Net liquidity, or working capital, is defined as total current assets less total current liabilities.

David Watson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Argan, commented, “We drove continued momentum in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, as reflected in consolidated revenue of $237.7 million, gross margin of 18.6%, significantly improved diluted earnings per share of $2.50 and substantially increased EBITDA of $36.2 million. Additionally, demand for our capabilities across all of our business segments remains strong, with record backlog of $2.0 billion.

“We achieved a few project milestones in the quarter, reflecting excellent execution and solid progress within our project base. During the quarter, we completed our LNG project in Louisiana and achieved first fire at one of our Trumbull units, followed by first fire at the second Trumbull unit occurring in August. Several of our renewable projects advanced meaningfully this summer, as cooperative weather allowed us to make significant progress. Additionally, in July we announced that we entered into an engineering, procurement and construction services contract for the Platin Power Station located in Ireland. The facility will provide approximately 170 MW of generation capacity to the grid during periods of high demand and supply shortfall.

“With our diverse capabilities, longstanding customer and vendor relationships, and track record of success, Argan remains well positioned to benefit from the current demand environment as the industry responds to the urgent need for reliable energy resources to strengthen the power grid. The ongoing electrification of everything requires an uninterrupted supply of reliable, high-quality energy, and we are a proven partner in constructing the types of large and complex power generating facilities that are necessary to support the unprecedented growth in power demand. We’re excited about the opportunities we’re seeing in the marketplace and remain focused on our disciplined approach to pursuing and winning the right projects, with the right partners, in the right geographies.�

Second Quarter Results

Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2025 were $237.7 million, an increase of $10.7 million, or 4.7%, from consolidated revenues of $227.0 million reported for the comparable prior year quarter. The increase in the number of current projects and contract backlog has resulted in increased project activity and the related revenues compared to the prior year quarter. During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, several recently awarded power plant projects were in their early stages of activity with limited revenues, while the Company’s mature projects continued to generate significant activity.

For the quarter ended July 31, 2025, Argan’s consolidated gross profit was $44.3 million, or 18.6% of consolidated revenues. Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended July 31, 2024 was $31.1 million, or 13.7% of consolidated revenues. The increase from the comparable prior year quarter is primarily due to improved gross profit margins for the Power Industry Services segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14.2 million and $12.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and represented 6.0% and 5.5% of corresponding consolidated revenues, respectively.

Other income, net, for the three months ended July 31, 2025 was $5.6 million, which primarily reflected investment income earned during the period. During the quarter ended July 31, 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million on pre-tax book income of $35.6 million, which reflects a meaningful benefit from the favorable deductions resulting from stock option exercises during the period. For the comparable period last year, Argan recorded income tax expense of $6.1 million on pre-tax book income of $24.3 million.

For the quarter ended July 31, 2025, Argan achieved net income of $35.3 million, or a record $2.50 per diluted share, compared to $18.2 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, for last year’s second quarter. EBITDA for the quarter ended July 31, 2025 increased to $36.2 million compared to $24.8 million in the same quarter of last year.

Argan continues to generate signficant cash flow and increased its total balance of cash, cash equivalents and investments during the quarter. The total balances were $572.2 million and $525.1 million as of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively. Balance sheet net liquidity was $344.5 million at July 31, 2025 and $301.4 million at January 31, 2025; furthermore, the Company had no debt.

First Six Months Results

Consolidated revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2025 were $431.4 million, an increase of $46.7 million, or 12.1%, from consolidated revenues of $384.7 million reported for the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended July 31, 2025, consolidated gross profit increased to approximately $81.1 million, or 18.8% of consolidated revenues, compared to consolidated gross profit of $49.0 million, or 12.8% of consolidated revenues, reported for the six months ended July 31, 2024.

For the six months ended July 31, 2025, Argan achieved net income of $57.8 million, or $4.09 per diluted share, versus net income of $26.1 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, for last year’s comparable period. EBITDA for the six months ended July 31, 2025 increased to $66.5 million compared to $36.7 million in the same period of last year.

As of July 31, 2025, consolidated project backlog was approximately $2.0 billion, as compared to approximately $1.4 billion at January 31, 2025.
