Recent Company History

Over the last several months, IES Holdings has consistently reported strong fundamentals and executed on strategic M&A. The fiscal 2025 full-year release on Nov 21, 2025 showed solid growth in revenue, operating income, and backlog, and was followed by a positive price reaction. The company then announced and later closed the Gulf Island acquisition, with both the agreement on Nov 7, 2025 and completion on Jan 16, 2026 met with gains. Earnings release scheduling updates have also seen modest positive reactions, suggesting investors have generally rewarded this news flow.

Analysis

The stock dropped -19.9% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite strong reported metrics would contrast with recent patterns, where earnings and acquisition updates have generally seen positive moves. The quarter showed revenue of $871 million, net income of $91.4 million, and backlog of $2.6 billion, but the release also highlighted weakness in the Residential segment and housing-related pressures. Investors could have focused on cyclicality in housing, potential volatility from investment gains, or integration and capital allocation risks around Gulf Island.

Key Terms

non-gaap, ebitda, backlog, remaining performance obligations, +2 more
6 terms
non-gaap financial
"This press release includes adjusted net income attributable to IES, adjusted diluted earnings per share... each of which is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”)."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
ebitda financial
"in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables included herein, adjusted net income... EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income from operations before income taxes"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
backlog financial
"Backlog (a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined below) of approximately $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2025"
A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.
remaining performance obligations financial
"Remaining performance obligations, a GAAP measure of future revenue to be recognized from current contracts with customers, of approximately $1.8 billion"
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
form 10-q regulatory
"refer to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025"
A Form 10-Q is a detailed report that publicly traded companies are required to file with regulators three times a year, providing an update on their financial health and business activities. It is important for investors because it offers timely insights into a company's performance, helping them make informed decisions about buying or selling stocks. Think of it as a regular check-up report that shows how well a company is doing.
phantom stock units financial
"20,077 performance‑based phantom stock units granted to Mr. Gendell vested, with 13,179 shares withheld for taxes"
Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.

Overview of Results

“Fiscal 2026 is off to a strong start," said Matt Simmes, President and Chief Executive Officer. "For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we delivered a 16% increase in revenue and a 31% increase in operating income compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Robust demand in key end markets, particularly related to data centers, continued to drive growth in our Communications, Infrastructure Solutions and Commercial & Industrial segments. Our ability to deploy craft labor effectively, support our customers with innovative solutions as they expand, and deliver high quality project execution allowed us to scale effectively and improve operating margins year over year. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we acquired Gulf Island, which adds significant new capacity, skilled labor, and expanded capabilities to our business. This acquisition advances our strategy to further expand our Infrastructure Solutions segment and deepen our role in the building and rebuilding of U.S. infrastructure.

"In our Residential segment, the challenging housing market we faced throughout fiscal 2025 has not yet begun to improve. Housing affordability challenges, availability and cost of insurance, and overall economic uncertainty continue to weigh on consumer demand, resulting in a decrease in Residential revenue and earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with the prior year. Given the challenging market conditions, we have prioritized our plumbing and HVAC expansion plans to focus on those markets where we already have a strong presence in the single-family electrical business. While we expect these current economic challenges to persist in the near term, particularly through the seasonally slower winter season, we remain optimistic about the longer-term outlook for our Residential business."

Our Communications segment’s revenue was $351.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of $119.0 million or 51% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Continued strong demand in the data center market was the primary driver of the increase, while demand in the distribution center market also continued to grow. The segment's operating income increased to $57.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with $28.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, reflecting the increase in revenue, successful project execution, and improved margins on projects well-suited to our skilled workforce.

Our Residential segment’s revenue was $284.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, a decrease of $35.9 million or 11% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2025, as a result of the continued softness in the housing market. Most home builders have continued to offer incentives to buyers, passing a portion of the cost on to us and other suppliers in the form of price reductions for our services, while some have focused on reducing existing inventory rather than starting new projects. Both of these approaches to addressing the current challenging market conditions have put continued pressure on pricing, resulting in reduced revenue and operating margins in our single-family housing business. In our multi-family business, lower revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with the prior year reflects the impacts of declining backlog in recent years. As a result of these factors, the Residential segment’s operating income decreased to $8.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with $23.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Our Infrastructure Solutions segment’s revenue was $140.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of $32.1 million or 30% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by continued strong demand in our custom engineered solutions business, primarily in the data center end market, as well as the continued expansion of our field services offerings. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $35.6 million, compared with $23.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The year-over-year profit improvement reflects the impact of investments we have made over the last several years to increase capacity to meet increasing demand. Improved pricing and productivity improvements as our newer facilities ramp up production also contributed to the increase in operating income.

Our Commercial & Industrial segment’s revenue was $94.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of $6.3 million or 7% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2025, while segment operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $9.7 million compared with $7.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 reflect continued solid demand and strong execution in the data center end market, as well as expansion of one of our operations in the Midwest market.

Jeff Gendell, Executive Chairman, commented, “With the strong cash flows generated by our operations over the past several quarters, we have continued to invest aggressively in organic growth. Additionally, we have increased our investment portfolio of marketable securities, which contributed $17 million of unrealized gains during the quarter ended December 31, 2025. We also recognized $4.2 million equity earnings from our equity investment in the CB&I storage solutions business during the quarter. Although these investments can add volatility to our earnings from quarter to quarter, we believe this provides an opportunity to generate returns from our cash while we continue to evaluate opportunities to grow the business through acquisitions and ongoing investment in our core operations.”

Capital Allocation; Stock Buyback Plan

“Capital allocation remains a top priority, as we seek to generate strong returns on our operating cash flow," added Tracy McLauchlin, Chief Financial Officer. "We ended the quarter with $88.8 million of cash, no debt, and $169.9 million of marketable securities. We leveraged our strong financial position to purchase Gulf Island in January 2026 for an aggregate equity value of $192.0 million (or approximately $152.0 million net of cash acquired), which we funded with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility."

