The company operates 22 facilities across the U.S.

Key Financial Metrics (Six Months Ended June 30, 2026)

Margins: Manufacturing margin was 9.3% (down from 10.9% in the prior year). Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.4% (down from 10.0%).

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net sales increased 14.9% year-over-year to $307.8 million, driven by organic growth in the Datacenter & Critical Power and Construction & Access markets, as well as the impact of the Accu-Fab acquisition completed in July 2025.
• Profitability Decline: The company reported a net loss of $10.3 million compared to a net loss of $1.1 million in the prior year. Operating loss widened to $7.3 million from operating income of $1.7 million.
• Cost Pressures: Manufacturing margins contracted by 160 basis points due to non-recurring restructuring costs, project launch costs for the datacenter market, and lower capacity utilization in the commercial vehicle sector.
• Expense Increases: Interest expense surged 140.7% to $7.1 million due to higher average borrowings and interest rates. Amortization of intangible assets increased 80.9% due to the Accu-Fab acquisition.
• Cash Flow: Operating cash flow turned negative at $(1.3) million, a significant decline from $23.3 million in the prior year, primarily due to increased working capital requirements (inventory and receivables) and lower net income.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Expenditures: Full-year 2026 capital expenditures are expected to range between $25 million and $35 million, driven by investments to support accelerating demand in the datacenter market.
• Liquidity: As of June 30, 2026, the company had $108.5 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. Management believes operating cash flow and available borrowings are sufficient to fund operations for 2026 and beyond.
• Restructuring: The company completed a restructuring plan as of June 30, 2026, involving the consolidation of warehouses and optimization of its footprint. Total charges incurred were $3.5 million. No additional charges are expected.
• Key Risks:
  • Macroeconomic conditions including inflation, elevated interest rates, and labor availability.
  • Volatility in raw material prices (steel, aluminum) and ability to pass costs to customers.
  • Dependence on large customers and the datacenter & critical power end-market demand.
  • Ability to access capital markets for future growth or acquisitions.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Covenants: Verify continued compliance with the amended credit agreement covenants (Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.75:1 and Leverage Ratio of 5.25:1 for Q2 2026).
• Working Capital Trends: Monitor the trajectory of Accounts Receivable and Inventory levels, which significantly impacted operating cash flow in the first half of 2026.
• Datacenter Demand: Assess the sustainability of the rapid revenue growth in the Datacenter & Critical Power segment, which is a primary driver of current capital expenditure plans.
• Interest Rate Exposure: Evaluate the impact of floating-rate debt (SOFR + margin) on future interest expenses given the current high-rate environment.
• Equity Dilution: Review the impact of the May 2026 stock offering (5 million shares issued at $20.00) on earnings per share and ownership structure.
