(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPIH) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and 2025 fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.
“For the three months ended January 31, 2026, net sales were $55.1 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 22.4%, compared to $45.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Growth was driven by higher sales volumes in both the Middle East and North America. Gross profit was $17.3 million, up $2.1 million from $15.2 million last year, reflecting higher activity levels. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to $10.3 million from $9.7 million, primarily due to higher payroll costs, partially offset by lower bonus costs. The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 12.3%, compared to 32.1% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting the impact of product mix across various tax jurisdictions. As a result, net income attributable to common stock was $4.9 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 172.2%, compared to $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024,” noted President and CEO Saleh Sagr.
“For the year ended January 31, 2026, net sales were $210.9 million, an increase of $52.5 million, or 33.1%, compared to $158.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes in both the Middle East and North America. Gross profit was $69.5 million, compared to $53.2 million in the prior year period, reflecting increased activity levels. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $40.1 million, up from $32.9 million, due to higher payroll and professional fees, including approximately $1.0 million related to Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance in connection with our transition from a non-accelerated filer to an accelerated filer. This also includes a one-time compensation charge of approximately $2.0 million related to the departure of the previous CEO. The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.9%, compared to 29.1% in the prior-year period. The change in the Company's effective tax rate reflects product mix across various tax jurisdictions and the Company’s overall reduction in its effective tax rate for the year was partially offset by the impact of a tax limitation related to the one-time charge associated with the prior CEO’s departure. Net income attributable to common stock was $17.0 million, an increase of $8.0 million, or 88.9%, compared to $9.0 million in fiscal 2024,” Mr. Sagr commented.
President and CEO Saleh Sagr added: “Our backlog stood at $121.6 million as of January 31, 2026. This reflects strong operational execution as we successfully accelerated the conversion of existing sales orders into realized revenue. Our backlog remains at historically strong levels. We continue to see meaningful multi-regional expansion, particularly across North America and the Middle East, reinforcing sustained global demand for our solutions.”
“Our fiscal 2025 results represent a landmark achievement for the Company. Total revenues of $210.9 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $17.0 million mark our highest level of earnings in the Company’s modern operating history, driven not only by strong top-line growth but also by improved margins. This record performance was driven by broad-based strength across our global footprint, with significant growth contributions from the Middle East and North America. Our ability to scale across these diverse markets while maintaining disciplined margin performance has enabled us to convert top-line momentum into meaningful bottom-line value for our shareholders.”
“To sustain this trajectory, we have entered into a long-term lease for a new production facility in Ohio (AI data centers). This strategically located hub will serve as a primary logistics center for the Northeast and New England corridors, enabling us to localize production for our district heating and cooling offerings and capture additional regional market share. The region’s favorable and flexible labor environment further enhances our operational agility.”
“Supporting our long-term growth strategy, we also finalized a new credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase. This agreement represents a watershed moment for the Company. We have standardized our borrowing platform globally at significantly improved terms. This transition optimizes our cost of capital while providing the liquidity necessary to support the next phase of our global expansion,” Mr. Sagr continued.
“With record earnings as our foundation and a modernized capital structure as our fuel, we enter the remainder of 2026 with strong confidence in our ability to scale our global operations and drive meaningful shareholder returns,” Mr. Sagr concluded.
2025 Results
Net sales were $210.9 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $52.5 million, or 33.1%, from $158.4 million in the prior year. The growth was primarily driven by higher sales volumes across our key markets in the Middle East, Canada, and the United States
Gross profit was $69.5 million, or 33% of net sales, compared to $53.2 million, or 34% of net sales, in the prior year. The $16.3 million was driven by higher sales volumes and consistent gross margins globally.
General and administrative expenses were $35.3 million, compared to $28.0 million in the prior year. The increase of $7.3 million was primarily related to higher compensation costs and professional fees, including approximately $1.0 million relating to Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance in connection with our transition from a non-accelerated filer to an accelerated filer. This also includes a one-time compensation charge of approximately $2.0 million related to the departure of the previous CEO.
Selling expenses were $4.7 million, compared to $4.9 million in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $0.2 million was primarily driven by lower payroll expenses during the year.
Interest expense, net was $1.8 million and $1.9 million in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $0.1 million was the result of an overall reduction in interest rates during the year.
The Company's worldwide effective tax rates ("ETR") were 24.9% and 29.1% in the years ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in ETR was largely due to changes in the mix of income and loss in various tax jurisdictions and the domestic Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") inclusion.
Net income attributable to common stock was $17.0 million, or $ 2.09 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, compared to $9.0 million, or $ 1.12 per diluted share, in the prior year. The 89% increase was driven by the significant growth in sales volumes and operational efficiencies discussed above, partially offset by the one-time charges previously noted and amounts attributable to non-controlling interest.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
ADJUSTED INCOME BEFORE TAX
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)
The following information contains a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted income before income tax and income before tax prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. This reconciliation is intended to provide investors with useful information in evaluating the Company's performance. Adjusted income before tax includes certain adjustments as identified below. This measure is not considered an alternative to income before tax or other financial measures of performance that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the exclusion of certain items from income before tax allows investors to more effectively evaluate the Company's operating performance and identify trends that might not be apparent due to the variability and infrequent nature of these items. In addition, the Company believes this measure provides meaningful information to investors when comparing results between periods and performance with respect to the Company's peers.
Adjustments were made for certain items as follows: (i) a one-time charge associated with the acceleration of executive compensation; (ii) a one-time litigation settlement charge; and (iii) other non-recurring items. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of the company’s current financial performance and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures:
