The Company is closely monitoring evolving macroeconomic conditions and heightened geopolitical risks. During the first quarter of 2025, there was a marked increase in economic and trade policy uncertainty globally. Rising trade tensions and changes to trade policy could adversely impact global growth and contribute to inflationary pressures. Global conflicts, tariffs, labor disruptions, and regulations continue to generate volatility in markets and can contribute to supply chain vulnerabilities and pricing fluctuations. The Company remains proactive in its collaboration with suppliers to mitigate potential shortages and reduce supply and price volatility. The Company anticipates a higher level of uncertainty with respect to inflation and other macroeconomic trends.
Current report
The Company continues to focus on expanding its margins by evolving and enhancing its current offerings to building owners. This initiative reflects the Company’s commitment to driving sustainable growth, increasing operational efficiency and delivering greater value to its stakeholders. This evolution is designed to align more closely with current market demands, emerging customer preferences and operational efficiencies, which together contribute to margin expansion. The Company aims to differentiate itself from its competitors by being a one-stop-shop for building owners, capable of providing a full life-cycle of engineered solutions and craft expertise. By meeting diverse customer needs under one roof, the Company deepens customer loyalty. The Company believes that building owners value the convenience and reliability of a single point of contact, which fosters long-term partnerships, reoccurring business and may open doors to larger capital projects. In addition, by evolving its offerings, the Company is able to capture a greater share of the value chain.
Current report
In February 2025, the United States government imposed new import tariffs, including duties on steel and aluminum. The higher cost of imported steel and aluminum has prompted domestic suppliers to raise their own prices for these inputs. These tariffs, along with any additional duties or trade restrictions that may be enacted by the United States or other countries, could increase costs, alter competitive dynamics and reduce the availability of steel, aluminum, resins and other imported components and materials. Because the Company’s ODR segment typically operates on a short sales cycle, it can often pass cost increases on to the customers; however, the Company may be unable to offset all price increases or to secure adequate alternative sources of supply in a timely manner. Although retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on the United States have not yet had a material impact, future developments are uncertain, and the ultimate effect of current or future tariffs on the Company cannot be quantified at this time. Currently the environment related to both domestic and foreign tariffs is fluid and evolving and it is likely that such matters will continue to develop. Given that these matters have been hard to anticipate and are continuing to evolve it is not practical for the Company to predict what, if any, impact these matters may have on the Company in the near and long term but as those matters develop it is possible that the imposition of tariffs and similar matters may impact the Company, and in some cases in material ways.

In February 2022, the Company announced its strategic decision to wind down its Southern California GCR and ODR operations. The decision was made to better align the Company’s customer geographic focus and to reduce losses related to unprofitable locations. During 2023, the Company executed the closeout phases on its remaining Southern California business unit projects and has fully exited the Southern California region aside from certain operational warranty obligations. However, the Company is party to the terms of a sublease agreement for its leased premises in Southern California through April 2027 and remains obligated under the original lease for such office space in the event the sublessee fails to satisfy its obligations under the sublease agreement. See Note 12 – Leases in the accompanying notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Southern California Sublease.

The Company's gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $4.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. ODR gross profit increased $10.4 million, or 53.8%, due to the combination of an increase in revenue and higher margins driven by contract mix. GCR gross profit decreased $5.5 million, or 46.0%, primarily due to lower revenue and lower margins on project work period-over-period. The total gross profit percentage increased from 24.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 27.0% for the same period ended in 2024, mainly driven by the mix of higher margin ODR segment work, the Company becoming more selective when pursuing GCR work, and as a result of the Industrial Air Transaction. Industrial Air was not an acquired entity of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Previous report

The Company's SG&A expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by approximately $7.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to approximately $3.7 million of collective SG&A expenses incurred within the ACME and Industrial Air entities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that were not acquired entities of the Company during the full nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company’s SG&A expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 also increased due to a $2.9 million increase in payroll related expenses and a $0.9 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses. As a result of these factors, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 18.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 16.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Total other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.9 million as compared to total other expenses of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change period-over-period was primarily driven by a $1.1 million increase in interest income related to the Company's overnight repurchase agreements, investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and money market funds, a $0.3 million loss on early debt extinguishment recognized during 2023 and a $0.2 million decrease in interest expense, which was the result of lower overall outstanding debt. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $0.7 million related to the sale of certain property and equipment compared to a less than $0.1 million loss recognized in 2023.