Capital allocation highlights during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 include the following:

  • We supported the growth of our operating business with $46.6 million in capital expenditures
  • We used $48.6 million of our excess cash to purchase marketable securities

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments

This press release includes adjusted net income attributable to IES, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders, and backlog, and, in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables included herein, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income from operations before income taxes, each of which is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Management believes that these measures provide useful information to our investors by, in the case of adjusted net income attributable to IES, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, adjusted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income from operations before income taxes, distinguishing certain nonrecurring events such as litigation settlements, significant expenses associated with leadership changes, or gains or losses from the sale of a business, or noncash events, such as impairment charges or unrealized gains and losses on our investments, or, in the case of backlog, providing a common measurement used in IES's industry, as described further below, and that these measures, when reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, help our investors to better identify underlying trends in the operations of our business and facilitate easier comparisons of our financial performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Remaining performance obligations represent the unrecognized revenue value of our contract commitments. While backlog is not a defined term under GAAP, it is a common measurement used in IES’s industry and IES believes this non-GAAP measure enables it to more effectively forecast its future results and better identify future operating trends that may not otherwise be apparent. IES’s remaining performance obligations are a component of IES’s backlog calculation, which also includes signed agreements and letters of intent which we do not have a legal right to enforce prior to work starting. These arrangements are excluded from remaining performance obligations until work begins. IES’s methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by other companies.

For further details on the Company’s financial results, please refer to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by January 30, 2026, and any amendments thereto.

Certain statements in this release may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, all of which are based upon various estimates and assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable as of the date hereof. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pursue,” “target,” “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, a general reduction in the demand for our products or services; changes in general economic conditions, including supply chain constraints, high rates of inflation, changes in consumer sentiment, elevated interest rates, and market disruptions resulting from a number of factors, including geo-political events; competition in the industries in which we operate, which could result in the loss of one or more customers or lead to lower margins on new projects; the use of estimates in placing bids on fixed price contracts, variations from estimated contract costs and our ability to successfully manage and execute projects, the cost and availability of qualified labor and the ability to maintain positive labor relations, and our ability to pass along increases in the cost of commodities used in our business; our ability to enter into, and the terms of, future contracts; the existence of a small number of customers from whom we derive a meaningful portion of our revenues; reliance on third parties, including subcontractors and suppliers, to complete our projects; the inability to carry out plans and strategies as expected, including the inability to identify and complete acquisitions that meet our investment criteria, or the subsequent underperformance of those acquisitions; challenges integrating new businesses into the Company or new types of work, products or processes into our segments; backlog that may not be realized or may not result in profits; failure to adequately recover on contract change orders or claims against customers; closures or sales of our facilities resulting in significant future charges or a significant disruption of our operations; the impact of future epidemics or pandemics on our business; an increased cost of surety bonds affecting margins on work and the potential for our surety providers to refuse bonding or require additional collateral at their discretion; the impact of seasonality, adverse weather conditions, and climate change; fluctuations in operating activity due to factors such as cyclicality, downturns in levels of construction or the housing market, and differing regional economic conditions; difficulties in managing our billings and collections; accidents resulting from the physical hazards associated with our work and the potential for accidents; the possibility that our current insurance coverage may not be adequate or that we may not be able to obtain policies at acceptable rates; the effect of litigation, claims and contingencies, including warranty losses, damages or other latent defect claims in excess of our existing reserves and accruals; costs and liabilities under existing or potential future laws and regulations, including those laws and regulations related to the environment and climate change, as well as the inability to transfer, renew and obtain electrical and other professional licenses; interruptions to our information systems and cyber security or data breaches; expenditures to conduct environmental remediation activities required by certain environmental laws and regulations; loss of key personnel, ineffective transition of new management, or general labor constraints; credit and capital market conditions, including changes in interest rates that affect the cost of construction financing and mortgages, and the inability of some of our customers to obtain sufficient financing at acceptable rates, which could lead to project delays or cancellations; limitations on our ability to access capital markets and generate cash from operations to fund our capital needs; the impact on our effective tax rate or cash paid for taxes from changes in tax positions we have taken or changes in tax laws; difficulty in fulfilling the covenant terms of our revolving credit facility, which could result in a default and acceleration of any indebtedness under such revolving credit facility; reliance on certain estimates and assumptions that may differ from actual results in the preparation of our financial statements and the impacts of new accounting, control and operating procedures resulting from new accounting pronouncements; uncertainties inherent in the use of percentage-of-completion accounting, which could result in the reduction or elimination of previously recorded revenues and profits; the recognition of potential goodwill, long-lived assets and other investment impairments; the existence of a controlling shareholder, who has the ability to take action not aligned with other shareholders or to dispose of all or a significant portion of the shares of our common stock it holds, which may trigger certain change of control provisions in a number of our material agreements; the relatively low trading volume of our common stock, which could increase the volatility of our stock price and could make it more difficult for shareholders to sell a substantial number of shares for the same price at which shareholders could sell a smaller number of shares; the possibility that we issue additional shares of common stock, preferred stock or convertible securities that will dilute the percentage ownership interest of existing stockholders and may dilute the value per share of our common stock; the potential for substantial sales of our common stock, which could adversely affect our stock price; the impact of increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors and customers, or new or changing regulations, with respect to climate change or environmental impacts of our operations; the cost or effort required for our shareholders to bring certain claims or actions against us, as a result of our designation of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings; and the possibility that our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent all possible errors that could occur, as well as other risk factors discussed in this document, in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025 and in the Company’s other reports on file with the SEC. You should understand that such risk factors could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those experienced previously or those expressed in such forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any information or any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release.
