clauses within the agreements with the Company's customer, and which become payable by the customer when this project is fully tested and commissioned. Of this retention amount, $1.2 million is classified in a long-term asset account.
Stock repurchase plan
On August 29, 2024, the Company retired all remaining treasury stock previously acquired under the stock repurchase program. The retirement was recorded as a reduction to common stock based on the par value of the shares, and the excess over par value was recorded as a decrease in retained earnings in accordance with ASC 505-30, Equity - Treasury Stock.
Critical accounting estimates and policies
The Company's significant accounting policies are discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The application of certain of these policies requires significant judgments or a historical based estimation process that can affect the results of operations and financial position of the Company, as well as the related footnote disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable. If actual amounts ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in the Company's results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known.
Revenue recognition. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue over time for certain contracts when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. Other contracts recognize revenues using periodic recognition of income. Under the input accounting method, income is recognized in each reporting period based on the status of the uncompleted contracts and the current estimates of costs to complete. The amount of revenue recognized is determined by the relationship of costs incurred to the total estimated costs of the contract. Provisions are made for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Claims for additional compensation due to the Company are recognized in contract revenues when realization is probable, the amount can be reliably estimated, and the amount is not subject to reversal. See Note 4 - Revenue recognition, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information relating to the revenue recognition accounting methods.
Income taxes. Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences arising from differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes on temporary differences have been recorded at the current tax rate. The Company assesses its deferred tax assets for realizability at each reporting period. The Company maintains a partial valuation allowance in the United States against certain deferred tax assets.
The Company recognizes a tax position in its consolidated financial statements only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. For further information, see Note 7 - Income taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for the years then ended appearing under Item 8 (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to the Company not designing and maintaining effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement, not designing and maintaining effective controls over segregation of duties related to manual journal entries, account reconciliations and the purchases and payables process, not designing and maintaining effective controls over the review of the financial close process, including the statement of cash flows and verifying the financial statement disclosures agree to the Company's accounting records, and not designing and maintaining effective controls at operating locations in the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA").
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2025 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in management's report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Specialty Piping Systems and Coating Revenue Recognition under the Input Method
As described in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, approximately $52 million of the Company’s revenue for year ended January 31, 2026 relates to specialty piping systems and coating revenue recognized over time under the input method. Under this approach, income is recognized in each reporting period based on the status of the uncompleted contracts and the current estimates of costs to complete. The amount of revenue recognized is determined by the relationship of costs incurred to the total estimated costs of the contract. Generally, these contracts are considered a single performance obligation satisfied over time. Due to the custom nature of the goods and services, the "over time" method is the most faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services to the customer as it measures the value of the work performed. Costs include all material, labor, and direct costs incurred to satisfy the performance obligations of the contract. Revenue recognition begins when a project’s costs are initially incurred. Estimates of total contract costs are reviewed and revised periodically as work progresses.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to specialty piping systems and coating revenue recognition under the input method is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the estimated total costs to complete the contracts and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the total costs to complete. As described in the “Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section, a material weakness was identified that impacted this matter.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the estimates of total costs to complete the contracts. These procedures also included, among others, for certain open contracts (i) testing management’s process for developing the estimated total costs to complete and (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the estimated total costs to complete. Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to the estimated total costs to complete involved considering (i) the terms of the contracts and other documents that support those estimates; (ii) using actual costs to date to assess the reasonableness of the estimate of the remaining costs to complete the contract; and (iii) performing a retrospective review of certain open contracts as of January 31, 2025 to evaluate actual costs incurred to estimated costs.

