CECO Environmental (CECO) lifts 2026 outlook after record Q2 orders and backlog

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

CECO Environmental reported a record second quarter 2026, its first full period including the June 1 acquisition of Thermon. Orders reached $798.5 million, up 191 percent, and backlog was $1,819.1 million, up 164 percent, supporting management’s multi‑year growth strategy.

Revenue was $285.0 million, up 54 percent, with gross profit of $86.5 million and gross margin of 30.3 percent. Heavy acquisition and integration costs drove a GAAP operating loss of $33.2 million and a net loss of $34.8 million (diluted EPS $(0.80)). On a non‑GAAP basis, net income was $21.5 million, up 147 percent, and adjusted EBITDA was $40.2 million, up 73 percent with a 14.1 percent margin.

Free cash flow was $(24.3) million, but adjusted free cash flow was $53.2 million, excluding Thermon‑related cash payments. Following the acquisition, total assets rose to $3.73 billion and long‑term debt to $711.1 million. Reflecting strong demand and early Thermon synergies, CECO raised its 2026 outlook to revenue of $1.300–$1.375 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $200–$225 million, targeting free cash flow conversion of at least 55 percent of adjusted EBITDA.

At June 30, CECO reported 58,444,845 shares outstanding, $61,066 thousand of cash, and debt split between $16,641 thousand current and $711,065 thousand long-term.

This completed second-quarter results filing reports that, at June 30, 2026, CECO had 58,444,845 common shares issued and outstanding, compared with 35,644,537 at December 31, 2025.

The same balance sheet reported current debt of $16,641 thousand and debt less current portion of $711,065 thousand, while cash and cash equivalents were $61,066 thousand.

6 terms

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA of $40.2 million, up 73 percent compared with $23.3 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-GAAP net income financial

"Non-GAAP net income was $21.5 million, an increase of $12.8 million"

Non-GAAP net income is a company's profit figure that excludes certain costs or income that are included in standard accounting methods. Companies often use it to show what their earnings might look like without one-time expenses or other unusual items, helping investors see the company's core performance more clearly.

free cash flow conversion financial

"Free cash flow conversion of at least 55 percent of Adjusted EBITDA"

Free cash flow conversion measures how effectively a company turns its reported profits into actual cash that can be used for growth, debt repayment, or dividends. It compares the cash generated after expenses to the company's net income, similar to how a person might compare their savings to their paycheck. High conversion indicates the company is efficient at translating profits into cash, which is important for investors assessing its financial health and flexibility.

backlog financial

"orders of $798.5 million, up 191 percent; backlog of $1,819.1 million"

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.

purchase accounting inventory valuation adjustment financial

"includes $9.5 million related to the purchase accounting inventory valuation adjustment"

material weaknesses regulatory

"our ability to remediate our material weaknesses, or any other material weakness"

Material weaknesses are significant flaws in a company’s systems for ensuring its financial reports are accurate and reliable. Like a broken lock on a safe, they increase the chance that financial statements contain big errors or omissions, which can mislead investors about performance and risk; discovering one often raises questions about management oversight, may lead to restated results, and can affect investor confidence and a company’s valuation.

Todd Gleason, CECO's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented: “We delivered an exceptional second quarter, with numerous financial records led by tremendous growth in both orders and backlog. Our multi-year, high-performance growth and value creation model continues to demonstrate the power of our operating model and the growing demand for our leading solutions across diverse global end markets. Additionally, we are pleased to have closed the Thermon acquisition in early June and report that the integration activities are progressing extremely well. Early synergy capture is proceeding ahead of our pre-acquisition integration objectives, and we are driving strong execution across the combined organization.”

Second quarter operating loss was $(33.2) million, compared with operating income of $18.1 million in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, non-GAAP operating income was $32.1 million, up $13.8 million or 75 percent compared with $18.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Net loss was $(34.8) million in the quarter, compared with net income of $9.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income was $21.5 million, an increase of $12.8 million, or 147 percent, from $8.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $40.2 million, reflecting a margin of 14.1 percent, an increase of $16.9 million, or 73 percent, compared with $23.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted free cash flow in the quarter was $53.2 million, an improvement of $56.2 million compared with $(3.0) million in the prior-year quarter.

“Our quarterly results are impressive, and even more so when compared to the then record second quarter results we delivered last year. Our teams continue to deliver outstanding service and solutions to our global customers. The addition of Thermon and their industry-leading technologies and talented workforce helps to expand our record sales pipeline to over $8.5 billion. We expect our sales pipeline will continue to grow as we benefit from organic and inorganic investments to further expand into new markets and introduce new innovations and services. Our most compelling markets are very demanding and require leading partners with expertise and proven solutions. Given our trajectory and ability to invest in future growth, we continue to be confident in our long-term, double-digit growth outlook,” added Gleason.

