The market was apparently unhappy with these results as Orion’s stock price dropped over 20% in early trading on Wednesday
HOUSTON, July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Orion Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ORN) (the “Company” or “Orion”), a leading specialty construction company, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and updated its full-year 2026 outlook.
Highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2026
- Revenue of $221.9 million, GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA of $7.9 million and Adjusted EPS of $0.02 per diluted share
- Booked awards and change orders of $277 million; book-to-bill of 1.25X in the quarter
- Reset full-year 2026 guidance
“In the quarter, Orion delivered solid year-over-year revenue growth and project bookings, reflecting favorable demand in our end markets. Our confidence in the long-term opportunities across our Marine and Concrete businesses remains robust, and our pipeline of opportunities has grown to approximately $27 billion. Recent awards across both of our businesses reinforce our competitive position in attractive end markets, spanning defense infrastructure, port and transportation infrastructure, data centers, healthcare and advanced manufacturing. With a growing opportunity pipeline, expanded capabilities, and an outstanding team delivering projects that matter, our conviction in Orion’s long-term growth trajectory is strong,” said Travis Boone, Chief Executive Officer of Orion.
“Our Concrete business posted excellent results reporting over 30% revenue growth and over 45% adjusted EBITDA growth in the quarter benefitting from expansion of site civil services, favorable utilization and solid execution. Marine contract revenue and adjusted EBITDA were down primarily due to the timing of project start-ups and lower equipment utilization, and we have reset our full year 2026 guidance accordingly. Today, we have strong visibility into the remainder of the year with nearly 90% of Marine work under contract and strong Concrete momentum to achieve our updated guidance,” concluded Boone.
Second Quarter 2026 Results
Amounts in the table are in millions, except per share information
See definitions and reconciliation of non-GAAP measures elsewhere in this release.
Contract revenues of $221.9 million in the second quarter of 2026 increased $16.6 million, or 8%, from $205.3 million in the second quarter of last year. The increase was driven by the Concrete segment, reflecting strong demand, new project awards and higher volumes. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in Marine revenue, primarily attributable to the timing of project start-ups due to client-related issues such as site readiness and timing of delivery of client-provided materials.
Gross profit was $22.9 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 11%, from $25.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower Marine volume and equipment utilization The decrease was partially offset by favorable project execution within the Concrete segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $24.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, up from $22.8 million in the second quarter of last year, primarily attributable to costs to support business growth.
GAAP net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $4.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year.
