Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Backlog up 10% with positive year-to-date sales momentum entering 2026
  • 2026 revenue guidance issued at 2%–7% growth, built bottoms-up to the division level with high management confidence
  • Data center revenue nearly doubled year-over-year to ~$70 million in 2025, with ~$100 million of 2026 revenue line of sight supported by contracted backlog
  • Q4 gross margin dollars and percentages up across all three segments (I&M, CE, GEO)
  • Completed three small tuck-in acquisitions in the quarter with combined business growth of 12% for the full year across all three segments
  • Established a new $125 million share repurchase program alongside continued tuck-in M&A

Risks & pressure points

  • GAAP net loss of $7.7 million in Q4 and $351.5 million for the full year 2025
  • Q4 I&M segment revenue declined 12% organically and operating income fell 21% year-over-year, attributed to customer cost-reduction programs and subdued new project awards
  • I&M utilization declined ~300 basis points year-over-year in Q4 due to mix shift toward higher-margin transactional work
  • Federal funding lapse during the quarter slowed procurement and approval processes, pressuring near-term GEO growth
  • CEO transition creates execution risk during the integration phase, with Tal Pizzey retiring after nearly four decades
  • Amortization of acquired intangibles increased to $104.9 million in Q4 vs. $54.0 million in the prior-year quarter, pressuring GAAP earnings