Although the Company has been experiencing strong demand, certain events continue to impact its business, including global economic conditions, the inflationary cost environment, elevated labor costs and disruption in its supply chain. The Company continued to experience elevated levels of cost inflation during 2023, which has continued into 2024, although at lower levels than experienced in 2023. These headwinds have been partially mitigated in 2023 and 2024 by pricing actions taken in response to the inflationary cost environment, supply chain productivity improvements and cost savings initiatives. The effects of inflation also have resulted in central banks raising short-term interest rates, which have remained at increased levels. Therefore, the Company has continued to experience an elevation in its interest expense relative to its outstanding borrowings. Also, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the sanctions imposed in response to this conflict, have increased global economic and political uncertainty and the conflict in the Middle East may add to these issues.

The Company’s SG&A expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 also increased due to a $1.1 million increase in payroll related expenses, a $0.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses and a $0.4 million increase in professional services fees. As a result of these factors, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 17.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 16.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Current wording
The Company's SG&A expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by approximately $3.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s SG&A expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased due to a $2.0 million increase in payroll related expenses, a $0.5 million increase in professional services fees, a $0.4 million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and a $0.2 million increase in travel and entertainment related expenses. These variances include SG&A associated with Kent Island and Consolidated Mechanical, which were not acquired entities of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a result of these factors, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 19.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 19.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The change in fair value of the Earnout Payments contingent consideration was a $0.6 million and a $0.2 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These increases to the contingent liability were primarily attributable to the timing component and probability of meeting the gross profit margins associated with the contingent consideration arrangements as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. See Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements in the accompanying notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Company's earnout arrangements.

Total amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $3.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As a result of the ACME, Industrial Air and Kent Island acquisitions, the Company acquired certain intangible assets in which it recognized an increase of approximately $2.3 million of amortization expense period-over-period. See Note 5 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information on the Company's intangible assets.
Current wording
Total amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The period-over-period increase is a result of the Kent Island and Consolidated Mechanical acquisitions, which were not acquired entities of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2024. See Note 5 - Goodwill and Intangibles in the accompanying notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Company's intangible assets.
Previous wording
Total other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was less than $0.1 million as compared to total other income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change period-over-period was primarily driven by a $0.4 million loss period-over-period associated with the Company's interest rate swap arrangement, partly offset by a $0.2 million increase in interest income related to the Company's overnight repurchase agreements, investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and money market funds.
Current wording
Total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was less than $0.1 million as compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change period-over-period was primarily driven by a $0.2 million loss period-over-period associated with the Company's interest rate swap arrangement, a $0.2 million decrease in interest income related to lower interest rates and a lower average amount of cash invested in overnight repurchase agreements and money market funds, and a $0.2 million decrease in gains associated with the disposition of certain property and equipment.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate was 20.6% and 25.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate period-over-period was primarily due to state income taxes, tax credits, other permanent adjustments and discrete tax items. In particular, the Company’s effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were materially impacted by “excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation” recognized discretely during the first quarter of each year. This benefit reduced the effective tax rate by 35.1% and 10.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively, with the impact varying in prior years. The increase in the 2024 effective rate reduction is primarily related to the higher stock price of the Company resulting in increased tax deductions for the Company upon vesting of equity incentive awards.
Current wording
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company's ODR backlog as of September 30, 2024 was $209.8 million compared to $147.0 million at December 31, 2023. These amounts reflect unrecognized revenue expected to be recognized over the remaining terms of our service contracts and projects. Based on historical trends, the Company currently estimates that 37% of its ODR backlog as of September 30, 2024 will be recognized as revenue over the remainder of 2024. The Company believes its ODR backlog increased due to its continued focus on the accelerated growth of its ODR business.
Current wording
The Company's ODR backlog as of March 31, 2025 was $249.0 million compared to $225.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

Previous wording
In addition, the Company's GCR backlog as of September 30, 2024 was $161.5 million compared to $186.9 million at December 31, 2023. Projects are brought into backlog once the Company has been provided a written confirmation of award and the contract value has been established. At any point in time, the Company has a substantial volume of projects that are specifically identified and advanced in negotiations and/or documentation, however those projects are not booked as backlog until the Company has received written confirmation from the owner or the GC/CM of their intention to award the Company the contract and they have directed the Company to begin engineering, designing, incurring construction labor costs or procuring needed equipment and material. The Company’s GCR projects tend to be built over a 12- to 24-month schedule depending upon scope and complexity. Most major projects have a preconstruction planning phase which may require months of planning before actual construction commences. The Company is occasionally employed to deliver a “fast-track” project, where construction commences as the preconstruction planning work continues. As work on the Company’s projects progress, it increases or decreases backlog to take into account its estimate of the effects of changes in estimated quantities, changes in conditions, change orders and other variations from initially anticipated contract revenue, and the percentage of completion of the Company’s work on the projects. Based on historical trends, the Company currently estimates that 31% of its GCR backlog as of September 30, 2024 will be recognized as revenue over the remainder of 2024. Additionally, the reduction in GCR backlog has been intentional as the Company looks to focus on higher margin projects than historically, as well as its focus on smaller, higher margin owner direct projects.