2026 Full Year Guidance Update

The Company is raising its full-year 2026 outlook as a result of the strong first half performance and record pipeline and backlog. The

updated full year consolidated 2026 outlook is:

•Revenue between $1.300 billion and $1.375 billion, up from $1.275 billion and $1.375 billion

•Adjusted EBITDA between $200 million and $225 million, up from $195 million and $225 million

•Free cash flow conversion of at least 55 percent of Adjusted EBITDA

“Our confidence in our operating model and the robustness of our key growth markets, along with the positive trends from the Thermon integration, allows us to raise our full year outlook. Our third quarter has started very well – with no slowdown in booked projects and sales opportunity discussions proceeding as expected. We continue to monitor the situation in the Middle East as well as certain inflationary items, but we believe we are navigating these challenges with cost actions and solid performance. Our teams do an incredible job every day and as I get to know the Thermon organization it is simply another outstanding addition to our leading portfolio of businesses,” concluded Gleason.

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 useful to investors and management in evaluating the Company's ongoing financial performance, and we believe that they provide greater transparency to investors as supplemental information to its GAAP results. 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 basic and diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow, as presented in the financial data included in this press release, have been adjusted to exclude the effects of acquisition and integration expenses; divestiture gains and expenses; amortization expenses for acquisition-related intangible assets; earn-out expenses (income); restructuring expenses; executive transition expenses; asbestos and other legal matter expenses; foreign currency remeasurement; and the associated tax benefit or cost 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, 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 basic and diluted earnings per 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 acquisition and integration expenses; divestiture gains and expenses; amortization expenses for acquisition-related intangible assets; earn-out expenses (income); restructuring expenses; executive transition expenses; asbestos and other legal matter expenses; foreign currency remeasurement; and the associated tax benefit or cost of these items.

SAFE HARBOR

Any statements contained in this Press Release, other than statements of historical fact, including statements about management’s beliefs and expectations, are 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, both as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and should be evaluated as such. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions regarding future events and business performance. We use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “will,” “plan,” “should” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements in this Press Release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our full year 2026 guidance; expected revenue, margins, Adjusted EBITDA, earnings, cash flow, orders and backlog conversion; the integration of Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. (“Thermon”), which the Company acquired on June 1, 2026; the anticipated benefits and synergies of the Thermon acquisition and the timing of their realization; and our strategic, operational and financial objectives.

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, 2025 and under “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026, and include, but are not limited to: the ability to successfully integrate the Thermon business with the Company’s existing operations; risks that the integration of Thermon may divert management’s attention from ongoing business operations and result in substantial integration and transaction-related costs; the ability of the combined company to retain customers and key personnel, hire qualified personnel and maintain relationships with its suppliers and customers following the Thermon acquisition, and the resulting effects on the combined company’s operating results and business generally; the risk that problems may arise in successfully integrating the Thermon business, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; the risk that the combined company may be unable to achieve the synergies anticipated from the Thermon acquisition or that it may take longer than expected to achieve those synergies; risks associated with the preliminary purchase accounting for the Thermon acquisition, including changes resulting from the finalization of the purchase price allocation and the resulting effects on goodwill, intangible assets, amortization expense and other financial statement amounts; dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding estimates and method of accounting for revenue; the concentration of our orders and backlog in large-scale power generation projects and the level of demand in the end markets we serve; our ability to convert backlog into revenue, including the timing of project execution and the right of customers to cancel or delay orders; 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 ongoing or worsening supply chain challenges, or other customer-driven project delays relating to supply chain challenges or other customer considerations, including those related to the conflict in the Middle East; 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 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; the substantial amount of debt incurred in connection with the Thermon acquisition and other strategic transactions, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, and our ability to service, repay or refinance that debt or incur additional debt in the future; changes in interest rates, our ability to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants under our senior secured credit facility, and our ability to maintain sufficient borrowing availability thereunder; our ability to generate cash flow from operations and to manage working capital, including customer advance payments, progress billings and the timing of customer collections; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; 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, if any; 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; the unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including cybersecurity threats, acts of terrorism, outbreaks of war or hostilities or public health crises, as well as management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors; and our ability to remediate our material weaknesses, or any other material weakness that we may identify in the future, that could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

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 any related 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.
