| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $3.7B | +31.5% | +18.8% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $201.8M | +40.7% | +43.9% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +12.1% | +1.8% | +17.8% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +7.1% | +6.0% | +21.1% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +5.4% | +7.0% | +21.1% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $90.0M | -21.8% | -74.3% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +2.4% | -40.5% | -78.3% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 59.1% | -31.3% | -10.8% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.76x | -1.4% | -10.2% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $1.7B | +34.2% | +11.4% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 3.95 vs 3.64 | +8.4% | 1.64 vs 1.31 | +25.5% |

Operator: Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us, and welcome to the Everus Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] I will now hand over the conference to Paul Bartolai. Please go ahead. Paul Bartolai: Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Everus Construction Group's Second Quarter 2026 Results Conference Call. Leading the call today are CEO, Jeff Thiede; and CFO, Max Marcy. We issued a news release yesterday detailing our second quarter 2026 operational and financial results. This release and the accompanying presentation materials are available on our website at investors.everus.com. I would like to remind you that management's commentary and responses to questions on today's conference call may include forward-looking statements, which, by their nature, are uncertain and outside of the company's control. Although these forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs, actual results could differ materially. For a discussion of some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ, please refer to the Risk Factors section of our latest filings with the SEC. Additionally, please note that you can find reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures in the news release issued yesterday, and in the appendix of today's presentation. Today's call will begin with prepared remarks from Jeff, who will provide a review of our recent business performance, and an update on the progress against our strategic priorities. Followed by Max, who will provide a more detailed financial update before wrapping up with our guidance. At the conclusion of these prepared remarks, we will open the line for your questions. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Jeff. Jeff Thiede: Thank you, Paul, and good morning to everyone joining us today. Our positive momentum continued during the second quarter as sustained market demand and strong project execution resulted in another quarter of record revenues, meaningful margin expansion and robust backlog growth. We also made important progress against our key strategic priorities during the quarter. In April, we announced the acquisition of SE&M Constructors and the integration is progressing as planned. We followed this transaction up with the announcement this past Friday that we expect to acquire Epsilon Industries, a leading provider of off-site modular construction solutions. We are very excited about the transaction, which we expect will provide a meaningful expansion of our off-site construction capabilities. I will give more details on the transaction later in my comments. Our robust organic growth and strong project execution directly reflect the diligent efforts of our talent team across the company and our unwavering focus on our strategic priorities. Our people are what drive our business, and I am extremely proud and grateful for their hard work and dedication. Turning to our quarterly highlights, beginning with Slide 4. We …

Sparby's $144,950 purchase brings his direct stake to 19,658 shares, signaling confidence.

The consensus price target hints at a 44.8% upside potential for Everus Construction Group, Inc. (ECG). While empirical research shows that this sought-after metric is hardly effective, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions could mean that the stock will witness an upside in the near term.

BlackRock Inc. acquired a new position in Everus Construction Group, Inc. (NYSE: ECG) during the second quarter, according to the company in its most recent Form 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund acquired 6,593,812 shares of the company's stock, valued at approximately $1,094,243,000. BlackRock Inc. owned approximately 12.92%

The Wasatch U.S. Select Fund - Investor Class returned 12.46%, trailing the Russell 2500 Growth Index, which gained 24.02% during the quarter. While the market environment favoring low-quality companies was a large reason for our relative underperformance, we also held stocks that lost ground in the period, and that too weighed on relative results. The largest of the detractors was Ensign Group, an operator of skilled-nursing and senior-living facilities.

Everus Construction Group, Inc. (ECG) shares have started gaining and might continue moving higher in the near term, as indicated by solid earnings estimate revisions.