Note 2 - Significant accounting policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. This includes all wholly owned subsidiaries as well as certain joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue for certain contracts when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. Other contracts recognize revenues using periodic recognition of income. For these contracts, the Company uses the "over time" accounting method. Under the input approach, income is recognized in each reporting period based on the status of the uncompleted contracts and the current estimates of costs to complete. The amount of revenue recognized is determined by the relationship of costs incurred to the total estimated costs of the contract. Provisions are made for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Claims for additional compensation due to the Company are recognized in contract revenues when realization is probable, the amount can be reliably estimated, and the amount is not subject to reversal. Under the output method, revenue is recognized based on the direct measurement of the value of goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods promised under the contract. See Note 4 - Revenue recognition, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information relating to input and output accounting methods.
Operating cycle. The length of contracts varies but is typically less than one year. The Company includes in current assets and liabilities amounts realizable and payable in the normal course of contract completion unless completion of such contracts extends significantly beyond one year.
Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. This includes all wholly owned subsidiaries as well as certain joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Translation of foreign currency. Assets and liabilities of consolidated foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at year-end. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in stockholders' equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions and the related tax effects are reflected in net income. The aggregate foreign exchange transaction loss recognized in the income statement was $
Contingencies. The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, including those involving environmental, tax, product liability and general liability claims. The Company accrues for such liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on developments to date, the Company's estimates of the outcomes of these matters, and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling other similar matters. The Company does not currently anticipate the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to these matters will materially affect the Company's financial position, liquidity, or future operations.
Cash and cash equivalents. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents was $

Accounts receivable. The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from geographically dispersed contractors and manufacturing companies. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition. In the United States, collateral is not generally required. In the United Arab Emirates ("U.A.E."), Saudi Arabia, Egypt and India, letters of credit are usually obtained for significant orders. Accounts receivable are due within various time periods specified in the terms applicable to the specific customer and are stated as amounts due from customers net of an allowance for claims and doubtful accounts. Standard payment terms are generally net 30 to 60 days. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable. The assessment of the allowance for credit losses involves certain judgments and estimates. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company may also establish an allowance for credit losses for specific receivables when it is probable that a specific receivable will not be collected and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Past due trade accounts receivable balances are written off when the Company's collection efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amount due and the amount is deemed uncollectible. The write off is recorded against the allowance for credit losses.
Concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains its U.S. cash in bank deposit accounts at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Cash balances are below FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company's foreign cash is held in accounts at multiple institutions in the various countries in which the Company operates, limiting the concentration of risk internationally. The Company maintains a broad and diversified customer base, operating throughout the United States, the Middle East, and Canada.

The Company conducts periodic reviews of its inventory and records allowances for slow moving and obsolete items to reflect their net realizable value, which is primarily attributable to finished goods.
Long-lived assets. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Interest is capitalized in connection with the construction of facilities and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. Long-lived assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If such a review indicates impairment, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to an estimated fair value.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, as presented in the following table. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the remaining life of the lease or its useful life, whichever is shorter. Amortization of finance lease assets is included in depreciation. Depreciation expense was approximately $

Impairment of long-lived assets. The Company's assessment of long-lived assets and other identifiable intangibles is based upon factors that market participants would use in accordance with the accounting guidance for the fair value measurement of assets. At January 31, 2026, the Company performed an assessment to determine whether there were any triggering events that may have occurred which could indicate that the carrying value of the Company's long-lived assets are not recoverable. Based on this assessment, the Company did not identify any triggering events that would indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable with respect to long-lived assets. Accordingly, there was

