Current report

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law. The legislation includes several changes to U.S. federal income tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in calendar year 2025, including the restoration of immediate expensing for domestic research and development expenditures and the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property. The OBBBA also includes certain modifications to the U.S. taxation of foreign activity, including changes to rules governing foreign tax credits, GILTI, FDII, and BEAT, among other changes. Most of these modifications to the U.S. taxation of foreign activity are generally effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. Certain benefits from the OBBBA, such as deducting previously capitalized domestic research and development expenditures, are included in the income tax expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact on future periods. We do not expect the impact of the OBBBA to be material.

Previous wording

The majority of our consolidated revenues relate to performance in the U.S. by the power industry services reportable business segment, which provides EPC services to design, build, and commission large-scale energy projects. In the U.S., electricity demand has reached its highest level in two decades, driven by the expansion of data centers supporting artificial intelligence technologies, the growing adoption of electric vehicles, and the reshoring of manufacturing activities. Keeping up with growing energy demand is further challenged by the aging fleet of traditional power facilities that are at or nearing the end of their operational lives. Throughout the U.S., the risk of electricity shortages grows as the retirement of traditional power plants outpaces their replacements. While renewable energy sources like solar and wind are expanding, they often cannot provide the same level of consistent, around-the-clock power generation as the retiring thermal plants. Natural gas-fired power plants are expected to remain a key component of future capacity additions due to their cost-effectiveness, reliability, and ability to support intermittent energy sources.

Previous wording

Recent changes in U.S. trade policy, including the implementation of new or increased tariffs, have introduced cost and supply chain uncertainties affecting certain construction materials and equipment. Tariffs on imported materials, including steel and aluminum, could significantly impact the cost of building power plants. Tariff measures may also cause import delays, increasing lead times necessary for materials to arrive at our construction sites. The resulting rise in material costs and delivery delays could lead to higher overall project expenses and changes to project timelines. As the current U.S. administration’s approach to tariffs remains fluid at this time, the full extent of these effects remains uncertain. We continue to monitor developments closely, as prolonged or expanded trade restrictions could negatively affect project costs, timing, and customer demand.

Due primarily to the increase in consolidated revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2025 compared with revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2024, consolidated cost of revenues also increased. These costs were $156.8 million and $139.7 million for the three-month periods ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Current wording

With the increase in consolidated revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2025 compared with the six months ended July 31, 2024, the consolidated cost of revenues also increased between the periods.

The gross profit percentage increased between periods primarily due to the changing mix of projects and contract types. In the prior fiscal year, during the three months ended April 30, 2024, gross profit was negatively impacted by losses recorded on an overseas project (see Note 9 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements), which reduced margins by approximately $2.6 million. The gross profit percentages of corresponding revenues for the power industry services, industrial construction services and the telecommunications infrastructure services segments were 20.6%, 10.8% and 18.0%, respectively, for the quarter ended April 30, 2025.

For the six-month period ended July 31, 2024, we reported a consolidated gross profit of approximately $49.0 million, which represented a gross profit percentage of approximately 12.8% of corresponding consolidated revenues. The gross profit percentage increased between periods primarily due to the changing mix of projects and contract types, partially offset by the unfavorable profit adjustments on an overseas project recorded during the prior year in the amount of $2.8 million. The gross profit percentages of corresponding revenues for the Power Industry Services, Industrial Construction Services and the Telecommunications Infrastructure Services segments were 20.0%, 11.8% and 21.6%, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2025.

The decrease of accounts receivable in the amount of $69.3 million, which represented a source of cash during the period, was due primarily to the collection of project-related receivables for the power industry services reportable segment. The decrease in contract liabilities of $15.4 million represented a use of cash, primarily due to the net effect of certain power industry services projects nearing completion and the early phase of construction activities at certain projects. The decrease in the combined level of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $39.6 million represented a use of cash during the period as well. The increase in contract assets of $1.9 million and the increase of other assets of $2.9 million represented uses of cash during the period.

In order to monitor the actual and necessary levels of liquidity for our business, we focus on net liquidity, or working capital, in addition to our cash balances. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, our net liquidity increased by $13.7 million to $315.1 million from $301.4 million as of January 31, 2025, due primarily to our net income, partially offset by the payment of cash dividends, common stock repurchases, and net cash paid for withholding taxes due to stock-based award net settlements. As we have no debt service, as our fixed asset acquisitions in a reporting period are typically low, and as our net liquidity includes our short-term investments and AFS investments, our levels of working capital are not subjected to the volatility that affects our levels of cash and cash equivalents.

Current wording

In order to monitor the actual and necessary levels of liquidity for our business, we focus on net liquidity, or working capital, in addition to our cash balances. During the six months ended July 31, 2025, our net liquidity increased by $43.0 million to $344.5 million from $301.4 million as of January 31, 2025, due primarily to our net income, partially offset by the payment of cash dividends, common stock repurchases, and net cash paid for withholding taxes due to stock-based award net settlements. As we have no debt service, as our fixed asset acquisitions in a reporting period are typically low, and as our net liquidity includes our short-term investments and AFS investments, our levels of working capital are not subjected to the volatility that affects our levels of cash and cash equivalents.

On May 24, 2024, we executed with the Bank the Credit Agreement with an expiration date of May 31, 2027. The Credit Agreement has a base lending commitment amount of $35.0 million and establishes the interest rate for revolving loans at SOFR plus 1.85%. In addition to the base commitment, the credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional commitment amount of $30.0 million, subject to certain conditions. We may use the borrowing ability to cover other credit instruments issued by the Bank for our use in the ordinary course of business as defined in the Credit Agreement.

We make investments in limited liability companies that make equity investments in solar energy projects that are eligible to receive energy tax credits, for which we have received substantially all of the income tax benefits associated with those investments. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, we did not make any cash payments to any solar tax credit entities. As of April 30, 2025, we have $11.5 million remaining of cash investment commitments related to a solar fund, which we expect to fulfill in Fiscal 2026. It is likely that we will evaluate opportunities to make other solar energy investments in the future.
