David Watson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Argan, commented, “We delivered a strong start to fiscal 2027 with record revenue of $291 million, gross margin of 21%, diluted earnings per share of $3.24, and adjusted EBITDA of $56.4 million. Our first quarter results reflect exceptional execution across our business, with all three of our operating segments achieving significant revenue growth as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2026. “Our project pipeline remains robust, with heightened demand for our capabilities as the electrification of everything, the onshoring of domestic manufacturing, and the proliferation of data centers continue to create an urgent need for additional energy infrastructure. Gas-fired plants remain the ideal solution for delivering the reliable, uninterrupted power needed, and only a limited number of firms are able to successfully execute these complex projects. The robust demand environment, coupled with our proven track record, allows us a disciplined approach in choosing the right projects, in the right locations, with the right partners. “Our industrial segment is also seeing increased demand, highlighted by a data center contract we were awarded in November 2025 for the fabrication of pressure vessels. In support of this project and to better position us to address new opportunities, we have begun construction on a new fabrication facility in North Carolina, which we expect to complete during the third quarter of fiscal 2027. “Argan remains very well positioned with the skill set, financial flexibility, industry relationships and longstanding customer base to capitalize on the current demand environment as we strengthen our leadership role as a partner of choice for the buildout of energy and industrial infrastructure.” First Quarter Results Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2026, were $291.0 million, an increase of $97.3 milli on, or 50.2%, from consolidated revenues of $193.7 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, revenue growth was driven by the continued ramp-up of construction activities on recently awarded contracts. For the quarter ended April 30, 2026, Argan's consolidated gross profit was $61.1 million, or 21.0% of c onsolidated revenues, compared to $36.9 million, or 19.0% of consolidated revenues, for the quarter ended April 30, 2025. The increase primarily reflects improved gross profit margins in the Power segment, driven by a shift in project and contract mix, strong project execution, and the achievement of substantial completion ahead of schedule on the final Midwest Solar and Battery Project. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $15.7 million and $12.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and represented 5.4% and 6.5% of corresponding consolidated revenues, respectively. Other income, net, for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was $8.4 million, which primarily reflected investment income earned during the period. For the quarter ended April 30, 2026, Argan achieved net income of $46.1 million, or $3.24 per diluted share, compared to $22.6 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, for last year’s first quarter. EBITDA for the quarter ended April 30, 2026 increased to $54.4 million compared to $30.3 million for the same quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended April 30, 2026 increased to $56.4 million compared to $31.5 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 $973.6 million and $895.0 million as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Within this press release, the Company makes reference to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to management and investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance because they exclude certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results or may affect comparability between periods or among companies with different capital structures, tax positions, depreciation policies, or equity compensation practices. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin exclude stock-based compensation expense, a non-cash item that management believes impacts the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with, and not as substitutes for, the GAAP financial information presented in this press release. These measures have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude certain items, including interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, stock-based compensation expense. The methods used by the Company to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Financial tables at the end of this press release provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Safe Harbor Statement Certain matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Reference is hereby made to the cautionary statements made by the Company with respect to risk factors set forth in its most recent reports on Form 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other SEC filings. The Company’s future financial performance is subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the successful addition of new contracts to project backlog, the receipt of corresponding notices to proceed with contract activities, and the Company’s ability to successfully complete the projects that it obtains. Actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to the risk factors highlighted above and described regularly in the Company’s SEC filings.
