**【CEO Summary Section】**
- **Leadership Transition**: John Hewitt will step down as CEO on June 30, 2026, with Sean Payne succeeding him as CEO. Sean has been elevated to Chief Operating Officer and will lead the company through its strategic growth phase.
- **Revenue Growth**: Q2 revenue rose 12% YoY to $210.5 million, driven by strong performance across all segments, particularly Utility and Power Infrastructure (+23%).
- **Project Challenges**: A $3.6 million unfavorable adjustment on a specialty tank project impacted gross profit, resulting in a $0.13 EPS hit. Management expects this issue to be resolved in Q3 with no further bleed-over.
- **Backlog and Pipeline**: Current backlog stands at $1.1 billion, with a pipeline expanding to $7.3 billion. Growth is fueled by LNG, NGL, and power infrastructure projects, despite delays in FIDs due to regulatory uncertainty.
- **Strategic Focus**: Emphasis on high-margin, complex projects in LNG storage, power generation, and data center infrastructure. The company is also expanding into mining and minerals, aligning with national infrastructure priorities.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- **Revenue Performance**: Q2 revenue of $210.5 million (+12% YoY) reflects strong execution across segments. Storage and Terminal Solutions (47% of revenue) saw growth in LNG/NGL projects, while Utility and Power Infrastructure (36% of revenue) delivered a 9.6% gross margin, up from 5.6% YoY.
- **Profitability**: Adjusted EBITDA improved by $4.6 million to $2.4 million, with a focus on returning to profitability in the second half of FY2026. Full-year revenue guidance remains $875 million to $925 million.
- **Cost Management**: SG&A expenses decreased 13% YoY to $15.1 million, driven by organizational realignment and lower stock-based compensation. Restructuring costs of $0.2 million were incurred in Q2.
- **Balance Sheet**: Cash balance of $224 million and no debt provide financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities.

**【Q&A Key Highlights】**
- **Project Execution Risks**: Management confirmed the $3.6 million project issue is isolated and resolved, with no further impacts expected. Other projects are executing within target margins.
- **Pipeline Growth**: The $7.3 billion pipeline expansion reflects increased activity in LNG, NGL, and mining/minerals. However, FID delays in the midstream sector (e.g., permitting challenges) are pushing project timelines into FY2027.
- **Data Center Infrastructure**: The company is actively bidding on substation and backup fuel projects tied to AI data centers, with potential awards in H2 FY2026. This aligns with the national focus on reliable power for AI infrastructure.
- **Competitive Positioning**: Margins remain within the 10-12% target range, with higher-margin projects (e.g., LNG storage) offsetting lower-margin maintenance work. The company is selective in pursuing projects that align with its risk and financial profiles.
- **Share Buybacks**: While cash is available, management prioritizes inorganic growth opportunities and operational catch-up spending. Share buybacks are contingent on the absence of attractive M&A opportunities.
