AI Brief

Q4 FY25 earnings call · Feb 26, 2026
Q4 FY25

TL;DR. Willdan closed record fiscal 2025 with contract and net revenue both up more than 20%, adjusted EBITDA up 40.2% with margin crossing 20% for the first time, and a swing to a net cash position, while issuing 2026 guidance for adjusted diluted EPS of $4.50-$4.70 that is below the $4.89 reported in 2025 because the 179D deduction is scheduled to expire at the end of June 2026.

Bullish
  • + Record fiscal 2025 with both contract and net revenue growing greater than 20% and 17% organic net revenue growth
  • + Adjusted EBITDA grew 40.2% to $79.5 million with margin surpassing the 20% target for the first time
  • + Net income more than doubled to $52.6 million with adjusted EPS up 101% to $4.89, aided by a 31.4% effective tax rate benefit
  • + Free cash flow of $71 million and a swing to a net cash position of $17 million with effectively zero leverage
  • + 2026 guidance targets net revenue of $390-$405 million and adjusted EBITDA of $85-$90 million, implying continued growth and margin above 20%
Bearish
  • − 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $4.50-$4.70 is below the $4.89 reported in 2025, driven by the scheduled expiration of the 179D deduction at the end of June 2026
