"Our second quarter results continue to demonstrate the sustainable growth programs and market leadership positions we have been steadily building over the past few years, and bolsters our position as we enter the back half of the year.  I am pleased that we set new records across a broad set of core financial metrics, which were driven by great execution from our entire team. Although there is still work to be done, it is especially rewarding to have generated record backlog on top of delivering the highest quarterly revenue in company history while adding a book-to-bill ratio of greater than 1.25 for the third consecutive quarter," said CECO Chief Executive Officer, Todd Gleason.

Second quarter operating income was $8.6 million, up $2.9 million when compared to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2022. On an adjusted basis, non-GAAP operating income was $11.4 million, up $2.7 million when compared to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2022. Net income was $3.7 million in the quarter, down $0.7 million compared to $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP net income was $5.2 million, down $1.2 million compared to $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA of $13.7 million was up $3.1 million compared to $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. Free cash flow in the quarter was $10.0 million, down $9.1 million compared to $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2022.

"The 23 percent revenue growth in the quarter was comprised of 16 points of organic growth and seven points from acquisitions. Additionally, we continue to steadily improve our gross profit dollars and gross margins which are up 150 basis points in the first half of 2023 when compared to the same period a year ago. Over the past few years, we have been investing in strategic growth programs and operational excellence resources to generate sustainable and higher performing financial results. We are just starting to see these strategic shifts positively impact our financials as we believe we are in the early stages of creating more sustained top-line and bottom-line growth and margin expansion," added Gleason.

Company Raises Full Year 2023 Outlook

The Company increased its expected full year 2023 guidance to reflect revenues forecasted to be between $500 and $525 million, up at least 21 percent, at the mid-point, year over year. The Company also updated its expected full year 2023 adjusted EBITDA forecasted to be between $50 and $55 million, up approximately 25 percent, at the mid-point, year over year. The updated expected full year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance compares to the previous outlook, provided in May, of revenues to exceed $485 million and adjusted EBITDA to exceed $50 million.

"We are pleased to increase our full year guidance, which reflects continued confidence in the high performance and advantageous diversity of the CECO portfolio. Our record backlog and strong sales pipeline provide strong visibility in support of sustainable future growth.  Additionally, the acquisitions we have completed over the past year and a half are all performing at or above the high-growth financials associated with each transaction," stated Gleason. "As I discussed last quarter and reiterate today, we expect 2023 to be another building block in our steady transformational journey to further advance our leadership in our Industrial Air, Industrial Water and Energy Transition markets which we expect to provide long-term value for our shareholders."
