Primoris Reports Sharp Q2 Decline Amid Renewable Energy Challenges
Event summary
- Q2 revenue down 10.7% YoY to $1.69B due to Energy segment declines.
- Net loss of $24.2M vs. $84.3M profit in Q2 2025, with Adjusted EBITDA dropping 92.6%.
- Record backlog reaches $13.9B, including $8.2B in master service agreements.
- Utilities revenue up 2.8% but margins compressed by storm restoration work shifts.
- Energy segment revenue down 19.2% due to renewable project delays and cost overruns.
The big picture
Primoris' Q2 results highlight the volatility in renewable energy projects, where cost overruns and delays are eroding margins despite strong demand for critical infrastructure services. The company's record backlog suggests long-term opportunities, but near-term execution risks loom large as it navigates project challenges across its Energy segment.