While the impact of these factors remains uncertain, the Company continues to evaluate the extent to which they may impact its business, financial condition or results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company's actions will serve to mitigate such impacts in future periods. Further, while the Company believes its remaining performance obligations are firm, and its customers have not provided the Company with indications that they no longer wish to proceed with planned projects, prolonged delays in the receipt of critical equipment could result in the Company's customers seeking to terminate existing or pending agreements. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

In the Company’s GCR segment, its efforts continue to focus on improving project execution and profitability by pursuing opportunities that are smaller in size and shorter in duration than historically, and where it can leverage its captive design and engineering services. The Company believes that it is appropriate in the current contracting environment to reduce risk and exposure to large, complex, non-owner direct projects where the trend has been for such jobs to provide risks that are difficult to mitigate. Currently, management believes the historical industry pricing and associated risks for this type of work does not align with the Company’s stakeholders’ expectations, and therefore, the Company continues to take steps to actively reduce these risks as it looks at future job selection and as it completes current jobs.

The prices of products such as steel, pipe, copper and equipment from manufacturers are subject to fluctuation and increases. It is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation, tariffs and price escalation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required. However, these effects are, at times, material to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. During fiscal years 2023 and 2022, the Company experienced higher cost of materials on specific projects and delays in its supply chain for equipment and service vehicles from the manufacturers, and these higher costs and delays in its supply chain persisted in 2024. When appropriate, the Company includes cost escalation factors into its bids and proposals, as well as limit the acceptance time of its bid. In addition, the Company is often able to mitigate the impact of future price increases by entering into fixed price purchase orders for materials and equipment and subcontracts on its projects. Notwithstanding these efforts, if the Company experiences significant disruptions to its supply chain, it may need to delay certain projects that would otherwise be accretive to its business, and this may also impact the conversion rate of its current backlog into revenue.

The Company's cash flows are primarily impacted period to period by fluctuations in working capital. Factors such as the Company's contract mix, commercial terms, days sales outstanding (“DSO”) and delays in the start of projects may impact its working capital. In line with industry practice, the Company accumulates costs during a given month then bills those costs in the current month for many of its contracts. While labor costs associated with these contracts are paid weekly and salary costs associated with the contracts are paid bi-weekly, certain subcontractor costs are generally not paid until the Company receives payment from its customers (contractual “pay-if-paid” terms). The Company has not historically experienced a large volume of write-offs related to its receivables and contract assets. The Company regularly assesses its receivables for collectability and provides allowances for credit losses where appropriate. The Company believes that its reserves for its expected credit losses are appropriate as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, but adverse changes in the economic environment may impact certain of its customers’ ability to access capital and compensate the Company for its services, as well as impact project activity for the foreseeable future.

Previous wording
The decrease in operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to a $17.4 million period-over-period cash outflow related to the aggregate change in the Company's contract assets and liabilities and a $17.6 million change in accounts receivable. The decrease in the Company's overbilled position was due to the timing of contract billings and the recognition of contract revenue, as well as the successful resolution of certain prior year outstanding claims. The change in accounts receivable period-over-period was due to the timing of cash receipts. These cash outflows were partially offset by a $5.5 million increase in net income and a $4.4 million increase on non-cash operating activities, primarily related to depreciation and amortization and the changes in fair value on the Company's contingent consideration arrangements.
Current wording
The increase in operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to a $8.1 million period-over-period cash inflow related to the change in accounts payable, including retainage, which was due to the timing of cash payments and a $7.0 million period-over-period cash inflow related to the change in accounts receivable, which was due to the timing of cash receipts.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $1.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. ODR revenue increased by $66.7 million, or 36.4%, while GCR revenue decreased by $65.2 million, or 34.3%. The increase in period-over-period ODR segment revenue was primarily due to the Company's continued focus on the accelerated growth of its ODR business and as a result of the ACME and Industrial Air acquisitions. Certain of these entities were not acquired entities of the Company during the full nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in period-over-period GCR segment revenue was primarily due to the Company’s continued focus on the execution of its mix-shift strategy to ODR.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Previous report — wording carried elsewhere
The change in fair value of the Earnout Payments contingent consideration was a $2.3 million and a $0.5 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These increases to the contingent liability were primarily attributable to the timing component and probability of meeting the gross profit margins associated with the contingent consideration arrangements as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. See Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements in the accompanying notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Company's earnout arrangements.
