Argan, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

Reports Record Backlog of $3.0 Billion

Argan, Inc. (NYSE: AGX) (“Argan” or the “Company”) today announces financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2026 ended October 31, 2025. The Company will host an investor conference call today, December 4, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET.

David Watson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Argan, commented, “We delivered solid third quarter results highlighted by our record backlog of $3.0 billion, which as expected, reflects the addition of two new gas-fired projects in the quarter – the 1.4 GW CPV Basin Ranch Energy Center in Ward County, Texas, and a 860 MW facility, also located in Texas. With these new projects added, we are currently under contract for the construction of approximately 6 GW of power generating assets.

“There is significant urgency around the construction of new, combined-cycle natural gas projects as older facilities reach the end of their useful life and new resources are needed to meet the growing demand for reliable energy to power the ‘electrification of everything’. Moving forward, we expect to periodically add projects to our backlog as power plant construction projects underway make progress and are completed. With our visibility today, we are optimistic about our ability to drive revenue growth and enhanced profitability for many years to come. As we move through the close of fiscal 2026, we remain committed to our disciplined approach to capitalizing on the strong demand we are seeing for our services, with a focus on pursuing the right projects with the right partners in the right geographies.”

Third Quarter Results

Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2025, were $251.2 million, a decrease of $5.9 million, or 2.3%, from consolidated revenues of $257.0 million reported for the comparable prior-year quarter. The decrease in revenues relative to the prior-year quarter reflects the timing of work performed and project mix, as recently awarded contracts are progressing through early construction stages, while the prior-year period included peak execution activity on several large projects.

For the quarter ended October 31, 2025, Argan’s consolidated gross profit was $46.9 million, or 18.7% of consolidated revenues. Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended October 31, 2024 was $44.3 million, or 17.2% of consolidated revenues. The increase from the comparable prior-year quarter is primarily due to improved gross profit margins for the Power Industry Services and Industrial Construction Services segments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14.3 million and $14.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and represented 5.7% and 5.4% of corresponding consolidated revenues, respectively.

Other income, net, for the three months ended October 31, 2025 was $7.1 million, which primarily reflected investment income earned during the period.

For the quarter ended October 31, 2025, Argan achieved net income of $30.7 million, or $2.17 per diluted share, compared to $28.0 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, for last year’s third quarter. EBITDA for the quarter ended October 31, 2025 increased to $40.3 million compared to $37.5 million for the same quarter of last year.

Argan continues to generate significant cash flow and increased its total balance of cash, cash equivalents and investments during the quarter. The total balances were $726.8 million and $525.1 million as of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively. Balance sheet net liquidity was $377.3 million at October 31, 2025 and $301.4 million at January 31, 2025; furthermore, the Company had no debt.

First Nine Months Results

Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 were $682.6 million, an increase of $40.9 million, or 6.4%, from consolidated revenues of $641.7 million reported for the comparable prior year period. For the nine months ended October 31, 2025, consolidated gross profit increased to approximately $128.1 million, or 18.8% of consolidated revenues, compared to consolidated gross profit of $93.4 million, or 14.6% of consolidated revenues, reported for the nine months ended October 31, 2024.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2025, Argan achieved net income of $88.6 million, or $6.27 per diluted share, versus net income of $54.1 million, or $3.91 per diluted share, for last year’s comparable period. EBITDA for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 increased to $106.8 million compared to $74.2 million in the same period of last year.
