The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
CECO Environmental Corp. (“CECO,” “we,” “us,” "our," or the “Company”) is a leading environmentally focused, diversified industrial company, serving the broad landscape of industrial air, industrial water and energy transition markets globally providing innovative technology and application expertise through a collection of focused operating companies with niche leadership positions and well-established brands in fragmented markets with flexible business models and established supply chains. CECO helps companies grow their business with safe, clean, and more efficient solutions that help protect people, the environment and industrial equipment. CECO's solutions improve air and water quality, optimize emissions management, and increase the energy and process efficiency for highly engineered applications in power generation, midstream and downstream hydrocarbon processing and transport, chemical processing, electric vehicle production, polysilicon fabrication, semiconductor and electronics production, battery production and recycling, specialty metals, aluminum and steel production, beverage can manufacturing, and industrial and produced water and wastewater treatment, and a wide range of other industrial end markets.
On February 23, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Longhorn Merger Sub, Inc. and Longhorn Merger Sub LLC, each a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (together, the “Merger Subs”), and Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. (“Thermon”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to effect the merger transactions contemplated thereby. On June 1, 2026, the Company consummated the previously announced merger with Thermon in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The cash portion of the merger consideration and related transaction costs were funded with available cash and borrowings under our existing credit facilities. For additional details, see Note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The acquisition of Thermon significantly impacts the comparability of the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the corresponding prior-year periods.
Market Pressures
The senior management team monitors and manages the Company's ability to operate effectively as the result of market pressures. Against the current backdrop of a rapidly evolving global commercial environment, we believe we are comparatively well-positioned as we execute and manufacture a majority of our business in the same regions in which we sell, with our cost and revenue bases largely aligned as a result. Recently, international trade has been impacted by conflict in the Middle East and geopolitical tariff considerations. To mitigate potential impacts from further escalation of conflict in the Middle East, we have implemented contingency planning measures and continue to assess potential effects on our operations, supply chain, and financial results. To mitigate potential tariff-related impacts, we have worked strategically with customers and suppliers to optimize terms and pricing, sourcing locations, and logistics routes and schedules. While we will continue to take a proactive approach on our efforts to mitigate the impacts of these matters, our business and results could be adversely affected by further policy developments. Additionally, we could experience shortages of raw materials and inflationary pressures for certain materials and labor. We have secured raw materials from existing and alternate suppliers and have taken other mitigating actions to mitigate supply disruptions; however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to continue to do so in the future. If we are unable to continue to mitigate the effects of these supply disruptions and/or inflationary pressures, our business, results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These GAAP financial statements include certain charges the Company believes are not indicative of its core ongoing operational performance.
As a result, the Company provides financial information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis that was not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides this non-GAAP financial information because the Company’s management utilizes it to evaluate its ongoing financial performance and the Company believes it provides greater transparency to investors as supplemental information to its GAAP results.
24
The Company has provided the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin as a result of items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations. These include transactions associated with the Company’s acquisitions, divestiture, and the items described below in “Consolidated Results.” The Company believes that these items are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations and their exclusion provides individuals with additional information to better compare the Company's results over multiple periods. The Company utilizes this information to evaluate its ongoing financial performance. The Company has incurred substantial expense and income associated with acquisitions. While the Company cannot predict the exact timing or amounts of such charges, it does expect to treat the financial impact of these transactions as special items in its future presentation of non-GAAP results.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased $99.6 million, or 53.7%, to $285.0 million compared with $185.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, inclusive of organic growth of 44%. Approximately 82.1% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 is attributable to organic revenue, which the Company defines as revenue from businesses owned for more than twelve months. The increase in organic revenue is driven by strong order intake in preceding quarters, which contributes to the backlog position. During the quarter, the Company continues to execute customer projects and satisfy contractual commitments
26
without experiencing material delays. The largest contributor to organic revenue growth is demand for products and solutions serving power generation end markets. The remainder of the increase in net sales is attributable to the recent acquisition and integration of Thermon.
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $128.8 million, or 35.6%, to $490.9 million compared with $362.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, inclusive of organic growth of 42%. The increase in organic revenue is driven by significant order intake in the preceding quarters which led to a record backlog position. The Company executed customer projects in accordance with contractual commitments without experiencing material delays. The largest driver of organic revenue is demand for products and solutions supporting power generation end markets. The remainder of the increase in net sales is attributable to the Company’s recent integration of Thermon.
Gross profit increased $19.4 million, or 28.9%, to $86.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $67.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume as described above. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 30.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with 36.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Income tax expense was $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with income tax expense of $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was 22.6% compared with 30.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 28.1% compared with 33.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 differ from the United States federal statutory rate. Our effective tax rate is affected by other permanent differences, including the gain on the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business, state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation, and differences in tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate.
Orders booked increased $524.4 million, or 192%, to $798.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $274.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, inclusive of organic growth of 185%, as defined as the change in orders excluding the impact of orders recorded in the twelve month period subsequent to acquisition dates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, $509.0 million was provided by financing activities compared with $14.2 million provided by financing activities in the prior year period, for an increase of $494.9 million. The increase was driven by increased borrowings on the Company's Credit Facility, inclusive of the Incremental Term A-1 Loan Facility, to fund the cash consideration and other closing costs paid in connection with the acquisition of Thermon.
