Insights

CECO reports broad-based revenue, orders, backlog, margin and cash-flow gains and issues an upward 2026 outlook.

CECO grew third-quarter orders to $232.9 million (+44%), revenue to $197.6 million (+46%), and backlog to $719.6 million (+64%), while adjusted EBITDA rose to $23.2 million (+62%). These metrics point to stronger top-line momentum and improved operating leverage, supported by record quarterly revenue and a sales pipeline the company states exceeds $5.8 billion. Free cash flow conversion also improved, with quarterly free cash flow of $19.0 million and guidance calling for conversion >60% of adjusted EBITDA in 2025.

Key dependencies and risks remain explicit in the disclosure: revenue realization depends on converting a large pipeline and backlog into timely bookings and deliveries, and adjusted measures diverge from GAAP results (GAAP net income $1.5 million vs non-GAAP $9.3 million), so margin expansion relies on sustained operational gains and integration of recent acquisitions. The company also flags potential timing sensitivity for large power-generation and natural-gas infrastructure orders that could concentrate fourth-quarter results.

Concrete items to watch near-term include actual fourth-quarter booking levels and whether the company achieves its full-year 2025 revenue range of $725–$775 million and adjusted EBITDA of $90–$100 million; over the medium term watch delivery and margin conversion against the introduced 2026 outlook of $850–$950 million revenue and $110–$130 million adjusted EBITDA. Expected monitoring horizon: close focus on Q4 2025 results and fiscal-year 2026 performance.

Reconciliations of GAAP (reported) to non-GAAP measures are in the attached financial tables.

Todd Gleason, CECO's Chief Executive Officer commented, “We delivered another quarter with outstanding growth and multiple financial records, highlighted by another new backlog record, which we achieved along with our highest ever quarterly revenues. Impressively, through three quarters of this year, we already produced more revenue than we did in the entire year 2024, which had previously been a record year. Over the past four quarters, we booked over $950 million in new orders – a testament to our well-positioned and highly diversified portfolio of leading environmental solutions for industrial air, industrial water and energy transition markets. We expect to maintain our consistent growth trajectory as our sales pipeline now exceeds $5.8 billion – which is balanced across our business segments and geographic profile.”

Third quarter operating income was $9.4 million, up $2.2 million when compared to $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. On an adjusted basis, non-GAAP operating income was $17.5 million, up $6.5 million or 59 percent when compared to $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2024. Net income was $1.5 million in the quarter, down $0.6 million compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP net income was $9.3 million, up $4.1 million when compared to $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA of $23.2 million, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.7 percent, was up 62 percent compared to $14.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. Free cash flow in the quarter was $19.0 million, up $7.9 million compared to $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2024.

2025 Full Year Guidance

The Company maintains its revenue outlook of $725 to $775 million, up approximately 35 percent at the midpoint and its expected range for adjusted EBITDA between $90 to $100 million, up approximately 50% at the midpoint, and a free cash flow outlook of greater than 60 percent conversion of adjusted EBITDA. 

“We expect a strong finish to 2025, which we believe could include several significant large orders in the power-generation and natural gas infrastructure markets, as well as new international industrial water opportunities. Depending on the timing of these bookings, our fourth quarter could produce our largest ever booking level. Along with our sustainable commercial programs, we continue to produce meaningful benefits from our operational excellence initiatives that bolster the progress we are making with steady margin expansion. Additionally, I am very proud of our team’s ability to deliver these record-breaking results while continuing to transform our portfolio. Not only have we organically expanded into new markets and improved our IT and ERP infrastructure, but we also successfully divested our Global Pumps business in late Q1 while integrating the back-to-back-to-back acquisitions from late 2024 and early 2025 of EnviroCare International, WK Environmental and Profire Energy,” Gleason added.

2026 Full Year Outlook

The Company introduced its 2026 full year outlook with revenue between $850 and $950 million, up approximately 20 percent at the midpoint of the range, and adjusted EBITDA between $110 and $130 million, up approximately 30 percent at the midpoint of the range. The Company expects full year free cash flow of between 50% to 60% of adjusted EBITDA. 

Mr. Gleason concluded, “We are pleased to introduce our full year 2026 outlook that projects continued strong growth in the top-line and bottom-line. Our record backlog and growing sales pipeline provide meaningful visibility to our revenue profile as well as tremendous market opportunities. This visibility, along with our operating model that blends strong commercial and operational excellence programs, along with programmatic M&A, gives us a lot of confidence in our outlook. We look forward to a strong finish to 2025 and further driving high-performance results for our customers and shareholders in 2026.”

NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

CECO is providing certain non-GAAP historical financial measures as presented above as we believe that these figures are helpful in allowing individuals to better assess the ongoing nature of CECO’s core operations. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is a numerical measure of a company's historical financial performance that excludes amounts that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, as we present them in the financial data included in this press release, have been adjusted to exclude the effects of amortization expenses, acquisition and integration expenses which include legal, accounting, and other expenses, gain on the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business, foreign currency remeasurement and other nonrecurring or infrequent items and the associated tax benefit of these items. Management believes that these items are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations and their exclusion provides individuals with additional information to better compare the Company's results over multiple periods. Management utilizes this information to evaluate its ongoing financial performance. Our financial statements may continue to be affected by items similar to those excluded in the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that all such costs are unusual or infrequent.

Non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of CECO’s results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, CECO cautions investors that non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow stated in the tables above are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP measures presented on a forward-looking basis were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the reconciliation could not be performed without unreasonable efforts. The GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis because we are currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures for these periods but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include amortization expenses, acquisition and integration expenses which include legal, accounting, and other expenses, gain on the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business, foreign currency remeasurement and other nonrecurring or infrequent items and the associated tax benefit of these items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Potential risks and uncertainties, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed under “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and may be included in subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and include, but are not limited to: the effect of the divestiture of our Global Pump Solutions business on business relationships, operating results, and business generally, disruption of current plans and operations and potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the transaction, diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations in connection with the integration of recent acquisitions, the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the transaction, the achievement of the anticipated benefits of transactions, our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and realize the synergies from acquisitions, as well as a number of factors related to our business, including the sensitivity of our business to economic and financial market conditions generally and economic conditions in CECO’s service areas; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials, including as a result of tariffs and surcharges, and rising energy costs; inflationary pressures relating to rising raw material costs and the cost of labor; dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding estimates and method of accounting for revenue; the effect of growth on our infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; the ability to expand operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation as a result of on-going or worsening supply chain challenges or other customer considerations; liabilities arising from faulty services or products that could result in significant professional or product liability, warranty, or other claims; changes in or developments with respect to any litigation or investigation; failure to meet timely completion or performance standards that could result in higher cost and reduced profits or, in some cases, losses on projects; the substantial amount of debt incurred in connection with our strategic transactions and our ability to repay or refinance it or incur additional debt in the future; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations, including with respect to tax policy; our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock and the amounts and timing of repurchases; our ability to successfully realize the expected benefits of our restructuring program; economic and political conditions generally; our ability to optimize our business portfolio by identifying acquisition targets, executing upon any strategic acquisitions or divestitures, integrating acquired businesses and realizing the synergies from strategic transactions; and the unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including cyber security threats, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities or public health crises, as well as management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. Many of these risks are beyond management’s ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Except as required under the federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
