Management Comments

"Limbach delivered record performance across multiple key metrics in 2025, including a return to significant top-line growth for the first time since 2020 as we continued our transition of the business to an ODR-focused model," said Mike McCann, President and Chief Executive Officer of Limbach. "We ended the year with ODR representing approximately 75% of revenue, achieving our stated target.

"During the year, we completed the acquisition of Pioneer Power, expanding our geographic reach to the Upper Midwest and enhancing our competitive positioning in key verticals, particularly within the industrial and manufacturing sector. The integration of Pioneer Power is progressing ahead of our expectations. We are now focusing on margin improvement, a critical component of our value creation model and part of our proven integration playbook.

"We continued to invest in our sales organization to pursue national accounts while maintaining strong local execution. This includes a focused effort to expand nationally across mission-critical end markets, with particular emphasis on healthcare, large-scale data center infrastructure, and industrial and manufacturing, where sophisticated enterprise customers value technical depth, reliability, and disciplined direct engagement.

"With our strong balance sheet and durable business model, we believe we are well positioned to execute our growth strategy and become a leading long-term partner to building owners with mission critical systems. As we approach our 125th anniversary during 2026, we expect continued momentum. Our key strategic priorities for the year include driving ODR organic revenue growth, expanding margins through more evolved customer solutions, and executing disciplined capital allocation while scaling the business through acquisitions."

The following are results for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024:

• Total revenue increased 30.1%, or $43.2 million, to $186.9 million from $143.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Pioneer Power. Of the total increase, acquisition-related revenue represented 22.9% of the increase, or $33.0 million, and organic revenue represented 7.1%, or $10.3 million.
  • ODR segment revenue increased 51.8%, or $49.5 million, to $145.0 million. Acquisition-related revenue represented 27.9% of the increase, or $26.6 million, while organic revenue represented 23.9%, or $22.8 million.
  • General Contractor Relationships ("GCR") segment revenue decreased 13.0%, or $6.3 million, to $41.9 million. Organic revenue decreased 26.1%, or $12.6 million, as the Company continued its strategic focus on ODR, partially offset by a 13.1%, or $6.3 million increase in acquisition-related revenue.
• Total gross profit increased 10.4% to $48.1 million compared to $43.6 million. Total gross margin of 25.7% decreased from 30.3%.
  • ODR gross profit increased 19.1%, or $5.8 million, from $30.6 million to $36.4 million while gross margin decreased from 32.1% to 25.1%, primarily due to the impact of Pioneer Power. Management is focused on improving Pioneer Power's gross margin to align with the Company's broader operating model as part of its value creation strategy for acquisitions. Gross margin improvement at Pioneer Power is expected throughout 2026 as the Company continues to further execute its value creation playbook.
  • GCR gross profit decreased 10.2%, or $1.3 million, from $13.0 million to $11.6 million, primarily due to lower segment revenue; however, gross margin increased from 26.9% to 27.8% driven by the Company's selective focus on higher quality projects.
• Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense increased by approximately $0.6 million to $28.0 million, compared to $27.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by $2.6 million of SG&A expenses associated with the acquired entities (Consolidated Mechanical, LLC ("Consolidated Mechanical") and Pioneer Power), primarily offset by a decrease in payroll-related expenses within the Company's existing business. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 15.0% compared to 19.1%, primarily due to increased revenue from the Pioneer Power acquisition.
• Interest expense was $0.8 million, an increase of $0.3 million, compared to $0.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in interest expense was driven by higher borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility to partially finance the Pioneer Power acquisition, as well as higher financing costs associated with a larger vehicle fleet.
• Interest income was less than $0.1 million compared to $0.5 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was related to reduced cash and cash equivalent balances and lower yields on investments.
• Net income increased 25.0% to $12.3 million compared to $9.8 million. Diluted earnings per share was $1.02 compared to $0.82.
• Adjusted net income increased 22.6% to $16.9 million compared to $13.8 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.40 compared to $1.15.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 30.8% to $27.2 million compared to $20.8 million.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $28.1 million compared to $19.3 million.

