Tags

SOLV Energy (Nasdaq: MWH) reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $951 million, up 77% year over year, with first half revenue of $1.63 billion, up 72%. Q2 2026 gross profit was $140 million and net income was $67 million, while Adjusted EBITDA reached $117 million (12.4% margin).

First half 2026 net income was $39 million, reflecting higher operating income and lower interest expense, partially offset by non-cash IPO‑related charges. Backlog as of June 30, 2026 was about $8.9 billion, up 44% year over year, with over 23 GW under O&M contract.

On July 1, 2026 SOLV closed the $40.9 million acquisition of Roberson Waite Electric, with up to $9.0 million additional earn-out. The company raised its 2026 outlook, guiding revenue to $3.87–$3.97 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to $485–$505 million, with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.5%–12.7%.

News Explained

The completed financing leaves existing holders with a larger share base while SOLV reports $363,968 thousand cash and no term debt at June 30.

The completed IPO financing recorded $844,249 thousand of net Class A stock issuance, funded $405,203 thousand of term-debt repayment, and left no term debt outstanding at June 30.

Issuing additional shares increases the total share count and reduces existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes, so the reported Class A issuance adds a dilution mechanism while also reducing debt.

At June 30, SOLV Energy reported $363,968 thousand of cash, 123.745 million Class A shares outstanding, and 78.646 million Class B shares outstanding.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, non-controlling interest, non-cash compensation expense, tax receivable agreement
4 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was $117 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-controlling interest financial
"Represents Net Income before Non-Controlling Interest."
Non-controlling interest represents the portion of ownership in a company held by investors who do not have a controlling stake, meaning they do not have enough voting power to make major decisions. It is similar to owning a minority share of a business partner’s company—while they benefit from profits, they cannot control how the company is run. This matters to investors because it shows how much of the company's value is owned by outside shareholders and affects overall financial reporting.
non-cash compensation expense financial
"exclude the impact of the allocation of non-cash compensation expense"
Non-cash compensation expense is the bookkeeping cost a company records when it pays employees with things other than cash—such as stock options, restricted shares, or pension promises—so the company shows an expense even though no cash left the business at that moment. Investors care because these items reduce reported profits, can dilute existing shareholders when converted into shares, and may signal future cash needs to settle those promises—like a company giving employees IOUs that affect both paper earnings and ownership.
tax receivable agreement financial
"Tax receivable agreement liability adjustment"
A contract in which a company agrees to pay a specified party (often former owners after a spinoff or IPO) a share of future tax savings the company realizes. Think of it like agreeing to share a future tax refund with someone who helped create the conditions for that refund. For investors it matters because those payments reduce the cash the company can use for dividends, buybacks, or reinvestment, and therefore affect valuation and returns.

Financial and Business Highlights

  • Last twelve month safety metrics continue to track well below industry benchmarks
  • Record financial performance in the first half of 2026, with revenue up 72% year over year
  • Total backlog as of June 30, 2026 of approximately $8.9 billion, or 44% growth year over year
  • Over 23 GW now under contract for O&M services
  • Closed acquisition of Roberson Waite Electric on July 1, 2026

“SOLV delivered record financial results through the first half of 2026, driven by strong execution across the business and continued demand from customers who rely on us to build, maintain, and enhance critical energy infrastructure,” said George Hershman, Chief Executive Officer of SOLV Energy. “The addition of Roberson Waite Electric further strengthens our platform and expands the solutions we can provide to our customers. With a growing backlog, strong momentum across our operations, and continued focus on execution, we are well positioned for the remainder of the year and are raising our full-year financial guidance.”

Results of Operations

Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 increased 77% year over year to $951 million, bringing first half revenue to $1.628 billion, or an increase of 72% year over year. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in new construction activity and the contribution from M&A activity.

During the second quarter of 2026, gross profit was $140 million, bringing first half results to $259 million. On an adjusted basis, or excluding non-cash compensation expense in cost of revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit was $145 million, bringing first half 2026 results to $269 million.

Gross and Adjusted Gross Margin in the second quarter of 2026 was 14.7% and 15.2%, respectively, compared to 21.1% in the prior-year period. Through the first half of 2026, Gross and Adjusted Gross Margin was 15.9% and 16.5%, respectively, as compared to 18.2% in the prior year period.

The year over year variance in margin includes the contribution in 2025 from large repair projects relative to existing infrastructure services and development-related sales that are no longer part of ordinary course business operations. Additionally, and commencing in the second quarter of 2026, Gross and Adjusted Gross Margin now reflect a prospective classification change of certain annual bonus compensation expense to cost of revenue from selling, general and administrative expense; the impact of which is over 60 basis points to Gross and Adjusted Gross Margin in the first half 2026.

Net income was $67 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $45 million in the prior-year period, reflecting higher operating income driven by revenue growth and a reduction in interest expense following the repayment of term debt in connection with the February 2026 IPO. Net income for the first half was $39 million, compared to $44 million in the prior-year period. First-half net income reflects the benefit of higher operating income and substantially lower interest expense, partially offset by a $11 million non-cash loss on extinguishment of the term debt repaid at the IPO and a $52 million one-time non-cash compensation charge related to the modification and accelerated vesting of legacy equity awards in connection with the IPO.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was $117 million bringing first half performance to $210 million, or 12.4% and 12.9% of revenue, respectively. See the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA in the financial tables included in this press release.

Closed the Acquisition of Roberson Waite Electric

On July 1, 2026, the Company completed the previously-announced acquisition of Roberson Waite Electric, a California-based provider of utility substation construction, testing, commissioning, and related infrastructure services, for $40.9 million in cash, including closing adjustments, and up to $9.0 million payable in subsequent years, subject to certain performance criteria. Roberson Waite Electric brings deep, long-standing relationships with major California utilities and specialized expertise in turnkey substation construction and battery storage deployments, capabilities that directly complement SOLV’s existing transmission and distribution platform.

Financial Outlook

The Company is updating its financial outlook for 2026 reflecting first half results, the anticipated contribution from the Roberson Waite Electric acquisition, the full-year impact of the prospective classification change in certain annual performance based compensation from SG&A to cost of revenue, and the current view of project performance from new construction activity in the second half of 2026.

The Company’s updated full-year 2026 financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2026 is as follows:

($ in millions, unless noted otherwise)UpdatedPrevious1

Non-GAAP Information

Included in this press release are certain financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted Gross Margin that are not required by or prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and are designed to supplement, and not substitute, the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Our board of directors, management and investors use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted Gross Margin to assess our financial performance because such measures allow them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and items outside the control of our management team (such as income taxes). The non-GAAP measures as defined by the Company may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. The presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude unusual or non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results, cash flows or leverage will be unaffected by other unusual or nonrecurring items. Please see the financial tables included with this press release for reconciliations thereof to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The Company does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible; and because not all of the information, such as provisions for income taxes necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is available to the Company without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achieved, however it cannot predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations and the GAAP measures may be materially different than the non-GAAP measures.
