Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Energy Services of America Corporation reported strong fiscal third quarter 2026 results for the period ended June 30, 2026. Revenue rose to $130.0 million from $103.6 million, a 25.5% year-over-year increase, driven by higher activity across all segments, particularly Gas & Petroleum Transmission. Net income increased to $3.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with $2.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

Gross profit grew to $14.3 million, though gross margin slipped to 11.0% from 11.6% due to a lower-than-expected margin on a large gas transmission project. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $8.3 million from $6.5 million. Selling and administrative expenses increased to $9.7 million, reflecting higher labor and growth-related costs. Backlog was $286.6 million as of June 30, 2026, compared with $325.1 million on March 31, 2026 and $280.7 million a year earlier.

The company highlighted strong demand in water distribution and electrical construction, as well as recovery in gas transmission, aided by favorable spring weather. Reflecting management’s confidence, the quarterly dividend was increased by 33% to $0.04 per share.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"We believe that Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein, considered along with net income"
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.
backlog financial
"Backlog as of June 30, 2026 was $286.6 million, compared to $325.1 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.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
gross margin financial
"Gross margin was 11.0% of revenues, compared to 11.6% of revenues"
Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of section 21E"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Q3 2026 Revenue $130.0 million 25.5% year-over-year increase versus $103.6 million
Q3 2026 Net Income $3.3 million 57.9% year-over-year increase versus $2.1 million
Q3 2026 Diluted EPS $0.18 up from $0.12 in the prior-year quarter

Energy Services of America Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

 

Records 25.5% Year-over-Year Revenue Increase and 57.9% Increase in Net Income

 

HUNTINGTON, W.Va., August 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Services of America Corporation (the "Company" or "Energy Services") (Nasdaq: ESOA), today announced its results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2026.

 

Third Quarter Summary (1)

 

· Revenue of $130.0 million versus $103.6 million
   
· Gross profit of $14.3 million versus $12.0 million
   
· Gross margin of 11.0% compared to 11.6%
   
· Net income of $3.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.
   
· Adjusted EBITDA of $8.3 million compared to $6.5 million
   
· Increased quarterly dividend by 33% to $0.04 per share

 

(1) All comparisons are versus the comparable prior year period, unless otherwise stated.

 

"Our third quarter results reflect strength across each of our segments, thanks to continued demand for water distribution and electrical construction as well as the continued recovery in our gas transmission business. The quarter also benefited from the more favorable weather throughout the spring, allowing our projects to start on or ahead of schedule," said Doug Reynolds, President of Energy Services. “Profitability during the quarter was slightly affected by a lower-than-expected gross profit margin on a large gas transmission project , but the diversity of our business allowed us to absorb this impact and still report a 58% increase in year-over-year net income.”

 

“We remain optimistic about the near and longer-term opportunities for the business, driven by the ongoing replacement cycle for water infrastructure and the growth in electric demand and build out of data centers across the country. This confidence is reflected in the 33% increase in our quarterly dividend, which is an important component in our focus of delivering long-term shareholder return,” Mr. Reynolds concluded.

 

 

 

 

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results

 

Total revenues for the period were $130.0 million, compared to $103.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased work across all segments, particularly Gas & Petroleum Transmission.

 

Gross profit was $14.3 million, compared to $12.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 11.0% of revenues, compared to 11.6% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in gross margin is related to one large gas transmission project, partially offset by higher levels of construction activity across the business.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $9.7 million, compared to $8.8 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase is primarily related to higher labor and related costs associated with the Company's growth, partially offset by improved operating leverage.

 

Net income was $3.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million or $0.12 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

 

Backlog as of June 30, 2026 was $286.6 million, compared to $325.1 million on March 31, 2026 and $280.7 million as of June 30, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included herein. We include these measurements to enhance the understanding of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein, considered along with net income (loss), is a relevant indicator of trends relating to the cash generating activity of our operations. We believe that excluding the items identified above provides a consistent comparison of the cash-generating activity of our operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it facilitates a comparison of our operating performance to other companies that also use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental operating measure. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