The following are results for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024:

• Total revenue increased 24.7%, or $128.0 million, from $518.8 million to $646.8 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Pioneer Power, Consolidated Mechanical and Kent Island Mechanical, LLC ("Kent Island"). Of the total increase, acquisition-related revenue represented 21.0% of the increase, or $109.1 million, and organic revenue represented 3.6% of the increase, or $18.9 million.
  • ODR segment revenue increased 40.6%, or $140.2 million, to $485.7 million. Acquisition-related revenue represented 23.6% of the increase, or $81.4 million, while organic revenue represented 17.0% of the increase, or $58.8 million.
  • GCR segment revenue decreased 7.0%, or $12.2 million, to $161.1 million. Organic revenue decreased 23.0%, or $39.9 million, as the Company continued its strategic focus on ODR, partially offset by a 16.0%, or $27.7 million, increase in acquisition-related revenue.
• Total gross profit increased 17.4% to $169.3 million compared to $144.3 million. Total gross margin of 26.2% decreased from 27.8% in 2024.
  • ODR gross profit increased 20.5%, or $22.1 million, from $107.8 million to $129.9 million on higher revenue while gross margin decreased from 31.2% to 26.7%, primarily due to the impact of Pioneer Power's lower gross margin, as well as ODR-related project write-ups recognized in 2024 that did not recur in 2025.
  • GCR gross profit increased 8.0%, or $2.9 million, from $36.5 million to $39.4 million, and gross margin increased to 24.5% from 21.1% driven by the Company's intentional focus on higher quality projects.
• SG&A expense increased by $12.3 million to $109.5 million, compared to $97.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in total SG&A was primarily driven by $9.3 million of SG&A expenses associated with the acquisitions of Pioneer Power, Consolidated Mechanical and Kent Island. SG&A attributable to the existing business increased $3.0 million primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and a $1.1 million increase in bad debt expense associated with the write-off of certain customer receivables that were deemed uncollectible. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 16.9% compared to 18.7%, primarily due to increased revenue from the Pioneer Power acquisition.
• Interest expense was $3.1 million, an increase of $1.3 million, compared to $1.9 million. The increase in interest expense was driven by higher borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility to partially finance the Pioneer Power acquisition, as well as higher financing costs associated with a larger vehicle fleet.
• Interest income was $0.8 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, compared to $2.2 million. This decrease was related to reduced cash and cash equivalent balances and lower yields on investments.
• Net income increased 26.5% to $39.1 million from $30.9 million. Diluted earnings per share was $3.23 compared to $2.57 in the prior year.
• Adjusted net income increased 26.0% to $54.5 million compared to $43.2 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $4.51 compared to $3.60.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 28.4% to $81.8 million compared to $63.7 million.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $45.7 million compared to $36.8 million in the prior year, primarily due to the acquisitions of Pioneer Power, Consolidated Mechanical and Kent Island.

At December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $11.3 million. Current assets were $195.0 million and current liabilities were $135.1 million, representing a current ratio of 1.44x compared to 1.46x at December 31, 2024.

2026 Guidance

The Company is providing its full year 2026 guidance, as summarized in the table below:

With respect to projected 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (and the assumptions underlying those projections), a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to certain items, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (and components that go into the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA). The Company expects the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on future financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In assessing the performance of our business, management utilizes a variety of financial and performance measures. The key measures are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, and taxes, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of, when applicable, other non-cash items or expenses that are unusual or non-recurring that we believe do not reflect our core operating results. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Our board of directors and executive management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as two of our key performance and compensation measures. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of certain items that do not necessarily reflect our core operations. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our financial performance for the current period and our ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes, capital expenditures and debt service.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income, adjusted to exclude certain items that do not reflect our core operating performance, such as amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, the change in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and other transaction costs and the net tax effect of reconciling items, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of, when applicable, other non-cash or expenses that are unusual or non-recurring. We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We believe Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share are useful to investors as we use these metrics to assist with strategic decision making, forecasting future results, and evaluating current performance.

We understand that these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance and to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share. Our calculations of these non-GAAP measures, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. When assessing our operating performance, investors and others should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, the results presented by Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and net income to Adjusted Net Income, the most comparable GAAP measures, are provided below.

We refer to our estimated revenue on uncompleted contracts, including the amount of revenue on contracts for which work has not begun, less the revenue we have recognized under such contracts, as "backlog." Backlog includes unexercised contract options.

Supplemental Revenue Disclosures

Organic and acquisition-related revenue are not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors by highlighting the underlying growth trends of the Company's existing operations, separate from the effects of recent acquisitions. Organic revenue reflects the change in revenue from the Company's continuing operations excluding the impact of acquisitions, while acquisition-related revenue represents the incremental contribution from businesses acquired only for the twelve-month period following the date of acquisition. These measures are intended to enhance investors' understanding of the Company's performance and trends over time, and should be considered in conjunction with, but not as a substitute for, GAAP revenue.

The following are reconciliations of reported revenue to organic / acquisition-related revenue for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to revenue for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024:
