ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 26, 2026-- Argan, Inc.(NYSE: AGX) (“Argan” or the “Company”) today announces financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. The Company will host an investor conference call today, March 26, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. ET.

Consolidated Financial Highlights

($ in thousands, except per share data)

David Watson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Argan, commented, “Our record fourth quarter performance capped a year of strong execution throughout fiscal 2026, driving record top and bottom-line performance for the full year. During the year, we added $2.5 billion in new contract value, increasing our consolidated project backlog to more than $2.9 billion at year-end, reflecting substantial growth across the entire Argan platform. These are exciting times for our company as demand for our services remains exceptionally strong.

“With our longstanding customer base, proven track record of executional excellence, and industry-leading experience building large, complex power generating facilities, Argan is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the strong demand for reliable, high-performing energy infrastructure. The rapid growth of AI and data centers, the electrification of everything, the replacement of aging power facilities, and a prolonged period of underinvestment in power infrastructure are placing increasing pressure on our power grids. We are seeing a robust pipeline of opportunities to build new gas-fired power plants capable of delivering reliable, high-quality power on a 24/7 basis.

“As Argan enters its 20th year of building power plants, we remain as disciplined today as we were in our first year in the way we pursue opportunities and deliver successful project outcomes for our customers, employees, and shareholders. We are energized by our ability to continue driving meaningful revenue growth and enhanced profitability in the years ahead.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2026, were $262.1 million, an increase of $29.6 million, or 12.7%, from consolidated revenues of $232.5 million reported for the comparable prior-year quarter. The year-over-year increase reflects higher revenues across all of the Company’s business segments. In the Power segment, revenues increased as recently awarded contracts progressed through the early stages of construction, generating revenues that were not present in the prior-year period.

For the quarter ended January 31, 2026, Argan’s consolidated gross profit was $65.6 million, or 25.0% of consolidated revenues. Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended January 31, 2025 was $47.6 million, or 20.5% of consolidated revenues. The increase from the comparable prior-year quarter is primarily due to improved gross profit margins for the Power segment, reflecting strong project execution, including the early achievement of substantial completion at the Trumbull Energy Center.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.9 million and $14.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and represented 6.8% and 6.4% of corresponding consolidated revenues, respectively.

Other income, net, for the three months ended January 31, 2026 was $7.7 million, which primarily reflected investment income earned during the period.

For the quarter ended January 31, 2026, Argan achieved net income of $49.2 million, or $3.47 per diluted share, compared to $31.4 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, for last year’s fourth quarter. EBITDA for the quarter ended January 31, 2026 increased to $56.0 million compared to $39.3 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 $895.0 million and $525.1 million as of January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Balance sheet net liquidity was $421.0 million at January 31, 2026 and $301.4 million at January 31, 2025; furthermore, the Company had no debt.

Fiscal Year 2026 Results

Consolidated gross profit for Fiscal 2026 increased to approximately $193.7 million, or 20.5% of consolidated revenues, compared to consolidated gross profit of $141.0 million, or 16.1% of consolidated revenues, reported for Fiscal 2025.

For Fiscal 2026, Argan achieved net income of $137.8 million, or $9.74 per diluted share, versus net income of $85.5 million, or $6.15 per diluted share, for Fiscal 2025. EBITDA for Fiscal 2026 was $162.8 million, an increase of $49.3 million from EBITDA of $113.5 million for Fiscal 2025.