Goodwill. The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between intangible assets and the net tangible assets of the acquired business with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. All identifiable goodwill as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, is attributable to the purchase of the remaining 50% interest in Perma-Pipe Canada, Ltd., which occurred in 2016.
The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the carrying amount of goodwill:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Balance at beginning of year | $ | $ | ||||||
| Foreign exchange adjustment | ( | ) | ||||||
| Balance at end of year | $ | $ | ||||||
The Company performs an impairment assessment of goodwill annually as of January 31, or more frequently if triggering events occur, based on the estimated fair value of the related reporting unit or intangible asset. At January 31, 2026, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether there were any triggering events that may have occurred which could indicate that more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amount. Based on this assessment, the Company did not identify any triggering events that would indicate that the fair value is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit for the year ended January 31, 2026. Accordingly, performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test was not required.
Other intangible assets with definite lives. The Company owns several patents including those covering features of its piping and electronic leak detection systems. Patents are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed the legal lives of the patents. The Company expenses costs incurred to renew or extend the term of intangible assets. Gross patents were $
Research and development. Research and development expenses consist of materials, salaries and related expenses of engineering personnel and outside services for product development projects. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense was insignificant in the years ended January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025.
Income taxes. Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences arising from differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes on temporary differences have been recorded at the current tax rate. The Company assesses its deferred tax assets and liabilities for realizability at each reporting period. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.
The Company recognizes a tax position in its consolidated financial statements only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. For further information, see Note 7 - Income taxes.
One of the base broadening provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Act") is the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provisions ("GILTI"). In accordance with guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff, the Company has adopted an accounting policy to treat any GILTI inclusions as a period cost if and when incurred. Thus, for the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, deferred taxes were computed without consideration of the possible future impact of the GILTI provisions, and any current year impact was recorded as a part of the current portion of income tax expense.
Fair value of financial instruments. The Company classifies cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable based on carrying values that approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company's short-term debt, revolving line of credit and long-term debt approximate fair value because the majority of the amounts outstanding accrue interest at variable rates.

Net income per common share. Earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (basic). The Company adjusted for dilutive shares in 2025 and 2024, assuming conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. The dilutive shares are in the following table:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||

| Canceled options during the year | ||||||||
| Restricted stock and stock options with an exercise price below the average stock price | ||||||||
Equity-based compensation. The Company issues or has issued various types of stock-based awards to employees and directors: restricted stock, deferred stock and stock options. Non-cash compensation expense associated with restricted stock is based on the fair value of the common stock at the grant date, and amortized using the straight line method over a vesting period range of to years. Compensation expense associated with deferred stock which has been awarded to non-employee directors is based upon the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant, and since the grant vests immediately it is expensed on the date of the grant. Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized ratably over the requisite service period of the award. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is utilized to estimate the fair value of option awards.
Treasury Stock. In accordance with ASC 505, Equity, the Company accounts for share repurchases pursuant to the repurchase program under the cost method. This results in recognizing the shares as treasury stock, a reduction of stockholders' equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. These amounts include costs associated with the acquisition of the shares. On August 29, 2024, the Company retired all remaining treasury stock previously acquired under the stock repurchase program. The retirement was recorded as a reduction to common stock based on the par value of the shares, and the excess over par value was recorded as a decrease in retained earnings in accordance with ASC 505-30, Equity - Treasury Stock.
Segments. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the CODM, and he uses the Company's consolidated financial information in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has determined that it operates as segment.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Pursuant to this standard update, companies are required to provide additional information, which is primarily attributable to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company adopted the standard effective for the year ended January 31, 2026. The prospective adoption of this standard update expanded the Company's disclosures related to income taxes, but did not impact its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In accordance with this standard update, companies are required to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, aimed at modernizing the guidance for internal-use software development. This guidance removes reference to "development stages" and introduces a "probable-to-complete" recognition threshold to determine when to begin capitalizing software costs. This guidance will be effective starting with our quarterly report for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2028, with prospective, retrospective, or modified transition methods allowed and early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, including our timing and method of adoption.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). ASU 2025-11 is intended to update the guidance in Topic 270 by improving navigability of the required interim disclosures, clarifying when that guidance is applicable and adding a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This standard update will be effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted at any time prior to the effective date and should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company accounts for its revenues under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company defines a contract as an agreement that has approval and commitment from both parties, defined rights and identifiable payment terms, which ensures the contract has commercial substance and that collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company’s standard revenue transactions are classified into two main categories:
| 1) | Specialty Piping Systems and Coating - which include all bundled products in which Perma-Pipe engineers, and manufactures pre-insulated specialty piping systems mainly relating to the district heating and cooling and energy & industrial markets. |
| 2) | Products - which include cables, leak detection products, heat trace products, material/goods not bundled with piping or flowline systems, and field services not bundled into a project contract. |
In accordance with ASC 606-10-25-27 through 29, the Company recognizes specialty piping and coating systems revenue over time as the manufacturing process progresses because one of the following conditions exist:
| 1) | The customer owns the material that is being insulated or coated, so the customer controls the asset and thus the work-in-process; or |
| 2) | The customer controls the work-in-process due to the custom nature of the pre-insulated, fabricated system being manufactured, which has no alternative future use, and there is a right to payment for work performed to date plus profit margin. |
Products revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the promised goods is transferred to the customer, generally upon shipment, or as services are performed (ASC 606-10-25-30).
Index to Consolidated Financial Statements
A breakdown of the Company's revenues by revenue class for the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows.
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||||

