Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is a current report filed by Acuren Corporation (trading symbol: TIC) on September 30, 2025. The filing primarily announces a corporate name change to TIC Solutions, Inc., intended to unify the brand following the recent merger with NV5 Global, Inc. The name change is subject to a Delaware filing expected around October 10, 2025. The report also provides forward-looking financial guidance for the third quarter and full year ending December 31, 2025.
Key Financial Metrics and Guidance
The filing does not contain historical financial results, as unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2025, are not yet available. Instead, the company provides the following outlook ranges for service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (in millions):
| Period | Service Revenue | Adjusted EBITDA |
|---|---|---|
| Three Months Ending Sep 30, 2025 | $460.0 to $480.0 | $75.0 to $80.0 |
| Full Year 2025 | $1,530.0 to $1,565.0 | $240.0 to $250.0 |
Note: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The filing states that a reconciliation to GAAP measures is not provided for these outlook ranges due to the inability to predict future adjustments such as tax provisions and depreciation.
