Management Commentary

"We delivered an exceptional fourth quarter with WTS revenue of $84.0 million and a healthy gross margin of 21.2%," said Scott Montross, President and Chief Executive Officer of NWPX Infrastructure. "Robust bidding activity increased our WTS backlog including confirmed orders to $346 million, positioning us well for continued momentum in 2026. Precast also performed well, generating $41.7 million in revenue and a 21.5% gross margin, reflecting improvement both sequentially and compared against the year ago quarter. The Precast order book ended the year at a stable $57 million, providing solid visibility in 2026."

Mr. Montross continued, "For the full year, we achieved record financial performance driven by disciplined execution, operational improvements across our facilities, and sustained demand in our end markets. WTS generated record revenue of $350.9 million and record gross profit of $67.1 million, while Precast delivered record revenue of $175.1 million and gross profit of $36.5 million. Consolidated gross profit also reached a record $103.6 million. We produced $67.3 million in operating cash flow and $35.4 million in net income, or $3.56 per diluted share, demonstrating the strength, consistency, and quality of our earnings. We are also excited to announce that we have acquired Boughton, a single-site precast business in Pueblo, Colorado, establishing a strategic foothold in a market with meaningful long-term growth potential. Most importantly, we delivered another record safety year with a record total recordable incident rate of 1.06, reflecting our culture and belief that operational excellence begins with protecting the well-being of our employees."

Mr. Montross concluded, "As we enter 2026, we do so with a strong WTS backlog, elevated first quarter bidding levels, and a stable Precast order book with improving margins. While normal weather-related seasonality is expected in WTS in the first quarter, we anticipate full year bidding activity to be consistent with 2025 levels. In Precast, demand remains solid, and our order book supports continued progress in revenue and margin performance. As a result, we expect the first quarter to be stronger than in recent years and believe we are well-positioned to deliver another very strong year in 2026."