| Revenue recognized under input method | % | % | ||||||||||||||
| Revenue recognized under output method | % | % | ||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | % | $ | % | ||||||||||||
The input method is used by certain operating entities to measure revenue by the costs incurred to date relative to the total estimated costs to satisfy the performance obligation. Generally, these contracts are considered a single performance obligation satisfied over time. Due to the custom nature of the goods and services, the Company believes this method is the most faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services to the customer as it measures the value of the work performed. Costs include all material, labor, and direct costs incurred to satisfy the performance obligations of the contract. Revenue recognition begins when a project's costs are initially incurred. Estimates of total contract costs are reviewed and revised periodically as work progresses.
The output method is used by all other operating entities to measure revenue by the direct measurement of the value of goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods promised under the contract. Due to the requirements of certain customers, these contracts often require formal inspection protocols or specific export documentation for units produced. Therefore, the output method is the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance. Depending on the terms of the contract, revenue may be recognized upon the transfer of control, which may occur when units are produced, inspected, and held by the Company at the customer’s request, or when units are produced, inspected, and shipped.
Some of the Company’s operating entities invoice and collect milestones or other contractual obligations prior to the transfer of goods and services, but do not recognize revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied under the methods discussed above. These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the performance obligation is satisfied.
Contract modifications that occur prior to the start of the manufacturing process will supersede the original contract and revenue is recognized using the modified contract value. Contract modifications that occur during the manufacturing process (changes in scope of work, job performance, material costs, and/or final contract settlements) are recognized in the period in which the revisions become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses are determined.
The transaction price associated with the Company's contracts with customers is generally determined based on the fixed amount of consideration as specified in a contract that is generally not subject to change. Additionally, from time to time the transaction price may also include variable consideration in certain instances where it is deemed probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The aggregate of these amounts represents the total transaction price, which excludes amounts that are attributable to sales and value added taxes, or amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The total transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations and recognized as revenue based on the project type and the method used to measure the transfer of promised goods and services to customers. Transaction prices relating to cost-plus contracts are determined by applying the applicable profit margin to costs incurred, whereas transaction prices relating to fixed-price contracts are determined on a lump-sum basis. Standard payment terms are generally net 30 to 60 days, which are customer-specific.
Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed for contract work in progress for which the Company has a valid contract and an enforceable right to payment for work completed. Contract liabilities represent billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings for contract work in progress for which the Company has a valid contract and an enforceable right to payment for work completed. Both customer billings and the satisfaction (or partial satisfaction) of the performance obligation(s) occur throughout the manufacturing process and impact the period-end balances in these accounts. In addition, contract assets include receivables or amounts that are billable based on milestones or conditions beyond the mere passage of time. For additional information, see Note 3 - Retention, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and Unbilled accounts receivable, as further described below.
The Company anticipates that substantially all costs incurred on uncompleted contracts as of January 31, 2026 will be billed and collected within year.

