Orion Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ORN; NYSE TX: ORN) (the “Company” or “Orion”), a leading specialty construction company, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2026
- Revenue of $256.2 million, GAAP net income of $5.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA of $17.9 million, and Adjusted EPS of $0.12 per diluted share
- Booked awards and change orders of $179 million; won positions on two additional U.S. Navy Multiple Award Construction Contracts (“MACC”)
- Reiterated full year 2026 financial guidance
“We delivered a strong third quarter, marked by double-digit revenue growth, expanding profitability and margins, and solid bookings and awards. These results reflect the health of our end markets and our commitment to delivering with predictable excellence,” said Travis Boone, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orion. “We expect this momentum to continue into the fourth quarter, and we are pleased to reiterate our 2026 annual guidance.”
“The Concrete segment delivered an outstanding quarter, highlighted by top- and bottom-line growth with excellent margin expansion benefitted by strong execution. Activity remains robust across mission-critical and large-scale infrastructure markets, supported by our geographic growth, broader site civil services, and a diverse mix of project awards.”
“In Marine, end markets remain strong, and we are actively engaging early on large, complex projects, sharpening our competitive positioning. Our recent selection on two additional U.S. Navy MACC contract vehicles broadens our access to significant federal opportunities. Continued investment in defense, port, and maritime infrastructure reinforces our confidence in Orion’s outlook and our ability to create long-term shareholder value,” concluded Boone.
Contract revenues of $256.2 million in the third quarter of 2026 increased $31.1 million, or 14%, from $225.1 million in the third quarter of last year. The increase was driven by double-digit growth in both operating segments reflecting highly active projects, disciplined execution, favorable operating conditions, and the acquisition of J.E. McAmis.
Gross profit was $33.1 million in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of $3.3 million, or 11%, from $29.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenue volume and increased profitability in our Concrete segment attributable to strong execution, partially offset by Marine close-out benefits in 2025 that did not recur in 2026.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $24.7 million for the third quarter of 2026, down from $25.1 million in the third quarter of last year.
GAAP net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, was $5.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $3.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the third quarter of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2026 increased 37% to $17.9 million, compared to $13.1 million in the third quarter of 2025.
Third quarter 2026 backlog included approximately $179 million in new awards. Third quarter Marine awards included a significant wharf repair for the U.S. Navy, the next phase of construction on the North Jetty project, and two projects in Hawaii. Recent Concrete awards included a large concrete paving package, new phases of data center campuses, a college research building, and a water treatment plant.
The Company won positions on two new MACC contract vehicles. The first is on the $9 billion U.S. Navy VENTI MACC, the largest procurement action in Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (“NAVFAC”) Northwest’s history that encompasses a broad range of major construction projects across the region. The second is on the $700 million NAVFAC Northwest Waterfront MACC that is focused on the construction, repair and modernization of piers, wharves and other critical waterfront infrastructure. These programs are strategically important because they limit the pool of qualified contractors competing for future potential task orders under large federal programs.
Balance Sheet Update
As of September 30, 2026, working capital was $81 million, including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million. Total debt outstanding was $109 million, with $83 million of outstanding borrowings under the UMB Credit Facility.
