| 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). | $9.1B | +29.5% | +14.0% |
| 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. | $1.0B | +95.7% | +19.2% |
| 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. | +24.1% | +14.8% | -1.7% |
| 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). | +14.4% | +35.2% | +0.9% |
| 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. | +11.2% | +51.1% | +4.6% |
| 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. | $1.0B | +39.8% | +313.5% |
| 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. | +11.3% | +7.9% | +262.8% |
| 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. | 32.1% | +77.3% | -15.4% |
| 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. | 1.21x | +12.1% | -2.1% |
| 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. | $6.4B | +36.7% | +22.3% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 28.88 vs 26.27 | +9.9% | 12.53 vs 12.81 | -2.2% |

Operator : Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Comfort Systems USA's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. As a reminder, today's program is being recorded. And now I'd like to introduce your host for today's program, Julie Shaeff, Chief Accounting Officer. Please go ahead. Julie Shaeff : Thanks, Jonathan. Good morning. Welcome to Comfort Systems USA's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. Our comments today as well as our press releases contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the applicable securities laws and regulations. What we will say today is based upon the current plans and expectations of Comfort Systems USA. Those plans and expectations include risks and uncertainties that might cause actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in our comments. You can read a detailed listing and commentary concerning our specific risk factors in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q as well as in our press release covering these earnings. A slide presentation is provided as a companion to our remarks and is posted on the Investor Relations section of the company's website on the comfortsystemsusa.com. Joining me on the call today are Brian Lane, Chief Executive Officer; Trent McKenna, President; and Bill George, Chief Financial Officer. Brian will open our remarks. Brian Lane : Okay. Thanks, Julie. Good morning, and thank you for joining us on the call today. We had a fantastic quarter with amazing execution by our teams. This is the first time that our quarterly revenue has exceeded $3 billion. We earned $12.53 per share this quarter, which is an increase of 92% compared to a year ago. Our Mechanical business experienced a sharp increase in profitability, and our Electrical segment also performed exceptionally well. Bookings continued to trend upwards, and our backlog increased to a new high of $14.1 billion. Demand remains strong, especially in Technology as we continue to book work with good margins and favorable working conditions for our valuable people, and we enter the second half of 2026 with increased sequential and year-over-year backlog. I want to welcome our newest acquisition, Hunt Electric, a transaction we mentioned last quarter and that closed on May 1. Hunt is a great electrical business based in Utah, and we expect Hunt will contribute about $250 million of annualized revenue. We also increased our quarterly dividend by $0.10 to $0.90 per share. Thanks to our amazing people, we expect strong results for the rest of 2026 and continuing success into 2027. Trent will discuss our operations and outlook in a few minutes, and I will make a few closing comments after our Q&A. But first, I will turn the call over to Bill to review our financial performance. Bill? William George : Thanks, Brian. Our results were once again extraordinary with 44% same-store revenue growth, approximately $1 billion in free cash flow and EBITDA that was higher than …