Practical expedients
Costs to obtain a contract are not considered to be incremental or material, and project duration generally does not span more than one year. Accordingly, the Company applies a practical expedient for these types of costs and as such, they are expensed in the period incurred.
As a result of the Company's contracts having an expected duration of less than one year, a practical expedient was applied regarding disclosure of the aggregate amount and future timing of performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of the end of the reporting period.
During the current year, the Company disaggregated its ‘Revolving lines - foreign' into ‘Revolving credit agreement – United Arab Emirates,' ‘Revolving credit agreement – Egypt,’ and ‘Revolving credit agreement – Saudi Arabia.’ Further, ‘Short-term debt’ and ‘Long-term debt’ were stratified by underlying instrument for presentation purposes. This refined presentation provides more detailed information regarding the Company’s capital structure. Prior period amounts have also been disaggregated to conform to the current year presentation.

Borrowings under the Renewed Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an alternate base rate, SOFR rate index, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on a fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") range. Interest on alternate base rate borrowings is the alternate base rate (as defined in the Renewed Senior Credit Facility) plus an applicable margin ranging from
Subject to certain exceptions, borrowings under the Renewed Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the North American Loan Parties’ assets. Subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the Renewed Senior Credit Facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the North American Loan Parties’ ability to create liens, merge or consolidate, consummate acquisitions, make investments, dispose of assets, incur debt, and pay dividends and other distributions.

The Company enters into lease agreements for real estate, including office space, production buildings, and land, as well as non-real estate assets such as heavy machinery, office equipment, and vehicles. Our leases are classified as either operating or finance leases at the commencement date. Operating leases consist of each of the above asset types, which have lease terms of
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine the present value of lease payments at lease commencement. The IBR is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In determining the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability, we evaluate whether a contract contains a lease by assessing if we have the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For arrangements involving multiple components, we have elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance and utility charges) into a single lease component for all underlying asset classes.
Certain of our real estate lease agreements include variable lease payments based on inflation rates, which are contractually capped. These payments are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred. Our lease agreements do not typically include material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants; where present, they are not expected to result in material payments. Furthermore, the Company has elected the short-term lease exception for all asset classes, whereby we do not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not include a purchase option we are reasonably certain to exercise.

Repatriation of foreign earnings
As a result of the one-time transition tax from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”), the Company estimates that distributions from foreign subsidiaries will no longer be subject to incremental U.S. federal income tax as they will either be remittances of previously taxed earnings and profits or eligible for a full dividends received deduction to offset any U.S. federal income tax liability on the undistributed earnings. However, upon repatriation, various state taxes and foreign withholding taxes may be levied on such amounts. Current and future earnings in the Company's subsidiaries in Canada and Egypt are not permanently reinvested. Earnings from these subsidiaries are subject to tax in their local jurisdiction, and withholding taxes in these jurisdictions are considered. The Company's liability was $
Recent U.S. tax legislation
On July 4, 2025, new tax legislation was signed into law (known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” or “OBBBA”), which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were otherwise scheduled to expire at the end of 2025. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, several of which are not effective until fiscal 2026. The Company evaluated the provisions of the OBBBA effective during fiscal 2025 and determined that there were no material impacts on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of provisions effective after fiscal 2025.
U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that is indefinitely reinvested outside the United States.

The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of its valuation allowance in all of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates, evaluates future sources of taxable income and tax planning strategies and may make further adjustments based on management's outlook for continued profits in each jurisdiction.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of the existing deferred tax assets.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. Tax years related to January 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025 are open for federal and state tax purposes. In addition, federal and state tax years January 31, 2007 through January 31, 2010 are subject to adjustment on audit, up to the amount of research tax credit generated in those years. Any NOL carryover can still be adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service in future years’ audits.
The Company's management periodically estimates the probable tax obligations of the Company using historical experience in tax jurisdictions and informed judgments. There are inherent uncertainties related to the interpretation of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company transacts business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, as well as changes to or further interpretations of regulations. If such changes take place, there is a risk that the tax rate may increase or decrease in any period. Tax accruals for tax liabilities related to potential changes in judgments and estimates for federal, foreign and state tax issues are included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Multi-employer plans
The Company contributes to a multi-employer plan for certain collective bargaining U.S. employees. The risks of participating in this multi-employer plan are different from a single employer plan in the following aspects:
| • | Assets contributed to the multi-employer plans by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. |
| • | If a participating employer ceases contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be inherited by the remaining participating employers. |
| • | If the Company chooses to stop participating in the multi-employer plan, the Company may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. |
The Company has assessed and determined that the multi-employer plans to which it contributes are not significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect to incur a withdrawal liability or expect to significantly increase its contribution over the remainder of the contract period.

