Positive
- Double-digit 2026 growth outlook: Revenue guidance of $1.275–$1.375 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $195–$225 million imply roughly 20% and 25% year-over-year growth at the midpoints for the combined company.
- Synergy and cash focus: Management targets at least $40 million of cost synergies from the Thermon integration and projects free cash flow of at least 55% of Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2026.
Negative
- Integration and execution risks: Forward-looking statements highlight challenges such as successfully integrating Thermon, achieving intended synergies, managing increased debt from strategic transactions, and handling supply chain, inflationary, and fixed-price contract risks.
Insights
Thermon acquisition drives double‑digit 2026 growth guidance and targeted synergies.
CECO Environmental now frames 2026 as a larger, combined business after acquiring Thermon Group Holdings. Revenue guidance of $1.275–$1.375 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $195–$225 million imply roughly 20% and 25% year-over-year growth at the midpoints.
Management highlights at least $40 million in expected cost synergies and free cash flow of at least 55% of Adjusted EBITDA, suggesting a focus on integration efficiency and cash generation. Execution still depends on successful integration, maintaining strong orders in sectors like power generation and data centers, and realizing the synergy plan described for 2026.

CECO Environmental Provides Post-Closing Update on Thermon Transaction
Updates Full Year 2026 Outlook to Incorporate Combination
ADDISON, Texas, June 9, 2026 – CECO Environmental Corp. (Nasdaq: CECO) (“CECO” or the “Company”), a leading environmentally focused, diversified industrial company whose solutions protect people, the environment and industrial equipment, today updated investors on the recent acquisition of Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. (“Thermon”), a diversified industrial technology company and a global leader in industrial process heating solutions.
“I am pleased to share that approximately one week after closing our acquisition of Thermon, the initial integration phase is on track and delivering immediate benefits,” said Todd Gleason, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CECO. “Week one activities were positively received by employees, channel partners, customers and investors. I met with hundreds of legacy Thermon employees, and it was great to welcome them to CECO. Our detailed integration program ensured we experienced no operating challenges and we have already begun to capture cost and growth synergies. Overall, we remain very confident in our ability to generate $40 million, or more, in cost synergies.
Full Year 2026 Combined Company Outlook
The Company updated its full year 2026 guidance to reflect an initial outlook for the combined company. The transaction closed on June 1, 2026, and guidance reflects seven months (June through December) of contribution from Thermon.
The Company expects full year revenue to be between $1.275 billion and $1.375 billion, up approximately 20 percent at the midpoint of the range, year over year. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be between $195 and $225 million, up approximately 25 percent at the midpoint of the range, year over year. Outlook for full year Free Cash Flow is to generate at least 55 percent of Adjusted EBITDA.
“Our full year outlook reflects the impact we expect from adding Thermon to the balance of the year. We continue to see incredibly strong orders and market opportunities – especially in power generation, data centers, semiconductors and continued industrial reshoring projects. In fact, already in early June the legacy CECO businesses have booked orders greatly exceeding previous records, and we have several more weeks to add more bookings and backlog. These strong market conditions, coupled with the expected cost synergies – which are already on-or-ahead of schedule – gives me a lot of confidence that the initial full year outlook as a combined company has opportunities for overperformance,” concluded Gleason.
