"Fiscal 2025 was a year of meaningful growth for the Company, primarily driven by demand within our Gas & Water Distribution segment and our acquisition of Tribute last December," said Doug Reynolds, President of Energy Services. "Full-year profitability was negatively impacted by very unfavorable winter weather, but we continue to execute on these delayed projects."
"We believe the outlook for Fiscal 2026 remain very favorable. We continue to experience strong demand within the water and wastewater segment as municipalities and private utility companies are replacing and upgrading older systems and our Electrical, Mechanical and General segment are benefiting from increased construction and service opportunities. Our recent acquisition of Rigney Digital Systems enhances the services offered by Nitro Construction and should boost the margin profile for the segment. Also, we are beginning to see a pickup in activity within our Gas Transmission over the past year. Overall, we remain optimistic about the prospects of the business and will continue to be opportunistic with regards to acquisitions, which should deliver long-term value to our shareholders," Mr. Reynolds concluded.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Results
Total revenues for the period were $130.1 million, compared to $104.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Increased work within the Gas & Water Distribution and Electrical, Mechanical and General business lines more than offset lower revenue within the Gas & Petroleum Transmission segment.
Gross profit was $16.5 million, compared to $17.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 12.6% of revenues, compared to 16.8% of revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease is related to sales mix and timing of projects across the business.
Selling and administrative expenses were $9.0 million, compared to $8.8 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase is primarily related to additional personnel hired to secure and manage work for expected growth.
Net income was $4.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2025 Financial Results
Total revenues for the year were $411.0 million, compared to $351.9 million in fiscal 2024. Increased work within the Gas & Water Distribution and Electrical, Mechanical and General business lines was partially offset by lower revenue within the Gas & Petroleum Transmission segment.
Gross profit in fiscal 2025 was $38.8 million, compared to $50.0 million in the prior year. Gross margin was 9.4% of revenues, compared to 14.2% of revenues in fiscal 2024. The decrease is related to very unfavorable winter weather which delayed multiple projects into the second half of the year.
Selling and administrative expenses in fiscal 2025 were $34.6 million, compared to $30.1 million in the prior year.
Net income was $380,000 or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $25.1 million, or $1.51 per diluted share in fiscal 2024. The prior year's results include approximately $11.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, related to proceeds from a legal judgement.
Backlog as of September 30, 2025 was $259.7 million, compared to $304.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and $243.2 million as of September 30, 2024.
