The net income of $5.43 million and the diluted EPS of $0.18 indicate that the company was profitable during the quarter. However, the slight decrease of 1.5% in both net income and diluted EPS compared to the previous quarter suggests that the company faced some challenges or managed its expenses less efficiently. The revenue by segment also shows some variation, with the highest revenue generated from the Infrastructure, Engineering, and Support Services segment. Overall, while NV5 Global was profitable in Q4 2024, the slight decline in net income and diluted EPS and the variation in revenue by segment suggest that the company needs to address some operational challenges.