Note 11 - Joint venture and non-controlling interest
On June 1, 2023, the Company closed on its formation of the joint venture (the "JV Agreement" or "JV") with Gulf Insulation Group ("GIG") a leading provider of pre-insulated piping systems and pipe fabrication, in which the Company acquired a
The Company is the ultimate parent of the JV through its
Pursuant to the applicable guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations and Noncontrolling Interests, the Company determined that the transaction did not meet the necessary conditions to be considered a business as the set of assets acquired did not contain an organized workforce and therefore was recorded as an asset acquisition. The assets transferred by the Company to the JV were recorded at historical cost, and no gain was recognized as a result of this exchange since the Company has a controlling interest in the JV. The Company’s measurement of the acquired assets is comprised of the fair value of the contributed net assets given up by the Company and the fair value of the non-controlling interest, excluding the contributed assets. The non-controlling interest attributable to the other party was recorded as of the investment date and was measured as part of the carrying amount of the ownership interest in the net assets given up by the Company plus the fair value of the non-controlling interest, excluding the contributed assets. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of this exchange. In connection with the joint venture, the Company also assumed a promissory note issued as part of the formation of the JV in the principal amount of $
The Company has a 60% controlling financial interest in the joint venture which is not considered a wholly owned subsidiary. Accordingly, there remains a minority portion of the equity interest that is owned by a third party, GIG. Pursuant to the applicable guidance contained in ASC 810, Consolidations, the balance sheets and operating activities of this investment are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. As of January 31, 2026, the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the JV that are consolidated by the Company totaled $
The Company adjusts net income in the consolidated statements of operations to exclude the proportionate share of results that is attributable to the non-controlling interest. Additionally, the Company presents the proportionate share that is attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest as temporary equity within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This mezzanine presentation is the result of the non-controlling interest being subject to a put option that is not solely within the Company's control and in connection with the equity shares of the business arrangement that is redeemable any time after five years following the date of incorporation. The redemption amount per the JV Agreement is at fair value of the non-controlling interest which is the fair value of ordinary shares of the JV owned by GIG. Further, neither the call option nor put option contained in the JV Agreement met the definition of a derivative as a result of not containing a net settlement provision and the shares not being readily convertible to cash, thereby being considered embedded with respect to non-controlling interest and not a freestanding instrument.
As a result of the non-controlling interest being subject to redemption rights that are not entirely within the Company's control, it was concluded that the necessary conditions were met to be accounted for in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Pursuant to this accounting standard, the Company determined that the only criteria for the security to become redeemable is the passage of time and, therefore, is considered probable of redemption. The Company made a policy election to measure changes in the non-controlling interest immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of non-controlling interest equal to its redemption amount as the non-controlling interest has no stated fixed price or fixed date. As such, at each subsequent balance sheet date following the formation of this business arrangement, the Company must determine whether further adjustment is required to increase the carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest. If the Company determines that the fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest exceeds its carrying value, an adjustment is made to reflect this change. However, if the value is determined to be less than its carrying value, such adjustment is limited to its original carrying value at the formation of the business arrangement. Additionally, adjustments made to reflect the change in the value of the redeemable non-controlling interest are offset against permanent equity within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, net income attributable to the NCI is deducted from net income to arrive at net income attributable to common stock on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table summarizes the activity for the redeemable non-controlling interest:

Credit Agreement
Subsequent to January 31, 2026 and prior to the issuance of these financial statements, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “ Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility that is expected to be used to refinance and replace the Company’s existing credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association.
The Credit Agreement is intended to serve as a temporary bridge financing arrangement. The Company expects that, in the coming months, it will enter into a new global credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, with JPMorgan acting as administrative agent and lead arranger. Upon execution of the global credit facility, any outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement are expected to be rolled into the global credit facility, and the Credit Agreement will be terminated; however, there can be no assurance as to the timing or terms of such transaction.
The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit commitment of up to $

However, the situation remains fluid and may adversely affect our operations, project execution, and the carrying value of our assets.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”) as of January 31, 2026. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of January 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. As required by Rule 13a-15(c) under the Exchange Act, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026. In making such evaluation, management used the criteria described in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on management’s evaluation, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026, due to the material weaknesses identified below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses are as follows:
| ● |
We did not design and maintain effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement. Specifically, changes to existing controls or the implementation of new controls have not been sufficient to respond to changes to the risks of material misstatement in financial reporting. This contributed to the following material weaknesses; |
| ● |
We did not design and maintain effective controls over segregation of duties related to manual journal entries, account reconciliations and the purchases and payables process. We did not design and maintain effective controls over review of the financial close process, including the statement of cash flows and to verify the financial statement disclosures agree to the Company’s accounting records; and |
| ● |
We did not design and maintain effective controls at operating locations in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”), including not maintaining sufficient documentation to support an evaluation that controls over all business processes were designed and operating effectively. |
These material weaknesses resulted in adjustments to property, plant, and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, trade accounts payable, trade accounts receivable, and the statement of cash flows. These adjustments resulted in a revision of the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended April 30, 2024, a restatement as of and for the period ended July 31, 2024 and material adjustments as of and for the period ended October 31, 2024. These material weaknesses also resulted in immaterial corrected and uncorrected misstatements in the statement of cash flows and to stock based compensation expense, unbilled receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, operating lease liability short-term, other long-term assets, cost of sales, property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, income taxes payable, deferred tax assets, income tax expense costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts as of and for the year ended January 31, 2026, and in the interim periods ended April 30, 2025, July 31, 2025, and October 31, 2025.
Additionally, each of these material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement of substantially all accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement in the Company’s consolidated annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
While management, under the leadership of our CEO, has improved our internal control over financial reporting throughout the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, additional time and effort is required to fully complete the remediation activities. We continue to believe these actions will be effective in the remediation of the material weaknesses, but these activities currently remain ongoing.
| ● |
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, we initiated an entity wide risk assessment over our financial reporting and our internal control over financial reporting, including identification of financially relevant systems and business processes at the financial statement assertion level, and to identify controls to address the identified risks. We will continue to complete our risk assessment and enhance the design of existing controls, as well as implement new controls in future period; |
We continue to design and implement controls to identify and evaluate changes in our business and the impact on our internal control over financial reporting; Our remediation plans related to entity level controls, financial reporting controls, and business process controls include:
| ● |
Enhancing our segregation of duties framework within the journal entry and account reconciliation processes and the purchases and payables cycle to ensure appropriate segregation of duties within these areas; |
| ● |
We are updating the design of controls for the preparation and review of the financial close process, including the statement of cash flows and to verify the financial statement disclosures agree to the Company’s accounting records. |
In addition to the items noted above, our remediation plans related to our MENA locations include the following:
| ● |
We continued to enhance the design and operation of controls over business processes that are relevant to our MENA locations; |
| ● |
We continued to formalize our financial reporting processes and procedures. |
The Company anticipates the actions described above will strengthen the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and will address the related material weaknesses described above. However, the material weaknesses cannot be considered fully remediated until the necessary controls have been appropriately designed and implemented. The remediation process and procedures will also need to be in operation for a period of time and management conclude through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. As we continue to evaluate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may design or modify additional controls or certain of the remediation procedures described above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were changes to our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended January 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. These changes include enhancements to the segregation of duties within the journal entry and financial close processes as well as improvements related to the design and documentation of controls at our MENA operating locations.
